Chapter 126 Sarutobi Hiruzen: Koharu, do you think I’m awesome?

"I have nothing to say."

Koharu Tenne held the teacup in both hands, took a sip slowly, then said to Li Zhongren with a smile.

"According to Konoha's laws, I killed fellow ninjas and civilians, and embezzled a huge amount of village funds. I should be sentenced to death."

"Aunt Xiaochun, you know, even if you die, I can still extract enough memories from your brain."

"Kid, this is a leftover from our time."

Utane Koharu smiled slightly and tapped her head lightly with one finger. Lines appeared on her forehead like ripples on the water, and then slowly disappeared.

"Do you think that as ninjas, in that cruelest era, we would not be on guard against the enemy obtaining information from our brains?"

"This is a sealing technique designed by Mito-sama himself. It refers to the caged bird technique of the Hyuga clan to a certain extent. However, only the real high-ranking officials in the village or those who know the core secrets of Konoha are qualified to use this ninjutsu."

"Or do you think your little girlfriend's attainments in the art of sealing can rival those of Mito-sama?"

“So, was it all worth it?”

Li Zhongren looked at Utane Koharu again.

"Actually, even if you don't tell me, I know where the money went. You did it very cleanly, but with such a large cash flow, I can always find some clues. I believe you should be clear about this. I am good at this."

"Of course, these things cannot be used as evidence."

"However, why don't you think about it from another angle? Knowing that I have the ability to analyze intelligence, why did he let me be the leader of the Root? In other words, he was able to transfer two elite ninjas away, which proves that his power is above that of Shimura Danzo. So, why didn't he destroy all the intelligence before I came back? Leave your matter out of it. After all, he had enough time to operate all this during this period."

"So, is there a possibility, Aunt Xiaochun?"

"The person you tried so hard to help actually planned to abandon you from the very beginning?"

"Auntie, please think about it carefully."

"I'll come back tomorrow morning."

Li Zhongren is gone.
Koharu Tsunemiya did not look at Li Zhongren, but just stared at the pond not far away. For a moment, her eyes seemed to travel through time and space.
Back to many years ago
“See that tree?”

Mizuto Menen pointed to a big tree in the ninja school training ground. This was a big tree that Lord Hashirama accidentally created when he used Wood Release.

"I saw it, what's wrong?"

Beside Mitomon Homura is a group of young boys and girls.

Uchiha Clan's Uchiha Mirror
Danzo Shimura of the Shimura Clan
The cuckold family's cuckold Lake Biwa..
Of course, there is also Sarutobi Hiruzen of the Sarutobi clan.
In short, they are all descendants of ninja families.
"Whoever can touch the highest leaf is the most awesome! Of course, stepping on the tree trunk is not allowed!"

"Tsk, that's it, I'll do it!"

Shimura Danzo was the first to jump up.
Then there is Mitomon En himself.
These family members tried one after another
During this time, there was inevitably some laughter.
After all, since the village was established, the world seems to have finally returned to peace, and they, the former second generation, can finally enjoy the life that should belong to them.
"Get out of the way, all of you, one by one, and watch me."

The last one to appear was Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Judging from his physique alone, he is not that outstanding among the crowd, but in fact, everyone knows that in terms of strength, there are really few people who can compare with him.

This was indeed the case. Others could only touch leaves that were more than ten meters high at most, but the huge impact force of his jump even cracked the ground, and the whole person went straight through the dense tree canopy.

"Boom!!"

With a dull thud, Sarutobi Hiruzen's head hit a thick tree trunk directly, and his body lost balance and fell to one side.

It hit a girl hiding in a tree.
Then, their eyes met.
After a while, Tsutomu Koharu turned her head away shyly.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En, Akimichi Tofu, Uchiha Kagami, and Utane Koharu."

Senju Tobirama looked at the six young men in front of him.

"From today on, you will be my apprentices and members of the Shadow Guard."

"Teacher, are we strong enough to be members of the Shadow Guard?"

"If you can't, go train me."

"Koharu."

"Teacher, what do you want me to do?"

"You are the only girl among these people. I let you join the Shadow Guard not only because you are very talented, but also because you are extremely good at controlling chakra. So, I hope you can become a medical ninja to protect this team. Is that okay?"

"Yes!!"

Utatane Koharu glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly and nodded.
"Huruzen, have you seen the sensei?"

"I didn't see it. There's no need to look. The teacher said that we should be members of the Shadow Guard, but who can keep up with his Flying Thunder God Technique? He was so excited about killing that he didn't care about us at all. By the way, Xiaochun, do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed Utane Koharu, put one arm around her shoulders, and dragged her to squat in the bushes.

"(What's wrong?)"

Utane Koharu asked, gesticulating.

"(There are enemies at nine o'clock, at least a team of thirty people, who should have been separated from the main force of Kumogakure.)"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also made gestures and continued to listen attentively. As the contractors of the Sarutobi clan, the members of their Sarutobi clan were born with great strength and sharp facial features, so even if the opponent was still a long distance away, he could sense the other party's presence.

"(Thirty-ten people, then we.)"

"(Yes, let's surround them!)"

"???"

"Ada!!!!"

Then, Koharu Utatane saw Sarutobi Hiruzen rushing out with the diamond stick.
"boom!!!"

A few breaths later, a diamond stick as thick as a giant tree smashed over with a sound of tearing the air, and in an instant the team of thirty people was torn into pieces.

"Grandsons of Kumogakure who tore up the armistice agreement, your grandpa Sarutobi is here, come here, hahahaha!!!"

Standing on a tree, Hiruzen Sarutobi held a diamond stick in his hand and madly mocked the Cloud Ninja on the opposite side. His loud voice resounded throughout the battlefield. Naturally, the Cloud Ninja, who was already hot-tempered, could not stand this? He roared and rushed towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But at this moment, five Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly appeared and covered the team of thirty people with a larger area.

"Five Shields: Great Linking Bullet Technique!!"

At the same time, the five Sarutobi Hiruzen formed seals at the same time. Water, fire, wind, earth, and lightning, five balls of chakra gushed out of the mouths of the five people at the same time and gathered together. "BOOM!!!"

A mushroom cloud rises into the sky
"Hahaha"

"Xiaochun, do you think I'm awesome?"

When the smoke cleared, all the Kumogakure ninjas were lying on the ground, scattered here and there.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around, waved at Utane Koharu, and said with his hands on his hips.

"Hiruzen, be careful!!!"

"You bastard."

In the cave, Utane Koharu looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose lower abdomen had been scraped off in a large area and whose internal organs were almost visible, and she wished she could slap him in the face.

"You almost died. You can't show off without cleaning up the battlefield."

"Hehe...cough cough cough. In the end, he still died."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked very proud.

"Hey, be gentle."

"Humph!"

Utatane Koharu glared at Sarutobi Hiruzen and added some chakra to the palm technique in his hand. Soon, the hideous wound began to heal.
"Your injuries are very serious. I can only seal the wound temporarily. We have to stay here for at least three days."

"Anyway, the main force won't move forward, so just take a break. However, the place you found is quite good. There's even a hot spring inside."

"Are you stupid? Yunyin has a unique topography. Nine out of ten caves here have pools of water."

"Wow, wow, wow."

Deep in the cave, Koharu Utatane was taking a bath. Although as a ninja, enduring a dirty environment was the basis, she would not refuse if she could clean her body. This could also effectively remove the odor on her body, so as not to be discovered by the olfactory beasts.
"only."

As she was washing, the ninja's alertness made her instinctively feel that someone was spying on her.

Of course, who else could it be?

Thinking of this, Utane Koharu couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.

"This big pervert"

When she returned to her residence, she saw Sarutobi Hiruzen lying there, seemingly asleep.
"Humph~"

She curled her lips and lay down carefully next to Sarutobi Hiruzen. After a while, a hand slid along her waist, little by little.
"I'm sorry, Haru."

One night in Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Utane Koharu with a guilty look on his face.

"My father said that I can only marry Biwako because her family is a family of medical ninjas."

"Or, I'll take you away."

"Let's leave Konoha"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Utane Koharu's hand gently stroked Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.

"It's not easy for you to be valued by the teacher. In the future, you must be good to Lake Biwa. I will be satisfied if I can stay by your side."

"Koharu, I want to establish a system where the Hokage has total power."

"What is the system of centralizing power in Hokage?"

"that is."

"But I don't have the ability to dominate the ninja village like my teacher. I can only secretly arm a team to be qualified to mediate with these ninja families."

"So, you're short of money?"

"Um"

"Okay, I'll help you."

“Time flies by so fast.”

After walking out of the quagmire of memories, Kutane Komura couldn't help but sigh.

"So, Hiruzen, what are you thinking? But it doesn't matter. I said I would help you, and I will..."

Utaha Koharu slowly lowered her head.
respiratory arrest
The cup of tea in my hand, which had a special aroma, also fell to the ground.——
"Report to the Minister, we have determined through investigation that Elder Xiaochun committed suicide by taking poison."

"sure?"

Li Zhongren looked at Tsunetsugu Koharu who was sitting there quietly with his head down, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Even though he was an enemy, he was still an enemy worthy of respect.
"Yes, we are sure, for the following reasons."

"First, this is the core area of Konoha, with a complete security system and seal protection. We have checked all the seals and there are no signs of intrusion or modification. The ninjas on duty here last night did not find anything unusual."

"Secondly, Elder Koharu is an elite jonin. If an outsider invades, with Elder Koharu's strength, there won't be no movement at all."

"Third, and most importantly, we detected a highly toxic ingredient in the tea she drank. After analysis, we determined that this was Elder Xiaochun's unique recipe, which she did not make public. Even if others could replicate such a highly toxic ingredient, Elder Xiaochun would not be unable to distinguish the highly toxic ingredient she prepared herself."

"Makes sense."

Li Zhongren nodded.

"Go inform the Hokage-sama."

"Yes."

Then, Li Zhongren walked up to Xiaochun and glanced at the tea beside him. He almost drank a cup yesterday. He could only say that this woman was really cruel, but not cruel enough. If she poured him a cup of tea, he might not refuse.

He didn't know what had happened between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Utatane Koharu, but since Utatane Koharu would rather die than betray Sarutobi Hiruzen, it must be a very beautiful story.
After a long time, Li Zhongren couldn't help but feel emotional.

“If only life could be like the first time we met.”
