Uchiha Fugaku frowned, "I heard that Uzumaki Kushina already has someone she likes. Isn't it inappropriate to do this?"
Some people on the field looked at Uchiha Fugaku strangely.
Recently, there have been rumors in Konohagakure that Uchiha Fugaku is preparing to get married, and his partner is Uchiha Mikoto, who is the same age as Senju Nawaki.
Being five years younger than Uchiha Fugaku, he is considered an old cow picking young grass in the ninja world, yet he dares to question others?
"Let her sacrifice herself for Konohagakure."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and stopped Uchiha Fugaku from continuing. This was his chance to survive.
In the ninja family, feelings have always been an exchange of interests.
Uchiha Fugaku stopped talking, his frown never relaxed. He was always strict with others but lenient with himself.
"I agree with what Hiruzen said." Homura Mitokado agreed.
He also had a sense of crisis in his heart. When it came to the affairs of the Senju clan, he had made wrong decisions and was afraid of Senju Nawaki's revenge.
He remembered vividly what happened in Land of Rice.
It was originally thought that Senju Nawaki was just going to be lenient and give the Daimyō of the Land of Fields a light punishment.
Unexpectedly, Senju Nawaki killed them all and directly destroyed the foundation on which the Land of Fields depended for survival.
Now, all the daimyo and nobles of Land of Fields have become refugees.
A few days ago, he had seen the Daimyō of Land of Fields, who was now selling meatballs in Konohagakure.
He regretted it and was afraid, and wanted to do his best to restore his relationship with the Senju clan.
All the contempt he once had for Senju Nawaki has vanished into thin air, replaced by respect.
It has always been the case that people fear power but not virtue.
"So? Who will be the envoy to negotiate peace with the Senju clan and Senju Nawaki?
Senju Nawaki once said that as long as Sarutobi Shinnosuke could admit his mistakes to him, everything would be negotiable."
Danzō Shimura clenched his right hand, feeling unwilling but helpless.
Set a trap for Hiruzen Sarutobi again.
Originally, he also wanted to do something to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but now it seems that he has to give up and instead set his sights on Mokuton.
The question he raised plunged the entire conference room into silence again.
A moment later.
Everyone looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The relationship between Konohagakure and Senju Nawaki can be said to be very bad now.
If they met, they were really afraid that Senju Nawaki would wipe them out and not give them the chance to negotiate and admit their mistakes.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart was filled with bitterness as he still couldn't find his beloved son.
He had already prepared for the worst, but he just didn't want to believe it.
According to Senju Nawaki's original personality, he might not do anything to Sarutobi Shinnosuke, but with his current personality, Sarutobi Shinnosuke should never appear in the ninja world again.
He used his own vision to put himself in the shoes of Senju Nawaki, and guessed that the assassination of Sarutobi Shinnosuke in the Konohagakure camp was simply a show.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the son he had painstakingly raised would be so stupid and give Senju Nawaki an excuse to leave Konohagakure.
At that time, Senju Nawaki could still be strangled in the cradle.
"I will send the younger generation of the family. As for Sarutobi Shinnosuke, his whereabouts are still unknown and he has not reported back to Konohagakure."
Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a long breath, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and stopped thinking about it.
He turned to look at his old friend Danzō Shimura, feeling a little sad.
At the same time, he was full of doubts. Even at this time, Danzō Shimura was still targeting him?
How did these two good friends become like this?
However, under the influence of Senju Nawaki, Danzō Shimura distorted his will and strengthened his ninja way.
It is believed that the second generation Hokage, Tobirama Senju, did not really pass the Hokage position to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The so-called experiment of staying behind to cover the retreat had already been seen through by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Tobirama Senju was just deceived by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi's wisdom at that time, he should have guessed the reason why Tobirama Senju did that early on.
It was not until today that he realized that if he had been smarter, knowing that it was a temptation, he would have boldly stayed behind to cover their retreat.
Just as Senju Nawaki said, his teacher has Hiraishin no Jutsu, so how could he let them stay behind to cover their retreat?
Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to destroy the Senju clan by taking advantage of Tobirama Senju's righteousness.
Because that is the eternal pain in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions over the years have failed the expectations of the second-generation Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
"Good!
It was decided that the younger generation of the Sarutobi clan would take Uzumaki Kushina directly to Wooden City to complete the marriage.
I hope to restore friendship with the Senju clan and sign a new alliance.
Even if the Senju clan does not come back, do not make enemies with them.
How about one day later, sooner rather than later?"
Koharu Utatane, who is the person most familiar with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō, broke the silence between the two.
He looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in a questioning tone. After all, with Senju Nawaki's personality, it was very likely that the people of the Sarutobi clan would never come back.
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with difficulty.
Everyone in the conference room nodded in agreement.
Such a decision is in the best interests of Konohagakure.
Those who sacrificed were all reasonable sacrifices, and this can also be considered as finding a good destination for Uzumaki Kushina.
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a little regretful that the way he wanted to train his disciple was no longer feasible.
For the sake of his own future, he had to sacrifice Minato Namikaze's happiness and support.
Originally, with Minato Namikaze's prestige among the civilians and Kushina Uzumaki's resources, she would be a major supporter of his.
Now it is to be abandoned.
There was a commotion outside the Hokage Building.
Snap...
A figure broke in through the window, it was Jiraiya.
Everyone looked at him with unfriendly eyes and acted so disrespectfully.
Before, Jiraiya, a commoner, relied on Hiruzen Sarutobi's favor to do some outrageous things.
Peeping at ladies bathing in a public bath, pornographic novels pollute the village's minors, doing outrageous things everywhere to attract attention.
If such a person did not have the support of Hiruzen Sarutobi, how could he be qualified to lead an army on the battlefield?
Just because of Hanzō of the Salamander, we give them a shameful title?
Jiraiya's performance is completely inferior to Tsunade and Orochimaru.
All of this depends on the support of Hiruzen Sarutobi. It is a banner raised by Hiruzen Sarutobi to strengthen his prestige among civilian ninjas.
Everyone looked at Jiraiya with disdain.
Without the protection of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the title of Hokage's disciple, Jiraiya no longer has his previous halo.
