Chapter 36: Bombs and Tranquility
Since there is no way to defuse the bomb under the pillow for the time being, and the yield of the bomb is so frightened that I can't sleep peacefully, it is better to put the pillow and quilt back on, and then try to forget about it.
Although the bomb will explode at any time, blowing up his bones to the ground, but after such a long time, no matter how he tossed before, didn't the bomb still not explode?
Maybe it's a dud.
Sarutobi's once sharp eyes had seeped into too many other emotions, his smooth forehead was also full of wrinkles, and on his body, the only neck that was once full of strength that was exposed under the Hokage's suit, the skin had become imperceptibly loose.
After the age of 50, a man will age very quickly, although Ape Fei is not yet 50 years old, but 48 years of time have left a deep mark on him.
The only thing that will never change may be the insistence on "everything for the village" in my heart.
Taking a puff on his cigarette, Ape Fei paused and glanced around.
Everyone seemed to understand what he meant, except for Orochimaru, who had a weird smile on his face, and White Fang, who had a serious expression, and everyone who was afraid of this bomb that could shake the ninja world showed a look of relief.
He took the cigarette holder out of his mouth, took a puff of smoke, and said nonchalantly as he stuffed the pipe with tobacco:
"So, in my opinion, Shuo Mao has recently taken on a few more missions, and in addition to doubling the deposit for the Daimyo's mission according to the regulations, the village has organized a series of missions for the rain and wind - well, this is still led by Shuo Mao."
"As for the envoy of the Daimyo," gently pressed the cigarette evenly, and a trace of flame suddenly appeared from the tip of Sarufei's fingertips, igniting the tobacco: "We only need to report the facts to the Daimyo, the current Daimyo is wise and martial, known as virtuous, and will definitely give us justice." ”
As he spoke, Ape Fei knocked his pipe on the table, loosening the tobacco leaves and soot and burning more fully, and then he looked up and summed up his words:
"I said, just talk about things, don't make a big fuss, since it's a task problem, we just need to solve it from the task."
Orochimaru took an unexpected step forward, and said, "I agree, it is worthy of Teacher Ape Fei, if this matter is done in this way, it can indeed be solved very well." ”
Although there was an inexplicable smile in his words, Orochimaru stood firmly on Sarutobi's side.
Jiraiya, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly took a step to the right at this time and said loudly:
"I also agree with Mr. Sarufei."
Tsunade did not move: "Seconded." ”
"Seconded." Hyuga patriarch.
"Seconded."
……
The ninjas present expressed their approval of Ape Fei's handling opinions one by one, and seconded the voices one after another, but after all, there were only a few dozen or so people, and after expressing their opinions neatly, everyone quieted down in unison.
Their eyes were fixed on the white fangs in the room.
And this man, in the bag faintly formed by the three of Ape Fei, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, looked indifferent and did not say a word.
Not allowing this dangerous silence to last long, Danzo spoke:
"Since everyone has agreed to this arrangement, the old man is not talented, and he is willing to be the person in charge and coordinate the entire affairs in the middle."
While major matters affecting the entire village can be decided by the higher-ups, the choice of the executor is the power of the Hokage and his advisors.
Everyone was silent, Ape Fei thought for a while, and simply decided: "Okay, let's just decide, dismiss the meeting, Shuo Mao, you stay for a while, everyone else leaves, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, you two too, go do your own things immediately, don't dangle in front of my eyes all day!" ”
All the ninjas made a promise, and almost at the moment when Sarutobi's words fell, the venue was empty.
Orochimaru bowed slowly, and his voice dragged on for a long time: "Yes, Ape, Fei, Lao, Shi." ”
His snake-like sticky gaze, but with regret or other emotions, always wrapped around the back of the white fangs.
Jiraiya disappeared with Tsunade, and it seemed that he was heading towards Konoha Hospital, Orochimaru disappeared, and the three of them tacitly did not hide their tracks, and in the induction of the white fangs, three torch-like strong breaths quickly left the range of the Hokage's office.
Ape Fei seemed a little tired, he grabbed the pipe with his left hand, raised his right hand, and gently rubbed his eyebrows:
"Shuomao, come on, it's not convenient to talk here."
In the empty conference room, only Ape Fei on the stage remained, Tuan Zang, Menyan, Xiaochun and Bai Ya behind him, the two groups of people faintly confronted each other, Ape Fei turned around, lifted the curtain, and entered a small conference room next to him first.
The curtain is clamped by a clamp on the door, and in the small meeting room, a coffee table, comfortable and spacious sofas surround it, and cabinets in the same tone.
White Fang slowly adjusted the state of his body, and when his body touched the soft cushion of the sofa, the tense muscles had been well relaxed.
In the ninja world, Ape Flying Sun Slash, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, these are three names that can make people have to pay full attention just by hearing them.
Fortunately, there was no shameful sweating, White Fang thought to himself.
Menyan, who has a good tea ceremony, has already taken out a set of exquisite tea sets from the cupboard, and soon, in the smell of comfortable boiling water, a faint fragrance slowly diffuses.
Ape Fei didn't seem to be in a hurry to speak, just smoked a cigarette.
Nodding his head in thanks to Menyan, who poured the tea for himself, the five of them silently watched as the cyan tea stalk floated a few times in the clear water, suspended without moving.
Ah, stand up.
There was such an impression in his mind, but White Fang didn't think about anything.
"Shuo Shige, Kakashi has already passed the Shinobu exam, right?" Ape Fei spoke, as if chattering.
"Well, it's still a certificate issued by Lord Menyan himself for his promotion to Zhongnin."
"Heh, 6-year-old middle ninja, this kind of thing, in today's ninja world, rarely happens......" Ape Fei said in an admiring tone, paused, and asked his old friends left and right: "The last time we heard of this kind of genius, it was in the Warring States Period, right?" ”
Danzou didn't have any expression, he said with confidence: "The eldest son of the Tokugawa family, however, the surname Tokugawa has disappeared from the ninja world for a long time. ”
"Yes," agreeing with Tuan Zang's words, Sarufei stared at White Fang's eyes tightly: "We, the elderly, and our ancestors before us, have struggled for a long time to make the ninja world what it is now, and it's really ashamed to say it...... However, a young shoot like Kakashi can already grow with peace of mind, and when I think about it, I am actually a little relieved. ”
