Inside the Hokage office building.

“Hahahaha, these lively little guys, ah – the taste of youth, hehehe.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who watched the whole process from the crystal ball, took out his precious pipe and started puffing smoke happily.

After standing up, he walked to the window and fixed his sight on the Hokage Rock of the first Hokage, Hashirama, and Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little emotional.

"Master Hashirama, the world you desire seems to be slowly coming. The future of Konoha depends on these children."

bang bang bang-

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish his sigh, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Ahem, come in."

I had no choice but to sit back in my office chair and put away the pipe in my hand.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, the door of the room slowly opened.

Mitomon En, who was wrapped up like a mummy escaping from the ancient Egyptian pyramids, limped in with difficulty, supporting himself with a crutch in his right hand.

"It's Yan, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Looking at Mitokado En whose left half of the face and entire left arm were wrapped tightly, Sarutobi Hiruzen hurriedly called an ANBU member and asked him to bring a chair over for his friend.

The reason why it became like this is all thanks to the Salamander Hanzo.

The poison he released was fine, Tsunade easily detoxified it, but the key point was that Mito Kado En was also hit by an explosive fire formation, which directly exploded him into a half-crippled state.

Well, what a coincidence. I don’t know if it was intentional or just a coincidence, but now I can be a pair with Danzo.

Danzo has the right half of his body wrapped in bandages all day long, while Mito Kado En has the left half of his body wrapped in bandages. The only difference is probably that one is disguised and the other is real.

"Huruzen, Mito-sama is now old."

As soon as Mito Menen opened his mouth, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes instantly became extremely sharp.

After quickly sending away all the hidden and on-call Anbu personnel around them, and after confirming that no one else around could hear their conversation, the two began to talk seriously.

"Kushina is still too young. It will take a few years before she can handle it."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's answer, Mito Kado En shook his head.

"I know, but relying solely on the Uzumaki bloodline in her to suppress her is clearly not enough, Hiruzen."

Looking at his right arm, Mizuto Menen tightened the crutch in his left hand.

"We also need Wood Release. Only Wood Release can truly suppress the tailed beasts."

"Kushina is nowhere near as powerful as Mito-sama, so it would be best if there was a Wood Release ninja to assist in the suppression."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was well aware of this, but the Senju clan was now dwindling in talent, and there had not been a Wood Release ninja since the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent, Mito Kado En decided not to beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his coming here.

"Huruzen, I propose that research on Hashirama-sama's cells be initiated immediately."

"Huh? What?! This won't work!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously expressed his objection.

Studying the cells of Senju Hashirama means that the descendants of the ancestors have to...

This is an act of treason and blasphemy against ancestors.

"Hiruzen, I know what you are worried about, but you can see that this is not the selfish desire of any of us. It is really forced by the environment. There is no other way."

"If Master Hashirama knew about this in the Pure Land, he would definitely approve of what we did today."

"This is all for Konoha."

If Danzo knew about this, he would definitely scold him: What the hell? Damn it, you? Are you stealing my lines? ? ?

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and looked at Mito Kado En in front of him.

Hiss... huh? What's going on? This, this isn't right. How come Yan's personality has become more like Danzo's since he got hurt? ? ?

Speaking of which, Danzo...

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and knew how he should deal with this matter.

"Well, this matter involves complicated things. Let's wait until Danzo comes back."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's answer, Mito Kado En frowned, stood up with an unhappy look, and hit the ground hard with the crutch in his hand.

"Hiruzen, you are too weak!"

Hearing Mitomon En's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously said: "Tan...ah no, En, I am the Hokage!"

"Humph, you're going to regret this!"

The angry Mizuto Menyan limped out and slammed the door.

Door: "Bang!"

......

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mito Kado En were having a conversation that was both familiar and unfamiliar, children like Namikaze Minato had completely put aside their differences and successfully became friends.

As people of the same age, everyone quickly became familiar with each other and had fun together. As it was getting dark, Akimichi Dingzuo took the initiative to invite everyone to have dinner at his own barbecue restaurant.

"Wow, yeah yeah!"

Yahiko was the first to jump out and express his full agreement. Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi naturally would not refuse Akimichi Choza's kindness.

Uchiha Fugaku expressed that he had nothing to say, while Hizashi stared at his brother Hiashi, and seeing that he agreed, he followed suit and said that he wanted to go too.

Soon, a group of children marched towards Qiu Dao’s barbecue restaurant.

"Hey, hey, hey, Yahiko, tell me, what is our relationship like now?"

Seeing passers-by looking at them curiously, Hinata Binbin approached Yahiko, poked him with his hand, and asked.

"Hmm...let me think about it."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the other children also pricked up their ears to eavesdrop, curious about how Yahiko would answer.

Yahiko closed his eyes and thought carefully, with a smile on his face.

"Need I say more? Of course we are friends!"

"Hahahaha, that's right, we'll all be friends from now on."

Minato Namikaze scratched his head and said happily.

The rest of the kids also chimed in with laughter: "Great! We are all friends now."

"Wuhu~Friends are the best. I love making friends with everyone the most hahahaha."

After waiting for the group to go away, Kushina, who was hiding in the corner, secretly popped her head out, clutched the strap of her schoolbag behind her, looked at the receding figures with longing in her eyes, and repeated their words in a low voice.

"friend……"
