After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

Hokage Building.

Yusuke was woken up by the Anbu early in the morning. He lay on the bed for a long time with sleepy eyes before slowly coming to the Hokage's office.

"teacher!"

After pushing open the door, Yusuke yawned and stretched, his face full of sleepiness.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has been overwhelmed by the affairs of the Uchiha clan these days.

Although this was a problem within the Uchiha clan, it involved the disappearance of several senior ninjas, which had caused panic among the villagers.

However, before the investigation results came out, countless possibilities had already flashed through his mind.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned against the backrest, supporting his head with his left hand, and waved his right hand, motioning Yusuke to come over and sit down, then asked weakly: "Last time I saw you staying with the Uchiha clan, how is your personal relationship with them?"

"Teacher, are you worried about the disappearance of several Jonin from the Uchiha clan these past two days?"

Yusuke felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not go home yesterday. After all, the office was already filled with smoke at this moment, and he might not have slept all night.

"Teacher, you should know the mission I performed before going to the front line, right?"

Yusuke spoke slowly, picking up the teacup on the table and gently blew away the hot steam on the surface.

But he did not directly answer Sarutobi's question, but raised an eyebrow and asked back.

Then he walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, picked it up and gently blew away the hot steam on the surface, then took a sip slowly.

"Do you know if the mission of escorting supplies is related to this matter?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen straightened up and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's true that there is no connection, but when I was on a mission to escort supplies, I became acquainted with the jonin of the team. One of them was a jonin of the Uchiha clan, named Uchiha En."

Yusuke put down his teacup and told Sarutobi Hiruzen how he met Fugaku, picking out some key points, both true and false.

"Yusuke, are you telling the truth?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up suddenly and looked at Yusuke in disbelief, his eyes full of surprise. He could never have imagined that things would be so complicated.

"It is absolutely true, teacher. Uchiha Fugaku and I are friends only because of family issues. He contacted me through Uchiha En because he wanted to resolve some conflicts and problems within the family."

Yusuke pretended to be nonchalant and casually fiddled with the cigarette box in his hand.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down slowly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "Yusuke, this matter is very serious. You should pay more attention to it. Although the Uchiha clan is powerful, there are many contradictions and problems within them. Uchiha Fugaku asked you for help, perhaps he wanted to learn some information about the village through you."

Yusuke nodded and said, "Teacher, I know. But..."

Yusuke then continued, "Why don't you ask Uchiha Fugaku directly? He would find me and tell me all this. I guess he might also want to tell you directly through me. After all, if he comes to you directly, it will attract too much attention, and he is afraid of being targeted by some people."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "Okay. You go to Uchiha Fugaku quietly. If there is any situation, use the contact monkey to contact me."

Yusuke agreed readily, then said goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen and left the Hokage's office.

It was late at night, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was still standing quietly by the window, staring at the lights of the thousands of homes he was guarding, which were gradually going out one by one.

"Hey."

He sighed softly, then turned his gaze to the document that had been delivered to his desk not long ago. His mind suddenly felt like it was exploding with a headache again. How could this matter involve his good friend?

Combining the information given to him by Yusuke, he was certain that he must be behind this incident.

The roots...

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind pictured those people who were dressed the same as the ANBU but only followed the orders of Shimura Danzo.

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

"come in."

Sarutobi Hiruzen withdrew his thoughts and responded weakly.

"teacher."

Yusuke walked in slowly, followed by Uchiha Fugaku.

"Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Fugaku saluted respectfully to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Yusuke, and Fugaku, please sit down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen forced a kind smile, led the two to the reception area, skillfully boiled tea, and then remained silent.

He recalled what Yusuke had said to him during the day, about the fight between the hawks and doves of the Uchiha clan, and how he should intervene. He secretly glanced at Uchiha Fugaku.

"Fugaku, don't blame Yusuke. After all, this matter involves the safety and stability of the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke and found a way out for Yusuke.

"No, Lord Hokage, actually I am also betting. I bet that Yusuke can understand what I mean." Uchiha Fugaku answered respectfully.

"Oh? Then why don't you just explain it to Yusuke?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen became interested and looked at him with a smile.

Uchiha Fugaku pretended to look embarrassed and looked at Yusuke who seemed like an outsider next to him. This scene happened to be captured by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

“Yes. Actually, I was betting on Yusuke, whether he is trustworthy.

If he has contact with the Uchiha Hawks and lets them know that I have informed the Hokage of their preparations for a coup, I am worried that the peace that the village has finally achieved will be broken.

If Yusuke doesn't understand what I mean, then I can only find another way."

Having said that, Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath, his chest rose and fell noticeably, and then handed over a scroll.

"Here is a list of some of the hawkish members of the tribe."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Uchiha Fugaku with a look of surprise on his face. Even he found this series of events somewhat unexpected.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen took it with a solemn expression, touched it lightly, felt the weight of the scroll, and then carefully put it away.

"Yusuke, you and Fugaku plan a solution for the Uchiha Hawks. Once you have finalized it, report it to me for approval."

"Yes!" Yusuke and Uchiha Fugaku answered in unison.

"Okay, you guys go down first." Sarutobi Hiruzen waved at the two of them, and Yusuke and the other man hurriedly bowed and took their leave.

"Fugaku, I hope that every clan leader of your Uchiha clan can inherit the will of fire like you, and then lead those clan members who also care about Konoha to jointly protect the peace of the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Uchiha Fugaku with deep meaning.

"Hokage-sama, I believe you will be able to see it soon."

After saying that, Uchiha Fugaku gently closed the door and left with Yusuke.
