Clearly, Minato Namikaze intends to personally confront the Raikage, and might even be planning a major confrontation!
Nonsense!
What nonsense!
How could the Hokage risk his life so alone!
What if something goes wrong!
[Ding! An emotional fluctuation from Hiruzen Sarutobi has been detected! Emotional value +500!]
He disregarded everything else and abruptly stood up, ready to speak up and stop Minato Namikaze's reckless actions.
However, the next second, with a soft "whoosh", Minato Namikaze's figure had vanished from the spot!
That was the sound of the Flying Thunder God Technique being activated!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was both shocked and furious.
Minato Namikaze was clearly determined and didn't give anyone a chance to dissuade him.
In the vast Hyuga council hall, only the Hyuga clansmen remained, their faces filled with astonishment.
After a long while, the elders looked at each other, all showing expressions of being moved.
Clearly, none of those present were fools—everyone knew exactly what the Hokage was planning to do.
For the sake of their Hyuga clan, the Fourth Hokage risked his life to go alone to negotiate with the Raikage.
"The Hokage actually went to such lengths for us..."
A member of the clan sighed, a hint of moisture welling in his eyes.
"To go and negotiate with the Raikage alone for the sake of the Hyuga clan?"
"Who in the entire ninja world doesn't know that the Raikage has a fiery temper? To be honest, the Hidden Cloud Village is the most unreasonable and the most difficult to deal with among the five great ninja villages."
Everyone chimed in with a mix of gratitude and worry.
Chapter 154 What right does she have to refuse?
in the audience.
Naruto looked at the screen and for the first time understood why Neji in his dream admired his father so much—
After all, her father is really too handsome!
He clenched his fists in excitement, jumped up from his seat, and shouted excitedly, "Father is so cool! That's how you should teach Lei Ying a lesson!"
After shouting that, Naruto pumped his fist with unrestrained enthusiasm, his face filled with admiration and joy.
After his initial excitement subsided, he quickly turned to Kakashi beside him and eagerly asked, "Kakashi-sensei, can my dad beat the Raikage?"
Kakashi was also excited when he heard this, but he was taken aback when he heard Naruto's question.
He recalled the legendary deeds of the Fourth Hokage, pondered for a moment, and then nodded solemnly: "Hmm... Minato-sensei should be more powerful."
His voice carried a hint of confidence.
After all, Minato Namikaze's reputation back then was well-deserved.
"Hahaha, it's more than just being better!" Jiraiya laughed and patted Naruto on the shoulder, quite proudly. "Minato is definitely better! Back then, Minato fought the Raikage brothers alone and managed to force them to retreat, let alone now when he's just facing the Raikage alone!"
At this point, Jiraiya couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling deeply proud of his beloved disciple's strength.
Naruto was stunned, his azure eyes filled with amazement: "Father is that amazing?!"
Seeing Naruto's expression of admiration and surprise, Jiraiya couldn't help but stroke his chin and chuckle smugly, "Hmph, he's my prized student! The renowned Yellow Flash! Of course he's amazing!"
Having said that, Jiraiya suppressed his smile, looked back at the light screen, and was filled with emotion.
He hadn't expected that in this dream, Minato, as the Hokage, was not only incredibly powerful, but also so efficient and reliable.
The reactions of the Hyuga clan members on screen speak volumes—who could refuse a Hokage who is so charismatic and considerate of his clan?
Jiraiya raised his eyebrows slightly, unable to help but admire in his heart: Minato, as expected of you!
Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, then his expression darkened: Unfortunately, in reality…
Danzo Shimura, who had been watching silently from the side, also widened his eyes, a look of shock and complexity flashing across them.
He never expected that the Fourth Hokage would dare to confront the Raikage alone!
And the result is obvious—
The fourth generation succeeded: Kumogakure chose to back down, and Minato Namikaze saved Hizashi Hyuga.
What does this mean?
This proves that his point of view was correct; at that time, the Hidden Cloud Village was just bluffing.
As long as Konoha took a firm stance, and as long as Hiruzen Sarutobi took a firm stance back then, Kumogakure wouldn't dare to do anything!
When Danzo got excited, he narrowed his one eye, a hint of mockery and dissatisfaction showing in the corner of his eye.
He stared at the stern-faced Third Hokage on the screen, inwardly scoffing, "Hiruzen! Hiruzen! In this situation, don't you feel ashamed at all?"

……
As the screen slowly dimmed, the dream ended.
Jiraiya, Naruto, Kakashi, and Danzo were startled awake from their dream and returned to their respective realities.
For the next two days, both in dreams and in reality, everything seemed calm on the surface, and nothing new happened.
In the dream, everything seemed peaceful, but Sasuke keenly sensed something was amiss.
Over the past two nights, he noticed that his father, Fugaku Uchiha, and his brother, Itachi Uchiha, were noticeably busier than usual.
In both of his dreams, he did not see his father and brother at home.
According to their mother, Mikoto, Fugaku and Itachi had been spending almost all their time at the police station handling official business for the past two days, returning home very late.
Clearly, the Leaf Village in the dream appears calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath.
Sasuke felt a vague sense of unease and curiosity about this.
In his dream, with the Uchiha clan still intact, his father and brother were alive and well, protecting the village side by side. This made Sasuke both proud and at ease.
Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, secretly vowing in his heart: whether in dreams or in reality, he would become stronger as soon as possible, strong enough to truly stand by his father and Itachi's side and face the unknown challenges that were about to come together.
……
In the past two days, another event has also attracted much attention: Tsunade has officially appeared in Konoha.
Jiraiya recently traveled to another place and finally managed to bring back one of Konoha's legendary "Sannin".
Upon her return, Princess Tsunade didn't remain idle. While resting, she also met Karin through Naruto.
This is the red-haired girl who is said to have been taken as his disciple in his dream.
At first, when Jiraiya mentioned what happened in his dream, Tsunade just laughed it off as a strange story and didn't take the matter of "taking on a disciple in her dream" to heart.
However, since she had already met her, she decided to personally assess Karin's qualifications.
Consider this a test of Jiraiya's "dreaming".
After personally testing it, Tsunade could not hide her shock.
She originally thought Karin was just someone with a large amount of chakra and the potential to become a medical ninja, but she never expected that this girl would actually have a special and highly effective healing ability, just as Jiraiya described!
This is hardly like a conventional medical ninjutsu; it's more like a bloodline limit technique!
Moreover, although Karin, this little girl, looks timid, she has a fierce spirit in her bones, which suits her taste very well.
In addition, her Uzumaki clan bloodline, vast chakra reserves, and amazing healing abilities make her a very suitable successor.
Tsunade couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate—
He thought he would never have the idea of taking on apprentices again, but unexpectedly, he met Karin.
Perhaps what happens in dreams is not entirely unreal; it is influencing and changing reality in some way.
Thinking of this, Tsunade felt a growing longing and anticipation for that mysterious dream.
In the dream, I seemed to have overcome my fear of blood, resumed my responsibilities as a medical ninja, and took Karin as my apprentice. What does this mean?
Is it possible that everything I lost in that world—like my younger brother Nawaki and Dan—may reappear in some form?
Over the past two days, Tsunade appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly her mind was already racing with thoughts.
"Hmph, don't disappoint me then," Tsunade muttered to herself, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
……
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Today is an extremely important day for Konoha.
The final trial of the Chunin Selection Exams, jointly organized by Konoha and Sunagakure, has finally begun amidst much anticipation!
Early in the morning, the streets of Konoha Village became exceptionally lively.
Visitors and villagers from various ninja villages thronged towards the first training ground—
This is the main venue for the Chunin Exams finals – Yongqu.
However, many people were unaware that a tense atmosphere was quietly spreading among the upper echelons of Konoha.
The conference room on the top floor of the Hokage's office building.
Jiraiya, Danzo, and Hiruzen Sarutobi gathered here at the crack of dawn to make final preparations for the battle.
"The Jonin and Anbu personnel have all been assigned." Hiruzen Sarutobi stood in front of his desk, his expression grave as he surveyed the room.
