Rated Hokage

"Have you arrived yet?"

The curtain on the carriage was lifted, revealing a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes sitting inside.

This is an extremely luxurious motorcade, with more than a few hundred people waiting in the front and rear, and around the most luxurious chariot, there are twelve people dressed as ninjas, each wearing a loincloth with the word "fire" around their waists.

The middle-aged man stepped down from the carriage and stepped on a man's stool. Looking at the Konoha gate in front of him, he was indeed quite grand compared to ordinary villages and towns.

"Master Yuan."

Three generations of Hokage led a group of ninjas who had already been waiting here, and when they saw this middle-aged Hou Sarutobi, they immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Third Hokage, long time no see." The middle-aged man said with a faint smile.

"The daimyo comes to Konoha in person, and makes Konoha flourish."

This middle-aged man is the current name of Fire Nation.

Sarutobi was also very surprised when he heard the news that Daimyo was going to visit Konoha, but he immediately made preparations to welcome him.

"You don't need to be so polite." Master Yuan waved his hand, holding a folding fan in his hand.

He turned around and looked at the team that came with him behind him, "Konoha is financially tight now, so I won't entertain you, go to a nearby town to rest."

Sarutobi was a little embarrassed to hear such words.

Except for the Guardian Twelve, the accompanying convoy just changed direction and left here.

"Let's go, Sandaime, you want to show me around Konoha."

"It's natural."

The news that the fire country daimyo came to Konoha quickly spread throughout Konoha, which made many people doubt.

With a daimyo's noble body, why would he come to a corner like Konoha, and even say that he wants to pay homage to a hero who died for the country? This is the first time that such a situation has occurred.

Except for Hokage and a small number of high-level Konoha, people from Konoha's major families rarely have close contact with the daimyo, and their feelings for the daimyo are also very subtle. The Kingdom of Fire also governs such a country.

But being able to get close to daimyo is naturally a good thing for Konoha, especially in this period.

At the request of the daimyo, Sandai Hokage took him directly to the comfort monument.

Looking at the surrounding tombs and the densely packed names on the mourning stele, this Master Yuan was also deeply moved. He stood there quietly with his hands behind his back, opening and closing the folding fan in his hand.

"Three generations."

"Master Yuan."

"I heard that Konoha originally had an advantage in the war with Iwanin."

Yuan Fei was startled when he heard the words, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

He had no choice but to say: "Master Yuan should also understand that the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and a momentary victory or defeat means nothing."

"Really?" Yuan-sama turned around and looked at Sarutobi, the meaning of the smile on the corner of his mouth was hard to understand.

"How did I hear that Konoha suffered so many defeats because of the evil spirits?"

Sarutobi could no longer feel the kindness in these words, so he bit the bullet and responded: "Master Yuan is really insightful."

Gen-sama continued to ask: "Three generations, you said that these sacrificed people, if they knew that they died because of this, how would they feel? Who should be responsible for this?"

Sarutobi's heart sank, and then he said: "It's me who is not strict in governing, and I should be responsible for it. After defeating Kirigakure, I will step down from the position of Hokage, and then I will be punished by Master Yuan."

Gen-sama just watched Sarutobi stop all the guilt, watched for a while, and then smiled suddenly: "The third generation is too serious, and no one wants to see such a thing as an inner ghost. How can we use it?" Punish yourself by using other people's tricks, isn't this just playing into the enemy's hands."

"Konoha Village still needs you to lead, and the war with Kirigakure also depends on you, Third Generation."

"Thank you Yuan-sama for understanding." Yuan Fei bowed.

Gen-sama walked up to Sarutobi, with a kind smile on his face: "It's just that it's better to end this ghost matter as soon as possible, otherwise if it affects the war with Kirigakure, it will really be a death sentence." Blame."

"Master Yuan, don't worry, we are doing our best to thoroughly investigate the matter of the inner ghost."

"That's good." Master Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

He stood there and watched the surrounding scenery. The tombs were surrounded by dense and lush forests. Looking back, passing through the red torii gate was the main road of Konoha.

"Three generations, I plan to live in Konoha for a few days, what do you think?"

"Master Yuan was joking. Konoha is also under your rule. You can stay as long as you want. Don't ask my opinion. I'm afraid that a small place like ours will make you condescend."

"Hahaha, that's it."

Muye Village came to honor the Buddha, which made Sarutobi feel strong anxiety in his heart. He didn't know why the daimyo put aside his own state affairs and came to his small village. He couldn't be negligent in the slightest. Kirigakure's war can all be supported by this Gen-sama in the rear.

As for the inner ghost, Sarutobi didn't have many clues, what was certain was that this person's status in the village was not low, and all traces were handled very cleanly, making it impossible for him to start.

The list of high-level officials in the village has been screened countless times in his mind, and the names of some people have been put on and taken down by him in places of suspicion.

There were also people who hinted to him in private that who was involved in this matter, but he didn't want to believe it without the slightest evidence.

Now that the big names are here to put pressure on him because of this matter, he must come up with the results as soon as possible.

The news came back from the front that Minato's troops had encountered Mist Ninja, but it was only a small number of troops, and they were easily defeated.

Minato took the initiative to lead people to attack to find the enemy, but Wu Ninja circled around with him, avoiding a frontal battle with Konoha.

Unlike Iwa Ninja, the sea is behind Mist Ninja, which also prevents Minato and the others from going deep, playing a game of cat and mouse with Mist Ninja on their own border.

Although the Kirigakure ninjas have been hiding in Tibet, they are not easy to deal with. The well-known Kirigakure seven swords have brought great trouble to Konoha Shinobi, and Minato has not been able to touch them many times.

But ordinary teams would be miserable if they met them, they were no match for these seven people at all.

Such a situation gave Minato a sense of powerlessness.

He wrote back to the village, saying that he planned to set up a temporary camp at the border and asked the village to support him.

The letter reached the daimyo's hands, and Gen-sama sent someone to ask the ministers to prepare supplies without saying a word.

This also made Sarutobi feel a little bit emotional, maybe it's a good thing that the daimyo came, he used to be embarrassed to ask him for something in a letter, but now he can directly explain the situation to him.

The daimyo does not participate in Sarutobi's command of the war and the internal affairs of the village, and only makes a money bag and mascot in Konoha.

It's just that when he is bored, he will call some theater troupes, geisha dancers and other people into the village from time to time.

Sometimes he called Yuan Fei to enjoy the singing and dancing together, which made Yuan Fei sometimes lament the corruption of the ruler.

very nice.
