Master, please become the Hokage

The Third and Fourth Hokage led everyone to arrive one after another.

After they understood the situation, they turned their gaze towards Minato Namikaze, intending to listen to his explanation...

Chapter 163. Namikaze Minato is imprisoned

As a commoner who rose to power, he was a Konoha ninja who took the will of fire as his own mission.

Minato Namikaze is not good at various conspiracies and intrigues.

Compared with politicians like Utane Koharu, it is far worse.

He can't even be compared with Senju Tobirama.

After all, everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

Originally, Minato Namikaze thought that the return of Tobirama Senju would have a breakthrough effect on the situation.

He still understood the principle of employing people at their disposal.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

However, the development of the incident was beyond his expectations.

In this political struggle, he seems to be shooting himself in the foot.

Things have developed to the point where they are no longer under the control of Minato Namikaze.

"Everyone, there's actually an interesting piece of information in the confession provided by Shimura Danzo before his death..."

Sarutobi Ryo looked at everyone and began to announce something.

"Namikaze Minato, using forbidden techniques, summoned the dead... The Second Hokage has returned to the world of the living."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Sarutobi Ryo's words caused an uproar in the crowd.

They all looked shocked and couldn't believe it.

After all, the idea of ​​the dead returning to the world sounds like a fairy tale.

Most of the people present had never heard of the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Only the older generation... Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Sakumo, looked surprised.

After all, during the First Ninja World War, Senju Tobirama actually used the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.

The older generation of ninjas, including Chiyo, Hanzo, etc., have all seen or heard of this technique.

This immediately raised the severity of the matter to an unpredictable level.

"Minato, is this true?"

Hatake Sakumo was the first to ask a question.

Facing the gazes of the two Hokage and the questions of everyone.

Minato Namikaze opened his mouth, but could only lower his head.

This is equivalent to tacitly acknowledging the fact that he was reincarnated as Senju Tobirama through the Impure World Reincarnation.

"this......"

Murmurs suddenly broke out among the crowd.

After a period of fermentation, they gradually understood what had happened.

Minato Namikaze learned a forbidden technique.

That forbidden technique can bring back the dead.

The technique used to blow up Princess Tsunade's residence was invented by the previous Hokage.

Probably...that's it.

"Although Minato used the technique to summon the Second Hokage, this incident has nothing to do with Minato~."

Kushina, who reacted quickly, was the first to defend Minato Namikaze.

She looked anxious and couldn't help but worry about her lover's situation.

The injustice has the head and the debt has the owner.

Whoever caused the explosion should be found.

Kushina's meaning was crystal clear.

Jiraiya couldn't help but nod.

Indeed...even if Minato summoned the previous Hokage, it would not mean anything.

"of course."

Sarutobi Ryo naturally agreed with their ideas.

but......

"Whether Minato Namikaze was involved or not still needs to be investigated... I think he would be happy to cooperate with everyone to clarify the truth..."

As he said this, Sarutobi Ryo looked at Namikaze Minato.

These words clearly meant that Minato Namikaze would be imprisoned for a period of time.

Until the truth comes out.

After all, Tsunade's mansion was completely razed to the ground, which was no small matter.

"In addition, the Second Hokage is Princess Tsunade's second grandfather. It is impossible for him to murder his own relatives...so..."

Sarutobi Ryo changed the subject and hinted at something fishy going on.

Senju Tobirama had no reason to kill Tsunade...

Sarutobi Ryo never mentioned a word about Senju Tobirama's attempt to murder him.

Everyone was slightly stunned, and then nodded in agreement.

They thought Sarutobi Ryo's speculation was very reasonable.

The Nidaime had no reason to murder Princess Tsunade.

Then... the murderer might be someone else, or... someone is controlling the second generation.

Namikaze Minato used a forbidden technique to recall the Nidaime. He was the one controlling it, so it's very likely that he was the one controlling the previous Hokage to attack Princess Tsunade...

Or maybe there is something wrong with the procedure?

In short, no matter what, Minato Namikaze must be related to this matter.

"I think Namikaze Minato needs some time to think about it. Everyone, let's leave first..."

Sarutobi Ryo gestured.

Let Minato Namikaze think about it carefully, and the truth will come out naturally.

This is also an opportunity for Minato Namikaze, and a time to reflect on his mistakes.

As everyone slowly left the cell.

Kushina couldn't help but continue to plead for Minato Namikaze.

"Hokage-sama, this is a misunderstanding..."

Looking at Kushina who was pleading for Minato Namikaze, Tsunade's forehead was slightly sweating.

Because the situation has developed to this point, she has no idea what to do.

She also didn't expect that her second grandfather would be so crazy as to take action directly, intending to use forbidden techniques to eliminate Sarutobi Ryo in one fell swoop.

Things...are getting serious...

Faced with Kushina's plea, Hatake Sakumo suddenly looked embarrassed.

"Uzumaki Kushina, please don't embarrass Hokage-sama."

Sarutobi Ryo immediately interrupted her request.

As the head of a village, the Hokage has the responsibility to protect everyone's safety and perform the duties that should be performed.

Letting Minato Namikaze stay in prison for a while is the inevitable choice.

Kushina wanted to change this, which would be tantamount to making things difficult for Hatake Sakumo.

"Instead of making things difficult for Lord Hokage, you might as well persuade Minato Namikaze to sort out his thoughts and tell the truth..."

After saying that, Sarutobi Ryo left with the two Hokage.

The prison was empty, with a few Anbu ninjas symbolically guarding it.

It is impossible for Minato Namikaze to escape from prison.

Because that would make you a traitor.

Even if no one was watching him, he didn't dare jump out of the cage.

"Minato, what exactly is going on?"

Jiraiya, who was silent on the side, was actually most worried about his disciples.

He knew that his disciple's dream was to become Hokage.

So there can't be any stain on your resume!

Not to mention, Tsunade was nearly murdered.

This is also the most difficult thing for Jiraiya to accept.

He believed that there must be something fishy going on and that Minato would never do such a thing.

"Teacher Jiraiya..."

Minato Namikaze raised his head with a complicated expression.

Looking at my mentor and lover.

After thinking for a long time, he told part of the truth.

"The bombing...was not my fault..."

This is a fact.

but......

Telling this fact is equivalent to cutting ties with the previous Hokage.

Once it is confirmed that the bombing was done by the previous Hokage, the situation will become even more confusing...

Because, this is tantamount to launching a terrible civil war...

The conflict between the Senju lineage and the new generation of reformers represented by Sarutobi Ryo.

It's very likely that the Senju clan will be wiped out because of this...

Many people will be implicated and subjected to a thorough purge...

Chapter 164. Kushina's Anxiety

Minato Namikaze was cautious and treading on thin ice, but he still underestimated the determination of Tobirama Senju.

The hatred for Uchiha is deep in his bones.

It is no longer as simple as being afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once.

Witnessing the killing of his younger brothers, relatives and friends since childhood, and years of war... these things have completely destroyed some normal parts of Senju Tobirama as a human being.

Whether it's childhood trauma or PTSD...

The accumulated life experiences eventually gave rise to the existence of Senju Tobirama.

Add to that Sarutobi Ryo's rude remarks and sarcasm...this attitude is more like an Uchiha than an Uchiha.
