When Danzo was invited to Sarutobi's house, he saw that in addition to Saruto, Koharu and Mito Menyan were also there, and Akimichi was also here.

Sarutobi and Mitomon were playing chess there, and Koharu and Akido were watching from the sidelines.

Several old friends rarely got together again, and Tuan Zang was quite surprised.

"Tuan Zang is here." Autumn Road took the wind and saw Tuan Zang, and said hello with a smile.

Tuan Zang smiled lightly and said, "What's the matter today, Ape Fei wants to invite a few of us to dinner together." ”

Ape Fei glanced at him and said, "What, you're still not happy to invite you to dinner?" ”

Danzou saw that Biwako was busy in the kitchen, and he also walked to the side of everyone and sat down, looking at the chessboard where Sarufei and Mito Menyan were playing.

Mito Menyan frowned, thinking about it for a long time, Sarufei seemed to be at ease.

After a long time, Mito Menyan moved the flag, and he couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

Zhuan Xiaochun said: "Yan's chess skills are as stinky as ever. ”

Not surprisingly, Sarutobi completed the lore on the chessboard, and Mito Menyan twitched the corner of his mouth, and then reluctantly threw down the chess pieces in his hand.

Tuan Zang said: "Don't take out your little bit of skill. ”

Mito Menyan said angrily: "In terms of chess, you are not much better than me." ”

Ape Fei smiled confidently: "The only one who can meet my chess opponent is the mirror." ”

The Uchiha Mirror is dead.

When everyone mentioned him, they were very calm, and Tuan Zang said: "The mirror is letting you every time, I'm afraid you will lose too badly." ”

Ape Fei was dissatisfied: "I sometimes let him." ”

The five of them, who were more than 300 years old, got together to chat, and Tuan Zang still asked a few of them when he felt bored after ape Fei left office.

Lake Biwa prepares the food and drinks and calls a few people over.

During the banquet, the cup was pushed and changed, and there was a reminiscence of the past, talking about each other's half-life horses and eventful years, maybe there are only these things to talk about when they are old.

Tuan Zang said very little, just drank quietly, and sighed and sighed when he watched Ape Fei.

He knew that these people were satisfied, and they were already at ease.

But he didn't, although he was already in his fifties, and most of his life had passed, he still hadn't found a suitable end for himself.

At the very least, to the same height as Ape Fly...... No, it should go further than him!

"Tuanzang." Ape Fei's soft call suddenly sounded.

"Hmm." Tuan Zang's expression was calm.

Mito Menyan's face was flushed from drinking, and his arm was against the table and his forehead.

"I said you......" Ape Fei already had a big tongue when he spoke.

"It's time to let go, why hold on to something."

Tuan Zang rubbed the wine glass in his hand, his mind was very clear, looking at Ape Fei's drunken appearance, he didn't know whether he was really drunk or fake.

"Ape Fei, I'm different from you." Tuan Zang said slowly.

"You are admired by thousands of people, and even after stepping down from the position of Hokage, you are still loved by the villagers."

"However, the ninjas in the village avoided me one by one."

"You are the shadow of the light, and I am the darkness of the darkness."

"You've retired now, and you're relieved of everything, but for me, I haven't lived the way I want to in this life."

“……”

The third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun slapped his forehead lightly, and breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at the few people next to him, and Akido was already lying on the table and fell asleep, and his mouth was still snoring.

Mito Menyan and Koharu also seemed to be a little unconscious.

Sarufei asked, "What do you want, Hokage?" ”

Danzou asked, "Sarutobi, what does the position of Hokage mean to you, a responsibility?" An honor? ”

Ape Fei didn't answer the question.

Tuan Zang continued: "Do you remember the teacher's last wish? ”

“……”

Tuan Zang said, "I know you won't forget, but there's nothing you can do about it. ”

"A huge ninja world, just being a shadow of Shoucheng is already your limit, and just a few wars have worn out all your blood and fighting spirit."

Sarutobi took a deep breath and said, "The teacher's last wish is to hope that Konoha can prosper and the villagers can live in harmony and stability. ”

Tuan Zang sneered: "Are the people under the rule of the daimyo hungry or clothed, and they need you to give them a stable life?" ”

"Sarutobi, you've forgotten the meaning of ninja itself! The first Hokage and the second Hokage's Konoha have ever been so humiliated? ”

Lake Biwa suddenly walked over at this time, brought a few cups of tea, and said calmly, "Drink some water, sober up." ”

Qiu Dao raised his head sleepily and asked blankly, "Am I asleep, what time is it?" ”

Tuan Zang drank the tea in the cup and said, "The meal is over, the wine is finished, it's time to leave." ”

Akido stood up with a shaky twist and said to Lake Biwa, "Lake Biwa, your cooking skills have improved again, I haven't eaten your dishes for a long time." ”

Lake Biwa smiled lightly: "If you want to eat, you can come often." ”

Zhuan Xiaochun also shook up with Mito Menyan, and Biwako stepped forward to support the two, and she said helplessly: "What do you have to drink so much for, it's not like there is no chance in the future." ”

Several people left separately, and Tuan Zang also left.

Lake Biwa began to clean up the mess and remove the leftovers as they had eaten.

She kicked Ape Fei, who was sitting there motionless: "How long are you going to pretend to be dead?" ”

Ape Fei sneered and stepped out of the way.

He sat down in front of the living room door, leaning against the door frame and looking up at the sky.

He remembered every time he had an argument with Tuan Zang in the past.

Asma went home at this time, and saw her father, who was sitting there, just as he tried to get closer, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

"You've been drinking?" He wrinkled his nose in disgust.

"Hmmm......"

"Asma."

Asma was about to enter the house, but was stopped by Ape Fei.

"Huh?"

"Go to my study and bring the envelope with the red slip in the left drawer."

“…… Oh. ”

After a while, Asma walked over with a letter and handed it to Ape Fei, who couldn't help but hold his breath as he approached Ape Fei's side.

Sarufei opened it, it was an invitation letter from the royal family of the Fire Country, and the content of the letter had no other meaning, just an invitation to be a guest.

Some wealthy families in the village are more or less connected with the royal officials and ministers of the Fire Country, which is unavoidable.

He thought that he had stepped down as Hokage, so he stopped paying attention to this kind of political-related matter and let go step by step.

But when he reached this point, he found that when he really threw everything away, he was afraid that he would be powerless if he wanted to stop something that he didn't want to happen.

He should not have relinquished power.

At least, not yet.
