Chapter 359: Master and Apprentice Reunited

Just as the three generations of Hokage were meditating, out of a compensatory psychological impact on the Naruto and Uchiha clans. In addition, I also know in my heart that if I missed this relocation proposal, if I want to completely gain the trust and loyalty of the Uchiha clan, I am afraid that it will not only be as simple as making it more difficult, but it will also make Naruto's matchmaking efforts for more than a year all useless! And then just made up my mind, signed and approved the moment of the proposal in hand. Outside the closed gate, there was a sound of hurried footsteps that were slightly panicked.

"Lord Fugaku? How did you get here...... Yes! Please wait, the three generations of Hokage-sama have an order in advance, and no one is allowed to trespass......"

"Get out of the way! I'm in a hurry, and I'm looking for the three generations of Hokage-sama! ”

"But...... Yes! You......! ”

"Bang ——!"

Without waiting for the three generations of Hokage to react, he didn't even have time to put down the document he had just signed in his hand. The door was pushed open by a violent push from an external force, accompanied by muffled loud noises and noisy arguments. In the next second, Uchiha Fugaku, who was the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, hurriedly walked in under the watchful eyes of the guard ninjas, with an indescribable strange expression, regardless of the etiquette of superiority and inferiority.

"Oh? It's Fugaku...... Are you looking for me in such a hurry, are your people starting to get emotional? ”

Although the office was forcibly broken into without authorization, it made the hearts of the three generations of Hokage more or less unhappy. But Ichilai has decided in his heart that he wants to repair and make up for the grievances and losses caused by the Uchiha clan over the years. Second, after getting along for such a long time, the three generations of Hokage understood that if the person in front of him was really in a hurry, he would not show such an expression, let alone even bother to say hello, so he forcibly broke into the Hokage's office. So much so that after a moment of stunnedness, the three generations Hokage waved his hand, signaling the guards to withdraw, and pulled the gate back to close. Driven by the troublesome picture that appeared in his mind, he raised his hand and raised his hand to the proposal that had just been signed in his hand, and even the ink had not yet dried.

"If that's the case, you don't have to worry...... Look, your Uchiha clan's relocation proposal, I've decided to ......"

However, in the expectation of the three generations of Hokage, Fugaku would show a picture of being satisfied because of the approval of the proposal in his hand, but he did not appear as he wished. On the contrary, under the unexpectedly stunned gaze of the three generations of Hokage, Fu Yue took a slight breath, and waved his hand directly, interrupting the words in the mouth of the three generations of Hokage!

"Whew...... Call...... That...... That kind of little thing, let's put it aside for the time being......"

As if he had just experienced a fierce exercise, and as if he had been frightened by something, Fu Yue seemed a little out of breath between the words that he couldn't care about the honorific title. Then he slapped his chest and took a few deep breaths before he continued to speak with a strange expression under the curious and suspicious gaze of the three generations of Hokage.

"I bet you, Miyome Hokage-sama, you would never have imagined what I saw today......"

"A trifle? The outcome of the relocation proposal that you Uchiha have been waiting for for so long can be called trivial...... It seems that the stimulation you have received is really not light, Fuyue. ”

Although from Fu Yue's expression, he had already made some psychological preparations. But when he actually heard Fugaku's conversation, he defined the relocation proposal of the Uchiha clan as a "trivial matter", which made the three generations of Hokage still inevitably taken aback. Immediately put down the Chinese piece in his hand with a smile, pointed to the chair in front of the desk and motioned for the person to sit down first. Because of his own curiosity, he was completely aroused by Fu Yue's words, and raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't wait to continue to ask.

"Sit, you sit down first, and talk slowly if you have something...... What are you seeing that can make you so out of shape? Could it be, Naruto's kid again, brought us some unexpected surprise, right? ”

Obviously, ginger is still old and spicy......

Just relying on his own understanding of Fugaku, it was enough for the three generations of Hokage to judge from Fugaku's words and undisguised complex expression that the event that could make Fugaku lose his temper like this must be related to Naruto, who had been away from the village for a while...... It's just that it was precisely because of the lightning and flint of the three generations of Hokage that they quickly guessed that the "culprit" of the incident that caused Fugaku Shang to break into the Hokage's office, which had a rather bad impact, was Naruto. On the contrary, it made the curiosity of the three generations of Hokage rise instead of falling!

After all, in their hearts, Naruto's style of not playing according to the routine has long been a well-known fact. So much so that even if the key candidate was guessed, the three generations of Hokage still couldn't imagine what kind of surprise this unexpected No.1 little guy had brought, so that Fuyue, who was usually moody, could be scared like this!

As for why the third generation Hokage can be so sure, the news that Fugaku is about to bring belongs to the category of surprises, not the cause of bad news, but it is also very simple...... Because, if Fuyue hurriedly came to report the content, it would belong to the category of bad news. I'm afraid that Fu Yue won't deliberately say only half of his words to hang his appetite for this old man who has a lot of opportunities, right?

And Fugaku's subsequent response also confirmed the conjecture of the three generations of Hokage, which was exactly the same.

"Hehe, it's worthy of the third generation of Hokage-sama, it's really a guess!"

Seeing that the three generations of Hokage opened his mouth to ask, Fugaku did not continue to delay without interest. And after a little slap of the three generations of Hokage's ass, he pulled over the chair and sat down directly with a big grin. The corners of his mouth went up, and he continued simply and clearly.

"Just now, Naruto and his group have returned safe and sound."

"Naruto, has that kid returned to the village safely...... Call...... That's great......"

After getting a definite answer from Fugaku's mouth, the boulder that had been hanging from Naruto finally landed steadily in the heart of the three generations of Hokage, who had confirmed Naruto's restless little guy and sneaked out of the village again. Immediately, his heart suddenly relaxed, and the puzzled look on his face did not dissolve, but he looked up and down, and continued to speak with a smile.

"However, if it's just to this extent, it shouldn't make you, the captain of the garrison, show such a panicked look, right?"

It's not that the matter of Naruto's safe return is not very important in the eyes of the three generations of Hokage...... Rather, according to what the three generations of Hokage knew about Fugaku, if it was just Naruto returning to the village, maybe Fugaku would indeed be pleasantly surprised. But Naruto's shadow clone, who was placed in a secret contact point, had already received the memory update of the main body, and reported peace to the three generations of Hokage and others. So that Fu Yue, who was already mentally prepared, was absolutely as happy as now, and he couldn't care about the bad effects that his behavior might cause, so he went straight into his office!

"Let me guess...... Well...... Before that, Naruto had said that he had met Orochimaru......"

Thinking of this, the three generations of Hokage raised his hand and stroked his mustache before Fugaku could continue to speak, and pondered thoughtfully. Then, with a little expectation, he continued, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"Could it be, this little guy who is constantly surprising has successfully persuaded Orochimaru, who is not angry, and brought him back to the village, right?"

Just as Naruto had guessed in advance, Orochimaru, who seemed to have defected from the village, was already in a state of indifference, but for this disciple who was brought up by himself and existed almost like half a son, he still couldn't give up completely. So much so that in the past year or so when I think of Naruto, because of Naruto's direct or indirect involvement, he has repeatedly created several changes that seemed miraculous and absolutely impossible to achieve before the three generations of Hokage. The hope that had been silent in the hearts of the three generations of Hokage for a long time suddenly resurfaced like a resurrection, and a wisp of fire floated again.

"Will you convince Orochimaru and bring him back to the village...... Well, it's not that exaggerated......"

Facing the slightly hopeful gaze of the three generations of Hokage, Fu Yue couldn't bear to tell the real picture he saw to the thin old man with his body in front of him for a while. Then he paused slightly, and quietly changed the straightforward words that came to his lips. In this as tactful way as possible, he continued to respond to the inquiries of the three generations of Hokage.

"However, the surprise that Naruto brought back is indeed related to the Konoha Sanninja in our village, who used to be powerful in all directions~"

"Yes...... Is it...... I see......"

At the same time, at the moment when Fugaku's words were just spoken, the three generations of Hokage knew from Fugaku's hesitant gaze that his guess was just a wrong choice that seemed a little too good. And because of the fire of hope in his heart, which was finally rekindled, was once again poured with a bucket of cold water, like a frosted eggplant, he muttered with interest.

"It's related to the three ninjas...... Ahh......h It's probably that Naruto's kid dragged Jiraiya's stinky boy back to the village when he came back. ”

"Hmm...... Not exactly, it's half right......"

Seeing the deflated appearance of the three generations of Hokage's interest plummeting instantly, Fu Yue was slightly stunned, and in the eyes of the three generations of Hokage, a slight smile with a hint of ridicule involuntarily appeared. Immediately, while holding his arms in his hands, he responded to the three generations of Hokage seriously, and turned his head slightly to look at the office door that had been closed under the actions of the ninja guarding the door.

"As for the remaining half...... Maybe it's better for them to explain it to you themselves......"

"That's only half right...... Explain it yourself...... What does that mean? ”

Hearing Fuyue's words of deliberately playing dumb riddles, the three generations of Hokage, who were lacking in interest, finally restrained his complex emotions a little. And while trying to regain his energy as much as possible, he subconsciously followed the direction of Fuyue's gaze and looked at the tightly closed office door.

It was at this time that it was as if the sixth sense of the three generations of Hokage sensed something in the dark. As soon as the eyes of the three generations of Hokage were condensed and stared at the gate, a complex emotion appeared in his heart for no reason.

Nervous, anticipating, familiar...... This feeling of uneasiness is like a treasure that has not been seen for many years is about to be regained. Let the three generations of Hokage inexplicably, their spirits suddenly perked up.

"Don't forget, Miyome Hokage-sama, I told you a long time ago that this time, it was Naruto and 'them' who came back together...... As for what it means...... Hey, you'll find out later! ”

Seeing that his verbal stimulation had achieved the expected results, the smile in Fu Yue's eyes became more and more vigorous. Then, as if pointed, the tone of the word "they" was deliberately accentuated. He shouted loudly with a smile in the direction of the office door where there was no movement.

"Hey! Naruto! Pretty much eavesdropping, right? Why don't you come in yet? ”

Obviously, the reason why the guards who had not finished their words before were so stunned that they didn't have time to intercept Fugaku's movements was that the "you......" in the guards' mouths actually meant "you" representing Naruto and his party. And from the moment Fuyue entered the door, Naruto and his party, who were silently waiting outside the door, had already heard the content of the conversation between Fuyue and the three generations of Hokage.

"Squeak......

Because of this, along with the door being pushed by external forces, there is a slight thought. A group of people led by Jiraiya rushed in under the puzzled gaze of the three generations of Hokage. Immediately, without waiting for the three generations of Hokage to react, Jiraiya's pretended tease and teasing words quickly entered the ears of the three generations of Hokage with Jiraiya's unique accent.

"Hey, I said teacher, you're biased...... Anyway, Orochimaru and I are both your students. Why does it sound like I'm disappointing you when I returned to the village? ”

said aggrievedly, but the look on Jiraiya's face was like a child who got the candy he wanted, full of triumphant smiles. And without waiting for the three generations of Hokage to refute and defend something, he changed his words and teased and ridiculed himself.

"But aren't you admitting it in disguise...... You still care about that guy from Orochimaru, right? Uh-huh? ”

"I ...... Will I care about Orochimaru? That stinky boy who doesn't fight for it? Stop dreaming! ”

In the face of the teasing words that pierced the heart and were obviously premeditated, even the three generations of Hokage, who had experienced a hundred battles, couldn't help but blush slightly. Then he rolled his eyes and responded angrily, trying to justify and cover up. When the words came to his mouth, he saw a familiar and long-lost pretty figure standing next to Naruto who was snickering silently, and he died in his throat.

"He's that bastard boy, he didn't me off to death, even if it's good, how can I go to lock it up...... You...... You are......?! ”

Because, standing in front of him at this moment, in addition to Jiraiya and Naruto, no matter what he thinks, he can't think of the third person - the only female ninja among the three ninjas of Konoha is also the first to leave the village and his whereabouts are unknown, Senju Tsunade!

"Ahem, that ...... Long time no see, teacher...... I am back. ”

It was at this time that the three generations of Hokage fully understood......

What is the meaning of what Fuyue said before, which is related to Konoha Sannin, and the uneasy premonition that inexplicably appeared in his heart......
