Chapter 519: Utatane Hisagi was dying and the internal opposition of Konoha

After the war, the Konoha camp was in ruins.

Under the cover of dark clouds, a large thundercloud condensed in the sky at some point.

Then, under the dull thunder sound, the wind and thunder surged, and heavy rain fell.

Facing the gradually out-of-control rain, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato, Kushina... and a large number of Konoha ninjas who had just experienced the war, still stood outside a room, with no intention of leaving.

Creak~

The sudden sound of the door being pushed open instantly attracted the attention of most people.

Looking at the several medical jonins who walked out of the room, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly walked over.

"How is it? How is Deputy Minister Hishii's injury?"

Facing the attacks of the Four-tailed Jinchuriki Lao Zi and the Five-tailed Jinchuriki Han... before retreating.

In order to protect the Konoha ninjas behind him, Utane Hishii, who was on the verge of the limit... in the end, still chose to protect them (her), and resolutely met the two tailed beast balls.

Although it successfully blocked the ravages of the tailed beast balls and saved hundreds of Konoha ninjas... However, Utane Hishii was also severely injured under the bombardment of the tailed beast balls and completely lost consciousness. Until now... she is still in a severe coma.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's inquiry did not receive an immediate response, but... received a series of complex, organized... and even hostile looks.

"Vice Minister Hishii's injuries are very serious. Even if we join forces, we can only barely prevent the further deterioration of Vice Minister Hishii's injuries, and we can't... wake Vice Minister Hishii from a severe coma."

"Now... Vice Minister Hishii's breath is shrinking. If this continues... I'm afraid he will be dead soon."

The moment the voice fell, thunder streaked across the sky, making everyone's faces more and more embarrassed.

"Old man~"

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who fell into silence, Jiraiya took a deep breath, his eyes carrying an indescribable heaviness.

"Old man, this matter must be told to Tetsuya as soon as possible... You should know that once... Vice Minister Hishii really can't wake up, how big a wave will Konoha and even the entire ninja world cause?"

This is not that Jiraiya is exaggerating, everything he said... is based on his understanding of Fujiwara Tetsuya's character.

If something really happens to that person in the houseWhat happened.

Whether it was him... or Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, or even all the Konoha ninjas who participated in this war, they would most likely be angered.

Thinking of the strength that Fujiwara Tetsuya might have now... Jiraiya's scalp tingled.

Even Utane Hisoki, a bloodless person with a not-so-good ninja talent, had grown to this level under the training of that kid and mastered the perfect Sage Mode.

Then... that kid? How much did he grow to?

Minato... really have a chance to win?

"Jiraiya~"

Looking at Jiraiya's solemn expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen... couldn't help but smile bitterly, with bitterness in the corners of his eyes.

At the moment, the development of things was completely beyond his expectations.

He didn't expect that Utane Hisoki, who used to stay in the medical department, would actually step into the Kage level, and he didn't expect... that she would actually master the legendary Sage Mode.

He didn't expect... Utane Hisoki would actually be injured in this war.

Yes~

How should I explain to that stubborn kid?

"Hokage-sama, I once gave Kakashi a kunai with the Flying Thunder God mark as a gift."

"Why don't you let me handle the message?"

Facing Minato Namikaze's gaze, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya on the side became increasingly silent.

Obviously... his beloved apprentice has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Minato~ In order to deal with the Hidden Rock Village, I still need your strength."

"This matter... I...".

"Why! Why~"

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking about the words and how to respond to Minato Namikaze.

Dozens of Konoha ninjas standing on the periphery stood out one after another, looking at Minato Namikaze and Kushina with resentment on their faces.

"Why~"

"Namikaze Minato, why on earth!"

"Why didn't you and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki immediately support Deputy Minister Hishii after arriving at the battlefield?"

"You know... she was fighting two Jinchuriki for us?"

"As a Kage-level strongman, you should have noticed that kind of movement?"

"Why did you have to support the Hokage-sama immediately?"

"Obviously, the battle between the Hokage-sama and the Third Tsuchikage has already gained the upper hand..."

"Why on earth is this? Tell me...Namikaze Minato."

After Tsunade left, Hishii Utatane became the deputy minister of the medical department.

I don't know how many Konoha ninjas... and their families have received the favor of Hishii Utatane.

In addition to everything that Hishii Utatane showed in this war...

It has already convinced countless Konoha ninjas.

"Hmph~ Isn't that kind of thing a hateful thing?"

"Because the great Yellow Flash is the apprentice of Jiraiya-sama, one of the Three Ninjas."

"And Jiraiya-sama is the apprentice of Hokage-sama..."

"This is what is called the master-disciple relationship!"

"With the reputation of supporting Hokage-sama and repelling the Third Tsuchikage..."

"Namikaze Minato, you are not far from becoming the Fourth Hokage, right?"

In a state of grief and indignation, many of Konoha's elite jonins have torn their faces to some extent.

They did not leave a single drop of face for Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya... and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Asshole~ Minato is not what you say!"

Seeing Namikaze Minato fall into the hostility of the crowd, Kushina's expression turned cold, and she raised her arm and was about to step forward to argue with the Konoha ninjas who were leading the group.

"Kushina, stop!"

"This is not something you should interfere with."

At the critical moment, Namikaze Minato pulled Kushina back from her furious state with a gloomy face.

Although he had never thought of obtaining the qualification to ascend to the Fourth Hokage by supporting the Hokage at that time.

But now...how should he explain it?

"Enough~Minato is definitely not what you think."

"Minato chose to support me in order to end this war faster."

"In order to win this war, Minato also paid a lot. I...will never allow anyone to slander him."

Sarutobi Hiruzen obviously thought wrongly. The current situation is fundamentally different from the past.

Unconditional suppression cannot show the majesty of the Hokage, let alone...scare away the angry people.

"So... is this your attitude?"

"Sir, the Third Hokage?"

"Although, we don't know exactly what you think."

"But, I, Hatake Otokazu, will never approve of such a man becoming the Fourth Hokage of Konoha..."

"And I, Hyuga Aoi, also don't approve."

"I, Yuiyo Ryuei, think so too..."

As the voices rang out, the thunder became more violent, and... Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya, and Namikaze Minato's faces became paler.

As for Kushina, she seemed to understand something after a while, and fell into silence.
