The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

Even if the conditions were relaxed a little, it would definitely not be excessive if one-tenth of Konoha's people were wiped out.

Faced with this situation, Minato's idea was to let bygones be bygones.

As long as they could ensure that they would cut off contact with Orochimaru in the future, he decided not to pursue any action against those who had had contact with Orochimaru.

However, as soon as Minato put forward this idea, it was strongly opposed by the elders.

Among them, Danzo was particularly prominent, as he was the one who firmly opposed Minato's policy.

Mitokado En and Utane Koharu also stood on Danzo's side this time.

It was only until the Third Hokage could no longer stand it and stood up again to support Minato's suggestion that the policy was finally passed.

Because strictly speaking, the Third Hokage still had feelings for Orochimaru, even though his most proud disciple had defected.

But after this happened, Minato finally realized one thing.

That is, the power coming from the Elders is too great!

How great is this right?

It is no exaggeration to say that without the support of the Third Hokage, if the three advisory elders united

Resist your own words.

Then the policy he wanted to implement wouldn't even get out of the Hokage's office!

It is easy to imagine how exaggerated this right is.

Even every time Minato wanted to issue an order as Hokage, the three elders would come over to ask.

This also made Minato feel extremely depressed!

For the first time, he realized that even as the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, he was still unable to reform many things as he had imagined.

This also gave Minato an idea, which was to find a way to reduce the power of the Advisory Elders.

This leads to the third trouble Minato is currently facing.

Since he wanted to reduce the power of the Advisory Elders, he had to find someone to start with, and the person Minato chose was Danzo.

Not to mention now, even during the Anbu period, Minato had wanted to cause trouble for Danzo several times, but was stopped by the Third Hokage every time.

In Minato's opinion, Konoha already has the Anbu, and the Root's weaving that is too deeply rooted in darkness should be cancelled!

However, when Minato made this suggestion, even the Third Hokage expressed his opposition this time.

In the words of the Third Hokage, a Hokage cannot bear the darkness. In this case, the only one who can bear this darkness is Danzo, the leader of the Root.

This time, the policy proposed by Minato was directly opposed by the three elders and the Third Hokage.

However, Minato had already made up his mind, and this time no matter how the four people objected, he still insisted on his own opinion.

In the end, both parties parted on bad terms.

This incident also made the Third Hokage frown.

Although he knew that Minato's original intention was not wrong, the idea was too radical and could easily cause internal conflicts in the village.

In his opinion, Minato was still too young to have such an impulse.

He understood Minato's approach, but he disagreed with it.

This also caused some changes in the Third Hokage's original idea of ​​directly transferring all Anbu to Minato.

Whether it is the Hokage's Anbu or Danzo's Root, both are composed of four teams with a total of sixty-eight people.

The Third Hokage was worried that Minato would act too radically, so he only handed over a team of 17 Anbu members to Minato.

After all, Minato is the Fourth Hokage, and he can't really be left without anyone to work for him.

Therefore, the Third Hokage simply handed over the team that Minato had once served in the Anbu directly to Minato.

As for the remaining three Anbu teams, the Third Hokage planned to hand them over to Minato after he became more mature.

It can be said that the Third Hokage himself thought that what he did was for Minato's own good. ..

Of course, he had no problem with Minato. On the contrary, he saw his own shadow in Minato.

Also full of vitality, with the will of fire in his heart.

Moreover, the Third Hokage thought that Minato's idea was correct, but he thought that although Minato's idea was good, it was not the time to take a big step.

The Third Hokage's idea was also very simple, just one word: stable!

But Minato didn't think so. He believed that several other ninja villages were still in the midst of a war, and Konoha was taking this opportunity to reform and develop itself.

If this opportunity is missed, once the wars in other ninja villages subside, Konoha will not have such a good opportunity.

All I can say is that Minato and the Third Hokage had the same idea, but their approaches were different.

On this point, no matter who is right or wrong, Souji definitely supports Minato.

No reason, just because they are friends!

What are friends?

It's like when you're walking down the street and you see your friend fighting with someone else, you rush over to help him without hesitation.

Even if you find out that it is your friend who is wrong in the end, you will never regret what you have done.

As for the so-called right and wrong?

Is it important?

If I want to get hung up on what is right and wrong, why do I need friends? Can't I just go find a lawyer?

Therefore, no matter what decision Minato wants to make, Souji will express his support. I believe Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha En will feel the same as Souji.

Chapter 309 Cang Si's Idea

"So, you have something to do now, so that's why you come to bother me?" Minato said with an expression that said I knew it a long time ago.

"Uh, haha, since you said so, I'll just admit it openly." At the beginning, Cang Si was a little embarrassed and scratched his cheek with his fingers.

But I don't know what happened, but suddenly I became justified again.

This made Minato roll his eyes. It seemed that his friend was getting thicker and thicker as time went by.

However, after Souji's interruption, Minato, who was originally upset because of the troubles in the village, now calmed down a lot.

Sometimes, Minato felt that as long as he chatted with Souji, he could always forget a lot of his troubles.

Just like now, when Cang Si came, the two of them exchanged only two or three sentences, and now Minato no longer knew what worry was.

"Okay, tell me what you want to talk to me about. Also, in private situations in the future, don't call me Hokage to disparage me. I'm not used to hearing it." Minato said helplessly.

Hearing what Minato said, Souji did not refute.

To be honest, Cang Si also had this feeling. The two of them had been calling each other by their names for nearly 20 years.

This sudden change made Cang Si himself feel uncomfortable.

"My business is not urgent, let's talk about it later. But you, Minato, when I came in just now, I saw you were frowning. Is there anything that can stump you as the Hokage?" After joking with each other for a few words, Cang Si got down to business.

Minato was the Hokage after all, and he really didn't have time to chat with Souji about too many irrelevant topics, and that was because of their friendship, otherwise, Minato would still be buried in work documents.

"Ah, me? I'm really fine. You said I'm the Hokage. I can handle it. You don't have to worry, Souji." Minato obviously didn't expect Souji to say that. After a moment of silence, he reacted and answered.

"Hokage is also a human being, he is not omnipotent. Apart from his identity as Hokage, we are still friends, right? If there is something that we cannot handle, shouldn't we ask friends for help?

Look at me, when have I ever asked you for help, have I been so secretive like you are now?"

Souji looked at Minato and said disapprovingly.

"Friends, yes, we are friends! I'm sorry, Souji, after becoming Hokage, I really want to take care of everything by myself." Minato muttered to himself and replied with a guilty look on his face.

At the same time, Minato felt a warm feeling in his heart. It was great to have such a friend!

After letting go of his worries, Minato told Souji about the three troubles he had encountered since becoming Hokage.

After expressing all these troubles, Minato breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed.

In fact, if Souji hadn't asked about these things today, Minato would not have told anyone.

Even Uzumaki Kushina, who was with him day and night, was the same.

After all, Uzumaki Kushina is now pregnant, and Minato doesn't want to bring these bad things home and affect his pregnant wife.

That was why Minato chose to keep everything to himself and not reveal his current predicament to anyone.

"I can currently handle the issues of the Third War with Kumogakure and Orochimaru, and I've almost finished handling them. The only problem is the issue with the Council of Elders... Alas, with the Third Hokage protecting Danzo, I can't make any reforms at all." Minato said with a bit of distress.

Although the Third Hokage is now retired and at home, he has been the Hokage for so many years, and his influence on the village is simply incomparable to that of the newly appointed Minato.

Therefore, as long as the Third Hokage does not support Minato's decision, he will never be able to defeat the combined forces of the remaining elders.

The Third Hokage's current attitude is also very clear, that is, he supports whatever Minato does, with only one exception, and that is to mobilize the Council of Elders.

But this is exactly where the problem lies. If Minato wants to reform Konoha, the first step is to take action against the Council of Elders.

But this first

He was stopped by the Third Hokage, which made Minato helpless.

If things continue to be deadlocked like this, it will definitely be an unsolvable problem. Minato has thought of many ways to solve this problem, but in the end he still cannot bypass the Third Hokage.

However, Minato couldn't keep his temper with the Third Hokage, who supported him in everything except this matter.

It can be said that this is the conflict between Minato and the Third Hokage. Both sides took Konoha as their starting point, but the process was different.

Minato respected the Third Hokage very much, and the Third Hokage also supported Minato very much, but this was the only matter that both sides could not avoid.

"So that's how it is. The Council of Advisory Elders has too much power, which has restricted the Hokage's rule over Konoha." After listening to Minato's words, Souji said with his head down.

"Yes, that's the problem. The two elders, Mitomonen and Utane Koharu, are fine. It's not a big problem. It's just that Danzo and his Root, under the indulgence of the Third Hokage, have expanded too much in power over the years.

In addition, it would be fine if it was just a simple expansion of power, but Danzo is too ambitious.

He and the Root he led have now become the cancer of Konoha.

There is no denying that the existence of the roots has certain benefits to Konoha, but in comparison, the damage to Konoha is now even greater.

Therefore, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. I am going to cancel the weaving of Danzo's roots!"

Looking at Souji who was lost in thought, Minato expressed his thoughts with a firm look on his face.

To achieve this goal, it is undoubtedly too difficult for Minato, who has just come to power.

Now, he could only hope that Cang Si could help him come up with a good solution.

Otherwise, this project can only be completed with time.

But for Minato, what he lacks most now is time!

It is already February of the 48th year of Konoha. Uzumaki Kushina's due date is October, and the seal of the Nine-Tails will definitely be weakened by then.

From the information he got from the future Naruto last time, if he didn't prepare himself in the remaining time, he would most likely end up like himself in the parallel universe.

He didn't want to experience this result!

Minato now wants to deal with these things first, and then cooperate with Souji to deal with the day when Naruto is born wholeheartedly.

This is Minato's plan!

"Minato, what you said is indeed difficult to deal with, but it's not unsolvable. You just need to change your thinking." After thinking for a long time, Cang Si suddenly raised his head and said with a gleam in his eyes.

In fact, just now, in addition to thinking of ways to help Minato deal with the current situation, Cang Si was also thinking about other things.

About the Third Hokage!

Maybe it was because he saw too many conspiracy theories about the Third Hokage on the Internet in his previous life, so Cang Si originally didn't have much good feelings towards the Third Hokage.

Things like overriding Minato and treating him as a puppet, this was also how Souji initially viewed the Third Hokage.

But after what Minato said just now, Souji's impression of the Third Hokage changed.

This is an old man who, like Minato, is dedicated to developing Konoha, but many of his ideas are no longer in line with the times.

In addition, he may feel that Minato is too young and cannot handle the relationship between the village and the various ninja clans well, so he wants to help Minato transition to power smoothly.

However, from the perspective of outsiders like Cang Si, it seemed that the Third Hokage had good intentions but ended up with a bad result.

It was because the Third Hokage did it unintentionally that Minato was in such a difficult situation.

If the Third Hokage really had those conspiracy theories that Souji saw on the Internet in his previous life, it would be impossible for someone as smart as Minato not to see it.
