Daily Life of the Third Hokage

The old man was very happy.

Looking at Naoto Mitarai for a long time without saying anything, he lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking.

Yuhi Shinku, who found that something was wrong with Naoto Mitarai, asked, "Naoto, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I'm just afraid that I'll mess it up again." Naoto Mitarai frowned and hesitated.

At this time, not only Yuhi Shinku found something wrong.

Tsunade also looked at Naoto Mitarai with worry. When the master just became Hokage, he was very busy. In addition to instilling some life principles and expounding some ninjutsu truths, the other ninjutsu truths were basically taught by three older brothers.

Because of his excellent ability, Hatake Sakumo was drafted by his master to work in the Anbu very early, and Yuhi Shinku also had her own training plan.

So all along, Naoto Mitarai has been taking care of himself, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru like a brother.

Whether it is the difficulties in training or the trivial matters in life, they are all arranged clearly by Naoto Mitarai.

It was not until the master was busy for a few years and had more time to personally guide the three of them that Naoto Mitarai became a mission ninja.

In recent years, they have emerged, and they have seen this brother-like person becoming more and more depressed day by day.

They can't let him go on like this.

"Master, why don't you let Senior Brother Naoto work in the medical department? You see I'm busy in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here? You have plans to expand the Five Kage Association into the Ninja World Association next, and I may not be able to take care of the medical department for a while."

Tsunade helped Naoto Mitarai out of the siege.

"Okay, I got it. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will send someone else to take over. The Medical Department cannot do without you. Naoto, I want to arrange for him to assist Orochimaru in managing the Ministry of Education. After all, Orochimaru is slowly taking over the work of Hokage now. It would be better to arrange a trusted person for the Ministry of Education."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew what Tsunade meant, but he had other plans.

"Anything else? If nothing, go do what you should do. If you are not busy tomorrow, go home and have dinner." Sarutobi Hiruzen began to chase people away.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice sounded a little impatient, with a frown on his face and a hint of anxiety in his eyes. His body was tense, and his fingers tapped the table lightly, revealing his inner impatience.

Sarutobi Hiruzen planned to let go completely and let Orochimaru do it. This piece of Konoha's private land would be handed over to Orochimaru to deal with in the future. His next focus would be the Desolate Area.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed with determination and indifference, and his body leaned forward slightly, showing his firm confidence in his decision.

He also had to keep a close eye on the old guy Uchiha Madara, and he also needed to find the Otsutsuki who was not completely dead.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile. His fingers clenched into fists, showing his determination and firmness in tracking the two enemies.

Oh, this troubled ninja world! It's over without me!

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was full of helplessness and bitterness, with a helpless expression on his face, and his eyes revealed his disappointment and helplessness in the ninja world.

When he came to his senses, he found that Orochimaru was still in the study.

"Orochimaru, is there something wrong with you? Talk about it!" Sarutobi Hiruzen walked to Orochimaru and sat down side by side.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were concerned and gentle, and his body was close to Orochimaru, showing his communication and concern for students.

Orochimaru also turned to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen and asked, "Master, what effect do I need to achieve for the Uzumaki clan to join the village?"

Orochimaru frowned slightly, with a serious expression on his face, and his eyes revealed his seriousness and sense of responsibility for his task.

Sarutobi Hiruzen changed to a comfortable posture, "You decide for yourself! You are the successor of Konoha's Hokage, and you decide to what extent and what effect you achieve."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was a little relaxed and cheerful, and his body relaxed, showing his trust and encouragement for Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was a little dumbfounded, "Ah! I don't know what to do!"

"This matter is handed over to you. You are the person in charge. You decide the extent to which it is done. What do you need?" Sarutobi Hiruzen answered as a matter of course.

"Ah this! Master, what if my negotiation with the Uzumaki clan is not smooth? Or what if I accidentally give away too much of Konoha's interests?" Orochimaru still wanted to get some information from the master.

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and said, "Are you feeling pressured? Feeling pressured is a good thing, it proves that you really put the village's affairs first. But you have to learn to adapt, and sooner or later you will learn to make your own decisions."

"Every decision you make is related to the interests of Konoha, and may even affect the entire ninja world. Every civilian in the village, every person you meet will benefit or suffer from your decision."

"The position of Hokage has great power and responsibility. I hope you don't get lost in power, and think more about the responsibilities on your shoulders."

"You can now stand in the position of Hokage to deal with things. No matter whether the decision you make is good or bad, you need to bear the consequences yourself. You will enjoy the blessing and bear the disaster. What will happen to Konoha and the ninja world in the future depends on you."

Orochimaru felt that something was wrong with his master, as if he was going to explain his affairs after his death.

Although he had already been determined to take over the position of Hokage in a year and a half, his master's defense was too strong!

Since the last election of the Konoha Village Committee, I have been gradually taking over the affairs of the Hokage on behalf of my master. My master has no attachment to the position of Hokage. As long as I can handle it, he will basically hand it over to me.

In the past, he would grasp the general direction and give me a safety net.

But today, this is too abnormal. Suddenly, he is very impatient to transfer the power of the Hokage to me.

Suddenly, the responsibility of the entire Konoha and the future of the ninja world are on my shoulders. It is really a bit uncomfortable!

In the past, no matter whether I did good or bad, I had a master to cover the bottom line, and I had someone to rely on for everything.

For example, a few years ago, Danzo's assistant suddenly "got sick and rested", and then he stepped down from the position of assistant because of illness.

The confrontation between Sunagakure and Amegakure for several years and the sudden war are the troubles left by Danzo.

If he hadn't played some tricks and supported Amegakure against Sand Village at an inappropriate time, he would have almost dragged Konoha down. In fact, Orochimaru also expressed his participation in this matter, but he just didn't take action. At that time, he was only thinking about proving himself and didn't consider the consequences and the impact it would cause.

He was provoked by Danzo's words and fell into the trap directly. In the end, it was the master who covered the bottom.
