For several days.

Uchiha Tunan spent the day mingling with Matt Dai and his son and the elderly in the orphanage.

Faced with Uchiha Tunan's inquiries, one of these empty-nesters surrendered in almost a day or two.

As for the two simple-minded people, Matt Dai and his son, they naturally cannot escape.

Uchiha Tunan didn't use any special moves at all, he just helped them financially.

By the way, I practiced some physical skills with them and easily won their approval.

There is no way, who can tell that Uchiha Tunan's reputation in Konoha is now at its peak.

Anyone who mentions Uchiha Tunan's deeds will give a thumbs up and praise him.

The disparity in status and strength, coupled with the blessing of good reputation, makes it much easier to gain the recognition of simple-minded people.

Every night, after Uchiha Tunan and Sarukora made software modifications, they would plant seeds of hope in those rations.

Recently, the ninja books at Konoha Bookstore have been sold out basically every day.

They were all bought with rations and taken home to study.

They are just like Uchiha Tunan who has just acquired the system, eager for power.

On this day, in the Hokage conference room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat at the front seat, smoking a cigarette, tapping his fingers on the table and saying, "Danzo, please explain this matter to the Daimyo. I believe he will agree."

Danzo sat opposite Hiruzen Sarutobi with an expressionless face, glancing at the two silent people from the corner of his eye, who looked very much like Mito Kadoen and Koharu who were sleeping in the quail.

"I understand, Uchiha Tunan's strength is indeed not suitable for participating in the Honorary Chuunin Tournament.

I'll send someone to notify the name later.

By the way, who will be the contestant?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, puffed out smoke and said:

"Kakashi, he's pretty good.

Although we are young, the younger we are, the more we can demonstrate the strength of Konoha."

Danzo thought for a moment after hearing this, shook his head and said: "Kakashi is not suitable."

"What do you mean?" Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Danzo denying his opinion, his eyes immediately narrowed and he said coldly.

Suddenly, the temperature in the conference room seemed to drop a little.

Danzo lowered his eyes and said indifferently:

"Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of competing with you over the selection of candidates.

It’s just that Kakashi is White Fang’s son.

According to the investigation, the Thunder Release Ninjutsu performed by Abe Keimei is very similar to White Fang's secret technique.

I'm worried that it may cause misunderstandings in the Fire City."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said, "Oh? How come I didn't know about this and you actually hid it from me?"

"There is no need to tell you this.

After all, I think you have finally forgotten this matter, so it is not good to mention it in front of you and make you sad."

Faced with the now powerful Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo could only avoid his sharp edge and said in a deep voice:

"The Daming Mansion had previously suspected that White Teeth was Abe Keimei.

The reason they gave was that White Fang probably had a grudge against Konoha.

So he disguised himself as Abe Keimei and persuaded Shinnosuke to kill the previous daimyo in order to sow discord between the daimyo and Konoha.

In addition, Ryoma told me that he had seen White Fang perform a similar secret technique of lightning escape during the mission in the Kingdom of Sichuan.

I also thought it was possible at the time.

So I investigated privately and ruled out this possibility."

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and his expression changed slightly: "Did you dig White Fang's grave?"

Danzo spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "I'm just asking for confirmation and collecting some corpse samples to confirm that White Fang is really dead.

Don't worry, I won't do that kind of thing where you just dig things up and don't bury them.

After all, White Fang is the hero of Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep look at Danzo, and finally chose to settle the matter and take a deep breath of smoke:

"Since it's not White Fang, what's the problem with letting Kakashi go?"

Danzo sneered and said with a strange air:

"Kakashi is a pretty good kid. I don't want him to become the target of the Daming Mansion's anger.

This Daimyo should not be the kind of person who talks about evidence.

Hiruzen, when did you become so naive?

If you want to take this opportunity to get rid of Kakashi, I have no objection."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he felt that what Danzo said made sense, and immediately nodded in agreement and said:

"Okay, I'll look for a Sarutobi tribesman tomorrow, and then you can submit the candidate's name."

After the matter was finalized, Danzo was too lazy to continue looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, and immediately stood up and left.

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen also returned to the office from the conference room.

He leaned back in his chair, thinking about the information Danzo revealed today, and murmured:

"Where did White Fang obtain the secret technique of lightning escape? It should have been obtained on the battlefield.

No, you should go deep behind enemy lines to perform a mission to get such a powerful secret technique.

Where did he go during the Second Ninja War..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen only recalled briefly and discovered that White Fang had visited almost every village during the war.

After all, White Fang is good at gathering intelligence and assassinating people, so the tasks he performs are basically behind enemy lines.

And the so-called secret art of lightning escape may be a trophy that White Fang grabbed while performing his mission.

Villages usually turn a blind eye to things like trophies and don't care.

"It should be Yunyin Village..."

After much deliberation, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided that Seimei Abe's identity was at the head of the Kumogakure village.

After all, such a powerful secret technique of lightning escape is probably only available in Yunyin Village.

"This is a bit troublesome. Those reckless men estimate that ordinary diplomatic methods are of no use to them.

Unless we start a war..."

"Shinnosuke, Asuma...

If the war starts next time, I will avenge you."

A trace of guilt flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.

My two sons died not long ago, and I had almost forgotten them.

I immediately opened the drawer, ready to take a look at the photos of the two of them and reminisce about them.

As a result, when I opened the drawer, I found a photo lying in the middle.

This is the graduation photo taken on the day Uchiha Tunan became a genin.

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, picked up the photo and looked at it.

In the photo, Uchiha Tunan's face is filled with a peaceful smile.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the photo and couldn't help but smile knowingly, thinking of the positive discussions about Uchiha Tunan in the village during this period.

This kid...

It’s really a peace of mind.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put the photo on his desk and continued to look for photos of Shinnosuke and Asuma in the drawer.

But I couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

Only then did Sarutobi Hiruzen remember that he was afraid of missing people when he saw things, and the photos of the two of them seemed to have been put back at home by him.

I couldn't help but feel a little guilty, feeling a little sorry for my two sons.

If you can’t see your two sons, then look at your enemy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out Abe Keimei's information.

Two photos came into view.

One in black and white, one in color.
