My Hokage can't be an undercover agent

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked into the shrine and inspected it carefully, but found no sign of anyone inside.

"This is where the slug's chakra reaction disappears, judging from the footprints."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knelt down and wiped the place where the footprints were left with his hand, but he found nothing except dust and soil.

"Judging from the distribution range and traces of the footprints, there are eight people here. They can definitely be my father, Xiaochun and the others."

"They are heading towards the dry well over there"

Turning his gaze towards the dry well where the footprints were pointing, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked very confused.

"But what did they see?"

"Everyone seemed to be stepping back at the same time."

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, an eye appeared on the golden hoop he was holding.

It is Sarutobi Hiruzen's psychic beast: the monkey king monkey demon

"It should be that we encountered the mission target, so there was such a change in the trajectory of our actions."

The words of the Saru Demon were not recognized by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Eight elite ninjas, including a Kage level."

"Use such a lineup to surround and kill a Jonin. Moreover, two of them have immortality and Mangekyō Sharingan respectively."

"It would be fine if only one or two people retreated, but with everyone, I really can't figure out why they would do this."

Following Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, the Saru Demon further talked about his speculation.

"Perhaps the target acted very shockingly at the time."

"For example, there are blood stains all over the body, or some large psychic beast has been summoned."

Looking at the footprints in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a daze.But he still listened to what the monkey demon said.

"No that's not the case."

"Look, monkey demon, although there are traces of fighting here, they are almost all outside the shrine."

"Within a hundred steps around the dry well, there is no sign of any fighting at all."

"Ninjutsu, kunai, detonating charms, and the indentation on the ground that existed when the large psychic beast was summoned, there is nothing here."

"And judging from the remaining footprints, everyone disappeared almost as soon as they stood."

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen removed his eyes from the footprints on the ground and stared blankly at the sky.

"what exactly is it"

A hotel in a border town of Iron Country.

Second floor room.

After using the Heavenly Sending Technique to convey the news to Uzumaki Mito, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his attention to the Sunagakure kunoichi lying on the bed.

"you're awake."

"I, I remember"

Covering her head, Chiyo took a while to realize that she was in a strange place and in the same room as a strange man.

Even though she is a strong man who has experienced many battles, Chiyo immediately pulled up the quilt and wrapped herself up like all the girls.

"Who are you, that monkey-faced man?"

Then, Chiyo, who discovered that she had been put into a complete set of pajamas, sounded frightened and tinged with tears.

"You, you take me"

Seeing that the female Sunagakure in front of him showed signs of crying, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly raised his hands.

"No, no, no, I didn't do anything."

"I asked the female shop assistant to change your clothes for you."

Seeing the disbelief on Chiyo's face, Sarutobi Hiruzen explained again.

"Really, I saw you floating in the pool and you were wearing a ninja suit, so I picked you up."

"I do not believe"

Chiyo's reply was straightforward and firm.

"There are no kind-hearted people passing by now. You must have ulterior motives and why do you have to save a ninja?"

"You don't"

Looking at what the man opposite took out of his pocket, Chiyo was speechless for a moment.

"Now you know the reason why I saved you, Sunagakure Chiyo."

"You know my name"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not answer Chiyo's words.

He put away the Konoha forehead protector he took out from his pocket, and then spoke in a sad tone.

"I did a little check on your body."

Chiyo was a little embarrassed when she heard what Hiruzen Sarutobi said, but before she could use her words to retaliate against the man in the room, Hiruzen Sarutobi's words stopped her from talking about these bullshit things. .

"Your muscles and veins are seriously injured, and your strength may decline significantly."

"This is probably why that man didn't kill you on the spot."

Regarding Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Chiyo developed a strong desire to explore.

"that man"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Chiyo, and at this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Ah yes, that man."

"The man named: Uchiha Madara"

Hearing this, Chiyo opened her eyes wide.

"Uchiha Madara."

"Didn't he already have it"

"Of course he's alive"

Interrupting Chiyo's words, the man in the room took two steps and reached out to Chiyo who was lying on the bed.

"Let's get to know each other, my name is: Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"He is a good friend of Danzo Shimura."

A few hours later, Chiyo, who was struggling to walk down the ground, and Hiruzen Sarutobi came to the place where the Uchiha trio had been killed by Hiruzen.

"Danzo, he is right here."

"Yes, the place where they fought should be here. I didn't find Danzo's body."

Using the short time he spent walking up the mountain, Sarutobi Hiruzen confided everything about himself to Chiyo.

"You said you took the initiative to fake your death, and then secretly investigated Madara Uchiha for a year."

"This time, it was also because I discovered that the people suspected of being Uchiha Madara's subordinates were making large-scale changes, so I followed them here."

Naturally, Sarutobi Hiruzen echoed Chiyo's retelling.

"That's right. It's a pity that I didn't make it in the end."

Wiping away a tear from the corner of his eye, Sarutobi Hiruzen focused his attention on the Sunagakure female ninja beside him.

"The monkey-faced man fighting you is probably Madara Uchiha. Otherwise, I really can't imagine anyone else in the ninja world today who can have all five attributes and defeat a sand ninja like you in such a short period of time. "Strong"

Chiyo had no intention of listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's implicit compliment at the moment.

She sat down on the ground slumped, her eyes full of confusion.

For a long time, she spoke silently.

"In order to conceal his identity, is that why Madara didn't use the Sharingan at all?"

"Then why didn't he kill me?"

"Actually, it won't be troublesome to apply one more cut, right?"

Looking at the look Chiyo cast towards him, Hiruzen spoke softly.

"Because he doesn't care."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words made Chiyo hold her head in pain.

As if he couldn't bear it, Sarutobi Hiruzen added an extra explanation.

"Actually, maybe it's not that simple."

"Letting you survive may be what Madara is looking forward to."
