Hikaru Hokage

"Call the people from the Yamanaka clan to the Hokage's office and we'll talk about this later."

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed the report he had read.

"Shisui, please go back and rest for now."

"……Yes."

Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen who was already leaning towards Danzo, Uchiha Shisui had no choice but to retreat.

"Minato, your mission is temporarily cancelled. There is no rush to confront them at Kumogakure Village. Their first target must still be Iwagakure. Let's wait and see."

"Yes."

Was it someone from the Uchiha clan who planned this conspiracy against Danzo, Orochimaru, or even the Third Hokage?

Although this was the best explanation and answer, Namikaze Minato still felt that something was not right.

-

"Have you not told the Namikaze Jonin what happened that day?"

After leaving the first training ground, Hino Hikaru whispered to Nohara Rin and Kakashi beside him.

"I asked Kushina-san and Rin to keep this a secret from Minato-sensei."

Kakashi knew that to cure Obito, he might need to use the same method as Danzo transplanted the first-generation cells.

As for this kind of thing, Namikaze Minato, who has always been serious and serious, would probably not agree, so after careful consideration, Kakashi decided to keep it secret for now.

Let’s wait until Obito is cured.

"That's it."

Well, there are benefits to not knowing.

Hino Hikaru didn't really care whether Namikaze Minato knew the truth about the attack on the roots.

"Is there any news from Tsunade-sama?"

Kakashi finally asked the question that concerned him most these days.

Can the research information from Danzo and Orochimaru help Obito...

"She said that she was very inspired. Maybe in the future we can really develop wood-type limbs that can be transplanted into the human body. However, the current research progress of Danzo and Orochimaru has not completely solved the problem of the difference between the first generation of wood-type cells and ordinary human beings." If there is a mismatch, the mortality rate of transplantation is very high. Even Danzo who has succeeded is not perfect, and may even be swallowed by wood escape at any time."

"So it's still not possible right now?"

"More experimental data is needed, but it is impossible for Tsunade to do the forced human experiments like Orochimaru and Danzo, so... it will take a very long time to research, but Tsunade cannot guarantee how long it will take to conduct research. Come out, so let’s not tell Obito about this hope just yet.”

"understood."

Kakashi's face looked a little disappointed, but also a lot more hopeful.

"The direction is right, but experiments are needed...can I be the experimental subject?"

"Kakashi, Hino-san just said that the mortality rate of transplantation is very high."

Nohara Lin quickly dissuaded her.

"If you die, Obito's sacrifice will be meaningless."

"But……"

"Maybe not a bad thing."

Hino Hikaru did not object to Kakashi transplanting Senju Hashirama's cells.

"Hino?"

Nohara Rin didn’t quite understand why Hino Hikari didn’t oppose Kakashi.

"But in the end, we still have to ask for Tsunade-san's consent."

"Ok."

It should be impossible for Tsunade-sama to joke with other people's lives.

Nohara Rin could only acquiesce to Hino Hikaru and Kakashi's decision.

"Thank you, Hino..."

Kakashi is now a scarecrow living in a world of hope.

"What are you mumbling over there? Come up and follow me!"

Kushina looked at the "disciples" behind her who were far behind her, as well as someone who did not appear in the field of vision, and quickly urged her angrily.

Damn it, Minato, really didn't follow?

Chapter 69 It’s too much trouble, why not kill him

"What is your aspiration?"

"I don't have any dreams."

"Hurry up, don't you have to say this after becoming a disciple? Hurry up!"

"Okay, then my dream is peace in the ninja world."

Under Kushina's urging, Hino Hikaru had no choice but to talk about a dream.

"It's so perfunctory."

"I think people who say they want to be Hokage are perfunctory."

"It's so infuriating."

Kushina wanted to hit Hino Hikaru on the head with her hand, but the opponent dodged it.

"What's wrong with being Hokage...well, if you're not Hokage, you're not Hokage."

Peace in the ninja world is not bad either.

Because of what happened with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kushina doesn't really want to be Hokage now.

"By the way, the big-character poster you asked us to make together before didn't seem to have any big impact on Danzo and the others, right?"

Without Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kushina's words gradually became more wanton.

"It doesn't matter, people who spread rumors in the past should be allowed to feel the pain of being slandered by words."

Hino Hikaru sat on the grass blown by the warm breeze and looked at the wooden pier on the pond not far away.

"Moreover, although they seem not to be affected, in fact, the seeds of public opinion have been planted. No matter how they clean themselves up in the future, killing villagers and using innocent people as taboo experimental subjects will never be in the hearts of the people. Disappear, because the families of those people are still alive, and the memories of those who escaped are still there."

Hino Hikaru estimated that the final result of this matter was that Sarutobi Hiruzen announced the start of the next Hokage election, and then elected Namikaze Minato to come to power, while he continued to govern secretly to quell the turmoil.

Then in the distant future, as in the original work, under the watchful eyes of a group of people, he was killed by Orochimaru.

However, Hino Hikaru didn't care about this. He just wanted to disgust Danzo and the Third Hokage, and now he has done it.

As for the future, those on his death list cannot have a future too far away.

When Nohara Lin grows up, or when the next destined person comes to help him awaken, he will help Tsunade get rid of these troubles that exist in the village.

"The prestige of the Third Hokage has indeed dropped a lot."

The pain caused by war cannot be healed by victory in war.

During this period of time, Nohara Lin had seen too many people begin to transfer their conflicts to the Hokage himself.

"I wonder who the next Hokage will be."

Kushina followed suit and sat on the grass next to Hino Hikari.

"It can't be the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki anyway."

Hino Hikaru pulled a piece of grass from the ground and threw it forward.

"You guy..."

Kushina pulled out a lot of grass and threw it on Hino Hikaru.

"Could it be Minato-sensei?"

Kakashi suddenly interrupted.

"Watergate..."

Kushina had heard people in the village talking about it recently, so she was not surprised that Kakashi mentioned Namikaze Minato here.

"Then Kakashi will be the fifth generation."

Hino Hikaru shook his clothes and shook off all the blades of grass thrown by Kushina.

"Then who is the sixth generation?"

Nohara Rin also sat down holding her hips.

"Kakashi's son? But I think Kakashi will probably die alone..."

Hino Hikaru rambled casually.

"Hino can also be Hokage, he is definitely better than me."

Kakashi didn't think he could be Hokage.

As for dying alone, he really has never considered this issue.

"No, if he becomes Hokage, he will definitely be even more irritating!"

Kushina continued to throw grass clippings at Hikari's body.

"I'm not going to be Hokage."

During that time, wouldn't it be good to do Tsunade... a few times?

"By the way, when will you unlock the chakra seal on me?"

"Call the teacher and punch me two more times and I will help you."

"Forget it then. I feel like I can get it out myself if I wait a little longer."

"You guy, don't break the teacher's seal!"

The mental strength of this unscrupulous disciple is indeed very different from ordinary people, and the amount of chakra in his body is obviously very pitiful.

"And...is the teacher really weak?"

Kushina recalled the scene where she was "tricked" by the mouse Hino Hikaru turned into not long ago, and the expression on her face became depressed again.

"It's getting late. If the teacher doesn't teach me the sealing technique, I think I can go home and eat first."

"You guy, don't change the subject. Are you going to make the teacher more sad by deliberately not answering?"

Damn little devil!

Kushina gritted her teeth and stuffed the weeds in her hands into Hino Hikaru's collar.

-

"Hino-kun has a completely opposite personality to Obito, but he is also very capable of making people laugh."

Seeing the scene of Kushina and Hino Hikaru throwing grass at each other on the grass, Nohara Rin squinted and smiled happily.

"Hino... is a strange person."

Kakashi still doesn't understand what Hikari wants to do.

Whether it was telling stories before or exposing Danzo's affairs, Hino Hikaru's purpose seemed unclear.

"strangeness?"

Nohara Rin was a little surprised by Kakashi's comment.

"Well, he doesn't seem to care about many things, but he will do some things that are dispensable to him."

"Because... Hikari-kun is very gentle."

Nohara Rin recalled all the times she spent with Hino Hikari, and then looked shyly at Hino Hikaru's face that looked like it was stained with glaze under the setting sun, and her soft-looking lips.

I don’t know if I will have another chance...

Ahem, what are you thinking about, Nohara Rin, you should confess if you like her instead of just thinking about such things!

But do you like it?
