Chapter 41: My Parents Will be Unhappy If I Eat Too Much Dessert
Hokage's office.
"Be strict...?" Minato tapped the table when he heard Nagasawa's advice.
Nagasawa had already told Minato about his thoughts. He felt that Konoha should be more critical toward outsiders.
"It's not impossible. In fact, Third doesn't always compromise. He just wants peace in Konoha." Minato thought for a while and finally agreed with Nagasawa.
Compared to Nagasawa, Minato still thought highly of the Third Hokage.
In this era, who became a Hokage at Minato's age? He did not become Hokage because the Third Hokage died, but because he stepped down as a Hokage.
The Kage of each village, be it the small village or the big village, all held their position for as long as possible until they were close to death's door.
For your information, Sarutobi Hiruzen was actually still in his fifties this year. He could've lived for at least ten or twenty years more statistically speaking.
Just based on this point, Minato admired the Third Hokage very much as it required a lot of courage.
Although the Third Hokage did not fully relinquish all the rights to Minato, Minato thought it was understandable. After all, he was too young, and it was normal for the Third Hokage to be worried.
He believed that as long as he showed his capability as Hokage, the Third Hokage would naturally relinquish everything to him.
