Naruto Shadow Mage

 “You’ve learned a lesson, Uncle Dingzuo!”

　　He nodded vigorously. Under Ding Zuo's patient guidance, Cross Country clearly had another understanding, and even his eyes showed a hint of enlightenment.

There is no doubt that as his own strength increases, the off-roader who is already a quasi-shadow level strongman has no arrogance at all. He is always very cautious when facing strong enemies, for fear of accidentally capsizing his boat in the gutter. But in some aspects, Cross Country is still proud. Just like when he once faced the leader of the Uchiha clan, Cross Country didn't really take him to heart.

yes!

  Coming across cross-country, the first person to be slapped in the face was Uchiha Fugaku.

Coupled with the fact that the Uchiha clan is slowly compromising and preparing to win over the cross-country, how can the cross-country, who are all quasi-kage level strong men, take the other party to heart?

Even if he knew that the other party was a generational hero in the original plot, he would still treat him with contempt, just like he felt when he faced Ding Zao. Even though he knew that Ding Zao was the leader of the Akimichi clan, he still had a subconscious attitude. Do you think the other person is a reckless person?

At this moment, Ding Zuo used his own wisdom to clearly tell Jiujiang that no one who can become the leader of the clan is an easy person to deal with.

Like Hyuuga Hizashi, is he really that miserable in front of Hyuuga Hizashi?

 In fact, in terms of Hyuga and Hinata's ability alone, he is definitely the best among the Hyuga clan's clan. Otherwise, how could he become the patriarch of the Hyuga clan's clan?

 It’s just that compared with Hyuga Hizashi, Hyuga Hizashi has some shortcomings in some aspects and has some shortcomings.

 So most Naruto fans feel that Hinata Hizashi is not as good as Hinata Hisa, and it would be a failure for him to succeed the head of the Hyuga clan.

 The situation of Ding constellation is just like that of Sungai Sunzu who is suppressed by Sungai Heli difference.

Among the trio of pigs, deers and butterflies, there is the off-road uncle Shikaku and the mountain clan member Haiichi. One has no rival in strategy, and the other is extremely smart in politics. Under the long-term suppression of the two people, Choza of the Akimichi clan gradually turned into a pure thug, because in the eyes of most people, the brain of the Ino, Deer and Butterfly trio is Shikaku, and the second brain is Haiichi. Ding Zuo was ignored little by little.

 However, being able to become the leader of the Akimichi clan and commanding a ninja army alone, Ding Zao is obviously not as unbearable as ordinary people imagine.

Dingzuo saw the look of enlightenment in Cross Country's eyes, and immediately nodded with great relief.

Undoubtedly, even Ding Zao knows that the only hope for the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamazaka clans in the future is the cross-country known as the Shadow Mage. Therefore, just as he was optimistic about the potential of cross-country and gave him a cross-country ninjutsu scroll, Ding Zao is also thinking about the future of the Akimichi clan at this time.

 Otherwise, no matter how good the relationship between Ding Zao and Shikaku is, why should he give instructions on off-roading?

Then, when Cross Country truly realized his mistake and understood that the patriarch of each family in Konoha Village was not as simple as he appeared, Ding Zuo was afraid that Cross Country did not understand the current situation of Konoha Village, so he shared some of his opinions To Cross Country: "Cross Country, you may not understand many of the things I just said. After all, you have outstanding talent in cultivation, but as you have been concentrating on improving your strength for a long time, I am afraid that your analysis of the situation is somewhat insufficient."

“Now, let me tell you for Shikaku what the current situation in the village is like.”

“In general, it is nothing more than internal and external troubles.”

After saying that, Ding Zao pondered for a few seconds and continued: "There is no need to say more about the foreign invasion. The Leiying is eager to take advantage of the situation. Thanks to you, you have stopped the progress of Yun Ninja Village. In a short time, the foreign invasion should be There is no problem. But the Raikage of Yun Ninja Village is the true pinnacle figure in the ninja world. When he completes the next step of deployment, the war will still start, and the duration is beyond our imagination. "

“But compared with external troubles, internal worries are what we really need to pay attention to!”

“Cross-country, your uncles Lujiu and Haiyi and I were on the wrong team before!”

“And it’s not just our three clans. The other clans who are on the wrong team must face a lot of trouble!”

 Listening to Ding Zao's patient talk, Cross Country finally understood why Ding Zao said he should return directly to Konoha Village instead of going to the ninja troops in Konoha Village.

 Just like Orochimaru said before, the situation of the Nara clan in Konoha Village is very bad, or in other words, the family that was originally prepared to be loyal to the Fourth Hokage is facing a very bad situation.

After the "death" of the Fourth Hokage, the original power of Konoha Village collapsed into four parts, namely the original power of the Third Hokage, the power of the elders represented by Shimura Danzo, and the power originally prepared to be loyal to the Fourth Hokage. , and there is the central force with the Uchiha clan as the bright side and Orochimaru as the dark side.

 Under the suppression of the Third Hokage, coupled with the friendship between the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo and other members of the Elder Council, the forces of the Elder Council represented by Shimura Danzo temporarily withdrew from the center of the struggle for power. On the contrary, the forces that were originally prepared to be loyal to the Fourth Hokage, such as the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka clans, were faced with a very embarrassing situation.

 After all, the Fourth Hokage "died", and the loyalty of the Nara and other three clans has transferred. Even if they return to the embrace of the Third Hokage, can the Third Hokage not doubt it?

 When there is suspicion, there is suppression.

The reason why Shikaku and Haiichi did not go to the battlefield to command the ninja troops was probably the result of the Third Hokage's deliberate suppression.

But luckily, after the "deaths" of the Fourth Hokage and Uzumaki Kushina, the Third Hokage once again faced a situation where no one was available. Therefore, although Shikaku and Haiichi are still like "prisoners" and "imprisoned" in Konoha Village, Ding Zao has the opportunity to become the commander-in-chief and lead Konoha's ninja troops to fight on the front line.

As time goes by, with the suppression of the Third Hokage completed, I think it is possible for Shikaku, Haiichi and others to return to the embrace of the Third Hokage.

 But just when the internal worries were coming to an end, the Shadow Mage appeared!

Off-road alone destroyed an entire ninja force of the Cloud Ninja Village, and almost killed the commander of the Cloud Ninja Village. This shocked the Third Hokage!

Suppose, after becoming famous in a cross-country battle, he returned to Konoha Village injured, then the Third Hokage felt that under his supervision, a mere shadow mage would not be able to make any waves. It's a pity that cross-country has made the shadow mage famous, and he went to the frontline battlefield instead. How does this make the Third Hokage feel?

 This is the feeling of the Third Hokage, the shadow mage who wants to be independent!

 Only on the front line can we achieve more meritorious deeds.

When the merits are enough, the Shadow Mage will surely enjoy prestige in Konoha Village. At that time, even if the Third Hokage mastered the method of controlling the Shadow Mage, in the face of "righteousness", the Third Hokage could not easily control the cross-country.

This is where Dingzuo feels embarrassed when traveling cross-country to Dingzuo.

“Hey, off-road, it’s a good thing that you come to me, you can help me stabilize the battle situation. But under the suspicion of the Third Hokage, I can’t use you, and I don’t dare to use you!”

“It’s a good thing to become famous as a teenager, but it’s a pity that you are too young for cross-country.”

“Now that you come to me, I am not sending you to fight, nor am I sending you back.”

“You talk about off-roading, it’s such a hot potato, how do you want me to solve it?”

 Sighing deeply, Ding Zao didn't complain about the cross-country, but more about the Third Hokage's fault.

 It can be seen that after the Fourth Hokage was "disheartened", the attitudes of the Nara, Akimichi and Yamazaka clans towards the Third Hokage have changed. It was obviously a good thing to become stronger in cross-country, but under the expansion of the third generation Hokage's desire for power, it suddenly turned into a bad thing. In front of cross-country, Ding Zao really felt as if his hair had turned gray.

　　On the contrary, when it comes to off-roading, the more I learn about political things, the more I feel disgusted.

 Following with a slight frown, Cross Country was not prepared to cause trouble to Ding Zao, and returned to Konoha Village alone, wanting to see what the Third Hokage was going to do with such a meritorious minister like himself.

Who would have thought that just when Cross Country expressed his idea of ​​returning to Konoha Village, Ding Zao, who had been frowning before, suddenly smiled, then stepped forward and patted Cross Country on the shoulder and said:

“Forget it, cross-country, don’t go back.”

“I’m afraid it’s a fault that you go back now, rather than a merit, so you just stay here with me.”

“Although I cannot send you to the several battlefields opened on the front line, the ability to open a new battlefield...”

 “Your uncle Dingzuo still has one!”
