Senju Clan land.
"As expected of Namikaze Minato, the legendary yellow flash."
"This efficiency is really amazing."
Senju Takuya looked at the information scroll in his hand, and Jōnin couldn't help but smile.
Last time, after he handed Rasengan to Namikaze Minato, Namikaze Minato set out the next day.
In less than half a month, he took back the attacked properties again.
and,
Senju Takuya also specially sent people to set up many stations in various industries and along its routes.
The purpose is to facilitate Namikaze Minato to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The effect is also obvious.
No matter where there is a problem in the industry, Namikaze Minato can arrive in the shortest time.
"Takuya."
Just when Senju Takuya was watching with gusto, a pleasant voice sounded.
"Kushina?"
Seeing Uzumaki Kushina, Senju Takuya patted his thigh.
Uzumaki Kushina did it skillfully.
"Why did you come here at this time?"
Senju Takuya held Uzumaki Kushina in his arms and asked with a smile.
"Oh... be more careful with your hands."
"In broad daylight...ah...pervert!"
Faced with Senju Takuya's clumsy tactics, Uzumaki Kushina struggled for a few times, but in the end she had no choice but to compromise.
"This is Kakashi's letter to you."
"Kakashi?"
Senju Takuya frowned after hearing Uzumaki Kushina's words.
He remembered,
Last time,
Hatake Kakashi said that he wanted to bring Hatake Sakumo to visit him.
But,
It's been so long, and Kakashi hasn't come yet.
He has been busy making people and handling business matters recently, and he really forgot about it.
Opening the letter, Senju Takuya's frown deepened.
Hatake Kakashi wrote in the letter that due to some family matters, the apprenticeship may have to be postponed for a while.
"Sakumo-sama has had something happen recently."
"So...Kakashi probably won't come over recently."
Uzumaki Kushina whispered.
"Something happened?"
Senju Takuya's heart sank after hearing Uzumaki Kushina's words.
Could it be...
Did Hatake Sakumo choose to abandon the mission in order to save his teammates?
Senju Takuya vaguely remembers the ins and outs of this incident.
Probably, during a mission, Hatake Sakumo chose to give up the original mission in order to save his companions.
After returning to the village, instead of being grateful to Hatake Sakumo for saving his life, the companion accused Hatake Sakumo of not giving up the mission for him.
Said Hatake Sakumo is the sinner of Konoha!
He doesn't deserve to be a ninja at all.
at last,
Even many villagers began to be very dissatisfied with Hatake Sakumo's behavior.
Under the pressure of public opinion, Hatake Sakumo finally chose to commit suicide.
However, Senju Takuya really cannot remember the time when Hatake Sakumo committed suicide.
"Sakumo-sama failed the mission for the sake of the lives of his companions."
"Many people in the village are scolding him for not being worthy of becoming a ninja."
"Recently, Sakumo-sama's door has been crowded with people every day."
Uzumaki Kushina slowly told the information she knew.
Hearing her words, Senju Takuya nodded.
This is indeed the case.
It seems that
It won't be long,
Hatake Sakumo will commit suicide.
"no."
"I have to check it out."
"Sakumo can't have any problems."
Senju Takuya decided to go see it for himself without much thought.
It's such a shame that a strong man like Hatake Sakumo died like this.
Not to mention,
He also hopes that Hatake Sakumo will train his subordinates in the future.
"Takuya, you don't have to worry too much."
"Nothing will happen to a good ninja like Sakumo-sama."
Uzumaki Kushina said with relief.
Hatake Sakumo,
He is currently the most prestigious ninja in Konoha Village except for Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Not only that Anbu commander is also allowed to wear Hokage half sleeves.
Possessing Kage-level strength, he has made countless contributions to Konoha.
With a pair of short blades, he killed the ninjas in the enemy village to the point of fear.
A strong person who can grow to this point must be impeccable in terms of will and strength.
Even if you are being criticized by everyone now, there won't be any problems, right?
"You do not understand."
"You don't have to wait for me for dinner."
...
Hokage Building.
Hokage office.
"snort!"
"Hiruzen, I didn't expect you to do this."
Shimura Danzō looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and sneered.
Sure enough, as he thought, his old friend was far from being as noble as he appeared on the surface.
Thinking of this, Shimura Danzō became even more angry.
Obviously everyone is the same, why can't he be the Hokage?
If he can become Hokage, he must do better than Sarutobi Hiruzen!
"Danzo, I don't understand what you're talking about."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly.
"Can't understand?"
"What happened to Hatake Sakumo, was it you who instructed Sarutobi Daishou to do that?"
Shimura Danzō sneered.
He didn't believe that without Sarutobi Hiruzen's instruction, Sarutobi Daishou would be so bold!
"Daishou did this, it was indeed my instruction."
"I just wanted to warn Sakumo."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of cigarette and said slowly.
In front of Shimura Danzō, he had no need to hide anything.
Before letting Hatake Sakumo go on the mission, he specifically told him that no matter what happens, the mission must be the top priority.
but,
Hatake Sakumo did not do this,
Instead, he chose to give up the mission and rescue his teammates.
This made Sarutobi Hiruzen very dissatisfied.
he thinks,
Hatake Sakumo was disobeying his orders.
originally,
He was a little wary of Hatake Sakumo's current reputation.
After some thought,
He decided to take this opportunity to give Hatake Sakumo's prestige a good blow.
"snort!"
"What a hypocritical guy."
Shimura Danzō snorted disdainfully.
"Danzo, why are you taking action on your own again?"
Being ridiculed by Shimura Danzō, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little uncomfortable and quickly changed the subject.
"Of course it's the same purpose as you."
"Hatake Sakumo...has become a little difficult to control."
Shimura Danzō said with an indifferent expression.
Hatake Sakumo is Anbu's commander.
Not only he is powerful, but he also has high prestige.
Another powerful figure in Konoha.
The most important thing is that Hatake Sakumo is in his prime.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen abdicates, Hatake Sakumo will undoubtedly be the strongest contender for the next Hokage.
This is what Shimura Danzō doesn't want to see.
so,
After seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions, he sent his ninjas to "propaganda" in Konoha.
Judging from the current situation, the effect is very good.
Hatake Sakumo has gone from being an Anbu commander who can wear a Hokage half-sleeve to a loser that everyone shouts about!
In this way, Hatake Sakumo is destined to miss the Hokage's position in the future.
"Danzo, let this matter go. You are not allowed to act without my order in the future."
"Remember, I'm the Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzō and said coldly.
"snort!"
"Hiruzen, if I became Hokage, I would do better than you."
Shimura Danzō was unconvinced by the air.
After saying that, the two of them smiled tacitly.
Whoever the Hokage is, this village...must be under their control.
No one is an exception!
