Chapter 4: The Fourth Generation

Jumping down from the halfway up the mountain, the wind brushing his ears, Makoto subconsciously glanced back.

Not far away is the Hokage Rock, the location of the laboratory owned by the village and carrying out research work under the auspices of Orochimaru, which is already the core defense circle of Konoha .

Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry are naturally exaggerated, but Makoto can find a few hidden ninjas just by sensing them at will.

Orochimaru actually said that he wanted to join the association, I don't know if it was just to test my reaction, or if it had another purpose?

Cheng was embarrassed to think that no matter what, I had to inform the meeting early so that they could be prepared.

The trench coat was puffed up by the air current, and Makoto fell to the ground as quickly as a red bat, and then bounced up and turned into a shadow, heading towards the Ninja Revolution.

Looking at it from afar, Sarutobi, who was wearing a Hokage cloak and carrying a large hat, raised the pipe in his hand, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke.

Following his gaze, Koharu only saw the back of a young man, but this person's name has always appeared in the past two days, so she can recognize it: "Hmph, Uchiha ......"

Ape Fei finished exhaling his cigarette and sighed unconsciously through the gray glass.

Uchiha, the village has a mouth ulcer for many years, and the trouble in his heart, he has been in power for many years, and he has been planning for many years, but he has fallen short in the end. Although there are still factions close to the village within the Uchiha family, a clan that is close to the Hokage and a patriarch who has a good cooperative relationship with the village cannot be said to be the same in name or weight.

There were two people who reacted beyond Sarufei's expectations, the first was the Uchiha Lion, and his reaction to the Sharingan incident was so fierce and decisive that it really caught Sarufei off guard. The second is this Uchiha Makoto, the news that Sarufei got from some channels, hibernate for two years, and once he made a move, he was ruthless, this young man who was less than 20 years old, was cruel and cruel, so that Sarufei felt a little bitter when he heard it.

"Old man, Orochimaru...... I think I've done what you said, right? "Jiraiya naturally saw this scene, as a disciple of the Hokage, this white-haired man doesn't often appear here, and the few rare times are all major events.

"Hmm." Sarutobi was noncommittal, turned from the front of the window, and motioned for Koharu and Jiraiya, who were in front of him, to sit down.

"Zilai, you have to think clearly, the founder of the Ninja Revolution Association, Bo Feng Shuimen is your disciple, and it should also be your responsibility to guide them on the right track." It seems that he has been talking for a while, and he sat down, turned his head to face this Jiraiya, and persuaded him bitterly.

"Granny Koharu, I understand." The expression on Jiraiya's face was very complicated, but there was no lack of firmness and composure, and he nodded slightly and responded.

"Jiraiya, you can wait here for a while." Ape Fei took another puff on his cigarette and picked up the document in front of him to read it.

The three of them fell silent, and the room was filled with only the shadows of the sunlight on the ground.

Soon, Bang Bang.

There was a subtle and measured knock on the door, and there was a gap of three breaths between the knocks.

"Orochimaru, come in." Ape Fei stopped the pen in his hand, put the unfinished document back aside, straightened up, and reached out to rub the back of his neck.

"Teacher Ape Fei, you have to pay more attention to your body, there are some things, just leave them to the assistants." Coming in was Orochimaru who had changed into a white coat, and he glanced at Sarufei behind the table, and his tone did not show deliberate concern, but instead revealed a light but sincere feeling in this casualness.

Ape Fei's heart warmed, this apprentice, although he has an indifferent personality, is not a ruthless person.

After saying a word, Orochimaru's eyes turned to the two people sitting on the sofa, and he saluted slightly: "Lord Koharu." ”

Koharu said "um" and said yes, but compared to his attitude towards Jiraiya, he was a little cold.

Orochimaru didn't care about her attitude at all, his eyes turned again, he glanced at Jiraiya, and nodded slightly to say hello.

"Hey," Jiraiya didn't see the solemn look he had a moment ago, and he grinned at Orochimaru and said, "I said, Orochimaru, isn't it too much to treat your friends since childhood?" ”

Orochimaru had already stood still in front of Ape Fei, didn't even look at him and said, "If you treat you too much." ”

"I said you...... It's been a long time since you've been fighting, and you'd love to taste my fists, right? Zilai also lowered his voice and gritted his teeth a little.

"Jiraiya." Ape Fei had a headache and spoke out to stop Jiraiya from continuing to provoke.

Zilai also sighed, and a serpent-like sentence sounded subtly but clearly: "Idiot." ”

"Orochimaru!" Ape Fei was helpless and raised his voice.

Both of them fell silent.

It's just that the corners of the two of them have a smile on their mouths, Jiraiya's smile is generous and hearty, and Orochimaru's smile is subtle but it does exist.

"You two...... Ape Fei laughed unconsciously, although he immediately straightened his face, his tone was not serious anyway.

Both are 35 years old.

35-year-old people, no matter how naïve they are, will not be so naïve as children to express their concern for each other awkwardly by bickering. What's more, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who are already "three ninjas".

It's just that although the bond between the two is not fake, after all, it is no longer the time to stay together all day when they were young, quarrel with each other, help each other, and even fight. After the end of World War II, everyone had their own things, and they often traveled outside the village, and Orochimaru also spent all day in the laboratory, although the relationship did not change, it inevitably became weaker.

Today, there is an incident that makes the two people standing in front of the teacher Ape Fei tacitly recall the past.

That's something that all the Konoha boys have argued about.

"Orochimaru, just wait and see, I will definitely be the Hokage to impress you." Arrogant, white-haired boy with oil paint painted on his face.

"Idiot-Hokage, it's not for people like you to be." The emaciated boy who smiled contemptuously and his eyes sparkled in response.

Time flies, and today, the two ninjas who have grown into the top of the entire ninja world stand together in front of the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, and listen to him say in a slightly hoarse voice: "I called you here today to discuss with you, the matter of the fourth generation." ”

Only, he was answered by a moment of silence.
