Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 541 Letter

As Tsunade's words fell, Jiraiya and Orochimaru on the side also opened their mouths. Seeing the tangled expressions on their faces, they obviously wanted to persuade Lei Luo to fight for something for their teacher.

Lei Luo didn't look up at these people, but focused his eyes on the letter in his hand. Only the words that came out of his mouth seemed to prove that he was not indifferent to the situation around him:
"Be quiet for a while, wait until I finish reading."

Although Lei Luo can't say that he can fully grasp the emotions that are surging in Tsunade's three people's hearts, after all, they have fought with Sarutobi Hiruzen as a master and apprentice. The infamy of splashing dirty water on your face?
Lei Luo understood the thoughts of the three of them, and it was nothing more than asking him to treat Hiruza Sarutobi lightly after sitting on Hokage. This was not beyond his expectations, after all, even the cold-blooded Orochimaru was for Hiruza Sarutobi I begged for love, not to mention Tsunade and Jiraiya who value love and righteousness?
Seeing that Tsunade and Jiraiya have been actively cooperating with him to incorporate the Rain Country troops in the past two days, Lei Luo said that he will seriously consider their suggestions.

But in the end, should he "pursue the victory" against Hiruza Sarutobi, use various methods to completely discredit the third Hokage, and make his superiors more "in line with the people's hearts", or give up in time to the old man who is no longer alive To leave two points of face, it depends on the letter in my hand...

After all, what was said.

The letter begins like this:

"Lei Luo, when you read this letter, I think I should be dead."

The title mentions the nature of this letter, which is almost the same as Sarutobi Hiruzen's suicide note. Lei Luo narrowed his eyes, and continued to read while resisting the restlessness in his heart:
"I've been thinking these days, what caused the current situation to happen? Is it because of my negligence, this Hokage? Because of your inexplicable hostility towards me?"

"Or...is it simply because our two ideas do not agree? Regarding this point, I have never been able to come up with a definite answer."

"Lei Luo, I have deeply analyzed you, everything you have done so far, your words and deeds, and your unrealistic goals."

"Then, excluding all colored eyes, I found that you are indeed qualified to be Hokage."

"I can't draw a negative conclusion on this point, no matter from your ability, or from your thought pattern and tolerance."

"In other words, from the point of view of Hokage, I agree with you as the next generation of Hokage, but... from the point of view of Sarutobi Hiruzen, I really can't bear to let someone like you become the fourth generation .”

"To be honest, I have always been conflicted about how to deal with the relationship with you, very confused, very confused. I have wanted to eradicate you several times, but thinking that you have been fighting for Konoha, I I can’t make up my mind again.”

"Including this incident, I think you should be clear that if I follow Menyan's suggestion and bring Hatake Sakumo back, or even form an alliance with Yan Yin Yun Yin Yu Yin, you will not be able to succeed."

"But after all, I am a Hokage, and my job is to prevent me from doing this. It is also because I am a Hokage, so I must try my best to be fair and just, and denying your qualifications to become a Hokage is also a manifestation of injustice. .”

"So... since there is a conflict between my identity and my heart, let me get rid of all the constraints brought about by this identity, and fight with you to my heart's content."

"After all, I really can't help but watch the ninjas in the village die innocently because of the ideological dispute between you and me. Menyan and Danzo have said that I'm too weak, maybe it's true..."

"Now, since you have won, then I have nothing to say. After all, the Ninja world is a place where strength is used to speak. If I lose to you, then my heart and ideals will also lose to you."

"I have ordered Chifeng, Kadoyan, Tsunade, Jiraiya and Xiaochun, if you survive, they will not deliberately oppose you, so... If you can do less killing, do less killing, Mu Ye really can't stand too much trouble anymore."

"Then, tell me about your goal..."

"If you are really determined to invade other countries, my suggestion is to unite with Yunyin to deal with Sand Yin and then Yanyin, kill all the restless neighbors, and then unite with Wuyin to deal with Yunyin, and finally clean up Wuyin Lose."

"Until the situation in the ninja world is completely stabilized, I really don't recommend you to attack the daimyo. The risk is too high, and Konoha's financial materials will not be able to support it."

"Don't think I'm scaremongering. The daimyos have hundreds of thousands of years of righteousness. This is what the people want, and it can't be solved by force."

"Okay, the above is just my personal opinion. Whether you listen or not is up to you. After all, I am a dead man now, so there is no need to say too much."

"Finally, congratulations on becoming the fourth generation, Lei Luo."

"The third generation of Naruto Sarutobi Hiruza. Handwritten."

After reading the last sentence left by Hiruza Sarutobi, Lei Luo slowly put the letter paper in his hand on the table, and fell into a long silence for a moment, and the thoughts in his mind were churning.

Noticing that Lei Luo's expression was not quite right, none of Dashemaru and the others spoke, but Nonoyu who was beside Lei Luo...

Seeing this situation, a look of deep concern appeared on her face, she moved her upper body closer, stretched out a pair of slender hands to press Lei Luo's shoulders, and said softly:
"Lei Luo, three generations of him..."

He closed his eyes and bowed his head to think for a while, feeling the soft touch from his shoulders, Lei Luo opened his eyes slightly, suppressed the increasingly complicated emotions, and said as calmly as possible:
"Three generations of Hokage... I don't know how to evaluate him."

"In short, I will leave a way out for his descendants. As for him..."

Looking up at the three Orochimaru on the left and right sides, and seeing that they were all staring at him seriously, Lei Luo took a deep breath and continued:

"After checking his current physical condition, I will place him in the Sarutobi clan, and the members of the Sarutobi clan will raise him to spend his old age peacefully."

Hearing the result of Lei Luo's handling of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru and Jiraiya also nodded silently, only Tsunade, after carefully observing Lei Luo's expression, couldn't help the doubts in her heart, and asked:
"Lei Luo, what happened to Sarutobi-sensei? Is he still saved? You are now the fourth generation of Hokage. Can't you tell us the truth?"

Lei Luo naturally didn't want to tell the truth at all, but Tsunade has also expressed his position now, and he can barely be regarded as his subordinate, so he still decided to reveal a little something to the other party:

"Whether Hiruzaru Sarutobi can be saved or not depends on whether I can secure my seat as Hokage. That's all I want to say, Tsunade...I advise you not to make it difficult for me."
