After that, Hyuga Hoshino returned to Konoha, and Black Zetsu hid in the darkness. Black Zetsu needed to calm down and sort out his thoughts.
Hinata Hoshino was paying attention to Black Zetsu, oops, another one was broken.
"Princess Kaguya descended from heaven and gave birth to Chenxiang and Chozumi..."
Hinata Hoshino hummed a song of unknown meaning and walked back to the village following Doflamingo's steps.
On the way, I met Tsunade and Jiraiya, "Hey, you lecherous sage, this is, too much, it will hurt your body."
"You kid, can't you say something nice and have a healthier mindset?"
Tsunade's thoughts were disrupted. She strangled Hinata Hoshino's neck and shook him fiercely twice. Feeling the brain pad waves, Hinata Hoshino said that it was a civilized way to watch the game.
Hinata Hoshino was very excited before. Originally, the plan was to arouse their suspicion about the fake Uchiha Madara, but unexpectedly, they now believe it without a doubt.
I guess they will still have doubts when the real Uchiha Madara appears later.
Mei Terumi: Young handsome guy, who are you?
Uchiha Madara: This old man is Uchiha Madara.
Tsunade: Pictures speak louder than words.
Forget it, let’s not think about it. Hinata Hoshino is just a fun guy, so who cares?
Hinata Hoshino carried Tsunade on his back and ran all the way under Jiraiya's envious gaze.
Sarutobi Hiruzen who was waiting at the gate: Just now, something passed by, it turned out to be Hinata Hoshino carrying Tsunade, then, it's okay.
Jiraiya limped into Konoha. Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Jiraiya and went to meet him.
Taking Jiraiya with him, he used the instant body movement technique all the way to the Hokage Building.
Hinata Hoshino carries Tsunade, Namikaze Minato takes his wife and daughter home, only Sarutobi Hiruzen still doesn't know what happened?
Jiraiya sat in Sarutobi Hiruzen's office chair, slumped over, and weakly narrated the scene of his previous battle with Uchiha Madara.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, smoking his pipe, remained silent for a long time. Uchiha Madara's body was collected by the Uchiha clan, and the high-ranking officials had no idea about the situation of Uchiha Madara's body.
I must go and confirm it tomorrow. Also, how did Uchiha Madara successfully replicate the Wood Release?
To fight with the Shodaime-sama, even if Uchiha Madara survived, he would not be able to obtain the most advanced equipment and enough test subjects.
On the other hand, in Konoha, starting with the second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, he started the experiment of Hashirama's cell transplantation. The sudden deaths of several people forced him to stop the experiment.
After Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo became senior executives, they restarted the experiment, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was almost scared off by the high failure rate.
Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled the terrifying fighting power of the Shodaime, and secretly allowed Danzo Shimura to continue the experiment.
Over the years, the funds invested in the experiment have been increasing, but the success rate has always been zero. Sarutobi Hiruzen does not know yet that Orochimaru successfully cultivated "Armor", who is the future Yamato.
Orochimaru didn't say anything, and Danzo Shimura wanted to sleep, and as a result, only Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared in the world who was kept in the dark.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was enveloped in thick smoke, and his heart was like a raging storm. Uchiha Madara's strength was much lower than the previous record. Sarutobi Hiruzen could understand that it was normal for his strength to decline as he got older.
But, is he really Uchiha Madara himself?
If the first and second generations were here, they would definitely be able to tell the real from the fake.
Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered that the forbidden technique of Senju Tobirama, Impure World Reincarnation, could recall the dead. It was a good idea if Sarutobi Hiruzen really performed the Impure World Reincarnation.
Hinata Hoshino welcomed it with open arms. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who always cherished his reputation, actually wanted to desecrate the dead. This was huge news.
After much deliberation, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to give up the Impure World Reincarnation and go to verify Uchiha Madara's body tomorrow.
Jiraiya stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was shrouded in smoke, and felt that he was old and powerless.
The master and the disciple fell into a silent atmosphere.
"Old man, I'm leaving first."
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not respond, and Jiraiya, who had recovered some chakra, left through the window.
"Jiraiya, you haven't changed at all."
Sarutobi Hiruzen turned off the lights and left the Hokage building, feeling a little confused. His wife Sarutobi Biwako passed away, Sarutobi Asuma was in a bad mood, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke was on a mission.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked. When did he become a lonely man? As he walked along, he looked up and found that it was the Namikaze Minato family.
I knocked on the door with the intention of doing so, but my raised hand fell back. Recalling my previous thoughts, I felt filled with guilt.
Minato Namikaze sensed Sarutobi Hiruzen approaching, but did not open the door. Instead, he reviewed what happened that night and could not sleep.
Many senior executives knew Uzumaki Kushina's due date, but only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo knew the specific address in advance. Sarutobi Biwako, the attending physician, did not know it until that day.
Therefore, the person who leaked the location could only be one of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.
The worldview that Minato Namikaze built according to the will of fire preached by Sarutobi Hiruzen has somewhat collapsed.
Why were they the only ones who burned and sacrificed themselves for the village? How long had it been since the other three, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had been on the battlefield?
Why did the village's funds show signs of being misappropriated? Why did the Uchiha clan sacrifice more than other ninja clans?
Let’s take a look at the extremely low casualty rates of the four clans: Sarutobi, Shimura, Mitomon and Utane.
Chapter 61 Hinata Hoshino's Support
It is obvious that the Will of Fire has been tampered with. Minato Namikaze has a dream. There is nothing wrong with the Will of Fire. The wrong thing is the people who promote it but are unwilling to abide by it.
Namikaze Minato decided to start making changes. The Sarutobi clans should not expand any further, the misappropriated public funds must be recovered, and the Uchiha and other ninja clans should be treated well.
Minato Namikaze looked at Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Naruto and smiled gently. From today on, he was still Minato Namikaze, but the sunshine should shine on the entire Konoha, even in the dark places.
Minato Namikaze looked at the Hokage Rock, having not slept all night. The sun rose, and the bright yellow sunlight fell on Minato Namikaze. He pulled the divine robe over and put it on.
Flying Thunder God was activated, and Namikaze Minato had already arrived at the Hokage's office, "Notify the Sandaime and the four advisors, the civilian ninja representatives, and the heads of the various clans to come here."
With a bright smile on her face, her tone was extremely cold, which made the Anbu ninja in the dark feel a chill in their hearts and feel that something big was going to happen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and his four companions, clan leaders of various tribes, and civilian ninja representatives all came forward.
Namikaze Minato stood in the main seat, followed by two secondary seats. Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on the right hand side of Namikaze Minato, Shimura Danzo habitually moved to the left hand position, and Hinata Hoshino took the position in advance.
Hinata Hoshino showed his big teeth and showed a brilliant smile to Shimura Danzo.
Danzo Shimura snorted coldly and stood silently at the end. After watching the show, Koharu Tsunemura and Enmi Mitokado stepped back a few steps and stood behind the Ino-Shika-Chou family.
Danzo Shimura and the other two are only Hokage advisors to Sarutobi Hiruzen. The current Hokage is Minato Namikaze.
Although they still control the three powerful departments of logistics, medical care and Root, it is reasonable for Minato Namikaze to take back their authority.
Utane Koharu and Mitomon En are now representing their respective families. In name, the Utane and Mitomon families are just civilian families, and their status is far behind medium-sized families such as the Ino-Shika-Chou families.
It is definitely not wrong to be low-key. Shimura Danzo felt embarrassed and simply stayed away from Minato Namikaze.
Everyone was present, and Minato Namikaze took a look around and found no one absent.
"Last night, a mysterious man with the Sharingan appeared and attacked my wife, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Kushina."
"If it weren't for Consultant Hyuga Hoshino arriving in time, I'm afraid my wife and I would have passed away."
Several clan leaders looked at Hyuga Hiashi with envy. The fact that the Hyuga main family had an advisory elder was already the envy of other clans, especially the Uchiha clan.
Now, with the certification of Namikaze Minato, Hyuga Hoshino’s strength has definitely reached the level of Kage, which means that he is going to be the next Senju Hashirama.
Hinata Hiashi was proud of it, but he still looked calm and maintained his aristocratic demeanor.
The moment Uchiha Fugaku heard about the Sharingan, his expression immediately became unnatural. He had not yet recovered from the shock of seeing Uchiha Madara last night, and another big pot fell, making Uchiha Fugaku very depressed.
"Evil Uchiha."
Danzo Shimura cursed inwardly. Except for Uchiha Fugaku, the others had subtle expressions. Since they were able to appear here, they must be quite powerful, so they could naturally hear it.
"Shameless old thief."
Hinata Hoshino whispered, and the faces of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other three changed at the same time, especially Shimura Danzo. When had he ever been insulted like this and couldn't even fight back?
Hinata Hiashi looked a little embarrassed. He looked carefully at Sarutobi Hiruzen and was relieved to find that he didn't notice him.
The other clan leaders were all trying to hold back their laughter. How many people had Shimura Danzo poached from them over the years? Shimura Danzo didn't care. They knew everything.
Minato Namikaze did not care about this farce, or rather, he deliberately indulged himself in it. Sarutobi Hiruzen keenly noticed that Minato Namikaze was abnormal today.
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly missed his pipe very much. Namikaze Minato had already recounted in detail everything that happened yesterday.
"Minato, are you saying that the mysterious man you met yesterday called himself Uchiha Madara?"
"Yes, Sandaime, he calls himself Uchiha Madara, and he has mastered space-time ninjutsu."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, not because of the other Uchiha Madara, but because Namikaze Minato no longer called him "Sandaime-sama".
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly, feeling bitter in his heart. He glanced at Shimura Danzo and said, "I hope it wasn't you who leaked the secret, old friend."
"The Sannin also encountered Uchiha Madara last night. From his appearance to his behavior, he was very similar to the records that have been preserved. Moreover, he not only used the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan's eye technique, Susanoo, but also displayed Wood Release."
There was an uproar. Uchiha Fugaku stroked his eyes. With the power of his Mangekyō, he could not support the long-term use of Susanoo. It was true that Uchiha Madara had the Eternal Eyes of a higher level.
Shimura Danzo clenched his right hand under the seal. Why? Over the years, he had embezzled the village funds to purchase many advanced instruments and captured many test subjects for Orochimaru.
So far, there is only a half-finished product of the Wood Release experiment. Although he relied on the Sharingan to suppress Hashirama's cells and successfully transplanted them into himself, half of his body has been alienated, and he has not been to the toilet for a long time.
"As far as I know, only a few of us in the upper echelons know where Uzumaki Kushina was born. The only ones who knew about it in advance were the Sandaime-sama and the Hokage assistant."
After Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen finished sharing, Hinata Hoshino and Namikaze Minato looked at each other and took the initiative to take over the conversation.
It's not easy for Minato Namikaze to take the initiative to attack, so he will do it.
Several clan leaders and civilian representatives present had not yet recovered from the previous information bombardment, and were shocked and confused by the topic raised by Hinata Hoshino.
It's not that they didn't have any guesses, but no one dared to raise them. Now that Hinata Hoshino has brought the issue to light, the situation may get out of control.
"So, the person who leaked the information was the Sandaime or the Assistant Hokage."
Danzo Shimura felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone. Normally when he was in the Root, his subordinates hardly dared to look at him. It had been a long time since he felt the center of attention like this.
"Danzo, it's really you!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's righteousness and disbelief made Danzo's expression freeze. It was still the same. Many years ago, he was so hypocritical in front of the second generation, and he is still the same now.
"It's me, so what? It's not me, so what?"
"Danzo, you disappoint me so much. Come, arrest Danzo Shimura, remove him from all his positions, and disband the Root on the spot."
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to make a small matter out of a big one and spare Shimura Danzo's life. According to the crime of leaking information, Shimura Danzo could not escape death.
Minato Namikaze looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's farcical way of handling the situation and sighed. He was the Hokage, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was overstepping his authority.
