Naruto: Spirit of Life

Maya didn't tell Yuhi Kurenai and Ebisu about the Ten-Tails. If it weren't for him, the others would probably be confused when they saw that scene, because he is a time traveler and he knows what is Sacred tree, what the Ten-Tails.

Another thing is that his relationship with Yuhi Kurenai and Ebisu is not so close that they can dig out each other's hearts and lungs. Now they are at most people who stand on the same line, even if they have their own small space between husband and wife and family, It's impossible to tell everything. There are always some secrets in everyone's heart that can never be told.

The Yuliang Village has completely disappeared in name only, and the iconic Weirwood forest has also disappeared. Maya, Yuhi Kurenai, and Ebisu are heading towards the direction of the Leaf Village. The mission entrusted to the Yuliang Village this time, It failed due to the death of the client, and Maya's 100% mission completion rate was broken.

……

After several days of traveling, they finally returned to Konoha Village. Maya, Yuhi Kurenai, and Ebisu couldn't wait to come to the Hokage's office and explain what happened in Yuliang Village.

"What? You met the legendary Chi!"

The Third Hokage, who had always given people a stable and mature look, was so surprised that his jaw dropped. Obviously, the news that Maya, Yuhi Kurenai, and Ebisu brought back was too exciting.

"Yes, Lord Hokage! If it weren't for the power left by Lord Maitreya, let alone killing him, it would be a question of whether we could escape!"

Maya was still scared for a while, but fortunately, what he got was enough to make up for all his losses.

The Third Hokage remained silent, the mission client died immediately, and Maya's mission also failed. But what made him concerned was that the weirwood forest just disappeared.

"Besides that, Hokage-sama, there are some other gains!"

Maya turned around and gave Yuhi Kurenai and Ebisu a look. What she was going to say next was not suitable for too many people. After all, no matter how bad this kind of thing was, it would not be exposed to the light at all.

Yuhi Kurenai, Ebisu understood instantly. After leaving the office, he stood guard at the door. The Third Hokage seemed to understand something and waved his hand, signaling the hidden ANBU to leave temporarily.

The Third Hokage took off his Hokage hat, leaned on the armchair, took a puff of cigarette, puffed out smoke, and said: "Maya, Yuliang Village was completely destroyed. With your temperament, I'm afraid you made a lot of money! "

Maya smiled and handed the Third Hokage a storage scroll, and placed another storage scroll on the desk.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, Hokage-sama. That's right, one is the stolen money from you, Hokage-sama, totaling 300 million taels. We have recovered a lot of it, and the other one is from our Yuliang Village. What was found in the treasury was a total of three hundred million taels and twenty-two gold bars."

"so much?"

The Third Hokage was also startled. He looked at Maya in disbelief. Three hundred million was not a small number at all. He thought about the developed tourism industry in Yuliang Village. If accumulated over several decades, it would indeed be around one billion. .

The Third Hokage quickly calmed down, looked at Maya, put away the scroll that Maya gave him, and said without changing his expression: "With your temperament, Maya, it seems that the three of you have made a lot of money?"

Maya smiled and replied: "Everything is for Konoha, Hokage-sama, don't you think you lost the wrong amount of money?"

Maya Yan had something to say, but he also admitted what the Third Hokage said.

"Yes, every penny counts. It's all thanks to you. I got my money back!"

The Third Hokage muttered in his heart: "I'll go, this little naughty guy seems to be a lot greedy. If I had known, I would have let Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai go together. Really, why are you going to the Fire Temple at this time? What are you friends with?" It’s not possible to visit at this time!”

The Third Hokage still doesn't know that there are other businesses behind Yuliang Village. If he wants to know how much Maya, Yuhi Kurenai, and Ebisu are greedy, he may be so angry that he will vomit blood.

The Third Hokage calmed down his mood. His old appearance gave people a feeling of twilight. His sharp eyes did not diminish at all, and he looked very serious.

"Maya, there are only two of us now. You are a smart person, different from other people. I will talk to you straight to the point, but not for those people!"

"Hokage-sama, please tell me, as for being smart, I really don't deserve it. The Nara clan is the wise man who is famous in the ninja world, and the war between the ninja world is the responsibility of Konoha's military advisor, and I am just an ordinary chuunin. If it weren't for Because of you, Hokage-sama, it is impossible for me to meet Kakashi-sensei, let alone to be in this situation today! Everything I did today is dragging down Hokage-sama’s fortune.”

Maya nodded, bent slightly, and got straight to the point, but it didn't mean that he was also honest with the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage rolled his eyes speechlessly and said: "How to become a Kage, I didn't fully understand until now. For example, those people outside, those ninjas, have to use the will of fire to brainwash and hypnotize them in all aspects. , making them feel that it is right to sacrifice for Konoha."

Maya didn't answer. He really didn't understand what the Third Hokage meant now, and he didn't know what the previous Third Hokage meant. Anyway, the Third Hokage who can say this now can definitely serve as a qualified Kage.

The Third Hokage continued: "So, the Will of Fire is just a slogan. If it can be done, Amitabha can also..."

The Third Hokage changed his words and sighed helplessly: "Oh, it's a pity that I don't understand these truths until now. In the past, I, the first generation, the second generation, or the fourth generation, did not understand how to be a Kage. "

"Ah……"

Although Maya was not very cold in her heart, she said on the surface: "Hokage-sama, I may not be able to understand what you are saying. I may need to think about it carefully before I can appreciate the true meaning of your words, Hokage-sama."

The Third Hokage was silent for a moment. He didn't care whether Maya really didn't know or pretended not to know. He said, "Maya, you are not interested in Hokage? I believe that if you can become Hokage, you will definitely It can take Konoha to an extent that I can’t even imagine!”

"I reject!"

Maya refused without hesitation. If what he said before were all lies, now is the first truth he said. More importantly, he now has the confidence to say rejection to the Third Hokage and Konoha. .

"Hokage-sama, I am not interested in the position of Hokage. My dream is to become stronger, have some money, and find a beautiful wife who is close and worthy of companionship. Therefore, for troubles like Hokage, it is better to find someone else who is more suitable. I’m a person, I’m simply not good enough in terms of strength or qualifications.”

The Third Hokage's voice rose slightly, as if to vent his emotions, and said: "Strength, is the strength of a daimyo very strong? As for qualifications, no matter how senior he is, he has no ability, so what's the use? Being a Hokage is not just a matter of light. You can put it on with your fists."

Maya didn't answer, he had already made his point clear.

The Third Hokage shook his head and replied: "Well, I won't force it. You can think about it carefully, but it seems that you have other things!"

Maya smiled and nodded, and replied: "Hokage-sama, I need to stay in the village for the time being, and I may not be able to go out on missions for a long time."
