Seeing that she had suppressed Hiruzen, Tsunade turned around and took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger on her face. After forcing out a harmless smile, she patiently advised Yuki,
"Yuki, not killing Hiruzen is also for the sake of the current situation. Although I am also very unhappy with his external strategies over the years, it is undeniable that during his decades of being the Hokage, not only in the village but also the network established by the entire Land of Fire is very large. Now that you have the power of the Land of Fire, there will definitely be many people in the country who will hesitate, wait and see, test, etc. If, at this time, the 3rd Hokage of Konoha was killed because he opposed you, then regardless of whether it was against you or the matter of being killed, it would cause the hearts of the people in the village to shake and the entire country of fire would also be in turmoil."
"Right now is the time you have control of the power; compared to the turmoil, stability is the most suitable requirement for the present. In addition, Hiruzen was the last person who appointed you as the 4th Hokage. No matter what you think, in the eyes of others, the former is your kindness in knowing the situation. In addition, Konoha has never fought with each other in the past. If this matter breaks out, not only will Konoha's reputation be greatly affected, but your own reputation will also be greatly damaged."
Listening to Tsunade's persuasion, Yuki's expression did not change, but when he heard the other side say that his reputation would also be damaged, he subconsciously changed.
After Tsunade, who was always staring at him, discovered this, she was excited and was ready to chase after him. Suddenly, she thought of what Yuki had said at the beginning and quickly suppressed her impatience.
She kept repeating "Gentle" in her heart, and soon her tone became soft again:
"Yuki, you are the most successful and most popular Hokage in the history of Konoha. If you kill Hiruzen, no matter how successful you are in the future, this thorn will never be removed. So, let him live. Of course, you can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment. If you don't make the situation too difficult, I think he will accept it."
"Even if he doesn't accept it, I will use my fist to make him accept it!"
In the end, Tsunade's nature finally couldn't be suppressed.
She stared at Hiruzen and said fiercely.
This also made Yuki, whose ears returned to normal, breathe a sigh of relief.
It had to be said that Tsunade had still worked hard.
To be able to make the opponent, who has always been opposed to politics, speak out such a long speech, the points are for his own consideration, and many words are indeed reasonable. Still, it is difficult for the opponent to be so quick-witted.
However, what did her tone mean when she spoke like a live slug?
Although he was not human, when he heard his gentle voice, it was as if he was listening to a mature big sister with a virtuous and gentle temperament whispering in his ear. He did not feel any discomfort at all.
However, Tsunade deliberately said this at this time. Yuki could only tremble in embarrassment.
Can you imagine a heroic, generous, and hot-tempered woman suddenly whispering in your ear like a docile woman?
It seems that he made a mistake before.
He shouldn't have asked Tsunade to be "gentle"!
It was better to keep it as it was.
Thinking of this, Yuki sighed deeply.
Tsunade didn't know what Yuki was thinking.
In order to save the old man of the third generation, she was now willing to lower her head and plead in front of Yuki, even becoming "gentle" as the other person said.
Although she also felt very uncomfortable, she could still grit her teeth and persevere.
But at this time, after she said many things, Yuki did not express anything, and he suddenly gave a strange sigh. She finally couldn't help but ask violently,
"What do you mean by this sigh?"
"It's nothing."
Yuki shook his head.
He could say that he was sighing over and over again. There was not a single woman close to him who was gentle and amiable.
Seeing this, Tsunade couldn't force him any more. She continued to chant "gentle" in her heart and returned to the original question: "In the end, I hope that you can forgive the third-generation old man's death for my sake. This stubborn and muddle-headed old man is still my teacher. This time, I owe you a big favour."
"Favor? It seems that Tsunade, you already owe me once!" Yunting muttered after hearing this.
Tsunade's face froze, and then she waved her hand. "Another one is fine too!"
"There are too many lice, right?" Yuki smiled and shook his head.
As if he did not hear it, Tsunade directly ignored this point and asked the final answer: "So, Yuki, what is your answer?"
"My answer."
At this moment, under Tsunade's nervous attention and under the gaze of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Yuki calmly said these words.
There was no more then!
One minute. Two minutes. Five minutes.
He waited for a full ten minutes!
For the final result, Tsunade was patient and didn't dare interrupt Yuki's thoughts.
Even if the so-called meditation was staring at her face.
This was the first time in her life that she felt so powerless.
But even so, after waiting for so long, she still couldn't hold on and said, "I say, Yuki, in the end, you still have to finish speaking!"
"Oh."
"My answer is, let me think about it."
Silence.
Incomparably silent.
If the scene at this moment was a manga, Tsunade should have drawn a big "well" on her temple.
Rumble!
In an instant, a huge explosion sounded from under Tsunade's feet, breaking the silence.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I have thought about it for so long! I have already thought about what I should have thought about! With just one sentence, you are so fussy. Yuki, you are deliberately making fun of me!"
At this moment, Tsunade finally abandoned her "gentle" posture. A huge amount of chakra suddenly burst out from her body, and her fists crackled. The ground under her feet cracked like an earthquake.
As if the female Tyrannosaurus finally woke up, Tsunade looked at Yuki with a pair of bright brown eyes and said,
"I don't care! Anyway, I'll leave my words here. Yuki, if you really want Hiruzen's life, you must step over my body!"
"If you want to fight, then hurry up!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade stood in front of Hiruzen, ready to fight.
Seeing this scene, although he felt warm in his heart, Hiruzen, who still had an extremely anxious expression on his face, was about to speak, but he was suddenly interrupted by a burst of applause from Yuki.
"This is the Tsunade I'm familiar with."
Facing the other party, who was baring his fangs and brandishing his claws, Yuki smiled.
Then he said, "Since Tsunade said so, then I will pardon his death penalty."
Hearing this, Tsunade and Hiruzen, who were ready to fight to the death, were stunned.
Because the result was too light.
It was as if you were ready to pay a great price to fight for something, but the result was that the latter only needed to bend down and pick it up in reality and could not react for a while.
Seeing this scene, Yuki shook his head slightly.
In fact, when Tsunade arrived, he already had plans to kill her.
Otherwise, what could he do?
In Tsunade's character, she would never sit by and watch her teacher be killed in front of her eyes.
Was he really going to fight Tsunade and step over her body as she said?
Even if he subdued her for a moment, the two of them would definitely turn against each other.
This was about his future happiness, and Yuki would not destroy everything because of Hiruzen.
In addition, it was just as Tsunade said, killing Hiruzen now had more pros than cons.
Compared to Danzo, Homura, and Koharu, Hiruzen was on a completely different level.
Yuki could simply kill the people behind him, but as the 3rd Hokage, Hiruzen was really difficult to deal with.
So, after Tsunade arrived, he took the opportunity to put down his hand.
As for why it took so long, Tsunade didn't dare to be angry, and her attitude was too rare.
Especially for Yuki himself had never seen Tsunade like this before, so he naturally had to admire her.
Just like how he had stared at Tsunade for ten minutes, he had been aggrieved and still had to maintain a kind look. He swore that he would never forget it in his life.
At this moment, after repeatedly confirming that what Yuki said was true, Tsunade finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She did not want to fight with Yuki if she had no other choice.
Fortunately, the result was still developing in a good direction.
Tsunade didn't think much about the matter that Yuki dragged on for so long. She walked forward and happily patted the latter on the shoulder several times. She laughed heartily and said, "Yuki, thank you for showing mercy! This time, I owe you a big favour!"
Feeling half of her body numb and looking at Tsunade, who was close at hand and smiling like a flower, it was difficult for Yuki to guess whether she was intentional or not. In the end, he just shook his head and said,
"You can continue to accumulate those worthless favours. However, Tsunade, you said before that you were willing to go back to Konoha. In that case, I will do what I say next. I can't change my mind! Otherwise, I will change my mind."
Hearing this, Tsunade, who had a bright smile on her face, instantly forced a smile.
But the situation was like this, so she could only nod slowly.
Looking at this, Yuki sneered in his heart.
Hmph hmph!
It wasn't easy for him to seize this rare and precious opportunity. If he still missed it, then he wouldn't forgive himself.
After wandering outside for so long, it was time for this woman to return home.
It had to be known that his feelings of wanting to collect money now were beyond words.
On the other side.
Seeing that only the two people of the Senju Clan had recovered, the still-tied-up Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that things had been set, he was not willing to fall out with Yuki because of him.
Fortunately, the two of them still had feelings for each other.
As for himself.
To be honest, who would be willing to take the initiative to die if he could live?
It was not like he had stepped into the hands of an enemy nation.
He just didn't know what punishment was waiting for him next.
After all, he could avoid the death penalty, but he clearly could not escape the punishment.
Also, Danzo.
When he thought of the most important person in his life, at this time, Hiruzen did not even have the interest to think about his future, and his eyes turned complicated as he sank into deep memories.
