Chapter 522

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked relaxed.

He felt indescribable satisfaction with Shikaku Nara in front of him.

Yes.

Returning to the village in a rush late at night, not even bothering to go home to report safety, but coming to him first.

This attitude alone made him quite happy.

Although the Ino-Shika-Cho trio wasn't his core inner circle, as long as he held power for one more day, they would wholeheartedly plan for him according to their personality.

Completely trustworthy!

As for what to do after he lost power?

Heh.

Without completely wiping out all major ninja clans and letting the Sarutobi clan control Konoha, he would never voluntarily give up power.

As for failure?

He had never considered this question, because long-term success had given him enough confidence.

He could handle the Senju clan himself; a mere Uchiha, even if a Jin Uchiha had risen, he still had the confidence to completely handle the other party.

It was precisely because of this.

He naturally maintained absolute trust in Shikaku Nara.

If he didn't listen...

Handling the Uchiha might be difficult, but killing an Ino-Shika-Cho member was a piece of cake for him.

And on the other side.

Shikaku Nara fell into deep thought.

After listening to Hiruzen Sarutobi's introduction, even he felt a headache.

Good heavens!

So many things happened in just two days?

Rin Nohara had the Three-Tails stuffed into her on the battlefield; one could imagine that the Hidden Mist would definitely come to ask for the Tailed Beast in the future.

For the sake of the village's peace, sacrificing one ninja.

This, in itself, was nothing.

But the key was that this person was Minato Namikaze's disciple!

Shikaku Nara knew Minato Namikaze very well.

Wanting him to give up? Absolutely impossible!

Because of this, the Hokage and Minato had a rift, but before Hiruzen Sarutobi could think of a way, Danzo raided Minato Namikaze's house tonight and almost snatched Rin Nohara away?

Good heavens!

If Danzo wasn't dealt with, Minato Namikaze would definitely be alienated from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But, fortunately.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's handling was barely passable.

After pondering for a long time.

Shikaku Nara slowly spoke.

"In my opinion, the matter with Minato is easy to solve."

"Since we cannot persuade Minato, and you, Hokage, don't want to be too stiff with him, we can try to start with Rin Nohara."

"Because of the relationship with the frontline commander, Minato's team is a key focus."

"So I know a little bit about that girl."

"She is a very simple and kind child, and most importantly, she has a personality that doesn't want to add trouble to others!"

"Minato is fighting so hard for her, she must feel very uncomfortable."

"Think of a way, find a time."

"The Hokage can personally have a private chat with Rin Nohara, talk more about the Will of Fire and the village's righteousness, and use the righteousness of peace to force her to choose to sacrifice herself."

"In this way, Minato will have nothing to say."

"After all, choosing to sacrifice herself is Rin Nohara's own choice!"

"Minato is a ninja who understands righteousness; even for the sake of the village, he won't make a scene."

"Hokage-sama, you can rest assured."

"At worst, after this matter is over, I will find an opportunity to have a good chat with Minato."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up.

Yeah!

Although Minato might not agree, if Rin Nohara chose to sacrifice herself, it would naturally plug Minato's mouth.

Why hadn't he thought of such simple logic?

"Good idea!" Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed repeatedly. "It has to be you, Shikaku!"

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I worried all night last night and couldn't find a solution."

"But, I didn't expect."

"Shikaku, you found a solution so quickly."

"What about the Uchiha side? What are your thoughts, Shikaku?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed repeatedly.

For Shikaku Nara, this strategist, he was completely convinced.

The problem that had troubled him for so long was solved so simply.

Convinced!

He had to be!

Considering this, he even secretly made up his mind.

Even if he encountered war again in the future, unless absolutely necessary, he would never let Shikaku Nara go to the front line.

Such a smart person must be kept by his side.

No matter what difficulties he encountered, with such a guy by his side, he could be much more composed.

Now that the matter with Minato was resolved, he felt much lighter in his heart.

Regarding Minato Namikaze.

Although he was destined to be a puppet Hokage, he was still a Hokage after all.

For the sake of his plans, he naturally didn't want to be too stiff.

Immediately after.

He naturally began to ask about the Uchiha side.

"The Uchiha, huh." Shikaku Nara said gloomily, "I need to think about it carefully."

"Unlike before, the current Uchiha also have smart people!"
