Now Oonoki is determined to attack Konohagakure, even at the risk of abdication. If he really abdicates, he has already chosen the position of the next Tsuchikage, and his son Kitsuchi is fully qualified to be the Tsuchikage.
And Minato, who had just contacted Oonoki, felt Oonoki's angry emotions and couldn't help but feel a lot of relief in his heart. He dared to take action against his family. Now that he hasn't gone to Iwagakure Village to kill him directly, he has given him enough face.
"Minato, you're being too irrational."
Across from Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said, whether it's the Hyuga clan's Byakugan or the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, every matter is very important, so this also gave the Third Hokage a bit of a desire to come out of retirement. If he can handle this matter well, he might be able to regain some power from Minato.
"If we really go to war with Iwagakure Village, it will cause no small loss to our Konohagakure."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with concern.
"Don't worry, Third Hokage, if a war really breaks out, then I will take care of Iwagakure Village."
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded behind Sarutobi Hiruzen. Hearing this voice, everyone knew who it was, Hatake Satoru.
"Hatake Satoru, if there is an accident, can you bear it?"
Before the Third Hokage could speak, Shimura Danzo on the side took the lead in speaking.
"Danzo, is it your turn to speak here? If you don't want to die, then shut your stinky mouth. I haven't settled the account with you about my father yet."
A terrifying chakra erupted directly from Hatake Satoru's body, and all the people in the office immediately felt a mysterious and terrifying pressure, as if the air here had become much heavier.
"You..."
Danzo wanted to say something, but feeling the murderous intent on Hatake Satoru's body that was about to condense into substance, he obediently shut his mouth. Danzo is not stupid, on the contrary, he is a very smart person. He knows that there are several people in Konohagakure Village who want to get rid of him. Even if Hatake Satoru kills him in front of everyone now, he will only receive some light punishment at most. Besides, once he dies, there will be nothing left.
"Alright, Satoru, put away your chakra."
Namikaze Minato said, easing the atmosphere a bit.
"But even if Satoru can handle Iwagakure Ninja, Kumogakure Ninja is not so easy to deal with. We have no evidence to prove that they want to take the Byakugan from the Hyuga family, but those four Kumogakure Ninja did indeed die on our Konohagakure territory. If the other party starts to make trouble, it will be very disadvantageous for us."
The Third Hokage spoke again.
Hearing this, both Namikaze Minato and Danzo looked at the Third Hokage with displeasure.
"Hiruzen, you're too timid now."
Danzo said directly. Among these people, only he had the right to say that the Third Hokage was timid.
Although Danzo really coveted the position of Hokage, he still hoped that Konohagakure would become better and stronger, rather than shrinking back.
So even though he is now on the same side as the Third Hokage, he still dislikes the other's actions.
"Third Hokage, we Konohagakure are still the strongest among the five major ninja villages. Even if we go to war, we will definitely win."
Minato also spoke.
Hearing his old friend and the Fourth Hokage say this, the Third Hokage suddenly felt a bit choked. Perhaps he was really old. He just hoped that Konohagakure Village could develop peacefully.
The Third Hokage also noticed the ambition in the eyes of the Fourth Hokage. He knew that whatever he said now would be useless. If the other party wanted to go to war, then Minato would definitely accompany them to the end.
"Alright, but Minato, let me remind you. If the war causes huge losses to the village, then the Daimyo will definitely revoke your position as Hokage."
"Thank you for the reminder, Third Hokage, but I think, by then, the ones who should have suffered huge losses should be them."
A sharp look appeared in Minato's eyes.
As long as the four major ninja villages do not attack Konohagakure at the same time, Namikaze Minato is confident of winning.
"Sigh, maybe I'm really old."
The Third Hokage shook his head and then sat there, not speaking.
"Hokage-sama, Raikage has sent a message, hoping that we can give them an explanation for the four dead Kumogakure Ninja."
Shikaku heard something like a phone in his hand.
"Raikage, your Kumogakure Ninja kidnapped our Hyuga clan, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Hokage took the call device from Shikaku's hand and said seriously.
"Hokage, you said our people kidnapped your Hyuga clan, do you have evidence?"
Raikage's rough voice reached Minato's ears.
"You have no evidence, but our people did die on your Konohagakure territory, which is a fact."
When he said this, there was a hint of smugness in Raikage's tone.
He had already predicted that Konohagakure would definitely not have evidence of their Kumogakure Ninja taking action. He had ordered before the mission that if the plan failed and was discovered, they would commit suicide directly and not leave any traces for Konohagakure.
"So what do you want?"
Namikaze Minato asked with a frown.
"It's simple, hand over the head of your Hyuga clan."
Finally, Raikage revealed his plan.
"Impossible."
Without thinking, Minato directly refused. He was not very sure whether the kidnapping of Hyuga was Raikage's plan or the result of a few Kumogakure Ninja acting on their own, but now he was sure.
"So, killing our ninja, without any explanation, do you want to go to war with our Kumogakure Ninja, Hokage?"
This sentence was full of threatening tone.
"Do you think I would be afraid of you, Raikage?"
Minato also showed his strong side.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you just now, that old man Oonoki had just planned to join me in attacking Konohagakure, but I refused. But now that I think about it, it's not impossible to agree."
"Raikage, are you threatening me?"
A murderous aura emerged directly from Minato's body.
"You can understand it that way, Hokage, either hand over the head of your Hyuga clan, or go to war with the two major ninja villages at the same time. Hokage, you are a smart person, I think you should make the right decision, right?"
From his tone, it seemed that he had already taken Minato for granted.
"Then let's go to war."
As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the Hokage office dropped a few degrees.
"Are you sure, Hokage? Do you really think that your Konohagakure can withstand the two major ninja villages at the same time?"
Raikage's tone also became much heavier. He didn't expect Minato's attitude to be so tough, completely unafraid of the outbreak of war.
