Chapter 156 Let's Become Hokage
"Danzo?"
Kakashi stared in astonishment, his eyes widening.
How could this be related to Danzo?
Wait a minute, given Danzo's personality, he might indeed be in cahoots with the Akatsuki and secretly collude with them.
"The original Akatsuki was an organization with a peaceful purpose, but Danzo and Hanzo conspired to set a trap and killed the leader of Akatsuki."
Minato said calmly, "This also caused the leader's companions to fall into paranoia, wanting to make all countries feel pain."
"————"
Kakashi was speechless for a moment.
Why is Danzo involved in all this mess?
"Teacher, could you—explain the Akatsuki organization in more detail?"
"Um"
Minato hesitated for a moment: "After all, I am not the Fourth Hokage of this world, so I really have no reason to help you. I only provided this information because you didn't let Naruto starve to death."
Kakashi: "————"
It's clear that this young teacher harbors a great deal of resentment towards Konoha.
However, he could understand that given Naruto's circumstances over the years, it would be strange if Minato didn't have a temper.
"I'm sorry, teacher, I—"
"I've already said, this has nothing to do with you."
Minato waved his hand, saying that although Kakashi hadn't taken care of Naruto either, this was indeed not his fault.
Firstly, not just anyone can come into contact with a Jinchūriki.
Secondly, Kakashi's condition is also really worrying. Every night when he closes his eyes, he sees Rin's appearance before she died, and when he opens his eyes, he washes his hands. He has typical symptoms of PTSD. It's a wonder he hasn't committed suicide.
"The Akatsuki's ultimate goal concerns the survival of the entire ninja world, so information about them is naturally very important—"
Minato held up two fingers: "These two pieces of information are worth more than all the bread and milk Naruto has eaten over the years."
Menkashi was speechless for a moment. After bowing politely, he quickly retreated.
Minato remained calm and showed no anger at Konoha's attitude towards Naruto.
After all, he had watched Naruto, so he already had some expectations.
There's an interesting detail in the original work: before Hiruzen Sarutobi died, everyone who saw Konohamaru would politely call him "Young Master Konohamaru".
When Hiruzen Sarutobi died and the ninjas were moving the Third Hokage's belongings out, Konohamaru threw a tantrum, but no one paid him any attention, and no one called him "Young Master" anymore.
Besides the fact that Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, she also has the added advantage of being the founder of Konoha.
For everyone else, whether it was Konohamaru or Naruto, after the deaths of the Third and Fourth Hokage, the bonds of affection between their fathers disappeared.
Only Mikoto, because of Kushina, made a special trip to see Naruto, standing outside the door grieving for Kushina, despite her complicated identity as a member of the Uchiha clan.
It's said that once someone leaves, the tea cools; Minato certainly understands this principle.
But the tea in the ninja world cooled down far too quickly, leaving people feeling disheartened.
This is also why he never felt a sense of belonging to Konoha from the very beginning.
Aside from Tsunade, Kushina, Mikoto, and his brother-in-law Nawaki, whom he grew up with, he didn't care about anyone else in Konoha.
This applies to Konoha, where he lived, let alone Konoha in this parallel world.
Although Minato had no intention of being an enemy, he made no secret of his dislike for this world.
After a while, Kakashi returned.
"Master, the Third Hokage asked me to tell you that Minato-sensei's former residence has not been properly maintained and has been regularly cleaned. The original plan was to return it to Naruto along with the Fourth Hokage's pension and other inheritance after Naruto came of age—"
Shuimen gently waved his hand.
After adulthood—
By the time Naruto comes of age, Konoha will have been razed by Pain!
Minato didn't think Hiruzen Sarutobi would be greedy for such a small amount.
There are related conspiracy theories in the past life, but they are somewhat awkward and unfounded.
In Konoha, anyone who wants to acquire land has to get approval from the Hokage's office. With Yamato around, Hiruzen Sarutobi could get a plot of land approved in the morning and move into a luxurious, fully-furnished mansion by evening. Why would he need to resort to such underhanded methods?
The old man may be a bit of a brooding person, but his teaching methods for Asuma and Konohamaru are impeccable.
Even after being resurrected by Orochimaru, he still took the blame for Danzo.
According to Minato's previous life, since the Third Hokage died to protect the village, it can only mean that his problem stemmed from a failure of methodology, not a mistake in values.
This is also the mainstream opinion about him online: he's just bad, not terrible.
But Minato was dissatisfied with Naruto's actions only in this matter.
The Naruto in this world is, after all, not his real child.
If this were in his world, and he found out that his child was living like this, every single one of the Konoha's high-ranking officials would die!
"I will be leaving in a while."
Minato waved his hand: "Before I leave, I will teach Naruto the Flying Thunder God Technique and tell those old geezers to watch themselves."
Kakashi hesitated, then asked, "Then—information about the Akatsuki—"
"Don't worry, they won't call right away. I'll organize it tonight and give it to you before I leave."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher."
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike the fourth generation, the person in front of me, although not very old, has the air of someone who has long held a high position.
He felt quite pressured dealing with this young teacher.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed quietly.
Naruto finally mastered the Rasengan thanks to his experience with Shadow Clones.
Looking at the azure blue dumpling in his hand, Naruto's eyes were filled with undisguised joy.
"It's a success!"
"Well done."
Minato patted Naruto on the shoulder, a hint of relief in his eyes.
As expected, Naruto's training talent was not bad even without the influence of the Nine-Tails' chakra.
"Next, I will teach you one last ninjutsu."
Minato said gently, "Then I should leave too."
"leave?"
Naruto froze for a moment, then a hint of reluctance appeared in his eyes: "Are we leaving so soon?"
"Of course, Kushina is still waiting for me."
Minato ruffled Naruto's hair: "The next technique is the Fourth Hokage's signature ninjutsu in this world. I hope you can inherit your father's name as the Yellow Flash."
"Um!"
Naruto nodded emphatically.
The training of Flying Thunder God is not actually that difficult; it can essentially be seen as a form of self-spiritual communication.
The biggest challenge in this technique lies primarily in talent.
However, Minato is certain that Naruto possesses this talent.
Firstly, Naruto possesses the Uzumaki bloodline, so his sensory abilities are quite good.
Secondly, Naruto has very strong reflexes, but he is used to using shadow clones and has not developed his own fighting instincts.
Then there's the Flying Thunder God Seal, which requires precise and rapid chakra control. Naruto can learn the Rasengan, so he can master it with a little practice.
When the training method for the Flying Thunder God Technique was explained to Naruto, Naruto was completely confused.
"Simply put, after leaving a mark, I can teleport to the marked location from anywhere else, right?"
"That's right." Minato nodded.
"What if we fail?"
Naruto asked somewhat anxiously, "What if it spreads to other places?"
"Of course not."
Minato chuckled: "It's similar to a summoning jutsu. You can only teleport to the marked location. Furthermore, if the jutsu fails, you'll just stay in the same spot, just like a summoning jutsu."
Before he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, he also had this concern. In his previous life, there were also articles online saying that failing the Flying Thunder God Technique might result in being cut apart by space or something.
However, after learning it, I found that this is not the case at all. Space does have a strong ability to divide, but the principles of Flying Thunder God and Kamui are different.
Kamui distorts space, forcibly tearing apart the barrier between two spaces, which is indeed risky.
However, Flying Thunder God is a spatial jump, essentially skipping spatial obstacles, which is different from Kamui. There is no risk of being blocked, otherwise Tobirama Senju would be the first one to be blocked.
"However—there is a possibility that someone might teleport there and leave their clothes behind."
Naruto:
That sounds a bit unconventional.
Minato taught Naruto the training method, and the two trained until sunset, but Naruto still couldn't successfully mark the Flying Thunder God seal. Minato didn't have any good solutions for this.
As mentioned before, the Rasengan is a complex mental arithmetic exercise with a simple principle.
The Flying Thunder God Technique involves complex formula derivations, which are beyond Naruto's level.
Minato originally intended to wait until Naruto mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique before leaving, but judging from Naruto's appearance, it seemed he would need to learn it for some time.
sieve--
Kakashi appeared beside the two: "Sensei, I'll take you—home."
"go home?"
Naruto tilted his head: "Do we even need to bring this?"
"It's a house passed down through four generations of a couple. Would you like to go take a look?"
Minato patted Naruto on the shoulder. Naruto was slightly taken aback, then suddenly became excited.
"Um!"
The three arrived at a slope not far from Shadow Rock. Looking at the familiar building in front of them, Minato's lips curled up slightly.
He suddenly pulled out a key and opened the door.
Then he turned and laughed, "It seems the locks in both worlds are the same."
Naruto peeked into the room, circled around a couple of times, and then his gaze fell on a photo album.
He pursed his lips, took two steps forward, and opened the photo album.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar young couple in the photo album, Naruto's eyes reddened slightly.
"From now on, you'll live here. This is your home."
Shuimen looked around the room and could tell that it had been well maintained, but it hadn't been lived in for a long time and looked a bit old.
Seeing Naruto staring intently at the photo album, Minato didn't disturb him and turned to walk into the study.
After writing down the information about the Akatsuki organization, Minato stretched and looked out the window where the bright moon was already high in the sky.
"Minato, are you hungry? What are we having for dinner?"
Naruto's voice came from the hallway. He pushed open the door to the study and saw Minato looking out the window. He instinctively lowered his voice: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking—I don't like this world."
Minato sorted out his thoughts: "If it weren't for me being the variable, this would be the future of my world, and I don't want to accept that future."
"I used to think that I could stay out of things that didn't concern me, and that with my strength I could be fearless of any threat. But I've long known that this world isn't one where you can just play the game because you're powerful."
"So after I go back this time, I plan to do something."
Naruto looked completely bewildered: "What—?"
Minato thought for a moment: "I'll become—Hokage!"
