In the Kage's office, the Third Hokage put down the scroll in his hand and looked at the night outside. Aburame Shitori and Kakashi had just left. The antidote was also ordered to be handed over to Yuriko by the Anbu. On the front line, there was no change in Sunagakure.

Vertex 23S.

Fastest update

It worked.

The Third Hokage unconsciously picked up Chiba's report. There were only a few lines on it, but the interests and risks were clearly and orderly stated, and every step of the plan was written very comprehensively. In conjunction with the powerful statement in front, he

There was no way not to take Chiba's plan.

In just one day, the real antidote was captured. Now, as long as Yuriko develops the antidote, the poisonous problem in Sunagakure Village can be solved.

This kid is so amazing. I can't imagine that such a plan was made by a seven-year-old child.

The Third Hokage once again carefully read Chiba's powerful statement and plan explanation. In his eyes, this report can only be described as perfect.

Watching it this time, the Third Hokage once again felt that Chiba's report did not look like it was written by a child.

But he had to believe that this was Chiba's handiwork.

Because besides Nara Shikaku, the Third Hokage could not imagine anyone else coming up with such a plan.

Before this report was handed over, Nara Shikaku had been discussing border matters with him, so Nara Shikaku could not participate in the formulation.

There is no doubt that this is the work of Chiba alone.

At this moment, the Third Hokage suddenly felt a little heavy. Chiba's qualifications and characteristics were so outstanding.

Even he, the Hokage, felt the pressure.

As for the source of pressure, it is naturally how to cultivate and protect a child with extraordinary talents like Chiba. After all, there have been many geniuses since the founding of Konoha, but one like Chiba has never been seen before.

The key point is that this child is still young and has a high degree of plasticity. He is full of infinite possibilities, and this infinite possibility may be the pillar that protects Konoha in the future, or even the future of Konoha...

However, it is also possible to be eroded by the darkness of the ninja world and become a disaster that endangers Konoha and even the entire ninja world.

Moreover, for the Third Hokage, not to mention these interests, from an emotional point of view, he did not want anything to happen to Chiba or become an enemy of Konoha.

After all, from the time he fell to the ground until he grew up to this day, although he didn't have much time on weekdays, when he had time, he would go to the cabin outside to take a look. To him, this little guy was like his child.

Who wants to see their children go astray, or be in danger of life or death?

Not only Chiba, but all the young people and children in the village who represent the future of Konoha, he does not want to see their misfortune.

This is his duty as Hokage, to protect the village and every family member in the village.

However, now that the war is about to break out again, no one knows how many families and children will rush into the battlefield and be swallowed up by fire and blood.

Geniuses like Chiba, as seeds, should be protected, but at critical times, they have to become a key combat force, performing life-threatening tasks and struggling on the battlefield.

Just like they were back then.

However, how many of the original partners survived the war?

Danzo, Koharu, Men Yan...and who else?

The third Hokage turned around and looked out the window, looking across the village and staring at the rock statues of the two Hokages.

Hashirama-sensei, Tobirama-sensei, I put the village in this situation again, finally ended the Second World War, and now, the war is starting again.

Am I considered a...qualified Hokage?

The Third Hokage put his hands behind his back and looked at the rock statue of his teacher for a while. Then he turned around and walked back to the Hokage's desk. He glanced at the scroll he had just put down and picked up the pipe on the table.

And the part of the scroll that was spread out seemed to be the end of a sentence, with the words "Darkness lurks within" written on it.

Danzo...

The Third Hokage shook his head, raised his pipe and was about to take a puff of smoke, but when he took a puff of smoke, he coughed violently.

After coughing for a while, he finally regained his breath.

"Hokage-sama." At this time, a voice came, and Kaima pushed the door open and entered.

"What's wrong?" The Third Hokage asked with a slight frown.

"Zhenshu has also returned to the village. Taketake Shiga was seriously injured and has been sent directly to the hospital for treatment."

…

Konoha Hospital, Intensive Care Unit.

"Beep... beep..." The electrocardiogram was beating steadily, but the arcs of the upper and lower arcs of the electrocardiogram were already very low, which was obviously too low.

"The vital signs are normal. The patient lost a lot of blood. Most of the injuries have been treated with emergency treatment. Blood transfusions and wound healing are now being carried out."

At this time, Taketake Shiga was covered in blood, and several syringes had been inserted into his arm. At the same time, the doctor in charge of the treatment had put his hands on the largest wound on his body, and there was a light green light in his hands.

At the same time, the nurse had also skillfully set up the blood bag. Taketake Shiga did not have a rare blood type, so she quickly found the corresponding blood bag from the blood bank and performed the blood transfusion.

Looking at the large and small scars on Shiga Taketake's body, some of the larger ones have been treated to stop the bleeding. Although they are still shocking, they are no longer bleeding, and several vital scars have almost healed.

Obviously, Chiba had tried his best to treat him before this.

The fatal injuries were all treated urgently. I don’t know who did it. It was quite beautiful. Now I only need blood transfusion and treatment of the remaining wounds.

The treating doctor observed and sighed inwardly.

Shiga Taketake's injuries may seem horrific, and his electrocardiogram reaction may seem dangerous. In fact, there is no serious danger anymore. All he needs is step-by-step treatment and blood transfusion. Strictly speaking, he is out of danger.

At this time, outside the door.

"Tick tock..."

A drop of blood splashed in the corridor.

"Teacher Shinshu, please hurry up and get treatment!" Kinuchi Kento looked at the silent figure covered in blood with a worried expression.

Morino Shinsuke wiped the blood on his face, shook his head and said, "I must go to the Third Hokage now."

"But..." Kento Kinuchi frowned and his face changed as he looked at the shockingly large wounds on his teacher's hands and lower abdomen.

Although treatment to stop the bleeding was done, the skin and flesh were rolled up and the scalp was numb.

Before Kiuchi Kento could say anything, a voice came from behind.

"Where is Chiba? Is he back too?"

The two turned around to look, only to see Xuena and Hiroyan, who was wearing hospital gowns and thick clothes, staring at them closely, their eyes bright and full of hope.

When the two people's eyes met, Morino was slightly startled, hesitated, and said: "Chiba..."

However, as soon as he started talking, his figure shook, his vision went dark, and he fell sideways.

"Teacher Shinsuma!"

Suddenly, Kiuchi Kento was shocked and quickly supported him.

"Yukina, Hirohiko, please..." Kinuchi Kento said urgently.

"I see!"
Chapter completed!
