In Naruto: Reborn with a Chat Group

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: What Is A Hokage?



At this moment, Minato, who had always been known for his sunny and optimistic nature, was overwhelmed by a surge of fear, disbelief, anger, and sadness.

Dark emotions consumed his heart.

When the others in the chat group saw Minato's messages, their expressions grew complicated.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen had done was truly revolting.

[Uzumaki Kushina: Minato…! Our son…]

[Uchiha Madara: Damn it! This really makes me sick! Is this truly the Hokage of our village? He makes me want to vomit!]

[Senju Hashirama: Sigh… I never expected the later generation Hokage to fall this low]

[ Uchiha Madara: It's all because of that damned monkey bastard! Tobirama, how did you end up with such a disciple? If this were my student, I would've crushed him to death first!]

[Senju Tobirama: Stop talking! I've wanted to do that for a long time now!]

At this moment, Kushina not only felt heartbroken for her son but also for Minato. He had dedicated everything to the village, yet their son was being treated like this by everyone in the village.

[Namikaze Minato: This is all my fault. I shouldn't have sealed the Nine-Tails inside Naruto in the first place. I shouldn't even have become Hokage. If I hadn't taken that position, our family of three would be living happily right now!]

[Uzumaki Kushina: No, Minato, it's not your fault!]

[Namikaze Minato: Lord First, Lord Second, why are you both staying silent? Tell me, what did I do wrong? What did my son even do to deserve this?!]

[Senju Hashirama: No, Fourth, this isn't your fault. The blame lies with the current high-ranking officials of Konoha.]

[Senju Tobirama: Yeah, this has nothing to do with you. It's all because of that son of a bitch Hiruzen. He is too scheming!]

[Makoto Ito: Sigh, this is the nature of the human heart.]

[ Uchiha Madara: That's right. This is human nature—filthy, full of desire and darkness. That's why I say there will never be true peace in the ninja world. Even if there is peace for a short time, it's only temporary. It only exists when a single powerful person suppresses everyone, forcing them into silence.

But once that powerful figure disappears, the ninja world immediately falls into chaos, just like what happened after the First Ninja War! ]

[Ito Makoto: To be honest, I actually quite agree with your idea, Madara.]

[Uchiha Madara: Right, Kid? Did you hear that, Hashirama?!]

[Senju Hashirama: Shut up, Madara!]

[Makoto Ito: Madara, I think you really do want peace in the ninja world. How about you give me those eyes of yours and teach me all your skills? How about I suppress the entire ninja world on your behalf and make the ninja world peaceful?]

[Uchiha Madara: Impossible!]

[Makoto Ito: Sigh, you are so stingy]

...

Minato was still filled with self-doubt and guilt overwhelmed his heart as he thought about Naruto's situation.

[Makoto Ito: Minato, you are an excellent ninja without a doubt and a person of high moral character, but you are not suited for the Hokage position]

[Namikaze Minato: Do you really think so? But I gave up everything for the village…]

Minato was filled with disbelief as he saw Makoto's message.

He had sacrificed his life, his wife and even his own son's happiness for the village. Yet, Makoto said he wasn't suited for the hokage position?

[Uzumaki Kushina: Minato, don't listen to his words!]

[Makoto Ito: In my opinion, being Hokage is all about playing dirty politics and manipulating people's hearts. So, Minato, Do you know how to play dirty politics? Or to manipulate people's hearts? And I hate to break it to you, but after you took the position, did you ever have real authority?]

[No, the power remained in the hands of the Third Hokage and the elders. You were nothing more than a figurehead!]

[Makoto Ito: Do you even understand what transitional hokage is? That's exactly what you were!]

[The true Hokage position had already been arranged by Hiruzen for someone from the Sarutobi clan or possibly even his son, Asuma. The only reason he stepped back into power was that your unexpected death forced him to adjust his plans. He had no choice but to return and ensure his chosen successor could take over smoothly.]

[Senju Tobirama: Honestly, there's nothing wrong with what you said.]

[Whether it was my older brother or the Fourth Hokage, neither of them was suited for the position. My brother was too soft-hearted and indecisive, while the Fourth Hokage had no grasp of politics or how to use people]

[Sigh…If Madara had become the Hokage, the world might have been unified by now. With the combined strength of my brother and Madara, bringing the entire ninja world under one rule would have been a piece of cake!]

[Uchiha Madara: Hah! I never thought I'd see the day when Tobirama actually said something positive about me!]

[Senju Tobirama: Don't get ahead of yourself, you damn Uchiha! I'm just stating the facts]

[Makoto Ito: Well, it's true that the First and Fourth Hokage weren't exactly cut out for politics.]

[Grandpa Second, you've always had a sharp sense for politics, and when it comes to manipulating people, you're no worse than the Third Hokage.]

[Senju Tobirama: Hmph! As far as I'm concerned, Hiruzen is a disappointment]

[Namikaze Minato: So… this is how it is…]

[Senju Hashirama: Sigh, I never expected Naruto to have such a past]
