Konoha’s Love Master

"Hokage-sama, the Sarutobi clan has been thoroughly investigated. Except for Sarutobi Shinnosuke and a small number of Sarutobi ninjas, other Sarutobi clan ninjas have not been involved in this case..."

"Even a small number of related Sarutobi ninjas just did something convenient for Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and didn't know what he was doing."

Three days later, the security team found out everything, and Hinata Wuye also put the case file on the Hokage table.

In just three days, the three generations seemed to be 30 years older. Their bodies, which were originally in peak condition, were getting old, and even their hair had turned gray.

He was sitting behind the Hokage table, not smoking a big cigarette as usual, rubbing the hands holding the file lightly, and remained silent for a long time.

"Master Hokage?"

After a while, the third generation remained silent, but Hinata Wuya couldn't help but reminded him.

"Um…"

The third generation responded inexplicably, and then, as if returning to the soul, he raised his head and said in a low voice: "Thank you, you can go."

Hiyuki Wuye nodded, walked out the door, and closed the door behind her.

"Click."

There was a slight sound of closing the door, like the first sign of hypnosis, and Sandai's eyes gradually became cloudy.

Many, many things that I never thought of in the past came to my mind.

When Shinnosuke was very young...

He also held him around in circles, smiled so heartily, and...

"squeak."

The third generation suddenly stood up, and the wooden chair behind him rubbed against the floor making a sound.

He threw the file on the table, and staggered out the door.

"Master Hokage..."

Along the way, there was an endless stream of respectful shouts. In the past, he would show a friendly smile to each of them.

But today he just walked alone, as if he had lost his soul.

People looked at him with more sympathy and love.

At this moment, even the third generation himself couldn't tell whether he was really losing his mind, or subconsciously trying to restore his image...

"Crunch."

Back inside the simple family, through the different eyes of the clansmen, Sandai pushed away Sarutobi Shinnosuke's room.

It was also a very modest room, no different from the others.

A tatami mat, a desk, a few books, nothing else.

Dim light came in from the window, but it didn't bring much light.

Three generations did not turn on the lights.

He just sat down in front of Sarutobi Shinnosuke's desk, imagining whether the unfamiliar son usually sat like this.

What will he do?

The third generation reached out to the bookshelf and pulled out the biggest book.

"boom."

Suddenly, a scroll rolled down from the shelf behind the book and rolled into his eyes.

The third generation was stunned for a moment, and there was light gathering in their eyes.

What's this…

He picked up the scroll.

He can see through the above sealing technique at a glance, it is a blood contract.

In other words, only the designated blood can be unsealed, otherwise it will explode.

Sandai hesitated for a while, but still bit his finger, and then smeared his own blood on it.

Maybe this is his last window to know his son, and he doesn't want to miss it.

Fortunately, the sealing technique lighted up for a while, then dimmed again...it was solved!

The third generation was a little nervous.

This scroll is not set with Sarutobi Shinnosuke's own blood, but his blood, so... is it reserved for him?

He slowly opened the scroll, and a series of unfamiliar handwriting came into view.

"Father, when you see this, I must have committed suicide and apologized."

The first sentence made the third generation's eyes turn red.

"From childhood, you have been dissatisfied with me, and then you almost forgot about my son. I often think, what should I do in this life to get your approval."

"Being a ninja may be really bad, I don't have that talent."

"So, I went the other way..."

"If you want to be a great Hokage, I will help you become the greatest Hokage."

"But many times you are too idealistic, that is not good, and that Shimura Danzo is too insidious to be your dark side."

"Since I was a teenager, I have secretly accumulated a lot of wealth in your name in the past ten years, but none of the money has entered the family."

"I have used the money to buy many properties. Konoha's custom street, hot spring shops, and casinos. These most profitable industries are almost all mine."

Three generations slowly rounded their eyes.

He fully understands what a huge wealth this is!

In other words, the assets of the village embezzled by Sarutobi Shinnosuke may not be just a few hundred million taels, but billions!

His heart began to ache again, he still didn't understand what his son would do with so much wealth...

"Don't worry, I don't use any of the annual output of these industries for myself or my family. They... are all used by me to win over ninjas."

"Father, do you understand? In fact, there are really not many ninjas who are as idealistic as you and are dedicated to the stability and peace of the village."

"You always say that family ninjas are the biggest obstacle to the integration of the village, but you don't know those civilian ninjas you admire... most of them are dissatisfied with their desires!"

"The more poor a ninja is, the more likely he is to pursue wealth and status, because people always pursue what they lack."

"So, those civilian ninjas who acted selflessly in front of you actually get the benefits they want from me every year."

The third generation's hands were trembling slightly.

Next, he saw the names of a line of civilian ninjas, and the money they would get every year.

That kind of amount is higher than his salary as Hokage!

There was a sudden surge of anger, followed by shame, and a deep sense of disappointment.

He always thought, always thought that these civilian ninjas were the future of the village!

"You must be very angry and disappointed now, right? Actually, there's no need, because this is a human being."

"In this ninja world, those who pursue peace are doomed to be a minority. What most people want is their own interests, or want to live a better life. You have to see this clearly."

"These civilian ninjas who have received money, you ignore this and think about it again. How is their mission ability? How is their ability to handle affairs? Has their existence made the village better? If so, then there is no need to worry about it. their selfishness."

The hearts of three generations suddenly calmed down again.

He had never seen this before, but he had to admit that his son was right.

"Not only civilian ninjas, but also family ninjas."

"Father, let go of your prejudices, don't punish these family ninjas for doing something that violates the village system, because the existence of many gray areas is necessary, and you can't ask everyone to be as impartial as you are."

"Like the recent liquidation against these families, it is actually completely unnecessary. To be honest, the benefits they get are not as much as I gave to your civilian ninjas."

"If it's not good to follow you, why should they follow you?"

"Father, I am different from you. You are an idealist, but I am a realist, so I cannot see those great ideas and dreams. I can only see the selfish desires in everyone's heart."

"I will use this to help you extend the tentacles of Hokage's power to every corner of the village."

"Although I am dead, the funeral has been arranged. Those ninjas will still get benefits, and even the civilian ninjas you are optimistic about will continue to get benefits."

"If you have any doubts, you can contact Sarutobi Shinyoshi. He is a single-line contact and a dead man. If anything happens, he will fight alone and will not implicate you."

"Hi Xiang Wu Ye, you have to be cautious, because you can't give him what he wants."

"Oshemaru needs to be watched, he started to feel wrong after the war."

"Namikaze Minato is a good heir, you can cultivate it well."

"at last…"

Seeing this, Sandai's eyes have become blurred.

It never occurred to him that there had always been people who had done so many things silently behind him.

The dark side of Hokage is Danzo, but the gray area is what his son does.

"Finally, my lord father, please eat well, sleep well, take care of your body, live longer, and don't come to me, because..."

"I don't want to see you."

Three generations could no longer control themselves, and tears fell down like a flood bursting a bank.

"In this life, I have never lived as myself, just to get a recognition. I have worked so hard until now. I am really tired, so tired..."

"Asma is a good boy, he has ninja talent, I hope you don't treat him like me..."

"That's it, I hope we..."

"Death and life will never meet again."

boom.

The third generation fell from the chair and sat on the floor, curled up beside the tatami, crying like a child.

When Sarutobi Shinnosuke committed suicide, apart from pain, he was more ashamed and puzzled.

Shame on my son for doing such a thing, and don't understand why he would do it.

Until now, until he found this letter, until he really got in touch with the truest heart of this son hiding in his shadow...

He finally felt the existence of Sarutobi Shinnosuke for the first time, but unfortunately the next moment is Eijue.

His son is a true genius, not as a ninja, but as a genius of the world!

He has done so much in secret, done so much for his ideal father, but at the end he said to him...

Life and death will never meet again.

How much hatred, how determined, how painful, will he give his biological father a heavy blow after death?

"Whoaah!"

The third generation hugged their heads and cried, curled up in the corner like a child, almost fainting from crying.

"Father! What's wrong with you?!"

Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a bang, and the ten-year-old Asma rushed in.

Afterwards, he was completely dumbfounded.

Ever since he was a child, he had never seen his Hokage father have such a weak moment.

He has always been so amiable, always with such a hazy smile, and has always buried his emotions completely...

"Dad... Dad..."

Asma squatted down in front of the third generation nervously, at a loss: "You...you..."

But the third generation suddenly hugged him tightly, tears running down his old face.

Asma even felt that her bones were about to fall apart.

Then he heard his father, who never showed his feelings, whispering in his ear: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Asma intuitively felt that the sorry was not meant for him, but he still said softly: "It's okay."

But the third generation seemed to have not heard it, and kept saying: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

…

"Oshewan, how long do you have to study the first-generation phagocytic agent?"

In the dark underground, there is a huge laboratory.

Danzo came here alone and familiar with the road, and found the scientist Orochimaru.

"Don't worry, just give me some time."

Orochimaru's apricot-yellow vertical pupils looked a little creepy in the shadows, but Danzo didn't notice it.

"Hurry up, I can't help but kill Hinata Wuya." Danzo said coldly.

"I'm as anxious as you," Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, "After all, I've been coveting his body for a long time!"

"Hmph, something is wrong with him, his strength has grown too fast." Danzo said.

Orochimaru's eyes flickered faintly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"How is the first generation of cells transplanted in your body?" He suddenly asked.

Danzo shook his head: "It's not good, if the seal is released, there will be a risk of being backlashed within half an hour."

"You don't have either Uchiha's blood or Senshou's blood, so it's really not suitable," Orochimaru fell into deep thought, "Hinata Wuya..."

"I asked you to develop a potion that can kill him without anyone noticing, not as an experimental material!" Danzang said angrily.

"Don't worry, I know," Orochimaru said quietly, "After all, I still need you to provide materials for human experiments."

"Hmph, it's good that you know."

When Danzo left, he threw himself into the experiment again, like a ruthless scientific research machine...

…

"Uncle, these are the things that Wuye has been doing lately."

Under the largest ninja shop in Konoha, Mikoto Uchiha is reporting the situation to her current uncle and future father-in-law.

The man still kept his eyes open, which could barely see the road, and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, making a slight thumping sound.

After a long time, he sighed slightly.

"What's wrong, Uncle?" Uchiha Mikoto, who was kneeling, immediately asked concerned.

The man rubbed his forehead with some headaches: "Our lineage and the entire Qianshou clan have paid a huge price to slowly integrate into the family, but now Wuye wants to unite most of the families to form a group that is opposed to the high-level people." Political group? This is completely contrary to our original intention..."

"This kind of thing can't be done by ordinary people, right?"

Uchiha Mikoto blinked: "I think he can do it very well!"

The man couldn't laugh or cry: "Is this a question of whether it is serious or not? This is going against the general trend."

"However, in the past three years, the major families have indeed been suppressed too hard. Coupled with this liquidation, many families are almost unable to sustain themselves, so Wuye will do this."

Uchiha Mikoto spoke for Hinata Wuya in a roundabout way.

"I know, but it is precisely because he liquidated all the families in one day that he got this opportunity, and..."

The man sighed: "He didn't do this because of any political ambitions, but for women..."

"Wouldn't that be great!"

Uchiha Mikoto was not convinced.

The man raised his forehead and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I understand, the child who worked so hard to raise has gone to his bowl..."

"This little thing," he took a breath like a toothache, "could it be a woman killer?"

Uchiha Mikoto's pretty face was flushed, and her small hands were a little shy rubbing the corners of her clothes: "No, it's not, it's, it's me and him anyway..."

The man sighed, too lazy to complain.

…

A month has passed without knowing it.

Because the events that happened one month ago were more frightening one after another, it took Konoha a full month to digest before slowly recovering the calmness of the past.

During this period, neither the families that were liquidated, nor the Shimura clan or the Sarutobi clan had any movement.

Everyone tacitly maintained a relative balance, and the panic-stricken situation calmed down.

No matter what the battle is, it is everyone's consensus to ensure the stability of the village.

"Wu Ye, you resign from the guard."

After a month, Hinata Wuya finally saw the Third Hokage again.

The three generations hardly did anything this month. Everyone thought that he was immersed in the pain of the death of his eldest son, so no one felt puzzled.

But on this day, Wuye heard such a sentence not long after stepping into Hokage's office.

He took a closer look at the third generation, and was surprised to find that he seemed to have returned to his appearance a month ago. His face was always covered with a gentle mask, but his eyes were as deep as an abyss.

Really nothing has changed?

Day and night have no answer.

"Why do you want me to resign from the guard?" He asked bluntly.

With his current strength, he is qualified.

The third generation was not angry, but said very peacefully: "As you said last time, Tsunade's rumor problem has been solved, and Danzo, the culprit you deduced, has also been punished. You still need the security team to do it." What?"

Hyuga Wuya intuitively felt something was wrong.

Because before that, Sandai obviously hoped that he would stay in the guard all the time and become a knife, a knife that Sandai could only use himself.

But now he seems to have given up on this idea, so, did he also give up on the original idea of ​​making him a candidate for Hokage?

Wuye knew that if he kept following the path arranged by the third generation, after the third war, he would successfully become the fourth Hokage.

Originally, he also planned to continue in such hypocrisy and obedience, and then do what he wanted to do after becoming Hokage.

But he and the third generation did not expect that Tsunade's incident changed their tacit understanding.

Now, everything is different...

"Master Hokage, I think the guard team is quite suitable for me, why don't I stay?"

This is Hinata Wuye's test, to see if the third generation has really changed his mind.

The third generation finally raised his eyes to look at him, looked at him silently for a while, and then suddenly said: "Wu Ye, you really surprised me, the speed of growth, including political means, far exceeded my expectations, but there are some things I didn't know at the time." I want to understand, now that a month has passed, that is not a very meticulous method, I can still see it clearly."

Hyuga Wuye had a calm expression on his face, as if he was listening attentively.

This is a showdown, or in other words, completely abandoning Wuye as a candidate.

"Your target was Danzo and his roots from the beginning, wasn't it?"

The third generation finally started to smoke his big cigarette again, puffed and said: "You know that the family members of root ninjas who spread rumors recorded in the file, so they acted very carefully and pointed all the losses on Danzo's head .”

No night noncommittal.

"After the matter of the Hyuga clan, you took advantage of the situation to solve the big elder. Not only did you not exterminate yourself from Hinata, but you strengthened your control; what was even more amazing was that time with the Uchiha clan. The injury was just a slap in the face, but it helped them ease their relationship with the village..."

"Then there is the matter of those small and medium families. You deliberately deal with it within a day and forced me to take out the files of the Shimura family. This is your most important purpose..."

"Then blockade the Shimura clan land and arrange conflicts. If Danzo is not calm enough, maybe you will directly attack Danzo as you wish, right?"

The third generation looked calm, but his tone gradually became chilling.

If another ninja were here, he might already be trembling with fright.

But Hinata Wuya didn't seem to feel it, and even spread his hands with a smile: "Master Hokage, this is just your guess."

"Wuye, you...don't have the will to fire." Sandai sighed.

Hyuga Wuya's eyes finally narrowed slowly: "Master Hokage, I want to ask you, what is the will of fire?"

"What is the will of fire?"

The third generation frowned, obviously this question was beyond his expectation.

In his opinion, ninjas born in the age of Hyuga Wuya should be able to recite the content of the will of fire.

"The will of fire is sacrifice. The elders sacrifice and burn themselves, so that the next generation will shine and continue to pass on." The third generation said in the simplest words.

"Yes, this is the standard answer when we take the test of the will of fire in our ninja school," Hinata Wuya chuckled, "But it seems to be different from what I actually saw!"

"What's different?" Three generations frowned.

"I didn't see the senior management of the village sacrificing themselves. I only saw you rejecting dissidents and suppressing the opposition over and over again in order to achieve the goal of completely controlling Konoha." Hyuga Wuya said.

The pupils of the third generation shrank, and said slowly: "Are you serious?"

He didn't expect that Hinata Wuye would completely tear his skin apart, and directly stripped away everyone's default.

"certainly!"

Hyuga Wuye spread his hands and said, "Since the so-called will of fire is just an empty slogan, why should I be that fool who earnestly practice it?"

"Day to no night..."

Sandai called his full name, leaned on the back of the chair, and focused all his attention on him: "Fortunately, you exposed yourself because of Tsunade, otherwise I don't know that Konoha will become what kind."

He picked up the pipe and took a puff, then put it back on the table, and said slowly: "You don't understand the will of fire, that's a kind of righteousness, no matter how much you sacrifice, you must maintain the peace of the village!"

"That's it..."

Hyuga Wuye sneered: "The righteousness that can't even protect one's own people? Is it possible to suppress dissidents at will as long as they use the banner of doing things for the village? That's just a political slogan."

"It seems that the inflated strength makes you unable to see yourself clearly..."

The third generation looked at him calmly: "Hi Xiang Wu Ye, I am very glad that I can see your face clearly now, you go, from now on, you will be relieved of all your duties in the village, you cannot leave the village without my permission, You can't take the mission either."

"It turns out that this is the power under the brilliance of the will of fire. I really experienced it once..."

Not only did Hinata Wuye not feel disappointed, but he sarcastically said, "I wonder if Hokage-sama wants to revoke my Jonin proposal and voting rights?"

"Won't."

The third generation didn't even look at him, and waved his hand: "If you don't get summoned in the future, don't come again."

He made up his mind to suppress Hinata Wuye.

It's a pity that Wuye threw out a scroll in a hurry, and rolled it in front of the third generation: "There just happens to be a Jonin proposal, why don't you take a look, Lord Hokage?"
