Chapter 10 Old Fox and Little Fox

Half an hour after Chiba woke up, Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived, which Chiba had not expected.

Moreover, from Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, Chiba actually saw a hint of kindness and gentleness.

Qianyu quickly brainstormed in his mind and immediately guessed several possibilities.

But the most important thing now is that Qianyu needs to disguise himself.

Qianyu knew very well that this was an opportunity.

If he has a good chat with Sarutobi Hiruzen this time, his days in Konoha will be a little easier in the future.

Qianyu was so excited that she wanted to get up from the bed: "Hokage-sama, why are you here?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately stepped forward and held down Chiba who wanted to get up, and said gently: "Your injury is not healed yet, rest well, don't force yourself."

Qianyu's eyes were slightly red with emotion, and she choked up and said, "Thank you, Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the chair beside the bed and sighed: "Chiyu, you have suffered a lot over the years."

After hearing this, Qianyu bit her lips tightly, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes, as if she was crying because of grievance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the tears on Chiba's face and asked, "Chiba, do you hate Konoha?"

Qianyu immediately shook his head and said, "How could I hate Konoha? It was my father and mother who defected from Konoha. Konoha is willing to take me in as the son of a traitor. I am already very grateful. My mother also asked me before she died to make up for their previous mistakes in Konoha, so I definitely don't hate Konoha!"

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Chiba's answer, he didn't say anything and his expression didn't change.

After looking at Chiba for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked again: "Do you hate Uchiha?"

Qianyu's expression suddenly darkened, and the word that came out of her mouth almost came out from between her teeth: "Hate! The reason why my parents betrayed Konoha was because of the Uchiha clan's dictatorship, which prevented my parents from being together.

After I returned to Konoha, not only did they not acknowledge me, they also bullied me and called me a bastard.

Also, because of the Uchiha clan, the villagers all hated me.

I obviously don't want to be an Uchiha, they don't want to acknowledge me, and I don't want to acknowledge them either, but they treated me so badly that I was isolated by the entire Konoha, all because of the Uchiha!"

This time, when Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Chiba's answer, his expression finally changed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said, "I have always felt guilty about your situation, Chiba. Although I am the Hokage, this is an internal matter of the Uchiha clan, and it is not appropriate for me as the Hokage to interfere. I hope you can understand.

Here, I give you a chance, Qianyu, to let you return to the Uchiha clan and become a real Uchiha, are you willing?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Chiba with burning eyes.

And Qianyu refused without any hesitation: "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, I don't want to!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why?"

Qianyu replied: "I don't want to join the Uchiha clan humbly. Even if I rely on the Hokage to join now, it can't change my current situation!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was puzzled and said, "But if you join the Uchiha clan, at least the villagers will not discriminate against you, and your living conditions will be greatly improved. Don't you want to change your current situation?"

Qian Yu said unconvincedly: "Hokage, I know why the villagers discriminate against me, because I have half the blood of the Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha clan relies on the status of the Konoha Guard to bully others in Konoha, making almost all the villagers hate it.

If I rejoin the Uchiha clan, maybe the villagers won’t discriminate against me openly, but they will still look down on me in their hearts…"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly interrupted Chiba and said seriously: "Be careful with your words! The Uchiha clan's Konoha Guard was founded by the Second Hokage. The Uchiha clan also contributed to Konoha. As a member of Konoha, Chiba, you can't slander a ninja clan that contributed to Konoha like this!"

Qianyu complained in his heart.

This old fox, if I didn't know that he was troubled by the Uchiha clan now, I might really believe that he was protecting the Uchiha clan.

Chiyu knew very well that Sarutobi Hiruzen was just pretending for him.

Otherwise, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not have specifically mentioned that the Konoha Guard was founded by the Nidaime, and also said something like "as a part of Konoha".

Qianyu said firmly: "Hokage, I don't want to join the Uchiha clan. I want to become a ninja and contribute to Konoha. First, to make up for the mistakes of my parents, and second, I want to make all the villagers recognize me through my own efforts.

I want the villagers to know that I, Chiyu, am not a member of the Uchiha clan, nor am I a traitor. I am a ninja loyal to Konoha, nothing more!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction: "It is a difficult task to make all the villagers recognize you. Are you ready, Chiyu?"

Qianyu's expression was extremely resolute: "I am ready, Hokage-sama!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen now looks at Chiba as if he were an outstanding junior: "Okay, Chiba, I believe you can do it!

Since you don't want to join the Uchiha clan, I won't force you. The house you lived in before is too far away. After you are discharged from the hospital, I will arrange a new house for you that is closer to the Ninja School, so that it will be more convenient for you to go to the Ninja School."

Qianyu said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's really tiring to talk to this old fox Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If you ask him directly at the beginning whether he hates Konoha, would he dare to hate it?

To say that he hated it, Qianyu felt that he might not live long.

The current Sarutobi Hiruzen is not in his old age.

Maybe when he is old, Sarutobi Hiruzen might become kinder, but now Sarutobi Hiruzen is in his prime, and his methods will definitely not be gentle.

Next, he asked Chiba whether he hated the Uchiha clan. Chiba guessed that as long as he said no, Sarutobi Hiruzen would probably not believe him anymore.

Faced with isolation and abuse from the entire village, and the Uchiha clan was the cause of all this, how could anyone not hate it?

By saying that he hated the Uchiha clan, Chiba could take the opportunity to show his loyalty and tell Sarutobi Hiruzen that he wanted to be a ninja of Konoha, not an Uchiha ninja.

This answer is definitely not wrong.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen saying that Chiba should join the Uchiha clan, Chiba knew that it was all bullshit.

Sarutobi Hiruzen just wanted to confirm his true thoughts.

Now asking Chiba to move to a place closer to the Ninja Academy means that Sarutobi Hiruzen basically trusts him.

If nothing unexpected happens, after Chiba graduates and becomes a ninja, she will become a ninja from the Hokage series.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't care about the discrimination against him by the villagers and the Uchiha clan, at least Chiba will not be marginalized after becoming a ninja.

After all, even ninjas still have to have relationships.
