Chapter 144: Research Materials

Chapter 144: Research Materials

Hokage Tower.

The afterglow of the setting sun faded away the last tinge of red. At the last moment of nightfall, Hyga Clans Clan Head, Hyga Hirofumi and Uchiha Clans Clan Head, Uchiha Tengoku walked out of Hokage Tower side by side.

The two didnt speak to each other, they parted ways when they reached the entrance, and went home separately.

In the past few days, the two have been summoned by Hiruzen many times to discuss the matter of mobilizing the two clans Shinobi to the coast to deter Land of Waters Kirigakure.

Tengoku and Hirofumi generally agree, but there are some disagreements on how many people to send.

Hiruzen thought that the more, the better, but the two Clan Head didnt think so. Since its just to deter, a batch of Shinobi is enough, and even if Kirigakure really invaded the Land of Fire, they still had time to send more clansmen to battlefield.

If a large number of clansmen are dispatched at one time according to Hiruzens intention, the risk would be too high! After all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, in case Kirigakure plans something big, they wont be able to cry once they are ambushed and surrounded.

After several days of discussion, Hiruzen couldnt convince the two of them, and had no choice but to agree.

After Tengoku returned home, he immediately summoned the three elders overnight. After making a fierce prediction, he decided to let the Jnin, Uchiha Fugaku take a group of Military Police Forces members to the coast.

On the other side, after Hirofumi got home, he also immediately summoned clans Great Elder, Hyga Nobuyuki.

There are four Hyga Clan Elders, but apart from grand elder, the other three elders are all elders from the Branch House!

It cant be helped. After all, Hyga Clans Main House only has one person per generation. The Main House of this generation is Hirofumi. The Main House of the previous generation is his father, Hyga Nobuyuki. As for the Main Houses next generation, it is naturally his eldest son, Hyga Hiashi.

That is to say, there are only three people from the Main House of the huge Hyga Clan!

Father, you are here.

Hyga Nobuyuki is seventy-two this year, with white hair and wrinkled face, but his waist is straight as he walks. Although his eyelids are drooping, his eyes are full of light when he opened them.

Hirofumi respectfully asked him to sit down, and then elaborated on the results of todays discussions in the Hokage Tower.

After hearing this, Nobuyuki nodded slightly and asked: How many people do you plan to send, and who will lead them?

Its just for deterring, plus the Shinobi from Uchiha Clan, our Hyga Clan should send a hundred people! Hirofumi then pondered and said, As for the leader, I want Hiashi to go so he can get some experience!

Aho! (T/N: The Raw in Japanese, Aho means idiot, stupid or fool.)

Nobuyuki reprimanded, The people from the Main House cant go to the battlefield unless it is absolutely necessary! Let Hizashi go!

I understand.

Hirofumi nodded, and then said hesitantly, Father, in fact, Hizashis talent is not worse than Hiashis.

Of course I know, thats why Im relieved to let him go.

Thank you, Uncle.

Yui showed a smile.

When Yui left, Shikuro gave the child to his wife and went to the Hokage Tower.

Now that its wartime, regardless of its importance, Hiruzen has to deal with everything. So even if its late at night, Hiruzen is still working at the Hokage Tower.

Shikuro knocked on the door and entered the office. He then saw that Hiruzen is smoking to refresh himself. I wonder if it was an illusion, but he found that there seemed to be a few more white hairs on Hiruzens head.

Shikuro, is something wrong? Hiruzen put down the tobacco pipe in his hand and asked.

Hokage-sama, that Shikuro didnt know how to say it.

Hiruzen raised his brows and asked: Is it related to Shisui and Kanp?

No, its about Yui.

Shikuro lowered his head and said Yui wants to get back her fathers research materials.

Hiruzen didnt understand for a moment: What research materials?

Its the research materials on raising nano-sized venomous insects. Shikuro reminded, These materials have been sealed in the library by you, Hokage-sama.

So thats it.

Hiruzen took a puff from the pipe and said, Shikuro, it stands to reason that I shouldnt refuse Yuis request, but those research materials are very dangerous. In any case, I dont feel comfortable handing them over to a Genin.

Shikuro knew this was the result, but for some reason, Yuis stubborn appearance came to his mind at this time, causing: Hokage-sama, what if it was me?

Hiruzen was stunned.

Hokage-sama, I just Shikuro realized what he said and hurriedly speak to explain, but Hiruzen interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

Shikuro, you are the most talented Shinobi in Aburame Clan. If it was you, you might really be able to succeed.

Hiruzen looked at Shikuro deeply, and then asked the Anbu to take out the research materials for raising nano-sized venomous insects sealed in the library and hand them over to Shikuro.

Thank you Hokage-sama!

Shikuro took the information in a daze, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

After Shikuro left, Hiruzen put down his tobacco pipe, turned around and walked to the office window, looked up at the bright moon, and sighed.

If it was not for the tense situation in the Shinobi World right now, and Konoha desperately needs strong combat power, Hiruzen might not release these research materials, but who knows?
