"Sandaime sama, what do you think of this matter?"
In the Hokage's office, Minato was standing there, and he asked the old man in front of him.
The expression on his face was slightly relaxed, and he didn't have the tense feeling he had in the meeting room.
Hearing his words, Sarutobi, who has stepped down as the Hokage's advisor, gently took a puff from the pipe in his hand, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with a hoarse voice.
"In any case, Shoutsuki is the grandson of the First Hokage, and it's only a position in the Wood Leaf Guard, and it's reasonable."
Hearing Sarutobi's words, Minato gently nodded, and looked at him with his blue eyes, and whispered respectfully.
"You're right, I think so too."
"Although Shoutsuki joined Las Noches before, he made the right choice in the end, and his performance over the years has been very satisfactory."
Speaking of this, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he hesitated for a moment, and whispered.
"It's just … In this meeting, some people in the village don't seem to want to see Shoutsuki participate in the affairs of the Wood Leaf Guard again."
"Among them, including Kurumu and Takechuan, they have all raised objections, and their will is very firm."
Hearing Minato's words, Sarutobi's eyes became slightly dignified, and he slowly said with a hoarse voice.
"Is that so …"
"This is a bit troublesome …"
Minato gently nodded and said slowly.
"This meeting, thanks to Hiashi-sama's words, everyone recognized Shoutsuki as the leader of the Wood Leaf Guard."
"Although the meeting passed, but … The Kurumu and the Takechuan Clan are currently controlling the production of biological medicines and defensive equipment in the village."
Speaking of this, Sarutobi's eyes were slightly dignified, and he whispered.
"I'm worried that in the future, these two families will interfere in this matter in other ways …"
"When the time comes, if it causes any trouble, it'll be really difficult to deal with …"
Hearing his words, Sarutobi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said in a deep voice.
"No matter what, they're still members of the Wood Leaf Guard, if they really do such a thing, they won't be easily forgiven!"
After that, he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and his voice was a little heavy.
"In fact, it's not them, it's Shoutsuki …"
Hearing Sarutobi's words, Minato was stunned, and he was a little confused.
"Shoutsuki!?"
"Sandaime, didn't you …"
Yuan Fei gently shook his head, interrupting Minato's next words. His eyes slowly looked out of the window, his voice hoarse.
"Minato, you need to know that no matter what Rope Tree did, he is still the grandson of the first generation …"
"Shoutsuki, Shoutsuki …"
"Shoutsuki, Shoutsuki, Shoutsuki, and Shoutsuki's, Shoutsuki's's's ….
"As generations of Hokage, what we have to do is more like fulfilling the unfinished wishes of the first Hokage."
. said said said said said said slowly....
"Shoutsuki …"
Shoutsutobi's name's Shoutsuki. '' ''s''s's.
"Minato, you are an excellent child. Even compared to the Kage of your ancestors, you are not inferior to them."
"But … if I have to choose between you and Shoutsuki …"
"I'll still choose Shoutsuki as Hokage, and even the whole village will choose him … Do you understand …?"
Hearing Sarutobi's words, Minato didn't show the slightest anger, he just nodded.
"Sandaime, I understand what you mean."
"If it was me, I'm afraid I'll choose Shoutsuki, that's a matter of course …"
In response, Yuan Fei's wrinkled face revealed an apologetic expression as he lightly nodded his head.
Then he reached out and patted Minato's shoulder, and said softly.
"You're an understanding child, Minato. I'm really ashamed to tell you such a cruel truth, but this old man really has to say it …"
Hearing this, Minato hurriedly replied.
"Sandaime, you don't have to …."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yuan Fei waved his hand and continued with a solemn look in his eyes.
"However, what really worries this old man is Rope Tree's thoughts …"
Hearing this, Minato had some doubts in his eyes and asked softly.
"Shoutsuki's idea?"
Yuan Fei took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke as he slowly said in a hoarse voice.
"Just as Jiumu said, Rope Tree has never mentioned anything about participating in the affairs of the village over the years. Why did he suddenly have this idea after a mission …"
Speaking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"To be honest, even if Shoutsuki wants to be the next Hokage, whether it's Koharu or Homura, they would agree."
"Even this old man would only agree …"
"However, this leads to the most worrisome problem."
"Shoutsuki used to follow Aizen for many years …"
Sarutobi's eyes were full of nostalgia, and he said slowly.
"Minato, you should still remember Aizen's attitude …"
Hearing Sarutobi's words, Minato's mind was filled with a confident smile that brought confidence and warmth to everyone.
He froze for a moment, then his eyes narrowed, and he nodded gently.
Sarutobi's eyes narrowed slightly, and through the smoke in front of him, his eyes looked as if he was looking at Aizen, and he slowly said.
"Aizen used to be so dazzling, so Shoutsuki will more or less be influenced …"
"It doesn't matter if it's a subtle influence, or if he admires Aizen, his thoughts will definitely be affected by Aizen's ideas."
"Of course, even I am not qualified to deny Aizen's ideas …"
"But … I know that the idea of going against the whole world is not something that Hokage can have!"
Hearing Sarutobi's words, Minato's eyes narrowed slightly.
At this time, Sarutobi's face was a little heavy, and the frequency of smoking increased slightly, and his voice was hoarse.
"That's what I'm worried about …"
"I can't stop Shoutsuki from inheriting the position of Hokage, but I'm worried that he has terrible ideas from Aizen …"
When he said this, even his skinny hands trembled slightly, and he murmured in a low voice.
"What's even more worrying is …"
"The fundamental reason why Shoutsuki changed from not caring about the village's affairs to the current situation …"
"Is Aizen … really dead …?"
Hearing the third generation leader's hoarse and somewhat low voice, even Shui Men's pupils couldn't help but constrict.
In the office, both of them were in the smoke, and they were silent for a long time.
Minato slowly raised his head, looked at Sarutobi, and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Sandaime, from today onwards … I will take care of Shoutsuki san …"
Hearing his words, Sarutobi slowly looked at him, and his wrinkled face showed a touch of shame, and he patted him on the shoulder and murmured.
"Minato, I'm sorry to let you bear this burden …"
