This Mizukage Is Very Strong, But Overly Cautious

For a moment, Hatake Sakumo fell into a dilemma.

Accepting the roots may be a good choice, but hiding in the dark all the time is not the way for a ninja to survive for a long time.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you.

This is not just for listening.

Ninjas who stay in the dark for too long will never be able to return to the sun.

In fact, Hatake Sakumo has always had an unattainable luxury in his heart.

And this luxury is exactly what most Konoha Shinobi fans aspire to be - Hokage.

Hatake has already seen one thing clearly because he stayed in Anbu's post for many years.

In Konoha, as long as one's body is stained with darkness, one will never be able to occupy the position of Hokage, which symbolizes "light".

Taking advantage of the merits of defeating the Kingdom of the Wind, it may be the best time for Hatake Sakumo to withdraw from Anbu.

After much deliberation, Hatake Sakumo finally made up his mind.

"Master Hokage, Anbu's responsibilities have already been restored, and it has already made me very anxious on weekdays."

"If Anbu merges with the roots, I'm afraid I will be unsustainable."

"So please allow me to refuse."

Although Hatake Sakumo's voice was not loud, it was extremely resolute.

After hearing Sakumo's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

At the same time, his brows were also furrowed instantly, and there was an imperceptible gloom in his eyes.

In fact, from the moment Hatake stepped into the door of this office, he had already stepped into the "Hongmen Banquet" carefully designed by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As long as Hatake Sakumo agreed to Sarutobi Hiruzen's request just now, what awaits him will be an unavoidable tragic ending.

But what Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect was that Hatake resisted the temptation of power and chose to refuse.

In terms of strength, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is probably the bottom one.

But when it comes to political means, he and his master Second Hokage Senju Tobirama are definitely the most brilliant existence among the previous Hokages.

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's political wisdom, he understood in an instant.

And Hatake Sakumo's actions made Sarutobi Hiruzen even more afraid of him.

This time, Hatake Sakumo has made great achievements. As Hokage, he must reward Hatake Sakumo, otherwise it will easily chill the hearts of other ninjas in the village.

Originally, it was just appropriate for him to reward Hatake Sakumo with the proposal of merging roots and expanding Anbu's rights.

Now Hatake Sakumo's refusal forced Sarutobi Hiruzen to give something else as a reward.

It’s all about Hatake Sakumo’s current achievements, what should Sarutobi Hiruzen give to be worthy of this achievement?

Ninjutsu?

When the strength has reached the level of Hatake Sakumo, ordinary ninjutsu can hardly play a role in improving strength.

And powerful ninjutsu that fits Hatake's attributes can basically be regarded as rare.

Moreover, Hatake Sakumo is best at swordsmanship, and in this ability, there are basically no ninjas who are stronger than Hatake Sakumo.

money?

Not to mention whether Hatake Sakumo himself will accept it.

The achievements of Hatake Sakumo cannot be measured by money.

And as a strong Kage-level player, how could Hatake be short of money.

After all, there is still only one reward that can satisfy Hatake Sakumo——right!

As for the right to be in the "dark place", Hatake Shuomo chose to refuse.

Then it is clear that only by standing right in the sun can one truly meet Hatake Sakumo.

And this is what Sarutobi Hiruzen fears the most.

With Hatake Sakumo's current reputation, once he really gets this "right", it will directly threaten the status of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen will never allow anyone to threaten his Hokage status!

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

"..." Shuo Mao, you make it difficult for me. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, as if he was just teasing Hatake Sakumo.

As he spoke, his fingers slowly tapped the table in front of him.

If Danzo, who is most familiar with Sarutobi Hiruzen, appeared here, he would definitely be able to see that the seemingly amiable Sarutobi Hiruzen was brewing a terrifying killing intent in his heart at the moment.

"Feel sorry!"

"I've made things difficult for you, Hokage-sama."

"Please let me serve Konoha in the position of an ordinary ninja!"

Hatake Sakumo obviously didn't notice the killing intent in Hatake Sakumo's heart, he responded seriously to Sarutobi Hiruzen, trying to achieve his goal in a way of retreating.

Because he knew very well in his heart that Sarutobi Hiruzen would never let him continue to stay in Konoha as an ordinary ninja.

Silence, a long silence.

Finally, after a while, Risheng's long sigh appeared on the lips of the house.

call

"All right.

"Since this is your idea, then I will respect it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied pretending to be difficult, still with a kind smile on his face.

Seeing this, Hatake Sakumo was not only relieved.

"Tit......."

"Before that, there is something you need to deal with."

While speaking in a gentle tone, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly had a cold glint in his eyes. .
