Chapter 64 You will regret it
Perhaps because he felt intimidated by an old man, Shiba felt that he had lost the face of the royal family. He mustered up his courage, walked around in front of Elder Yasuhi, pointed at his nose and said, "Hey, old man, don't you know that you just knocked me down?"
Elder Yasuhi shook his head, In my impression, it seems that most nobles have this character.
Obviously, their strength is not even as good as a Genin, but they are more arrogant than anyone else. I don't know who gave them the courage.
"Damn it, one by one, they look down on me." Shiba stamped his feet in anger, helpless and furious.
The girls here look down on him, and the boys look down on him, and now even an old man dares to ignore him.
This is really unacceptable to him who has been spoiled since childhood.
Before coming here, Hades had warned Shiba more than once that ninjas were powerful and that he should not treat them as normal people.
However, since he grew up in such an environment, it was not easy for him to change his contempt for ninjas.
Sometimes, it is useless to just talk about reason.
It was for this reason that Hades sent his son here not only to gain the power of the Senju clan, but also to let his son suffer a loss and make him pay real attention to ninjas.
As a noble, he had a lot of trial and error costs, but he might not know that in the world of ninjas, a mistake is often fatal.
...
...
The next day, early in the morning.
Sarutobi Hiruzen woke up from bed, had a simple breakfast, and dressed up as a Hokage.
Walking on the road, everyone in the village recognized him and bowed to show respect.
Sarutobi Hiruzen enjoyed this feeling very much, showing a friendly and kind smile to consolidate his personality, and then walked to the Hokage's office as usual.
It has been a while since he became the Hokage, and he has become more and more adept at handling all the big and small things in the village.
He can even squeeze out some time to steal a half-day of leisure, slowly drinking green tea, watching the crystal ball, and peeping at a young and beautiful girl. His life is so comfortable.
"What a leisurely day..." There was no one around, Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched lazily and pretended silently: "I really want to find something to do."
As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was suddenly opened with a bang, followed by a series of urgent words: "Oh no, Third Hokage, something big has happened."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was choked by the tea and coughed a few times before he recovered: "What happened."
The ninja standing at the door hesitated for a moment and said: "The son of Prince Hades, has become an fool."
"What? It turns out that he has turned into a ... Wait, what did you say?" The news was like a bolt from the blue. Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "What's going on?"
"I just received the news. According to several servants brought by His Highness Shiba, he was fine yesterday, but when he woke up, his eyes were dull, his mouth was full of drool, and occasionally he spoke in babbling language, and sometimes even..."
"What happened?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.
"Uh... eating feces, it sounds really good."
Hearing this early in the morning, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just finished breakfast, felt a little nauseous. He closed his eyes tightly, came back to his senses, and said solemnly: "I know, I'll go there now."
As soon as he stepped out of the door, someone ran up to him, pointed at his nose, and asked sternly: "Hokage, you owe us an explanation."
.He is a retainer of Ranjin and accompanied him to Konoha.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has an unquestionable responsibility as the Hokage.
"I know. Please believe that I will do my best to treat His Highness Shiba." Sarutobi Hiruzen rushed to the hospital as fast as he could.
As soon as he saw Shiba, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but cover his nose.
He smelled a stinky smell coming out of Shiba's mouth. It seemed that he had eaten a lot before he was found to be an idiot.
When several retainers with the first-grade hair saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, they immediately stepped forward, glared at him, and questioned him in a fierce voice.
They did this not only to blame Sarutobi Hiruzen for not protecting Shina, but also to shirk responsibility and put the blame on Sarutobi Hiruzen as the host.
To some extent, these retainers also have some responsibility for not protecting their master well, and they should commit seppuku.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has never been treated like this since he became Hokage, but he has no choice but to accept the constant nagging and accusations of a group of people who are not as powerful as him.
Fortunately, at this time, Danzo, who was a good friend, could not bear it any longer. He shook his body and shouted loudly: "Enough, now is not the time to blame. No one wants to see this situation. The most urgent task is to treat Shiba in time. If it is delayed, can you bear the responsibility?"
"What do you mean by delayed? It's as if we are also responsible." The retainers of the head of the month fought back: "I tell you, this matter is not over. If your village cannot treat His Highness Shiba, we will definitely appeal to Prince Hades. If he knows that his precious son has become like this, he will definitely not trust you anymore. We can't guarantee how much budget he will allocate at that time."
"Don't threaten Konoha with this matter. No one can escape responsibility for such a thing."
The group of retainers of the head of the month wanted to argue.
Danzo released the murderous aura
They shut up as if they will be killed by a sword if they speak.
After a while, the voices of accusation gradually faded.
Sarutobi Hiruzen got a chance to catch his breath and cast a grateful look at his old friend.
Danzo didn't appreciate it and snorted coldly.
He looked down upon Sarutobi Hiruzen's appeasement attitude. As the Hokage of Konoha, he was actually scolded by several retainers whose status and position were far lower than his own.
It didn't matter if Sarutobi Hiruzen lost face, but Konoha couldn't afford it.
Tobirama Sensei was gone now, and there was no one to shelter them, the disciples.
As disciples, they had to be independent and shoulder the burden of the village.
And even if Konoha was wrong in this regard, were these retainers who protected Shiba not at wrong?
Therefore, Danzo was very confident and didn't think Konoha had done anything wrong.
In a room in the hospital, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Danzo: "Thank you for what I said just now."
Danzo said ungratefully: "Don't be so sentimental. I did this for Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. He really wanted to slap him. Why was he pretending to be so cool? Now something big has happened. He went straight to the point: "What is the specific situation of His Highness Shiba?"
Danzo's expression was solemn: "The examination results show that he was hit by an illusion."
"Illusion?"
"Yes, it's a very powerful mental illusion. Under the powerful mental impact, the ordinary person's brain, Shiba, could not bear the burden and turned into an idiot."
"Is there any hope?"
"There's no cure."
Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Do you know who did it?"
Danzo shook his head, his face solemn: "The murderer is very powerful. Even if he peeked into Shiba's memory, we couldn't find any clues."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked worried: "I didn't expect that Konoha would have such a powerful spy. What is his purpose?"
Danzo snorted: "Isn't it obvious? To instigate the relationship between Konoha and the daimyo."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed a little heavier: "What should we do?"
"Put the spy matter aside for now, Hiruzen, I ask you how you are going to deal with these retainers?" Danzo asked grimly
"What else can I do? Of course, appease him first, and then find a way to heal Shiba's brain."
Hiruzen said weakly
"Stupid, this idiot is hopeless, what's the point of appeasing him, I think it's better to just..."
Danzo had a dead face and murderous eyes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted, "Stop, don't make it worse."
Danzo said coldly, "Wrong, I am trying to reduce the severity of the situation. If Shiba's brain is not healed by then, what do you think they will say when Prince Hades asks about it that day?"
Hiruzen shouted"Don't kill innocent people."
Danzo said righteously"This is for the village."
Hiruzen still didn't give in "That won't work either."
Danzo shouted his iconic lines for the first time "Hiruzen, you will regret it."
Hiruzen completed his play for the first time "Danzo , I am the Hokage now."
