after dinner.
Together with Uchiha Tunan, everyone chatted with the grandparents in the Sunset Building to relieve their boredom.
Of course, Uchiha Tunan wouldn't let them come often.
Every now and then, he would ask Hiruzen Sarutobi to let the children from the Ninja School come over to do charity activities.
After all, they were just tools used by Uchiha Tunan to please the old people.
If they often appear in front of the elderly, I am afraid it will affect their recognition.
Even if these old people have no strength or skills.
But it doesn’t matter, everyone has value, young or old.
It's a good time to grow old. When Uchiha Tunan has free time, he will teach these old people things like music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Give them something to do.
For them, there is nothing to do every day anyway, they might as well play chess or something like that.
Although these skills cannot enhance Uchiha Tunan's strength, they are better than nothing.
Until the time was almost up, these old people fell asleep one by one under Uchiha Tunan's caring greetings.
Minato and his team just left the orphanage.
He returned to the room alone and came to the table to make himself a pot of tea.
He looked at the shadow clone who was still holding Xiao Yanbu and walking back and forth in the room.
Uchiha Tunan rubbed his temples slightly annoyed.
It is estimated that if this orphanage is to be used, it will have to wait until the war begins.
Before that, we need to help the ape father to suppress the situation in Konoha.
As long as the ape father gains power, the Konoha Orphanage can be disbanded before the war begins.
Another problem is the ninja clan.
Now is the time of peace. These ninja families have great businesses and there is no problem in raising a few orphans and elderly people.
But looking at the policies implemented by Naraku, Konoha's economy will collapse sooner or later, as long as the war breaks out and the number of orphans and elderly people increases.
Those ninjas might not be able to handle it.
Hmm...Everything here still needs careful planning.
The welfare of the welfare home must be good, and this good must be seen and publicized by everyone.
Especially the training of children.
If a few geniuses come out of your own orphanage...
The Ninja clan may still have concerns, after all, they are a family.
Therefore, the orphanage is only responsible for raising the child. When the age reaches the age, the ninja can take the child back.
But if you don't pay, it will make people suspicious. After all, those in power in the ninja clan know this truth.
Nothing is free in this world.
Um......
But asking them to pay is probably not going to work.
Suddenly, a word flashed in Uchiha Tunan's mind.
Spend ahead of time.
The welfare home can promise to wait until the children are trained to become ninjas.
The children's future rewards for performing tasks need to be returned to the welfare home in a certain proportion.
Until the amount reaches a certain level, the two have nothing to do with each other.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Tunan slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
The next day.
It snowed again in the middle of the night last night.
The heavy snow fell more than half a foot thick, and the sky and earth were covered in mist.
After Uchiha Tunan gave Xiao Yanbu morning milk, he separated into two shadow clones.
One shadow clone takes care of Xiao Yanbu, and the other shadow clone is responsible for taking care of the dozen elderly people in the welfare home.
The main body put on a white windbreaker and left the room.
In the house closest to the courtyard gate, Matt Day and Kai have already moved in.
The two of them began to plow the snow with their hands in the yard early in the morning.
"Kai! Burning youth is not afraid of the cold."
Uchiha Tunan glanced at them from a distance, without disturbing them, and quietly left the orphanage in the snow.
Hokage Building.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn.
Danzo sat directly opposite Sarutobi Hiruzen, tapped his fingers on the table and said:
“Hiruzen, this is the daimyo’s request.
You can also see that the economy of the Fire Country is growing rapidly under the leadership of the Daimyo.
Therefore, this time the Five Great Nations Honor Chunin Tournament must be paid enough attention to. "
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette and frowned: "Then we can't let Tunan go. It's not like you don't know those things."
Danzo leaned forward slightly and said with an aggressive expression: "Hiruzen, you are the Hokage, you should give priority to the village.
The daimyo asked Uchiha Tunan to participate by name.
His strength, identity, and reputation in the Fire City.
No matter from any aspect, he is the best candidate. "
Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed out a puff of smoke, looked directly at Danzo, and said with a trace of anger on his face:
"Anyone can be replaced, except Tunan.
Shinnosuke and Asuma are both dead, why should my disciples take risks? "
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Mito Katoyan whispered harmoniously:
"Hiruzen, the incident with Shinnosuke is over.
It can only be said that he was involved in that whirlpool.
became a victim of political struggle.
As for Asuma, the Daimyo has already made a statement.
It has nothing to do with him.
It is estimated that spies from the enemy village are adding fuel to the fire. You must not fall into the enemy's scheme. "
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Mito Kadoyan, then looked at Danzo, and shouted angrily:
"Duanzo, don't force me, I am so indulgent to you because we are companions.
Do you think I don’t know that you and the daimyo often communicate secretly?
Do you think I don’t know that you have received huge funding? "
Danzo seemed to have been greatly wronged when he heard this, and said with disbelief:
"Hiruzhan, how could you slander me like this.
Everything I do is for Konoha.
Since you don't agree, let's vote. "
Mito Menyan hesitated for a moment, coughed slightly and said:
“Hiruzen, the daimyo has succeeded to the throne now.
And judging from his attitude, he was not willing to go against Konoha.
Even the financial support for Konoha has increased a lot during this time.
The other side is already showing goodwill, and we should look forward.
We know you can't let go of Tunan.
But you don’t want to think about why the daimyo has any reason to be unfavorable to Tunan. "
Watching Danzo and Mito Kadoyan play a good role and a bad role.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned completely dark, and he said in a bad tone:
"What you said implicitly means that you support Danzo.
Xiaochun, what about you? "
After turning to bed, Koharu secretly glanced at Danzo who was confident, not daring to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and whispered: "I remain neutral."
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his hand holding the cigarette rod tightened instantly.
at this time.
"Clang, clang, clang."
There was a knock on the conference room door.
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked coldly: "Who."
But I heard the response from the confidant ANBU outside:
"Lord Hokage, it's Lord Orochimaru here."
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, then thought of something, and said loudly: "Let him in."
Orochimaru, wearing a ninja vest, walked into the conference room with a faint smile on his face.
His eyes inadvertently swept over the people in the conference room, then fixed on Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said with a smile:
"Teacher, it seems that I came at the wrong time."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a warm face: "No, you came at the right time."
After speaking, he said calmly to Danzo and others:
"As for what happened just now, I think Orochimaru is fully qualified to count.
After all, Orochimaru's achievements lie there, what do you think? "
Before Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who had moved to another dormitory, could speak, Danzo was the first to agree:
"I have no objection. I think Orochimaru is fully qualified to participate in high-level decisions regardless of his qualifications and strength."
Danzo's willingness to agree made the originally confident Sarutobi Hiruzen flash a trace of doubt.
But he still started to explain to Orochimaru:
"Orochimaru, this is what happened.
The daimyo is preparing to hold an honorary chunin tournament among the five major nations in the City of Fire to demonstrate their national strength.
And asked Tunan to represent the Fire Nation by name.
I feel that Tunan's current strength and experience are not mature enough and he is not a suitable candidate.
I don't know what your opinion is. "
Orochimaru didn't show any surprise when he heard this, he thought for a moment and said:
"Tunan... I think that as your teacher's disciple, Tunan is the number one new talent in Konoha.
No one is more suitable than Tunan. "
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed and he continued to prompt:
“Orochimaru, you may not be familiar with Tunan.
Although he is a genius, genius also needs enough time to grow. "
Unexpectedly, Orochimaru completely ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen's secret glance and said leisurely:
"Tunan, as your disciple, teacher, I believe he is fully capable of this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally understood.
Orochimaru and Danzo have been together for a long time, and he is not here to save himself this time.
But it adds weight to Danzo.
This is a naked betrayal, and the betrayer is the disciple he has always relied on!
At this time, Danzo tapped his fingers on the table a few times and said with a victor's attitude:
"Hiruzen and Orochimaru have agreed, so don't stop it.
We all consider it from the perspective of the village, and Uchiha Tunan is indeed the best candidate. "
Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking straight at Orochimaru at this time, his face was as gloomy as water, he nodded slightly and said:
"very good.
Orochimaru, you have grown so much during this time that I can’t even understand you. "
Orochimaru's eyelids twitched, and then he said innocently: "Teacher, I don't understand what you are talking about.
I think about it from an objective perspective. If you think what I say is wrong, you don’t need to adopt it. "
Sarutobi Hiruzen withdrew his gaze, stared at the table, took a puff of cigarette, and remained silent for a long time.
After a few breaths passed, Sarutobi Hiruzen calmed down and said quietly: "I think we need to ask the parties involved for their opinions on this matter."
Danzo immediately slapped the table and stood up, shouting angrily: "Hiruzhan, you've really had enough.
Uchiha Tunan is the ninja of the village first, and your disciple second.
This exam is a task assigned to represent the village.
Could it be that he just said he didn't want to go and just let it go?
Then what do you want us old guys to do? Why don't we all stop managing the village and let them do whatever they want. "
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, the smoke immediately spurted out from his nostrils, and then gently placed the cigarette rod on the table.
He also stood up leisurely, looked directly at Danzo directly opposite, and said word by word:
"Shimura Danzo, is this your attitude towards Hokage?"
The two stared at each other for several seconds. Danzo was finally defeated, sat down on the chair, lowered his eyes and said:
"The village needs justice. If someone wants to do it for personal gain, I, Danzo, will be the first to refuse.
The will of fire in my heart does not allow me to turn a blind eye. "
In his words, his justice was awe-inspiring and impeccable.
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that if he continued to say this, he would only suffer the consequences.
How dare Danzo do this to him before.
It was because after this new daimyo took office, every time he gave funds to the village, he would secretly give Danzo a larger amount of funds.
However, prices have skyrocketed, and many times, for the development of the village, I have to lower my head and ask Danzo for money.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt like he was being left out.
It seems that most of the power that I have always had in my hands has passed away unconsciously.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down, leaned back on the chair, sighed and said:
"Okay, now that you've decided.
Then let Tunan attend when the time comes.
It's all gone. "
After saying that, Danzo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took the lead and stood up to leave.
Orochimaru and Mito Katoyan followed him from left to right.
Only Xiaochun stood up after going to bed and stopped talking:
"Hiruzhan..."
However, before the words were spoken, Danzo turned around and gave Koharu a cold look.
After going to bed, Xiaochun immediately choked up her words, lowered her head and left.
