Naruto: I, the righteous one, became the mastermind behind everything!

"How many children are going to be sent to war?"

"There is no point in such a war."

Danzo glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen. He knew that now that he had made a decision, his old friend would not change it, but he still said: "Hoshita Shuichi is also a person valued by the daimyo. If he sacrifices because of this... …”

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "I, the Hokage, will bear all the consequences."

"And once I defeat the Kumo ninja, I will take the blame and resign as Hokage!"

Danzo felt happy, but his expression did not change at all.

However, Mito Kadoyan and Koharu who were sleeping in the dormitory were shocked when they heard this.

After turning to bed, Koharu quickly said: "Hiruzhan, you don't have to go to this level!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "We are getting older, it's time to give way to young people."

Koharu and Mito Kadoyan fell silent after hearing this.

Yes, they are indeed old.

This time the war has become clear, and it is indeed time to retreat.

"Since you have decided, Hiruzen, then so be it."

Mito Kadoyan said: "However, I am afraid that we need to carefully consider the choice of Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "Don't worry, I have already considered this."

Chapter 167 The battle for the eight tails! (Please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

After Danzo and the three left, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to the Hokage's office. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Shinnosuke, let Minato come."

"understand!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's voice sounded.

After a while, Namikaze Minato knocked on the door and came in: "The Third Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly and said: "Iwagakure is already mobilizing heavy troops. It will be a matter of time before Kumogakure retreats, so I will promote peace talks as soon as possible."

Namikaze Minato nodded in understanding.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "So, the four-tailed old man will also use it as a bargaining chip for peace talks with Iwa Ninja."

This was within Namikaze Minato's expectation, but he still asked: "Will it be returned after the peace talks are reached?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "This depends on the outcome of the peace talks."

"However, in order to end the war as soon as possible, it is inevitable to make some concessions. In the case of one tail, pulling out the four tails should not have any adverse effects on Shuichi."

"Minato, you have to explain it to Shuichi after you arrive at the Kumo-nin battlefield. I hope he can understand the village's difficulties."

Namikaze Minato nodded: "I understand."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said again: "There is one more thing Minato you must be prepared for."

"After the war is over, I will step down as Hokage. At that time, I will nominate you to the Daimyo to take over and become the fourth generation Hokage."

Namikaze Minato couldn't help being shocked after hearing this: "The Third Hokage, you are still in your prime, there is no need to retire so soon, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen is 54 years old this year, which is indeed not particularly old.

The third Tsuchikage and the third Mizukage were even a few years older than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a smile: "You performed very well in this war and you have grown enough."

"Besides, if there is no benefit for the village, of course, as Hokage, you should also bear responsibility."

"In addition, before you are too old to move, I can teach you some more things at the beginning of your succession to make the transition between the two generations more stable."

"This matter is settled, Minato, get ready!"

Namikaze Minato nodded solemnly: "Yes, I understand!"

……

After leaving the Hokage Building, Minato Namikaze walked slowly.

After a brief excitement, he calmed down and thought deeply: "It seems that Danzo is attacking the Sandaime. Is he using the return of the tailed beast as an excuse?"

"Speaking of which, it was Shuichi who proposed the return of the Sand Ninja Tailed Beast..."

Namikaze Minato frowned: "Three years...if Shuichi can't solve the problem within three years, then he will have to find other ways."

"You have to prepare in advance."

"Tailed beast experiment..."

……

Three days passed in a flash, and Minato Namikaze, who had enjoyed a brief two-person world with Kushina Uzumaki at home, hurriedly embarked on his journey again.

This time he did not take Kakashi and the other three, but took part of the reinforcements northward.

As for the three Kakashi, Kakashi is still the captain and leads the team south to fight the Mist Ninja.

Cloud ninja battlefield.

"Minato-sensei!"

Seeing Namikaze Minato Hoshige Shuichi was extremely happy.

"Shuichi, you've grown a little taller."

Namikaze Minato came to Hoshita Shuichi and asked: "How is the battle going?"

Hoshixia Xiuichi said: "We have a slight upper hand, but we cannot continue to advance due to troop shortages."

However, Namikaze Minato saw clearly: "Shuichi, you haven't fully demonstrated your strength yet, have you?"

"With the main body holding the AB combination, no one in the clone can stop you, right?"

After hearing this, Shuichi Hoshita laughed and said: "Teacher, you underestimate the AB combination, and now there is an additional ninja with a melting escape blood successor, who can use chakra to turn into rubber, and the defense is very good, whether it is against thunder escape, Fire escape, or wind escape."

Namikaze Minato was not confused at all and said: "Shuichi, you want to capture the Eight-Tails?"

Hoshita Shuichi put away his smile: "Although it's basically impossible, I still have to give it a try."

"Even if you have to give it back in the end."

Namikaze Minato nodded and said seriously: "Leave that competitive son of the Third Raikage to the teacher!"

Hoshixia Xiuyi smiled: "That's exactly what I meant!"

……

An hour later, as Shuichi Hoshita appeared at the forefront, AB combination and Toshiro also appeared quickly.

Everyone is used to it during this time.

But today is obviously different.

Namikaze Minato immediately waved his hand, and a large number of flying thunder god kunai were scattered out.

This style is too familiar to Kumo Ninja.

Tsuchishiro's gaze immediately sharpened: "This hair color, could it be..."

Not only him, but other Kumo ninjas also discovered it.

"The same teleportation technique, wouldn't it be Konoha's yellow flash?"

"Tushiro, we're in trouble now."

"Should we withdraw?"

Toshiro looked solemn and said to Ai: "Ai, retreat temporarily. The one next to Shuichi Hoshita should be his teacher Minato Namikaze, who masters the same yellow flash of teleportation technique."

Ai's eyes fell on Namikaze Minato: "The same teleportation technique... It was this guy who completed the task of retrieving the Nine-Tails by himself back then."

"Then we need to learn a lesson. It's best to deal with them all at once."

Kirabi immediately said: "Don't worry, big brother and I are here, there will be no problem, idiot, bastard!"

Although he can't win, his momentum must not be weakened.

Since their debut, AB group has never run away without a fight.

Moreover, during this time, they have become thoroughly familiar with this instantaneous technique.

Ai said: "Tushiro, take someone to hold down that Uchiha and that troublesome woman."

Toshiro nodded helplessly.

"Then... come on!"

The strong electric light wrapped around Ai's body went straight to the Bo Feng Shui Gate.

As soon as he moved, Hoshita Shuichi also entered the fire escape chakra mode. He jumped into the air, purple lotus blossoms bloomed on his body, and he broke through the air and went straight to the eight-tailed Kirabi.

At the same time, Uchiha Shisui and Asuka also rushed out.

Toshiro immediately intercepted it with two Kumo ninjas.

The other Konoha ninjas and Kumo ninjas also faced each other, but they all invariably stayed away from the battlefield in the middle.

shhhhhh!

The tails wrapped in chakra shot through the star like spears.

With full combat power, Hoshixia Shuichi danced like a blue-purple butterfly. After avoiding the tail attack, he activated the Fire Nether Lock.

Wow!

Chains whizzed out, wrapping and locking the dancing tails. The tailed beast chakra on the tails suddenly collapsed and faded away bit by bit.

At this time, Kirabi had already turned into a half-tailed beast. He opened his mouth and fired a tailed beast jade towards Hoshixia Shuichi in mid-air.

Hoshita Shuichi raised his left hand, and the technique spread out from the palm of his hand. After the tailed beast jade arrived, the space suddenly sunk, and then disappeared.

"Bi, this guy has hidden his strength. The first and fourth tails are indeed inside his body. He is even more dangerous than before!"

The eight-tailed cow ghost shouted a reminder.

This move was something Hoshita Shuichi had never shown before.
