Chapter 5 Two people facing each other in tit-for-tat

The top floor of the Hokage Building, Hokage’s office

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was writing furiously at his desk, reviewing some reports, orders, and some events that happened in and outside the village.

Generally speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi is a competent Hokage when it comes to handling government affairs.

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped the cinnabar pen in his hand and flicked the documents with his fingers. The report he had originally flipped through moved back another page.

“Hatake Akira?”……”

After repeating Hatake Akira’s name in a low voice, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and fell into deep thought.

The report was submitted by a teacher from the Ninja School. It records the whole story of the conflict between Akira Hatake and Nou Shimura. In addition to restoring the scene as much as possible, it also tried its best to avoid any personal feelings.

Therefore, there is no question about the authenticity of this report. It is an extremely detailed retelling of the situation at that time.

As for why I watched Sarutobi Hiruzen again after I had skipped it, it was nothing more than this ordinary ninja school fight involving the Hatake and Shimura clans of Konoha.

Although there is no big problem at first glance, if you think about it carefully, the things behind it are big or small.

To put it more seriously, Hatake Akira’s serious injury to Shimura Noyu was an unauthorized attack on a fellow villager, which obviously violated the ninja regulations.

Then the impact of this incident is very bad. It must be recorded in Hatake Ming’s personal ninja file in the future. It will have some impact on his future promotion and assessment.

Even Shimura Danzo will use this as an excuse to put pressure on the Hatake family. Even if it cannot bring substantial losses to the Hatake family, it will still create a public opinion that is unfavorable to the Hatake family. wind direction

Obviously, this is what Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn’t want to see

Hatake Sakumo, the current leader of the Hatake clan, is a top-notch presence in Konoha Village in terms of merit and political influence.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen intends to let Hatake Sakumo take over as the fourth Hokage. The half Hokage sleeve hanging on his right arm is the best proof.

Although the Hatake family is slightly weaker, it is precisely because of this that it is easier to control, making Sarutobi Hiruzen trust him, and he can be said to be Sarutobi Hiruzen’s right-hand man.

And how could Hiruzen Sarutobi not know about Shimura Danzo’s peek at the position of Hokage?

Based on Sarutobi Hiruzen’s understanding of Shimura Danzo, he would never miss any opportunity to cut out or attack Sarutobi Hiruzen’s wings.

Sure enough, when Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking about how to calm down the matter of Hatake Akira seriously injuring Shimura Noyu, Shimura Danzo had already opened the door to the Hokage’s office and walked in with a gloomy expression.

“Sarutobi, I believe you already know about the bad incident that happened in the ninja school.” Shimura Danzo came up and went straight to the topic,”I want to know how you will deal with this matter.”

“How to deal with it is my business. Even if you are one of the three advisors of Konoha, you are not qualified to interfere in this matter.” Sarutobi Hiruzen looked worried, secretly thinking that he is afraid of what he wants.

“Sarutobi, the seriously injured person is the nephew of our clan, but you told me that I have no right to interfere?” Shimura Danzo sneered,”Then as the leader of the Shimura clan, I come here to ask you for an explanation. Is this correct? Problem?!”

“No problem.” Hiruzen Sarutobi lit up his pipe, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water was dripping from his face.

Soon, smoke filled the entire Hokage’s office. The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, falling into a state of silence in perfect agreement.

“Sarutobi, a person who doesn’t cherish his companions and fights against them is not worthy of becoming a ninja!”

In the end, Shimura Danzo was the first to speak because he was not good at cultivating qi.

“Well, there is nothing wrong with what you say. After all, it was Shimura Noyu who was seriously injured, not Hatake Akira.” Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke,”But you should read this report before drawing a conclusion.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen pulled out the report recording the whole conflict between the two and pushed it to Shimura Danzo.

The latter did not hesitate. After picking up the report and reading it, his face became slightly gloomy.

Shimura Noyu hid something from him, and Shimura Danzo himself was a little anxious. He didn’t investigate thoroughly, so he rushed over to grab Sarutobi Hiruzen’s sore leg.

The main reason is that Hatake Sakumo is really impeccable in his work. After finally encountering a not-so-good opportunity, how could Danzo Shimura give up so easily?

Even if it fails, it would be nice to disgust Sarutobi Hiruzen. After all, in Danzo Shimura’s opinion, the position of Hokage originally belonged to him, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is not as good as him!

“So what?” Shimura Danzo said disdainfully,”quarrels between companions often happen, but cannibalism has never happened. Isn’t this enough to explain the problem!”

“But this is the specific content of the dispute.” Sarutobi Hiruzen retracted the report,”Shimura Noyu’s words seriously destroyed the balance between family ninjas and civilian ninjas. The word”trash” is the proper way to address your companions. ?!”

“This……”

Shimura Danzo paused for a moment, and then wanted to continue, but how could Sarutobi Hiruzen give him a chance to continue using the topic?

“That’s the fact. No matter how much you say it, it won’t hold up.” Hiruzen Sarutobi made the final decision,”Shimura Noyu himself behaved inappropriately and frequently provoked Akira Hatake. He is responsible for his injuries.”

“However, since he was seriously injured, the above faults will not be held accountable. Although Hatake Akira, who caused Shimura Noyu’s serious injury, violated the ninja regulations, Nian believed that there was a reason for the incident and only recorded his behavior in the personal ninja file. The rest of the responsibilities will not be investigated”

“Hiruzhan, you!”

“Call me the Sandaime Hokage!” Hiruzen Sarutobi slapped the table,”Duanzo, just position yourself and do your job well. You’d better stay out of other things!”

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is at the end of his prime, still retains some of the tolerant spirit of his youth. Although he has already become a conciliator and a politician, he is still very tough at this period and can completely suppress Shimura. Danzo

After the decision was made, Shimura Danzo could only leave in anger, continuing to lurk in the darkness and waiting for the next opportunity to attack Hatake Sakumo.

After all, if you want to be Hokage, in addition to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hatake Sakumo, who is highly popular among the people, is also an extremely strong competitor.

“Hokage Guards?” Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted

“Sandaime Hokage-sama!”

Three members of the Hokage Guards used the teleportation technique to appear in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen in an instant, kneeling on one knee and waiting for the next order.

“Go and ask Shuo Mao to come over and tell him that I have something to ask him about.”

After accepting the order, the three members of the Hokage Guard used the teleportation technique to leave. After a while, they found Hatake Sakumo and notified him.

“Hokage-sama”

After a while, Hatake Sakumo, who was wearing the Hokage sleeve on his left arm, knocked on the door and entered the Hokage’s office. He bowed respectfully to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“Sakumo, look at this report”

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his arm to signal Hatake Sakumo to stand up, and then handed him the report just now.

“Sakumo, you are my designated successor as the next Hokage. No one in the village can match your achievements and skills, but there must be darkness under the sun, and you still have to pay attention to many things.”

When Hiruzen Sarutobi said this, it was undoubtedly a clear sign. He told Hatake Sakumo and Shimura Danzo that he was secretly trying to get him.

“I understand, I will restrain and discipline Akira and Kakashi after I go back”

“I’m very pleased that you can understand, but you should also pay attention to other places.” Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his eyelids,”I can still suppress Shimura Danzo now, but it is impossible to do everything. You have to do this even more. clear……”

Without waiting for Hatake Sakumo to answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand,”Go, I still have a lot of things to do here, remember not to criticize Akira too harshly, he is a good boy”

After leaving the Hokage’s office, Hatake Sakumo sighed, looked back at the closed office door, and then left with a teleportation technique.
