The fifth day after the Kyuubi attack.

　　Makoto was finally approved to be discharged from the hospital.

　　After making many guarantees with Uzumaki Kushina, Minato was also temporarily discharged from the hospital.

　　According to the original schedule, Minato Namikaze had to recuperate in the hospital for half a month.

　　The reason why Minato Namikaze was discharged from the hospital was mainly to convene a high-level meeting.

　　After the meeting, he still has to go back to the hospital to recuperate.

　　After all, he was only 24 years old, at his prime, and if he didn't do a careful examination, he would be in trouble if he left a hidden injury.

　　Especially Minato Namikaze who was born as a civilian, without any special bloodline, his physical fitness can only be regarded as normal.

　　If it affects his superhuman reaction nerves because he has not fully recuperated after the injury, then the problem will be serious.

　　In addition, the Shinobi in the Village knew that Minato was okay, and the news spread throughout Konoha.

　　But until they didn't see Minato Namikaze 'alive' appearing in front of them, most of the Ninjas and Villagers were not at ease.

　　Some people even gathered at the entrance of Konoha Hospital, waiting for him to turn up.

　　It's less than a year since Minato became the Fourth Hokage.

　　However, he issued many laws and policies, such as lowering taxes; allowing vendors to set up stalls on non-main roads; and increasing funding for welfare homes and Ninja Academies, so that the low rank Ninjas and Villagers have gained tangible benefits.

　　Nine Tails was also sealed outside the Village by the Fourth Hokage.

　　Minato has won the hearts of the people.

　　"Fourth Hokage! Are you really all right?"

　　"Fourth Hokage! We can rest assured after seeing that you are fine!"

　　"Fourth Hokage! Why is your hand hurt? Is it serious?"

　　"Fourth Hokage, I have an ancestral ointment here, you..."

　　At the request of the Third, before going to the Hokage Building, Minato Namikaze walked around Konoha and took the long way around, showing people that he was okay. Uchiha Makoto followed him.

　　Facing the surrounding Villagers, Minato Namikaze waved to everyone with a smile.

　　When someone asked about his bandaged left hand, Minato Namikaze scratched his head and smiled:

　　"I can't say it's okay, the Kyuubi is indeed very powerful, look! I broke my left hand to seal it!"

　　I don't know if Minato Namikaze made a joke directly in order to reassure everyone.

　　"Yes! If It can hurt your left hand, then Nine Tails can hoot his trumpet for a hundred years!"

　　"Yes! That's it!"

　　The Villagers who were worried about Minato Namikaze were still in the mood to joke when they saw him, and their hanging hearts also dropped.

　　Everyone was overjoyed.

　　If it were the Third Hokage, although the Villagers respect him the same, they dare not joke with him like that.

　When Makoto heard those words, he couldn't help slowing down.

　　It's not that he doesn't like Minato's jokes, but he knows the character of Minato. This sentence is a joke at best, just to reassure everyone.

　　But the Kyuubi is not happy about it!

　　"He said you! You have the ability to beat him! What are you hitting me for?" Makoto whispered, rubbing his abdomen, which had been unusually hot since earlier.

　　However, his complaint has just ended, and the heat in his lower abdomen is even higher, like holding a hot water bottle in his arms in the summer, and the burning sensation makes him feel uncomfortable.

　　In fact, there are the Eight Trigram Seals of Minato Namikaze, and the body of the Uzumaki Kushina blocked its Chakra, the Kyuubi can only do this at best now.

　　But this is boring!

　　Makoto had to gather his Chakra in his abdomen, suppressing the nine-tailed Chakra.

　　After he was more than ten meters away from Minato Namikaze, the nine-tailed Chakra gradually settled down.

　　"Makoto? What are you doing so far away from me?" Minato who walked halfway found that Makoto was not by his side.

Suddenly, he looked back and found that Makoto was following him at a distance.

　　"It's nothing, Minato-senpai, you go first." Makoto showed an awkward and courteous smile on his face.

　　Upon seeing this, Minato Namikaze stopped and waited for him, and said, "You are indispensable in sealing the Nine Tails, why are you so humble?"

　　In fact, Minato Namikaze was a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of Villagers.

　　After all, he is a married man, so it's fine for a man to surround him. Many young women have come together. There are some bold widows who winks at him while leaning on him. If this is known to Kushina, then it will be troublesome.

　　So he made Makoto attract firepower very unscrupulously.

　　As a man who is chummy with the Fourth Hokage and father of Naruto, Makoto is unmarried and only 16 years old, so he is naturally more popular.

　　As soon as the words of Minato fell, most of the women who surrounded him suddenly separated and came to Uchiha Makoto.

　　"Lord Makoto! Do you have a girlfriend?" The girl who was talking was dressed-up, but her chest was a little big.

　　"Brother Makoto, is the Kyuubi really so strong? It can hurt the arms of Fourth Hokage!" It was a 4-year-old girl who asked these words, she hugged Makoto's thigh tightly.

　　"You are the Makoto of the Uchiha Clan, I remember you! Kazuha and you are still classmates, don't you remember? I am her mother."

　　The speaker was a mature woman, and Makoto remembered that she was the wife of the Villages Honeysuckle Horses' owner.

　　Although his nose felt her fragrant scent, and both his arms were hugged, it was a little refreshing, but after doing this, the Kyuubi went crazy again!

　　Makoto gently freed his arm, and then flashed out and rushed out of the crowd.

　　Upon seeing this, Minato Namikaze waved goodbye to everyone, and then used the technique of Flying Thunder God to run away.

　　...

　　Outside the Hokage Building, Makoto followed Minato upstairs while wiping the saliva and lipstick marks on his face.

　　Could it be that he is not at all majestic, he is obviously sullen, meaning that strangers should not enter, so these people are not afraid of him.

　　Sure enough, boys must protect themselves when they are outside. That's true!

　　Seeing Makoto this way, Minato smiled and joked with him.

　　But when they walked outside the lobby of the conference room next to the Hokage office, their expressions suddenly became serious.

　　"Minato-Senpai, starting today, many of your ambitions can be realized!"

　　"Makoto! Thanks for your help!"

　　"Minato-Senpai, with our relationship, you don't need to be so polite, we are mutually successful."

　　"This is our first step to change the Ninja World."

　　Minato Namikaze stretched out his fist.

　　Makoto confronted him, and then pushed open the door of the meeting room, Minato entered first, and he followed close behind.

　　At this time, the meeting room was full of people.

　　They were the last people to join the meeting.

　　Minato Namikaze came to the main seat and sat down.

　　His left hand is the Third Hokage, Shimura Danzo, Koharu Utatane, Mitokado Homura, Hyuga Hiashi, and some middle-class families in the Village.

　　On the right are Jiraiya, Uchiha Fugaku, and the patriarch of the Yamanaka, Nara and Akimichi Clan, as well as Jonin, who was born in a small family and a commoner.

　　There was still an empty seat next to Uchiha Fugaku's seat, and Minato gave Makoto a look when he was sitting.

　　When Makoto saw this, he calmly sat down next to Uchiha Fugaku.

　　His rank is still higher than the Yamanaka, the Nara and the Akimichi.

　　However, there was basically no dissatisfaction with Makoto at a young age.

　　Although Makoto is young and experienced, he has achieved great military feats. At 16 years old, he is already the top Ninja in the Village.

　　And they already know the process of the Nine Tails Attack.

　　Makoto helped the Fourth Hokage to seal the Nine Tails, avoiding huge losses in the Village, and he is qualified to sit in this seat today.

　　Danzo looked at this seat and had a vague premonition in his heart.

　　When the Fourth Hokage first took over as Hokage, in the high-level meeting, the Third Hokage usually sat with his three Advisors, and it is the same today.

　　Except for a few of their Advisors, the seats are not absolutely fixed.

　　On their side, the Hyuga Clan has remained neutral since the Third Hokage abdicated, and there is no difference.

　　But today the ranks of other people have changed, especially the patriarchs of the Yamanaka, Nara and Akimichi Clans have all gone to the opposite side.

　　Danzo felt an ominous premoniton.

　　After receiving a signal from Minato, Nara Shikaku said, "The meeting begins!"

　　"After the Kyuubi was sealed, has the Village's casualties and property losses in this battle been counted?" asked Minato Namikaze.

　　"Yes! Lord Fourth Hokage!" Nara Shikaku nodded for a long time, and stood up and said:

　　"This Nine Tails attack caused 12 serious injuries and 60 minor injuries, and 8 Anbu were killed outside the barrier of Lord Kushina's Delivery Site.

　　The wall on the west side of the Village collapsed about 40 meters in length, 5 houses collapsed and 31 houses were damaged.

　　The damaged area of farmland near the Village is relatively large, about 5 acres.

　　In addition, of the 12 seriously injured, 3 were civilians, and the other 9 were from the Uchiha Clan. They were hit by flying rocks while escorting the Villagers to the underground shelter. "

　　At the end, Nara Shikaku added one more sentence.

　　Everyone present was shocked.

　　The loss is not too great, but too small!

　　It exceeded their imagination.

　　After all, everyone here has been on the battlefield, and any small-scale battle will have more than so many casualties.

　　Especially the strongest tail beast, Nine Tails, was released. Such a loss was a blessing in misfortune.
