I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't need your approval.

Secondly, the ninja academy's curriculum was changed from three years during the war to six years. The first six years were for building a solid foundation, and the last three years were for trainee ninjas who learned in various fields.

The two reform projects immediately sparked discussion among the Jonin, who all looked towards Fugaku, Hiashi, and Shinnosuke, the head of the Sarutobi clan.

The impact of these two reforms on them was negligible.

However, the impact on powerful clans was almost fatal. Although they sent their members to ninja academies, they secretly trained many ninjas.

Although these ninjas did not undergo comprehensive training, they possessed the strength of genin and chunin.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it represents the heritage of a powerful clan.

Upon hearing this, even the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who secretly supported Minato, couldn't help but frown. Fugaku and Hiashi, who each formed their own factions, were even more concerned.

"We support the Fourth Hokage's reforms to make ninjas more elite, but the fighting on the border of Kumogakure has not yet stopped, and there is a risk of a large-scale war at any time. Isn't it too early to do this now?"

"Moreover, nine years of education is too long. Even if we agree, our tribesmen will not."

"Many children whose parents died in the war didn't have the money to receive nine years of education, and they all wanted to become ninjas as quickly as possible..."

Faced with these overt and covert obstacles, Minato Namikaze said gently and calmly:

"The village will be responsible for funding the education of ninjas. As for the risk of war, I think it won't happen again for a while. The delegation from Kumogakure is already on its way."

At this moment, Hyuga Hizashi, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Everyone, just half a month ago, the Fourth Hokage, Shisui, and I secretly went out on a mission and together we repelled the AB group and destroyed the Cloud Village camp."

"At a crucial moment in the battle, the Fourth Hokage transferred the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball to the Cloud Village camp..."

"Tailed Beast Transfer Ball..."

Upon hearing this, the group of Jonin were all taken aback. They knew that the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique was very strong, but they did not expect that it could actually transfer the Tailed Beast Ball, which was a powerful weapon with an extremely long range.

After all, the attack range of a Jinchuriki's Tailed Beast Ball is only a few dozen kilometers, but if they use the Flying Thunder God Technique, it might reach hundreds of kilometers. This terrifying mobility is simply invincible.

It's likely that Konoha won't experience another large-scale war before the Fourth Hokage dies of old age.

Moreover, they didn't want to completely anger the Fourth Hokage, in case the Tailed Beast Ball ended up on their clan's land one day.

After pulling their wandering thoughts back, Fugaku and Hiashi looked at Shisui and Hizashi, and couldn't help but frown, revealing a wary look in their eyes.

When did Shisui and Hizashi become the Fourth Generation's people?

Shisui was a pro-peace faction member of the Uchiha clan, while Hizashi was the leader of the Hyuga branch family.

They had no doubt that if they disobeyed, Shisui and Rizashi would become ticking time bombs within the clan. In terms of strength and status, these two were practically the second most powerful figures in the clan.

After a moment of contemplation, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio stepped forward first to express their willingness to obey the Hokage's orders.

Fugaku and Hiashi followed closely behind, but the Sarutobi clan seemed somewhat hesitant. They considered themselves the Hokage clan, and there was a retired Hokage in their family, but their status was far less than before.

Not only were the clan's ninjas expelled from the Anbu, but their mission quotas were also significantly reduced.

After the Jonin meeting, Minato Namikaze returned to the Hokage's office, stood on the balcony, and looked at the peaceful and quiet Konoha in the distance, just as the Third Hokage often did.

However, he didn't have the bad habit of smoking.

However, he was quite satisfied with his actions over the past few months. He had imprisoned Danzo, obtained full power as Hokage, reformed the Ninja Academy, and also put the Hyuga and Uchiha clans in check.

Next, he only needs to get through the crisis of the Nine-Tailed Night, and then he can take a break for a while.

Before he went to Loulan to carry out the mission, Obito had already faked his death, and during the mission to rescue Nohara Rin, he did not find his disciple.

If possible, he hoped to stop Obito's insane behavior.

Although Obito's attack on the village, his manipulation of Itachi Uchiha, and his indirect role in the annihilation of the Uchiha clan are horrifying, none of this actually happened, and there is still room for redemption.

All I need to do is defeat Obito with overwhelming force and then wake him up.

If Obito can truly be persuaded to change his mind, Konoha will possess fighting power surpassing the other four great ninja villages, and future reforms will proceed more smoothly.

Just then, Minato Namikaze suddenly heard a rustling sound.

The Flying Thunder God Technique vanished from its spot, and Minato Namikaze appeared on the top of the Hokage Building, only to discover that the noise was caused by a black cat that happened to be passing by.

Am I being too sensitive?

After looking around and finding nothing, Minato Namikaze frowned.

However, on second thought, it's possible that Obito was spying on people. It's quite normal for Obito, who has mastered space-time abilities, to be active near the village.

We still need to find a way to control Obito's time-space; I need to go find Kakashi.

Chapter 334 When the Dragon Vein Returns, Minato's Memories Were Not Sealed (8)

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time for Kushina to give birth.

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of the village and the wife of the Fourth Hokage, Kushina's childbirth was considered a major event. Not only were a large number of Anbu members dispatched to protect her, but the location of the birth was also a top secret of Konoha.

Inside a small cabin in the Great Forest of Konoha.

Kushina was lying weakly on the bed, with Sarutobi Biwako, who was in charge of delivering the baby, and several female medical ANBU members beside her. They were making the final preparations before the delivery.

Half an hour later, the baby started crying.

A figure emerged from the vortex, staring expressionlessly at Kushina and Naruto ahead. He slowly took out a chain and wrapped it around his arm.

"Assassin! Someone wants to assassinate Kushina!"

Sarutobi Biwako shouted and immediately stood in front of Kushina.

Without even glancing at Sarutobi Biwako, Obito struck her in the abdomen with a wooden spike, rendering her unable to fight. He then caught the infant Naruto in his swaddling clothes and looked at the pale-faced Kushina.

He didn't actually want to attack Kushina, but the combination of the Fourth Generation couple was just too strong.

If they were still alive, the chances of the Eye of the Moon plan being realized were extremely slim. For the sake of everyone's final happiness, he could only endure the pain for the time being, since there was no need for this hellish world to exist anyway.

Then, ignoring the ANBU members who were rescuing Biwako, Obito walked straight towards Kushina.

Just then, accompanied by a flash of light, Minato Namikaze appeared in front of Obito, looking solemnly at the little Naruto covered in explosive tags in Obito's hand.

"Yellow flash, I'm curious, would you choose your wife or your son?"

After saying that, Obito tossed the swaddling clothes up and then teleported towards Kushina's location, but was blocked by Minato Namikaze.

Obito took the swaddling clothes, ignoring the explosive tags on them, and said with a light laugh, "It seems you care more about your wife. It's just a pity that the fruit of your love with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is going to die today."

However, in the next moment, Obito's expression changed.

The little Naruto in his arms transformed into a 1.8-meter-tall white-haired giant. His white hair instantly hardened like iron and stabbed towards Obito at an extremely fast speed.

Obito, unable to dodge in time, was pierced by the hair, and his arm was torn off.

Obito stared at Jiraiya beside him in disbelief. Hadn't Jiraiya left Konoha a week ago? Why was he here, disguised as a baby?

Is it really possible for a ninja to disguise themselves as a baby?

Before he could think too much, two Rasengans came one after another. The huge impact overturned the cabin and severely damaged Obito's body.

Half of the body's bones were shattered, and the other half was crushed into mud.

Despite the excruciating pain, Obito used his Hollowfication ability, keeping a close eye on Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya while also trying to find a way to escape.

Since newborn babies are fake, maybe Kushina is fake too.

This was all a trap set for him, but when was he exposed?

Thinking of this, Obito's face turned extremely ugly. In the past six months, first, he tried to lure the Akatsuki into corruption, and the plan to kill Yahiko failed. Now, the plan to unleash the Nine-Tails' chaos has also failed. The only success was with Kirigakure. He successfully killed the Third Mizukage, but controlling the new Mizukage will take time.

Why am I so unlucky? Not only am I unable to protect Lin, but my other plans have also failed.

Faced with Obito's Hollowfication ability, Jiraiya initially tried to attack, but after it quickly became ineffective, he simply summoned Fukasaku and Shima Sage on the spot to prepare to enter Sage Mode.

Minato Namikaze arranged countless Flying Thunder God seals around him, looking at Obito, who was barely holding on, with an extremely complicated expression.

He already knew about Obito's attack on the village, but what he heard was completely different from what he actually saw.

When Obito used explosive tags on Naruto, he showed no mercy whatsoever. He even tried to get close to Kushina and unleash the Nine-Tails to destroy the village that had raised him.

How exactly did Obito become so twisted?

Five minutes passed quickly, and as the intangibility duration reached its limit, Obito couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

After finding an opening, Obito couldn't help but unleash Kamui.

In that instant, Minato Namikaze appeared behind Obito, his Flying Thunder God kunai pointed at Obito's throat, and he whispered:

"Give up the fight, you've already lost!"

Obito remained expressionless and unmoved, continuing to activate his power as he tried to leave the area.

Unable to stand by and watch, Jiraiya appeared directly in front of Obito and shredded Obito's heart with a kunai. Obito's body fell slowly to the ground like a kite.

"Minato, you hesitated just now! That's not like you at all!"

Jiraiya frowned as he spoke, but he vaguely guessed that Minato seemed to know the assassin, so he didn't say anything more to Minato, but just patted Minato on the shoulder.

Just then, Jiraiya and Minato both looked down at the ground, and Obito's body had vanished.

……

On the other side, Obito, who had used Izanagi to escape, returned to the cabin.

From the moment he met Jiraiya, he used the Izanagi technique, and it proved to be the right decision. If he hadn't used the Izanagi technique, he would probably be dead by now.

However, he still has serious injuries and needs to receive treatment as soon as possible.

After glancing at the messy cabin, Obito found Sarutobi Biwako and the female ANBU undergoing treatment nearby, and immediately frowned.

The female ANBU also spotted Obito and said to Sarutobi Biwako, "Lord Biwako, you go first, I'll take care of this enemy!"

"This is an enemy that even the Fourth Hokage and Jiraiya Jr. found troublesome, and you..."

Sarutobi Biwako hesitated for a moment, but was lifted up by the female ANBU and thrown into the woods. She then raised her chakra scalpel and looked at Obito in front of her.

"Accept the illusion and heal my wounds! Or die!"

Obito spoke succinctly, then activated his Sharingan genjutsu.

Surprisingly, the Sharingan genjutsu had no effect on the female ANBU. She was only stunned for a moment before she pounced on him, her sharp chakra scalpel aimed at Obito's neck.

The enemy is now seriously injured. If we can buy enough time, Minato-sensei will be able to come to their rescue.

Faced with the female ANBU's attack, Obito snorted disdainfully and casually waved his hand, sending several wooden spikes flying towards the female ANBU at a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

The female operative was unable to dodge in time and was stabbed, letting out several muffled groans.

Despite the intense pain, he still aimed the scalpel at Obito.
