Chương 46: Chapter 46 Asuma's Comprehension

The atmosphere in the conference room is very depressing. After a long time, Danzō finally complained furiously, "Sarutobi, look at the good disciple you taught!"

Sandaime nodded slightly and smiled kindly, "Yeah, I really teach a good disciple!"

Hearing Sarutobi's casual answer, Danzō was so angry that his facial features became extremely strange.

"You, you, you..."

Sandaime stopped looking at him, turned around and invited, "The sunshine today is very warm, why don't we go out for activities to loosen these old bones."

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu at each other, nodded, and followed after Sandaime.

Soon, only Danzō was left in the conference room, and he said furiously, "Hiruzen, you will regret it!"

...

At the same time.

Jiraiya, who followed Tsunade, asked, "Tsunade, you wouldn't really leave Konoha, right?"

"Perhaps, after all..." Tsunade sighed softly." This village established by grandpa has nothing to cherish for since a long time."

Jiraiya winked and said, "How can there be nothing to cherish for? Isn't there me and sensei?"

"Hehe, do you think I will miss someone who peek at someone else taking a bath?" Tsunade glanced at him contemptuously, and then her expression became complicated and incomprehensible, "As for sensei...why did we happen to be here, don't you know?"

Jiraiya was silent for a moment, and then said while laughing, "Don't say that, isn't sensei also doing this for Minato and your disciple!"

Tsunade looked cold, "So, he considers us as his tool to check and balance the situation?"

Jiraiya opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, I don't want to get to the bottom of these things. Perhaps, it's a blessing to not know anything!"

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, Jiraiya changed the subject and asked. "By the way, when you said you were leaving Konoha with Shizune, you actually said it to Danzō on purpose, right?"

Tsunade's eyes were serious, "If I don't say that, do you think he will stop? Don't forget that he's not the kind of person who cares about the lives of his subordinates."

Jiraiya nodded and asked again, "However, what will happen to your disciple after Shizune graduates? According to the normal graduation process, it will only take three or four years before Shizune graduates."

"Three or four years is enough."

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade strangely upon hearing this, "You mean to tell me that a ten-year-old child has the strength to fight against Danzō?"

"You don't understand, he is different from us. In him, I seem to see the light like grandpa. The kind of light that can make people around him to follow him actively and are willing to fight for his ideals."

Tsunade said, and the corner of her mouth rose slightly, "No matter how crazy Danzō is, it's impossible for him to fight against the whole village!"

Hearing this, Jiraiya rubbed his chin with amazement in his eyes, 'For Tsunade, a violent woman, to give him such a high evaluation, Shimizu Sōseki? I'm starting to be a little curious."

...

"Four hundred and thirty-one, four hundred and thirty-two..."

In the ward, the counts are accompanied by heavy breathing sounds.

"Sōseki, why did you get out of bed? You are a patient now, so you should have a good rest!" Asuma saw Sōseki doing push-ups as soon as he entered the room, so he hurried stepped forward and pulled him up.

"Don't worry, I am a Medical-nin myself. No one knows my physical condition better than me." Sōseki stood up with a smile, "But, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Sōseki noticed that Asuma's eye circles seemed a little too dark.

"Haha..." Asuma's eyes moved dodgingly, and then he said, "By the way, Sōseki, I'll cut the fruit for you!"

"Hmph! He was beaten by us!"

"That's right, how dare you take Sōseki to do such a dangerous thing!"

Behind Asuma, Shizune and Kurenai walked in.

"No wonder Asuma came in so quickly alone, was it for fear of being beaten again?" Sōseki laughed dumbfounded, and patted Asuma on the shoulder sympathetically, "I'm sorry, I made you..."

However, Asuma said with extremely excited red eyes, "No, they are right. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be hurt!"

Sōseki didn't know whether to cry or laugh upon hearing this, 'Is there no way for me, the "culprit", to apologize?'

After criticizing Asuma, Shizune and Kurenai quickly gathered around Sōseki, and asked warmly:

"Sōseki, is there any discomfort in your body right now?"

"Sōseki, do you want to eat now? I made some lunch for you!"

There seemed to be sparks flashing between Shizune and Kurenai's eyes, but when their eyes staggered, the two looked around in tacit understanding.

"Sōseki, let me clean the room for you."

"Then I will clean up the bed."

After watching it for a while, Asuma thought with a strange expression, 'Although that big brother from last night was very amazing, compared to Sōseki, he seems to be still far behind!'

"Huh? Asuma, why are you still here?"

"Yeah, don't you still have to go to the toilet?"

"When did I say I'm going to go..." Asuma first pointed at himself blankly, but when his eyes met the two pairs of murderous aura eyes, he instantly came to his senses, and covered his stomach with his hands, "Ouch, my stomach suddenly feels uncomfortable!"

With that said, he hurriedly rushed outside.

"Ouch, who is..." Asuma just rushed out of the door when he bumped into a soft body.

"You're so lively, completely different from the calm Sarutobi-sensei, little Asuma."

Asuma looked up and exclaimed excitedly, "Orochimaru -sama!"

Hearing him shouting like this, the people in the room were also excited and say hello.

Different from the dark image of the future, the current Orochimaru is more cool and handsome.

Furthermore, as the "first generation" civilian genius who was excavated by Sandaime, and also the huge contribution he made in the Second Shinobi World War, Orochimaru's popularity in Konoha is quite high currently.

Even in the eyes of many people, he is the future Yondaime Hokage.

Orochimaru smiled softly, "Aren't you going to invite me in to sit?"

Sōseki said shyly, "I'm really rude. I was just too excited for a while!"

Orochimaru walked in slowly, and looked at the other party secretly, "Is he the one who made Tsunade's dead heart come back to life?"

Sōseki restrained his thoughts, looked at Orochimaru with anticipation and a little nervousness and asked, "Orochimaru-sama, are you here today for what happened last night?"

Hearing Sōseki's question, Asuma also looks forward to it, "Orochimaru-sama, is the village going to reward us?"

As the top-level second-generation young master, Asuma actually doesn't care about the reward. He just enjoys the honor and recognition coming from the reward.

Orochimaru's gaze is gentle as he said, "Of course, you thwarted Kumogakure's conspiracy and protected your companions... Especially you, Sōseki, if you hadn't stopped the girl's rampage, I wouldn't even dare to imagine what would happen now!"
