Guard members who stay in Konoha

Chapter 37 Father's Mind

After getting Sarutobi Hiruzen's guarantee, Mizuki left happily, planning to go back to hold a team meeting, formally propose this plan, and let the people under him strictly implement it.As soon as she opened the door, she saw a man standing at the door with his hand raised slightly, as if he was about to knock on the door.

It's Sakumo Hatake.

Mizuki has a good impression of Hatake Sakumo, not only because he is his son's instructor, but mainly because during the second Ninja World War, this person was unanimously recognized by Konoha Ninja. Two is two, if you say what you say and do it, even the enemy will be shaken by it.

"Mr. Shuo Mao." Ruixi nodded slightly towards him.

"Mizuki." Hatake Sakumo was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect to meet the mother of a former student here. He nodded in response. The two moved away from each other. Mizuki went out and Hatake Sakumo entered.

When passing by Sakumo Hatake, Mizuki said in a low voice, "I'm really sorry for your trouble, Mr. Sakumo."

"It's nothing." Hatake Sakumo also responded in a low voice, and then the two sides stopped talking, Mizuki went out, and he came in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Sakumo Hatake standing in front of him with a smile on his face. Sakumo Hatake was also a young man he favored, and his strength was second to none among the Konoha ninjas of this generation. Even his three Students may not be able to match it, and their character is also commendable, which is what he relies on.

Over the years, Sarutobi Hiruzen has entrusted many important tasks to Sakumo Hatake to complete, and Sakumo Hatake has solved all of them excellently without exception, and his performance is satisfactory.

The current Sarutobi Hiruzen is still at the peak of his age, and it is not yet time to abdicate, just looking at these outstanding young people, he is a little distressed about who he should choose as his successor in the future.

Among his three students, Tsunade is not conducive to being Hokage because of heartbreak. He also expressed his understanding and was unwilling to force; Dashemaru is the person he is most optimistic about, although in recent years he has become more and more alienated from others due to the study of ninjutsu , makes people a little worried, but is still a good candidate; and Zilai is also frivolous, but after so many years of fighting, he is also mature and responsible in major matters, not as unreliable as in the past, and can also be listed as Candidates; as for Sakumo Hatake in front of him, he is naturally a suitable person because of his strength and character.

In addition, the newly promoted Ninami Kaze Minato can also vaguely see the potential behind it, and has an excellent relationship with Kushina who is Kyuubi Jinchuriki, and he will also be a strong candidate in the future.

The heir problem Sarutobi Hiruzen faces is that there are too many candidates, which is really dumbfounding, but Sarutobi Hiruzen's current body is just right, it doesn't matter if he is another ten years, he can choose slowly.

Even if he has to choose one person, Hiruzaru Sarutobi believes that other candidates can do their best to assist the new Hokage, and each candidate has passed his test.

"Sakumo." Hiruzaru Sarutobi greeted with a smile, "It's just in time, I have a new task for you, come, let me explain to you carefully."

"Before that, Hokage-sama, I have a presumptuous request, and I hope you can agree to it." Hatake Sakumo bowed slightly to Sarutobi Hiruzen and said.

"Oh, what request?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi paused, and said that as someone he favored, he would be more tolerant, and he would try his best to satisfy any request as long as it was possible.

"I want to remove Inuko from my class," said Hatake Sakumo.

"Why?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi was a little stunned, "He is your son, wouldn't it be great to study with you?"

"I thought so too at first, but then I felt that Kakashi, who was by my side, might not be able to see certain things clearly because of me. In addition, he was young and talented, so he was a little arrogant. I think this is not conducive to his future growth, so I also ask Hokage-sama to transfer him from my class." Hatake Sakumo said.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned slightly, subconsciously picked up his cigarette stick, took a puff, and said, "Do you think Kakashi will be blinded by worshiping your father?"

"There are some signs now." Hatake Sakumo sighed slightly.

"Indeed, if you ignore other things because you worship your father too much, it will not be good for your future growth." Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded slightly. He is also a father, he can understand Sakumo Hatake's mentality, and he The problem is even more.

Because Hiruzaru Sarutobi had two children, the eldest son, as Hatake Sakumo said, admired his father very much, put him first in everything, and even joined the Anbu of Hokage; In different situations, the source is also the greatness of the father, but the second son has rebellious emotions, which often makes Hiruzaru Sarutobi distressed.

"He is your child, and you are his captain. I have no reason to refuse." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Which class are you going to transfer him to?"

"I think Minato's class is suitable, and he may give Kakashi a good direction." Hatake Sakumo said, he did not come impulsively, he had thought about it long ago, and after his observation, he thought Gate is a good teacher who can guide Kakashi, so he plans to transfer Kakashi to Namikaze Minato's class.

"Minato, well, he is also a talented young man, but he is not that arrogant, but humble and polite." Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, agreeing with Hatake Sakumo's judgment. Feng Shuimen brought him many surprises.

At that time, the people of Yunyin Ninja Village studied Kushina's bloodline because they wanted to control Yaowei. When Kushina went out, they suddenly shot and arrested him. Because of the careful arrangement in advance, taking into account Kushina's going out time and location , Even Hiruzaru Sarutobi and others were caught off guard, and quickly sent ninjas to search.

But the result was unexpected, the first to find Kushina was not the experienced Anbe, but Namikaze Minato, who usually does not show the mountains and does not show water, intercepted the Yunyin team who captured Kushina and rescued him come out.

That is to say, from that time on, the name of Namikaze Minato came into the sight of the high-level executives. It was also because of this incident that the relationship between Kushina and Namikaze Minato became particularly good, which made the high-level people feel complicated. Kushina, who is in the tail Jinzhuriki, is not able to fall in love with people casually.

Because Injuriki is the most important trump card of a village, she must maintain a good relationship with the higher-ups. If she falls in love with someone who is not recognized by the village, it will be troublesome. Fortunately, Namikaze Minato did not disappoint.

"Okay, let's transfer Kakashi to Minato's class." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Thank you Hokage-sama." Hatake Sakumo expressed his gratitude, "Hokage-sama just said that there are new missions, do you want to adjust them?"

"Well, it is indeed necessary, but you are still in charge of this matter. Let me explain the task content to you." Hiruzaru Sarutobi pondered and said.

"Sakumo, as you know, the relationship between the countries has become tense over the years, maybe when will be the prelude to the next ninja war, in order to prevent or prepare in advance, the tasks given to you will become more and more important , It’s getting more and more dangerous, you have to be mentally prepared.”

"I understand." Hatake Sakumo said, his heart sank slightly. Could it be that the third ninja war is really coming soon?
The tragedies of the Second Ninja World War came to mind, Hatake Sakumo took a deep breath, and began to listen to Sarutobi Hiruzen's mission description.
