Chapter 174 Anbu Commander!

"Hokage-sama."

When Natsuhiko entered the ward, he nodded to Namikaze Minato with a smile on his face, and then he looked towards Kushina.

He also bowed to Kushina with goodwill, and that was enough for him.

In fact, he never thought that his luck would be so good. After all, when Namikaze Minato would wake up from a coma, he was not so sure.

The life force he injected into Namikaze Minato is not much, and the rest needs Namikaze Minato to recover.

His approach is actually very foul. After all, compared to medical skills or Ninjutsu to treat a person, the most important thing is that a person's body heals itself.

Whether it is surgery or medical skills, the effect is actually an auxiliary role.

Natsuhiko directly infuses life force in this way, and to some extent directly repairs the problems in a person's body.

Of course, this kind of repair can also be seen as the use of life force to activate the healing cells in a person, so that they can reproduce more powerfully.

Of course, this is just what Natsuhiko thought, after all, he is not a medical student, even Medical-Ninjutsu he did not go into too much.

"You're too kind, Natsuhiko-kun, I don't think we need to do this."

Namikaze Minato shook the shaking ones head gently before he said with a smile.

"But you're here just in time, and I want to know what's going on with Konoha now."

Namikaze Minato is still concerned about Konoha's current situation, even if he's in a real state. Not so good.

But as Hokage he has that responsibility, and now that Natsuhiko is here, he can't forgive himself if he doesn't get to know him well.

Kushina wrinkled her frowned head, and then she sighed helplessly, she knew what kind of character her husband was.

Although she was a little worried about Minato's current physical condition, she was more proud. After all, her husband helped her fulfill her dream back then.

"Natsuhiko-kun, you can do it, if you need to avoid it." Kushina said and sat up: "Then I can go out and wait."

"Actually, I want to be inside the village. There is nothing to hide." Natsuhiko smiled and shook the shaking ones head: "So Kushina Jonin has absolutely no need to avoid it, and I don't think Hokage-sama wants you to avoid it."

Namikaze Minato nodded lightly, he didn't say anything because Natsuhiko had already said all he wanted to say.

He really wasn't going to let Kushina shy away, especially since he still had some questions to ask Natsuhiko afterward.

He hopes to face these problems with his wife, to understand some things together, and to verify some things together.

“Hokage-sama, the casualties of Hidden Leaf Village this time have not been fully counted, but it is foreseeable that the casualties should not be low, especially the commoner.”

Natsuhiko is almost Narrating in the calmest tone of this time the damage Nine-Tails inflicted on Konoha, Namikaze Minato has been trying to contain his inner anger.

Natsuhiko really doesn't know how many casualties the Nine-Tails caused this time, but just look at Konoha's reaction mechanism.

If he hadn't driven all Anbu's reserve team to evacuate the commoner in advance, I'm afraid they would not know what to do when they encountered the village being attacked for the first time, right?

In the original work, the residents of Konoha are so deeply attached to Naruto's evil intent, I am afraid that the destruction of Nine-Tails has left an indelible impression on everyone.

Plus Sarutobi Hiruzen's usual practice of diverting contradictions, instead of letting the villagers focus this time on 'why the Konoha containment and evacuation was so poorly done'.

Might as well just put it on 'Nine-Tails has done so much damage to the village, such hatred can't be eliminated'.

The former is detrimental to their situation, while the latter allows them time to deal with more problems.

But it is worth mentioning that, probably because of the Nine-Tails incident, Konoha later improved the prevention and evacuation measures in his village.

This is the time for Chunin Exams. After Hidden Sand and Yin Yin two villages attacked, the villagers could withdraw quickly and calmly to the shelter.

"As for ninja, there are more than 80 Genin, 40 Chunin, and 10 Jonin have been confirmed killed so far."

Natsuhiko continued to put himself If you know what you know, it is normal for ninjas to have small losses. After all, ninjas are all equipped with chakra and have been trained to have a certain ability to protect themselves.

But this number is not too small, especially since it is only the current death data, there are still many injured ninja waiting for treatment in the ward downstairs.

Whether these guys make it through is another question, and whether they can continue to be ninjas after making it through is another question.

Namikaze Minato sighed slightly, this time the loss doesn't look too big for ninja.

But after being Hokage for more than a year, he naturally knew that the loss this time was not as simple as ninja.

This is a loss of Konoha's credibility!
In fact, other villages are not without Tailed Beast seal problems, but it is extremely rare in their own villages.

And Konoha is the No. 1 in Ninja World, and it has received the most attention, so Konoha is also the most passive when such a problem arises.

In the end, Konoha has not reached the point of the so-called beacon of freedom in Natsuhiko's previous life, and this world doesn't have so many good-natured villages.

"There is one more thing I need to tell Hokage-sama."

Natsuhiko slightly lifts the head here, he seriously looked Namikaze Minato and then said slowly.

"Anbu Commander Murashima Takukai is dead. I killed him."

"What!"

Before Namikaze Minato could speak, Kushina beside him An incredible sound came out.

Anbu Commander was actually killed by Natsuhiko, and he told his husband so bluntly, what does this guy mean?
And Namikaze Minato wrinkled frowned head, he stared at Natsuhiko carefully, he knew there must be a lot of secrets.

And I'm afraid that their current conversation will really involve what he wants to verify, so he just quietly looked Natsuhiko, waiting for Natsuhiko to continue.

"Kushina Jonin, please don't get excited."

Natsuhiko's voice was still gentle and calm, he smiled looking Kushina, and then his eyes turned to Namikaze Minato.

"The reason is very simple, that is Sandaime sama asked me and Owl Captain to convey the order dispatched by Anbu to Minister sama.

However, Owl Captain was unlucky, he was killed by Nine -The Tails attack ended up killing him, and the order was also destroyed on him.

I went to Anbu alone to give the order, and the result was refusal to dispatch without order.

And the situation was very critical, so I had to kill Minister sama and let Anbu go."

Here, the smile on Natsuhiko's face became even brighter, and he stared at Namikaze Minato slowly said with a smile.

"I think, in such a situation, Hokage-sama would have made the same choice, right?"

Natsuhiko's words hit Namikaze Minato's heart and let him Kushina was stunned.

After all, she really didn't know why, so Anbu Commander would make such a choice.

This is really rigid to an extreme, an unimaginable extreme!

It's beyond Kushina's imagination to go without a call, even if the Nine-Tails are wreaking havoc on the village.

But Namikaze Minato's expression changed slightly, because he had already knew everything.

Natsuhiko had already told him what kind of person that Anbu Commander was.

That guy is most likely a pure machine, and the owl guy is the key to connecting Sarutobi Hiruzen and this machine.

There is such an obedient Anbu Commander to rule Anbu, plus other Anbu Captains are more or less affected, even directly under Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And many Small Captains in Anbu were directly promoted by the big Captain, which is why Namikaze Minato couldn't master Anbu at all.

There is only one way to break Anbu's current situation, and that is Namikaze Minato direct choice and Sarutobi Hiruzen cast aside all considerations for face.

Then forcefully replace Anbu Commander and start all over again.

But apparently Namikaze Minato has no such plans and no such thoughts, from start to finish Anbu is not within his control.

And now, Natsuhiko actually killed Murashima Takukai directly, and he also found such an impeccable reason, even Namikaze Minato had some heart palpitations.

Natsuhiko could have thought of such a way, and dared to do it, on something so terrifying and dangerous as the Nine-Tails incident.

Isn't this guy afraid that because he kills Anbu Commander, he will cause problems with Nine-Tails?
If it was Namikaze Minato, he probably wouldn't dare to do it.

After hesitating for a while, Namikaze Minato suddenly sighed faintly, his gaze towards Natsuhiko changed slightly and became more serious.

"Natsuhiko-kun, let's not discuss the right and wrong of your approach first, aren't you afraid that your actions this time will have even a little accident?"

Namikaze Minato's voice is still a little bit Weak, but his tone was very firm.

"Aren't you afraid of taking a huge loss to Konoha if something goes wrong, aren't you afraid it's going to get worse?"

"Hokage-sama, everything I do I have seriously considered everything, and you have seen my strength."

Natsuhiko said to Namikaze Minato with a smile, of course this is bullshit, because he himself didn't expect it Such a great opportunity.

But there is one thing he didn't lie about, that is, the Nine-Tails thing he really thought about, and then he chose to participate.

"As for right and wrong, I think Hokage-sama has never figured out one thing."

Natsuhiko sighed slightly, looking Namikaze Minato with a smile, and This smile also gave Namikaze Minato a bad feeling.

He seemed to know what Natsuhiko was going to say, but this answer was probably the last thing he wanted to hear, but it was also what he wanted to hear the most at this time.

"Hokage-sama, although this sentence is cold and even wrong in the eyes of many people.

But when one is in a higher position, it is meddlesome Love, especially in the face of interests, there is no right or wrong, only entry and exit.

And, a fairly flexible bottom line with a fixed lower limit.”

Said At this point, Natsuhiko stood up, and the smile on his face began to fade.

Although his expression is still very gentle, it makes people feel tremble with fear.

"My bottom line is that Konoha will be fine, and within that bottom line I'll do whatever is good for me.

Whether it's an owl, Murashima Takumi, even."

"Me too, right?"

Before Natsuhiko could finish speaking, Namikaze Minato suddenly interrupted Natsuhiko.

"You saved me, and the reason you saved me was that you didn't want me to die, which would affect your interests, right?"

"Yes."

Natsuhiko hesitated for a moment, but finally he nodded seriously.

"Hokage-sama thinks this way, there is no problem, because once Hokage-sama dies, then Third Hokage will lose his containment.

This as far as I'm concerned is not A good thing, especially since I still need to develop, so Hokage-sama is the best person to fight against Third Hokage."

This time Natsuhiko didn't lie, because there was no need to lie anymore.

Strength is a person's reliance, and these strengths of Natsuhiko in this era can be regarded as a relatively good reliance.

Even if he has this strength in the future, he is just a slightly stronger rank.

But now, Uchiha Madara is dead, Nagato's Rinnegan is not fully in control, those shadows don't have his information and he has shadow's information.

It can be said that this is a dimensionality reduction blow!
Even though Namikaze Minato has Senjutsu and Nine-Tails' chakra as his backing, but he is in this state now, don't talk too much.

Natsuhiko finds that, for now, he doesn't really seem to have much to fear.

Of course, he didn't dare to be the enemy of the whole world, but Ninja was afraid of being stabbed in the back.

How the Pakura original work he rescued died, and how Uchiha Madara was ripped out of his heart, he still remembers these in his heart.

He will only show his ambitions within a certain range, which is already his limit, and he really needs to be strong now!

Namikaze Minato looked at him quietly, and Kushina was completely dumbfounded.

Although she is usually carefree, it doesn't mean she is really stupid, on the contrary she is a very smart person.

She's already heard a lot, like Anbu Commander was deliberately murdered by Natsuhiko!
And his husband is still alive, entirely because the youngster in front of him still needs his husband to stand in front of Third Hokage, so that he can continue to do what he wants to do calmly.

This kid is from Senju Clan, a user of Wood-Style, Kushina in childhood lived in Senju Clan with Uzumaki Mito.

She naturally knew how much this clan longed for Hokage, and she also knew that she didn't give up her dream again after knowing that this guy was lonely.

Even though they have all but disappeared from Konoha, few traces of them are found even now.

But Kushina believes that their goals have not changed from beginning to end, and I am afraid they are still going to look Hokage's position!

Thinking of this, Kushina couldn't help but looked towards her husband with some worry. The situation is too complicated now.

"I see, Natsuhiko-kun."

Quite a long time, Namikaze Minato was sighed, and he seemed to look haggard.

"I see, maybe I'm really not suitable for Hokage."

"Minato." Hearing this sentence, Kushina couldn't help but speak, but she was interrupted by Minato before she could finish her words.

"Kushina, don't worry, just listen to me."

Namikaze Minato gently shook the shaking ones head, and then he said a little lonely.

"After being a Hokage for a year, I actually realized a lot of things.

As a Hokage, sometimes I really can't judge a thing by right or wrong, because This is too narrow.

Natsuhiko-kun is right, there is no right or wrong in front of interests, there is only a flexible bottom line.

I have already I sensed it, and I was forced to make a lot of choices.

Especially, many of these choices were wrong in my opinion.

But I had to maintain a The bottom line, and this bottom line is the benefit of the village.

The village is stable, so even if something is right, I have to think it is wrong.

And some things are obviously wrong , I also consider whether the consequences of it will affect the village, so I have to think it's right.

It's tiring, really tiring, Hokage really doesn't seem to be what I imagined That look."

Speaking of this, Namikaze Minato suddenly showed a relieved smile, this smile looked very sunny, but the taste of loneliness was even heavier.

“at first I don’t know why Sandaime sama chose me as Hokage, I thought it was a result of my performance.

Later I found out it wasn’t This is the reason, but because of my sensei, Kushina, and part of my battlefield performance, that makes me Hokage.

Natsuhiko-kun, sarcasm, I told you that you might I feel that I am not a qualified Hokage, but I have the bottom line that I have to adhere to.

Now I find that I am indeed not a qualified Hokage, maybe because I insist too much on my personal bottom line Right?"

Natsuhiko looked silently at Namikaze Minato, for some reason he was also a little sad, he wouldn't deny the fact that Namikaze Minato was a good person.

I won't deny Namikaze Minato's excellence, and his insistence on the bottom line, but I can only say that he is an extremely good and charismatic ninja.

But not a qualified ruler who can be flexible and even cruel at some point.

He could hear the loneliness in Namikaze Minato's words, but Natsuhiko must be held responsible for this situation.

After all, it was what he did that made Minato appear so unconfident.

"Hokage-sama, you are actually very good." Natsuhiko hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly: "It takes time to grow up, and the education I received from childhood was different from that of Hokage-sama, so."

p>

"Natsuhiko-kun, how long can my body last?" Namikaze Minato suddenly interrupted Natsuhiko's words, he seemed to change the subject a little bluntly.

"I'm afraid it will take a few years to recuperate." Natsuhiko opened his mouth and finally said honestly: "The lifting of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal is not easy. I have probed Hokage-sama's body, and there is no problem with lifespan. It only takes a few years."

"I see." Namikaze Minato's expression became serious after a few years of silence: "It takes Sandaime sama to control Konoha, and now Anbu There's a vacancy for the Commander."

Hearing this, Natsuhiko suddenly lifts the head slightly weirdly looking Namikaze Minato, he knows that this is Namikaze Minato's final decision.

This time today is a somewhat unexpected but reasonable showdown, with only one purpose in essence, and that is to wait for Namikaze Minato to make a decision.

Natsuhiko directly admits that he saved Namikaze Minato, isn't he playing an emotional card?
It was he who stopped Nine-Tails one step further from destroying Konoha, and it was he who saved Namikaze Minato to reunite their family. This is a sentimental card and a strength card.

At the same time, he said what he did, and without the slightest hesitation, he said his bottom line, which was showing his political skills.

Both cards are shown, so now all he has to wait is Namikaze Minato's final decision, he's not Danzo, he won't pass easily, Namikaze Minato is Fourth Hokage!

"Then, I officially accept my destiny as Fourth Hokage." Namikaze Minato looked Natsuhiko earnestly, and finally he said in a tranquil voice: "Senju Natsuhiko, you are the new Anbu Commander!"

"many thanks to Hokage-sama's trust." Natsuhiko's body froze slightly when he heard this, then he immediately relaxed: "I won't let Hokage-sama down."

Anbu Commander, Anbu Commander!
This is what Natsuhiko has been waiting for for years, and he finally has Anbu in his hands!

Even though he has only been a Captain for a few months, even though he is only fourteen years old, at this moment he has indeed become an Anbu Commander.

Now he is probably the youngest minister in the entire Konoha, and also the youngest minister with real power!

Natsuhiko's heart was filled with joy instantly, but he didn't show it in the slightest. After all, there was no official document issued, so it was nothing.

But Natsuhiko knew who Namikaze Minato was, and he knew that since Minato had said it, he would have to do it.

Namikaze Minato has always been a trustworthy person, no doubt about that!
"I'll write the official document later."

Namikaze Minato looked The youngster in front of him nodded lightly, then he said in a more serious tone.

"But Natsuhiko-kun, I admire your strength and your wrist.

I believe you will be a good Hokage in the future, not just like me Passionately pursuing a Hokage person.

But it's not enough, it's not enough, I'll look at you, Natsuhiko-kun, I'll keep my eyes on you."

says At this point, Namikaze Minato paused for a moment, then continued in the harshest tone.

"I'll look at you to do it, look at the changes you bring. If you don't do well, it's even worse.

Then even if it's death, I won't I'll let you go! Did you hear that? Senju Natsuhiko!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked slowly to the hospital, his heart heavy now.

He could say he didn't get a good night's rest, after all Namikaze Minato was in the hospital and Konoha was hit so hard.

He has to deal with these things as Third Hokage, or the village will be a mess!
And such high-intensity work can also temporarily ease his inner grief.

You know, this night, it wasn't just Konoha who was unimaginable, but himself.

The wife who has accompanied him through several decades of wind and rain has completely left him. How can he bear such a blow?
He is also human, he also has his own feelings, Biwako is the woman who always stands firmly behind him.

But this person is already not in, he has completely left him, and his inner grief need not be repeated.

Took a deep breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen forced himself not to think about these things, because the more he thought about it, the more painful his heart was.

"Hokage-sama." When he came to the door of the medical minister's office, the current medical minister immediately bowed and said hello.

"It's a critical period now, so there's no need for so much etiquette." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook the shaking ones head: "What's the situation now, and what's the situation for Fourth-Kage purposes."

"There are a lot of wounded in ordinary ninjas, and there are about two or three hundred serious injuries." The medical minister sighed: "As for whether they can fully recover, I really have no way to guarantee, unless"

Unless What, the medical minister didn't say too much, but Sarutobi Hiruzen already knew what he meant.

Unless God bless Konoha, unless Tsunade comes back to rescue these people himself!

But does God really bless Konoha?

Sarutobi Hiruzen himself did not dare to think about this. If God bless Konoha, it is impossible for Konoha to be involved in the Third Shinobi World War.

It's also impossible that Jiraiya and Tsunade run away together, and it's also impossible that Nine-Tails come out and cause such a big problem!

As for Tsunade's return?

In the past, perhaps Sarutobi Hiruzen would have looked forward to it, but now he really doesn't want to think about it.

A Senju Natsuhiko has completely made him feel the pressure, and Tsunade's departure was ostensibly because of blood phobia, she didn't think she could be a ninja anymore.

But it's really hard to say if there are other reasons in the depths.

Such as Senju Nawaki's death, such as Senju Clan's loneliness and so on.

Her departure also prompted Jiraiya's departure, which Sarutobi Hiruzen saw.

Perhaps because of a sense of indebtedness, he did not express any views or resolutions on such matters.

Because of the strictly speaking, Tsunade and Jiraiya's approach, in some senses, High Level is the same as the village.

After all, Konoha Ninja is like a soldier, and Tsunade and Jiraiya are equivalent to high-level officers, how can they be so free?

"Stop talking about this, what about Fourth Hokage?" Sarutobi Hiruzen shook the shaking ones head, and he asked with some sighs: "How is his condition now?"

" Fourth-Kage Hokage-sama, he."

The medical minister's expression changed slightly, his eyes moved towards all around and he lowered his voice and whispered.

"I'm afraid Fourth-Kage sama needs to rest for a while."

"How long?" Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his brows when he heard this sentence: Any specific information?"

"What happened to Fourth-Kage sama, I don't know."

Cautious and solemn, Minister of Health, because of It really matters.

"His physical condition is very complicated. The lightest injury seems to be a broken rib, which is easier to deal with.

But in terms of function, there are problems with various organs in his body. The inside of the body is also extremely weak, said truthfully when I saw him, I thought he was dead.

But it is very strange that although the weakness has become like this, after our inspection, his Life seems to be fine.

And he has a force full of life forces inside him that protects him and allows him to recover.

It just takes time , preliminary estimates will take several years to fully recover without any repercussions."

How many years?
Sarutobi Hiruzen could not help being a little silent when he heard this, then he calmly nodded and motioned for the Minister of Health to leave.

Then he silently moved towards Namikaze Minato's ward and walked over. Namikaze Minato's situation was a bit unexpected, but overall it was fine.

Although there is Natsuhiko on the side of Namikaze Minato, and the silent fight between him and Namikaze Minato continues, it's better than Konoha's shadow dying.

But on the way over he also got a message that Natsuhiko had come earlier, and Namikaze Minato dispelled all Anbu, and chatted with Natsuhiko alone for a while.

This news made Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. He always felt that this matter was not very good. What was the purpose of Natsuhiko coming to Namikaze Minato at this time?
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, which made him quicken his steps.

“Minato.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen pushed open the door of the ward quickly, and soon his pupils flexed slightly as he saw Namikaze Minato drafting something.

"Sandaime sama." Namikaze Minato slightly lifts the head, then he gives a gentle smile: "many thanks Third-Hokage for visiting."

"You just It's not necessary to wake up." Sarutobi Hiruzen walked slowly to Namikaze Minato's side, and his expression really changed when his eyes swept over the piece of paper.

As he clearly sees, Namikaze Minato is writing the appointment of Anbu Commander!

Especially when he saw that the Anbu Commander's name was written with the name Senju Natsuhiko, his face became even more ugly.

This matter is exactly what he thought, and it is also moving towards this bad direction.

"Are you in a hurry?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked hesitantly, "Murashima Takukai died, and he died at the hands of Senju Natsuhiko, at this time."

"Sandaime sama, we can see the strength of Natsuhiko." Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish speaking, Namikaze Minato interrupted him: "This time he has contributed to Konoha, I am afraid that not many people can mention him on equal terms. Right?"

"But, the death of Murashima Takukai"

"I know, I've heard about this, although he acted impatiently, but he also wanted to Konoha.

It just so happens that Anbu's place is vacant now, I think he can give him a try.

Or, Sandaime sama, what is better, can reward Minister Natsuhiko this All that he showed during the time Nine-Tails operation?"
