If possible, Nara Shikaku would like everyone to master the art of instant body movement and attack instantly. Or everyone can master Flying Thunder God and TP teleport on the spot.

“Can……”

Minato Namikaze subconsciously prepared to nod in agreement.

Nara Shikaku’s answer was completely from a rational perspective, and no one could find fault with it.

Is it true that Nara Shikaku has no thoughts of his own at all?

Not entirely true.

Nara Shikaku raised his head and looked at the portraits of the Second and Third Hokage hanging in the Hokage’s office.

He is a staunch Hokage and understands the importance of balancing the power of the various factions in the village.

Because of their bloodline limits, individuals of the Uchiha clan are inherently a level stronger than ordinary ninjas.

As a group, at the moment when the Senju disappeared, the Uchiha clan had already overshadowed the Hyuga clan. After the Fourth Hokage and the Gojo Advisor came to power, the Uchiha clan had become the most powerful ninja clan in Konoha.

Especially some time ago, for some reason, the number of young people in the Uchiha clan who opened their eyes increased significantly. There were even rumors that the Uchiha clan would become great again and a second Uchiha Madara would be born.

Even if we put aside the prejudice against the Uchiha clan, it is not a good thing for a ninja clan to dominate the village.

The current Uchiha leader has a moderate policy and is actively integrating with Konoha. But who can guarantee that the future Uchiha leader will be the same?

The Uchiha clan is already very powerful as ninjas. If they gain enough prestige in the war, after a generation passes away, won’t the possibility of a village change in the future increase greatly?

The Kirigakure next door was the best example for Nara Shikaku. The possibility of a ninja clan or an individual being above a village or a shadow must be nipped in the bud.

The second generation, third generation and Danzo once suppressed the Uchiha clan one after another, and Nara Shikaku was happy to be a neutral party.

Now that their ancestors have fallen, the baton of balance has fallen into the hands of Nara Shikaku.

There was nothing wrong with him nominating Orochimaru to be the commander of this blitzkrieg force.

Perhaps Uchiha Fugaku’s power is enough, but his prestige and qualifications are not as good as those of the Three Ninjas, Orochimaru. Moreover, he is also the Minister of Police, and is responsible for the law and security of Konoha, so it is not easy for him to be sent out.

The Konoha Police Department is both a power given to the Uchiha and a cage.

Before he could finish his words, Namikaze Minato suddenly remembered the four lucky bags that Gojo Kegetsu left for him when he escaped into the safe house he had arranged.

It is said that in order to prevent someone from tracking Minato and finding his safe house, he had to adopt this delayed communication method.

It is claimed that it is only opened when one is undecided about making an important decision.

Thinking of this, Minato shook his head with a smile.

“You really have it all planned out. You can already guess what difficult choices I will face even though I am already outside the vortex.”

“Let’s put aside the question of who will be the commander for now. Nara-senpai, please step aside for a moment. I will give you a definite answer in ten minutes.”

“Ah… yes, Hokage-sama.”

Nara Shikaku stepped back and gave the space in the Hokage’s office to Namikaze Minato.

This gave me time to take a sneak peek at the secret bag.

Minato felt a little guilty. As a Hokage, he still had a long way to go and a lot of knowledge to learn.

For a Hokage to peek at the treasure bag when making important decisions is as shameful as cheating in the Genin exam by peeking at other people’s answers.

I made a silent decision in my heart that when my child is born, I will raise him well and make sure he is not like his father who cheated on exams.

Soon, Minato opened the first treasure bag.

On the note inside, there were five large, scribbled characters: [Orochimaru will definitely rebel]

Minato’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Is this a topic that can be discussed?

Now, even though Minato had absolute trust in Gojo Kegetsu, he began to waver.

Senior Orochimaru is going to rebel against Konoha? Are you kidding me? What does this mean?

In terms of the merits of ninjas under the current Konoha military system, leaving aside the former Third Hokage, Orochimaru’s merits are even greater than Minato’s.

Completed a total of one hundred and eight S-level tasks.

This is all proof of his blood and sweat for Konoha!

Minato is the leader of Konoha, and Orochimaru is the real powerful general.

Konoha has land ninja troops, so Orochimaru is the commander of land ninjas. Konoha has sea ninja troops, so Orochimaru is the commander of sea ninjas. Konoha has air ninjas… so Orochimaru is the commander of all three armies.

At least in terms of seniority, except for Jiraiya who has left the village to travel around the ninja world, no one in Konoha today can compare to Orochimaru.

But now, the treasure bag left by Jie Yuejun said with certainty that Orochimaru would definitely rebel, without even a word of embellishment.

This made Minato Namikaze feel that the ninja world was too crazy.

Almost subconsciously, Minato opened the second treasure bag –

Volume 114: I have shed blood for Konoha, I have shed tears for Konoha!

Minato almost subconsciously opened the second treasure bag to find the answer to Orochimaru’s rebellion.

Gojo Jieyue was not the kind of person who was jealous of talented people and wanted to eliminate dissidents and engage in political struggles.

On this point, Minato Namikaze believed in his best friend.

The second tip –

[Kidnapping Konoha ninja, human experimentation, stealing the seal book]

[If he actively shows that he wants to be the commander-in-chief of the attack on the Yu-nin and Kusanagi, he must not be allowed to leave the village. Be sure to contact the Sandaime to clean up the mess personally, and don’t do it yourself.]

[Otherwise, it can be kept for observation]

“hiss–“

Minato gasped, his expression turning serious.

If what Jie Yuejun revealed is true…it would be really scary.

The “Wood Release Human Experiment” was personally led by the former Konoha high-level officials, but it kept failing, causing many Konoha ninjas to die in meaningless experiments. Therefore, the project was immediately terminated and listed as one of Konoha’s taboos.

The original intention of setting up this experiment was to better utilize the power of the tailed beasts, but after a large number of innocent Konoha ninjas were sacrificed, the Third Generation came to his senses and chose to stop it, and rejected Danzo’s idea of ​​continuing the experiment on young children.

But if it were just this, it would at most only punish Orochimaru, and there would be no need to fight him to death.

If you ask why, it’s because the Third Hokage and Danzo did it too!

The same thing is legal when it is officially supervised, but it is illegal and taboo when it is done privately!

The Book of Sealing was understandable, the rule was that the dead were alive, and with Orochimaru’s achievements, he should have a share in the Book of Sealing.

Even if the means used were stealing, Orochimaru could be forgiven because of his achievements and his relationship with the Sandaime.

But Orochimaru should never, ever kidnap Konoha ninjas for experiments.

This is an act that completely deviates from the “Will of Fire” and extends the evil hand to fellow villagers. What is the difference between this and enemies from other villages?

Minato considered himself to be a very tolerant Hokage, but he could not think of any way to excuse Orochimaru for doing such a thing.

After practicing ninjutsu for decades, he did not die at the hands of the enemy but died at the hands of his own hero. How ironic.

What a village can’t tolerate the most is a ninja who has no ties with the village.

He can even attack his colleagues. No matter how strong he is, how high his prestige is, or how outstanding his scientific research talent is, the village cannot tolerate such behavior.

But one day he suddenly had an idea to show off his experimental results in front of the village leaders who opposed his experiments, using the Hokage Building under his feet and even the entire village as the stage for the display.

Wood Release… is too dangerous.

The first generation who possessed him became the God of Ninja. No one knows what kind of changes will be brought to the ninja world once the Wood Release human experiment is successful.

For the sake of the village’s safety, Minato could not trust whether a dangerous person who kidnapped his colleagues for experiments was still loyal to Konoha.

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.

As long as there is a risk, it will happen!

Cold sweat gradually soaked Minato’s divine robe.

At this critical moment when Konoha was launching a special military operation and establishing a blitzkrieg force, this kind of thing was exposed…

Orochimaru has been bound to the village all this time. If he is appointed as the commander of the blitzkrieg force and takes this opportunity to leave the village, it is hard to say what he will do in order to defect. He might even kill his colleagues in the blitzkrieg force.

The commander-in-chief of Konoha’s three armed forces openly defected during a special military operation. If this matter were to spread, it would deal a devastating blow to Konoha’s dignity in the ninja world.

How likely is it that this will happen?

Before it was confirmed that Orochimaru had kidnapped his colleagues, the possibility was infinitely small. But after it was confirmed, the possibility would be infinitely magnified.

Because… Orochimaru must consider whether this will be his only chance to defect from Konoha in his lifetime!

That’s why the treasure bag has this sentence [Can be used in reverse]… As long as Orochimaru doesn’t think about escaping immediately, the rules and regulations of the village will always restrict him. Then you can contact the Third Hokage, slowly reduce Orochimaru’s prestige, and step by step reduce his influence to the freezing point before taking him down.

Namikaze Minato stared at the note in his hand in a daze, and couldn’t help but think of what Gojo Kegetsu said to him at the Monument to Heroes that day:

[The enemies hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity jump out one after another. These are impurities that cannot be found normally and have no suitable reason to be removed.]

Now, the werewolf jumped out on his own initiative.

After the seeds of suspicion were planted and the direction of the investigation was confirmed, these things could not be concealed.

Konoha is neither big nor small.

Even if we take into account the area of ​​the three security zones and the entire Konoha Forest, it’s still just a small area. And if we combine this with Orochimaru’s usual range of activities…

If we really want to investigate thoroughly, we will definitely not be able to conceal it.

It’s just a matter of whether or not this matter should be put on the scale.

“Want to get on the scale?”

“Here, right now!”

Minato’s eyes flashed with determination. To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation! Even if it was Senior Orochimaru who dared to destroy the prosperity of Konoha, as the Hokage, he would never show mercy!

Minato immediately used his guard summoning technique:

“Xuanjian, Leitong, Diewashi, come see me immediately!”

Only ten breaths of time.

Nara Shikaku, who was standing in front of the Hokage’s office and preparing to take out a cork leaf to smoke, looked at Shadow Guard F3 who walked in and out of the office with a serious face, with his hand hanging in the air as he was about to light a cigarette.

As a smart man, he keenly realized that something might have happened.

The ten-minute limit had not yet arrived, so he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and wait silently.

In the Hokage chair.

Minato rubbed his brows with a headache.

You will regret not having enough patience until you need it.

Because of Orochimaru’s prestige in Konoha, he has many followers in the Anbu.

If he rashly ordered the Anbu to investigate the matter, even if it was his own direct Anbu, there was no guarantee that the matter would not be leaked.

Minato had no choice but to let his shadow guards do it.

“Is it time to set up a unit dedicated to the active Hokage to separate from the Anbu?”

Anbu, after all, is Konoha’s Anbu.

The composition of the members is somewhat complex. Although they are generally loyal to Konoha, the priorities of their orders vary.

Some belong to the third generation, some obey Danzo, and some are sent by the big and small ninja clans into the Anbu to serve as their own spies… It’s too complicated.

“It would be nice if… the ANBU was made up of civilian ninjas like me, or pure people like Kaizuki-kun.”

Minato sighed, the idea of ​​establishing a dedicated team had to be put on hold for now, and he would have to work on it slowly. He could only use his relatively weak personal strength to solve important matters.

“I hope Xuanjian and the others can quickly find out the truth. The Sandaime also needs an explanation.”

After dealing with the most urgent matter, Minato slowly opened the third treasure bag.
