to be honest.

Hiruzen himself was very speechless regarding these rumors that were just out of his mind.

All these years.

His contribution to Konoha can be said to be irreplaceable.

It was under his leadership that Konoha was able to win the Second Ninja War.

The new generation of strong men who emerged during this period all grew up under his cultivation.

Even Hatake Sakumo can be considered half of his student.

Not to mention Sakumo's current achievements, they are still close to him.

With his qualifications and connections... so what if Sakumo gets him?

I didn't make any mistakes.

Can Sakumo still take the credit and force himself to abdicate?

Don’t I know Sakumo’s character better than you do?

Is there any need to fear him seizing power?

I personally gave the order to block the information about Sakumo's mission failure! Hello!

...I really don’t know what everyone is thinking.

But this is the reason why rumors are so disgusting.

Most people don’t have the ability to spot rumors.

They will just continue to spread the rumors.

The Sandaime took a deep puff of his cigarette and narrowed his eyes slightly.

If we look at these two rumors together.

The people behind the scenes are trying to kill two birds with one stone.

...could it be him?

The Sandaime rapped the table with his pipe.

An ANBU ninja walked outside the door and walked into the room.

He half-knelt on the ground and asked in a low voice.

"Sandaime-sama, what are your orders?"

The Sandaime said with a smile.

"I haven't seen my old friend for a long time. Please go to the roots for a trip."

"yes!"

The ANBU nodded slightly, stood up and walked outside.

Not long after.

A figure wearing gray robes and holding a cane walked into the Hokage's office.

The right side of his face was wrapped in a bandage, and the exposed left eye was slightly closed, as if he was not interested in anything in the world.

Danzo Shimura!

Hiruzen's good gay friend when he was young, now an old gay friend.

He asked calmly.

"Hiruzhan, why did you call me here late at night?"

The Sandaime pointed to the freshly brewed tea on the table and said with a smile.

"Shikaku gave me the good tea a few days ago, and I specially asked you to come and try it today."

Danzo raised his eyebrows slightly and sat down opposite the Sandaime without saying anything.

He picked up the teacup in his hand and sipped the tea slowly.

After a while.

He put down the teacup in his hand and got straight to the point.

"Hiruzhan, if you have something to worry about, just tell me."

"I haven't finished my fundamental matters yet, so I don't have time to sit here with you."

The Sandaime took a sip of tea and pretended to be casual.

"Then let me get straight to the point. Have you heard about the recent rumors about Sakumo in the village?"

Danzo nodded, Furui Muhadou.

"Even you know about it, so I've naturally heard about it."

The Sandaime snorted, a little unhappy with his gay friend's secret provocation.

"Since you are well-informed, have you found out who leaked the secret?"

Danzo shook his head and said.

"I asked my men to look around, but they still haven't found anything."

Looking at Hiruzen's slightly unhappy face.

He seemed to suddenly realize something and frowned slightly.

"Do you suspect that I leaked the news?"

The Sandaime snorted noncommittally and stared at Danzo with deep eyes.

"So, is it you?"

Danzo felt a chill in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.

"This matter has nothing to do with me. It will do me no good to bring down Sakumo."

The Sandaime nodded vaguely and said nothing.

Danzo felt a little anxious and pounded the ground heavily with his stick.

"Hiruzhan, we have been friends for so many years, and you still can't trust me?"

"If anyone would do this, I have a suspicious target."

The Sandaime picked up the tea cup and waited for Danzo's next words.

"tell me the story."

Danzo looked directly into the Sandaime's eyes and said in a serious tone.

"Don't forget that there are guys from the Uchiha clan in Sakumo's team."

"If their clan wants to run for the next Hokage, Sakumo will definitely be their strong rival."

Uchiha?

The Sandaime calmly took a sip of tea and suppressed his surprise.

After a while.

He returned to his calm demeanor and said with a smile.

"Don't you still have things waiting for you to deal with at the root? I won't keep you here. Go back to Danzo first."

Danzo nodded upon hearing this.

He took a deep look at the Sandaime and then left without looking back.

After he left, the Sandaime rubbed his brow.

"It's getting more and more confusing. Who could it be..."

the next morning.

The sunlight quietly crossed the window and climbed onto the face of the sleeping boy.

The young man groaned and turned over without any intention of getting up.

at this time.

There was a voice outside the house.

"Obito, Xiaolin is here to pick you up for school."

Um?

The young man suddenly sat up from the bed.

After changing clothes as quickly as possible, he walked out of his room.

Seeing that her grandson was finally willing to get up, grandma breathed a sigh of relief.

She stuffed a small lunch box for each of Rin and Obito.

"This is breakfast just made by grandma. It's getting late. You and Xiaolin are eating on the way."

Lin said with a smile.

"Thank you grandma, let's go then."

Grandma's brows and eyes were full of smiles, and it was obvious that she liked Lin very much.

"Hey, okay, okay."

Lin took Obito's little hand.

"Then let's go, Obito-kun."

Happiness came suddenly, and Obito's brain shut down for a moment.

This was the first time in his life that he held a girl's hand.

Pooh!

Hold the little girl's hand.

...It still seems like something is not quite right.

"Let's go, Grandma!"

"Okay, you two, please slow down on the road!"

Walk on the road.

Obito was eating breakfast and looked at Lin beside him with some curiosity.

"Lin-chan, why did you come to pick me up from school today?"

Lin finished the last bite of breakfast, wiped her mouth gracefully, and then said.

"You've been late lately. I'm a little worried about you."

Obito smiled, feeling warm in his heart.

Apart from grandma, Lin should be the person who cares about her the most.

I will definitely protect you in this life, he thought silently.

Lin asked curiously.

"By the way, Obito-kun, why did your physical skills improve so quickly?"

After thinking for a while, Obito explained.

"Actually, I have been practicing secretly at night recently."

"That's why I always have no energy and am sleeping when I go to class during the day."

Lin nodded thoughtfully.

"Is that so? But Obito-kun seems to have been falling asleep in class since the beginning of school..."

Obito coughed twice and chose to change the topic.

"Ahem, um...Lin-chan, why do you look better today?"

Lin's face turned red, and she was indeed led astray by Obito.

"Ah, is there any?"

Obito nodded seriously.

"Some, some."

Strange to say.

On the way to school with Lin, Obito didn't even meet an old woman.

Maybe when the opponent arrests people, they should only arrest singles... Obito secretly complained.

When the teacher saw Obito, he appeared in his seat on time.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

It seems that Obito has really come to his senses.

However, this child's recent changes seem to be a bit drastic.

The teacher immediately fell into deep thought, and then slapped his head in shock.

Masaka...! ! !

My sincere teachings must have worked!

Being able to bring such an outrageous kid like Obito back on track.

Apart from Kisuke Urahara, looking at the entire education world, who else can do it?

I asked, who else? !

Just when the teacher is intoxicated with himself.

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

"Obito-kun, wake up quickly, it's time to go to class!"

The teacher's expression froze.

Ah this...

It seems that I still have a long way to go.
