Chapter 13: Showdown
Inside the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage had a pipe in his mouth, and his expression was one of shock. The figures in the crystal ball in front of him were none other than Namikaze Minato and Nara Shikaku! Evidently, while monitoring Minato, he had accidentally heard about the future. For a time, even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had seen many big scenes, found it a bit hard to accept!
In fact, the strange behavior of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and Kakashi constantly looking for people in their respective areas and even the Anbu had already attracted the attention of the Anbu.
The Anbu informed the Third Hokage of this. At first, the Third Hokage didn't care, but as the heads and young heads of various families gathered at Konoha's Third Training Ground, the Third Hokage slowly began to take it seriously!
He had been monitoring them. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio gathered so many families and even Anbu people together; they couldn't be taking them to eat barbecue! He just didn't expect that the convener of this collective gathering would be Namikaze Minato, whom he wanted to cultivate as his successor! And he didn't expect to hear such explosive news next.
The Third, looking through the crystal ball at Minato and the others walking toward this side, shook his head with a bitter smile. He clearly knew that Minato and the others were coming to explain things to him, but at the same time, it was also a showdown with him! But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't panic; instead, he had the Anbu guard the office, not letting anyone else in except Minato and Shikaku, and at the same time, he felt some anticipation for what was about to happen!
Minato and Shikaku had actually thought of other methods, but they would take a lot of time and energy, so it wasn't necessary. Moreover, standing on Minato's side now were most of the ninjas of the Five Great Nations, as well as the nine Tailed Beasts. Among the Sannin, except for Jiraiya, the other two were both Reborn.
There was also the Third Tsuchikage, and the two bosses of the future Fourth Shinobi World War, Uchiha Obito and Yakushi Kabuto, Might Guy who almost kicked Madara to death, and the Fourth Raikage, etc., as well as the heads or future heads of various families. With so many powerful helpers, except for Uchiha Madara returning to his youth, or the Otsutsuki Clan, there was no one in the ninja world who could resist them, so there was no need to fear anyone, and no need to engage in conspiracies!
There was one more point. Minato knew that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the Third... In the future, he and his wife sacrificed themselves for Konoha, sealing the Nine-Tails inside Naruto. He originally hoped he would become a hero of Konoha. The Third hid Naruto's identity to protect the Jinchuriki, which he could understand; after all, it was for the village!
But when you find someone to take care of Naruto, couldn't you find someone reliable? Every day, a child of a few years old ate instant noodles and expired milk. If it weren't for his child having the Uzumaki constitution and Kurama, he might have already reunited with his family... How could the Fourth not be angry?
Because Naruto rarely saw his father, he told his father everything that had happened over the years, and even told his father about his childhood, including his diet! Hearing that Naruto lived on instant noodles and expired milk every day made the Fourth exceptionally heartbroken.
Shikaku saw the Fourth's expression and could also guess a little! He was very clear about Naruto's encounter, but he knew this couldn't blame the Third.
At that time, the Fourth suddenly passed away, Konoha was in chaos, the Land of Lightning wanted to take advantage of the situation, the Land of Earth was eyeing them covetously, internal ninja losses were heavy, one of the three, Orochimaru, defected, and the other two were not there. Because of Konoha's decadence, the Land of Fire's national strength was even surpassed by the Land of Lightning.
Of course, even if Konoha was decadent, it wouldn't be to the point of not being able to find a better nanny! On this point, it was indeed the Third's negligence!
Of course, in Naruto's education, he did choose the right person! Umino Iruka! This person was a glimmer of light in Naruto's dark childhood memories.
Thinking about this, he arrived downstairs at the Hokage Building before he knew it, took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and stopped thinking about these messy things.
Then he walked into the Hokage Building with Minato. The two didn't walk fast and greeted acquaintances on the way!
Very quickly, they arrived at the door of the Hokage's office, knocked on the door, and after hearing "come in" from inside, pushed the door and walked in.
After walking in, Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting in the Hokage's position waiting for them...
"Before you explain everything, I want to ask you first: is everything you said just now true?" Before Minato could speak, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked first.
"Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but the current timeline and the experiences of all the Reborn should be true! A powerhouse who can use ninjutsu that transcends time and space to send the Reborn to our world doesn't need to lie to us!"
Minato said. Everything he knew was told by Naruto, and he hadn't experienced it himself... so he didn't dare to be sure if it was true, but as he said, Naruto, who possessed such power, didn't need to lie to them.
"Then can you tell me everything you know? Minato," Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a puff of smoke and then said!
"Yes, I intend to do so," Minato replied! "The beginning of the matter has to start from Kushina's pregnancy."
Minato told the history he knew from Naruto one by one. Although he was a bit dissatisfied with the Third, he still trusted the Third Hokage! It was just that when talking about Naruto's childhood, he specifically emphasized the expired milk and instant noodles, and mentioned it many times to express his dissatisfaction!
The Third shook his head. The future him was indeed not decent in this matter! ===== CHAPTER 15 =====
