章節 38: Argument

Hiruzen looked at all three elders. "Are you gonna stay or leave?"

"Since we are already here and the situation with Yama is a pressing topic we might as well discuss it with Jiraiya and Minato since the two of them know him the most."

After a couple of minutes, Jiraiya and Minato reached the Hokage's office. Minato bowed down and greeted everyone.

"What's going on? Did we interrupt your meeting or something? It's rare to see you four old people in a room together." Said Jiraiya.

"We were talking about Yama, he is a real problem we need to solve quickly."

Jiraiya laughed when he heard them. "Now you know how I felt dealing with him daily for more than a year."

Hiruzen spoke again. "We can talk about him in length after this first quickly give me the details of what happened on the battlefield."

"Well, we have to talk about him, after all, he is the main reason we won the war. That kid is special, he has created a lot of unique and powerful Jutsu. He instantly knocked out thousands of people and suppressed all of them using the ninjutsu he created himself." Said Jiraiya.

Minato nodded his head. "He was doing that while he was still fighting the Jinchuriki of 8 tails Killer bee, and the scary part is he was winning the fight. Both Bee and A are quite similar in strength so we can say without a shadow of a doubt that he has the strength of a high-level Kage."

"Yes, and the thing is he is only 13 and half years old. I doubt even the 1st Hokage was that strong at his age. At this rate, he might surpass the 1st hokage in strength. Thanks to him the battle was pretty easy and we won without many casualties.

Hiruzen and the elders face grew darker and darker the more Jiraiya and Minato talked. Jiraiya noticed this and asked.

"What's going on? You guys don't seem to be too happy."

Danzo spoke. "That kid can be a major threat to the village because of his attitude and strength. He will sooner or later join with the Uchiha and rebel against the village."

Mitokado nodded his head. "He also became the clan head of the Inuzuka clan which adds another layer of problem for us to deal with."

"Haha, that kid becoming a clan head at such a young age, he is something else. What exactly did he do to make all of you so mad in just a day." Asked Jiraiya.

Hiruzen explained how he attacked the anbu just after he entered the village, how he disrespected him, he also brought up Yama and Fugaku openly agreeing to ally to potentially overthrow Konoha and how the Uchiha are always a threat against the village.

Jiraiya let out a sigh and shook his head. "Sensei is your mind in the right place? You are not the same intelligent and smart sensei I used to know. Just because a kid disrespected you, you classify him as a threat against the village and want to eliminate him?

"And it's not like his words contain no truth, maybe you could argue that if you helped the Uzumaki even Konoha might have been in a lot of trouble but that doesn't invalidate his statement and there is no defence against the stuff he said about the Sakumo and the Uchiha.

"And even everything he said was a lie and everything you said was the truth, can you even eliminate him?" Jiraiya pointed at Mitokado and Koharu.

"I doubt they would even be slightly useful in the battle between High Kage at best they are strong as a jounin. That leaves you and Danzo.

The two elders frowned and looked angry.

" I doubt either one of you can kill Yama in a one on one battle and if we assume what you said is true, Fugaku won't sit still and let you attack him two on one.

"You can use the Anbu, Root, and maybe even Orochimaru. But you aren't facing just the two of them you are facing the whole of Uchiha and the whole of Inuzuka.

"Even if you manage to win it will cost you almost everything because I won't help you neither will Minato, so are you sure you want to go down this path?"

Danzo was extremely angry. "Jiraiya so you are gonna betray your teacher and the village just for a random kid." He yelled with anger.

Minato spoke up. "How is that betraying the village? You planning on eliminating two strong clans of the village for no reason is betrayal, you planning on killing the genius who has the potential to surpass the 1st is betrayal.

"I know Yama better than most of you here, yes he is arrogant and a little cocky but he has every right to be arrogant. He is better than all of you why would he not be arrogant."

He also pointed at Mitokado and Koharu. "If you two are so old and weak but still have arrogance and Ego why wouldn't a young and talented kid like him not have arrogance.

"He is also smart beyond belief, I don't think you would be able to kill him even if you tried and trust me when I say this he will make you regret ever going against him."

Danzo couldn't hold back his anger. He stood up and slammed the table. "What's gotten into the two of you, what has the kid done to manipulate you two to this extent?"

Minato shook his head. "Look, I know him well, despite his arrogance he is a really nice kid, he just follows his heart and does what he wants, I will take responsibility of him, I will make sure he doesn't rebel against the village, leave him to me.

The elders and Hiruzen weren't dumb, they knew without the help of Jiraiya and Minato, fighting against the Inuzuka and the Uchiha was a dumb decision, that would weaken Konoha beyond recovery. So after some more debate, they gave Minato the responsibility to take care of Yama.
