69: 64- old man

64- old man

On Ryuu's way home, he met an old man who appears to be around 70, with long hair that reaches his waist, gray and white due to old age. He was dressed in a simple black outfit.0

This old man appeared out of nowhere 4 months ago and was always meeting and talking to Ryuu, for some reason Ryuu felt that he had a bond with the old man and loved being with him and felt happy to talk to him and consider him like his grandfather.

At first Ryuu was suspicious of the old man appearing out of nowhere but he didn't feel anything malicious or hostile from the old man. Since Chakra sense had evolved into a GrandMaster, Ryuu had begun to sense other people's feelings for him, so he didn't feel any hostility from the old man.

"Hello, Ryuu, you look in a bad mood today." The old man gently spoke to Ryuu as soon as Ryuu approached him.

"I am amazed at how you can tell that it's me just by approaching you." Ryuu spoke in astonishment, the old man was blind and always covered the area of ​​his eyes with a piece of cloth, but always when Ryuu approached him he knew him and could locate him precisely.

"Well that's because I was a strong ninja when I was young so I can do something like locate you and know you without my eyes." The old man spoke with a smile on his face and seemed to remember the past and how strong he was in his youth, then sighed at the inability of humans to fight time.

"Come let's sit in the garden near here, you can talk about what's bothering you to me I may give you some solutions" said the old man as he started walking towards the garden without anyone's help as if he could see even though he was blind.

Ryuu followed after the old man and they started walking together to the garden and after 2 minutes and got there, Ryuu chose a place for him and the old man to sit. "Okay, now talk to me, what's bothering you?"

"You already know what's bothering me. I told you that before." Ryuu spoke while sighing.

"I remember you're upset because you haven't been out on a date with girlfriends for more than 3 months, haha," the old man laughed lightly.

"No, not that you already know what I mean." Ryuu said with some annoyance because the old man just taunted him for not being able to spend time with Kushina and Mikoto because they are on the front lines of the war while he's sitting here doing nothing.

"Then you are upset because your girlfriends are in the war while you are sitting and you are not allowed to leave Konoha, as if you were a caged bird that wants to go out but you are not allowed to do so." The old man smiled and spoke softly, likening Ryuu to a caged bird.

"Well you are right, no matter what I asked the Hokage to take me back to the war, he refused." Ryuu spoke with some depression. For some reason he felt comfortable with the old man so he talked to him about some of his problems and liked to take some advice from the old man. "Although I am already very strong and can defeat most ninjas, he still refuses."

"This is normal. You are an important resource for the village and its future. The Hokage does not want to risk putting you in war and then being targeted and killed. Although I heard that you are as strong as the Kazekage or perhaps even stronger, this does not mean that a person at the Kage level is not in danger. Even people are on The level of the Kage there is a possibility that they will die in the war." The old man started explaining why Ryuu was not allowed to leave Konoha.

"Actually there is another reason why you are not allowed to go to war, do you want to know?" The old man smiled while asking if Ryuu wanted to know the other reason.

"What, is there another reason why I was not allowed to go to war? I didn't know that he told me about it." Ryuu was curious about the other reason.

"The other reason is very obvious but you didn't notice it. I heard that when you fought Suna forces you rushed recklessly into their forces, even though you survived and achieved great achievements but your recklessness is what made the Hokage not want to send you to war. He thinks that you are an impulsive person and after you get your current achievement he thinks that you will become more arrogant and reckless which could cause you to get killed." After hearing the old man Ryuu was surprised that he hadn't thought of this before.

"You can solve this problem and you may be allowed to go back to war. Go and tell the Hokage that you want to go back to war but this time tell him that you will not disobey orders and will stay with the Konoha forces, and you will not be reckless by going to the enemy forces again. After the Hokage hears this words from you, he might think about it and let you go back to war." The old man gave the solution to Ryuu's problem and this problem was the real reason why he was not allowed to go to war.
