Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History

It was written next to it: The Fourth Hokage!

Minato Namikaze arrived at the scene at the last minute.

"It was timely enough."

Minato Namikaze was slightly out of breath. He had used the Body Flicker Technique to get here from Konoha, and although it had consumed a lot of chakra, he was relieved that he wasn't too late.

"Minato Namikaze?!"

Hanzo and Danzo exchanged a shocked glance, both wondering how the other could be here.

"What do we do now?"

Hanzo appeared slightly flustered. He thought that if he were in his prime, he might still have a fighting chance against the renowned "Yellow Flash" of the ninja world.

But now, time has left its mark on him, while Minato Namikaze is in his prime, and the odds of victory are slim.

"What's the panic? You, who claim to be a demigod, how could you be so frightened by a junior?"

Danzo glanced coldly at Hanzo and said indifferently, a barely perceptible hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.

It's Minato Namikaze again.

Why is it always him who ruins my plans?

When the Third Hokage abdicated, Orochimaru chose to betray the village and flee.

He was a strong contender for the position of Fourth Hokage, but then Minato Namikaze unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere.

Minato's dazzling military achievements even earned him the approval of the Daimyo, who considered him the best successor to the Hokage.

Even Danzo's attempts to obstruct the project, citing his young age and inability to shoulder heavy responsibilities, proved futile thanks to the support of the daimyo.

Minato successfully ascended to the Hokage throne.

In this way, his dream of becoming Hokage was completely shattered.

He took a step closer, his voice accusatory:

"Minato Namikaze, as the Hokage, you launched a silent night raid on the Land of Rain. Do you intend to ignite war between the two countries?"

"If war reignites, you will be the instigator of the feud between the two nations!"

Danzo's words were like a sharp sword aimed straight at the heart of his opponent.

Regardless of all that, let's just put the hat on first.

However, Minato did not evade the question; instead, he threw it back at Minato:

"Shouldn't you be the one to answer that, Elder Danzo?"

"You acted without the Hokage's permission, leading your team deep into the Land of Rain to interfere in its internal affairs. What is your true purpose?"

Minato's meaningful gaze made Danzo's heart tighten.

"Could it be that he discovered my plan to seize the Rinnegan?"

"No... I only recently learned of this information myself, how could he know?"

Danzo recently directed his subordinates to disguise themselves as Iwagakure ninja and instigate conflict with Amegakure in the Land of Rain, attempting to provoke a war between the two countries.

Unexpectedly, the randomly chosen target turned out to be the three leaders of the Akatsuki organization: Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.

In a critical moment, Nagato activated the power of the Rinnegan, summoning the Gedo Mazo to defeat Danzo, but also revealing the secret of the Rinnegan.

Thus, the current situation has become one where Danzo, in alliance with Hanzo, attempts to destroy the Akatsuki organization while simultaneously seeking an opportunity to seize the Rinnegan.

Of course, Danzo wouldn't confess.

He retorted angrily:

"What nonsense are you spouting! I have only one goal, and that is to uphold justice!"

"The Akatsuki organization has acted perversely, attacking its own ninjas despite being citizens of the Land of Rain, with the intention of expanding its organization and overthrowing the government of Amegakure."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yahiko, who was standing behind Minato, stepped forward angrily, pointing at Danzo:

"You're talking nonsense! We have never attacked any ninja from the Land of Rain!"

"Lord Hokage, he is deceiving you!"

Yahiko was extremely anxious, fearing that Minato Namikaze would be misled by Danzo's one-sided account.

At this moment, their only hope rested on the unexpected arrival of the Fourth Hokage.

Minato Namikaze turned his head to the side and smiled gently:

"Don't worry, my two junior brothers, I will definitely get justice for you."

"Junior brother... Junior brother?" Minato's address made Yahiko and Nagato pause slightly.

"Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, was also my teacher."

Upon hearing Minato's explanation, Yahiko suddenly understood.

"Ah... so you're the outstanding senior the teacher was talking about."

"Our teacher often mentions you. He says that in front of your senior, even the greatest genius pales in comparison."

"I never imagined that my senior brother would be the Fourth Hokage of Konoha! He's truly amazing!" Yahiko said, giving a thumbs up.

Now, a huge weight was lifted from his shoulders.

Anyone associated with Jiraiya is absolutely certain.

Chapter 8: Rescuing the Akatsuki and Killing Danzo

After calming Yahiko and Nagato down, Minato turned his gaze to Danzo on the hilltop.

"Elder Danzo, I have confirmed that this is a misunderstanding."

"Alright, you take your men back to the village first. I'll handle things here."

Minato spoke casually, but his words caused Danzo's face to darken like the calm before a storm.

Leave? He was only one step away from the legendary Rinnegan, how could he be willing to give up now?

"Minato Namikaze, are you saying that the lives of the Rain Country ninjas were lost in vain just because of a few words from you?"

Danzo remained fixated on the fabricated charge and clung to his hatred for the Akatsuki organization.

Seeing that Danzo was still clinging to this unfounded claim...

Minato Namikaze's expression immediately turned cold, showing no mercy and not even addressing him as "elder," calling him by his first name directly.

"Shimura Danzo, I don't want to waste words. You know best how Amegakure died."

"Now, as Hokage, I order you to immediately take your men back to Konoha."

This was tantamount to tearing apart the surface of peace, and Danzo's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He glared angrily at Hanzo beside him:

"You so-called demigod, others are causing trouble at your doorstep, and you don't even dare to say a word?"

He wanted to win over Hanzo so they could launch a full-scale attack on the Akatsuki.

Just as Hanzo was about to speak, Minato's voice rang out softly again:

"Lord Hanzo, this is an internal matter of Konoha. It would be best if you did not interfere."

These words carry a strong warning: Watching is fine, but taking action will come at a price.

After careful consideration, Hanzo decided to protect himself.

"I also believe this is a misunderstanding. Well then, I'll take my leave now. You can handle the rest yourselves."

Having said that, Hanzo resolutely led his men away without the slightest hesitation.

"you……"

Danzo was incredulous. Was this still the demigod who had once dominated the ninja world? He had actually backed down because of a junior?

Upon hearing Danzo's voice, Hanzo merely let out a cold snort.

Just kidding, I originally thought Akatsuki was a small organization with no powerful figures, someone I could probably mess with.

But they had the Fourth Hokage backing them up, so what was the point of fighting?

Just for the lives of a few so-called Rain Ninja?

Just kidding, don't take it seriously, bro.

With Hanzo gone, Danzo was left to face Minato Namikaze alone.

However, he clearly overestimated his own strength and underestimated Minato.

"Don't try to intimidate me with the title of Hokage. You're just a junior who climbed to the Hokage throne based on a few achievements."

"Today I will punish the wicked and uphold justice; the Akatsuki must be eliminated!" Danzo declared.

Minato lowered his eyes slightly and uttered only one word: "Oh?"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp kunai was already silently pressed against Danzo's throat, ready to pave a bloody path for him at any moment.
