Chapter 150

The setting sun shone through the window onto Sarutobi Hiruzen's solemn and majestic face.

He was staring blankly at a piece of intelligence on the table, lost in thought; in his pupils, where his thoughts were constantly changing, no one could see what the Third Hokage was thinking at this moment.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was in his prime, far from the senility after the original plot officially unfolded.

An introverted power was constantly radiating outward through the body of this Third Hokage.

As the authority of the largest ninja village in the ninja world, it was no exaggeration to say that Sarutobi Hiruzen was the most powerful person in the ninja world today.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!!"

Suddenly, an unceremonious, irritable knocking sound reached Sarutobi Hiruzen's ears; Sarutobi Hiruzen even doubted whether his door would be hammered into pieces in the next second under such force.

It was hard to imagine that such knocking would appear at the door of the Third Hokage's office.

"Come in."

But to this, the Third Hokage had no anger, and there was even a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

No matter what system it was in, there were always one or two people that even the authority couldn't handle.

And for Sarutobi Hiruzen, the one about to arrive was such a headache-inducing existence.

"Bang!"

Under the unceremonious forceful push, the poor door hit the wall, making a loud noise.

A figure faintly exuding anger walked into the Hokage's office step by step, then sat unceremoniously on the sofa opposite Sarutobi Hiruzen, turning his head directly without even looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Facing the "rude" posture of the visitor, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed an annoyed expression, but when he saw the person's pouting face, he still couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Why, still holding a grudge about what happened a while ago?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen used a rare gentle tone to appease the person before him, but who knew the other party wouldn't appreciate it at all.

"If you want to marry someone off, go marry yourself!"

"I cannot accept everything the village arranges for me!"

A voice with a bit of toughness, but an extremely pleasant tone, rang out.

Just by this voice, it seemed one could imagine the appearance of a young girl full of vitality in their mind.

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a bit helpless and looked at the girl opposite him.

The light of the setting sun shone on the girl's fair-as-jade face, flashing a layer of sacred golden luster. The diamond-shaped pattern on her forehead added a bit of unique feminine dignity and charm to the girl's originally sacred face.

The lush golden hair like a waterfall narrated the girl's dazzling vitality like a sun god; her full upper body and slender, coordinated figure made her exude amazing charm, all of which made people exclaim that this body was simply God's most perfect work.

At this moment, the girl's pair of emerald eyes were staring tightly at Sarutobi Hiruzen opposite her, the anger in her eyes pouring out directly from these clear, water-like beautiful eyes.

"Tsunade, you must know this is not just the village's decision."

"The Senju clan is now dwindling in numbers; as the princess of the Senju clan, you should give birth to descendants for the Senju as soon as possible."

"In this way, if the First and Second know in the underworld, they will probably be gratified."

Sarutobi Hiruzen persuaded earnestly, without any Hokage airs on his body, only the kindness and amiability of an old father.

"No! Way!"

"I'm still young! Having Nawaki is enough for passing on descendants!"

"Anyway, I don't want to consider descendants right now!"

Senju Tsunade stood up abruptly, her whole body exuding a powerful aura, with an expression of "I'm not marrying, whoever wants to can," "I'm going to be single to the end."

It seemed she was already determined, iron-willed.

"Sigh..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head helplessly.

But when facing the girl before him, even the dignified Hokage really had no good way.

Publicly speaking, the girl before him was the granddaughter of the First Hokage, the true princess of the Senju clan, the direct line of the direct line of Konoha.

Even if she didn't care about him, the Hokage, he couldn't do anything to Tsunade.

Privately speaking, Tsunade was also his direct disciple, whom he had watched grow up; Sarutobi Hiruzen always carried a hint of favoritism toward the girl in his heart.

"Tsunade, don't be willful!"

"The responsibility your identity shoulders, you understand without me saying."

"You represent more than just yourself! Think more about the responsibility you shoulder!"

But things having reached this point, he couldn't let the girl continue to be willful, so he could only straighten his face and say coldly to Tsunade in a stiff tone.

Hearing this, Tsunade frowned slowly, and the anger on her body gradually dissipated.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were like pouring a basin of cold water on her head, making her calm down instantly.

She was born enjoying the glory of the Senju, but was also bound by the loud name of "Senju."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was right; when one is in the world, one is not one's own master, and some things really couldn't be helped by her.

Thinking of this, Tsunade's expression was a bit frustrated.

"Sigh..."

"You child, you don't need to have such great psychological pressure..."

"The village won't force you; Kato is a good child, and his talent is also extremely excellent; take some time to go see him."

"Finding you here this time is to give you a mission."

"It can also be considered as letting you go out to relax."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, seeing Tsunade's expression, didn't dare to force her too deeply and turned to talk about another matter.

And at this moment, having experienced the previous events, Tsunade's interest was obviously not high, just nodding indifferently.

Before coming, she had guessed that Sarutobi Hiruzen looking for her specifically was definitely not just to "force marriage."

At the same time, Tsunade also knew that the mission requiring her to move out would certainly not be low in difficulty.

"The details of the mission are in the scroll."

"Because it is top secret, this time you need to go alone."

"I trust your strength, but you still need to be careful."

Saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen threw a scroll into Tsunade's hand.

Tsunade didn't hesitate, opened the scroll to read the mission content in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then destroyed the scroll on the spot.

"I understand, old man."

"If there's anything, talk about it when I come back."

After speaking, Tsunade ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen and turned to leave the Hokage's office.

Watching Tsunade's somewhat lost back, a hint of helplessness flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

The ninja world was like this; the more glamorous the appearance, the more one needed to pay for this honor with many hardships that ordinary people couldn't know.

Even as the princess of the Senju clan, she couldn't escape the shackles of this destiny.

"Hope you can figure it out as soon as possible..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured to himself, then stopped worrying about this matter.

Instead, another matter made him not dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness.

Looking at the intelligence fed back by the Mist Anbu on the table, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was solemn.

Recently, a large number of undercover agents lurking within the Rain ninjas could no longer be contacted.

Combined with the actions of the Hidden Rain Village recently, Sarutobi Hiruzen was certain that the Rain ninjas might be about to have a big move.

Three days ago, an informant of Konoha within the Rain ninjas sent out the final intelligence, and then fell into silence and lost contact.

The matter of the Rain ninjas made Sarutobi Hiruzen smell the aura of danger.

So he must send powerful ninjas as soon as possible to go to the Rain ninjas to investigate what had happened.

For this reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even hesitate to play the trump card of Konoha, Tsunade!
