Chapter 1174

When they were bored, they came to eat ramen under Naruto's instigation.

Seeing the ramen shop that was so busy that it was a headache, Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a particularly good mood.

The hope of the new generation.

Of course, before leaving, he said a belated apology to Naruto, which surprised the little yellow-haired boy.

"That person was disguised, and his strength... was very strong."

Sasuke's face was a little solemn.

It was really not easy for him to say that he was very strong now.

Shikamaru lazily said not to mind his own business.

"During the war preparation period, Asuma was accompanied by a senior ninja. The order must have been issued by the Hokage Building."

"From his attitude, this person's identity must be not simple, but he is trustworthy."

"So, have a good meal."

Shikamaru was relieved after suppressing his friend's curiosity.

The strange old man treated Asuma like his son, which was too scary.

The scary father and son finally walked to the front of the Hokage Building.

Looking at the gallows erected high in the small square, the old man's mood was extremely complicated.

"Danzo is... here..."

"Yes."

He looked at the newly renovated Hokage Building again.

"Why does it feel shorter? And the material is also ordinary."

When it comes to understanding the Hokage Building, no one is more familiar with it than this old man.

"It was renovated in a hurry. It was the most chaotic period at that time. Kakashi asked someone to reprint it casually."

"When the war was completely over, it was felt that it was just an office location and there was no need to show any majesty, so it was not renovated."

Besides, the Hokage Building used to have another function to seal mission files, personnel files, and top-secret information such as the Sealed Book.

The current Hokage Building has been stripped of these functions, and the top-secret information is placed in the holy space.

After all, the Sealed Book was like toilet paper in the past, and anyone could tear it a few times. The so-called confidentiality measures only prevented ordinary village ninjas.

The Root, Black Zetsu, and Noah all have their own ways of reading books.

The advantage of placing it in the holy land is that the summoned beasts can become the first line of guard, and the leaders of the three holy lands are all at the level of Kage.

The ability to sense and detect the power of nature is also stronger than that of ordinary ninjas.

More importantly, the alien space cannot even find special life forms like Black Zetsu, so the safety factor is several levels higher.

If the holy land cannot be defended, Konoha can also choose to put the data on the moon.

But it is very inconvenient to use it that way.

At this time, the Hokage Building is just a pure office location and task receiving and dispatching place.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, most of his memories in life are related to this small building. Now even this place has changed, and there is really nothing to remember.

Go to the last place.

"Let's go to the memorial."

The large and small tombstones and familiar names in front of him made the Third Hokage feel extremely painful. He apologized and bowed one by one, enduring the heart-wrenching pain.

He can remember every ninja here.

When confirming the list of casualties, it was the saddest time for the Third Hokage.

"If I could accept the new will of fire earlier..."

When seeing Hatake Sakumo, Shinobi finally let his tears fall.

When the ninja sacrificed their village, they still had some fire will to cover it up. Only Sakumo's malicious intent was truly unconcealed.

Do you regret it? Regret it.

"I'm sorry."

This was the apology Kakashi wanted to hear but didn't hear.

In this quiet cemetery, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to his son seriously.

"Asuma, you did a really good job."

"A ninja who has not been influenced by me since childhood and walks his own path seriously... is very handsome... that's what young people say."

"You must be careful to assist Kakashi. No matter how talented you are, there will be omissions. Konoha does not belong to the Hokage alone."

"Remember, you must protect your village and family in the future."

"Don't always hit your children when educating them in the future. Respect their opinions."

"And..."

After rambling for a long time, he disappeared in an instant.

Leaving behind a middle-aged man with a beard crying like a child.

Asuma knew that his father would never come back.

On the Shadow Rock, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned again.

"Let's go to the Iron Country."

Chapter 165 War is inevitable

In the Iron Country.

A meeting that attracted the attention of everyone in the ninja world officially began.

The Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei began to tell how the Fourth Mizukage colluded with foreign forces and led Kirigakure to a road of no return with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The power of language is not enough, so...

"Bubble, Chojuro.

Take out the evidence found in the village and show it to the kages."

There are letters, data records, and a large amount of other evidence and confessions.

It even includes the problems of the Third Mizukage period. As early as the end of the Third Mizukage, Kirigakure was already in danger of being led by the enemy.

This woman tore off the faces of the first two Mizukages and threw them on the ground, stepping on them. She was so cruel.

All kinds of perfect evidence pointed to the fact that the mastermind behind the scenes had little connection with Kirigakure, and Kirigakure was still a victim.

The words vaguely pointed to the Third Hokage of Konoha doing the most heinous things, and even the death of the Fire Country Daimyo should be mainly responsible.

Ohnoki couldn't help but admire the little girl's clever methods.

The evidence was prepared in less than a week.

Even when it was circulated among several Kages, no flaws were found for a while, it was exactly the same as the real thing.

Of course it was real, this was all the evidence left by Sarutobi Hiruzen himself, each piece of information was extremely detailed and could withstand inspection.

And Kakashi just rolled his eyes and threw it back.

"Regarding the matter of the Fourth Mizukage Yagura becoming Sarutobi Hiruzen's accomplice, the Hidden Mist Village is willing to provide certain compensation.

Even as the Fifth Mizukage, I am willing to personally express my deepest apologies to the next Fire Country Daimyo."

He was very humble, with an attitude of what else do you want from me, which was really difficult to deal with.

But Kakashi was still very cold.

"Someone must be responsible for the death of the daimyo, otherwise there will be no explanation to the country.

I only saw the fourth generation Mizukage Yagura assassinate the daimyo without any illusion control.

It is impossible that the Kage of a village can really shrug off the relationship after killing the daimyo.

If he is not the Mizukage, why did he come to Konoha? Why did he have the opportunity to get close to the daimyo?

Didn't Kirigakure say that Yagura was the most successful Mizukage in history a few years ago? Today, he denies it.

It's ridiculous.

Besides, it was still in the Iron Country, by the lake.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen questioned the Akatsuki organization on behalf of your three eastern countries, this attitude was not the same.

That questioning fully represented the will of your three Kages.

How can I believe you."

The past memory jumped out and punched Ohnoki and others.

Now think about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the bad guy, was really good at disguising himself.

Of course, they were not good birds, so they got together to fight a very stupid war and lost.

Ohnoki saw that the key point of this Hokage now is not how good his relationship with the daimyo is.

The Mizukage's move was very clever, involving Sarutobi Hiruzen, the former third-generation Hokage.

Everyone knows that the relationship between the Fire Country Daimyo and the Hokage is very tense because of Kakashi's promotion.

Now Chunchun wants to pass the buck. Is there a problem within the Fire Country?

For a current Hokage, it may not be a good thing.

Moreover, Kakashi's attitude is problematic. His persistence in war has violated the will of fire promoted by Konoha.

Ohnoki's little head began to spin wildly.

War...!!!

I understand!!!

Indeed, some things can only be transferred through war to divert domestic conflicts.

I think the internal hidden dangers in Konoha Village are the same as those of their villages. They are so serious that they can no longer be covered up.

The disadvantages brought by rapid development are emerging.

The open and secret struggles between the old nobles and the rich businessmen are no longer concealed, and bloody assassinations occur from time to time.

The instinctive expansion of the new class is devouring land, rights, and distribution rights.

The confrontation between the common people and the nobles has reached the point of bloodshed, and they are fighting for their own interests under the instigation of capitalists.

What's more, they continue to expose the meaning of the existence of the daimyo and the so-called sacredness of the structure to ordinary people.

Even the contradictions between the daimyo and the nobles can no longer be eased.

I don't know why, there are so many contradictions, but the daimyo has never come out to mediate.

A master who can't fight for the interests of the nobles, can't reconcile domestic contradictions, and greedily takes away most of the means of production is about to be abandoned by his own class.

Many domestic contradictions will eventually involve the special group of ninjas.

Guarding, assassination, and investigation are the most common tasks for ninjas.

As a military organization, the Hidden Village is also at the center of the storm.

Ohnoki and others also have a hard time dealing with it. The interests are moving.

So a thorough war is what the five countries want to do.

The only point of dispute is time. One side wants to delay time, and the other side wants to start immediately.

Ohnoki, who has seen through the mind of the Hokage, has a wisdom in his hands.

After a quick glance, he felt a sense of superiority in intelligence.

The Mizukage just kept talking about Yagura, the Raikage was like a fool and just wanted to fight to the death with the Hokage, and the Kazekage probably didn't understand anything.
