Capítulo 95: The Will of Fire and Tsunade's Plea (two chapters in one)
The horizon to the east turned white.
As early as this time, Shiraishi had soaked his body in the hot spring pool, closed his eyes and enjoyed it, with white mist rising from the water.
The water temperature of the hot spring is about 40 degrees to 45 degrees. It will not be too hot or too cold. This kind of water temperature is just right.
At this moment, Shiraishi heard the soft sound of water flowing next to him.
He opened his eyes, and what he saw was a young girl with long straight black hair and dazzling beauty. She was not wrapped in a bath towel, but due to the thick fog, she couldn't see very clearly.
Combined with the rise of the morning glow, she also has a holy light that can block her vision.
The light of original sin that prevents human beings from being honest with each other.
She walked over like this step by step, came to the back of Shiraishi, and gently wiped his back for him. The soft and delicate skin of her fingers could easily break through Shiraishi's defense line.
"How about it?"
"Very comfortable."
"Then...do you want to do something more comfortable?"
Something more comfortable?
What is that?
Is that it?
Shiraishi tried hard to suppress the restlessness in his heart, as if a heart was about to jump out of his throat.
"Continue with what we didn't finish last night, let's be honest with each other here."
The girl stretched her arms from behind to the front, embracing Shiraishi's body like this.
The faint fragrance rushed into the nasal cavity.
But breathing suddenly became uncomfortable.
He felt the girl's hands slowly upward, which were his neck.
"Wait, you're hugging me a little tighter, loosen up..."
"Isn't this what you expected? So, be my own thing..."
Her hands became tighter and tighter, and Shiraishi's breathing became more and more difficult.
The whole face was flushed red, as if he was suffocated to death.
…
Opening his eyes from the bed with his head covered in cold sweat, Shiraishi looked at the pale sky outside, and it was already dawn.
"Really, to have such a strange dream, I said, why did Ruri turn into such a terrible look, it turned out to be a dream, then it's okay..."
However, the feeling of being strangled, the feeling of being about to suffocate, is indeed so real.
Shiraishi no longer knows whether this is a dream or a nightmare.
After breakfast, Shiraishi took out the props that Ruri asked to make yesterday and put them in Ruri's hands.
"Here, this is the chakra flow suppression tool you asked for yesterday. As long as you wear this, the chakra flow speed in the body will become like a turtle crawling. But the opponent is a ninja, so don't train too strictly."
Ruri looked at the three metal bracelets in her hand, and nodded, expressing her understanding.
"There is one more thing to note. It is best not to wear this more than three hours a day, and it is almost two hours for endurance. If you extend the time, you may have to send them to the hospital."
"So serious?"
"If the flow rate of Chakra slows down, normal life is no problem, but based on this state, it is necessary to practice gymnastics and ninjutsu. If the time is too long, it will easily cause damage to the body."
"If I use this training, will it be effective?"
Ruri asked with such interest.
"If it were you, a restriction bracelet of this level would be directly cracked. Your chakra is too strong, unless you use a stronger level of restriction bracelet."
"Make it for me."
"That's no problem."
Shiraishi nodded.
This is the same as weight training. You usually use weights to exercise, and when you fight, remove the weights from your body. I can't say anything about the rest, but the speed will definitely increase suddenly.
Exercising with a restriction bracelet is equivalent to adding a load to the Chakra. At that time, the control and explosion of the Chakra will be bogged down in the mud and it will be difficult to move.
Finally, when wearing the restriction bracelet, train the flow speed of Chakra to the peak state without wearing the restriction bracelet. Then, after taking off the restriction bracelet, Chakra's control, explosive power, flow speed, and even the speed and power of ninjutsu will be greatly improved.
But the restriction bracelet, which is obviously used to limit the ninja level, cannot be applied to Ruri.
Jonin's Chakra explosive power is by no means comparable to that of a lower ninja.
"Then I'll go first."
After speaking, Ruri stood still and stared at Shiraishi calmly.
Shiraishi was stunned for a moment, then understood, stepped forward and hugged Ruri in his arms, and kissed her in the corridor.
Until she was gradually out of breath, Ruri was satisfied and left with a slightly red face.
After that, Shiraishi stayed in the laboratory.
While experimenting with the blending of Chakra and natural energy, I began to make the Chakra restriction bracelet needed for Ruri.
If the restriction bracelets are graded in detail, with ten stages as the standard, the restriction bracelets he made before can only be regarded as the second level, and the restriction bracelets suitable for Ruri should be at least the eighth level.
And from the sixth level up, only Jonin can adapt.
••••
Hokage Building, in the office.
Ruri is receiving the task here.
After taking over the mission scroll from 3rd Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Ruri opened the scroll directly and watched the contents inside.
This is a C-level protection task. The object of protection is a businessman from the Country of Mountains. He wants to transport a batch of medicinal materials wholesale from the Country of Fire, and transport them back to the capital of the Country of Mountains for sale.
So he issued a C-level protection mission to Konoha, and the mission reward was 40,000 ryō.
Among the C-level tasks, it can be regarded as a relatively high reward.
The highest-level C-level task reward is only 50,000 taels.
"What do you think?"
Hiruzen looked at the Uchiha girl in front of him, and couldn't help feeling emotional.
"No problem, if there is a problem with the task, I will interrupt it in time."
Ruri put away the scroll and said.
Hiruzen nodded, expressing his approval.
Ruri's last mission entruster lied about the mission level, and encountered ninja struggles during the period.
After realizing this, Ruri resolutely led the three ninja members to abandon the client, ignoring the cries and pleadings of the other party, and returned to Konoha, leaving him to fend for himself.
The client who issues the task must be based on integrity, otherwise it will easily cause Konoha Ninjas loss, or even lose his life.
If the basic integrity cannot be guaranteed, then it is the right choice to interrupt the mission in time and abandon the client.
"Wait."
When Ruri was about to leave, Hiruzen's voice came from behind.
"Is there anything else you want to explain, Hokage-sama?"
Ruri turned around neither humble nor overbearing, and there was no fear or respect in her eyes, just a businesslike look.
There is only an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship between them, other than that, there is no involvement or connection.
In other words, she doesn't want to talk about some meaningless topics with the same corrupt village seniors here.
Just like some high-level Uchihas today, they are still dreaming of making Uchiha a Hokage.
Innocence and arrogance to the point where she couldn't help but want to laugh.
No matter how you look at it, they are just a group of boring guys, fighting for power and profit.
The current Konoha is like a pool of stagnant water, lifeless and lifeless.
"I want to ask, has something happened to you? I always feel like you have changed something today."
Hiruzen is indeed curious about this.
Usually, he could only feel the cold and heavy breath from the genius Jonin, Ruri, but today is different.
In short, it was a very wonderful feeling.
A wonderful aura that Hiruzen couldn't analyze in detail.
"You are worrying too much, Hokage-sama. If there is nothing else, I will go first. I still have tasks to complete."
Ruri turned her back to Hiruzen, left this sentence, opened the door and left.
"..."
Breathing out lightly, Hiruzen looked out the window a little melancholy.
Ruri's attitude didn't make him feel anything. In fact, the reason for the other party's indifference was also inseparable from their high-level decision.
But all this is for the stability of Konoha.
Sometimes, it is indeed necessary to protect the interests of some people and sacrifice the interests of some people in order to maintain the stability and peace of the entire village, otherwise the enemy will take advantage of it.
Danzo is the case.
Sakumo is like this.
It's just that he didn't expect that Sakumo would respond in such a decisive way.
To this day, Hiruzen still cannot understand why Sakumo committed suicide.
He should have no reason or motivation to commit suicide.
I just want to use the power of Danzo to exclude him from the position of Hokage. He will still be an irreplaceable elite jounin in Konoha, and his position among jounin is also unshakable...
Countless reasons have been bothering Hiruzen.
Unfortunately, with Sakumo's death, no one can answer the long-standing doubt in his heart.
Therefore, Ruri's lukewarm attitude towards their senior management is also understandable.
But... Ruri will be a high-ranking figure in the Uchiha clan in the future, and it will play a very crucial and decisive role in the Uchiha's plan to integrate the village as a large group.
Hiruzen looked out the window, which was the direction of the ninja school.
Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I visited there.
••••
On the way to the medical ninja experimental class, Shiraishi saw a familiar figure standing in the corridor ahead, as if he was watching something, with a natural expression of surprise on his face.
"Lord Hokage?"
"Well…"
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi also turned his head in surprise when he heard the voice coming from the side, and saw Shiraishi walking towards him.
"I remember you were..."
"Lord Hokage, I am Chiba Shiraishi."
"Sorry, I'm getting old recently, and my memory has declined a bit."
Hiruzen smiled helplessly, looking very kind.
"Just kidding, you are still a little older than fifty years old."
Responding to Shiraishi's response, Hiruzen smiled and said: "It's not young anymore. I have stayed in this position for twenty years. When the next Hokage succeeds, I will be completely relieved."
Shiraishi smiled at this and said nothing.
"By the way, what is the reason for Hokage-sama coming here?"
"It's nothing serious, I just want to come out and walk around. You have been working with Tsunade recently, how is it, are you still used to it?"
"There is nothing I am used to or not, after all, I only have this effect."
"Don't underestimate yourself, medical ninjas are an extremely important part of Konoha now and in the future. If I agreed with Tsunade's medical reform earlier, the previous Second Ninja World War would not be..."
Having said this, Hiruzen showed a gloomy expression on his face.
The medical reform was officially launched during the Second Ninja World War, instead of vigorously training medical ninjas before the war.
If the decision had been made earlier, Konoha Ninja's sacrifice rate would not have been so high that the stalemate ended for several years when he finally mobilized to fight with Sand village.
"It's not Hokage-sama's fault. The coming of war was unexpected for all of us. It is the responsibility and obligation of our medical ninjas to save more people in the war. It is also because of this that I chose the path of medical ninjas. But I also want to thank Hokage-sama for paying attention to our medical ninja collective and giving us our status in the village today."
Shiraishi said firmly.
In the past, medical ninjas did not receive much attention in Konoha, and their status generally could not be compared with combatants.
It wasn't until the medical reform that the village raised its status as a medical ninja, and was followed by other villages.
Tsunade is indeed dedicated to the development of the village. No one in Konoha can compare with her in this regard.
Most of Konoha's new generation of medical ninjas have received more or less guidance from her.
And these medical ninjas trained by her have saved countless ninjas and villagers in the village. It is not difficult to imagine Tsunade's lofty status in the village.
"This is all the result of Tsunade's hard work, and has nothing to do with me, Hokage."
Hiruzen shook his head and smiled, seeing that his disciple had such a high reputation in the village, he was really very happy in his heart.
Only in this way can the village be stable.
His three disciples really contributed a lot.
Shiraishi stood there and looked at the students who were playing ninja games in the playground not far away from Hiruzen, and said: "The children nowadays are really happy, unlike a few years ago, they may be assigned to the battlefield as soon as they graduate."
"Yes, protecting these children is the greatest inheritance of the will of fire left by Lord Hashirama-Sama to the village."
"The first Hokage is a great person, and it is also the goal I yearn for. The will of fire passed down by him is also a great will worthy of everyone's Admiration."
Shiraishi said so eloquently.
Hiruzen smiled and said nothing. After a while, he said, "By the way, what do you think of the Uchiha people?"
Shiraishi thought for a while and said: "Although some people are too arrogant, I don't think they are bad in nature. It's just that the security team often receives complaints from villagers."
Speaking of this, he felt a little helpless on his face.
Hiruzen smiled and said: "That's right, Uchiha also inherited Lord Hashirama's will of fire. I hope that one day those villagers will also identify with the Uchiha clan and regard them as a family."
"Lord Hokage came to ask me about Ruri, right?"
Shiraishi considered it for a while, and asked Hiruzen a question.
Hiruzen became silent.
"I'm worried about her current state."
"I knew it, Lord Hokage, who manages so many things every day, why would he care about nobody like me?"
Shiraishi smiled bitterly straightforwardly, giving people a sense of freedom and ease that he didn't take this kind of thing to heart.
"As I said, don't underestimate yourself. Being able to be valued by the genius Jonin of the Uchiha clan undoubtedly proves your excellent and honest qualities. In my eyes, you are already an excellent Konoha ninja who has inherited Lord Hashirama's will of fire."
"It's just a joke, Hokage-sama, please don't take it seriously." Shiraishi smiled, then thought about it for a moment, and replied to Hiruzen: "Since Sakumo-Sensei passed away, Ruri's mood has not been very stable. To be honest, at that time, I was also very angry at the death of Sakumo-Sensei, but the deceased is dead, and Sakumo-Sensei doesn't want us to become like this."
"Sakumo is an excellent Konoha ninja..."
"Well, it is precisely because of this that I can truly understand Sakumo-Sensei. When he died, he made that decision with deep love for Konoha. As his former disciple, I only need to understand and inherit his will to live. After all, it is the duty and goal of us students to pass on the teacher's will."
Shiraishi stretched out his hand and shook it towards the sky, as if he wanted to grab something.
Looking at Shiraishi's bright and innocent smiling face, this is the smile and eyes that only a person with a pure heart can have.
Hiruzen was in a daze.
I feel a little bit moved that the young Shiraishi has been able to think about problems with a thinking that embraces everything.
And this kind of thinking is exactly the precious quality that Hokage needs.
Hiruzen has a feeling that if it is this person, maybe the Uchiha clan can truly integrate into the village and become a family.
"It seems that I was worrying for nothing."
Hiruzen smiled helplessly, but felt much relieved in his heart.
It is true that I am too worried. With such an excellent man with Hokage's thinking, that Uchiha genius will definitely not go astray.
Hiruzen has this kind of confidence.
"When you get married, I will be there on time and prepare a congratulatory gift for you."
"Ahem... Hokage-sama is just joking, Ruri and I are still early in this kind of thing."
Shiraishi blushed.
"Seventeen years old is not too young. I am almost engaged with Biwako at your age."
Hiruzen saw Shiraishi's slightly shy reaction, and smiled from the bottom of his heart. He is really a lovely and pure-minded young man.
For that Uchiha genius girl, it seems that there is nothing to worry about.
I really look forward to it, the happy future of the family in this village.
••••
"You are really late today."
"Sorry, Tsunade-sensei, I met Hokage-sama in the corridor just now, and we chatted for a while."
When he came to the office, Shiraishi also answered Tsunade's questions honestly.
"Sarutobi-sensei?"
Tsunade was slightly taken aback.
"Yes."
"What did you talk about?"
"Nothing, just a very ordinary thing."
Shiraishi replied with a natural expression.
"I see."
Tsunade nodded, and didn't ask any further questions.
At 5:30, after the experimental class was over, Tsunade left the class in a hurry, leaving Shiraishi here to answer the students who didn't understand the content of the class.
With Shiraishi's theoretical and practical knowledge, it is more than enough to teach these students.
Watching Tsunade leave, Shiraishi felt a little bit sorry.
I'm really sorry, Tsunade-sensei, for taking advantage of your kindness many times. He sighed inwardly.
But in order to avoid more troubles, this is the only way to do it.
You can fool the past today, but you may not be able to maintain good luck like this in the future.
Shiraishi really couldn't tell whether Hokage-sama would come to talk to him in two or three ways.
Shiraishi understands the truth that talking too much will lead to loss.
"Senior Shiraishi, I don't understand here, can you teach me?"
"Senior Shiraishi, I don't quite understand here."
"Senior Shiraishi..."
"..."
Surrounded by many girls, a pink atmosphere was created around Shiraishi.
Shiraishi was a little dizzy for a while, the experimental class didn't have many things, but there was no shortage of all kinds of cute girls.
While feeling dizzy, I also feel a little self-pity.
After so many years, the advantages of me have finally been discovered by the girls.
Being popular with girls is definitely the first experience in life.
"Okay, don't worry, just come one by one, and I won't run away, I will answer them all for you."
the other side.
"Senior Shiraishi is indeed a gentle person."
Rin Nohara, who didn't go there, said.
"Really? I'm just a softie, I don't know what's good about it."
Obito didn't go back directly after school, but waited outside the experimental class until the get out of class was over before coming in to find Rin.
"Obito, it's rude of you to say that."
Rin glared at Obito.
That's what it is. Obito whispered in his heart.
It's just a guy who eats soft food in their Uchiha clan.
To be so arrogant, surrounded by so many lovely girls.
"That guy Kakashi used to be like this too."
Obito remembered something and felt upset.
"Kakashi? Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Rin, what's so good about that kind of guy. He's already a Chunin now, and he's too busy doing tasks. Maybe he's already forgotten about us."
"Obito, you are still a duplicity. You really care about Kakashi."
Rin secretly smiled.
"There is no such thing. I hate him the most. He often says that I am a tail crane. I don't want to have anything to do with this kind of person."
Obito snorted coldly, with a cold expression that 'Kakashi and I' are enemies.
"But…"
Rin wanted to say something again, but Obito interrupted directly: "Oh, that's all in the past, don't mention it again."
"Okay." Rin nodded.
Obito heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at Shiraishi surrounded by many girls, and asked Rin:
"Speaking of which, Rin, why don't you ask for advice?"
"It's okay, I'll go to Senior Shiraishi's house to ask for advice at night."
Hearing what Rin said, Obito's face suddenly turned pale, and his heart sank.
"Rin...you don't think you like this soft meal, do you?"
"Obito, what are you talking about? I just respect Senior Shiraishi. Although Senior Shiraishi is very good, he is not my type."
Rin looked helplessly at Obito.
What the **** is going on in this guy's mind?
Most of the time, the root string is missing.
"I see."
Obito patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
Immediately remembered something, and asked cautiously: "What kind of boy do you like, Rin?"
Rin thought for a while, then smiled at Obito and said, "I won't tell you."
"Eh? Why? Aren't we friends?"
Rin blushed slightly and said: "This is not something that can be shared with friends, but I will always pay attention to that person."
Follow that person?
Rin already wants to belong?
Who's that person?
Obito felt like scratching an itch in his heart, no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure out who the person Rin had been paying attention to.
•••••
Hokage Building.
"Sarutobi-sensei, please don't involve irrelevant people."
"..."
Originally, Tsunade came to find him, Hiruzen was very happy.
But after Tsunade said this, the smile on Hiruzen's face froze.
"Leaving aside what happened during the Second Ninja World War, plus Sakumo, don't continue to play with this kind of political means. Especially people like danzo. You should know better than me what he did in the last Ninja World War."
When Tsunade mentioned the name Danzo, his face was obviously much gloomy.
"Danzo has already admitted his mistake. He has also made a lot of contributions to the village over the years..."
Hiruzen knew that Tsunade was referring to the fact that roots trapped the members of Sakumo's team during the Second Ninja World War.
"You really pampered him too much, Sarutobi-sensei."
Tsunade knew that there was no way to dissuade Sensei Hiruzen from his decision, so she couldn't help but interrupt Hiruzen's words.
"The village cannot do without Danzo. And I have decided to let Orochimaru replace me to monitor Danzo's every move."
Hiruzen felt that this matter could be disclosed to Tsunade in advance, after all, this is one of his most trusted disciples.
"Orochimaru? He joins the root?"
Tsunade frowned.
"It's not joining. Strictly speaking, it's some extreme actions to restrict Danzo."
Hiruzen explained.
Tsunade stood still and thought for a while, this method seems to be feasible.
This is indeed a method when Hiruzen doesn't want to clean up the roots.
"You still like this kind of compromise and balance."
It used to be the same, but in recent years, Tsunade has discovered that Hiruzen's method of balancing Konoha's internal situation has become more and more proficient.
To some extent, Tsunade doesn't know whether this is good or bad for Konoha's future, but it does limit the chaos inside Konoha and let all parties calm down.
"All of this is for the future of the village."
"Well, I can't convince you. But, no matter how you plan to handle the Uchiha matter, please don't involve irrelevant people. That kid is not suitable for such things as politics. It's like Sakumo who was forced to commit suicide by you. Let him go."
Tsunade already had a pleading look on her face.
Hiruzen fell silent when he heard what Tsunade said.
"I promise you, I won't go to him again."
Thinking of what Shiraishi said to himself before, Hiruzen felt that the problem was not too big.
That boy will guide Uchiha Ruri to become part of Konoha.
This will also indirectly ease the relationship between Uchiha and the village, and even get along harmoniously.
"Thanks."
Tsunade bowed slightly.
"By the way, is your illness still not cured?"
When Tsunade was about to leave, Hiruzen asked with concern.
Tsunade knew what Hiruzen was asking, sighed lightly, and shook her head.
"Really? No matter what, Konoha is your home, don't bear these pains alone."
"I know. I will train more medical ninjas for the village, in order not to make people feel the pain of losing their loved ones, and to save more lives..."
After saying this, Tsunade turned around and left under Hiruzen's gaze.
(PS: The next chapter is about inducing Kakashi, this chapter won't be too long, it can be solved in three or five chapters, and the next one is the defection chapter, which will be a bit longer.
