Chapter 157 Omen

Danzo proposed to extract the two tails to gain another tailed beast for Konoha before Minato Namikaze returned to the village. Google Search Reading If he hadn't returned in advance, he might have really started to implement it. If he really did it, Yakushi Nono would certainly not have the chance to exchange it back...

In fact, it was not surprising that Orochimaru, who was very close to Danzo, heard about this.

However, Minato Namikaze was in a very complicated mood at the moment. He looked at the abyss-like desire in Orochimaru's golden pupils and felt a deep sense of helplessness. He felt that it might be difficult for him to tie Orochimaru to Konoha...

Because, just before the meeting started, he received a message saying that the last team of wounded soldiers and medical troops who were about to evacuate the Grass Country had all been confirmed to have lost contact. And the person in charge of the team brought back was Orochimaru. This message shows that Orochimaru's desire to pursue immortality by any means can no longer be stopped.

In the past, there were only one or two people, but now dozens of people have been kidnapped at once. This matter has become so serious that the village cannot turn a blind eye to it. It is imperative to thoroughly investigate the truth and give an explanation to the families of the missing.

However, Minato Namikaze knew that a thorough investigation could be omitted.

Because there is a 100% possibility that this matter was done by Orochimaru, and even if it is investigated, it is unlikely to have any results.

Just as he was considering whether to announce this incident at the meeting, the long-awaited discordant voice finally came.

"Humph, you say that the fourth generation has made great contributions, I don't agree!"

As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

However, Danzo Shimura, who felt the burning eyes of the crowd, did not care and continued to criticize: "As a ninja, the fourth generation did fight bravely and made great achievements, but as a Hokage, the fourth generation was brave but not strategic enough."

"Danzo, what do you mean by this?" Utatane Koharu asked puzzledly.

"If there are any post-war arrangements that are not handled properly, just speak up, Master Danzo..." Danzo's words startled Nara Shikaku. This battle deployment was actually jointly formulated by him and Minato Namikaze. He was also denied by saying that he was not well-planned, so he thought that some post-war handling work might not be done well.

However, Shimura Danzo ignored the two people, but raised his eyes and looked directly at Minato Namikaze on the main seat, and asked in a questioning tone: "Fourth Generation, I heard that you almost caused the Nine-Tails in your body to run wild in the battle to capture the Cloud Ninja Two-Tails Jinchuriki. Is this true?"

"What? There is such a thing?"

"Nine-Tails run wild?! This is not trivial..."

Among the people present, almost most of them had experienced the previous Nine-Tails Rebellion. The scene of the demon fox raging like a natural disaster and the powerlessness of the Konoha ninjas in the face of it were all vivid in their minds.

After hearing this, the two consultants subconsciously felt a little scared.

Without waiting for Minato Namikaze to answer, Mizuto Kadokome asked seriously, "Fourth Hokage, did this really happen?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Minato Namikaze.

Jiraiya looked concerned, Orochimaru looked interested, Tsunade, Uchiha Fugaku and Nara Shikaku were slightly shocked.

As for the person involved, Minato Namikaze, although he was calm on the surface, was already extremely surprised in his heart. He didn't understand how Danzo knew about this matter? Originally, he thought that at this meeting, Danzo would at most criticize himself for wanting to replace Nono with the wooden man, but he never thought that the Nine-Tails' almost runaway incident would become a handle.

Thinking that if he didn't admit it, there might be more excuses later, Minato Namikaze hesitated and frankly admitted it.

"It's true..."

"Did you see that? As the Hokage of Konoha, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of the village, he actually risked the Nine-Tails in his body for the sake of the Two-Tails, causing the Nine-Tails in his body to almost go berserk. I said that such a decision is not in line with his identity as the Kage of Konoha. Is that wrong?"

Seeing that Minato Namikaze actually admitted it directly, Danzo was immediately delighted.

Minato Namikaze frowned and fell into a brief silence.

At this point, he no longer had time to think about how Danzo knew that the Nine-Tails almost went berserk. The most important thing now is that he really can't think of any excuse for this accusation.

What's more, he was indeed a bit impulsive when he took the risk to capture the tailed beast.

After seeing Minato Namikaze admit it, the people present had different expressions for a while.

Minato Namikaze, who was praised just a moment ago, suddenly became the object of controversy. Jiraiya, who cared the most about Minato Namikaze, probably couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help saying, "Danzo-sama, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. The Fourth Hokage must have had his own considerations at the time, so he took the risk to make such a decision. But if you say that Minato didn't have the Hokage's judgment, it's too much, right?

Besides, according to the results, the Fourth Hokage didn't let the Nine-Tails go berserk in the end, right?"

After all, he was a mentor, and he didn't hesitate to protect his shortcomings. But although Minato Namikaze was grateful in his heart, he didn't think Jiraiya's words would have any effect.

After hearing this, Danzo was really blunt and immediately retorted, "Jiraiya, you are just a pure warrior's thinking. You have been on missions outside for many years, and you don't understand what kind of pattern the Hokage should have, and how important the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is to the village."

"As the Kage of Konoha, when necessary, you should even place the Nine-Tails above your own life!"

"The Fourth Hokage was just lucky this time, but what about the next time? Can you imagine what kind of dangerous situation the village will fall into if the Nine-Tails of Konoha fails?!!"

Although Danzo's words were a bit alarmist, they still refuted Jiraiya speechless.

What's not good is that the two consultants at this time actually agreed with Danzo's point of view.

Mitomon En said bluntly: "Fourth Hokage, I didn't expect that such a dangerous thing would happen in the battle to capture the Two-Tails. You didn't tell us before..."

"We agree with Danzo's point of view on this matter..."

Without any surprise, Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu, as conservatives, also stood on Danzo's side on this matter.

However, at this time, Minato Namikaze was still not panicked, because he suddenly wanted to see what tricks Shimura Danzo, who was unaware of his impending complete downfall, could use in the end.

Sure enough, Danzo, who finally gained the upper hand, raised his mouth slightly.

He launched a victory pursuit, and changed the subject: "In fact, in addition to this, there is another more important matter. I hope the Fourth Generation can give a reasonable explanation."

"I heard that the Fourth Generation rejected the resolution to extract the Two-Tails and wanted to exchange prisoners with a captured Konoha Anbu who fell into the hands of Kumogakure?"
