After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

Hokage's office.

Looking at the sensible Yusuke, Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke with relief.

Afterwards, after watching Sarutobi Hiruzen's passionate one-man show of the Will of Fire, Yusuke said goodbye and went home.

When Yusuke returned home, he saw that the restaurant was open for business as usual. However, unlike the past, the restaurant was already full today, with a line outside the door.

Looking at his parents who were busy with work, Yusuke hesitated for a moment and then walked into his own barbecue restaurant. He went back upstairs to change his clothes, walked into the kitchen, and picked up the plate amid the pleased smiles of his parents.

Finally, after the last table of guests paid the bill, Watanabe's father closed the door and ended his busy day.

"Son, weren't you on a mission? How come you're back so soon? And, Master Jiraiya came to see you this morning. Do you know what happened? Remember to explain it to Master Jiraiya tomorrow."

As soon as he sat down to rest, Watanabe Meiko began to nag in Yusuke's ear. Seeing his father eating melon seeds and watching the show, Yusuke smiled bitterly.

How could he not understand how much pressure his father was under today?

"Okay, Mom, I've already met with Brother Jiraiya this afternoon. The mission was simple and was completed quickly."

Feeling that his ears were a bit overwhelmed, Yusuke quickly stopped his mother's nagging.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

When my mother heard this, she stopped talking, quickly got up, put on her apron again, and went into the kitchen again.

"Yujie, don't be too stressed." Dad suddenly changed the subject and said seriously, "Someone asked me today if our family has a genealogy and whether our ancestors are blood-inherited families?"

Yusuke replied without changing his expression: "It's not a big deal, just a routine check. Dad, you know it's wartime now, and the village is just a little tight on the front line, so we're just checking to see if there are any retired ninja families."

But his heart was bursting with excitement. There was no shortage of technology geeks in this world. What if someone captured his parents to study their bloodline? After all, if a person suddenly had an ability, what else could it be but a bloodline limit? Yusuke was a little flustered.

In order to prevent his father from noticing the problem, Yusuke accompanied his father and chatted with him as if nothing had happened.

After the simple family dinner, Yusuke left the house, using the excuse that the Third Hokage wanted to train him.

Yusuke left home and ran to the Hokage building in a hurry.

Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his work and was about to go home when Yusuke suddenly rushed in.

Looking at Yusuke who rushed in in a panic, and then looking at the damaged door lock, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a headache. How could his apprentice, who was fine just now, become like Jiraiya and Tsunade?

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could ask, Yusuke told Sarutobi Hiruzen what his father had told him.

After listening to this, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned tightly, but he already had the answer in his mind.

"Yusuke, go home first. I will take care of this matter. At the same time, I will dispatch the Anbu to secretly protect your parents."

But Yusuke did not leave, but stood there looking at him motionlessly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, patted his shoulder and said: "Yusuke, trust the teacher. If you can't even protect the people of your own village, then you are unworthy of being the Hokage."

"is teacher."

After getting the promise from the Third Hokage, Yusuke was able to put his mind at ease. Although he had just traveled through time, they were still his parents. As the saying goes, once you are a parent, you are a parent for life.

After watching Yusuke leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned an Anbu.

"Go, check the current location of the Hokage's assistant, Danzo Shimura."

"Yes."

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in his seat again, looked out the window, and smoked quietly.

root.

Shimura Danzo sat in his own seat and looked at the report handed over by his subordinates.

He stared at the masked man in front of him, who looked like an Anbu, and asked in confusion: "Why are there so few people left in our Root now?"

The Root member said: "Master Danzo, our Root was established too recently and our foundation is too poor. Most of the existing members are orphans and have only been training for a short time."

Looks like I need to ask some ninja clans for help, Danzo thought.

"Lord Danzo, Lord Hokage is here." At this time another Root member came to report.

"You guys go down."

"Yes."

This was the first time Sarutobi Hiruzen had come here since the Root was established. Looking at this dark environment, he felt uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because he had been traveling in the sun for too long and was not used to this cold place.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen walking in, Danzo stood up to greet him.

"Why did you suddenly think of coming to see me?"

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's slightly gloomy face, Danzo spoke first.

"Danzo, looking at this root, I remember when I first took over as Hokage, you told me that the Hokage should stand under the sun, accept everyone's respect, enjoy the love of the villagers, and the awe of the ninja clan."

"As for those things that the Hokage shouldn't do, or perhaps can't bear to do, you do them. You said you wanted to build your own power, you said you wanted to be the Hokage's shadow, to deal with those dirty things for the Hokage. You have done it over the years, and I am very pleased."

Looking at Danzo's somewhat old face, Sarutobi Hiruzen reminisced.

Danzo was very proud that his old friend recognized what he had done over the years.

"After all, I spent a lot of effort to train these people. It's just that some of the assassination missions were difficult and I lost a lot of people..."

"Do your subordinates know me, the Hokage? Do the ninjas of the Root still belong to Konoha?"

There was a sudden thunderclap, making Tuan Zang break out in a sweat.
