Konoha's Strongest Brother

Chapter 242
Hokage Building, the highest and deepest office.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi stared at the fine lines on the desk in a daze. After knocking on the door a few times, Hiruzaru Sarutobi called for someone to come in, only to find out that they were here to deliver medicine, but they were not the usual medical ninjas, but Orochi pill.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Orochimaru's face, he was a little sluggish for a while, he hadn't looked at each other face to face seriously for a long time, he didn't even notice that Oroshemaru's face had become thin and gloomy, eyes flashed The crazy meaning is even more penetrating. In Sarutobi Hiruzen's memory, Orochimaru is still as serious as before, but sometimes he can't hold back his laughter.

He knew that he might never see that face again in the future. There have been many changes in Dashewan, and the relaxed and happy days in the past few years are gone forever.

Tsunade has changed, and Orochimaru has also changed. The only thing that has not changed is Jiraiya, who was like a goose before. Only this can give Hiruzaru Sarutobi a little comfort in his empty heart.

"Teacher, it's time to take the medicine." Orochimaru put the medicine on the table, looked at the dazed Sarutobi Hirizhan with a bitter smile, there are always countless forks in the road of life, he just walked into a strange fork This is the path he chose, and he will not give up.

He can understand Hiruzaru Sarutobi's depression and sadness at this moment, but he will not change it, nor will he expect Hiruzaru Sarutobi to understand.

"Let's put it away for now." Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll eat it later."

Orochimaru put down the medicine box, looked at Hiruzaru Sarutobi's face respectfully, as if he wanted to keep this face in his mind, silently left Hokage's office, the meeting between their teacher and disciple was so silent, originally I have prepared some words, but now I can't say them at all.

This scene is very strange.

Based on the report obtained by Jiraiya, Hiruza Sarutobi understood that Duan Ren and Uchiha Fugaku's strange eye style, as well as the characteristic of bleeding at the end, are a kaleidoscope. From this, it can be inferred that at that time, Duan Ren Baba and Orochimaru have something to hide from him.

It's not a hard thing to guess.

The first thing Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about was not Duan Ren, but Orochimaru. The more familiar people were, the more he would be hurt, but he didn't want to go into details, so he didn't even ask. Oroshemaru seemed to mean the same thing.

As a result, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was full of sadness and emotion.

……

……

After watching for a long time, Mitarai Zixiao was stunned, turned around, watched Hiruzaru Sarutobi pull out a document, his eyes became more and more firm, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Master Hokage, the fourth generation of Hokage Candidate, are you really sure?"

Following these words, the wind outside the window suddenly became much stronger, whistling and making some angry voices, as if many people were dissatisfied with the result.

Once the candidate for the next fourth generation is determined, it means that the third generation of Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who has worked hard for most of his life, will retire from this prominent position, and it means that Konoha Village will have a new structure, which may be very After a smooth passage, it may also be a turmoil.

The atmosphere in the room was also extremely depressed, but Hiruzaru Sarutobi's expression was still calm.

"I'm old, and it's time for Konoha to be decided by young people." Hiruzaru Sarutobi said in a deep voice.

Seeing this man who is known as the "Hero of the Ninja World" retire from this position, anyone will feel a lot of emotion. The development of Konoha Village to the present is indispensable for the development of the first generation, the development of the second generation, and naturally the third generation. Carry on the past and usher in the future.

The twilight of a hero is one of the two saddest things in any world.

Especially as Sarutobi Hiruzen's closest subordinate, Mitarai Murakami is more emotional now.

Sarutobi Hirzen's face was as calm as a clear spring, seeing Mitarai Zixiao was a little sad, and comforted him: "In the future, new people will replace me to guard the village. In fact, I still prefer to stay in the ninja school and watch Those ignorant kids, I thought, I could teach them more."

Duan Ren is not here, if it was here, he might say with emotion that Hiruza Sarutobi's thoughts are so similar to Teacher Ma Yunma.

Mitarai Zixiao lowered his head, thinking about something, coupled with the loss in his heart, he didn't speak.

"Young people should take on more responsibilities. There are many outstanding young people in Konoha... And don't forget, I am still in the village, and I will continue to protect Konoha, but with a different identity. So there is no need to be too sad, the tree grows vigorously until the leaves fall to the ground, it is an inevitable process, as long as there is the will of fire, the leaves will burn and will last forever."

Mitarai Zixiao raised her head, and said in shame: "What Hokage-sama taught me is that I was thinking too narrowly... I just don't know, who will take over as the Fourth Hokage?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a light smile: "There is a very good candidate, of course, we need to discuss with others..."

After saying these words, Hiruzaru Sarutobi coughed violently, his already gray hair was shaken wildly. His illness was caused by overwork and he needed a long time to recuperate.

Waved her hand and let Mitarai Zixiao leave. Outside Hokage's office, seeing the sudden strong wind and the trees rustling in the strong wind, Mitarai Zixiao forced a smile, shook her head and murmured.

"It's going to change!"

……

……

In the underground root base, Danzo stood in the corner, silently listening to the impact of the water flow in the pipeline not far away, shaking his head in silence.

Turning his head suddenly, he looked outside, his eyes were shining brightly, he frowned and whispered softly: "Saroutobi, what are you thinking?"

……

……

The business of opening a store is not good, but naturally there are people who want to try it out, and among them, there are naturally people who don't know Duanren.

After they see the high price of the menu, it is inevitable that they will be furious.

"Why is it so expensive? Don't you want to do business?"

The person who spoke was a tall and burly man who didn't know the thin Duan Ren, and he tried his best to accuse the newly opened restaurant of inappropriate behavior.

"Call your boss." He shouted again.

Duan Ren couldn't stand the shouting, and walked out out of boredom, saying with disdain: "I am the owner of this shop, if you can't afford it, don't eat it, poor ghost."

The brawny man clenched his fists angrily, spit and spit, and said, "Boy, are you the boss? I've never seen you do business like this."

"I love to eat, but I don't want to eat, I beg you?" Duan Ren rolled his eyes.

The brawny man stared angrily, and wanted to smash the store when talking about things, but seeing the high-end decoration in the store and the polished floors, he thought that he would have to pay a lot of money, so he stopped abruptly He cursed and walked out, "I'd like to see how long this store of yours can stay open. I'll see if you don't eat it or eat it. I'll see what kind of face you have when you change the price."

But Duan Ren calmly shouted: "Don't rush away, the pot of tea on your table has to be counted as money."

The strong man almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He hadn't heard that there was a charge for drinking tea in any shop in the past. He was trembling with anger, and shouted: "I didn't order it. You brought it to me?"

"Then you didn't refuse either."

"..." The strong man was deeply speechless, and shouted again: "I only drank half of the pot, and I only gave half of the money."

"That won't work. You've already drank it. Who would want to drink it? This is the service tenet of our store. Everything is for customers to have an excellent experience."

A strong man is actually just puffy... After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to put up with the calm for a while, paid the money and left cursing.

It's just that I didn't expect that after the strong man left, another person came in through the door, with meticulously combed hair, a clean royal robe, clear eyebrows, yellow hair, and a warm and comfortable smile.

It's Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato said to Duan Ren: "Duan Ren, it's not good for you to do this. In business, peace is the most important thing. Besides, it's too ugly to ask others for money to drink some tea."

Duan Ren calmly took a new cup for Namikaze Minato, poured a cup of tea and said, "Drink a glass of water first, to moisten your throat."

Namikaze Minato didn't think much, just returned to the village with a dry throat, raised his cup and drank a couple of sips, was about to talk to Duan Ren, but found that Duan Ren flattened his palm and stuffed it in front of him, shouting: "Tea money! "

Namikaze Minato was stunned for a second, this second was absolutely fatal in a battle.

"I drank half of that man's pot just now..."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you drank it."

"...Can I take half a pot of money?"

"no!"

Namikaze Minato supported his head to express his helplessness, he had just returned to the village, never thought that such a thing would happen to him, he said with a smile: "I still have to eat, I will pay for it together after the meal."

Duan Ren looked him up and down for a while, then stretched out his palm and said, "No credit!"
