Escape From Konoha

Konoha 36 years, June.

The climate in the forest started to get a little hot and irritable.

It has been three months since Shiraishi left the village to perform his mission.

During the period, I encountered a total of eleven waves of enemies. Except for the lineup of five Jōnin in the first month, the Sandyin troops I encountered after that were all very weak in combat effectiveness.

Sometimes, Sakumo doesn't need Jōnin to make a move, he just needs to stand aside, and the three Shiraishi cooperate to wipe out several times the number of enemies.

With the increasing number of battles, the battle experience of Shiraishi and the others is also accumulating, and their cooperation is getting better and better.

In order to study new tactics, Shiraishi sourced materials on the spot and looked for materials to make smoke bombs in the wild.

Fortunately, when it came out, some simple and small instruments were sealed in the scroll. When he was resting, Shiraishi would take it out and make smoke bombs.

This kind of thing, Sakumo is no stranger to it.

If it is said that Ruri and Ayane focus on the accumulation of hard power, then Shiraishi is undoubtedly the one with the best knowledge and the most flexible mind among the three.

Sakumo appreciates the fact that he can still study with a calm and unhurried attitude and enrich himself during the war.

So, Sakumo proposed the special training for Shiraishi.

Teach Shiraishi some practical knife skills.

In the field of medical ninjutsu and research, he couldn't help Shiraishi, but as a Joinin who is good at swordsmanship, Sakumo felt that he could teach Shiraishi the skills of swordsmanship, so that he would have a certain fighting ability.

In this way, with Ruri and Ayane, the overall combat effectiveness of the three will be greatly improved.

Shiraishi was a little surprised when Sakumo proposed special training, but he didn't refuse.

When he was free, he would practice swordsmanship with Sakumo.

The weapon he used was a standard ninja sword, which was slightly longer than the White Teeth Short Sword, but in terms of chakra conduction, it was several levels worse than the White Teeth Short Sword.

After all, ordinary weapons are chakras that cannot conduct changes in their properties. Once they encounter a sophisticated weapon that can conduct chakra, they are easy to break.

In the afternoon, when the sun is strong.

"Hey, remember not to come and take a peek."

Ruri and Ayane held clean new clothes to avoid someone coming over to peek at them while they were bathing, so they came to remind them.

Shiraishi assuredly replied, "Don't worry, you can go anyway, even if you die, I will watch over Sakumo-sensei."

"I'm talking about you, not Sakumo-sensei."

"..."

No matter how stupid he is, he will never peek at a twelve-year-old girl taking a bath.

The vigilant stare of Liuli's eyes made Shiraishi's heart a little hurt.

"It doesn't matter if Shiraishi-kun comes to take a peek, because I will make Shiraishi-kun no longer a qualified man physically."

Ayane smiled softly, as if she meant something.

While making people feel like a spring breeze, they couldn't help shivering.

Watching Liuli and Ayane leave, Shiraishi sighed and said, "Really, what time is it, I have to take a bath, not out camping."

"There's no way. In the past few months, they were either fighting or were on their way. It's better to let them relax. And it's very close to a sentinel in Konoha, so it's safer than the rest."

Sakumo added on the side.

Shiraishi had no choice but to nod, agreeing with Sakumo.

In the dense forest, there is a gentle breeze, and the breeze is mixed with a bit of irritating warmth.

Under such circumstances, Shiraishi wanted to take a peaceful nap under the shade of a tree.

"Is the situation at the front still unclear?"

Shiraishi sat under the shade of a tree and took out a water cup to drink water.

"Ah, although there are Orochimaru and the others, but the opponent is that Sandai Kazekage himself, so it's not so easy to win."

Sakumo also sat down and said to Shiraishi.

Although the quality of Konoha ninjas on the front line is generally stronger than that of the sandy ninjas, the lack of decisive and powerful ninjas on the same level as the contemporary Five Shadows is also the reason why the front lines have been deadlocked.

"In this case, if Hokage-sama appears, maybe he can turn the tide of the battle all at once."

Sakumo shook his head for Shiraishi's opinion and said, "Konoha is different from the four ninja villages. The Land of Fire is located in the middle of the continent and is surrounded by four great powers. There are too many things to consider. Hokage himself rushed to the battlefield. This is an emergency of last resort.”

"It's not easy being a Hokage..."

"Yeah, it's Hokage after all."

"Sakumo-sensei, have you ever thought about being a Hokage?"

Shiraishi asked suddenly.

Because there is nothing to do, I hope to talk about interesting topics to pass the time.

Sakumo said with a wry smile: "Forget it, spare me, I'm not the one to be Hokage, I don't understand politics at all."

"It's not right to say that, Sakumo-sensei can be the voice of Hokage's appeal, even louder than Sannin."

"Having said that, Hokage-sama is still strong. I never thought about it."

Shiraishi nodded understandingly.

The reputation of Sandai Hokage in Konoha Village is indeed very good. According to Liuli, even the Uchiha family has a harmonious relationship with Sandai Hokage, and they have good business dealings with each other.

It is conceivable that the three generations of Hokage still have a very big heart.

But...how many years can this kind of heart and courage last?

The three generations of Hokage are 46 years old this year~www.NovelMTL.com~ If they stay in the position of Hokage for another ten years, it will be the age to abdicate and let the sages.

The older a person is, the more things he has to worry about.

Ambition when you are young will become more and more incapable as you get older.

Uchiha's garrison has more power than Hokage's direct subordinate Anbu.

This is not only a trust in Uchiha, but also his vigilance and advice.

The three generations of Hokage don't care now, because his strength is strong enough and his prestige is big enough. Even if something happens to Uchiha, he is confident that he can solve it, even with force.

But this confidence cannot last forever.

Therefore, selecting a new Hokage within ten years to take over the position of the third Hokage is the true way for Konoha to become a strong village.

At that time, Sakumo was only in his thirties, the golden age when a ninja was at its peak.

It is estimated that the strength at that time was stronger than now.

With his reputation, strength, loyalty, and personality, even if he doesn't want to be Hokage himself, everyone will try their best to force him to become Hokage.

"Anyway, if Sakumo-sensei is willing to fight for the position of Hokage, it will definitely bring a new trend of thought to the village."

"You, it's said that I'm not interested in Hokage anymore. I think my life is good now. Because once I become Hokage, I can't go out and perform missions as often as this, and fight side by side with my fellow villagers."

"what a pity……"

Shiraishi sighed.

"I'll go find something to eat. There's not enough food in the backpack. The task of the two of them will be handed over to you."

"learn."

Looking at Sakumo's back, which kept moving away, Shiraishi looked at it for a while, and then withdrew his gaze.
