Chapter 433

Late at night.

The Hokage Building is brightly lit.

After a full day of contemplation, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally made up his mind.

He spoke directly to summon the Anbu and issued an order for Nara Shikaku to return.

As for the front lines?

Leaving them to Mimura Hazaki is enough!

In any case, he is already the commander-in-chief of the Konoha defense forces on the front line. Now that the Rock Shinobi are prepared to sign a peace treaty, and given there are no major battles on the front, a Jonin like Mimura Hazaki is sufficient!

Yes.

He has truly realized now that he really cannot function without Nara Shikaku by his side.

Although he cannot be counted as a true core member of his own faction, the Pig-Deer-Butterfly trio has always been a pro-Hokage faction.

As long as he maintains his power for one more day, he can trust Nara Shikaku.

Even if he retires and Namikaze Minato takes the seat...

It will still be "760" like this!

Unless Namikaze Minato can truly hold power, rather than being a puppet Hokage.

But, heh.

He will not give him that opportunity.

And just as Sarutobi Hiruzen finished arranging these matters and prepared to let the Anbu leave, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wore a look of confusion.

At this hour, who would come to see him?

He said "come in," and then an Anbu walked in.

"Lord Hokage, Uchiha Shisui wishes to see you!"

The Anbu knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully.

Shisui?

Upon hearing this name, he was completely bewildered.

Yes.

Ever since Uchiha Jin began to take power, he had subconsciously treated the entire Uchiha clan as a single entity to be dealt with.

He had even subconsciously given up on Shisui.

After all, in his view, the Uchiha had already risen.

Under normal circumstances.

When other Uchiha see hope for the clan's rise, shouldn't they be gathering strictly around Uchiha Jin and trying to make the Uchiha rise as quickly as possible?

Therefore.

Why is this Uchiha Shisui here to see him?

Wait, that's not right!

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't this guy be on the front lines?

Why is he back now?

However.

Although he was very suspicious, after his eyes darted around, he nodded and spoke.

"Let Shisui in."

"You may withdraw, and notify Jonin Nara Shikaku as soon as possible."

"Tell him to finish the handover of his work on the Rock Shinobi front and rush back as quickly as possible."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke sternly.

Yes.

He is that urgent.

If it weren't for the recent unpleasantness with Namikaze Minato, he would have wanted to send Minato to bring Nara Shikaku back using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But, there was no choice!

Having just had an unpleasant exchange with Namikaze Minato, he really felt embarrassed to call him over again.

Otherwise.

If Nara Shikaku were here, he could better analyze what this Shisui is trying to do by coming here this time!

And in the gap while he was thinking, the two Anbu bowed and retreated, and Shisui walked in with a serious expression.

"Lord Hokage!"

"Oh, Shisui!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said faintly: "What is the matter that you have come to see me this time?"

Shisui looked slightly awkward.

But thinking of Uchiha Jin's instructions, although he felt a bit of scalp-tingling, he strictly followed the script written overnight by Nara Kazama based on Jin's wisdom, and began to recite it word for word.

In any case, the general meaning was very simple!

It was that this time, when Uchiha Jin went to the front lines and was bragging to Shisui, Shisui only then learned that something major had happened in the village.

Then.

Shisui, who did not agree with Uchiha Jin's methods, immediately had a big argument with Uchiha Jin.

In the end, they parted on bad terms.
