The self-growth of Konoha's bastard

"Orochimaru, the third generation asked you to watch the exam venue."

Hatake Sakumo's clone appeared in Orochimaru's laboratory and said to Orochimaru who was observing the trap area through surveillance.

"The second exam has always had casualties," Orochimaru turned back to Hatake Sakumo, "Speaking of taking care of these candidates, this is probably what the ANBU led by you should do."

"呲"

Hatake Sakumo's clone sighed helplessly.

"If you hadn't arranged the second scene, of course our ANBU would be very suitable for monitoring, but the problem is that those messy things you made would probably make the ANBU people unable to react in time."

"So you should strengthen the ANBU's training." Orochimaru grinned and almost said that the ANBU was too bad.

"Hey, can you speak more tactfully? The person in front of you is the leader of ANBU. It's very shameful for me to say that we are good ANBU in front of me."

"Why are you laughing?" Hatake Sakumo glanced at Orochimaru who was not taking it seriously.

"That's not what you would say."

Hatake Sakumo smiled indifferently and said, "People always change, especially after becoming a father."

"You don't seem to want your children to be too good."

Orochimaru asked a little strangely. He heard a sense of drifting with the crowd from what Hatake Sakumo just said. This feeling was not what Hatake Sakumo, as the head of ANBU, should have.

Hatake Sakumo waved his hand, "I don't really have any expectations for him. As long as he can live a good life, it doesn't matter whether he is good or not."

Orochimaru was silent, he couldn't understand what Hatake Sakumo was thinking at this time.

In Orochimaru's view, strength is the foundation. Whether he wants to live well or become an important figure in Konoha like Hatake Sakumo, strength is a rigid standard that cannot be erased.

What's more, in Orochimaru's view, peace will never last long. When the countries have recuperated and restored their national strength, new wars will definitely break out.

At that time, once a weak ninja goes to the battlefield, it will be difficult for him to go back. At least in Orochimaru's impression, even in small-scale wars, the number of genin killed and injured is often in the hundreds.

Orochimaru didn't believe that Hatake Sakumo couldn't think of such a simple thing, so Orochimaru couldn't understand Hatake Sakumo's thinking.

Hatake Sakumo has no intention of explaining this. Although he has no expectations for his children, he will still teach what needs to be taught.

In any case, these years of life-and-death battles have made Hatake Sakumo never ignore the role of strength, and he naturally knows how to let his children live well in this era.

"I have some things to do next and I don't have time to take care of those candidates. You can let the ANBU ninjas handle it by themselves. Of course, you can also let your clones enter."

Orochimaru ended his discussion with Hatake Sakumo about observing the candidates. Although the Third Hokage had a verbal instruction, but before a formal document was issued, Orochimaru simply regarded the instruction as non-existent.

Besides, Orochimaru also knew that since the Third Hokage, his teacher, had given him this verbal instruction, it was an obvious fact that Jiraiya had run away again.

In this case, Orochimaru is not going to take the blame for Jiraiya.

"There are results."

"how"

The third generation sat on the Hokage's office chair and asked his ANBU chief calmly. Although he roughly knew what the result would be, at least there was still some hope for Hatake Sakumo to ask.

Hatake Sakumo shook his head, "You also know that your apprentice is not an easy person to talk to sometimes."

"What's more, no official document has been issued this time." Hatake Sakumo added.

Sandai snorted coldly when he heard what Hatake said, "Don't do this, don't think that I won't know that the guy you found is just a clone if you don't tell me. Once you go to him with the official documents, that guy will The clone will definitely be released as well.”

The third generation fell silent as he spoke, then frowned and said to Hatake Sakumo in a somewhat complicated tone.

"Why do I feel that you are insinuating that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked?"

"tsk"

Hatake Sakumo clicked his tongue, "You are overthinking. Besides, Elder Danzo seems to me to be more suitable for this evaluation than you."

"What's wrong with him recently?"

The third generation couldn't help but feel a little headache after hearing Hatake Sakumo mention his old friend. Now most of the high-level officials in Konoha seem to have some opinions about his old friend.

Although basically no one has talked about this issue, the third generation, as the village chief who has been in charge of Konoha for so long, can still see the emotions of the people below.

"Is it out of line?"

Hatake Sakumo lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "It is said that the contact with the rain ninja was reported to you. If this matter is excluded, in general, Elder Danzo should not have done anything extraordinary. "

Sandai was a little unhappy after hearing this. What does it mean that there is no general direction?

This means that Danzo is still secretly sneaking around behind his back.

The third generation opened the drawer and took out a document bag. After opening it, he took out a few documents, and then asked Hatake Sakumo, "There is a problem with the movements of the root personnel."

Hatake Sakumo sighed and said, "To be precise, the personnel movements in that department have always been problematic."

"You know, ANBU people are often unable to intervene in the missions of the ANBU, but on the contrary, the ANBU people often easily intervene in the work of our ANBU."

Sandai picked up his pipe and took a puff of cigarette, and said slowly, "That's because he has to be responsible for some tasks that are not easy for me to handle, and neither are easy for you to handle."

"As much as I hate to admit it, wherever trees grow, there are often inevitable shadows."

However, those things that were difficult for him to deal with were not all trivial matters. After learning about the recent situation of the Pot King, Sandai was also a little unhappy with the Pot King.

The third generation felt that the previous warning to the Pot King was ignored by the Pot King.

Having said this, Sandai let out a sigh of relief.

"Maybe this is where I will never be as good as the teacher."

Hatake Sakumo didn't say anything after hearing the third generation's words. He just chose to end the topic after being silent for a while.

"Now that the task you assigned has ended, I will take my leave. Next, I need to arrange personnel to monitor this exam."

Before leaving, Hatake Sakumo suddenly turned around and said embarrassedly to Sandai, who was looking out the window with his thoughts wandering, "By the way, please approve my vacation as soon as possible. My wife has been urging me during this time."
