Chapter 667: Nara Shikaku's Changes (Happy 51st to Everyone!)
Chapter 678 Nara Shikaku's Changes (Happy May Day to everyone!)
Half a month has passed before I knew it.
During this half month.
The events of Konoha Village have spread throughout the ninja world.
Almost everyone has known about these events.
The whole world was in an uproar, like a pot of boiling water, with gorgeous bubbles everywhere, but after this period of time, the heat gradually cooled down, just like boiled water, after losing continuous heating, it has obviously cooled down.
No more bubbles.
No more boiling.
This is a phenomenon in the whole world. No matter what happens, it is almost the same pattern, from calm to boiling, and then from boiling to calm.
Nothing can be hot all the time.
This is also a small episode in everyone's life.
Even the people of Konoha Village are the same.
After experiencing the anger and emotional fluctuations after seeing those black materials at the beginning, they no longer have any special emotions when facing such things.
As time went by, things gradually cooled down, especially when the Third Kazekage personally said that he would leave the Hokage and resign from the position of Hokage, they felt much better.
Nothing is actually the point.
Life has to go on as usual.
As long as we return to a calm state, it will be fine.
On this day.
The consultants of Konoha Village who went to the Daimyo's Mansion of the Land of Fire returned to Konoha Village.
When these consultants entered Konoha Village, they were not warmly welcomed, which made them feel relieved again.
Because even they themselves did not know how to face these people in Konoha Village.
Although the black materials that Orochimaru and Danzo broke out together did not bring these so-called Konoha high-level people, in fact, everyone has a scale in their hearts, and they all know that such things are not something that anyone can easily accomplish.
It is impossible that all things are just Orochimaru or Danzo alone, and the Third Generation acquiesces to this model.
There are many things that not only the top leaders of Konoha Village, but also the top leaders of various families have heard about, but they just turned a blind eye and pretended that nothing happened.
There is no way to fully explain this kind of thing.
However, the people of Konoha Village at the scene basically understand that when Danzo and Orochimaru have collapsed, it is difficult to say that anyone is completely innocent and has no connection at all.
It’s just that this matter should not be pursued further, and they have no ability to pursue it further unless some other top leaders come out to expose the news.
But after waiting for so many days, it was found that no one except Orochimaru and Danzo came out to say these things.
Then it seems that there is no point.
After all, everyone knows the principle of keeping oneself safe.
Moreover, many things can be done to a certain extent. In this matter, the third generation chose to go to the position of Hokage, and Orochimaru and Danzo have left Konoha Village. The upper echelons of the entire village are vacant, and they can re-select the people they like in their hearts. This result has actually achieved their desired goal, so it is not good for them to continue to dig deeper.
Many times, it is enough to stop at the point. There is no need to dig deeper after the goal is achieved.
Otherwise, it will not be good for anyone in the end.
If the things done by these consultants of Konoha Village are really dug out and finally resounded throughout the world, then for Konoha Village, it is to add more black material on top of black material, and for people in the whole human world, it will be a laughing stock.
This is a meaningless internal consumption.
What's more, what Orochimaru and Danzo said has actually achieved the effect of shaking the mountain and the tiger.
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the king.
Now Orochimaru, Danzo and the third generation have all left the real power unit of Konoha Village.
It is equivalent to saying that the top people are no longer here, and they can be re-selected, and the new generation of Hokage selected is not selected from the original high-level people of Konoha Village.
So it is equivalent to saying that the high-level people of Konoha Village who are now retained are just staying in their original positions.
They have not been further promoted.
It can be said that they are not the actual owners of the benefits.
Then this is enough.
When the new generation of Hokage, that is, Minato Namikaze, who they think of in their hearts, occupies the position of Hokage, then these people will be cleared away by Minato Namikaze bit by bit.
They will not affect Konoha Village anymore.
This is what they all want to do.
It perfectly meets their expectations.
As time goes by, now they only have one thing in mind, that is, who will become the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha Village.
In their hearts, they all hope that Minato Namikaze can become the new generation of Hokage. After all, Minato Namikaze has completely won everyone's trust in recent events, and nothing bad has happened at all.
As for any other heir, there are actually some points in their minds that can be found problematic. Simply put, some of them have reasons not to support Minato Namikaze, but they have reasons not to support others.
When a person is good enough and cannot find any black spots, then he has advantages.
Everything that Namikaze Minato has shown is simply impeccable in the eyes of these people. In any aspect, from quality to ability to other aspects, Namikaze Minato's performance is almost perfect.
So in their hearts, the only answer waiting to be revealed now is an answer they know very well, who is the new generation of Hokage? Is it Minato Namikaze?
If it is Namikaze Minato, then they feel in their hearts that this matter can be ended here, but if it is not Namikaze Minato, then they will feel that the process of selecting the new Hokage is definitely full of things. They find it unacceptable.
Things will never end like this.
That's how it feels now.
Everyone of them is waiting now.
Waiting for the moment when the answer is revealed.
Now it can be said that everyone has accumulated emotions in his heart.
Just like the kind of volcano that is about to erupt, there is a final condensation before erupting. If the answer they get is the answer they think in their hearts, then their emotions will turn into a carnival, but if the answer to them is Otherwise, their emotions will turn into outright anger.
In fact, these consultants of Konoha Village are very clear about this psychologically. They all know that Konoye Village can no longer withstand more twists and turns. What they need to do now is not to make the people of Konoha Village produce more emotions. Instead of trying to calm their emotions as much as possible, let Konoha Village get back on track.
In the current ninja world, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at Konoha Village. They almost all hope that Konoha Village will become lonely from now on, and hope to see the day when the village is ruined.
After all, in a sense, Konoha Village can be said to be the pinnacle of the entire ninja world. Starting from the first generation of Hokage Senju Hashirama, the people in the entire village have endured all this. Everyone in the ninja world has Knowing how powerful Konoha Village is, they have been leading the entire ninja world forward.
Almost every village is building and following the example of Konoha Village. They use the methods of Konoha Village to make themselves more progressive and at the same time make themselves stronger in this way.
Of course, the most important thing here is that they also imagine Konoha Village as their enemy and hope to defeat Konoha Village. As long as they can defeat Konoha Village here, then they will feel that their village has reached the pinnacle of the ninja world.
Almost every village is eager for this kind of renewal process.
They hope that their village can replace the Leaf Village, stand above the Leaf Village, and stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world.
So it is for this reason that once something happens in Konoha Village, it will attract the attention of the entire ninja world. The same thing happens to other existences, but once it happens to Konoye Village, it will definitely It attracted the attention of the whole world.
Even if it is something that keeps happening in some villages, in fact, there are things happening in every village all the time. Some of these things will arouse public anger, and some will make people feel excited, but these things will not always be ignored. It comes out, and even when people know about it, they don't react much.
The simplest example is when the bloody mist appeared in Kirigakure Village, that is, during the period when the original Obito ruled the Fourth Mizukage. At that time, Kirigakure Village ushered in an unprecedented downturn. There were countless casualties, and the village was completely shrouded in a bloody cloud.
Under that situation, almost everyone understood what happened in Kirigakure Village. This was the case for most people in the ninja world.
It can be precisely because everyone knows it, but not many people take it seriously. They just think that this is what happened in Kirigakure Village and has nothing to do with the entire ninja world.
After all, Kirigakure is just a small village among the five major ninja villages in the ninja world.
Compared to other ninja villages, they are not that powerful, and the topics they can bring are not that particularly high.
But if something like this happens in Konoha Village, it will definitely cause chaos all over the world. Almost everyone knows the status of Konoha Village.
When Uchiha Itachi killed all the Uchiha clan members, Uchiha Itachi became famous in the entire ninja world. However, in fact, this kind of genocide would happen in almost other villages, but they didn't. Such a unique position of Konoha Village.
Precisely because of this reason, what happens in Konoha Village is often magnified many times, and they will attract the attention of the entire ninja world, so this is both a benefit and a disadvantage.
Koharu and Mito Kaden stood at the entrance of Konoha Village, looking at each other, and they could see the unique look in each other's eyes.
"Konoha Village is about to enter a new era." Koharu sighed as she moved to bed. In fact, she still had some idea in her heart. At that time, she had already discovered that Danzo was different and told the third generation about it. , but she didn't get the attention of the third generation. Now that something like this happened, she felt that everything was doomed.
"That's true." Mito Kadoyan nodded. He also discovered this problem. It was just a ninja war, but the result was that almost all the top management of Konoha Village were replaced. After all, in In his opinion, apart from the third generation, the one who really holds the real power in Konoha Village is Danzo.
"I don't know what our status will be like in the future." Koharu changed his mind and was not as arrogant as when Tsunade became the Fifth Hokage. After all, things are different now. There were not so many high-level officials in the Leaf Village at that time. The black material was exposed, and now their confidence in speaking has become much weaker. Even if other people look at them and notice them, they will feel that there is something wrong.
"Let's look at the situation. If it doesn't work out, I have to resign. Now it's a world dominated by young people, so we old guys shouldn't worry about it." Mito Kadoyan sighed. I don't know why, but his mentality now I have become much older, and I see that Konoha Village is still the same as it is today, but the people in it have changed. Suddenly, I feel a sense of strangeness, as if this village that I have lived here for a long time has become different.
"I don't know what will happen to Konoha Village in the future..." Koharu said with emotion as well.
Immediately afterwards.
The two of them said nothing more.
Walking into the leaf village where we are walking together.
Nara Shikaku follows their lives.
Watching all this quietly.
He said little along the way.
He just kept observing these two consultants and thinking silently in his heart. Many things had subverted his original understanding, including the Third Hokage.
All the time.
He felt that the third Tsuchikage was a very good Hokage.
Whether it is as the Bole who is called the Hokage's office staff, or the gentle appearance he presents on weekdays, the Third Hokage has always been a god-like existence in his heart, which he respects immensely.
But.
Recent events have directly overturned his previous understanding.
He found that everything had changed.
The third generation is not the third generation he imagined.
Everything he saw about the third generation was just the disguise of the third generation, which was specially shown to everyone in the village.
However, the real appearance of the third generation is another image.
There are many things going on here.
He had not participated at all, because as a staff member of the Hokage's office in Konoha Village, he was not yet qualified to participate in such higher-level matters.
But when he heard Orochimaru and Danzo teaching for so long that everything that happened in Konoha Village was related to them, he had a strange feeling in his heart. It was like they were investigating something together. companion, and then told him that this companion was actually the initiator of these things.
Everything overturned his previous understanding.
He didn't know how to face the third generation, nor how to face these advisers.
Everything he looked at now felt weird.
This village was familiar yet strange, completely different from what he had imagined before. In the past, he had only seen the bright side, but now he saw the dark side of the village.
He is not a fool, but is very smart. He just got into trouble before and didn't react. Now he understands everything more clearly. Where there is light, there will be dark shadows.
Just like Konoha Village, there are Konoha children that tower into the clouds and bear the brilliant sunlight, and there are also roots that penetrate deeply into the soil, absorbing nutrients and helping the trees to grow strong.
So if Gen is dead, can Konoha still live?
Now his mind was thinking rapidly about these questions.
Every problem is like a gear that is difficult to solve. As long as one of them is not solved, it will stop rotating. Once this gear stops rotating, the other gears will also stop rotating.
It was as if he had entered a dead end and could not get out no matter how he turned. He knew that he was in this maze, but he did not know how to get out.
In a daze, he always thought of Qingyu's shadow.
That made him realize from the beginning that things were not what he saw.
Nara Shikaku is just 17 years old this year. He is very smart and has strong judgment ability. This is also one of the main reasons why he can become a staff member in the Hokage's office. However, after experiencing what happened this year, he has a A completely different transformation, he felt that he had really grown up and gradually become mature.
No one can grasp everything very clearly from the beginning. Even the most talented person has a young, frivolous and naive side. Just as Nara Shikaku showed previously, at that time he felt He is smart, he can judge everything, and everything he thinks is correct, because he has been like this since he was a child.
But this year he found something different.
The relationship between people is not that simple.
Many of the brightness and warmth presented on the surface, as well as the splendor and splendor spoken in the mouth, may not be true.
And some things that make him look unbearable on the surface, those that are hypocritical and those that make him feel dismissive when spoken, or even those that are said to be lies, may be true, or may be his misunderstandings. .
These strange things are criss-crossed together.
He didn't know how to choose.
Now he felt a little bit smart but was fooled by his own cleverness.
When he looked at something, he could see the essence of the thing very clearly, but he didn't know whether it was because he was too smart and saw the essence, or because he was too smart and made up a false essence.
This made him lose some judgment ability on some things.
This is not to say that he couldn't judge this matter.
But when he judged this matter, he couldn't judge whether his judgment was right or wrong.
Especially after experiencing Qingyu's matter, every time he made a choice, Qingyu's shadow would appear in his mind to remind her not to make a decision easily.
Gradually, as things developed, he suddenly felt a little bit of Qingyu in his heart.
It was that peer who taught him such a lesson, so that he could be more cautious when making judgments in the future, and have a clearer result.
It was precisely because of this matter that when he heard the daimyo ask who should be chosen as Hokage, he was actually still very uneasy in his heart.
As for Minato Namikaze, he actually knew him very well, because they were students of the same ninja school.
He had always believed in Minato Namikaze's character and strength, but he didn't dare to guarantee it 100% on such matters.
If it was the old him, he could definitely say with confidence that Minato Namikaze was undoubtedly the one who could become Hokage.
But it's different now.
Now he doesn't dare to say anything for sure.
He prefers to re-observe and examine the world from his own perspective.
Whether it's the Konoha Village that he is so familiar with, or the people in the village that he is so familiar with, or the many relationships that originally existed, this makes him want to re-examine it.
For example, you must see the world with your own eyes, but you can't completely believe everything you see with your own eyes.
This seems to be somewhat contradictory.
But it's the truth.
This matter itself is like this.
Nothing can be absolutely confirmed.
Those who stand in the light and are admired may not be heroes, but may be the black hands behind the scenes, and those who seem to be completely unbearable may not be useless at all.
Unconsciously, Nara Shikaku felt that his thinking had been sublimated. He no longer had the arrogance and pride that he felt unbearable before. He became much more mature. He felt that he needed to see what kind of person Namikaze Minato was with his own eyes, and to carefully look at and examine him again. Only in this way could he personally confirm that Namikaze Minato was an existence that he could recognize without any problems.
At this time.
Nara Shikaku's mood had changed.
He just looked at Koharu Utatane and En Mitomon walking on the road in front of him quietly, with an indescribable feeling in his heart. What kind of story was behind these two people?
He knew that these two people and Danzo and the third generation were all disciples of the second generation Hokage. The fact that they could sit on the advisors of Konoha Village was inevitably related to the third generation becoming Hokage. Then, in the things that were exposed before, these two people were not mentioned, but could these two people really be absolutely clean?
Such question marks filled his brain.
He had some inexplicable doubts in his heart.
He didn't want to speculate on others with malice, but he also didn't want to look at anyone with too kind a mindset. He felt that everything could change.
Nara Shikaku followed behind him step by step. Along the way, he was not only thinking, but also carefully observing. Usually, he had no chance to contact these two consultants. These two consultants were not positions of real power, but they served as a bridge between Yumuye Village and the Land of Fire.
Now such responsibilities are in the hands of these two people.
It can be said that they are holding the lifeline of the Land of Fire's connection with the Land of Fire.
Although it is not a real power unit, it is a real position with oil and water. Any message that wants to be passed on needs to pass through their hands. Although they may not seek any benefits from it, it is certain that any views that are inconsistent with their values may not be passed on.
Similarly, when the meeting was held, he also carefully observed the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the staff of the Land of Fire present.
In fact, he found that the staff of the Fire Country were not completely providing any advice to the Fire Country Daimyo. They were more observing the words and expressions, and the opinions they put forward were the answers that the Fire Country Daimyo wanted to get.
This made him sigh in his heart.
It has to be said that any high-ranking person.
They are very proud in their hearts.
The questions and ideas they want to raise are also perfect in their eyes.
Although the significance of the staff is to help them raise questions.
Let them correct their mistakes when they make mistakes.
But as time goes by, the real staff no longer dare to say those words of force, they only dare to continue to speak along with the words of the Daimyo.
Gradually, this position has become a position that only those who can observe the words and expressions can sit still.
Only those who truly understand what the Daimyo wants to do.
Just now, he was able to gain a firm foothold in this place.
In fact, when selecting the Hokage, he had already seen clearly that these staff officers were constantly observing the expression of the Fire Country Daimyo.
The suggestions they wanted to make were just to see whether this person was the person the Fire Country Daimyo wanted in his heart. If so, they would say yes, if not, they would veto it, but they did not see whether this person was really qualified for the position of Konoha Village Hokage.
Maybe this is the politics of the position.
Taiyang Shikaku was not particularly negative in his heart, but he was like a young man who had seen through the essence of many things, so his original enthusiasm was reduced a lot.
He didn't know if he would become such a person in the future, speaking very smoothly every day, and doing things impenetrably, constantly observing the words and expressions in the position of Konoha Village staff, and then standing longer and longer.
Maybe this is another attitude towards life.
"Shikaku, are you going with us?"
At this moment, Utatane Koharu stopped and suddenly turned back. The world fell on Nara Shikaku, with a trace of scrutiny and doubt in her eyes.
In fact, she had already discovered that Nara Shikaku always kept a distance from them, which seemed to say that they were not the same kind of people.
Although their conversation did not avoid Nara Shikaku, after all, they were not on the same level of information. In fact, even they knew that Nara Shikaku was not an old man from the old era, but a young man from the new era.
After all, in terms of age, Nara Shikaku and Namikaze Minato belonged to the same generation. Now that Namikaze Minato has become the new Hokage, Nara Shikaku will be valued again.
In other words...
Utatane Koharu subconsciously thought that Nara Shikaku distanced himself from them just to draw a clear line, so that when they were dealt with, Shikaku could still sit firmly in the position of Konoha Village, the chief of staff.
He did not think that Nara Shikaku did this, the fundamental reason was how confused he was.
Often as a person who has experienced it, he thinks that things should be like this, and forgets the confusion he had when he experienced these things when he was young.
Many people have experienced this process.
But after experiencing it, they often only see the results and forget the feelings that occurred in it.
Just like pulling a tooth, many people have long forgotten the pain after pulling a tooth, and think that it is just a small matter, but when those who have not experienced these things face this matter, the fear they produce is what they have experienced before, but the answer they can give is that there is no problem at all.

"I won't go."
Nan Lu shook his head, raised his hand and waved it again. He didn't want to deal with such a scene now, but wanted to go back and think about his future life.
In fact, he was also a little confused.
But at the same time, there was a glimmer of light in his heart.
Even he himself couldn't say why, even if he looked at Minato Namikaze from a critical perspective, but he was still willing to believe in Minato Namikaze in his heart.
Since he was very young, when he knew Minato Namikaze, that person has always been like the sun shining on everyone around him, bringing them warmth and light.
He is still willing to believe in Minato Namikaze.
Let's welcome the new era little by little.
After Nanyang Lujiu said this, he turned and walked towards the direction of the Liang family. He felt that he was a little tired recently and wanted to rest for a few days, quietly waiting for the development of things, and then decide what to do next.
In May, I ask for monthly tickets and wish you all a happy holiday!
