Chapter 64 You will regret it

Perhaps because he felt intimidated by such a bad old man, Lan Ren felt that he had lost his royal dignity. He plucked up the courage, walked around Elder Weasel, pointed at his nose and said: "Hey, old man, you didn't know you just knocked me down. .”

Elder Weasel shook his head, he was really a brat who didn't know the heights of the sky.

In my impression, it seems that most nobles have this character. Even though their strength is not even comparable to that of a genin, they are more arrogant than anyone else, and they don't know who gave them the courage.

"Damn it, everyone looks down on me." Lan Ren was so angry that he stamped his feet, furious and helpless.

Girls here look down on him, boys look down on him, and now even an old man dares not to take him seriously.

This was unacceptable to him who had been pampered since childhood.

The servant who happened to be sent away by him ran over, perhaps because he was worried. Lan Ren was overjoyed when he saw this, and ordered the servant to prepare a lesson for this bad old man, and let him taste the consequences of ignoring him.

This was not the first time he had done something like this in his own territory. Depending on who was unhappy, he could directly ask his subordinates to teach him a lesson, or even beat him to death with sticks. He would not feel any psychological pressure about this.

Before coming, Huang Ren warned Lanren time and again about the power of ninjas and not to treat them like normal people. However, because he grew up in such an environment, his contempt for ninjas was not easy to change all of a sudden.

Sometimes, just being reasonable is useless.

It is precisely because of this that Huang Ren sent his son here not only to gain the power of the Thousand Hands clan, but also to make his son suffer a loss and draw real attention to ninjas.

Being a nobleman involves a lot of trial and error costs, but he may not know that in the world of ninjas, one mistake is often fatal.

Elder Weasel had no interest in continuing to talk nonsense with a domineering brat, and disappeared directly, leaving Lan Ren with a blank stare. He probably thought it was more interesting, and he changed his mind temporarily.

The next day, early in the morning.

Sarutobi Hiruzen woke up from bed, had a simple breakfast, and dressed up as Hokage.

As he walked on the road, everyone in the village recognized him and bent down to show respect.

Sarutobi Hiruzen enjoyed this feeling, showed a friendly and kind smile, consolidated his character, and then walked to the Hokage's office as usual.

It has been a while since he became the Hokage, and he has become more and more comfortable with everything in the village. He can even squeeze out a little time and steal a half-day leisurely, drinking green tea, looking at the crystal ball, and peeking at someone. As a young and beautiful girl, don’t live a comfortable life.

"What a leisurely day..."

There was no one around, so Hiruzen Sarutobi stretched his waist and pretended to be cool: "I really want to find something to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang, and the office door was suddenly opened, followed by a series of urgent words: "It's not good, the Third Hokage, something big has happened."

Sarutobi Hiruzen choked on his tea and coughed several times before he calmed down and said, "What happened?"

The ninja standing at the door hesitated for a moment and said: "The son of Prince Nio, His Highness Lanren, has become an idiot."

"What, it turned out to be Bai...wait, what did you say?"

This news was like a bolt from the blue. Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "What's going on?"

"I have just received the news. According to the servants brought by His Highness Lanren, he was fine yesterday. But when he woke up, his eyes were dull, his mouth was full of slurs, and he occasionally talked about it. Babble, and sometimes even..."

"What will happen?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

"Uh... Swallowing feces and eating it sounds so delicious."

Hearing this early in the morning, Sarutobi, who had just finished breakfast, felt a little nauseous. He closed his eyes tightly, regained his senses, and said solemnly: "I know, I'll rush there now."

As soon as he stepped out of the door, someone ran up to him, pointed at his nose, and asked sternly: "Hokage-dono, you owe us an explanation."

The visitor has a weird hairstyle, resembling a bald man, but it is a little different from a bald man. After all, most bald men have Mediterranean baldness, or maybe, on both sides of his forehead, he is very bald, starting from the side of his forehead to the top of his head. It is bald, leaving the scalp exposed in a half-moon shape.

Although it looks strange, this hairstyle has a beautiful name, called Tsukiyo head.

He is Lanren's retainer and accompanied him to Konoha.

People suddenly turned into idiots in Konoha Village, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had the understandable responsibility as the Hokage.

"I know, please believe that I will do my best to save His Highness Lanren."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible. As soon as he saw Lanren, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but cover his nose.

The smell of shit wafted out of Lanren's mouth. It seemed that he had eaten a lot before he was found to be an idiot.

When several Tsukiyo-tai retainers saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, they immediately stepped forward, raised their eyebrows and raised their eyes, and asked sternly, with very fierce words.

They did this not only to blame Hiruzen Sarutobi for not protecting Ranren, but also to shirk responsibility and put the blame on Hiruzen Sarutobi as the host.

To a certain extent, these retainers also have a certain responsibility for failing to protect their master, which means committing seppuku.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had never experienced such arrogance since he became Hokage, but why did people become idiots in his place? He has an unshirkable responsibility and can only humbly accept the nagging and accusations from a group of people who are not as good as him. Non-stop.

Fortunately, at this time, Danzo, who was a good friend, couldn't stand it any longer. He trembled and yelled: "That's enough. Now is not the time to accuse. No one wants to see this situation. The top priority is to find the murderer in time." If treatment is delayed because of this, can you people bear the responsibility?"

"What do you mean by delay? It's as if we are also responsible." The acting retainer countered: "I tell you, this matter is not over yet. If your village cannot treat His Highness Lanren, we will definitely sue Prince Huang Ren. If the old man knows that his precious son has become like this, he will definitely not trust you anymore, and we cannot guarantee how much budget will be allocated by then."

"Stop threatening Konoha with this matter. No one can be blamed for something like this happening."

This group of Tsukidai-head retainers also wanted to defend themselves.

Danzo released the murderous intent from the pile of dead people. Wherever his one eye glanced, the Tsukiyo-head retainers who looked at him had never seen this battle before. They all shut up as if they were being killed by swords.

After a while, the voice of accusation gradually disappeared.

Sarutobi Hiruzen got a chance to breathe and cast a grateful look at his old friend.

Danzo didn't appreciate it and snorted coldly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's appeasement attitude made him look down upon. How unbecoming was it for the dignified Hokage of Konoha to be scolded by several retainers whose status was far inferior to his own.

It doesn't matter if Hiruzaru Sarutobi loses this face, but Konoha can't afford to lose this face.

Teacher Tobirama is gone now, and there is no one to protect these disciples. As disciples, they must become independent and shoulder the burden of the village.

And even if Konoha is at fault in this regard, aren't these retainers who protect Lanren right?

Therefore, Danzo is very confident and does not think Konoha has done anything wrong.

In a certain room in the hospital, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Danzo: "Thank you very much just now."

Danzo said unappreciatively: "Stop being so sentimental, I'm doing this all for Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a long sigh. He really wanted to slap himself. Why are you pretending to be cool? Something big has happened now. Let's get straight to the point: "What is the specific situation of His Highness Lanren?"

Danzo's expression was solemn: "The test result is that he was affected by a genjutsu."

"Illusion?"

"Well, it's a very powerful mental illusion. Under the powerful mental impact, ordinary Lanren's brain is overwhelmed and turns into an idiot."

"Is there any hope?"

"There is no cure."

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Do you know who did it?"

Danzo shook his head, with a solemn look on his face: "The murderer is very capable. Even if he peeks into Ranmaru's memory, he can't find any clues."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked worried: "I didn't expect that Konoha would have such a powerful spy. What is his purpose?"

Danzo snorted: "Isn't it obvious? To instigate relations between Konoha and the Daimyo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed a little heavier: "What should we do?"

"Put aside the spies thing for now, Hiruzen, let me ask you, what are you going to do with these retainers?"

"What else can we do? Of course, comfort him first, and then find a way to cure Lan Ren's brain."

"Stupid, this idiot is hopeless, so why bother trying to comfort me? I think it's better to just..."

Danzo had a deadly expression on his face, and his eyes showed murderous intent.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted: "Stop, don't make the matter a big deal."

Danzo said coldly: "No, I am just trying to reduce the risk of making things bigger now. Lan Ren's brain will not be cured by then. When Prince Huang Ren asked that day, what do you think they would say."

"Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"This is for the village."

"That's not OK."

"Hiruzen, you will regret this."

"I'm Hokage now."
