If it were another person, his and Toneri's reaction might not be so big.

"If you want others to take off the mask, take off the bandage on your head first." Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly.

"I was hurt because of Konoha..."

"You also know that you were injured because of Konoha, so I never tried to cover up for you.

But you also have to think about it, Toneri was also injured for Konoha, I hope you can understand what I mean, just because I don’t ask about some things doesn’t mean I don’t know!”

Danzo looked directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his eyes not giving in at all, but he did not say any more, because his right eye was indeed unable to see people.

I haven’t had many levels of entanglement on this topic.

"I'm starting to attack Iwagakure."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up, "How long will it take to see results?"

"Within half a year at the earliest."

Exhaling a long breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a contradictory feeling of loss and relief.

Once Iwagakure Village is successfully persuaded, it is very likely that the Third Ninja World War will turn around because of this incident. If an alliance is formed with Iwagakure Village, it will only be Sunagakure Village and Kumogakure Village that will put pressure on Konoha.

It wouldn't be so big.

This also means that he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, must put down his position as Hokage to give the ninjas of Konoha an answer.

Losing the Hokage whom he had served for decades, he felt a sense of loss.

But he was also relieved because he no longer had to be Hokage and bear the pressure of the development and safety of a village.

This is a very contradictory feeling.

"If you need my support in any way, just tell me."

"There will be needs."

...

After leaving the Hokage's office, Toneri did not return to the cattery immediately.

Instead, he entered the territory of the Uchiha clan.

Find and beat up his two cute disciples in training, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

The two are training at the Uchiha clan's exclusive training ground.

Shiren's silent arrival did not attract their attention.

Uchiha Shisui is older than Uchiha Itachi. He has received professional ninja school training. Although he graduated early, his foundation is quite good, especially in throwing kunai and shuriken.

At this time, Shisui was teaching Itachi how to throw kunai more efficiently and powerfully.

When ninjas are still relatively weak, especially when they are genin and first-time chunin, the most commonly used fighting methods are three-skin jutsu, taijutsu and kunai throwing.

If it's on the battlefield, the detonating talisman will be added.

For every ninja, Ninjutsu is a method that will not be used until critical moments, because everyone's chakra is limited and precious, especially on the battlefield.

The kunai throwing that Shisui and Itachi learned was more of a visual enjoyment for Toneri.

Ding ding ding——

The collision between kunai caused the kunai to change its throwing direction and hit various targets placed in the woods.

Throwing the first batch of kunai, and then immediately throwing the second batch of kunai, the latter caught up with the first batch of kunai, causing them to forcefully change direction and hit some targets that could not be hit.

This is only the first collision of kunai, and it is also the limit of what the young Itachi can do.

But Shisui, who showed Itachi, could make the kunai collide for the second or even third time.

The most powerful one can even make the kunai thrown for the first time turn around and shoot towards his back.

Bang bang bang——

Toneri clapped his hands lightly and walked out.

They were a little wary when they heard the voice, but when they saw the person coming out, surprise appeared on their faces.

"Toneri-sensei!"

Shisui was more outgoing than Itachi, so when he saw him, he immediately ran over to him.

Itachi has a rather shy personality.

But the surprise on his face could not be concealed.

After all, Toneri was the first and only person who took him to eat three-color meatballs many times.

Every time after teaching them something, Sheren would routinely take them to eat three-color meatballs or other delicious food to end a tiring day.

These delicious foods are irresistible to children.

Even Itachi, who is shy and precocious, can't resist it.

"Teacher Toneri, what's wrong with your eyes?" Shisui couldn't help but ask when he saw the white mask on Toneri's face.

"It's okay, I'm just a little injured." Toneri smiled and waved his hand.

"Is it the injury you sustained after fighting the Mist Ninja?"

"Huh?" Toneri looked at him in surprise.

Shisui's face was full of pride, "Teacher, we have heard a long time ago that you fought two hundred Mist ninjas by yourself and annihilated them in one fell swoop. In the end, only one person survived from your hands.

Such glorious achievements have long been spread in the village, and people say that you are the great hero of Konoha.

Others say that they will definitely support you to become the next Hokage."

The pride on Shisui's face was not concealed at all, and when he talked about Naruto, his eyes sparkled with admiration.

Uchiha Shisui is different from many people in the Uchiha clan who put their pride on their faces. He is a descendant of Uchiha Mirror, who is of the same generation as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo. He has experienced the "Will of Fire" since he was a child.

baptism, so she also has a dream for the position of Hokage.

The same was true for Uchiha Itachi who was influenced by him.

Village, family, and relatives are all the same in the eyes of young Itachi.

He smiled and rubbed their heads, "War is cruel. If war can be avoided, it doesn't matter who becomes Hokage.

If you can make your generation grow up healthily and happily, then this Hokage will be a good Hokage.

If he just makes you sacrifice yourselves to achieve him, then this Hokage is not worth following."

"Is there such a Hokage?" Before Shisui could speak, Itachi couldn't help but ask.

He was influenced by Shisui and also had a very special pursuit of Naruto.

"Have you all understood the Will of Fire?" asked Toneri.

The two little guys nodded at the same time.

"As long as there are leaves flying, fire will burn, the shadow of the fire will shine on the village, and new leaves will sprout.

If the old leaves are unwilling to fall and become nutrients for the big tree to nourish new leaves, and still cling to the branches, competing for nutrients with the new leaves, causing the towering tree to become more and more deformed, then

He becomes a burden and a moth!

Such a Hokage doesn't know how to follow."

Sheren must instill the correct values ​​into the two little guys, lest they blindly sacrifice themselves for the selfishness of some people in the future.

Be it Shisui or Itachi, their endings in the original work were not good.

Now that they have become his disciples, if there is a chance, of course I hope that their ending will be better.

Listening to Toneri's words, the two little guys nodded thoughtfully.

There is no rush to instill correct values ​​into them in a short period of time. This cannot be solved in a day or two.

Anyway, he probably won't go on missions again in the future and can teach them well.

Not just the two of them, but also his three former subordinates, Sarutobi Asuma, Metkai and Yuhi Kurenai, if they are in the village, they can study together.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village were almost eliminated by Toneri before they left Kirigakure Village, so Matkai and his father, Matedai, should not have to die.

If he had not died, no one in Konoha would know about the Eight Gate Dunjia, a forbidden technique that can emit extremely powerful power.

It can be regarded as retaining a strong person for Konoha who can reach the shadow level or even surpass the shadow level after an explosion.

"Come! Let me see how strong you two little guys are now. If you behave well, I will treat you to three-color meatballs later!"

"Okay!" Shisui looked excited, and the young Uchiha Itachi also seemed eager to try.

There's nothing that a bunch of three-color meatballs can't solve. If there is, then two!
