Kai really did not hesitate any more. After all, he had seen Kakashi's mental state during this period.

I laughed and raised my right hand, thumbs up, and set myself a self-disciplined "cultivation" goal:

"Help Kakashi sleep for twenty-four hours. If that's not possible, help him sleep for another forty-eight hours!"

"Please! You must do it!"

Da Renyi smiled and watched Might Guy carry Kakashi on his shoulders and leave. This man with a watermelon head and wearing a green tights,

It was like a gust of green wind blowing through the Konoha Prison. In the gloomy and dark prison, the style of the scene suddenly seemed different!

"Great! That unlucky guy Kakashi has finally left! I can finally rest in peace!"

On the other side, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen in the prison was about to cry with joy. Kakashi was not a human being...

It’s too cruel, too cruel. You might as well just give me a quick death!

Dai Renyi turned and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a strange expression, Kakashi left, but I am here!

Are you happy too early?

"Sir, I sent Kakashi and Gai away because I have some questions that are not suitable for them to hear. I want to consult you. You should be able to satisfy my curiosity, right?"

Da Renyi quietly looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, the big man who had stood at the top of the entire ninja world not long ago but now had fallen into the mud and dust.

A thoughtful look flashed across Sarutobi Hiruzen's old and haggard face. This commoner, who he had previously thought was incredibly lucky, now seemed to be something extraordinary!

At least he could knock Kakashi out with a single blow, which is difficult for an ordinary ninja to do, even if Kakashi's mind and body have been tortured to the point of being close to their limits.

He pointed to the tobacco and pipes on a table outside the prison and proposed a condition to Da Renyi:

"I haven't smoked for a long time! That bastard Kakashi took it upon himself to stop me from smoking. That's too much!

If I remember correctly, your name is Da Renyi, right? The original founder of Shamatte, the lucky boy liked by Uchiha Quan?

Oh! What a lucky guy! An ordinary person who is loved wholeheartedly by the Uchiha girl who has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan and mastered the Sage Mode.

Your attitude can even affect the balance of power among the five major nations in the entire ninja world.

With this alone, you will be able to carve your name into history and leave your own legend.

Perhaps he will be called the most handsome man in the ninja world by future generations? A man who influenced the power of a great country with his masculine charm? The pinnacle of human masculine charm in history?"

As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen revealed his frivolous nature, his words were full of ridicule and envy.

Relying on looks and love to deal with Uchiha, this is a path he has never imagined,

But now it seems that although it is outrageous, it may not be impossible. At least it is much better than Danzo's method.

Sarutobi Hiruzen regretted it again, so bitter! He even thought about it and thought, if his teammate Uchiha Kagami was a girl, then now...

"Constrain yourself! Please restrain yourself!

At least wipe your saliva first!"

Da Renyi looked disgusted, worthy of being the Third Hokage who used the "telescope technique" to peek all year round. This old man was really quite obscene when he was not serious.

Seeing him so happy, I was ready to help him calm down, but Da Renyi spoke with a mental attack:

"I'm very curious, why do you want to admit the things about Uchiha Obito? Obviously, Uchiha Obito has nothing to do with you!"

"Boom!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen could no longer laugh. His body, which was leaning against the wall, slipped and fell heavily to the ground.

Without even bothering to get up, he propped himself up with both hands, raised his upper body, and said through gritted teeth:

"Do you know that I was wrongly accused in that matter?"

"I know!

We were the ones who wronged you in the first place!"

Da Renyi nodded, calmly said something that would drive Sarutobi Hiruzen crazy, and then stepped back a few steps to avoid being splashed by the spit that might burst out later...

But Sarutobi Hiruzen's reaction surprised him a little!

At first, he clenched his fists in anger, his teeth chattering, and then, as if he had thought of something,

He relaxed again, half-lifted up, and fell down again, lying on the ground, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"It seems that I have overthought. I have always been worried that because you have defeated me, you will relax your vigilance against the mysterious masked man Uchiha Obito.

Therefore, I repeatedly reminded Kakashi of the terrifying nature of the masked man Uchiha Obito, and even for this reason, I had to think of ways to make up a set of lies.

But I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed bitterly at himself. He thought that at the last moment of his life, he could become a great hero for Konoha and make contributions silently. But he turned out to be a clown on the stage.

He was extremely sad and had figured out many problems. After a while, he calmed down again, sighed, turned his head and asked Da Renyi,

“Is this a plan made by Naruto?

It turns out that he hates me even more than I thought!

I feel sorry for him and many people! In the end, all the bitter fruits are caused by me.

Even if I bear more hatred and abuse than the facts show, I deserve it!

I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, plead guilty!"

"I understand!"

Da Renyi nodded, understanding his thoughts. The "torture" from Kakashi was one reason, and the other was probably because of the last bit of spirit left in Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Then can I ask you, Sandaime-sama, what you really thought at the time? Regarding the Uchiha clan, the former Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo, Naruto, and so on?"

In my previous life, I read too many conspiracy theories about Naruto. In this life, my stance is completely opposite and there is no way to ease the tension.

Therefore, Da Renyi did not hesitate at all from the beginning and directly defined Sarutobi Hiruzen as an enemy.

And now, it is the time for him to end, coupled with the courage he has shown now,

Da Renyi is actually a little curious about the true kind of person Sarutobi Hiruzen is!

Chapter 60 The mask that can't be taken off! Sarutobi Hiruzen: I regret your shadow

"Give me the cigarette first! Thank you for your help!"

Hearing Dai Renyi's question, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had already dusted off his clothes and climbed up from the ground, smiled and gestured to him as if he was lighting a pipe.

Da Renyi laughed and threw the pipe and tobacco box on the table next to him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took it, lit it skillfully and took a long puff. His wrinkled face, which had originally been full of bitterness, instantly relaxed and he let out a long sigh of happiness.

After squinting his eyes and enjoying the moment, he looked up and carefully recalled his mental journey. This might be the first time he spoke out his inner thoughts without reservation:

"I am not a god like the first Hokage. I am just a mortal. I cannot perfectly fulfill all my wishes, nor can I protect everyone.

So, when faced with difficult situations, I can only make my own choices between the bad and the worse time and time again;

Sacrificing innocent people to protect the interests of the majority is of course unfair to the victims.

For example, the Uzumaki clan who could not wait for Konoha's strong rescue, the Uchiha clan members who were killed innocently, and many other people,

But as the Hokage, in order to avoid accidents that could make the situation worse, I, with my limited abilities, must make the most conservative and least bad choice.

Just like ordinary people, of course they all want to spend more time with their families, take good care of their children, and fulfill their responsibilities as a wife or husband, as well as a parent.

But most of the time they can't do it. In order to make a living and earn money to support their families, they have to be busy and not be seen all day long.

Their wives or husbands, and children will of course resent them, but there is nothing they can do about it. This is a rational and painful choice in itself.”

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, noticing the mocking expression on Dairinyi's face. His old face turned red, and he smiled awkwardly, adding:

“At least at first, that’s what I thought!

At that time, I was very cautious and thought carefully before making every choice.

In fact, every time I felt deeply guilty and remorseful towards the innocent victims, I had no choice but to give up on them.

Every decision I made was extremely painful for me, and then, and then..."

"and then?"

While listening, Da Renyi took out a pen and paper and carefully took notes, writing it all down.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face trembled. Could this guy be planning to publish my confession record?

Although he was worried about being "publicly executed", at the same time, there were many things that Sarutobi Hiruzen had been holding back on since he got to his current situation.

Shaking his head, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, revealing the darkness in his heart that he had been deliberately avoiding and unwilling to face:

"…Then, I got used to the pain, and slowly became numb and indifferent.

The real pain I once felt has faded. I have gotten used to the position of Hokage and can no longer feel the pain of the victims.

I pretended to be sympathetic and helpless towards them, but I gradually became indifferent inside.

The appearance of kindness and tolerance has become a mask on my face, a hypocritical and formulaic performance.

While habitually performing sympathy for them, my own pain and helplessness,

At the same time, he skillfully pushed them off the cliff. Slowly, it seemed that no one was irreplaceable!

Whether it is the village hero Konoha White Fang, or the innocent child Uzumaki Naruto,

Especially after Danzo and his roots appeared, I felt even more guilty, and now I had a reason to shirk responsibility.

At first, Danzo made a mistake without telling me. I was shocked and angry, but I couldn't bear to punish him harshly.

To others, he was a cold-blooded jerk, but to me,

He is my best friend who grew up with me, and my teammate who has shared life and death with me. On the battlefield, we have entrusted our lives to each other countless times.

So, I forgave him once,

Then, I couldn't help but forgive him for the second time, and the third time...

Later, I began to quietly enjoy the benefits brought to me by his selfishness. Danzo took the initiative to realize all my dark and selfish ideas for me.

Because I didn't do it, I can deceive myself and think I'm a good person!

So, I blamed him on the surface, but actually indulged him.

Countless times, I told myself in front of the mirror that those dark things were not my fault, they were all caused by Danzo's unauthorized decisions!

I'm not that kind of person. This is all Danzo's fault...

Then, I can walk into the sunshine with peace of mind, enjoy the stability and prosperity brought by the sacrifices, and wear all the honors on my head. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen was lost in thought as he spoke. As a heavy smoker, he was completely unaware of the fact that the pipe in his hand had already burned out.

"...Once you wear a mask for a long time, it will grow onto your face and you can no longer take it off.

In fact, later on, even I couldn’t clearly explain what kind of person I was!

In the process of compromising with reality, friends and selfishness bit by bit, and indulging again and again,

I have become something I never imagined I would be when I was a teenager!

Once upon a time, I thought I could always keep my original intention. I thought wearing a hypocritical mask was just a temporary compromise. I was conceited and thought I would not change.

But in fact, it's all an illusion...

Please tell Naruto that he defeated me and defeated me.

Then, don't ever be me again!

One mistake like the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is enough for Konoha."

Da Renyi put away the notebook paper that was filled with notes after his "processing and polishing" and gave him a thumbs up:

"Your case for error is compelling and very valuable;

It is very suitable as an important reference material that every future Hokage of Konoha must read before officially taking the throne.

Rest assured, your story will be known to everyone and your mistakes will live forever!"

"Well...that couldn't be better!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed his hands awkwardly, feeling a sense of social embarrassment. Then, he smiled happily and freely.

As a failure in life, he can provide a reference for future Hokage before his death.

He was already satisfied just to eliminate a wrong choice for them.
