Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 17

Hokage vs. Hokage? This Is Not a Live Broadcast!?

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in his office, his expression darkening as he listened to the angry shouting outside.

"There's no avoiding this, after all…"

With a heavy sigh, Hiruzen stood up, knowing he had no choice but to face Namikaze Minato.

As he stepped outside, he barely had time to react before a powerful Wind Style: Gale Palm attack surged toward him. He leaped back just in time, his aged body feeling the strain.

"Minato, listen to me! It's not what you think!" Hiruzen tried to explain.

But Minato, his face twisted with fury, showed no intention of listening.

"Explain? Explain what, Hiruzen!?" Minato's voice was sharp with betrayal. "I gave my life to protect Konoha, and this is how you treat my son? Is this what you call the Will of Fire?"

Hiruzen flinched at Minato's words.

"When I was alive, I trusted you! I believed you would protect Naruto! But you—" Minato's voice trembled with rage. "You let him suffer. You let the village scorn him. Sarutobi Hiruzen, I was blind to trust you!"

Minato's blue eyes burned with cold determination as he reached up, unclasped his forehead protector, and slashed a line across it with his kunai before throwing it to the ground.

"There's nothing more to say. Either you die today, or I do!"

At the same time, on the outskirts of the Hokage building, a mysterious figure, Kaito, observed the escalating battle with amusement.

"Well, well… this is quite the spectacle." A smirk played on Kaito's lips. "Wouldn't it be a waste if the whole world didn't get to see this?"

With a casual motion, Kaito activated the Ninja World Q&A Chat Group, preparing to broadcast the battle live.

Suddenly, Kaito seemed to have thought of something and immediately halted his actions.

"System, can you conceal my existence and broadcast only the overall scene?"

Silence followed, and everyone's attention shifted to the ongoing battle.

[Senju Tobirama]: Oh? Minato just used the Flying Thunder God Technique, didn't he?

[Third Raikage]: Yes, Namikaze Minato became known as the "Golden Flash" during the Third Great Ninja War because of his mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique. But wait… how does the Second Hokage know this technique?

[Senju Tobirama]: Self-created Flying Thunder God Technique??? When did that happen?

[Uchiha Izuna]: Hahahaha! So Minato didn't actually create it? Tobirama, your technique isn't even your own anymore—it's being credited to Namikaze Minato!

[Third Raikage]: What's going on? Wasn't this technique invented by Namikaze Minato?

[Senju Tobirama]: Hmph! Of course not! I was the one who invented the Flying Thunder God Technique! Since when was it considered Minato's original creation? Who spread such misinformation?

[Third Raikage]: Uh… now that I think about it, that does make sense…

[Fifth Mizukage – Terumi Mei]: Wait, what?! The Flying Thunder God Technique wasn't Minato's creation?

[Third Tsuchikage – Ōnoki]: What?! The Flying Thunder God Technique wasn't Minato's creation?!

[Fourth Kazekage – Rasa]: What? The Flying Thunder God Technique wasn't created by Namikaze Minato?

[Fourth Raikage – A]: What? The Flying Thunder God Technique wasn't created by Namikaze Minato?

[Senju Hashirama]: What? The Flying Thunder God Technique wasn't created by Namikaze Minato?

[Senju Tobirama]: Big Brother!!!

[Senju Hashirama]: Cough! Sorry, but human nature is just repeating things!

[Konoha Salted Fish]: I laughed so hard! I thought you were serious, but you're just a bunch of repeaters!

Meanwhile, outside, the battle between Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen has reached its climax!
