22 Chapter 22

"The Flying Thunder God Technique was created by Second Hokage-sama. As far as I know, this technique was invented before the founding of Konoha."

"This is information about Uzumaki Sora for the past year. Third Hokage and respected advisors, you can take a look for yourself."

Namikaze said to Minato as he handed over the document in his hand and they couldn't wait to read it.

"This is the second person who can adapt to the speed of the Flying Thunder God after Minato. His reflexes have reached the limit of a ninja," the Third Hokage was slightly stunned.

"Capable of rising from the dead?!"

Immediately after this, the four of them exclaimed in surprise due to the next ability listed in the information.

Namikaze Minato nodded slightly: "The information confirms that Uzumaki Sora was killed, that is, after his heart was pierced or his head was cut off, after some time his corpse disappeared without a trace. However, when several days to half a month passed, Uzumaki Sora appeared again."

Danzo clutched the document tighter and tighter, no one would want to face an opponent who couldn't be killed.

Especially if this opponent, like the Fourth Hokage, masters space-time ninjutsu... Flying Thunder God Technique!

It seems that Uzumaki's conversation with the child at the entrance to the orphanage was a clear threat to himself and his Root.

"Hmm... The Fourth Hokage, and that's all?" Danzo said and looked at Namikaze Minato, assessing whether he could determine the enemy's position in advance and use the sealing technique at some cost.

"That's all for now. The other party seemed to have placed several Flying Thunder God marks in different places in the ninja world. The reconnaissance team is unsure of his whereabouts as he can come and go freely."

After Minato finished speaking, he put the document aside, then looked at Danzō and said, "The matter of Uzumaki Sora has been put on hold for now due to limited information, but now I want to receive a detailed report from Root regarding the orphanage, like the one just now." provided by me, the Hokage."

When the last part was played, silence reigned in the Hokage's office for a while.

But Minato didn't wait, "As Hokage, I gave clear consent to distribute funds for the orphanage at our meeting, why did Root threaten the money and the safety of the children to force Yakushi Nono to return to Root?"

"Not only her, but also the children in the orphanage, it seems like someone is very interested in them. What kind of experiment needs so many orphaned young children?"

"If such experiments become known to the villagers, I don't think anyone will agree..."

Minato said the last sentence to the Third Hokage.

Since Minato became Hokage, he has already formed his own views on this elder. They were very similar to what the black shadow or Uzumaki Sora said then. The old and corrupt Third Hokage already looks like a grandfather who has grown old and has difficulty making decisions on many issues.

"The Fourth Hokage must clearly understand what is happening in the Hidden Stone Village, and the reason for this incident must also be clear to you. As for the Uchiha clan, the Fourth Hokage always said there was a better way."

Danzo lowered his head and struck the ground with his cane twice: "Everything I do, I do for Konoha. If the Fourth Hokage does not agree with my method, then when Hidden Stone launches a large-scale operation, I hope that the Fourth Hokage can bear the burden of responsibility for it."

Namikaze Minato shook his head slightly, "Where the leaves fly, fire will burn. The shadow of the fire will illuminate the village, causing new leaves to sprout."

"The Will of Fire is the pillar of Konoha, and new leaves are still growing. There is no reason for Konoha to sacrifice the woman who is the director of the orphanage and the children in exchange for peace!"

"There is still a Third Hokage in Konoha, and I am the Fourth Hokage. There are also Anbu, Jonin, various clans and civilian ninjas with sufficient strength. If women and children are to be used in exchange for peace, then what is the point of us burning fires existing?"

The voice of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato echoed throughout the Hokage Building, and all the ninja present pondered this phrase with all their hearts.

And Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, who had just been standing at Danzo's side, moved his feet and stood next to Minato Namikaze.

"Danzo, if there is a next time, you will hand over all rights to control the Root."

The voice of the Third Hokage sounded, putting an end to the problem of the orphanage.

Namikaze Minato on the side did not dare to speak, but looking at the Third Hokage standing next to him, he realized the limit of how far he could go against Danzo.

Due to the Third Hokage's position, Koharu and Homura did not say a word, which is also Namikaze Minato's goal.

*Boom!*

The cane hit the floor hard and Danzo replied with a downcast face, "Hiruzen, you will regret this, everything I did was for Konoha."

Danzo turned around and left without showing any respect to Minato, followed by the two consultants.

*Boom!*

The office door closed, the Third Hokage turned his head and smiled guiltily at Minato Namikaze.

"Actually, Minato, you're right. The meaning of our existence, like burning fires, is to protect new leaves..."

"The First Hokage created Konoha so that children would not be forced to go to the battlefield, and there would be no more pain of loss. But Danzo... he is also for Konoha."

Minato nodded slightly, "Dear Third Hokage, the Root is known as the Darkness of Konoha, but what the Root was doing all this time was darkness itself!"

The Third Hokage smiled and, changing the subject, asked: "Did you ask Kushina about this Uzumaki?"

Minato replied, "I asked a long time ago. Kushina moved to the village at a very early age and didn't know anything about the existence of such a clanmate."

Hiruzen looked at the information in his hand and, after thinking for a moment, said, "Minato, if your information is correct, it seems that this Uzumaki has recently gained new power."

"Danzo's report states that this person's physical strength is very high, and he has the beginnings of the Wood Style. But the information from your side says that Uzumaki's physical skills are very weak, and the Flying Thunder God Technique cannot be used by him many times. It seems that his low chakra volume was also his weakness."

Namikaze Minato nodded: "Two months have passed since the information was last confirmed, and in the past two months, this person has become stronger very quickly. If Wood Style..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued for him, "If it is a Wood Style like the First Hokage and is in the growth stage... this survivor of the Uzumaki clan will have unprecedented potential."

"Also possessing an ability similar to immortality if one masters the Flying Thunder God Technique... Minato, if there is a chance... The Uzumaki have always been Konoha's most loyal ally."

"Besides, there are still members of his clan here... If this is truly impossible, we need to find out his exact location. I think you know what I mean, Minato."

Minato nodded slightly, he understood very well the meaning of the Third Hokage's words.

If there is no way to make him an ally, then a power that can match the First Hokage should not fall into the hands of other villages.

He will have to be eliminated!

The current Namikaze Minato is no longer the sunny youth from the past, but the Kage of the village, he has already matured.

But Minato, who knows about the space of information exchange, also understands very clearly that Uzumaki Sora has a favorable view of Konoha, and the abilities he possesses are certainly not limited to just knowledge of information.

But for now we need to find a way to contact him...
