In Konoha, your attributes double every day!

Kakashi hesitated.

"Difficult?" Han Guang asked with a surprised look.

Kakashi actually hesitated over such a trivial matter?

"There's one thing: if it's just me going, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to capture Asuma," Kakashi said truthfully.

After all, Asuma was hiding in the Sarutobi clan's territory. And the Sarutobi clan had the largest number of members in the village.

"I see~~"

Han Guang touched his chin.

He picked up a pen, wrote a scroll, and tossed it over.

Kakashi opened the scroll and scanned its contents.

Then, Kakashi was dumbfounded.

"this?"

"What? Isn't that reason enough?" Han Guang said with a smile.

"enough!"

Kakashi nodded hastily, grabbed the scroll, and disappeared.

at the same time.

The Sarutobi family's residence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the pavilion.

Across from them, Koharu Tsutomu and Yanagi were trying to persuade her.

"Hiruzen, a new generation replaces the old. Now that you've stepped down, don't have any other ideas."

[Requesting flowers][Requesting ratings][Requesting monthly tickets] B.

Chapter 170 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Regret! His Cold Light Clone Annihilates Sand Ninja!

Inside the pavilion.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Tomon are trying to persuade Hiruzen.

"Hiruzen, now that you've retired, just enjoy life."

"Yes, Hiruzen, it's not necessarily a bad thing that the village has Hanguang in power."

After being persuaded by the two advisors, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head and frowned.

If it were anyone else advising him, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't be surprised, but it was these two people who did it.

"You accepted bribes from Han Guang?"

"How could that be?" Xiaochun and Menyan shook their heads in unison.

"That's not like you guys at all," Hiruzen Sarutobi sneered.

"Oh, you!"

Humen Yan sighed.

He glanced around and lowered his voice: "We've secretly investigated Han Guang, and his growth rate is simply unprecedented!"

“Of course I know,” Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice.

“What I mean is, Han Guang must have a huge secret.” Hu Menyan’s voice was very soft.

"Nonsense! Even a fool would know he has a secret." Hiruzen Sarutobi cursed.

At the age of twelve, he overpowered all the Kage of the five great ninja villages. With such abnormal strength, is there even a need for investigation?

The problem is, who can suppress the cold light now?

It's almost impossible to uncover his secrets now.

"Do you know that I almost killed him?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said coldly, filled with remorse.

“But he’s still alive.” Men Yan and Xiao Chun were speechless.

It almost got nipped in the bud?

What's the point of this?

"It's all my fault for being too kind. If I had let the Dark Guard kill him back then, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi harbored deep hatred.

At this point, he slammed his hand on the stone table.

boom!

He smashed one corner of the stone table to pieces.

Looking back now, Hiruzen Sarutobi wishes he could slap his past self a few times!

He once personally wrote Han Guang into textbooks.

Afterwards, Han Guang returned. At that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had planned for Han Guang to die in the mission, leaving behind an inspiring story.

But after each mission, this kid never seemed to get into any trouble.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gradually abandoned this idea and instead tried to win him over.

Who would have thought that, while they were pulling each other along, this bastard would end up pushing himself down?

"Hiruzen, stop thinking about this. You're already doing really well," Koharu Utatane advised.

“Yes, just think about what happened to Danzo!” Homura Tomon chimed in.

Upon hearing the name 'Danzo', Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent.

indeed.

Danzo didn't die, but his fate was much worse than mine.

He ran away all alone and sought refuge with the elderly and frail Uchiha Madara.

"By the way, Hiruzen, you'd better cultivate a good relationship with Han Guang in the future. Did you know that the chieftains of each clan have the ability to fly?" Tomono Yan reminded him.

Seeing that Hiruzen remained unmoved, he continued, "Think about it, other clans all have ninjas who can fly, but does your Sarutobi clan have any?"

"I understand." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, his expression still grim.

The ability to fly can create a significant gap between different races.

The simplest example: the opponent can fly freely in the air and evade attacks. This alone puts them in an invincible position.

"Alright, we've said everything we needed to say, so we'll take our leave now."

Men Yan and Xiao Chun stood up, ready to leave.

"you..."

Swoosh, swoosh.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to speak, he saw the two of them leap up and fly away.

"It's numb!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand on the stone table again and couldn't help but curse once more.

Thump, thump, thump.

At that moment, Sarutobi Yakumaru ran over.

"Chief, a secret message."

"Ok?"

Upon receiving the secret letter, Hiruzen Sarutobi unfolded it.

"Danzo again?"

Upon seeing the familiar handwriting, he quickly scanned it.

Hiruzen, you did a great job.

I heard you contacted the Kage of the four great ninja villages to discuss peace talks.

I know your personality; you must have other motives.

[It's to deal with Han Guang, right?]

You must kill him! I believe you can do it!

If I defeat Han Guang, I will return to the village to continue serving you. This place is truly no human being.

If you fail, then just come and join Ban. I can sense that Ban's days are numbered.

Madara seems to be using me for experiments lately. Hiruzen, I might be going to die.

[By the way, I still have some money in my Root's secret chamber. Send someone to deliver it to the Hidden Bath in the Land of Hot Springs.]
