Chapter 113 - The good show is officially stagedInside the Conference Hall.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the main seat. He looked around the core staff in front.
There are Clan Leaders of the Noble Clans of Konoha, a group of Jonin, 3 old close friends, Jiraiya, and the important members of the various sections in charge, etc. His gaze slowly swept past everyone.
In front of this group of guys with ghosts in their hearts, each and everyone was uncomfortable by his eyes. They were all embarrassed to look at him, and some even deliberately avoided his eyes. However, The three old close friends with thick skins still looked at him with confidence, and they didn’t care about his gaze.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura even showed kind smiles.
The corner of Sarutobi’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch.
‘This group of guys!’
‘Everyone present had never thought of saving me!’
‘Not a single one!’
Recalling the past, before, each and everyone shouted Hokage. Now this made him shiver.
‘I have done my best for Konoha for decades, but this is the result in exchange.’
Initially, he wanted to settle the accounts, but after thinking about it
 forget it.
‘Finding a reason to punish this group of guys, at best they will be angry, and it doesn’t help the whole situation.’
‘I’m dozens or hundreds of years old, and I don’t know how much time is left.’
What concerns him most now is the “hidden danger” that his apprentice Orochimaru said! He was very familiar with the character of his apprentice, and he could feel that this apprentice really wanted to kill him at the time. He also had the ability to do it

Now his only hope is to find all the “hidden dangers” of Konoha in his lifetime and then solve them one by one. Fortunately, after his death, he will have an explanation for Konoha.
Today, it doesn’t matter whether he wants to stand by the three old friends and become more ruthless or help the younger generation clear the obstacles of the three old friends. The matter has developed to the present, and the contradiction between the two sides has become greater and greater.
The younger generation does not agree with the older generation, and each and everyone wants to leave Konoha.
Meanwhile, the older generation insisted on their own practices.
No matter who he stands by, Konoha has to pay a very high price.
This is not the result he wants to see.
Perhaps this is also one of the “hidden dangers” Orochimaru said

But on this issue, he can only try to ease the relationship between the two sides.
That’s it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s fierce gaze relaxed. For some things, it is enough to give it a little while, and you can’t do too much.
The atmosphere at the scene became less dignified.
Seeing the aged Third-Hokage, there is no plan to settle accounts after fall; everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.
It is the beginning of each and every one in deadly earnest meeting.
They were too busy before, and they had to appease the villagers, Daimyo, etc., which caused them to report the post-war data that was not so careful.
This time it was much more careful, each clan representative reporting the loss of their clans. Then there are some cumbersome things such as how many casualties the villagers have, how much money they have lost, how much they need to compensate, etc.
Next is to assign missions to everyone in the leadership class present.
Finally, he asked the opinions of the people present, how to face Suna Village and other Ninja Villages issues in the future.
After everything is discussed, this group of talents leaves after one.
Shimura Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu were the last to stand up. They came to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Mitokado Homura: “Hiruzen, Sure enough, the sword is not old! If you were to resist the strongest military force on the other side, the village might lose a lot this time.”
Utatane Koharu: “Yes. Sure enough, I lived up to our trust in you!”
This time, not only Sarutobi Hiruzen but even Shimura Danzo scorned these 2 guys.
Shimura Danzo just glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said nothing. His left eye squinted slightly, and then he left the Conference Hall.
And in the huge Conference Hall, there are only 2 people left.
Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his attention to Jiraiya with a complicated expression. Throughout the meeting, Jiraiya was absent-minded, and it was even more difficult to leave at the end of the meeting.
He saw all these in Jiraiya’s eyes, and he also understood what this discipline was thinking.
No matter how disappointed he was with this discipline, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t show it. It still had that kind appearance. Because of this expression, Jiraiya felt uncomfortable.
Finally, Jiraiya clenched his teeth and stood up. He finally had the courage to say something.
But it was interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen again: “Jiraiya, don’t mention the past things. This old fogey, do not at all blame you.”
Jiraiya was speechless for a while, and his heart was even more guilty.
“Hey~, Jiraiya, sit down.” Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
“This
” Jiraiya hesitated.
“Please sit down!” Sarutobi Hiruzen pretended to be dissatisfied.
Jiraiya sat down slowly; his expression was like sitting on a pinboard.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked towards the scenery beyond the window in the distance, as if recalling the past: “Hey~ us, as master and disciple, I don’t know how long we haven’t sat quietly and chatted.”
“Old fogey
 I
” Jiraiya said.
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand: “No need to say more. I know everything. It seems that this old fogey
 is really old, and it is no longer useful. Cough, cough, cough, cough!” He didn’t forget to put on a look of old age and decay.
Jiraiya quickly helped.
Sarutobi Hiruzen pushed Jiraiya’s hand away, gestured ‘I’m fine’, and immediately solemnly said: “Jiraiya, do you
 want to be Hokage?”
“This!” Jiraiya’s expression was startled, “Old fogey, why are you asking this? Aren’t you acting well?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen was dissatisfied again: “Don’t talk nonsense! You just tell me, are you willing or not?”
Jiraiya: “Hey~ old fogey, you know me
 This Hokage, I really can’t do it
”
Next, a scene of filial piety of teachers and disciples was staged in the Conference Hall.
Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to persuade Jiraiya to serve as Hokage.
Jiraiya praised Sarutobi Hiruzen’s strong body and kept pushing away.
In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to wave his hand: “Well, since you are not willing to take over Hokage’s position, then you have to find a way to find Tsunade to come back. Just say that the old fogey was badly injured by Orochimaru. Let her come back to take over the Hokage position.”
Seeing he couldn’t escape, in desperation, Jiraiya had to accept the commission.
Go to find Tsunade and come back to take the place of this Hokage.
As for Naruto, ‘Child of the Prophecy’
 He can only think of a solution after he comes back.
When Jiraiya left, only Sarutobi Hiruzen was left in the big Conference Hall, seemingly sick, a world beyond the red dust of living.
No one knew what he was thinking.



At the same time.
The week after the war, Naruto finally no longer needs to look at people with a mask. After saying goodbye to Gaara and the others, his first thing was to look for Hinata and ask questions.
The situation at the time was as follows:
Naruto waited at Hyuga Clan’s Residence for a long time until Hinata came out from home. But as soon as he stepped forward, he was stopped by Hinata’s guard.
Hinata shouted at the guard and told the guard to return.
The expression of lukewarmness ushered in.
Hinata: “Naruto, what’s wrong? You’re looking for me?”
when Naruto saw this expression, he couldn’t speak anymore. Naruto said desperately, “No
 nothing. I just wanted to come over and see you, and I haven’t seen you for so many years. Let’s see when you are free. How about we go out for a meal together?”
Hinata: “Okay, let’s make an appointment with Sasuke. You can make an appointment with Sasuke and ask him to tell me.”
Naruto looked at Hinata, silent.
Hinata: “What’s wrong, Naruto? Do you have anything else?”
Naruto returned to his senses: “Oh, no, no. I won’t bother you anymore. Go ahead and do your job.”
Hinata nodded, turned around, and left.
Naruto looked at the back of her departure, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
When he was young, he was not sensible. He doesn’t understand what it means to get tired with Hinata all day long and hold Hinata’s little hand. But now that he has grown up, Naruto certainly understands what Hinata was thinking about. He thought that as long as she saw him, the relationship between the two would return to that closeness.
But he didn’t expect this result.
‘Hinata
’
‘Is it really impossible to go back to the past?’
‘Hinata really forgot me?’
No! It can’t be!’
‘There must be a reason why Hinata is like this!’
After Li Yaoxiang’s training over the years, Naruto is not an airhead. He will not be easily fooled by what he sees on the surface.
He didn’t give up in the next few days. He still appeared in front of Hinata, intentionally or unintentionally. Even so, he could not find anything wrong

Just when he was about to give up and was about to accept the cruel fact that ‘Hinata has forgotten him’, he suddenly came across a mountain road that twists around each new peak!
Thinking of missing the taste of the past, he bought a 3-color onigiri to invite Hinata to eat.
It is a formal farewell to the past sentiment.
But she didn’t want to. When Hinata saw the split second of the 3-color onigiri, she finally had a strange look!
Although this strange thing just passed away, Naruto still caught it!
Naruto grabbed Hinata’s shoulders violently and said, “Hinata, are you hiding something from me? You deliberately ignored me, right? Hinata, you don’t have to do this! Can’t we solve the problem together? I’ve become stronger now! Ask me. I won’t be troubled!”
Seeing that this rascal dared to act on his eldest lady so presumptuously and the guard who was waiting in the distance, how could he bear it now?! He appeared next to Hinata in a flash, and he shot his palm at Naruto’s shoulder.
Hinata immediately hugged Naruto and body-blocked the palm for Naruto! Hinata coughed slightly, and a trace of blood ran out of the corner of her mouth.
Naruto: “Hinata!”
Guard: “Eldest Young Lady!”
“You’re looking for death!” Looking at Hinata, Naruto turned his head fiercely to stare at the guard, orange and transparent Chakra, and quickly emerged from Naruto’s body! Even his appearance has gradually shifted to the beast-shaped!
Also, at this time, Hinata pushed away Naruto: “It’s alright, Naruto. It’s none of your business.”
With Chakras coat retracted, Naruto said: “Hinata, you
”
Hinata shook her head and interrupted: “Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing to hide from you.”
Naruto: “Then you! Again
”
Hinata: “I just don’t want to see someone innocently hurt by my guards. Even if it is someone else, I will definitely stop it.”
Naruto: “
”
Hinata wiped the blood on the corners of her mouth: “Naruto, I understand your kindness. As for the 3-color onigiri
 I grew up from it, and I rarely eat it anymore. Sorry.”
Hinata stopped taking care of Naruto and let the escort help her back to treatment.
Naruto’s mood became complicated again.
‘Don’t tell me

.. am I wrong?’



At the same time, a waterfall somewhere near Konoha Village.
The sound of the waterfall clashed. But even so, there is still no way to cover the sound of Sasuke standing on the water, facing the cliff in the waterfall!
It’s been a week!
After waiting for a week, Naruto’s damned ‘big brother’ did not respond to him! And now, he was upset when he saw Naruto!
Even when Naruto invited him to go out with Hinata for a party, he ruthlessly rejected it. –It also led to the end of the party before it even started.
Today, Sasuke is venting wildly here! He tried to vent the anger in his heart on this cliff!
But finally, after so long, Li Yaoxiang’s voice sounded in his mind. Suddenly, Sasuke stopped and expressed his happiness!
‘The voice in my head finally appeared!’
But he was full of anger in his heart. He soon revealed the sinister expression, shouting directly inside the waterfall: “You are finally willing to appear?! Didn’t you say that as long as I do things for you, you will avenge me?! How long has it been?! 6 years! It’s been 6 years! Was it that if I didn’t do that to Naruto that day, and you didn’t plan to show up?! Or have you been fooling me?!”
After saying that, Sasuke’s complexion changed from stern to surprise, and then from surprise to surprise, and finally became dignified and complicated.
Sasuke: “Why do you do this! What is your purpose! Also, what does this have to do with my revenge!”
Not long after this question was asked, Sasuke slapped angrily on the water again.
‘Damn it!’
‘No answer!’
Immediately, Sasuke showed an indecisive expression
