Chapter 99: Assist the Hokage? That Doesn't Exist
"Um, Lord Ryūun!"
The Anbu ninja felt that if he didn't steer the topic back...
Heaven knows what else Aoyama Ryūun would say.
"Lord Ryūun, can we talk about the reinforcement issue now?"
"Reinforcement!"
Being reminded, Aoyama Ryūun looked enlightened.
Right, there was this troublesome matter.
Facing the Anbu ninja's burning gaze, Aoyama Ryūun's face showed some difficulty.
"It's not that I don't want to support. It's really that the Kumogakure people are too fierce. Even I can only barely resist them!"
"..."
Leaving aside whether such nonsense could convince anyone...
Just speaking alone...
If you could suppress the smile on your face, it would be easier for people to believe you.
That's right, Aoyama Ryūun was about to laugh out loud.
Even Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikaku on the side helplessly turned their heads...
Indicating they couldn't bear to watch.
He had just thrashed the Kumogakure people.
Aoyama Ryūun alone thrashing an entire ninja village...
And now saying he was barely coping? That's just too much bullying.
"Lord Ryūun! Don't make it difficult for me!"
The Anbu ninja wanted to cry.
Don't drag me into the conflict between you and Lord Hokage.
If he didn't get a reply today, the Anbu ninja felt...
His career in the Anbu would come to an end.
"Captain White Fang!"
Having no other choice, the Anbu ninja looked pleadingly at Hatake Sakumo.
"Don't call me that anymore, I'm not the Anbu Captain!"
Hearing this title, Hatake Sakumo waved his hand decisively.
When he resigned from the position of Anbu Captain, Hatake Sakumo cut all ties.
"..."
The Anbu ninja expressed a desire to cry!
"Alright!"
Aoyama Ryūun waved his hand grumpily.
Really, a grown man about to cry while talking.
"After going back, tell the old Hokage directly that the Kumogakure battlefield is too dangerous. This old master needs a year."
"Only then can I go to support. Let him persist and work hard!"
Support Sarutobi Hiruzen? Forget it.
Aoyama Ryūun had no such intention.
Waving his hand, Aoyama Ryūun casually made up an excuse, preparing to brush it off.
"One year?"
The Anbu ninja was somewhat shocked.
Isn't that too long!
"What, you have an objection?"
However, after Aoyama Ryūun glared with his tiger-like eyes, the Anbu ninja instantly dared not speak.
He quickly nodded.
"No problem, I will go back and report!"
Regardless, he got a reply.
He believed Lord Hokage would definitely not make things difficult for him.
Saying this, the Anbu ninja used the Body Flicker Technique and left.
"Why run so fast? This old master doesn't eat people!"
Aoyama Ryūun couldn't help muttering.
Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikaku beside him rolled their eyes simultaneously.
Who do you think is to blame?
...
"Did he really say that?"
On the other side, on the Kirigakure battlefield.
In the temporary conference room, Sarutobi Hiruzen, after receiving the Anbu ninja's report...
His face was somewhat gloomy.
"This subordinate dares not lie!"
Of course, the Anbu ninja dared not lie to the Hokage.
"..."
Somewhat silent, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand without a word.
Signaling the Anbu to leave first.
Two years on the battlefield had made Sarutobi Hiruzen's aura much sharper than before.
It had to be said, the battlefield is really a place that trains people.
Even Danzō, who usually had a gloomy aura...
Appeared肃杀.
"Hehe! One year? He wants another year?"
After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly laughed.
He laughed out of anger.
How could Sarutobi Hiruzen not see that Aoyama Ryūun...
Was just finding excuses not to support?
I'm afraid even after a year passes, Aoyama Ryūun will find other excuses to delay.
But what puzzled Sarutobi Hiruzen even more was...
Why did this Aoyama Ryūun seem to have such a big problem with him?
Clearly, when this old man was in Konoha, he rarely made things difficult for Aoyama Ryūun, right?
Even when he beat up the Konoha Elders in front of this old man, this old man didn't say anything.
Isn't that lenient enough towards him?
"Could it be that this Aoyama Ryūun knows the reason for the demise of the Senju clan?"
At this time...
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura on the side...
Suddenly made a connection.
"After all, the relationship between Aoyama Ryūun and Tsunade is not ordinary!"
"!"
Before this, Sarutobi Hiruzen really hadn't thought in this direction.
But being told this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat enlightened.
It seems this is the only explanation.
Once known alongside the Uchiha clan as one of the greatest bloodline clans in Konoha, the Senju clan...
The reason for their demise to the point where only Senju Tsunade and Senju Nawaki were left...
Therefore, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama really knew how to accept disciples.
Fatherly kindness and filial piety.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't feel regretful.
At that time, the Senju clan had too much power.
Two generations of Hokage appeared consecutively.
One of them was the God of Shinobi.
Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen became the Third Hokage, at that time, he still had to act according to the Senju clan's expressions.
Therefore...
Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally resolved to pit the Senju clan into oblivion.
"Clearly, the evidence from that time should have been destroyed!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said.
He looked suspiciously at Shimura Danzō.
Wondering if Danzō had kept that evidence...
Preparing to pit him at some point in time?
"Tch!"
They were all old foxes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's look told Danzō exactly what he was thinking.
"It wasn't this old man... Do you think someone like Aoyama Ryūun really cares if there is evidence?"
"Uh!"
Being told this, Sarutobi Hiruzen understood.
That's right, for a brute like Aoyama Ryūun, suspicion is enough.
As for evidence?
Sorry, what is that?
Aoyama Ryūun has never cared about it.
