Hokage: Let Suffering Never Fly

Chapter 47 The Dream of the Rope Tree

"Bring the note." Hiruzaru Sarutobi's words made Gaia think of something instantly.

This guy Shengshu... dared to lie to us!

It wasn't that the third generation wanted to summon him, but...he ran away!

He must have gone to the front!

Naoki has always wanted to go to the battlefield, but Konoha refused his request to leave the village to perform war missions because his injury was not good, and Gaia also wanted Naoki to stay by her side so that she could have the opportunity to study the Senju clan. With a young body, he often persuades him to think about it...

In the end, this guy actually ran away secretly!

Gaia immediately went home and brought the note...but on the way, he suddenly calmed down.

Even Naoki would be punished for doing such a thing during a time of extreme tension. If it wasn't for his special status, if he were a commoner or even a ninja from another family, this behavior would be enough to be treated as treason up.

No, I have to help him.

For Gaia, Naoki is the only friend who can talk to him among Konoha's peers... because other peers ignore him because of his status as a cunning villain.

Gaia found the note, looked at the handwriting on it and a primary skill called handwriting imitation in her skill column, and decided to help Shengshu make another "proof".

……

After Gaia left, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately asked someone to ask if there was anything unusual in the barrier class.

In Konoha, you have to pass through a special barrier when leaving the village. Except for the gate, ninjas will feel chakra when entering or exiting other places.

Shengshu didn't have a permit, so it was impossible to enter and exit through the gate, so he had no choice but to leave the village from another location.

If the enchantment didn't fail, then Rope Tree left Konoha in a way that could avoid the detection of the enchantment class.

After a while, Anbu Ninja replied that the barrier covering Konoha was normal.

This is probably the only news that can make Hiruzaru Sarutobi breathe a sigh of relief.

This also means that Zhishu has grasped some kind of loophole in the enchantment.

But when I think about it, this village-protecting barrier ninjutsu was originally designed and developed by the second generation, and it seems that there is no problem in leaving a little behind for my descendants...

But the rope tree is really special to the village.

Just imagine, if Naoki died in a certain battle, would they avenge Naoki or not...

Konoha is now fighting on multiple fronts, and the troops everywhere are tense. He absolutely does not support changing the overall strategy because of the death of one person.

However, the direct bloodlines of the two generations of Hokage died on the front line without knowing why, and Konoha didn't even take revenge. What a blow to the morale of one's own side.

If the enemy is using this wave of propaganda, it is estimated that Konoha's situation will be even more difficult...

The last time the rope tree died, it almost caused problems at the border of Konoha.

Therefore, the higher-ups in the village tacitly agreed not to let him go to the battlefield again for Roeshu, who had already been through the gate of hell before.

In their opinion, the rope tree is useless anyway, so it is better to stay in the village. This will be better for everyone except the rope tree itself.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was thinking about how to reduce the impact of this incident. The best way was to find a way to get Nakoki back before the news of Nakoki leaving the village spread... and he couldn't use too much money. manpower.

It just so happened that Kosuke Maruyoshi, who had just performed a special task a few days ago, returned to the village and was in the process of repairing.

He could only let the other party take action.

……

Gaia rushed over and handed the note to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who glanced at it and put it aside.

This little guy has really grown up.

He actually knew how to paralyze the two people he was most familiar with in this way, so as to buy time for himself.

From a ninja's point of view, Hiruzaru Sarutobi recognized the opponent's behavior of knowing how to use his brain.

But from the perspective of the shadow of a village, Naoki's behavior is subject to military trial!

Sarutobi Hiruzen suppressed the slightest anger in his heart and was thinking about how to eliminate the possible influence.

And right here, Gaia handed over another note, which was a note he wrote imitating Rope Tree's notes.

"I found this in the rope tree room just now."

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked it up and saw that it was still Naoki's handwriting, but some of the content written on it made even Sarutobi Hiruzen extremely moved.

Why, my thousand-handed clan is also part of the village and does not need to enjoy any privileges.

He also said that since my great grandfather, the Thousand Hands clan has always charged forward and never backed down.

The children of the common people can die, the children of the mountain clan can die, the children of the Nara clan can die... the children of my Senshou clan can die too!

At the end he wrote:

I have a dream.This dream is deeply rooted in the will of fire.

I dream that one day this village will stand up and truly realize the true meaning of the Will of Fire: that all men are created equal.

I dream that one day, on the Hokage Rock, the children of the common people and the children of the aristocratic families can sit at the same table and drink toast.

I dream that one day, the children of the Fire Nation will live in a country where they will be judged not by their status, but by the quality of their character.

I dream of one day...

To make Konoha great again, this dream must come true!

Let the voice of equality continue from the majestic Hokage Rock to the Valley of the End!

Let the voice of equality ring through every hill in the Land of Fire!

……

嘶

Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who saw this style for the first time, burst into tears.

It turns out... Naoshu turned out to be such a child!

His forbearance is so tenacious and great.

Do not!

He is no longer a child!

Zhishu is already a ninja who has realized the true meaning of the will of fire!

He is the inheritor of the will of fire from the previous two Hokages.

……

Rope tree dreams are good!

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen said that even if he was moved again, he would still bring the rope tree back.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi summoned his subordinates and gave them a special task, in the name of maintaining the barrier, to conduct a search along the edge of the barrier, in order to find the location where Natoki left.

Even if Rope Tree can use the loopholes in the barrier to leave the village, it will definitely leave clues. These ANBU who are good at assassination and hunting will find the traces left by Rope Tree.

At this moment, Kosuke Maruyoshi knocked on the door of Hokage's office.

"Gusuke, I have an extremely important task for you."

When Kosuke Maruyoshi saw Sarutobi's face, he knew that this matter might not be easy.

"You two also listen, after the ANBU finds the trace, the rest is the work of the three of you." Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped Gaia and Matt Dai who were about to leave.

It means that the next task is for three of them.

ah?Why are there still things about me?

Matt Dai didn't show much, but Gaia was surprised.

No, is it possible that I have to go out of the village to find Shengshu?

I'm just an ordinary medical ninja!

Gaia: Rope tree, you have a dream.

Rope Tree: No, I didn't...
