I'm in Naruto and start as Zhongli!

Of course, he did not forget to send a message to Xianglin, and used illusion magic to make a small butterfly that landed on Xianglin's shoulder.

After a daze, Xianglin understood the news that Chenli had passed on to her, and glanced at the location of the tavern with a complicated expression.

However, Xianglin didn't do anything else. Chenli had just told her in the message that she could just buy all the remaining things.

...

...

In the tavern, since it was just before noon in the morning, the tavern had just opened at this time, and the boss was preparing today's ingredients in the kitchen.

"Hokage-sama! Welcome! Are you still behaving as usual today?" Looking up, when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen walking in, the owner of the tavern came out to greet him.

For the ordinary villagers of Konoha Village, it is an honor for Hiruzen Sarutobi to come to their restaurant for dinner. You know, this is almost the same treatment as a national leader coming to a small street shop.

"Hello, let's keep doing the same as usual, just use the signboards of your store." Sarutobi Hiruzen said cheerfully, it can be seen that

Come on, he still visits this place very often.

"Okay, it's the same room as last time." The owner of the tavern quickly led Sarutobi Hiruzen and Chenli into the room.

The ANBU next to Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down one by one and started to nod.

Except for a few hard-working people who had to stay on guard outside, everyone else came in to spend money.

Seeing this scene, the owner of the tavern almost lost his temper with laughter.

It seems that we can complete the two-day KPI today, especially now that there are not many people, and the morning is usually a window period.

"Old woman! Come out and help!" The owner of the tavern quickly called his wife out, and soon the two of them were busy in the small kitchen.

Of course, they did not forget to send Sarutobi Hiruzen's favorite wine to them.

In the private room, Chen Li and Hiruzen Sarutobi sat opposite each other. There was a small wine bottle in front of each person, which contained Hiruzen Sarutobi's favorite sake.

"Come on, Boss Chenli, try the sake here. This is one of the few authentic sakes in Konoha." Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed at the bottle in front of him.

"Then I have to try the wine that Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen likes to drink." Chen Li picked up his wine bottle with a hint, then poured himself a glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Boss Chenli, aren't you afraid that my bottle of wine is poisoned?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Chenli with squinted eyes, with a subtle feeling in his eyes.

"If the dignified Hokage still needs to use such despicable methods, then I have nothing to say." Chenli smiled softly, and he had nothing to fear.

Moreover, it is just a poison. There is probably no poison in this world that can poison Chenli.

"Boss Chenli is really honest." Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly.

"Master Sarutobi Hiruzen asked me to come here to drink just to reminisce about old times, right?" Chen Li put down the wine glass in his hand, and then looked into Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

The atmosphere in the box seemed to be different all of a sudden.

Chapter 312: I am a great Ninja!

Suddenly, as Chen Li's words fell.

The atmosphere in this small box suddenly fell silent.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook the wine glass in his hand, seeming to be considering what Chenli said.

Chenli was not in a hurry, and just looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he did not drink the sake again. After all, to him, this sake was just like plain water with no taste, just like the one he was 'forced' to drink yesterday. The Maozi that came out was completely incomparable.

After a long time.

"Boss Chenli, can you tell me what your purpose is?" Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the wine glass in his hand and looked into Chenli's eyes with burning eyes.

It seems that this is what Sarutobi Hiruzen values ​​most.

"I thought you would ask other questions, but I didn't expect you to ask this." Chen Li said with some humor.

After all, for Sarutobi Hiruzen, this issue can be said to be the least important.

"This question can already cover a lot of issues for me." Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists, as if he valued Chenli's answer.

"As I told you before, Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen, I came to Konoha for no particular purpose. I just want to travel through all the plots and see clearly what Konoha brings. The sense of it, and watching this unfold as a bystander.”

Chenli sighed, and then slowly spoke out.

"Is that just like this?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with some disbelief.

"Yes, otherwise what other purpose do I have?" Chenli asked, it seemed that Hiruzen Sarutobi had also asked this before.

"What about the Sound Ninja Village? And, Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Chenli with narrowed eyes.

"Sound Ninja Village, haha, Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen, this doesn't seem to have much to do with me. The founder of Sound Ninja Village is Lord Orochimaru." Chenli said happily.

"But, you are one of the partners of the Sound Ninja Village after all. You can't explain this." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a frown.

"Yes, but about this matter, Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen, what do you think is the most important point? It was because you and Danzo teamed up to expel Lord Orochimaru from Konoha. You will not forget this matter. Bar?"

"Orochimaru did it because he violated Konoha's rules..."

"But, Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen, you don't know who asked Orochimaru to conduct these studies, right?" Chenli interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"It's... Danzo." Hiruzen Sarutobi said bitterly.

Yes, it seems that what Orochimaru is now is not the fault of others but his own fault.

"If it weren't for the fact that you want to kill Orochimaru, and...actually, what Sir Sarutobi Hiruzen is afraid of is that Orochimaru will take your place.

Come on. "

Chenli narrowed his eyes and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"What a joke! I am a mighty Ninja! The Third Hokage! If I was afraid of this, why would I choose to give up the position of Hokage to Namikaze Minato!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said angrily.

"That's because you can control Namikaze Minato, but... Orochimaru, you can't control it!" Chenli directly put this aside.

Indeed, in the Third Ninja War, Namikaze Minato's record was very impressive, but Orochimaru's record also did not belong to Namikaze Minato.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo hadn't raised Namikaze Minato's momentum behind his back, Namikaze Minato's popularity would actually be weaker.

Moreover, it would be easier for Sarutobi Hiruzen to control a Hokage like Namikaze Minato who was born as a civilian, but Orochimaru was different.

Orochimaru himself is already a senior Kage-level powerhouse, and he also has the title of one of the Sannin of Konoha.

In this case, Namikaze Minato's advantage was very small. However, after the rumor attack by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, Orochimaru's popularity could be said to have plummeted.

What happened next was that Namikaze Minato became the fourth Hokage.

But whether they are ANBU or Hokage assistants, they are still ordinary people.

In fact, during the time when Namikaze Minato was in power, most things actually required an extra step, and that was to bring it to Sarutobi Hiruzen for confirmation.

Therefore, Namikaze Minato is actually a puppet Hokage, and all rights are still tightly controlled by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Chenli's words made Sarutobi Hiruzen silent for a moment.

Yes, if Orochimaru was elected as the Fourth Hokage at that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not have had this opportunity to insert his hands firmly into his affairs.

Orochimaru would not give him this opportunity at all, and there had been a rift between Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen before. No matter what, it was impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to let Orochimaru sit in this position.

"If it weren't for your operation, Lord Orochimaru would never have fled Konoha. Oh, by the way, the operation between you and Danzo can be said to have directly ruined the most powerful shadow-level experts in Konoha. "

"Konoha White Fang Flag Kushashige, Konoha Sannin Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Senju Tsunade, how these people died, or how they left Konoha, these things will not be unclear to Master Sarutobi Hiruzen. Bar?"

Chen Li took out half a bottle of the leftover wine from last night from his system space and poured himself a glass.

For a moment, the strong aroma of wine began to fill the small box.

As if he smelled this smell, Sarutobi Hiruzen stared straight at the bottle in Chen Li's hand.

As someone who loves wine, the aroma of the wine that Chenli brought out simply made Sarutobi Hiruzen a little confused.

In comparison, the sake that I thought was delicious just now is completely useless in front of this.

"Also, Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen, after you took over Konoha, it actually seemed like Konoha was prospering and everything was developing well, but in fact, Konoha's combat effectiveness has dropped significantly. 50%, right?”

Chenli looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a smile.

"This..." Sarutobi Hiruzen withdrew his eyes from the wine bottle in Chenli's hand. He had actually listened to what Chenli said just now.

He himself also knew that these things must be closely related to him.

However, the pride of being the Hokage made him not want to admit all this.

Even in his delusion, Hiruzen Sarutobi was deceiving himself as if he wanted to prevent his reputation from being affected.

Chapter 313: I recommend Uchiha Fugaku

"Am I wrong?" Sarutobi Hiruzen had a look of silence in his eyes.

The older he gets, the more hesitant he becomes.

For him, he wants to seize power now, but he is afraid of the life after losing it.

After working in the position of Hokage for so many years, he has stepped in to control many things that he can control.

After being controlled by him, Konoha actually did not achieve an increase in strength, but instead decreased every year.

This is also the result that Chenli slowly realized on his own during the two years and almost three years since he was absent from Konoha.

Now, he doesn't have a character like Danzo by his side to help him wipe his ass. He has been left to deal with Konoha in these bright years.

On the dark side, he was a little powerless.

"Master Sarutobi Hiruzen, this matter is not about right or wrong, but a deeper understanding." Chenli looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who seemed to have aged many years in front of him, with nothing in his eyes. mercy.

Through years of operation, he and Danzo had cut off many branches from Konoha, a towering tree.

It's not that Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't have a good side, but in this situation of materialism and overwhelming power, he slowly lost his true heart.

"So, Boss Chenli, do you have any solution to Konoha's current predicament?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, then raised his head and looked at Chenli.

"What? Sir Sarutobi Hiruzen still needs to come to me for advice?" Chen Li smiled slightly, picked up his own bottle and poured a glass for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"This wine is good." Sarutobi Hiruzen put the glass under his nose and smelled it. As soon as he smelled the aroma of the wine, he wanted to have a drink with Chenli.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew that the relationship between himself and Chenli was not that good.

"It's not bad." Chen Li just said lightly, and for a moment, the small box fell into silence again.

...

"Yes, I can't solve this dilemma." Sarutobi Hiruzen finally raised his head and looked at Chenli with burning eyes. He really couldn't think of any other way to solve the current situation in Konoha.

He didn't want to bow to Chenli, but in fact, he still wanted to see Konoha get better.

"It's actually not difficult to solve this dilemma, but I don't know if Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen can accept it." Chen Li said lightly, still having thoughts on this matter.

"I can accept it." Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes. At this time, this was all he could do.

"It's very simple. You abdicate and let someone with more ideas take this position." Chenli said these words directly.

"..." Sarutobi Hiruzen just remained silent after hearing Chen Li's words.

"I believe that Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen has thought about this before, but..."

"But I couldn't think of anyone to take over this matter." Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes in pain. During this period of reflection, he thought about this.
