Yuki Yuzuru continued.
"Of course, you don't have to come. If you don't come, Elder Shaoyu said that he will bring an army to Konoha to visit you in person. At that time, it will no longer be a negotiation."
Anbu next to him had a pale face.
This is forced uterus.
Naked pussy.
Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and looked at the Kumogakure Jonin in front of him.
"Uchiha Shaoyu What do you want to talk about?"
Yuki Yuzuru shook his head.
"I don't know about that. Elder Shaoyu only said that you must come in person."
He paused, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Of course, you can bring guards. But Elder Shaoyu said that if you bring too many guards, he will think you are not sincere."
A naked threat.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen is not angry.
He just closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, and his former calmness returned to his cloudy eyes.
"Tell Uchiha Shaoyu." His voice was steady, "I will go in three days."
Yuki Yuzuru nodded with satisfaction.
"Then we are waiting for Third Hokage to arrive."
He bowed and saluted again, then turned around and strode away.
The door is closed.
There was a deathly silence in the lounge.
Minato looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, his eyes full of worry.
"Lord Third... Do you really want to go?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't answer, just stared at the map spread on the tatami.
After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly raised his head and looked at Minato.
In those cloudy eyes, there was no despair and exhaustion before, only a calmness that Minato had never seen before.
"Minato."
"Here."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked a question.
"Do you want to be Hokage?"
Minato was stunned.
This question came so suddenly and unexpectedly that he didn't know how to answer it.
"I..." He opened his mouth, "Lord Third, now is not the time to talk about this..."
"Let me ask you, do you want to?" Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted him, his voice calm but unquestionable.
Minato looked at him, was silent for a moment, and then nodded slowly.
"I think." His voice was firm, "I've thought about it since I was a child. Didn't every Konoha ninja's childhood dream be to become Hokage?"
The corners of Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile of relief.
"Okay." He said, "Okay."
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at Konoha under the sunset outside the window.
"After this negotiation, I will abdicate."
!!!!!!!!
"Lord Third, you must not say that. Now Konoha, what should I do if I leave you?"
Minato said anxiously.
When he was very young, the old man in front of him was Hokage, and he was his hero.
He never thought that the man in front of him would show such a posture.
Lord Hokage, are you really old...
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head gently.
"Minato, after this time, I realized that I am really old. Konoha, I need the leadership of young people like you."
He walked up to Minato and patted him on the shoulder.
"You are young, talented, responsible, and have the heart of the people. Although you did not save the defeat in this war, everyone saw your performance."
His voice is deep.
"Minato, you are my most promising successor."
As for Orochimaru, he is doing a lot of things he shouldn't be doing now...
Minato's eyes felt a little sore.
"Lord Third..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand to prevent him from continuing.
"In three days, you go with me." He said, "Orochimaru will go too, and bring a few more Jonin. It doesn't have to be many people, but it has to be substantial."
Minato nodded.
"As for whether I can come back..." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, with both bitterness and relief in the smile, "Just leave it to fate."
Three days later.
Konoha Outside the gate.
A group of ten people, ready to go.
The leader is Sarutobi Hiruzen. He is wearing a Hokage robe and a Hokage bamboo hat on his head. His waist is straight, and he does not look like he was lying on the tatami dying three days ago.
On his left are Minato Namikaze and Yellow Flash, the strongest ninjas of the younger generation. On his right is one of Orochimaru and Konoha Sannin. The injury on his chest has not healed yet, but he can already walk normally.
His face was still pale, but those purple snake eyes still shone with the calmness and sharpness of the past.
Behind him are seven jounin, all of whom are the backbone of Konoha. They are quite powerful but not very famous.
Sarutobi Hiruzen specially selected these people. They must have fighting ability but not be too aggressive.
"Let's go." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
Ten people stepped forward, heading towards the town that decided the fate of Konoha.
Outside town.
Kumogakure's army has been stationed here for three days.
The camps stretched for several miles, with flags flapping in the wind. The patrolling ninjas were in groups of three, with neat steps and sharp eyes, exuding the aura of an elite who had fought a hundred battles.
Outside a house in the center of the town, Uchiha Shaoyu was sitting on a chair, closing his eyes and relaxing.
Behind him stood Lianhuo, and several Kumogakure Jonin.
E Tu's huge body was lying on the side, with his two heads drooped, as if he was dozing off.
"My lord."
A Kumogakure ninja ran over and knelt down on one knee, "Konoha's people are here. Third Hokage personally leads the team, a total of ten people."
Shaoyu Open your eyes.
"Let him in."
The door was pushed open.
Three figures walked in.
The leader is Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He was wearing the iconic Hokage robe, and the bamboo hat on his head had been taken off, revealing his old and tired face.
Although his waist is straight, Shaoyu can tell at a glance that this Third Hokage is old.
Really old.
On his left is Minato Namikaze, and on his right is Orochimaru.
Shaoyu smiled.
"Third Hokage." He stood up, bowed slightly, and gave a polite salute, "Long time no see."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him and was silent for a moment.
Of course he remembered the person in front of him.
Uchiha Clan's genius boy.
Later, he defected.
He took eleven tribesmen and defected to Kumogakure.
Later, he became the elder of Kumogakure, the enemy of Konoha, and the winner of today's war.
"Long time no see." Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was hoarse, "The last time we met, you were Konoha's ninja."
Shaoyu nodded, the smile on his lips getting deeper.
"Yeah."
He said, "At that time, I was just an ordinary Uchiha kid. I trained and did tasks every day, and occasionally went to Hokage Rock to see a few Lord Hokage statues. I never thought that one day I would come back in this way."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes twitched slightly.
This is irony.
Naked irony.
You can't imagine it, and I can't even imagine it.
If I had known that you would become what you are today, I should have...
