Hokage's office.

On Sarutobi's desk was a document on some of Uzumaki's recent missions and actions.

For the third time, Uzumaki Kushina has been at odds with the new team, making it difficult to carry out the mission normally.

The leader of the roots, Tuan Zang, was standing on crutches in front of Ape Fei Ri Slash's desk, and said in a deep voice to Ape Fei Ri Slash: "It seems that you can't find a suitable place to place that child, Hi Slash, in that case, it is better to hand her over to me." ”

Ape Feiri bit his pipe, looked at Tuan Zang and said, "Do you want to cultivate human pillar force into an emotionless machine?" ”

Tuan Zang said expressionlessly: "Uzumaki Kushina is a candidate for the 9-tailed human pillar force. She is the most important weapon in Konoha Village. The best way to leave it to the roots is to cultivate and manage them. Suncut, you're too gentle. ”

Sarutobi retorted, "Kushina is a Konoha ninja, not a war machine. What's more, the matter of the nine tails is decided by Mito sensei in the end. ”

Uzumaki Mito, the wife of the original Hokage, and the current Nine-Tails Pillar Force,

Tuanzang said in a deep voice: "Mito-sensei is old, and he can't support it for long. We have to think about the future of the village..."

"Enough!"

Ape Fei Ri Slash suddenly got up and interrupted the topic: "Don't tell me, Tuan Zang, you came here specifically for this matter." ”

Danzang took a deep look at Ape Fei Hi Slash and said, "It's just that this matter is related to Uzumaki Kushina. Yun Shinobi's activities have been a little strange lately, and he seems to be interested in the descendants of the Uzumaki clan. ”

Ape Fei Ri took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled a circle of smoke. He got up and walked to the window, looked down at Konoha Village below, and said, "You want to say that Yun Shinobi has intentions for Kushina?" ”

Tuan Zang said: "The two tails and eight tails of Yun Ren are also starting to get restless, and they will naturally seek a more stable human pillar force to seal. The descendants of the Uzumaki clan are clearly the best vessels. ”

Ape Fei Ri Slash had already heard the voice of Tuan Zang's words.

This guy's meaning is nothing more than wanting to put him under house arrest in the name of protecting Kushina. As for why he is talking about this matter at this point in time, it is nothing more than that Sarutobi Hichisha just agreed to let Kushina take the middle ninja exam not long ago.

Sarutobi looked away from the window, looked at Danzou in the room again, and said, "Kushina, I've already handed over to Shuo Mao's team. With Rin here, Kushina can also pass the middle ninja exam smoothly. ”

"Rin Uchiha? Don't forget, she's an Uchiha. ”

"But he's also a descendant of the mirror."

Ape Fei Ri Slash looked at Tuan Zang with a firm look in his eyes: "I believe that she has the will of fire in her!" Also, I'm the Hokage. It's not your turn to do this. ”

"Good!"

The head of the regiment finally dragged a long voice, and finally said: "Ri Chop, you will regret it if you insist on doing it like this!" ”

In Danzang's view, the war machine of the human pillar force should be controlled from the beginning and handed over to the root for safekeeping.

The role of the machine only needs to follow the instructions, and there is no need to have other superfluous feelings. It's the same with ninjas. Ninjas with extra feelings will only ruin the mission. And only the ninja who is a machine is the greatest help of Konoha.

However, Ape Fei Ri Chop does not agree with this. The two have long argued over this issue. No one came up with a result.

Sarutobi didn't respond to Danzo's words, and it wasn't until after Danzou left that he glanced in the direction the other party had left.

"Am I going my own way, or are you self-righteous?"

Ape Fei Ri sighed.

Whenever he rejects Tuanzang's suggestion, Tuanzang will give him a hat of willful behavior. But all the advisors and Sarutobi, who is the Hokage, everyone knows that Danzou just wants his opinion to be adopted.

However, Tuanzang's opinion is not useless.

The presence of the roots has really helped the three generations of Hokage deal with a lot of problems behind the scenes.

It's just that recently,

The three generations of Hokage faintly discovered that the roots that had escaped from the shadows were under the control of Danzo, like the roots of a large tree, deeply rooted in the darkness of Konoha. It is true that a tree cannot do without its roots, but its roots are also inseparable from a tree.

But now at the root, there is a faint feeling of becoming a private armed force in the group.

The highest military institution in Konoha Village is the Hokage,

The command of all ninjas should also be on the Hokage, but Danzo has such a self-respecting army....

"It's me who indulges him too much, and needs to be balanced."

Ape Fei Ri thought to himself.

However, the problem of Jiu Xinnai's positioning mentioned by Tuan Zang just now is indeed a difficult problem in his heart.

Konoha high-level positioning for Jiu Sinai has two,

For one, she is a Konoha ninja.

As a ninja, Kushina has to take on the ninja's blame, accept the task and complete the task, and be able to stand up for the trouble in the village. What's more, as a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, Kushina was born with a chakra amount that exceeds that of ordinary people, and at least he can become a shinobi. Moreover, the bloodline of the Vortex clan gives her a natural advantage when facing tailed beasts.

Second, she is a nine-tailed pillar force.

Uzumaki Kushina is Konoha's last hole card and trump card. If she is easily placed on the frontline battlefield, she may be set on fire by the enemy one day, or even taken away, and maybe even the Nine-Tails in her body will be pulled out.

What Tuan Zang said before is not unreasonable, and placing Kushina in Konoha Village is the best choice. How can there be a reason for the trump card to run out casually.

However, Kushina is the only remaining descendant of the Uzumaki clan.

Because of the relationship between the wife of the first Hokage, Uzumaki Mito, the country of Vortex and Konoha Village have always maintained an alliance relationship, but in the first two ninja wars, in the face of the siege of the four major powers, Konoha was also unable to support it alone.

Failing to protect sleepwalking led to the extinction of the Uzumaki clan, which made Sarutobi feel very guilty and sorry for Mito-sensei.

And Mito-sensei also hopes to give Kushina a good childhood, and he doesn't want to be bitter by the accusations of human power.

This is also the reason why Sarutobi Hizashi agreed to Kushina to take the middle ninja exam.

It's just that you have to choose a balance between the two.

This is also a difficult problem.

"I didn't expect it...."

Ape Fei Ri sat back in his seat with a cigarette and sighed, "Finally, I have to ask the descendants of the mirror for help...."

The Uchiha Mirror is the younger brother of Sarutobi Hizaki.

As one of the most orthodox heirs of the Will of Fire. Sarutobi Hizashi believes that his descendant, Rin Uchiha, also has the will to fire. After all, this is the talent he has chosen.

What's more, the expectations of the three generations of Hokage for her are not limited to this.

He hopes that Rin Uchiha will be a bridge between Konoha Village and the Uchiha clan.

Ease the relationship between the two sides.

While thinking about the ape flying sun, he took out a document.

The above is about this Chunin exam. Specific information on the next appointment.

"Rin Uchiha.... Uzumaki Kushina..... Toshino Ishida. ”

Ape Fei Ri Slash, looking at this team report, thought in his heart.

First up is Rin Uchiha. This son of the Uchiha clan, who is also a descendant of the Uchiha Mirror, and the future Nine-Tails Pillar Force will form a team. This is also a friendly signal from the three generations of Hokage to the Uchiha clan.

Finally, choose a civilian child. Although Toshiya Ishida is not strong enough, he has achieved the balance of the squad in all aspects.

Smack

Sarutobi closed the papers, then took a puff on his cigarette and laughed for a moment.

As the Hokage, he carefully distributes the ninjas of each graduating class to achieve various balances. It's just that I didn't expect that even the assignment of the middle ninja exam would have to be interfered with. You know, they used to be free teams.

After deciding on Kushina's placement issue.

Sarutobi briefly skimmed through the documents of the other shinobi, and after a brief pause on the Uchiha Fugaku and Bo Feng Shuimon, he didn't pay attention to the matter of the shinobi exam.

"Yun Ren also has a move over there..."

Ape Hiza looked up and spat out a puff of smoke into the ceiling.

What really worries him now is the situation in the ninja world. Although the Second Shinobi War has just ended. However, friction between countries continues. And it's almost a form centered on Konoha that unfolds.

The reason is simple, the country of fire is the country with the most abundant resources, and Konoha won the Second Shinobi World War, sharing a lot of benefits, which makes all the villages turn to Konoha as a reason.

As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

How to deal with the current post-war situation is the headache that Ape Fei Ri should have now.

Outside the village,

The four great powers are eyeing Konoha fiercely.

Internal.

The competition for the right to speak between various families has also begun to gradually become stronger, especially the Yi Yu and Zhibo clans, the elders of the village.

There is also the root of the group.

Both internally and externally are very unstable.

Even the three generations of Hokage can faintly feel it. If the situation in the five major powers continues like this, the 3rd Great Ninja War will definitely break out.

Thinking of this, the ape flew into the sun, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Konoha never takes the initiative to provoke a war, but if anyone really wants to. Provocative Konoha. That Konoha Village will definitely not sit still.

The current Konoha has this confidence.
