Naruto : Minato back to the past

"Oh, what do you want to borrow?"

Hiruzen asked immediately. He originally thought that Minato would ask him for some scrolls of various ninjutsu.

But he was only slightly surprised. Geniuses like Minato often have their own ideas.

Minato pondered for a moment, and then said: "I want to borrow some files about Konoha's history, preferably including the history of the Warring States period before the establishment of Konoha."

As soon as these words came out, Sandaime's eyes suddenly became stern.

He never thought that Minato wanted these things?

After saying that, Minato also raised his eyes and waited to see the reaction of Sandaime.

Although he didn't know whether the request he made could be realized, he still had to try his best.

Because Minato knew what he needed to do most

after his rebirth this time. The masked man who will take the Nine-Tails and attack Konoha while Kushina will be born in a dozen years.

Minato didn't know his specific identity, but what was certain was that this guy had hatred for the Konoha Ninja Village and even the entire ninja world, and he also remembered very clearly some of the words the former said when he fought with him.

[If I must say, the attack on Konoha was also a whim of mine, and it was also planned for a long time, both for war and for peace]

That guy not only knew his own abilities very well, but was also very familiar with everything about Konoha. The space-time ninjutsu he possessed should be a kind of dojutsu.

As far as Minato knew, the Uchiha clan's Sharingan was indeed powerful, but to have special abilities like the masked man, only the legendary [Mangekyo Sharingan] could have it.

In the history of Konoha, as far as Minato knew, the only people who possessed the [Mangekyo Sharingan] were Uchiha Madara and his brother, Uchiha Izuna.

Regardless of whether the person who attacked Konoha was Uchiha Madara, this person who possessed the [Mangekyo Sharingan] definitely had a deep grudge against Konoha.

Therefore, if he want to find out the purpose of the masked man, he have to trace it back to the beginning of Konoha's establishment, or even the more distant history of the Warring States Period.

And like this kind of history, there are some secrets in it, and only the real high-level people in the village are qualified to read it.

When Minato became the fourth Hokage, he naturally had this qualification, but it was just at the end of the Third Shinobi War, and Konoha, which had won the victory under the siege of the four major ninja countries, had a lot of work to do .

Just dealing with these things made Minato overwhelmed, but he had no time to look through these materials.

Therefore, at his current level, he was not very sure to borrow these materials.

After all, it involved some aspects of the village that ordinary people could not touch.

For example, the [Root], most of the tasks they performed could not be put on the table.

This is what is called politics.

Where there is light, there must be corners shrouded in darkness.

Hiruzen frowned and thought.

After more than ten minutes, Hiruzen slowly relaxed his brows, raised his eyes and looked at Minato, and asked in a heavy voice: "It's not that I can't lend you these files, but I want to know what your purpose is for wanting to look at these things."

Minato, who originally thought that there was no hope, brightened his eyes, and immediately looked at Sandaime and said: "Because I just experienced a war, for the sake of the village, I can fight for my life, but I also want to know, what is the root cause of the battle between ninjas?"

This is what Minato had thought of in advance.

After he said that, Hiruzen stared at him and looked at him.

Minato raised his eyes and met his gaze. No matter whether his reason was true or false, his purpose was for the village and Kushina, without any falsehood.

So, after looking at each other for a while, the heavy look on Sandaime's face gradually relaxed and turned into a smile.

"I didn't expect that your thoughts have reached such a level!"

Minato's brief words just now surprised Hiruzen more than knowing that he had developed S-level ninjutsu.

A ninja, no matter how brilliant and talented he is, if his thoughts are extreme, the more powerful he is, the more trouble he will cause.

But Minato, who is only eleven years old, had already jumped out of the surface of the war to find the root cause behind the war.

This is something that only a Hokage needs to consider.

"If it's this child, maybe it can be done."

Suddenly, an idea came to Hiruzen mind. He just entrusted the future to Minato, and the child also agreed without hesitation.

But he immediately suppressed the idea and laughed.

In the future, Minato might be able to achieve what he just thought, but given his background, even if he have Jiraiya as his master, he still needs to accumulate much on this road.

This refers to more than just the strength as a ninja .

"Since I just promised you, I have to prepare for this. I think to achieve what I promised you, it is not just to make myself a powerful ninja. After all, no matter how powerful a person's strength is, it is limited." Minato said.

Hiruzen heard this and was overjoyed, saying, "Well said!"

If other people had such achievements at Minato's age, it would be rare for them to be able to remain calm and not arrogant.

"So, can I borrow it?" Minato asked tentatively.

"Yes, but you have to promise me that you will not reveal everything you read to anyone, not even Kushina." Hiruzen said solemnly.

Minato hesitated for a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "I promise you in the name of Konoha Ninja that I will never reveal a single word to anyone."

Hiruzen heard this and nodded with a smile.

Minato was thinking quickly in his heart. He originally planned to borrow the [The Forbidden Scroll], so that he could use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu legitimately in the future. However, compared to the Flying Thunder God, he now needs to know these secret histories of Konoha more . The matter of ninjutsu can only be discussed later...
