Although not as righteous and glorious as in the original work, overall, it was still quite good.
Compared to the Konoha Higher-Ups, who were rotten to the core, Minato's Team seemed much simpler.
Especially Namikaze Minato.
Although he could not have been as naive as depicted in the original story, given that he rose from a commoner to this position.
But, at the same time.
The sunny and cheerful Namikaze Minato truly was like a little sun.
No wonder.
The Uchiha Clan in the original story would unconditionally support him to become the Fourth Hokage.
Even Uchiha Jin, despite only meeting him for the first time, found it hard to harbor any ill will towards him.
"Should I support Namikaze Minato?"
"This way, after he takes office, as long as I help him get through the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack, then I can just lie flat and be a slacker?"
"No, that won't work."
"Namikaze Minato is good in all aspects, but the problem is that his foundation is too weak."
"Even if I help him get through the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack, he won't be able to truly control Konoha."
"..."
Uchiha Jin shook his head and gave a bitter smile.
He only wanted to lie flat and be a slacker, he really didn't want to make himself too tired.
Nara Kazama's plan was too troublesome!
If he could be lazy, he really didn't want to make it so tiring.
Wouldn't it be great to just lie flat and slack off, quietly waiting to get stronger, and then directly suppress the entire Shinobi World?
But, what a pity!
Namikaze Minato was just a pawn; even if he truly became Hokage, he was destined to be under Sarutobi Hiruzen's command.
He was just a puppet.
As a commoner, he had no foundation.
Even if he himself was a genius, even if there were a group of people willing to follow him.
But, it wasn't enough!
More accurately, it was far from enough.
Without the support of a Ninja Clan behind him, he wanted to fight Sarutobi Hiruzen?
That was a joke!
How did Sarutobi Hiruzen stabilize his position as Hokage back then?
Firstly, he came from the Sarutobi Clan, and all the ninjas in his entire clan supported him unconditionally.
The Utatane, Mito, and Shimura Ninja Clans also sided with Sarutobi Hiruzen to gain power.
Akizuki Michi, Uchiha Kagami.
Their support for Sarutobi Hiruzen, though not comparable to those three Ninja Clans, was still considered half support for Sarutobi Hiruzen because they were both disciples of the Second Hokage.
And even, Akizuki Michi also brought in the Ino-Shika-Cho.
Even under these circumstances, Sarutobi Hiruzen still didn't fully stabilize his position.
Instead, he truly solidified his position by leading the victory in the Second Great Ninja War and, in the process, eliminating the Senju Clan.
What about Namikaze Minato?
First, he was a commoner, so he inherently lacked the support of a Ninja Clan.
His master, Jiraiya, was a wanderer; although he had many supporters in Konoha, he didn't have any true subordinates besides his reputation.
Overall, he couldn't provide support!
Although he was friends with Nara Shikaku and others, that was only good personal acquaintance.
On the surface, they were naturally willing to respect this Hokage, but once Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen clashed, the Ino-Shika-Cho would still unhesitatingly side with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
It had nothing to do with right or wrong, it was for the family.
Namikaze Minato's foundation was too weak, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's influence was too great.
Even if their personal relationship with Namikaze Minato was good, on an issue concerning the family's survival, they would have to side with Sarutobi Hiruzen, no matter how unwilling they were.
Throughout the original story.
Until his death, the only true force belonging to Namikaze Minato was the Hokage Guard Squad.
Only four people!
Even the Hokage's direct Anbu, Namikaze Minato couldn't control.
"Forget it, why am I thinking about this?"
"With Kazama and Shisui, the original plan is quite good."
"I should just go home and sleep."
Shaking his head helplessly, Uchiha Jin was too lazy to think further.
However.
He felt a slight regret in his heart.
Minato's Team had good character, but unfortunately, they were targeted by Old Man Madara.
For Obito to awaken his Mangekyo, Nohara Rin was most likely doomed to die.
Kakashi would most likely follow the old path, and Namikaze Minato would probably still be unavoidable from death.
But, forget it.
It didn't have much to do with him!
He had already been grounded by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and now he couldn't even leave the Konoha gates.
Thinking too much was useless; he might as well just lie flat and slack off.
"Teacher, do you hate the Uchiha?" Itachi suddenly asked.
Uchiha Jin paused: "Why do you ask that?"
Itachi did not hide anything.
He immediately repeated Ayame's words.
Uchiha Jin's mouth twitched.
So, that was it.
Ayame had sold him out!
Shaking his head helplessly, he casually said.
"If there was never any love, then what is there to hate?"
"The Uchiha Clan, to me, is just a group of strangers."
---Please give flowers--- "Actually, to be honest."
"I didn't even want to deal with the Uchiha, but due to various coincidences, I still became entangled with the Uchiha."
"Of course, the main reason is that your father gave too much."
"You can understand it as me being bought by your father with money."
Yes.
Uchiha Jin really couldn't resist Fugaku's lavish spending.
Money makes the world go round; the ancients truly did not deceive me!
"Uh, is that so?" Uchiha Itachi looked awkward.
Clearly.
He had never imagined that the truth of the matter would actually be like this.
Just throwing money around at the slightest disagreement?
As the clan leader's son, he truly had no concept of money.
Uchiha Jin shook his head.
"Why think so much? Anyway, I will teach you well. Just remember to come to my house tomorrow."
...Seeing that the two had already reached the clan compound, and not fearing that Itachi, the clan leader's son, would get lost, he immediately waved his hand and prepared to go home to sleep.
