As the saying goes, if you want to make people die, you must first make them crazy. Sarutobi Gouhao is at this stage now.
Although he is the same generation as the Second Hokage, he is still too weak compared to the Senju brothers and his elder brother Sarutobi Sasuke (the third Hokage's father, the origin of Sasuke's name).
Therefore, Sarutobi Gouhao's dream has always been to become Hokage.
With his eyes closed, he could imagine the scene at that time, surrounded by flowers, applause, and cheers.
At the same time, he was finally able to stand up and shout proudly, I am no worse than my eldest brother!
Because of this, the position of Hokage has a special and fatal attraction for him, just like the allure of drugs to addicts.
"Brother, you have been dead for so many years, but I still live in your shadow... Others call me Sasuke's younger brother as always, day after day."
"Perhaps, in their eyes, such a title is an honor, but to me, it is just an eternal torture..."
"Every year, from the first day of spring to the end of winter solstice, this pain tugs at my heart all the time."
Gradually, Sarutobi Gouhao's expression became crazy. He was like a traveler lost in the eternal night, unable to see either hope or light.
"Brother... what they call Sasuke Sarutobi's younger brother is not my name...! My name is Gouhao Sarutobi, and I am a responsible and courageous ninja..."
"But, they never call me that... and they always record my success in your name."
That sentence was worthy of being Sasuke-sama's younger brother. He was tired of hearing it and was tired of hearing it.
Finally, the evil thoughts in my heart defeated my reason.
One moonlit night, he put Sunagakure's poison into the medicinal wine.
Watch the elder brother drink it.
The poison was very poisonous, and the man he regarded as a nightmare fell down quickly.
Looking at his elder brother's eyes full of surprise, resentment, and nostalgia, Sarutobi Gouhao found that he was not as sad as he imagined, but instead felt a sense of relief.
Because, he knew that from that moment on, he would no longer have to live in the shadow of others.
——Thousands of times of hard work, only to be ignored!
——Beware of the emotions in your heart, the tea will cool down when you leave!
He, Sarutobi Gouhao, lives only for his obsession!
And now is the best opportunity!
All he has to do is become Hokage!
Let the eldest brother’s tombstone be engraved with a new motto
——The elder brother of the Fourth Hokage, Sarutobi Gouhao.
"Those who used to be lonely for me, you will eventually come back!"
Sarutobi Gouhao straightened his clothes, opened the door and left.
At this time, the long night has cooled down, and the candles in the camp are slowly lighting up.
Looking at the dense dark clouds in the sky.
Sarutobi Gouhao believes that in the near future, he will start his legendary life in the northern camp.
At this moment, it was the darkness before dawn, and he was the stars that illuminated the night!
"Uchiha Mitsuki, Hatake Sakumo, it's time to meet you..."
…
At the same time, somewhere in the sand.
Although this place is said to be sandy land, it is actually the junction of woodland and sandy land.
This kind of scenery can be seen everywhere on the battlefield where Konoha and Sunagakure fought.
"Master Lan, where are we going?"
Naoki asked doubtfully while following closely behind a jounin.
And the jounin who came out with the rope tree was none other than Lan, who had received orders from Sarutobi Gouhao to kill the rope tree.
Hearing the voice, he looked serious and replied: "It's Shikadai-sama's order! We need to explore the southeast rock wall. The enemy may have set an ambush there."
Shikadai-sama?
Shengshu frowned, feeling something was not right.
Because he had been staying with Nara Shikadai in the afternoon, helping him sort out documents. Do you really need someone else to do the talking for you if you have any tasks?
However, the jounin in front of him had an irreconcilable friendship with his sister, Tsunade.
Therefore, Shengshu was a little confused at the moment.
But no matter how confused he was, as a young genin, when faced with the summons of the village jounin, he could only choose to agree rather than oppose.
"It should be fine..."
Shen Shu comforted herself silently in her heart.
At this moment, he suddenly found that the sand in front of him was a little strange, so he quickly pulled the blue in front of him, and at the same time warned loudly: "Be careful! There is a detonating talisman ahead!"
???
How can this be!
How did he find out!
Lan looked like he had seen a ghost.
At this moment, he, who was already feeling guilty, was pulled by the rope tree. His feet instantly softened and he fell into the sand with a crash.
"teacher!"
Shengshu yelled and pulled Lan out of the sand.
Fortunately, the man is tall and thin, otherwise he may not be able to pull.
"Puff puff!"
Lan bent down and spat out the sand in his mouth.
Seeing this, Shengshu patted the man on the shoulder and asked with concern: "Master Lan, are you okay?"
"Ahem...it's okay."
Even so, Lan always felt like grit had entered his lungs, making it itchy and uncomfortable.
"As long as it's okay..."
Hearing this, Naoki breathed a sigh of relief, then he took out a kunai from the ninja bag on his waist and threw it not far away.
Just listen, there is a loud bang!
The red fire, accompanied by violent explosions, briefly lit up the night sky.
Wherever the explosion came from, sand and rocks were flying and dust was flying in an instant!
"Lord Lan, look, there is indeed a detonating talisman buried there."
"How did you know?"
Lan couldn't help but ask.
The rope tree smiled slightly and said proudly: "The traces in the sand are wrong. Normally, the sand will have one-sided marks due to the wind direction, but someone has obviously done something there, even half an hour ago."
???
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan's head was full of questions, and he thought to himself, did he see me when I buried the detonating talisman before?
Otherwise, how could he know so clearly?
Although her mind was full of doubts at the moment, Lan quickly adjusted.
After all, no one who has reached the jounin level can save fuel!
"Well done, Rope Tree! Let's keep going!"
Covering the cold sweat on his forehead, Lan Yan praised insincerely.
At this moment, he decided to take the rope tree to the next trap!
"……oh."
Seeing the cold sweat on the man's forehead, Shengshu was distracted for a moment.
Is this the kidney deficiency that Brother Jiraiya mentioned?
It’s really scary!
I was scared to encounter an ordinary explosion... Tsk tsk...
Shengshu shook his head and suddenly felt that Lan's kidneys were not working.
…
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!
"Master Lan! Watch your step!"
"boom!"
"Master Lan! Be careful with that rock!"
"boom!"
"Master Lan! Be careful...!"
"Rose Tree, let's go back!"
After another boy found the detonating talisman, Lan gave up...
