Hiruzen of Konoha is my father

"It seems like that guy is not someone who can keep his mouth shut. If you let that guy talk nonsense, the news may have spread around before we even get back to the village." The figure in the distance of Zhisui stared at the scorching sun and waved goodbye. , turned around and said to Long who was also waving goodbye,

"It doesn't matter. Let me give you some news and let the old man be quiet for a while. Don't let that guy who is full of conspiracies bother me every day after nagging in his ears. The last time we let go of a potential enemy for no reason, he was already a little bit troubled. I'm not satisfied." Long said with a smile as he looked at Sakumo who returned after notifying the border.

"Let's go, Suna Ninja Village seems to be over, no matter who wins the decisive battle this time." Sakumo greeted the three of them, and slowly walked towards the village under the deliberate guidance, and as the four of them watched In the missing place, a heroic eagle broke away from the man's hand and flew towards the same direction of the four people at high speed.

One day later, in the peaceful Konoha Village at the rear, an ANBU took the inspected scroll and quickly jumped on the roof, stopping on the roof of the most eye-catching red building in the village. He came down, knelt on the ground and respectfully handed the scroll on his hand to the middle-aged man who was looking at the village.

Hiruzen did not shy away from the one-eyed man standing next to him, and opened the scroll directly. While frowning slightly, the one-eyed man also took a rough look at the content of the scroll, and he snorted hard with an expressionless face. With a sound, he looked at a line of words on the scroll that was bolded intentionally or not with vicious eyes.

"The powerful puppet master who is being hunted by the village, Red Hair. In my impression, only Chiyo's grandson Xia meets these conditions. Your son actually let him go after fighting him alone to let the powerful Sakumo was behind to prepare for him."

"Shut up Danzo, you don't need to talk about my child." Hiruzen glanced at Danzo with his sharp eyes. Danzo, who had just jumped up, immediately stopped and carefully checked the scroll a few times. After reading the content, Hiruzen casually burned the scroll in his hand and waved away the ANBU who were still waiting beside him.

"Long is still too young to be able to control that demon sword. You brought him to the Temple of Fire in the hope of making his mind stronger and suppressing him, but you didn't expect that the demon sword took the lead... "Although Danzo was no longer mocking Hiruzen loudly, he was still very worried because of his feelings for Konoha. If the descendant of the Hokage became a traitor to the enemy village, the destruction of the village would really not be far away.

Hiruzen didn't speak, and the light in his eyes flickered, as if he was struggling with something. The two of them stood on the roof of the building for a long time, watching the sun gradually rise and set in the sky.

Danzo waited, waiting for Hiruzen to order Long to be arrested. He believed that this task would definitely be handed over to him, and only his "root" troops could complete the task perfectly regardless of Long's identity, but Hiruzen in front of him But he hesitated to give the order and kept wandering between two decisions, which made Danzo, who had been waiting behind him for a long time, unconsciously grit his teeth.

"Hokage-sama, Sakumo-sama's team has just entered the gate and is now heading this way." After hearing this, Hiruzen's frown suddenly relaxed, as if he thought of something, and the expression on his face suddenly After a flash of kindness, he turned around and walked towards the stairs.

"Tell them to come to the Hokage's office as soon as possible. I have urgent matters to give, and..." Hiruzen glanced at Danzo who was still standing there looking at him, and then stared at the kneeling ANBU word by word. He said suddenly.

"Let Minato come to the office."

When Danzo heard this, his slightly closed eyes immediately opened wide, looking at Hiruzen in disbelief. However, Hiruzen left his back to him and slowly disappeared from his eyes.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you will definitely regret it. With your character, you are no longer suitable for the position of Hokage." Danzo said with a dark face. After taking one last look at the stairs, he also disappeared on the empty roof.

"Old man, don't ask us for this kind of mission in the future. It's not difficult at all. You can't even see an animal. It's just like traveling." After entering the door, Asma walked in without hesitation, picked it up and put it aside. He sat down safely on the chair and kicked the two chairs next to Shisui and Long, leaving Sakumo to stand and report alone.

Hiruzen glanced at Asuma and Long Hou gently, then quickly glanced at the sword queen on Long's waist, and looked at Asma cursing loudly, saying that he was still on the mission, so he would be honest to him. He stood up straight, but unfortunately Asuma not only ignored him, but also snatched the fruit for Hiruzen on the table and gave it to his friends. Hiruzen looked tired in his mouth and even more tired in his heart.

"Sakumo, tell me what happened on the road. Letters have been sent from the border." After Sakumo heard that there was news from the border, he tacitly reported the situation as usual, and still reported the situation The situation of the battle between Long and Xie was probably cleared up. After all, he had already written the letter on the border very clearly, so there was no need to continue talking about it here.

"Hmm... It seems that the Sand Ninja side has reached its end, so the village can turn its main attention to the other two battlefields. However, there is still something going on, so it is so urgent to send you again. Send out." Hiruzen crossed his palms as usual and said in a calm tone.

"I heard that the Iwa Ninja Village has mobilized manpower far beyond imagination, and is preparing to take down Konoha and Kumogakure in one fell swoop, and Kumogakure has also mobilized the second and third tails of the Jinchuuriki they have, which are almost the same. In the battlefield, among all the forces now, only our Konoha is the lowest in terms of strength."

"What about the Nine-Tails? Why don't we send the Nine-Tails out as well? Isn't the Nine-Tails more powerful than the Nine-Tails?" Asuma asked with a puzzled look on his face, but before Hiruzen could explain, someone behind everyone The office door handle suddenly twisted.

"Because the current Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is Kushina. With Kushina's current strength, going to the battlefield is not a help, but a burden. Compared to Kumogakure, who can already perfectly control the tailed beasts. Kyuubi is not yet at the level to join the war.”

Asuma turned his head in confusion and looked at Minato, who had brilliant blond hair and walked in with a smile. He nodded to everyone and then looked at Hiruzen "Sandaime-sama"

"Minato, I've called you here this time. I have a favor to ask of you." After Sandai finished speaking, his eyes turned to Sakumo.

"Sakumo, you take Asuma and Shisui to the battlefield of Grass Ninja Village to fight the Iwa Ninja. You will naturally know the specific details when you go there."

"Long, starting from today, you will leave the "Ye" team and go to the battlefield of Yunyin Village with Minato. The two of you will be divided into a small team. If there are other team members, you will be notified."

"That's it for today. The others will go back and rest and we will leave tomorrow. Minato will stay here."

"Long, the old man actually sent you out alone. Let's go back and tell mom together to let him change his mind. Who will look after you without my brother here?"

"Mr. Minato is much stronger than you, and rather than saying that you protect Long, it's better that Long protects you." Shisui said with a yin and yang look, which made Asuma's brows jump. The two of them Before they even left the Hokage building, they immediately started fighting. Sakumo looked at Long, who didn't stop at all, intentionally or unintentionally. He turned around and pulled the two of them apart, but was knocked down by the combined punch of the two.

"...You have to be more careful. After all, you are not allowed to contact someone from an enemy village without reporting it, no matter what your identity is."

"Yes, I will pay close attention to this aspect. In fact, I think we can communicate with him. After all, we haven't seen any abnormal phenomena yet, right?"

"If he wanted to say something, he could tell me at any time, but he didn't, and he didn't have any secret contact alone. It seemed that he did it deliberately to show us. It is because of this that I arranged for you to be with him. What are your thoughts? Delicate, you should be able to guess what he is thinking."

"Yeah." Halfway through the words, the two of them looked in the same direction at the same time. It was a blank wall, but just now it gave them the feeling that someone was peeping there.

Hiruzen stood up and looked at Long's figure walking alone downstairs outside the window. He sighed, waved his hand and let Minato leave, while he grabbed his pipe and smoked it.

Long, who was far away, suddenly paused on his way home. He smiled strangely and then immediately returned to his previous expression, continuing to walk home.
