Chapter 690 It Has Nothing to Do with You

After Asuma returned to the tribe, he first learned about the situation.

He found that the debt owed by the Sarutobi clan was almost the same as the inheritance of Uzumaki Kushina.

This was obviously using Orochimaru's hand to make the Sarutobi clan spit out everything they had eaten.

Asuma immediately went to see Orochimaru.

But Orochimaru was busy with experiments and didn't meet him at all.

He had to go to see the Fourth Hokage, and Minato did meet him.

"Oh, Asuma, is the mission going well?"

Minato greeted Asuma as usual.

Asuma looked a little tired:

"Fourth Hokage, I want to know what will happen to the Sarutobi clan?"

Minato shook his head and said kindly:

"Asuma, what are you talking about? I just took back Kushina's property. I didn't pursue your father's corruption."

"Other disposals were ordered by Lord Orochimaru."

Asuma opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. His father is really a piece of shit.

The Fourth Hokage and his wife died fighting for the village, and their son couldn't even have a full meal.

Now that the reckoning has begun, the Fourth Hokage has not taken his anger out on him.

He has done his best for him.

"I understand. Thank you, Fourth Hokage. These are the two weapons that the old man bought for me. I will return them to you."

Asuma put his two chakra swords on the table.

Asuma is not a very hardworking person, not to mention that he was a street urchin before he became the Guardian Ninja Twelve.

Of course, he can't afford these two swords at all.

These were given to him by Sarutobi Hiruzen when he went to the Guardian Ninja Twelve.

He has not been back for long, and he has not done many tasks. It is natural that he can buy these two swords.

But he is now planning a wedding with Hong. If he uses money to buy swords, he will naturally have no money to get married.

Minato was nine years older than Asuma. When Asuma graduated from the Ninja School, Minato was famous in the ninja world.

When Asuma was still a rebellious middle school student, Minato died in battle.

At that time, Minato's reputation was at its peak, and Asuma admired him to some extent.

He didn't expect his father to treat Minato like this. Although it had nothing to do with Asuma, Asuma always felt guilty.

Minato was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. If Sarutobi Hiruzen was still alive, Minato would take action against him.

But now Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead, and Asuma has withdrawn the only benefit he had. Minato is not going to do anything to Asuma.

Minato smiled warmly, held down the two chakra knives and pushed them back:

"You and Hong are getting married soon, right? This pair of weapons is a wedding gift for you in advance."

"A ninja will lose his strength without his weapons."

Asuma understood what Minato meant, bowed and said:

"Thank you, Fourth Hokage."

Minato said meaningfully:

"I have only a little money here."

Asuma responded: "Then I'll leave first, Hokage."

Minato nodded, and Asuma left.

"Oh, this kind of thing is really not suitable for me. It would be great if Natsuki was here, he is the best at this kind of thing."

Minato said to himself.

...

Asuma breathed a sigh of relief after leaving. At least the Fourth Hokage was not going to pursue the matter any further, which was a good thing.

The meaning of the Fourth Hokage's last sentence was very clear. He had just lost some money here, and now that the money had been returned, he would not pursue the matter any further.

Now the key lies with Kakashi and Tsunade.

One of them lost his father, and the other lost his entire clan. He really didn't know what to say.

As the son of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Asuma was still ready to meet Kakashi.

Arrived at Kakashi's door.

Asuma hesitated for a moment, but still knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was an old servant. After learning that the visitor was Asuma, he told him that Kakashi had gone out, but left him a letter.

Asuma opened the letter, and there was only one line of words on it.

"It has nothing to do with you. Lady Tsunade wants to investigate, and you can't stop it."

Asuma sighed.

It seems that he has figured it out, and he is not going to look for Tsunade.

As Kakashi said, this matter has nothing to do with him, he can't stop it, and he can't change it.

Kakashi didn't vent his anger on him. They were friends before, and they will still be friends in the future.

Asuma quickly returned to the clan.

Sarutobi Tsuneaki and Sarutobi Chongming came forward to ask:

"Asuma, what did the Hokage say?"

Asuma shook his head: "I didn't see the Fifth Hokage, the Fourth Hokage just wanted to recover the money."

"I didn't go to Tsunade-sama."

After Asuma roughly told what happened today, he spread his hands: "I can't stop this matter, nor can I change it."

"It's useless to find anyone. The Fifth Hokage's money can only be paid back slowly. Let the tribe members be honest recently."

Sarutobi Tsuneaki didn't actually have much hope. When he heard Asuma say this, he quickly accepted it.

"I know, I will let the tribe members settle down and pay back the money."

Sarutobi Tsuneaki is a person who is content with the status quo. He was previously coerced by Sarutobi Chongming and wanted to make the Sarutobi clan strong, but now it seems to be just a dream.

Sarutobi Tsuneaki did some coordination work at most. He used his position to make some conveniences for the tribe members.

He had been dismissed, so he should be fine. He agreed with Asuma's cold approach.

Sarutobi Takaaki glanced at the two.

"Asuma, Great Elder, you are too naive."

"This is just the first step to deal with our Sarutobi people. Orochimaru will have more severe measures next. If we don't resist now, we will just sit and wait for death."

Asuma was furious and shouted: "Third Elder! What are you thinking?"

"How to resist? Tell me how to resist?"

Sarutobi Takaaki said coldly: "Orochimaru is the disciple of Lord Hiruzen after all. Our Sarutobi clan wants to be independent. Can he kill us all?"

Asuma laughed angrily: "Third Elder, with our clan's current reputation, which village dares to take us if we are independent?"

"Are you crazy?"

Asuma used to be a street urchin. Now that he saw Sarutobi Takaaki trying to make trouble again, he couldn't help but curse.

Sarutobi Chongming was very angry: "Asuma, I am your sixth uncle anyway, why are you talking so loud?"

Asuma slapped his palm on the table:

"Sarutobi Chongming, stop taking advantage of your age. Now the second elder is working on those clansmen in the prison every day."

"It is to make them confess their crimes as soon as possible and pay the compensation they should pay, so that the Hokage can let us go."

"Other Uchiha can go out independently, that is Uchiha Xiamu who can fight."

"If you dare to declare independence, you will be declared a traitor and die here."
