The third generation of Hokage Ape Tobi slashed at the Uchiha Shisui below, and his mood was a little complicated.

A year ago, Uchiha Shisui was still a pawn he focused on cultivating, and it was also one of his hole cards against the Uchiha clan.

At that time, Uchiha Shisui was still a sunny and cheerful teenager, pure like the transparent river water, and he could see the bottom at a glance.

Who would have thought that a year later, he would become what he is now.

Today's Uchiha Shisui, his face is as hard and cold as if he is half marble, and there is no trace of a smile in sight. A majesty from the inside out made him not fall behind in the face of the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun.

This is not the first time Uchiha Shisui has come to the Hokage's office since he became the patriarch, but every time he sees him again, Sarutobi Hizashi will evaluate him by one point higher.

"It's a shame。。。。。。"

This time, Ape Fei Sun Slash is really sorry.

Looking at the Uchiha Shisui in front of him, the dissatisfaction with Danzang in his heart increased a little.

Although there is no evidence, he knows very well that the death of Uchiha Shisui's father is most likely the work of Danzang. In vain, he buried a good move that he had been planning for a long time.

Thinking of this, his mood suddenly turned bad.

"I've invited you here this time for next year's Konoha Police Force budget."

Ape Fei Ri said slowly. As he spoke, he paid attention to the reaction of the Uchiha to stop the water,

"Since Konoha's income will be greatly reduced next year, many departments will have to cut their budgets to ensure that the village balances its finances. Of course, this also includes the Konoha Police Force. ”

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The Uchiha replied in a deep voice.

"I firmly oppose this decision, but the rest of the elders insist on it again and again, and I am helpless. Even though I'm the Hokage, I still have to respect the opinions of the other three elders, and I ask for your understanding and the members of the Konoha Police Force. ”

"You're serious, Hokage-sama."

"Next year, the budget of the Konoha Police Force will be cut by 40%. This is the final decision of the Council of Elders. ”

There was guilt on the cheeks of the ape flying sun, and there was guilt in his voice,

"It's hard work for you and the members of the Konoha Police Force."

In order to avoid causing the other party to be cranky, he deliberately did not mention the word "Uchiha".

His blazing gaze lingered on Uchiha's face for a long time. However, without his foreseen disappointment or anger, he still saw a blank face.

"I respect the decision of the Council of Elders. However, if the budget is drastically cut, the Konoha police force will have to be cut by three to forty percent, and the lives of these ninjas and their families will not be sustainable. ”

The Uchiha's sound was as cold as ice.

"That's no choice but to let them find another way. Alas...... ”

He was answered by a sigh from Ape Flying Sun.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The Uchiha Shisui didn't salute as usual, and turned straight away. His body was still vigorous and straight, but his steps seemed much heavier than when he came.

"What a pity!"

Ape Feiri looked at his departing back, and at one point let out a deep sigh.

。。。。。。。。

The spring breeze turned the leaves green overnight.

The scent of grass and green leaves warms everyone's heart and spleen with the breeze. The laughter and laughter on the streets of Konoha gradually increased, and it seemed that gossip that had not appeared in a long time began to spread among the crowd again.

The first news of Kaichun is related to the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash.

The cause of the incident was a routine medical check-up of the three generations of Hokage apes. According to common sense, as the "shadow" of Konoha, the physical examination report of the ape flying sun slash should be top secret and will never be made public.

But for some reason, the photocopy of this top-secret medical examination report was made out of the hospital by a powerful person, and then even the details of the medical examination report were circulated.

If everything is normal in the medical examination report, it will not cause any turmoil. However, the results of the physical examination report surprised everyone.

"The physical condition is extremely bad, it is advisable to recuperate quietly and avoid heavy work."

This is the conclusion of the medical examination report.

I don't know which bold doctor actually issued such a medical examination report, but it was this report that almost stated that Sarutobi was not suitable to continue to serve as Hokage from the hospital. The most important thing is that this report was issued without the knowledge of Sarutobi Hizashi himself, which is more authoritative.

The news that the three generations of Hokage were already terminally ill spread throughout Konoha overnight with the spring breeze.

There are those who are sad and crying, those who regret it, those who gloat, and those who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

In short, everyone is happy to act as a receiver and disseminator of the message, and quickly spread the news to every corner.

As the rumors spread farther and farther out, a looming question surfaced.

Who will be the next Hokage?

This is indeed a problem, and a very serious one.

。。。。。。。。

The three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun, who had just made a deal with the masked man and were in a state of madness, were shocked by the sudden news.

As if he had been poured ice water on his head, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't even speak.

"Where is the doctor now?"

After half a cup of tea, Ape Fei Ri Slash regained some of his senses a little.

At this time, his voice was cold and full of murderous intent, and he no longer had the kind and kind appearance he usually had.

"That doctor left Konoha yesterday."

In other words, not only the doctor could not be found, but even the report could not be verified. Is that so? ”

The ape's voice trembled slightly, sounding like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

The shadow ninja who knelt on one knee hung his head deeply, not daring to look directly into his eyes that could burn people to charcoal.

"No need to check, I know who did it."

Ape Feiri's right palm landed heavily on the wooden table in front of him, and countless white pieces of paper rose in response to his palm, flying wildly in the air.

"Tell Danzo to come see me immediately!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The Shadow Ninja fled and left.

In the entire Konoha area, those who have the ability and courage to do this, except for Tuanzang, Sarutobi can't think of a second candidate.

What's more, Tuanzang has this motive.

"Old friend, it seems that you can't wait any longer。。。。。。"

Ape Fei Ri Slash muttered to himself in a mocking tone.
