Nara Shikaku always thought that Li Yi was just a jerk and had no real strength.
However, the fact is that Li Yi almost killed a genin instantly!
This forced Nara Shikaku to get to know Li Yi again.
"This guy is not as simple as I thought. It seems that we need to investigate again."
Nara Shikaku stared at Li Yi and thought.
Li Yi didn't talk nonsense with Nara Shikaku.
He looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Hokage-sama, does this information count as credit?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "Forget it."
"Then can I offset my merits and demerits?"
Li Yi asked.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath from his cigarette, thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay."
"Thank you, Hokage-sama."
Li Yi smiled with satisfaction.
He didn't want to wear the yoke of a sinner all day long.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't seem to want to worry about whether Li Yi was a spy now. He turned to look at Violet and said: "Little girl of the Uzumaki clan, what is your name?"
"Hokage-sama, my name is Uzumaki Uzumaki."
Violet replied with a soft voice.
"Violet, this is a good name, it sounds nice."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly: "In our village, there is also a little girl from the Uzumaki clan. Maybe you two know each other. But she is a little older than you."
In the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Violet is just a fifteen or sixteen year old girl.
However, Violet's real age is already nineteen years old.
After all, she "died" for three years.
Uzumaki Kushina is around twenty years old, so Hiruzen Sarutobi said that Uzumaki Kushina is older than Violet.
In fact, the two women are almost the same age.
Violet nodded lightly and didn't say much.
"Violet, I heard Mikoto say, do you want to enter our country of fire?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked again.
"That's right, Hokage-sama."
Violet nodded lightly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe, thought for a moment, and finally turned to look at Li Yi and said, "Li Yi, please go out first."
Li Yi was startled.
Why do you want me to go out first?
Does the Third Hokage want to question Violet himself?
Without hesitation, Li Yi nodded gently: "Okay, Lord Hokage."
After speaking, Li Yi pushed the door open and walked out.
On the way to Konoha Village, Li Yi had already told Violet everything he should say and what he shouldn't say.
Violet is smart and smart and should not go wrong.
Therefore, Li Yi was not worried even if the veteran Hiruzen Sarutobi interrogated him personally.
Li Yi stood in the corridor of the Hokage's office, leaning against the wall, waiting patiently.
About twenty minutes passed.
"Crunch!"
The door to the Hokage's office was pushed open.
Nara Shikaku's faint voice came: "Li Yi, come in."
"OK."
Li Yi nodded and walked into the Hokage's office.
As soon as he entered the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Li Yi, Violet is your friend and should live with you."
Hearing this, Li Yi blinked.
Because, according to the inherent routine, Sarutobi Hiruzen would say the word "but" next.
As expected, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "However, after all, Violet is an outsider and must have a two-week observation period. Therefore, you cannot meet during these two weeks."
Li Yi frowned.
Can't meet?
Such a dog?
However, Li Yi didn't complain about anything. Instead, he thought about it and finally nodded: "Okay, Hokage-sama, I have no objection."
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Since Li Yi lives in Konoha Village now, he must obey the rules of Konoha Village, and he must also listen to the words of Lord Hokage.
"Li Yi, you have completed the A-level task. Tomorrow morning, go to the finance department to receive the task reward."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said again.
The so-called task rewards are actually money.
Over the years, Li Yi has been receiving pensions from the death of his parents, so he can only drink ramen occasionally and make ends meet.
Now that Li Yi has completed an A-level task, he must have made a lot of money.
When he thought of this, Li Yi couldn't help but look forward to it.
You know, there are many delicious, delicious, and fun places in Konoha Village!
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen said again: "Li Yi, it's getting late today. Violet will stay at your house for now. I will send someone to settle her down tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Hokage-sama."
Li Yi nodded lightly and agreed without hesitation.
I just want to take this evening to explain some important things.
"Okay, I'm fine."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe, leaned back on his chair, and asked, "What about you? Do you have anything else?"
"I'm fine."
Li Yi shook his head gently.
"What about you, Violet?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Violet.
"I'm fine too."
Violet also shook her head slightly.
So, the two of them left the Hokage's office.
"Crunch!"
The door is closed.
In the Hokage's office, only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nara Shikaku were left.
Sarutobi Hiruzen squinted his eyes and smoked a cigarette, surrounded by mist.
Nara Shikaku stood there in a daze, motionless.
Both of them were silent.
I don't know how long it took.
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly spoke and asked: "Shikaku, what do you think?"
"Too suspicious."
Nara Shikaku did not hide his thoughts and said: "If it is as he said, it is the seven ninja swordsmen of the Kingdom of Water who captured them, then even a jounin cannot escape from the clutches."
Nara Shikaku glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and asked: "Does that guy have the strength of an elite Jonin?"
"I don't know, but he has a strange weapon. It looks like my ape demon, but it doesn't have the ape demon's spirituality."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
"I've also heard about that weapon."
Nara Shikaku nodded and said: "It can be long or short, thick or thin, and can change its size at will. This kind of weapon is indeed rare, but can you escape with just one weapon?"
"Didn't Mikoto say that that little guy also has the blood inheritance limit of space transfer?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
"But Sister Meiqin also said that Li Yi only used the ability of space transfer twice. The first time was when he was very young, and the second time was to save Sister Meiqin. In other words, from the hands of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen,
When he narrowly escaped death, he did not use the ability to move through space."
Nara Shikaku retorted.
"How do you know he didn't lie?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Nara Shikaku suddenly choked up.
This question stopped him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "Shikaku, in many cases, what you see with your eyes may not necessarily be believed, let alone what you hear. You have to make your own judgment here."
At the end of the sentence, Sarutobi pointed at his head.
Nara Shikaku's face was startled, as if he had received some inspiration. Finally, he bowed to Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Shikaku has learned a lesson."
