In front of the Hokage Building, Zhang Bairen took a deep breath.

After regaining his composure, he directly applied to the ninja on duty to meet the Third Hokage.

Soon, the application was approved, and Zhang Bairen walked into the Hokage Building.

At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was slightly weak, was reminiscing about the wonderful content of the erotic novel.

Knock! Knock!

Zhang Bairen knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Sarutobi Hiruzen's gentle voice came from inside the door.

Zhang Bairen pushed open the door and saw the Third Hokage behind the desk.

"Hyakunin, why did you come to see me?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

"Lord Hokage, my trading company has provided me with some high-grade tobacco.

I thought, since I don't smoke anyway, there's no use keeping it, so I might as well give it to Hokage-sama.

After all, Hokage-sama has worked hard day and night, exhausted his energy and energy for us and the village, and deserves the love and admiration of the villagers." Zhang Bairen said, taking out the exquisite tobacco gift box.

"Oh, high-grade tobacco?" Hiruzen Sarutobi showed a hint of interest.

"According to my staff, this high-grade tobacco is mainly used to make cigars.

I don’t know exactly what a cigar is, but it’s just very high-end.

It is said that nobles with high taste will roll the most expensive cigars on the legs of innocent girls.

Hokage-sama, have you heard of cigars?" Zhang Bairen asked curiously.

"I seem to have heard a little bit about this." As a long-time smoker, Sarutobi Hiruzen forced himself to remain calm and replied.

"Look, these are different grades of tobacco.

The higher the grade, the more mellow the fragrance, but the higher the addictiveness.

If you don't have enough self-control, don't inhale it into your body, otherwise it may harm your health." Zhang Bairen said, opening the exquisite gift box.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled freely, and then replied: "Hahaha, tobacco is addictive, and tobacco is harmful to the human body.

But, for a long-time smoker like me, I can no longer quit this thing.”

"Then please try your best to control it, Hokage-sama, the village still needs you to lead the way.

Although tobacco is good, you can't smoke it greedily!" Zhang Bairen opened his mouth to dissuade him.

"You don't understand. I can't solve all kinds of documents and things in the village without tobacco to refresh myself.

I'm already old and I don't have the energy I used to have." Hiruzen Sarutobi said, lighting his pipe as if no one else was watching.

Breathe in, breathe out!

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was puffing out smoke, looked extremely comfortable.

"Hokage-sama, although it's offensive, I still want to advise you..."

Before Zhang Bairen finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen started to answer.

"Okay, Bai Ren, I know your good intentions.

However, I'm old now and I probably won't be able to smoke for a few more years. Just leave me alone and let me do whatever I want.

Also, didn’t you bring me tobacco?

Bring it up and let me take a look at the situation." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, coughing twice.

The body weakened by the nosebleed, coupled with the stimulation of tobacco, made Sarutobi Hiruzen even weaker.

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Zhang Bairen said, placing the gift box on the desk.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up a handful of tobacco, put it to his nose and smelled it.

"Yes, it is indeed the best tobacco." Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

Zhang Bairen breathed a sigh of relief and seemed not to be exposed.

People in the ninja world have probably never seen colorless and odorless things purified by modern technology.

Even medical ninjas probably wouldn't be able to discover the special nasty stuff in tobacco.

Not to mention, Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him.

"Sir Hokage, the five grades of this box of tobacco represent the purity of the aroma.

After reaching the second purity, do not inhale it into the body, otherwise it will be highly addictive.

This kind of high-grade tobacco is difficult to obtain in large quantities. If Hokage-sama becomes addicted, it will be very difficult for me." Zhang Bairen reminded.

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and replied casually: "Don't worry, although tobacco of this grade is extremely rare, it is not something I can't resist.

I've been smoking for decades, so I have more say than you."

Seeing that the Hokage refused to listen to the dissuasion, Zhang Bairen sighed helplessly.

Of course, Zhang Bairen was already happy in his heart.

Technology tobacco, as long as you like it.

After accepting the tobacco delivered, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked very gently: "Hakunin, I heard that your new novel seems to be released soon.

How is the plot? Is there anything about my deeds? Is it promoting Konoha Village? Is it praising the Land of Fire?"

Zhang Bairen shook his head and replied: "No, this is a fantasy novel that does not involve the ninja world.

The contents inside are purely fictitious, and the plots inside are all derived from my imagination.

Just as the promotional slogan says, in the world in the novel, there are no ninjutsu or ninjas, only the power system in my imagination - fighting spirit!"

"That's it, then have you...

What I mean is that you and Jiraiya are in constant contact. In your new book, did you follow his bad example and describe some vulgar and obscene things?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was gentle and kind.

But his expression became a little lewd and curious.

Zhang Bairen smiled knowingly, and then answered: "It is human nature for a man to love a woman. Although my novels do not describe these things excessively, there are also plots of marriage and childbirth."

"Oh, that's good, that's good. It's good that you didn't follow that guy's example." Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself.

"Thank you for your concern, Hokage-sama. Teacher Jiraiya and I are just having academic exchanges and will not affect each other." Zhang Bairen continued to answer.

"Speaking of which, I don't know where Jiraiya has gone.

The next time you write a letter, you can try to persuade him to let him have time to go back to the village and say that I miss him very much." Hiruzen Sarutobi warned.

"Okay, I remember, Hokage-sama." Zhang Bairen nodded and agreed.

"Well, that's it for now. I'm going to continue processing the documents." Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was still gentle, gave the order to expel the guests.

"Then you continue your work, and I'll leave first." After Zhang Bairen finished speaking, he turned and left the room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked the ashes from his cigarette, and then asked in a deep voice: "How do you feel? Is there anything unusual about this talented writer with a clean background?"

In the office, from the shadow of the corner, a dark-haired man wearing a black coat, white lining, and a bandage on one eye walked out.

"Like you, I didn't see anything.

This young man either has no problem or has a big problem!" Shimura Danzo replied.

"That's it." Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment, then picked up the tobacco gift box and handed it to Shimura Danzo.

"I have just blocked my sense of smell. Take it and check it. If there is nothing wrong, send me this box of tobacco again." Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered.
