Red Dust

"Could it be that 'Shadow' is a guy who does his own thing, so he can sit upright and feel at ease?"

"What do you think?"

Daimaru chuckled.

"You have to know that when you become Hokage, there is no backing you can rely on. When making decisions, you still expect your subordinates to give you advice, hold a meeting and argue with you for ten days and a half, and get a reluctance. The plan accepted? It is because of trust that everyone put the authority to manipulate fate into your hands, and your compatriots are waiting for your orders, not negotiating!"

"Then... what if everyone disagrees?"

"In most cases, as a 'shadow', you don't need to consider whether your subordinates agree or not, as long as you care about whether your subordinates will execute orders..."

Many people have the illusion that they are right, and the more people who agree with them, the more right they are. In fact, when people are lonely, they feel very insecure. Only when standing in a crowd will they have the courage to speak up for themselves.

"If you want to be a 'shadow', what you need is great wisdom and courage to come forward at critical moments, and use your own will to lead your compatriots forward, instead of being coerced by your subordinates!"

"Very typical meritocracy theory..."

"Yeah! Ordinary people will use the times to create heroes to comfort themselves. When they are unsatisfactory, they will push the reasons for their failures to bad luck and bad luck, but they never feel that it is because of their lack of ability! The so-called hero, every time There are all ages, they are there, just waiting for their luck to come and play..."

Daimaru said bluntly and bluntly,

"Learn more skills and make the wings a little harder. When the wind comes, they will naturally be able to spread their wings and fly high; those pigs that were blown up by the wind, how did they get up, they will fall like this in the future. If seniors really want to compete with Hokage You have to let your compatriots know what kind of Hokage you want to be..."

In the past life of Daimaru, it is the position, standing in line, debate, election, the ninja world is not so troublesome, daily tasks, leisure time, combat performance, etc., bit by bit, are deepening their impression in the hearts of the villagers, from quantitative changes to qualitative changes, Finally recognized as Hokage.

"I...probably understand!"

Daimaru's remarks made Sarutobi Asma silent for a long time, and then said with emotion,

"As expected of a person who has really been in charge of a village! The so-called 'shadow' is different from the evaluation criteria of ordinary ninjas..."

Isn't this a matter of course?

Being the eldest brother and the younger brother are not the same thing at all, even the "second child" who is infinitely close is not a creature of the same level as the eldest brother.

"Do your part! Don't feel embarrassed, and don't pay too much attention to those gossips. The third generation's biological son, who is currently Hokage's promising successor, isn't enough to explain the problem?

"It seems that my identity as a third-generation son has really taken advantage of it..."

When he thought of being rebellious and running away from home when he was young, the bearded man's face became hot.

"Recently, I have dealt with the powerful and powerful people in the country of fire. When it comes to the name of the three-generation old man, everyone will look at me highly..."

"Senior, do you still have any doubts?"

It's getting late, and if I go back later, the food prepared by the pregnant wife at home will be cold.

"Then...don't bother you with your hair..."

The bearded man who was talking made a flash and disappeared in place.

"It's so troublesome to push "young people" who are not yet mentally prepared to take the lead, alas! 』

Housework, village affairs, and the turmoil in the world have indeed brought a lot of trouble to Sarutobi Asma during this period. However, being a Hokage is easy to say and easy. Like Tsunade, there is a powerful secretary who is silent. It's actually quite satisfying to be able to slack off and have a drink or two every other day.

However, when it comes to troubles, it's time to start out. For example, when Nagato is attacked, anyone can fish, but Hokage can't. Once she backs down, no one will trust her anymore.

Originally, this bearded man should have been killed by Feiduan with the blood curse and death by blood. Now that he has continued his life, he will be able to see his daughter born soon, and even give birth to the hope of becoming the seventh Hokage. It's really unpredictable.

……

In Konoha Hospital, after Haruno Sakura finished her mission of saving the dead again, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and saw Naruto Uzumaki standing at the door with an anxious expression, waiting for him.

"Sakura, is it over?"

"What? Yamato-sensei has reorganized the team with results?"

"Well! Obviously we don't need so much trouble, we can bring Sasuke back to the seventh class without any help!"

Uzumaki Naruto had a bitter face, a face full of unwillingness.

After knowing the information of Uchiha Sasuke's reappearance, he forced his way into the Hokage House, and after being taught a hard lesson, he has calmed down a little bit of impatience.

Chapter 1153 The Villain

The relationship between the three students of Hatake Kakashi is far more complicated than that of other Genin teams of the same period.

The love triangle is only a secondary point, and the entanglement between Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha is the main contradiction.

After Uchiha Sasuke rebelled and fled, he tried many times to add members, and it is conceivable that the run-in was unsuccessful. No one can replace Uchiha Sasuke's position in the hearts of Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura.

Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno couldn't sit still after knowing the information that Sasuke Uchiha successfully counteracted Orochimaru and reappeared.

However, today's seventh class has undergone unexpected changes.

The fifth Hokage and Tsunade abdicated, and Haruno Sakura, who was his disciple, no longer had the privilege of being specially cared for, and Naruto Uzumaki couldn't mess around with the tougher Hokage sixth generation, Shimura Danzo.

The style of "The Darkness of the Ninja World" is destined to not be as smooth as the three generations, Sarutobi Hijen and Tsunade.

If the seventh class wants to go out to find Sasuke Uchiha, they must have a formal team, and act without authorization. Believe it or not, the sixth generation of eyes who are eager to stand up will send people to pursue them, even under the name of rebellion, the people below Couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"That old man covered in bandages is unreasonable, it's better for the three-generation old man to talk to Granny Tsunade..."

A good boss can only be understood by comparison. Without experiencing Shimura Danzo's strength, how can he understand the tolerance and care of Sarutobi Hizan and Tsunade for himself and others?

Uzumaki Naruto's complaint, Haruno Sakura also felt the same, if Tsunade was still in power, there is no chance to intercede more, and now, if the two want to go to the Hokage House to meet the sixth generation, they must agree.

Naruto-sama, who is in charge of every day, has no time to pay attention to the private requests of several young ninjas.

Thinking of the impermanence of facts, just because Konoha Village was attacked, Hokage changed people, and then everything changed.

The master who used to cheer up from time to time is now probably either drinking at the izakaya or sleeping soundly with the bottle at home!

Once the burden is lifted, Tsunade's nature is almost exposed. If it weren't for the disaster in the village, it would not be good for the former Hokage to frequent the casino, and I am afraid his performance would be even more worrying.

Fortunately, as the most brilliant medical ninja in the ninja world, Tsunade has also undertaken many tasks of saving lives and helping the wounded, saving many seriously ill patients from suffering, and everyone turned a blind eye to her "small flaws".

In addition, Tsunade has not let go of the responsibility of carefully teaching his disciples, which is really gratifying.

As for the extras, don't mention it.

Thinking of these troubles, Haruno Sakura took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile:

"Is there any news from Kakashi-sensei?"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched the back of his head, and replied somewhat uncertainly:

"That's what I mean, let me wait patiently, the sixth generation has its own arrangements..."

"It's really perfunctory..."

Haruno Sakura shook her head regretfully,

"I heard Senior Mute say that Yun Ren is very dissatisfied with Sasuke's attack on the Yatai people Zhuli, and wants to join forces with the village to arrest the organization. If they resist, they don't even rule out killing them on the spot..."

"How about that? Sasuke is not a traitor, but he was deceived by Orochimaru..."

"I'm afraid... only we think so!"

Haruno Sakura spoke in a low voice.

Orochimaru died, and Uchiha Itachi was also said to have been killed by him. He got his revenge, but he did not return to Konoha Village. He also got entangled with the "Xiao" organization and attacked the eight-tailed man Zhuri. What is he going to do?

If a ninja does not listen to the dispatch and leaves the ninja village without authorization, he can actually be judged to be a defector. Of course, there are exceptions, but if there are substantial betrayal activities, there will be no excuse.

After a while of silence, Sakura lowered her voice and said:

"I found out from a private channel that the reason for the hesitation in the village is not ruled out that Sasuke Uchiha's strength is too strong. With our seventh class, there is no way to take it..."

"How? With me here, I can definitely bring Sasuke back! Even enemies like Nagato have been defeated by me..."

Naruto Uzumaki vowed, but Sakura Haruno was noncommittal.

A large part of Uzumaki Naruto's strength comes from the nine tails in his body, and is not completely controlled by him.

The performance of the ups and downs was too great, so that the village could not pin all its hopes on him.

At the cost of almost destroying the village, the strength of the people who survived was only saved, and it would be bad if they took the initiative to send them to the door and were captured in one fell swoop.

In fact, Naruto Uzumaki's aptitude is no worse than Sasuke Uchiha, but, as a pillar of the Nine-Tails, his growth is destined to be a bit more bumpy, and the gap can be closed after a complete reconciliation with the Nine-Tails.

Both are destined "saviors", and the degree of favor is similar, and the key to determining their growth rate is the acquired growth.

The current Uchiha Sasuke is approaching the upper limit of his strength, but Uzumaki Naruto is still a breath away.

This is also the reason why Daimaru behind the scenes of Shimura Danzo does not want Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha to meet too early, or even one-on-one.

Naruto Uzumaki can fail, but he can't lose so much that he loses confidence. The current situation of the ninja world does not give the "Child of Destiny" a chance to grow.

While the two were chatting, Anbu, who was wearing a mask, handed a document to Haruno Sakura and disappeared.

After taking it apart and looking at it, Haruno Sakura frowned slightly.

"what's up?"

"The Five Shadows Conference is about to start. I want me to get ready and leave next week..."

This is a task that has been passed through a long time ago, but I didn't expect that at this time, the request to recover Sasuke Uchiha was so urgent, but he was distracted by other things.

To be honest, Haruno Sakura didn't want to leave Konoha Village at this time.

The Five Shadows Conference generally doesn't last long, but if Sasuke Uchiha appears again at this time, he will definitely miss the opportunity to follow up.

"But now?"

Naruto Uzumaki had a bitter face, the seventh class was close to collapse, Sasuke Uchiha actually defected, Kakashi Hatake was transferred to another place, and Sakura Haruno had to leave the village to go out on a mission. Naruto has nothing else to do except practice.

"I'll be back soon, it shouldn't be a mistake!"

Haruno Sakura comforted herself, and also reassured Naruto Uzumaki. As for what she thought in her heart, it was unknown.

……

After Nagato's death, the "Xiao" organization, which was reluctantly kneaded together, and conflicts could break out at any time, Konan and Uchiha Obito, have not communicated much with each other except for the important matters that had to be dealt with together.

In a deep underground space, after leading the team to attack the pharmacist's pocket, Ibaraki, who returned, stood alone on the thick vines that were almost dead, and looked up at the tentacles protruding from the outsider golem. One by one white cocoons, inside are the white jues that are transforming one by one.

Under the water surface of the roots, through the faint light, one can barely see the figures lined up one by one, that is the avatar of Bai Jue that has been stored for many years.

This kind of fighting puppet, which is not a complete life, should have no difference between the main body and the sub-body in essence. It is necessary to give a position. The main body of Bai Jue is like the role of "commander", not the core of controlling other Bai Jue. The one who has the control of Bai Jue is actually an outsider golem.

If Hei Jue is a derivative of Kaguya Otsutsuki, then the divine tree is the master of Bai Jue.

Bai Jue's body is dead, the other Bai Jue clones are fine, the divine tree is sealed, Bai Jue is a rootless tree, a source of water, all will die.

Ibaraki came to this place, of course, not idle.
