Naruto : Minato back to the past

One month passed slowly.

In the dozens of days after the end of this war, several major events occurred one after another in the ninja world which had returned to peace.

In the Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning, the son of the third Raikage, A, succeeded to the position of the fourth Raikage.

The ninja professor Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had held the position of Hokage for decades, also passed the position of Hokage to the next generation.

The fourth generation Hokage, Minato Namikaze!

Minato's succession to the position of Hokage once again shocked the other four nations.

Because this man who bears the title of Hokage left too many legends in previous wars.

After a period of recovery, trade between the five major ninja countries gradually resumed.

In this war, many ninjas bore hatred.

But what is more important than hatred is to live on carrying the will of the dead.

Time will continue to move forward, even though the ninjas from the four countries still harbor hatred towards Konoha.

However, the Fire Nation is the country with the richest resources among the five major countries. For the sake of their own development, this hatred can only be suppressed.

Not to mention that Konoha's overall strength is now far superior to that of the four countries.

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

As the post-war economy recovered, Minato had more and more work to do.

But he didn't feel tired at all. For Minato, nothing could make him more gratified than seeing the village's operations gradually get back on track.

"Hokage, everything has been prepared for the reopening of the Ninja School." Inside the office, a middle-aged ninja wearing a Chunin vest said to Minato.

Minato, who was standing opposite the former, put down the documents in his hand and chuckled, "Teacher Shirota, you should call me by my original name. That way, I will feel more comfortable."

Shirota was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay."

He looked at Minato with eyes full of relief.

The man in front of him who bears the title of Hokage was once his student.

Naturally, Shirota was a little proud in his heart.

"Then I'll trouble you with the next thing."

Minato said that for the village, training the next generation is a top priority.

Therefore, as the Hokage, he must personally take care of every detail of the reopening of the ninja school.

"What are you talking about? This is my responsibility as a teacher at the ninja school."

Shirota said seriously, and after talking to Minato for a few more words, he left the Hokage's office.

Minato immediately resumed processing the documents on the desk.

"Knock Knock!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Minato raised his eyes, and after a little perception, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said: "Come in."

As soon as the words fell, the office door was opened and then quickly closed.

The former also stood up again, looked at the dusty man in front of him and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Uchiha Yoruki nodded slightly. He was under the order of Minato to sneak into the Land of Rain to find out information about the Akatsuki organization.

Last time, Sakumo only stayed in the Rain Village for a short time, but this time, Uchiha Yoruki stayed for a long time.

"How is it, any news?" Minato asked seriously.

Uchiha Yoruki shook his head and said, "Except for the dead Yahiko, Nagato and Konan of the Akatsuki organization seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. I asked around in the Land of Rain and then sneaked into the Rain Village, but I didn't hear any information about them."

"Whether they live or dies, it is still unknown."

Hearing this, Minato frowned. Could it be that Nagato and Konan had been secretly dealt with by Hanzo?

"But there is another piece of information. That is, more than a month ago, a considerable number of Rain Village elites did die. It is said that Hanzo returned to Rain Village alone at that time."

"Also, the campaign against the Akatsuki organization is indeed related to the Root."

Uchiha Yoruki took out a broken sword from the ninja tool bag behind him.

Minato took a quick glance and recognized it, this kind of weapon was only carried by members of Konoha's Anbu and Root.

It was the same one that Suzuka used when she was Anbu and was carrying out the mission in the Land of Hot Springs.

The expression in those deep blue eyes gradually became gloomy.

"But this broken sword alone is not enough to hold the Root accountable."

Uchiha Yoruki said that during the Third Ninja World War, there were also members of the Root and Anbu among the Konoha army at the border of the Land of Rain.

So even if this broken sword was found from the Rain Village, it would not be enough to prove anything.

Minato nodded, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Select some more people from the village's ninjas to expand the Anbu's personnel and increase supervision of the Root."

Under the obstruction of the Third Hokage, although Minato did not hold Danzo accountable, the members of the Anbu will monitor the Root and prevent them from acting recklessly as usual.

Most of the supervised members are Anbu who report directly to the Third Hokage.

Minato's Anbu had just been formed and did not have that many people available.

Uchiha Yoruki nodded, and then said: "In this case, it would be better to recruit some Hyuga ninjas into the Anbu. Their sensory ability is much stronger than that of ordinary ninjas."

"Um."

Minato agreed, and then chuckled, "I know what you mean. In fact, the person you want to recruit into the Anbu the most is Hyuga Hizashi, right?"

Uchiha Yoruki also smiled faintly, which could not be denied.

The two brothers, Hiashi and Hizashi, showed extraordinary talents since childhood.

The former inherited the position of head of the Hyuga family after Hyuga Tenki's death, and Hizashi is now also an elite among the village's jonin.

His abilities are enough to make him a squad leader of the Anbu.

"No problem, I'll go visit the Hyuga clan after I finish what I'm doing," Minato said.

Uchiha Yoruki chuckled. For Minato, who was the Hokage, this kind of thing could usually be dealt with by simply summoning him.

However, Hizashi's status in the Hyuga clan is not low, so even for the Hokage, it is impossible to incorporate him into the Anbu with just a few words.

"I noticed that you've been smiling more and more recently."

Minato said that the previous Uchiha Yoruki was indifferent to everything.

Sure enough, the latter's face turned cold when he heard this, then he said something to Minato and left.

Minato smiled and shook his head, then his expression returned to seriousness again.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, he still had only a vague understanding of what happened in the Rain Village.

For both public and private reasons, Minato would not easily give up investigating this matter.

In this way, time passed, and another four months passed.

It has been almost half a year since the end of the Third Ninja World War.
