As soon as Namikaze Minato finished speaking, everyone present was shocked!
Inuzuka Jaw said, "Jin, this matter is not to be taken lightly! If you are not careful, it may be used as a handle to attack!"
You have to know that they are ninjas, and they need to report even when they leave the village!
Not to mention that it is still a war period, and the inspection in the village is stricter!
Uchiha Jin acted on his own without permission. To put it mildly, it is dereliction of duty. To put it more seriously, he can be dealt with according to the village judgment!
With Uchiha Jin's status as a member of the Uchiha clan, it is almost impossible to let him go lightly!
If the Third Hokage and others discover Uchiha Jin's whereabouts, this matter will definitely not be resolved!
"Don't be nervous. The front camp of Kirigakure is mostly made up of Uchiha and Hyuga clans. Someone is covering for me, so they won't be able to find me!" Uchiha Jin smiled and explained, "And I have a reason to come out this time!"
Those present were all members of Minato's team, and they were all trustworthy people! That's why Uchiha Jin appeared in front of them without any scruples!
"The reason for having to come out?"
Namikaze Minato felt something in his heart and looked at Uchiha Jin with burning eyes!
"Sit down and talk!"
Uchiha Jin glanced at everyone and raised his hand to signal.
Namikaze Minato and others did not object, and each found a comfortable place to sit on the ground.
Uchiha Jin waited until everyone was seated before he spoke: "This war has lasted for nearly eight years, and we are all exhausted!"
"No matter what the final outcome of this war is, Konoha has suffered heavy losses!"
"And as the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen is to blame for some mistakes in decision-making. His position as Hokage has come to an end!"
"I believe you have all heard some rumors about this!"
In the early days of the war, facing the provocation of Sunagakure, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was worried about pursuing peace, did not respond in the first time, allowing the arrogance of Sunagakure to grow, causing the war to enter a stalemate stage, and letting Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure all fall one after another!
You must know that Sunagakure is the weakest ninja village among the five major countries, and Konoha Village is recognized as the number one ninja village in the ninja world!
If Sarutobi Hiruzen could concentrate Konoha's superior forces at the beginning and cripple Sunagakure in one fell swoop, this war might not have developed into what it is now!
At least it wouldn't last so long!
After the defeat of Sunagakure, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not ask for any war compensation from Sunagakure in order to appease the village, and even made concessions in some aspects!
This also made many Konoha ninjas dissatisfied!
Sarutobi Hiruzen made many wrong decisions in this war because of his mentality of seeking peace, and the resentment in the village is increasing day by day!
In order to give an explanation to the villagers of Konoha Village, there has been a rumor in Konoha Village that Sarutobi Hiruzen will step down as Hokage after the war!
And this is also what Sarutobi Hiruzen deliberately released to appease the people of Konoha!
Uchiha Jin continued: "Even if I didn't come, this war would have come to an end!"
"Maybe Kumogakure and Iwagakure will not cease fighting so quickly, but with the three of us restraining each other, we will not launch a large-scale war again!"
"At most, there will be some small frictions on the border!"
Although Iwagakure and Kumogakure still have the strength to fight, the third generation of Raikage died in Iwagakure, which is a blood feud!
The Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village both declared war on Konoha at the same time, which led to a three-way melee, where no one trusts anyone else!
If either the Hidden Rock Village or the Hidden Cloud Village wants to launch a large-scale war against Konoha, they have to consider whether the other party will stab them in the back and take advantage of them!
So the war is basically over here!
Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "Indeed! I have received the transfer order from the Third Hokage, and I will rush back to Konoha for recuperation in the near future!"
"At the same time, the Third Hokage also hinted in his private message to me that he would support me to become the Fourth Hokage after I return!"
Uchiha Jin smiled when he heard this and said, "It seems that our Hokage still thinks highly of you, Minato!"
Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly and shook his head, "He doesn't think highly of me, but of the power, and wants to treat me as a puppet!"
"Just like what you said in the book you wrote, Jin, use the emperor to command the princes!"
If it was the Namikaze Minato in the original work, he would probably be happily preparing to become the Fourth Hokage when he received the private message from Sarutobi Hiruzen!
But under the deliberate indoctrination of Uchiha Jin over the years, Namikaze Minato is no longer the same as before. He is no longer the political novice in the original work and naturally he can see through Sarutobi Hiruzen's true thoughts!
For this reason, Uchiha Jin even specially copied some of his previous life's books on power struggles such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Thick Black Studies" for Minato Namikaze to learn!
"Not bad, Minato, you are making more and more progress!" Uchiha Jin first praised, and then said: "Logically speaking, the best candidate for the fourth Hokage should be Orochimaru!"
"Orochimaru has a calm personality and outstanding vision. Not only is he strong, but he also made outstanding contributions in the Second and Third Ninja World Wars!"
"No matter from which aspect, Orochimaru can be competent for the position of Hokage!"
"But he is too suitable, so suitable that the third generation can no longer control him, so the third generation can only give up on him!"
In terms of strength alone, the current Namikaze Minato is no weaker than Orochimaru.
But in terms of background, Namikaze Minato, who has just risen in this war, is absolutely incomparable with Orochimaru!
It's like the current positions of the two are very different!
In this war, Namikaze Minato is like a firefighter, moving wherever he is needed!
Orochimaru first served as the commander-in-chief on the front line of Sunagakure, and now he is the commander-in-chief on the front line of Kumogakure Village. He is Namikaze Minato's direct superior!
If they really fight, Namikaze Minato can't win against Orochimaru at all!
Upon hearing this, Namikaze Minato did not refute. He nodded seriously and said, "Indeed, Senior Orochimaru is capable of being Hokage in all aspects except that he has a little cold personality!"
"Let's not talk about Orochimaru for now. He has no chance!" Uchiha Jin continued, "Minato, the Third Generation will definitely test you after you go back this time!"
"Before everything is settled, you should not get too close to our Uchiha clan, so there are some things I can only say to you here!"
Namikaze Minato showed a solemn expression, waiting for Uchiha Jin's next words!
