Konoha: From Aburame to God.

Chapter 171: Minato's First Assumption of Power

Konoha Village.

Today is the day that Minato Namikaze will officially take office as the Fourth Hokage, and the villagers are all looking forward to it.

After much anticipation, the daimyo's envoy finally arrived in Konoha and was warmly welcomed by the villagers.

When the daimyo envoy saw this scene, he nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Konoha respected him very much.

Under the witness of the daimyo's envoy, Namikaze Minato officially took office as the Fourth Hokage.

The whole of Konoha erupted in cheers, celebrating that Konoha had a new leader.

Minato Namikaze had a huge influence on the new generation and his reputation among the common people was also very high.

This kind of appeal has long exceeded the imagination of many people.

After all, who can resist a sunny, handsome, powerful and capable senior who can save the day at critical moments?

After Minato took over as the Fourth Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed over all power to Minato.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly returned home to accompany Biwako and officially withdrew from the political stage.

In the past, he focused on work and neglected his family. Now he has to make up for it.

In particular, it is time for Asuma to spend more time with his son who is in his rebellious period and let him feel the iron fist of love.

He is so naughty at such a young age that he even learned to smoke and run away from home!

I don’t know who I learned this from!
The Third Hokage passed away easily, but left behind many power disputes.

Minato had a headache.

Power is very complicated, and for a while, he will not be able to grasp the power left by the Third Hokage.

"Shikaku, please sort out the current situation of Konoha first."

Nara Shikaku did not refuse and took out the information he had collected and handed it to Minato.

As Minato's advisor, this was Shikaku's responsibility.

"First of all, the Anbu...most of the key positions are occupied by ninjas from the Sarutobi clan."

In response, Minato Namikaze just nodded slightly, not surprised.

The Anbu is an extension of the Hokage's power. The Third Hokage has been in power for a long time and his ruling foundation is very solid.

If he had not resigned voluntarily, it would have been difficult for Minato to gain power.

"First, expand the size of the Anbu and form an Anbu team that will obey my orders completely."

Minato did not seize power directly, as that would have been too ugly.

Instead, he expanded the size of the Anbu and placed his followers in it.

Anyway, the Third Hokage has already handed over his power and retired completely.

Minato believed that it would take some time to bring the Anbu under control, and he was not in a hurry.

Nara Shikaku also very much approved of Minato's decision.

Although he has the support of the Third Hokage, as the new Hokage, Minato should not fight too vigorously for power. Gradual progress is the best option.

Otherwise, it may cause concern to others.

Although it will not cause unsolvable problems, it will still cause some trouble.

"The second is the Root. The current leader is Lord Orochimaru. Some ninjas who followed Lord Orochimaru have already entered the Root."

"Well, with Orochimaru-senpai at the Root, there's nothing to worry about."

The root is a deformed existence in Konoha.

It was originally a training department for the Anbu, but due to Danzo's ambition and Sarutobi Hiruzen's connivance, it became an organization capable of exercising some of the power of the Hokage.

During the time of the Third Hokage, the Root gradually grew stronger and became a powerful department in Konoha.

It has now become a historical legacy.

After Danzo's death, we can find ways to weaken him or even cancel him.

But now that Orochimaru has taken over the Root and become the new leader of the Root, it will be difficult to deal with him.

Although Orochimaru lost to Minato Namikaze in the competition for the Fourth Hokage.

But those who understand will understand.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't taken sides, the final outcome would have been uncertain.

Moreover, Orochimaru has been famous for a long time, has experienced countless battles, and has made great contributions to Konoha.

The subordinates he once led are distributed in various departments of Konoha, and he also has a large number of followers among the ninja community.

It can be said that the Root is Orochimaru's compensation for losing the Fourth Hokage. It is a hard bone and not easy to touch.

Minato nodded slightly, the Root was indeed troublesome, but without the support of the Hokage, it was just a powerful organization.

It is not like before, where he could interfere in almost everything in Konoha.

"Next is the Training Department. This is the most important organization in Konoha. All the strong armor and giant armor are manufactured by the Training Department."

"The Training Department is controlled by the head, Aburame Shiitsu, the Sarutobi clan, and the Shimura clan."

"Originally, the three of them worked together to almost eliminate the possibility of others interfering in the training department."

"But now Shiyi is using his power to reshuffle the cards and is strengthening his control over the training department, eroding the power of the Sarutobi and Shimura clans."

"This is a good opportunity, Minato, you can take this opportunity to insert someone in there."

Nara Shikaku looked very serious.

"The Strong Armor is very important to Konoha. It is the pillar of Konoha's strength."

"You should also be familiar with the battle between the Five Spirit Kings and the Nightmare King against the mysterious enemy."

"Minato, you are the Hokage, you must take control of a portion of the training department!"

Minato nodded in approval, agreeing with Shikaku's suggestion.

Apart from anything else, the powerful armor he was wearing - the Space Rover - was of great help to him.

In addition, the damage that the Giant Colonial Suit can cause is extremely terrifying, and the changes in the terrain of the Valley of the End have proved this.

"I will place someone in my training department!"

Minato was also very decisive and made the decision directly.

"Next, the medical department, logistics department, sealing team... most of these departments are under the control of the two Hokage advisors."

"The role of the two Hokage advisors is to help the Third Hokage share the pressure, but now they are becoming increasingly unable to do so."

Nara Shikaku hinted that the two Hokage's advisors came from the Hokage.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo withdrew from the political stage, the Konoha F4 political alliance has disintegrated.

Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En can no longer maintain the huge profits, and they have to give up some of them.

"Indeed, the two Hokage advisors have worked hard and deserve a good rest."

Minato also agreed with this very much, thinking that one should always pick the weak ones.

Having lost their political allies, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En are now easy targets.

During the conversation between Minato and Shikaku, the current situation of Konoha was clearly understood.

Now I know which rights can be fought for and which rights need to be fought for later.

……

Kirigakure Village.

Shang Yuanshi was at home, thinking about what to do next.
A cloud of black mist suddenly appeared beside him.

"Who?!"

Ueharashi took out a kunai and stared at the black fog vigilantly.

In the black fog!

A gloomy face slowly revealed itself!
"Lord Danzo!"

Ueharashi showed a look of surprise and put down the kunai in his hand.

"I know you will succeed!"

"Well, you've been doing pretty good these days."

Danzo's figure slowly emerged, an illusory black shadow covered in Sharingan.

"Although I have successfully become a Sky Monster, I am still afraid of the Third Mizukage. I need to hide my identity temporarily and live in your body."

"It is my honor to devote myself to Lord Danzo!"

Danzo was very satisfied with the attitude of the raw stone.

The Sharingan on the phantom black shadow slowly moved to the back of the Uehara Stone's head, and then closed one by one.

"I will nurture a stronger Sharingan and fall into a deep sleep. During this time, you will act as you normally would."

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

Shang Yuanshi carefully put on a purple headscarf to cover the traces.

Mist Hidden Voldemort appears!
