Chapter 541: Minato and Kyuubi's Divine Connection

Chapter 536: The Divine Connection between Minato and Kyuubi

Three days later, all the tail ends of the Nine-Tailed Fox War were dealt with, and the regular meeting that would be held after each battle also began.

At the beginning of the meeting, Minato handed out a document to everyone except Danzo.

Danzo frowned, having a bad feeling. He glanced at the Third Hokage who winked at him. Danzo just frowned and waited quietly for the result.

"You all have seen this, right? So, there should be no point in everyone agreeing to remove Shimura Danzo from his position as Advisory Elder and transfer leadership of the Root?"

"!!!" After hearing what Minato said, Danzo looked at the Third Hokage in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the Third Hokage would agree to such a thing without revealing any information in advance!

Feeling Danzo's gaze, the Third Hokage slowly closed his eyes.

This result was not what he wanted to see. No matter what, he always felt guilty towards Danzo.

But as Shiro said, Minato is the Hokage now, and his reputation is not low. If he wants to rule behind the scenes, he must first ask Shiro and the others whether they agree.

So at this moment, he simply decided to ignore it and avoid being bothered. The other advisors also avoided Danzo's gaze in a similar way.

Knowing that he could not get help from other elders, Danzo simply made up his mind and jumped out himself!

There is no other way. This punishment is equivalent to letting him retire. He can accept the dissolution of the root. In that way, he can rely on his management of the root for so many years to make some small moves, and it is not impossible for him to make a comeback.

But handing it over won't work! By then, the roots will definitely be eaten up and then disbanded!

"Hokage-sama! I have made many contributions to the village. Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation? I also tried my best to stop the leader of Akatsuki two days ago!"

Minato glanced at Danzo and gave him a slight signal with his eyes. An Anbu appeared directly behind Danzo and handed a document to him from beside his neck without any hindrance!

Danzo subconsciously wanted to defend himself, but unfortunately, with his hands disabled, he couldn't do such a difficult task and could only let the Anbu spread out the documents beside him.

"Ke'er~!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Danzo finished reading the document with a dark face, took a deep breath, and wanted to save the situation, but he was kicked out like this. He was really unwilling to accept it!

"It was Hokage-sama who saved me three days ago, so Hokage-sama should know how I lost my hands. I sacrificed my arms to protect the village, and in the end, this is the result. How can I get the villagers to work together in the future? How can I convince them?"

Danzo became more and more excited as he spoke. He glanced at the participants and his gaze finally stopped on Fugaku.

"On the contrary, some families did not contribute much when the village was in crisis, but they were frequently given important positions. If this continues, how can the village develop in the long run? Hokage, I hope you can handle this matter fairly!"

"Ah~ Shiro."

"clear."

In response, Shiro pulled out a document from under the table, opened it, and threw it in front of Danzo.

"Look, these are all evidence that you leaked the Jinchūriki's birth date. In other words, you are the one who started this battle. A hero? Do you deserve it?

Let's talk about the Uchiha clan. During the chaos three days ago, the Uchiha clan dispatched more than 30 senior ninjas to engage in direct combat with the enemy. Almost all capable members of the clan were trying their best to evacuate and protect the villagers. Is this what you call inaction?

I'd like to ask you, where was your Root three days ago? As a powerful force in the village, you suddenly disappeared when the village was in crisis. Do you think you are still fit to lead the Root?"

"My main responsibility is to provide fresh blood for the Anbu. My own strength is not very strong, so..."

"Then explain why the Anbu recruited by the Root couldn't even stop a mere rebel ninja? In the defensive battle three days ago, the death rate of the Anbu recruited by the Root was as high as 80%!"

"Bang!" Shiro stood up suddenly, slammed his hands on the table, and lay down on the table looking down at Danzo.

"Is this what you call fresh blood?"

"Okay Shiro, be respectful to Danzo-senpai, at least use honorifics." After Shiro finished speaking, Minato asked Shiro to sit down in a deep voice, then looked at Danzo with a smile.

"I'm sorry," Shiro's tone was a bit harsh. Minato knew that this couldn't be blamed on Danzo-senpai. After all, Danzo-senpai was old, and his energy was inevitably insufficient. It was understandable that he couldn't manage the consultants and the Root at the same time.

It just so happens that you are seriously injured now, so you should take a rest for a while. Minato will take care of these things for the time being. Although the Hokage has more things to do, this is unavoidable for the sake of the village."

After saying this, Minato no longer paid attention to Danzo, whose face was dark, and glanced at the silent crowd. He announced directly: "Then this matter is settled. Shimura Danzo will be dismissed from his position as advisor. The Root will be temporarily managed by me, and will be gradually integrated into the Anbu in the future. The relevant powers will be returned to the Anbu."

Afterwards, the meeting discussed various plans for the village, including but not limited to post-disaster reconstruction, follow-up planning for the air and land plan, the latest research department results report, compensation arrangements for sacrificed ninjas, etc.

These matters were relatively uncontroversial and proceeded quickly, until a disagreement arose over Naruto's handling of the situation.

Most people expressed the hope of transferring the Nine-Tails and sealing it in a baby, but that was too risky. It just so happened that the research department now had the ability to ensure the safety of the Jinchūriki after transferring the Nine-Tails.

This proposal was made by the Third Hokage, who said that the Nine-Tails could be sealed in Naruto instead of Kushina. Someone else could be found to seal it, even if they couldn't control the Nine-Tails' power. In short, the Nine-Tails could not be sealed in Naruto.

Minato could understand this. After all, the Third Hokage was doing it for Naruto's own good. Konoha didn't need the power of the Nine-Tails now, and didn't need to control it. However, if the Nine-Tails was released and they didn't deal with it in time, Naruto would die!

However, this was strongly opposed by Minato. Indeed, Konoha did not need this power, and even Naruto did not need this power.

However, Minato believed that it was time to purify the resentment in the hearts of the tailed beasts. The example of Shukaku had shown that the tailed beasts were not impossible to communicate with, and from the documents and relics that Orochimaru, Shiro and others had consulted and searched, it was fully demonstrated that there would be powerful enemies in the future.

Furthermore, these documents also hint at the need for the power of a perfect Jinchūriki to overcome difficulties.

Therefore, under the influence of various factors, Minato had to resolve the resentment in the Nine-Tails' heart. The contact with Chakra that day not only allowed the Nine-Tails to sense Minato's inner thoughts, but he also sensed the Nine-Tails' inner thoughts.

The bottomless loneliness besides resentment is still fresh in Minato's memory.

In the end, at the insistence of Minato and Shiro, the resolution to transfer the Nine-Tails was abandoned. As a compromise, Naruto's future training would be personally undertaken by Minato and Shiro.

Before Naruto can master the power of the Nine-Tails, he cannot leave the village alone. If he does, he must be accompanied by either Minato or Shiro.

Because of these two people, one is the fastest in the ninja world and can retreat in time no matter what the situation is, and Shiro, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in the ninja world. If he can free the Nine-Tails from him, there is no point in staying in the village.
