The next morning, early.
Refreshed, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on his Hokage throne again.
However...
Looking at the report that the Anbu's reputation was getting worse and the Police Force was still slacking off, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Truly—difficult!
But for the trust of Teacher Tobirama, he had to persist and shoulder the burden of Konoha.
Although Uchiha Jin was a bit difficult to deal with, he believed that with his ability, he would sooner or later solve the Uchiha threat!
As for now, he would respond to changes with stillness.
Temporarily stabilize the Uchiha and wait for the return of Jiraiya and Tsunade.
At that time...
It would be the time for him to show his grand plans!
Perhaps Tsunade and Jiraiya each had their own problems and didn't listen to his command as a teacher at all, but the problem was that they both loved the village in their hearts, and this was the opportunity he could use to tie them down.
"Sigh, endure it!"
"Let the Uchiha be rampant for a while; only the one who laughs last is the king!"
"Take it slowly."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was faint.
After speaking.
He skillfully lit the fire and picked up his thirteenth new pipe.
There was no helping it!
He had been getting angry too frequently recently, and he had smashed a bunch of pipes.
Thinking about it now? It was completely unnecessary!
So, don't get angry.
If you get sick from anger, no one will replace you!
As a person, you must be calm.
When he thought of this, a faint smile appeared on his face.
What Police Force inaction, Anbu's reputation not as good as before, Danzo's attempt to flip the table failed...
Just smile; he was the "Professor"!
Creak.
Just at this time, Nara Shikaku walked in: "Hokage-sama!"
"What bad thing happened again?" Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly.
In response to this.
Nara Shikaku was a little astonished. Could it be that Hokage-sama had gone crazy with anger and was mentally unstable?
However.
Although he couldn't help but complain in his heart, he still said on the surface: "The Uchiha submitted a resignation letter for Kakashi."
"What?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned.
Although he recognized these words, why did they feel so unfamiliar when put together?
Kakashi—resigned?
And it was a letter submitted by the Uchiha?
Almost in an instant.
He had a bad feeling. He quickly snatched the letter from Nara Shikaku's hand, and then his face instantly turned ashen.
After a long time.
He said coldly: "I know!"
"Okay." Nara Shikaku said immediately: "Then I'll take my leave first!"
After speaking.
Sensing that Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood was wrong, he left the Hokage's office without saying a word.
Yes!
During this period, because of Uchiha Jin, Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood was quite unstable. If it weren't for urgent matters that required him to come to the Hokage's office, Nara Shikaku really didn't want to come!
Since the matter at hand was over, he naturally couldn't be bothered to stay.
In response to this.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not stop him.
After Nara Shikaku left, he angrily smashed the new pipe heavily on the desk.
Bang!
New pipe, RIP!
"Anbu!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke coldly.
Immediately after.
A masked Anbu knelt respectfully on one knee on the ground.
"Hokage-sama!"
"What exactly happened last night? Why did Kakashi suddenly resign? And even let the Uchiha submit the resignation?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't waste any words.
He immediately asked his doubts. After all, he really couldn't figure out why Kakashi would mix with the Uchiha?
Could it be just because of yesterday's rumors?
In response to this.
The Anbu member kneeling on one knee said very respectfully: "Last night, Kakashi failed to assassinate Elder Danzo. Just as he was about to be killed by Elder Danzo, Might Guy came forward to save Kakashi's life, and then the two defected to the Uchiha overnight."
Hiss!
With the Anbu's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen trembled all over instantly.
How could it be?
At this moment, he really couldn't figure it out!
Kakashi was no longer the boy he used to be. Having stayed in the Anbu for so many years, he should have long realized the truth about his father's suicide. His inaction over the years seemed to him that Kakashi had truly let go of his hatred.
This was also the achievement he was most proud of in his life!
Because it proved the success of his Will of Fire, which was why even after Namikaze Minato died, he was still willing to treat Kakashi as a confidant.
To put it bluntly, prestige!
As long as Kakashi stayed by his side, everyone would understand how successful his, Sarutobi Hiruzen's, Will of Fire was.
Why?
Just because of that outrageous rumor, his heart for revenge was reawakened?
Kakashi, Might Guy!
These were among the very few strong people in the village, and now they were given to the Uchiha for no reason?
Pfft!
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen spat out a mouthful of old blood from anger.
"Hokage-sama!"
"I'll take you to the hospital immediately!"
The kneeling Anbu panicked at this time.
He got up in a hurry, his face full of panic.
Good heavens!
If Sarutobi Hiruzen really fainted from anger, he wouldn't be able to explain it even with many mouths.
If others thought he murdered the Hokage, then he would definitely be dead!
In response to this.
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand gently.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
"There's no need to go to the hospital; my body is not that fragile yet."
"Notify everyone immediately to do their best to find Jiraiya and Tsunade, and make sure they come back as soon as possible!"
Yes.
He couldn't faint!
Otherwise, if this matter spread, who knew what chaos the village would fall into.
So.
Even if he was angry now, he had to hold on.
"Yes!"
The Anbu bowed and accepted the order upon hearing this.
Immediately after.
He left the Hokage's office without saying a word, feeling that he had to change his position as soon as possible. He would rather go to the border to fight life and death with enemy villages than stay by Sarutobi Hiruzen's side.
Damn it, too scary!
Just a little bit more!
If Sarutobi Hiruzen really fainted from anger, his fate would definitely be very miserable.
"Damned—Uchiha!"
"And that Kakashi and Might Guy, this old man really misjudged you before."
"Was the Will of Fire fed to the dogs?"
"How could you assassinate Elder Danzo? Even if he really did something wrong back then, you should have generously forgiven Danzo!"
"In a person's life, who hasn't done a few wrong things?"
"As long as corrections are made in time, everyone is for the village; is there anything that can't be discussed properly?"
"And even if you did something wrong, you should have sought me, the Hokage, and let me, the Hokage, help you handle it!"
"How could..."
"How could you defect to the Uchiha?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself.
His face was terribly ashen, and terrifying killing intent condensed around him.
Clearly.
At this moment, he was truly angry.
