NOVEL NEXT Chapter 179 Disturbed
Chapter 179 Confused
That day, Sarutobi Hiruzen was forced to recall the fear of having all the glory taken away by the appearance of the hero Hyuga Inaba, and the humiliation of having to grit his teeth and accept countless disadvantages!
Once Kumogakure's envoy died, the peace talks could no longer continue.
Moreover, after being given a serious injection by Hyuga Inaba using this incident, the morale of Konoha is now strong, the fighting spirit is unprecedentedly high, and they have never been so united and share the same hatred.
The voices of the warring faction have almost reached the sky. What else can a warring faction like Sarutobi Hiruzen do?
He can't do anything...
In the end, he could only watch as Hinata Inaba exercised his authority as an elder in front of him, made a series of targeted war plans, and swept all his previous efforts to pursue "peace" into the trash. .
From beginning to end, Sarutobi Hiruzen failed to make any effective counterattack.
I can only accept the price of failure passively and humiliatingly...
After it was over, Koharu and Mito Monobu went to bed still aggrieved.
"That damn Hyuuga brat, why did he suddenly change his mind? He... isn't he going to trade tailed beasts with Kumogakure?"
Back in the office of the Hokage Building, Koharu was so angry that he wanted to smash things.
They are not willing to give in!
The most important thing is that they don't understand where they lost.
As expected, the two sides competed for the right to negotiate with Kumogakure, and the scenario of our own side taking the lead and gaining the upper hand did not unfold at all!
When Hinata Inaba came back, she immediately turned over the table and stopped playing with them!
Even Yunyin's people were directly killed by him!
caught them off guard.
When Koharu and Mito Katoen went to bed angrily and jointly denounced Hinata Inaba, Sarutobi Hiruzen was uncharacteristically sitting behind his desk, smoking alone.
Mito Katoyan vented for a while before he noticed it, turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Monkey, say something!"
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not answer, but immediately stood up and strode out.
"I'm going to do something, you guys talk first."
After saying that, he opened the door and left without looking back.
Koharu and Mito Kadoyan were left to sleep in the room, looking at each other with uneasiness in their hearts.
After leaving the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not overestimate his ability and run to trouble Hinata Inaba.
He then turned around and went to Konoha's torture class.
By coincidence, he met the leader of the mountain clan here.
At this time, the chief of the mountain tribe was leading several tribesmen to toss the corpse of the Kumogakure envoy who was beaten to death by Hinata and Hizu.
This is the only well-preserved corpse of an envoy. The other envoys were reduced to coke under the thunder of Hinata Inaba not long ago.
As envoys to other ninja villages, these people naturally have seals in their minds.
It is not easy to extract information from their minds. After all, every ninja village will guard against this.
But even if you know it's difficult, you still have to try, so these days the patriarch of the Tianshan Mountains has been responsible for this matter here in the torture squad.
He didn't even join in the excitement surrounding Hinata and Hinata's death today.
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly coming over at this moment, the clan leader of the mountain was very surprised.
"Acting Hokage-sama? Why are you here?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked a little tired, but he still took a puff of his pipe and said, "Do you have time? I want to talk to you alone."
Although the Yamanaka clan leader was a little surprised, he still put down his work, took off his gloves, and came to a lounge at the torture squad base with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
As soon as he entered the room, Sarutobi Hiruzen pretended to be casual and chatted about the work that the Yamanaka clan leader was doing recently.
"Did you get any information from the head of that Kumogakure envoy?"
The Yamanaka clan leader said with some shame, "Unfortunately, there are no results yet. Their memories before coming to Konoha are basically in a sealed state. This is also the normal way for major ninja villages to deal with envoys on missions."
After all, ninjas have never been moral models. In the past, major ninja villages often assassinated each other's envoys. Everyone now knows to be on guard against this kind of thing.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was not surprised at all, but after a moment of silence, he suddenly said coldly, "I guess the envoy's emotions before his death must have been very intense, right?"
<divclass="contentadv">The mountain chief was slightly surprised.
He heard that Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have something in mind.
"That's true, but his memory is very coherent, and there are no traces of manipulation. His emotions do fluctuate violently, but I guess this may be related to the fact that he didn't expect that he would die."
Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled twice.
He actually guessed the answer before he came.
"There are no signs of being manipulated... Haha, that's normal. Although that junior behaves erratically, has an arrogant attitude, and is arrogant! But every time he does something, he does it perfectly!"
The face of the mountain clan leader changed slightly.
He realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen was more than just meaning.
This is almost obvious!
The mountain chief lowered his head and said, "Master Hiruzen, are you doubting me?"
Do you suspect that you and the young elder are colluding and not reporting what you know?
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the lounge, smoking a cigarette, and did not answer for a long time.
The mountain chief was not in a hurry to explain.
Some things are useless to explain.
Besides, it's now this time, so just be suspicious if you have any doubts, he actually doesn't care that much anymore.
It was not until a long time later that Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that the tobacco in his pipe was almost burned out, so he took off his cigarette holder and sighed slowly.
"Old man, tell me the truth, don't you even...don't think highly of me now?"
He had just waited for a long time but still didn't get an explanation from the chief of the mountain clan.
This disregard actually made him sad as well.
The mountain clan leader lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and smiled bitterly.
He did not answer Hiruzen Sarutobi's question directly, but suddenly talked about something else.
"Master Hiruzen, how do you feel about Konoha now compared to three years ago?"
"How...what does it mean?"
"Master Hiruzen, you actually know, you just don't want to answer.
The current Konoha Village is more than five times larger than three years ago!
That young elder, the junior you call him, has made Konoha more and more prosperous with his fantastic ideas!
Build a commercial center, provide a safe surrounding environment, build roads, bridges, highways and then set up card tolls...
These wonderful ideas allowed Konoha to recover and even grow significantly in just three years!
Hiruzen-sama, you can actually see all of this, but you just don't want to admit it.
Why do you think so many Konoha ninjas are willing to fight with him today, fight against Kumogakure, and rush to the battlefield together?
Is it just because he instigated everyone?
I don’t think so, Hiruzen-sama, because everyone in Konoha believes in him!
Because he has done all those things that you could not do before! "
It was the first time that the head of the Yamanaka clan spoke so plainly in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
At that moment, he saw to his surprise that Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly looked a bit older.
These facts are very heartbreaking!
What hurt him even more was that the person who told these facts was one of the clan leaders of the Pig, Deer and Butterfly Alliance whom he once trusted most!
"Didn't you expect that even you think so?"
At that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand holding the pipe couldn't help but tremble slightly.
His heart was completely messed up.
