Unlimited Naruto

Platycodon Mountain.

Late at night, Zhen, Minato and the others made it back successfully.

Minato couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw the safe camp. What he was most worried about was that they would be attacked by the enemy on the day they left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others were also waiting for their return all night.

"Kirigakure has agreed to send troops!" Minato directly said the answer everyone expected.

Mito Kadoyan breathed a long sigh of relief and whispered softly: "In this way, Konoha's situation will be much better, and everything is going according to plan."

Minato heard this and asked, "Has the Suna ninja side also solved it?"

"Our reconnaissance team discovered today that the Suna Ninja have withdrawn their troops." Shikaku replied, but when he said this, he couldn't help but look at Shin.

The rest of the people were also indifferent, with heavy expressions on their faces, as if something bad had happened.

Minato looked at Shikaku's expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly: "The Sunagakure sent people to kill the daimyo of our country. I have sent a team to pursue them. With such a deep hatred, there will be no end to death between Konoha and Sunagakure!"

Minato and Fugaku froze on the spot at the same time.

Shikaku continued to add: "Countless people in the Fire King City saw with their own eyes that a puppet master broke into the Daiming Mansion and started killing people. All the twelve ninjas who protected the Daimyo were sacrificed."

Puppet master?

Minato's mind immediately thought of the red-haired boy who came to see Hinata not long ago, and his pupils dilated slightly.

A cruel strategy, is this what it turns out to be...

The Daimyo of the Country of Fire was killed by the puppet master, and the Daimyo of the Country of Wind will definitely be suspicious of Sunagakure Village.

Minato slowly raised his head and looked at the Sandaime Hokage. Seeing his expressionless face, he felt even colder inside.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again: "You have worked hard on this journey. Go back and rest first. Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja may launch an attack at any time. You must recharge your batteries and be ready for war at any time."

When everyone left with different thoughts, Minato stayed where he was.

"Hokage-sama, is this really your plan?"

"Konoha has reached a point of life and death." Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, "Minato, do you know what the consequences will be if we lose?"

"Do you know the consequences of subjugation of a country and annihilation of a species?"

These two short sentences left Minato speechless.

Ever since those future memories appeared, something had been lingering in his mind.

Why would my future self go on the road against the village? Would I really do something that would harm the village?

He was determined to lead the true path to the light correctly, but at this moment he suddenly discovered that he was the one who couldn't see the way forward!

"Minato, you and I still underestimated him." Sarutobi Hiruzen said again.

"A person's strength is not all based on his own strength. In the future, he will definitely become a leader, and more and more people will follow him. When this war is over, there will be many disharmonious voices in the village. This It will work against you.”

What he said was already very conservative. When Hinata really appears in the world's sight, the world may become chaotic because of him!

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared deeply at Minato: "You have to make a decision."

The two of them stood on the shoulder of the mountain, no one was around. Minato stared into the night and said: "Hokage-sama, haven't I made a decision long ago..."

The Sandaime Hokage had said this before when they imprisoned Hinata Shin, and he also gave the answer at that time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "Minato, I know you want to treat every companion in the village equally, but you have also witnessed his cruelty and ruthlessness. The ethical rules of the world cannot restrain him at all. How do you still feel about such a person?" Can I change his mind?"

"But...he hasn't done anything to harm the village yet. Instead, he has helped the village tide over the difficulties."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes darkened slightly and he asked, "Minato, is it possible that you really want him to rise to power?"

Minato was distracted for a moment. He wanted to say something like "If he is really better than me, it would be a good idea to let him be the Hokage." But when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, he thought of Shikaku and Kushina again. The words were swallowed back by himself.

By now, whether he wants to be Hokage or not is not just his personal business. Saying such words will undoubtedly only hurt other people's hearts.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was cold: "Minato, he is an alien. As long as there is no him, Konoha will still be Konoha, a Konoha that you can manage and protect with all your heart."

"But now, all you need to know is that in the battle for power, it's either me or the enemy!"

Power...power...

Because of power, one has to make various compromises and give oneself the name of the village.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, agreed to Hinata Mana's cruel plan.

But what is the duty of a ninja?

Maybe he, the Third Hokage, had long forgotten.

But Minato feels that at least he shouldn't be like this. Is it possible that he will still take the same path in the future?

If a person loses his inner perseverance and sinks into the nightmare of power, wouldn't he become an empty shell?

Minato looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he suddenly felt that the Hokage had become strange and scary. This Hokage may have felt that he was right from beginning to end, and still firmly believed that he was practicing the will of fire!

He took a deep breath and said, "Lord Hokage, please trust me."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen silently looked away from him.

Minato is still a perfect person, he is like a sun, giving warmth to those around him.

"I understand... Minato, I have always believed in you." The Sandaime Hokage said slowly.

Minato immediately bowed deeply to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Thank you."

"You go back and rest." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"By the way...Kushina, I also hope you can have a good talk with her."

Minato paused, lowered his head and said, "I understand."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Minato's leaving figure and stood motionless. The wind in the mountains rose again, blowing away some of the fog.

But the gloomy night was still hazy.

There must always be someone who becomes a shadow to drive away those ghosts and dirt.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also had such a shadow before, but perhaps it was because that shadow had accumulated too much unhappiness and degenerated into a true darkness.

He had to give it up, and now he had to do a lot of things himself.

This dark and decaying place can indeed make people confused and confused, and they can gradually lose sight of themselves.

But it doesn’t matter anymore. We’ve already done so much anyway, so why not do everything thoroughly?

When Minato becomes Hokage, he will still be supported and admired by thousands of people. He will stand on top of the Hokage Building bathed in light and swear that the Will of Fire will continue to be passed on.

Just like myself back then.
