Chapter 234 Asuma and Hiruzen’s Rebellion

The end of Konoha 62, winter.

"Welcome to the next stage~"

Amidst the enthusiastic shouts of welcome, Kakashi walked out of the door of Mockingbird Cinema Konoha branch,

"Ah~ I've been fooled..."

Kakashi looked at the "Intimacy Guide·Signed Edition" in his hand, and a look of helplessness flashed in his dead fish eyes.

In "Intimacy Strategy", the heroine is played by Fenghua Koyuki, a famous figure in the land of snow.

However, compared to the identity of the other small country's daimyo, the stage name of Fuji Fuyuki is more famous.

A young girl brimming with beauty and elegance can be said to be the biggest talking point in the ninja world these days.

But compared to "Princess", a movie that was at the peak of its debut, the movie adapted from the novel "Intimacy Strategy" received a mediocre response.

"Jiraiya-sama has obviously restrained himself enough this time, so why cut off the exciting parts? That is the essence of what Jiraiya-sama wants to express!"

Kakashi scratched the back of his head and felt very sorry.

The movie tickets in the front row cost hundreds of taels, and Mockingbird Productions doesn't understand art at all.

However, despite the criticism, the theaters were still full and it seemed that it was still making a lot of money.

"well……"

Not sure what he was thinking of, Kakashi suddenly sighed.

"There will be no time for such leisure in the future."

Xiao Li, Tenten Ningji and the others have graduated, Akai has even seen blood with the three of them, and it won't take long for Naruto and the others to graduate as well.

Even if Kakashi thought about it with his toes, he knew that the Third Hokage would not let him relax.

The most suitable person to be the teacher for Naruto and Sasuke, besides Lord Jiraiya, is Kakashi Hatake.

But there is absolutely no need to do that kind of thing.

One has already initially learned the senjutsu of Mt. Myoboku, and has basically inherited the mantle of Master Jiraiya. The other has inherited the sealing techniques and wind release ninjutsu of the Uzumaki clan, and has even become a perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.

Without using all their strength, Naruto and Sasuke were evenly matched.

Kakashi even felt that the strength of the two of them had surpassed that of himself as a jounin.

I can't think of any other students who would be suitable to form a team with them.

Letting them start as genin is a complete waste of time.

"...Forget it, let's go and ask."

After thinking for a moment, Kakashi stuffed the "Intimacy Strategy" into his ninja bag and walked towards the Hokage Building.

If possible, he didn't want to be the leader of the team.

Especially I don't want to be the leader of those two perverted jonins.

After a while, Kakashi quickly arrived at the Hokage Building.

However, when he saw the "second-hand smoke" coming out of the crack in the office door, his eyes twitched and he immediately stopped.

"...It seems that someone is more worried than me."

The smoke has been squeezed out of the office, and you can imagine what the scene is like inside.

at this time.

Click!

Iruka, whose face turned red, opened the door and walked out of the office.

The moment he came out, he closed the door and started breathing heavily, looking like he was surviving the disaster.

"Teacher Iruka, what are you..."

Seeing Kakashi in front of him, Iruka smiled bitterly.

"Good afternoon, Kakashi Jounin."

The two looked at each other, and Kakashi immediately understood the third Hokage's bad mood. He nodded and walked to the corridor with Iruka.

After being far away from the Hokage's office, Iruka breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "The atmosphere just now was so scary, I almost couldn't breathe."

Kakashi asked softly: "What's wrong, Hokage-sama?"

After hesitating for a moment, Iruka sighed with a wry smile: "Asuma Jōnin had another quarrel with Hokage-sama. Their tempers, well, you know..."

Hearing this, Kakashi showed a look of surprise.

"Asuma still hasn't found his jade?"

Asuma is the second son of the Third Hokage, but his ideas are incompatible with those of his father. He can be called a deviant.

He is questioning whether "Shadow" should exist, and even whether the Will of Fire is correct.

However, after all, it was a conflict between father and son's family affairs and ideas, and it was impossible for their subordinates to say anything about it.

"This time seems different from before."

Iruka shook his head and said with doubt in his tone, "When the two of them quarreled before, the Asuma jounin was silenced by the Hokage, and then he became so angry that he pushed the door open.

"

"Although I still don't understand what Asuma Jounin means, he can actually argue with Hokage-sama for a few times."

"I feel like Asuma Jounin has found his 'Jade'."

At that time, he was discussing with the Third Generation about Naruto's graduation exam.

As a result, Asuma Jounin didn't even knock on the door, but just barged into the Hokage's office yelling.

He was also shouting about "military restructuring", "Hokage and daimyo should not be separated", and "civilians and ninjas should be integrated into one body"...

Anyway, Asuma Jounin talked a lot, but as a "teacher", he didn't understand anything.

But looking at the way the Hokage-sama jumped up and turned red, I'm afraid it was some kind of treasonous and deviant statement.

He stood there uneasily for half an hour, but the Hokage only focused on teaching Asuma a lesson.

Until the quarrel between the two completely turned into a cold war, one was smoking a pipe and the other was smoking a cigarette.

The entire Hokage's office was shrouded in mist, and he finally managed to cough before he remembered to let him out of the office.

"Sigh, I don't know where Asuma Jounin learned all these weird and bold ideas."

Iruka sighed and said: "I always feel that the burden on the Hokage is getting heavier and heavier. If the candidate for the fifth Hokage can be decided as soon as possible, the current situation may be much better."

He smokes continuously every day when he is physically and mentally exhausted, fearing that he will become the first "shadow" to smoke or die from overwork.

"Then it all depends on whether Tsunade-sama is willing or not."

Kakashi shrugged his shoulders and replied: "We are just subordinates. We just need to do our job well and try not to make the Hokage worry."

The issue of the Fifth Hokage's appointment is indeed a major event in Konoha.

Although Kakashi is not keen on power status, for jonins of their level, it is inevitable that they will hear some sensitive topics.

And the thoughts of the senior officials on this matter are not difficult to guess.

Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, is already an enemy of Konoha.

Jiraiya has a detached personality and ignores political affairs, so he is not suitable for the position of Hokage.

Kakashi couldn't imagine what Jiraiya-sama would do to Konoha after he became Hokage.

Perhaps, all bathhouses will be converted into open-air bathhouses?

Such ridiculous things are entirely possible.

All in all, the only person with the ability and reputation to serve as the Fifth Hokage is Tsunade Hime, the last of the three ninjas.

As for the rest, they are either too old, too young, or not qualified enough to be qualified for the position of Hokage.

"but……"

Kakashi thought secretly in his heart: "If the top management of Konoha knew my current strength, they would probably also put me on the list of candidates for the Fifth Hokage."

It's a pity that he didn't have the dream of becoming Hokage.

If anything, he now wants to find the masked man who calls himself "Uchiha Madara".

If you use "Purple Lightning" to break that guy's mask, let's see what face is underneath that mask.

"By the way, Kakashi Jounin, I almost forgot."

Iruka turned his head and said: "The Hokage-sama told me that you should be the leader of Naruto and Sasuke."

"Ah, is that really the case? I don't know what Hokage-sama thinks..."

Kakashi scratched his head and said with some distress: "Looks like I have to be a nanny for three little ghosts again."

The orphan of the Uchiha clan, plus the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and a nymphomaniac who was born as a commoner...

Thinking of this, Iruka couldn't help but look at Kakashi with pity in his eyes.

"It's indeed a bit of a headache. Do you want to talk to Hokage-sama?"

These two are hot potato level beings, and the other jounin would avoid them if they heard about them.

Between the two monsters, plus the nymphomaniac Haruno Sakura, this combination makes people's scalp numb just thinking about it.

"I'm not stupid enough to get into trouble with Hokage-sama at this time."

Kakashi looked helpless, and said as if to comfort himself: "Forget it, there is only one person who needs guidance anyway, so I will treat it as a paid leave."

Of course he understood why Hokage-sama chose him.

Among the entire Konoha, Kakashi is probably the only one who has the time and strength to take on this task.

"Haha, I also want to thank you for setting me free."

Iruka smiled and patted Kakashi on the shoulder: "For a person with mediocre talent like me, those two little monsters are too torturous. It might be better if it were a genius like you."

Hearing this, the corners of Kakashi's mouth twitched, and finally he swallowed his words.

In fact, it's the same for everyone.

The difference is that it's already ruined.

Wasn't it just being beaten to death on the beach by the back waves?

It is also a blessing to be able to shoot death with Jiraiya-sama.

………………

At the same time, inside the Hokage's office shrouded in mist.

Looking at Asuma's stubborn attitude, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath: "...Can't you just listen to me once?"

Sarutobi Asuma lowered his eyelids, without raising his head, and said in a low tone: "I have said everything I want to say, can you leave now, Hokage-sama?"

Sarutobi Asuma likes shogi as much as Nara Shikaku, and he is also a rough-looking person with a delicate heart.

From the time he was very young, from the time he came into contact with shogi, there was a problem that bothered him.

There are eight types of chess pieces in Shogi.

They are Jade General, Flying Chariot, Jiao Xing, Xiang Chariot, Gui Ma, Silver General, Gold General and Infantry.

The three rows close to you are the "own formation", and the three rows far away from you and close to the opponent are the "enemy formation"

And Jade General is the core of it. Once "Jade" is checked or trapped by the opponent, then this side represents failure.

Assuming that the Land of Fire is a "main formation", then is "Tama" the Hokage or the Daimyo?

How can there be two "jades" in a chessboard and a "main formation" at the same time?

Naruto or Daimyo, which one of these two is superfluous?

As time went by, this idea did not disappear in Asma's heart, but grew stronger and stronger.

This also makes Asma look tit-for-tat every time she meets her father.

Finally, after a heartbreaking quarrel, he gave up his status as the second son of Hokage, chose to leave the village and join the Daming Mansion, and became the twelve guardian ninjas of the Daiming, just to see who was the "Jade Lord".

”.

However, in the eyes of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the second son of Hokage, he questioned whether Hokage should exist. This kind of thinking was contrary to the will of Konoha, and was completely regarded as a betrayer of the will of fire.

"Asuma, although I don't know where you learned these fallacies, your current ideas are really very dangerous for Konoha."

"I don't want you to continue to be decadent, and I don't want to see your son deviate from Konoha where you are."

After a pause, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, and his tone softened: "Asuma, can you go home for a meal tonight?"

"...You are still giving me orders as Hokage."

After a long silence, Asuma frowned: "After returning to Konoha, I thought I would see an ambitious Shinobu, but all I saw was an old man."

The father who was once ambitious and ambitious in his memory has now become a stubborn old man who is on his deathbed.

"Perhaps what that fellow Kazuma said is not completely unreasonable."

The radical faction headed by Kazuma among the Twelve Guardian Ninjas believed that the Kingdom of Fire could not be handed over to Konoha, which had become cowardly.

They want to turn Konoha's military power into a military organization centered on the Daimyo, and even launch wars against other countries to unify the Ninja world, and attempt to directly launch a coup and kill the Third Hokage.

Therefore, the twelve guardian ninjas, including Asuma, began to kill each other because of their differences in ideas.

Now only Asuma and Chiriu were left to protect the Twelve Ninjas. In the end, he chose to return to Konoha out of frustration.

"If you still can't understand me, just think what I just said is fart."

Asma turned around and said expressionlessly: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After saying that, Asuma left the office directly without waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen to say anything else.

Watching Asuma's back disappear in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen lit a match with a sad face.

It took his trembling hands three or four attempts to finally light the pipe in his mouth.

"Phew! Cough! Cough! Cough!!"

He hurriedly took a deep breath.

But I choked so much that I almost coughed out my lungs and coughed so much that tears formed in the corners of my eyes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt as if something was blocked in his throat. After putting down his pipe, he coughed violently for a while before he gradually recovered.

He stood up with his hands behind his back and looked out the window dimly.

Looking at the peaceful and peaceful Konoha, I feel powerless.

I haven't felt this uncomfortable for a long time.

This was the first time that Sarutobi Hiruzen felt so uncomfortable since Naruto became the perfect jinchuriki.

He is already somewhat unqualified as Hokage.

But as a father, he is also unqualified.

Sarutobi Hiruzen really couldn't understand why his second son, who grew up in Konoha, would question whether the Hokage and the Will of Fire should exist.

As a ninja of Konoha, should we protect the "jade" of Konoha?

"Obviously I just went out on a mission, why... alas..."

For a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a thousand words in his mind, but in the end they just turned into a sigh.
