Chapter 179: Minato Namikaze: Kushina, I will definitely save you!

"Sarutobi Hiruzen! Give me a reasonable explanation!"

Shimura Danzo's face was gloomy, his anger burning, and his eyes looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen were bloodshot.

He didn't know how long he had waited for this moment! He didn't know how much he had sacrificed!

Seeing hope finally in sight, why!!

With Orochimaru and Jiraiya giving up, was there anyone in Konoha more suitable than him to be Hokage!

And yet, they ended up with an acting Hokage?!

And it was still Sarutobi Hiruzen's position!

What was the difference between this dismissal and no dismissal?!

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe calmly, exhaling a cloud of smoke.

He said indifferently: "I didn't want to either, but you know, Konoha has no suitable candidates, so I can only reluctantly contribute my final light to Konoha!"

Shimura Danzo stared at his face, listening to what he said, feeling sick to his stomach.

He questioned: "What do you mean no suitable candidates? Am I, the Darkness of Konoha, the leader of Root, who has contributed so much to Konoha, not qualified enough?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered and said: "Danzo, ask yourself, have you really made any contributions to Konoha? When Konoha had trouble, when did your Root ever appear?!"

Shimura Danzo said stubbornly: "I did that for Konoha!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry he laughed.

Without wasting words, he said directly:

"Fine, fine, fine, you are the Darkness of Konoha, then you should also understand that you have never appeared in the eyes of the Konoha villagers. Without fame, how could you possibly become Hokage!"

Shimura Danzo's heart seemed to have been hit hard, and he fell silent.

Only now did he understand why Sarutobi Hiruzen had been able to agree to his establishment of Root back then.

Because rats in the gutter are not worthy of standing in the sunlight!

Fine, fine, fine! So this is how you treat an old friend!

A flash of sinister malice flickered in Shimura Danzo's eyes, then he snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves as he left!

One day, he would take back everything that belonged to him!

Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly flicked the ash from his pipe; he was also a bit surprised that he could return to this position.

But since he had been given the opportunity, he would definitely not let it go!

He stood up and looked out the window.

Centered on the Hokage Building, the reconstruction of Konoha was gradually radiating outward in circles.

Using ninjas for infrastructure, the speed of Konoha's reconstruction was not slow.

Next, it was time to send someone to the Land of Whirlpools to deliver compensation, and by the way, inquire about the situation in the Land of Whirlpools and Tsunade.

He looked through the list of candidates.

He found a familiar name,

Minato Namikaze.

"Jiraiya's disciple, he has graduated too..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and decided to let Minato Namikaze go this time.

To see the world and build up his resume.

Cultivate him in advance; after all, he was a grand-disciple of his lineage.

Moreover, Minato had good talent and was a commoner, making him easy to control.

On the other side.

Minato Namikaze, who received the mission, looked pleasantly surprised.

He gripped the mission scroll tightly, staring fixedly at the words "Land of Whirlpools" on it!

Ever since the teacher at the Ninja Academy said that Uzumaki Kushina had been abducted by invaders from the Land of Whirlpools, his mood had been very low.

He even made up his mind that sooner or later, he would save Kushina back from the Land of Whirlpools!

Of course, he also had doubts at the time.

Because he remembered that Kushina should have come to Konoha from the Land of Whirlpools.

Now that she had returned to the Land of Whirlpools, why was she abducted?

Shouldn't this be her going home?

Carrying this doubt, he went to ask the teacher at the Ninja Academy.

Only then did he understand that the Land of Whirlpools had been destroyed before, and their Konoha, upholding the alliance relationship, had gone through great pains to protect Uzumaki Kushina, the only survivor of the Uzumaki Clan.

Now that the Land of Whirlpools was being rebuilt, it had already been occupied by other forces; Uzumaki Kushina returning to the Land of Whirlpools was no different from a sheep entering a tiger's den!

Hearing this, Minato Namikaze's heart tightened.

He wished he could rush to the Land of Whirlpools immediately to save Kushina!

It wasn't just Minato Namikaze who thought this; almost all the students at the Ninja Academy, under the brainwashing of the teachers, regarded the Land of Whirlpools as the villain that invaded Konoha and kidnapped Uzumaki Kushina!

They shared a common hatred, rolled up their sleeves, and prepared to give the Land of Whirlpools a lesson in the future!

And this was exactly the goal Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to achieve.

He packaged Konoha as the victim and the Land of Whirlpools as the perpetrator.

To arouse the emotion of shared hatred throughout Konoha, to bring them out of the mood of Konoha's decline, and to enhance Konoha's cohesion.

It had to be said, Sarutobi Hiruzen's methods were brilliant.

Kato Dan, who also received the mission, stared at the content on the mission scroll, a flash of light in his eyes.

Although the mission said it was to escort compensation supplies to the Land of Whirlpools, the focus was indeed to inquire about Tsunade's news, and if possible, bring Tsunade back to Konoha!

Tsunade, besides being a disciple of the Third Hokage, was also the princess of the Senju Clan.

For the villagers of Konoha, Tsunade was the symbol of the Senju Clan.

At the same time, Tsunade was a genuine genius and also in charge of Konoha's Medical Department.

Her talent for medical ninjutsu was extremely high.

Ever since Tsunade took control of Konoha's Medical Department, Konoha's casualty rate had been greatly reduced.

Konoha couldn't just give up on such elite talent.

Moreover, Kato Dan was even more concerned about Tsunade's situation.

He had been eyeing Tsunade for a long time, but unfortunately, he never had the chance.

Now that the Land of Whirlpools incident had occurred, and Tsunade had also plunged into the space-time ninjutsu of the Land of Whirlpools, it seemed to have completely cut off the possibility between them.

But this mission gave him hope again.

"This mission is exactly what I want!"

Kato Dan's tone was firm, but before that, he still had to tell Danzo about the content of this mission. ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
