"Mr. Gu Zang?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly remembered that he hadn't heard from Gu Zang for a long time. It seemed that after Gu Zang appeared in Konoha Hospital several times in the past few years, this first-generation summoning beast had disappeared.

There have been rumors recently that Gu Zang's health is getting worse and worse, and he can't even get out of the door.

Thinking of Furuzo's age, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that Furuzo might die one day. Why did the teacher specifically mention Mr. Furuzo?

"Yeah, Gu Zang."

Senju Tobirama nodded.

"Gu Zang can be used, but he must not, must not let his hands touch the top leaders of Konoha, and must not let Gu Zang participate in Konoha's decision-making."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, wondering why Tobirama Senju had such a big opinion about Gu Zang.

As the summoning beast of the first generation, Gu Zang has a natural popularity in Konoha and is powerful. Gu Zang is not a ninja but a summoning beast, and he has no conflicts of interest between families or ninjas.

In addition, Gu Zang is a peaceful person and upholds the same equal attitude towards everyone as the first generation, so almost no one has any bad thoughts about Gu Zang.

And Mr. Kozō...is about to die. Sarutobi Hiruzen feels that Kozō may not live long.

But the teacher has his own reasons, and Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that Senju Tobirama's judgment will not be groundless.

"I understand, teacher."

"Okay, third, the Hyuga clan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned again and again. He really paid less attention to the Hyuga clan.

They are one of the few big families in Konoha, but they are inexplicably low-key. Even the new generation of ninjas have not been seen. It seems that they live their lives in seclusion.

"War is bound to break out on the Grass Country front. The Rock Ninja won't be able to sit still. This alliance has failed. The Cloud Ninja will definitely be preoccupied with themselves. Even if they don't help, they won't attack Konoha. Let the Hyuga clan help on the Grass Country front. The old man in the Hyuga family knows how to forbear. Don't go in person. Let Danzo go."

Senju Tobirama almost said directly that you are not as black as Danzo.

However, Hiruzen had a relatively clear understanding of himself and nodded in understanding.

"Fourth, regarding this battle, it is bound to happen, but the key point does not lie with the Sand Ninja and the Rock Ninja, but with the Rain Ninja."

Senju Tobirama sighed. The ninja world was in turmoil and had long deviated from the expectations of his elder brother Senju Hashirama, but he could not stagnate, nor could he end the war in the way of Senju Hashirama.

However, in this war, Senju Tobirama saw further. The competition for resources was very important to the other two ninja villages, but not so important to Konoha. On the contrary, the Rain Village was actually important to Konoha.

"First, hurt the Rain Ninja, then let Danzo contact the Rain Ninja. Try to win over the Rain Ninja to our side. This is the key to ending the war. Do you understand, Hiruzen?"

"I understand, teacher, but... can Konoha withstand an attack from both sides?"

As the Hokage's bodyguard, Hiruzen hardly thought about these issues. He just had to do whatever Tobirama Senju pointed at and hit the target without having to use his brain.

But as he was about to take office as Hokage, he had to change his thinking and start thinking about winning and losing, gains and losses, and the comparison of Konoha's combat power and its future.

"Very good, the Hokage must consider everything before making a decision."

Senju Tobirama immediately confirmed Hiruzen's question.

"Drag the Mist Ninja into this. The Second Mizukage, Mizuki Gengetsu, and the Second Tsuchikage have no old grudges against each other. All it takes is a reason, and Mizuki Gengetsu will definitely be brought to an end."

"Monkey, do you still remember the Whirlpool Village?"

Hiruzen nodded.

"The destruction of the Whirlpool Village was done by the Mist Ninja. I accept that."

Senju Tobirama slowly closed his eyes and raised his head.

Hiruzen was instantly struck hard by the thunder.

You have to know that the first generation, Hashirama Senju’s wife, Uzumaki Mito, is from the Uzushinobi Village!

Moreover, the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan have a generations-long friendly agreement!

"My sister-in-law knows, but there's nothing we can do. This is a compromise."

Senju Tobirama did not have more time to explain to Sarutobi Hiruzen that as an ally of the Senju, the Senju had already dispersed, and the existence of Uzushi Village was a thorn in the eyes of neighboring countries and the Konoha family.

A small ninja village or country must exist independently to last long. If it is discovered that it has sided with any side and lost its buffering function, then the only meaning of its existence will be destruction.

This is the case with the Uzumaki Village. Due to the agreement between the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan, the Uzumaki Village is naturally friendly with Konoha. Doesn't this become a bridgehead for Konoha to step into the sea?

Therefore, the Uzumaki Village was bound to disappear, but after negotiations, most of the Uzumaki clan's ninjas either changed their names and merged into Konoha, or drifted to other places. They were not completely slaughtered. The Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques were all in Konoha.

"If you use the Uzushinobi Village as an excuse, Suidō Gengetsu will agree."

Hiruzen looked at the resolute face of Senju Tobirama. Time had not left any obvious traces on this sixty-year-old man's face, but he was obviously a little tired and had taken on too much.

"Protect Konoha, Monkey. Keep your will, and you will become a great Hokage."

Senju Tobirama gently patted Hiruzen's shoulder. At the same time, the other five members of the guard team regrouped and returned.

"Huruzen takes the lead, you find an opportunity to break out."

Senju Tobirama immediately corrected his mood and returned to his indifference.

"I'll cover your retreat."

The tall figure and resolute tone, as if he was not going to die, but to kill all those who pursued him. This is Senju Tobirama!

"Teacher, take care!"

Hiruzen suppressed the sadness in his heart, bid farewell to Senju Tobirama, and immediately led the group of six away from the place.

Senju Tobirama looked at the six people walking away and remained silent for a while.

Then his aura rose steadily until it reached its peak.

boom! !

A huge amount of chakra gushed out, as if condensed into substance. With a casual grab, Senju Tobirama caught a kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God technique in his hand.

The huge chakra reaction immediately attracted the perception ninja of the Cloud Ninja, and the encirclement pressed towards here, and Jinjiao and Yinjiao also rushed in this direction.

But it’s not possible here, it’s too close to Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others.

Senju Tobirama released his chakra wantonly, which was as dazzling as a bright fire in the dark night to the perceptive ninjas.

He threw the Flying Thunder God Seal Kunai in the opposite direction, and his figure immediately shuttled away, leading the encirclement away from this place.

After half an hour of chasing, Senju Tobirama had already left the direction where Hiruzen and his men had broken out.

But he couldn't escape alone.

Once his attraction disappears, Hiruzen and the others will not be able to leave the Land of Lightning.

"Senju Tobirama, you're really good at escaping!"

"The Second Hokage is running away! He's not afraid to fight head-on!"

The two arrogant voices of Jinjiao and Yinjiao immediately chased after Qianju Tobirama when he stopped.

Senju Tobirama slowly turned half sideways and glanced coldly at Jinjiao and Yinjiao. His emotionless eyes gave people a murderous intent as sharp as a sword.

His thin lips parted slightly, and he uttered four words steadily.

"Come on, give it a try."
