I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

"reform?"

Jiraiya was a little confused and didn't understand why Namikaze Minato wanted to reform.

The village has just ended the war with Iwagakure, and it is time to recuperate. Such a drastic reform plan will inevitably allow other ninja villages to take advantage of the situation.

You know, Konoha hasn't signed a peace agreement with Kumogakure Village yet?

Namikaze Minato motioned for Jiraiya to sit down, and then said: "The slogan of the village is that the will of fire will live forever, but the fire in the village can only illuminate the civilian ninjas, and cannot illuminate the corners of the ninja clan and high-level officials."

"But if you want to transform these ninjas with the will of fire, it will inevitably cause their backlash."

"Relying solely on the strength of me and Kushina cannot deal with these backlashes. We can only rely on the teacher's prestige. This is a small request from the disciple. If the teacher is in trouble..."

Before Minato Namikaze could continue, Jiraiya said solemnly: "Minato, what you said makes sense. I fully support your decision. Just go ahead and do it."

"Then thank you Jiraiya-sensei..." Minato Namikaze expressed his heartfelt thanks.

However, what prompted Jiraiya to fully support Minato was not only because of Minato's status as a disciple, but also because of the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage.

According to the prophecy, someone will achieve peace in the ninja world, and now it seems that this person should be Minato.

Minato is powerful and practices the will of fire. He is the last person who may become the son of the prophecy. He really wants to see peace in the ninja world.

…

With Jiraiya's support, Namikaze Minato became more and more radical in his reforms.

At first, he attacked ordinary jounin and small families, but gradually evolved into attacking small and medium-sized families, solving many minor conflicts within the Konoha Ninja Village.

However, during the process of reform, there were three insurmountable families.

Uchiha, Hinata and Sarutobi clan.

Uchiha and Hinata are both wealthy clans that have been inherited for thousands of years. There are more than a dozen jounin in the clan, and their overall combat effectiveness is comparable to that of a small ninja clan. Although the Sarutobi clan has only one third generation in high-end combat power, the number of members is extremely large.

If these three ninja clans cannot be resolved, the reform will only fail midway.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to attend Hyuga Hizashi's son's full moon wine, Namikaze Minato met the Hyuga Ninja who failed to run for the head of the family, and expressed his idea of ​​meeting.

A few days later, Hinata Hizashi came to the Hokage's office for the reason of reporting official duties.

Looking at the Fourth Hokage who was wearing the robe of the god, Hinata Hizashi was a little cautious and a little uneasy. He said cautiously: "The Fourth Hokage, what do you want from me?"

"Your Majesty, you are very cute. You may become an outstanding jounin in the future..."

Namikaze Minato's words made Hinata Hizashi's heart skip a beat, and then he said: "Hokage-sama, are you dissatisfied with the Hyuga clan? You can go to Hiashi-sama, he is the head of the family."

Namikaze Minato said calmly: "I am very dissatisfied with the caged bird system!"

Hinata Hizashi said with some hesitation: "The caged bird is the tradition of the Hyuga clan. I'm afraid it's not easy for Hokage-sama to interfere, and the Byakugan also needs the caged bird to protect it."

"Of course I know how protected Hinata is by the caged bird..."

Namikaze Minato walked to Hinata Hizashi and said slowly: "The caged bird is necessary, but the caged bird system cannot exist. At least the Hyuga clan cannot have the distinction between clan and branch families."

"Both the main family and the branch family are both members of the village, but the main family openly discriminates against the branch family. This goes against the will of the fire of the first generation, and also goes against the wishes of the branch ninjas."

"What do you plan to do, Yondaime-sama?"

Hinata Hizashi was a little uneasy, but also a little excited.

As a younger brother, he really wanted to protect his elder brother who was the head of the family. However, after Hyuga Neji was born, his thoughts were shaken. He could become a branch of the family, but Neji could not become a branch of the family.

Moreover, it’s okay if my brother’s son is strong, but what if he is a waste?

Namikaze Minato said calmly: "I will secretly unite the branch families who are willing to resist the caged bird system. When the time is right, I will personally talk to Hinata Hizashi."

Hinata Hizashi was still hesitant: "But the caged bird can control the fate of the family division. What if they strongly resist?"

Namikaze Minato said disapprovingly: "The caged bird can control the life and death of the branch family. As the Hokage, can't I control their life and death? I will definitely change the caged bird system of the Hyuga clan."

"In a village illuminated by the will of fire, deformities such as clan families and branch families will never be allowed to exist."

Hinata almost nodded. Although he had many concerns in his heart, he believed some of the Fourth Hokage's words.

The fourth generation and the third generation are different. Most of the promises made by the third generation will not be fulfilled.

But the fourth generation actually took action against Danzo. Danzo's status was much higher than that of the head of the Hyuga clan, and his subordinates were by no means easy to mess with.

After Hinata Hizashi left the office, he happened to meet an Uchiha boy.

After the two sides looked at each other, the Uchiha boy walked into the Hokage's office, smiled and said to the Fourth Hokage: "The Fourth Hokage, Shisui has come to report."

The Fourth Hokage looked at the confused Uchiha Shisui and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Naturally, Shisui knew that Shisui's ancestor was Uchiha Kage, one of the members of the Second Generation Guards, but how did a gentle person like Shisui awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Moreover, even though he clearly possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, he chose to trust Danzo, causing the Mangekyō to be taken away.

However, these are not important. What is important is that Shisui is a loyal supporter of the Will of Fire. He is very suitable to become the ANBU team leader under his command, and is also very suitable to become the ninja he placed within Uchiha.

After thinking for a moment, the Fourth Hokage slowly said: "Shisui, I plan to appoint you as a member of the ANBU. Are you willing to work for me? I can help you solve the village's discrimination against Uchiha and help Uchiha move from the guard force restriction." Go out and become a normal family in the village."

Shisui raised his head and looked at the Fourth Hokage with shocked eyes.

He had long realized that the Guard was the source of conflicts between Uchiha and the villagers, but the tribesmen were immersed in the power of the Guard and gradually distanced themselves from the villagers.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Hokage also realized this.

At this time, the Fourth Hokage continued: "I have done a lot of homework during this period. I know that as the strength increases, the Sharingan will gradually affect the spirit. This is also the reason why the strong Uchiha are unstable."

"But this understanding is not enough. I need you to talk carefully about Uchiha by my side. Shisui-kun, are you willing to talk to me carefully?"

"Yes, Yondaime-sama!" Shisui nodded.
