In the 47th year of Konoha, the Third Ninja World War, which lasted for four years, ended.
Konoha reaped great rewards from this war. Minato Namikaze single-handedly coordinated the battlefields in various places and defeated the Iwagakure Village, Kumogakure Village, and Mist Village so badly that they were completely defeated, and gained huge benefits from the post-war armistice agreement.
After the war, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen passed the position of Hokage to Namikaze Minato. Many Konoha ninjas expressed their conviction, believing that this was what everyone wanted.
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, and happiness doubles happiness. After becoming Hokage, Namikaze Minato welcomed another happy event in his life, which was his marriage.
Uzumaki Kushina, the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki also played a huge role in this war and was a very useful weapon for Konoha.
However, what made the Konoha high-ups unhappy was that this Jinchūriki had no awareness of being the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki at all, and was actually very close to the wife of the Uchiha clan leader.
But now, the Hokage is married to the Jinchuriki, so this weapon can be tied to Konoha's chariot and there is no need to worry about her betrayal.
It would be even better if I could give birth to a child successfully and that child also had the qualifications to become a Jinchūriki.
However, this is only good for Konoha as a whole. For some people in Konoha, it is not so good.
For example, Danzo Shimura.
The wedding of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki was held grandly, but originally Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki did not want it to be so grand.
However, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that their wedding was not only their own business, but also the business of the entire Konoha Village. After all, one party was the Hokage and the other was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Their happy marriage was an exciting thing for the entire Konoha Village.
Therefore, not only was the wedding grand, but the guests who attended were also very distinguished.
Sarutobi Nissin, Shimura Danzo, Suidomon En, Tenharu Koharu, Yamanaka Iiichi, Akimichi Choza, Nara Shikahisa, Aburame Shimi...
Basically all the important figures in Konoha Village were present, and even the daimyo sent someone to offer congratulations.
Such a grand wedding naturally cannot be without reception staff. In addition to several members of Kushina Uzumaki's clansmen who came to join them, there were also three little guys who were busy.
Hatake Kakashi, Nohara Rin, and... Uchiha Obito.
Yes, maybe because of the change in Kakashi Hatake, the mission they were performing also changed, and Uchiha Obito was not hit by rocks near Madara's hiding place.
It was not noticed by Madara either.
Now he is living in Konoha as a Konoha Chunin.
Uchiha Obito, who has not experienced any drastic changes, is still the same heartless and reckless as before.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Amidst the laughter, a scream caught everyone's attention.
I saw a young man running towards me from a distance, carrying a plate taller than his head. Looking at his messy steps, he could fall at any step. This young man was Uchiha Obito.
The guests turned aside one by one and looked at Obito with amusement. Nohara Rin, who was not far away, looked helpless and hurriedly apologized to the others.
Just when everyone was dodging as if they were watching a good show, an old man with a cane and an eye patch did not dodge.
Danzo Shimura looked at Obito who was rushing towards him in a panic, raised his crutch and touched Obito's waist. Obito's whole body instantly stiffened and he couldn't move. Then he easily pressed the plate with his other hand and fixed it in Obito's hand.
"He's an Uchiha, but he can't even hold a plate properly. It's really surprising." Shimura Danzo put away his crutch and said in a hoarse tone like a dead person.
"What? You old man..." Obito got furious when he heard this, but before he could finish his sentence, he was hit on the head by a punch from behind.
"I'm very sorry, Master Danzo. I, your disciple, was too reckless. Please forgive me." Namikaze Minato took the piles of plates with one hand and pressed Obito's head with the other hand to make him bow and apologize.
"Since the Fourth Hokage has said so, what else can I say?" Danzo Shimura said lightly.
"Thank you very much." Minato Namikaze responded with a smile.
Danzo Shimura and Minato Namikaze looked at each other for two seconds, then nodded.
"Very good, very good, you are young and promising. You are the youngest Hokage in history. Since you are the Hokage, you should be more careful."
After saying this meaningless sentence, Danzo Shimura left with a droopy face and a look as if everyone owed him money.
"Teacher, why do I feel like that guy is very resentful?" Obito said in confusion.
"Haha, maybe." Minato Namikaze smiled and did not comment.
Danzo was resentful of him, and Minato Namikaze knew it. He also knew why, because he snatched the position of Hokage that Danzo was determined to get.
During the Third Ninja World War, Danzo was also very active. He constantly conducted various diplomatic activities, sent Root ninjas to sow discord among other ninja villages, took the opportunity to erode the intelligence network of the Sand Village, and under the cover of war, cleaned out those ninjas in Konoha who might endanger the safety of Konoha.
In a normal war, Danzo's role cannot be ignored, and his actions can help Konoha gain a more stable base.
However, Konoha had no reason to have a guy like Minato Namikaze, and Danzo's actions became insignificant in comparison with Minato Namikaze's outstanding achievements. And because of the comparison with Minato Namikaze's outstanding achievements, his achievements became something that was completely not worth mentioning.
It's frustrating. Very frustrating.
'If there was no Namikaze Minato, if there was no Namikaze Minato, if there was no Namikaze Minato...' Danzo has thought this in his heart countless times since Namikaze Minato became the Fourth Hokage.
As Danzo walked along, everyone made way for him with a respectful look on their faces. But Danzo knew that was actually a sign of fear and avoidance; they were simply afraid of him, or even disgusted with him.
Danzo felt even more aggrieved when he saw the man's posture.
Obviously his role was so important to Konoha. If it weren't for him, Konoha's information would have been leaked countless times. As a result, he bore the darkness of Konoha for Sarutobi Hiruzen, and this was the result he got. And Sarutobi Hiruzen never said a good word for him.
Why! Why! Why!
Why should he suffer such humiliation? !
Minato Namikaze's role only exists on the battlefield, but his role can penetrate into every aspect of Konoha. The Hokage is not a general, but the person who manages Konoha. He is the Hokage that Konoha needs most, and he is the best candidate for Hokage.
How can a person who cannot bear the darkness be qualified to inherit the title of Shadow!
