Me and countless me.

Chapter 62: The Third Hokage of Konoha Village

Sarutobi Hiruzen held the pipe in his hand and felt unwell.

What he hoped was that the Hidden Mist Village could preserve its own strength, maintain the rules of the five major countries, and continue to play in this way.

but--

What are Li Ke and Minato Namikaze doing?
They robbed the enemy's war funds and war supplies, and then caused a big disturbance in the enemy's village.

Although a peace treaty was signed in the end, can the peace achieved in this way really last?

Does the Water Kingdom still have the ability to maintain its status as a great power and preserve the balance among the five great powers?
Sarutobi Hiruzen was full of worry. He didn't understand why Namikaze Minato suddenly became like a different person, nor did he understand why Li Ke suddenly became so powerful and tough.

When I saw him before the war, he was a typical good kid. Why has he become like this now?

And the most important thing is, what will other countries think of Konoha?
However, Danzo Shimura didn't care about this matter. He looked at Nara Shikaku and asked.

"Did you really steal 10 billion?"

Nara Shikaku nodded.

"Yes, Lord Danzo, we did steal 10 billion in war funds, as well as a large amount of forbidden techniques and intelligence from the Hidden Mist Village."

Danzo's eyes suddenly lit up, he didn't care about the balance and equilibrium between the five major countries, he just wanted this!
So he spoke immediately.

"These ninjutsu materials are very dangerous. You'd better send them to the Root first and let us check them before..."

But before he could finish his words, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu on the side spoke up.

Mizuto Menyan spoke first. He pointed at the table. Since his department was in charge of this, his tone was quite impolite.

"Danzo, your Root does not have such a function, and this is technically the village's spoils of war, so it should go through the review channel first."

On the other side, Utane Koharu was looking at Danzo seriously.

"Danzo, that information needs to be carefully reviewed by the intelligence department, because it is very likely to be false information. Before that..."

Of course, Danzo Shimura would not fail to refute the words of the two consultants, so in the eyes of Nara Shikaku and others, several consultants began to speak their minds.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his temples with a headache. He looked at Nara Shikaku and took a deep breath.

"Then you can ask Murata Kiyotan to come over, and Minato to come too. I have something to ask them both."

He sighed. He originally thought that Li Ke was a genius who needed to be further cultivated, but now...

But Nara Shikaku did not leave. He just looked around and spoke in a worried tone.

"Hokage-sama, many people in the village... are very satisfied with the results of this battle, so the previous treaties..."

He paused before continuing.

"Please handle this matter with caution."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and let Nara Shikaku go down.

He knew what Nara Shikaku meant. Nara Shikaku was reminding him that many people were not satisfied with him continuing to be the Hokage, especially when Namikaze Minato and Murata Kiyotan really brought back compensation, secret techniques, and a series of things.

But looking at the three old classmates arguing with each other, and the systems and institutions of the five major countries passed down by their ancestors, he still shook his head.

He began to waver in his opinion about the candidate for Hokage.

But when he thought about his disciple's character and the fact that he was closer to Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little melancholy.

He really hopes to have a successor who is outstanding enough, peace-loving, and able to inherit the spirit and ideas of his predecessors.

So Orochimaru is not a good choice, and letting him up would be even worse.

He doesn't care about old things and rules, and will only act according to his own interests, just like Danzo.

In his hands, Konoha Village will become a village that only knows how to fight.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart. If Jiraiya was willing to become Hokage, he would not be so worried.

Or maybe Tsunade is also willing to become Hokage.

It wouldn't be the case that we are left with no choice now after Minato also had problems.

So he thought for a while, and when Minato Namikaze and Li Ke walked into the office, he looked at Minato Namikaze's young face and decided something.

"Minato is still too young...it looks like I will have to assist him for a while."

While thinking about this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke to Namikaze Minato and Li Ke.

"Minato, and Qingtan, you've worked hard."

As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo Shimura spoke.

"You two, do you know what you have done!?"

He angrily pounded his crutch, making a dull sound in the room.

But neither Minato Namikaze nor Li Ke looked at Danzo Shimura, but at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Minato Namikaze did not hesitate at this time and went straight forward.

"Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama, when the negotiations broke down, we chose to attack the Hidden Mist Village and force them to sign a peace treaty."

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes, but just as he was about to speak, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke.

"I see. It is certainly a good thing to be able to sign a peace treaty, but Minato, you must be clear about one thing."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was very serious.

"The system of the five great nations and five ninja villages is a precious legacy left to us by our ancestors. We must firmly protect this system. Only by protecting this system can we keep peace in our Konoha Village."

Minato Namikaze did not refute, but nodded seriously.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

He lowered his head, but Li Ke did not lower his head. Instead, he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a smile.

It wasn't intentional, but he really couldn't help it.

Because at this moment, Senju Tobirama was cursing in his heart.

"Just wait there, Monkey! Qingtan! Give me control of your body! I'm going to beat him to death!!"

Senju Tobirama's defense was really broken. He saw the conversation between his group of disciples through Li Ke's extremely strong eye rolls and lip reading from outside. Combined with his understanding of these disciples, Senju Tobirama had only one idea at this moment.

"I'm going to kill these idiots!!!"

"calm down……"

In Li Ke's spiritual space, Senju Hashirama was holding his younger brother, trying to comfort him and prevent his brother's chakra from becoming too violent, so that people outside would not notice that Li Ke had Senju Tobirama's chakra in his body.

Because he was a staunch believer in the idea that the dead should not interfere with the living.

The same thing happened to Tobirama Senju before.

But not anymore.

On one side——

Uchiha Madara smiled like a flower.
