Chapter 198 Danzo and Hiruzen's Argument
After Hiruzen Sarutobi had digested the information for a while, Shingetsu Seiun continued, "So, now Yekura can no longer return to Sunagakure."
""
"Hokage-sama, what do you think about introducing Pakura to Konoha? Would that be feasible?"
"Coming to Konoha?" Hiruzen Sarutobi came to his senses.
"you mean--"
Shingetsu Seiun: "I came to Konoha to be an ordinary ninja, and I make a living by taking on some missions."
"Or open a small shop."
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent. He composed himself as he pondered.
Coming to Konoha to become a ninja—there seems to be no precedent for this.
It's hard to say whether opening a small shop to make a living will be successful.
Firstly, since the other party was a ninja from another village, Konoha couldn't possibly be unprepared. Secondly, it depends on Sunagakure's reaction.
Setting aside his chaotic thoughts, Hiruzen Sarutobi voiced his doubts.
"They want to come to Konoha?"
"That doesn't make sense!"
Shenyue Xingyun: "That makes sense."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "What logic is that?"
Shenyue Xingyun pointed to his face, implying that the truth lay there.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless.
"We need to consider this matter carefully."
"The most important thing right now is to end the war as soon as possible; we can talk about that later."
Shenyue Xingyun thought that would work too.
Hiruzen Sarutobi should be stepping down soon, then I'll talk to Minato about it.
"Lord Hokage, what are your plans for me next? Continue transporting supplies?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "No."
"I've already arranged for someone else to transport the supplies; you have a new assignment."
"Go to the northern front."
Shenyue Xingyun: "The Northern Front?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Yes. There's a more important mission at the Cloud Village battlefield."
"Minato will explain the specifics to you."
Shingetsu Nebula: "Shall we set off now?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "There's no rush. You can rest at home for a couple of days first."
"Take Asuma and Kurenai with you. If there's anything you need to do, you can let them handle it, and you'll be in charge of the command."
"Understood, Hokage-sama."
"It's nothing, I'll take my leave now."
After leaving the Hokage's office, Shingetsu Seiun found Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai.
"The Hokage said we'll have two days off first."
Sarutobi Asuma was taken aback: "Huh?"
"You called us back just for this? Isn't there more important news?"
Shenyue Xingyun looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What news could be more important than a holiday?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said it's not too late to rest at home for two days, so it's not too late.
Whether the other party is genuinely not in a hurry or just being polite, since the leader has agreed to the leave, then take it without hesitation.
After the three of them left the Hokage building, the door to the Hokage's office was opened, and Danzo walked in without saying a word.
His face was somewhat dark.
He wanted to join the conversation as well, but Hiruzen Sarutobi had refused him beforehand.
The reason is: Don't think I don't know what you did before. Those two ninjas have only just recovered from their injuries, right?
"Don't get involved in the affairs of the Divine Moon Nebula."
Seeing him enter the house, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned: "Why haven't you left yet?"
Danzo: "I have a few more ideas about the Shingetsu Nebula."
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand: "Forget it. It's wartime now, I don't have time to listen to your ideas."
Danzo was momentarily speechless, then he asked, "What about Yoko?"
"I think we can make things happen regarding Yekura's desire to come to Konoha."
"If you hand her over to me, I can make her serve Konoha."
"Alright," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Stop talking."
"I will handle these matters."
"Besides that, there's one more thing."
Danzo: "What is it?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "You should know what I'm doing."
Danzo: "I don't understand what you're saying."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared directly into Danzo's eyes and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Uchiha."
"I have received news that the Uchiha clan has suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield recently."
"This can't go on any longer."
Danzo: "What does this have to do with me?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Did I say it had anything to do with you?"
Seeing that Danzo remained silent, he continued, "The Uchiha are also members of the village."
"The village cannot stand idly by while the Uchiha clan suffers excessive casualties on the battlefield."
Danzo snorted coldly: "This has nothing to do with me. You should talk to Orochimaru."
"His tactics were too aggressive. Also, Fugaku Uchiha wholeheartedly supported Orochimaru, and the deaths and injuries of his clansmen were his own choice."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his old friend and said quietly, "Are you sure it's alright?"
Perhaps provoked by Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze, Danzo's expression immediately became even more unpleasant.
He shouted angrily, "I said no, and that's final! Don't you believe me?"
"Besides, the important thing right now isn't my problem; your problem is much bigger."
"Konoha has gained nothing from this war so far."
"The Northwest Front, under Orochimaru's leadership, initially achieved some victories, but now the battle has become stalemate, and casualties are beginning to rise."
"The results of battles in Sunagakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure, which are currently engaged in combat, cannot be considered optimistic for any side."
"And all of this is because of you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression immediately changed: "What are you talking about?!"
Danzo: "I didn't say anything."
"You're just too hesitant about the bigger picture. The war is now at a stalemate, with heavy casualties on all sides. How do you plan to face the people in the village after the war?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
That's enough.
"Stop talking."
"Take your roots with you and do what you should do."
"I don't need you to teach me how to become Hokage."
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's rare loss of composure, Danzo was initially pleased, but his expression changed slightly when the words "Hokage" were uttered.
He looked up at Hiruzen Sarutobi, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing, only snorted coldly, and walked out of the Hokage's office.
"Bang!" Danzo slammed the door shut, glancing at the Hokage's office and inwardly grumbling.
Hiruzen, Hiruzen, continue to enjoy your time as Hokage.
"When the war ends and you step down, when I become Hokage, I will treat you with dignity."
Two-day holiday.
Time is a bit tight.
Shenyue Xingyun tried her best to arrange the time well, taking into account everyone's emotions and ensuring that a certain amount of time gaps were reserved to avoid unexpected events.
For example, on the first night, Shenyue Xingyun finished her day of dating and returned home to rest when she found someone blocking her door again.
Mao Yue sunset.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "I came back in a bit of a hurry, I was planning to go see you tomorrow."
Uzuki Yugao: "Really? You're not just saying this because I asked you, are you?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "I'm telling the truth. How could I possibly lie to you?"
"That's more like it." Uzuki Yugao was finally satisfied.
-
Actually, she was very angry before she came to find Shenyue Xingyun.
Every time he comes back, he schedules his girlfriend's time first. When it's her turn, he doesn't even give her a heads-up.
Is it just because the two of them haven't officially defined their relationship?
This made her want to directly establish a relationship with Shenyue Xingyun, but then she hesitated.
Because neither of them is a boyfriend or girlfriend — it's actually quite exciting.
Upon seeing Shenyue Xingyun, she was somewhat satisfied with his answer and put the atmosphere out of her mind.
"Come on, let's go to the little bamboo house."
