Naruto: Are you worthy of being called Sage Mode?

Sarutobi Hiruzen's father, Sarutobi Sasuke, was also a ninja who was proficient in the fifth edition.

Sarutobi Sasuke is also a highly recognized ninja, and even the Uchiha clan respects him.

The name Uchiha Sasuke is actually a tribute to this ninja.

Sarutobi Asuma only had the wind attribute, while Sarutobi Shinnosuke inherited the earth attribute and did not inherit the five attributes in the same line.

Looking at his son and daughter-in-law, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little complicated.

In his last life, he lived for more than 100 years as an immortal cultivator. Naturally, his bloodline has been passed down, and his family also has considerable influence in the secular world.

It's just that all this is false in the face of Changsheng.

Hundreds of years of glory and wealth are just passing clouds.

No matter how lofty your status is, in the end you will just be nothing more than a handful of loess?

"Shinnosuke, I am ready to step down as Hokage."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at his father in disbelief.

He knew his father well and knew Hiruzen Sarutobi's desire for power.

In fact, as the son of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he was under a lot of pressure.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen kept saying that everything was for him and Asuma, and that he worked so hard to make the family better, but in fact, this was all Sarutobi Hiruzen's wishful thinking.

With such talents and different ambitions, what can happen if it is imposed on them?

"I'm not kidding. You and Hinaiko are ready to leave ANBU after I leave office."

"why?"

Shinnosuke, who was usually very dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi's bureaucratic practices, was actually unwilling to do so when he heard that he was asked to leave ANBU.

"Do you think you are really strong enough to be an elite Jonin of ANBU? Without my protection, you are likely to die in the mission."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was outspoken and did not save any face for Shinnosuke.

Such direct words stunned Sarutobi Shinnosuke. In his impression, Sarutobi Hiruzen had never been so direct.

"Okay, as my direct ANBU, how can you continue to work after I step down?"

Seeing Sarutobi Shinnosuke's appearance, Sarutobi Hiruzen relented and opened his mouth to explain.

In his impression, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and his daughter-in-law Hinako Sarutobi died in a mission.

However, Konohamaru Sarutobi was already born at that time, and Hinaiko was not pregnant yet, which meant that there were still a few years until something happened to the two of them.

It was definitely impossible to see his son die young. As a former modern man, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not the kind of cultivator who only knew how to practice hard.

He understands very well that immortal cultivators are not immortals and are not much different from human beings. Before cultivation reaches a certain level, a person's power is very limited.

In his previous life, he was able to achieve the Great Perfection of Qi Refining because of the help of his family, who collected many rare herbs from all over the world.

After resurrecting his life, although he did not plan to continue being Hokage, he still needed the strength of his family and the help of the village.

At the same time, as a father, he did not want Shinnosuke to die young.

"Okay, don't feel any pressure. It would be good to be a mentor jounin and lead a genin team in the future."

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his daughter-in-law Sarutobi Hinaiko.

"You two have been married for a while. When can I have a grandchild?"

"Am I expected to count on that boy Asuma?"

When talking about this topic, Sarutobi Hinaiko's face instantly turned red.

She was born as a commoner, and her talent was not very good. She was only a chuunin now, and she didn't have such big ambitions in her heart.

Rather than fighting and fighting for power, she would rather stay at home to support her husband and raise her children.

Seeing what else Sarutobi Shinnosuke wanted to say, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand.

"I have made a decision. At a young age, it's time for me to take a rest."

After hearing what his father said, Sarutobi Shinnosuke realized that the man under the fire hat was already old and rickety.

At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi was only about 163cm tall. Coupled with his gray hair and the age spots that had appeared on his face, they all hinted that this man had reigned the longest in the Leaf Village and single-handedly created the heyday of Konoha. The Third Hokage, who personally made Konoha go downhill, is already old.

Shinnosuke nodded silently and said nothing more.

"Don't let this matter spread."

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to his room.

During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, his wife Sarutobi Biwako passed away, and now he is alone.

However, this is also in line with Sarutobi Hiruzen's wishes. After he dissipates this chakra to nourish his physical body, if someone is around him day and night, he will definitely notice it.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to examine the aging body.

Cultivation is to swim alone in the sea of ​​suffering. The sea of ​​suffering is boundless and the body is a boat. The only thing you can trust is your own body.

This is the path of Sarutobi Hiruzen's cultivation. Although after cultivating to the Nascent Soul, all the flesh and blood essence will be refined into the Nascent Soul. Even if the physical body is destroyed, as long as the Nascent Soul still exists, the physical body can be re-created.

But even the re-created body is still one's own bloodline, and taking one's body is a taboo in practice.

However, when Sun Xiaolong traveled through Sarutobi Hiruzen's body, he didn't have any obscure feelings other than the extra memories in his mind.

Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies and butterflies dreamed of Zhou.

Who knows what happened?

The only thing he can trust now is this aging body.

Because of the development of chakra and excessive cell division throughout the body, ninjas always age faster.

The current Sarutobi Hiruzen can no longer hold up the title of "Ninja Hero".

When he was young, Sarutobi Hiruzen gained this reputation in many wars. With his Five-Escape Compound Ninja Technique, he was a powerful battlefield weapon.

The hidden injuries all over his body seemed a bit natural.

Fortunately, apart from hidden injuries, there are no hidden illnesses, his limbs are still sound, and his body functions can run normally.

In this case, as long as you find some herbs to refine the elixir, and there is enough spiritual energy in this world, you can still recover slowly.

Taking a deep breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to try to absorb spiritual energy.

Although the spiritual energy in this world is strong, its attributes are very messy. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen can feel that a small part of the spiritual energy is contaminated.

This should be related to the so-called "Holy Land", which is the area where psychic beasts live.

These psychic beasts call aura "natural energy". By absorbing aura, they gain a long life, a huge size, and different special abilities.

From Sarutobi Hiruzen's point of view, these guys are just some unworthy little monsters.
