Chapter 204
The atmosphere seemed to freeze. Haruto Saito stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen for a full three seconds, then suddenly kicked off the ground and screamed, "Sensei, don't hit me! I was wrong!"
Bang!Crash!
Haruto Saito slammed open the wooden door, flew out, and landed heavily on the ground, rolling to a stop right at Tsunade's feet. Covered in dust, he looked absolutely miserable.
Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to look at Haruto Saito, his facial muscles twitching unnaturally.
He had a headache—this kid was really something else!
Uzumaki Mito almost burst out laughing but quickly composed herself, forcing the amusement down.
Ignoring Haruto Saito, Sarutobi Hiruzen respectfully bowed to Uzumaki Mito and greeted her, "Lady Mito."
Sarutobi Hiruzen held great respect for Uzumaki Mito. Although he was the current Hokage of Konoha, she was the wife of the First Hokage, the sister-in-law of his mentor, Senju Tobirama. Moreover, Hashirama himself had once taught Hiruzen, though not officially as his direct disciple.
In truth, Hiruzen regarded Uzumaki Mito as a mentor's wife. Over the years, he often sought her advice on training. While there wasn't much she could teach him in general—Hiruzen was already a master of all elemental jutsu—when it came to sealing techniques, there was no one in the world more skilled than Uzumaki Mito.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had a broad knowledge of jutsu, studying them extensively to develop stronger techniques. Many of the sealing techniques he mastered were taught to him by Uzumaki Mito.
"Yes, you're here." Uzumaki Mito nodded before gracefully stepping outside.
