Chapter 8

That night, Shimoki, who couldn't sleep at all, lay on the bed and looked up at the wooden ceiling, thinking over and over again of Orochimaru and Tsunade's sympathetic eyes when they looked at him, and Orochimaru's vague words:
"We just need to do our own thing well, and the rest of Sarutobi-san will make his own arrangements."

Arrange a ghost yourself.

If Sarutobi could arrange it properly, Shoki wouldn't have difficulty falling asleep here.

But looking back at the plot he knew, from the Three Wars to the death of Sarutobi himself, it seems that many things were not what he expected.

The former hero of Konoha, known as "Konoha White Fang", Hatake Sakumo failed in the mission because he prioritized saving his companions in the mission, and then returned to the village from a hero to a sinner condemned by everyone. Blaming him, he finally committed suicide.

You know, when Bai Fang committed suicide, he already had a reputation comparable to Sannin, but he ended up depressed because of the failure of a mission, causing Konoha to lose one of his generals in vain.

To be honest, when Shimoki saw this, combined with the various performances of Danzo as Nabekage later, he once thought that Danzo maliciously pushed Konoha Baiya into the vortex of public opinion in order to become Hokage to eradicate the threat, and finally forced him to do so. Apologize for not committing suicide.

But after looking at the back, Shimoki guessed that Danzo had the heart to splash dirty water, and he did so. The original purpose should be to make him disgusting and disgusting. Bai Fang let him lose the advantage of competing with him in the future. However, Shiro did not expect Ya's belief collapsed and he died directly.

This is an example of not controlling the form well. The other is Sarutobi’s repeated indulgence of Danzo. Although the two reached a relative agreement after the assassination, Danzo’s ambitions quickly became uncontrollable after Sarutobi’s death. Even from being extremely self-interested at the beginning to being extremely self-interested, he became a prisoner of desire completely.

It is estimated that after Sarutobi's death, he would not have thought that Danzo would lose control so quickly, or that he thought of it but died before he could do anything, and died of the dead ghost.

Thinking of this, Shuangmu couldn't help shaking his head again and again.

This mission always felt that it would not be that simple, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Sarutobi had in his stomach.

But Shimoki, who is a mere ninja, what else can she do besides accepting it?

It's not possible to defect for a mission led by three big bosses, right?

Feeling at a loss for tomorrow, Shuangmu fell asleep.

...

...

Late at night, in an underground facility in Konoha Village.

Walking leisurely into this facility, the current third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi walked through a long corridor and finally came to the door of a secret room.

As if he didn't even bother to raise his hand to knock on the door, Sarutobi shattered the door lock with brute force, and strode into the secret room.

As Sarutobi entered, Shimura Danzo raised his hand to signal his masked subordinates not to act rashly, and then calmly said to Sarutobi:

"Sarutobi, it's so late, you Dignified Hokage don't go to rest, what are you doing in this dark place like me?"

Walking to the table where Danzo was sitting without saying a word, Sarutobi reached out and pulled a chair to sit down, took off his bamboo hat and put it on the table, and then slowly opened his mouth:
"Danzo, I have already asked Shimoki about the child's situation during the day. It is Jiraiya's rare chance in the fairyland. Don't have any other thoughts about him."

The only remaining left eye narrowed slightly, looking down at Danzo who was reporting on the table, he didn't seem to approve of Sarutobi:

"For something like chance, if you create more, there will always be more Taoists. Just saying that you can meet but not ask for it can't prevaricate me, Sarutobi."

Seeing that his old friend still didn't give up, Sarutobi took out his pipe with some headache, lit it and took a deep puff:
"Huh—Danzo, your psychic beast is a family-owned giant tapir, so you don't understand the rules of signing contracts in fairyland or other places.

Let's not talk about whether deliberately sending people to the fairyland to seek opportunities will cause the fairyland's disgust, just casually attacking people who have signed a contract with the fairyland, except for places like Longxiandong, will cause no small problem. It will bring unnecessary trouble to Konoha. "

Hearing that Sarutobi would adversely affect Konoha, Danzo seemed a little shaken.

Seeing this, Sarutobi seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot:
"Not to mention that these troubles are unnecessary on weekdays. In the past few years, Yuyin Village has begun to be dishonest. A certain person named Sanshoyu Hanzo has become more and more famous. In recent years, some people have even begun to call him ' demigod' again.

Danzo, we have all experienced the chaotic battles that followed after the death of Lord Hashirama, and we all know what the leaders can do for the benefit of their own village.

It can be said that in a few years, the ninja world will not be so peaceful again. "

"Oh?"

At this point, Danzo finally raised his head, and the meeting began to look directly at Sarutobi for the first time:
"Sarutobi, are you saying that the time for 'root' to play a role is coming soon?"

Knocking his pipe on the corner of the table and dusting off a few grains of ash, Sarutobi looked into Danzo's eyes and nodded silently.

"……call."

After receiving Sarutobi's affirmative answer, Danzo leaned back slightly and let out a sigh:

"Since this is the case, there is no need to offend the mysterious fairy land and cause unnecessary trouble for Konoha."

After Danzo clearly expressed the message that he would stop, Sarutobi nodded lightly at him, then got up and prepared to leave.

Before walking out of the door, Danzo looked at Sarutobi's back and suddenly asked:

"Sarutobi, if there is the power of Hashirama-sama, will the world be able to return to long-term peace again?"

After a pause, Sarutobi stood at the door in silence for a moment, and replied without looking back:

"Yes, Master Hashirama's strength is the key to the continuation of peace."

After saying this, Sarutobi stepped out of the secret room.

Watching the figure of his old friend slowly disappearing into the darkness of the corridor, Danzo was thoughtful.

...

...

In a small village in the country of soup, a white-haired man who drank in a tavern until late at night and returned to the hotel looked at the full moon above his head from the balcony and let out a helpless sigh.

The ancient, peaceful village where I am now enjoys the reputation of a seaside resort, and every year a large number of tourists linger in its exquisite restaurants and art galleries, or go boating on the sea.

But starting this autumn, several members of local senior families suddenly lost their vision.

The sudden illness caused the small village to fall into a short-term panic, but after eliminating parasites, genetic diseases and poisoning, everyone regained their composure, but they were still helpless against the illness.

Fortunately, a few well-informed old men in the village speculated whether it might be blindness caused by ninjutsu, so they jointly issued a general-level help-seeking task.

Jiraiya, who happened to travel here, also volunteered to take over the task. After a brief observation of the patient, Jiraiya recognized at a glance that it was a visual disorder caused by Chakra, which should be caused by some kind of secret technique.

But Ji Lai, who is not good at reasoning, can't see what caused it, and who caused it.

In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Konoha Village for help, and soon got a reply from his teacher, saying that Orochimaru and Tsunade would bring Shimoki, who was brought up by the three of them since childhood, to help.

Imagining the scene when the three old friends met, Ji Lai laughed and fell drunk on the tatami in the room, falling asleep.
