Chapter 55: One of the Adopted Daughter's Righteous Sister

In the entire Hokage building, it seems that only the Hokage office is still lit.

Sarutobi Hizan stood up and opened the window to disperse the smoke in the room, then turned around and looked at Nohara Rin with a smile:

"Why, don't you recognize me as a bad old man?"

He still had the same kind smile on his face as before.

Nohara Rin hurriedly shook her head and shouted respectfully, "Master Hokage III."

She already knew about the fourth-generation Hokage-sama's death in battle, but she didn't expect that even if she died, Konoha would also be attacked by the tailed beast.

And the third-generation Hokage-sama in front of him... looks a lot older.

"Congratulations on your return to life."

Sarutobi Hizan crossed Hokage's desk, and suddenly, he bent down and bowed slightly to Nohara Rin.

"Lord Hokage!"

Rin Nohara's little girl's shrill shout suddenly sounded.

She raised her hand, but didn't know what to do, looking a little flustered.

Lord Hokage III, bowing to a little girl of his own?

"This is what you deserve." Sarutobi Hizan slowly raised his head, with sincere gratitude on his face, "I have already learned from Kakashi for everything you have done, that you are a woodworker. Ye was not threatened by the tailed beast and gave his young life without hesitation. As Hokage, I must represent the village and express my gratitude for your sacrifice and your will."

"Hokage-sama..." Nohara Rin's little face flushed, "I, I just did what every ninja would do, very common..."

In Nohara Rin's heart, such a thing is indeed not enough to praise.

After all, too many ninjas died for Konoha in the war.

She's just one of them.

Not only did it fail to save too many people, it even nearly brought disaster to the village.

"Haha." Sarutobi Hizan chuckled twice, "If Konoha has a younger generation like you, I can rest assured that I will grow old."

"Lord Hokage..."

Nohara Rin's moved eyes were slightly red.

"Hokage-sama." Kakashi said softly, his voice was obviously more inattentive than before, he said, "I'm here now to ask Lin's identity, and the dead are reborn. Resurrection, should such a thing spread freely in the village?"

Shen Yun's words just now gave him a great warning.

Nohara Rin is just an ordinary girl.

The talent is not strong, and the background is not deep.

If such a girl is said to carry darkness, war, and conspiracy...the first thing Kakashi thinks of is special, maybe it has something to do with her being a resurrected person. Once the news spreads widely, I am afraid Ninjas from other countries, secret organizations, will all target Lin.

"That's right." Sarutobi Hizan also nodded, and seemed to say with emotion, "The secret of resurrection is too tempting."

Kakashi didn't answer.

He said everything he had to say.

The rest is to obey Hokage-sama's arrangement, which seems to have always been the case for the past ten years.

but--

Sarutobi Hizan looked up at Kakashi, and seemed to realize the difference.

look.

In the past, Kakashi's eyes were scattered, but now, they are condensed together.

really......

The true power of a ninja... comes out when trying to protect the people he cherishes the most.

Sarutobi Hizan slowly took a breath, "That mysterious businessman, I also did some research. It seems that he hasn't been to the rest of the villages yet. It seems that he has just arrived in our world not long ago. , Before his news spreads completely, it is best to hide Lin's identity first.

"

Kakashi nodded.

He thought so too.

At least, we have to wait until the mysterious businessman is well known and attracts most of the attention. At that time, people's attention will naturally no longer focus on a small resurrected Shimonin.

"And your two disciples." Sarutobi Hizan seemed to be thinking of something, a little helpless, "Naruto is okay, but Sasuke...the power he has now and his character, he will not be guided. If you do, it's easy to go astray."

Kakashi nodded again.

He was indeed a little worried about Sasuke.

The hatred of this young man is too great. For the sake of strength, it is easy to go down the wrong path. The key is to be young and understand nothing.

"So, I have prepared an outing mission for your seventh class." Hiruzen Sarutobi put a scroll on the office and handed it to Kakashi, "The mission is very simple, escort a person to the country of waves, by the way Over there, give Lin an identity that can withstand investigation, and say...it's the adopted daughter you adopted over there, and others will only think that it's because she and Lin look alike."

"Foster, adopted daughter?" Kakashi and Lin exclaimed almost at the same time.

Sarutobi Hizan looked at the two of them a little strangely, then suddenly realized, and said with a smile:

"It seems that I'm really getting old, so can my righteous sister. Anyway, it's an identity that has been declared to the outside world. It's the same."

"It's still the righteous sister." Kakashi smirked and touched his hair, "I and Lin are the same generation after all."

Lin next to her, her face seemed to be a little red.

"Come over and take over the mission tomorrow." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, the charitable smile on his face did not change, "Be careful on the road, don't let ordinary people see it."

"Yes!" Kakashi responded.

After they left, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked out the window subconsciously.

It seems that there is a figure that quickly disappears into the darkness.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

In the Hokage office, the night was still brightly lit.

......

The silence on the other side, after Kakashi left with Lin, turned his head to look at Tsunade and the others, and said with a smile, "Since there is no business, then I will leave first."

Even if it is a day and a night.

But he had the feeling that a long time had passed.

At this moment, there are some who want to go back to sleep well.

"Oh? Do you have a place to rest?" Tsunade looked at the silence that was about to leave, pursed his lower lip slightly, put his hands around his chest, and said casually, "If you don't have it, why don't you go to my place, I will also Just wanted to learn more about Paladins."

compared to the one last night.

This time today is the real invitation to stay.

Tsunade, who witnessed the resurrection with his own eyes, still had the excitement of witnessing the miracle in his heart, and more than that.

She has experienced a lot today.

One of the biggest changes is the transfer of Paladins.

The test of the Holy Light is a kind of spiritual transformation for her. The feelings of despair and struggle in the past seem to have been swept away today, becoming more relaxed and full of hope than ever before.

She does want to know about the Paladins, but more—

Tsunade was curious and dependent on the silence that brought about all these changes, and the mysterious jar.
