Hokage: Let Suffering Never Fly

Chapter 109 Cover up lies with lies

Will come again.

It means... what came today is not the main body?

This sentence was like a thorn, which pierced Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart fiercely.

He doesn't care about the opponent's strength, Konoha's background is beyond his imagination.

But what if Gaia is also in the village when the other party comes next time...

Using a lie to cover up a lie, the final result is that countless lies need to be fabricated to complete the lie.

Unless Sarutobi Hiruzen directly confessed to Gaia: In order to confirm your identity, we originally wanted to invite Tasho Ibuki to Konoha to communicate with him, but we did not expect him to commit suicide...

Of course, the premise is that Gaia also has to believe their rhetoric.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't dare to bet on whether Gaia's relationship with him was deep or not.

But judging from the information obtained at the time, Tasho Ibuki regarded Gaia as a very important person anyway.

No, I have to find a way to solve it...

Sarutobi Hiruzen called Danzo, who had never shown up, to discuss the matter with him.

After all, the origin of this matter was the two of them...

……

The team delivering supplies moved slowly in the muddy rain, and soon a ninja from Konoha caught up.

The other party found Tsunade, and brought Hokage's oral order that she needed to go back alone, and deliberately asked that only Tsunade was needed, and Gaia continued his original mission.

Although Tsunade was puzzled, he followed the request and returned to Konoha alone.

Before leaving, he handed over his command to Gaia.

It was just a very ordinary mission in the first place, but it was special because it involved the relationship between Konoha and the Land of Fire. It was also very safe along the way, and there was no need to command anything at all.

She just wanted to tell Gaia that she was going back.

……

Obviously, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to go back by himself.

I don't know which method the blood avatar chose in the end...

After Tsunade was far away for a long time, Gugu emerged from the shadows.

"Cuckoo cluck cluck cluck..."

Cuckoo narrated what happened before.

The facts are already clear.

The village was ambushed and many people were injured. Under such circumstances, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was unwilling to call him back, obviously because he didn't want to see or hear something.

Tiansuo Yibuki was taken away by Konoha.

Gaia looked at the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.

Is this the stable life I want?

This price is a bit unacceptable to me...

……

Tsunade, who rushed back to Konoha, immediately went to the Hokage Building to report. On the way, he saw a fire somewhere.

I was still thinking that some unlucky guy got out of control while practicing fire escape ninjutsu and caused a fire. I thought it was a fun, but when I took a closer look, it looks like my house!

It's a pity that the third generation has an urgent matter with her, otherwise she must go home and have a look...

As soon as he entered the office, he saw his teacher and his friend Shimura Danzo were there.

Tsunade has always disliked Shimura Danzo.

This elder who always likes to use conspiracy to doubt others, and is also good at using conspiracy, really doesn't make her feel good.

"There's something about Gaia...that I think you need to know."

"Gaia came to the village at that time, in order to confirm his identity..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi told about Gaia.

When they heard that in order to confirm Gaia's identity, they captured Gaia's friend in the Land of Rain, and then that friend died... Tsunade suddenly felt that the teacher in front of him was very strange.

Ninjas are not people who stand in the sun.

Ninjas are machines of war, machines of killing.

But she still couldn't accept this approach.

But she just couldn't say anything to blame others.

The will of fire is only applicable to oneself, but to strangers...

"Did he really commit suicide?" Tsunade asked a question.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi glanced at Danzo Shimura, who did not respond positively: "That's not important, the important thing is that he died on the way back to Konoha..."

"Today, after you left the village, the elder brother of that samurai named Tasho Ibuki came to the village..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi added what happened today.

An unknown strongman who may not have descended in real form, was able to subdue Maruyoshi Kosuke, one of the three ninjas, within a few moves. Although it was a coincidence, there is no doubt that the other party must be a rare strongman in the ninja world.

In this battle, there are not many strong people left in the village, such as Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Hatake Sushigeru, etc., are all performing tasks, and even she and Gaia left the village in the morning.

Next time, the other party will definitely not have such good luck.

But...it might not be Konoha's good luck.

If Gaia were in the village today, she would confront him head-on. After learning about Tadō Ibuki, his attitude towards Konoha may have changed.

Tsunade tried to persuade his teacher to explain the truth directly to Gaia, but the latter hesitated a lot. He just hoped to wait a few more years until Gaia was completely integrated into Konoha. It would be best to have children here, and then Tell him the truth again, in this way, the possibility of Konoha losing a strategic weapon will be greatly reduced.

Use lies and hypocrisy to keep a person who does not belong to Konoha.

At the beginning, Tsunade desperately hoped that Gaia could stay in Konoha, because her brother's chakra still remained in his body. In order to completely eliminate the hidden danger, she did not want Gaia to leave the village.

But now, she suddenly realized that this was not fair to Gaia.

If one day Gaia knew that he was able to pass Konoha's review and stay in Konoha to study and live because a good friend sacrificed his life for him, maybe he wouldn't accept all this.

Tsunade wanted to tell Gaia the truth, but he also found that he couldn't bear the possibility of Gaia leaving after learning the truth.

Many things about Konoha can no longer be separated from Gaia, even... I am used to Gaia being by my side.

This young sapling, which originally needed her to protect, has become a towering tree that can provide shelter for Konoha in such a short period of time.

It is Konoha that cannot be separated from Gaia, not Gaia that cannot be separated from Konoha.

"What can I do?" Tsunade asked.

"Treat the injured, and then rush to the Kingdom of Fire to join Gaia. Don't let Gaia return to the village before we notify you..."

With such a battle happening in the village, if Gaia doesn't want to know what happened, it must be done well.

The ninjas have to come up with a statement, agree with the caliber, and a small number of civilians who know about it must use illusion techniques to make them forget this memory.

These all take time.

In order to keep Gaia in Konoha, they took great pains.

If at that time when confirming Gaia's identity, he had spent more thought and not adopted such a simple and violent method, perhaps this would not be the end today.

Tsunade thought so.
