Chapter 169 The time of death

Time passed day by day, and as Hinata Yuuto's magic technique was nearly completed, the good news from the front line also spread back to the village like snowflakes.

—The three kingdoms of fire, earth, and wind swore not to invade each other and formed an alliance under the sculpture of the Immortal of Six Paths.

 There is no more fighting on the western front of Konoha.

 In the ninja world, apart from Iwagakure, Kirigakure and Kumogakure, who are still fighting in the eastern region, the rest of the places have gradually returned to peace.

 Konoha sent some teams to defend Kirigakure and Kumogakure, while the remaining ninjas returned to the village one after another, and Namikaze Minato would also return from the front line.

  Everyone saw the happy days that were about to come...except Hinata Yuuto.

 “Hu…hu…”

In the back mountain of the Senju Clan, Hyuga Yuuto bit down on a tree trunk. His strong chewing muscles and teeth crushed the tree fibers and squeezed out the green juice. He worked so hard that his gums began to ooze blood, which was terrifying.

Extreme pain erupted from the depths of his right eye, spreading from the nerves to every part of the body, as if sulfuric acid ants were biting under the skin. This pain even made Hyuga Yuuto, who had experienced many battles, go crazy with pain and kept beating his head. , I wish I could pluck out my right eye right now.

 Slowly, the erosion ends and the pain subsides.

His body was covered in scars and dripping with blood. The erosion of the caged bird only affected the foreign right eye. These shocking wounds were all scratched out by Hinata Yuuto himself.

 Although creating and regenerating consumes a lot of vitality, and the longer it is used, the life span will be reduced, but for Hyuga Yuuto who theoretically cannot live until the next year, this is already a problem that cannot be smaller.

 To extend life to the maximum extent, you need four more masks if you change to the fifth eye.

He made himself a pot of hot tea and thought about the key problem that was urgently needed - during the next eye replacement surgery, during the time when the eyeballs were removed and transplanted, he had to enter the mask mode to suppress the caged bird. But now, the fake **** in his hand We have run out of noodles.

Hinata Yuuto tilted his neck, bit off the grass next to him, chewed it in his mouth, and came to a cruel conclusion:

Going round and round, what is still missing is the mask of God.

 “I won’t live until...the end of next year.”

 “I still have eighteen months.”

Now that the war is about to end, the method of obtaining so many corpses of his own race will probably still fall on Hinata and Hinashi.

"But the key point is...Miko's body has been blown to pieces." Hinata Yuuto rubbed his temples and drank the tea in one gulp.

 Five looks from the clan can only delay it until that time.

In order to prevent others from seeing it, he also started creation and regeneration again, and after healing his body, he returned to the big house of the Thousand Hands Clan.

Hinata Yuuto lay down for a long time. Only when he regained his strength did he put on his forehead protector and got up to tidy up.

 He took off his forehead protector and stroked the caged bird on his skin. Fifteen years later, the fangs of death finally approached the young man.

“In other words, one Zongjia White Eye can extend my life by four months.”

“The invasion and erosion occurs once every sixty days, but compared with the last time, this time it is much more serious... I will definitely not be able to bear it next time, and I must change my eyes.”

Hinata Yuuto lay on the ground like a dead dog, feeling like he had been skinned and decapitated.

 At this moment, an ANBU suddenly appeared in the yard.

His blood was everywhere in the area. Hinata Yuuto patiently collected all the things stained with his blood, burned them with detonating symbols, and then used the lion's teeth to destroy everything around him and erase all traces.

 “Sir Yuuto, Hokage-sama invites you.”

It is absolutely impossible to resist the caged bird by creating regeneration. The severe pain caused by the curse seal will deform the movement. The eye replacement surgery requires delicate operation, and it is crucial to keep the hand steady.

 “Okay.” Hinata Yuuto nodded and left with the ANBU.

In the office of the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen was carefully repairing a pipe with tools - he smashed it in anger more than ten days ago, but he was so distressed that he tinkered with it when he had time. According to Tsunade, the pipe was The token of love given to the teacher by his wife, Biwako, is a treasure passed down from the Warring States Period, and it has extraordinary significance.

“Yuuto, sit down, how have you been lately?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Hinata Yuuto coming in, put away his pipe, and started talking as usual.

Hinata Yuuto cheered up. He had spoken to the Third Hokage many times. He knew that the old man had a habit of talking about important issues "from small to large". The first sentence asked you if you had eaten, and the last sentence I want you to kill someone else's whole family.

"Very good, Hokage-sama, what are your orders?"

"Have you, the patriarch of your family, done anything unusual recently?" "No." Hinata Yuuto thought for a while and added:

“Ever since that secret meeting with Miss Meiko, I haven’t acted with the clan leader again.”

"Well, continue to monitor. I still trust Rizu. He is not someone who makes fun of the safety of the clan."

 “As you command, Hokage-sama.”

 After a brief silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly spoke:

"Minato will return to the village tomorrow. At that time, I will hand over power to him one after another. After one month, he will officially retire. Minato will become the fourth generation Hokage."

 “Oh, really, it’s finally this time again.” The old Hokage smiled:

"The last time the Hokage changed, it was... twenty-five years ago."

"You young people must have never seen that scene. Daimyos from the Fire Country will also come, and other ninja villages will send famous ninjas to visit. Small characters are not allowed to do this. They are deliberately looking for trouble and breaking the rules."

"Have you been to the Fire Festival in the Land of Wind? Did you think it was very lively? Hey, Yuuto, let me tell you, compared to our succession ceremony in Konoha, the Fire Festival is nothing! A bunch of people eating sand in the desert Guy, I’ve never seen real prosperity at all!”

"When I handed the robe of the **** to Minato, all the big trees in the village would bloom with flowers. This was not a wood escape, but an ancient trick that had been passed down for hundreds of years. The most outstanding craftsmen in the world would spend half a year on it. Carving the head of the new Hokage is just a selection process for craftsmen, and they have to line up from here to the village gate..."

“Abalone shark meat from the Kingdom of the Sea, color-changing gems from the Kingdom of Ghosts, humanoid herbs from the Kingdom of Waves, red soil from the Kingdom of Whirlpools, advanced machinery from the Kingdom of Sky…”

 The old man became happier and happier as he talked. He couldn't help but dance and seemed to have turned into a child showing off his toys.

Hinata Yuuto did not interrupt him, but responded with a smile and listened to the old man's description of the glory that belonged to Konoha.

The sun shone on the Hokage's face, and his rough skin was full of wrinkles. Against the backdrop of the white hair, he looked like the trunk of an old tree. The large robe of the **** was worn on his body, but it seemed a bit empty.

 —He is really old.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke for a long time, and finally, for some reason, he suddenly stopped and silently stared at the Hokage Rock in the distance:

"Konoha was like that when the second generation handed the village over to me. I have been in power for twenty-five years, Yuuto, do you think...am I worthy of his trust?"

Hyuuga Yuuto did not answer. He knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen was not really asking himself.

 “Yuuto.” The old Hokage came back to his senses:

“Although we in Konoha look great, the crisis has never disappeared. The mysterious man who teamed up with Jiraiya to attack Amegakure that night, and the moon **** Hinata Shinji, each of them are guys who can subvert the village.”

"I'm old and may not have a few more years to live. Koharu, En, and Danzo are no longer young. What happened to Sakumo, Orochimaru left, Jiraiya lost his legs, and Tsunade's fear of blood The disease has never been cured... In the end, we old guys have not left a valuable asset to the fourth generation."

 “But fortunately, there is still you.”

“You have followed Minato from birth to death for two years. We trust each other, and your talents and abilities are all chosen for the time being. With you assisting Minato, the village will become better.”

 "Yuuto...go to ANBU."

 “You will first serve as the captain of the first detachment.”

 “When Minato succeeds to the throne in one month, you will become the first ANBU minister in the history of Konoha!”

"Originally, the Assassination Tactics Special Forces only had squad leaders, but today is different from the past. Minato believes that establishing the position of minister can greatly relieve the pressure on the shadow, and can stop the shadow in time when he makes a mistake, which is good for the village. matter."

 “Minato really trusts you, Yuuto.”

Hinata Yuto was silent, he really didn’t know how to answer, so he just bowed.

 “Don’t be nervous, Yuuto, you have that ability.” Sarutobi Hiruzen comforted:

“Actually, when Minato told me about this in his letter, I didn’t agree at first.”

"But then I thought about it, this world will eventually be handed over to you young people, and old guys like me don't want to stand in your way, so I decided to push this matter through against all the opinions, which can be regarded as a tribute to Minato. It’s a gift for succession, hahaha…”

 In the warm and bright Hokage's office, the laughing old ninja and the silent young genius sit and stand, the old and the new alternate in perfect harmony.

 “Let Hyuga Yuuto become the first ANBU minister in the history of Konoha.”

 This was almost the decision that Hiruzen Sarutobi regretted the most in his life.
