The Hokage's office at this time.
The third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in a chair with a pipe in his mouth expressionlessly, and the whole Hokage's office was hazy with smoke.
On the desk was a list of all the rewards for the Daimyo, and his name, the third Hokage, was not on it.
It seemed that in the mind of the Fire Country Daimyo, the victory of this war had nothing to do with him, and that was why the news reported by the Anbu that Hatake Sakumo was wearing a Hokage half-sleeve was particularly harsh.
"Xiaochun, Yan, what do you think the Daimyo meant."
He handed the list on the table to the two people in front of him. In the reward column for Hatake Sakumo, in addition to some common items, there was also a samurai glory decoration.
And the report from the Anbu, this so-called samurai glory decoration is not an ordinary decoration.
"The daimyo's reward this time didn't include you, Hiruzen. Instead, Tsunade and that brat, who didn't go to the battlefield later, received a lot of rewards.
The monetary reward alone is enough to cover the cost of launching a small battle. It's really biased."
Mitomono looked at the string of numbers behind Tsunade and Kitahara's names on the list. The rewards for these two people were just one word, money.
There was nothing fancy, but it was this simple word that made both Mitomono and Utane Koharu jealous.
"The rewards for this war are much richer than the first Ninja World War. It seems that the daimyo is also very happy, but... this reward reveals his dissatisfaction with you, Hiruzen."
Utane Koharu closed the list and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen meaningfully. Not only was Sarutobi Hiruzen not on the list, but the two of them were not on the list either, but Danzo's name was on the list.
However, Danzo's reward was humiliating no matter how you looked at it, and the amount was even lower than that of an ordinary jonin.
"It doesn't matter. The daimyo has been dissatisfied with Konoha for a long time. He sent a warning about Tsunade's previous incident, but now we need to deal with the problem of Hatake Sakumo."
Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes cold.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is not very old now, but he is definitely not young. Other ninja villages have plans for the successor of the Kage.
On the contrary, Konoha has not made any movement. Hatake Sakumo's half-sleeves will easily break the peace of Konoha. Even if you Sarutobi Hiruzen don't go to the battlefield, what if there is an accident?
The Hokage can't be the same as you, right? He shouted that he was the second-generation successor Hokage and then sat on it.
You have to know that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't sit on the position of Hokage simply. Konoha at that time was not like it is now, and the old people in the Warring States period had not died yet.
It can be said that if it weren't for Uzumaki Mito's efforts to protect a few people, the people sitting on the position of Hokage now don't know which ninja clan they are from.
"Why not... cancel Danzo's house arrest?"
Tanane Koharu said tentatively. After all, she didn't have Danzo's support now, and many things were not easy to do with Yan alone.
"Don't mention this matter again. Danzo can't come out. I promised Tsunade and Bei Xuan that they would never agree. If Bei Xuan gets angry and a fight breaks out, I will only have a 50% chance of winning..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a cigarette with his eyes drooping. Bei Xuan was too young. He was a teenager and had never heard of such strength in the ninja world.
The last fight was able to stop entirely because Bei Xuan's sharp knife had Tsunade's scabbard. The last time it was able to stop safely was only because the scabbard was still thinking about the relationship between master and apprentice.
But now...
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought silently about his three disciples. Tsunade had completely broken up with him. Even when they met, she only called him Sandaime.
Orochimaru was also doing something bad behind his back. He communicated less and less with him, and even gradually stopped. He rarely met his disciple Rope Tree.
Jiraiya… When thinking of Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s forehead was bulging with veins. This disciple who was most like him was still missing.
……………
Bei Xuan, who originally did not want to tell Hatake Sakumo too much about Konoha’s political issues, was being pestered by him to learn more.
He said he was afraid of falling into a trap and bringing a bad influence to Kakashi, and Minato was also looking at Bei Xuan with a bright look.
For Minato, he appreciated many of Bei Xuan’s political issues very much, and he took notes in a small notebook every time. This was a necessary experience for him to be a Hokage in the future.
“………………”
Taking a deep breath, Bei Xuan silently pointed to the empty teacup on the table. Seeing this, Minato immediately took the teapot and filled it up for Bei Xuan.
Bei Xuan took a sip of the teacup happily, then looked at all the people and Pokémon who were approaching him, coughed and beganLet's start.
"Before I start, let me ask you a question. In addition to the Xuanwumen inheritance method that Kirigakure has been using to select the Kage, do other villages have their own successors?"
As soon as this was said, Minato looked at the Hokage half-sleeve that Hatake Sakumo had put aside and seemed to realize something.
"What is that Xuanwumen inheritance method? But other villages are indeed training successors, especially the Sand Gold Ninja of Sand Village and Ai of Kumogakure Village, among which Kumogakure is the most high-profile."
Hatake Sakumo thought for a while and said. As the head of the Anbu, Hatake Sakumo naturally knew this news. All the villages were quietly training the successor of the Kage.
Especially Kumogakure, which is so high-profile that every generation will announce the successor of the next Kage in advance and give Ai the title.
Then they will also select a person who can inherit the title of "Bi" in the village to form a partner with Ai.
As for the successor of the Shadow of the Sand Village, everyone present was actually very familiar with him, and had seen him fight against the Sand Ninja more than once.
Especially Minato. Bei Xuan, who was in Konoha, had heard that Minato had killed the Sand Village's Gold Ninja in one move.
"Tsk, that upstart? He was taken down by Minato in one move. The future of the Sand Ninja is worrying. Such an unreliable person actually inherited the Wind Shadow."
When talking about this, Rope Tree curled his lips. It was obvious that he had a deep impression of Rasa. After all, for someone whose pocket money disappeared inexplicably or was snatched away by a blonde woman since childhood.
Anyone who can command a lot of gold sand to fight is an upstart.
"It was just luck. At that time, his Gold Ninja defense had been cut open by Senior Sakumo, so I could get close to him and use the Rasengan to hit him."
When Minato heard this, he scratched his head and said with a smile.
"There is no such thing as luck in a ninja's battle. Minato's strength is indeed far beyond that of Rasa."
As a cooperator with Minato, Hatake Sakumo naturally has a say, and he also fully recognizes this yellow-haired boy with a sunny smile.
