Chapter 67 The Hokage's Destiny?

Not long after, the Hidden Cloud Village recognized Kushina's potential as a Jinchūriki and arranged for three powerful Hidden Cloud ninja to kidnap her.

"Hmph, how laughable. Does Yunyin even have that ability?"

Seeing three ninjas wearing Cloud Ninja headbands chasing after Kushina on the screen, Tobirama couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Yes, even if Konoha was weak at that time, it would not have been so easy for the Cloud Ninja to infiltrate, let alone kidnap a Jinchuriki."

Hiruzen Sarutobi agrees with Tobirama-sensei!

If a ninja village can be so easily infiltrated by ninjas from other villages, then what's the point of having gatekeepers or sensory barriers?

"I think the Third Hokage's goal was to turn the tables and take advantage of this great opportunity to help Minato Namikaze and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki establish a bond."

"That should be about right."

After thinking it over from the perspective of a Hokage, Tobirama agreed with Hiruzen's explanation.

"Next, it should be Minato's turn to rescue Kushina."

As expected, Lin Tian continued speaking as soon as Tobirama finished speaking.

This was a golden opportunity for Kushina to change her feelings towards him, and Minato certainly wouldn't let it slip by.

He successfully caught up with Kushina by using the red hair she left as a marker along the way.

[He also instantly dispatched three Cloud Ninjas, staging a "hero saves the beauty" scene.]

"Ha, just as I expected."

Hiruzen was delighted, pleased that he had guessed the Third Hokage's intentions correctly.

This indirectly shows that he now has the mindset of a Hokage.

Seeing Hiruzen grinning foolishly, Danzo, standing to the side, curled his lip in annoyance.

He was secretly furious, furious that he hadn't thought of that.

Danzo: Am I really not suited to be Hokage?

"Old man, did you arrange it this way on purpose back then?"

Looking at his disciple's valiant figure on the screen, the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, asked the Third Hokage, "Isn't this intention a little too obvious?"

It's quite obvious.

What kind of Cloud Ninja could infiltrate Konoha undetected?

That would definitely require a very strong ninja to do.

The three Cloud Ninja on the screen are most likely either Chunin or Genin; it's impossible that any of them are Jonin.

Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't have been instantly defeated by Minato, who had only recently graduated from the Ninja Academy.

However, this makes the logic a bit flawed.

How did three such incompetent Cloud Ninja manage to infiltrate Konoha, deceive the Anbu ninja protecting Kushina, and kidnap her?

"Forget whether it's obvious or not, just tell me if this trick works or not."

The Third Hokage did not deny it.

His strategy of turning the tables and going with the flow was simple, but it did achieve the result he wanted.

"Old ginger is spicier."

On the screen, Lin Tian also briefly expressed his opinion on the incident.

This whole thing is ridiculous. Putting everything else aside, the ninjas that Kumogakure sends to Konoha to kidnap people are at least Chunin or Anbu members.

Given Minato's strength upon graduating from the Ninja Academy, it would have been impossible for him to defeat these three Cloud Ninja, let alone instantly kill them.

[Minato's actions clearly illustrate that true geniuses don't become strong at a certain stage; they're exceptionally talented from a young age.]

Kushina, who was quite arrogant before, has become dependent on Minato ever since he saved her.

[Minato also publicly declared in Konoha that Kushina was his woman, and that these rotten tomatoes and eggs had better not even think about making a move on her.]

[At this point, the domineering CEO Minato has achieved a perfect score in winning over Kushina.]

"It seems my future disciple is quite the ladies' man."

Jiraiya looked at Minato on the screen, who had won the heart of the beauty, and his tone was full of envy and jealousy.

I envy him for being able to be with the person he loves.

They were also jealous that his heroic rescue of the damsel in distress had succeeded.

Last month, Jiraiya asked Orochimaru for help, asking him to disguise himself and harass Tsunade, staging a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario.

He had a good plan: when Tsunade was in danger and at a loss, Jiraiya would make a dazzling appearance and quickly drive away the thugs who wanted to harm Tsunade.

In this way, after seeing his manly appearance, Tsunade will definitely look at him with new eyes and fall in love with him.

Jiraiya's plan was good, but the final result was somewhat off.

At that time, Tsunade had lost money and was already furious.

Just then, Orochimaru, disguised, jumped out and delivered a powerful kick that knocked Orochimaru unconscious.

Jiraiya, who was running from a distance, thought things were going well and happily ran over.

However, Tsunade stood there unhappily, while Orochimaru lay sprawled on the ground.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

It's just that Tsunade didn't think much of it at the time, otherwise Jiraiya would have broken several ribs.

With a sigh, Jiraiya turned his head and looked at Tsunade with deep affection.

He vowed that no matter what means he had to use, he would win Tsunade's heart.

Perhaps it was because Jiraiya's gaze was too intense that Tsunade sensed something and looked at Jiraiya, immediately getting goosebumps all over her body.

"Jiraiya, what kind of look is that? Don't you know it's disgusting?"

After saying that, Tsunade showed her fist to Jiraiya.

It means, if you dare look at me like that again, I'll give you a good workout afterwards.

Thinking of his own life, Jiraiya gave an embarrassed smile and looked back at the light screen.

As time went on, Minato became a Jonin instructor, leading three subordinates.

They are: Rin Nohara, Obito Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake.

"Unexpectedly, the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' rampage gift package mentioned in the previous episodes was actually a student of the Fourth Hokage."

At the time, Tobirama did not know that Obito was a subordinate of the Fourth Hokage.

Now that he knew this, he suddenly had a very strange idea.

Without the intervention of the light barrier, the Third Hokage would have died at the hands of his own disciple, Orochimaru.

The Fourth Hokage also died at the hands of his own student.

Although he, the Second Hokage, did not die directly at the hands of his own disciple, he was killed by the Cloud Village ninjas Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

But he died while covering the retreat of his six disciples.

If it weren't for these six disciples, he wouldn't have needed to protect them, and he wouldn't have died.

He could be said to have died indirectly at the hands of his disciple.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the position of Hokage cannot accept disciples.

Taking it in would mean certain death.

Just like fate.

With that in mind, Tobirama made a decision.

If the Fifth and Sixth Hokage were to die directly or indirectly at the hands of their own disciples, then he would add a new rule.

That is, if you want to become Hokage, you can't have disciples.

What? You're saying Tobirama couldn't possibly be that superstitious?

Hehe, it's free anyway, so why not give it a try?
