Uchiha Tatsu didn't know what happened at the clan leader's house, and had no time to care about it, because when the training ended in the evening, he knew a very bad thing...
Kushina wanted to take the Chunin Exams, but she did not get the consent of the Third Hokage.
Sister, do you think you are an ordinary person
It is no exaggeration to say that if he had to choose between the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and Asuma, the Third Hokage would not even blink and would shoot his youngest son against the wall.
So can you make your own decisions about this kind of thing? Don’t you have a clear idea in your mind
and…
"Didn't you tell me that the Third Hokage has agreed?!"
Uchiha Tatsu's right hand turned into a knife shape and hit the little fox on the head.
Kushina was in pain and covered her head with both hands. She quickly hid behind Mikoto. After a while, she poked her head out and said, "The big fox asked me to do this."
"Pfft!" Kyuubi, who was watching forcefully in the cage, almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Let me take the blame again...
Uchiha Tatsumi was unmoved by Kushina's explanation and continued to ask: "Have you told the Third Hokage about the Chunin Exam?"
"Said...but he was vague and said we would talk about it later."
"It seems there is still hope."
Kushina leaned out half of her body excitedly: "Really?"
Seeing the knife coming at her again, she quickly retreated.
Uchiha Tatsumi shook his head helplessly: "Let's not talk about this for now, do you have other things to lie to me about?"
"No more!"
"You can only lie zero times or countless times. If you let me find out next time, Mikoto won't be able to save you."
Kushina revealed half of her head and made a face: "Next time, I will definitely not let you find out."
Uchiha Chen: "..."
…
After that, there was another commotion, and seeing the night slowly sinking, at Kushina's suggestion, the three of them went to a newly opened barbecue restaurant in Konoha and had a big meal.
After sending Kushina and Mikoto home respectively, along the long street, Uchiha Tatsu did not return to his home, but turned around and walked towards the Hokage's office building.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and I think the Third Hokage had almost finished his chores.
After being informed by the guarding ninja at the door, Uchiha Tatsu quickly entered the room on the third floor.
This is not his first time here. As usual, there are still a lot of official documents piled up in the office.
Being a Hokage is really a hard job.
He looked at the scene in front of him and sighed, but that was all.
Seeing the young man walking in, the Third Hokage, who was sitting behind the desk, closed the documents in front of him, picked up his pipe and took a deep puff. Large white smoke drifted towards the window in circles.
"Chen, you're here, sit down quickly." The Third Hokage greeted with a smile.
"Yes, Uncle Hokage." Uchiha Tatsumi nodded, then walked to the chair and sat down.
The Third Hokage was very satisfied with the boy's title, which at least showed that the two of them had not become unfamiliar with the passage of time.
This is very good. Compared to the cold relationship between superiors and subordinates, Sarutobi Hiruzen prefers to use emotions to restrain a person.
"Chen, what have you been busy with lately?"
"Just busy, the first class has been broken up. I have been training with Mikoto and Kushina recently."
"Well, I heard about this." The Third Hokage nodded.
"This is the right thing to do. Jiraiya and Tsunade are not doing their jobs properly all day long. They are either going to sex or obsessed with collecting materials. I have said it many times and they don't listen!
And Orochimaru, who is obviously the leading teacher of the first class, throws everything at you without caring about anything, and doesn't give me any peace of mind. "
The Third Hokage talked about family matters for a while, and then turned to mention today's events: "By the way, Chen, why do you have time to come to me, an old man, at this time?"
Uchiha Tatsumi immediately brought up Kushina's matter.
The Third Hokage thought for a moment: "She also told me about it, but I didn't agree.
Tatsuya, you need to know one thing. Since that kidnapping, the information that Kushina is the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki has been placed on the desks of every village kage.
If she is allowed to take the Chunin Exam like this...how can she ensure safety? "
"Uncle Hokage, not to mention that the Chunin Examination is in our village, can we still restrain Kushina for the rest of her life
And I have seen four-tailed jinchuriki and one-tailed jinchuriki on the battlefield. Once they appear, they will have a huge impact on the entire battle situation. Such combat power... "
The Third Hokage frowned: "Do you still have plans to let Kushina go to the battlefield? I thought that with the relationship between the two of you, you would not let her be in danger."
Uchiha Chen shook his head and said: "On the contrary, it is because of our relationship that Kushina has to go through all this.
Neither I nor you, no matter how powerful, will never be the last line of defense to protect Kushina.
The last line of defense can only be herself! "
The Third Hokage nodded: "You are right, but Konoha Village is very safe, isn't it?"
Uchiha Tatsumi sighed: “If the village was really so safe, she wouldn’t have been captured by Kumo Ninja.
Even if we are hiding in the village, but trouble comes to our door, there are times when we are helpless. In this case, we can only rely on herself.
Kushina's fighting experience is too weak, just like a child with huge power.
Therefore, whether it is for the sake of the village or for Kushina herself, she should be released appropriately instead of being trapped in the village like a prisoner.
I think this is what Grandma Mito wants to see! "
The Third Hokage was silent for a long time, and then he sighed: "Speaking of which, Mito-sama, as the first jinchuriki, has been trapped in a small courtyard for twenty years.
This is certainly due to the death of the first Hokage, but it’s not because we, the younger generation, are too incompetent!
If the First Lord was still here, let alone the Fire Nation, the ninja world was so big, how could he not go there? "
The Third Hokage took a long drag on his pipe and motioned for Uchiha Tatsu to come over.
An old man and a young man just stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside: the lights were bright in the distance and seemed bustling; the smoke nearby sounded unusually quiet.
The Third Hokage looked reminiscing: "At that time, I was only a few years older than you are now. The First Hokage experienced that battle and was seriously injured, so he handed over the village to my teacher.
Later, regardless of everyone's objections, he took Mito-sama first to the Country of Whirlpool, and then to the hometown of Senju, as well as other countries in the ninja world.
Now that I think about it, the first-sama should have known that Mito-sama would be trapped after his death, so he just made compensation in advance.
In fact, I am really ashamed of Mito-sama.
Before she died, I promised her that I would let Kushina live like an ordinary ninja, but I failed to do it. "
The Third Hokage was silent for another moment and continued: "You are right, let her take part in this Chunin Exam. As for what you said about going out to do tasks, you can take your time in the future.
Although I am Hokage, the village is not mine, especially when it comes to the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.
It is inevitable that those old antiques will object, so things have to be done step by step, right? "
Uchiha Chen nodded. This time the Third Hokage could agree, he was already satisfied, and he didn't expect anything more. As for the future...
Sooner or later, he has the final say in this village!
"By the way, Chen, do you have anything else to say?"
It seemed like a casual question, but Uchiha Tatsumi felt that the Third Hokage had something to say, and when he thought about what happened during the day...
He quickly said: "The young patriarch came to me today and wanted me to help ask Tsunade-sensei if I can heal his eyes."
The Third Hokage nodded.
The ANBU reported this matter during the day. What could they do at this time? Of course it's the eyes.
After a little analysis, you can know the ins and outs, but the Third Hokage still didn't ask more questions, so he was very satisfied with Uchiha Tatsu's performance.
"Uchiha-san came to see me about this matter, but..."
The Third Hokage walked to a shelf, took down a scroll from it, and handed it to Uchiha Tatsumi.
"This is the sand ninja's accountability book. Take a look at it."
Uchiha Chen nodded, took it, and then opened the scroll to read it.
The content of the accountability letter was very simple, accusing Konoha escort troops of sneak attack on them and causing them a lot of losses.
After a while, the Third Hokage said in a deep voice: "I have investigated the above content. Except for the heavy losses of Suna Ninja, everything else is basically true. In other words, it was Uchiha Fugaku who acted first."
"I am Hokage. Even if Konoha is in the wrong, I still want to protect my villagers. Your Uchiha clan is one of the two major village-building families. Your father is my best friend, and I want to protect your family even more.
But again, although I am Hokage, the village is not my one word.
I deliberately concealed this matter, but the Konoha elders and the Danzo elders refused to let go! "
The Third Hokage sighed: "I won't talk about the problems in the village, but there is order among the big countries.
You were also present at the time. We worked hard to sign the agreement. How could I suddenly break the agreement and hold Sunagakure responsible? Wasn't this deliberately provoking a dispute
If I really do this, what will other countries think of us, Konoha, and what will the ninjas in the village who want peace think of me, the Third Hokage
Therefore, I could only forcefully suppress all conflicts and say it was all for the sake of the village.
Chen, can you understand me? "
Uchiha Tatsu was stunned for a while as he listened. Now he finally understood that the Third Hokage said so much because he was worried that he would be instigated by Fugaku and alienate the village.
After all, his talent is too terrifying, and he is only twelve years old. He is like a piece of white paper that can be easily stained black.
Finally, the Third Hokage took Uchiha Tatsu's hand again and said sincerely: "I know it's hard for you, it's hard for your family, and it's hard for me as the Hokage. Let's all just do it. After all, this village will still depend on you in the future."
Uchiha Tatsu didn't know how he got out of the Hokage Building, but his head felt dizzy.
Speaking of which, if he didn't have a mature soul and had already formed his own values, he would have been brainwashed by the Third Hokage.
But Uchiha Tatsuya is also sure of one thing - the art of mouth escape really exists, and its power is amazing!
