Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 68 Responsibilities
"Come to visit the Third Generation. This is a gift."

The woman reached out and took the package, opened it, took a look at it, then folded it up again and handed it back. There was no expression on her masked face, and she replied calmly:

"Wait a moment, I will inform the Third Generation."

In name, the Sandaime is already an old man without a position, but in fact, it is naturally impossible to meet him casually like ordinary people, and the required procedures still need to be followed.

Tetsuya waited patiently for 2 minutes.

"follow me."

Uoyuki Xiyan came back quickly and led Tetsuya through the corridor to the third generation.

The third generation still had the same posture, lying on the rocking chair and chewing a pipe, with some tea and snacks beside him, swaying gently like an old man enjoying his old age, seemingly leisurely and contented.

"Tetsuya is here, sit down, if you remember to come and take a look at my old bones, I will be very happy."

He's clearly having fun.

"This is a gift. The Third Generation can use it to relieve your boredom."

Zhe also sat down cross-legged at the table, put the package in his hand on it and said.

"Oh, let me see."

Taking out a book of Making Love with Heaven, Sandai looked at the colorful cover, opened the book and read a few pages, and laughed:
"Jiraiya, I used to think that stories written in this kind of writing were not straightforward. Well, now it seems that it still has a different taste. Okay! I like this gift very much!"

When he was so happy, he almost spilled the beans about his hobby of using telescopes to peek. Sandai coughed twice to cover it up, then put the book down and changed the subject:

"Tetsuya, how do you feel about Konoha now?"

Zheye didn't know how to answer this question.

How is the situation in Konoha?Most people's view on this matter should be that it is quite normal and stable. Although there was Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha, it was also a foiled conspiracy. It was not the original state of the village being damaged when the Sandaime died, and the fifth generation also also As soon as I took over, it was time to usher in a new chapter.To put it bluntly, Tsunade's return and succession as Hokage are exciting and good news for most people in the village. It is impossible not to worry about the aging third generation.

"You should also know, not to mention Orochimaru who has been staring at the village without giving up, the existence of Akatsuki is a bigger problem."

Sandai didn't want to hear Tetsuya's opinion, he was just telling Tetsuya his own opinion:

"Compared with Orochimaru, the existence of the Akatsuki organization may be the biggest trouble for Konoha. Even more than that, it may be the trouble for the entire ninja world."

"In addition, there was a mysterious person involved in the Nine-Tails incident that year, and he might be related to the Akatsuki organization."

When the Nine-Tails incident was mentioned, the third generation looked somewhat sad. It was not only the moment when the fourth generation and his wife died and Konoha suffered heavy casualties, it was also the day when his wife died.At that time, Biwako was responsible for helping Kushina deliver the baby. No one knew the specific details because everyone present died.

"This is always the case in the ninja world. It may seem peaceful now, but no one knows whether there will be a war tomorrow."

Of course Tetsuya knows this, he knows it all too well.

The system of the five major countries and the five major ninja villages in the world has only been established for about half a century. There have been three wars that have swept the world, not to mention the even more chaotic family-dominated period before the ninja village system. If we continue to push forward, , all cause and effect must go back to the so-called reincarnations of Indra and Asura, the Sage of Six Paths, and Kaguya Otsutsuki's mother and son.

Tetsuya knew this, but he couldn't tell the third generation clearly, he could only listen to the other party tell his experience.

"I have experienced them all from the first to the third war. Tetsuya, I don't know if you can understand the meaning of this. Every war is accompanied by a large number of ninja casualties. Of course, there are also more civilians, killing red-eyed ninjas. I can’t care about anything else.”

"Konoha must always be prepared. Whether it is a possible ninja war or some conspiracy to attack Konoha, it may have been brewing without you paying attention."

"I think Tsunade can also understand this, Tetsuya, Konoha may need to rely on you and your companions to maintain it in the future, and you must also understand this."

"Yes, I understand."

What could Tetsuya say? These words of the third generation probably showed that the other party was very optimistic about him, and he might think that the future sixth or seventh generation might become him.

But to be honest, Tetsuya has never thought about being Hokage or taking on a role in the village similar to Danzo and Boruto Sasuke. All he has always thought about is to desperately strengthen his own strength, and more things are still there. beyond consideration.

"Oh, yes, Tetsuya, Tsunade has decided to disband the roots, I think you can also have a hand in this matter."

"Disband the roots?"

This incident really shocked Tetsuya. As for what Sandai said about letting him intervene, he didn't think about it for the time being.

If the Roots are disbanded, then Danzo will also retire?Will that guy be honest and obedient?If Danzo accepts his fate honestly
Well, Tetsuya still feels that it is impossible for an old stubborn like Danzo, whose views have become rigid and solidified, to hand over power honestly. If not, there will be an internal fight in Konoha. As for the scale, it may depend on Tsunade's skill.

"I have proposed to Tsunade that you become her disciple. In this case, it will be very simple for you to take up a position during the process of integrating the roots into the ANBU. There are still many talents who can be used among the people in the roots. If there are not If a person with sufficient status and strength manages, there will probably be some troubles."

"Tsunade-sama just accepted me as a disciple and tested my strength."

Tetsuya answered in a low voice.

After hearing this, Sandai was obviously very satisfied, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed a lot:
"Okay, that's the best."

"However, if you ask me to manage those original root members, I'm worried that my experience and strength will not be enough for the time being."

Tetsuya is really not humble, he really doesn't want to care about this kind of thing.

These words made the third generation stare:

"Tetsuya, you are good at everything, but you are too humble. You have to know that although ANBU members have strict selection standards, and the Roots are much more cruel based on this standard, in fact these people are rarely as strong as The jounin level. The most numerous among them are actually chunin, or at most special jounin. With your current strength, and with Tsunade carefully teaching you for a period of time, it will be easy to manage these people!"

He stared at the young man in front of him with burning eyes, and there was an unquestionable tone in his tone:
"Besides, this is also a responsibility you should bear. Especially after becoming Tsunade's disciple, you should take the initiative to shoulder this responsibility. Do you understand?"

The third generation seemed to be aware of Tetsuya's resistance to this arrangement, and his words also contained some warning and reminder.

"Understood! This is what the Third Generation taught you!"

Of course, he would not refute Sandai's insistence on his own ideas at this time, nor did he have any rebellious psychology because of the other party's sudden harsh attitude.In fact, Tetsuya can understand the reaction of the Third Hokage very well. Regardless of whether he has received various cares because of his talent and hard work, from the perspective of a Hokage as a leader, whether it is promoting fame or giving secret techniques. Still recommending Tsunade as a teacher, these are all with a purpose, the purpose is to make Tetsuya serve Konoha.

And now, Konoha wants Tetsuya to assume certain responsibilities, so Tetsuya shouldn't refuse.

For Konoha ninjas, this is a kind of moral standard in a broad sense, which can be compared to respecting the elderly and loving the young, something that is normal human ethics.

Being able to understand nature does not mean accepting it. For Tetsuya, what he always considers is his own strength, and his loyalty and responsibility to Konoha come second.

What the Sandai was saying now wasn't a formal decision, at least not until Tsunade told him about it.

But I think Tsunade would have similar plans.

After all, this is a very reasonable arrangement. If it were another person here, he would probably have the mentality of not being able to repay the kindness he encountered. It is a pity that Zhe is also an "outsider" in a pure sense. He will only consider it. pros and cons without the excitement and gratitude of being given a heavy responsibility.

Seeing his reaction, Sandai naturally relaxed and said with a smile:

"Don't be so serious. This matter may not be possible. Maybe Tsunade will have other candidates. You just need to learn and practice with her with peace of mind. After all, the root matter is of great importance, so we won't start to advance it for the time being."

　Thanks to 20191215180923875 for the 500 reward, and the 100 reward for saying that the garbage is not waste. In addition, there seems to be a 2-coin reward a few days ago, but the writer’s assistant didn’t show it.
