Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching - Chapter 679

c674 Relinquish the throne?

After the battle, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his party returned to Konoha secretly.

Due to the short time, only a few people knew that the Hokage had gone out.

Among those who knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen had left the village, only a few knew why Sarutobi Hiruzen had left the village.

“Alas.”

Looking at the prosperous streets of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who returned to Konoha in disguise, sighed softly.

The Third Ninja World War ended, and Konoha gained a lot of benefits as the victor.

This should have been the beginning of Konoha’s new peak, but because of his mistakes, uncertainty arose.

“Huruzen, go home and have a good rest. As long as we are still here, Konoha will continue to prosper and become strong.” Mito Kado En saw this and comforted him.

He could understand Sarutobi Hiruzen’s mood.

Sarutobi Hiruzen made the plan to fight Sosuke despite the opposition of the other three senior officials, but such an accident happened. He must be full of regret and guilt.

This time was really dangerous. If Sosuke hadn’t chosen to stop, most of them would have died at the border.

If it weren’t for the fact that Sarutobi Hiruzen was defeated so miserably, Mito Kado En would have wanted to say something to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he would have almost made a big mistake.

“With us in Konoha, can Konoha be prosperous and strong…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a complicated expression and walked towards the Hokage Building.

“It’s just afternoon now, how can I have time to rest? I’m going to the Hokage Building to handle business.”

Everyone is at work at this time, how can he, a person who made a mistake, go home and rest at this time.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen going to the Hokage Building, Mito Kado En had to follow him.

The Hokage took the initiative to go to work, so how could he, as a consultant, go home.

When they reached the floor where the consultant’s office was located, the two happened to meet Utatane Koharu who was walking out of the office.

“En, Hiruzen, you are back.” Utatane Koharu greeted the two as usual, and didn’t think there was anything wrong with the two appearing in the Hokage Building.

After all, it was not a very troublesome thing for them to leave the village this time, so there was no need to contact her in advance.

“What’s the situation with the Ninja Clan? Have they completely torn their faces apart because of Sosuke’s death?” Utane Koharu asked casually.

In her opinion, it was a sure thing for Sarutobi Hiruzen to kill Sosuke. The only thing to worry about was whether the Ninja Clan would want to fight with Konoha because of this.

“Huh?”

Looking at the silent Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utane Koharu was a little confused.

“Did something unexpected happen?”

“Ahem.” Seeing Utane Koharu dancing wildly in the minefield, Mito Kado En coughed twice to attract Utane Koharu’s attention.

“Koharu, I have something to discuss with you. Let’s go to the office to talk.”

If Utane Koharu continued to talk, Mito Kado En was worried that Sarutobi Hiruzen would not be able to sleep at night.

“Okay.” Utane Koharu nodded.

Although she didn’t know what happened, Utane Koharu was not stupid and could see that something bad had happened.

“Let’s talk in my office.” Just as Mizuto Kado En and Utatane Koharu were about to leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke.

“It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about.”

Mizuto Kado En wanted to talk to Utatane Koharu alone, so that he could save some face for Sarutobi Hiruzen, but since Sarutobi Hiruzen said so, he could only nod.

Then the three of them went to the Hokage’s office together.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to open the wooden door of the Hokage’s office and sat on the only office chair in the office, while Mizuto Kado En and Utatane Koharu stood in front of the desk.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out his pipe and lit it, took a deep breath and exhaled the thick white mist, then said: “I lost the battle.”

Utatane Koharu showed an extremely surprised expression, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and subconsciously looked at Mizuto Kado En.

Seeing Mizuto Kado En nodding with a helpless expression, Utatane Koharu was sure that he had not heard it wrong, and this was the fact.

“Hiruzen, it’s okay. After all, you are not young anymore. Sosuke is young and strong, which is an advantage.” Utatane Koharu carefully comforted her.

“It has nothing to do with age. Sosuke is very strong, far better than me.” Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

If he was just defeated by a narrow margin, and was only a little behind Sosuke, he might be able to use this reason to save his face.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. Sarutobi Hiruzen was almost crushed by Sosuke. He didn’t even touch Sosuke.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t want to find an excuse to belittle Sosuke. This is not only a disrespect for Sosuke’s strength, but also a denial of himself.

“Koharu, Sosuke is far more complicated than you think. If you have to compare, I’m afraid only the first generation and Uchiha Madara can beat him.” Mito Kado En explained.

Utatane Koharu’s pupils shrank suddenly, and she instantly understood the horror of Sosuke’s strength.

Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara are the only two recognized legendary ninjas in the ninja world. This legend is not something that the three legendary ninjas can copy. It is a ninja legend that is truly engraved in the history of various countries.

She finally understood why Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent when they were on other floors.

Your teammates thought you won, but in fact you lost miserably. How can you say that?

Utatane Koharu was worried about stepping on a landmine again and didn’t want to talk. Mito Kado En didn’t know what to say, and the atmosphere became a little silent for a while.

“I want to pass the position of Hokage to Mu Yue.” Sarutobi Hiruzen said after a moment of silence.

He felt that he had lost his qualifications as a Hokage and was not suitable to be a Hokage anymore.

Mizuto Kado En said that the main responsibility for this matter lies with Shimura Danzo, but Sarutobi Hiruzen knows in his heart that even if it is Shimura Danzo’s fault, he cannot escape the responsibility.

If he had not been particularly tolerant of Shimura Danzo before and ignored some of his mistakes, how could Shimura Danzo dare to do such a thing.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen is ready to change his plan and pass the throne to Mu Yue in advance.

However, in order not to affect Mu Yue’s training, Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks that he can retire later, continue to shine in the upper echelons after abdication, and share more pressure for Mu Yue.

“Why is it so.” Mizuto Kado En hurriedly advised.

Sarutobi Hiruzen made a mistake, but in Mizuto Kado En’s opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen does not need to abdicate for this mistake.

In the battle with Sosuke, no ninja of Konoha died, and the loss was only in theory.

“Mu Yue is still too young. It would be better for him to stay in the position of assistant for a few more years. Hiruzen, you can’t look down on yourself because of a failure.”

“That’s right. Konoha is in a critical period of development. It needs you, an experienced Hokage, to take the helm more than a new Hokage.” Utatane Koharu followed.

She didn’t want Sarutobi Hiruzen to abdicate now, both in public and private.

“Youth is young, but Mu Yue has the ability to convince others. As for the issue of experience, how can you have experience if you don’t do it, and we are watching you.” Sarutobi Hiruzen retorted.

The reason why he decided to pass on the throne is because Mu Yue’s performance is too good. Even if he passes the throne to Mu Yue now, there will be no opposition in Konoha.

“Huruzen, you can’t do it alone again. You must fully consider everyone’s opinions.” Utatane Koharu was a little anxious.

This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not refute Utatane Koharu, but fell into deep thought.

Indeed, the battle with Sosuke was the result of his willful behavior.

Will his persistence be correct this time? Sarutobi Hiruzen was not sure.

“Although Koharu’s words were a bit extreme, they were indeed reasonable. Hiruzen, don’t make a decision easily. Think about it carefully.” Mito Kado En also continued.

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed hesitation, and finally let go and said, “I’ll think about it.”

Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu breathed a sigh of relief.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had been handling affairs in the Hokage’s office until seven o’clock in the evening before returning.

“You’re back. Thank you for your hard work. I’ll go heat up the food for you.” Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen coming back, Sarutobi Biwako stood up and said.

At six o’clock, she and Asuma had finished dinner.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, took off the Hokage’s hat and coat, and walked to the room to get a set of casual clothes to take a bath in the bathroom.

He was still wearing the combat uniform he wore for missions and battles.

“Leaving the village? Did something big happen?” Asuma heard footsteps coming over and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen who had not yet entered the room.

He was very clear that the Hokage needed to stay in Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, but did not answer Asuma’s words.

How could he say this? Your old father went to fight others without knowing his own strength, and was crushed?

Or was he so willful at his age that he caused a big trouble for Konoha.

Facing an old friend who knew about it, Koharu Utatane, Sarutobi Hiruzen could admit his mistakes without shirking responsibility.

Facing Mu Yue, the future Hokage he was optimistic about, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also willing to tell the truth.

But Asuma was his son, and a son who had some minor conflicts with him. If he told this, would he still be respected by Asuma in the future?

“This is a secret of Konoha.” Sarutobi Hiruzen replied.

“You can’t say it earlier.” Asuma rolled his eyes.

He was just worried about Sarutobi Hiruzen’s abnormal appearance, but he spent so much time brewing a secret.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the door and just as he was about to go in, he thought of something and looked at Asuma and asked:

“What do you think of my performance as Hokage?”

“Not very good. My suggestion is to abdicate as soon as possible and let Mu Yue teacher be the Hokage.” Asuma answered without thinking.

“Is that so…”

Asuma saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen actually showed a thoughtful expression, and thought about it and changed his words:

“Of course, saying not very good does not mean that it is very bad, but I feel that Mu Yue teacher will do better as Hokage.”

Asuma evaluated from an objective point of view, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s performance was not bad. If it was bad, there would not be so many people supporting him in Konoha, and so many ninjas would want to become Hokage from the bottom of their hearts.

“Mu Yue has never been a Hokage, how can you have this feeling?” Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

He really should fully absorb more people’s opinions.

“Because Mu Yue teacher does everything very well, whether it is teaching in the ninja school, organizing training, or serving as a battlefield commander.” Asuma counted Mu Yue’s various contributions.

“Is it possible that Mu Yue-sensei is not doing a good job as the Hokage’s assistant now?” Asuma asked back.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. Of course not. Mu Yue gave him a very skilled feeling. Maybe this is a versatile talent.

It can’t be that she was trained as a leader in the ninja school. This is too outrageous.

“That’s it. Mu Yue-sensei is so young and can do a good job as the Hokage’s assistant. Why can’t she be a good Hokage?

When the second generation served as the Hokage’s assistant, he did the Hokage’s work in the name of assistant. It can be seen that it is completely possible for an excellent Hokage assistant to serve as the Hokage.” Asuma said confidently.

“These are two different things.” Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed dumbly.

It’s nonsense to let the first generation handle government affairs alone. Senju Hashirama has many advantages, but also many disadvantages.

“Anyway, if you ask me about the Hokage, I can only say that I must choose Mu Yue teacher!” Asuma stated his position.

“Then you should go to see your Mu Yue teacher more often. Maybe he won’t have so much time to see you in the future.” Sarutobi Hiruzen walked into the room to choose clothes.

Asuma’s eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly followed him in and asked, “Are you really going to pass on the throne?”

He was not sleepy when he said this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Asuma with a black line. Is your old father’s abdication worth your happiness?

Just now he said he did a good job.

“Don’t guess blindly. I don’t know myself, and you still guessed it.” Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he opened the closet.

Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu were too determined to oppose it, and he hadn’t thought it through yet.

“Hehe, if I say that Dad, it’s really right for you to pass on the throne to Mu Yue. Mu Yue was promoted by you back then. This is a wise eye for pearls.” Asuma praised without any usual behavior.

The corners of Sarutobi Hiruzen’s mouth twitched. He changed his face so quickly. He had just been scolding him not long ago.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen still ignored Asuma, packed his clothes and went to take a bath.

“Tsk.” Asuma, who was ignored, returned to his normal attitude towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After taking a bath, Sarutobi Hiruzen started to eat.

Although Sarutobi Biwako didn’t eat, he also sat at the table to accompany Sarutobi Hiruzen and poured tea and water for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“What do you think of Mu Yue?” Sarutobi Hiruzen asked after eating half full.

“I won’t express my opinion casually. I don’t know him very well, but as far as I know, he is a teacher who is respected by students.” Sarutobi Biwako said after recalling for a moment.

She didn’t have much contact with Mu Yue. She just said a few words out of politeness, but Sarutobi Biwako had a good impression of Mu Yue.

After being taught by Mu Yue, Asuma not only improved his strength faster, but also became more sensible.

In addition to Asuma, a case she experienced personally, Sarutobi Biwako also heard about Mu Yue from other Sarutobi tribe members, and they basically praised her in various ways.

Among them, the students taught by Mu Yue, whether they were Genin under ten years old or adult Jonin, all had great respect for Mu Yue.

Sarutobi Biwako felt that someone who could be recognized by so many people would not be bad in any way.

“Yeah.” Sarutobi Hiruzen probably understood Sarutobi Biwako’s opinion of Mu Yue.

Although he didn’t praise her explicitly, it was already a good evaluation for someone with Sarutobi Biwako’s personality.

PS:

This was yesterday’s update, and there will be more today.

Maybe I have had too little sleep recently. I was so sleepy while typing yesterday that I fainted directly when I touched the bed.

I got up and was not satisfied with what I wrote last night. I revised and deleted two thousand words until now.

Sorry everyone.
