In the Hokage's office, the atmosphere suddenly became frozen, as if time had stopped at this moment.

"Teacher, didn't I say anything just now?"

Yusuke raised his hand and slowly touched the back of his head, with an expression of pretending to be stupid on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a stern face and an extremely serious expression, with anger flashing in his sharp eyes. However, he chose to ignore the look of Yusuke pretending to be stupid.

"Oh." Yusuke sighed deeply. His facial expression was full of confusion and his lips trembled slightly. It seemed that he had a thousand words to say but was hesitant to speak.

"Yusuke, are you going to deceive even me, your teacher, now?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, with obvious dissatisfaction on his face.

Yusuke took a deep breath of smoke and then exhaled heavily. His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, and he began to narrate what happened after Danzo spied on him, adding fuel to the fire.

"Danzo, what do you want to do? And Orochimaru, why on earth are you getting together with Danzo?" His heart was full of doubts and confusion.

"Yusuke, do the members of your ANBU know about this as well?"

After a long silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke again, breaking the suffocating silence.

Yusuke shook his head and said softly, "They have only seen Danzo. After all, Orochimaru has been in the house the whole time. So, they know there is someone else in the house, but they don't know who it is. Besides, I have also issued a gag order."

"Okay, Yusuke, trust me, leave this matter to me. I just didn't expect that Danzo was so crazy that he was willing to assassinate you and start a war." Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned tightly, suppressing his anger in his heart.

"Teacher, I'll go back first." Yusuke looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said softly. Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored him, he simply picked up the teacup and drank another cup of tea, then stood up and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Please sit for a while." Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly said.

Yusuke was a little surprised, with a surprised expression on his face. He slowly sat down and asked, "Teacher, do you have anything else to tell me?"

After Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered his thoughts, he stared at Yusuke and asked about Kakuzu's situation.

Yusuke's expression became more and more surprised, and he frowned. He obviously didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to pay so much attention to Kakuzu.

"Teacher, I have already told you the information I know last time. I haven't seen him since then."

Yusuke shook his head helplessly, a look of regret appearing on his face.

"Then why did you say in your previous report that blaming everything on this person Kakuzu would bring the matter of the missing ANBU to a successful conclusion?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Yusuke closely, with a sharp light in his eyes.

Yusuke thought for a moment and answered with a serious expression, “Because he is greedy for money, many of Konoha’s Anbu are registered with Kankinso, so it makes sense for him to attack the Anbu.

It was precisely because of his greed for money that I asked Fugaku for a few Uchiha jonin to try to lure him out, but he seemed to have disappeared into thin air. "

"Greedy?" Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a puzzled look on his face and repeated, "How did you know?"

“That’s because I suddenly remembered that when I took Shikaku on our first C-rank mission, we encountered that group of bandits.

Kakuzu once said that Shikaku and his friends destroyed a place that made him money. Hmm... that's probably what he meant."

Yusuke raised his hand to support his chin, trying hard to recall the scene at that time, and then recounted the facts in detail.

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Yusuke." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Yusuke with satisfaction, a relieved smile on his face.

After listening to this, Yusuke sat quietly, silently waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen's next instruction.

"Are you going to work here with an old man like me?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Yusuke with a faint smile on his lips, and said with a smile.

"Ah, can I go now?"

Yusuke opened his mouth slightly, looking at him in astonishment, and couldn't help muttering in his heart for a while: "What? Does the Hokage also have menopause? Sometimes he lets you stay, sometimes he lets you go."

"Go ahead. I'll give you some rest these days. Go home and spend more time with your parents and Tsunade. It's time for you to consider getting married."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this while stroking his beard with a kind smile on his face.

He is really an old fox. He was extremely angry just now, but now he has turned into a kind and amiable old grandfather.

"Don't..." Yusuke hurriedly raised his hands, shaking them left and right, and said, "I've discussed this with Tsunade, and neither of us wants to have a child too soon."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he was so angry that his beard stood up: "I only let you get married, not let you have children. Besides, I don't want the medical reform that Tsunade passed with great difficulty to be abandoned halfway."

After calming down for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly put it down and continued, "Of course, it doesn't matter if you have the baby now, while your parents are still young. After the child is born, you can focus all your energy on the village again."

"Let's talk later." Yusuke said nonchalantly, and before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak, he had already walked to the door, turned around and said, "Goodbye, teacher."

Sarutobi Hiruzen just stared at the door, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

After a while, he began to tap the table rhythmically with his fingers, making a "tapping" sound. When the guard at the door heard it, he immediately pushed the door open and quickly walked into the office.

"Go, call Shinnosuke to my office."

After leaving the Hokage Building, a tall and beautiful woman with outstanding temperament stood at the door, attracting a lot of attention.

Her tall and graceful figure and outstanding temperament are elegant and noble, just like the bright stars in the night sky, firmly attracting the admiring gazes of everyone around her.

However, what is most difficult to ignore is her pair of white eyes that exude a unique charm.

"Captain!" As soon as she saw Yousuke, she ran over as quickly as a nimble deer, with a hint of anxiety on her face and a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

"What's wrong, Reine?" Yusuke's eyes were filled with confusion, his brows slightly furrowed, and he looked at her carefully. This was the first time he saw such an unusual Hinata Reine, and he couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

"My father wants to see you." Hinata Reine's pretty face flushed slightly, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head embarrassedly, and her voice became softer.

"Your father?" Yusuke frowned even more tightly and asked with a strange look on his face, his eyes full of confusion.

He thought to himself that, apart from Hinata Reine and Hinata Hiroya, he had hardly any communication with other members of the Hyuga clan.

Although they have now become his subordinates and joined the Anbu, this is also thanks to Sarutobi Hiruzen's approval.

"Yes, Captain, can you come over?"

There was a hint of shyness and embarrassment in her eyes, and there was a hint of hesitation in her tone, as if this sentence had exhausted all her strength.

"Your father wants to see me, is there something wrong?"

Yusuke asked further out of curiosity, his eyes revealing determination and calmness.

"Do you agree?" Hinata Reine said softly, her voice as subtle and gentle as a mosquito.

"Yes, but I want to know what it is first."

Yusuke did not refuse directly. His expression was calm and firm. After all, as her subordinate, she had something to ask for, and as the captain, he knew that he had the responsibility to help his subordinates solve their problems.

"Let's talk as we walk."

After saying that, Hinata Reine calmed down her nervous mood a little, plucked up the courage to hold Yusuke's hand, and set off towards the Hyuga clan's territory together, their steps a little hurried.
