Chapter 549

Neither of them was a fool, so naturally they could sense from this that many different things were about to happen.

At the same time, several powerful auras also came from outside the door!!

Although these auras were powerful, they felt very familiar to Minato Namikaze,

for many years ago, he had fought shoulder to shoulder with the masters of these very auras,

and these masters of the auras were precisely the ones who respectfully called him the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!!!

At this moment, Minato Namikaze also knew that everything had returned,

these people might bring him new and different things.

"Lord Minato… it's been a long time…"

A middle-aged man with a bun suddenly appeared before Minato Namikaze,

and seeing the man's familiar face, Minato Namikaze also slowly smiled.

"Shikaku… it's been a long time…"

Looking at Minato Namikaze's gentle face, exactly the same as years ago,

Nara Shikaku felt even more lost and wistful,

many years ago,

their three clans — the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly — had followed Minato Namikaze with unwavering resolve,

believing that Minato Namikaze was probably the greatest Hokage in Konoha's history,

that Konoha would be born into a different brilliance under his hand,

but no one had expected,

that on the night of the Nine-Tails' Rampage, Minato Namikaze and his wife paid the price with their lives,

only to seal it into Naruto Uzumaki's body!!!

The chaos of that night made them realize that all their efforts over so many years might have been wasted for nothing!!!

"Lord Minato… I never imagined that after so many years, there would still be a day when we could meet you again."

"Since you've returned, then Konoha's future has hope…"

"No matter what… we will follow behind you with unwavering resolve, obey your commands, just as we did back then."

A simple, honest smile appeared on Akimichi Choza's face as he said with a smile to Minato Namikaze,

and Nara Shikaku, hearing Akimichi Choza's words, also smiled,

saying nothing,

he believed Minato Namikaze understood their meaning!!.

319. The Third Hokage's Panic! Minato Namikaze's Old Faction Assembles!!

If the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, were to come here,

he would certainly be very surprised, because now Minato Namikaze's old faction had basically all assembled here!!!!

At the very first moment of Minato Namikaze's resurrection,

the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had basically already guessed,

that once Minato Namikaze was resurrected, he would probably come looking for him to settle accounts first,

this was what made the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, feel the most terrified!!

These people posed a certain threat to him,

which the Third Kage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, could not accept at all!!!

Because the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, did not want everything he had painstakingly built over so many years,

to be completely taken away by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!!

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, believed that Minato Namikaze could become Konoha's greatest Fourth Hokage,

but this greatness of his must be built beneath himself, the Third Hokage!!!

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, believed that even if Minato Namikaze could become Konoha's greatest Hokage,

Minato Namikaze must still submit to his rule!!!

Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that even if he had retreated behind the scenes, he must still rule from behind the curtain.

Any decision of Minato Namikaze's must also be carried out according to his own wishes,

it could not be carried out according to the Fourth Hokage's wishes!!

This was the result the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, wanted,

he did not want to lose his control over Konoha after retreating behind the scenes,

this was not the result Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted!!

……

"Shikaku… after so many years apart, it seems you're still the same as ever."

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, revealed a gentle smile toward Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shikaku looked at the soft smile on Minato Namikaze's face,

his thoughts could not help but drift back to many years ago, when they had fought shoulder to shoulder with Minato Namikaze,

it was at that time,

the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, just like them, loved to discuss all kinds of future matters!!!

These things let Nara Shikaku know,

that Minato Namikaze might become Konoha's greatest Hokage,

because the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was not born into any Kekkei Genkai clan,

he was of commoner clan origin,

So he could also be more attuned to the needs of the common people. If he became Hokage,

he would surely be able to carry out a complete reform of Konoha,

which is the important reason why the Ino-Shika-Cho trio has always firmly supported Minato Namikaze becoming the Fourth Hokage.

But just after Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage,

Nara Shikaku never expected that a terrifying creature like the Nine-Tails would appear.

It can be said that on the night of the Nine-Tails' disturbance,

Minato Namikaze's death thoroughly disrupted Nara Shikaku's plans.

Nara Shikaku had envisioned many times the plan to reform Konoha together with Minato Namikaze,

to make Konoha even more prosperous,

but with the appearance of the Nine-Tails, all these plans were completely thrown into chaos!!!

"Minato… so many years have passed, and you still look just as dashing as ever."

"Now that you've been resurrected and returned, Konoha is bound to fall into some upheaval!!!"

"But no matter what upheaval befalls Konoha, we will surely follow you without the slightest hesitation!!!"

A deep smile surfaced on Nara Shikaku's face.

Many years ago, they had been just like this.

And now that Minato Namikaze had returned,

Nara Shikaku felt that many things still hadn't changed,

and they still shared an extremely high tacit understanding with Minato Namikaze!!!

And hearing these words from Nara Shikaku,

Minato Namikaze also knew what Nara Shikaku was hinting at.

After his return from the world of the dead,

the two people who must have felt the most uneasy were the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Shimura Danzo!!!

What those two had done to Naruto Uzumaki over the years — as his father, Minato Namikaze would absolutely never forgive those two!!!

Moreover, many years ago, Minato Namikaze had already believed that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was likely the greatest obstacle during his time in office.

Although, when the Fourth Hokage was being elected,

the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, chose himself as the Fourth Hokage,

Minato Namikaze knew this was nothing more than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi09en Sarutobi, trying to suppress Orochimaru,

wanting to pick a Hokage who would obey his commands!!!

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had always wanted to treat him as a puppet,
