Sarutobi Hiruzen Put down the pipe, the tobacco burned quietly, wisps of smoke lingered, and the muddy old eyes were like famous swords, penetrating into people's hearts.
"How about Hatake Kakashi? Konoha White Fang's son also made a lot of contributions in this war."
Mitokado Homura opened his mouth to recommend, Danzo nodded slightly, Hatake Kakashi is indeed a talent, but it is a pity that the teacher is Namikaze Minato, otherwise he would probably have included him as Root Division.
"Hatake Kakashi has another mission recently. He is qualified to lead the team independently. The ninja team that signs a peace treaty with Mist Hidden must be the best of the best. Don't you want to send someone?"
The topic changed and Sarutobi Hiruzen said loudly, the probing meaning in his words almost made it clear that Gen's recent actions were too blatant.
"Forget it, talents will wither after a war. Since you don't have a suitable candidate, how about I recommend an outstanding talent, Uchiha Hanazuki?"
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu looked at each other in confusion. Uchiha Hanazuki, if he goes to Mist Hidden, I am afraid that the peace treaty ceremony will immediately turn into a declaration of war ceremony.
"It just so happens that Kirigakure's conditions include the return of the seven Ninja Blades. He will also be notified of the necessary compensation conditions later. After all, it is a personal trophy."
While he was talking, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly interrupted. This unexpected move made Danzo's veins pop out.
"After Uchiha Hanazuki's mission is over, let him work under Namikaze Minato. I heard that he is Uchiha Obito's friend, and I would be happy to take Obito's place."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's purpose was obvious. Danzo's face became increasingly ugly. He hit the cane heavily in his hand and asked sternly.
"What do you mean? Monkey!"
Let Uchiha Hanazuki replace Uchiha Obito and become Namikaze Minato's subordinate. This is clearly an attempt to win over Uchiha and want Uchiha Hanazuki to become Namikaze Minato's successor to Fourth Hokage.
"It's nothing, I just want to ease the relationship we have always had with Uchiha. The affairs of the new era will be handled by the people of the new era. We old guys should take the opportunity to abdicate and trust those outstanding children."
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, not paying attention to Danzo's cold expression, and turned around to leave.
"Now that the monkey has decided, just carry it out like this. There is really no more suitable candidate besides him at the moment."
The two Hokage Advisor turned around and left. Danzo snorted coldly and walked away quickly with a cane in hand.
The sky is overcast, the stars are dim, and outside Konoha, there is a dark corner that no one can notice.
"It seems that Sarutobi is determined to promote Namikaze Minato to become Fourth Hokage. We need to prepare early."
A burst of laughter made Danzo fall into doubt. He turned his head and looked at the figure with cold and hard lines and a look that was hard to make people feel good about.
"What are you laughing at? Orochimaru."
"For him, even my most proud disciple gave up. As expected of Teacher Sarutobi, he is really hard-hearted."
"In order to achieve our goal, the methods we use have to become tough and dirty. The necessary preparations have been completed. I will not give up easily. The position of Hokage..."
The smile is cold, and the being who has the right to speak to Konoha is not limited to Konoha. It is not the character of a snake to want him to easily give up the prey that is on his lips.
A snake that is able to give up its prey cannot eat anything again unless it has eaten and drank enough before, but its Orochimaru appetite cannot be satisfied by just one Hokage.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
In the Hokage office building, Mission Briefing Hall is recuperating. Hua Yue, who is getting used to the new Mangekyo pupil technique, twitches his mouth and wonders if Third Hokage is suffering from Alzheimer's disease?
"Ah? Are you crazy for asking me to be the envoy to conclude a peace treaty?"
His brows kept twitching, and Sarutobi Hiruzen knew it would be like this. He coughed twice, and Minato on the side explained softly.
"One of the conditions for Kirigakure to agree to the peace treaty is Ninja Blade of Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Lord Third Hokage and I have always believed in Hua Yue's ability. If Mist Hidden has malicious intentions, he can easily leave Land of Water, right?"
With a soft smile on his face, Minato kept praising Hua Yue's talents in a serious tone. If he were an ordinary Uchiha, he would have lost himself under this shower of praises and would have wished to swear allegiance to Konoha on the spot.
But, is Hua Yue an ordinary Uchiha? Can you just say a few nice words to get over it?
"Don't do this, where is Kakashi? Can't you just let him go? I've been busy recently and don't have time to go out and perform tasks."
"Only you can complete this task. Hatake Kakashi is performing another task."
As soon as he said this, Hua Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and tried to make a sentence.
"What mission?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato looked at each other, sighed quietly, and said softly.
"Recently, no, there are traces from a few years ago. Someone is conducting some kind of inhumane experiment. Many children have been lost near the village. Kakashi is tracing..."
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish speaking, Hua Yue chuckled inwardly, remembering his annoying teacher who hadn't shown up for a long time.
"I understand, Mist Hidden will let me come and go there. The corresponding thing is..."
The unexpected conditions made Third Hokage frown in thought, while Namikaze Minato smiled warmly. After getting the promise from these two people, Hua Yue went home, packed his bags, and rushed to Mist Hidden.
"What do you think? I didn't expect him to propose such a condition. It really surprises me."
"Is there anything wrong with this? With Hua Yue's experience on the battlefield, those buds representing hope will also grow stronger, Master Third Hokage."
Namikaze Minato's gentle smile was so different from his serious and cold expression on the battlefield that it was enough to make everyone gasp.
"It always feels like it's not that simple, Uchiha Hanazuki. Even I can't see through it. If you want to ease the relationship between Uchiha and the village, your other apprentice Uchiha Obito is actually more suitable."
"The facts are often not satisfactory. Speaking of which, you and Kushina..."
Minato coughed for a while, Third Hokage smiled, turned around and left.
"If you have a child of your own, you must inform us as soon as possible. Jinchuriki's delivery has been no small matter since the village was founded. Do you understand?"
"It's a pity that it was during the war. It's a pity that I didn't drink your wedding wine, hahahaha..."
The old and dishonest Sarutobi Hiruzen left the desk, leaving Minato with an embarrassed face. At this moment, Sarutobi suddenly wanted to walk around the village and experience the hard-won peace in the village.
A few days later, the sea breeze was gentle and the sun was bright. The boat drifted with the current and sailed into the long-lasting thick fog.
At the Land of Water border, he looked at Kirigakure Ninja who was blocking him in front of him. Under the mask of Three-Eyed Demon Fox, a burst of laughter rang out, which meant something inexplicable.
