Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Danzo is definitely not right!

Every time someone comes here looking for a scolding, they probably don't want to get the Hokage position, they want to get the Hokage position from him.

Click!

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was lost in thought, the sound of a door opening suddenly rang out.

Just as he was wondering who was so rude as to enter the Hokage's office without knocking, he realized...

The last person he wanted to see walked in.

"Hiruzen, we must resolve the issue of the Uchiha clan as soon as possible!"

Danzo Shimura, leaning on a cane and with half his body wrapped in bandages, looked unusually agitated.

The only things that could excite him so much, besides the Hokage, were the Uchiha clan.

It was only when Shimura Danzo entered that he realized that Hiruzen Sarutobi's reaction seemed a little off.

In the past, Hiruzen Sarutobi would always be nonchalant and calm no matter what he said when he came in, but today he seemed too stiff.

After Shimura Danzo noticed this difference, he immediately began to examine the other person.

Little did he know, Hiruzen Sarutobi already felt something was off about Danzo Shimura entering the door without knocking.

Now that he was being scrutinized like this, he suddenly felt a tightness in his anus.

"Hiruzen, are you alright?"

After searching for a long time without finding any trace of the transformation technique, Shimura Danzo had no choice but to look away and ask directly.

"Cough cough cough! I'm fine, I'm just feeling a little unwell."

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly covered his embarrassment with a cough, and after composing himself, he asked, "What brings you here today?"

His mind was filled with the rumors that Shirokumo Aoba had told him, so he didn't hear them clearly when Danzo came in.

Upon hearing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was unwell, Danzo Shimura's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Hiruzen, if you're not feeling well, you can rest for a while. I can also help with the village's affairs."

To show his sincerity, Shimura Danzo revealed a concerned expression that he hadn't done in a long time, as if he were genuinely concerned about the other person's health.

Hiruzen Sarutobi: ? ? ?

What kind of expression is that?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just adjusted his mindset, almost lost it again.

Danzo Shimura was still delivering the finishing blow.

"Hiruzen, you are now the Hokage of Konoha, and your health is of utmost importance. As an advisor to the village and your close friend, I am doing this for the sake of Konoha and for your sake as the Hokage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was even more confused. You still know we're best friends?

Seeing that Shimura Danzo was about to continue speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't sit still any longer. His expression immediately hardened, and he roared angrily.

"Enough! Danzo!"

"I am the Hokage, I don't need you to worry about these things!"

Danzo Shimura was also stunned. He hadn't even started today yet, and had only been concerned about Hiruzen's health. Why did he feel that Hiruzen's temper was even worse than before?

Could it be that he's been living a comfortable life for too long and his acting skills have declined?

"Hiruzen, I..."

"Danzo! Calm down!"

Danzo Shimura:? ? ?

Who needs to calm down now?

From the moment he came in until now, except for a little excitement at the beginning, he has been speaking softly and gently, while you, on the other hand, keep yelling.

Unaware of the truth, Shimura Danzo chose to keep his mouth shut, remaining silent and simply staring at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi now sees everything as gay through the lens of BL (Boys' Love).

At this moment, the other person's posture appeared to him as if she had been wronged... and was acting coquettishly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists instinctively. He admitted that he was starting to panic; he couldn't let his best friend of many years go astray.

"call--"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Danzo, you should go back now. During this time, don't come to me unless it's an emergency. Just do your job well."

Danzo Shimura was truly aggrieved this time; he wondered if his close friend had lost his temper.

Even though his attitude was much better than before, Hiruzen Sarutobi was even more irritable.

Could it be that Hiruzen Sarutobi prefers him to be a little fiercer?

Danzo Shimura seemed to have figured something out, but looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's current state, it didn't seem like a good time.

The routine began.

"Hmph! Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

Danzo Shimura suddenly flicked his sleeve.

"Remember to knock next time you come."

Just as he was about to slam the door shut, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice rang out again.

Danzo Shimura's smooth movements suddenly froze, but he still slammed the door shut with a "bang".

"What on earth is going on? Has something happened to the village again?"

Standing at the doorway, Shimura Danzo finally frowned.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what had happened in the village, so I just left.

"Oh right! What was I here for today?"

After Danzo left, the Third Hokage got up and went to the window, silently watching the white clouds drifting across the sky, thinking about Danzo's actions over the years, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

In the end, all that can be done is to sigh deeply.

"Danzo... my dearest friend..."

"Teacher... what should I do..."

Muttering to himself, Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into deep thought again, pondering Aoba Shirakumo's words, as if his teacher was also among them.

"A sin..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been harassed by Danzo, completely forgot that he still had to deal with Aoba Shirakumo's matter.

Chapter 14 Hinata Wants to Go Out

"Punch!"

"Punch again!"

"Find the right spot before you throw the punch!"

"You need to find the weakest point on the wooden dummy!"

Inside the training grounds of the Hyuga clan compound.

Hiashi Hyuga, dressed in a loose white training uniform, was teaching Hinata the basics of Hyuga Gentle Fist.

However, the more Hiashi Hyuga taught, the more his anger grew, which he found difficult to control.

Although he had prepared extra portions for Hinata after learning that she had a larger appetite recently, he did so for a while.

After eating her fill, Hinata's strength did indeed increase considerably, and the palm prints she made on the wooden dummy were clearly visible. However, she still couldn't quite pinpoint the location of her strikes.

This shows that Hinata's punches still lack offensive power.

The Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist is not just about gentleness. Although it is not as powerful as the Hard Fist, it is still very ruthless. The strikes must be swift and vicious in order to seize opportunities in battle and inject chakra into the enemy's pressure points.

Hinata's current actions are not aimed at the enemy's weak points.

"Hinata! Stop!"

After watching for a long time, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't stand it any longer and sternly told him to stop.

Hinata, who was waving her little hand wholeheartedly, was startled and trembled, like a child who had done something wrong, shrinking her neck and standing there waiting to be scolded.

Seeing this, Hiashi Hyuga sighed, his anger subsiding by half, though his expression remained stern.

Although his daughter's obedience made him very happy, as the daughter of the clan chief, this personality was really not presentable.

To be honest, he didn't expect Hinata to be as outstanding as the one from the Uchiha clan; he just wanted her to be decent and average.

Even if it's doing reasonably well now, there's still a long way to go.

Hinata doesn't have much time left...

A struggle flashed in Hiashi Hyuga's eyes, but even he couldn't defy the fate of his clan.

"Neji, you demonstrate."

Hiashi Hyuga glanced at Neji Hyuga beside him, and waited for the expressionless Neji Hyuga to walk in front of the wooden doll.

He then raised his hand to greet Hinata, his tone slightly gentler.

"Watch carefully, learn well. Your punches must be powerful and fierce, hitting vital points. They can't just be weak and showy."

Hinata nodded obediently, watching Neji punch the wooden stake with a cold face, her eyes filled with a hint of envy and longing.

She also wanted to meet her father's requirements, but every time she practiced, the thought of what if the opponent was a real person made her unconsciously reduce the force of her punches and avoid vital points.

If Aoba-kun knew, would he also be disappointed?

Hinata immediately thought of Shirakumo Aoba.

Even though a long time has passed, it still feels like it happened just yesterday whenever she thinks about that night.

That scene would occasionally appear in her dreams.

That was the first time someone stood up to protect her, the first time someone treated her to delicious ramen, and the first time someone learned that she actually had a big appetite.

First times are often memorable, let alone so many first times.
