Konoha Knight King

(Hint: I myself can’t finish reading this chapter, you can skip it, it’s too pretentious, I will pay attention to it next time (slide kneeling))

After watching the team members enter the examination room, Al left.

It's not that Al is indifferent, there's really nothing to worry about in the written test. In order to make the two poor students pass the written test, he even specially placed them in the middle of several top students, with Orochimaru on the left, Tsunade on the right, and Hiruzen sitting in front.

Even if the two people really don't want to move their pens, they can still write the word "pass" on their blank papers against their will.

I believe other countries would do the same. No one would let their genius fail in a written test, right?

Perhaps this is the rare tacit understanding between the various ninja villages?

"Lily! You're here!"

The voice arrived before the person arrived. Al swore that this was the only one in the village that made him so helpless.

Sometimes I feel so helpless that I want to curse, but when I think about how I did keep them waiting for a while for the mission, I have to swallow my words.

Looking at the bouquet of flowers carefully prepared by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the pair of bright eyes that remained after experiencing countless setbacks, Aldo wanted to tell him

Brother, I'm a man, and what I take out is bigger than yours, so put away your power now!

"It's Hiruzen." Al pushed the flowers he handed over back helplessly.

"Don't send flowers next time. Miss Biwako should be getting rich thanks to you."

Biwako is the owner of the flower shop that Sarutobi Hiruzen often visits. He is known as the Flower of Konoha along with Al and Utatane Koharu.

In the past few years, whenever Sarutobi Hiruzen had time, he would go to Biwako's shop to buy flowers. Sometimes when he passed by the flower shop on his way back, Biwako would comfort him. As time went by, the two became familiar with each other.

"Biwako is a jonin, she won't care about my small amount of money." Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand nonchalantly and put the flowers in his hand into the grass by the roadside.

"Hiruzen, you are already grown up, it's time to start a family," Al looked up and advised seriously.

Maybe it's a bit hypocritical, but after so many years, he really regards this person as a good brother and doesn't want this brother to waste his time on him, even if this brother has impure intentions towards him.

"I have been working hard to start a family." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Al's face with a stubborn expression. This cold face still amazed him today as if he had just met him for the first time.

This person who has haunted me for more than ten years, every time I think of him, I toss and turn and have trouble falling asleep

He admitted that it was love at first sight, just like the one he pursued before, Koharu Utatane.

But after fourteen years, all my passion and impulse have turned into love that fills my chest.

What about you, Altria, have you ever been attracted to me in the slightest?

"Hiruzen, you will become the pillar of Konoha in the future, you shouldn't waste your time on me."

"How can it be a waste! Artoria, I..." Perhaps it was the emotionless look that hurt him, Hiruzen, who never blushed in front of Artoria, suddenly exploded.

It was as if the defense line that I had built up in my heart for fourteen years collapsed in an instant, and the grievances hidden in my heart burst out along with it.

"Hiruzen, you still have a bright future ahead of you. Love shouldn't be everything in your life."

Seeing the stubbornness in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, Al felt a little headache for a moment.

If Chief Sarutobi hadn't come to talk to him a few days ago, he wouldn't have said it so decisively.

The Sarutobi clan leader clearly stated that if he had no interest in Hiruzen, he should be decisive in making him give up.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is now in his twenties, not young anymore, not young for any family heir.

In other words, the Sarutobi clan needs a third generation to stabilize the family.

Hardening his heart, Al was determined that this matter must be resolved today. He simply raised his head and said coldly, "Hiruzen, I'm telling you straight, I don't have any thoughts about you in that regard. We can only be friends."

This was not the first time he had said this, but it had never been so cold today. Not only the words, but even the tone was cold.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood there in a daze, his emotions surging and he couldn't speak.

"Dingling bell~"

Just then, a quick bell rang, indicating that the exam time was over. The candidates came out with different expressions, but the members of Team Al were all chatting leisurely.

Al quickly went over to ask about the situation. Jiraiya immediately put his hands on his waist and looked proud. Gao Wen, who was also a poor student, also had an expression asking for praise, which made Tsunade feel disgusted.

Sarutobi Hiruzen in the corner watched this scene, feeling sad, and turned around and left.

He thought, he needed to be quiet, he needed to adjust his emotions

Maybe what Lily said was right. He was insane before. He was in the world of ninja, a place where he didn't know when he would die and return to the throne of heroes. But his heart and eyes were full of illusory love. This was his fault.

Unconsciously, he walked to the street

I remember the last time I subconsciously walked here was also because of Lily... the time before that was also... ah... the time before that...

Why is this happening? After more than a decade, there is still no improvement. Am I really that bad?

"Oh, why is Lord Hiruzen crying?" The girl's teasing voice reached his ears, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was so scared that he subconsciously wiped his face, but found nothing.

been played!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to glare at him, but he found that he had already stood beside him.

"Rejected again?" Biwako joked with a smile. Every time this man pursued Lily, he would come to her place to buy flowers, and then soon he would come back here in despair.

He is really infatuated. He has persisted for more than ten years. I don't know why Lily just won't agree to him, and why Hiruzen still persists.

Are the thoughts of big people so difficult to understand?

"What do you mean again?" Hiruzen was instantly unhappy, and it sounded like he had been hit many times, but looking at those teasing eyes, his momentum weakened again.

It’s just a failure. Lord Rizen has long been accustomed to it. He will definitely succeed next time!

"Why don't you give up? Lily has clearly rejected you." Biwako was a little confused.

"Because of love!" Sarutobi Hiruzen replied firmly

He looked at Lake Biwa with stubbornness and determination in his eyes.

"Just like you like opening a flower shop, I just like Lily! If you ask me why, I don't know, but I know I won't give up!"

"Aren't you afraid that Chief Sarutobi will break your legs? Didn't you say last time that Chief Sarutobi is already very dissatisfied with your behavior?"

"What can an old man know! If he pushes me again, I'll go to the Daimyo to be a guardian ninja!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said it very firmly, but Biwako, who knew him well, knew that he was just talking. In fact, Hiruzen respected his father Sarutobi Sasuke very much.

Things like becoming a guardian nin in a fit of anger are just words. Sarutobi Hiruzen and his son Sarutobi Asuma are still different.
