Something's wrong with this Hinata in Konoha

Chapter 180 The most shameful voice
Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe again, but unfortunately he found that he had finished smoking.

He put down his hand and asked helplessly, "Is this your own idea, or the idea shared by the three of you?"

The chief of the Yamanaka clan still did not answer directly. He just said, "This is what the boy Shikaku told me."

Nara Shikaku, although he has not yet taken over as clan leader, he has actually begun to fully take over the Nara clan.

Among the younger generation of the Pig, Deer, and Die clan, Lu Jiu was actually the one who least wanted to take over. However, due to a twist of fate, he became the first to take over among the three friends.

And the more he tried to paddle lazily, the more the Nara clan leader tried to put more pressure on his shoulders.

So much so that now, except for the title of clan leader, Nara Shikaku is actually no different from the head of the family.

And it was after Shikaku came to power that Sarutobi Hiruzen felt more and more alienated from the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly clans.

"Why?" Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't understand, "That Inaba brat already has the Uchiha clan! And now that Hinata and Hizashi are dead, the Hyuga clan will become his forbidden wives sooner or later! Are you still going to turn to him at this time? What can you get?"

He didn't believe that Hinata Inaba could give more to the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly clans than himself.
They are the ninja alliance that has been forming an alliance since the Warring States Period until now!
However, the Yamanaka clan leader sighed and gave an answer that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect.

"Master Hiruzen, that kid Shikaku told me a story a year ago.

He said that there were two people sharing the cake, and one person always wanted to give himself a larger portion. For this reason, he repeatedly cut the whole cake into pieces.

The other person cut it very casually, but his efforts were to make the whole cake bigger and bigger. "

These are indeed the exact words Nara Shikaku said.

Among the three clans of Pig, Deer and Die, he is the only one who sees the most clearly, the most far-sighted, and the most thorough.

Therefore, he was also the first person to believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen was helpless.

Even without what happened today, Nara Shikaku felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen was destined to be unable to defeat Hinata Inaba!
The pattern between the two is too different.

Hearing this statement, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned at first, and then fell silent for a while.

"You mean, I'm the one who cut the cake into pieces repeatedly?" he asked tiredly.

The mountain chief did not answer.

But the silence at this moment has replaced all words.

This caused Sarutobi Hiruzen to be stabbed hard in the heart again...

But even though he was stabbed repeatedly and his body was covered with bruises, he still struggled to retort.

"Haha, but how can it be so easy to make a big cake as you said?

War is always dangerous!No one can guarantee that the war will be won!Even my teacher, even a strong person like Tobirama-sama might die in a sudden war that no one expected!How can that brat Hinata Inaba guarantee that he will always win?
Once he fails, he is dragging the village into the abyss! !Dragged into eternal doom!Instead it’s just me!I am the only one who has been trying my best to strive for peace for the village! "

For the first time in so many years, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally roared out his heart, revealing the fear and cowardice he had hidden deep in his heart.

That was his most shameful... secret and inner voice that he least wanted to reveal to others!

The fact that he has been so afraid of going to the front line for so long has nothing to do with the sudden death of Senju Tobirama.

Senju Tobirama was a very charismatic leader during his lifetime. He was courageous, shrewd, and capable. His character and political strategy have always deeply influenced each of his disciples.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo have never been able to escape the influence of Senju Tobirama throughout their lives, which includes but is not limited to hating and ostracizing Uchiha, being good at using people's hearts to maintain rule, and so on.

But this influence has both good and bad effects. Sarutobi Hiruzen obviously did not learn the true essence of Tobirama.

And the more critical impact is that - Tobirama is dead!
This blow to Sarutobi Hiruzen was no less than a bolt from the blue!
Teacher Tobirama, whom he admired and admired so much, would die in a rebellion that no one expected.

This caused Sarutobi Hiruzen to have a huge rejection of war and an almost demonic fear after returning to the village!This is the underlying reason why he has not dared to go to the front line or personally participate in the war for so many years, and has been begging for peace without any bottom line!
He would always subconsciously magnify the uncertainty of war infinitely.

Because he could never forget: that year, Teacher Tobirama, who was so great and invincible in his eyes, also died in a sudden war.

Once a war breaks out, anyone can die.

So he felt that as long as it could end the war, no matter what he paid, he was acceptable!

This is the truest psychological journey of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and it is also the scar that he is least willing to admit and mention.

But today he was finally forced into a situation where he had to face his inner demons.

After shouting these words, for a moment Sarutobi Hiruzen felt as if he had taken off his clothes and been exposed on the street. He was completely naked without any covering.

This feeling made him feel extremely ashamed.

But now he really has no way out.

The leader of the Yamanaka clan was also frightened by Sarutobi Hiruzen's momentum for a moment and was stunned for a moment.

But then he quickly smiled bitterly and responded.

"So that's what you think, Lord Hiruzen. I admit that what you said makes sense to a certain extent. War is full of uncertainties. No one can guarantee victory. But I think compared with losing the war, it is always better. There are some things we are more reluctant to give up.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen clutched his pipe tightly.

"What is more precious than life? Teacher Tobirama had so many great ambitions and plans back then, but when he died in Kumogakure, there was nothing left!"

The mountain chief shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are too many, such as dignity, such as the village, such as the will of fire that you have been talking about."

This sentence actually contains a bit of sharp irony.

Because he said that Sarutobi Hiruzen has always talked about the will of fire, and the implication is actually very obvious: it means that Sarutobi Hiruzen has never truly put the will of fire into his heart!
This made Sarutobi Hiruzen even a little dazed for a moment.

Is this the chief of the mountain clan?
In his daze, he almost thought that he was being taught a lesson by Hinata Inaba!

How come everyone now dares to satirize and ridicule me? !
And what's even more damning is that he was stabbed and rendered speechless...

"Hiruzen-sama, we all regret the death of Tobirama-sama, but I believe that even if Tobirama-sama comes back to life, he will still insist on his practice of going to the battlefield in person."

As soon as the mountain chief finished speaking, there was a burst of clapping at the door.

"Who?!"

The two people in the room were shocked.

Turning around, what he saw was Hinata Inaba walking in while clapping her hands.

"Well said! Even though Nidaime-sama died in Kumogakure, he was never afraid of Kumogakure in his life! So Hiruzen-senpai, why not come with me to the Kumogakure battlefield and face your inner demons? ?”

"What did you say?! You...when did you come? Did you just hear everything?!"

At that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked.

He never expected that for the first time in so many years, he would reveal his most shameful and cowardly feelings, only to be heard by his most feared opponent on the spot!

At that moment, he just felt like he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it...

　Once again, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mental journey here belongs to the second setting of this book. Just like Itachi's psychological analysis before, it belongs to one family and does not represent the official. However, please do not use other fan fiction's second setting to cross-book law~
