Naruto: Evil is easy to commit, making Amegakure great again.

"The Land of Thunder is planning to sign a non-aggression pact with the Land of Rain, and there seems to be a hint that they are about to form an alliance."

"This...this..."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned ugly, and he slumped weakly into his office chair.

His mental state had clearly collapsed.

He instinctively felt a sense of apprehension and worry about the suddenly rising Rain Kingdom.

I feel that if we don't take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the Rain Kingdom and completely destroy it, we won't succeed.

Then what awaits Konoha is a hopeless future with no hope of recovery...

"How could the Land of Thunder...be allied with the Land of Rain?"

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, those brutes from the Land of Lightning should not, logically or emotionally, form an alliance with a small country like the Land of Rain.

This is an insult to their dignity as a great power.

At least, if the same thing happened to Konoha, they would absolutely not form an alliance with the Land of Rain.

It lowers their own status and affects Konoha's prestige among other countries.

"This matter is not settled yet, so there's no need to panic, Hiruzen."

While comforting Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane subtly hinted with her eyes to Homura Mitokado to put in a good word for her.

Don't just stand there in the office like nothing's wrong.

This made both her and Hiruzen Sarutobi quite awkward.

"Cough cough cough!"

Upon receiving a meaningful glance from Koharu Utatane, Homura Mito quickly coughed a few times and, feigning composure, began to comfort Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Tell him not to overcomplicate things.

You're just adding unnecessary stress to yourself.

You're really just scaring yourself.

"Koharu is right, you are indeed a bit too nervous, Hiruzen."

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "?"

When I type a question mark, I'm not saying I have a problem, but rather that you have a problem.

What does it mean to say that I don't need to be so anxious?

What do you mean—I was indeed a little too nervous?

It's important to understand that, given the current state of the ninja world, an alliance between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Rain is not entirely unexpected.

If only those brutes of the Land of Lightning could set aside their pride and arrogance, and be willing to lower their heads slightly to look at the Land of Rain on equal terms.

Therefore, an alliance between these two countries should not be a problem...

"It seems that it is necessary for Konoha to temporarily halt the war with Iwagakure and invite the current Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Onoki, to sit down at the negotiating table for a proper discussion..."

The Land of Lightning plans to form an alliance with the Land of Rain, which has just swept through Sunagakure...

Once this news gets out, the entire ninja world will probably be in an uproar.

This will rewrite the historical landscape of the entire ninja world.

It completely shattered the preconceived notion in the minds of countless people that "a great power is inviolable".

It ignites the ambitions of all small nations and ninja villages in the present era.

This will bring unimaginable disturbances and troubles to the current rule of the four great nations of fire, earth, water, and thunder.

"Hiruzen, have you suffered too many blows in a short period of time, causing your mind to become muddled?"

"Men Yan, shut up!"

Seeing that Mitokado Homura was deliberately bringing up a sore spot, Koharu Utatane, who already harbored some feelings for Hiruzen Sarutobi, immediately rebuked Mitokado Homura for being tactless.

"I...I didn't say anything wrong..."

Mitokado Homura may have a strong personality, but that depends on who she's dealing with.

He can be as tough as he wants with his two old male friends, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.

However, when facing his female "friend" Koharu, who was staying in the same dormitory, his confidence unconsciously weakened a little.

They dared not go against this "tigress" at all.

To avoid attracting any unnecessary trouble.

"Women outside are truly terrifying; my wife at home is much more gentle..."

Mitokado Yan sighed softly.

He shook his head helplessly.

I chose to be a wooden doll in front of Xiaochun, who was switching dorms.

No matter what she said, he remained standing motionless.

He listened silently to the conversation between the other party and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Gradually, I began to sense something was amiss...

"Hiruzen, it's getting cold lately, remember to wear more clothes."

"The situation in the ninja world is currently very volatile and unpredictable. You absolutely cannot bear everything alone. I am here for you."

"I've met your partner; he has a bit of a temper, unlike me who only worries about whether you've been eating and sleeping well lately..."

......

The more Mitokado Emi listened, the more she felt that what Koharu Utatane was saying was too ambiguous and something was wrong.

I could almost smell the fragrance of green tea.

His expression gradually changed from calm to surprise.

Then, it slowly developed into disbelief and a subtle expression.

I always felt that the relationship between these two old friends was a bit too intriguing.

It went a little beyond the scope of "friends".

They reached a relationship that was almost like that of "lovers".

"Xiaochun, what nonsense are you talking about—!?"

Suddenly, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting in his office chair, stood up abruptly.

All the tension and anxiety in my heart disappeared after hearing Koharu's words.

Instead, there was a profound sense of shock and panic.

No matter how dense Hiruzen Sarutobi is, it's not hard to see that Koharu Utatane has feelings for him that go beyond the boundaries of "friendship".

For Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was already married, this was a mix of joy, trepidation, and worry.

What's gratifying is that even though he's married, he's still so charming that he can attract the attention of a beauty like Koharu Utatane!

What troubled and worried him was that once the others in Konoha found out about this, he might be met with a barrage of ridicule, mockery, and sarcasm!

And this is all based on the premise that his old friend Danzo Shimura did not exert any effort.

If the other party adds fuel to the fire at this critical juncture, then what awaits Hiruzen Sarutobi may be utter bullying and humiliation.

At her age, she has no shame and actually had an affair with her colleague...

This is an utter disgrace to his dignity and his lifelong reputation!

That's enough to make him the most disgraceful Hokage in the entire history of Konoha!

The kind that's blatantly written into textbooks!

"I'm a married man—!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought his words would dissuade Koharu Utatane.

To his utter surprise, Koharu in the dorm became even more agitated after hearing him say that!

They kept calling him "Hiruzen".

Even Mitokado Haru, who was standing aside and listening intently, couldn't bear to watch any longer.

He immediately stepped forward and shouted at Xiaochun, who was turning over to the dormitory.

"Haru, stop talking nonsense! Hiruzen is already married. There's no possibility between you two!"

As a mutual friend and comrade-in-arms, Mitokado Homura believed that standing up at this critical juncture was no less important than Senju Hashirama joining forces with Uchiha Madara to establish Konoha Village.

He exudes an aura of righteousness from the inside out.

Completely ignoring Nara Shikaku, who had just pushed open the door to report the latest battle situation.

Without the slightest hesitation, she angrily denounced the twisted relationship between Koharu Utatane and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Nara Shikaku was so shocked that he stood there dumbfounded.

He remained silent for a long time...
