"I heard that you've been wandering around the Root Headquarters with a few people lately."

Hokage Building,

In the Hokage's office,

Sarutobi sat leisurely behind his desk, holding a pipe in his hand, and stared at Shimura Danzo sitting in front of him.

Although troublesome things appeared one after another, his expression was much more relaxed than before.

"Danzo, do you understand what 'suspension' is?"

Sarutobi asked in a slow voice, "I don't meddle in the affairs of the village anymore, I don't have any authority or ability, just like a retired ninja, I can't even take on entrusted tasks, do you understand?" ”

"Others have this idle time, and they must not secretly enjoy it."

"You're fine, you're suspended, you don't have any business documents sent to the root headquarters, and you're still sitting there, why bother?"

Shimura Danzo's face was gloomy, and he just wanted to open his mouth to refute.

But when he noticed the figure sitting beside him, a bad thought rose in his heart, and he paused to retort to his lips, "Our Shimura clan are fighting for Konoha, and there are only a few families left. ”

"This time I went to the border battlefield, and I went to a lot of people, and I don't know how many people can come back."

"Many people in the clan are complaining about me, the head of the family, dedicated to Konoha and ignoring the life and death of the people in the clan, I don't want to go back and face those accusatory eyes, it's good to stay in the root headquarters."

"Alas......"

Ape Fei Ri sighed, "You are loyal and dutiful to Konoha, I understand. ”

"But people should serve the old, you see that my temples are gray now, and I am exhausted, and I don't know how many days I have to live."

"Tuanzang, you better have a good rest."

As he spoke, he looked at the white-haired middle-aged man sitting next to Tuan Zang, with a long-lost smile on his face, "There have been a lot of things in the village recently, although you have been suspended, the people in the root can't rest at home all the time." ”

"It just so happens that Zilai has returned to the village, so it's better to hand over the next root matter to Zilaiye."

"He grew up with you and me, in terms of ability, you can rest assured that he will never live up to your expectations."

Shimura Danzo's face froze, and the anger in his heart was uncontrollable, and he was almost about to scold.

But before he could speak, the dissatisfied voice next to him sounded first, "Old man, I said that I would go back to the village this time to prevent the scale of the war from expanding, and there is no manpower in the village to send out." ”

"Why are you still messing around with me."

"It's not proper, I'm used to being idle alone, and I can't get such a big position as the root commander."

This dissatisfied voice made Shimura Danzo's words swallow directly into his stomach and pierce his heart!

"Jiraiya, you're also a member of Konoha Village."

Sarutobi didn't even look at Shimura Danzo's face, and persuaded Jiraiya bitterly, "Now that the village is in trouble, shouldn't you help and do what you can?" ”

"So I'm back."

Jiraiya clasped his hands on his chest and sat impatiently in his chair, "If the war expands, I can accept the order and set foot on the battlefield." ”

"But what do you mean now you want me to rule the roots?"

"I don't take this position anyway, isn't Orochimaru also in the village? You let him go, so that he doesn't have to have a gloomy face all day and study some mess. ”

Sarutobi continued to persuade, "Orochimaru has other important things to do, related to the future of the village. ”

"Isn't it just to let you command the root in order to expand the battle situation in the future, and when you are ordered to go to the battlefield, you can have some manpower to help."

"While there's still time, you can run in with them."

And Shimura Danzo, who was almost ignored by the two, that hot heart was already cold.

Jiraiya did not hesitate to refuse again, "Don't persuade me, old man." ”

"I really can't do the task of the roots."

"Even if Konoha needs me to do my part, I will bring a team of people into the battlefield with dignity, those secret pickles...... Ahem, I haven't done the work in the dark, and I can't do it. ”

He really didn't understand how the old man could send him such a task.

Not to mention the roots, he has never even entered the dark part.

Not before, and not now!

"You ......"

Ape Fei Ri was about to say something, but he glanced at Tuan Zang next to him and coughed lightly, "Tuan Zang, if you don't have anything to do, just retreat first." ”

"You are also the patriarch of the Shimura clan, in addition to the roots, you also have to pay attention to the family."

"Population problems, every family has had in the past, you don't have anything to do lately, just to learn about how other people's families are managed and developed."

Shimura did not speak, let alone respond.

Silently got up and turned to leave.

This time, he didn't say anything to persuade again, let alone refute anything.

But in this regard, although Ape Fei Ri Slash was a little surprised, he didn't care.

"When I left the village some time ago and went to Kyoto City, I stopped by to find Tsunade."

Ape Fei Ri took a deep breath of his pipe and swallowed the clouds, "My teacher personally went to invite her, but she didn't give any face." ”

"Hokage's seat, don't say anything."

"It's so bad that I, an old man who is about to die, have to hold on to my body and continue to sit."

Hearing this, Jilai's impatient face froze directly, "Old man, don't say such things, you are only in your fifties, and you still have a lot of time." ”

With that, he left his chair and was about to stand up, "Well, it's nothing, I'll go first." ”

"I haven't been back to the village for a long time, so I have to go to the bathhouse to take a bubble bath first."

"I'm almost old, and I have back pain every day before I go to bed."

But before he could stand up straight, Ape Fei Ri had already snorted coldly, "Sit down!" ”

"Impossible, impossible."

Jiraiya stiffened his face, waved his hand and walked towards the window, and got up and sat directly on the windowsill, "You just need to say a word, let me inherit your mess, and I will leave immediately." ”

"Stinky boy!"

Listening to Jiraiya's comparison of the Hokage's position to a mess, Sarutobi looked at him with hatred and hatred.

But since the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, sitting by the windowsill is not moving.

However, after Shimura Danzou left, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two of them was obviously relaxed and relaxed.

Sarutobi sighed helplessly, "I know that neither you nor Tsunade want to sit in this position, and they don't want to face those black and gray things, but how can people be happy all their lives." ”

"Why can't it be?"

Jilai also muttered, "I have traveled to the ninja world in the past few years, and I don't know how happy I am to be a writer." ”

"That's because Watergate carried it down for you!"

Ape Fei Ri scolded, "If it weren't for your dedication as a master, teaching a few hands and patting his ass and leaving, how could he sit in this position at a young age, if he could have a few more years of experience, he wouldn't be ......."

Speaking of this, facing the apprentice's gloomy face, he didn't say any more.

"It's my fault."

Jiraiya muffled admitted, "But I'm not going to do this Hokage." ”

"I'm not even a ninja right now."

"I've been away from the village for so many years, I've seen so many things, I don't know how to follow orders as a true ninja, and I have too much persistence in my heart that has been formed during this time."

"If the content of the mission goes against my heart, I will definitely disobey the order."

"Is this what I have the ability to be a Hokage? No way. ”

His face was devoid of the naturalness of the conversation he had just had.

Zilai did not refute Watergate's death, and it was also related to himself.

Because logically speaking, Watergate should not have sat in this position at such a young age.

Although, becoming the Hokage is also Watergate's dream.

But he was really at fault in this matter.
