Namikaze Minato almost said these words to invite Aoba to join the high-level officials of Konoha Village.
He really felt that Qing Yuqing was very suitable to do some work to assist him.
To a certain extent.
Namikaze Minato doesn't have any special confidants in the Leaf Village, and he doesn't have anyone who is very trustworthy. All of this needs to be cultivated with sincerity.
However, Qingyu is that person, Qingyu, who can help him to a certain extent under appropriate circumstances.
And he also believes in Qingyu very much.
But the problem is also very obvious.
That is, Qingyu seems unwilling to take over such a thing now.
Namikaze Minato knew the pros and cons of such a situation, so he would not force Qingyu to do anything.
That is to say.
Namikaze Minato is still willing to respect Aoyu's opinion.
But under such a premise.
All things did not develop as easily as imagined.
Namikaze Minato really hoped that the youth hostel could come out to assist him, but he was unwilling to cause any further difficulties for Aoyu on this matter, so he didn't say much.
at the same time.
Namikaze Minato felt that there were some words that he didn't need to say.
If Qingyu is willing to come out to help him one day in the future.
Then Qingyu will come out naturally.
If the request is too forceful.
It is very likely to have the opposite effect.
Instead, it would be better to give Qingyu more free space.
At this moment, this is what Namikaze Minato was thinking.
Namikaze Minato has many plans regarding Aoyu's matter. After all, many things here are not his own. He needs to consider some of Aoyu's feelings.
To a certain extent, he really hopes that Qingyu can come here to assist him and work together towards a better direction for Konoha Village in the future.
But he also knows that this kind of thing cannot be forced.
Nothing can be forced.
"Can I understand it this way?"
Namikaze Minato raised his eyes and looked at Aoyu, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. After Aoyu's explanation, he actually already had his own understanding of many things.
"Everything we have done before is actually not just as simple as staying on the surface. It has also completed a change in the hearts of the people of Konoha Village."
Namikaze Minato said in a deep voice.
In fact, this was an angle that he had never considered before.
He didn't think about this place at all before, because he didn't think about whether a public opinion could attract the attention of many people, nor did he think that it would indirectly change the image difference between him and the third generation in the Konoha Village.
All of a sudden.
The reader thought of many, many things, and he also found some answers he wanted to know in these questions.
"That's right."
Aoyu nodded almost without hesitation, because this was exactly the feeling he wanted to convey to Namikaze Minato.
From this current perspective.
In fact, Aoba hoped that Namikaze Minato could relax a little and stop thinking about the current situation.
That's not to say it's time to relax.
Because Namikaze Minato has indeed experienced a lot of things in this process.
On this basis, he felt that there was no need for Namikaze Minato to still be wary during the ceremony of taking office as Hokage. After all, this ceremony only happened once, and after experiencing it once, it would not happen again.
Unless Namikaze Minato passes the position of Hokage of Konoha Village to the fifth generation, he will experience it again. However, according to historical experience, Namikaze Minato has only experienced it once. Now Qingyu has changed to some extent. The fate of Namikaze Minato, but this is not very sure what kind of result Namikaze Minato will reach in the end.
Qingyu didn't know how his butterfly wings could flap.
But for him, he felt that it was good to be able to help Namikaze Minato to this extent.
And he didn't know what kind of danger Namikaze Minato would encounter in the future, because the current situation seemed to have no danger at all.
Almost everything has been resolved at this time.
Now that the apparent dangers that Qingyu knows have been eliminated in many places, the remaining details will actually gradually arise with the development of the current era.
This is a relatively strange phenomenon.
Because of Qingyu's existence, he pried open a Pandora's box, like a domino effect, causing the entire Konoha Village to develop in another direction.
The current Konoha Village is completely different from its past historical trajectory.
It is precisely because of this situation that no one knows what will happen to Konoha Village after now, and what kind of disturbance will be caused in the ninja world.
Even Qingyu couldn't imagine how it would develop in the future. This was indeed a relatively big challenge for him.
So he also hopes that Namikaze Minato can cherish this opportunity to become Hokage.
In such a situation.
Aoba doesn't want Minato Namikaze to be more cautious during the Hokage Succession Ceremony. He hopes that Minato Namikaze can enjoy this moment and enjoy the moment when this dream comes true.
That's why he said so many words.
"I see."
Namikaze Minato nodded immediately, a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes. Although his eyes were very concealed, Aoyu was still able to keenly catch it.
"According to what you mean, at this point in time, the entire Konoha Village no longer supports the third generation. Even if the third generation says something bad now and pours that dirty water on me, people will also You won’t believe it easily, and you will even feel that nothing has happened.”
Namikaze Minato immediately understood.
He really didn't think about it from this perspective before.
At that time, he was worried that the Third Generation would take action against him during the Hokage Succession Ceremony, so the big stone hanging in his heart never let go.
At this time.
His hanging heart finally let go.
Namikaze Minato has always trusted Aoyu very much and knows that what Aoyu says now is very beneficial to him.
Qingyu has always been helping him do his best.
That is why.
In his heart, Namikaze Minato believed Aoyu's words very much, so after Aoyu said these things, Namikaze Minato immediately chose to believe it.
Think about it now.
So in the past day, the transfer of power between the three generations and him was indeed a real transfer.
At that time, Namikaze Minato had been wondering when the Third Generation would speak, but he never got an answer.
Now I understand that the third generation actually had no intention of doing anything at that time, but really hoped to calm down the matter and successfully complete the handover of a Hokage.
This can also show that at that point in time, the third generation had already given up.
Namikaze Minato had just now realized that what he was worried about was actually a person who had already declared defeat.
They are not thinking about these issues on the same channel at all.
A lot of things are basically another consideration.
It was precisely because of this that Namikaze Minato felt much more comfortable in his heart.
After going through these things, he gradually understood all the problems that happened here.
at the same time.
Namikaze Minato's psychology also understood many problems more clearly.
It turns out that I have already won.
But he doesn’t know it yet.
If Aoba hadn't mentioned these issues, Namikaze Minato still wouldn't know what was going on.
have to say.
This is indeed a very indescribable feeling.
"Then do I need to make any more preparations?"
Namikaze Minato looked towards Aoyu and expressed the doubts in his heart.
Now he is still a little confused in his heart, but he understands many things compared to before.
That is because he knows that there is a high probability that the third generation will not fight back again, and even if it is a counterattack, it will not have any effect. This can already be seen when the major families announced that they have been dissolved. There really isn't any problem with this.
Namikaze Minato had not noticed this detail before.
But now we have discovered where these problems lie.
Because if these big families do not have such a wish, then there is no need for them to say that the roots have been disbanded at this time. However, the dissolution of the roots is not what happened now, which means that they have known about these problems a long time ago. .
Then a very important phenomenon can be discovered under these problems.
That is, when the people of these big families did not tell the root story at first, they were not sure who the future Hokage would be. But now that they tell the root story, it is equivalent to telling Danzo and Orochimaru. The matter is finally concluded.
As a result, the third generation has no way to make changes through such things. What happened between Danzo and Orochimaru can only fall on the third generation in the end.
So the Seventy-Third Generation had decided to admit defeat when they were here.
This handover was made after all these things came out.
When the third generation officially handed over all the power in their hands.
It can be said that the third generation does not have any bargaining chips in its hands, and everything has entered another era.
All of a sudden.
Namikaze Minato became more understanding of such things.
"Then I don't need to pay attention to anything?"
After Minato Namikaze heard Aoyu's explanation, he got an answer in his heart that made him feel dizzy.
Because everything that happened now made him feel extremely horrified.
It seems that everything happening here is so strange.
after all.
If.
You don’t even need to care about the third generation.
So what else do you need to care about
Nothing is needed at all.
This is what Namikaze Minato is thinking about right now.
It seemed that during the Hokage Succession Ceremony, there was nothing to worry about.
Because the biggest threat just disappeared.
Think of this.
Namikaze Minato's mind still felt dizzy.
He always feels...
Is this too easy
But.
He couldn't imagine any other potential enemies now.
"It's not like you don't want to think about anything..."
Aoyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, because he found that Namikaze Minato did show an interesting point here.
That is, when he was making these things and decisions, he was thinking about the third generation, but he didn't think about anything else except the third generation.
There is no problem with this, after all, the third generation is Namikaze Minato's biggest imaginary enemy.
It is also the place that poses the greatest threat to the position of Hokage.
Except for three generations.
Namikaze Minato couldn't imagine any competitor at all.
After all, he is now the Hokage of Konoha Village in the name of the Fire Country, and the daimyo agrees. In addition, after experiencing the transfer of power, it is equivalent to only one ceremony away, and he can be the Hokage of Konoha Village.
But.
But he always felt a little uneasy.
It seems that there is still something wrong.
But he couldn't express it in his heart.
If the third generation did not obstruct it, then what other force would obstruct it
"If you must be careful..."
At this moment, Aoyu spoke slowly, and he looked towards Namikaze Minato, with a faint fluctuation in his eyes.
"Actually, it's not like you don't have to guard against anything..."
"The Hokage Succession Ceremony in Konoha Village is not that simple."
"If I guess correctly, the other four ninja villages and other forces will send people to the scene by then."
"That's the real Hokage succession ceremony."
"Although this is nominally a matter for the Leaf Village, it is indeed something that the entire ninja world is paying attention to. Many eyes are paying attention here. This is what you should really pay attention to."
Aoba said to Namikaze Minato one sentence after another. His shift from things inside Konoha Village to things outside Konoha Village made Namikaze Minato more aware of the problems that might occur here.
After all, many things are external.
So at the beginning, Konoha Village also faced external problems, because the village has always been very harmonious internally.
Even during the Third Generation's rule, the internal problems in Konoha Village were not that big. The obstacles that Namikaze Minato encountered when he succeeded to the position of Hokage were largely due to Aoba. It is necessary to set some difficulties in communicating with the water gate.
If you get rid of this part.
In fact, the biggest difficulty in Konoha Village is that the third generation stands in the position of Hokage. He is not willing to give up his position easily. Therefore, there are many obstacles for other people to become Hokage, but once they become Hokage, there is no need to do so. You will not encounter particularly strong obstacles.
There aren't that many dissenting voices internally.
Konoha Village is actually a relatively harmonious village.
For Konoha Village.
The real problems have always been external.
From the very beginning of its establishment, Konoha Village has attracted the attention of almost all the ninja world, because at that time there was no concept of a village in the ninja world.
Under such a premise, people gradually discovered that Konoha Village led all families.
Originally, the ninjas fought based on their families, and then these families were tied together to form a village, which instantly became extremely powerful. This also made other cases where families were the unit unable to compete with the village.
It is precisely because of this reason.
For a long time, Konoha Village has been a thorn in the side of many other forces.
After all, the growth of Konoha Village affected their interests to a certain extent, so they passively evolved into several other villages.
Slowly it became what it is today.
But under such a structure, after the village was established, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama actually gathered all the nine tailed beasts to intimidate other humans, and also distributed the tailed beasts, completely Don't take the strength of other villages seriously.
In such a situation.
Konoha Village has become the target of other villages.
As long as there is an opportunity, the other four major villages will unite together and be willing to target Konoha Village together. They very much hope to weaken Konoha Village's strength.
As long as the strength of Konoha Village is reduced to the same level as them, then they will gain more say in the future.
During this period of the Third Generation's rule, the strength of Konoha Village was greatly reduced, causing the gap between them to close indefinitely.
It is also at such a critical moment.
The other four major villages all thought that they could trample the Leaf Village under their feet through the strength they had accumulated over the years.
Then complete a subversion of the strength of the entire ninja world.
But in such a situation.
During the Third Ninja War, Namikaze Minato turned out to stop all fevers and allowed Konoha Village to stand at the top of the ninja world again. In addition, Namikaze Minato was about to become the fourth member of Konoha Village. Daime Hokage, this immediately attracted the attention of almost all the other villages. Each village had its own different plans, and they were all sending manpower to the Leaf Village for their own plans.
Qingyu has already sensed the imminent flow of people outside Konoha Village in the past few days.
These people come from different villages, and they seem to have different plans. When they come here, they also show different attitudes.
Some of them were obviously here to gather information. They didn't go too deep, nor did they get close. They seemed to always maintain a relatively good distance, hoping that they would not be discovered.
There is also a part that wants to get close to Namikaze Minato. I don't know if it is to discuss with Namikaze Minato or for some other reason, but it is always looking for Namikaze Minato.
However, such a matter is not solved so easily, because Namikaze Minato has been busy during this period, or it involves the third generation. He is working hard for his position as Hokage, so he has never met anyone. He didn't let anyone know his whereabouts.
Under such a premise, Namikaze Minato did not let others come into contact with him, and those who wanted to contact Namikaze Minato before he became the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village did not get a very good answer. Perfect answer.
Many times they think they can complete their plans, but changes often come faster than planned.
As far as the current situation is concerned.
Whether they wanted to meet Namikaze Minato, win over Namikaze Minato, and cooperate with each other, or they wanted to destroy Namikaze Minato and become the Hokage of Konoha Village, they were not able to complete it as they wished. Their own mission, because the entire Konoha Village is now immersed in various public opinions, and when they come, there is no way to insert what they want to do.
This is like what they originally thought was a pool of water when Konoha Village was undergoing a smooth handover.
Therefore, the purpose of some people coming here is to muddy the water and prevent the smooth progress of the blood-activating energy needle, so that Namikaze Minato will not easily become the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha Village.
But when they came here, they found that Konoha Village was not what they imagined. It was not a calm pool of water, but a whirlpool that had become extremely chaotic.
In such a whirlpool, they have no way to smooth over Konoha. What happened between the villages? Now they feel that even eating melons is so late, and if they have no way to grasp it, they have no way to do it, because You cannot make water that is already spinning more spinning.
In addition, what Namikaze Minato has been doing is to defend his position as Hokage. Even the third generation of such public opinions has been brought out, and there is no way to solve it, not to mention the small actions that people from other villages want to make.
So much so that even before the people from other villages could use their own moves, they were already offset by the public opinion show-off used by Qingyu, and they didn't even know what was happening in the process. That’s how it became.
Everything is so inexplicable.
But inexplicably, some results were achieved.
At this point in time.
There are indeed many people from other villages in Konoha Village, but these people from other villages can only watch what happens and have no way to tell any other problems, because Konoha Village is not peaceful. , they themselves staged an undercurrent of the Hokage War in the village.
It is not that easy for Namikaze Minato to become the Hokage. He needs to overcome all kinds of obstacles, but until now, Namikaze Minato has done everything. Now the entire Konoha Village All the families and forces in the world are on the side of Namikaze Minato. Even the incident between Danzo and Orochimaru cannot affect Namikaze Minato, let alone some of the actions that other villages can make.
This kind of thing has greatly impacted the cognition of the people in those villages.
They never expected that things would develop to this point.
They did not expect that the current length would appear in front of them inexplicably, which resulted in them being unable to make things more reliable.
Now they have no way to complete the mission they led when they came to Konoha Village, so they have to constantly change their strategies according to the actual situation, and make further judgments based on the current changing situation in Konoha Village. Use these judgments to adapt to changing circumstances and make various decisions.
This also makes it too late to deal with everything.
These villages were blocked because of the decision made by Qingyu.
So in the end, Namikaze Minato was about to become the Hokage of Konoha Village, and he did not discover the conspiracies of other villages, and even forgot about the people in these villages.
At this time.
As Aoba said these words, Namikaze Minato immediately realized that there was such a thing.
It is because of this situation.
Only then did Namikaze Minato suddenly realize the seriousness of the matter.
"How come I forgot all the other villages..."
Namikaze Minato rubbed his forehead vigorously. He had always felt that he was very smart, but at this time, he suddenly felt that he had missed something very important. After all, when the Hokage succeeded, people from other villages They will definitely come, no matter what their thoughts are, they will never not participate in this kind of thing.
He had already thought about this when he came back from the Third Ninja War.
He has always regarded people from other villages as enemies, but he also knows that in order to achieve peace in the ninja world, war with enemies is inevitable.
But.
When Namikaze Minato returned to Konoha Village, he suddenly changed due to some problems.
That's the problem with the third generation.
Namikaze Minato felt that when he was dealing with these things, there was a very strong contrast between him and the third generation. He understood that this was brought about by the third generation after doing some things, but he also understood that if he wanted to become Hokage , then you must first pass the third generation level. In fact, the third generation did not really want to let him become the Hokage of Konoha Village so easily.
Namikaze Minato was attracted a lot of attention by the third generation.
It can be said that for a long time, Namikaze Minato was thinking about how to compete with the third generation.
After all, the third generation is the most intuitive competitor in front of him. If he has not passed the third generation level, then it is impossible for him to become the Hokage of Konoha Village. If he does not seize this opportunity, he will not be able to do so in the future. It's an excellent opportunity. Even the third generation may step down by then, but the fourth generation will not be him.
So Minato Namikaze knows very well that this is the best and only choice for him at this time. He has been cherishing all opportunities and time to do these things well.
It is precisely because of such situations.
When Namikaze Minato originally knew that he had become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, and when he returned from the Third World War, he always regarded his enemies as those outside Konoha Village.
It wasn't until he returned to Konoha Village that he realized that this kind of problem would not only occur externally and internally, but also various things.
Under this situation, Namikaze Minato made a very decisive choice. Solve the internal problems first. Only after the internal problems can he have the opportunity to solve the external problems, otherwise the position of Hokage in Fishing Village will be the same. If he doesn't have anything to do with it, all external problems will be left to the third generation to solve.
But.
What Namikaze Minato didn't expect was.
During this process, he actually forgot about this matter, completely ignored the external matters, and while solving the internal crisis, he had already transitioned to the external problems.
"So these ninjas from other villages..."
"How do I deal with this?"
"Do you have any suggestions?"
Namikaze Minato raised his eyes and looked at Aoyu. Now, the people he can trust and ask questions are basically from Aoyu. This matter is indeed beyond his imagination, but he is also willing to go solve this problem.
"No advice."
Aoyu shook his head directly, because these problems were not something he could give solutions to. They were for Namikaze Minato to solve by himself.
"They will not affect the position of Hokage."
"If they had some intentions when they first came here, but if they haven't succeeded until now, it's already too late."
"When the Hokage Succession Ceremony is held tomorrow, there will definitely be many people from other villages mixed in to watch the ceremony and then bring the information back to their respective villages."
"So if you have anything you want to convey to other villages, you can use tomorrow's platform to say it."
"certainly… "
"Maybe some villages will want to take action against you tomorrow."
"These are all unpredictable things, so it's best to be mentally prepared to avoid being successfully assassinated by them."
Aoyu laughed when he said the last part, because he knew very well the strength of Namikaze Minato. If these people wanted to successfully kill Namikaze Minato, it would be simply impossible.
The very least is that Namikaze Minato possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Unless he has a particularly strong advantage in speed, he may not even be able to touch Namikaze Minato.
Coupled with Namikaze Minato's extremely powerful fighting talent and extremely strong combat IQ, generally speaking, if he wanted to sneak attack in public, he would simply not be able to do it.
So what he said was not that he doubted Minato Namikaze's strength, but that he felt that after saying this, he would be ridiculed and relax Minato Namikaze's mind.
After all, he was about to become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, so it was completely meaningless to think about so many things.
To a certain extent, Namikaze Minato is already the best candidate to be the Hokage in Konoha Village at this stage.
This is actually a very good thing for Namikaze Minato.
In this era, there are not that many existences that can compete with Namikaze Minato. Namikaze Minato is completely equivalent to an existence without competing products.
Under this situation, as long as you want to choose the Hokage of Konoha Village, the answer must be him, unless you don't want to find a new Hokage.
It is precisely because of this reason.
Now Minato Namikaze felt much more relaxed.
Originally, the situation of internal and external troubles made his heart very heavy, and many things were waiting for him to solve, as if it was a mess in front of him. However, after Qingyu sorted it out, gradually on the day before taking over as Hokage, He found that whether it was internal or external troubles, they had been solved inadvertently. He could successfully become the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha Village under the spotlight and the expectations and blessings of countless people.
This is a very good thing for Namikaze Minato.
"I see."
Namikaze Minato nodded, and then a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. He knew that in this situation, there was no need to have more worries here, and he also knew very well that maybe in this process Among them, Qingyu was also very tired, because what they could see in front of them were just these things that were easily displayed on the surface, and appeared in everyone's sight very easily.
But even though Qingyu said these things very lightly, he actually put in a lot of effort. The talent of this genius should not be easily ignored.
In this process, Qingyu must have put a lot of thought into doing so many things.
Namikaze Minato thought about Aoyu's relationship.
Not only did his respect for Qingyu become stronger.
It is true that not everyone can do such a thing.
When Namikaze Minato first learned about the current situation, he didn't know how to solve these troubles at the time, but after Qingyu sorted it out, he found that everything fell into place at this level, and it could be done Easily become the Hokage of Konoha Village.
"You'll be there tomorrow, right?"
Namikaze Minato's profound three-character idiom looked past it, because he knew very well that at this time, if Aoba was not present, then the Hokage Succession Ceremony would lose a lot of meaning.
This is a very important thing.
Namikaze Minato seemed to ask this very simply, and it seemed that in this case there was no need to ask to get the answer, but Namikaze Minato still hoped to get a definite answer.
Namikaze Minato is very concerned about such things, because Qingyu plays a decisive role in becoming the Hokage of Konoha Village. It is precisely because of this that he hopes that at such a moment, Qingyu can go to the scene to witness it in person.
Although this kind of thing sounds a bit outrageous, because normally, anyone else would definitely be there, and the Hokage Succession Ceremony, even if there is no such relationship between them, is normal People also go to see the birth of the new Hokage.
But Minato Namikaze knows that Aoyu is not a normal person. He is a genius. He often does not play his cards according to the routine. He can also stick to the ANBU alone and refuse to accept higher positions. He has failed in many things. He has his own judgment, so he doesn't know clearly whether Qingyu will go.
Namikaze Minato came here to ask Aoyu's opinion, and to a large extent he also wanted to know what choice Aoyu would make in the end.
This is still very important.
about this point.
Namikaze Minato knew very well that if Aoyu didn't come tomorrow, he wouldn't be surprised at all, because he knew Aoyu had such a personality, but if he showed very strong thoughts now, If there was a desire to invite Qingyu to come, then he believed that Qingyu would eventually go.
"Do you want me to go?"
The corners of Aoyu's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile. He actually had to go, but he didn't expect Minato Namikaze to have such questions, so he followed Minato Namikaze's words and wanted to take a look. What kind of expression did Minato Namikaze express? In other words, it was teasing Minato Namikaze, because he knew exactly how Minato Namikaze would express it.
"Of course I hope you can come."
Namikaze Minato said without any hesitation, he expressed his emotions directly.
"If you can come, then I will be very happy. After all, this is a very important moment in my life."
Namikaze Minato said seriously, after all, for him, the Hokage Succession Ceremony represents the realization of his dream, showing that he can truly become the Hokage of Konoha Village, and through this series of events and Aoyu's Helping is the foundation for him to successfully realize his dream.
Namikaze Minato knew very well that without Aoyu, his dream would not be so clear. Without Aoyu, his dream would not be realized so smoothly. On the way to his dream, he has gained a lot. of assistance.
So if Namikaze Minato can come, it will indeed have a very rare meaning for him.
So there is no need to prepare because I really hope Qingyu can come here.
Witness together that it can become the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha Village.
"OK."
Aoba nodded and did not tease Namikaze Minato anymore, because he knew that the latter was about to become the Hokage of Konoha Village. Even if they had a very good relationship, he still had to have some sense of proportion. After all, they couldn't make Namikaze Minato feel ugly on many occasions, and even if it was just the two of them, they couldn't make the conversation particularly awkward.
This is not just because Minato is Hokage, Aoyu would treat any friend like this, and would not make such a topic too awkward.
This is how it feels right now.
"Then I'll go."
"I will not be absent from this important occasion in your life."
"I would love to see you become the Hokage of Konoha Village."
Qingyu said with a smile, of course he hopes that such a thing can happen, because he has been working hard for this matter. It is precisely because he continued to carry out various routines and layouts that Bo Bo The Feng Shui Sect became the Hokage of Konoha Village through such hardships.
Now it can be said that everything has been achieved, and they will naturally make such corresponding actions.
All of a sudden.
When the topic reached this point, the two people did not continue to talk about the rest of the matter, but looked at each other and both smiled.
(End of chapter)
