After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

Hokage Building.

After more than a year, Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped into this place again. All the past events kept flashing through his mind, but now everything has changed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was well aware of the series of reform measures that Yusuke had implemented over the past year, but it was not easy for him to step forward to stop them.

Today's Konoha Village has not only become more harmonious in its overall atmosphere, but even the strength of the ninjas has surpassed that of other ninja villages, just like in the era of the first Hokage.

After greeting the people around him, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly came to the door of the Hokage's office.

The two Anbu at the door nodded slightly at him, then he stretched out his hand and pushed open the slightly heavy office door.

On one side of the office, Uchiha Fugaku and others were buried in piles of documents, busy handling affairs, which formed a sharp contrast with Yusuke's leisurely appearance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown and sighed in his heart. Then he put that kind smile on his face again and walked towards Yusuke.

"teacher!"

When Yusuke heard the noise, he silently put his feet down from the sofa, and then deftly made a cup of steaming hot tea for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Yusuke, do you want to abolish the Elders Council system?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the teacup, took a sip, pretended to be casual, and asked in a calm tone.

"Ah... yes, it seems that they asked you to put pressure on me, right?"

The corners of Yusuke's mouth rose slightly in disdain, then he stood up and slowly walked to a cabinet.

He carefully filled Sarutobi Hiruzen's pipe, then turned back and handed the pipe to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Yes, after all, the village elders' council has been in place since the first generation. Every ninja village is like this. If they suddenly want to abolish it, I'm afraid..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke intermittently, and while speaking, his eyes would occasionally glance at Yusuke to observe his reaction.

"I know that the First Hokage hopes that the village will not be ruled by the Hokage alone. There needs to be some constraints."

Yusuke nodded seriously. Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen thought Yusuke would give in, he continued:

“But in my generation, I don’t need to, you just have to look at the end result.”

"Yusuke!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice rose slightly, then he lowered it and advised:

"The existence of any system must have its rationale. The elder system has lasted for decades, and has even been implemented since the founding of the village. There must be a reason why the first Hokage thought it was necessary.

Perhaps we have not thought deeply about why the first generation, who is known as the God of Ninja, would introduce such a group of people to restrain himself. "

"so what?"

Yusuke shook his head, slowly stood up from the sofa, walked to the positions of the three Hokage assistants, and reached out to pick up a document.

"Teacher, this is the kind of help I want, not a bunch of old guys who are nowhere to be found when something goes wrong and quarrel endlessly when there are benefits!

Teacher, times have changed. This is no longer the time when the village was first built and everything needed to be rebuilt and common prosperity was needed. "

"Yusuke..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to say something, but his little movement was keenly captured by the sharp-eyed Yusuke.

"Teacher, please follow me."

After Yusuke finished speaking, he walked out, and Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated for a moment before following closely. They came to the top floor, where the view was wide and they could see almost the entire Konoha Village at a glance.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing their loose clothes to float slightly.

"Go ahead, you can say whatever you want to say."

Yusuke folded his arms and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply, stared at Yusuke with his weathered eyes, and said slowly:

"Ever since Danzo's death, have you lost trust in your teacher?"

"trust?"

When Yusuke heard this, he was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter, and the laughter became louder and louder, echoing in the quiet top floor.

“Teacher, I am very grateful to you. Without you, I would definitely not be able to reach my current heights, but, at the same time, I also trust you too much.

My parents, you still have no signs of waking up. Danzo did this because of your indulgence! He crossed the line again and again, doing evil again and again, and you always chose to tolerate it! "

Yusuke's voice became louder and louder, and his tone was filled with anger. When the Anbu who stayed behind in the dark heard the noise, they couldn't help but tighten their weapons in their hands, ready to launch an attack at any time.

Even though the person facing them was the Third Hokage, they did not hesitate at all.

"I know, and I don't ask for your forgiveness. If I had stopped you at that time, would you have done the same thing?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of guilt and helplessness, and he didn't dare to look directly into Yusuke's angry eyes.

"There is no such outcome, is there? If I must say, there is only one fact that cannot be changed, and that is that Danzo must die.

I know Konoha cannot do without someone like Danzo, he can eliminate some hidden dangers for Konoha in the dark, but he should never reach out to my parents. "

After Yusuke finished speaking, he walked to the edge, held the railing with both hands, and quietly looked at the village below, the familiar plants and trees, every brick and tile.

“There are still many despicable behaviors in those invisible places in Konoha’s underground, and I can leave them alone.

But the premise is that it doesn’t involve everyone in the village. This is my bottom line, a bottom line that cannot be crossed.”

"Don't mention the matter of the Elders Council anymore, Teacher! As you are still a member of the Sarutobi clan, I will still provide you with the best resources, don't worry."

Sarutobi Hiruzen just kept staring at Konoha blankly, without responding to Yusuke's words, and fell into deep thought.

After saying this, Yusuke turned around and left resolutely.

“Yujie, the teacher has one last thing to say. Don’t delegate power to others, because you don’t know what thoughts the person who takes over your power will have.

Everyone can dedicate their lives to the village, but at the same time, they can also be selfish, seeking convenience for their own clan, or even overthrowing the Hokage..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible.

He smiled bitterly. Yes, wasn't he talking about his former self and the Council of Elders?

"I know, but I believe they dare not. I have this confidence. But abolishing the Elders Council is imperative. Please don't stop me..."

Yusuke chuckled, without looking back, and continued walking towards the exit with firm steps. His back looked particularly tall in the sunlight.
