Chapter 45: You're Old

"Tuanzang?" The tone of doubt showed surprise at the visitor, and while getting up, he covered up the copywriting he was watching just now with other copywriting, which was not a clever technique, but it was natural, at least it could coax ordinary people.

"Is there something wrong?" Facing the middle-aged man who was studying at the desk, as if relieved, he picked up the teapot on the table, went to the corner to pick up the hot water, and then poured it into the teacup, which became a dusk yellow tea with tea residues.

"You look more laid-back than I thought!" Sitting in the guest seat, his eyes retracted from the Hokage's seat without a trace, and his left hand, which was not bound by bandages, took the teacup handed over by the other party.

"Do I look that idle?" Although it was a tone that wanted to liven up the atmosphere, the two of them looked at each other without smiling.

"At least a little more idle than me! If you don't like to do some official business, why don't we swap jobs with each other? "The one-eyed gaze is sharper and more straightforward than any shinobi.

"You really like to joke! ••••••”

"I'm not kidding," the topic of wanting to perfunctory was forcibly brought up, and the smirk on his face instantly stiffened.

"Why haven't you given up after all these years?" Those eyes are plain but scrutinizing, and they are really unpleasant men as always!

"Nasty sight, just like your people!" Such a thought came out of his heart, and he blurted out that he didn't seem to know what would happen if he offended the most powerful man in Konoha Village in front of him.

The atmosphere of silence was disturbing.

"Just kidding!" Taking the initiative to retreat, the tea in his hand slightly stained the corners of his mouth, and his upper lip sensed the slightly hot temperature of the tea.

"I'm sorry, but I have some things to deal with next!"

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"Then it's not impossible to delay a little, after all, you are the only Hokage in the village! Ape Fly. ”

Whether he didn't hear the hint that he was leaving, or whether he deliberately ignored it.

"Yes, so, is there anything wrong with you?"

"You should know about the graduation assessment of this year's ninja school!" There is no temptation, and it goes straight to the center of the topic.

"What do you mean?"

"It's useless to hide, Ape Fei!"

"I'm talking about this graduation assessment, I heard that the overall pass rate of a certain class's graduation assessment is too low, and what is even more outrageous is that the pass rate of the second round of assessment is 100%!"

Maybe it's because he lost one eye, so he gave the other eye a greater gift, at least the glint in those eyes made everyone who looked at him feel like they were being easily seen, just like the three generations of Hokage at this moment!

"If you're talking about this, the specific thing, the middle ninja who participated in the assessment has already explained it to me."

"And what are your conclusions?" The playful smile is also easy to make people feel unhappy, and it's the norm between them to not get used to each other.

"My conclusion is to affirm what they do."

"Really?" In an unhurried time, he had finished the tea in the teacup, pushing it along the middle of the table to the Hokage who was facing him.

"Yes." The tea water hanging low and flowing quietly swirls in the teacup.

"Anything else?" When he pushed the tea back in front of the other party again, the other party had already stood up and walked slowly to the desk.

"Then this is the list that has been passed, right?" As if he had discovered something, he reached for some of the buried documents with one hand.

"I'll see." Saying this, the Hokage who saw his actions didn't say anything.

"Noda Okishi, Nojing Tsukili, Matsumoto Hirozuki, Mitarai?" Stacked in a small pile were the personal information of the passerby, and after flipping through three in succession, it seemed that he finally saw something that interested him a little.

"Mitarai family? It seems that he is very talented, but young people just have to work harder! Although he said it, his hand still turned it over quickly.

"Hinata Snow?"

"Of the Hyuga clan? Seems to be a separation? Is there thirty-two palms in the soft fist method? Although she is only a member of the family, she is also a little genius at her age! The eerie voice makes it impossible to feel that he is praising the fact that he is praising it.

"Rukawa? Rukawa winter night! "The last thing I saw was a photo of a winter night and a brief description of my personal information.

"Is the throwing a hundred and three?" He looked very carefully, more seriously than the two before him.

"Can the actual combat results only be considered average? Is it more time to focus on other things? Sure enough, there is a gap with the children of the family. He seemed to be talking to himself, but his hand didn't relax at the stack of papers.

"Ape Fei, give me this guy!" Suddenly turning his head, he directly put forward his request.

"You want him to join the roots?" The three generations of fire images are determining the true intention of the other party.

"The root system has never been directly selected from among the ninja school graduates! The lowest is also a middle ninja! While bringing up this fact, it also contains the meaning of secretly refusing.

"It's not that it's never been nothing, it's just very few." In this fact, as a direct manager, he has more power to speak, trying to restore the real truth.

"Even if there were, but those are real geniuses, why do you look at ordinary Liuchuan Winter Night!" He didn't try to continue dwelling on the previous question, but asked in a different way, staring sharply, trying to directly judge whether the other party was lying.

"Rukawa Winter Night is the survivor of that incident five years ago, don't tell me you don't know, or do you need me to remind you, he's going to be a restless guy!"

"This is not a reason for me to give up a child, a hope for the future of Konoha Village, Danzang, to believe in the will of fire for a child who grew up in this land!"

"Will of Fire? As the inheritor of the Will of Fire, you are just as crazy as the first and second generations, and the false peace has always existed, and it is clear that war is the way to solve everything! ••••••”

For twenty years, Tuanzang, who has entered middle age, still sticks to his ambitions, so he will still be the same Tuanzang, and he has never changed!

"Danzo!" The sudden burst of shouting interrupted Tuan Zang's excited and high-spirited speech, and for the first time, those eyes brought the same killing intent as substance!

"You're old, Ape Fly!"

"It's not just your body, it's your heart!"

Shaking his head, he looked at the stupid companion in front of him again, even after a lifetime of friendship, he didn't seem to have changed, he was a fool, and he seemed to be a fool, both of them were just fools!

Obviously, the two of them are also stupid, but he has changed after all, and he has aged first.

His heart was born from the initial hardness to the softness that should not be produced, and the reason why people became gods was because they gave up everything that was a "human", so when the Hokage gained emotion again, he was already old!

"Your thinking is as extreme as ever." As if he understood what Danzou meant from those eyes, he refuted it with this sentence.

"The rebellious fire will eventually sprout, standing in the same position, I will suffocate the flame in the sprout for the first time!"

"So I'm not you, and I can't be you!"

"Is that why?" The difference in one sentence, the different way of the same thing, made Tuan Zang himself shaken a little, and memories quietly emerged.

"What?"

"Is that why he chose you and gave up on me?" Quietly comprehending this sentence in his heart, Tuan Zang did not have the idea of speaking.

"Nothing!"

"Thank you for the tea!" After putting down the copy, he turned around and walked to the guest table, drank the tea, and then slowly disappeared outside the door.

Syllable!

The door is closed!

After Danzou had been gone for a long time, the three generations of Hokage adults sat back in the Hokage's seat unhurriedly, picked up the same stack of documents in their hands again, and flipped directly to the last piece of paper.

Quietly staring at the photo on the paper, his mind involuntarily recalled the battle he had seen through the crystal ball before.

Yes, compared to the results on paper, he believed more in what he saw, the figure who really managed to fight with Yamano Yin for three minutes without defeat.

"Is this protection? Mountain. His fingers tapped on the table through the assessment report card of the winter night, and the rhythmic and gentle impact was a frequent action he often had when he was thinking.

Boom!

The sound of a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I didn't make a cover-up move like before, and I said it directly.
