The Thousand Faces of Konoha's Weird Man

110 Historical Ruts

"It's late at night, you should go back and rest first." After talking about what should be said, Sarutobi Hiruzen dismissed his son.

"But for your safety"

"Aren't there ANBU on duty?" the old man chuckled, "What's more, is there any safer place in Konoha than here?"

"Okay, but for your health, please rest early."

"As we get older, we sleep less." After dealing with his nagging child, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Why do you need to sleep for a long time before you are alive? You will sleep forever after death. This truth becomes more obvious as you get older.

Leaning on his chair, although he closed his eyes, the old man really couldn't sleep.

The matter just discussed still lingered in his mind, and Sarutobi Hiruzen became more and more interested in this strange child.

I have only two memories of him. One was when Mitarashi Anko went to the Land of Fire to perform a mission. This little guy came into my eyes for the first time. In addition to knowing that his physical skills were better than those of his peers, he looked just like him. Like an ordinary young man, he has no bloodline, no ninjutsu passed down from his family, and he has not even attended a ninja school.

If he was lucky, he would be able to live a peaceful life as cannon fodder, and then quit the ninja team at an appropriate age. If he was unlucky, after three or five missions, it would be time for him to go to the memorial monument.

He lost his parents when he was young, but he did not grow into what he was most worried about. Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even see a little hatred for the world in Sakichi. He looked like the more optimistic one among all the living beings in Konoha. That’s all.

I thought it was Moonlight Hayate's meticulous care for his brother that influenced him, but now it seems that the relationship between the two brothers is not that good.

The second time was the time we just met

The biggest feeling given to Sarutobi Hiruzen was that of change, like a child who grew up overnight. The child who had not yet stretched out appeared in front of him, but he had no way to face it like a child. I can't help but treat him as a peer. His words are meticulous and logical. Deep in his heart, he reveals a strong and powerful self-confidence. Confidence to a certain crazy level, or it can be called paranoia.

What happened to him over the years that could cause such a huge change in a child.

"Is this a mission from the Kingdom of Waves?"

Cruel missions are a shortcut to the growth of ninjas. The feeling of watching several teammates die in front of him and being helpless made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel the same. In order to protect these children, his own teacher eventually died in the hands of the Golden Horn brothers, which made Hiruzen feel the same way, even more intensely.

"He saw the cruel side of ninjas and decided he wanted to change."

The so-called change always has two possibilities, one is to get better, just like Namikaze Minato changed after having his own child.

I would rather sacrifice myself to protect my children. This is the sublimation and extension of responsibility. Old people are like the old people, young people are like the young people.

One is to change for the worse. Since the world has become like this, it is better to destroy it.

The representative of this is Hiruzen's good apprentice Orochimaru.

A guy who has broken away from the human thinking model, a shell who has lost all emotions and only pursues power.

The current Sarutobi Hiruzen still doesn't know how Sakichi wants to deal with the situation at hand, or what path he will take. Everything will take time to verify.

However, for such a courageous, intelligent, and perseverant child, Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn't want him to take the path of Orochimaru. He liked research, and he could also benefit the ninja world like the second generation.

All the emotions turned into just a sigh

The storm is about to come. Whether Konoha's decision to hold the Chunin Exam is right or wrong is no longer important. The eyes of the world are focused here. No matter what, the wheels of this car will always run over my body. Well, regardless of success or failure, you will become the history of Konoha

at the same time

deep in the forest

Zoji stood in front of a wooden pier, gesticulating with excitement, then pulled out his short sword and inserted the knife into the wood in front of Winston. The force was so great that the sword did not reach the hilt.

"At that time, I stuck the knife on the third generation's desk and said very arrogantly, please let me kill you during the chunin exam."

Winston also cooperated very well, putting on a flattering posture and looking at Zoji expectantly.

"The third generation is indeed worthy of being a hero among men. Even so, his expression did not change at all, but the ANBU hiding in the house has put a knife on my neck."

"Although I'm very scared, there's no point in taking it back after I've pretended to go out. Even though my legs are shaking, my hands have been holding on and haven't retracted."

"Then the old man from the Third Generation actually laughed and asked me if I die, will I die for Konoha?"

"It feels like a punch hitting cotton. It doesn't achieve the shocking effect you mentioned at all."

Sarutobi Hiruzen still overlooked one point. What can change a person's mind is not only something, but also a certain person.

"Where's the result?" Winston didn't care about Zoji's mood at the time, what he cared about was the result. But now that this guy has appeared in front of him in full force, it fully proves that his first step plan has been successful.

"It's almost as you predicted. They just listened to my statement without making any comments. After notifying me that someone would contact me, they let me leave with Moonlight Hayate."

"It shouldn't be that simple. It may have been marked on your body." After thinking for a while, the orangutan frowned and realized that it was not that simple. "But it doesn't matter. This is already our temporary meeting place. It's planned." The secret base is already under construction.”

"This is good news. I expected to be followed by them or to know the location. Otherwise, the third generation would not be so confident in being able to contact me. However, the third generation's telescope skills should not be able to reach here. I will follow the recent actions. This is the base, and the most important step in the first phase of the plan is to try to contact Orochimaru." The ANBU didn't have any means, but Sakichi didn't believe it. Since Sandai said he would contact Sakichi, he would definitely be able to find Sakichi.

"In addition, I have done what you asked me to do. I have planted the plants you gave me on the road to Konoha, carefully avoiding the base of the roots and the known activities of the guard. Range." This was another small request from Winston. He gave Zoji a small flower, which in Zogi's opinion was an ordinary variety, but Winston said he could distinguish the taste of this plant. Maybe this is The difference between humans and animals.

With the road signs, the scope of activities of this kind of road idiot becomes larger, but Saki still doesn't understand what such a guy can do even if he goes to Konoha.

Most of the reasons why road crazy people get lost are because they can't distinguish between left, right, east, west, and north. Women are among them.

For example, if you give directions to a female friend and tell her to turn right at the first intersection and go west all the way to the end, for a roadie, this way of giving directions is the same as not saying anything.

But if you put it another way, at the first intersection, walk in the direction of xx Chicken Steak, and when you see the direction of xx shopping mall, go all the way to the end. If she gets lost, I will take your last name.

Winston is an example of this. He can't tell the difference between north, south, east and west in the forest, but he can still move freely in the city if he has a reference. Konoha Village is almost like a small town. As long as Winston can walk to Konoha, he doesn't have to worry about getting lost.
