Daily Life of the Third Hokage

The old man was very happy.

For Naoto Mitarai, Sarutobi Hiruzen tried his best to teach him all the ninjutsu he wanted to learn, to see which one he would specialize in in the future. Naoto Mitarai lacked all kinds of advanced ninjutsu knowledge, and he got to where he is now with the basic ninjutsu obtained entirely from the channels of the ninja school. It was really not easy, which also led Sarutobi Hiruzen to look up to him. He was also a genius among the civilian ninjas. No one led and taught him before.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to train him and see what it was like to train a ninja who was not famous in the original work in this ninja world. Since teaching his disciple that day, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been busy on the road for the next few days.

After traveling for a few days, everyone was very tired.

When they were about to reach the village, they adjusted their expressions, tidied their clothes, and prepared to be greeted by the villagers.

After registering and entering normally, Sarutobi Hiruzen casually dealt with the greetings of the surrounding ninjas.

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and saw Uchiha Kagami. Didn't he ask him to find the daimyo?

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's dangerous eyes, Uchiha Kagami led the members of the guard department and shouted loudly: "Uchiha Kagami, the head of the Konoha Guard Department, represents the Guard Department to welcome the successful return of the Hokage to the Land of Sand."

"Congratulations to the Hokage on his successful return," everyone said in unison.

On this stage, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only smile: "We are all working hard for Konoha, colleagues, you are welcome. Let's get busy first."

When everyone dispersed, Sarutobi Hiruzen disbanded the visiting group and directly pulled Uchiha Kagami to the Hokage's office.

Pushing open the door of the office, I saw that the documents to be processed on the table were already piled high. The entire desk was filled with paper money. Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless. He could only push open a space on the desk and then take off all the ceremonial clothes of the Hokage. He said to Uchiha Kagami: "Kagami, tell me the result of your visit to the daimyo."

Uchiha Kagami said excitedly: "Huruzen, do you know? This time I have raised 1 billion taels, which is the grant from the daimyo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a while and said: "Tell me everything about your trip to the capital this time."

After Uchiha Kagami told Sarutobi Hiruzen the whole story with a little credit, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face changed immediately. He was tricked.

It turned out that after Uchiha Kagami received the notice from Sarutobi Shinya, he personally led 3 teams of senior ninjas to the capital to escort several people from the gold exchange office, swaggered through the streets, and went directly to the daimyo's mansion to ask for punishment.

After the daimyo understood the situation, he handled it decisively. However, those who felt it was not okay brought ninjas to the door.

The daimyo summoned all the nobles in the capital and dealt with the noble son who issued the bounty in front of Uchiha Kagami, and then fined him 200 million. He felt that the punishment was not strong enough, so he directly allocated 800 million to make up 1 billion. He directly drove a carriage to Konoha.

The daimyo handled it very well. He admitted his mistake in dealing with the nobles and gave Konoha an explanation. He was afraid that Konoha would despise the small amount of money, so he directly paid 800 million to calm Konoha's anger.

Is it enough to deal with a noble son for the bounty of Konoha? It is definitely not enough. Afterwards, the noble clan leader will thank the daimyo for settling the matter for them. The swagger of bringing silver to Konoha is to create a fait accompli. The daimyo has already dealt with Konoha in this matter. You can't look for the future.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen hoped to use this incident to restrict the nobles. As a result, Uchiha Kagami was so happy when he saw 1 billion taels that he lost his mind and easily let the matter end.

Setting up checkpoints was originally a conflict with the noble caravan. It would be difficult to use the bounty to control them in the future.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Uchiha Kagami. That ninja was so confused when he saw the daimyo spending 1 billion taels at a time. It was almost equivalent to Konoha's annual fiscal revenue. Although Konoha needs funding from the daimyo's mansion every year, Konoha's own fiscal system can also have about 1 billion taels every year, but this is definitely not enough for Konoha's overall expenditure. That's why the funding from the daimyo's mansion is needed.

It is definitely not okay to handle the bounty incident in this way. The price of provoking the high and low Hokage is just a little money from the daimyo's mansion and the nobles. This price is too cheap, so it is inevitable to go to the capital to find the daimyo in person in the future.

Looking at Uchiha Kagami's changed face, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want to blame this loyal partner too much.

Then he adjusted his expression. He smiled and said to Uchiha Kagami: "King, the handling is almost the same.

It's not good, but it's OK. I was going to talk to the daimyo about the checkpoints. It's not bad to get 1 billion taels this time. "

Uchiha Kagami knew that he might have ruined Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan, and said ashamedly: "Hiruzen, I don't know your plan. I didn't do it well this time, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand: "It's okay, you go and do your work first, I still have so many documents to review."

"Huruzen, I..."

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal, I'm here."

....

Not long after Uchiha Kagami left, Nara Shikashin brought another document over. Sarutobi Hiruzen took it and glanced at it. He found that it was a teacher supplement plan for Konoha Ninja School. He felt that there was no problem, so he signed an agreement directly. He handed it to Shikashin.

Nara Shikashin took the document and was about to go out when Sarutobi Hiruzen called him, "Shikashin, wait a minute." "

Nara Shikashin turned around and said, "Hokage, is there anything else?"

"Go and draft a letter of transfer for the deputy envoy of the Iron Country, transfer Danzo back, and transfer Qufeng over for a while." Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Nara Shikashin, and saw that Shikashin looked lost. Then he explained, "Don't think too much, this is a normal transfer. There are still some things that Jing went to the Daimyo Prefecture to deal with, and I will have to deal with them when the time comes."

"Oh, oh, I was distracted, sorry, Hokage." Nara Shikashin said and walked out.

After Nara Shikashin left, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "Alas, smart people are heavy-minded and like to think about things. ”

......

On the other side, after Nara Shikashin finished drafting the transfer letter, it was already dark.

Nara Shikashin could only go to his father, the clan leader, and then ask his father to send someone to invite Akimichi Tofu.

In the room of the Nara clan leader, Akimichi Tofu had not come yet.

Shikashin was playing shogi with Shikadai nonchalantly.

“Father, what do you think of the transfer of Lord Hokage this time? Is Lord Hokage going to suppress our three tribes of Ino, Shika and Chou?” Nara Shikashin asked his father while eating a chess piece.

Nara Shikadai: “It’s not that we will suppress them. The three tribes of Ino, Shika and Chou are the first to stand in the Hokage faction. Lord Hokage will not do such a thing to disrupt his own position. It is possible to knock him down. This time, when I went to Sunagakure with Lord Hokage on a visit, Lord Hokage gave me a different feeling. He is not a person who is keen on factional struggles. For factional struggles, they are basically all open and aboveboard. ”

“Father, when the Hokage asked me to draft the transfer document, he said it was a normal transfer and told us not to think too much. But I can’t help but wonder if we, Ino-Shika-Cho, did something wrong.”

Nara Shikadai: “When you are by the Hokage’s side, you only need to listen to the Hokage and do things. You shouldn’t bring this matter back today. You are the Hokage’s secretary, and you should consider the Hokage wholeheartedly. Otherwise, you won’t be the Hokage’s secretary for long.”

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: “Uncle Shikadai is right. You just need to do your duty as a secretary by Hiruzen’s side and don’t think too much. Hiruzen will not deal with the three tribes of Ino-Shika-Cho like this.” Akimichi Tofu pushed the door open.

Waiting for Akimichi Tofu to sit cross-legged on the low couch, he watched them play a game of shogi. Then he said: “I told Uncle Shikadai on the way back not to think about these messes. Hiruzen is my teammate and I know him. Although I still don't understand some of his things after he became Hokage.

But I believe him. Danzo is better at plotting and scheming. I guess I went to replace Danzo this time because I need Danzo in this regard.

Also, do you really think that the power of our three tribes, Ino, Shika and Chou, is very great? So great that Hiruzen needs to be wary?

Are you overestimating us?

There are 5 Hokage assistants. Not to mention others, the power of the Guard Department controlled by Kagami did not cause Hiruzen to be wary. With our three tribes, a Hokage assistant who doesn't care about things, a Hokage secretary with little power, and a temporary Hokage consultant? "

"Haha, Qufeng still sees it clearly. As the think tank of the three tribes, it is my habit to think more about everything. Now it has backfired." Nara Shikadai said with a laugh.

Nara Shikaxin was still a little worried: "Then I took this document home today. Will there be any problems with the Hokage? "

"Give me the documents and I'll take care of them for you. Tomorrow morning I'll take the documents to Hiruzen for signature and then go to the Iron Country to exchange for Danzo." Akimichi Qufeng said indifferently.

"Then I'll leave it to Qufeng. It's also Lu Xin's fault for not knowing the limits. But we just came back from the Wind Country and now we're going to the Iron Country right away. Isn't it too tiring?" Nara Shikadai was happy at first,

The problem can be solved, but what comes next is embarrassment, the embarrassment of having to rush to the Iron Country without stopping.

Akimichi Norifuge took the transfer document from Nara Shikashin and said, "It's okay. It's all a small matter for me. In this position, you can be incompetent, but you can't be really useless."

"I'll go back and prepare. I have to go to the Iron Country early tomorrow morning. Shikashin, just go to the Hokage's office normally, don't think too much about everything." Akimichi Norifuge opened the door and walked out.

"You are still not experienced enough in doing things. In the future, you will also take over as the clan leader and become the think tank of the three tribes of Ino, Deer and Butterfly. How can you be so fussy? Norifuge is only a few years older than you?" Nara Shikadai saw that Akimichi Norifuge had walked a long way and directly scolded him.

"Father, I thought too much this time. I will concentrate on the work of the Hokage's secretary in the future.
