Lake Biwa sighed: "Students don't seem to be very interested in medical ninjutsu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen comforted: "Don't blame yourself, the fault is not yours."

Biwako shook his head and showed a relieved smile: "But fortunately, there is another student who is interested in medical ninjutsu, so it's not a waste. He is from Uchiha. His name is Uchiha Aokiji."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows. The name was quite impressive, and he seemed to have a talent that even Orochimaru praised highly.

Seeing him lowering his head and thinking, Biwako couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "Why do you know this student?"

"He seems to have a good relationship with my three disciples. The last time I met him, we fell asleep at the end. It was really impressive." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked into the distance and recalled.

Biwako agreed: "Yes, when he was at school, I saw that he was listless all day long. He always slept on his stomach during class, and the teacher couldn't do anything about him. However, even so, this child is among the best in actual combat."

Just as he was talking, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly noticed a sneaky figure approaching quietly, and said with a smile: "Teacher Yuan Fei, what are you and your wife talking about? You are so selfless."

Lake Biwa blushed when the rumor was revealed, but did not argue.

The two of them have almost done what they should and should not do. Soon, the two of them will probably consider officially getting married. If they have children before marriage, it will be troublesome.

"You guy!" Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed Jiraiya's ear and twisted it hard, causing Jiraiya to scream in pain and begging for mercy: "Teacher Yuan Fei, I won't dare to do it again next time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and cursed: "Just know it hurts, let's see if you dare next time."

After saying that, he let go of his hand, and within two seconds, Jiraiya immediately changed his face, made a face, and said coquettishly: "Next time, for sure."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was furious and just wanted to give him some color. After thinking about it, he suddenly decided to put aside the matter of teaching Jiraiya a lesson: "Jiraiya, I want to ask you something."

"What's going on?" Jiraiya looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen warily, using himself to save others, thinking that he was waiting for him to relax before making a sneak attack.

As if sensing Kiraiya's thoughts, Yuan Fei Hiruzen said amusedly: "If I really want to hit you, do you think you can run away?"

"Oh, this is the same." Jiraiya put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "Tell me, ask me for anything."

Sarutobi Hiruzen resisted the urge to beat Jiraiya: "You are familiar with Aokiji, right?"

"Who? Aojiha, Uchiha Aokiji?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"It looks familiar, right?" Jiraiya asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I'm just suddenly interested in how he became good friends with you, Orochimaru, and Tsunade."

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru have very different personalities. Orochimaru in particular has a cold and aloof personality. It is hard to imagine that someone of his age would be in his eyes, and he would even feel ashamed of himself.

"It's simple." Jiraiya understood and waved to Tsunade and Orochimaru, calling them to come.

Soon, the two of them approached, and they glanced at Jiraiya with a questioning look in their eyes. Among them, a certain woman had a fierce look in her eyes. If Jiraiya didn't give a satisfactory answer, she probably wouldn't mind punching him.

Jiraiya took a gulp of water and said, "Teacher Yuan Fei asked me to ask you something, how did you two get along with Aokiji?"

"What does it mean to be good? Can you use the word more accurately?" Tsunade said speechlessly: "I don't know if you thought I was having an affair with him."

Jiraiya didn't take it seriously: "What does it matter? I just need to understand."

Tsunade was too lazy to answer and turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen to ask about the specific situation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen told the three disciples the whole story about Lake Biwa.

Tsunade opened her mouth and said in surprise: "It's really rare for this guy Aokiji to pay attention to the class. Could it be that this guy is interested in medical ninjutsu, but I don't think he is that type of person."

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked: "Has he always been like this?"

Tsunade was silent for a moment: "When I met him, he seemed to have always been like this. I asked about his earlier friends, and I heard from him that Aokiji used to be a very diligent person, but his personality changed drastically after his grandma passed away. He became very undisciplined, had no interest in becoming a ninja, and even looked down upon him."

After hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi understood and felt sympathy for Aokiji's plight, and asked these three people what they thought of Aokiji.

Orochimaru: Aoji-kun is the only man who can penetrate the depths of my soul.

Jiraiya: He has the same hobbies as me.

Tsunade: This guy is very good at cooking. He is a good tool man.

Sarutobi Hiruzen:...

Hearing the comments from his disciples, he could not understand Qing Pheasant even more.

Going back to the original question, in this case, why did Aokiji show a strong interest in medical ninjas, and even changed his usual attitude and listened carefully.

At this time, Orochimaru, who still knew Aoji relatively well, expressed his thoughts: "If I guess correctly, Aoji-kun is not actually interested in medical ninjas, but more interested in "gou"."

Chapter 21 Sarutobi Hiruzen as a Human

"Gou?"

This word was quite novel, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, half understanding.

"The word 'go' is something Aoji-kun usually likes to talk about." Orochimaru said with a smile: "He doesn't want to be a ninja. The main purpose is to live a comfortable life."

"A comfortable life?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was confused when he heard this.

Qingzhi is sleeping in class all day now. Isn’t his life comfortable? Also think about how comfortable it is.

Orochimaru continued: "Aoji-kun said: When ninjas perform missions, they often have to go deep into enemy areas. Sometimes they may escape death, and the possibility of death in battle is too high. So he is not interested in ninjas, and in contrast, medical ninjas do not need to go deep into enemy territory. In enemy territory, you can only move in the rear, and your life will not be in danger. I think this is the most likely possibility that Aoki-kun is interested in medical ninjas."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless.

Aokiji, this child is so un-Uchiha

In my impression, Uchiha are all fighting mad, no matter life or death, how could they be as cowardly as Aokiji.

He looked at Biwako and asked her if she had talked about the survival rate of medical ninjas during her lectures. The reply was a nod of affirmation.

Jiraiya also added some information about Aokiji: "That being said, it really fits this guy's style. Although this guy is not interested in ninjas, he will still get serious when it comes to living a comfortable life. .For example, last time he specifically asked me for training methods on the art of channeling."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled, and then he remembered that he seemed to have taught his disciples the art of channeling. He put aside the matter of Aokiji first, and Jiraiya could teach him. Does that mean that he had already learned the art of channeling?

He asked his disciples about their psychic skills, and received a hesitant reply from Jiraiya: "Uh... this, this."

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could continue his greetings, Tsunade asked three times:

"He wants you to learn psychic skills?

"You also know how to channel spirits."

"When?"

Jiraiya said: "Have you forgotten? It was the last time I demonstrated the psychic technique. Afterwards, Aokiji came to me and expressed that he wanted to learn the psychic technique."

Tsunade couldn't help but joked: "With such a poor level, I still have the nerve to teach others, I'm afraid it will be a mistake for others."

Jiraiya blushed, scratched his neck, and defended: "Who said I can't do it anymore? I was just practicing at that time."

Tsunade skipped this question. She knew Jiraiya too well and wanted to save face: "Why did he ask you to learn psychic skills?"

Jiraiya said nonchalantly: "Because he's lazy. It's not like you don't know his character. All his motivations are to be lazy and comfortable.

"He feels that sometimes it is too tiring to do things alone, so he wants to learn the art of psychics, and then let the psychic beast do things for him to share the pressure, such as running errands, shopping for groceries, simple tasks like this."

Tsunade was stunned: "This is really Aokiji's style. He is willing to take action in order to live a good life, even if it is a little troublesome and hard at the beginning."

Qing Pheasant is good at cooking, but he studied cooking on his own because he didn't like the food in the village. Sometimes, even Tsunade can't help but admire him. He has such a bright mind and can learn everything very quickly. As long as he is willing to learn, nothing seems to be difficult for him. He is just very unmotivated. This is his biggest flaw.

Through the exchanges between students, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a preliminary understanding of Aokiji.

This is a weird person who is obviously a genius, but always thinks about not doing his job properly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his chin. Since Aokiji doesn't like fighting, maybe he can be guided to become a medical ninja in the future. This can be considered as making the best use of his resources. It is better than wasting his own talents. Such a good talent should be Just do your best for the village.

Moreover, leading Aokiji to the medical ninja also has a political purpose.

As a disciple of the Second Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi could naturally feel his teacher's wariness towards Uchiha due to his daily exposure.

Although the Second Hokage never said it explicitly.

The Uchiha clan serves as the Konoha Guards in Konoha and has a high reputation and power. On the surface, it is the second-generation Hokage's trust in Uchiha, but in fact, it is monitoring, controlling, and even quietly reducing Uchiha. Uchiha's strength.

I heard that the police team went to very high mountains, but in fact, they were responsible for taking care of small vendors and maintaining simple law and order every day. It was a bit funny to let one of the strongest ninja clan in the ninja world send elites to take charge of these things, and it felt like killing a chicken with a bull's-eye.

But this is not an exaggeration. Since the establishment of Konoha Hidden Village, it has never been attacked. The Konoha Guards are more like a symbol. At best, they are mascots, at worst, they are decorations.

Making Uchiha tired of trivial things every day can squeeze Uchiha's training time and reduce training opportunities. For this reason, the Uchiha clan has no other ideas. After all, in their view, this is the village's trust in their clan. Not to mention how hard and responsible you are.

The consequence of working too hard is to strictly follow the rules and be unselfish and even a little unkind to the vendors in the village. This will inevitably arouse strong resentment among the villagers, thus affecting the reputation of the village and making it unpopular.

After all, blocking someone's way of making money is like killing one's parents.

A person who is recognized by everyone may not be able to become Hokage, but a person who is not recognized certainly cannot become Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's living father, the patriarch of the Yuan Fei family, had always instilled political ideas into him, hoping that one day he would train him to become Hokage and take the family a step further.

Don't look at the fact that he always likes to put things in his own hands and seems to be at a disadvantage, but he is actually very smart.

There is something to do with home.

Besides, this is just a matter of effort.

And don't underestimate this seemingly inconspicuous little action. A person's image is accumulated bit by bit, and even forms a habitual thinking, and this kind of character image is also the most solid and unbreakable.

Even if they make a mistake, the first thing people will not think about is not to condemn, but to think about whether you will be framed. Because of inertial thinking, people will have a subconscious feeling: This person is familiar, not this kind of person.

It was with this wisdom that Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered a large number of extremely loyal followers around him.

Compared to this, his friend since childhood, Shimura Danzo, seems too... naive.

There is an obvious utilitarian mentality in everything he says and does.

For example, if Hiruzen Sarutobi helps his companions move to the rear, then Danzo will jump out and express that he also wants to move to the rear, simply because he wants to compete.

In fact, in the opinion of Sarutobi Hiruzen, this kind of behavior is really unnecessary because there is no benefit in return.

He helps his companions for goodwill, but Danzo does this just for the sake of competitiveness. Even if he helps his companions, in the eyes of others, you are only doing it for competitiveness and selfishness, and will not gain much favor from others.

"Fortune favors fools.

This sentence is a piece of extremely high political wisdom.

This kind of advanced wisdom would be difficult for Danzo to understand for a while.

But it's no wonder, after all, Danzo has lost his father and grandfather since he was a child, and the Shicun family is not a unified one. They regard him as the clan leader's competitor, but there are many, so this kind of way of life is not possible. People have taught him, and he can only understand it on his own.

The current Sarutobi Hiruzen is no longer the child who hid in the mountains with the group and chased after the children, the child with pure dreams.

Becoming Hokage and protecting the village is just a child's dream, but adults want to use it as a platform to gain profits and expand the family.

The village is important, but Yuan Fei's family is the only thing he can truly rely on.

The major ninja clans had this in mind long before they joined Konoha. Just because there is no hope now doesn't mean there will be no hope in the future.

The only thing that remains unchanged in this world is change. The difference is that some people change earlier and some change later.

His life has already been painted with various colors.

Sometimes Sarutobi Hiruzen always felt that he was getting further and further away from the simple self in the past.

But there was no way, he was not a member of the Uchiha clan, and he couldn't do whatever he wanted.

Not everyone has the power to transcend the world like the Uchiha clan. If "ordinary people" like him in the strict sense want to defeat those ninjas with bloodline limits given by God, they can only use their brains more. It is not something that ordinary people can do to subdue others with force like the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, conquering others with force is only a temporary skill. The real skill is to use "love" to influence them and make them work for you.

In fact, deep down in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very envious of the Uchiha, and even felt jealous.

With the Sharingan as their power, most of these people live their own lives.

In terms of personality, I say whatever I want to say and don't hide anything, even if this may seem a bit arrogant to others.

A person's talents are determined from birth.

It is roughly divided into three levels based on talent.

The first level, pray to God for food:

That is the bottom layer. This layer has the largest number of people, which are ordinary ninjas in the conventional sense, and do not have any bloodline limits.

Sarutobi Hiruzen belongs to this level of ninja. Although his talent is very good, his essence has not changed and he still uses ordinary ninjutsu.

The second level, God feeds you:

A ninja with a bloodline limit is born at a point that others cannot reach, and possesses a bloodline limit that others only dream of.

The third level: It’s not enough for God to chase you and feed you, he also has to use chopsticks to pick up rice and force it into your mouth, as if he’s afraid that you won’t be able to use your hands…
