Uchiha Chen didn't know what happened at the patriarch's house, and he had no time to care about it, because at the end of the training in the evening, he knew a very bad thing...
Kushina wanted to participate in Chunin Exams, but did not get the consent of Third Hokage.
Sister, do you think you are an ordinary person?
It is no exaggeration to say that if I had to choose between Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Asuma, Third Hokage would shoot his youngest son on the wall without even blinking.
So can you make your own decisions about this kind of thing? Don't you have any idea in your mind?
And...
"Didn't you tell me that Third Hokage has agreed?!"
Uchiha Chen's right hand turned into a knife shape and struck Little Fox on the head.
Kushina was in pain and covered his head with both hands. He quickly hid behind Mikoto. After a while, he poked his head out and said, "Big Fox asked me to do this."
"Poof!" Nine-Tails, who was watching forcefully in the cage, almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Let me take the blame again...
Uchiha Chen was unmoved by Kushina's explanation, and continued to ask, "Have you told Third Hokage about Chunin Exams?"
"Said... but he was vague and said we would talk about it later."
"It seems there is still hope."
Kushina leaned out half of his body excitedly. "Really?"
Seeing the knife coming at her again, she quickly retreated.
Uchiha Chen shook his head helplessly. "Let's not talk about this for now, do you have other things to lie to me about?"
"No more!"
"You can only lie zero times and countless times. If you let me find out next time, Mikoto won't be able to save you."
Kushina revealed half of his head and made a face. "Next time, I will definitely not let you find out."
Uchiha Chen: "..."
After that, it was noisy for a while, and seeing the night slowly sinking, at Kushina's suggestion, the three of them went to a new barbecue restaurant opened by Konoha and had a big meal.
After sending Kushina and Mikoto home respectively, along the long street, Uchiha Chen did not return to his home, but turned around and walked towards the Hokage office building.
It's already eight o'clock in the evening, and I think Third Hokage is almost done with the chores.
After being informed by the person at the door Guardian Ninja, Uchiha Chen quickly entered the room on the third floor.
This is not his first time here. As usual, there are still a lot of official documents piled up in the office.
Hokage It's really hard work.
He looked at the scene in front of him and sighed, but that was all.
Seeing the young man walking in, Third Hokage, who was sitting behind the desk, closed the file in front of him, picked up his pipe and took a deep puff. Large white smoke drifted toward the window in circles.
"Chen, you're here, sit down quickly." Third Hokage said hello with a smile.
"Yes, Hokage Uncle." Uchiha Chen nodded, then walked to the chair and sat down.
Third Hokage is very satisfied with the boy's title, which at least shows that the two of them have not become unfamiliar with the passage of time.
This is very good. Compared with the cold relationship between superiors and subordinates, Sarutobi Hiruzen prefers to use emotions to restrain a person.
"Chen, what have you been busy with lately?"
"You're just busy, Team One was split up, I've been training with Mikoto and Kushina recently."
"Well, I heard about this." Third Hokage nodded.
"This is the right thing to do. Jiraiya and Tsunade are not doing their jobs all day long. They either go to the casino or are addicted to collecting information. I have said it many times and they don't listen!
And Orochimaru, who is obviously the leading teacher of Team One, doesn't care about anything and just throws it all at you, not letting me worry about any of it. "
Third Hokage talked about family matters for a while, and then turned to mention today's events. "By the way, Chen, why do you have time to come to me, an old man, at this time?"
Uchiha Chen immediately brought up the matter of Kushina.
Third Hokage thought for a moment, "She also told me about it, but I didn't agree.
Chen, you need to know one thing. Since the kidnapping, the information that Kushina is Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has been placed on the desks of every village shadow.
If she is allowed to participate in Chunin Exams like this... how can she ensure safety? "
"Hokage Uncle, not to mention that Chunin Exams is in our village this time, can we still restrain Kushina for the rest of his life?
And I have seen Four-Tails Jinchuriki and One-Tail Jinchuriki on the battlefield. Once they appear, they will have a huge impact on the entire battle situation. Such combat power..."
Third Hokage frowned. "Do you still have plans to let Kushina go to the battlefield? I thought that with the relationship between the two of you, you wouldn't let her be in danger."
Uchiha Chen shook his head and said, "On the contrary, it is because of our relationship that Kushina had to go through all this.
Neither I nor you, no matter how powerful they are, will never be the last line of defense to protect Kushina.
The last line of defense can only be herself! "
Third Hokage nodded. "What you said is right, but Konoha Village is very safe, isn't it?"
Uchiha Chen sighed, "If the village was really so safe, she wouldn't Cloud Shinobi be captured.
Even if we are hiding in the village, but trouble comes to our door, there are times when we are helpless Naihe Bridge. In this case, we can only rely on herself.
Kushina's combat experience is too weak, just like a child with huge power.
Therefore, whether it is for the sake of the village or for Kushina himself, she should be released appropriately instead of being trapped in the village like a prisoner.
I think this is what Grandma Mito wants to see! "
Third Hokage was silent for a long time, and then he sighed, "Speaking of which, Lady Mito, as the first generation Jinchuriki, has been trapped in a small courtyard for twenty years.
Although this is due to the death of Master First Hokage, it is not because we, the younger generation, are too incompetent!
If Lord First Hokage is still here, let alone Land of Fire, Shinobi World is so big, where can he go? "
Third Hokage took a long drag on his pipe, and then motioned for Uchiha Chen to come over.
An old man and a young man stood in front of the window like this, looking at the scenery outside: the lights were bright in the distance and seemed bustling; the smoke nearby sounded unusually quiet.
Third Hokage looked reminiscing. "At that time, I was only a few years older than you are now. Master First Hokage experienced that battle and was seriously injured, so he handed over the village to my teacher.
Later, regardless of everyone's opposition, he took Lady Mito with him, first to Land of Whirlpools, then to Senju's hometown, and Shinobi World other countries.
Thinking about it now, Master First Hokage should have known for a long time that Lady Mito would be trapped after his death, so he just made compensation in advance.
In fact, I am really ashamed of Lady Mito.
Before she died, I promised her that I would let Kushina live like an ordinary ninja, but I failed to do it. "
Third Hokage was silent for another moment, then continued, "You are right, Chunin Exams let her participate this time. As for what you said about going out to do tasks, you can take your time in the future.
Although I am Hokage, the village is not my home, especially when it comes to Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
It is inevitable that those old antiques will object, so things have to be done step by step, right? "
Uchiha Chen nodded. If Third Hokage agreed this time, he was already very satisfied. He didn't expect anything more. As for the future...
Sooner or later, he has the final say in this village!
"By the way, Chen, do you have anything else to say?"
It seemed like a casual question, but Uchiha Chen felt that Third Hokage had something to say, and then thought about what happened during the day...
He quickly said, "Young Clan Head came to me today and wanted my help to ask teacher Tsunade if I can heal his eyes."
Third Hokage nodded.
Anbu I reported this matter during the day. What can I do at this time? Of course it's the eyes.
After a little analysis, he could figure out the ins and outs, but Third Hokage still asked too much, so he was very satisfied with Uchiha Chen's performance.
"Uchiha Yama came to see me about this matter, but..."
Third Hokage walked to a shelf, took down a copy of Scroll from it, and handed it to Uchiha Chen.
"This is the Suna Ninja's accountability book. Take a look at it."
Uchiha Chen nodded, took it, and then opened Scroll to take a look.
The content of the accountability letter is very simple, accusing Konoha of escorting the troops to sneak attack them and causing them great losses.
After a while, Third Hokage said in a deep voice, "I have investigated the above content, and except for the heavy losses suffered by Suna Ninja, everything else is basically true. In other words, it was Uchiha Fugaku who acted first."
"I am Hokage. Even if Konoha is in the wrong, I still want to protect my villagers. You Uchiha Clan are one of the two major village-building families. Your father is my best friend, and I want to protect your family even more.
But again, although I am Hokage, a village, it is not my one-word hall.
I deliberately concealed this matter, but Naihe Bridge Konoha Elder Council and the elder Danzo refused to let go! "
Third Hokage sighed, "I won't talk about the problems in the village, but there is order among big countries.
You were also present at the time. We worked hard to sign the agreement. How could I suddenly break the agreement and hold Sunagakure accountable? Isn't this deliberately provoking a dispute?
If I really do this, what will other countries think of us, Konoha, and what will the ninjas in the village who want peace think of me, Third Hokage?
Therefore, I could only forcefully suppress all conflicts and say it was all for the sake of the village.
Chen, can you understand me? "
Uchiha Chen was stunned for a while. He finally understood now that Third Hokage said so much because he was worried that he would be instigated by Fugaku and alienate him from the village.
After all, his talent is too terrifying, and he is only twelve years old. He is like a piece of white paper that can be easily stained black.
Finally, Third Hokage took Uchiha Chen's hand again and said sincerely, "I know it's difficult for you, it's difficult for your family, and it's difficult for me, Hokage, so let's just make it difficult. After all, this village will still depend on you in the future."
Uchiha Chen I don't know how I walked out Hokage Building, but my head feels dizzy.
Speaking of which, if he didn't have a mature soul and had already formed his own values, he would have been brainwashed by Third Hokage.
But Uchiha Chen is also sure of one thing - Talk no Jutsu's technique really exists, and its power is amazing!
