Chapter 115

Title: The Dangerous BOY...

…

-Hiruzen POV-

It has been one week since that day. I still can't get the image of my dying friend out of my head. In my own mind I have killed and cursed Yami Inuzuka countless times, but in reality I didn't dare to act, we are dangerously close to another ninja war. I should try to negotiate with the other Great Hidden Villages.  I know that another war wouldn't accomplish anything… only more death and destruction. Weakening us all, during these times there would always be Danzo whispering about going to war and Konoha making the first move. I would never listen to him, even though he was smart Danzo wasn't too good at strategic battles. He would consider the option of sacrifice way too easily.

I knew that letting Danzo pick on Yami would be dangerous. I don't know what was going on between them but they definitely had a deal going on. It seems like Danzo was on to something and decided like usual to try and use force against Yami by ruining his clan's shop and other establishments owned by him. It seemed like that was the wrong move both from Danzo when he reacted like that and my part where I didn't stop him.

Sometimes I even wonder if I have truly been sitting in this chair for too long. Everyone seems unsatisfied... not just the other great villages… even Konoha is craving for war. Are they all mad?... didn't they learn from the 2nd Ninja War that fighting will only lead to our mutual destruction and weakening.

And Yami Inuzuka that BOY... doesn't he understand how much he will weaken Konoha with the last stunt he pulled. He had a mother, sister figure and his whole clan in here. Why can't someone smart like him comprehend something like this. He took such a major risk for such a useless thing. His mind truly doesn't have the maturity needed to understand things like this. He obviously doesn't listen to me… oh he does follow my orders but he doesn't truly listen to them. He is an S Class ninja, he needs to understand that his actions have consequences.

He also has my son Asuma in his team. The Sarutobi elders agreed to this, my influence and power as a Hokage has been slipping away, and no matter how, even though Yami doesn't say anything… if people looked deeper into it… they will understand that he is just simply saying to my face that he will kill Asuma if I do something stupid. Accidents do happen and if Asuma died he wouldn't even be blamed for it. During these times we need to be united… not squabble amongst ourselves.

I only know one person Yami will truly listen… it seems like with the war just seeming around the corner I will need to prepare. I will need Jiraya back here. Minato also needs to be here… and also… Tsunade will need to come back from her grieving, Konoha needs her now more than ever.

….

I look at young Hachi trying to do the tree walking exercise… he is such a good kid and so cute. I look at his cute little face concentrating. He is so cute… and he is only six… though technically I am not a lot older than him… but I use transformation jutsu most of the time to seem older. After all if I want to buy something if they see that I am a kid they wouldn't take me seriously… I am nine and all that... and technically I am older than Hachi by just three years but that doesn't matter. I am still his aunt.

I see Hachi just looks at me while saying. ”By the way Shizune… you aren't really growing a lot recently. I have almost caught up to your height.”

I just smile because I mustn't be angry at my own nephew… but inside my heart I can't help but curse those abnormal Senjus… he can already beat me at raw strength and his chakra reserves were always bigger than mine and the distance just keeps getting bigger. No wonder the Senju were the strongest clan in the Clan Warring Era.

*slip*

Hachi falls down from the tree again but before landing he does a backflip and lands on his feet. He then turned towards me, smiled and gave me a thumbs up while saying. ”That was cool when I did that right.”

I just sigh a little and say to him. ”You have been trying this for a whole day and you still haven't got it down… how do you plan to become a medic ninja or learn cool ninjutsu with bad chakra control.”

Though that is mostly because he has high chakra reserves for someone his age and he has already gotten up half of the tree. But there is no way I am telling him that.
