Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 84 Situation

"Simple, let me tell you, you can go to Hinata to borrow money."

At first, Naruto really thought that Tetsuya was giving him an idea, and he was looking forward to it, but what he said turned out to be such a bad idea.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Hinata's family is very rich."

Zheya held back his laughter and teased him:

"If you go to Hinata to borrow money, as long as it's not a particularly exaggerated amount, she will definitely lend it to you without saying a word!"

"That's right. I also know that Hinata's family must be very rich."

This is nonsense. The Hyuga clan is now the largest landowner in Konoha. As the eldest daughter of the clan, Hinata was once trained as the future head of the family. Her pocket money is probably worth a poor kid like Naruto. A month's worth of food expenses, maybe several months.

"But borrowing money always has to be repaid. If I borrow a lot of money, I will pay it back later."

Naruto hesitated for a long time, but still rejected Tetsuya's proposal and refused.

It was just a joke with him, so Zheye continued to persuade him without any scruples:

"What are you afraid of! Why don't you pay for it with money!"

He was happily talking nonsense and was about to keep up his efforts when suddenly Ino pinched his waist hard:
"What kind of compensation! You're just talking nonsense here!"

"Tsk, I was just kidding Naruto."

Tetsuya was in pain. He turned around and saw Ino glaring at him with a threatening look, and hurriedly explained:
"I'm just talking nonsense and there's no compensation for it."

Seeing that Tetsuya was talking nonsense, Ino finally let go of the hand holding the soft flesh of his waist and looked at Naruto:

"Don't listen to his nonsense about borrowing money or not. Besides, if you want to express your feelings to Xiang Phosphorus, you don't necessarily need to spend money. You can come to the flower shop whenever you have nothing to do, and chat more."

……

Naruto finished eating the noodles and ran away quickly.

Tetsuya and Ino were chatting while eating, and the meal lasted almost an hour.

Fortunately, Ichiraku Ramen is not a place with a very large flow of customers on weekdays, so the two of them occupied their seats without any delay in greeting new customers.

"By the way, why did you tell Naruto that? Do you want to bring him and Hinata together?"

After eating, Tetsuya took a toothpick and was about to pick his teeth when he suddenly heard Ino asking.

"That's not true. Although everyone can see that Hinata is interested in that guy, he doesn't have this string in his head now. Before, he was probably filled with dreams of being a Hokage."

"Huh? So?"

"It's just a joke, I don't mean anything else. But to be honest, besides training to get Sasuke back, Naruto is probably thinking about having a good relationship with Karin."

Ino nodded when he heard this:
"That's true. I've seen her several times. He really thinks Xiang Lu is his sister. He's so enthusiastic that it makes Xiang Lu a little annoyed."

"Isn't it true? I don't think Xiang Phosphorus is unhappy."

Ino subconsciously asked:

"is it?"

"You may not have asked carefully about Xiang Ling's past experiences, so it's normal not to know. She has also lived a hard life since she was a child. Although she was accompanied by her relatives at the beginning, her only relatives later left her, so I I think Xiang Ling really won't be bored with Naruto's presence."

"Maybe I'm secretly happy."

Ino tilted his head and thought about it carefully, but still felt that there was nothing wrong with his judgment:
"But I really don't see any positive performance of aromatic phosphorus."

Zheye smiled and stretched out his hand to straighten her long bangs on the side, and said softly:
"Sometimes some things don't need to be expressed directly."

Zhe also kept some words in his heart but didn't say them.

People are completely different from each other. If Kosovo had been living in Konoha Village, with no shortage of friends and playmates, no lack of parental care, and living a life like Ino, then a guy with a weak brain would be very If she wants to take care of herself as a brother and get close to her, then she will most likely be annoyed to death.

Kokoro actually lacks these things, so Tetsuya is very sure that she at least will not resent Naruto's existence.

As long as you don't feel disgusted, that's enough.

"By the way, you are leaving tomorrow? I heard that Kirigakure is quite dangerous. Only Kakashi-senpai and Kaorin can guarantee safety with you?"

Ino turns to Tetsuya's mission.

Kirigakure is quite dangerous. This statement naturally comes from the closed policy of Kirigakure Village in the previous years. The cruelty caused by the bloody rule in the Blood Mist cannot only be directed at Kirigakure itself, but also It spread to anyone who came into contact with Wuyin Village.

When you encounter a Kirigakure ninja in the Kingdom of Water, you must abandon or even kill your companions. You must strike first and kill the enemy first, otherwise the Kirigakure ninja will definitely take the lead in attacking, etc.

It can be said that this type of concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has only been more than ten years since the Third World War, less than a generation.

"Don't worry, since Kirigakure dares to take the initiative to send out an invitation, then in terms of this trip, it should be safer in Kirigakure than on the road."

"Moreover, Kirigakure not only invited Konoha ninjas, but also Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure. If anything really happens, it shouldn't be Kirigakure's handiwork. If you engage in conspiracy on this kind of thing, you won't get any benefits in the end. Instead, it’s Kirigakure Village itself.”

"So, the ninjas of Iwagakure and Kumogakure are more likely to be disadvantageous to you?"

"Probably, it should be like this."

The reason why Ino talks about Iwagakure and Kumogakure is because he has always been too impressed. These two families can be said to be the main enemies of Konoha in all previous wars.Especially Kumogakure's gang. In the earliest days, during the armistice negotiations, the Kinaku Ginko rebellion killed the Second Hokage. In recent years, Kumogakure's mission attempted to abduct Hyuga Hinata. After the failure, they threatened to launch a war. The death of the head of the Hyuga family occurred. Although their purpose ultimately failed and the members of the Hyuga branch eventually sacrificed for the clan, this incident still brought the relationship between Konoha and Kumogakure to a freezing point.

If I remember correctly, when Naruto's mother Kushina was almost kidnapped, it was also the Kumogakure ninja who did it.

It can be said that Kumogakure is a complete villain to the people of Konoha.

As for Iwagakure, on the surface, they don't have a stiff relationship like Kumogakure, but they can't be considered close at all.From the First Ninja War to the Third Ninja War, Konoha's opponents have always been the combination of Iwagakure and Kumogakure. Relatively speaking, Kirigakure is like a soy sauce existence. As for Sunagakure, he has no sense of existence. , has always been the younger brother among the five major villages.

It’s not that Konoha hasn’t fought Sunagakure and Kirigakure a lot, but compared to the wars between Kumogakure and Iwagakure, no matter the amount of effort invested, the brutality of the war and the number of casualties, the importance to the fate of the village, etc. , can be said to be not worth mentioning.

The five major nations in the ninja world, Fire, Thunder, and Earth, can be described as old enemies. In every war, the Fire Nation is in a defensive position, while Thunder and Earth are ambitious challengers who want to annex the Fire Nation. and the Leaf Village, unifying the ninja world.

It's not that Konoha and the Fire Nation have no ambitions, it's just that they have no motivation. The Fire Nation, which occupies the fertile land in the center of the world, has no interest in waging war against other countries.

Just because there is no benefit at all.

Sunagakure is simply a desert, Kirigakure is an island country with not much arable land, the clouds in the high plateau mountains are jingling, and Iwagakure with barren land is not much different.

Konoha really has no motivation to start a war.

This is the geopolitical situation in this world, and there is a reason for Konoha's image of a good old man.
