Konoha Task Maniac

In the eyes of ordinary people, as Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen should be very busy. There are endless documents to review and endless major decisions to be made every day.

In fact, Hiruzen Sarutobi's job as Hokage is not as busy as most people think.

The first thing he does when he comes to the office every day is to open the drawer of his desk, make himself a cup of green tea, and then use the crystal ball to observe the situation in Konoha Village while drinking the tea.

It's the same today. Make a cup of green tea and use the telescope skillfully.

Business as usual.

However, when he turned his 'eyes' to the Ninja School, he couldn't help but smile.

Because today is the day of the graduation exam for the sixth graders of Ninja School.

"Soon there will be another group of children who can become ninjas who defend Konoha."

Looking at the energetic children in the crystal ball, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel proud.

As long as there are no major changes in the ninja world and the village continues to be prosperous and passed down from generation to generation, Konoha will be on the top of the ninja world again sooner or later.

"I just don't know if Kumogakure and Iwagakure are causing any trouble."

Konoha seems to be peaceful and prosperous now, but as the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen knows what dangers lie beneath this hard-won peace.

Yes, Konoha won World War II and World War III under his leadership.

Through these two wars, the majesty of Konoha was announced to the world and the entire ninja world.

However, after these years of development, the economy of Konoha Village is getting better and better, but the top combat power among ninjas has fallen short.

Among all the ninjas in Konoha who have reached the Kage level, apart from the Third Hokage, there is also Shimura Danzo who can barely be considered a ninja.

Like their two young companions, Mito Monen and Koharu Koharu, who were consumed by the peaceful life and lust for power, he should have laughed at being able to achieve chuunin level strength.

Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that he had to bear some responsibility for causing the interruption of top combat power.

Think about how powerful Konoha was after the end of the three wars.

Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Hatake Sakumo, and Namikaze Minato are all famous strong men.

Coupled with the two top pupil families of Uchiha and Hyuga, as well as the existence of secondary families such as Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi, Konoha will not be afraid even if it is the enemy of the entire ninja world.

Because they had the confidence at that time.

But look now, Orochimaru defected.

Tsunade and Jiraiya run away.

Hatake Sakumo commits suicide.

Namikaze Minato also died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Because of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha family was also jealous of Konoha's top brass and was eventually exterminated.

The Hyuga family is a little better. It's just that the brother of the clan leader died, and it didn't cause any damage to the family.

However, because of this incident, the relationship between the Hyuga family and Konoha was quite awkward.

Today's Konoha's top combat power, not only compared to Kumogakure, but also compared to Iwagakure, is probably quite poor.

It's just barely stronger than Sunagakure and Kirigakure.

Whenever he thought of these things, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to kill Danzo.

Danzo is involved in almost every incident. Hiruzen Sarutobi is not a fool. How could he not know Danzo's purpose?

It's just for his position as Hokage.

Just thinking that Konoha still needs Danzo, and that he is his old friend, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not touch him. Even if he sent someone to assassinate him, Sarutobi Hiruzen would handle him lightly and let him go. passed him.

Konoha has already lost a lot of top combat power, and it must not lose such a combat power again.

But he has already made a decision. When this generation of ninjas grows up and can shoulder the responsibility of Hokage, he will abdicate and find an opportunity to kill this old friend who has been causing trouble.

"This guy likes to think about messy things when he gets older."

Shaking his head, Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled, put down the tea cup in his hand, canceled the telescope technique, and began to check the documents on his desk.

Before I finished reading this document, an ANBU ninja suddenly appeared in the office.

"Lord Hokage, Kakashi Hatake wishes to see you."

"Kakashi? Let him in."

"Yes."

There was another swish sound, and the ANBU ninja disappeared, apparently going to inform Kakashi.

Not long after, there was a knock at the office door.

"Enter."

The door opened, and the person who came was none other than Hatake Kakashi.

"Kakashi, why did you come to see me? Do you have any questions about the mission?"

"I have no doubts about the mission."

Seeing that Kakashi had no doubts about the mission, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with some confusion: "Then why are you here...?"

"Lord Hokage..."

When answering Sarutobi Hiruzen's question, Kakashi's eyes were solemn and he looked very serious.

"Please allow me to give up this mission."

"Hey?"

Generally speaking, when a ninja accepts a mission, he will not give up easily.

The consequences of this can be big or small.

To put it mildly, it was just giving up a task. Being fined and giving some money to the victim was regarded as compensation.

To put it more seriously, this is not abiding by the ninja code, ruining Konoha's reputation, and requires a severe punishment.

This mission was not accepted by Kakashi on his own initiative, but was assigned by Hiruzen Sarutobi for him to do, and he accepted the mission.

It seems a bit excessive to want to refuse after agreeing.

That is to say, Sarutobi Hiruzen is easier to talk to now that he is older, and he seems more kind and kind. When he was young, he would never give Kakashi the slightest chance to defend himself.

You can do this task if you want to, or if you don’t want to do it, you have to do it.

Do you really think that he got the title of Ren Xiong through Huairou?

That was cut out with one knife and one sword.

"Tell me why you gave up this mission."

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen also looked at Kakashi with a serious face, wondering what reason the junior in front of him could give.

"I want to be the leading teacher for this class of graduates."

"..."

Upon hearing this reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen's serious expression immediately disappeared, and he showed an expression like "You're fucking kidding me" again.

When I asked you to be the leader of the team, you still refused to agree.

It took a lot of effort to get you to agree, good guy... I haven't allowed the graduates to pass your test for several years in a row, and they have all been sent back to the ninja school to retake it.

Now there are new arrangements for you, but you want to be the leader of the team again.

Have you seen that I am older and have a better temper, so you are playing with me here?

"reason!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already thought about it. If Kakashi didn't come up with a better reason, he would definitely punish this guy to go to the gate.

Maybe Kakashi also felt that he went a little too far this time. When faced with Sarutobi Hiruzen's inquiry, he didn't hide or hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "Because of Nohara Kounami."

"Well...that's it."

After puffing on his pipe, Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood also dropped.

He knew Kakashi's feelings for his teammate Nohara Rin, and he also understood that the reason why Kakashi wanted to be Nohara Kongming's teacher at this time was out of compensation.

It's just that Sarutobi Hiruzen would never agree to this matter.
