In silence...

Senshou Tobirama subconsciously smiled at his wife and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"..." In the dark night, Ochiha Uchiha, who has excellent eyesight, looked at her husband's "ferocious smile" that no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a decent and good person. He stopped talking for a moment and asked, "What are you...

Have a nightmare?"

"...No." Senju Tobirama didn't want to worry his wife, and he didn't want to tell her about his dreams. She was still pregnant, so he should be responsible for such disgusting things alone.

"He said no..." Uchiha was speechless and took out a spare handkerchief from under the pillow. He raised his hand to help her husband wipe the sweat from his forehead. "This is obviously a terrible nightmare. So, what on earth did you dream about?"

?" She was very curious as to what made him so excited. Could it be that, "Did you dream that your elder brother exported the entire Senju clan?"

Senju Tobirama: "???" Oh... that's really a nightmare... Just imagining it for a moment made him want to get up immediately, drag his eldest brother out of bed and beat him up.

Uchiha: "..." Hiss... the smile seems to be more ferocious... Hey, Tobirama is fine everywhere, but sometimes his smile is a bit scary. So she comforted and said, "It's okay, it's okay... Even if you are a big brother,

If you really put it out, I will be responsible for winning it back!" She had also accompanied Chise-san and played cards with Sachiko and the others several times before, and found that her gambling luck seemed to be very good, and Brother Hashirama almost cried with envy.

Senju Tobirama: "..." He recalled some memories for a while, and he must admit that the feasibility and success rate of this matter are actually quite high. After all... she is completely opposite to her eldest brother in this regard. It can be said that

A woman favored by the "God of Gamblers".

In addition, he really didn't want to explain too much, so he assumed that his eldest brother took the blame. Anyway, the latter made a lot of mistakes every day, and he didn't care about one more mistake.

(Senju Hashirama:???)

Thinking of this, his smile softened a bit, he raised his hand and touched his wife's soft and warm face, looked at her gently and said, "Well, okay." After a pause, he added, "Sorry for the noise.

Wake you up." Pregnant women obviously need extra rest, so what is he doing... Hey.

"Don't say that." Uchiha raised his hands and hugged her husband's neck, then moved closer to his arms, raised his head and kissed his chin gently, which was not irritating at all because of his daily care.

He chuckled and said, "It's normal for people to have nightmares. Besides, you can't control them. Well, it's getting late. Don't think about it. Dreams are the opposite. Just keep sleeping."

"...Hmm." Qianju Tobirama's hand touching his wife's face slid down to her straight and soft back, stroking back and forth silently. The originally angry and depressed mood was wrapped in her gentle and warm breath.

Under the circumstances, it gradually calmed down.

He thought from the bottom of his heart: Well, she is so good, so it is natural for such a good woman to be fought over. However, these things are by no means her problem. If she wants to blame, she can only blame those outside who do not know their own abilities.

Wild cats and dogs, tut.

Thinking like this, he slowly closed his eyes. At the same time, he thought from the bottom of his heart: Yes, I made a mistake before, but I have sincerely admitted my mistake and regretted it. So, even if I have those dreams, can't you treat me right?

Better?

For example, make a...

A sweet dream of staying and flying together with her in some other world?

...Tsk, in short, even if you don’t have any dreams, you should stop having those disgusting nightmares.

The silver-haired man thinking this way fell into sleep little by little, and then...

He dreamed again.

The beginning of this dream was a bit bad.

Because he was already the second-generation Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village at the beginning, and having obtained certain memories, he naturally knew what this meant, and it meant...

mean--

"In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since the death of Shodaime-sama."

"Yeah... before I knew it... I remember that the Shodaime-sama passed away last winter. In the blink of an eye, autumn has come this year too."

"Nidaime-sama's Kage Rock was completed not long ago."

"Yeah, but... the recent situation doesn't seem to be very good."

"Who says it isn't? It feels like it's been a long time since I saw Nidaime-sama patrolling the streets in his spare time like he used to."

"It's normal. He's too busy. It's said that Tobirama-sama comes to the Hokage Building very early every day and doesn't go back until the early morning of the next day. Sometimes he even spends the night in the office for several days in a row."

"Hey, if this continues, even if Tobirama-sama is a strong ninja, how can he bear it..."

"It's normal. The situation outside is so bad, so..."

"cough!"

Accompanied by such a reminder sound——

The few people who had just been chatting while walking with documents in their arms suddenly fell silent, and then they all moved out of the way and bowed down to salute.

As expected...

About ten seconds later, the silver-haired Hokage wearing a Hokage hat and a white god robe walked past quickly, followed by his two disciples - Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.

Everyone in Konoha Village knows that the Second-generation Hokage has six disciples, all of whom are from ninja families in the village. These six people are -

Uchiha mirror,

Sarutobi Hiruzen,

Danzo Shimura,

Mito Menitis,

Go to sleep in spring,

And, autumn road captures the wind.

Not long after the village was founded, they, who were still children at the time, were accepted as disciples by Senju Tobirama. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and the children they once were have become the young people they are today.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that one of these six people will probably succeed Hokage in the future, and currently, there are three relatively outstanding people among the six people. Two of them are the two who are following Senju Tobirama at the moment, and the remaining one is not here at the moment.

Uchiha Kaoru here, but because of his last name and some "village past", his position is a little awkward. But he himself doesn't seem to care about it very much. He always has a smile on his face and respects his teacher's requirements.

He carries out his orders to the letter, is extremely friendly to his companions, and is also quite friendly to the rest of the village. Therefore, he can be regarded as lovable, and he can be regarded as the "face" of the current Uchiha clan.

At this moment, the reason why Uchiha Kagami is not taken by Senju Tobirama is also very simple. He has other things to do. At least for now, the latter does not show obvious bias among his disciples. It can be said that everyone is treated equally.

Furthermore, the silver-haired Hokage always hides his thoughts very deeply, and few people can guess what he is thinking.

Or rather...

The person who knew him best in the world had left this world last winter, forever.

After that, Senju Tobirama became very busy. On the one hand, it was due to the inevitable situation, and on the other hand, he thought it would be better to be busier. If he was busier, it would be less easy for people to recall the past and have random thoughts.

Therefore, he very decisively compressed his time, "spending" part of it on his important family members, and the other part on his disciples and work. In contrast, he only had two days of rest time left for himself every day.

Three hours. It sounds like a small amount, but it’s enough, well, it’s enough.

Anyway, even if he hints to himself "I want to have a good sleep today" before going to bed, he will basically wake up in two or three hours. In addition, he is a very strong ninja and has a strong ability to restore energy through short-term sleep, and

, is also particularly good at preparing various energy-restoring potions.

Back to business.

At this moment, he was taking two disciples to the ANBU.

Because today is the day for a new round of selection of ANBU members. The full name of ANBU is "Assassination Tactics Special Forces". According to Konoha's rules and regulations, it is directly responsible to the Hokage. Therefore, logically and logically, he is not responsible for this important day today.

should appear.

Theoretically speaking, ANBU members should be appointed by him personally after choosing them, and the number should be controlled within a reasonable range. However, the current situation is special. In fact, not only ANBU, but other departments are rapidly expanding under his orders, so as to prepare for possible

Prepare for the coming war.

Of course, even under such a premise, today's selection was conducted through a round of screening in advance. After all, if you want to join the ANBU, you must first be an elite. In fact, his six disciples have also joined the ANBU for training, just because of the rules and regulations

, each has a different code name, mask, and is prohibited from revealing each other's identities. Even if they recognize each other when performing tasks together, they can only continue to call each other's code names knowingly. There is no other reason, but as ninjas, they must be perfect.

Obey and carry out orders.

Of course, today, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are following Senju Tobirama as disciples, not ANBU, so they do not need to wear ANBU uniforms or ANBU masks.

Not long after.

Senju Tobirama arrived at his destination. After sitting down on the seat that the ANBU had prepared for him, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Let's get started." His time was very tight, so he didn't have much time to do anything.

"Inspiring speech".

"yes!"

Senju Tobirama has been the Hokage for almost a year. The people below have long been accustomed to his style of doing things. They are not surprised by his decision and dare not have any objections. And to be honest, many departments in Konoha have been set up.

With his contribution, he even assisted the First Hokage Senju Hashirama for many years, how could others not be familiar with it.

Senju Tobirama casually picked up the brief information of the candidates participating in the selection and read it. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo who were standing aside did not look away and did not look at it because this was not what they should care about.

Senju Tobirama lowered his head and flipped through the information quickly. In fact, he had already looked through the rough list of people in the office before. To be honest, the identities and backgrounds of many people in these information were quite suspicious, but,

It's okay, because he did it on purpose.

First, the coming war needs people;

Second, the spies in the village must have tried their best to infiltrate various important departments in Konoha;

Then, he would simply open a channel to gather these people.

Everyone takes what they need. These people need a "infiltration achievement", and he believes that instead of letting the backbone of the village be loyal to the village as cannon fodder in the war, it is better to let these people go.
To be continued...
