Konoha: I am cursed with immortality

Chapter 10 Sarutobi Sun Slash
"Assemble everyone, stand in line!"

After arriving at the Konoha Gate, several Jonin led the team to integrate the troops, and began to count the number of people to confirm whether there were so few unlucky ones who were left behind.

There were not many people, and after confirming the arrival of all the members, it didn't take much time.

Uesugi Toru was standing in the crowd at this time, looking like he was wandering, already thinking about whether the first stop should be to eat barbecue or ramen.

"Uesugi Toru!"

Suddenly, a voice pulled him back to reality.

"To!"

Uesugi Toru subconsciously replied, feeling a little dazed, didn't you call my name just now?
"Master Hokage has an order to let you go to his office." The Jōnin said.

"Huh?" Uesugi Toru was taken aback.

What did that old man Sarutobi want from me?
"Others, disband!" The Jōnin shouted to the remaining people, ignoring Uesugi Toru's surprise.

Because he didn't know why the Third Hokage deliberately kept Toru Uesugi.

"Phew, I can finally go home."

"You can eat tamagoyaki made by Okasan!"

"Well, the Chunin exam is approaching, so we still can't relax..."

"I heard that there is a new sukiyaki restaurant in the village. Shall we try it together?"

"Compared to sukiyaki...or teppanyaki is more delicious."

……

A group of young ninjas cheered one after another, and scattered in groups of threes and twos. After a bloody battle, what they were most looking forward to was this short rest.

Only Toru Uesugi, who was out of place, walked slowly towards the Hokage Building in the opposite direction, alone.

Arriving at the door of Hokage's office, Toru Uesugi knocked on the door dejectedly.

Boom, boom.

"Come in."

An old voice came from the door.

Uesugi Toru opened the door and walked into the office. At a glance, he saw an old man with a goatee and wearing a Hokage robe. He was processing official documents at the desk with a pipe dangling from his mouth.

The whole house smells of smoke.

Uesugi Toru coughed, stepped forward, and bowed: "Master Hokage."

This is the first time Uesugi saw Hiruzaru Sarutobi after crossing.

The little old man's eyelids were drooping, and his gaze was very dull. On the surface, he looked like an old man in his neighbor's house who drank tea, walked birds and played chess all day long.

"Oh, it's Toru." Hiruzaru Sarutobi laughed, and the wrinkles on his face deepened, "Did you just come back from the country of grass?"

"Yes, I just returned to the village." Uesugi Toru nodded.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi stopped the work at hand, stood up, took a deep breath of cigarettes, then came to Uesugi Toru, looked him up and down, and said: "Yes, I have matured a lot... I have seen you recently Master?"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Uesugi couldn't help being taken aback, and replied: "It was already half a year ago."

A year ago, Uesugi Toru found Tsunade's trail through a mission, and set up a bet to worship her as his teacher. Since then, Uesugi Toru has been practicing with Tsunade in the six months since then.

It was not until half a year ago that Toru Uesugi received an order to return to the village because of the war.

When he first started practicing, Tsunade had already written to Sarutobi Hiruzen about Uesugi Toru's apprenticeship, otherwise, without Hokage's permission, Uesugi Toru would not be able to stay outside the village for so long.

"It's been half a year..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered that there was indeed a transfer order half a year ago to let Uesugi Toru return to the village and participate in the war.

In the following six months, most of the time, Uesugi Toru mainly followed Kushina and participated in the defense near Konoha Village. When the battle was tense, he followed other back-up ninjas and occasionally supported various battlefields.

Although he was too busy to touch the ground, the danger was not great.

If it wasn't for being separated from the main force when supporting the Country of Grass some time ago, and being attacked alone, it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

If that wasn't the case, Tsunade might not feel at ease to let Uesugi Toru come back.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked at this time: "Does your master plan to go back to the village?"

Uesugi Toru shook his head: "This... I haven't heard from Master."

At this point, Toru Uesugi thought to himself, how could Tsunade come back at this time, because of her disappointment in the war and herself, she would never return to Konoha.

unless……

Wait until you die.

Uesugi Toru's eyes fell on Sarutobi Hiruzen, which was very meaningful.

"Is Tsunade... still the same?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi hesitated to speak, "It's about the 'blood'."

Of course Toru Uesugi knew what he was talking about, so he replied: "It's still the same. I heard from Sister Shizune that Master's illness has not improved."

"Alas..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "What happened back then hurt her a lot."

Uesugi coughed.

He really wanted to say: Hey!old man!Did you know that children who smell second-hand smoke will not grow taller? !
Keep smoking, keep smoking!

But Toru Uesugi didn't say anything, and Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't seem to want to stop smoking.

As expected, like father, like son.

Toru Uesugi thought of Asma Sarutobi.

This guy is two years older than him, and he hasn't smoked yet, but he will never leave his mouth, never leave his mouth.

Mad's ninjutsu "Fire Escape·Ash Accumulation" is also related to smoke.

Also no one.

"How is it? After practicing with Tsunade for half a year, have you made any progress?" Sarutobi suddenly changed the subject, looked at Uesugi Toru, showing a loving expression.

Uesugi Toru came back to his senses, and smiled immediately: "Ah, of course, Master is very responsible."

Sarutobi shook his head and smiled: "I have three disciples. When it comes to teaching disciples, Zirai is better, Tsunade...it's okay to focus more on teaching disciples and less gambling."

"Well, yes, yes." Toru Uesugi didn't know what to say, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smirk.

I don't know what the old man wanted to say when he called himself here.

Seeing Uesugi's tired face, Sarutobi was a little embarrassed: "I'm old, seeing you young people full of vigor, I can't help but say more."

"No, no, Hokage-sama was joking." Uesugi Toru smiled and waved his hands, his eyes narrowed into a beautiful arc.

The fake smile is more obvious.

Sarutobi didn't care, and continued: "By the way, have you come back to look for Kushina?"

Uesugi Toru shook his head: "Not yet."

Although he was temporarily deployed during the war, Kushina is still the leader of the ninja, and in an administrative sense, he is still under the jurisdiction of the Kushina team.

Sarutobi opened the mouth and said: "I have time to find Kushina, she is very worried about you... Oh, by the way, there is a task about you, which has been assigned to Kushina, and she will explain it to you in detail .”

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Uesugi Toru nodded.

As for the mission Sarutobi mentioned, Toru Uesugi didn't care much at all.
