Regarding the matter of the Fourth Hokage, Konoha's top leaders had actually been preparing for it long before the end of the Third Ninja World War.
On the one hand, he was worried that after his death in battle, there would be no leader, and it would be bad if someone took advantage of the chaos of the handover. On the other hand, the Third Hokage really began to feel that he was incapable of doing things, and thought it was time to give way to the younger generation.
However, the top leaders have been arguing about this candidate.
Even Jiraiya and Tsunade were among the initial candidates.
It’s just that these two are more troublesome than the other, one runs away and the other runs away.
People really don't feel comfortable handing Konoha over to such a person.
Then they started selecting in the village. After a fierce competition, they finally decided on Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze. The support from both sides has always been evenly matched and hard to distinguish.
Then there were a series of accidents and work, and this matter was delayed.
And now, it's time to make a decision.
Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to report the matter to the daimyo and let the daimyo and ministers make the final decision.
"Since the two candidates are so outstanding that the village cannot decide, let's leave it to you adults."
The Third Hokage's gaze swept over everyone present.
"I believe that no matter who the final result is, everyone can accept it."
The top leaders of Konoha looked at each other and nodded.
That’s right, they are all excellent ninjas of Konoha, whether it is Orochimaru or Namikaze Minato, they can accept it.
Only Shimura Danzo's expression didn't look good.
He frowned and said, "It's a bit hasty for people to make the decision right after they got back."
Of course he didn't feel sorry for Minato Namikaze's hard work.
Rather, when they have just become 'heroes' and their popularity is at its peak, no matter how you think about it, it will be disadvantageous to the candidates you recommend.
At least we have to hold out for this period of time until the heat dies down.
"It can't be considered hurried."
The Third Hokage said cheerfully.
"I didn't expect Danzo to be so considerate. But this matter has been delayed for a long time - didn't you always say before, Danzo, that it should be settled sooner?"
——How can that be compared to now!?
He said at that time that we should settle it earlier, wasn't it because you guys were dilly-dallying?
Besides, that was when Orochimaru was very popular.
Can it be the same now!?
It would have been better if he hadn't said it. As soon as he said it, a fire of evil rose in Shimura Danzo's heart again.
You still say you are not against me!
The Third Hokage was still rambling: "It's good that it's settled now. With a new backbone, everyone in the village will feel more at ease."
Although war is no longer necessary, Shadow, as the pillar of a village, still needs to be stable.
Shimura Danzo closed his eyes and held his breath: "As you wish."
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately continued what he said:
"That's what we'll do."
Shimura Danzo: ...
What else can he do?
Danzo Shimura can only place his hopes on Orochimaru, hoping that he can take this opportunity to try harder.
However, he looked for people several times but came up empty-handed every time.
There was absolutely no opportunity to talk alone.
Not because Orochimaru wanted to break up with him.
It's simply that Orochimaru is too busy.
We need to confirm both the order and the production.
You also have to keep an eye on the ratio, packaging, etc.
The shortcomings of the personal workshop were truly reflected at this time.
Even though more people were brought in, Orochimaru was still indispensable.
He can delegate the tasks to others, but he still has to keep an eye on them.
In addition to the need to continue improving existing technologies (otherwise he would be too busy), Orochimaru even began to use the Upper Shadow clone to work.
One is responsible for inspecting the production line, and the other is responsible for improving the production line.
Orochimaru, who liked to do everything by himself, felt for the first time that he was willing but unable to do anything.
Naturally, you won’t have time to think about whether Danzo will look for you or not - who has time to wait for you every day?
You can't bring me any real benefits.
Who doesn’t make a verbal promise?
If it weren't for the real money from Ugetsu, Orochimaru might not have thought it was a big deal.
But this comparison...
That means you have to compare the goods before you throw them away.
So not only did Danzo Shimura fail to find the person, he also received news that Jiraiya and Orochimaru were working together.
Danzo Shimura's blood pressure really went up this time.
You, Sarutobi Hiruzen - you specifically picked two of your students to play a trick on me, didn't you!?
Unlike Tsunade, Jiraiya is a die-hard student of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
born.
She is the type who is completely in the same boat with him. Even if she has been hanging out outside before, she will come back immediately as long as he calls her.
And who doesn't know that guy is out there just to gather intelligence for the third generation?
If someone said that the cooperation between Jiraiya and Orochimaru at that time was not instructed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo Shimura would not believe it.
But now that things have come to this, it doesn't matter whether he believes it or not.
So Danzo Shimura had no choice but to hate Orochimaru as well.
It's so hateful.
——Of course, no matter how angry he was or not, the fact that he was going to have talks with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire would not change.
Orochimaru's work will not stop for him.
Especially after capturing Jiraiya as a laborer, he was able to make even greater progress.
When Orochimaru uses Jiraiya, he won't have the slightest bit of mercy.
So when Jiraiya saw the plan given by Orochimaru, his hands were shaking.
"Why, any comments?"
"Of course!"
What a big opinion!
"What do you mean? Are you serious about this work time?"
"Of course, this is what I carefully adjusted based on your actual situation. You can definitely complete it."
Jiraiya took a deep breath: "I mean this working time!"
Content or not is counted separately at this time!
Seeing this work sheet, even a veteran ninja like Jiraiya couldn't help but choke up.
"Start work at 5 am and get off work at 12 pm???"
"It's not that we get off work at 12 o'clock in the evening, but that we stop working at 12 o'clock in the evening, and we meet to review the work of the day."
“That’s still work!”
Jiraiya shouted in disbelief.
Even Miss Yu Yue doesn’t make things so difficult for me!
Orochimaru frowned slightly, confused, "How is this considered work? This is just a meeting."
"It only takes less than an hour to review today's work and sort out the work process. How can this be considered work?"
Orochimaru made an unintelligible sound.
“This is an opportunity to improve the project and your work efficiency.”
Jiraiya: ...Did people say so?
Jiraiya, who advocates freedom and doing whatever he wants, and Orochimaru, who loves planning and rushing things, have absolutely nothing in common in this regard.
The two people's train of thought are completely unrelated.
Orochimaru believes that improving work efficiency is something worth celebrating. What's wrong with spending more time and energy on it? Isn't that a huge profit?
After all, once you have mastered it, it is all your ability.
But Zilai is different. He thinks that most of the work can be done as long as it is roughly done.
If you can complete 80% of the task, why bother to do 100%?
Spending more effort on those two points won't have much impact.
Spending more time and energy for those two points is just asking for trouble.
Faced with this scene, Jiraiya decided to take a step back - he would definitely not be able to argue with Orochimaru on this kind of technical work.
He put it another way.
"Okay, even if we don't count it as work, if we remove this hour, wouldn't my rest time only be 4 hours?"
Orochimaru nodded, and then responded in a strange tone:
“Isn’t 4 hours enough?”
Jiraiya: I……
Orochimaru completely ignored the other party's livid expression and continued:
"On the battlefield, one or two hours of rest a day is a luxury. Now, isn't it enough to give you four full hours a day?"
That's 4 hours.
"You also said it was a battlefield!"
The white-haired man's voice rose two degrees.
Jiraiya really wanted to catch Orochimaru, pry open his brain and see what was inside.
"How do you know we are not on the battlefield now?" Orochimaru's expression changed, "We are now on the battlefield of the order."
"There are countless people waiting for our goods. What we have to face is a battle for supply - and we are under tight time constraints and have a heavy task. You can think of it as a tough battle."
"As long as the orders have not been completed and there are countless people waiting to get the goods, our war has not and will not end."
Orochimaru's tone was so solemn, and the pressure from him was so heavy, that Jiraiya didn't know what to say in his rebuttal.
If it's not a battlefield, then apart from the fact that there are no undead people, there doesn't seem to be much difference?
But if we talk about the battlefield, it's a bit...
Without waiting for Jiraiya to come around the corner, Orochimaru continued to pursue him.
"Isn't it more than enough time to give you four hours of rest in a battlefield like this?"
Battlefield
Of course, 4 hours a day is...
"No, that's not right. Even on the battlefield it's not that tense every day."
Jiraiya came back to his senses, the battlefield is not a battlefield...
Orochimaru is clearly trying to change the concept!
They can't rest when they are on the battlefield.
But it’s not like this every day. When changing shifts or rotating guards, you can rest for the whole day - the most you have to do is increase your alertness.
Sometimes, even when the enemy doesn't come, we still have three to five days of rest.
When Orochimaru heard this, a hint of regret appeared on his usually cold face.
He thought he could fool his old teammates at once.
What a pity, how come my brain works so fast?
——Could it be because I’ve been working for Miss Ugetsuki for so long that I’ve been using my brain all the time?
But Orochimaru was not in a hurry.
This is just one move, there will be follow-up.
So he spoke.
“But we are at a critical juncture now.”
"How many people are waiting for the release of the Hero Eggs of the Running Hero series."
"You can go and take a look at the orders I received, as well as the merchants who stayed in Konoha in order to get the goods first. These are the orders that Miss Ugetsu agreed to. I won't lie to you."
"And the whole thing started because of your book - can you bear to disappoint your readers?"
Without waiting for Jiraiya to answer, Orochimaru immediately added:
"They are all the people who supported you in the previous theft incident."
——This hit Jiraiya’s soft spot.
Unlike Orochimaru and Tsunade who don't care about other people's gazes.
Since he was a child, Jiraiya has always been the one who wanted to be noticed, wanted to be the stronger one, the one who attracted more attention.
That's why he ran out regardless of the consequences in order to become stronger - although the result was good, he found Myoboku Mountain and learned fairy arts.
But if we are not careful, there may not be any 'Three Ninjas' in this world, but only 'Two Ninjas'.
So Jiraiya hesitated.
If he hesitates, that's easy.
Orochimaru continued his efforts:
"Are you going to disappoint their expectations?"
"It's not a pleasant feeling to wait so long."
Right in the heart.
Jiraiya's expression suddenly fell.
went down.
It has come to this.
Well, then he definitely won’t be able to refuse.
So he picked up his worksheet dejectedly.
"Let me try it first, okay?"
But he didn't say it too harshly.
"If you can't finish it, don't blame me."
After all, he is not good at this kind of technical work.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you can complete everything I arrange."
For example, inputting chakra to promote the growth of hero eggs and other hard work, there will definitely be no problem.
So Jiraiya threw himself into the work assigned by Orochimaru with great enthusiasm - of course, Orochimaru did not forget to say hello to Ugetsu.
After all, it might delay the progress of "Young Heroes" (Part 2).
Yu Yue waved her hand generously and agreed to this arrangement.
"Young Heroes" (Part 2) will be released by the end of the year at the earliest. Now the Hero Egg is the top priority.
This is also a good opportunity to train Jiraiya's work ability and let him get used to a truly high-intensity work state.
After all, humans are creatures that tend to form habits over time.
So Orochimaru worked even harder to exploit his old teammate.
I never thought that there would come a day when their relationship would be so reversed.
At the same time, he somewhat understood Miss Yu Yue's feelings.
It feels so good to see others having to finish their work with a gloomy face.
First time in life.
Orochimaru seriously considered the idea of ​​establishing his own team.
A person's energy is always limited, and he wants to achieve his goals as quickly and as easily as possible.
Someone still has to be responsible for those less critical but troublesome things.
Thinking of this, he felt a little bit regretful.
——After all, the orphanage, a place for selecting high-quality employees, has already been occupied by Miss Yu Yue.
If he wants to find someone... he'll probably have to look outward.
Ugetsu later learned that the Sandaime and others had gone to the capital of the Land of Fire to discuss the matter of the Fourth Hokage with the Daimyo.
After all, she helped Uchiha Ryo a lot, so Uchiha Fugaku would definitely return the favor after hearing this news.
“I see.”
After listening to Uchiha Shisui, Yu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
"It would be better to look for the daimyo and nobles."
She also
I’m afraid they won’t look for it.
After all, if they only made the decision internally, then all the preparations Yu Yue had made before, the momentum she had built up, and the grand ceremony to welcome the heroes, wouldn't they be of no use?
She deliberately made such a big deal out of it just to create momentum and enhance Minato Namikaze's reputation.
As for the others... they were just incidental.
After all, if she only pushed Minato Namikaze the whole time, it would seem too deliberate.
It is inevitable that some people will dislike it because they have seen it too many times.
But if you push many people at once and then put a C position among them, it won’t be so obvious.
——Have you considered this before?
Uchiha Shisui looked at the girl in front of him in surprise.
As an assistant, he witnessed all of Yu Yue's work.
I never expected that the work that seemed to be done just for the Yuyue Store project actually included such a purpose.
By now, it was impossible for him not to understand the impact of Yu Yue's series of actions.
Now, Lord Minato's influence can be said to be at its peak.
Especially after finding the missing autographed book and destroying the evil forces, he became a widely recognized "hero". This "hero" is not just a self-proclaimed title by the ninja village, but a title recognized by ordinary people and even nobles living in the outside world.
Under this premise, if the third generation goes to consult the daimyo and ministers for their opinions.
The answer would definitely be in favor of Minato-sama.
Uchiha Shisui was sincerely impressed.
He felt that if it were him, he might never come up with such a brilliant idea in his life.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing that Uchiha Shisui didn't answer for a long time, and that the hand that was massaging her shoulder stopped, Ugetsu couldn't help but look up.
"No, nothing."
Uchiha Shisui shook his head and continued his previous actions.
"I just think Miss Ugetsu is really amazing."
"well enough."
In fact, Yu Yue wants to say that this is just the basic operation of a modern Internet company.
But considering the situation in the ninja world...this kind of operation is indeed a dimensionality reduction attack.
But to say that she bullies people, that’s not the case.
After all, things in the ninja world don't always go exactly as she expected.
——For example, the 500 books that were stolen previously , plus the force that was destroyed because of stealing the books.
Yu Yue couldn't help but think of some bizarre news she had seen in the past.
For example, the thief actually comes from a wealthy family and stealing things is just his hobby.
Could it be that the people from that force also have the same idea?
All I can say is that rich and powerful people have more quirks.
In short, from Yu Yue's own perspective, she is still in the process of adapting.
It is hard to say that she is standing on an invincible and accident-free vantage point.
Oh yeah, and medicine.
At least in front of that horrible-tasting medicine, Yu Yue felt that she could not be called a winner.
She marked every three days when she had to take medicine as "Good Friday".
This is definitely the biggest challenge she has faced since coming into this world.
But she just had to drink it.
Because according to the joint analysis of Yakushi Nono and Chiyo, her condition will actually become more serious as she gets older - although theoretically as long as her meridians can be unblocked in time throughout her life, it will not affect her life.
But it is still a "deterioration" no matter how you look at it - who can guarantee that no accidents will happen to you in such a rapidly changing world?
So it is necessary to treat it.
...Even if the taste of the medicine is really inhumane.
"Why can't ninjas invent a way to make medicine less unpalatable when they have so many amazing techniques?"
"Ms. Ugetsu."
Just as Ugetsu was doing his usual complaints about the awful smell of medicine, the voice of a strange ninja was heard at the door.
Uchiha Shisui almost immediately restrained his expression and moved closer silently.
"What's up?"
"I'm sorry to bother you, but... Lord Tsuchikage is visiting. Please move."
...Tsuchikage?
At this time?
Yu Yue was very surprised.
"I'll be right there."
She motioned to Uchiha Shisui to open the door.
A ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector was standing outside the door , and Uchiha Shisui nodded.
He said that he knew this person - he did work in the Hokage Building.
Regarding the visit of the Tsuchikage.
Not only Ugetsu was surprised, but also Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku, who were left behind to be in charge of Konoha's work, were also surprised.
After all, not long ago
During the three Ninja World Wars, Konoha and Iwagakure were once hostile to each other.
Even though they just collaborated.
But to be honest, the two villages are not familiar enough to visit each other without any reason.
Especially at this juncture when the third generation is not around, it is really difficult to judge the other party's intentions.
Konoha naturally became nervous.
In addition to Minato Namikaze, the person in charge of the reception was Uchiha Fugaku, who was in charge of Konoha's security.
Both were very alert.
Seeing the looks of the two, the Third Tsuchikage laughed and said.
"You don't have to be so nervous. I'm not here to look for you."
A short old man was sitting on the sofa in the reception room of the Hokage Building. Behind him were Huang Tu and Chi Tu, who served as his guards.
——These two people are not unfamiliar to Minato Namikaze.
"I'm only here to discuss cooperation with Miss Yu Yue."
In the past, the Third Tsuchikage never thought that one day he would be able to calmly discuss the topic of cooperation in Konoha.
After all, many years ago, when he and his master came to Konoha, they were rudely rejected.
Even though Uchiha Madara had long since left, that memory was still deeply buried in his mind.
The ugliness and anger of having his sincerity shattered on the ground made him and his teacher lose the idea of ​​negotiating with Konoha again.
Until today.
Knock knock knock.
Someone was knocking on the door outside regularly.
"Ms. Yu Yue is here."
"Come in."
Namikaze Minato went to meet him.
"Tsuchikage-sama is here to see me?"
After Yu Yue came in, she didn't say anything polite and looked directly at the old man sitting on the sofa.
"That's right."
The Tsuchikage also stood up.
"We in the Iwagakure Village are very interested in your proposal for cooperation. However, due to various reasons, we have not been able to have a formal discussion with you. After much thought, we have decided to meet and talk."
Although he was unhappy about coming to Konoha, he thought that this would better demonstrate his sincerity.
The Tsuchikage decided to go there himself.
"You're welcome."
Yu Yue sat on the other side of the sofa.
"Are you talking about the hero egg business?"
Yu Yue took the opportunity to recall the contents of the letter he had written to the Hidden Rock Village.
Allow.
"That's right."
The Tsuchikage nodded and added.
“Besides that, there’s the dream bag thing.”
He smiled kindly.
"The Sand Village has unique topographical features, and our Iwagakure Village isn't much worse."
If the Sand Village can have a "desert style", then they can also have a "rocky mountain style".
We are all partners, so we cannot favor one over the other.
"Can."
Ugetsu nodded.
The landform and customs.
Do it, you can do it.
After the deal is settled, let Scorpio develop it.
"But we may need some help from the Iwagakure Village, such as collecting folk songs."
“That’s no problem.”
The Tsuchikage agreed immediately.
"If Miss Ugetsuki wants to go, we in Iwagakure Village will be responsible for your entire trip and security."
"I must make Miss Ugetsuki feel the hospitality of our Iwagakure Village."
In short, it won’t be worse than the Sand Village.
However, the Tsuchikage's statement made Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku look unhappy.
At first, they seemed to be a little more relaxed when they saw that the Tsuchikage was really only here to discuss cooperation.
But now the heart that had just been put at ease almost immediately rose to my throat again.
What are you doing?
Want to rob someone! ?
"You are joking, Tsuchikage-sama."
Minato Namikaze immediately stepped forward and interrupted.
"Of course, Konoha will be responsible for Miss Ugetsu's absence."
Are you kidding? How could I possibly hand it over? They are the ones who sent people to the Sand Village, okay?
"Konoha has so much work to do now, so don't worry. We in the Iwagakure Village will definitely send our best people to welcome Miss Ugetsuki."
"No, no, no matter how much work there is, it won't affect Miss Ugetsuki's affairs."
The Tsuchikage and Minato Namikaze engaged in a tug-of-war.
Both of them are constantly showing their advantages.
Before long, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but join in.
Are you kidding? Miss Ugetsu is an important partner of Uchiha. How could she be easily won over by you?
As soon as he opened his mouth, Huang Tu naturally joined in.
There are two people in Konoha, so the Iwagakure Village certainly can't just watch the Tsuchikage fight two alone.
The number of people increased
In addition, both sides even improved the conditions.
——For example, pick-up and drop-off services throughout the trip, and reimbursement of all expenses.
The escort personnel must at least be jonin, etc.
In short, they did everything that the Sand Village had done.
This also gave Yu Yue a deeper understanding of the intelligence capabilities of the ninja village.
Only the Sand Village and Konoha knew what the Sand Village had done to welcome him.
Even those people who were rescued on the road had seen it, but it was only a glimpse. However, the Iwagakure Village was able to dig so deep and comprehensive.
Well, a ninja is indeed a ninja.
But one must always know when to quit, and it's fine as long as the conditions are similar - the purpose of her coming here is to discuss cooperation with the Iwagakure Village.
“Ahem.”
She cleared her throat.
"So, what about the Hero Egg...?"
"Of course, everything will be in accordance with Miss Yu Yue's rules."
The Tsuchikage also came back to his senses from the argument with Minato Namikaze, and sat back down as if nothing had happened.
"We accept it."
The Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village have a vested interest in each other. After finding out from the Third Kazekage that the conditions given by Ugetsu were fair and unbiased, the Tsuchikage decided to accept them all.
Of course, Sand Village and Konoha are the birthplaces of dream bags and hero eggs respectively, so it is inevitable that there will be some bias towards them. But who made Miss Ugetsu not settle down there?
As the production site and the original two partners, it is inevitable that they have other contracts.
The Tsuchikage came here just to take on the identity of the 'third partner' - otherwise, when the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village react, what will they have to do?
Even if you can't eat meat, you have to drink some soup from a bowl.
If he had some concerns before the search team from the five major ninja villages was formed, then he was shocked after seeing the grand celebration and people's attitude.
The Tsuchikage really didn't have even the last bit of hesitation left.
Of course, it would be best to make friends with someone who has such influence as early as possible and then get a piece of the pie.
Of course, this is only one reason.
The Third Tsuchikage looked at Ugetsu who was instructing the Uchiha boy beside him to get the plan and the contract. Both the boy and the girl had very calm expressions.
It was as if they were just talking about an ordinary business, not involving two villages that had once been at war.
Miss Yu Yue led the sales and was stolen
He had also read the book that caused such a stir.
Even he has to say "it's a good story".
Unlike most people who only focus on the protagonist and important characters.
The Third Tsuchikage saw many microcosms of the ninja world from the story.
The sadness of having to fight.
And the tragedy brought about by repeated fighting.
And... people who live in such a world but refuse to follow the rules and accept it.
In the face of tragedies and tragedy, there are always people who step forward and try to turn them into a happy ending.
No matter how difficult it is.
Someone will always stand up.
The whole story is about this.
He felt that Miss Ugetsu, as the person who promoted the publication and promotion of this book, could not have failed to notice this.
No, maybe this is why she works so hard to promote it.
Especially after personal contact, the Third Tsuchikage felt that he saw many different things in Ugetsu.
Different from ninjas, and also different from ordinary people living in this world.
Let me put it more bluntly.
He felt that he vaguely saw another possibility.
A possibility he didn't know how to describe, but it would be better than the current one.
to this end.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and then let out a long exhale.
He was willing to give up his stubbornness and make a try - so what even if Ugetsu was a businessman promoted by Konoha?
The Sand Village can gamble, but the Iwagakure Village can’t?
That doesn't make sense.
If they deal in business objectively, then at least the Iwagakure Village won't lose money, right?
Although it came suddenly, Yu Yue was very satisfied with it.
The Tsuchikage was also very satisfied.
Both of them believe that their cooperation will be bright and hopeful.
Only Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha looked at each other and felt the pressure at the same time.
I never thought it would turn out like this.
It seems that they are under a lot of pressure now. If they continue like this, their status as the number one partner of Konoha Uchiha might be in jeopardy!
Both men saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.
No, we have to think of other ways.
——Of course, in addition to the danger of "losing your identity"
Other things besides machine sense.
For example, the cooperation with the Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village.
They are still happy to see it happen.
Cooperation proves that there will be no war in the short term.
The fact that both sides benefit proves that their cooperation can be sustained.
That way, even if a war breaks out someday, there will be more companions than enemies.
Although from a personal perspective.
Not everyone can accept this result immediately.
For example, Hatake Kakashi.
When he heard the news, he was stunned.
Then, for the first time in a long time, he quit his job.
He ran away without looking back.
——He thought he had calmed down.
Just like accepting the death of my father.
After all, that's what a ninja's life is like.
Who you join forces with and who you become enemies with.
Kill someone today, and be killed by someone else tomorrow.
There is nothing they can decide on their own.
But I heard that the Iwagakure Village was going to cooperate with Miss Ugetsuki.
He was still so overwhelmed by the shock that he could no longer maintain his sanity and fled.
Closing his eyes, the scene of Obito being buried by falling rocks is still vivid in his mind.
How could he forget?
How could he just accept that?
There was even a moment when he even felt resentment towards Miss Ugetsu.
Why do you want to cooperate with those people?
Isn't having Konoha enough?
Even if we cooperate...why do we have to choose Iwagakure?
But he soon realized that this was just an outburst of his childish emotions.
Because I can't do anything, and I can't change anything. I just resent Miss Ugetsu who did nothing wrong and just made the best decision for me.
"You're right, Obito."
The boy hit the stone with one lap, then turned around and sat down with his back against the stone.
"I am... such a rubbish."
No matter what the situation, the first reaction is always to blame the problem on the person who should be your companion.
It's terrible.
Facing Hatake Kakashi who suddenly ran away.
Might Guy wanted to catch up immediately, but he was caught by Uchiha Shisui as soon as he took a step.
.
The curly-haired boy shook his head.
"Leave him alone."
Of course they knew that the ninjas from the Iwagakure Village killed the Uchiha people.
In particular, Uchiha Obito took it upon himself to transplant a Sharingan to an outsider - the clan held several meetings just for this matter.
In the end, considering that this was Uchiha Obito's last wish, and that Hatake Kakashi was the apprentice of Lord Namikaze Minato, he turned a blind eye and agreed.
It is impossible to say that the Uchiha have any complaints against the Iwagakure Village.
Just as a ninja.
Rather than considering the gains and losses of one person, they would consider the interests of the entire clan and the village more.
After all, Uchiha Obito is one of many Uchiha.
But for Hatake Kakashi.
He is a unique teammate.
War brings irreparable wounds to everyone.
Even if you don't care about them on the surface, they still exist in everyone's body and heart.
Even Uchiha Shisui lost all his relatives in wars. He knew how despairing this kind of depression and loneliness could make people despair. There was nowhere to escape, and the suffocating loneliness and despair seemed to be able to drive people crazy.
...So he sincerely hoped that no one would experience such pain again.
Even though he knew it was just an impossible wish.
He is also willing to work hard for this slim possibility.
That's why he particularly hopes that Miss Yu Yue's plan will succeed.
If the ninja villages could really sit down and engage in long-term cooperation.
Does that mean that the next "war" may come later?
So before the Konoha high-ranking officials led by the Third Hokage could return to the village to announce the "good news", they were hit by a "shock" on their heads.
"The Third Tsuchikage is here?"
"I came to negotiate with Miss Yu Yue about the cooperation of hero eggs and dream packs???"
Isn't this too fast!?
They felt that they had gone to discuss the selection of the Fourth Hokage very quickly this time.
Didn't expect it could be faster here.
The meeting between the Konoha high-level officials headed by the Third Hokage and the daimyo and several ministers was unexpectedly quick.
Almost as soon as they mentioned Minato Namikaze's name.
The name was confirmed immediately.
The reason given was also very natural: "Isn't he a hero? Then isn't it natural for a hero to be Hokage?"
Several other ministers also agreed with the daimyo's words.
So without waiting for them to introduce and explain the two people, the Fourth Hokage was decided.
Danzo Shimura, who went with him, didn't even have time to speak.
All the preparations I spent half a day on were in vain.
If the daimyo and his ministers were hesitant, he could still give some advice, but the daimyo gave an answer straight away... What could he do? Should he stand up and refute the daimyo's decision and ask him to think it over again?
Not to mention him, even the Third Hokage didn't have this face.
He could only keep a gloomy face and shut his mouth as the name that made his teeth ache was mentioned again and again.
'Namikaze Minato', 'Hero'...
If it weren't for those troublesome guys who hindered the mission assigned to the Root Ninja, they would have been in a difficult situation.
Can Minato Namikaze still be the hero?
What a joke!
However, when he thought of the accidental incident that made Minato Namikaze a hero, Danzo Shimura became even more furious.
After talking about Minato Namikaze, the daimyo and nobles started talking about the new things they were paying attention to recently - and most of them were the work of that girl Ugetsu.
The ministers and daimyo were evidently pleased with her business.
It not only brings fun, but also traffic and revenue.
It seemed as if he was prepared to give her a little more 'convenience' in his words.
Danzo Shimura is really in pain this time.
So as soon as the matter was over, he urged people to return to the village.
He really didn't want to stay in this place anymore.
Although he had to listen to Minato Namikaze's good words when he returned to the village, at least he had his own territory where he could hide in peace.
Continue to stay here...tsk.
But they never expected that after they had fought back and forth, the Tsuchikage not only showed up, but also signed an agreement.
What's wrong with you!?
You are the shadow of a village and yet you are so proactive. How can we talk to others in the future?
If you are a little slow in agreeing, wouldn't it be like being scornful? ? ?
Under the impact, who would be the 'Fourth Hokage', which was almost a foregone conclusion, became a less important matter.
Danzo Shimura, who had thought that there would be a lot of excitement, shocking and even flattering people, slowly typed a question mark.
——This is the establishment of the Fourth Hokage, can you guys take it seriously? !
