Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 538 Minato Namikaze's Path to Power

Often, the methods some people use are not so sophisticated at all.

Or, to put it another way, the political struggles depicted on television may exist in reality, but more often, it's easier and cheaper to spread rumors to severely damage someone's reputation.

Minato Namikaze originally intended to use brute force to overpower his opponent and simply crush them all.

However, thinking of his wife, Minato Namikaze abandoned the idea of ​​directly and forcefully suppressing her.

Or rather, even if a strong crackdown were necessary, he wouldn't need to take action himself.

The word "Whirlpool" in Kushina Uzumaki's name is very prestigious.

This is why these people went crazy and wanted to completely shut down Minato Namikaze within a day or two.

Because once Kushina Uzumaki arrives in the Land of Whirlpools, they will no longer be able to do such things.

They never expected that Minato Namikaze would do nothing at all, wait for them to finish their framing, and then simply close the door, letting Kushina Uzumaki confront these people.

What kind of game is this? Don't you know that using a shrewish, street-smart persona in political struggles is against the rules?!

Minato Namikaze said, "I don't know. It was Kushina Uzumaki who wanted to confront you. It has nothing to do with me. How long have I been here? I don't know anything."

The officials of the Land of Whirlpools were completely dumbfounded.

As mentioned before, due to Kushina Uzumaki's special status, these people rose to power more or less because they said that their Uzumaki clan's princess had been wronged in Konoha. Therefore, they wanted to oppose Konoha, and on this basis, they were elected by the people of the Land of Whirlpools to represent them in fighting against Konoha.

Therefore, the area under these people's buttocks is more or less thanks to Kushina Uzumaki.

These people never expected that Kushina Uzumaki would return one day.

Didn't they say that Kushina Uzumaki deeply resented the elders of the Land of Whirlpools and therefore didn't want to return?!

Why is that brat back now?!

If we were to say what Kushina Uzumaki was to the Land of Whirlpools, she would probably be like the people of Konoha Village whom Tsunade helped in the original manga.

She usually keeps a low profile, but if something goes wrong, the position of Hokage will be vacant. As long as Tsunade appears, she will be the most powerful first in line to succeed her as Hokage.

What does "Konoha Princess" mean? (Leans back tactically)

Well, if we were to summarize it, then one term would suffice—the runaway princess.

Yes, Princess.

Kushina Uzumaki is undoubtedly the runaway princess of the Uzumaki clan.

This is beyond doubt, and it is something that the descendants of the elders of these Whirlpool Country have to admit.

So when Kushina Uzumaki kicked open her front door and said she was looking for someone, these people had no choice but to greet her with smiles.

Some people might say, aren't they Kushina Uzumaki's elders?

Oh, excuse me, strictly speaking, it is the fathers of these people who are Kushina Uzumaki's elders, that is, the previous generation of clan elders.

When these people came out, Kushina Uzumaki had to hold her nose and bow.

As for their sons and descendants...

From the perspective of her Uzumaki clan identity, Kushina Uzumaki is the current princess of the Uzumaki clan, acknowledged by Mito Uzumaki herself. She is a sacrifice who saved the entire Land of Whirlpools and represented the Land of Whirlpools in developing a friendly alliance with Konoha.

Although Kushina Uzumaki currently resides in Konoha, no one can deny that fact.

And just how prestigious is this status?

Well, let's put it this way: if Kushina Uzumaki were to suddenly lose her mind and stand in front of Yua, then make Yua bow to her, Yua would have no choice but to accept it and respectfully bow to her.

It's the kind of courtesy that the people of a country are expected to show to the princess of that country's royal family.

Because Kushina Uzumaki was personally recognized by Mito Uzumaki as the successor to the Nine-Tails, and was the princess of the Uzumaki clan, while Mito Uzumaki was the wife of the founder of Konoha Village, it's that simple.

Yes, that's right, there's not even the factor that Mito Uzumaki is Yua's teacher's wife in this.

If we take this factor into account, then Yua and Kushina Uzumaki can at most be considered peers. Yua is more than twenty years older than Kushina, but they are still peers.

If you calculate it this way, Kushina Uzumaki's seniority in Konoha is already so terrifying. What if she returned to the Land of Whirlpools?

Yes, it can only get more terrifying.

Therefore, you can probably understand what these high-ranking officials from various departments of the Land of Whirlpools are afraid of.

This also makes it easier to understand why Kushina Uzumaki was able to kick down the door and cause trouble for these people.

The elders of the Uzumaki clan, the fathers of these people, were at most of the same generation as Kushina Uzumaki. Even if Kushina Uzumaki revealed her identity as the princess of the Uzumaki clan, they would have to accept it with a stiff nose and then respectfully bow to her.

If our parents were like this, then these people are even more likely to be.

Each little karaomi is fine.

Then Kushina Uzumaki visited each of them one by one, causing a huge scene in almost every house, smashing countless things, and making the whole country of Uzushiogakure aware of the incident.

However, one very strange thing is that no one knows why Kushina Uzumaki went to smash these people's things.

Or rather, what is the real reason? These people are using all their positions to frantically suppress influence.

They even spent countless hours and money to suppress the TV station in the Land of Whirlpools.

Strictly speaking, the television station in the Land of Whirlpools is controlled by former representatives of the Konoha faction.

However, after so many years of development, the Uzushiogakure TV station has continued to expand and now has a total of 3,000 employees, most of whom are from Uzushiogakure.

Therefore, during Mitokado Hoshi's reign, he only firmly held onto decision-making and personnel power, while delegating all other powers.

Otherwise he would be exhausted.

After Minato Namikaze succeeded to the position, he theoretically took over the power of the television station and other departments in the Land of Whirlpools.

However, out of a department of three thousand people, two thousand nine hundred are natives of the Land of Whirlpools. These people have been united to isolate Minato Namikaze. Are you, Minato Namikaze, going to fire us all?

The law does not punish the masses.

Therefore, this time, the television station of the Land of Whirlpools, the strongest media machine in the Land of Whirlpools, also sided with the people of the Land of Whirlpools.

Minato Namikaze felt somewhat helpless about this, but he also understood that he had to resolve the matter.

Kushina Uzumaki will also help Minato Namikaze regain control of the television station.

What Minato Namikaze didn't know was that what he did in the Land of Whirlpools was already known to everyone in the world.
