This appearance of Minato Namikaze coincides with the image imagined by all the Konoha ninjas.

he,

Namikaze Minato,

He is the one who can lead Konoha back to glory!

"The one who beheaded the Sandaime Raikage, Lord Namikaze Minato!"

Then, the Konoha ninjas came to their senses, cheering with their arms raised and their expressions extremely excited, because they witnessed the birth of a great ninja!

Maybe this great ninja is an enemy of the Hidden Cloud Village, but to Konoha, he is a well-deserved hero!

His enemy is my hero. The world has always been like this.

"Chase!"

"Leave them completely on this battlefield!"

"Hit them until they are scared, hit them until they feel pain, and beat them down!"

"It will be impossible for the Hidden Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning to have the courage to face Konoha and the Land of Fire in 30 years!"

Minato Namikaze held the head of the Sandaime Raikage in his hand, spoke in a deep and powerful voice, waved his hand forward, and issued a new round of orders to the ninjas of Konoha.

"Teacher, please take this."

Seeing a group of Konoha ninjas chasing after them, Namikaze Minato sealed the Sandaime Raikage's head into a sealing scroll and then handed it to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya took it and after looking at Minato Namikaze deeply, he patted his shoulder.

"You have completely grown up, and I... have also grown old..."

Jiraiya felt somewhat relieved and somewhat lonely at this moment. He was in a very complicated mood. After saying a few words, he turned and left. He did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of the retreating Kumogakure ninja army.

Minato Namikaze was also stunned for a moment, but then he calmed down, slapped the Flying Thunder God Seal on his waist, turned around and followed the Konoha ninja troops.

Even if the Cloud Ninja Army was defeated, its number was several times that of the Konoha Ninja Army, and the encirclement and suppression battle still required the final blow from Minato Namikaze.

At the same time, Hatake Akira, who was far away in Konoha, also received news from Namikaze Minato.

Chapter 164 A sudden change occurs!

Outside Konoha Village,

In a sparsely populated jungle.

"Master's wife, it's done!"

"Oh……"

After landing, Uzumaki Kushina was still a little unsatisfied, "It's over so soon?"

"The master informed me that it is almost settled."

"Ming, are you saying that... the war on the front line... has been won?" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked, but his words were filled with disbelief.

"Yes, Sandaime-sama Hokage."

Hatake Akira nodded and then offered some flattery.

"It's all thanks to your support, otherwise the progress on the front line wouldn't be so fast." At the same time, he didn't forget Uzumaki Kushina, "And the same goes for Master's Wife. Without the Tailed Beast Ball and Tailed Beast Chakra, Minato-sensei wouldn't be able to be so powerful."

"Of course!"

Uzumaki Kushina spoke briskly, with an expression of joy immediately on her face, "Don't you see who I am? I am Uzumaki Kushina!"

After a round of business flattery, Hatake Akira had no intention of continuing to argue and he hurried back to the battlefield.

It can be predicted that once the Tailed Beast Ball long-range attack tactics take effect, the defeat of the Cloud Village will be inevitable.

Everyone is willing to take part in giving a drowning dog a beating, and Hatake Akira is no exception.

Also, you must take advantage of this opportunity to deal more damage so that you can use the Book of Gods to convert a large amount of life energy. You won't have such a good opportunity in the future.

Hatake Akira must take advantage of the Third Great Ninja War to accumulate enough capital to deal with many future changes.

But just when Hatake Akira said goodbye and was about to leave, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly called Hatake Akira.

"Ming, there is Jiraiya on the front line and he is fighting with Minato, and the defeated ninja troops of Yunyin Village can't make a big wave." Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled and looked at Akira Hatake, "It's better to send Kushina with me Back to the village, what do you think?"

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen like this, Hatake Akira knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen had other plans in mind.

But since he said so, it would be difficult for Hatake Akira to refuse openly.

And just as Sarutobi Hiruzen said, the ninja troops from the Hidden Cloud Village on the northeastern front of Konoha are indeed unable to make any waves.

If that's the case, we might as well take a look at what Sarutobi Hiruzen is up to.

"Sandaime-sama is right, and I just consumed a lot of chakra, so I can take this opportunity to recover."

Akira Hatake nodded with a smile, and also found a perfect reason.

"Haha, let's go back to the village together. I have something to talk to you about."

Old fox...

Hatake Akira complained in his heart, then followed Sarutobi Hiruzen and walked side by side with Uzumaki Kushina, and the three of them slowly walked towards Konoha.

……

"That was just now..."

"The Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina, and the other brat...if I'm not mistaken, it should be Hatake Akira, one of the Konoha Twins."

"Hatake Akira? Shouldn't he be on the battlefield where the Fire Nation is fighting the Lightning Nation?"

"I don't know, but it won't affect our mission."

"Well, let's stop discussing this. Let's quickly sneak into the vicinity of the Hidden Leaf Village. There are spies in the village to pick us up!"

Not long after Hatake Akira and the other two left, several members of the Iwagakure village poked their heads out from underground not far from where they were just now.

The art of earth escape and rock hiding.

This is an earth-style ninjutsu similar to White Zetsu's Mayfly Technique. It allows the caster to sneak underground, hiding his tracks and approaching the target silently.

The Earthquake Core Team of the Iwagakure Village used this ninjutsu to safely avoid the many guards and secret sentries outside the Konoha Village.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the spies of Yanyin Village in Muye Village.

The intelligence provided by the spy to the Cloud Ninjas included a detailed record of the deployment of the sentry posts outside the Konoha Village, and even guaranteed that they could cooperate with the Earthquake Core Team.

Using the Earth Release and Rock Hidden Technique again, the Earthquake Core Team submerged themselves into the earth again and headed towards Konoha Village in a very covert manner.

Hatake Akira and the other two were not aware of this at all and continued walking towards the village.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Akira Hatake and others. After all, the number of perceptual ninjas is rare, and none of the three Akira Hatake is a perceptual ninja.

So, when the three returned to the village, they did not notice the Iwagakure Earthquake Core Team that was about to head towards Konoha Village.

After sending Uzumaki Kushina home, Hatake Akira followed the Sandaime Hokage into the Hokage Building.

Hokage's office,

After Sarutobi Hiruzen came back, he sat on the chair, took off the Hokage hat on his head and placed it on the table.

"Ming, actually I kept you here because I want to ask you some questions." After sitting down, Sarutobi Hiruzen went straight to the point.

"Three Hokage-sama, tell me."

"I want to know, what do you think of the Will of Fire?"

This is really the first time I have seen such a direct Sarutobi Hiruzen Hatake Akira, and this may also be the reason why Hatake Hiruza rarely communicates with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But no matter what, Sarutobi Hiruzen's question was obviously a test of Hatake Akira.

"As for the Will of Fire... I think it is an idea, an idea that unites everyone in Konoha." Hatake Akira answered without hesitation.

"Specifically?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up slightly, "Tell me in detail."

"I think there are three specific manifestations of the will of fire."

“The first is dedication.”

"Dedicate everything to a better tomorrow for the village."

"The second is inheritance."

"After the dedication of our predecessors, I, the younger generation, should inherit their dedication and persevere in carrying it out."

"The third is perfection."

"With the perseverance of our predecessors and our generation, many crises and shortcomings will be exposed. We should make up for them and make the village better and better under the illumination of the will of fire!"

Hatake Akira was very calm, and what he said was well-reasoned, logically self-consistent and interconnected. It was obvious that he had carefully studied "The Will of Fire" written by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was quite satisfied with what Hatake Akira had just said, and couldn't help but nodded with a smile.

"If everyone could be like you, Konoha would be completely covered by sunlight."

"Sander Hokage, is there darkness invading the village somewhere I'm not aware of?" Hatake Akira asked the question knowingly, which choked Sarutobi Hiruzen who was about to talk calmly.

Is this an answerable question?

He said that Danzo Shimura was the darkness that he supported?

how can that be!

"Ahem, not really." Sarutobi Hiruzen remained calm, "What I want to say is that as long as you are firm in your thoughts, the future of the village will surely be shrouded in light."

"I will, Sandaime-sama Hokage."

"Then what do you think of the ninja clans and civilian ninjas in the village?" Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised another fatal question.

To put it simply, the ninja clan and the common people are groups with different interests.

But in a broader sense, this is a conflict of interests between two classes.

Most of Konoha's elite education was monopolized by the ninjas of the Shinobi clan. Although commoners also had opportunities to come to the fore, there had only been three such people since the founding of Konoha: Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Minato Namikaze.

Moreover, the reason why these three people were able to come to the fore was also closely related to some ninjas in the ninja clan. This person is naturally the current Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
