In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

Asma has feelings for you, so I'm being biased and giving you the fewest, safest, and most rewarding tasks.

They actually think it's too much? That's outrageous!

What's most infuriating is that I heard you rejected Asuma repeatedly, causing him to be depressed for a long time, and then you blamed me, the old man.

Forget it, I really don't want to get involved in the affairs of the younger generation.

Anyway, now that they have a grandson, Konohamaru is growing up healthily and has started studying at the Ninja Academy.

The most important thing now is to figure out how to deal with this Flame Beast.

Most of the surrounding businesses are owned by the family.

"It's alright, Xia Mu is still young. Konoha is your home, and we'll have to rely on you to protect it in the future."

Hiruzen Sarutobi swept away his gloom, his expression instantly changing to one of kindness and amiability.

"Now it's up to us to protect Konoha."

Xia Mu stared at the magical beast in the distance and replied seemingly casually.

Hiruzen almost fell off the roof on the spot.

When I traded your Thunderclap Ninjutsu before, I already noticed how sharp-tongued you were. I didn't expect that after all these years, you'd be even more infuriating.

"Oh right, tell everyone to prepare fire-style attacks to burst this monster apart."

Xia Mu turned his head and urged.

"Um, let's wait and see. Choji's Giant of Light has arrived. Things might change."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no words to express his suffering.

If we really use fire-style techniques to burst it open, wouldn't that destroy even more shops?

Anyway, Choji's transformed Giant of Light has arrived, let's see how things go first.

Just by seeing the giant of light appear and crush two shops, it became clear that those two shops were actually his properties.

This caused the Third Hokage's face to twitch, clearly in pain.

And that girl who can use golden ripples to throw weapons, isn't that the move of the Golden Pikachu?

It seems that Konoha is gradually slipping out of my control again, with all sorts of monsters and demons emerging.

However, this generation of young people is indeed very competitive.

At such a young age, he has taken on the heavy responsibility of protecting Konoha, which has made things much easier for this old man like me.

Fortunately, I didn't live in the same era as these people, otherwise I would never have stood out.

Just as I was thinking this, a fireball came hurtling towards me.

Xia Mu and the others, who had been keeping a close eye on the monster, immediately leaped away.

The two ANBU members nearby quickly deployed Earth Release: Earth Wall to protect the Hokage.

Unfortunately, it couldn't stop the Flame Beast's fireballs.

After a tremendous roar, the defenses were breached.

With a heavy heart, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only retreat rapidly to avoid the center of the explosion.

But they couldn't escape the surging heat and black dust.

In an instant, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and his beard was burned away...

086: Hokage, give it your all! Its limbs are already buried in the ground!

Hiruzen Sarutobi wiped his face, his hands covered in black ash.

My chin felt a burning pain.

When I touched it, I realized that my beard was gone.

Tears welled up in my eyes. My old friend, in the end, I still couldn't keep you here.

He looked so disheveled; it was truly an insult to the image of the Hokage.

"Lord Hokage, are you alright?"

The Kurenai Squad shot over again.

Just now, when danger came, they ran as fast as they could and were the first to get out of there.

Now that the danger has passed, they are the first to come over and offer their concern and care.

They portrayed the superficial aspects of human relationships with remarkable skill.

Their skin is as thick as a city wall.

Who taught them?

And why did you take out your camera to take pictures, classmate?

Why is there a camera hidden in your sealed scroll at such a young age? That thing is very valuable.

He saw the Third Hokage's sharp gaze fall upon him.

Xia Mu showed no intention of putting the camera away, and said solemnly:

"Lord Hokage, I want to capture your heroic act of stopping the Flame Beast, saving us from harm and preventing Konoha from being destroyed, and send it back to the Ninja Academy."

"Let future generations always remember that we had such a kind and respectable Hokage."

It turns out it was so that future generations would remember my heroic deeds.

Ok.

If everyone in Konoha had this mindset, there would be no worry that the Will of Fire wouldn't spread throughout the entire ninja world.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, his gaze softening instantly.

"Ahem! As the Hokage, isn't it your duty to protect the villagers and Konoha?"

The Third Hokage stood against the wind, his robes fluttering.

He has a somewhat otherworldly and ethereal air about him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Flame Beast being slammed to the ground once again by the Giant of Light, with numerous Dark Guards using Earth Release techniques to suppress it.

The battle is going well.

He nodded in agreement; taking a little time shouldn't be a problem.

As people get old, most things become less important. But reputation is essential, especially a good reputation that will be remembered for generations to come.

The next moment, the tone changed:

"However, in order to serve as a warning to future generations, it would be appropriate to leave some footage."

"Um, let me tidy up my clothes first."

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi straightened his disheveled clothes and casually tried to wipe the black ash off his face.

"and many more!"

"This is the image! Maintaining this image is the most authentic side."

"The Hokage is so old, yet he still went to such lengths for Konoha."

"Think about it, how dare the kids still at the Ninja Academy not strive for excellence, let alone slack off and be lazy?"

"What an inspiring scene this must be for children to strive for, don't you think? Piggy Beast."

After finishing speaking, Natsuki kicked Kiba Inuzuka, who was standing next to him.

"Yes...yes. With the Hokage as their role model, the children will definitely strive to do their best."

Kiba Inuzuka replied, dumbfounded.

The next moment, as if realizing something, he loudly argued:

"Ahhh, I'm not called PigBeast."

"Then what's your name?"

"My name is the Beast Tamer of Judgment!"

"Woof!!!"

"I see. That's a good reputation."

"Pfft~~"

Kurenai, who was standing next to her, couldn't take it anymore and burst out laughing while clutching her stomach.

Finally, just as the Hokage was about to lose his temper, he managed to leave behind a photograph...

Just then, the seemingly invincible Flame Beast finally knocked the Giant of Light, on whom they had placed such high hopes, to the ground, its chest glowing red.

Dante's transformation into the Giant of Light still needs improvement. Even when he glows red, he doesn't unleash his ultimate attack.

"Lord Hokage, there's no time to lose."

"I suggest we use our method again, and use fire jutsu to kill this Flame Beast."
