Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer

Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 497 Do You Want to Become Hokage?

In the woods.

Amidst the sounds of slaughter.

Konohagakure's ninjas ended the ambush against Sunagakure's ninjas.

This battle was very cruel!

Of course.

To be precise...

This was cruelty to Sunagakure!

This battle was a perfect example of calculation without care. Sunagakure's ninja quickly ran toward Konohagakure with the intention of splitting the cake. They did not even think that Konohagakure still had the power to fight back. They didn't even expect that they might encounter an ambush of this level.

On the other hand, on Konohagakure's side.

After defeating Iwagakure in the battle, Konohagakure's ninjas had reached the highest level in terms of momentum. They swept away all the previous haze and no longer had that kind of decadent posture.

In this situation.

In addition to the ambush and sneak attack.

Konohagakure won the battle without any accident and controlled the loss of the battle to a very small degree.

At this time.

The flames burning in the forest had been extinguished.

The battle was over.

The corpses of Sunagakure ninjas were being cleaned up by Konohagakure's ninjas. The remaining ninjas were tied up and became Konohagakure's war prisoners.

The whole battle did not take too much time.

Even the Konohagakure ninjas who participated in this battle were shocked by Minato. It could be said that they took this opportunity to get to know Minato again. In their eyes, this young man had completely changed into something else.

"Minato."

At this time, Hatake Sakumo walked toward Minato. He softly called out to Minato and from his expression, it seemed that he had something to say to Minato.

"Sakumo-sama."

Minato immediately nodded at Hatake Sakumo. At this time, Minato was still just an ordinary Jonin. Of course, this was only on the ninja rank, not strength. After all, it had not been long since Minato became Jonin, and his improvement was already very fast. He could be said to be a genius among geniuses, but it had not been long since he became Jonin, so he did not have a deep foundation. Compared to him, Hatake Sakumo was already the elite Jonin who rose up in the Second Ninja World War. He was the genius before him and even has an epithet, Konoha White Fang. There was no problem for him to add such honorifics.

"Is there anything?"

Minato asked directly. After taking over the position of commander here, his mind had been thinking about how to win this battle and save Konohagakure from the fire and water. Thus, he did not have time to communicate with Hatake Sakumo.

If Hatake Sakumo had not come to find him now.

He might not have taken the initiative to say anything.

After all.

He was here to solve the problem!

Before the problem was solved, his mind did not allow him to think of anything else. He wanted to focus all his emotions on how to let Konohagakure win.

"Well, let's talk."

Hatake Sakumo smiled and nodded. The pressure in his heart just now was also quite big. Not long ago, Iwagakure made him feel that he almost became a sinner for Konohagakure. Now that they had destroyed Sunagakure's ninja army, his mood eased a lot. He was already in the mood to talk to Minato.

"Okay."

Minato looked around and fixed his eyes on a tree. Then he pointed at the tree and said, "Sakumo-sama, let's go under that tree!"

"Sure!" Hatake Sakumo took the lead and walked over.

Minato followed behind.

The two of them soon arrived at the side of the tree.

They sat down together and leaned against the tree trunk. They looked at Konohagakure ninjas who were dealing with the corpses not far away, enjoying the short leisure time after the victory of the war.

"Sakumo-sama, you came to me because of Kumogakure's matter, right?"

Minato spoke first. His blue eyes looked forward, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He looked a lot more serious.

He made a judgment at the first moment, and that was Kumogakure's matter. After all, this was another crisis they were going to face.

As long as they could get through this crisis, then Konohagakure would be equivalent to getting through the current disaster.

"Kumogakure is indeed a bit troublesome. Those ninjas mainly fight with physical skills, so when fighting with them in close combat, they have the advantage. And, after our ninjas fought twice in a row, their chakra consumption is very huge, and it is difficult to support large-scale ninjutsu. Most importantly, after this battle, our explosive tag has been exhausted. Sunagakure's ninjas came with the intention to split the cake. They basically come in light, without any resources. We can't get any supplies from them. Fighting with Kumogakure will be troublesome!"

Minato spoke out his analysis in a very fluent manner, causing Hatake Sakumo to be dumbfounded.

For a moment.

Hatake Sakumo looked at Minato in a daze. He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

"But..."

Minato's words suddenly changed, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

"It's not like we don't have any opportunities. We can rest and recover as much as we can. Sunagakure ninjas still have a lot of military ration pills on them. There is still some time before the arrival of Kumogakure's ninja army. This time, we can try to recover as much as possible. At that time, we could still use this kind of ambush method. It's just that I need to use Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) more to disrupt the enemy's layout, then think of a way to make the enemy retreat. It will be difficult to annihilate them like we did with Sunagakure!"

Minato analyzed himself. In fact, he had been thinking about these since he won against Sunagakure. However, he did not say it out loud. Now that Hatake Sakumo came over, he directly told him all his plans.

Of course.

This was not because Minato was talkative.

Instead, in his opinion, Hatake Sakumo was still the commander of Konohagakure's ninja army. He just temporarily handed over this authority to him.

Therefore.

To report this matter to Hatake Sakumo.

Minato did not hide anything.

"No..."

Hatake Sakumo suddenly felt that Minato had brought the topic further and further away. He did not doubt Minato's ability at all. Even now, he no longer regarded Kumogakure as a big deal.

After all, according to the time...

The news that Iwagakure's ninja army was defeated should have already reached Kumogakure.

If Kumogakure's Raikage wasn't a fool...

He should have issued the orders to withdraw!

So.

In his opinion.

Whether or not this battle would happen was another matter.

"It's okay, Sakumo-sama!"

Minato immediately looked at Hatake Sakumo. His pair of blue eyes flashed with strong confidence. After that, he suddenly grinned, and his expression suddenly changed. It was like he had changed from a rigid and serious state to a big boy next door who was illuminated by the sun. He looked very comfortable and at ease, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"We still have secret weapons!"

Minato blinked, but he did not elaborate. This involved some little secrets, little secrets that he did not want to tell even Hatake Sakumo.

However, this was not a very special secret.

If it came to the time when he had to use that secret weapon, he would not mind letting Konohagakure's ninjas see it, and he would not continue to keep this secret because, at that time, he would not be able to keep this secret.

But before that moment.

How long can it be kept?

Just keep it secret for as long as possible!

"Minato, you misunderstood. I don't want to talk about this topic. I believe in your ability. Kumogakure can't do anything in front of you!"

Hatake Sakumo smiled helplessly. He really didn't expect that he just wanted to chat with Minato, but later reported to him seriously. If they talked a few more, he was afraid that Minato would say everything about the secret weapon.

However.

After Minato said this.

Hatake Sakumo suddenly realized a big problem.

That was that Minato's talent was far beyond his impression and completely beyond his imagination. Even when he was looking for a teacher for his son, Kakashi, he had tried his best to overestimate Minato, but now it seemed that he still underestimated him.

This young man's future was bound to be above his!

This was something he could foresee now!

"Isn't it about Kumogakure?"

Minato was stunned for a moment. A big question mark popped up in his head. He tilted his head and stared at Hatake Sakumo in confusion. He really couldn't imagine what kind of problem it would be if it wasn't Kumogakure that made Hatake Sakumo come to find him at this juncture.

"I'm going to talk to you about something that only we can talk about. You don't have to answer me, but I hope you won't lie to me if you answer. Also, I won't let a third person know the content of our conversation, so you can tell me the truth." Hatake Sakumo suddenly became serious. Even his tone was very serious as if he wanted to talk about some very important topics.

"What is it?"

Minato nodded. Through Hatake Sakumo's attitude, he had already realized the seriousness of the next chat. The smile on his face disappeared again, and he looked very serious.

"About the Hokage position!" Hatake Sakumo whispered.

"This..."

Minato suddenly took a deep breath. He never thought that at this time, under the tree where the war had just happened, he would talk to Hatake Sakumo about this topic.

In fact.

He has always thought about becoming Hokage!

As early as when he was chatting with Aoba, he was determined to become the Fourth Hokage, and also to become the strongest Hokage. He wanted to surpass Konohagakure's First Hokage Senju Hashirama. He wanted to use his way to cause a change in the ninja world and bring the ninja world into a new era.

However.

There was a problem here.

That was Hatake Sakumo!

At this time, anyone in Konohagakure who wanted to become a Hokage could not avoid going through this genius ninja known as Konoha White Fang.

This was not only about strength and reputation but also Hatake Sakumo's unique position in Konohagakure. It could be seen from his half-sleeved Hokage robe.

Even the Third Hokage's three students, who were known as the Konoha Sannin, including his teacher, Jiraiya, had to go through Hatake Sakumo if they wanted to become the Hokage.

Minato was very clear.

At this stage.

Hatake Sakumo was the best candidate to become Konohagakure's Fourth Hokage!

He was completely ahead of the other competitors.

Now that Hatake Sakumo was talking about the Hokage position, Minato had an indescribable feeling. It was like digging deep into the hidden corners of his heart. To be honest, it was a bit embarrassing.

For a moment.

Minato was a little embarrassed.

He didn't know what to say.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about anything. You can say whatever you want. I just want to know your thoughts and your attitude."

Hatake Sakumo looked at the dilemma in Minato's eyes. He had already guessed something. After all, most of Konohagakure's children wanted to become the Hokage. This was no secret.

"Do you want to become the Hokage?"

Hatake Sakumo asked directly. He stared at Minato with his black eyes. What he wanted was the truth. What he wanted was the real thoughts in Minato's heart.

Minato felt Hatake Sakumo's gaze.

He raised his head and faced him.

He did not expect this moment to arrive so quickly.

However, he was not timid.

At most, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Yes."

Minato nodded. His tone was very firm, and he had no intention of retreating. It was a simple word, but it was as if the horn of war had been blown, and behind him was an endless cliff.

"Very good!"

Hatake Sakumo's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes flashed with admiration. It seemed that he was very satisfied with Minato's answer, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth could already be seen with a faint smile.

"I will do my best to help you become the Fourth Hokage!"

"The current Konohagakure must inject fresh blood!"

"If we don't change..."

"I can almost foresee..."

"The village will not be able to survive the Fourth Ninja World War that might happen at any time!"

Hatake Sakumo's sudden words caused Minato to be confused. He never thought that Hatake Sakumo would support him.
