Chapter 18: Third Hokage, You are going to Die!

"Third Hokage," Varen nodded slightly to Sarutobi Hiruzen as a greeting.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took down the pipe with a smile. Pointing to the bookstore, he said with a smile, "Won't you invite me to come in and have a seat?"

"Smoking is prohibited in this bookstore."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen put out his pipe, slightly embarrassed, and put it away. "Cough~ As I get older, sometimes I just can't control my addiction to smoking."

"Third Hokage, please come in."

The two entered the bookstore and sat down on the sofa. Varen poured him a cup of tea. Then the two of them just sat on the sofa and stared at each other.

For some reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt like he was being treated as food.

"This boy's eyes are so strange!" Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't bear it anymore. So, he took the initiative and said, "What you taught Hinata, I know it all. You are doing the right thing by taking the initiative to help your classmates."

After saying that, he paused slightly. Then he glanced at Varen. In the end, he didn't see what he wanted to see, the happy expression after being praised. This made him a little depressed. However, he didn't care. Instead, he continued, "Since you don't want to be a ninja, I don't want to continue to persuade you. However, since you have the talent to teach people, are you interested in becoming a teacher in school?"

"I don't have money right now to hire someone to look at the bookstore. So, let's wait until later."

"That's it~" Hiruzen took a sip of tea and nodded slightly. He felt it was quite reasonable. "Actually, you can start as a tutor. Have your students come to the bookstore. You teach students while looking at the store."

"It's a good idea. Third Hokage, I will consider this issue."

"Hmm~" Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. He felt that Varen was actually pretty good. Strong, smart, sensible, and obedient.

"By the way, Third Hokage. Have you ever heard of divination ninjutsu?" Sarutobi Hiruzen: "?"

"It's a ninjutsu that can be used for divination." After seeing the confusion on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, Varen smiled and continued, "I am fortunate to have learned such a ninjutsu. And using this divination ninjutsu, I performed divination. Then I got some secrets. The secret technique entrusted to Hinata is one of them."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "!"

"Not so long ago, I used this divination ninjutsu to perform divination on the Chūnin exam. Then a shocking result was obtained. A person with a long tongue who likes to stick out his tongue will attack Konoha Village. And you, the Third Hokage, will die in this catastrophe."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "??"

"Third Hokage, I see you have a death look on your face! You must pay attention!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "???"

"He used a magical ninjutsu to summon the First Hokage and the Second Hokage. You summoned a monkey and turned the monkey into a golden cudgel. The four of you keep fighting! The situation is not optimistic. Finally, you summon a Shinigami. Forcibly collected the First Hokage and the Second Hokage. When he was about to capture the man with the long tongue, he was stabbed to death by the opponent's sword! Third Hokage, you have to be careful!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "???????"

…

Soon after, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of the bookstore with doubts in his stomach and panic in his head.

"Am I really going to die?"

If Varen hadn't explained in great detail the ninjutsu of sealing away the corpses that no one else would know, he really would have thought Varen was talking nonsense. After all, that divination ninjutsu sounded very unreliable no matter how you heard it.

"A man with a long tongue who likes to stick out his tongue?" Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately pictured Orochimaru in his mind. "Summoning First Generation and Second Generation... Could it be... Reanimation Jutsu?! If it is really this technique, it was normal for me to be forced to use the corpse seal. Orochimaru… I didn't expect you would actually do this..."

The more Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it, the more it seemed possible. So, he couldn't help but speed up his pace. He was preparing for Anbu to check it out.

…

"The plot points are realized~" Varen stopped using the Pupil Technique. A smile appeared on his face. "I wonder what Orochimaru will do this time?"

Putting away the crystal ball, Varen continued to draw the lottery.

[Congratulations on drawing a ton of gold bars!] [Congratulations on drawing a Chakra permanent increase pill (0.1%)!] [Congratulations on drawing the Squirtle (Bronze) card!]

…

Meanwhile, Karin and Izumi encountered a very embarrassing problem. They had no money. It's easier to say in the wild. The two of them can easily catch prey and fill their stomachs. But it's not easy to do in the city. Although with the strength of the two of them, it was easy to grab money. However, they can't do anything to steal money.

"Karin, a question suddenly occurred to me," Izumi looked at Karin with some confusion. "As far as I know, for an organization to function normally, it needs to take on tasks to make money. Will we also take on missions in the future?"

"Well…" Karin pushed up her glasses. "I heard from the Holy Lord that this is how a mysterious organization called Akatsuki operates. I asked too at first. How does our organization make money? However, the Holy Lord did not say anything. He just said that I had no money and asked me to ask him for it."

"In that case… The organization should be divided into paid members and action members, right?" Izumi got this answer and thought there was nothing wrong with her reasoning.

"Forget it, I'll go directly to the Holy Lord!" Karin communicated directly with Varen using the ring. "Holy Lord~~" Karin blushed and said coyly, "I want to soak in the hot springs, but I don't have any money~~ If you are willing to help others~ People…"

"Boom!" Karin hadn't finished speaking yet. Two large boxes appeared out of thin air in front of them. The box fell to the ground and was shaken open. Suddenly, golden gold bars appeared in front of the two women. At the same time, Karin's call was also directly cut off by Varen.

"Well…" Karin sighed. Then she turned to look at the two boxes of gold and said excitedly to Izumi, "We have money!"

"Well…" Izumi's eyes suddenly turned white, and her forehead was covered with black lines. "This woman… So bold! How dare you talk to the Holy Lord like this… Still want… Seducing the Holy Lord? Snort! Shameless!"
