Shadow Stream of Leaf

The investigation activities of Hanyu and Tsunade did not really spread all over the surrounding countries of the Fire Kingdom, but only concentrated in the triangle area between the Fire, Earth, and Wind Three Kingdoms.

It can be seen from a glimpse of the leopard that after completing the investigation of these places, there is no need to run around in other areas-only through the observation of this corner of the world, some not-so-good conclusions can be drawn.

From the Land of Rain to the Land of Fire, although the difference between them cannot be said to be like a world apart, the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain are indeed two worlds... If the Land of Rain should be in dire straits, it will be in dire straits, and in the Land of Fire, the country will be safe and peaceful.

"Hayu..."

When Hanyu and Tsunade returned to Konoha and entered the gate of Konoha, Tsunade seemed to be a little timid suddenly... Although she is the kind of person who can mess with the third Hokage, she has to be reasonable in everything. It was indeed a wrong thing to leave Konoha without saying goodbye before, so she is likely to face criticism from the third Hokage next.

Criticism and even punishment are not particularly terrible. The terrible thing is that the third Hokage will chatter and take the trouble to reason. After all, when it comes to the education of his disciples, the Three Hokages are extraordinarily patient.

Therefore, there was even a bit of coquettishness in her tone, so there was nothing particularly strange about it.

"Okay, I understand. It's enough for me to do the task report on the third Hokage side. You can go home directly. Anyway, the things I reported can be regarded as important information. I believe that the village will be busy for a while. of.

Once the energy of the three generations of Hokage is concentrated on those things, there will be no time to pay attention to your problems. " said Hanyu.

This remark made Tsunade heave a sigh of relief, anyway, it would be best if he didn't have to face the Third Hokage directly now.

So, the two "separate actions" on this point.

"Tsunade."

And just when Tsunade was about to turn around and leave, Hanyu suddenly stopped her.

"Consider cutting your hair? A single ponytail is fine, but it looks a bit childish."

"Ah?"

Obviously a single ponytail is a t?

What everyone admires and likes is different. Some people have short hair, while others have long hair. This is extremely normal and understandable.

However, there is one kind of person that cannot be understood or forgiven...that is, the kind of person who rebelled from the long-haired camp to the short-haired camp.

Bah, x tail x new, Yu〇雨

…………

Hanyu then went to the office of the Third Hokage and reported the results of this long-term investigation mission to the highest village cadre of the village.

Small countries like the Land of Rain and the Land of Rivers are poor and weak, and are in a bad situation. They have not even emerged from the haze of the last Ninja War. However, countries like the Land of Wind have once again demonstrated their love for neighboring countries. Attempts, and even considering the strategy of launching a new war.

However, the lightning strike and annihilation war between a big country and a neighboring small country is only possible in theory, because the whole world is "a move that affects the whole body", and those small countries exist in the cracks between the big countries. So be safe with each other, but you want to take it?

Do I agree?

This world is already limited in size, and a little flame will cause another world war.

The information Hanyu obtained during this mission was not specific and absolutely confidential. After all, he did not infiltrate any Dainin village, and all he obtained was the overall general situation.

It was something that everyone had guessed beforehand, but he got something confirmed.

After he reported to Sandai Hokage what he had seen and heard during the trip, and focused on the conversation between Sagakushi Chiyo and Daimyo that he and Tsunade heard in Daimyo Castle in the Land of Wind, Sandai Hokage fell silent for a long time.

He opened the drawer under his desk, picked out a pitch-black pipe, stuffed it with shredded tobacco familiarly, lit it, and then picked up the cigarette holder... Speaking of which, in Hanyu's impression, Sandai Hokage was indeed an old man. Smoker, then he may be on his way to an old smoker now.

However, smoking should not be considered a good habit for ninjas. At the very least, it will damage the function of the lungs, and at the same time, it will greatly reduce the oxygen delivery efficiency of the blood. Whether it is exercise or long-lasting aerobic exercise, the mixing of nicotine should be rejected.

But this is just a matter of personal habits, Hanyu can only complain secretly, but will not persuade anything.

"The expansion claim of the Kingdom of the Wind is rooted in its geographical factors. War seems to be an inevitable result. However, I didn't expect that the war would come so fast. Everyone just managed to calm down the last time. The pain caused by the great war." After a while, Sandai Hokage said this.

The Kingdom of Wind and Yinsha have their own internal mechanisms that require national expansion, but this kind of expansion will never be allowed by other big countries, and such contradictions are irreconcilable.

Unless the Kingdom of Wind can master advanced production technology, it can really raise sand fish and grow sand rice in the desert.

"Hokage-sama, it's not that fast." Hanyu corrected the third Hokage's statement in this way, as if the other party said that the Ninja World War would start tomorrow.

"It won't be too slow. Since Chiyo from Sand Hidden will communicate with Daimyo of the Land of Wind specifically about such matters, how long do you think they can hold on?

In my position, after all, I have to be lenient to the enemy and plan ahead, otherwise, if I am caught off guard, it would be tantamount to self-destruction... Hokage is a position that walks on thin ice, and I must stay calm in the face of danger. "Sandai Hokage said this way. For him, the things in three to five years are things that must be planned now.

But Hanyu didn't know what to say, "walking on thin ice"? This kind of statement should start from you, the third generation, let alone the second generation, with the mind and style of the first generation, would he write any of the four words "walking on thin ice"?

"So, even Hokage-sama can't find a way to avoid war?"

"...If you have that kind of method, then you will be the fourth generation from now on." Third Hokage glanced at Hanyu, and then choked him so directly.

Hanyu: "..."

Well, he has a trick, so the position of the fourth generation, thank you for not being sensitive.

"But no matter what, even if war is inevitable, it is equivalent to the previous era of endless wars. After all, the world has made progress. At least people have a chance to breathe between wars. As long as this If the opportunity is extended as long as possible, one day, eternal peace will come."

The Third Hokage said this again, but did his words comfort himself, or Hanyu?

Peace is a short truce between wars. There is nothing wrong with Sandai Hokage's statement, but the question is what is the specific method to prolong it?

No one can give a 100% correct answer.

This era is indeed more advanced than the previous era. The small-scale battles in the war-torn era continued endlessly. In the Ninja Village era, everyone can concentrate on a large-scale duel every few years... Now it seems that the degree of progress is quite The situation of one person dying every day has turned into a situation of 360 people dying at one time by the end of the year.

Well, isn't that an improvement? At least the crematorium can be packaged and cremated, which greatly improves the energy efficiency of the crematorium.

Without the constant chaos, the lives of civilians in big countries may have improved more, but the lives of ninjas are still often accompanied by blood and battles.

This topic was a bit too heavy, and there was no need for Third Hokage to discuss Konoha's future plans and plans with Hanyu, so after a while of silence, he turned the topic to something more personal.

"Speaking of which... What happened to you and Tsunade? Why did she follow you out of the village suddenly?

I can't say much about you young people, but the rules of ninjas must always be observed, you have to be careful. "

Wait a minute, this sounds a little problematic, why is Hanyu the instigator of the incident according to Hokage?

Kidnapping girls is a very serious accusation, if Hanyu is not careful, he will die socially.

"Hey, Hokage-sama, a few years ago, Sansho-sensei was still there, and the Senju clan was still there. I think in Sansho-sensei's situation, even though she has the same affection for Tsunade, she will teach her a lot. , but regarding the education of ninjas—I don’t think Mr. Sanshio has the right to educate Tsunade.”

Sansho is not a ninja, but Tsunade at that time was the direct heir of the Senju clan, and the "new hope" of the Senju clan after Sansho, the "useless person", so Hanyu felt that Sansho was in Tsunade's ninja In terms of knowledge and education, she doesn't have much say, even if she is Tsunade's mother.

This is completely different from Hanyu being able to become Sanshio's disciple. Hanyu is just an outsider, and there is no comparison between him and Tsunade in terms of background.

"What do you want to say?"

"What I mean is, since the Third Hokage is Tsunade's teacher, he has devoted countless efforts to her, so there must be nothing wrong with saying "a teacher is like a father."

This remark made the third Hokage nod repeatedly, who knows how difficult it is to take care of three mischievous children... It never occurred to Hanyu to become a bosom friend.

But I only heard this "confidant" continue to say, "So since the third generation is like a father, then...you must be very pleased to have a grandson in advance, right?"

"..."

Fuck, what do you mean by that?

Third Hokage's small hands trembled, his mouth trembled, and the pipe in his hand became unsteady and fell upside down on a stack of documents on his desk, and the small flames sprang up.

Hokage subconsciously reached out to put out the fire, but he poked his fingers into the pipe hastily, and the sound of squeaking came out instantly... For many years, Hiruzaru Sarutobi had never been in such a hurry.

There is no way, we can't let Hokage's office be ordered, Hanyu can only go forward, help put out the fire, and said helplessly, "Master Hokage, I was just joking, why are you so excited?"

How did Hokage get Parkinson's at such a young age?

"Joke? Which sentence do you start with?"

Look, does this have to be accompanied by Alzheimer's?

How about staying safe in the face of danger?

How about Hokage really changing someone?
