Hokage's office.

Purgatory Kyojuro solemnly placed a passbook from the Bank of Fire on the desk of the third generation.

The old man put down his cigarette stick and widened his eyes.

Although he already had some guesses in his heart, he still asked as if he were verifying, "Kyojuro, what are you going to do here?" ”

"Hokage-sama! This is the deposit I have accumulated in the past three years, a total of 14,230,000 taels! ”

The eyes of the three generations were slightly wide.

The bad guess was confirmed, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Kyojuro didn't stop speaking because of the appearance of the three generations, and continued to speak aloud: "Although Dr. Tsunade said that as long as I live here, I can get rid of 10,000 taels of debt every day, but I know in my heart that letting me live in her house is just a way to take care of me in disguise!" I can't accept that I can get such a high salary for living in someone's house just for a little cleaning!

"The money in the passbook is all earned by working part-time in the Land of Fire and ninja under the contract of Konoha!

"Although there is still a shortage of 800,000 yuan, if we wait until the end of this year, including the interest of the bank, we should be able to make up the amount of 15 million taels! I'll give this money to Dr. Tsunade for me! ”

The three generations glanced at the numbers in the passbook, and then let out an old sigh.

"The day has finally come."

Of course he knew about Kyojurou's contracting of the Konoha Shinobu mission.

Over the years, the village has accumulated a large number of D-level and C-level commissions.

This kind of commission requires little combat power, but it is time-consuming, laborious, and rarely rewarded, so few young ninjas are willing to do it.

And Kyojuro has a lot of chakra, but he is not a registered ninja in Konoha, so he is not qualified to take those commissions.

But in order to make enough money, he blocked the gate of the task assignment office, asked Konoha Shinobu who came in and out of the place, and entrusted all those trivial troubles to the next, and then his doppelganger contracted to carry it out.

As for the remuneration for the commission, after subtracting the commission of the ninja who led the team, Kyojuro took half of it directly.

For those shinobi who are just responsible for receiving commissions, this is money earned for nothing, so why not?

So the cooperation quickly began smoothly.

Those commissions that no one took over for watering the ploughland, collecting medicines, catching cats and walking dogs, taking care of children, subduing hurtful beasts, and even taking care of paralyzed patients were all taken care of by Xingjulang alone, and the praise rate was almost 100%.

At the most, Kyojurou completed sixteen commissions in one day.

In the past three years, he has completed nearly 2,000 commissions, and the remuneration for each commission is cut and commissioned, and he can earn about 2,500 taels. It can be seen that more than half of the 14 million taels of consultation fees are earned by Xing Shoulang from other sources, and even the three generations do not know.

"You gave me this money, are you planning to leave Konoha?"

The wrinkles on the faces of the three generations were a little deeper than before, and they looked as deep as if they had been chiseled with a knife.

Obviously, when he reviewed the test results of the ninja school students an hour ago, he was not so old.

"Yes! From now on, I won't live in Konoha forever! ”

The reason why Kyojuro didn't wait to save enough money to say goodbye was because he wasn't sure about the outcome of this trip to the Land of Rain.

But if you owe money to someone, you have to pay it back as much as you can. If he can come back this time, he will continue to work to make up for the 800,000 yuan. But if you can't come back, you can only make up this figure with interest.

"Thank you very much for taking care of me with the village in the past three years!"

"No thanks, you've changed the village a lot."

The three generations muttered for a while, their fingers clenched together and rubbed back and forth, obviously surrounded by anxiety in their hearts.

"You've already told Naruto about your departure?"

"Yi Yong already knows! I'll tell them the rest before I leave! ”

Xing Shoulang said calmly: "Although I am also very reluctant to everyone, but there is no endless banquet in the world, and I also have something to do!" But if nothing else, I'll come to Konoha often to visit them! And of course, still as a guest! ”

“…… Although I knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, I still fantasized that I could rely on this old bone to change your mind and keep you in Konoha. If this happens, it will be the most valuable thing I can do for this village. ”

Miyo pressed the half-open passbook with an inkwell, and raised his heavy eyelids to look at Kyojuro.

Although his eyes were full of regret, he was also a little relieved.

"But now it seems that I overestimated my influence, Kyojuro, I didn't misunderstand you. You have a heart as resilient as my teacher. ”

Since handing over the scroll left by Vortex Mito to Kyojuro, the three generations have never played tricks with Kyojuro, nor have they specifically controlled who approaches or even distances from him.

For this kind of upright, open-minded, and even able to see through people's hearts, the only way to treat others is to treat others with sincerity.

Therefore, when Ape Fei Ri Slash found out that this child had a unique fire escape talent, he simply tried his best to teach it as if he were his own junior clansmen and students, and even taught him the fire escape ninjutsu of the Ape Fei clan.

But as soon as he turned his head, Kyojuro taught the knack of cultivating the change in the nature of the fire attribute to the ninja school students such as Uchiha, Sarutobi, and his fire attribute chakra in a more easy-to-understand way. In the past few years alone, the descendants of the Ape Fei clan, as soon as they graduated, their attainments in the fire escape were close to the level of Shangnin, and the only drawback was that the chakra was seriously insufficient......

All in all, Kyojurou never refuses "favors" that can improve his abilities.

But after receiving the benefit, he will immediately return it to Konoha in his unique way, and never let his heart be surrounded by a sense of indebtedness. And in this way, Kyojurou inadvertently greatly reduced the estrangement between the children of the Konoha family.

Although I can't see anything now, when these children grow up, the cohesion of the major families in the village will definitely be stronger than now. This is all the result of Xingjulang shining anytime and anywhere, he is what Sarutobi Rizashi thinks, a natural leader.

But now, the three generations of Hokage can't find a reason to convince him to stay.

"Although there is a high probability that I know that you will refuse, for the sake of Konoha's future, I still have to give it a try."

The three generations stood up from behind their desks and walked across from Kyojuro, their eyes shining with a sinister light, but their postures were relatively equal.

"If you are willing to stay and officially join this village, then I can promise you that the position of the Hokage will be entrusted to you sooner or later."

Kyojurou was shocked and just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the palm raised by the three generations of Hokage.

"You listen to me first, the old man is not just talking, nor is he making a wish casually, but you have indeed met all the conditions.

"You are a member of Mito-sama's clan, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is related to Mito-sama, so he won't have any opinions there.

"Furthermore, with the potential you have shown, you will definitely have the power to surpass me, an old man, and even the Five Shadows in the future, and you will have the qualifications to be called the Hokage.

"Finally, Kyojuro, half of the inhabitants of Konoha know your name, know what you've done, and have received a lot of your help. In the ninja school, more than eighty percent of the students worship you very much, and after a few years, they have become the backbone of the village, and they will not hesitate to support you to become the Hokage. ”

The three generations spoke eloquently, and their tone was calm, as if they had seen the appearance of the imperial robe on Xingjuro's body.

"In every way, if you want to be the Hokage, you're going to have an advantage over anyone else in this village! I remember the day after you came to Konoha, you said on the podium of the ninja school that you hoped that everyone would not die from the sword soldiers and would die a good death. The Land of Fire is the richest country in the ninja world, and Konoha is still the number one ninja village, if you really want to change the world, Konoha is the best chance for you to show your ambitions! ”

The old man was a little excited and grabbed Kyojuro's shoulder.

"Haven't you ever thought about these?!"

The voice of the three generations is not small, and the dark part of the door guard outside can naturally be heard.

Although they were able to stand motionless at the door all day without eating, drinking, or urinating, they were still shocked by the promises given by the three generations.

The two looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and then they were sure that they had heard correctly.

In order to keep Kyojuro, he actually used the Hokage's position as bait? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?

However, the three generations thought very clearly in their hearts, one Xingjurou could solve several big problems faced by Konoha.

First, with Kyojuro, a descendant of the vortex who can use the Vajra blockade, the Nine-Tails is no longer a threat.

Second, judging from the two sons of Kyojuro and the Uchiha Fugaku family, as well as the relationship between those Uchiha in the ninja school, as long as he grows up and sits in the position of Hokage, the conflict between the village and the Uchiha will most likely be resolved naturally.

Third, Sannin ran away, and Konoha has not been able to get a strong man for a long time, but judging from Kyojuro's current performance, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Bo Feng Shuimen, him and even the second generation Hokage.

As long as one Kyojuro can solve these three major problems, the position of a Hokage is only, so what is there to be reluctant to?

The two shadows outside the door seemed to stand still, but all attention was focused on the sound coming from the crack in the door.

They didn't even notice that an old man with a bandage in his right eye and a crutch had reached a distance of five meters.

At this time, the loud voice of Xingjulang happened to come from inside.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you! But I'm not interested in being the Hokage at all! ”

Tuan Zang stopped two meters away, thinking that he might be a little late.

The two shadows outside the door came back to their senses and just wanted to salute him, but they saw Tuan Zang's index finger standing in front of his lips, so they could only stand in silence.

“…… Well, I more or less expected this outcome. ”

The voices of the three generations were even more decadent, but there was not much surprise in their tones.

"No matter what, Kyojuro, Konoha's door is always open for you. I'll use this money directly to pay off Tsunade's gambling debts, but you don't have to move out of that house in a hurry. Later, when you come to Konoha, you still live there, and I think Tsunade would like to do the same. ”

"Then thank Hokage-sama for your kindness!"

"Okay, you go, you don't have to say hello to me when you leave tomorrow. Be safe outside. ”

"Please take care too! I'm going to take my leave. ”

The door opened, and Kyojuro walked out of it, and Danzou wanted to meet him and say something unpleasant, but when he was stared at by those bright eyes, he took a small step back as if he wanted to stay away from the hot stove.

"Excuse me! Get in your way! ”

Kyojuro smiled politely, helped Tuan Zang directly to the door of the office, and then said goodbye to the two shadows before leaving.

“……”

Tuan Zang stood at the door for a while with a complicated face, always feeling that the phrase "in your way" sounded a little strange.

"Danzang, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Sarutobi leaned back on his desk, his tone tinged with some complaint and impatience, "What's the matter?" ”

Danzou closed the door and never mentioned anything about Sarutobi beheading the Hokage's position just now, but asked in a cold voice, "Do you really want to let him go?" ”

The third generation raised his head suddenly, and two sharp rays of light shot out of his eyes surrounded by wrinkles.

"It's not negotiable."

His tone became even colder and harder than that of Tuanzang, "Tuanzang, don't do those superfluous things as usual. That would only push him to the opposite side of Konoha. ”

"He has the secret skills of the Vortex Clan, and I can't do anything superfluous if I want to, but it's all thanks to your generosity."

Tuan Zang was not intimidated by the threatening tone of the three generations, and only after a calm sarcasm did he say the purpose of his trip.

"I'm here to tell you something else. Uchiha Itachi is going to resign as a ninja, you should already know about it, right? ”

The third generation nodded calmly, "He said it when he came to report yesterday. ”

"I'm just reminding you that in the past two years, because of the appearance of the garrison, you have not been as wary of the Uchiha as before. Itachi Uchiha is no longer a ninja or no longer a ninja in Konoha , there is a big difference. I've just met Orochimaru, and I'm going to resign when I come back, will there be no relationship between the two? ”

Thinking of his own bad guys, a trace of vigilance rose between the three generations' eyebrows.

Orochimaru is indeed accustomed to demagoguery, but Uchiha Itachi is very young, just the age of vulnerability.

"Your opinion?"

Danzou tapped the floor with his cane, "The only people who have contact with Orochimaru are him and Uchiha Shisui. In the description of these two people, the process of defeating Orochimaru seemed to be too easy, and they could not be trusted for the time being, and they had to be separated. Even if you want to agree to Uchiha Itachi's resignation, you have to force him to stay in the village for a full year and not let him go out. And the Uchiha stopped the water and continued to send him out on a mission, trying not to let him come back. ”

The three generations of Hokage pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "Then let's do it, send him to the land of the earth to see what Onoki has to move, you can choose the task." ”

Danzo left satisfied, and when he returned to the base of the roots, he wrote a secret letter and handed it to his ninjas.

"Take this letter to the front of the tower in the Death Forest northwest of Konoha, and someone will contact you."

"Yes."

Two hours later, the root ninja who delivered the letter arrived at the designated location, and before he could rest, he was stabbed in the heart by the masked man who suddenly appeared behind him, and then his body and secret letter were taken into the whirlpool of the mask's right eye.
