Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

He stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi, trying to discern something from the latter's face.

All I could see was a face full of wrinkles.

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "What, you don't believe me?"

Shenyue Xingyun spoke frankly: "A little."

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Whether you believe it or not is not important."

"Actually, I didn't prepare anything. It's just a divine robe. I should have some in the warehouse. I can modify it to fit."

"Just remember to come the day after tomorrow."

The Divine Moon Nebula fell silent.

A series of thoughts flashed through my mind.

Conspiracy?

Assassination?

gossip?

They don't seem quite right.

He wasn't one to beat around the bush, so he asked the question that puzzled him.

"I don't know."

"why?"

too suddenly.

He was still worried that the antagonistic relationship between the two would affect the village when the other party actually announced that he would abdicate. Anyone in his shoes would have questioned this first.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was certainly aware of this as well. His face was obscured by the smoke, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

"As for why... it's actually quite simple."

"I just can't deceive myself anymore."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shingetsu Seiun before him. Although the smoke obscured some of his vision, Shingetsu Seiun still appeared as handsome and youthful as ever.

"This is an exceptionally talented young man, so talented that he could be described as a prodigy," Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself.

It was precisely because the other person was so outstanding that he said: I can no longer deceive myself.

If the opponent is just an ordinary outstanding person, or whose strength has just reached the Kage level, or even an ordinary Kage level, he has many reasons to convince himself if he can suppress the opponent with his strength.

His talent was displayed too abruptly, the Shingetsu clan was not part of Konoha's core, he was too young and needed to be trained... and so on.

But the other party is not.

The title "Legendary Star of Konoha" is known to everyone in the ninja world today.

From resisting Chiyo of Sunagakure many years ago, attacking Yagura of Kirigakure, fighting against the young Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee of the Eight-Tails, to the opponent's recent defeat of Onoki of the Two Scales.

The name "God Moon Nebula" represents not just ordinary Kage-level strength, but the most elite strength in the ninja world.

He could no longer deceive himself into believing that he still had a chance of winning against such a prodigious and young genius as Shenyue Xingyun.

If you fight, the best outcome is your own death.

The worst possible outcome... just as Motoi and the others from Kumogakure hoped, Konoha severely injured itself in the ensuing internal strife.

"Alright, go back to your 'serious business'." Hiruzen Sarutobi issued a dismissal order: "Let the old man have some time to himself."

The Divine Moon Nebula did not leave.

He stood before Hiruzen Sarutobi, looking at the Third Hokage who had aged considerably in an instant, his gaze complex.

Seeing that he hadn't left, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up: "What, do you doubt me? Are you afraid I'll harm you?"

Shenyue Xingyun hesitated for a moment, then gently shook her head.

Hiruzen Sarutobi retorted irritably, "No?"

"Do you really want to kill me?"

Shingetsu Seiun shook his head again; of course, he had no intention of killing Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, the other party wasn't Danzo. Having served as Hokage for so many years, despite much controversy, he had undoubtedly worked hard, and many people in the village, especially ordinary ninjas, still held Hiruzen Sarutobi in high esteem.

If we actually kill the other party, the outcome is unpredictable.

This time, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's turn to be puzzled.

"Since you don't want to kill me, given your personality and strength, you certainly aren't afraid of me harming you."

What are you hesitating about?

"Why don't you prepare to succeed the Fifth Hokage?"

Shenyue Xingyun paused for a moment before speaking.

"If I said I had no intention of becoming Hokage, would you believe me?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "(￣д￣)..."

This time, it was his turn to stare intently into Shenyue Xingyun's eyes.

However, no matter how he observed, he couldn't detect any excitement or joy in Shingetsu Seiun's eyes about becoming Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent.

It was silence, and also speechlessness.

If emotions could be visualized, Shingetsu Seiun would be able to see Hiruzen Sarutobi's inner world, a vast expanse of shadow formed by a herd of alpacas.

A few dozen seconds later, he spoke: "Are you kidding me?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "I don't joke with old people."

"..."

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose eyes were twitching in silence, Shinzuki Seiun's gaze was also quite frank.

He really has no intention of becoming Hokage, at least not right now.

He is a man who aims to reach Level 6 and become the Fifth Hokage.

He could tell whether the rewards of level 6 or the empty title of "Hokage" were more important.

Furthermore, he couldn't allow Hiruzen Sarutobi to land so easily with a casual "yield."

After serving as Hokage for so many years, he indulged Danzo and the elders, ignored White Fang's suicide, offered up his own interests to seek peace, and treated me badly... How can all of this be forgiven with just a simple "You become Hokage"?

What a joke!

silence.

Silence reigns in the Hokage's office tonight.

Shingetsu Seiun remained silent because he hadn't expected Sarutobi Hiruzen to bow down to him. Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent because he was wondering if he could beat up the young man in front of him if he used all his skills.

I racked my brains, thinking hard.

Hiruzen Sarutobi realized with dismay that he couldn't fight back; he was no match for them.

Mixed feelings.

It was embarrassing.

I want to curse

"Don't be modest." Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was tinged with sadness: "The position of Hokage is yours."

Shenyue Xingyun: "...I didn't decline, so I can't accept it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes twitched as he stared at Shingetsu Seiun.

"What are you looking at?" Shenyue Xingyun said bluntly, "I'm not going to look at you anyway."

Hiruzen Sarutobi began to pant heavily.

Fortunately, he had enough patience and didn't faint from anger. After a moment, he spoke.

"The old man finally made up his mind to give up this position, and now you're telling me you're not going to take it?"

"Just because you don't take the blame, does that mean I can act as if nothing ever happened?!"

"All the major ninja clans have already contacted you privately. How am I supposed to remain Hokage now?!"

Shenyue Xingyun sneered.

"Of course you can't just pretend that nothing happened."

"The various ninja clans have contacted me; don't you even reflect on your own shortcomings?"

"What have you been doing all these years!"

"Have you diligently fulfilled your duties as Hokage?"

"Have they shown care for the next generation, restrained the power of the elders, and fought for the interests of the village?"

"Is there?"

"If you don't have that, what gives you the right to simply step down and retire to your hometown?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious. He stretched out his hand and pointed tremblingly at Shingetsu Nebula.

Shenyue Xingyun reached out and grasped, and the long sword floated in his palm.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hurriedly put his finger down.

Clench your fists, release them, then clench them again, and repeat this process.

In the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi still couldn't grip the giant iron club... the Monkey King.

"So what exactly do you want?" Hiruzen Sarutobi dejectedly released his grip, looking even older.

"You tell me."

Shenyue Xingyun: "What kind of attitude is this?!"
