บท 67: Chapter 67 : The Fate of Hokage??
[Not long after, Kumogakure discovered that Kushina had the perfect physique to be a Jinchūriki, so they sent three powerful ninjas to kidnap her.]
"Humph, this is absurd. Does Kumogakure really have such abilities?"
Seeing the three ninjas wearing Cloud Village forehead protectors chasing Kushina on the screen, Tobirama couldn't help but scoff.
"Yes, even if Konoha was weak in the future, it wouldn't have been that easy for Cloud ninjas to infiltrate, let alone kidnap the Jinchūriki."
Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed with Tobirama-sensei.
If a ninja village can be easily infiltrated by ninjas from other villages, then what's the point of having gatekeepers and a sensing barrier?
"I think the Third Hokage's plan was to use this opportunity to create a bond between Minato Namikaze and the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki."
"That sounds about right."
Tobirama, thinking like a Hokage, agreed with Hiruzen's words.
"The next step should be for Minato to rescue Kushina."
As expected, as soon as Tobirama finished speaking, Hayashi Sora continued.
[This was a great chance for Kushina to change her feelings towards him, and Minato wouldn't miss it.]
[He managed to catch up to Kushina by following the red hair she left behind as a marker.]
[He also killed the three Cloud ninjas instantly, creating a "hero saves the damsel" scene.]
"Ha, so it's this kind of scenario."
Hiruzen was pleased, happy that he had correctly guessed the Third Hokage's intention.
This indirectly showed that he now had the mindset of a Hokage.
Danzo, who was standing nearby, noticed Hiruzen smiling foolishly and frowned in dissatisfaction.
He secretly hated himself for not thinking of it first.
Danzo: Am I really not cut out to be Hokage?
"Old man, did you set this up on purpose?"
The Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, watched his disciple's heroic actions on the screen and asked the Third Hokage, "Isn't this a bit too obvious?"
It's pretty obvious.
How could any Cloud Ninja sneak into Konoha without being noticed?
To pull that off, it would take a very powerful ninja.
The three Cloud Ninjas shown on the light screen are probably Chunin or Genin. There's no way they could be Jonin.
If they were, Minato wouldn't have been able to take them out so easily right after graduating from the Ninja Academy.
But this doesn't add up.
How did three weak Cloud Ninjas manage to sneak into Konoha, fool the Anbu who were protecting Kushina, and kidnap her?
"Whether it's obvious or not isn't the point. The real question is, does this plan work or not?"
The Third Hokage didn't deny it.
Even though his strategy was simple, it got him the result he wanted.
"Experience is key," Hayashi Sora commented briefly on the light screen.
[This is ridiculous. Even if we set everything else aside, the ninjas sent by Kumogakure to kidnap someone from Konoha should be at least Chunin or ANBU.]
[Considering Minato just graduated from the Ninja Academy, it's hard to believe he could defeat these three Cloud Ninjas, let alone kill them instantly.]
[Minato's actions show that a truly great person isn't just strong at some point, they've been exceptional from the start.]
[Since Minato saved her, Kushina, who used to be arrogant, now depends on him.]
[Minato even announced in Konoha that Kushina is his woman, warning everyone to back off.]
[At this point, the overbearing Minato scored full marks with Kushina.]
"My future disciple seems to be quite good at wooing girls."
Little Jiraiya looked at Minato, who had just embraced the beautiful girl on the screen, with a tone full of envy and jealousy.
I envy him for being with the one he loves.
At the same time, I'm also jealous that his heroic act of saving the damsel in distress actually worked.
Last month, Jiraiya asked Orochimaru for help, requesting him to disguise himself and harass Tsunade so that Jiraiya could play the hero.
He had it all planned out. When Tsunade was in trouble and scared, Jiraiya would swoop in, defeat the thugs, and save her.
That way, after seeing his brave side, Tsunade would definitely admire him and fall in love.
Little Jiraiya's plan seemed perfect, but things didn't go as expected.
At that time, Tsunade had just lost money and was already in a bad mood.
Orochimaru, who had just transformed, jumped out only to be knocked out by Tsunade's powerful kick.
Little Jiraiya, who was rushing over, thought everything was going according to plan and arrived excitedly.
But what he saw was Tsunade looking annoyed, and Orochimaru lying on the ground.
Luckily, Tsunade didn't think much about it at the time; otherwise, Jiraiya would have ended up with broken ribs.
Sighing, little Jiraiya turned and looked at Tsunade with affection.
He swore that, no matter what, he would win Tsunade's heart.
Maybe Jiraiya's gaze was too intense, because Tsunade felt it, turned around, and immediately got goosebumps.
"Jiraiya, what's with that look in your eyes? Don't you know it's gross?"
After saying that, little Tsunade clenched her fist and showed it to little Jiraiya.
What she meant was, "If you dare to look at me like that again, be careful, or I'll give you a reason to stretch your muscles later."
For the sake of his life, little Jiraiya forced a nervous smile and turned his gaze back to the glowing screen.
[As time passed, Minato became a jonin instructor and led three subordinates.]
[They were: Nohara Rin, Uchiha Obito, and Hatake Kakashi.]
"I didn't expect that the one who triggered the Nine-Tails Rebellion mentioned earlier in the light curtain was actually a student of the Fourth Hokage."
Tobirama hadn't known at the time that Obito was a student of the Fourth Hokage.
Now that he did, a strange thought crossed his mind.
If the light curtain hadn't shown these events, the Third Hokage would have died at the hands of his own disciple, Orochimaru.
And the Fourth Hokage also met his end because of one of his own students.
Although he, the Second Hokage, didn't die directly by the hands of his disciples, he did fall to the Hidden Cloud Ninja, Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
But he died to protect the retreat of his six disciples.
If it weren't for these six disciples, he wouldn't have had to protect them, and he wouldn't have died.
In a way, he died indirectly because of his disciples.
Thinking about it like this, it seems like being Hokage means you shouldn't take on disciples.
If you do, you might end up dead.
It's almost like fate.
With this in mind, Tobirama made a decision.
If the Fifth and Sixth Hokage also die, directly or indirectly, because of their own disciples, then another rule must be added:
To become Hokage, you can't have disciples.
What? You say Tobirama couldn't be that superstitious?
Haha, well, it doesn't cost anything to believe, right?
