Chapter:10 Apology
"Hokage-sama, how do you..."
Looking at Third Hokage standing outside his door, Sasuke made a surprised expression.
"I have nothing to do after get off work, so I came to see you. How about it? I didn't disturb your rest, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.
"No, how could it be? Please come in, the door is not the place to talk... Hatsuka,go make a pot of tea!"
Sasuke shouted to the head maid while inviting the third generation into the house.
"No need to bother, I just came to see you."
Sarutobi walked in happily and walked into this house that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
Sasuke led the way and took Hiruzen to the tea room for guests. Within a minute of sitting down, there was a knock on the door and Hatsuka walked in with a tea tray.
"Has Chika already gone to bed?"
Sasuke asked while Hatsuka was pouring tea.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has rested."
Hatsuka replied, she lowered her head and didn't glance at the two people in the room.
"It seems that I came at the wrong time."
The Third Hokage touched his beard and said with a smile.
"How could it happen? You can come anytime, Hokage-sama. It's because I didn't prepare in advance. The main reason is that Chika is still young, and she was tired from traveling all the way. She didn't have a chance to rest during the day, so she got sleepy early. I didn't expect that Naruto Sir, you will come, and you have arranged for her to rest in advance, and I am very sorry for neglecting Hokage-sama."
Sasuke bowed slightly and apologized.
Chika is indeed tired, this is the truth.
But having said that, even if Chika is full of energy now, he will use the same reason to prevent Sarutobi from seeing Chika.
If you have anything to do, just tell yourself directly. Anyway, the third hokage is here tonight, and the main purpose is not Chika, but himself.
"Don't say that. It's rude of me to show up without making an appointment in advance." At this point, the third generation paused. "Being able to become a noble as a ninja family, Sasuke, really gave me a big surprise."
"I am forced to do nothing. Uchiha has no ability to protect himself. However, these eyes are a treasure that everyone covets. In order to protect myself, I can only do this. I hope Hokage-sama can understand."
"I understand, I understand completely, and this is a good thing. Sasuke, don't be nervous. I'm not here to hold you accountable today."
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, his expression suddenly straightened.
"Actually, I had planned to come here before, but because the work in the village was too busy, the matter has been postponed until now."
He said, taking out a scroll from his sleeve and placing it in front of Sasuke.
"Lord Hokage, what are you..."Sasuke looked at the other person pretending to be confused.
"The two ninjas who attacked you before belong to the Roots. They are a special unit of the ANBU. They are led by Hokage Assistant Shimura Danzo. I usually give him part of the ANBU work. I originally hoped that he could do something for the village. I didn't expect that his ambition would grow day by day. He was suspected of contributing to the genocide of the Uchiha clan. That night he led the roots to steal the Uchiha clan's treasury and took the opportunity to steal a lot of Uchiha supplies. I have been recently I am busy investigating him just because I want to give you justice. Sasuke, due to my negligence, Danzo became bigger and caused harm to you and Uchiha. I cannot shirk my responsibility and I am really sorry."
At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly lay down on the ground and gave Sasuke a seat.
Sasuke jumped up in shock and hurried over to help the other person. "This, how is this possible, Hokage-sama, this has nothing to do with you, it's all Danzo's fault, you don't have to apologize to me."
He was talking, but he was muttering secretly in his heart.
By talking to this extent, this old guy basically made everything clear.
What is this for? Do you want to cut with Danzo? Is such a thing possible?
Sasuke couldn't guess what the Third Hokage was thinking, so he could only suppress his thoughts for the time being.
"In this scroll, there are some supplies recovered by the ANBU, including several pairs of Sharingan. I have made up for the missing supplies and now return them to you. This is the property of Uchiha, and now it belongs to its original owner., I hope you can forgive the old man's slow response."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was helped by Sasuke to sit up, and then pushed the scroll towards Sasuke. His expression was very serious and his tone was very sincere, as if what he said was true.
"How could I blame you, Hokage-sama? It's all that Danzo's fault. He really deserves to die. How could such a person... Well, I'm sorry, I was a bit rude. It's really..."combination punches really confused him.
But he has his own advantage, which is youth.
Anyway, he is still a child, only seven years old this year. When he is in agitated mood, others will not blame him if he says some inappropriate words, and he can also hide his true thoughts.
"There is also something about the funeral. The body has been kept in Konoha Hospital before. I originally wanted to hold the funeral after you recovered, but I didn't expect that you would suddenly go to see the daimyo. Now that you are back, it has been delayed for so long, and it is time to let go Rest in peace Fugaku, Mikoto and the rest of the Uchiha clan."
The Third Hokage continued.
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Sasuke wanted to complain.
There is no content about this funeral in the memory of the past life, but thinking about "Sasuke" experiencing such drastic changes at that time, as a normal seven-year-old child, it will definitely take a long time to get out of the shadows.
Sasuke couldn't figure out what the third hokage was going to do. This series Of The village had enough time to conduct several rounds of research on Uchiha's body and remove all the remaining memories from the body.
Even if the Anbu and the torture squad don't do it directly, the root will definitely complete the work, and Danzo will even take the initiative to ask for such a thing.
Now that he has emerged from the haze of genocide at an extremely fast speed, he has become the fiancé of a noble and a princess. It is probably for these reasons that the third generation had to return the body in advance, and even returned part of the supplies in the Uchiha clan's treasury. But all this is obviously the fault of the village and Danzo. Now that the Third Hokage has said it, he has to thank the other party. This old fox is really not simple.
However, if Sarutobi expects to gain his own gratitude by doing this, then he is just thinking about it.
After talking about the business, Sarutobi said some words of concern and encouragement. He stayed for half an hour before getting up and leaving.
Before leaving, he told Sasuke to get more rest, maintain a good attitude, take a walk around, relax and so on.
Watching the third hokage go away, the figure of Hatsuka suddenly appeared next to Sasuke.
"Is this the Hokage? He is indeed very strong. I was completely unaware of his presence until he knocked on the door."
Hatsuka expression was solemn.
These people boast that they are not weak, otherwise they would not be allowed to protect the daimyo.
But compared to Hokage, the strength of their group is just that. Even though the Third Hokage is so old, half of them are buried in the ground, but once a fight really breaks out, there is no problem for one person to defeat the Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors alone..
"Of course, that's the 'strongest' Hokage. Do you think it's a joke?"
Sasuke added the accent to the word "strongest".
But he knew in his heart that even though the reputation of the "strongest" among the third hokage was huge, his hard power was not something to be boasted about.
There is no doubt that the third hokage is already at the limit of ordinary ninjas because he can master the five elements of escape to the highest level and is known as a professor of ninjutsu.
