After stamping the last document report in hand, Watergate couldn't help but sigh softly.

However, this slight sigh seemed to attract the attention of the old man in the room, and he asked, "Do you feel a little tired after working the water gate?" ”

Ape Fei Ri smoked his pipe, and the smile on his face seemed to be gloating.

"Well, after all, the war has just ended, and there will inevitably be a lot of affairs that require the Hokage to make the final decision."

"Only when you really sit in this position, do you know that Konoha's Hokage is actually not that easy to be, so it's better to get used to it as soon as possible."

It seems that retiring from the position of Hokage has not affected him in the slightest, and even because he is a little more leisurely, his spirit is a little younger than before.

Hearing this, Shuimen also turned his head to look at the three generations of Hokage on the side, and said with some embarrassment: "Ha, I will get used to it." ”

In the days following his ascension to Hokage, he was nothing more than a ruthless stamping machine.

In fact, most of the documents delivered to me can be confirmed, and reading them again is just like catching insects.

But if you want to say anything, you don't care about opening the lid on your head, but there are a few applications with obvious problems mixed in.

And in the eyes of Watergate, Konoha really needs to solve a problem, but none of them have been submitted to him.

There is not even room for discussion.

This inevitably makes Watergate a little bit of self-doubt.

As he pondered, Mizumon suddenly tilted his head slightly, and a figure appeared in the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, report from the Shadows."

Mizuto didn't speak, just quietly turned his head to look at the Miyome Hokage who was still standing here even though he didn't have a seat.

Feeling the gaze from the water gate, Ape Fei Ri closed his eyes slightly and said:

"Come on, and I'm no longer the Hokage, and you have to take it all over as soon as possible."

Watergate turned his head to look at the dark part who had lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head to touch the ground on one knee, and there was something uncomfortable in his heart.

Take it all over, but I don't even know what the name of this dark part in front of me is.

And how to take it?

In the end, Watergate could only nod and respond:

"Yes, please."

However, the shadow seemed to hesitate.

"Yes, news from the Fog Concealment"

Ape Fei Ri frowned slightly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. Don't embarrass the old man. ”

The dark head that touched the ground on one knee sank down again: "Yes, I'm very sorry for the Hokage's third and fourth generations." ”

"News came from our unit's hidden espionage mission in the direction of Wuyin, and the civil unrest in Wuyin Village has gradually subsided in recent months, and there is also unexpected news."

"Say."

"We found out that the Misty Ninja had gathered a large number of ninjas for some reason, but it didn't look like they were preparing for war."

Sarutobi frowned: "Large-scale ninjas have been assembled. Isn't it like preparing for war, meaning the same tactics of large-scale disturbance as before? ”

These guys are as annoying as flies.

"Lord Miyome, it doesn't seem to be like this" The dark part hesitated, as if it was because the next information was a little hot.

He gathered his thoughts a little and continued:

"They are extremely dispersed, as if they are looking for something, and even at one point the members of our department were almost exposed."

"After that. The Uchiha used the Sharingan to subdue one of the squads and tortured them with illusions. ”

After a moment's pause, the shadows still spoke the news he didn't dare to confirm.

"Uchiha Shisui told me and others that the fog ninja did this because of the three-tailed and six-tailed beasts in the village, and their whereabouts are now unknown."

"All?" Hizai was a little surprised.

"According to Zhishui, it is so."

Ape Fei Ri pondered for a moment: "Stand down, find a way to notify the dark part of the fog hidden direction, and bring back as much information about the tailed beast as possible without revealing your whereabouts." ”

"Yes."

After the three generations took one hand, he stroked the pipe with the other, which was a thinking gesture that he had developed a habit of.

A few months ago, due to the sudden civil strife in the land of water and the outbreak of the Iwa Shinobi raid war, the peace contract between Konoha and Kirigakure that had been negotiated was stillborn.

Since then, Mist has been using harassment tactics to continuously invade the eastern coastal areas of the Fire Country, so that Tokunoha has to start a war from east to west, and almost pulled out a supply line across the Fire Country.

The casualties and the consumption of materials are not insignificant.

It turns out that one of them. Is there a reason why the tailed beast is missing?

But wouldn't that be the case?

Sarutobi looked back at the young man sitting in the Hokage's seat slightly.

Sure enough, his expression was a little cloudy.

"Watergate, I'm sorry about Kakashi and Rin."

"But as the Hokage of Konoha, you can't be depressed by this."

According to Kakashi's report, Rin was planted with three tails in the body by the Fog Shadows, which was a vicious plan to attack Konoha directly.

And this poisonous plan was broken by the little girl who looked inconspicuous at first glance.

"That little girl who looks soft and glutinous, there is no doubt about it. They are the inheritors of the will of fire, and you don't need to grieve for it, the students are all heroes of Konoha. ”

According to Mizumon and Kakashi's report, Rinna's body is suspected to have been recovered by the fog.

If it could be said that there were still fantasies about it before, then the news from the shadows at this moment can undoubtedly conclude that Nohara Rin, an excellent Konoha ninja, has died.

Although the Tailed Beast is a transcendent and almost immortal existence in the ninja world, it will still die for a short time with the death of the human pillar force.

Even if it will be reborn in the ninja world in a way that the world cannot understand, the place where it was born is not very clear.

Therefore, the disappearance of the three tails almost showed that the little girl had been completely cut off from the tailed beast before Misty had even had time to pull it away from Lin's body.

And the tailed beast was also out of the control of the fog.

Of course, this is not good news for Watergate.

But the information that Konoha Fog Hidden has lost not only the three tails, but even the six tails together, is undoubtedly a great news.

This means that the Land of Water and the Fog Hidden Village have lost the final 'hole card' that was given and sold by the first generation.

It only needs to put a little pressure on it, and the peace contract that has not been signed before will probably be able to be written again.

And maybe even the provisions of the treaty can be slightly modified by Konoha.

Sarutobi Hizashi glanced slightly sideways at the newcomer Hokage, who was still a little silent.

Watergate, this is your first great opportunity to make a difference.

Don't behave in a way that disappoints the old man.

Watergate finally sighed slightly:

"I'm sorry, Lord Miyome, but I'm a little hesitant."

Ape Fei Sun Slash chuckled:

"It's okay, it's your merit, Watergate."

"Just as everyone in the village loves you, so does the Hokage love everyone in the village, let alone his own students."

"Love is the foundation of your ability to take on the role of Hokage, and you must not abandon it."

Without waiting for the day to say the twist of the next sentence, Watergate silently replied:

"But a ninja is meant to endure what others can't endure, and this is especially true of the Hokage, right? Three generations of adults. ”

The smile on Ape Feiri's face was extremely gratifying: "That's right, Watergate, your understanding and determination have always made the old man extremely appreciative." ”

"You're going to be a great Hokage."

However, Watergate unconsciously whispered in his heart, 'understanding' and 'determination'?

I probably need to. I can't be sure of my determination at all.

His eyes turned slightly: "Lord Sandaime, about the situation over there at the root mentioned before."

Ri Chop frowned slightly, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Shuimen, I'll leave it to the old man to deal with it for the time being. You're not ready to do it with them. Preparation for the confrontation. ”

"I'll take care of it."

And. Rivals?

Shuimen could only nod and said, "Then please ask the third lord to work harder." ”

But when he said this, his heart couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Who do you want me to fight against?
