Chapter 51 Qing Shui comes out of peace, and the first meeting with Sarutobi Hiruzen

Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took off the Hokage hat with emotion, waved, and gestured for Qing Shui to sit on the chair opposite:

"I'm really troubling you. You, a child, have to worry about family matters, which makes me feel a little ashamed."

"Come and sit here, Qing Shui, and let me take a good look at the future generations and the future of the village."

Qing Shui gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a sunny smile and sat over without hesitation, as if he knew him very well.

Although, this was only the first time Qing Shui and Sarutobi Hiruzen met.

After Asuma and his Hokage father made a stunning kneel...

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked as he heard his former rebellious son's self-criticism of his past actions, as well as his heartfelt admiration for Qing Shui and his desire to have him become a teammate.

This surprised Sarutobi Hiruzen. The brat at home finally became sensible!

But at the same time, his many years of experience in governing have given him a hint of sensitivity.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had planned to observe Qing Shui for a while, was prompted by Asma to find Qing Shui in advance and proactively, and started chatting with Qing Shui as an elder and Hokage.

Qing Shui was very keenly aware of Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart, and without waiting for him to lay the groundwork, he directly told the Hokage's father the general content of his conversation with Asuma.

Until now, the words spoken by Qing Shui and Asuma were in perfect agreement, which gradually made Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart settle down.

But this was not enough. The Hokage of Konoha would also give Qing Shui a final test.

"Hokage-sama, I don't think there is anything troublesome about Asuma. On the contrary, I enjoy getting along with him. He is an enthusiastic, sunny and talented ninja."

Qing Shui smiled and took the tea handed over by Sarutobi Hiruzen. After thanking him, he said slowly:

"What surprised me the most was that although he and I were both just students at the ninja school, Asuma had a macro perspective on the village and the ninja world, and said many thoughts that touched me deeply, which I admired. To his measure.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened carefully, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

Measure... What did Asma and Qing Shui say?

How deep has Asuma's thinking reached?

Sarutobi Hiruzen's curiosity and vigilance were aroused. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Alas, I am busy with government affairs and neglected to care and educate Asuma..."

"Neither he nor I, the father, ever mentioned these things."

Qing Shui's face hesitated, as if he had something to hide, and his brows furrowed.

After a moment, Qing Shui looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen seriously and said in a deep voice: "Sandaime-sama, I shouldn't have said these words. After all, this is your family matter, and it also involves another high-level person in Konoha."

"I am just a Ninja School student, and I am not qualified to comment on these things, but as Asuma's friend, if you allow me, I would like to talk to you as his father in this capacity."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Qing Shui, and saw that Qing Shui's clean eyes were full of sincerity, with a hint of shame towards his friends.

"Qing Shui, your grandfather Uchiha Kagami and I are companions through life and death, and you are my youngest son Asuma's friend..."

"In private, you can just call me Uncle Hiruzen. There is no need to call me by my job title. We should be a family."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and touched his beard: "This sounds like I am younger, my beard is not white yet!"

Qing Shui nodded heavily and said calmly: "I understand, Uncle Hiruzen..."

"Asuma, the reason why he didn't understand you before was because of a secret organization in the village called Roots, which is controlled by the Hokage's assistant Shimura Danzo."

When Shimura Danzo's name was mentioned and entangled with Asuma, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes became serious.

Did Shimura Danzo extend his evil hand to his son?

This is intolerable!

"Since Asuma will inevitably come into contact with some information, when he accidentally noticed the root, he discovered an astonishing secret after paying attention over time."

"He doesn't understand why Nebe has not been punished for illegal operations, and Danzo Shimura and you are good friends. Asuma thinks it is because of Uncle Hiruzen's protection that Nebe acted so wantonly."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was strange, with worry mixed with relaxation, but his eyes kept signaling Qing Shui to continue talking.

Qing Shui said bluntly: "What Asma focuses on is the experiment of developing wood escape."

Experiments to develop wood escape...

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly, it was not surprising that Qing Shui knew this.

After the Second Ninja War, the Wood Release experiment was decided through a high-level meeting of the Jonin Class. As the Uchiha clan with Sharingan, they paid great attention to this matter at that time.

But Asuma, why do you continue to pay attention to this suspended experiment?

Qing Shui seemed not to notice the change in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes and continued: "Asuma discovered that after the village stopped the experiment, some ninjas with Senju bloodline disappeared in Konoha and never appeared again. "

"Even some children with Thousand Hands bloodline have disappeared inexplicably..."

"Such a vicious incident, Asma believes that the roots would not have been able to do this without your affirmation."

Having said this, Qing Shui sighed helplessly:

"Asuma and I have told you that as Hokage, you have to direct the affairs of the entire village, dozens of ninja clans, and tens of thousands of ninjas. It is impossible to control all the changes in the village."

"And the Roots are a powerful organization under the ANBU. If they work hard to deceive you, they can still do it in the short term."

Qing Shui moved his eyes to the Hokage bamboo hat on the table, his tone was filled with envy and a hint of helplessness:

"Uncle Hiruzen, Asuma admires you very much, but he admires you to the extent that he hopes you can do everything and manage the village without a trace of dirt."

"So, when Asuma sees that the darkness has not been dealt with and admires his father so much, he will not think about whether there is something wrong at the root, but thinks that you should have dealt with it long ago."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became more and more shocked, and even a little relieved. He unconsciously took out his pipe and groped for the flint on the table.

Qing Shui stood up neatly, his fingers ignited just the right amount of fire, and he went forward.

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Qing Shui on the shoulder, took a deep breath, and exhaled a puff of thick smoke.

"Qing Shui, I don't know how to thank you..."
