Chapter 556

"Idiot!"

"The family geniuses of my batch, actually my ability was far from the strongest, and looking at the whole village, I couldn't even be ranked."

"Why am I the clan leader?"

"Because my old man was the clan leader, you fool, because the trusted aides supported by my old man were willing to support me as clan leader!"

"The position of Hokage is the same, because I am the disciple of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, born from the orthodox Hokage lineage, and have the support of the three clans of Utatane, Mitokado, and Shimura, and the strongest Senju clan at the time, Mito Uzumaki, also supported me."

·········Seeking flowers····· ······

"When you're out in the world, you have to talk about power!"

"Unless you can be as strong as Hashirama Senju, the kind of strength that can be called the God of Ninjas, otherwise you are nothing in this world."

"Is Sakumo Hatake strong? The White Fang of Konoha, the half-sleeve of the Hokage!"

"But, so what?"

"Wasn't he forced by me to commit suicide? Did the death of this powerhouse cause Konoha to collapse?"

"Why do you, fool, think that just because of the title of a mere genius, I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wouldn't dare to kill you!"

"I tell you!"

"As long as I am willing to pay the resources, I can support as many damn geniuses like you as I want."

"The real reason you can sit in this position is actually only one."

"Shinnosuke is protecting you!"

..... 0....

"It is precisely because you and Shinnosuke have a good relationship that I, as a father, am willing to waste resources on you, just to find a helper for Shinnosuke."

"Without Shinnosuke, you are nothing but dog shit!"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi cursed loudly.

Yes.

He had been stifled for so long, and Sarutobi Arashi was just a venting bucket.

Of course, more importantly, he actually already had the answer.

Although Sarutobi Arashi didn't say a word, he had actually understood it long ago.

His son was definitely dead.

Otherwise,

under such powerful pressure from him, Sarutobi Arashi couldn't have kept his mouth shut.

Since he made such a choice, it already explained that his eldest son was definitely gone now.

And, on the other side,

Sarutobi Arashi was also stunned.

Yes.

He didn't expect Hiruzen Sarutobi to be so angry.

What surprised him even more were the words that came out of Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth.

So...

He had overestimated himself!

He was able to obtain his current status only because of Shinnosuke's protection?

Personal strength had nothing to do with running for clan leader?

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to become Hokage only because everyone was willing to support him?

When out in the world, you have to talk about power?

So, that's how it is.

How could it be?

And just at this time, the Anbu outside bowed and spoke.

"Lord Hokage."

"The captain of the Analysis Squad, Lord Inoichi, has arrived!"

"..."
