After Asma returned to the clan, she first learned about the situation.

It was discovered that the current debt owed by the Sarutobi clan was similar to Uzumaki Kushina's inheritance.

This was obviously using Orochimaru's help to make the Sarutobi tribe vomit out everything they had eaten.

Asuma immediately went to see Orochimaru.

It's just that Orochimaru was busy doing experiments and didn't meet him at all.

He had no choice but to ask to see the Yondaime Hokage, but Minato did meet him.

"Oh, Asuma, did the mission go well?"

Minato greeted Asuma with a normal expression.

Asuma looked a little tired:

"The Fourth Hokage, I want to know what will happen to the Sarutobi clan?"

Minato shook his head, very kindly:

"Asuma, what are you talking about? I just took back Kushina's property. I didn't pursue your father's corruption issue."

"Other dispositions are all ordered by Lord Orochimaru."

Asuma opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.To say that his father is really nothing.

The Yondaime couple died fighting for the village, and as a result, their son could not even eat a full meal.

Now that the reckoning has begun, the fourth generation Hokage has not vented his anger on him.

This is already considered to be the most benevolent and righteous treatment towards him.

"I understand. Thank you, the Fourth Hokage. These are the two weapons the old man bought for me. I will return them to the Hokage."

Asuma placed his two chakra knives on the table.

Asuma is not a very hard-working person, not to mention that he was a street kid before becoming a Guardian Ninja.

Of course I can't afford these two knives at all.

These were all given to him by Hiruzen Sarutobi when he went to protect the Twelve Ninja Warriors.

He had not been back for a long time and had not done many tasks, so it was no problem to buy these two knives.

But now he is planning a wedding with Hong, and since he used the money to buy a knife, he naturally has no money to get married.

Minato was nine years older than Asuma, and by the time Asuma graduated from the ninja school, Minato was already famous in the ninja world.

When Asuma was still a rebellious young man in middle school, Minato died in battle.

At that time, Minato's reputation was at its peak, and Asuma somewhat admired Minato.

He didn't expect that his father would treat Minato like this. Although it had nothing to do with Asuma, Asuma always felt guilty in his heart.

Minato is a person with clear grudges. If Hiruzen Sarutobi was still here now, Minato would take action against him.

But now that Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead, and Asuma has withdrawn the only benefit, Minato is not prepared to do anything to Asma.

Minato showed a warm smile, held down the two chakra knives and pushed them back:

"You and Hong are getting married soon. This pair of weapons can be considered as an early wedding gift for you."

"A ninja's strength will be greatly reduced without his own weapons."

Asuma understood what Minato meant, bowed and said:

"Thank you Yondaime Hokage-sama."

Minato said pointedly:

"What I have here is just some money."

Asuma responded: "Then I'll go first, Hokage-sama."

Minato nodded and Asuma stepped back.

"Oh, this kind of thing is really not suitable for me. It would be great if Xia Mu was here, he is the best at this kind of thing."

Minato said to himself.

……

Asuma who exited breathed a sigh of relief. At least the Yondaime Hokage was not prepared to pursue the case any further, which was a good thing.

The meaning of the Yondaime Hokage's last words is very obvious. He just had some money swallowed here. Now that the money has been returned, he will no longer pursue it.

The key now is Kakashi and Tsunade.

One of them lost his father, and the other's entire family was wiped out. He really didn't know what to say.

As the son of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Asuma was still ready to meet Kakashi.

Arrive at the door of Kakashi's house.

Asuma hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door.

The door was opened by an old servant. After learning that the visitor was Asuma, he told him that Kakashi had gone out, but left him a letter.

Asma opened the letter and there was only one line on it.

"It has nothing to do with you. Tsunade-sama wants to pursue the case, and you can't stop it."

Asuma sighed.

It seems that he has figured it out and is not ready to go to Tsunade.

As Kakashi said, this matter had nothing to do with him in the first place, and he couldn't stop it or change it.

Kakashi didn't take his anger out on him. They were friends before and they will still be in the future.

Asuma quickly returned to the clan.

Sarutobi Heng and Sarutobi Chongming came forward and asked:

"Asuma, what did Hokage-sama say?"

Asuma shook his head: "I haven't seen the Fifth Hokage. The Fourth Hokage just wants to recover the money."

"I didn't go to Tsunade-sama's side."

After Asma briefly talked about today's events, she spread her hands and said, "I can't stop this matter, and I can't change it either."

"It's useless to look for anyone. The Fifth Hokage-sama's money can only be paid back slowly. Please let the clan members be more honest these days."

Sarutobi Tsune actually didn't have much hope. Hearing what Asuma said, he quickly accepted it.

"I understand. I will make the clansmen settle down and return the money."

Sarutobi Tsune is a person who is content with the status quo. He was previously coerced by Sarutobi Takaaki and wanted to make the Sarutobi clan strong, but now it seems that it is just a dream.

Sarutobi Heng did some coordinating work at most, and he used his position to make some conveniences for the clan members.

He had been dismissed from his post and he should be fine. He agreed with Asuma's cold treatment.

Sarutobi Takaaki glanced at the two of them.

"Asma, Great Elder, you are too naive."

"This is just the first step to deal with us Sarutobi tribesmen. Orochimaru will use more severe measures next. If we don't resist now, we are just sitting back and waiting to be killed."

Asma was furious and yelled: "Third Elder! What are you thinking?"

"How to resist? Tell me how to resist?"

Sarutobi Takaaki said coldly: "Orochimaru is Hiruzen-sama's disciple after all. We, the Sarutobi clan, want to be independent. Is it possible that he can still kill us all?"

Asma laughed angrily: "Third Elder, with our clan's current reputation, if we stand on our own, which village would dare to ask us?"

"Is there something wrong with your head?"

Asuma used to be a street kid, but now that he saw Sarutobi Takaaki trying to cause trouble again, he couldn't help but curse.

Sarutobi Takaaki was very angry: "Asuma, I am your sixth uncle after all, why are you talking?"

Asma slapped her palm on the table:

"Sarutobi Takamei is a young man who relies on his old age and sells his old stuff. Now the second elder is doing work for those tribesmen in the prison every day."

"The purpose is to get them to plead guilty early and pay compensation to those who deserve compensation, so that Hokage-sama can let us go."

"Other Uchiha can go out on their own, but Uchiha Natsuki can fight."

"If you dare to declare independence, you will be declared a traitor and die here immediately."
