Chapter 175 Chapter 173: Sandaime, it’s time to rest

"This is really surprising, Hiruzen."

The old man with gray hair took a sip of sake and turned his eyes to his old friend who still looked young compared to them.

Another female old man did not move her chopsticks or drink alcohol, she just smiled and said:

"Well, it's rare that Hiruzen is finally free. There's nothing wrong with getting together occasionally."

"But... there should be one of us who hasn't arrived yet?"

The two old men are naturally the two elders who have been serving as advisors to the Hokage since the Second Generation period, Mito Monobu and Koharu.

However, the attitudes of the two of them seemed a bit subtle at this time.

The Sandaime Hokage has been in a high position for a long time and has taken over all the power, so much so that the other three Konoha senior officials are slightly dissatisfied with this matter, among which Danzo is the most vehement.

Otherwise, when the Iwa Ninja War comes to an end, the third generation will not be forced to resign.

But even if he stepped down, the third generation would still not let go of any power in the name of 'guiding' the new Hokage.

The handwriting of the three paragraphs is all different, as if they were written by three different people.

But in the end, he let out a deep breath and pulled the scroll away.

Didn't you feel anything before?

When Hiruzen's momentum is strong, the other three people need to hug each other for warmth, otherwise power may fall into the pocket of one of them sooner or later.

It's not a record, it's just like a letter, but someone sent him a message.

The third generation glanced at the tribesman in the dark, and his face was unclear.

She looked at the old man who had lived in the highest place in Konoha for half his life.

He clearly didn't drink much, but the Sandaime seemed a little drunk.

"Sandaime? Sandaime-sama, what are you doing?"

The first two sentences.

Minato and Orochimaru?

There was a moment of silence in the room, and the drunken old man suddenly held his wife's withered palm with his other hand.

"I want to use fire escape to light my cigarette, haha. I'm old and can't control my hiccups."

As soon as these words came out, the two elders were shocked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his old and frail wife, and suddenly smiled like a child: "You are the only one who will not really abandon me. Hiccup. Right?"

"Hiruzhan, it seems that your guidance to Minato is indeed necessary. We were negligent before."

Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted in his heart, these two old friends of his were both honest people.

"Well, calm down. Even though Danzo has always been unscrupulous in his actions, we both know that his original intention is also for Konoha."

"Hiruzhan, what do you mean?"

If you don't have enough means, how can you really protect Konoha!

you!!!

Well done!!!!!

Mito Menyan also put down the cup in his hand, frowning and saying nothing.

"What are you doing!!! What a fool! I will go find medicine for you right away."

But the Sandaime Hokage laughed loudly: "No, I think that guy won't come tonight."

The two senators were both shocked.

"For treason, you should have died long ago"

Just do it!

The content on the scroll caused the pipe on his lips to fall to the ground.

It's okay for you, Hiruzen, to decide the next Hokage yourself. After all, Minato is a pure, kind-hearted and highly accomplished person, so he is the perfect candidate to succeed Hokage.

In this way, the four of them should be on the same side.

Minato, it turns out that I let you down?

Orochimaru.

The task I gave him.

The last one, the task of supervising Danzo to prevent him from misbehaving?

Who can believe that these two senators have no dissatisfaction in their hearts?

The remaining embers of the fire fell on the tatami beneath him, and traces of smoke gradually emerged.

The originally black hair suddenly turned snow-white from the roots.

He grabbed the bundle of scrolls and burst out a flame from his mouth.

Hiruzen said no more and just drank the sake in his glass quietly.

But he finally called Sarutobi Biwako, the wife of the Sandaime-sama.

"Hiruzen! What on earth do you mean?!"

Hiruzen smiled softly: "I, the Third Hokage, will not have a seat at the meeting, so I can only leave this matter to you two."

The confidant sighed helplessly, the third generation's drinking capacity and taste were really getting worse than before.

How much did you drink just now?

The young cronies of the clan finally smelled the smell of fireworks and rushed into Sandai's study.

You don't do this!

How can I leave Konoha in your hands with confidence!

After Xiao Xu fell silent, she gently wiped away the impurities from the corners of his eyes and said calmly: "Old man, let it go."

How many more

How many more?

The two senior advisors looked at each other for a moment, and their tone gradually softened.

What you have done now is far more satisfying than I expected!!!

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was hoarse and low.

Hiruzen closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking for a long time.

But now, it is the young people in the village who are not yet sensible enough to gather together to cause trouble.

The Sandaime grabbed the bundle of scrolls, feeling increasingly uneasy.

'Sandaime-sama, you don't have to dirty your hands anymore.'

Who is this third person?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a long time, and some cold moonlight splashed in the room, as if every breath was robbing the old man of his remaining time.

However, when the old man with a slightly red face sat firmly at the desk.

I am just testing whether you are really determined to become the Hokage of Konoha.

Today you young and careless people dare to gather together to liquidate Danzo.

What about tomorrow?

Whose turn is it?

Everyone pondered for a moment before Mito Monoyan finally spoke:

Is this happening?

'Danzo's crime of treason is unmistakable, and there are both personal and material evidence. He refused to surrender and intended to rebel. He has been executed, and the remaining members of the party who refused to surrender died with him.'

I wonder if it’s because he is truly heartbroken over Danzo’s evil deeds, or because he is devastated by the separation of his old friend?

And what was written at the end of the bundle of scrolls couldn't be simpler.

without him,

However, this uneasiness became reality at this moment.

"If it is unavoidable, we will also propose to the Daimyo to add an additional audience seat to help Konoha overcome this difficulty."

It is as if he is unable to cough up the phlegm and dampness in his chest due to his old age and long-term smoking. He looks pitiful and cannot bear to look directly at him.

But in the old man's throat, there seemed to be a strange sound like "Ke, Ke, Ke".

The three of them raised their glasses and drank the contents in one go.

The scroll that was attacked by the flames eventually turned into ashes, and the remaining parts were crushed to pieces by the old man.
