I sell sweets in Konoha

But...

In the end, everything was not as beautiful as imagined. Konoha led by him faced many crises, and he was submerged in the darkness and did not know whether he was eroded by the darkness or deceived by power.

The roots that were supposed to be the guardians of Konoha, maintaining the stability of the tree, were now becoming one of the dangers that could bring the tree down.It may even be the most serious crisis!Secretly funding Orochimaru's research, allowing Orochimaru to cooperate with outsiders to kill the Uchiha clan.

He even directly threatened his own safety.

The roots have become something that cannot be eradicated but must be guarded against.

When thinking of this, Sandai's heart inevitably feels a little sad!Gen is one of our own, and Konoha actually needs to be wary of our own!I really don’t know if it’s because I’m raising a tiger, or if my former best friend has changed too quickly.

Maybe there are both.

Sandai sighed, he gently pressed down his bamboo hat to cover his slightly sad eyes and walked into Gen.

He is still the Hokage of Konoha, and as long as he is still the Hokage, he will have unimpeded access to this place.

It's not hard to find his best friend. The last ninja war left a lot of wounds on him.And time is an unforgiving butcher's knife. At this moment, he is no longer as energetic as he used to be.More often than not, they stay in a fixed place and are unwilling to move.

The third generation soon found his best friend.

A room in the deepest part of Root Headquarters.

He sat on the futon seriously, with a small table in front of him. On the small table was a pot of tea, and an ordinary cloth bag was placed next to the tea cup.

The third generation took a look and saw small translucent balls of various colors inside.No need to think about it, all three generations can guess that it should be candy.I don’t know when this old guy got to enjoy the special candies specially provided by the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Waves.

Sandai walked to the tea table, pulled a futon over and crossed his legs to do it.

Without treating myself as an outsider at all, I stretched out my hand to grab a candy...

"Crack~"

What surprised Sandai was that his old friend, who was not very possessive at first, actually knocked his hand away and said in a very unhappy tone: "Who allowed you to touch this candy?"

'This old guy's words are really quite rude. 'The third generation was a little surprised. It's been a long time since this old guy spoke to him in this tone.Sandai took off his bamboo hat and said, "If I hadn't approved this special fund for you, would you have had candy to eat?"

"What a surprise." The third generation said with a questioning tone: "There are many candy sellers in Konoha Village, why do you have to go grab the special candy from the Land of Waves? What's so delicious about this stuff?"

It's not that he deliberately wanted to belittle anything, but that he really didn't feel the need.

He went to steal other people's candies despite damaging the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Are you a child?Danzo!

The third generation did not say this sentence, but he always felt that Danzo's current appearance did look like a little baby protecting food.

"Hmph." Danzo snorted coldly and said, "You came to see me just for such a trivial matter in the Country of Waves?"

"I gave my youth, my descendants, my eyes, and my arms to Konoha." Danzo said coldly: "For Konoha, I hid in the darkness incognito! This old man bled and sweated for Konoha. Yes, can’t you even eat gum?”

"Do I have to shed my blood, sweat and tears for Konoha?"

"That's not true." Sandai took back his hand and said, "Finance."

The country of waves?Who cares about the country of Waves?Konoha's finances were a big deal for the third generation.

"You can eat whatever you like, I don't care." Sandai said as if he really didn't care: "But just to have a bite of candy, you went through all the trouble to apply for special funds, and then went to threaten the country of waves. His name. Isn’t this a bit unreasonable?”

"Why doesn't Konoha have any candy for you?"

"Yes." Danzo picked up a candy and said slowly, as if showing off, licking it, asking for it, and tasting it in his mouth: "But I like to eat the ones specially provided by the Land of Waves. , why not?"

"..." The third generation was a little speechless. How come Danzo became like a little baby after not seeing him for a long time?

What is this!

"Aren't you afraid that I will cut off your research funding?" Sandai asked.

"The research funds are all given to the Daimyo of the Country of Waves." Danzo said very nonchalantly: "I don't keep any of it for myself, as for the candy. Do you think the Daimyo of the Country of Waves has the guts not to offer it to me?"

"It doesn't matter even if you break it off, it's not Danzo who will be embarrassed anyway!"

Well, this really doesn’t happen!With the strength of the Kingdom of Waves, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Waves really doesn’t have the guts.But the Daimyo of the Country of Waves is at least a relative of the Daimyo of the Country of Fire.Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. If the Daimyo of the Land of Waves always uses this matter to complain to him or the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

I really don’t know where to put this old face, and he is really not the one who disgraced Danzo.

"I can find you the best candy maker in the Land of Fire." Sandai said, "I will make it specially for you. If you want to eat it, just let them make the best one for you!"

"Nothing can be exchanged for gold!" Danzo briefly answered the three words of Sandai.

If you don’t change it, don’t even think about it.

"Really?" Sandai stared at Danzo's face, wanting to use his identity as Hokage to suppress it, but it seemed that Danzo had already prepared for this.My idea of ​​getting Danzo to give up would not work for a while.

"Okay." The third generation stood up as if giving up and said, "But I won't give up. You know Konoha has been under a lot of financial pressure recently."

Danzo didn't answer, didn't look at the third generation, and didn't even say a word. It was as if the third generation had never been here at all, and he didn't care about the third generation's departure at all.

candy?This old thing...

Danzo was about to eat one, but he found...

It seems...as if...should...definitely...

One candy is missing!

"That old bastard from the Third Generation!" Danzo suddenly became furious!

"How dare he steal my candy!"

Chapter 47 About Research Funding

"What day is today? Is it a class reunion?"

Danzo looked at the two Konoha consultants sitting in front of him angrily and said: "An old monkey left on the front foot, and two more consultants came on the back foot. Or maybe I am a little greedy today and want to steal from the old monkey. Candy?"

Konoha consultant, transferred to Koharu and Mito Monobu.

In theory, he is Danzo's political ally in Konoha, but everyone knows what politics is like.Political alliances are like Schrödinger's cat, a state of double superposition of alliance and betrayal.You never know whether your current allies will betray you again, and the same goes for political enemies.So although the two were his allies, Danzo didn't show any enthusiasm.

If there is anything good about it, it would probably be that they treat these two people slightly better than the third generation.

At least a cup of tea was given, albeit cold.

"I'm not interested in your candies." After sleeping, Xiaochun had no intention of looking at the candies. She sat upright and said, "I just want to advise you this time. As the leader of Gen, I met the third generation at the gate of Gen's base. Fighting is not the behavior of someone in a high position."

Danzo forced the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Waves to pay tribute to him. Almost everyone in the higher-ups didn't know about this.

The two Konoha consultants also turned a blind eye to this matter, but how can an individual not have a little hobby?The hobbies of some high-ranking people are really unspeakable things. Compared to this, Danzo's matter is really nothing.

It even gives people the illusion of being too normal.

However, even if the two Hokage advisors did not want to accuse Danzo of this hobby, they could not tolerate Danzo and the third generation fighting.It's not the kind of fight that uses ninjutsu, taijutsu, and illusion.They looked like little kids from common people fighting each other, hugging each other and wrestling together.Not to mention how embarrassing it is!

If you say you want to fight, then mean it!The two Hokage advisors don't have to worry about fighting. The third generation and the root leader are the two most powerful factions in Konoha!Only when two powerful factions fight to the death, people without real power like them have a chance to reap the benefits.

But in the current situation, you would say they were fighting like children fighting each other, scuffling together until they were covered in mud but not seriously injured, but they really fought again.You said there was no fight, but this was a real fight, not earth-shattering but enough to make Konoha Village a laughing stock.

Now the two Hokage advisors can't sit still. Why don't you two really start fighting if you can't be so cute?

"He stole my candy, shouldn't he be beaten?" Danzo said matter-of-factly, "How dare you fight back."

I touched the purple spot on my face, and I got really angry the more I thought about it.I was beaten purple when I didn't say anything back after a piece of candy was stolen. I really felt a bit intolerable.

"It's just a piece of candy." Mito Kaden wanted to say something more extreme, but a piece of candy really couldn't be the reason to provoke a conflict between the third generation and Danzo.He could only say, as if to persuade the two of them to reconcile, "What about it?"

"I remember these candies were made by the girl with Uchiha and Senju blood, right?" Mito Kadoren stretched out his hand to prepare the piece of candy.

But under Danzo's murderous look, he decided to forget it. He was not the third generation. Looking at that look, he felt that he might not be as restrained as he was to the third generation.

"Speaking of those two girls." Xiaochun said after going to bed: "What are you going to do with them? Bring them back and keep them under supervision? Or send someone out to avoid future troubles?"

"Although they have the blood of the first generation, they are members of the Uchiha clan after all. Letting those two girls out will be a disaster."

"If you can't bring them back, just take the eyes and cells..."

As Koharu went to bed, she felt Mito Monopoly around her poking her, and then she stopped and glanced at Danzo.Just one glance, and her heart suddenly hit rock bottom.

What is your relationship with Danzo?From a distant perspective, they are classmates and comrades-in-arms, and from a closer perspective, they are political allies.

But...

Why does he have such a look in his eyes?She wanted to stab her eyes, even if she squinted her eyes, even if she didn't look at herself, even if she lowered her head slightly, she could still feel Danzo's hidden murderous intention towards her when she went to bed.

If he continues to talk like this, he might really kill him!

Kill yourself?Why? !

"They are the Uchiha clan." Koharu turned to bed and asked with a frown, "You should know, right?"

"Of course I know." Danzo picked up a candy, put it in his mouth, tasted it and said, "But they also have the blood of the first generation of adults."

"It is precisely because they have the blood of the first generation that it is best to bring them back and supervise them." Xiaochun said after moving to bed.

"What if they don't want to make candies when they come back?" Danzo asked a question very straightforwardly that Koharu had never thought about when he moved to bed: "They are Tsunade's daughters. They not only integrate Tsunade's combat power. They may also inherit Tsunade's stubborn temper, what if they themselves are unwilling to return to the village for the time being?"

"They are from the Uchiha clan. They are born to be dangerous, and they are born to be able to..." Koharu just started to speak after sleeping.

"Crack~" Danzo bit into the candy and made a crunching sound.

"You are born a traitor, an ominous clan?" Danzo said with a sly smile: "Is it enough to bring back eyes and cells?"

Xiaochun didn't answer when he went to bed.

"The first generation and the second generation are our masters, you won't forget, right?" Danzo said coldly: "If you are just an old fool, I can pretend that you haven't said anything. But if this is you true thoughts.”

"Go to bed Xiaochun, I don't mind cleaning up the house for the teacher!"

Danzo knew in his heart that even if he didn't have candy, he couldn't touch them easily.The great-grandson of the first generation was their magic weapon to protect themselves. If they touched them for three generations, they would have enough reason to attack the root of his obsession and threat to Konoha's security.

This old woman has no good intentions.

"If that's what you want to say." Danzo put away his candy and said, "Then please go back. I don't have time to talk to Alzheimer's patients."

In the Hokage building, the third generation was holding the fiscal budget for the new quarter and was still unable to write.The increasing proportion of research funding is something he has to pay more attention to.

Obviously he wanted to approve it, but if the daimyo asked, he might have to bear the blame, but he never took away a single candy.

And that old guy Danzo actually kept some good stuff secretly!

Will this budget be approved?If it is approved, you will get half of the candies submitted by the Kingdom of Waves, right?Well, half is not too much.

Should I use my rights to purchase some directly?

Thinking about this problem, the Third Generation had a huge advantage over Danzo himself.He is a person who stands in the light, and it is too easy to make up a reason to set up a purchase.And daily expenses do include the consumption of candy, snacks and drinks.So it’s not too much to add a little bit here, right?

But if Danzo finds out about this, then the old man will most likely come over to get some food, right?

He didn't even let me rub him, so why should I let this old man rub him?

The third generation was just thinking about making up some serious reason to get some special candies for himself, when the door to the Hokage's office opened.Danzo walked in with a gloomy face and sat on the sofa without saying a word.

"It's Danzo~" Sandai put down his pen and picked up tea and said, "This is the time when a night owl enters the house and goes to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing."

The corner of Sandai's mouth twitched, and there were marks on his mouth from the fight Danzo had just done.

"Two advisors just came to see me." Danzo said with a gloomy face, "Do you know what they just said?"

"It's just a fight." The third generation didn't take it to heart. The two guys who just watched the fun and didn't think it was a big deal probably would come looking for him after Danzo left.

"About those two girls," Danzo said.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly solidified.

Sandai's hand holding the teacup actually froze there for a moment. After being stiff for a while, he took a sip of tea and then put down the teacup and said, "What do you think?"

"This matter should not be delayed for a long time." Danzo said: "The longer it goes, the more likely it is that more incidents will happen. Their bloodline is really too tempting. Judging from the current situation, their strength is good and enough to protect themselves. But they lack With enough protection, it is inevitable that some people will become unable to sit still and take risks."

"And by that time Konoha's position will become very awkward."

"Recently?" Sandai asked.

"Rush actions will surely arouse their resentment." Danzo said: "Move forward steadily and with good intentions."

It is true that I can't remember this matter, but looking at Danzo's appearance, it can be considered that he has a plan, even if he is confident.

"Choice?" Sandai asked again.

"Sasuke." Danzo said calmly, "It's appropriate."

Indeed, there seems to be no more suitable candidate than Sasuke, the last Uchiha in Konoha. He will definitely want to know the news about those two people.

And since they are both members of the Uchiha clan, there will be a natural foundation of friendship between them.

"What happened to the research funding?" Danzo asked again: "They are going to shoot a movie recently. If they can't start it as soon as possible and finish it as soon as possible, they will have to wait for the next meal. how long."
