Chapter 29 Minato and his wife visit
Leaf.
As Gen Takuno walked through the village, he looked at the smiles on the faces of the villagers around him, and the name of Minato Namikaze could be heard from time to time.
As expected, the third generation had already begun preparations for passing the leadership to Minato Namikaze.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a good thing to openly discuss Minato Namikaze while the Third Hokage is still alive.
Given time, Danzo Shimura would definitely find a way to make Minato Namikaze the second White Fang of Konoha. However, Minato Namikaze's personality is completely different from Sakumo Hatake's, so it's unlikely that he would commit suicide.
Given the current trend, it's unlikely that Shimura Danzo will have time to prepare; that guy must be furious right now.
Yuan Tuoye smiled. The other party had done so much, even tarnishing Orochimaru's reputation in the village beforehand. It was hard to say that the reason for the exposure of Orochimaru's experiments was not due to this incident.
At first, they made wild guesses, perhaps because Orochimaru's identity prevented them from investigating further.
However, subsequent investigations into the disappearances of people in the village and nearby villages always lead back to that area, and then combine that with those unsubstantiated pieces of information...
As for Orochimaru's opinion on Minato Namikaze becoming the Fourth Hokage, he would probably be very unwilling, but he himself knows that with his reputation in the village, it would be really difficult for him to compete with Minato Namikaze.
He's probably numbing himself with experiments right now.
"Orochimaru..." Minamoto Takuno pondered. He needed the other party's experimental records, so he had to get the other party to defect. This was not a difficult task.
To be honest, I feel that Orochimaru was also tricked by Danzo Shimura.
Although Orochimaru's personality was dark at the beginning, he still cared about the village and did not use the villagers for experiments. Most of the test subjects were probably obtained from the war.
However, this situation changed after Shimura Danzo approached Orochimaru and began to cooperate. The experimental subjects that Shimura Danzo gave to Orochimaru included not only people from nearby villages, but also ninjas from the villages themselves.
After that, Orochimaru seemed to have no more reservations and began to take action against the village's ninjas.
At this point, Orochimaru had completely embarked on a path of no return.
If it's just about using corpses from enemy villages during wartime for experiments, it's not unforgivable in Minato's opinion, and Minato Namikaze shouldn't be such a stubborn and uncivilized person.
If it were the Third Hokage, he might punish him, but he probably wouldn't deserve to die. After all, he was a student he personally taught. In fact, even in the original story, the Third Hokage couldn't bring himself to kill him.
However, when the experimental subjects involve people from the village, this nature changes completely.
Once exposed, no one can protect the other party against the collective will of the village.
After Orochimaru defected, he conducted even more unrestrained experiments.
Therefore, once he was ready, all he needed to do was provide the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, with the evidence that Orochimaru had used the villagers for experiments.
But he needed an identity; it wouldn't be right for him, a fanatic of sealing techniques, to go against his persona and expose the other party.
More importantly, after the exposure, how do we get what Orochimaru wants from him? The experimental records left behind by Orochimaru are likely records of ongoing experiments, while the records of completed experiments are probably... inside his stomach.
"As expected, we still have to block the other party from making the transaction," Yuan Tuoye sighed, finding it troublesome.
While he was thinking, he finished his mission. The Third Hokage was probably busy with the succession, so he didn't chat with him as usual.
Back in his home, Yuan Tuono looked at the simple room after a long time and sighed.
Not long ago, he was forcibly taking the Gedo Mazo from a pair of Rinnegan and one of the masterminds behind the Naruto, but now he has suddenly returned to a peaceful life, which is a bit strange.
With that in mind, he didn't waste any time and created two shadow clones to continue studying the sealing technique.
Then he took the meteorite out of the scroll and placed it on his lap, and began to cultivate.
Although blocking Orochimaru doesn't require defeating him, it certainly requires a certain level of strength, so there's no time to waste.
Time flies.
The news that Minato Namikaze was going to become the Fourth Hokage was no longer just a rumor; it was something that every villager in Konoha knew.
They were all cheering for it.
Minato Namikaze's deeds of striking fear into the hearts of enemies on the battlefield and saving countless families are well-known. Even those who didn't know him before have come to know more about him than he did through this overwhelming publicity.
On such a day.
Minato Namikaze, accompanied by Kushina Uzumaki, visited Takuno Minamoto.
Yuan Tuoye looked at the two people in front of the door, somewhat surprised that they would come to his place on such a day.
"Welcome, Minato, Kushina."
After the two were seated, Yuan Tuoye also started brewing tea. After thinking for a while, he decided not to use the cheapest tea leaves from before.
"You've come at the right time. I bought some local specialty tea during this mission," said Yuan Tuoye.
"Then let's look forward to it." Minato Namikaze said with a smile. He remembered that the last time he came, the other party served him the cheapest tea.
It's impossible for me to hold a grudge, but it's just that it leaves a deep impression.
As he spoke, he looked around and said, "Your home is indeed quite simple, senior. Aren't you planning to buy a new house?"
"I don't have that idea for now. I spend most of my time on missions and rarely live at home, so buying a new house would be a waste," Yuan Tuoye said after pausing for a moment upon hearing the other person's form of address.
He hadn't expected that someone who was about to become the Fourth Hokage would still use such a respectful title towards him, which made him feel quite fond of him.
"I see." Minato Namikaze nodded.
Kushina Uzumaki, standing nearby, was carefully observing Takuno Minamoto. She was still a little curious about what had caused that initial feeling, but now she no longer felt that same way about him.
Soon, Yuan Tuoye had brewed the tea and sat down in front of the two of them, pouring the tea as he spoke.
"It seems I haven't congratulated Minato on becoming the Fourth Hokage yet," Takuno Minamoto said after thinking for a moment, then spoke more formally.
"Congratulations, Minato. From now on, I will call you Hokage-sama."
Minato Namikaze scratched his head and said with a smile, "From now on, you can just call me Minato. Besides, the Third Hokage isn't actually at the age where he has to abdicate. He's being too kind to me."
"Don't be modest. The fact that those ninja villages have the consensus that they can abandon their mission and run away if they encounter you already shows that you have enough strength to succeed as Hokage. Not to mention that you have saved so many comrades and families on the battlefield. Even in terms of reputation, your becoming Hokage is what everyone expects."
