Crossover Anime: I'm Dominating Konoha, Sailing Through Bleach

"Now that things have come to this, what else do you have to worry about?"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he slowly stopped, put his hands behind his back, and turned to look at Minato Namikaze.

Upon hearing these words again, Minato Namikaze snapped out of his daze and could only shake his head helplessly.

"Third Hokage, I have already made a promise to Uchiha Ryosuke..."

He was still thinking about the promise he made to Uchiha Ryosuke.

Keeping a promise reflects a person's credibility.

To be honest, at this moment, Minato Namikaze was also very conflicted.

Becoming Hokage was his dream since childhood.

Protecting the village with his own strength and leading Konoha to a better future is also his grand ambition.

Now, I am about to realize this dream.

However, he had to relinquish the Hokage position because of an agreement.

This is indeed not an easy task.

Seeing him fall silent, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at him intently for a long while before offering a meaningful reminder: "Some things shouldn't be said too much."

"However, since you still have some concerns, I'll make things clear to you, Minato."

"The Uchiha clan is brave but lacks wisdom. Entrusting Konoha to their rule is not a wise choice..."

After saying that, he ignored Minato Namikaze's reaction and turned around to continue walking forward with his hands behind his back.

At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "The village needs to be restored in every way. What everyone needs is a wise leader to lead them out of their predicament and revitalize Konoha."

"If even you can't handle this task, then who in the village do you think can?"

The question posed by Hiruzen Sarutobi left Minato Namikaze speechless.

He hadn't thought about it.

Now that he was being asked this question, after thinking about it carefully, he realized the many related consequences involved in this matter.

If I don't become the Fourth Hokage, either Uchiha Ryosuke will take over, or another ninja from the village will become the Fourth Hokage.

The person whose prestige was second only to himself was Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin.

Whether it's Uchiha Ryosuke or Orochimaru, upon closer reflection, Minato Namikaze realized he didn't really understand them that well.

Entrusting the village to someone you don't understand certainly doesn't seem like a wise choice.

"If I'm unwilling to give up becoming the Fourth Hokage, how am I supposed to explain this to Uchiha Ryosuke?"

Minato Namikaze was filled with mixed feelings. Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi already walking away, he quickly flashed after him.

Now, we can only take it one step at a time and go back to Konoha first.

Uchiha Ryosuke used an advanced version of the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Konoha from the capital of the Fire Country's daimyo.

Holding the letter of appointment and statement personally written by the daimyo, Uchiha Ryosuke went directly to the two advisors of Konoha.

Looking at the letter of appointment laid out before him, and the handwritten letter from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire revoking Minato Namikaze's appointment as the Fourth Hokage.

At this moment, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado both had extremely solemn expressions.

Chapter 61 Ryosuke's Terrifying Ambitions! Shisui's Instantaneous Movement! Minato Namikaze!

"So you really intend to become the Fourth Hokage?"

Koharu, her brows furrowed, looked up at Ryosuke Uchiha.

Mitokado Yan also chimed in, "Do you know how to handle village affairs?"

Being Hokage isn't as simple and easy as just sitting in an office.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ryosuke smiled slightly.

He didn't speak, but instead walked around the long conference table and turned to stand behind the two advisors, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

He reached out and put his hands on their shoulders.

Uchiha Ryosuke could clearly feel that both of his advisors trembled slightly.

"Isn't this the time for you two veteran advisors to step in?"

"At your age, you should be retiring and enjoying your retirement..."

The village is still spending a lot of money to support you, not so you can give me problems, but to help me solve them.

These words caused Koharu Utatane and Homura Mito to exchange a glance.

The two men knew that they were completely under the control of this younger man, and that protesting now would be a foolish act.

Danzo Shimura, that old scoundrel, didn't care about the life or death of Konoha at all; he was extremely selfish.

He planned to sit back and watch the two tigers fight, observing the battle between the Uchiha clan and Minato Namikaze, the rightful heir.

Who can't see through this little scheme?

Since we can't rely on that cunning old man, we can only rely on Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage.

And then Minato Namikaze, the future legitimate candidate for Fourth Hokage, returned and dealt with it himself.

At the same time, he hoped that Uchiha Ryosuke wouldn't make the problem too big.

"We are advisors to the village, and one of our main responsibilities is to assist the Hokage..."

"Providing guidance to the Hokage to better govern the village is certainly not a dereliction of duty."

"Alright, since you all know your responsibilities, there's no need to say anything more."

Uchiha Ryosuke waved his hand, interrupting Mitokado Homura's voice.

He had barely finished speaking when a squad leader from the secret service appeared in front of them and knelt down on one knee.

"Report, the Third Hokage and Minato have arrived at the village entrance."

The squad leader of the secret service reported to Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi have returned.

This news made Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu feel a pang of anxiety.

Next came the direct confrontation between the Uchiha clan and the Third Hokage's forces.

Minato Namikaze was Jiraiya's disciple in 05 and was also the most popular candidate for the Fourth Hokage.

He could even be considered the handpicked successor to the Hokage.

Jiraiya was a disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He would naturally side with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If this matter is not handled carefully, it could lead to a fierce internal struggle within the village, resulting in bloodshed and further damage to the village's vitality.

But now, the two of them can only grit their teeth and wait silently for things to develop.

The fate of Konoha Village is unpredictable.

Uchiha Ryosuke glanced at the two advisors, then at the ANBU squad leader, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Now that the Hokage has returned, let's go to his office and wait for them."

After saying that, he turned and left the conference room, heading towards the Hokage's office.

The underground headquarters of the Root organization.

Orochimaru crossed his arms and leaned against a stone pillar, silently watching the ANBU captain kneeling in front of Shimura Danzo.

The other party had just reported the whereabouts of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze to Danzo Shimura.

The two had returned from the capital of the Fire Country and were now at the village entrance.

"Lord Danzo, are we really not going to make a move?"

"The Third Hokage and Minato Namikaze have returned, which means they may clash with the Uchiha clan."

"After all, Uchiha Ryosuke has already essentially stepped on the Third Hokage's head..."

The squad leader, wearing a vest and a painted face mask, asked Shimura Danzo for his opinion in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura calmly replied, "It would be a terrible idea for us to directly participate in this conflict."

"All we really need to do is wait here."

"The Uchiha clan is extremely arrogant, believing that producing a genius ninja means they can run rampant in the village. They are utterly disdainful and conceited..."

"In that case, let the future Fourth Hokage have a good talk with them."

As he said this, Danzo Shimura couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Minato Namikaze was also a genius ninja.

The name "Golden Flash" struck fear into the hearts of rival ninjas, who would flee at the mere sight of him.

Now that he's in charge, along with Hiruzen Sarutobi's elite troops...

While defeating the Uchiha might not be a sure thing.

However, inflicting maximum damage on the Uchiha clan and causing them heavy losses is something they can definitely do.

Once they are both severely weakened, I will then send people to suppress the Uchiha clan's rebellion.

Then all the credit will be yours.

At that time, either I will become Hokage myself, or someone I have chosen as my trusted confidant will become Hokage.

In short, the ultimate power in Konoha will most likely fall into his own hands.

Thinking of this, Shimura Danzo raised his eyes and glanced slightly at Orochimaru.

"You should have already made contact with that brat, right?"

Danzo Shimura asked.

These words snapped Orochimaru out of his reverie.

He glanced at Shimura Danzo without changing his expression, but his tone and demeanor were no longer as relaxed as before:

"That kid's strength can only be described as unfathomable."

"This time, the Uchiha clan intends to seize power, which will likely cause a bloodbath in the village."

"Hehe... Your plans and goals are most likely to be achieved."

Finally, Orochimaru revealed his signature wicked smile.

The Yellow Flash battles the genius of the Uchiha clan.

He was also eager to know who was more capable between the two.

...

The news has spread that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze have returned to Konoha.

Uchiha Shisui, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation in the entire village, noticed it immediately.

At this moment, he left the Uchiha clan and stopped monitoring them as ordered by Danzo Shimura.

Instead, they went directly to find Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze.

The two were walking towards the Hokage Building.

While passing through a secluded road, they were stopped by Uchiha Shisui.

"Still water?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi slightly raised his head, and as his hat brim rose, he saw the boy opposite him.

"Lord Sandai, Minato-senpai."

Uchiha Shisui greeted him politely, but his solemn expression betrayed all his worries.

Minato Namikaze could tell at a glance that something was wrong.

"What's wrong? Shisui?"

he asked.
