Chapter 550

And at that time, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had just ascended to the position,

·· ········Seeking flowers··· ·······

On one hand, he also needed the Third Hokage to help him suppress the various factions within Konoha!!!

So there wasn't too much conflict between him and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi,

But Minato Namikaze also knew that, as the time he spent as Hokage grew longer and longer,

He and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would inevitably have greater conflicts and contradictions!!!

But the appearance of the Nine-Tails,

Completely disrupted Minato Namikaze's plans!!

As the Hokage at the time, he could only, without hesitation, pay the price of his life to seal the Nine-Tails.

Minato Namikaze thought that even if the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wanted to treat him, the Fourth Hokage, as a puppet,

But out of respect for his having helped Konoha seal the Nine-Tails,

How could he possibly go too far against a child like Naruto Uzumaki,

........... 0

But Minato Namikaze still overestimated the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi's bottom line!!!

The things he did to Naruto Uzumaki,

Made Minato Namikaze completely unwilling to have any further entanglement with the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!!!

After Minato Namikaze returned this time from the Pure Land space,

He had already made a firm resolve in his heart,

No matter what,

He would no longer be the Fourth Hokage!!!

If he were to be anything, he would only be Naruto Uzumaki's father!!!

He would make the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Shimura Danzo pay the price completely!!!

……

"Shikaku… Choji… Are you two so eager to rush to your deaths?"

"After Minato Namikaze's resurrection, you couldn't wait to pledge your loyalty to him??"

The Third Hokage also sensed that the three clans of the Ino-Shika-Cho had gone to see Minato Namikaze,

An indescribable fury arose in his heart,

He himself was the Hokage,

He himself was the one with the greatest power in Konoha,

But the three clans of the Ino-Shika-Cho actually went to meet Minato Namikaze first,

This had inadvertently already shown whose side they were on,

They were determined to stand with Minato Namikaze and resist him!!

At the same time, a hint of panic also arose in the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart,

Now he was nothing like he was in his prime decades ago,

And Minato Namikaze was still in his prime—could he be a match for Minato Namikaze? Above.

320, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzo join forces once again!

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt extremely panicked,

Because he didn't know what he should do next!!!

He was already very old at his current age,

While the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was still in his prime, completely incomparable to him.

If it were his peak period,

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, thought he wouldn't have any fear of Minato Namikaze,

But as his age grew greater and greater,

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, could clearly feel his body growing more and more weary!!!

Now he was completely no longer at his peak,

If he were to fight the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze,

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought he probably wouldn't last long before he might be defeated by Minato Namikaze!!!!!

"After all, Minato Namikaze is still in his prime right now,

But I have long since been advanced in years!!!

So Hiruzen Sarutobi thought he probably didn't have the possibility of matching Minato Namikaze in a fight,

Now that Minato Namikaze has returned to Konoha,

Many of his former subordinates in Konoha might also return to Minato Namikaze's side,

When the time comes and Minato Namikaze clashes with him,

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought he had no chance of winning!!!

"Minato Namikaze…"

"Minato Namikaze…"

"I will let you know who is truly the Hokage of Konoha!!! I refuse to believe you can be my opponent!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said through gritted teeth!!!

He also completely didn't understand,

Why, after Minato Namikaze returned,

All of Konoha's families immediately showed him their loyalty!!!

During the years I held office,

I made countless contributions to these Konoha families,

yet these people have completely forgotten all I've done for them,

this was what enraged Hiruzen Sarutobi the most—he

had already decided: once Minato Namikaze was eliminated,

he would settle the score with every Konoha family that had wronged him, one by one,

the first to be settled would be the Ino-Shika-Chō clans,

in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes,

he had given the Ino-Shika-Chō clans everything—he had poured out his heart to them, yet these clans still planned to betray him!!!

……

In the distance,

Jiraiya was racing frantically toward Konoha's interior,

for he had just remembered that his student and his Master might erupt into violent conflict!!!

There had already been signs of tension between the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi,

but because of Jiraiya's presence,

the two had never openly broken ties,

yet now Jiraiya believed that without him beside the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze,

no one knew whether these two would erupt into violent conflict,

no one knew,

so Jiraiya now believed his most urgent task was to return immediately,

to stop the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze!!!

If these two clashed violently,

they might inflict devastating damage upon Konoha!!!

Jiraiya believed this was the worst-case scenario!!!!!

……

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was at a loss regarding Shikamaru Tondō,

a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the door of his office!!!

Seeing Shikamaru Tondō's smile,
