The Throne of Heroes

Chapter 340 The Right Choice
Maybe it was just established, so the meeting didn't last long and ended completely in about two hours.

"It's finally over." Yahiko walked out of the border of the Iron Country, looked back and sighed, he felt that he had just had a dream, dreamed of the bright future of the Rain Country, dreamed of the realization of the dream of peace, everything felt so strange reality.

"It's over, but Yahiko, we can't slack off, after all, it's just begun." Xiao Nan reminded.

"I...of course I know!" Yahiko said awkwardly.

"You should first think about how to explain to Lady Artoria when you go back. Your performance...is really embarrassing." Nagato said jokingly.

"Eh...she...she shouldn't know, right?" Yahiko said in fear. The Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Iron are separated by the Kingdom of Grass, the Kingdom of Taki, and the Kingdom of Fire. The Kingdom of Rain is still so far away. There are so many things she needs to worry about, she shouldn't know how she is doing... right?

"It seems that you still haven't learned to be good." Seeing this, Nagato and Xiaonan shook their heads, silently praying for Yahiko in their hearts.

"By the way, Xiaonan, Hokage-sama suggested you to work in the Alliance Planning Department, what do you think?" Yahiko asked concerned; Yu Gong, Xiaonan can directly work in the alliance headquarters, and he is in a high position, which will naturally benefit the Land of Rain ;Privately, Yahiko also hopes that Xiaonan will have a better development, and the planning department that advises the entire ninja world can show Xiaonan's full ability.

But he didn't expect Xiao Nan to refuse without any hesitation.

"I don't think so."

"why?"

"I'm leaving, what about the Land of Rain? Rely on you and Nagato?" Konan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yahiko and Nagato.

"Eh..." The two shrank their necks unconsciously, briefly sketched the Kingdom of Rain with only the two of them in their minds, and then... quickly expelled the picture from the country.

"Go back quickly, and report to Sister Artoria." Xiao Nan said angrily.

"Yes!" Yahiko and Nagato straightened their backs, and quickly followed Xiaonan towards the Land of Rain.

……

With the three of them traveling at full speed, they returned to the Land of Rain in less than four days, but as soon as they arrived at Artoria's (Ruler's) room, they saw that figure who wanted to be grateful but was also jealous and afraid.

"You... why are you here!?" Yahiko asked loudly.

"Is that true, I can't come and see my wife?" Facing Yahiko's questioning, Adam laughed.

"Uh...it seems to be possible..."

Adam's reason was simply invincible. Naturally, no one would object when the husband looked at his wife, but... he always felt that something was wrong.

and many more!

Why does Arturia (Ruler), who has always been strict with them, have a slight smile on her face, and her ruddy complexion is as charming as a peach blossom in full bloom?Could it be... hiss!

"Ahem... shall we... come back later?" Yahiko, who seemed to have guessed the truth, asked awkwardly.

"Clap~"

Xiaonan and Nagato, who were retreating quietly, slapped themselves on the face, this idiot, don't say it if you see it, can't you just leave quietly?
Look, the smile is gone, and now I can't walk away even if I want to, and I guess I will lose a layer of skin.

"Come in." Sure enough, Artoria (Ruler)'s face tightened again, and she said seriously, not a request, not a discussion, but an order.

When the three of them saw this, their bodies immediately tensed up, and they walked in the door stiffly like a robot, and sat down in a row.

"I already know the situation, and the goal has been achieved, but..."

Halfway through the speech, the piercing eyes fixed on Yahiko.

"No~"

Yahiko knew that he was going to suffer, and it was like a sophistry...ah no, it was an explanation, but Artoria (Ruler) didn't give him a chance.

"...Your performance is too disappointing. It's a shame that you have lost your sense of proportion when you achieve a small goal. Starting tomorrow, all training will be doubled, and the etiquette and dignity training will be doubled."

"Crack~" Yahiko's petrified petrification, about to cry but without tears, split open.

"And you..."

"Hmm~" Nagato and Xiaonan, who were gloating at their misfortune, were also stunned.

"As a guard, he didn't refute the leader the first time he was stopped, and he was not vigilant at all, which was dereliction of duty; he didn't seize the opportunity to make friends with other people during the break, and took measures to win over the great opportunity of allies, which was short-sighted; and... "After Artoria (Ruler) listed a series of mistakes, she concluded, "Add them all together, and your training will be doubled."

"Crack~"

People who are petrified and cracked add two.

But this is not what makes them most desperate, but what follows...

Arturia (Ruler) waved her hand, and a mountain of documents almost filled the entire room. Only there was some space around her and Adam, and the petrified trio were directly buried.

"Here are the documents you left behind after you left, and they will be processed within today, so as not to affect tomorrow's training."

"Crack, click, clatter~"

Artoria's (Ruler's) words were like a heavy hammer, smashing the split stone statue of the three into pieces.

Regardless of the three who were shattered into pieces, Artoria (Ruler) took Adam's arm affectionately and changed rooms.

"So cruel?" Adam asked with a half-smile.

"The foundation is too poor, so naturally they have to be more ruthless. This is the path they chose, and they have to grit their teeth and walk on even if they cry."

"Okay, you have the final say."

"Then let's continue, there are very few opportunities to monopolize you."

Seeing Artoria (Ruler)'s flushed and coquettish face, Adam couldn't help but reach out and stroke it.

"It seems that my proud lion gambling king is jealous."

"I can't be jealous, I just want to be with you...uh~"

Not much to say, four lips meet, cloud and rain, spring night is short, and cherish it.

……

The day of celebration came to an end again, the lights of thousands of houses were extinguished, and Konoha once again returned to the embrace of the night.

In the mansion of the Sarutobi clan, Hiruzaru Sarutobi sat kneeling in his room, as if waiting for someone.

"Three generations."

"Watergate……"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were full of complexity.

Hiruza Sarutobi still failed to win the opportunity for Asma Sarutobi as he wished, and the Sarutobi clan did not get Adam's attention anymore. Development is like sailing against the current, if you do not advance, you will retreat. That's how fast it breaks down.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi retired, his son Asuma Sarutobi ran away in anger, his grandson Konohamaru was still too young, all the servants and vassals had left, and the other clansmen didn't have any brilliant people. It can be said that his hair turned white overnight, and he has aged for several decades. At the age of 60, he looks like an old man who is nearly a hundred years old at this time.

All of these are the price he paid for the mistakes he made back then, and the young man in front of him is the one he believes can lead Konoha to develop and grow.

Undoubtedly, he did it and met his expectations, but at the same time, he failed to bring his family and his descendants to keep up with him.

"Sandaimu, I knew this earlier, so why bother." Minato said with a sigh.

"Hoo ho ho, what's the point of saying these words now?" Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed at himself.

"Ugh."

"Tell me, what is worth your special trip to see the old man?"

"The daimyo should be out."

"... Are you finally going to make a move?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi was not at all surprised by Minato's decision. Not enough.

"Asuma is one of the twelve guardian ninjas."

Hearing this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's pupils shrank and his face turned pale.

"Minato, this is the only thing, please promise me, Asma..."

"The daimyo has privately sent me a letter that he is willing to voluntarily give up all his rights, but he wants to protect his family."

"Is this...is that so?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief, since the daimyo has made such a decision, he is safe, he is safe, and Asuma Sarutobi, one of the twelve ninja guards, is safe up.

"But those retainers were restless, so..."

"I understand." Hiruzaru Sarutobi immediately agreed without waiting for Minato to finish. He knew what Minato was going to do, and he also knew that this was Minato's care for him, giving Sarutobi Asma a chance.

"Thank you, when Konoha Maru reaches the age for school, I will take him into the Forbidden Forest." Minato promised.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment. When he wanted to ask anything else, Minato had disappeared, but he laughed crazily: "Hahahahahaha... Okay! Okay! Hahahaha..."
