He muttered that to himself.
Sandaime took a deep breath, then exhaled smoke, then showed a cold expression.
Even if the Uchiha clan could not afford to lose this one, it was the Hokage's word towards them, they couldn't just turn it off ?!
Knock it! Knock it! Knock it!
Right at this moment, a ninja knocked on the door.
"Sandaime-san! Naito is here. "
"Let him in."
Just when he heard Naito's name, his expression turned calm, then he put away the pipe.
Walking to the Hokage's office, Naito glanced over here and glanced over there, but without turning around, he headed straight for the Hokage's desk gently.
"Sandaime-sama!"
"It doesn't have to be so formal, get up."
Sarutobi looked at him with a smile as he asked: "How could it go in Konoha for so many years?"
"I think it's okay."
In fact, he wanted to add, that fortunately he was still alive.
but he's holding back.
However, Naito finally said, "Well, as the Hokage of Konoha, I think you already know how I've lived these past few years.
"Understand."
Sarutobi nodded gently, while her eyes showed a hint of appreciation.She also called Minato earlier.
With just two simple sentences, he already knew how Naito and Minato thought.
Even though they are only eight or nine years old, they can think like adults.
In that case, she did not need to talk to Naito like she did with the children.
"I understand that, after all, you are an outsider, and the conflict between villages is getting bigger and bigger ... Especially in the last few years, we're all in a war."
"Your design is in conflict with one of the five great Shinobi countries, Sunagakure, and is destroyed by them."
he stopped, then Sarutobi looked at Naito, but he found that his expression did not change, very calm, he nodded, then he continued.
"Our people don't see you, the children of another village, as one of us, and this is wrong, you've been treated badly here in Konoha, I know this. "
Sarutobi saw the hospitality on Naito's face
"You won't get the same treatment in the future."
Listening to Sarutobi's words, Naito knew that these words came from the heart.
In fact, the meaning of this sentence is that he must forget the past because from now on, he is a member of Konoha.
"Thank you, Sandaime-sama."
Naito's face gently showed a hint of gratitude.
Sarutobi laughed, then stood up from his chair, then he walked next to Naito.
"Although there are many conflicts, at least .. there will be no more wars in Konoha."
"Yes, yeah."
Naito nodded gently.
That's right, compared to the small villages that tear each other apart, Konoha is a peaceful place, leaving every day in fear, afraid of everyone around them, maybe the treatment is not so good, he said, but there is no fear of being affected by war, or waking up from a homeless day.
"Let's forget the past."
Sarutobi Pated Naito's shoulder, then kindly smiled.
"Your talent is very good, even mentally you are better than many adults, in fact, you are already a good ninja."
Here, Sarutobi paused for a moment, he slightly changed his tone, then continued: "But ..."
"Talent is good, but you must have a good time to grow and become stronger, after all you are still young."
"I hope you will be able to calm down, keep practicing don't rush, give every step of your own time, and be sure your future will definitely bloom in a nice color."Sarutobi's words are a little complicated.
He can't just say that he's still weak, and he needs to train in the right way to get better.
Because the real question is ... who can show him the right way ?!
in less than three months, he will fight with Samui for a battle of life and death.
With a little wonder, Naito guessed what Sarutobi meant, then he asked:
"Does Sandaime-sama mean, that I should give up against Samui after three months?"
Sarutobi was startled for a moment, then he admired his way of thinking, he was unclear about anything, but Naito guessed all that by himself.
"Yes, that's what I mean, even though you're amazing, there's still a big gap between you and Saumui."
"So this duel ... ..."
Just as he was about to finish his sentence, Sarutobi was suddenly interrupted by another voice.
"Sarutobi, the life and death duel cannot be pulled back!"
his voice sounded very calm.
Danzo was at the door, with eyes flashing with an inexplicable light, step by step she walked in. "
"Danzo's."
When Sarutobi saw Danzo, his brows furrowed.
"Naito is just a child, how can you apply this rule to him ?!"
"Sarutobi, the only thing I believe in is the rules, as long as there are rules about something it doesn't matter who it is going to be applied to, no one can take a life and death duel, no one can take a life and death duel, even you Hokage can't do nothing about it. "
Sarutobi kept a calm gaze, but his eyes shone with an inexplicable light.
Sarutobi knows Danzo's intention in doing this is to get Naito, he won't let go, he sees in Naito the man who will be his right arm in the future.
That's why he won't let go.
"Rules are also the creation of mankind, what if I change them?" Sarutobi said that coldly.
Danzo doesn't need much to understand Sarutobi's intentions as well, so she tries to push him over to give up, to release Naito.
"I wouldn't agree to it."
Danzo's expression turned very serious, then he said: "If you want to change the rules, you need to get the approval of the elders, and I think it won't be just me, I don't think it will be, many of them will not support you in changing the rules easily."
"You... ..."
After he said that, Sarutobi's expression turned furious.
What he said was true, the rules of Life and Death were created by the first Hokage Hashirama, when Tobirama became the Hokage he held the rules, these rules had not changed for more than two generations, changing it is difficult now.
In a large village like Konoha, there will always be conflicts between the main clans.
And this will always end up with some irreconcilable contradiction.
But this conflict from both sides will end in a fight, and this fight cannot be inside Konoha.
Sooner or later, they would try to ambush each other outside the village, and it would turn into chaos!
This rule was made to limit the number of defeats, in this way the only people involved in the fights were the two who had conflicts from the start.
That was the reason behind keeping this rule for more than two generations as the tradition of life and death dueling resolved many conflicts so far.
