When they were bored, they ran over to eat ramen together at Naruto's instigation.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a particularly good mood when he saw the ramen shop that was so busy that it gave people a headache.
The hope of the new generation.
Of course, before leaving, he said a belated apology to Naruto, which shocked Xiao Huangmao.
"That person is in disguise, and his strength... is very strong."
Sasuke's face looked a little solemn.
It is really not easy for him to say that he is very strong now.
Shikamaru, on the other hand, lazily said not to mind his own business.
"During the war preparations, I can also have Asuma Jounin accompany me. The orders are definitely issued from the Hokage Tower."
"Judging from his attitude, this person's identity is definitely not simple, but he is trustworthy."
"So, have a good meal."
Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief after suppressing his friend's curiosity.
That strange old man treated Asuma like a son, it was so scary.
The scary father and son finally walked up to the Hokage Tower.
Looking at the gallows erected high in the small square, the old man's mood was extremely complicated.
"Danzo is... here..."
"Yes."
He looked at the renovated Hokage Building again.
"Why does it feel shorter? And the material is relatively ordinary."
When it comes to understanding the Hokage Tower, no one is more familiar with it than this old man.
"The renovation was in a hurry. It was the most chaotic period at that time, so Kakashi just had someone copy it casually."
"When the war was completely over, I felt that it was just an office location and there was no need to show any dignity, so I didn't reinstall it."
Moreover, the Hokage Tower used to have a function of sealing mission files, personnel files, sealed books and other top-secret information.
The current Hokage Tower has stripped away these functions, and top-secret information is placed in the holy space.
After all, back then, the Sealed Book was just like the toilet paper in the toilet. Anyone could tear it out twice. The so-called confidentiality measures only protected ordinary village ninjas.
Genbu, Black Zetsu, and Noah all have their own ways of reading.
The advantage of placing it in the Holy Land is that the psychic beast can become the first guard, and the leaders of the Three Holy Lands are all at the Shadow level.
The power of nature's perception and detection ability is also stronger than that of ordinary ninjas.
What's more important is that even special life forms like Black Zetsu can't be found in the different space, so the safety factor is several levels higher.
If the Holy Land cannot be defended, Konoha can also choose to put the information on the moon.
But it is very inconvenient to use it that way.
At this time, the Hokage Building was just an office location and a place for receiving tasks.
For Sarutobi Hiruzen, most of the memories in his life are related to this small building. Now even this place has changed. There is really nothing to remember.
Go to the last place again.
"Let's go to the Memorial Monument."
The large and small tombstones and familiar names in front of him made the Third Hokage feel extremely painful. He apologized and bowed one by one, enduring the heart-gnawing pain.
He can remember every ninja here.
The Third Hokage's saddest time was when he confirmed the list of dead.
"If only I had accepted the will of the new fire earlier..."
When he saw Hatake Sakumo, Shinobu finally let his tears fall.
When sacrificing the ninjas of the village, he still had the will to light the fire to cover up, but only Sakumo had truly unconcealed malice.
Do you regret it? Yes, I do.
"sorry."
This was the apology Kakashi wanted to hear but didn't hear.
In this quiet cemetery, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke to his son seriously.
"Asuma, you did really well."
"A ninja who has not been influenced by me since childhood and has pursued his own path seriously... is very handsome... that's what young people say."
"You have to be careful when assisting Kakashi. No matter how talented you are, there are still some oversights. Konoha is not the Hokage's alone."
"Remember, you must protect your village and family in the future."
"Don't always hit your children when educating them in the future, but respect their opinions."
"besides……"
After chattering for a long time, he disappeared from the place in a free and easy instant.
A middle-aged man with a beard was left crying like a child.
Asma knew that her father would never come back.
On the Shadow Rock, Hiruzen Sarutobi returned again.
"Let's go to the Kingdom of Iron."
Chapter 165 War is inevitable
Right in the Land of Iron.
A meeting that attracted the attention of everyone in the ninja world officially began.
Terumi Mei, the Fifth Mizukage, began to tell the story of how the Fourth Mizukage colluded with foreign forces and led Kirigakure on the road of no return with Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The power of words is not enough, so...
“Bubbles, Chojuro.
Take out the evidence found in the village and show it to several people. "
There are letters, data records, and a wealth of other evidence and confessions.
It even includes issues from the Third Generation Mizukage period. As early as the end of the Third Generation, Kirigakure was already in crisis being led by the enemy.
This woman tore off the faces of the previous two Mizukages, threw them on the ground, and stomped on them. She was so cruel that she didn't want anything she didn't want.
All the perfect evidence points to the fact that the mastermind behind the scenes has little connection with Kirigakure, and Kirigakure is actually a victim.
The words vaguely pointed to what the Third Hokage of Konoha had done as the most heinous crime, and even the death of the Fire Country Daimyo was mainly responsible.
Ohnoki had to admire this little girl's skill.
The evidence was produced in less than a week.
Even when it was circulated among several images, no flaws could be seen for a moment, it was exactly the same as the real thing.
Of course it is true. This is all kinds of evidence left by Sarutobi Hiruzen himself. Every piece of information is extremely detailed and can withstand inspection.
Kakashi just rolled his eyes and threw it back.
"Regarding the fact that the Fourth Mizukage Yagura became an accomplice of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kirigakure Village is willing to provide certain compensation.
Even I, as the Fifth Mizukage, would like to personally express my deepest apology to the next Fire Nation Daimyo. "
I put my body very low and looked like you want me to do what you want, which is really difficult to deal with.
But Kakashi is still very cold.
“Someone must be held responsible for the death of the daimyo, otherwise the country cannot be held accountable.
I only saw the Fourth Mizukage Yagura assassinating the Daimyo without any genjutsu control.
You can't just say that after the Shadow of a Village kills the Daimyo and it has nothing to do with the village, you can really put aside the relationship.
If he wasn't the Mizukage, why would he come to Konoha? Why do you have a chance to get close to a famous person?
A few years ago, wasn't Kirigakure still saying that Yagura was the most successful Mizukage in history? I don’t recognize it again today.
Just ridiculous.
Besides, we were still in the Kingdom of Iron, by the lake.
This was not the attitude when Hiruzen Sarutobi questioned the Akatsuki organization on behalf of your Eastern Three Kingdoms.
Those questions fully represent the will of your three shadows.
Show me how to trust you. "
The memory of the past jumped out and punched Onoki and others.
Now think about it, the bad guy Sarutobi Hiruzen was really good at disguise.
Of course, they were not good birds, so they got together and fought a very stupid war and lost.
Onoki could see that the key point of this Hokage's current situation was not at all how good his relationship with the daimyo was.
Mizukage's move was very subtle, involving Sarutobi Hiruzen, the former third generation Hokage.
Everyone knows that the relationship between the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Hokage was very tense because of Kakashi's rise to power.
Now Chun Chun just wants to shirk the blame. Is there something wrong within the Country of Fire?
It's probably not a good thing for a current Hokage.
Moreover, there is something wrong with Kakashi's attitude. His persistence in war has gone against the will of fire promoted by Konoha.
Onoki's little head began to spin crazily.
war……!!!
I understand! ! !
There are indeed some things that can only divert domestic conflicts through war.
I think Konoha Village is the same as other villages. The hidden dangers inside are so serious that they can no longer be covered up.
The disadvantages of rapid development are becoming apparent.
The open and covert struggles between the old nobility and the wealthy businessmen were no longer concealed, and bloody assassinations occurred from time to time.
The instinctive expansion of the new class is devouring land, rights, and distribution rights.
The confrontation between the common people and the nobles has reached a point where blood is about to come out, and they are striving for their own interests under the instigation of capital merchants.
What's more, they continue to reveal the meaning of the existence of the big names and minor names to ordinary people, constructing the so-called sacredness.
Even the conflicts between the daimyo and the nobles could no longer be alleviated.
I don’t know why, but there are so many conflicts, but the daimyo never comes out to mediate.
A master who is unable to secure benefits for the nobility, unable to reconcile domestic conflicts, and greedily takes away most of the means of production is about to be abandoned by his own class.
Many domestic conflicts will eventually involve the special group of ninjas.
Guarding, assassination, and investigation are the most common tasks that ninjas take on.
Hidden Village, a military institution, is also at the center of the storm.
Ohnoki and others also had a difficult time dealing with it, and the benefits were heart-warming.
Therefore, a complete war is what all five countries want to fight.
The only point of dispute is over time. One side wants to delay the process, while the other side wants to proceed immediately.
Ohnoki's wisdom pearl that can peek into the Hokage's mind is in hand.
After glancing around, a sense of intellectual superiority emerges.
The Mizukage just stared at Yagura's affairs and kept nagging. The Raikage was like a fool and just wanted to fight to the death with the Hokage. The Kazekage probably didn't understand anything.
