Chapter 587 A Plan Made in Advance
Chapter 587 A Plan Made in Advance
Everyone stared in astonishment, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg.
"Everyone, it's been a long time!"
The figure spoke slowly, his tone relaxed and gentle.
Before the words were even finished, a commotion erupted from the audience. The once quiet conference room instantly became incredibly noisy, as if a bomb had been dropped on it.
The elders sitting below were initially filled with astonishment and confusion, but this feeling was quickly replaced by deep shock.
Especially Akimichi Choza, who was standing next to Akimichi Torifu, stared wide-eyed at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the stage, his body trembling involuntarily.
A moment later, Ding could no longer contain his excitement, and suddenly stood up, shouting loudly:
"Minato!? Is it really you!?"
Minato smiled at Choza, nodded slightly, and replied:
"Long time no see, Ding-za."
Upon hearing Minato's confirmation, the other elders also seemed to wake up from their daze.
The entire conference room erupted in cheers and shouts.
"The Fourth Hokage!"
"It's the Fourth Hokage!"
"Fourth Hokage, how could you...!?"
The entire conference room was completely drowned out by the cacophony of voices, with people chattering excitedly and their faces beaming with enthusiasm.
There are many reasons why everyone lost their composure.
It's important to know that Minato mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, which is known as the fastest movement technique in the ninja world.
With him around, it means that he can lead the Uchiha clan's experts with the Mangekyou Sharingan to launch surprise attacks on those villages at will.
Even if there is a Jinchūriki, it is still useless, since the Mangekyou Sharingan is the counter to Jinchūriki.
Moreover, with the Flying Thunder God, one can be guaranteed to leave the battlefield safely.
Back when Minato first became Hokage, Konoha didn't have such strong individual combat capabilities as Susanoo.
Now, Konoha Village will undoubtedly crush all other major ninja villages with an absolute advantage.
Moreover, from another perspective, this is different from Shisui's sudden disappearance and reappearance several years later.
People could guess that he was perhaps just seriously injured, or that he had been hiding his whereabouts in the dark.
However, Minato's death was witnessed by all the elders, so as long as the Minato in front of us is indeed himself...
That would be enough to prove that Konoha Village has successfully mastered the forbidden technique that can bring the dead back to life!
You should know that this kind of power has the potential to completely reshape the entire ninja world!
That's why everyone present seemed exceptionally excited and thrilled.
Especially the Hyuga clan members; Hyuga Aoto is currently the acting clan head of the Hyuga clan.
Moreover, he has been the acting clan leader for a very long time.
Although some clansmen suggested that he remove the word "agent," Hyuga Aoto did not agree.
For him, the clan leader could only be Neji after he grew up; right now, he was merely acting as the head of the Hyuga clan.
However, seeing the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, reappear, he suddenly had a different thought.
"Knock knock knock!" All that could be heard was Tsunade's slender, long fingers gently tapping on the wooden tabletop.
The sound was deafening, as if someone were pounding a giant war drum right next to your ear.
In an instant, the once noisy and bustling meeting room became completely silent, and all the elders fell silent.
But the expressions on their faces were still full of doubt and unease.
Tsunade was well aware of everyone's reaction at that moment.
After all, something as extraordinary as resurrection is too shocking, and anyone with a little common sense would understand the implications.
So the question is, is this person claiming to be Minato Namikaze real or fake?
Just moments ago, that figure sped over like lightning, unleashing the astonishing Flying Thunder God Technique.
However, its speed was so fast that almost no one present had time to react.
Seemingly aware of everyone's deep-seated doubts, Tsunade looked at Minato and gave him a subtle wink.
Minato nodded knowingly, and without hesitation, pulled out three Flying Thunder God kunai that gleamed with a cold light from his robes.
With a flick of his arm, he hurled it forcefully.
The kunai flew straight towards three different locations in the conference room: the door, the back row, and the head seat.
The next moment, Minato's figure instantly transformed into a phantom, flashing back and forth between the three locations at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive.
That's right, this is the legendary Flying Thunder God Technique!
Since the passing of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, only Minato Namikaze has been able to master such unparalleled ninjutsu.
At this moment, there is no need for further explanation. Minato has already proven his true identity to everyone through his actions—the real Fourth Hokage!
In an instant, the once quiet meeting room was thrown into chaos once again.
Exclamations of admiration filled the air, and people whispered among themselves, their faces showing disbelief.
But after only a moment, the noise subsided quickly, and everyone came to their senses.
At this moment, no longer could one see any doubt on anyone's face; instead, their faces were filled with shock and excitement.
It's safe now!
Although the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Senyou, has disappeared, our Fourth Hokage is back!
The village is not lacking in people who can offer advice and strategies; what is truly scarce is a highly mobile, top-tier combat force.
Although Minato himself does not know how to fly, his amazing Flying Thunder God Technique is enough to give him the ability to fly.
Just then, Tsunade slowly spoke, "Everyone..."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to instantly draw everyone's attention.
Tsunade continued speaking:
"Our Fifth Hokage had already made plans and arrangements for this before the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out."
Then, Tsunade paused briefly, looked around, and spoke again:
"If he is unable to stay in Konoha for an extended period due to some commitments."
"Then at that time, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, will once again shoulder the responsibility of leading the entire village."
After saying that, Tsunade subtly winked at Uchiha Mayumi, who was standing to the side.
Upon receiving the signal, Mayumi immediately stood up and loudly responded:
"Indeed, our clan leader made relevant arrangements before the start of the Ninja World War."
Immediately afterwards, Mayumi lowered her voice slightly and began to explain:
"Recently, we did not send the Fourth Hokage to be a Jonin, hoping to use this as an excuse to lure Kumogakure and Iwagakure to invade again."
"It's just that the clan chief miscalculated his own strength. The strength he displayed was so astonishing that it completely intimidated the other villages."
"These days, these guys don't dare to launch a direct war easily; instead, they've turned to economic warfare."
"Since the plan has failed, now is the best time for the Fourth Hokage to take up his post again and take control of the situation!"
