This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

After all, the opponent is Hanzo of the Salamander, who has the title of "Demigod of the Ninja World".

"fine."

But who would have thought that when he heard what Mito Menen said, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, and he shook his head lightly, as if he trusted his three disciples extremely.

"Okay, we agree."

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen so confident, the two looked at each other and agreed to Sarutobi Hiruzen's request.

"What if a second battlefield is opened up?"

"Hinata and Uchiha must not be trusted. The others lack the qualifications and strength."

"Are you going to do it yourself, or are you really going to let Danzo do it?"

The two asked again, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing, but simply shifted his gaze to the fox-faced Anbu who had been standing behind him.

Seeing this, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu suddenly understood and smiled peacefully.

All the previous conversations between the four people did not avoid this Anbu, which was enough to show that this person was Sarutobi Hiruzen's absolute confidant.

"I almost forgot, there's also the existence of Minister An."

Utane Koharu said with a smile, looking at the fox-faced Anbu with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

This fox-faced Anbu is surprisingly the current Anbu chief of Konoha.

The Anbu of Konoha is different from the Anbu of Kirigakure, and his power has been greatly reduced.

The Kirigakage's position as an Anbu leader is firmly in the top three, but he is probably not even in the top ten in Konoha. At best, he is only equivalent to the Hokage's personal guard captain and assistant.

Hearing this, the fox-faced man remained silent, but his slightly trembling body showed that he was very excited.

"Sakumo, do your best. I'm counting on you."

Now that the matter had been brought to light, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer concealed anything and spoke frankly to Hatake Sakumo behind him.

That's right, this person is none other than the "White Fang of Konoha" who will later become famous in the ninja world, Hatake Sakumo. He is currently the head of Konoha's Anbu and also a close confidant of the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Yes, thank you, Hokage-sama!"

Hatake Sakumo replied with a voice trembling with excitement.

For those who lack the ability, serving as a commander on the battlefield may lead to danger and death.

But for those who are capable, what they lack is an opportunity to fight on the battlefield and become famous!

And Hatake Sakumo obviously belongs to the latter.

Seeing this, the three old foxes looked at each other and then smiled slightly.

After seeing everyone off, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of the Hokage's office and came to the Hokage Rock, overlooking the magnificent Konoha.

Gradually, a hint of heat appeared in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

Those who have never experienced power cannot imagine how wonderful it feels to hold power.

Even powerful families like the Uchiha and Hyuga, which were once famous and prestigious families in the ninja world, Sarutobi Hiruzen only needed a transfer order to make these powerful families serve him at his beck and call.

How can one not be obsessed with such a feeling?

Following Sarutobi Hiruzen's wrist arrangement.

And everyone who walks at the pinnacle of power is destined to be extremely lonely.

Friends, apprentices, children, family

These things are destined to be just tools used by those in power to maintain their own rights. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen is always on guard against people around him coveting the power in his hands!

Sarutobi Hiruzen's response to the provocation of the Rain Ninja seemed to be just giving the young people some opportunities, but in fact there was a deeper meaning behind it.

Talking about Sarutobi Hiruzen's various arrangements for this battle, his biggest goal was not to defeat the Rain Ninja, but to consolidate his position.

Right now, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s biggest enemy is not the Rain Ninja, nor does it come from outside the village.

But it’s the Hyuga and Uchiha inside the village!

Especially the Uchiha clan, they do not hide their desire for the position of Hokage at all!

In this battle, the three ninjas and Hatake Sakumo were arranged to fight. Both Hatake Sakumo and the three ninjas were directly under Sarutobi Hiruzen's close confidants.

Is there no one else in Konoha who is capable of fighting?

The answer is of course no.

Whether it is the Hyuga or Uchiha clan leaders, or even Danzo Shimura, they are far more qualified than the Sannin in terms of seniority and status.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored this and insisted on pushing the three ninjas to the forefront of the ninja world.

The three ninjas, as disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen, are seen as extensions of Sarutobi Hiruzen's will by the rest of Konoha.

Once the Sannin can win on the battlefield of Rain Ninja, not only will the Sannin themselves gain huge fame, but they will also become a hot figure within Konoha and even in the ninja world.

And the biggest beneficiary will be Sarutobi Hiruzen!

The reputation of the Three Ninjas will bring huge political capital to Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Everyone in the village would say that it was the Hokage's wise teaching that made the Sannin what they are today.

This is far more effective for a person in power and a ruler than leading the troops to defeat the enemy himself.

The three ninjas will also become the real trump card in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand.

With the three ninjas as his pillars, Sarutobi Hiruzen's position as Hokage will be as stable as a rock.

In short, both Hatake Sakumo and the Sannin are just tools for Sarutobi Hiruzen to gain power.

The rise of the three ninjas and Hatake Sakumo will also completely boost Sarutobi Hiruzen's momentum, and then Sarutobi Hiruzen will be completely free from the constraints of Uchiha and Hyuga.

No one in the entire village will be able to threaten Sarutobi Hiruzen's rising power.

This is what Sarutobi Hiruzen really planned in his mind!

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart, no one could shake the mighty Konoha Sword at this moment.

Chapter 186: Transform into a Lovebird in the Sky

Moist Bone Forest.

Since Tsunade's injuries have not healed, Mizunoe Ryosuke and Tsunade are still lingering in the Wet Bone Forest.

Three days had passed since the day the two opened their hearts to each other.

Over the past three days, the two of them have gotten to know each other much better.

During this period, neither of them mentioned their respective identities, as if everything that had happened before had never happened and they were just ordinary friends.

Tsunade is no longer the Senju Princess of Konoha, and Ryosuke has also stepped down from the responsibility of the Fourth Mizukage.

The most common thing that happened every day was that Mizunoe Ryosuke told Tsunade all kinds of experiences and stories.

At this moment, the two were looking for food in the Wet Bone Forest.

For the past three days, the food the two of them ate the most was the mushrooms from the Wet Bone Forest.

The Wet Bone Forest is a very magical place. The air here is extremely humid, and misty fog often appears in the air.

Thanks to the moist environment of the wet bone forest, the fungi here are also extremely lush.

"Six Nine Zero"...

"In my hometown, people say that above the clouds, there is a place called 'Asgard'."

"That's where the gods live."

"Whether it's the morning glow or the evening glow, they're all brocade made by fairies."

"The wind, rain, and thunder are caused by an immortal casting a spell above the clouds."

Ryosuke casually picked a pure white mushroom from the ground and put it in the basket, then chuckled and slowly told Tsunade beside him the story from his previous life.

"Heaven?"

A glimmer of longing flashed in Tsunade's eyes.

"How do the immortals live?"

The topic that Ryosuke brought up aroused Tsunade's interest. She tilted her head and asked Ryosuke, with a hint of curiosity in her green eyes.

"The life of immortals may not be as beautiful as you imagine."

"Any immortal living in the Heavenly Palace must sever the seven emotions and six desires of being human."

"In addition, they have a lot of complicated work to do, and if they make mistakes in their work, they will be punished severely."

"One general was even banished to the mortal world simply for breaking the Jade Emperor's wine cup."

Mizunoe Ryosuke's story was like pouring cold water on Tsunade, shattering her beautiful fantasies.

"how so"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Tsunade's eyes. In her imagination, the heavenly palace where the immortals lived should be a romantic and carefree place.

"Then let me tell you a story."

"There is a fairy in the sky, she is the daughter of the Queen of Heaven, and her duty is to weave the clouds."

Mizunoe Ryosuke told Tsunade the legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", which was very popular in China in the previous life.

At first, Tsunade listened with great interest, thinking that it would be a happy ending where the fairy and the mortal would live carefree lives.

When Tsunade heard that the Weaver Girl was captured and imprisoned in Heaven, and that the Cowherd pursued her passionately but was blocked by the Milky Way drawn by the Queen Mother, she felt inexplicably depressed.

"Finally, the Queen Mother of Heaven only allowed the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to be together on the seventh day of the seventh month of each year."

"Riding the bridge built by magpies, we briefly meet to express our longing for each other."

As Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke, he walked slowly forward with a natural expression, but there was a hint of depth in his eyes.

“Why is this happening?”

Tsunade murmured softly, her green eyes filled with loss.

She gently bit her plump red lips with her pearly teeth and suddenly stopped where she was.

At this moment, Tsunade suddenly thought, isn't it the same for her and Mizunoe Ryosuke in front of her?

Aren’t the prejudices in the ninja world and the differences in camps a “river in the sky” separating the two people?

Could it be that their fate could only be like that of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in Ryosuke's story? They could only wish each other well after a long time, thanks to the charity of others.

Seeing Tsunade stop there, Mizunoe Ryosuke also stopped and turned his head to look at Tsunade with great concern.

"I"

Tsunade was about to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly didn't have the courage to say them.

"No, it's nothing."

Looking at Ryosuke who looked concerned, Tsunade could only respond with a forced smile.

"That's good"

Seeing this, although Ryosuke said it was okay, his eyes became more serious.

"We've almost finished picking mushrooms."

"Shall we go back?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke smiled and said to Tsunade beside him.

"it is good"

In response, Tsunade simply nodded slightly.

The two returned to the tree fort with ease. They had repeated this journey many times in the past few days.

In the tree fort, Ryosuke skillfully cleaned, processed and cooked the mushrooms he had picked.

On the other side, Tsunade stared blankly at Ryosuke busying himself.

While preparing dinner for the two of them, Mizunoe Ryosuke seemed to recall the day when he had the honor of tasting the food made by Tsunade...
