Konoha's Strongest Brother

Chapter 331 A Very Important Decision

Duan Ren had a very comfortable few days.

He took Ye Cang around Muye Village a few times, and he visited almost all the places in the village. The only few places left were probably the Hokage Building, the Hajime House, and the light snacks. shop.

He didn't show up, and the people in Muye Village didn't know about his arrival.

Duan Ren also expressed his helplessness after visiting the unimportant places, but still going to the places that he hadn't been to for the time being.

But before going to the Banner House, Duan Ren decided to go to the Yundanfeng light snack shop first.

In the past month or so, the business of the snack bar in Muye Village called "Clouds and Breeze" has become very good. Like a grand trip, everyone has a budget. Although the snack bar is a bit more expensive, it is still within the budget, and the taste is very good, so the business of the snack bar is very good. Lin is very busy every day ——The thing is like this, some people are a little stingy in normal times, but they are very generous when they have a budget.

Kakashi, as the village's elite Jōnin, is focused on the Chunin exam and has no time to help. Naruto will probably meet a gray-haired uncle soon and practice more suitable for him, so There is no time to help.

As a result, Lin, who was busy to a certain extent, could only split out two shadow clones to help, and also summoned three little toads to help serve the dishes, wash the dishes and clean up...

Anyway, it's busy.

Today, the wind in Konoha is as cold as a knife. It has already entered winter, and there are still many people wandering in the street. There are some patrolling ninjas densely in the streets and alleys, but at this time, a person quietly walked into the snack bar.

As usual, a little toad greeted him listlessly with a pot of tea and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Duan Ren chuckled, and said in a low voice, "Just take whatever you want."

Just after hearing this sentence, the little toad immediately became alert because it was too familiar.

Soon, Duan Ren was recognized, and immediately became solemn.

This is also something that can’t be helped. After all, Duan Ren had practiced in Miaomu Mountain for several years, and the instinct of animals to distinguish things has always been much stronger than that of humans, so Duan Ren was recognized immediately.

The little toad immediately went to the back kitchen and said something to Lin. After a while, Lin cooked two dishes and served them. She didn't say much, and sat quietly in front of Duan Ren and Ye Cang.

Duan Ren wanted to taste Lin's handicraft, so he ate it.

Lin didn't ask questions in a hurry.

After Duan Ren had almost eaten and her speed slowed down, she began to look at Duan Ren seriously, and began to ask: "Brother, why did you come back to Konoha?"

Duan Ren chuckled: "Don't worry, I just came back to take a brief look, and by the way, take a look at the kids who took the Chunin exam, so they won't cause any trouble in Konoha."

"I know. If I was worried, I would have told Lord Hokage a long time ago. I believe that your ability should not have been discovered by Anbu."

"Well, not yet, I know the road very well."

"Too."

"I think I need to tell Kakashi? Kakashi said some time ago, I feel that I will meet you soon."

"Not for now, if I want him to know, I will go to him myself, Lin, this is a secret."

"Ok."

"... Lin, why do you feel that you are not afraid of me at all? After all, I am a ninja who defected from Konoha, are you not worried at all?"

Lin shook her head: "The village doesn't define you as rebellious ninja. I talked with Naruto-sama, and he didn't regard you as rebellious ninja, and he didn't believe you would do anything bad for the village. Your current image in the village , a bit like Tsunade-sama who left the village."

"That's it, it's not bad, forget it." Duan Ren changed the subject, pointed at Ye Cang and introduced to Lin: "This is Ye Cang, and now she is my girlfriend."

"Is this Sister Ye? I heard Kakashi say that it's really great."

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the store - the reason was that the dishes that Lin asked the shadow clone to cook for herself were too unpalatable, and after all, the shadow clone was just a shadow clone.

Duan Ren smiled and said, "Lin, your cooking skills are excellent."

"No, I learned it all from you... I should go to work, you can sit here now."

"Well, go get busy."

Lin was busy in the back kitchen, and she grinned at Duan Ren before leaving.

If today is simply like this, then forget it.

But then I ran into someone again.

Sarutobi Sun Cut.

Hiruza Sarutobi who suddenly appeared at the snack bar today felt very familiar with Duan Ren and Hakura who were sitting there, but couldn't recognize them for the time being. The information in the intelligence database made him recognize Ye Cang, and he understood many things.

He had an established goal in his heart, and when he looked at Duan Ren again, the more he looked at it, the more certain he became, Hiruza Sarutobi understood that it was Duan Ren, the Duan Ren that suddenly appeared in Konoha Village.

Without making a sound, Hiruzaru Sarutobi sat down opposite Duan Ren.

Duan Ren unhurriedly poured a glass of water for Sarutobi Ri, and asked: "It seems that you recognize me, since this is the case, there is no need to hide it, old man, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Hiruzaru Sarutobi also said with emotion, "You brat is like Tsunade, you haven't even got any news since you left the village, and the village can't find it."

Duan Ren smiled, took a sip of tea casually, and said in a low voice: "Isn't what you should do now worry about whether something special will happen? Orochimaru has also returned to Konoha, you should already know this, right? "

"Well, Orochimaru has also returned to the village. I know that. Now that you are back, I really should do the emergency prevention and filing of the third-level extraordinarily serious incident. However, I made a decision a few days ago, so I don't have to worry so much. Do you know what you want?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi said seriously while smoking a pipe.

"Oh, what is it? Let's hear it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, "After all, it's a secret in the village. It's not very convenient here. Go out and talk about it. Do you have time?"

"Have!"

"That's good, you finish eating first, and go outside to talk about it."

"Ok!"

Duan Ren continued to eat, Lin was still busy in the back kitchen, Ye Cang stared blankly at the conversation between the two, although she was also a very good ninja, but the powerful aura of the conversation between Duan Ren and Sarutobi Hiruzen made her unable to intervene. Going on, Duan Ren finished his meal, left the snack bar, and disappeared on the street of Konoha, and Sarutobi Hiruzen followed him in a flash, and disappeared into the snack bar.

In the forest outside Konoha, Duan Ren looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi who was following behind him, and shook his head, "Old man, what decision did you make?"

"The decision was simple and didn't require much thought at all."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi said word by word: "The village has made a decision to let Kakashi be the next fifth Hokage!"

Duan Ren's pupils shrank immediately!

Because he is too familiar with the plot, he knows that the next Five Hokage should be Tsunade.

Now, things have fundamentally changed.

After a short silence, Hiruzaru Sarutobi continued: "Come back, Broken Blade, the village needs you, and the village has never regarded you as an enemy. Kakashi is here, Lin is here, and you belong here... I I am old, and the village needs a new leader. In fact, the most suitable leader should be you, but you are not in the village, but Kakashi is also very good. You probably don’t know how good Kakashi is now. Let me tell you, he has become the core member of the village, and he deserves the Fifth Hokage this time, not because of relying on you... Come back, everything will be fine in the village."

Duan Ren is silent, everyone will make a choice at every point in time, the fork in the road is there, you can’t go, maybe you have made a wrong choice, but this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen undoubtedly made a choice. A very correct and wise choice.

Duan Ren finally left, and he returned to the hotel, silent and motionless, this sudden news had quite a big impact on him, he needed to think, and similarly, he also needed to make a decision.
