The Third Hokage pretended not to see the anger on Tsunade's face, glanced at Tsunade lightly and said.
After standing firm, Tsunade took a few deep breaths to calm down her angry mood.
After a while, Tsunade, concerned about the face of the Third Hokage, deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Master, I have something to ask you. Is it your order that Sarutobi Gohao sent people to assassinate Naoki?"
The Third Hokage was stunned for a moment. He did this in such a secretive way, how could he be discovered?
Suppressing the shock in his heart, he pretended to be calm and smiled very naturally, "It's not me."
"Master, no, this is the last time I will call you this." After hearing the Third Hokage's answer, Tsunade looked sad. After she calmed down, she raised her arms and slowly lowered them and tied them on her forehead.
He handed the forehead protector to the Third Hokage, "This is a gift you gave me when I became a genin. I have been wearing it on my head for more than ten years."
"When I was a kid, every time I celebrated my birthday, you would touch my head and ask me what I wished for, but I never told you in the past."
"At that time..."
Listening to Tsunade's words, the Third Hokage seemed to have a picture of her innocent childhood.
But Tsunade turned a deaf ear to the Third Hokage's reaction and sank into her own world.
"At that time...my wish was actually very simple, that is, I hope that my father and master can live in harmony. In this way, I can have complete and double happiness."
"You are all the people I love the most, but you are also the people who hurt me the most..."
"In the past, for many sleepless nights, I hugged the pillow and sobbed softly, fearing that some bad news would come... Every time I heard Jiraiya say that my father and you were in conflict again, I was afraid that at night
Father will not come back, or you will disappear tomorrow."
"Although I was born into the Thousand Hands clan, my childhood was filled with laughter and tears..."
"Later, my father died...I don't blame you, but Naoki..." The sadness accumulated in Tsunade's chest could not be suppressed, and her emotions gradually lost control, "But he is still a child! What are you doing?
You can attack him!"
The Third Hokage trembled all over and did not dare to raise his hand to take the forehead protector that Tsunade handed to him, because he knew that from the moment he took the forehead protector, the master-disciple relationship between him and the girl in front of him was completely severed.
.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, why don't you accept it? Do you dare to do it or not?"
Tsunade's fair face was horribly red from anger. At the same time, this sharp roar attracted the attention of other jounin.
"not good!"
Looking at Tsunade, who was glaring with wide eyes, and then at the jounin who were gradually moving towards Tsunade, Uchiha Mitsuki hurriedly ran over.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Uchiha Mitsuki directly activated the teleportation technique without saying a word and blocked everyone in front of them. "Everyone, please disperse! There will be a Jōnin meeting later!"
Uchiha Mitsuki, the new Hokage, opened his mouth to speak. How dare everyone not obey, they all shook their heads and retreated.
After the others left, the Third Hokage still did not take the forehead protector from Tsunade.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, it was a mistake for Second Grandpa to hand over the position of Hokage to you! Although Second Grandpa is also very scheming, he has never been as bold as you."
After saying this, the resentment in Tsunade's heart seemed to be gone. She shook her head, bent down, and carefully placed her forehead protector at the feet of the Third Hokage.
"Since you don't want it, then throw it away! From today on, you and I no longer have the status of master and disciple!"
After saying that, Tsunade turned around and left, not even paying attention to Uchiha Mitsuki beside her.
Soon, the girl's footsteps disappeared along with the cheers downstairs. The Third Hokage lowered his head and stared at the forehead protector on the ground.
Apparently, the forehead protector brought back some memories.
And Uchiha Mitsuki did not choose to disturb the Third Hokage at this time, but stood quietly aside, waiting for the follow-up of the matter.
After a long time, the Third Hokage sighed dejectedly: "Now I have nothing..."
After speaking, he did not bend down to pick up the forehead protector from the ground, but walked away silently.
The desolate back of the Third Hokage made Uchiha Mitsuki sigh. After a few breaths, he bent down to touch the forehead protector lying flat on the ground.
However, at this moment, Uchiha Mitsuki suddenly found the silhouettes of two people reflected on his forehead protector. In addition to himself, Orochimaru also came to him at some point.
"Senior brother, when did you come?"
Uchiha Mitsuki picked up the forehead protector on the ground and said to Orochi with narrowed eyes.
Orochimaru licked his lips and said with a hint of regret, "I've been here a long time ago...Why, are you feeling sorry for Master?"
"No..." Uchiha Mitsuki shook his head.
Looking at the young man with an unnatural expression, Orochimaru paused for a moment and sighed sadly: "The master is in this situation because of himself."
However, Uchiha Mitsuki didn't want to say anything to add insult to injury, so he changed the subject and began to ask Orochimaru about the establishment of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
"How is the preparation of the Ministry of Science and Technology's manpower, site selection, and equipment?"
When the Ministry of Science and Technology was mentioned, Orochimaru's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but speak a lot faster, "It has been prepared for a long time, but we are short of money...!"
money……?
Uchiha Mitsuki's mouth twitched, this is really a headache.
"Let's wait until the Jonin meeting is over!"
"Fine……"
Orochimaru's eyes darkened, and he vaguely felt that the money might not be easy to get, but even if it was not easy to get, he would urge Uchiha Mitsuki to allocate money in time every day. After all, those new instruments were still waiting for him to buy!
While thinking, Orochimaru discovered that Uchiha Mitsuki secretly hid Tsunade's forehead protector in his arms. He tentatively asked: "Do you want to return this thing to Tsunade?"
Uchiha Mitsuki shook his head and said in a low voice: "Forget it, it has lost its original meaning."
"Too……"
Orochimaru sighed.
…
As the New Year approaches and there is a happy occasion, the entire commercial street launches various discount activities.
After participating in the Hokage's succession ceremony, everyone was shocked and felt a little overwhelmed.
And when people are in a good mood, they can't help but buy something.
No, there are even long queues in front of major shops.
Especially in front of Jiyingtang Bookstore, the queue was as long as a giant dragon.
"welcome!"
“Come again next time!”
"What? "The Growth History of Miyuki-sama" is out of stock again? Go and ask them to reprint it! Hurry!"
The chubby shopkeeper stood at the door, greeting the customers who came and went, and felt happy in his heart.
