Chapter 750 The Fifth Hokage Minato Namikaze

After the alliance matters were settled, Muzuki released some of the Jonin from the Four Great Shinobi Villages, allowing them to handle related affairs.

After all, the elites of the Four Great Shinobi Villages had all been packaged and sent to prison by Muzuki. If he didn’t release some people, the Four Great Shinobi Villages might face operational issues, let alone carry out the tasks Muzuki assigned.

Muzuki’s actions were too swift. The news of the Martial Arts Tournament battle had just begun to ferment, when the news of the Five Great Ninja Villages and the Shinobi Sect jointly forming an alliance spread.

This led many Ninja who received the news to believe one of them was false.

It couldn’t be that they were fighting to the death one moment and then allied less than a day later, could it?

As it turned out, it was true. The Five Great Ninja Villages and the Shinobi Sect both issued announcements about forming an alliance, welcoming all Ninja Villages in the Ninja World to join the alliance and jointly protect Ninja World peace.

Ordinary Ninja Villages like the Grass Ninja Village and Hidden Waterfall Village were delighted. When has a Shinobi World War not been about you Five Great Ninja Villages fighting each other? And now you’re protecting peace?

However, they did not question the authenticity of the announcement.

Because the most widespread news currently was Muzuki’s dual identity and his invincible strength, having defeated all the elites of the Four Great Shinobi Villages.

The history of the Ninja Village era was only a few decades long, and everyone had not forgotten the situation in the early days of the Ninja Village era.

They believed they had found the answer from history, feeling that the Ninja World had ushered in a temporary peace that would end with Hayate Mugetsu’s lifespan.

In a world like the Ninja World, where individuals possess great power, strong individuals can truly do whatever they want, even if what they desire is an abstract concept like peace.

Even a brief peace is peace, and the vast majority of people in the Ninja World were pleased about it.

Muzuki left a clone to handle affairs at the Shinobi Sect, then returned to Konoha with the Konoha Ninja.

Before resigning, he still needed to handle some matters as Hokage.

Upon returning to Konoha, all Konoha Ninja tacitly avoided mentioning Sōsuke and the Shinobi Sect, even the two Konoha higher-ups, Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu.

Evidently, they did not mind this matter.

On his first day back in Konoha, Muzuki convened a high-level meeting and announced his proposed reforms to the Hokage system.

His idea was to add a term limit for the Hokage: each term would be five years, with no more than three consecutive re-elections, and no one could serve as Hokage and then be re-elected as Hokage more than twice.

This meant that each person could serve as Hokage for a maximum of fifteen years, and if they didn’t perform well, they would only serve for five years.

Before returning to Konoha, Muzuki had already discussed this with Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi, so they immediately agreed.

Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu had different ideas in their hearts, but they didn’t voice them and readily agreed.

Disagreement was useless anyway. Unless Senju Hashirama revived on the spot, no one could suppress Muzuki, and Muzuki wasn’t acting alone, having the support of Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Then, Muzuki seized the opportunity to implement another wave of reforms in Konoha, laying out Konoha’s development plan for the next ten years.

The entire Ninja World was about to undergo tremendous changes, and Konoha would bear important responsibilities in it.

Due to Ninja, the development of the Ninja World was quite distorted, and to ensure rapid development, Muzuki had no choice but to perform some’surgery’ on the Ninja World.

Feudal products like Daimyo and nobles should be quickly swept into the dustbin of history.

If military forces were integrated, there was no reason not to integrate politics.

Of course, sweeping them into the dustbin didn’t mean killing all Daimyo and nobles; it meant destroying the entire system. As for specific individuals, that would depend on the specific situation; a one-size-fits-all approach was certainly not feasible.

The Daimyo held some Ninja forces, but compared to the Five Great Ninja Villages, they were insignificant.

When the Four Great Shinobi Villages had all selected their new Kage, the Five Kage gathered once more at Six Paths City, and the Ninja World Alliance was officially established.

For Sunagakure, Chiyo served as the Fifth Kazekage.

As for Kumogakure, the Third Raikage’s son, who was also the Fourth Raikage Ay of the new AB Combo, served as the Fourth Raikage.

For Hidden Mist, Yagura Karatachi served as the Fourth Mizukage.

For Iwagakure, Kitsuchi served as the Fourth Tsuchikage.

The first order of business for the alliance was to determine the various positions.

Important positions were essentially held by outstanding Ninja from the Shinobi Sect and strong individuals from the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Currently, other Ninja Villages were still observing and had not actively joined the Ninja World Alliance.

Next was the election of the alliance leader, and without a doubt, Muzuki was elected.

After becoming the alliance leader, Muzuki also officially announced his impending resignation from the position of Hokage of Konoha, and that he would select the Fifth Hokage for Konoha.

When Konoha’s Ninja and residents learned of Muzuki’s resignation, they spontaneously went to the Hokage Building.

Muzuki’s tenure as Hokage was not long, but he had accomplished a lot, and coupled with the worship of strong individuals, Muzuki enjoyed extremely high prestige in Konoha.

“Lord Fourth, are you abandoning Konoha?”

Many Ninja and residents asked with worried expressions.

Ordinary Ninja and residents didn’t know much; from their perspective, Muzuki was resigning shortly after his identity was exposed.

“Is it that someone is dissatisfied with your creation of the Shinobi Sect?”

Someone immediately started a conspiracy theory.

“Everyone, don’t overthink it. My resignation from the Hokage position is my own will, and my resignation doesn’t mean I’m leaving Konoha.”

Muzuki spoke to reassure them.

In the years he had transmigrated to the Ninja World, he had spent most of his time in Konoha, and he still had some feelings for Konoha.

Under Muzuki’s reasoned and emotional reassurance, the crowd quickly dispersed.

Since Muzuki was too busy to continue, there was nothing that could be done. They couldn’t force Muzuki to be Hokage, that would be a bit too much.

The election for the Fifth Hokage went largely as Muzuki expected, with Minato Namikaze defeating the other candidate and becoming Konoha’s new Hokage.

Due to Muzuki’s influence, Minato Namikaze did not have as much fame as in the original work.

However, among young Ninja, excluding Muzuki’s situation, Minato Namikaze was still the top person.

Furthermore, Minato Namikaze had achieved many political successes during his time as Hokage Assistant, and he had many supporters in Konoha.

On the day Minato Namikaze was successfully elected, Kushina and Minato Namikaze invited Muzuki, Obito-Nii, and other disciples to their home as guests.

“Today, Muzuki, you don’t need to help. Let Minato and I do it.”

Kushina held down Muzuki, who instinctively rose to go to the kitchen, emphasizing her words.

As neighbors and good friends, they frequently visited each other’s homes, so they usually helped out automatically.

When Minato Namikaze and Kushina went to Muzuki’s house for a meal, Minato Namikaze would usually help prepare ingredients.

When Muzuki visited Minato Namikaze’s house, he would cook one or two dishes.

However, today was a good day for Minato Namikaze’s successful election, and Kushina felt it would be better for them as a couple to cook.

“Then I’ll just wait for dinner.”

Muzuki didn’t insist on going into the kitchen and agreed with a smile.

“But I’ll trouble you to look after Naruto.”

Kushina chuckled, then waved to Naruto, who was spacing out nearby.

“Naruto, come here quickly. Let your Uncle Muzuki tell you a story.”

Hearing his mother’s voice, Naruto ran to Kushina’s side on his short legs, looked up at Muzuki’s face, and said, “Dad… Dad.”

Kushina rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Although Muzuki and Naruto had met many times, Naruto seemed unable to distinguish Minato Namikaze and Muzuki very well, especially after Muzuki stopped wearing glasses.

“Haha, Kushina-sensei, you can’t blame Naruto for this. If Kakashi-sensei doesn’t wear glasses, he looks too much like Minato-sensei.”

Obito-Nii couldn’t help but laugh.

“Forget it, it should get better when he’s two or three.”

Kushina patted Naruto’s little head and walked towards the kitchen.

Obito-Nii was indeed right. Minato Namikaze and Muzuki already looked alike, and Naruto was only one year old, with poor cognitive ability, so it was understandable that he couldn’t tell them apart.

After all, she was so intelligent, and Minato Namikaze’s IQ was not low, so their child must be very smart.

“Naruto, do you still remember me? I’m your Obito-Nii. I even held you when you were born.”

Obito-Nii leaned close to Naruto and said.

Naruto stared at Obito-Nii with wide eyes, not quite understanding what he meant.

“Do you expect a one-year-old to quickly understand such a long sentence from you?”

Kakashi said exasperatedly.

“Naruto, I’m Rin-Nee.”

Rin Nohara smiled gently and squatted beside Naruto, looking at him at eye level.

“Rin-Nee.”

Rin Nohara repeated, pronouncing each syllable very clearly.

“Rin-Nee.”

Under Rin Nohara’s repeated guidance, Naruto followed Rin Nohara and said the words “Rin-Nee.”

“So that’s how it is! As expected of Rin, so smart!”

Obito-Nii gave Rin Nohara a thumbs-up and praised her.

Then Obito-Nii followed suit and finally successfully guided Naruto to call him Obito-Nii.

“Not bad. From now on, Naruto, you’re under my protection.”

Obito-Nii showed a satisfied expression. The older Naruto was too disobedient; it was the little Naruto from their world who gave him face.

Looking at Obito-Nii’s satisfied expression, Kakashi found it a bit hard to comment.

He had been thinking about one phrase, “Obito-Nii,” for so long; he was so childish that Kakashi didn’t know what to say.

“Kakashi, you didn’t do anything and still got to be an elder, of course you’re happy. I’ve suffered, calling Naruto-Nii so many times.”

Obito-Nii said indignantly.

Little Kakashi-sensei was still a sensei; the Naruto from the other world didn’t call him little Obito-Nii.

“Is being too outstanding also a fault? Perhaps there’s also you in the other world, but you’re too mediocre, so no one knows you.”

Kakashi habitually poked at his heart.

Seeing the two about to have their daily ‘relationship-building’ session, Muzuki carried Naruto upstairs to prevent him from learning anything he shouldn’t.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Obito-Nii waved his hands, his face full of confidence.

“From the current situation, if there are identical people in two worlds, their differences shouldn’t be too great.”

“Just like Yamato both has Wood Release, and Minato-sensei both became Hokage.”

“I defeated the Kazekage at fifteen, a super genius acknowledged by the entire Ninja World. If I exist in the other world, there’s no way I’d be unknown!”

If Obito-Nii was truly weak, Kakashi’s taunts would upset him.

But he wasn’t weak; he was one of the most powerful geniuses in the entire Ninja World now.

“Tsk, who can say for sure? After all, there’s no Muzuki-sensei in the other world.”

Kakashi said casually.

Actually, Kakashi agreed with Obito-Nii’s analysis, believing that people with the same name in two worlds wouldn’t have too much of a difference.

However, Obito-Nii had been too arrogant and smug after defeating the Kazekage, always subtly twisting his words, which annoyed Kakashi.

Kakashi’s words made Obito-Nii fall into deep thought.

He thought carefully and realized it might indeed be possible.

He had potential, that was true, but if he hadn’t had Muzuki’s guidance, whether he could have lived long enough to realize that potential was a question.

He graduated during the Third Shinobi World War, and the entire Ninja World was very dangerous.

Even with Muzuki’s protection and guidance, Obito-Nii had experienced multiple life-or-death crises.

If it weren’t for Muzuki, Obito-Nii couldn’t imagine what it would have been like.

“It won’t be like you imagine.”

Although Obito-Nii agreed with Kakashi’s words in his heart, he still chose to be stubborn.

Admitting it directly would be tantamount to admitting that he was inferior to Kakashi.

Without Muzuki’s guidance, Kakashi would still be a famous Konoha Jonin, with excellent disciples like Naruto.

But he, Obito-Nii, would be unknown, perhaps having died in some corner of the war.

Unless the facts were undeniable, Obito-Nii would never admit that such a thing could happen.

“But speaking of the other world, I wonder how they’re doing, and if they’ve defeated Akatsuki.”

Obito-Nii changed the subject.

“It’s very worrying. If there’s no Muzuki-sensei in the other world, then it’s very likely they won’t be able to form a Ninja World Alliance. Even if they defeat the Akatsuki Organization, the Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, once unsealed, will be an unsolvable threat.”

Rin Nohara said with a worried expression.

Although Naruto and Yamato’s information didn’t play much of a role, they indeed took a huge risk of changing history to help them.

“That’s true.”

Kakashi nodded.

Muzuki’s contribution to the establishment of the Ninja World Alliance was indispensable.

If there wasn’t a corresponding strong individual like Muzuki in the other world, then they could only wait for an external crisis to appear.

“Then they can just transmigrate back to our side, and we’ll send Ninja to support them.”

Obito-Nii had a flash of inspiration.

If they could transmigrate once, then it was possible to transmigrate a second time. After all, the Dragon Veins were there; trying more might lead to success.

“Or we could research how to transmigrate to their side. I’m quite curious about that world.”

Deep down, Obito-Nii still didn’t believe that he would truly die unknown in the war.

He leaned more towards his previous speculation, which was that he didn’t exist in that world.

“This is transmigration between worlds; it’s not as simple as you say.”

Kakashi shook his head, thinking this possibility was unlikely.

The last time alone proved the danger of Dragon Veins transmigration. Naruto, Yamato, and Hundred Feet transmigrated together, but Hundred Feet arrived several years before Naruto.

Even if they understood the principle of Dragon Veins transmigration and could use it to transmigrate to another world, they might not be able to accurately transmigrate to a suitable time.

They might transmigrate to the other world when Naruto was just born, or even earlier during the Sengoku period, or perhaps even to a Ninja World destroyed by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

The uncertainty was too great.

“Kakashi, since you said that, then there’s still quite a lot of hope!”

Obito-Nii believed in Kakashi’s jinxing power.

As long as Kakashi performed normally, it was definitely a sure thing.

Kakashi:……
