Chapter 71 Hearing Is False, Seeing Is Believing

Sarutobi Hiruzen actually said that, which made Itachi and Shisui feel even heavier.

This means that what Lin Yan just said was right.

The Fire Nation Daimyo was unwilling to make efforts to improve the treatment of the Uchiha Guards.

He was just trying to deal with Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage of Konoha Village.

I couldn't refuse directly, so I came up with a delaying strategy.

After three days, if nothing else happens, it will be another three days.

It may also be that the mud cow simply fell into the sea and there was no news.

"Thank you, Mr. Third Generation. You have done a lot for us. It really makes us feel bad..."

At this time, Shisui, after recovering from the loss, quickly thanked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Itachi also nodded to Sarutobi Hiruzen to express his gratitude.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing and smoked his pipe silently. He was actually very distressed and guilty inside.

He couldn't solve the problems in his own village by himself, which made his subordinates feel uneasy and put Konoha Village into a difficult situation.

As the Hokage, a leader of the village, he felt he had an unshirkable responsibility.

"Don't worry, Itachi, Shisui."

"If the daimyo is unwilling to agree to this request in the end, I will use part of my income to subsidize your Uchiha clan's security force every month."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly spoke at this time.

Hearing what he said, Kakashi's eyes froze slightly.

Shisui and Itachi also looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with wide eyes and surprise.

"Third Generation-sama, how is this allowed?"

"We cannot let you sacrifice your own interests, Mr. Third Generation, this is absolutely impossible."

Shisui and Itachi were both shocked and quickly rejected Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen just smiled and said nothing.

After taking two puffs of cigarette, he laughed and said: "I am the shadow of Konoha Village. I have the responsibility to lead Konoha Village towards a better future."

"The affairs of the Uchiha clan are also affecting my heart."

"If your family's problems are not solved for a day, I will feel uneasy..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words made both Itachi and Shisui's cheeks feel a little hot, and they just felt ashamed.

In contrast to Lord Third Hokage, who distinguishes right from wrong and takes into account the overall situation.

Looking back at the members of my own family, they only know how to make unreasonable troubles all day long, either with this one or with that one.

For a moment, both Shisui and Itachi felt that for the first time, they felt so disgusted with their own family and their own people.

"It's so high..."

Lin Yan silently listened to Sarutobi Hiruzen's conversation with Shisui and Itachi.

At this moment, he could only call out in his heart, "Good guy."

Really good guy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is worthy of being the person who has been a Hokage for the longest time.

His strategies for the city and his way of winning over people's hearts are really unmatched by ordinary people.

No wonder, even the geniuses of the Uchiha clan are willing to sacrifice everything for his loyalty.

"Third Hokage-sama really understands justice. I was extremely moved when I heard this."

Lin Yan smiled playfully at this time.

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him and smiled amiably: "Thanks to you this time, Lin Yan."

"When I go back, I will not forget your contribution and your reward."

"Hahaha……"

"Third Generation-sama, what you said is beyond the pale."

Lin Yan waved his hand pretending not to care.

"Then let's speed back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed.

"Suddenly, I discovered that I haven't moved my body for a long time, and I don't know if this old bone can still run!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's suggestion moved all four of them.

"Third Generation-sama, do you want to compete with us?"

Lin Yan became interested.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up to the sky and laughed. After laughing, he nodded: "How about it? Do you want to use your Marine Six Styles to compete with me?"

"Master Third Generation, you are so old, I think you should forget it..."

"Lest you say I am invincible."

Lin Yan shook his head naturally.

Next to them, Kakashi, Shisui, and Itachi looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Lin Yan, talking and laughing freely, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

The three of them couldn't help but admire Lin Yan's natural and generous character, which was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Hahaha……"

"Young man, don't underestimate me!"

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, he slowly took off the hat on his head and took off his Hokage robe.

What he was wearing underneath was a tight-fitting black mesh battle suit.

This time, after revealing his equipment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's whole aura became very different.

There was a very sharp edge emerging from his body.

"As expected of Hokage, he is more powerful than any of you."

"Since Mr. Third Generation is interested, let's compete."

Lin Yan looked at the strong and energetic Sarutobi Hiruzen, and for a moment he wanted to know who was faster compared to his own speed and Sarutobi Hiruzen, the ninja doctor.

"Then let's end at the gate of Konoha Village. Whoever reaches it first will win."

"You guys can come too."

Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking with a smile and put on his posture.

Hearing what he said, Shisui, Itachi and Kakashi all showed serious expressions.

In fact, none of them knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen said it was a competition for speed, and it was just a cover to rush back to the village.

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen is worried about the situation inside Konoha Village.

Today is different from the past. The conflict between the Uchiha clan and the villagers has not yet been completely resolved.

He was worried that uncontrollable risks would arise if he was not in Konoha.

And more importantly, Sarutobi Hiruzen knows exactly what kind of person his partner Shimura Danzō is.

That guy is very ambitious. Although he is the Hokage's assistant on the surface, in fact Danzo always causes trouble for himself intentionally or unintentionally.

More importantly, Danzo has always had a hostile attitude towards the Uchiha clan.

He pursues the same principle as Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, which is to suppress the Uchiha clan as much as possible so that they cannot hold their heads high.

Now, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the villagers is likely to be an opportunity for Danzo to use to attack the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, he must rush back as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation.

To avoid uncontrollable troubles.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that no one knew these inner thoughts.

But at this moment, Lin Yan used Observation Haki to listen clearly.

"Before I came to the Hokage world, there were so many conspiracy theories on the Internet. They always said that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō were together."

"Say that he is a hypocrite, let Danzo take the blame, and take all the credit and reputation."

"Now it seems that's not entirely the case."

"At least... it seems that Sarutobi Hiruzen sincerely wants to help the Uchiha clan solve their troubles."

Lin Yan thought silently in his heart.
