Hiruzen Sarutobi brought all kinds of gifts, his face beaming with benevolence, and came to the hospital to personally visit the injured ninjas who had returned from the front lines.
"Lord Hokage!"
"The Hokage!"
"Third Hokage..."
The Konoha Ninjas were deeply moved.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, he comforted them with warm words, stating that the injured would certainly receive allowances, while the families of the deceased would receive even greater compensation!
Afterward.
Hiruzen Sarutobi walked toward Senju Gō's ward.
Quite a few people had gathered there.
Many of the ninjas from the front lines had already recovered. Only Senju Gō remained unconscious, but Tsunade had said he would awaken today, so everyone was there.
"Senju-Uchiha-Hyuga..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally knew about this alliance.
He did not need Danzo to remind him. He was not an idiot.
But.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew about it, so why should he suppress it?
The New Senju had Tsunade and Senju Gō, so he was at ease. He believed Tsunade was a good girl.
Hiruzen Sarutobi could understand the scandal involving Senju Gō's earlier exposure of the Wood Style research. After all, Senju Gō was the victim. He had every reason to resent it, and he ought to resent it.
Now, Senju Gō had made an enormous contribution to the village.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was gratified.
Young talents like this were the future of the village.
As for the Uchiha Clan, he had met Uchiha Fugaku many times. Only when it came to matters of principle, such as the previous incident of the "Sharingan being researched," would he be exceptionally unyielding. At other times, Uchiha Fugaku did not seem firm enough to be a concern.
As for the New Hyuga Clan, although it had changed greatly by now, Hizashi Hyuga understood politics and was not an ambitious schemer.
