"Why don't you go?" Tsunade found Mikido alone, and her face was full of tiredness after she hadn't slept all night last night.

"We're already Konoha people, why should we go?" Mikido asked rhetorically, although the massacre of Hippo Hanyu was not tolerated by the rules of Konoha Village, but the practices of those families were not the root cause of all this.

Tsunade was a little angry, and his hand at Mikido trembled slightly, "You-"

"Tsunade-sama, I know you're kind enough to let us go, but we also have a reason to stay." Mikido couldn't bear to see Tsunade's disappointed expression, so he could only say sorry to her in his heart.

The conversation between the two broke up unhappily, and Tsunade sat at his desk a little dazedly, looking at the documents on the table, which contained the life history of Hippo Han, although it was incomplete, but in Tsunade's opinion, it was not easy to collect these.

But these are not fatal, what really scares Tsunade is the photos and analysis, there is a saying in the ninja world that dead people can speak, and this time, it was those dead people who spoke.

The same wound, the same way of death, the same gorgeous ninjutsu, comparing the glorious achievements of Hippo Hanyu in the past with the Konoha tragedy, even a fool knows who the murderer is.

The atmosphere in Konoha was very dull, Mito Menyan and Koharu Zhuan Koharu waited all night, and unexpectedly the direction of the wind seemed to have changed, and the Konoha ninjas, who were still indignant yesterday, were much quieter, and only some ordinary villagers were still talking about Hippo Hanyu.

"What's going on?" Zhuan Xiaochun is very sensitive, and they don't seem to be very popular in the village anymore, which makes them, who have always been arrogant, a little confused.

"Two adults, Elder Shimaya is here." The two had just sat down in the office when they heard a message from their subordinates.

"Shimaya?" The two thought for a long time before they remembered that there was indeed such a person in Konoha, but this what elder had long since stopped walking around the Konoha upper level, and after the original Konoha elder group withered, he did not appear in the high-level meeting.

"Elder Shimaya", although Shimaya is no longer a popular figure, but as a generation that has fought side by side with the second generation of Hokage, Shimaya can also be regarded as their father's successor, and the two of them still welcomed him in with the junior ceremony.

Shimaya, who is already in his eighties, is still quite strong, and he has a kind smile on his face that has long been dissatisfied with wrinkles, "Menyan, Koharu, I call you like this, you won't have an opinion, right?" ”

"Don't dare", a trace of displeasure slipped through the hearts of the two, but they still replied respectfully.

"Hehe", Shimaya is already an old man, and automatically ignored the coldness in the tone of the two, and said: "When people are older, it is easy to recall the past, and over the years, I have often thought, if my old guys are still alive, how good it would be!" Mito Asahara, Kokiko, Hinata Hinatari, Mitarai Kenjiro, and ......, in a blink of an eye, even their grandsons have become the pillars of Konoha, which is really emotional! ”

Hearing such a familiar name, Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu's hearts were shocked, what a distant memory at that time!

"Father, you must come back in triumph!" A cute little boy took a young man's hand and shouted excitedly.

The young man smiled kindly, patted his head and said, "At that time, of course, Menyan should be obedient when he stays at home, and this time my father will definitely bring you a gift." ”

"It's a deal!" Komonyan looked expectantly at his father, Mito Asahara.

"Definitely", Mito Asahara nodded confidently, "We, Konoha, under the leadership of the second generation, will definitely win." ”

But in that battle, Konoha was victorious, but his father Mito Menyan also died, and only a few of Konoha's older generation were able to come back alive, and half of them withdrew from the battle sequence after the battle because of injuries. At that time, there were no medical ninjas in Konoha, and many ninjas chose to commit suicide after being injured in order not to be captured by the enemy, and some ninjas were infected and took their lives by bacteria.

"Women are all going to get married," a mature and beautiful woman said to Koharu, who was already a girl.

"But my aunt is such an excellent ninja who is married, which is a huge loss for Konoha!" Zhuan Xiaochun muttered dissatisfiedly, she really couldn't figure out why her aunt, whom she regarded as an idol, wanted to marry an ordinary person.

"Even if Konoha doesn't have me, isn't there a ninja as good as Koharu? The future of Konoha is up to you! Xiao Muzi looked at her innocent niece and said very lovingly.

"I'm going to be as good a ninja as my aunt, and for the sake of Konoha, I'll never marry someone for the rest of my life." turned to Xiaochun to be angry, but no one thought that this tone would be more than 40 years of gambling, and until now, she is still a single old woman.

Sobering up from the memories, both of them had some ups and downs, but both of them were strong-willed people, so naturally they wouldn't believe that Inada came to them just to miss their old friends.

"Before the establishment of Konoha, this world was still in the Warring States Period, there were wars everywhere, and we civilians were facing death tests at any time, and in this melee of princes, there were two families that stood out in particular, that is, the original Senju family of Mori and the Uchiha family. With their strong strength, they protect those who depend on them, and in order to survive, our small families have taken refuge in their doors and accepted their protection. Some young people with potential have been selected and mentored to become good ninja warriors. Inadiya reminisced about the past, and he himself was lucky enough to be singled out.

"But the greater the strength, the stronger the opponent, at that time we fought with the princes of the Fire Country, fought with other families, there were many opponents, there were fallen samurai groups, there were powerful magicians, summoners, there were strange demon clans, even the Senju clan known as the most warlike was facing a crisis. But the Senju clan of the Mori has reconciled with the rapidly rising Uchiha clan, and the two most prominent families in the Land of Fire have joined forces and become horns against each other. ”

"As the war intensified, more and more families threw themselves into these two joint groups, and at this time there were Hinata Hinata and the Oil Girl clan, all of whom came from the clan and soon became an important force in the alliance. At this time, Konoha also had the initial prototype, in order to unite the strength of all the families in the village, under the leadership of the two giants, the Konoha Elder Group was established, and the purpose of the Elder Group was to coordinate the contradictions of all parties and ensure the unity of Konoha. ”

"After the establishment of Konoha, the two giants had a disagreement on how to govern Konoha, and strictly speaking, this disagreement could not say who was right and who was wrong. However, when Madara Uchiha, the number one master of the Uchiha clan and one of the two giants, wanted to split the newly established village, the elder group played a major role for the first time, and most of the Uchiha clan was persuaded that his plan was not realized, and the newborn Konoha was saved. The Battle of the Valley of the Beginning became the final battle between the two giants, and after this battle, Konoha entered a new era. ”

"The newly established Konoha is fragile and powerful, in the battles again and again, Konoha gradually grew, but at this critical moment, the first ninja war broke out, Konoha's second generation of Hokage was killed, and the entire Konoha fell into a panic, because there was no convincing Hokage's suitable candidate, Konoha was facing a huge crisis, at this time, the elder group played an important role again, and Konoha entered a short but glorious period of elder supervision." Shimaya stopped, because the two in front of him were very clear about what was going on, because they were one of the protagonists who were active at that time.

At that time, for the sake of Konoha's stability, the elder group reached an agreement to select one of the outstanding young juniors to take over as Konoha's ninja, and the third generation, who was the second generation of Hokage's students at the time, gradually stood out from the many ninjas, and with the strong support of the Senju clan and other big families in the Mori no Mori, defeated the biggest competitor Danzo supported by the Uchiha and other families, and became the third generation Hokage of Konoha.

"After the election of the three generations, the elder group should have slowly faded out of the daily management of Konoha, but some people were reluctant to power and still held on to the elder group, and the elder group gradually degenerated into a place for some family selfish transactions." Shimaya, who was still full of pride just now, exuded an undisguised look of disappointment at this moment, and it was from that time that he himself withdrew from the affairs of the Elder Body.

"What the hell do you want to say?" Mito Menyan vaguely guessed Shimaya's thoughts, and asked with some displeasure.

Shimaya stood up, the two people in front of him can be regarded as he watched grow up, what their nature is, he still knows a little, and because of this, he will promise someone to convince the two of them, "For Konoha and for yourself, let go when you should let go." Shimaya no longer hid it, and said directly.

Mito Menyan's face suddenly changed greatly, and he said, "You are here to intercede for Hippo Hanyu?" ”

"Intercede for him?" Shimaya looked at Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu, and said for a while, "I don't want you to be sacrificed to power." ”

"What do you mean?" Koharu is very disgusted by Shimaya's statement.

"Konoha is different now than before", Shimaya sighed and said, "Now Konoha no longer has a strong family like Uchiha, and there is no elder group that can influence Konoha, after those wealthy nobles are slowly annihilated by history, Konoha must find a new fulcrum to survive." ”

"You mean that we people have decayed and should withdraw from the stage of history?" Mito Menyan sneered.

"It's brutal, but that's the reality." Shimaya believed that the two of them understood the reality, "I came to convince you, but it was the third generation who asked me to convince you, you and Sasuke are friends and partners, and you should know him best." Sasuke asked me to tell you that the current Konoha can't afford to toss anymore, so for the sake of Konoha, he doesn't mind carrying the reputation of a sinner to meet the second Hokage. ”
