Chapter 99 Talking Between Two Shadows (Fifth Watch)
The two shadows looked at each other, observing each other carefully, and when their eyes collided, they didn't avoid it.

Very direct and frank.

"Master Hokage, I am disturbing you by visiting unexpectedly."

After a while, Ise said with a smile.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen of the Third Hokage naturally does not look as old as in the future, his face is sharp and angular, revealing a tough demeanor.

With thick black hair, he is at the peak of his life, and his spirit is so high that it cannot be ignored.

It can be said that the third Hokage is the Hokage who has actually held the supreme power of the Fire Country for the longest time in the history of the ninja world.

He is hailed as a professor of ninjutsu by the world. He can freely use the seven chakra attributes and is proficient in all ninjutsu of Konoha. He has also cultivated the famous Sannin in the future.

Such a Hokage cannot be ignored no matter what.

"I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, Senshou Ise."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly laughed.

Ise also smiled: "Compared to the three generations of Hokage-sama, I am not worth mentioning."

"If such a statement is spread, I am afraid that the entire ninja world will not agree. Senju Ise's name has already spread throughout the ninja world and is known to the world."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, then he changed the subject and asked again with a smile.

"How? Come back to Konoha, how do you feel?"

This sentence is very interesting, a back character, has already divided Ise into Konoha's people, not only showing the meaning of intimacy, but also not at all alienated.

But Ise could hear it, and he smiled slightly: "Do you feel it?"

Saying that, he pointed to the position of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Before, I was sitting there, now I'm standing here."

The meaning in this discourse is also obvious, and it aims to say that the identities of the two are the same.He is also visiting as a shadow, so it is not suitable for getting close.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was obviously taken aback, and then he laughed and said: "Since Master Bird Shadow said so, please sit down!"

Ise was naturally blunt and sat down.

He took off the bamboo hat on top of his head, gently put it aside, and looked at the Hokage office with a smile.

It's not much different from his bird shadow office, the layout is simple and clear, and nothing can be seen.After all, an office is an office, and it can never bring the warmth of home.

"I came to Konoha this time because of the Thousand Hands Clan."

Ise's expression was slightly solemn, and he said in a deep voice.

"Well, the Thousand Hands Clan is your root, so naturally you should come back and have a look."

"Of course, Konoha is always your home, and you are welcome back anytime."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi wanted to smoke, but after picking up the smoke pot, he put it down again.

"What is the situation of the Thousand Hands Clan? I believe Lord Hokage should be clearer than me now. This clan needs to rest and recuperate."

Ise said lightly.

Since he is a member of the Qianshou family, he has naturally considered some things.In the words of Tsunade and his uncle, revitalizing the ethnic group is a responsibility in his blood.

Hearing this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi paused slightly with the hand holding the smoke pot, put it in his mouth, lit it lightly, and took a puff.

"What you said makes sense, and I've been thinking about it recently."

After repeated battles, the Qianshou clan was completely killed and wounded, only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled remained. If they don't cultivate themselves, I'm afraid this branch will be wiped out.

Of course, it is unknown whether there are three generations of reasons for this.

"The Kingdom of Birds is a good place to recuperate for the Thousand Hands Clan."

Ise said again.

After these words, Hiruzaru Sarutobi did not respond, but took a deep breath of the cigarette pot, and the office was filled with smoke in an instant.

"Is this your idea?"

After a while, he raised his head and asked in a deep voice.

"Today's Thousand Hands Clan is no longer the group that can deliver combat power to Konoha."

"Maybe the next time, or maybe the next time the next war comes, they will be cut off from this world."

Ise said lightly, paused, and stared into the other person's eyes.

"Unless, you want this bloodline to disappear completely."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi froze, but soon he shook his head and said: "I am very clear about the contribution of the Senshou Clan to Konoha, and naturally I will not allow such a situation to happen."

"Perhaps you are right. Today's Qianshou, it's time to cultivate and thrive."

After raising his head, he smiled again and said to Ise.

"You can discuss this matter with the patriarch of Qianshou. I am the shadow of Konoha, so naturally I can't control your family."

Ise also nodded with a smile, showing harmony on the surface.

But in a few words, he has made a clear judgment.The three generations of Hokage in front of him are not the old Hokage in the future.

He's young, strong and at the top of his game.Whether it is external or internal, it has a strong capital and posture.

It is impossible to be able to climb to the top of Hokage during this period, and to be in charge of everything in Konoha, and to be the shadow for so long without any means.

There are many families in Konoha, and the hilltop forces of each family are more chaotic than other villages.How can a man who can suppress opposing voices with his own power and be the master of Hokage be weak?

Even in the face of his slight questioning, the man still did not respond positively, but pushed the ball back to the Thousand Hands Clan.

"Since you're here, let's stay here for a while."

"Ise, Konoha is still your home."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly said seriously.

"it is good."

Ise was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

Afterwards, the two started chatting, Hiruzaru Sarutobi kept puffing out smoke as if on purpose, and Ise waved the smoke away in front of him without any notice.

As time passed, their topics, from the connection between the hidden villages of the two countries to their views on the situation in the entire ninja world, were very detailed but also very rough.

"I heard that you encountered a strong enemy on the way to Konoha?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked suddenly.

"good."

Ise nodded.

"Any clues?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, he couldn't help but be careless when it comes to the Uchiha clan.

"Have!"

Ise nodded without hesitation.

This time, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to have a clue so soon.There must be someone behind Uchiha Shuogi, but it is hard to judge who it is.

"who is it?"

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked in a deep voice.

From the other party's face, he realized that this matter was not simple.

"Uchiha Madara!"

Ise said directly.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's complexion changed, and his eyes became serious in an instant.His eyes were sharp, staring at Ise.

"So sure?"

Ise nodded: "One hundred percent is him!"

"call!"

Exhaling heavily, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's eyes changed, and he took a deep breath on the cigarette pot.

Judging from the battlefield records brought back and the descriptions of the battle by Naoki and others, he already had the answer in his heart, but he still couldn't be sure, or in other words, he didn't want to believe the answer.

But after personally confirming it from the person in front of him, the meaning is different.

"This matter must be concealed and cannot be leaked out, Ise."

Ise nodded: "I promise you."

He naturally knew why in his heart. The Senshou clan was weak, and the Uchiha clan rose up. Naturally, some people in the village would be jealous or full of Uchiha.

If the news spread that Madara was still alive at this time, Konoha would be shattered.
