Although the words are rude, in fact the relationship between the two is still good.

Otherwise, Ye Ying would not have given up the position of Hokage to Sarutobi.

Taking a sip of tea, the Third Hokage sat comfortably on the tatami, turned his head and looked at the courtyard outside and the almost unchanged furnishings indoors, secretly feeling sad.。

“Now that you are back and the incident with Danzo is over, what are your plans next?”

“Intend?”

“That's right, you don't really just plan to work as a consultant, do you? I see you have been busy these days.。”

“What, you have an opinion?”

“Of course not, they are all your former students and comrades-in-arms. You have just come back, so there will be no problems with some interactions. "

Ye Ying glanced at Sarutobi and said politely.。

“Since I have no problem with this, is there anything wrong with you paying too much attention to it? "

Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly startled, pressed the brim of his hat, and whispered a reminder.。

“Your series of actions after your return have caused a lot of pressure on some people, so it is natural for you to pay a little attention to you. I hope you don't mind. "

Ye Ying sneered.。

“pressure? If there is nothing wrong with me, what are they afraid of me doing?。”

“Um, that's not what you said, Ye Ying, the village needs stability and peace. They think your return has made the village a little unstable....”

“Not very stable? Is Danzo stable?”

“...”

Ye Ying rolled his eyes at Sarutobi. He knew that Sarutobi just wanted to be a peacemaker.。

“Sarutobi, go tell Men Yan and Koharu that they are old. Their eyes have become blurred and their brains have become stupid after being in high positions for so long. It’s time to stay at home and enjoy their old age. They can’t even judge the most basic situation. Clearly, you still have the nerve to lick your face and act as a consultant? "

I didn't expect Ye Ying to be so dissatisfied, Sarutobi hurriedly comforted him。

“Men Yan and Xiao Chun are just thinking about the safety of the village, don’t get me wrong. "

Ye Ying sneered at Sarutobi's statement.。

“Doubtful internally and weak externally, this is what they are, and you, how do you think you can be any better? Where is the Sarutobi who used to be indomitable, responsible, capable and courageous? ! "

Sarutobi opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer Ye Ying.

After so many years, Sarutobi has seen too much and experienced too much.

The passion he had when he and Ye Ying were fighting outside have long since faded. Countless complicated trivial matters and intertwined family interests have polished his temperament without any edges. He

wants to cover everything, but leaks are everywhere.

This is why Danzo is dissatisfied with him. He has no choice but to put those things into consideration. All the dark side was left to Danzo, who was responsible for most of the dark political struggles within the village and outside.

But what I didn't expect was that Danzo secretly did so many things that exceeded Sarutobi's own limits.

If it weren't for Ye Ying Revealing Danzo's true face in one fell swoop, I'm afraid Sarutobi would still not be able to detect it even if he had suspicions. Even

if he did, he might turn a blind eye and let him go due to his friendship with his old comrade. Well.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He is really old.

Seeing Sarutobi like this, Ye Ying said coldly。

“In the past, Konoha, under the leadership of Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sensei, controlled the ninja world. Which ninja village dared to provoke? It is not an exaggeration to call him the overlord of the ninja world. But if you look at yourself, you are looking forward and backward, afraid of this and that. In the end, you don’t even know that your disciple and Danzo are mixed together. What about Orochimaru? You really Do you think he can do it alone? ! Doesn’t Danzo have a share? And you, are you really not aware of it at all?”

“...”

“Jiraiya didn't want to come back, Orochimaru was forced to leave, Tsunade left, the Uchiha clan was alienated, and Hatake Sakumo committed suicide...All outstanding talents were forced to stay away from Konoha by you and Danzo. The once prosperous Konoha Village has been reduced to the point where any ninja village dares to covet them. You are really a good Hokage! "

Ye Ying's words were very serious. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who spoke directly, lowered his head deeply.。

“Ye Ying, me...”

“What are you, Sarutobi, I know what you are thinking, but I tell you, not doing anything and letting Danzo do those bad things is your biggest fault. It's better now. You still want to restrain me. It seems that you don't want to either. Am I staying in Konoha? If that's the case, I, Ye Ying, will leave.。”

“No, no, no, don't be impulsive, Ye Ying, I really don't mean that.。”

“Humph, I’m sorry you don’t dare either!”

“...”

Sarutobi could only keep smiling bitterly. Facing Ye Ying's usual strength, he was really uncomfortable now.

Ye Ying looked at Sarutobi coldly and said calmly。

“Didn't you go find Tsunade? Just wait. When Tsunade comes back to take over as the Fifth Hokage, the first thing she will do is to cancel this so-called elder group. You, Men Yan, and Koharu can support themselves together! "

After Sarutobi was silent for a while, he sighed softly.。

“I don't have any problem. As for Men Yan and the others, isn't there any room for change?”

“Sarutobi, I am not negotiating with you. Moreover, letting them retire and retire is the greatest tolerance for them. Of course, if they feel dissatisfied and want to tussle with me, then don't blame me for not talking about what happened back then. A little love。”

“Ye Ying, why do you say so decisively? You want to clear some obstacles for Tsunade's governance after taking office?。”

“So what, it has become an obstacle, why do you still have the nerve to stay?”

“...That's what you said. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly. He finally understood the emotions that Tobirama-sensei expressed openly and secretly at the party that night. He,

Sarutobi Hiruzen, really can no longer be promoted to the Hokage of Konoha.

Be steady and steady. This is true, but blindly giving in and compromising, trying to cover everything...

Did the Third Ninja War destroy all his bones?。

“I understand what you mean, but fortunately you are back, and it is time for me to enjoy my retirement life. "

Originally, I wanted to be a peacemaker and persuade Ye Ying to restrain his aggressive temper, but unexpectedly, I was scolded by Ye Ying from beginning to end. Maybe, I was really wrong. I saw Sarutobi feeling very

guilty

. , Ye Ying also felt unhappy.

In fact, Sarutobi was not as unbearable as he said.

But if he didn't use a heavy hammer to beat the drum, it would be difficult for Sarutobi to make up his mind.。

“Men Yan and Koharu, let them retreat before Tsunade comes back, lest anyone say that Tsunade does not miss her old friendship and disrespects her elders.。”

“...no problem。”

“The Council of Elders has been disbanded. As for how to announce this matter, that is your business.。”

“and you...”

“I? You care about me so much。”

“Alas, find a time for us, the only remaining old guys, to sit down and have a good chat.。”

“up to you。”

“Thank you for the tea, it was very nice。”

“That's what the fourth generation left behind。”

“...”

Seeing Sarutobi's somewhat forlorn figure gradually move away, Ye Ying sighed in his heart.

Sarutobi, I'm sorry, you and the elders must loosen their power, otherwise Tsunade will be tied up and unable to move.
