The next day, Minato directly made the investigation results of the incident public, without any concealment, and Utatane Koharu's death was directly pressed by Minato as an already executed act.
This is clearly telling Sarutobi Hiruzen and others that Utatane Koharu's death was caused by him alone.
Uchiha Fugaku also breathed a sigh of relief when he learned of Utatane Koharu's death. If Utatane Koharu does not die, then he really has no way to explain to the clan.
As for the family members of the Third Elder of the Uchiha clan and Utatane Koharu, they all abolished the their chakra, making them a waste person for life. This is already a very serious punishment. For some people, being a waste person is more terrifying than death.
After all, even in the village, they had made a lot of enemies before. Although these people couldn't directly kill them, it was okay to bully them from time to time.
Although this matter can be said to have been resolved satisfactorily so far, the state between the village and the Uchiha clan can no longer go back. Although they all know that someone is deliberately sowing discord between them, they have to admit that this plan has succeeded.
The Third Hokage did not find Minato again, because he knew that if he were to find him again, then the two sides would very likely have a conflict.
And after this incident, the atmosphere within the Uchiha clan became very strange, and some people's restless minds seemed to become active again.
Time is passing bit by bit, like a white horse passing a gap, unable to catch his trace, soon, a month has passed.
"Yo, Minato, long time no see."
At this time, a somewhat rough voice sounded in Minato's ear. Hearing this voice, a smile appeared on Minato's face. Then he looked in the direction of the window, and a figure with white long hair appeared in his eyes.
"Jiraiya-sensei, long time no see, I didn't expect you to suddenly return to the village."
The person who came was Jiraiya, who was one of the few people who could give Minato his true heart.
"I heard that you have done a big thing in the village recently."
After jumping into the office, Jiraiya spoke directly.
"Jiraiya-sensei, did the Third Hokage asked you to come back?"
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Minato's expression sank slightly.
"Yes and no, although the old man wanted me to come back, but this time I came back, it's not to deal with the trivial matters of your power struggle."
It must be said that the Third Hokage is very clear about Minato's temperament. If Jiraiya is in the village, Minato will definitely not be so presumptuous, after all, he still has to look at Jiraiya's face.
"So, teacher, did you come back this time because of the Akatsuki organization?"
Although Minato has been at peace for a while, he is particularly concerned about the Akatsuki organization. After all, just from the few known individual members, it can be seen that the Akatsuki organization is definitely a threat to the ninja world.
"Yes."
Jiraiya nodded seriously.
"Recently, I have tried several times and various ways to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization, but every time I ended in failure, and even a few times, I almost stayed there."
Now Jiraiya's target is not just Orochimaru alone.
"Even the teacher almost didn't come back?"
"Yes, every member inside has at least the level of an elite Jonin, and a few individual ninjas have already reached the shadow level. For this organization, we must try our best to grasp all their actions."
"So, teacher, do you have any way to infiltrate?"
Minato asked, Jiraiya has wanted to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization more than once, and should have some experience.
"Through my several infiltrations, all members of the Akatsuki organization are either rebel ninjas from various ninja villages or extremely evil people, so it is not easy for us to insert personnel into their interior."
Jiraiya also had some worries, he really didn't have a good way.
"Or else we create a rebel ninja ourselves and insert it into them, how about it?"
Suddenly, Minato's eyes lit up and he said.
"This is indeed a good method, but how should we create a rebel ninja? You know, rebel ninjas with lower sins, the Akatsuki organization will not accept, and all members of the Akatsuki organization are personally invited by internal personnel, so the people we create, if they do not meet their requirements, no one will invite them at all.
And even if they really invite, but what if one day the identity is exposed, it is really difficult to want to come out alive, so even if you insert people into it, at least it must be a powerful person, even if there is no shadow level strength, it must be close to the shadow level strength."
Jiraiya said, they can't let their people make unnecessary sacrifices.
"But such people, let them perform Konohagakure's tasks, for Konohagakure, it is also a loss."
The shadow level is the important force of the village, no matter how many Genin, Chunin and Jonin a village has, no shadow level ninja is important.
"And if you want to let other people in the ninja world believe that a kage level ninja betrays the village, the price that needs to be paid is really too great."
"So I hope you can give this task to me."
Jiraiya stared straight into Minato's eyes and said firmly.
"No."
Without thinking, Minato directly refused.
"Teacher, you can't go on such a dangerous mission."
To say that there is no selfishness, that is definitely impossible.
"Is there anyone else in Konohagakure village besides me who is suitable for this task?"
"But Jiraiya-sensei, you are the least suitable candidate."
"Why?"
Jiraiya's tone was somewhat anxious, the plan was proposed by him, but why was he not the most suitable person to execute the task.
"Jiraiya-sensei, don't forget, Orochimaru is still in the Akatsuki organization. Even if other people really believe that you betrayed Konohagakure, do you think Orochimaru will believe it?"
In an instant, Jiraiya was a bit stunned. Yes, he forgot Orochimaru. He was only thinking about the harm of the Akatsuki to the ninja world, but he forgot what was the opportunity for him to contact the Akatsuki.
"So, no matter what, Jiraiya-sensei, you can't go on this mission."
"Then who do you say to send?"
Suddenly, the figure of Hatake Satoru appeared in Namikaze Minato's mind, but soon, he dismissed the idea.
"Hatake Satoru is clearly not suitable for this task. To disguise Hatake Satoru as an S-class rebel, unless Hatake Satoru destroys Konohagakure village, it is absolutely impossible.
After all, it is known that Hatake Satoru has the ability to kill Tailed Beasts alone. As long as it is not too excessive, he will turn a blind eye, and other people in the ninja world naturally understand the value of Hatake Satoru.
So to say that Hatake Satoru was sentenced to Konohagakure because of some small things, no one would believe it.
"Let's just go with the flow for now, Jiraiya-sensei, we just need to keep an eye on them first, and wait until they take some action, then it's not too late for us to plan."
"Alright."
