The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

Therefore, Cang Si is now considered one of the five most honorable people in the five major ninja villages!

Minato couldn't help but smile when he saw Souji's resentful eyes.

"Cang Si, you are really something. Others are obsessed with the position of Mizukage, but you are able to reach this position, and you actually despise it?

Think about it, it was much harder for me to become the Hokage than it was for you to become the Mizukage!"

What Minato said was indeed true.

Whether it was other ninjas' pursuit of the position of Kage, or how he had struggled to become Hokage in the competition with Orochimaru.

These are the things that made Minato sigh.

Of course, Minato also knew Souji's temper.

He has outstanding abilities in all aspects, but since no one forces him, he just likes to be a lazy guy!

Minato felt it was a good thing that Souji was now both the Fifth Mizukage and the village's Minister of Education.

When he first took office as the Fourth Hokage, he asked Souji to come and help him, but Souji refused without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, after his temporary death, Cang Si became the Minister of Education by accident.

This development was something Minato had never expected before.

"Forget it, being the Mizukage is just a way to get by. When I have everything sorted out, I will just run away and let whoever wants to be the Sixth Mizukage do it!"

Although Cang Si said this, he couldn't really do it.

The most likely thing is that after he has dealt with the Akatsuki organization, he will arrange for Mei Terumi to become the Sixth Mizukage, and then announce his "retirement"!

After that, the two talked about many things, but most of them were about Konoha.

After all, Minato is the Fourth Hokage.

If he were to return to the village to govern, he would definitely first have to understand the current situation in the village.

However, when Minato heard Souji say that Danzo's coup had failed, he had become a traitor, and was dead, an expression of shock appeared on his face again.

"I didn't expect that after my death, so many things happened in the village. Even Danzo..."

Although Minato did not say the following words explicitly, Cang Si understood what he meant.

You know, Minato had promised the Third Hokage that no matter what happened, he would save Danzo's life in the future.

But I didn’t expect that Danzo would dare to launch a coup!

To be honest, if Minato hadn't died at that time, it would have been really difficult to decide how to deal with the other party.

Now that Danzo has died at the hands of Souji, whose identity is hidden, it can be considered the best ending.

This means that I have not violated my promise to the Third Hokage.

"Strictly speaking, it's not me who killed Danzo. It was he who turned into a tree because of the backlash of the Wood Release Cells from the First Hokage in his body.

If you have time later, Minato, you can go there and have a look."

What Souji said was quite serious, so Minato didn't know whether Souji did it on purpose.

He doesn't have the weird hobbies and bad tastes that Cang Si has.

Why let him go there?

To mourn the big tree that Danzo turned into?

If he has that much time, wouldn't it be better for him to spend more time with Kushina and Naruto?

"Ahem, forget it. Since Danzo is already dead, there is nothing much to say. He failed in his coup and turned into a big tree. This is the best ending for him."

I have to say that in some aspects, Minato and Souji have very similar ideas.

At least for Danzo who finally turned into a tree

He and Cang Si have the same opinion on this matter.

Didn’t Danzo claim to be the root of Konoha?

Now that he has grown into a towering tree, isn't he making a perfect contribution to the greening of the Fire Nation?

After Souji finished telling Minato the whole story about Konoha's current situation, the shock on Minato's face never faded.

"You mean, Konoha now has so many powerful people? And, you have solved the problem between the Uchiha clan and Konoha?"

Minato might have been able to accept the previous part calmly, but when he heard Souji say that there was no longer any gap between the Uchiha clan and the village, Minato was so excited that he almost turned on the Kurama mode.

There is no doubt that Minato can indeed do this now!

In fact, when Minato first became the Fourth Hokage, he set the policy of giving priority to solving the problems between the Uchiha clan and the village.

Unfortunately, before he could implement it, the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion broke out.

Now that I have just been resurrected, I hear Cang Si say that such a big trouble has been solved?

Isn't this making Minato a little too excited?

"For this, we have to thank our Lord Danzo and Uchiha Madara!"

Souji didn't hide his teasing towards Danzo at all.

Afterwards, Souji told the Uchiha clan that the radical faction had attempted a coup, and Shisui had followed his instructions and took the opportunity to fan the flames.

He told Minato everything about how he had induced Danzo to make the same choice, and how he had helped Shisui gain the trust of the masked man Uchiha Madara and join the Akatsuki organization as an undercover agent.

After listening to Souji's story, Minato was amazed.

One thing leads to another, and after removing himself, he was still able to calculate all parties perfectly. Even Minato had to admire his method.

"To be honest, Cang Si, I think with your ability, even if you become fire..."

"No, no, no, Minato, I beg you, please don't cast the 'curse' on me again. If you do it again, I'll really be exhausted to death!"

Minato was about to say something with a sigh on his face, but before he could finish his words, Cang Si interrupted him immediately, as if he had expected it. ..

Not only that, Cang Si even waved his hands excitedly.

Judging from the situation, if Minato had any intention of saying the second half of the sentence, Cang Si would probably cover Minato's mouth.

To Souji, Minato's mouth was blessed!

This has already come true as he became the Fifth Mizukage.

He didn't want Minato to give him another buff!

If he really let Minato finish his words, Souji estimated that he would be exhausted to death in the future!

"Well, okay, okay, I won't say anything."

Looking at Cangsi's terrified expression, Minato was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

This is a good thing that is out of reach for everyone, why is Cang Si so scared?

In the end, Minato could only attribute this to Souji's personality.

After talking about this matter, some small things that happened later would no longer cause Minato's mood to fluctuate too much.

However, even so, because they hadn't seen each other for so many years, the two talked about all kinds of things and continued chatting until the evening.

After resting for another night in Orochimaru's experimental base, Souji and Minato said goodbye to Orochimaru the next day.

Orochimaru didn't try to persuade him to stay, but just hoped that when Souji was free in the future, he could come over and visit him.

It can be seen that Orochimaru is not planning to leave this underground experimental base in the Land of Fire in the short term.

As for why he asked Cang Si to come over and visit him when he was free, it was mainly because he wanted to study Cang Si's Ice Release Bloodline.

Orochimaru never hesitates to research some powerful abilities.

What is the mainstream in the ninja world nowadays?

Isn’t it Mizunotsuki Jin’s ice escape?

After all, although it has not been confirmed yet, if we were to choose the strongest person in the ninja world, most people would probably vote for Mizunoe Jin.

Who said Mizunotsuki Jin is a legend in the ninja world and has so many impressive battle records?

In terms of combat record alone, no one in the ninja world can match him.

And isn’t it the Ice Escape that made Mizunotsuki Jin famous?

So, do you think Orochimaru would not be interested in Ice Release?

It's just like how Orochimaru also studied Wood Release because of Hashirama Senju's strength.

Now that his own young disciple has also mastered the art of ice escape, doesn't that make Orochimaru's scientific research desire stir?

Of course, for Souji, Orochimaru simply wanted to study ice escape, nothing else.

Before leaving, Cang Si seemed to have guessed the reason why Orochimaru asked him to come over and visit him when he was free, and he smiled and gave Orochimaru two gifts.

One was three corpses of White Zetsu, and the other was about seven or eight pieces of blood crystals that had fallen off during the second evolution of his Byakugan.

By giving these two gifts to Orochimaru, Souji wanted to express his gratitude to Orochimaru for lifting the Shikigami Fūjin and thus reviving Minato.

Secondly, he hoped that Orochimaru could really research something special from these two gifts of his.

If we have to say there is a third point, it would be the filial piety of the disciple Cang Si towards his teacher.

Orochimaru did not refuse, but accepted the two gifts from Souji out of curiosity.

In this life, at this point in time, Orochimaru has not yet started researching White Zetsu, let alone the blood crystal that originally belonged to Souji and did not exist in the original work.

At this moment, neither Souji nor Orochimaru had imagined that the combination of these two gifts would give birth to such a terrifying existence in the future!

Of course, these are all later stories, so we won’t talk about them here for now.

After saying goodbye to Orochimaru, Souji and Minato immediately rushed towards Konoha without stopping.

Cang Si was fine, he just treated this leave trip with the Third Hokage as a long journey to carry out a mission.

But Watergate is different!

His soul has been swallowed by the god of death for too many years!

The time of the ninja world will not stop just because he is gone.

Therefore, Minato's situation can be regarded as being homesick.

"Minato, you don't look at all as calm as you did when we first returned to the village after many years on our first S-rank mission!"

While they were hurrying through the woods, Cang Si suddenly turned around and teased Minato who had an uneasy look on his face.

"Yes! But at that time, it was only four years after all. Now, it has been almost three four-year periods, right?"

Minato, with a look of emotion on his face, did not deny what Souji said.

His heart had indeed never been at peace since his resurrection.

He has too many things to do and too many people he wants to meet!

The kind that doesn't want to wait even a moment!

As for why Minato didn't just use the Flying Thunder God Technique to speed up his journey, in his words, although he wanted to return to Konoha as soon as possible, he also wanted to take a closer look at the changes in the Fire Country which he had not seen for many years!

The mountains, rivers and streams he saw along the way all brought back memories of Minato's past missions in the Land of Fire.

It can be said that Minato's mood is very complicated now. He wants to walk faster and see those familiar people and things as soon as possible.

At the same time, he wanted to walk slower and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Fire Kingdom in peacetime.

After all, from the time Minato was born until his temporary death in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the war in the ninja world has never stopped.

When people of Cang Si's generation were born, World War I had just ended.

As far as I can remember, World War II was about to begin.

The most peaceful days Minato experienced were the four years he spent in the Ninja Academy.

Of course, I was actually quite happy during those four years after graduating from the Ninja School.

Although the ninja world was in constant war at that time, the four members of their team followed Jiraiya and trained in the Land of Fire, experiencing what it meant to be a ninja.

After that, Minato became completely busy.

Every day I am either on a mission or on my way to a mission.

Or just participate in

In the world war.
