Meanwhile, Hokage's Office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting behind the desk, holding two documents that had just been handed over in his hands, with a deep frown on his brows.
The tobacco in the pipe has been replaced by the third pot.
The copy on the left was personally delivered by the director of the psychiatry department Konoha Hospital.
"Recommendation on the Comprehensive Deterioration of Teacher Ninja Academy Teacher Gang Ziyun's Condition and Lifelong Compulsory Confinement".
It is clearly written in black and white.
The patient has suffered severe and irreversible cognitive pollution. Currently, whenever he hears the words "night", "repeat a grade" and "graduation ceremony", he will have a severe stress reaction.
Hiruzen's eyelids jumped at the sight.
The one on the right is the class list of the Ninja Academy graduates this year.
The name on it was circled and crossed out by Red Pen, and the paper was almost scratched by him.
The distribution of others is actually not difficult.
Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara.
These three people just fit together as a group.
A genius, a passionate person, and a medical talent, with complementary personalities and balanced strengths.
Only the name at the top made Hiruzen sit here from morning until now.
Uchiha Ye.
Hiruzen rubbed his swollen temples and couldn't help but sigh.
At the age of 9, his strength is close to Jonin.
The amount of Chakra is so outrageous that Multiple Shadow Clone can be separated continuously.
He can also single-handedly suppress Obito Uchiha who opened Two-Tomoe Sharingan, and the genius Kakashi Hatake.
More importantly.
This kid's ability to make trouble is ten thousand times more terrifying than his talent.
The head teacher was tortured to the point of schizophrenia and sent to the hospital. Who should take care of such a living hell?
Hiruzen stared at the list, the more he looked at it, the more headache he got.
Who should take care of such a living father?
He went through Elite Jonin in the village from beginning to end in his mind.
I thought about it over and over all day long.
My three apprentices, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya.
Eliminate it first.
Tsunade Because of hemophobia, I feel like vomiting when I see the words Konoha. I have already left the village and gone to drink somewhere.
Jiraiya Tenten wandered around under the guise of looking for Child of Prophecy, collecting materials by the way, but couldn't even touch a human figure.
As for Orochimaru...
Hiruzen Thinking of those increasingly cold eyes, I immediately said no.
Recently, Orochimaru plunged into the underground laboratory and often missed regular meetings.
That look in his eyes almost made him see the light in the experimental subject.
Let him come into contact with the Uchiha bloodline?
It's not necessary.
Then...Hatake Sakumo?
Hiruzen When I thought of this name, I felt weak for no reason and fell silent.
Since returning from the last border mission, Sakumo realized that someone in the top management was deliberately leaking information in an attempt to assassinate him, so he immediately retreated to the second line.
A few days ago, Hiruzen came to visit in person and tentatively mentioned the matter of leading a team.
He even made a vague comment that he suspected that the person behind the whole incident was hiding among the senior officials.
Hiruzen chose Hexini at that time and did not respond positively.
Sakumo is also very simple.
Forget about the polite words and just serve tea to see the guests off.
From that day on, he never came to Hokage Building again.
The thin layer of trust between the two was shattered.
It became a thorn in Hiruzen's heart that he couldn't remove.
The senior management really chilled White Fang this time.
Then let Jonin from Uchiha's family take charge?
Hiruzen held his pipe in his mouth and shook his head without thinking.
No.
Absolutely not.
He's not that stupid yet.
This is a high-level red line.
Once this opening is opened, Uchiha Clan can continue to expand their influence among the new generation through the teacher-instructor relationship.
At that time, the existing political balance of Konoha will be torn apart on the spot.
That is the real danger of raising tigers.
After eliminating all these candidates.
There is only one person left who is qualified, capable, has a good temper, can hold his own, and cannot be too involved with Uchiha and other factions.
Minato Namikaze.
This kid is the apprentice of Jiraiya, and is absolutely directly connected to Hokage.
He has a sunny and gentle personality, and he acts extremely cautiously without making any mistakes.
The most important thing is that Minato mastered Flying Thunder God.
Once Uchiha Ye causes any trouble, Minato is the only person in the whole village who can forcibly stop the other party immediately.
Perfect.
Hiruzen picked up the brush soaked in ink and was just about to write Minato Namikaze after Ye's name when the tip of the pen hung above the list.
Bang!
The heavy solid wood door of the office was violently kicked open by someone from the outside, and it bounced twice against the wall.
Shimura Danzō strode in with a gloomy face.
Hiruzen frowned and put the pen tip on the paper.
Danzo, What's the matter?
Danzo walked quickly to the desk, with no intention of making small talk. He put his hands on the table and spoke condescendingly, speaking in a cold and direct tone.
"Hiruzen, I'm here to ask for someone."
Hiruzen's heart sank.
At this time, Hokage's Office came to ask for someone, and there was no need to guess the target.
Danzo didn't talk nonsense at all, he spoke four words directly.
"Uchiha Ye."
The office was quiet for a moment.
Hiruzen put down the brush and pipe in his hand, and his eyes changed.
"Impossible."
Danzo's eyes suddenly shrank, and his face instantly darkened.
Hiruzen slowly knocked the ashes from his pipe and lowered his voice a bit.
"Danzo, give up this idea."
"Even if I agree, Uchiha Clan will never agree."
"The relationship between the village and Uchiha is already at its most sensitive moment."
"Any extra movement may be the last straw that breaks the balance."
"Have you ever thought about what kind of signal Uchiha, who already has a grudge against the village, would interpret it as a signal after this incident spreads?"
After saying these words, even Danzo was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Hiruzen would agree to his request.
But how could Hiruzen agree?
Where is Root?
It is a place where emotions are deprived, self is erased, and people are trained into tools.
If the night adjustment is really carried out, Uchiha will be reversed tomorrow.
Danzo After listening, his chest heaved violently.
The next second, he stepped forward suddenly and slapped his hand on the desk.
Snap!
The tea cup was knocked over.
Several confidential documents and class lists slipped from the edge of the table and floated to the floor.
"Hiruzen!"
"Do you know what you are doing?!"
Danzo lowered his body, his eyes were full of anger, and his voice exploded in the office.
"That kid mastered the Multiple Shadow Clone forbidden technique at the age of seven!"
"Strength is comparable to Jonin!"
"Also own Three-Tomoe Sharingan!"
"You want to leave this completely uncontrollable monster in the sun?"
"Are you waiting for him to become the second Madara Uchiha?!"
Danzo became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Give him to Root!"
"I can turn him into Konoha's sharpest knife!"
"I can completely break him out of Uchiha's control!"
"What are you afraid of?"
"Afraid of Uchiha's group of sick-minded guys causing trouble?!"
Faced with Danzo's almost face-to-face questioning, Hiruzen did not get angry.
He just slowly stood up from the chair.
Put your hands on the table.
Those eyes that were already slightly cloudy finally revealed the sharpness that belonged to Shinobi Hero.
He looked straight at Danzo, his voice was not loud, but it made the whole office sink.
"Of course I know what I'm doing."
Hiruzen looked directly into Danzo's eyes and asked:
"I would like to ask you, Danzo."
"Do you know what you are doing?"
