When Washi and his group entered Konoha, they had already caught the attention of Konoha’s Ninjas. The number of Konoha Ninjas monitoring this place had increased since the attack on the village.
Because Washi and the others did not use the Transformation Jutsu, the Anbu of Konoha immediately recognized the character in the team.
In the Anbu, a female ninja wearing a white mask was the first to discover a familiar figure in the team, “It’s Jiraya-sama. Didn’t he go to investigate the people who attacked the village? Why did he come back wearing this?”
“No, there is Orochimaru!”
The other Anbu who heard the sound also came over, all of them staring at the huge team, “It really is Orochimaru! I haven’t seen him since I betrayed the village. How could he be with Jiraya san?”
“Is it Danzo san behind them? But why is his face…”
“Wait, look, the last one, is it the 4th Hokage?”
Because Konoha’s higher-ups did not reveal the news of the 4th Hokage to all Konoha Ninjas, these Anbu only knew the existence of the 4th Hokage after seeing Minato’s face.
“It really is the 4th Hokage, how can it be!” The white masked Anbu who was the first to discover Washi and the others said in surprise. “The 4th Hokage didn’t attack the village when the Kyubi attacked, but already…”
“Go back and report to the 3rd Hokage.”
Just as the black masked man was in a daze, his leader had already given the order. At this time, she had to inform the 3rd Hokage first.
“Yes.” After receiving the mission, he did not care about how many familiar figures there were below. He directly turned around and rushed towards Konoha’s village.
""
“Leader, are we under the genjutsu?” Seeing so many Legend Ninjas in Konoha at the same time made the Anbu feel a little dazed.
In this situation, perhaps only the genjutsu could make sense, otherwise how could it explain the fact that the 4th Hokage was still alive?
When the Anbu leader heard this, he felt that it was reasonable, but if it were for true, this genjutsu was too powerful.
Impossible, impossible, we are the Anbu, how could we be so easily dealt with by the genjutsu?
After thinking for a moment, the Anbu leader decided not to care about the genjutsu. He waved his hand and said to the people beside him, “Don’t think too much. Follow them closely and wait for the instructions of the 3rd Hokage.”
“Yes.”
Seeing that the leader had made his decision, the people did not laugh and tease him anymore. Instead, they quickly spread out and began to follow Washi and the others.
“Someone is targeting us.” When he entered the city gate, Minato had already noticed the presence of the Anbu on the roof.
“It’s normal. This is already the territory of Konoha. There must be a lot of Anbu. With you here, it will definitely attract the attention of the other side.”
The existence of the Anbu was already within Washi’s expectations. His group did not hide their identities, and if they showed up near Konoha, they would definitely be discovered.
However, Washi did not care about Konoha. Right now, the village could only fight.
The Three Sanin were absent, and there was no one like Sakumo Hatake, so perhaps the only ones who could claim top combat power were Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi Hatake and Mighty Guy.
Moreover, Kakashi did not have the blessing of God, and the lack of chakra was his biggest weakness. Although Guy’s Eight Gates was fierce, it was almost a one-time skill. Washi’s team, with the help of Flying Thunder God, did not care about the explosion in that moment.
The reason why they did not set their first goal in Konoha was purely because of their feelings for Hashirama and Jiraya, otherwise, the first village in the world to be captured would definitely be Konoha.
“Maybe the 3rd Hokage will come later.”
As the two spoke, Tobirama had already found a shop, and after eating rations for several days, he couldn’t wait to have a big meal.
Just as Washi and his group entered the shop, the Anbu responsible for delivering the news also came to the Hokage building.
“What? Minato is back again?” Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was in the process of handling official affairs, shook the pen in his hand when he heard the news of Minato. He suddenly raised his head and said to the Anbu.
The Anbustood straight in the hall, “Yes, Hokage-sama, we not only saw the 4th Hokage-sama, Jiraya-sama and Orochimaru-sama are also in the team of the 4th Hokage-sama!”
“What!” At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and looked at the Anbu who was reporting the news.
Not only Hiruzen Sarutobi, but because of his injuries, Danzo, who had been discovered by the higher-ups of Konoha, was also shocked and widened his left eye.
Although he had been removed from all his duties, under the pleading of Homura and Koharu, Hiruzen Sarutobi still did not expel him from the center of Konoha’s power.
And it was because of this that Danzo had the chance to hear such a big news in the Hokage building.
After being shocked, Danzo quickly looked at the 3rd Hokage and said, “Last time we should not have let Jiraya go to find the other side, they are master and disciple…”
“Shut up!” Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted and stopped Danzo from speaking, “Jiraya and I are also master and disciple.”
Although he was yelled at by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo continued without showing any weakness, “So what? Jiraya has obviously joined the other side’s organization. This time, it is likely that he is also here for Konoha.”
“Minato, as the 4th Hokage, actually brought an outsider to attack Konoha. As the former Hokage, he did not consider the big picture at all.”
Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi did not refute him anymore, Danzo continued, “Isn’t our treatment of Naruto a consideration for his safety? The 4th Hokage has made countless enemies in the ninja world. Only by hiding his identity can he live better!”
“At first, we shouldn’t have…”
“Enough!”
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn’t stand it anymore, and he stopped Danzo who still wanted to continue.
Whether it was for safety or exercise, everything that Danzo said was just an excuse, and everything Minato saw was what he could truly feel.
“What we need to think about now is how to guard against the next…” Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, “The enemy.”
Hiruzen Sarutobi never thought that the 4th Hokage, who succeeded his position as Hokage, would become his enemy, and he never thought that his disciples would also join the ranks.
Orochimaru, Jiraya…
“Sigh.”
Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and looked at Hokage Rock outside the window. He sighed and was speechless for a long time.
