Konoha 62 at the end of winter.

"Welcome to the next scene~"

Amid the warm calls of the welcoming guests, outside the door of the Konoha branch of the Robin Cinema, Kakashi walked out,

"Ah~ Fooled......"

Kakashi looked at the "Intimate Raiders: Signed Edition" in his hand, and a look of helplessness flashed in the eyes of a pair of dead fish.

"Intimate Raiders", the heroine is played by the famous Fenghua Xiaoxue of the Snow Country.

However, compared to the identity of the other party's small country daimyo, the stage name of Fuji Fengxuee is even more famous.

A young girl full of beautiful and elegant temperament can be said to be the biggest talk in the ninja world recently.

But compared with "Princess Fengyun", a movie that was at its peak when it debuted, the movie adapted from "Intimacy Raiders" had a mediocre response.

"Obviously, Lord Jiraiya has been restrained enough this time, why do you want to cut off the wonderful part of it? That's the essence of what Jiraiya-sama wants to express! ”

Kakashi scratched the back of his head, feeling very sorry in his heart.

The movie tickets in the front row cost a few hundred taels, and Robin Productions didn't understand art at all.

However, scolding and scolding, the theater is still full, and it seems that it still makes a lot of money.

"Alas......"

Not knowing what to remember, Kakashi suddenly sighed.

"I won't have time to be so leisurely in the future."

Xiao Li and Tian Tian Ningji have already graduated, and Akai has even seen blood with the three of them, and it won't be long before Naruto and they will graduate.

Even if Kakashi thought about it with his toes, he knew that the three generations of Hokage would not let him be idle.

The most suitable person to be the teacher of Naruto and Sasuke to lead the team, except for Jiraiya-sama, it is him Kakashi Hagi.

But there's not much need to do that.

One has already preliminarily learned the immortal art of Miaomu Mountain, and has basically inherited the mantle of Lord Jiraiya, and the other has inherited the sealing technique and wind escape ninjutsu of the Uzumaki clan, and has even become a perfect nine-tailed human pillar force.

Without moving all his strength, Naruto and Sasuke are five-five.

Kakashi even felt that the strength of the two of them had surpassed that of himself as a shinobi.

I can't think of any other student who would be suitable to team up with them.

It would be a complete waste of time to let them start with the lower shinobi.

“…… Forget it, let's go ask it. ”

After thinking for a moment, Kakashi casually stuffed the "Intimacy Raiders" into his ninja bag and walked in the direction of the Hokage Building.

If he could, he didn't want to be the leader of the team.

Especially don't want to be the two perverted leaders of the team.

Moments later, Kakashi was soon in the Hokage Building.

However, when he saw the "second-hand smoke" coming out of the crack in the office door, he twitched out of the corner of his eye and immediately stopped.

“…… Looks like someone is more worried than I am. ”

The smoke was squeezing out of the office, and you can imagine what it was like inside.

That's when it happened.

Katsa!

Yin Luka, whose face was flushed, opened the door and walked directly out of the office.

The moment he came out, he closed the door and breathed heavily, looking like he was living for the rest of his life.

"Teacher Yin Luka, you are ......"

Seeing Kakashi in front of him, Yin Ruka showed a wry smile.

"Good afternoon, Kakashi Kashinobu."

The two glanced at each other, and Kakashi immediately understood the bad mood of the three generations of Hokage, nodded and walked to the corridor with Yinruka.

Away from the Hokage's office, Yin Luka breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The atmosphere just now was really scary, I was almost out of breath. ”

Kakashi asked softly, "What's wrong with Hokage-sama?" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Yin Ruka sighed with a wry smile: "Asma Shangshinobu quarreled with Hokage-sama again, the temper of the two of them, alas, you know ......"

Hearing this, Kakashi's expression was abrupt.

"Asma still hasn't found her jade?"

Asma, as the second son of the three generations of Hokage, has a concept that does not fit in with his father, which can be called a deviant.

He was questioning whether the Shadow should exist, and even whether the Will of Fire was correct.

However, after all, it is a family matter and a conflict of ideas between father and son, and it is impossible for their subordinates to say anything about it.

"This time it doesn't seem to be the same as before."

Yin Luka shook his head, and said with doubts in his tone; "In the past, when the two of them quarreled, Asma Shangshinobu was dumbfounded by Hokage-sama, and then he was so angry that he pushed the door straight out."

"Although I still don't understand what Asma Shangnin means, he can actually argue with Hokage-sama a few times."

"I feel that Asma Shangnin seems to have found his 'jade'."

At that time, he was discussing Naruto's graduation exams with the three generations of adults.

As a result, Asma Kamishinobu didn't even knock on the door, and directly yelled and broke into the Hokage's office.

What "military restructuring" is still being shouted in his mouth, what "the Hokage and the daimyo should not be separated", what "civilians and ninjas are grouped together"......

Anyway, Asma Shangnin said a lot, but as a "teacher", he didn't understand it at all.

But looking at Hokage-sama's appearance of slapping up and his old face flushed, I'm afraid it's some kind of rebellious and deviant remarks.

He stood inside in a state of anxiety for half an hour, and Hokage-sama was only concerned with teaching Asma Shinobu a lesson.

Until the quarrel between the two completely fell into a cold war, one with a cigarette in his mouth and the other smoking a cigarette.

The entire Hokage's office was covered in mist, and he finally didn't hold back his cough before he remembered to let him out of the office.

"Alas, so many bizarre and bold ideas, I don't know where Asma Shangnin learned it."

Yin Luka sighed and said, "I always feel that the burden on the Hokage-sama is getting heavier and heavier, if we can decide on the candidate for the fifth generation Hokage as soon as possible, this situation may be much better now." ”

He smokes constantly every day when he is physically and mentally tired, for fear of becoming the first "shadow" to smoke or die of overwork.

"Then it can only depend on whether Tsunade-sama is willing or not."

Kakashi shrugged his shoulders and replied, "We're just subordinates, just do our job and try not to worry Hokage-sama." ”

The issue of the five generations of Hokage in place is indeed a major event for Konoha.

Although Kakashi is not keen on positions of power, it is inevitable that some sensitive topics will still be heard for a shinobi of their level.

And what the top brass thinks on this matter is not something that is difficult to guess.

Orochimaru, one of the three shinobi, is already Konoha's enemy.

Jiraiya has a detached personality and doesn't care about political affairs, so he is not very suitable for the position of Hokage.

Kakashi couldn't imagine what Jiraiya-sama would be like when he became Hokage.

Perhaps, all bathhouses will be converted into open-air bathhouses?

It's entirely possible for this kind of absurd thing to happen.

All, the only person who has the ability and prestige to serve as the fifth generation Hokage, and only Tsunade Hime, the last of the three ninjas, is qualified.

As for the rest, they were either too old, too young, or not qualified enough to take on the position of Hokage.

"But ......"

Kakashi thought to himself, "If the Konoha higher-ups knew my current strength, they would probably have put me in the candidate for the fifth generation Hokage." ”

It's a pity that he didn't dream of becoming the Hokage.

If he had to say anything, he wanted to find the masked man who called himself "Madara Uchiha" now.

If you break that guy's mask with "Purple Electricity", see what kind of face is under that mask.

"By the way, Kakashi Kamishinobu almost forgot."

Yin Ruka turned his head and said, "Hokage-sama told me that Naruto and Sasuke's leading shinobi should be yours." ”

"Ah, is that so? I don't know what Hokage-sama thinks......"

Kakashi scratched his head, a little distressed, "It looks like I'm going to be a babysitter for the three imps again." ”

The orphan of the Uchiha clan, plus the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, and a from a civilian background......

Thinking of this, Yin Ruka's gaze at Kakashi couldn't help but be filled with pity.

"It's a bit of a headache, do you want to talk to Hokage-sama?"

These two are hot potato-level existences, and the rest of the Shangnin will be afraid to avoid them when they hear it.

In the middle of the two monsters, plus the Sakura Haruno, this combination makes people's scalps tingle just thinking about it.

"I'm not stupid enough to touch Hokage-sama's head at such a time."

Kakashi looked helpless and said as if comforting himself, "Forget it, anyway, there is only one person who needs guidance, so I'll treat it as a paid vacation." ”

Of course, he understood why Hokage-sama had chosen himself.

In the entire Konoha area, the one who has the time and strength to take on this task is currently estimated to be the only one Kakashi.

"Hehe, thank you for freeing me."

Yin Ruka smiled and patted Kakashi on the shoulder: "For someone with mediocre talent, those two little monsters are too torturous, it might be better to be a genius like you." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Kakashi's mouth twitched, and finally swallowed back the words of complaining.

In fact, it's the same for everyone.

The difference is that he's already rotten.

Isn't it just being slapped to death on the beach by the back waves?

It's also a blessing to be able to shoot death with Jiraiya-sama.

………………

At the same time, inside the mist-shrouded Hokage's office.

Looking at Asma's stubborn posture, Ape Fei Ri took a deep breath: "...... Can't you just listen to me once? ”

Asma lowered her eyelids, didn't raise her head, and said in a low tone, "I've said everything I want to say, can I leave now, Hokage-sama?" ”

Sarufei Asma is just as fond of shogi as Nara Shikaku, and he is also a person with a rough appearance and a delicate heart.

From a very young age, from the moment he was introduced to shogi, there was a problem that plagued him.

There are a total of eight types of shogi.

They are jade generals, flying cars, horn lines, incense cars, gui horses, silver generals, gold generals, and infantry.

The 3 rows that are close to oneself are the "main formation", and the 3 rows that are far away from oneself and close to the opponent are the "enemy formation"

And the jade general is the core of it, once the "jade" is checkmated or trapped by the other party, then this side represents failure.

Assuming that the Land of Fire is a "honjin", then "Jade" is the Hokage or the Daimyo?

One chessboard, one "main array", how can there be two "jades" at the same time?

Hokage or Daimyo, which of the two is superfluous?

Over time, this thought did not disappear in Asma's mind, but grew stronger and stronger.

This also makes Asma look-for-tat every time she meets her father.

Finally, after a face-tearing quarrel, he gave up his status as the second son of the Hokage, chose to leave the village and devote himself to the Daimyo's mansion, and became the guardian ninja of the Daimyo, just to see who was the "Jade".

But in the eyes of the third generation of Hokage Sarutobi Sun, as the second son of the Hokage, he questioned whether the Hokage should exist, and this idea was contrary to Konoha's will, and he was already a traitor to the will of fire.

"Asma, although I don't know where you learned these crooked theories, your current ideas are really very dangerous for Konoha."

"I don't want you to continue to be decadent, and I don't want to see my son turn away from the Konoha where he is."

After a pause, Ape Feiri sighed, and his tone softened: "Asma, can you go home for dinner at night?" ”

“…… You're still giving me orders as Hokage. ”

After being silent for a long time, Asma frowned: "After returning to Konoha, I thought I could see an ambitious shinobi, but what I saw was just a dying old man. ”

】

The father who used to have ambition and ambition in his memory has now become an old man with stubborn thoughts and dying.

"Maybe what I said to Ma is not entirely unreasonable."

The radical faction, led by Kazuma, among the Guardian Ninja Twelve, believes that the Fire Country cannot be handed over to Konoha who has become cowardly.

He wants to turn Konoha's military power into a military agency centered on the daimyo, and even to wage war against other countries, unify the ninja world, and attempt to directly launch a coup d'état and kill the three generations of Hokage.

Therefore, the Guardian Ninja Twelve, including Asma, began to kill each other because of differences in ideas.

Now only Asma and Jilu are left among the Guardian Ninja Twelve, and in the end, he chose to return to Konoha in frustration.

"If you still don't understand me, just assume that what I just said is a fart."

Asma turned around and said expressionlessly: "If there is nothing else, the subordinates will retire first." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Ape Fei Ri to say anything, Asma left the office directly.

Watching Asma's back disappear in front of him, Ape Fei Ri lit a match with a sad face.

The trembling hands tried three or four times before finally lit the cigarette in their mouths.

"Whew! Ahem! Ahem, ahem!

”

He scrambled to take a sip.

But he choked so much that he almost coughed up his lung tubes, and coughed so much that there were a little more tears in the corners of his eyes.

Sarutobi felt as if something was clogging in his throat, and after putting down his pipe, he coughed violently for a while before gradually relieving himself.

He stood up with his hands behind his back and looked out the window with a faint gaze.

Looking at the peaceful Konoha, he felt powerless.

It's been a long time since I've felt this bad.

It was the first time since Naruto had become a perfect human pillar force that Sarutobi had been so uncomfortable.

As the Hokage, he is already somewhat unqualified.

But as a father, he is no less qualified.

Sarutobi really couldn't understand why the second son, who grew up in Konoha since childhood, questioned whether the Hokage and the Will of Fire should exist.

As a ninja of Konoha, should he protect the "jade" of Konoha in the first place?

"Obviously I just went out and did a mission, why...... Alas......"

For a long time, Ape Feiri slashed a thousand words in his heart, and finally it only turned into a sigh.
