Chapter 567 The Warning of Sarutobi Hiruzam

In the Hokage Tower, Hiruzaru Sarutobi waved away the Anbe ninja who came to report, and turned to look at Tsunade who had stopped writing.

"Where is the hesitation?" He said and looked at the scroll where the pen had stopped.

"No." Tsunade got up and stretched, turned around and walked away from the desk, went to the window to look out, seemed to be looking for something, and said casually: "I just feel that there are so many documents anyway, so first It’s not too late to deal with the business.”

"You just want to be lazy?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi rolled his eyes, but at the same time he was still a little curious.

As a teacher who has watched Tsunade grow up, he can naturally notice the strangeness of Tsunade recently, especially when Matsuzaki Natsuki is mentioned, there is a subtle emotional change that he can't understand.

At this time, Tsunade, who was looking through the window, suddenly had a bright light in his eyes, and the person she was watching also noticed the sense of gaze. At this moment, he stopped on the roof of a two-story shop, waved his hand with a smile, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong , and continued to rush towards the direction of Hokage Tower.

Walking through the circular corridor and coming to the door of Hokage's office, Xia Shu raised his hand and was about to knock, when the door was opened from the inside.

A smiling face appeared behind the door. Even without saying a word, the squinting smile that fell into the depths of the eyes is already touching.

"Mr. Tsunade." Xia Shu was startled for a moment, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he squinted and smiled as he looked at him.

"Come in first, Natsuki." Hiruzaru Sarutobi had already sat on Hokage's seat and was processing the documents. At this moment, he stopped and got up and smiled, "Have you been to the roots?"

"I just came from there." Xia Shu walked in, closed the door casually, and smiled in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Three generations of Hokage-sama are indeed old and strong, and the root side has basically accepted it, at least there is no problem on the surface. .”

"That's only on the surface." Hiruzaru Sarutobi lit the pipe again, took a puff and exhaled a lingering smoke, and said sadly, "Based on what I know about Danzo, he must have done it in advance." Something, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to let go of the roots easily."

Xia Shu smiled when he heard the words, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Hokage-sama, I have already prepared a solution for this situation, but..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at him with interest, puffed on his pipe, but didn't rush.

"But what?" Tsunade seemed very dissatisfied with the sudden punctuation, and pretended to come up and knock on Xia Shu's head, crossed his waist and frowned and said: "Half-talking, it's purely for beating!"

"Please allow me to pass the test, Tsunade-sensei." Xia Shu rubbed his head pretending to be in pain, and said with a smile.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's eyes moved back and forth between his disciple and grandson. Although he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, there must be something wrong with these two guys!

"It's okay, Natsuki." Hiruzaru Sarutobi quickly calmed down, and waved his hand with a kind smile on his face: "Danzo's idea of ​​maintaining independence at its root, I think it does make sense after thinking about it, maybe in the future When a certain Konoha village encounters an unprecedented devastating disaster, the root will become the last force for the revival of the Konoha village, so it is a good choice for the root and Hokage to stay close."

These plain and even slightly comforting words reached Xia Shu's ears, but he figured out a hint of warning from them.

However, he still didn't change his face, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Sir, for your understanding. After I have solved all the root problems, I will regularly send a report to Hokage Studio to report on the recent movements of Root."

"That's not necessary." Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a deep look at the young man, and didn't notice anything wrong, so he shook his head and said, "If you do that, I'm afraid the first person to get the report is not Hokage, but Danzo. guy."

"That's right, Danzo's insidious old guy has been running the root for many years, even if you are in it, you will definitely not be able to understand all the things, so it's better to be safe." Tsunade also echoed and persuaded.

"Okay." Xia Shu glanced at Tsunade, nodded helplessly, and said, "However, there are always opportunities to pass on information. I will personally find an opportunity to report the general situation to Lord Hokage."

"Hehe! There will definitely be a chance." Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled as he looked at the two of them stroked their beards, his wrinkled face was full of kindness.

Suddenly, he understood!

"Then I'll retreat first, after all, it's not too late." Xia Shu saluted respectfully, and before leaving, he gave Tsunade a comforting look, causing the latter to close his slightly parted soft lips.

The door of Hokage's office was closed, Tsunade retracted his gaze, turned his head and met the eyes of the smiling Sarutobi Hiruzani, and subconsciously felt a guilty conscience of being seen through.

"It's okay, it's okay." Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled and shook his head kindly like an old father, and said with a smile: "I will leave the matter over there to Natsuki, now you have no excuses, right? Want to become a Qualified Hokage, you still have a lot to learn, let's take it step by step."

"Oh!~" Hearing this, Tsunade's originally good mood suddenly fell to the bottom as if blown by frost and wind.

Just as Tsunade fell back into the shadow of the file mountain, Natsuki had already returned to the root base.

On the spacious training ground, there was only one figure at the moment, waiting for him quietly.

His appearance is mediocre, and he looks a little reserved. He is Ren, one of the only three remaining members of the Ten Heavenly Gan who are worried about his own fate, and he is also the manager of most affairs of the root base.

"Master Xia Shu, welcome back." Seeing Xia Shu walk into the practice field, Ren immediately greeted him.

"Yeah." Xia Shu nodded, and said without stopping, "Come with me."

Although Danzo was forced to retreat by Hiruza Sarutobi, there are still many tentacles at the root. At this moment, only by cutting the mess quickly, readjusting and disrupting the root, can he gradually subdue it, and finally completely take over the rights of the root.

Among the roots, only Ren's position can provide him with such convenience.

In a room lit only by dim candlelight, Xia Shu held an oil lamp in his hand, casually took a scroll from the shelf, and illuminated the contents of the scroll with candlelight.

"All the good things have been taken away." Xia Shu shook his head. Although he had expected it, he was still a little disappointed at this time.

But now that he has become the nominal controller of the roots, he will gradually subdue the power of the roots in the future, so those things that were passed by by mistake will eventually be taken back.

Ren lowered his head, pretending that he didn't see or hear what was going on in front of him, and secretly thought that Matsuzaki Natsuki really had the idea of ​​betraying Danzo.
