I, Danzo, will surely lead Konoha to victory!

The Kyuubi chakra rebellion didn't last long. In less than half a minute, it gradually calmed down.

After all, through the seal, Madara's Summoning Technique could only influence the Kyuubi chakra, but couldn't actually control the Kyuubi.

However, this undoubtedly proved that Madara was still alive!

No one could summon the Kyuubi except him!

"Kushina, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Minato performed hand seals, infused chakra, and strengthened the Four Symbols Seal.

"Minato, it's really that guy!"

"Really Uchiha Madara?"

The slap in the face came so quickly that Jiraiya's face was now burning.

He had assumed Madara was long dead, so he immediately presented him with the Summoning Technique to declare his sovereignty over the Kyuubi.

If not for the barrier placed outside the house, they would have almost thought Madara was watching them all the time.

"It's him! The Kyuubi is so angry, he couldn't have just been pretending."

"Except for Uchiha Madara, no one can make the Kyuubi so afraid and hateful."

What about Hashirama?

The Kyuubi was only afraid, not resentful. After all, Hashirama didn't ride him every day.

As for sealing it into the Jinchuriki's body?

Without the Jinchuuriki seal, the Kyuubi would have been summoned by Madara and continued to rampage. In a way, the Kyuubi should be grateful to the Jinchuuriki!

"That guy is indeed still alive, and he still craves the Kyuubi."

Minato clenched his fist, feeling a crisis in his heart.

The last trace of worry about whether Uchiha Madara was still alive was completely gone.

Minato carried Kushina back to bed and told her to rest well.

Then he went out of the room and discussed with Jiraiya again.

"Sensei, your proposal."

After being urged, Minato could only veto the proposal that Jiraiya-sensei had just made.

Sorry, but he didn't like war. But when facing a greater threat, a certain amount of sacrifice had to be made.

Minato had fought through the Third Ninja World War, he would never be merciful at a critical time.

"Sorry, I almost misled you!"

Jiraiya was quite embarrassed, he apologized frankly.

Now, he no longer doubted Madara's threat. Instead, he was even more worried, how to deal with such a powerful enemy?

The Konoha Sannin sounded very grand, and indeed very powerful. But compared to the legendary pervert like Uchiha Madara, the gap was not small at all!

Not to mention, he heard that Madara was no longer alone and had secretly formed an entire organization for him to use.

This was several times more threatening than fighting alone!

"It's okay. Sensei, I can understand how important you think the village is. It's just..."

Minato shook his head, not blaming Jiraiya at all.

No one would want to swing a knife at themselves unless the 'tumor' was so big that it threatened their life.

But Minato wasn't finished.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

A knock on the door sounded again, much softer than before.

Minato and Jiraiya looked at each other and gestured for Jiraiya to keep it a secret. Then he immediately opened the door.

And it turned out that the person standing outside the door was actually Danzo!

"Danzo?!"

"Minato."

Danzo nodded in greeting.

It was very rare for him not to have a bad face, and he also had a subtle smile.

Today he came specifically to visit this couple.

As half a Hokage, this was his closest dream.

Thanks to Minato for taking the initiative to lower himself. For emotional and logical reasons, he had to come to see Minato's couple to offer his condolences.

"Danzo, please come in."

Minato politely invited Danzo in. After the latter entered, he glanced at Jiraiya in the living room.

"Jiraiya? Are you back?"

Danzo already knew that Jiraiya had returned. If the barrier in the village couldn't monitor outsiders, why couldn't it monitor its own people?

It was precisely because he knew that Jiraiya had returned and was worried that he would encourage Minato and destroy his new power that Danzo rushed to intervene.

"Hehe, we just arrived not long ago."

After all, Danzo was a good friend of teacher Hiruzen, so Jiraiya still had to give him face.

Danzo nodded slightly at Jiraiya and didn't say anything else.

This guy's personality was more like Hiruzen, he was full of lust and lacked character, and Danzo didn't like him very much.

Compared to Jiraiya, he still preferred Orochimaru, who was lonely, cold, and smart.

The key was to use him well, or cooperate well.

As long as he paid enough interest, Orochimaru would help him achieve his desired results. Unlike Jiraiya, he had to be convinced to overcome his ninja way.

"How is your wife?"

"Not ideal, the seal is only strengthened."

Minato opened the door of the room, allowing Danzo to have a glimpse.

Kushina looked very weak in bed, and there were still traces of sweat on her forehead, which showed that her condition was very concerning.

And Danzo could indeed feel a slight trace of the Kyuubi' negative chakra.

Little did he know that this was the bad impact caused by Madara's summoning of the Kyuubi just now.

Seeing this, Danzo felt very relieved.

This didn't seem to be fake. Who would dare to take the risk of releasing the Kyuubi?

Determining the reality of Minato and Kushina's true condition was also one of Danzo's goals here.

"Sealed or unstable?"

"Yes. It needs to be strengthened every few hours, and Kushina's condition is getting worse."

Danzo felt happy when he heard this, but continued to say seriously:

"Everyone is aware of the danger of the Kyuubi. It is a great kindness to allow you and your wife to continue living in the village. Minato, you must maintain the seal and never release the Kyuubi again."

"Okay!"

"During this time, please spend time with your wife. Don't worry about things in the village. I will take care of it."

"Thank you!"

Minato nodded gratefully. Jiraiya beside him turned his head and held back a smile, almost revealing his secret.

"How is the situation in the outer villages now? Is there any movement from enemy countries?" Minato asked deliberately.

Danzo was very satisfied with Minato's clueless state, and immediately answered:

"Other countries should know about the Kyuubi Rebellion in Konoha, but they are still waiting and watching."

"Only Kumogakure Village seems to be restless. Yesterday on the border of the Land of Fire, traces of Kumogakure ninja infiltration were detected. They may want to test Konoha. There might be another war soon."

Minato pretended to be surprised: "What about me?"

Danzo waved his hand and promised enthusiastically:

"Minato, don't worry. You don't need to take action yet, just protect your wife."

"I will definitely protect Konoha for you and lead Konoha to victory!"

Danzo had been waiting too long for the opportunity to express himself, how could he let it go?

Taking advantage of his current position to completely defeat Kumogakure Village and achieve achievements.

How could he replace Minato?

How to become the real Hokage?

His main goal of coming here was to stop Minato's intervention. If Minato insisted on intervening, he might have to use some tricks.

Fortunately, Minato seemed very sensitive, and he seemed inseparable from Kushina.

The future of Konoha would definitely belong to him!

Danzo's heart jumped, and he felt like he had finally regained his second youth!

When he defeated Kumogakure Village and truly took the position of Hokage, he would definitely be able to suppress Hiruzen!
