Looking at the information in his hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen's cloudy old eyes shed two lines of painful tears. He did not expect that the information came so quickly, but it was not the good news he imagined, but a scream.

A voice full of sorrow murmured hoarsely from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth. He was so devastated that he sat limply on the chair as if he had lost all strength.

Through the bright sunlight shining in, at this moment the Sandaime Hokage, who was in charge of Konoha, and even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had the title of Ninja, seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Under his gray hair, there was only an unfolded information scroll on the table.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was rescued. The enemy was Kumo Ninja Village, but he was unconscious. On the way back, he was ambushed. It was suspected that someone leaked information.

"Check, check for me! Who is it?"

However, at this moment, an ANBU appeared in the office, respectfully handed over the information, and said in a deep voice: "Hokage-sama, the latest urgent report."

After opening another piece of information, the Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes became dull and he looked at the information in his hand tremblingly. He never expected that it would be like this.

It was clearly recorded in the intelligence that one of the members of the ANBU who was traveling with him this time was dissatisfied with Orochimaru's incident, and was even more angry about private rumors that Sarutobi Shinnosuke was going to become the Fifth Hokage.

This person secretly leaked information, which led to an ambush by enemy ninjas. He believed that Sarutobi Shinnosuke was not qualified to become Hokage at all, no matter in terms of strength, reputation, or heart, which led to all this happening.

"Unexpectedly! It was actually me who killed my own son."

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen was shaking and crying. He had never thought that all this was caused by himself.

If he hadn't rejected Orochimaru and chosen Shinnosuke, who was most at ease at the moment, he would have confidently believed that there would be no problem, without considering people's hearts at all.

No matter who among the Sannin becomes Hokage, no one will say anything. This is the so-called reputation. But Sarutobi Shinnosuke cannot do that. Even if a group of senior people push him up, the people below him will still look down on him from the bottom of his heart.

.

Even Uchiha Ye was probably confused by this matter. He didn't expect that there would be something unexpected.

There are often some things that are unpredictable. As for the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the Third Hokage in the original work, we don’t know when they died. Maybe it has something to do with this person.

…

The island of Whirlpool Country, the base of Konoha.

"night."

"Brother Ye."

After Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui arrived at the camp, the three met again.

Looking at the two of them, Uchiha Ye also smiled and nodded, but after seeing Kakashi's somewhat remorseful look, he couldn't help but comfort him.

"Kakashi, don't worry. Sarutobi Umeko contributed to the last incident involving Orochimaru-sensei and caused such great damage to the village. She deserves to die."

"As for Sarutobi Shinnosuke, don't worry. Although I am dissatisfied with the corruption in the village today, I will never attack people from the same village easily. Nothing will happen to them."

Then Uchiha Yexiao told the two of them what had happened, completely blaming Sarutobi Shinnosuke's incident on the Kumo Ninja Village, which could be regarded as clearing the two of them of suspicion.

After hearing this, Hatake Kakashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the guilt on his body became much lighter. As for Sarutobi Umeko, she indeed deserved it.

Uchiha Shisui on the side frowned slightly after hearing this. Looking at Brother Ye with a relaxed smile on his face, he secretly pondered in his heart.

Brother Ye is too kind. If Kakashi takes this opportunity to erase Sarutobi Shinnosuke, then Kakashi will never be able to get off the ship. It seems that I need to be a sharp knife in Brother Ye's hands in the future.

Only in this way can the stubbornness in facing Konoha's corruption be completely eradicated.

If Uchiha Ye knew what Shisui was thinking, he would probably just laugh it off.

People are different. Kakashi is not the kind of person who will give in if you hold the handle. Instead, treat him sincerely and let Kakashi see for himself who is white and who is black.

All he had to do was push Kakashi to make this choice.

If nothing else happens, starting from tomorrow, Koi will resume normal updates, twice a day. Thank you for your support during this time.
