Then they lowered their hands, each extending a finger to press against their temples as they sighed. Sure enough, the two of them intended to reprimand him for a while.
After listening to the report from the ninja below, I already felt uncomfortable. Yet now I had to listen to this again, and it made me even more uncomfortable. Oh God, this was so annoying!
However, the two of them were advisors, and sometimes they did offer good advice. As a result, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only endure their verbal attacks. As for Kakashi, just as the two were about to speak, Hiruzen gestured for him to leave first.
After all, he was the Hokage. If others saw the Hokage being lectured, how embarrassing would that be? Where would that leave the Hokage's dignity?
After giving Sarutobi Hiruzen an earful, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura concluded their speech and began delivering their final verdict.
"Sarutobi, although this is rude, we have to say it. Time truly is a merciless weapon. You're old. You've done well in your duties as Huo Ying. It's time to retire."
"Mm, I've already planned to do that. Didn't I tell you about Tsunade?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not mind Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura's bluntness at all, because what they said was true. Hiruzen himself had felt more than once that he sometimes lacked strength or found himself confused.
"Fine. Then there is Mirai's disposition. Sarutobi, tell us your opinion."
Mitokado Homura coughed lightly, then narrowed his eyes at Sarutobi Hiruzen. "Although Danzo has always been on bad terms with you, and you have always protected Mirai, this time, you cannot—"
"I know. As for Mirai's treatment, tell me what you think. I know you've already considered how to deal with him."
Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Mitokado Homura.
