Be the best actor, raise the most handsome dog

Although the fire caused by this sudden huge explosion was extinguished with the efforts of the ninjas, the damage to the village was irreparable.

Leaving aside the land that left a huge pit and the burned trees, let's talk about the Anbe members who were injured in the explosion.Some of them were too close to the explosion site and were seriously injured. Even if they were rescued, they would probably only be able to live as ordinary people.

These were taken as contempt and provocation to Konoha.As the culprit, Orochimaru naturally cannot escape being held accountable.

Led by the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, he led the Third Hokage and the elders to interrogate Orochimaru.

"Oshemaru, according to the evidence collected by Anbu. There is a huge laboratory underground there. What are you researching in it?" Mito Menyan stared at Orochimaru and asked him seriously.

Orochimaru showed a smile that was not a smile, but did not answer immediately.

"Please answer the question!" Someone in the elders group spoke again.

This time Orochimaru finally responded.However, what he said next made the elders who heard them wish they had never been here before, nor did they ask the question just now.

Too bad we can't turn back time.

Orochimaru raised his head and looked around at the fourth and third Hokage, who had been silent since the beginning, and looked at the elders who were eager to get information from him, and then immediately decided to solve the matter.

He showed a malicious smile: "That's a laboratory. There are many research subjects, and I think some of you should know about it."

"I'm also serving you." Orochimaru's vertical pupils flashed.

As soon as he said this, the whole room fell silent.The oppressive atmosphere made it hard for everyone present to speak out.

The last three generations of Hokage hoarse their throats and asked: "What is the cause of the explosion! Why did such a serious explosion happen! Don't avoid key issues!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was calm at first, but the more he spoke, the more harsh his words became.

This is probably a teacher's "deep love and deep hatred" for his students.

Facing the teacher's question, Orochimaru was silent for a while.At this time, his expression finally became serious.

Seeing Orochimaru's expression, Sandai Hokage and most of them were overjoyed. They thought that Orochimaru was finally honest, but in the end they could only end in disappointment.

Sure enough, Orochimaru didn't intend to cooperate with the third Hokage and the elders in this way: "I don't know the cause of the explosion. You can go there and investigate by yourself."

He shrugged with a smile, and looked at Namikaze Minato, who had been silent from the beginning, for a while from the corner of his eye.

At this time, Orochimaru said another sentence that seemed to be completely irrelevant to the meeting: "I thought Anbu was in charge of Minato."

He tilted his head, his eyes were very innocent: "But it seems that their Dao is still in the hands of you, Teacher, and the elders?"

Minato suddenly felt eyes focused on him from all directions.But he didn't feel anxious or flustered.Instead, Minato smiled very gracefully: "Thank you, Mr. Orochimaru, for your concern. But this issue has nothing to do with this sentencing meeting."

"Minato, I'm complaining for you." Orochimaru also smiled.

Minato didn't answer immediately at this time.In the name of Fourth Hokage, he had Orochimaru detained, and then announced the time for the second sentencing meeting.

Just three days later.

Orochimaru was put in special handcuffs and taken away.

At this time, Minato also announced that the sentencing session was over.

The elders filed out, only Sandai and Minato remained in this small room.

"Minato." Sandai didn't know where to start.

Minato waited patiently.After a while he heard Hiruzaru Sarutobi say to him: "You are Konoha's shadow, the one I personally chose."

"I entrusted you with the burden of protecting Konoha, but didn't give you complete rights. This is my fault." He apologized to Minato.

"From now on, the people in Anbu will only obey your orders." The third generation promised at the same time.

Minato smiled slightly: "Three generations, when I took over the post of Hokage, I set the construction of a better Konoha as my first goal. With all due respect, the existence of Anbu can help Hokage manage the village very well, but it is also easy to become the leader of the elders. Power in your hands."

"I will take over the management of the Anbu." He said, "But under my rule, the status of the elders and advisors will remain the same, but their right to interfere with the Anbu's operations will no longer exist. Your understanding."

Minato's words can be said to be very serious, but Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed.

He smiled very satisfied: "This is what it should be."

He took a fancy to Minato back then, not only because of Minato's prestige in the ninja war, but also because he saw light in this young man.

He firmly believes that Minato can change Konoha: change this corrupt political situation, change this decadent era.

"I saw the right person." The Third Hokage smiled gratifiedly.

Immediately afterwards, he also left the room, leaving only Minato staring at the place where Orochimaru was standing before.

Do the elders really not know about the existence of the laboratory?Not sure.

They just wanted to make sure that the explosion had nothing to do with them.That's why he was so eager.In fact, everything is only for myself.

Minato told himself: Don't worry, sooner or later these fundamentally corrupt politics will change in his hands.

Due to the complete transfer of Anbu's management power, Minato's workload has risen sharply.But despite this, his concern for Kushina and Taro has not diminished.

After returning from the laboratory that day, Minato and Taro had a long talk all night about natural teeth.

After confirming that the explosion caused by natural teeth was due to the improper experiment of Orochimaru, Minato was no longer worried.

Instead, he comforted Taro: "The laboratory has been severely damaged, and no one will see the clues. Just don't worry, Taro."

The white shiba puppy casually licked the fur of its front paws: "I've never been worried."

Minato reached out and rubbed Taro's head and said with a smile, "Of course I know how powerful Taro is. So the family and the masked man are temporarily entrusted to Taro."

The explosion of Orochimaru's laboratory raised questions not only about how to rebuild the disaster-stricken areas, but also many hidden secrets that caught people off guard.

For example, the Uchiha clan’s unique blood succession boundary—the research and transplantation report of Sharingan, why did it appear in the research notes of Orochimaru; another example, what agreement did Shimura Danzo, the leader of Gen, reach with Orochimaru? , Why did it appear in Orochimaru's secret diary.

Minato has no time to care about the masked man with these secrets that have been uncovered to a certain extent, but he can't really let go, so he can only ask Taro and Jiraiya.

But Zilai was also in a trance and unreliable all day after the explosion, so his family's Baichai puppies could be relied on.

Taro, who suddenly shouldered the burden of the whole family, has mixed feelings in his heart: he has become a "housekeeper" for human beings.

What's even weirder is that he actually thinks it's not bad?
