In the Hokage office, Sandaime was dealing with official business when suddenly he seemed to feel something. He closed the document and took a puff from the cigarette next to him. "Come in."
Whoosh!
An Anbu member quickly appeared in the room and said: "Hokage-sama, I have something to report."
"Speak."
"Just now, we were patrolling the village and found someone climbing the Hokage Rock …"
"Hokage Rock?" Sandaime frowned: "Naruto again?"
Since he was a child, in order to get the attention of the villagers, Naruto would often run to the Hokage Rock and doodle on the statues of the four Hokage. Sandaime has long been accustomed to this. If it was any other child, they would most likely be punished, but for Naruto, Sandaime felt that he owed him something, so he turned a blind eye to it.
It's just that, since he followed Kakashi, Naruto's recent performance has been quite good, so why did he suddenly run to the Hokage Rock to make trouble?
"No, it's not Naruto, it's Tang Hao."
"Huh?" Sandaime's eyes suddenly widened as he subconsciously said: "Tang Hao? Tang Hao is already a grown man, but he still ran to the Hokage Rock to make graffiti. "
"He didn't make graffiti."
"Then what did he do?"
"Sing … Sing."
"Sing?" Sandaime-sama was completely stunned, a good ninja, when there is no task, he doesn't go to exercise or rest, even if he finds a girl to fall in love with, it's fine, but he suddenly ran to the Hokage Rock to sing, what kind of mental illness is this?
"Did he do anything other than singing?"
"It seems … no."
"Well …" Sandaime asked a few more questions, but suddenly he didn't understand. But his intuition told him that Tang Hao shouldn't be idle to this point. Maybe there is some other hidden meaning behind this seemingly random action. What is it?
Is it related to the Hokage Core?
What a joke, does he need to sing to develop the Hokage Core?
Sandaime quickly rejected this idea. Anyway, he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he said: "Well, you keep an eye on him. As long as he doesn't do anything out of line, such as destroying the Hokage Rock, don't disturb him. Report to me if anything happens … Right, go find Kakashi."
"Yes."
The Anbu members immediately left, while Sandaime-sama smoked his pipe again. He has an observation ninjutsu called the Telescope Jutsu, and usually he likes to stand on the top of the Hokage Building to observe Konoha. Not long ago, he saw Kakashi and Guy in contact with Tang Hao, and Tang Hao went to Hokage after that, so maybe Kakashi knows something.
After a while, Kakashi once again came to the Hokage office. When he heard Sandaime's question, Kakashi was also confused. What does it have to do with him that Tang Hao went to the Hokage Rock to sing?
"But he seemed to have said before that he was looking for some kind of signal, and he also said that the air in Konoha is not very good."
"The air of Konoha … Well, I understand, you can go now."
After Kakashi left, Sandaime-sama sat in contemplation for a moment, then got up and went to the window, looking at the Hokage Rock in the distance, the corner of his mouth curled up, revealing a meaningful smile as he murmured: "So that's how it is, this guy is still a little ambitious."
He already understood the intention of Tang Hao, or rather, the hint!
Tang Hao said that the air in Konoha is not good, of course, this is not referring to the real air, but the wind, or more directly, it refers to the unstable storm hidden under the calm appearance of Konoha.
First of all, outside of Konoha, some powerful ninjas such as Orochimaru and Itachi defected and left the village. Although it seems that they have nothing to do with Konoha, but according to Jiraiya's investigation, Orochimaru seems to have joined a mysterious organization, and the members of that organization are all A-class and above wanted criminals.
Of course, Orochimaru joining such an organization is not for fun, he must have some purpose, and may even pose a threat to Konoha, this is the first reason.
The second reason is that within Konoha, the problem of the shortage of young and old has long been very obvious, coupled with the fact that since the five great shinobi villages signed the peace agreement, except for the few known extraterrestrial demons, the entire shinobi world has been too comfortable. Although war is not a good thing, without the impetus of war, the strength of the shinobi will not have explosive growth.
As the saying goes, people are born in suffering, and die in peace.
Although he never longs for war and prays for eternal peace, as long as there are disputes in various countries and villages, true peace will never come, and with the current stagnant state of Konoha, once a large-scale war breaks out, the consequences can be big or small!
Obviously, not only himself, but also Tang Hao has seen the huge hidden danger lurking under the peaceful appearance of Konoha.
Then there is Shimura Danzo, now that he is still sitting in the position of Hokage, even if Shimura Danzo has ulterior motives, he won't dare to go too far, he can barely restrain him, but how many years do he have left to live? Once he can't even control himself, what Shimura Danzo will do, Kuroto can't imagine.
It can be said that the current Konoha is in such a situation of internal and external troubles.
Therefore, Tang Hao said that the air in Konoha is not good.
And what is the signal that Tang Hao is talking about?
Obviously, what he is looking for is not a signal, but an opportunity!
An opportunity that can allow him to rectify the atmosphere of Konoha.
That's why Tang Hao did such an eye-catching thing as singing on the Hokage Rock. Singing is not his purpose, but it is a hint to himself. The Hokage Rock represents the past Hokage, and by standing on it, it is undoubtedly a hint that what he is going to do will surpass the previous Hokage.
"For the peace of the world, I also want to ask: Where is Texas?"
In the Anbu's report, this is one of the lyrics of Tang Hao's song. He doesn't understand Texas very well, but if it is not a person's name, then it may refer to the past Hokage, and then this sentence was changed.
"I want world peace, and here I want to ask: Can the Hokage do it?"
Obviously, this is the real meaning that Tang Hao's lyrics want to express!
And the fact is indeed so, the Second and Fourth Generations, including Sandaime, have not been able to bring peace to the Shinobi world. Originally, Shodaime had the strength to do so, but he didn't do so. Instead, he distributed the nine tailed beasts to the major villages. In this way, Shodaime established the Shinobi community, and at the same time, maintained a relative balance between the major villages, thus achieving the goal of peace.
However, it is precisely because of the existence of these tailed beasts that the gap between the strength of the various villages has been further widened, and with the growth of strength, the hearts of the villagers have also swelled, which eventually led to one war after another.
Thinking of this, Sandaime couldn't help but sigh.
He has no intention to comment on the rights and wrongs of Shodaime, but facts have proven that Shodaime's dream of peace has not been realized.
And Tang Hao has a goal beyond this. He wants to ascend to the position of Hokage, reorganize Konoha, and even surpass the previous Hokage, pointing his sword towards the peace of the Shinobi world!
What kind of lofty aspiration was that?
Sandaime looked up at the sky with a trace of worry and longing.
He grew up under the guidance of Shodaime and Nidaime and became a ninja. Shodaime taught him the importance of the village, and Nidaime taught him the spirit of Konoha. He has always followed the teachings of these two sages and dedicated his life to Konoha. As for the entire Shinobi world, his ability is limited, and he has never thought about it.
However, looking back at the past, in his long forgotten youth, did he have such ambition in his heart, to carry the entire Shinobi world with his own strength?
Sandaime sighed in his heart.
He doesn't hate ambitious people, as long as they don't twist their heart on the path forward, then ambition is only a driving force for growth.
For example, among his three disciples, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru. Although Sandaime is very clear about Orochimaru's ambition and the darkness hidden in his heart, he still likes Orochimaru the most. Unfortunately, Orochimaru eventually went astray.
As for the remaining two, Tsunade ran away for love and hasn't returned to the village for many years. She is also undisciplined by nature and only likes to travel around the world, not the position of Hokage. These two people don't have the slightest ambition, and they are even more of a headache for him than Orochimaru.
Every time he thinks about it, he has a feeling of resentment towards Tsunade and Orochimaru. As long as either one of them is willing to stay in the village and is willing to inherit his position, then why would he need to worry about Shimura Danzo and the future of Konoha?
It wasn't easy for a genius like Minato Minato to appear in the village, but he died young.
'Sigh, I'm tired!'
Sandaime sighed heavily, and then thought of Tang Hao.
He can't carry the burden of Konoha anymore, and in the current Konoha, not counting Tsunade and Jiraiya, the most suitable person to inherit the position of the Fifth Hokage is indeed Tang Hao.
Before this, he also considered this problem, the only thing he was worried about was Tang Hao's own attitude and his belonging to Konoha.
But now, Tang Hao has hinted to him his attitude, his ambition is to be the Hokage and the peace of the Shinobi world, so there is not much problem in passing this position to him. As for the belonging to Konoha, as long as he becomes the Hokage, how can he not have a sense of belonging?
Moreover, once Tang Hao becomes the Hokage, the problem of Shimura Danzo is tantamount to solving itself.
Of course, it is not so simple for Tang Hao to become the Hokage. Although his strength is enough, his popularity … In the past, Tang Hao has been living under the aura of Yondaime-Sama, and only the elite Jonin and above have some understanding of him, coupled with the fact that he has been away from the village for ten years, the number of Konoha ninjas who know him can be counted on one hand.
In this case, even if he is strong, how can he obey the Shinobi?
"Sure enough, I need an opportunity."
Sandaime took a puff of his cigarette. Obviously, Tang Hao is also looking for this opportunity, but he can't find it by just looking, then …
Suddenly, Sandaime had an idea, he picked up his pipe and tapped it twice on the window.
Whoosh!
In an instant, several members of the Anbu appeared in front of him.
"Immediately set off to the Cloud, Rock, Water, Sand, and other great shinobi villages, and invite them to come to my Konoha Village to watch the Chunin Exam. If there is a Genin in their village who wants to participate, they can also sign up directly. At the same time, inform the Kage of the other villages that the existence of the demons will threaten the safety of the entire Shinobi world. It is time for the five great shinobi villages to work together to overcome this crisis."
Soon, these Anbu members took the letter from Sandaime and quickly left.
After doing all this, Sandaime came to the window again and looked at the Hokage rock in the distance, thinking, "Since your ambition is to be the Hokage, then I will provide you with this opportunity, it can also be regarded as my test for you … Success or failure, it depends on how you grasp it."
