I practice breathing in Konoha

Chapter 118 Interrogation (2)

"If possible, I want to give people a comfortable and equal living environment."

"Pfft!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi laughed as if he couldn't hold back, and said slowly, "Naive..."

"I'm not targeting what's in front of you, but I'm targeting you for giving the people an equal and comfortable life."

Looking at Kaede Takemoto's slightly unconvinced eyes, Hiruzaru Sarutobi seemed to see his young self.

At that time, there was only the face statue of the first generation of Hokage on the Hokage Rock. It seemed that I and Danzo might have made such a promise.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Kaede Takemoto in front of him, he was so similar to his former self, only a little "prettier" than himself.

"The position rotation in the Hokage Building, what have you learned? What have you learned? Takemoto Kaede!" Sarutobi Hiruzani's tone is no longer soft as before, but full of sternness and a little bit of disappointment .

Unprecedented scrutiny burst out of his eyes, and he looked up and down at Kaede Takemoto.

The atmosphere in Hokage's office was tense, and the two of them seemed to be frozen there, neither of them willing to say a word first.

"Yes, we came from Daojian, not far from Konoha Village. When we heard that the Chunin Exam was going to be held here, we brought our grandson to have a look."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who used to have a straight back, has become a crooked and crumpled little old man, with a walking stick he found somewhere.

"But you are still a little hesitant, which shows that you still have a shame in your heart that you don't want to face the truth."

The clothes on his body were not as plain and gorgeous as usual, but rather shabby and even to the point of poverty.

"Go change your clothes and change your appearance. I'll take you outside to have a look."

As he spoke, he turned into an afterimage and rushed out from the open floor-to-ceiling windows. Kaede Takemoto looked around Hokage's office and followed without looking back.

As he said that, Sandai Hokage found a large handful of small change from nowhere, the big denomination was 1000 taels, and the small ones were around 10 taels.

Although this hotel is not up to a first-class hotel, it is still considered a middle-level hotel, and ordinary people can go in and "enjoy" if they bite their teeth.

The two came to the hidden place of the gate of Konoha Village, and the speed of Sarutobi Hiruzen of the Third Hokage slowed down.

"Is there a better room here? My little grandson wants to sleep well for a month."

The boss looked at the change in front of him, and said to "Three Hokage" with an apologetic expression: "It's very unfortunate, sir, although your change is enough, but I'm sorry that our first-class rooms are full."

Slowly walk from the outskirts of the village into the area where there are many hotels.

Just when Takemoto Kaede was about to say some words of praise, Sandai Hokage interrupted him with his hand.

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table lightly and rhythmically, and after a while he sighed heavily: "The Anbu on duty will step down."

Three generations of Hokage also deliberately avoided this kind of hotel.

After a while, Takemoto Kaede helped "Grandpa" into a hotel that was not too big but more elegantly decorated.

Hearing the door of Hokage's office ring and close again, Kaede Takemoto walked out after changing his clothes.

"..."

Most of the first-class hotels receive adults with titles in the "Chinese" of the Fire Nation, or top businessmen with a lot of money.

After confirming that the Anbe ninja had left, Hiruzasaru Sarutobi of the Third Hokage slumped on the chair, looking at Kaede Takemoto with one eye open and the other closed.

"Why are you still standing there, why don't you come help your "grandpa"." Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's shout, Takemoto Kaede immediately reacted, and quickly stepped forward to hold his arm.

Looking at the old man slumped on the chair, his hair was already gray, Kaede Takemoto lowered his head and stopped looking at him, thinking for a while: "Because you are the third Hokage, the leader who leads us, kindness."

After landing, he really acted slowly like an old man in his dying years.

"Let's go, let's go to Muye Village together."

Just as Kaede Takemoto was changing clothes, there was a knock on the door from outside the office, and after getting the order from Hiruzaru Sarutobi, the secretary came in with a thick stack of documents.

"Why do you obey my orders?"

"Xiaofeng, let me ask you, you and I are not relatives, I am not your elder, why do you respect me so much?!"

"Continue to inform, as long as there is a transfer order jointly signed by the two elders, Zhuanju Xiaochun and Mitomen Yan, the order can fully mobilize all the Anbu directly under Hokage, except for the sealing class."

"Takemoto Kaede! Remember, you respect me not because I am Sarutobi Hiruzen, but because of the power represented by the third Hokage position I sit in."

"In this month, I will take care of the Chunin Exam."

It's just that many young girls and young women stopped to look at Takemoto Kaede's somewhat soft cheeks, then turned their eyes to the little old man beside him, and Takemoto Kaede's somewhat crude clothes, and shook their heads before slowly leaving.

Seeing the "little old man" and Takemoto Kaede approaching, the female receptionist at the door was wearing a long white dress, with pearly lips and delicate makeup, which set them off a bit elegantly.

This is a second-rate hotel in Konoha Village.

The old and the young walked slowly towards Muye Village.

Although it was a bit unbelievable along the way, the crowd around them still avoided Takemoto Kaede and walked away.

After the two whispered for a while, Hiruzaru Sarutobi said hesitantly:
"In the future, don't ask me for these things. Except for the Zhongnin exam, other matters, no matter how big or small, will be handled by the elders."

As soon as the words fell, there were two sounds of footsteps above the head, and Kaede Takemoto immediately recognized that it was the sound of Anbe's special ninja boots stepping on the wooden floor.

Their brows were visibly frowned, a little disgusted.

"Both of you, you are not from Muye Village, are you?" The hotel owner looked at Takemoto Kaede and his grandfather politely.

"I'm very relieved that you can say something like this after thinking about it. You have learned to say "beautiful" words."

After a while, the eyes of the third Hokage looking at Kaede Takemoto seemed to be no longer so harsh, but rather unusually gentle.

But they adjusted their expressions immediately, and with professional smiles, the two welcomed them into the hotel.

"There are still a few common rooms available for living in. I understand your desire to have a good time with your grandson."

"But our upper-class rooms here are really full, and even the middle-class rooms are almost full, and the rest have already been booked."

While talking, he still looked at Takemoto Kaede and Sarutobi Hiruza with a smile on his face: "The main reason is that you won't provide unnecessary additional consumption."

"Do you think I can replace it with a normal one? It can reduce a lot of consumption, but the environment is a little bit unfavorable."
