Chapter 71: Minato: Do You Dare Accept It?
Outside Konoha Village, Minato looked at the "welcoming party" ahead and sighed.
Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, the clan representatives including Hyuga Hiashi, and... Shimura Danzo.
"What an enthusiastic welcome."
Minato took a deep breath and walked forward with only Hyuga Fuji and Uchiha Fugaku a...

"Advisor Danzo, it’s been a while."
In the Hokage’s office, Danzo sat in the chair he had dreamed of for years. As he looked at the visitor, he attempted to smile, but his years of maintaining a dark and somber expression turned it into more of a cold sneer.
This made Kazuma, one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, frown....

Facing Mei Terumi's question, Yagura's expression grew complex as he slowly said, "If Konoha's strength is tied to him, then yes, it's true."
How did things come to this?
Because Konoha is too powerful!
So powerful that he had no choice but to agree to an enormous compensation—the most generous reparations since the suc...

“We will return your Jonin, Terumi Mei, and the Third Mizukage when your forces retreat.”
“Understood.”
Standing at the edge of the forest, Minato watched Yagura and Kisame as they departed. He turned to Hyuga Fuji beside him and asked, “His real objective wasn’t the tailed beasts, but Terumi Mei, right?” 2024-12-03 14:51:54 +0000 UTC View Post
