Naruto: Starting from pursuing Tsunade

Especially those whose family members died in the war, crying broke out all over the place.

The shadow of war will not pass easily.

"Everyone be quiet."

After Hiruzen Sarutobi came to power, the first thing he did was to calm down the villagers.

Otherwise, it would be a mess and no one would be able to hear what he said.

I don't know if it's because of his usual prestige or because the villagers want to hear his excuses.

After a while, the audience basically became quiet, with only a few people whispering among each other.

However, it had no impact on Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech.

"I know you are dissatisfied."

"I am also deeply saddened by those who have lost their lives on the front lines."

"As Hokage, this is an oversight on my part."

"I'm here to apologize to you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took off his hat and bowed solemnly to the villagers in the audience.

The gesture was very good, and combined with the grief on his face, many people were really frightened.

"Old fox, you really know how to put on an act."

"We are working hard on the front line, and he is enjoying happiness in the village."

Fugaku spat with disgust on his face and dismissed Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech.

"Wearing the mask for so long, he forgot his true colors."

Qing did say something quite reasonable.

"Let's see what other tricks he has up his sleeve."

Fugaku continued to watch Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance.

"Hokage-sama, why didn't you go to the front line?"

"As far as I know, the shadows from other villages are all on the front line."

"If you had gone to the battlefield, maybe my son would not have died."

An old lady still had tears hanging from her eyes. Her son died in the war with the Iwa Ninja Village.

"Yeah yeah."

"why?"

"Give us an explanation."

......

The villagers' emotions were aroused again. Sarutobi Hiruzen straightened up. Things were still within his expectations.

As long as you get past the following paragraph, this matter will almost be over.

The ANBU ninja targeted the old lady after she asked her question, which showed signs of inflaming the villagers' emotions.

After careful investigation, they found out that he was really an ordinary villager, and they felt helpless.

One of the ANBU finally couldn't help but feel doubts.

"Captain, why didn't Hokage-sama go to the front line?"

One of his friends also died at the hands of the Iwa Ninja.

I still remember standing in front of the memorial monument and crying heartbrokenly.

"Hokage-sama has his own plans, do you still need to report to us?"

The ANBU captain reprimanded him, but he couldn't find the answer in his heart.

Chapter 195 Sarutobi Hiruzen's method

"Everyone listen to me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pressed down his hands, silencing the villagers' voices again.

"It's not that I don't want to go to the battlefield."

"I want to ensure the village and your safety."

"The Tsuchikage of Iwa Ninja Village went to war and was raided by Kumogakure Village. How many people died?"

"This is a situation I don't want to see. It is an honor for a ninja to die on the battlefield."

"And you are the roots of Konoha, and there is no room for failure."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were upright and awe-inspiring, trying to establish a glorious image of himself.

"Just deceive these villagers who don't know anything."

"A large part of the Earth Kingdom is bordered by the sea, but Konoha is very little bordered by the sea, and there are many obstacles to waterways."

"How could we encounter such a situation?"

Fugaku even sneered when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

He is also No. 1 for saying that he does not want to go to the battlefield in such a high-sounding way.

"This is not important. What is important is that someone believes it."

Aoya couldn't help but complain, and had a clear understanding of the thickness of Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.

Turning his eyes to Sarutobi Hiruzen, he started talking again without waiting for the villagers to think carefully.

"I can understand everyone's feelings."

"The war is over now and everyone's life must go on."

"I have made arrangements for the pension and will start disbursing it soon."

"This is the last thing I can do as Hokage."

"Everyone looks forward together, and I will continue to accompany you to build a better Konoha Village."

"Only a strong Konoha can prevent these tragedies from happening again."

"I have finished speaking. If you are still dissatisfied with anything, you can talk to me alone."

Sarutobi Hiruzen finished all the words in his mind in one breath.

Then he waited quietly for the reaction of the villagers in the audience.

As he expected, the dead were dead, but the lives of the living continued.

The pension has hit the most vulnerable part of the villagers' hearts.

Most people fell silent and did not raise any further objections.

Only a few people were still crying, and they were dragged away by the people around them.

If these people affect the pension, it will be a bit more gain than loss.

Watching the villagers slowly leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled with satisfaction.

Hatake Chuanfeng, what other methods do you have?

The storm subsided and Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and left.

The high platform was also dismantled, and it was as if nothing had happened.

"You were fooled by him just like that?"

Qing was still a little unbelievable. Are the villagers so easy to talk to?

It was difficult to get rid of the unscrupulous people who came to the security forces to cause trouble in the past.

"Otherwise, do you think he has been the Hokage for nothing for so many years?"

Fugaku's face didn't look good either. The feast he had carefully arranged ended in such an anticlimactic manner.

"Then aren't we doing useless work?"

Qing felt a little disappointed. He handled this matter personally and spent a lot of thought on it.

"Don't worry, it won't end that easily."

"Let's go."

Fugaku showed an unobservable smile, no wonder Chuan Feng didn't come.

He seemed to have figured it out.

"Yes, Master Fuyue."

Ao followed Fugaku's footsteps, and the two slowly left.

......

"You still hold a lot of weight in the hearts of the villagers."

In the Hokage's office, Mito Kabuto smiled like a chrysanthemum.

He gave a thumbs up gesture to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

To successfully suppress this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen's personal prestige was a very important part.

"Let's arrange the pension matter quickly."

"To avoid long nights and too many dreams, just follow the share we decided before."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not worthy and told Mito Kaden what to do next.

"Don't worry, we'll make arrangements right away."

Mito Menyan put away his smile and solemnly agreed.

"Be more careful lately. I always feel that this matter is not over yet."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lit up his pipe and took a puff, feeling uneasy in his heart.
