Chapter 455: The incompetent and furious Third Hokage, the meal at Kushina's house

Just as Uchiha Ci was about to lead Uchiha Yashiro into the neighborhood in front of him,

When I went to visit Kushina Uzumaki who lived here,

on the other side,

Hokage Building, Hokage Office,

"Lord Hokage, the direction Uchiha Ci and Uchiha Yashiro are heading towards is exactly the neighborhood where the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki lives!"

"They have now reached the downstairs of Mito-sama's former residence."

Half-kneeling on the ground, the ninja wearing an Anbu uniform and a mask with complicated patterns raised his head and looked at the Sandaime Hokage who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Hokage's office with one hand behind his back, and asked in a deep voice:

"Should we stop him?"

"."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't answer, he just silently raised the pipe in his hand and stared at it silently, unable to take a drink for a while.

"Judging from the actions of Uchiha Ci and Orochimaru's Mieguo Loulan and several immortals in Ryūchi Cave last night, they are seeking to capture creatures carrying huge amounts of chakra."

"Kyuubi. It's probably the next target!"

"Hokage-sama, please make a decision as soon as possible whether you want to stop him-"

Most of the masks worn by ANBU ninjas are symbolized by animals. Looking at the mask of the ninja in front of you, there is no doubt that this person is a ninja belonging to the root.

Moreover, judging from the shape of his mask, it seems that he is the root ninja who loyal to Uchiha on the battlefield of Rain Country, O.

Amid the urging, Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and glanced at O, who was half-kneeling in front of him.

"Is this what Danzo means?"

But B did not respond directly to this question at all, he just smiled and said:

"No, this is asking for your will!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly darkened, his eyes were faintly flashing with anger, and the fingers holding the cigarette rod had slightly bulging veins, but he finally did not have an attack.

After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with gritted teeth:

"unnecessary!"

However, the root ninja refused to give up and asked like a stick attached to a snake:

"So, if Uchiha Ci takes action against the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, are you responsible for it?"

"If something unexpected happens to the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki in this incident"

Bang!

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he suppressed his voice and suddenly thrust his pipe into the table!

"Get out!"

Root Ninja B raised his head, quickly turned around and opened the door to the Hokage's office and left.

There was a strange smile on the corner of the mouth under the mask.

"yes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was left standing alone in the Hokage's office, unable to calm down the anger in his heart for a long time.

Not long after a big hole was blasted out of the barrier above Konoha again,

Shimura Danzo deliberately followed Koharu, who was the actual victim, to the Uchiha clan. It seemed to be an attack on the Uchiha, but in fact, it was to provide intelligence for his nominal 'subordinate'.

After knowing Uchiha's whereabouts, he immediately sent the ninjas from the base to the Hokage's office, ostensibly to report information to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, and ask him about the reason why he had not asked him for instructions for eight hundred years. Basically, how to formulate a plan of action.

No doubt this was to spark a conflict between him and Uchiha Ci.

Danzo thought he was very smart with his constant little moves, but how could Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had worked with him for so many years, not see through it?

But it was precisely because of this that Sarutobi Hiruzen became even more angry.

Since a month ago, at a meeting held by Konoha to discuss the follow-up matters of the Third Ninja World War, Konoha rejected Danzo's opinion of adding troops to the Four Nations of Wind, Earth, Thunder, and Water to continue the war, reap the fruits of the war, and force the Four Nations to pay reparations. Danzo had been giving him eye drops openly and secretly.

Even in the village, there were calls for him to abdicate and let Uchiha Ci, the greatest contributor to this great ninja war, become the fourth generation Hokage.

When Danzo no longer aimed at becoming Hokage, but focused on paving the way for Uchiha Ci,

Coupled with the fact that he occupies the moral high ground and the political spotlight, his sense of smell and behavioral logic as a political creature are almost perfect, making even Sarutobi Hiruzen feel even more stressed.

As for why Danzo suddenly put aside his prejudice against the Uchiha clan and fully supported Uchiha Ci to become Hokage.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't understand such an outrageous thing.

Something must have happened that he didn't know about.

But no matter what,

"I'm just old, I'm not dead yet."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly darkened. He somehow had the twisted illusion that a dog he had raised for many years suddenly started licking others. He could only feel helpless and furious, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly,

"Duanzo, how could you become like this?"

"I am the Hokage, I am the Hokage!"

#

Dong dong dong~!

Ignore the episode that happened in the Hokage's office,

Uchiha Ci knocked on the door of the five-story spiral house in front of him, which was considered tall in Konoha.

"Kushina, are you home?"

Someone seemed to be tinkering with something in the house. After hearing Uchiha's call from downstairs, there was soon the sound of footsteps thumping on the stairs angrily.

Immediately afterwards,

"Not here!"

An angry female voice sounded through the door,

But the door was still opened. Kushina, who had red hair and was wearing home clothes, had her hands on her hips and glared angrily at Uchiha Ci who was standing at the door with an embarrassed smile on her face.

"Where's the stuff?"

"What is it?" Uchiha Ci was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion,

"Souvenir!"

"You must have traveled to many places in the past few months, so where is the gift you brought me?"

Kushina looked at Uchiha Ci standing at the door, stretched out her white palm,

"Now, give me the stuff and you can go."

"Ah this."

Uchiha Ci suddenly started to sweat profusely, and subconsciously glanced at his empty hands.

broken!

He had something to ask for when he visited Kushina this time, and his recent rush to go home and blast through Konoha's barrier again was undoubtedly causing trouble for Kushina, who was working in the barrier class. A lot of work has been added.

But now, he is actually licking an old face, without any preparation, just here.

"You couldn't be more prepared and just come here, right?"

"Even ordinary friends will prepare some thoughts when they return from a long trip, not to mention you and Minato, who are busy running around the world every day. If you don't ask for anything, you won't come to visit at all~!"

Kushina obviously had something in her words, she longed out, glanced at Uchiha Ci's cheeks that were already sweating, and was about to close the door!

"No, eldest sister, don't bother me -"

Uchiha Ci quickly grabbed the gap in the door and said awkwardly,

"I know it's me who increases your workload."

However, at this moment,

A vigorous figure jumped down quickly, holding up a bunch of large and small gift bags in his hand.

"Kushina-sama, these are apples and beef from the Kingdom of Thunder, and this one is flowers and tuna from the Kingdom of Wind. My young patriarch left too quickly and forgot to bring it with him. Don't mind, please. Accept it!”

Uchiha Yashiro, who had brown hair and squinting eyes, appeared in front of the door like a hero. He stuffed the gift bag into the door and then stuffed another gift into Uchiha's hand.

Immediately afterwards, he touched Uchiha Ci again with his shoulder, opened his squinted eyes slightly, and gave Uchiha Ci a look that said, "You can understand it yourself."

Uchiha Ci immediately understood and nodded repeatedly.

"Ah, yes, yes, I have prepared it. I am not too excited to see my eldest sister."

"Glib tongue!"

When I got the gift, I could tell at a glance that it was something I had just bought at the gift shop not far from the Hokage Building.

But Kushina couldn't help but smile when she heard Uchiha's "big sister" title.

But then, she straightened her face again,

"Let me say it first-"

"No matter what you want to do with me,"

Kushina put the two gifts neatly on the counter with great care, turned her head, and said seriously and firmly,

"Before you finish this meal at home—"

"I won't agree to anything!"
