Chapter 22: Another Fourth Hokage! The Yellow Flash!

[Ding! The Hokage meeting is about to start]

[Do you want to invite newcomers?]

Having been waiting for the fifth Hokage to come in and chat to open other functions, Bai Ye naturally made his choice without hesitation at this time.

"Invite!"

[Ding! Invitation successful]

[Konoha's Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, joins the group chat]

With a system beep, Bai Ye froze in place for an instant.

"Minato?!"

Looking at the system prompts, what Bai Ye didn't expect was that it would be Namikaze Minato who came in. A moment ago, Minato was still reporting work to him, and now he was pulled into the Hokage chat group. This felt a bit too coincidental. But looking at the system prompt, this Minato should be the one who took the role of Fourth Hokage in the original story. That's the one, Hokage on the surface, but in reality, the old guy from the Third Hokage is still in power.

"I just don't know what time period this Fourth Hokage project is now~ If it's the Nine Tails Rebellion, then we'll have fun~"

Just as Bai Ye was pondering this, the colorful rays of light appeared again before his eyes, instantly enveloping Bai Ye, and his consciousness entered the space of the Hokage chat group.

---

**Konoha Village, Inside the Hokage Building**

Wearing a handsome Hokage robe, his flowing blond hair looked a little messy at the moment. In front of him were piles of files and reports. Looking at these dossiers, the Fourth Hokage felt overwhelmed.

"Really, why are there so many~ Does the Third Hokage really need to process so many files?"

Since becoming Hokage, Namikaze Minato never went a day without working on documents. Every day was almost full of files, and despite processing them daily, the files only seemed to increase, piling up into a hill. This scene left Minato numb.

Hearing Minato's complaints, there was actually another desk in the Hokage's office. The owner of the desk was the Third Hokage, who should have retired. Yet he was still active at the top of Konoha Village, even holding more power than the current Hokage, Minato.

Looking at the weary Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked over cheerfully holding a pipe.

"Hahaha, you know, this old man came through this too~ The seat of Hokage is not so easy to occupy~"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Minato found it difficult to say more and could only continue working diligently. After Minato reviewed each document, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction. The decision to step aside and choose a Fourth Hokage was perfect. Not only did he not have to hand over many powers, but he also didn't have to deal with these cumbersome documents every day. While allowing himself to hold power, he still had plenty of time to enjoy himself, with many more opportunities to use the crystal ball for surveillance.

Just when Minato was processing the files bitterly, a voice instantly rang in Minato's mind.

[Ding! You have joined the Konoha Hokage chat group]

[Group owner Bai Ye is holding a Hokage meeting, please join now!]

"Um?!"

Namikaze Minato, who was initially depressed, stopped what he was doing in an instant, looking around the office with some doubts. Apart from himself, the room only had the Third Hokage. But the sound just now obviously wasn't from the Third Hokage.

"Lord Third Hokage, did you hear anything just now?"

Just now, if he heard correctly, it seemed to be about some Konoha Hokage chat group. Was it possible to chat with other Hokage?

And the Third Hokage also froze in place upon hearing the words.

"There was no sound at all. What are you talking about?"

Looking at Minato, who looked puzzled in front of him, the Third Hokage couldn't help feeling a jolt. It couldn't be that this kid was becoming stupid from handling documents. This can't happen; he was the perfect tool chosen by himself. How could he be dulled by a few files?

"But I just heard..."

At this moment, Namikaze Minato calmed down, suppressing all the words he was about to say. He was sure he heard it right just now.

[Ding! Group owner Bai Ye has launched a Hokage meeting! Please go to participate now!]

'That's right! This is the voice!'

Just when Minato was still a little confused, the voice in his head rang again. At this moment, Minato didn't care about anything else. The document in front of him was too terrifying. It made Minato not want to stay in the office for a second.

"Join!!! I want to see!!!"

As Minato said this, a rainbow of rays of light enveloped him.

In the blink of an eye, Namikaze Minato found himself in a white world. Sitting at the head of the round table not far away was Bai Ye. Looking at Bai Ye and the familiar Hokage robe he wore, Namikaze Minato couldn't help being taken aback. After a moment of delay, he opened his mouth and said, "Are you also the Fourth Hokage?"

Facing Minato's inquiry, Bai Ye also spread his hands: "Obviously, yes~"

Hearing that, Namikaze Minato, on the other hand, seemed unusually calm, not even the slightest surprise. This performance puzzled Bai Ye a little.

"I almost understand~ Is it the so-called parallel world?"

Hearing Namikaze Minato's words, Bai Ye was stunned for a while, but soon, he recalled a previous plot. That is, Minato once met his son. Although it is from a theatrical version, after that incident, Minato knew a lot about parallel worlds.

"I didn't expect you to know about parallel universes~ Sit down first, everyone is not here yet!"

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Minato had that iconic smile on his face, then found a place at the round table and sat down. He was going to continue asking Bai Ye about the chat group, but before Minato could speak, three more figures appeared in the chat space, all wearing Hokage robes. When Namikaze Minato saw the one in the middle, his eyes widened instantly.

"First... First Hokage?!!!"
