Chapter 154 The Wind Rises
Chapter 154 The Wind Rises
Although Minato Namikaze sat down, he only sat on half of his buttocks, leaving the other half outside. After all, he still understood what to do in front of the big boss.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded secretly with satisfaction. Minato was a good boy who knew when to advance and when to retreat and was polite.
"Minato asked you to come here today because I decided to entrust you with an important mission."
Before Namikaze Minato could ask for advice, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued
"I want you to run for the Fourth Hokage."
The Fourth Hokage, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze was stunned by this huge surprise.
His head was confused and he didn't know what to say. After all, becoming a Hokage was his dream.
But he knew in his heart that even though he had learned that the Third Hokage would abdicate and the Fourth Hokage would be selected, he never thought that he would have this opportunity.
After all, in his perception, he was just a civilian ninja with a little bit of strength who was lucky enough to become Jiraiya's disciple.
How could he have imagined that this opportunity would fall upon him without any preparation?
"Hokage-sama, is this true? But why is it me and not my sensei?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt even more satisfied when he saw Minato's genuine surprise. This was a good boy who was influenced by his will of fire.
Moreover, when such a good thing happened, he did not forget his master at the first moment. One can imagine his inner quality.
"Minato Jiraiya has received a secret mission and won't be returning to the village any time soon."
"But"
"There is no but. Minato is running out of time. You must make up your mind, otherwise I am afraid that other people in the village will use this as an excuse to cause trouble."
"Okay, I agree, Lord Hokage." Although Minato Namikaze didn't know why the Third Hokage was so nervous, he still agreed under his tough attitude.
"Okay, very good. Next, I will mobilize the power in my hands to publicize your deeds in the village. You just need to cooperate."
On the other side, the Hyuga clan
Uchiha Nan, wearing an Uchiha style windbreaker, came to the gate of the Hyuga clan with a smile on his face.
"My friend, this is the home of the Hyuga clan and outsiders are not welcome."
The two Hyuga ninjas guarding the gate looked at Uchiha Nan, who was dressed in standard Uchiha style, and immediately raised their hands to stop him.
The Uchiha and Hyuga clans were at odds with each other, and this was something everyone in the village knew.
Even this time, after the clan leader returned from the battlefield, he changed his previous attitude and vigorously promoted the improvement of relations with the Uchiha clan.
But how could the hostility that has lasted for such a long time change overnight?
The lower-level ninjas of the Hyuga clan who are unaware of the truth will not be able to change in a short period of time.
What's more, the Hyuga clan's territory does not welcome outsiders to enter, they are just doing their job.
Looking at the two people blocking the way, Uchiha Nan did not get angry, nor did he say that you are going to die just because of a disagreement.
Instead, he released a portion of his own chakra with a smile on his face.
A terrifying aura emanated from his seemingly frail figure.
In an instant, the sky above his head seemed to darken a little, and the air seemed to solidify. The floating dust particles in it were fixed in place, unable to move at all.
The two Hyuga ninjas guarding the gate were even more terrified, as they felt the handsome young man in front of them suddenly changed.
A terrifying giant beast that covered the sky and bared its fangs and claws seemed to want to devour their souls.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Hyuga clan?"
The masters of the Hyuga clan could no longer sit still after noticing the commotion here.
They jumped out one after another, and rushed towards the terrifying chakra pressure with serious expressions. The brothers Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi were among them.
On the way, the two brothers looked at the strong men of the Hyuga clan who had rushed over from nearby, and saw the panic on their faces.
But the Hyuga clan was fearless, they were confident that they could face such a terrifying enemy.
Even if they were defeated, that person would not be able to kill all of their Hyuga clan members before his chakra was exhausted.
When he arrived at the gate, Hinata Hiashi immediately set his eyes on the face of the handsome young man who had a smile on his face and exuded endless power.
After recognizing the person, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don't know why this person appears here, but looking at his smile, I know that he should be in a good mood.
"Chief Nan, it turns out to be you. I am so sorry for not welcoming you in person."
Ever since Hinata Hiashi saw Uchiha Minami's divine power on the battlefield.
Under the persuasion of some clan members, he immediately decided to ease the relationship with the Uchiha clan.
He also warned the high-ranking members of the Hyuga clan to recognize the face of Uchiha Minami and never provoke him in the future, otherwise don't blame the clan for expelling you.
So the Hyuga clan masters who followed him also knew who the visitor was, after the clan leader waved his hand.
Except for Hinata Hizashi who stayed there, the rest of the people went back to their homes.
"Thank you for being polite, Chief Rizu. I want to discuss something with you. I'm afraid you're not in the tribe, so I resorted to this desperate measure. I hope you don't mind."
Uchiha Nan did not mention at all that the guard at the door did not let him in.
After all, Renjian was just doing his job. If he had mentioned it in front of Hinata Hiashi, the two of them would definitely be punished. Why bother?
The two gatekeepers were still trembling with fear, looking as if they had offended a big shot and didn't know how this would end.
But when he heard that this person did not mention anything about the two of them, he immediately looked at Uchiha Nan with gratitude.
They also swore in their hearts that they would remember this face in the future, and the next time this person came, they would go to greet him with drums and gongs.
"Oh, I see. Why don't we go in and discuss it?"
Hyuga Hiashi sincerely invited Uchiha Minami to enter the clan territory, not caring at all about the rule that outsiders were not allowed to enter.
Then we came to a meeting room with antique style, and the furniture gave it a sense of extraordinaryness.
Hinata Hiashi and Uchiha Minami sat opposite each other. They exchanged a few simple greetings and changed the way they addressed each other from clan leader to calling each other by their names to show their affection.
"If Nan has anything to say, he might as well speak out."
Uchiha Nan picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
"Since you are so straightforward, I won't waste any more time. The election for the Fourth Hokage is approaching, and I hope you will support Teacher Tsunade."
After hearing his words, Hinata Hiashi's heart was shaken, and the hand holding the teacup shook involuntarily.
After the Third Hokage abdicated, the Hyuga clan once coveted the position of the Fourth Hokage.
However, they knew in their hearts that this was impossible and Sarutobi Hiruzen would not allow it, so they gave up the idea.
But now Uchiha Nan came here just for this matter. The Uchiha clan actually has such a big ambition to get involved in the position of Hokage, and they have even put it into action.
As the head of the clan, he certainly wouldn't just look at the surface of things.
It seems that Tsunade is running for the Fourth Hokage, and Uchiha Minami, as his disciple, is just here to gain support.
But Hinata Hiashi has already seen the deeper meaning behind it.
The Uchiha clan interfered in the selection of Hokage, openly challenging Sarutobi Hiruzen's authority.
The previous Hokage selection was basically a one-man show by Sarutobi Hiruzen's lineage, and whoever they said was the winner.
But now Uchiha Minami's strength and the intentions he revealed made Hinata Hiashi think deeply about all of this.
got windy!
