Chapter 1749 New Konoha

The Godaime's will to protect the villagers and friends is unquestionable. He is not a loser like me who can weigh and compromise.

"Asuma, come with me for a walk."

The two walked around the village together, and Asma told her old father about the changes in the village.

New commercial streets, residential areas, pharmacies, commercial machinery showrooms, general technical schools.

Someone on the road saw Asuma Jounin serving as a guide for someone and didn't think much about it. He was a die-hard subordinate of the Hokage and the head of the assessment department that most ninjas feared. It was not a good thing to get close to them.

"This used to be the territory of the Shimura family, but this family was wiped out seven years ago during the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki incident."

"The Shimura family."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was helpless, this family was gone after all.

"The house ahead of us is the home of two jonins, Hizashi and Hizashi. Let's not get too close."

"This is the Uzumaki clan's industry, a place specializing in the production of ritual masks."

"The prices in Daimyo's grain stores are currently stable and have no fluctuations, and the reserves are sufficient."

"That's the expanded Konoha Hospital over there. Kurenai is doing a prenatal check-up there, do you want it?"

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to see his daughter-in-law, he refused in the end, and the reason was very strong.

"My mission is not over yet, and I cannot see anyone outside the mission."

Of course he also gave Asuma a note.

"This is the income from the work during the mission. It can be regarded as the last bit of help for me as a father."

Inside is a secret address.

Part of Black Zetsu's private treasury was not used up and was conveniently misappropriated by Sarutobi Hiruzen. Doing this kind of thing can be considered a professional level.

There are also all Mizukage's wages over the years.

As the greatest Mizukage in the history of Kirigakure, his income is still very high.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very calm with this money. Without his efforts, the ruined village would still be in the blood mist.

As an inheritance, it is very considerable. We can't let the young couple worry about money in the future.

Next the two went to Ichiraku Ramen.

"Oh~~Uncle Asuma, you are skipping work!"

A whistling sound came from outside the store, and the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Sarutobi Hiruzen's mission target, appeared.

"Naruto, although you are still a genin, I will take you more seriously during the Will of Fire test at the end of every year."

Asma's words made Xiao Huangmao's heart skip a beat.

All the ninjas in Konoha are afraid of this.

Among the five major countries, only the ninjas of Konoha Village are particularly serious about ideological assessment, which is directly related to the amount of tasks and rewards.

So Lianba Chushuo greeted the friends behind him to come in and eat noodles, and Uncle Naruto treated him to a treat.

The Communist Party has not carried out many missions, and this time it used up all the funds.

Whoever calls them is a bunch of sad people.

Something went wrong in the third round of the Joint Chuunin Exams, resulting in no one in this batch being promoted to Chuunin.

You must know that the first two exams are recognized as hell difficulty. Naruto even contributed a famous scene. Sasuke even played the third game.

As a result, they were all disturbed by the shocking assassination of the Mizukage, so the strongest genin could only maintain their status quo.

Then the Hokage signed the combat readiness order, but this group of incredibly powerful genin did not immediately organize themselves into battle order. It seemed that Nakage Shikaku had other plans.

When they were bored, they ran over to eat ramen together at Naruto's instigation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a particularly good mood when he saw the ramen shop that was so busy that it gave people a headache.

The hope of the new generation.

Of course, before leaving, he said a belated apology to Naruto, which shocked Xiao Huangmao.

"That person put on a disguise and is very strong."

Sasuke's face looked a little solemn.

It is really not easy for him to say that he is very strong now.

Shikamaru, on the other hand, lazily said not to mind his own business.

"During the war preparations, I can also have Asuma Jounin accompany me. The orders are definitely issued from the Hokage Tower."

"Judging from his attitude, this person's identity is definitely not simple, but he is trustworthy."

"So, eat well."

Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief after suppressing his friend's curiosity.

That strange old man treated Asuma like a son, it was so scary.

The scary father and son finally walked up to the Hokage Tower.

Looking at the gallows erected high in the small square, the old man's mood was extremely complicated.

"Danzo is right here."

"Yes."

He looked at the renovated Hokage Building again.

"Why does it feel a little shorter? And the material is relatively ordinary."

When it comes to understanding the Hokage Tower, no one is more familiar with it than this old man.

"The renovation was in a hurry. It was the most chaotic period at that time, so Kakashi just had someone copy it casually."

"When the war was completely over, I felt that it was just an office location and there was no need to show any dignity, so I didn't reinstall it."

Moreover, the Hokage Tower used to have a function of sealing mission files, personnel files, sealed books and other top-secret information.

The current Hokage Tower has stripped away these functions, and top-secret information is placed in the holy space.

After all, back then, the Sealed Book was just like the toilet paper in the toilet. Anyone could tear it out twice. The so-called confidentiality measures only protected ordinary village ninjas.

Genbu, Black Zetsu, and Noah all have their own ways of reading.

The advantage of placing it in the Holy Land is that the psychic beast can become the first guard, and the leaders of the Three Holy Lands are all at the Shadow level.

The power of nature's perception and detection ability is also stronger than that of ordinary ninjas.

What's more important is that even special life forms like Black Zetsu can't be found in the different space, so the safety factor is several levels higher.

If the Holy Land cannot be defended, Konoha can also choose to put the information on the moon.

But it is very inconvenient to use it that way.

At this time, the Hokage Building was just an office location and a place for receiving tasks.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, most of the memories in his life are related to this small building. Now even this place has changed. There is really nothing to remember.

Go to the last place again.

"Let's go to the Memorial Monument."

The large and small tombstones and familiar names in front of him made the Third Hokage feel extremely painful. He apologized and bowed one by one, enduring the heart-gnawing pain.

He can remember every ninja here.

The Third Hokage's saddest time was when he confirmed the list of dead.

"If only I could accept the new will of fire earlier"

When he saw Hatake Sakumo, Shinobu finally let his tears fall.

When sacrificing the ninjas of the village, he still had the will to light the fire to cover up, but only Sakumo had truly unconcealed malice.

Do you regret it? Regret.

"sorry."

This was the apology Kakashi wanted to hear but didn't hear.

In this quiet cemetery, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke to his son seriously.

"Asuma, you did really well."

"A ninja who has not been influenced by me since he was a child and who seriously follows his own path is very handsome. That's what young people say."

"You have to be careful when assisting Kakashi. No matter how talented you are, there are still some oversights. Konoha is not the Hokage's alone."

"Remember, you must protect your village and family in the future."

"Don't always hit your children when educating them in the future, but respect their opinions."

"besides."

After chattering for a long time, he disappeared from the place in a free and easy instant.

A middle-aged man with a beard was left crying like a child.

Asma knew that her father would never come back.

On the Shadow Rock, Hiruzen Sarutobi returned again.

"Let's go to the Kingdom of Iron."
