Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 509 Front Road and Back Road

"As long as he reveals his talent and strength early, so what if the position of the fourth Hokage is handed over to him as a commoner ninja?"

"Besides..." A flash of memory appeared on his face, Hiruzaru Sarutobi then continued in an uncertain tone:

"The only conflict between me and him was about four years ago. After he completed an A-level mission and expressed his desire to obtain ninjutsu materials, I refused to agree."

"Just because of this, he, Lei Luo, can bring things to this point? This is really..."

As if he was at a loss for words for a moment, after a while, Hiruzaru Sarutobi barely managed to utter four words: "It's hard to understand."

There is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason. Whether it is love or hate, there should be a minimum causal connection, and there should be a minimum degree of problem.

What Hiruzaru Sarutobi did not understand mainly lies in:

I just didn't get the benefits of one mission, and I just rejected Lei Luo once...

Even, this is a fair, just, reasonable, and fully compliant decision made by Lei Luo under the circumstances of hiding his strength and intentionally deceiving him.

Yes, I did not meet Lei Luo's request in time, but why do you, Lei Luo, insist on going your own way and insist on turning things into what they are today?

Even if he didn't hesitate to meet him, the third-generation Hokage, detonate the civil strife in Konoha, and watch countless comrades in the village die in power disputes, he would not take the initiative to talk to him once?
A small disagreement at the beginning could turn into an all-out war like today, and it may even determine the future fate of Konoha, the confusion in Hiruzaru Sarutobi's heart is really beyond words.

Mitomon Yan looked at the lonely figure of Hiruzaru Sarutobi, that fuzzy face shrouded in smoke, he knew the other party's feelings at the moment in his heart, and felt unbearable for his old buddy.

So, it's time to say something.

"Lei Luo, based on what he has done in the past four or five years, I can give a brief evaluation of his behavior..."

His face turned serious, while Mitomenyan recalled all the information he had collected recently about Lei Luo, especially the conversation that Uchiha Fugaku had talked to him not long ago.

On the one hand, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen intently, he said word by word: "That is - those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish."

Noticing that Hiruzaru Sarutobi seemed to be listening carefully, Mitomonyan closed his eyes and stood there for a while, as if what he was going to say next was extremely important, before continuing after a long time:
"To become Hokage, in his opinion, is not an ideal, but just a phased goal, just to achieve one of his—the so-called, greater goals."

"Greater purpose?"

After carefully pondering the meaning of these words, Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and quickly asked, "What does he want to do?"

"To put it simply, it is to unify the ninja world, but my intuition is not that simple, just because he once said: There can only be one regime in this world."

"That is to say..." Slowly turning his gaze to Sarutobi Hiruzen whose expression stiffened for a moment, Mitomon Yan looked at him silently, speaking more and more slowly:
"That guy Lei Luo's focus is probably not limited to ninja villages and ninjas...his targets should also include civilians, nobles, businessmen, and even daimyo."

"For his so-called rebels, Lei Luo's original words are: They must be wiped out. I don't think Konoha should be handed over to such people."

With a thud, the pipe fell to the ground, but Hiruzaru Sarutobi seemed to be unaware, staring at Mitomon Yan steadfastly, his lips moved up and down, but he couldn't even say a word.

In the tent, the atmosphere of silence lasted for a long time.

Until, Hiruzaru Sarutobi seemed to come back to his senses, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Konoha, it should never be his tool for Lei Luo to conquer the world, Kadoyan..."

"I agree with you."

"Now, it is indeed time to prepare."

"Then... about the truce with Yan Yin and the alliance?"

This time, Hiruzaru Sarutobi did not refuse again sternly, but closed his eyes in pain, leaned back slightly weakly on the seat, and said slowly:

"Let me think about it..."

The voice of the voice was filled with a strong sense of exhaustion, accompanied by some slight tremors, as if it indicated that the speaker's mood was difficult to calm down.

In fact, as long as this fratricide can be avoided, Sarutobi Hiruzen was originally willing to make some concessions, but these concessions...

It doesn't mean that he can bear the war that engulfs the entire world after Lei Luo sits on the seat of the fourth generation of Hokage, which is completely beyond his tolerance limit.

If we really follow Lei Luo's goal...

First of all, all ninja villages will become enemies of Konoha.

Secondly, all civilians, including all levels of society, are destined to be dissatisfied with Konoha, just because it breaks the rules of the ninja world.

Third, the fire country daimyo may even abandon Konoha for this reason, that is to say, Konoha will no longer receive financial support from the daimyo in the future.

In the end, Konoha will go to decline and go to destruction.

The employment system between Ninja Village and the daimyo is something that ninjas like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara can't break. If Lei Luo insists on going his own way, there is no need to say what the result will be.

The seat of the third generation of Hokage was personally handed over to him by his teacher Senshou Fumama, full of strong expectations and trust.

This trust, to a certain extent, is to believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen can become a qualified Hokage, lead Konoha to grow stronger, and protect all the companions in the village.

And the faith of the first generation—the will of fire—is also regarded by Hiruzaru Sarutobi as the creed of his life, and he intends to strictly practice it for the rest of his life, and will not regret it until death.

But now, Lei Luo, a lunatic with extremely powerful force, is bluntly saying that he wants to destroy everything he cherishes and lead Konoha to perish in a straight line. This kind of result is unacceptable anyway.

Since the ideas are very different, and since there is no longer any compromise, then...

Let's fight!

The ninja who has been known for many years and has the title of ninja has never been afraid of any opponent. Even if the enemy this time has - from the perspective of the shadow, it is enough to be called a terrifying record, but Hiruzaru Sarutobi is still Not going to back down.

After all, there is no road behind.

There is no choice but to move forward.

Mitomon Yan silently looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen at this moment, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was very glad that the third Hokage in front of him could really make up his mind, otherwise, no matter whether it was the other party or himself, I'm afraid it would be impossible. Death cannot be avoided.

Mitomonyan knew a little about Lei Luo's character, and it was precisely because of this that everyone... really had no way out.

So, next, it's time to sign an armistice agreement and an alliance agreement with Yanyin.

Signing two agreements at the same time, one second's enemy becomes the next second's companion, this kind of thing has never happened in the history of ninja world.

But Mitomonyan believes that Ohnoki will make the right choice, after all, the resources of the Fire Country can still support him.

To be alive, even if life is difficult, it is acceptable, but to die, there is really nothing left.
