Rated Hokage

night.

When Chuncha returned home, she found that her younger sister hadn't fallen asleep. She was lying on the sofa in the living room reading a book. She was wearing a thin nightgown, and her two fair and tender feet were dangling there, as if she was right. Reading with relish.

Hearing the sound of the door, Xia sat up from the sofa.

"Sister, you are back."

"Um."

With deep exhaustion on Chun Cha's face, she replied feebly.

"Have you eaten yet? I left some for you in the kitchen." Xia looked at Chuncha's appearance and said casually.

"okay, I get it."

Chuncha went to lie down on the sofa, and sank into the sofa without moving.

Xia immediately closed the book, got up and walked into the kitchen to bring out the food she left.

"summer."

Xia was setting the bowls and chopsticks when she suddenly heard the sound of Chuncha, and turned her head to see that she was still lying there motionless.

"ah?"

"Did you go out with Iroha today?"

Xia couldn't help being stunned for a moment, surprised that she would ask herself such a question, and then responded: "No, he didn't come to see me today."

"oh."

I thought there was nothing to say, but after a while, I heard Chuncha continue to say: "Iroha looks quite straightforward, without any scheming."

"Well, sort of." Xia replied in a flat tone, as if he was not interested in this topic.

"Huomen is much calmer. At a young age, he is thoughtful and calm in situations. Master Rizu often praises him. He should be the best among his peers in the clan."

"Maybe."

"summer."

"..."

"Is there anyone you like?"

"No."

At this moment, Chuncha sat up from the sofa, looking at Xia who was serving her food, her eyes flickered slightly.

"You guys are childhood sweethearts, don't you have any feelings for them?"

Xia frowned slightly: "Do childhood sweethearts have to be together, just be good friends?"

Chuncha laughed dryly: "...of course."

Xia couldn't help but look at her more, and realized that something was wrong with her sister today.

In the past, she occasionally joked with herself about this, but her current demeanor and tone didn't look like she was joking.

Haruno did not end the topic here, but continued hesitantly: "That's true... I have been in touch recently."

At this moment, Xia finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said helplessly, "Is that why you want to find me a boyfriend? You've been single until now, why don't you say find me a brother-in-law first."

Chuncha fell silent.

Xia then said again: "Hurry up and eat, it's still hot."

After finishing her meal, she walked to the sofa and picked up her book.

"Would you like... Try to get along with that Zhenduo more."

"don't want."

"I didn't ask you to be with him..."

Xia suddenly was taken aback.

Only to hear Chun Cha continue to say with her head down: "It's just... just get along with each other more."

Hinata Xia is very smart, looking at her sister's appearance, she quickly figured out the cause and effect of all this.

Why did my sister say these things to herself inexplicably.

Xia's face became calmer: "I see."

"Xia, you..."

"I see, I will do it."

"...I'm sorry, Xia."

Xia's expression was flat: "If you don't say it, you don't need to fall in love with him."

"As long as you get close to him, it will be fine."

...

On the second day after returning to the village on the day's mission, the front line sent back a wounded man again, and at the same time another camp of Konoha was broken by the enemy.

Konoha Hospital.

Seeing Jiraiya covered in bandages on the hospital bed, Sarutobi's face was neither sad nor happy.

"How many people were evacuated?"

"half."

"Is that so..." Zilai also murmured to himself, with a heavy voice.

"It's also expected. If Minato didn't arrive, I would have died there too."

They were attacked by thousands of Iwanin, and the leader was the third Tsuchikage Ohnoki.

Just a face-to-face, Zilai also saw a burst of dazzling white light pass through the center of his camp, and everything it passed turned into ashes.

The number of enemies was more than three times that of theirs, and Jiraiya also chose to buy time for his companions, but he was helplessly outnumbered. Fortunately, Minato came quickly.

Ji Lai also asked, "How many people are there on the front line?"

Sarutobi said: "Four thousand...less than."

These words caused the two of them to be silent for a long time. It used to be the largest ninja village in the ninja world, but now it has reached this stage.

Even Zilai couldn't help asking: "Can we still win?"

Sarutobi didn't answer this question, just now daimyo sent a letter, implying that if Sarutobi can't win this battle, he can consider surrendering to Iwagakure, as long as the war can be stopped, Fire Nation is willing to pay more for materials, money and even land .

But Sarutobi knew Onogi's nature well, if he had negotiated peace with Iwagakure right after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, the other party would probably agree.

But now that Yan Yin saw victory in sight, how could he stop there.

The end of the road...

Jilai also saw the stacked armor under Sarutobi Hokage's robe, and asked, "How is the village now?"

Yuan Fei looked out of the window: "...it's a bit messy."

This chaos is visible and invisible...

The villagers panicked, and the big clans plotted to retreat...

The unbreakable bond established by the original Hokage was finally loosened in the face of life and death.

"I heard that Orochimaru went to Sand Yin to call for reinforcements."

"Konoha is in this situation now, and there will be no allies anymore."

"……makes sense."

"After I go to the front line, the village will be handed over to you."

"I'm not going to deal with those government affairs."

"There is no government affairs, only news of our victory or our death."

Ji Lai also smiled wryly and stopped responding.

Yuan Fei said lightly: "If you think it's a mess, you should recover quickly and go to the front line to die."

The end of the road.

After Yuan Fei left, Ji Lai also leaned on the hospital bed, watching the scenery outside the window in silence.

The leaves are withered, it is late autumn.

For no reason, he thought of the time before Tsunade and Orochimaru became famous.

At that time, there were only unfinished tasks, how could there be so many worries like now.

After becoming Sannin, their status in the village is getting higher and higher, they have more and more contacts, and they know more and more. The distance between the three of them seems to be getting farther and farther.

Jilai also felt that Orochimaru's hidden ambition was too great, and his student was a natural Hokage.

When Mr. Sarutobi told him that he would treat this war as a stage for Minato and hide Orochimaru in the snow, he agreed.

After the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Minato's reputation reached its peak, and the light overshadowed his former self, making Jilai feel that things would go on so smoothly...

Thinking about it now, if Orochimaru was on the front line at that time, perhaps the war would have already been won.

With Minato's strength and personality, he and Sarutobi-sensei didn't need the extravagant actions that led to the current tragedy.

In Orochimaru's heart, he must be completely disappointed with himself and Sarutobi-sensei.
