Chapter 431 Asking
Father?

In a flash, Tutai finally remembered.

Where have I seen the familiar, uncomfortable, and ominous family crests on the arms of these people?

I saw a black shadow, with Nara Shikamaru as the center, spreading towards the seven members of the Kumogakure delegation on the opposite side.

"Rongdun·Humoyu!"

Here, Tutai reacted extremely quickly. He immediately formed seals with his hands.

A rubber-like yellow sphere rapidly formed, enveloping himself and the three Kumogakure ninjas beside him.

The other three were not so lucky.

At this time, the shadow had spread to their feet.

I saw Nara Shikamaru firmly imprisoned the three opponents. Looking from above, he looked like a black red spider lily.

"Damn Uchiha!"

Inside the protective membrane, Atsuyi, who was well aware of Lord Tutai's defensive capabilities, was still shouting fearlessly:

"Be smart and let us go now.

"Otherwise, Lord Raikage and the thousands of soldiers of my Kumogakure will never let your Konohagakure go!"

"What will happen if you don't let it go?"

Uchiha Sasuke stood up and walked to Atsu's side and asked calmly.

"Of course it is.
"Kill all your ninjas and seize your land!
"Seize your resources and occupy your women!"

Atzii is in a difficult situation.

In the shadows, he had a sinister expression on his face, and instinctively spoke out the words that lingered in the minds of most of the Hidden Cloud Ninjas.

"I see."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded.

Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He turned to the camera and said loudly and stiffly:

“Konoha will always be a peace-loving country.

"However, we also have our own bottom line when it comes to hegemonic countries that want to destroy all this."

In the Humoyu, Atsyi's tense expression eased a little, and he said in a cold voice:
"Hmph, if you're scared, hurry up.
"Uhh—!!"

Before he could finish his words, a white palm surrounded by lightning suddenly pierced through the super-tough protective film that he thought was indestructible.

In horror, he was grabbed by the other party and pulled out of the shield, facing a pair of bottomless cold eyes.

Damn!

After a moment of shock, Atzii still dared to stab with his sword.

Behind him, a new black shadow rapidly spread under Nara Shikamaru, immediately imprisoning the opponent's body.

"Logically speaking, you are not qualified to be the first."

Uchiha Sasuke grabbed the opponent's collar, lifted him up in the air, and said coldly:

"But you, kid, are really anxious."

"Uh-huh."

On the opposite side, Atsei had a horrified expression.

Although he tried his best to make an angry or even warning expression, the fear that could not be concealed in his eyes had already betrayed his feelings.

Uchiha Sasuke stretched out his left hand, and a kunai instantly appeared in his palm.

"Wait a minute!"

A steady voice sounded from behind.

Following the direction of the voice, I saw Nara Yoshino bowing slightly.

Then he raised his head, looked at the struggling Atsyi with a firm gaze and said coldly:
"Hokage-sama, can you let me do it?"

"Well?"

Uchiha Sasuke was slightly stunned, then immediately nodded and said:
"of course."

Nara Yoshino walked forward slowly, took the kunai from Uchiha Sasuke, and stood firmly in front of Atsu.

"Mother."

Faced with this small change, Nara Shikamaru was quite shocked, and he could not help but call out to Nara Yoshino.

But in the latter's ears, at this moment, he could only hear the violent heartbeat in his chest.

"Hey! You bastards from Kumogakure."

Nara Yoshino shouted coldly:

"Listen carefully, everyone."

After a pause, Yoshino's expression suddenly turned fierce, and she shouted loudly:
“The ones who killed you were Nara Shikaku’s wife and family!
"In this world, blood debts must be repaid with blood!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly stabbed the kunai into Atsuyi's chest.

Blood stained her already weathered face.

The pleasure of revenge and sadness were mixed together on her face. She looked like a warrior and there was no trace of her former housewife anymore.

May 19th, the sixty-seventh year of Konoha.

A special jonin from the Hidden Cloud Village, Atsuyi is a blond white man known for his hot temper.

With his death as the starting point, a new round of war and conflict began again between Konoha and Kumogakure.

"Melting Release: Humo Condensation Technique!"

Tutai, who was unwilling to sit and wait for death, finally chose to take action again.

However, under Uchiha Sasuke's absolute suppression, all struggles were in vain.

“Dare to attack me.

"This courage alone is worth my killing you with my own hands."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.

He just dusted off his right arm and stepped over the corpse on the platform.

When I reached the door, I heard silence in the house.

Uchiha Sasuke seemed to remember something and raised his hand.

Like a conductor at a concert.

Behind him, there was an instant sound of killing and screaming.
-
Half an hour later.

Konoha, Hokage Building, in Hokage's office.

Uchiha Sasuke was working hard when suddenly the door was pushed open again.

Nara Shikamaru walked in slowly, alone.

Uchiha Sasuke motioned for the other party to sit down and looked up.

I just felt that Shikamaru's face showed an unprecedented tiredness and calmness.

"It's not over yet."

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head and continued to review official documents while reminding the other party lightly.

"Come out!"

Uchiha Sasuke raised his voice, and the uncle who was previously in charge of photography came out tremblingly from the inner door at the side.

"Did you film it all? Like a movie?"

Uchiha Sasuke turned his head and asked.

“All, all captured.”

Originally, the uncle thought that today would be a key step towards journalism and even politics.

But the subsequent development of the matter has far exceeded his previous expectations.

The government formed by ninjas is absolutely, absolutely, fundamentally different from the politicians he was familiar with before!
"Uncle, don't be too nervous. What's your name?"

Uchiha Sasuke gave what he thought was a friendly smile, but it was even more terrifying in the other person's eyes.

"I
"My name is Kitano Takeshi.

"Just call me Xiao Wu!"

The uncle stuttered.

"Okay Xiao Wu, film is a great art.

"I'm very optimistic about you."

Uchiha Sasuke continued to comfort.

"Yes!"

“Are you interested in working for the government?”

Uchiha Sasuke continued to ask.

"As a citizen of the Fire Nation, doing my part for the Fire Nation is the greatest honor of my life!"

Kitano Takeshi shrank his head, stood at attention, and shouted as loudly as he could.

"Don't shout. Don't shout."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and asked again calmly:

"I heard that film is the art of editing, right?"

"Hokage-sama, you also know about movies?"

After talking about topics he was familiar with, Xiao Wu finally relaxed a little.

But this relaxation made his words slightly offensive. "Ahem."

On the side, Nara Shikamaru coughed lightly to remind him.

Here, Xiao Wu was startled again, and he quickly corrected:
"That's right! Hokage-sama's guidance is the core direction of the film industry!
"From today on, film is the art of editing! No second thoughts!"

Didn’t you say that you should let them find a leader in the industry for you?

Why does this person look so stupid?

Uchiha Sasuke frowned slightly and continued to guide:
"Can the art of editing be used to present what just happened to promote justice and peace?"

After a pause, fearing that the other party did not understand what he meant, Uchiha Sasuke added again:

"I mean, justice for Konoha."

"ah
“Isn’t it live broadcast?”

Xiao Wu asked stupidly.

"As an industry insider, you should be well aware that such technology has not yet been developed."

Uchiha Sasuke answered patiently.

"so.
"what!"

Only then did Kitano Takeshi finally understand what the Hokage had just said - "working for the government" - meant.

"Someone suggested it to me before."

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Uchiha Sasuke said calmly:
"After doing this, I should kill you too.

"War is never something that can be taken lightly, don't you think?"

"Right, right, right. Right?"

Xiao Wu was shaking like a sieve at this moment, and he looked at Nara Shikamaru as if asking for help.

Little did they know that this suggestion was made by the other party.

"But I think that no matter how high or low one's status is, it's better to be cautious when it comes to matters of life and death."

"Correct!"

Xiao Wu understood what he said.

He just nodded vigorously, as if he wanted to mobilize all his strength to agree with what the Hokage said.

"Shikamaru, you take care of the editing.

"Learn more from Teacher Xiao Wu."

"Yes."

Nara Shikamaru nodded.

"Somebody come!"

Uchiha Sasuke raised his voice again, and outside the door, he pushed the door open with his feet in unison.

Sasuke said softly:

"Accompany Mr. Xiaowu around Konoha. If there is any expenditure, please put it on my personal account."

“How embarrassing.”

Without waiting for Xiao Wu to react, he rushed into the house and half-carried and half-invited him away.

Watching the two people leave, the smile on Uchiha Sasuke's lips gradually faded.

He turned around and said to Nara Shikamaru seriously:
“What happened today is just the beginning.

"I want you to keep the following points in mind."

Seeing that Shikamaru had regained his spirits, Uchiha Sasuke continued:

“First, we must firmly grasp the right to interpret this war from the very beginning.

“Images, news, announcements, press releases.

“These are all important means of grasping the justice of war.

“The death of Uncle Shikaku two years ago dealt a heavy blow to Kumogakure, which is why this war was delayed for such a long time.

“And the deaths of Tutai and others should be used for our benefit.

"That Xiao Wu just now is the bullet I gave you."

"Yes!"

Nara Shikamaru understood immediately and nodded seriously.

In my mind, I have already started to draft the relevant plan.

"Secondly, a mere Kumogakure delegation cannot even begin to avenge Shikaku."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly:
"That day, on that night in the Frost Kingdom, I still remember what you said to me. Now, please remember it too.

"Now, after the falling out, what awaits all of us is a fight to the death."

Shikamaru was solemn. The pleasure and exhaustion in his heart gradually subsided again after hearing Sasuke's words.

Yes, revenge for my mother may be over.

But for me, this revenge has just begun.

“It’s the same as lighting a fuse, but for some people, it brings a firework to the world.

“And some of them are just arson.

"The difference lies in whether the subsequent preparations are complete."

Uchiha Sasuke's calm words continued.

In response, Nara Shikamaru looked the Hokage straight in the eyes and nodded solemnly.

"third."

Uchiha Sasuke continued:
“Revenge is a big deal for the Nara clan.

"But it's not enough to support my actions as Hokage.

"It can be the trigger, it can be the first cause, it can even be the main cause, but it can never be the root cause."

On the other side, Shikamaru couldn't help but show a confused expression.

"Give me a better reason."

Uchiha Sasuke said seriously:
“Liberate the civilians and ninjas of Kumogakure;
"The Raikage is secretly colluding with the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, trying to restore and overthrow the status quo of our Fire Nation;
“To resolve potential disputes once and for all.

“Whatever, anyway.

"I want the power of the majority, all united here."

This time, Shikamaru understood what Sasuke meant, but an even more confused expression appeared on his face.

"If you have any questions, please ask them all at once."

After noticing Shikamaru's strangeness, Uchiha Sasuke said calmly:

"I'm afraid we'll be getting busier and busier in the days ahead."

"Nothing, just"

Shikamaru hesitated.

After what happened today, when Nara Shikamaru faced Sasuke again, he no longer had the previous suspicion or deliberate alienation in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
“I just think it’s a little weird.

“At first, I thought you would be like the Uchiha clan in the rumors, a guy who is superstitious about power.

"Once they have accumulated enough power, they will be eager to start their own hegemony. They will plunder the tailed beasts and invade other countries."

“This is overbearing.”

Uchiha Sasuke nodded.

"good."

Nara Shikamaru also pretended to be chatting and said lightly:

"But in the Frost Kingdom, you are not allowed to let anyone go alive. You are so cautious just to avoid war.

“After that, I started to figure out your thoughts.

“Personally, I think you want to use the power of the tailed beasts to further develop the economy and people’s livelihood of our Wind and Fire countries at a faster pace than in the past.

"By improving the lives of ninjas and civilians, the name of the Hokage will be known far and wide.

"By then, civilians and ninjas will be attracted by the promise of a better life and will voluntarily come under the rule of our Konoha."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded silently again and summarized for the other party:
“This is the kingly way.”

“However, what puzzles me most is the whole process.

"Your methods seem to be somewhat..."

Nara Shikamaru was a little embarrassed to speak.

"Not too glorious?"

Uchiha Sasuke smiled slightly and said:
“When facing the enemy, all we have to consider is the cost-effectiveness of our actions.

“The art of deception is twice as effective as the work done with half the effort.

"I did have a good teacher on this road."

"So, what exactly are you holding on to?"

Nara Shikamaru asked frankly:

"The kingly way? The overbearing way?

"Or is it the way of deception?"
