Chapter 40: Third-year-old birthday party and apprenticeship
That is an era that belongs to young people, and it is even possible that they will decide the leaders of Konoha for the next few decades.
The more sensitive ninjas are no longer just watching but have started formal discussions.
The Ino, Shika and Chou families held another meeting, and the Nara clan expressed high appreciation for Kakashi's behavior today.
And they believe that this child has reached the level of the Third Hokage who has been in the ninja world for decades at such a young age.
His move was like an antelope hanging on a horn, easily defusing Danzo's attack.
Moreover, he made perfect use of Asuma Sarutobi, which makes people sigh that young people are formidable.
If the handover could be peaceful, Konoha would very likely return to the state it was in when the Second Hokage was in power when it was handed over to Kakashi, and the village would likely usher in a round of incredibly rapid growth.
After praising for a long time, I made a decision.
"So...let the family stay away from him."
"The kindness from the front line is not as important as the continuation of the family. That child is too dazzling."
"The dispute between the Third-sama and Kakashi is no longer limited to the matter of Hatake Sakumo, but also a dispute over the will of fire and interests."
"At present, Shinobi has not yet completely aged, and his decades of business in the village are no small feat."
"In terms of finances, connections, material possessions, strength, popularity, and control, etc., they are far superior to young people."
"Minato-sama also gained the support of other ninja clans only after he obtained the recognition of the Third-sama. He slowly began to take back his power after he ascended the throne."
"If Kakashi is willing to lie dormant, there is still a chance, but what a pity..."
"Lord Qufeng has become more pure as he gets older. After all, we were wrong."
As the think tank of the village, the Nara clan knows a lot of things, including what kind of person Sarutobi Hiruzen is.
It is said to be the interests of the Council of Elders, but in fact the core is the Hokage.
Danzo has been in the darkness for too long and can no longer return to the sunlight, as for the other two elders... they can be ignored.
Power is something that is hard to let go of.
Unless the white-haired boy can gain an absolute advantage with a crushing momentum, he will not be able to inherit Konoha securely.
The Ino-Shika-Cho team will always follow the Hokage, and... the profit distribution plan given by the Hokage series.
So even if I knew which one was better, I wouldn't change it. Sorry.
In the Hyuga clan’s residence.
Hiashi and Hiashi are talking in a secret room.
According to Hizashi, Kakashi is indeed worth betting on, and he is very loyal and all positive words were used.
Rizu also trusted his younger brother's judgment very much, as he was still young and did not have the maturity he would have in the future.
However, the existence of the elders in the clan seriously affected the power and prestige of the clan leader, and at most he could express his admiration for Bloody Thunder in a private capacity.
After talking about business, let’s talk about some personal matters, or maybe it can be considered as the business of the clan.
"Hinata will be turning three soon. Bring Neji along then. We are a family."
The eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan has a special status and is very likely to be a candidate to become the next patriarch of the Hyuga clan.
As a thousand-year-old family, they have clear rituals to celebrate this day, especially the three-year-old celebration, which is a rule passed down from a long time ago.
Every time when talking about children, Riku's expression darkened. The identity of being separated from the family was like a mountain pressing down on the family affection, and was constantly crushing this relationship.
I know that I can’t blame my brother for this, but I still can’t get over the hurdle in my heart.
"Hizashi, if possible... is there a chance that Neji can become Kakashi's disciple?"
This is the method that Rizu came up with to make up for his brother. Bloody Thunder's character and strength are both excellent choices.
It makes sense that Uchiha first became Orochimaru's disciple, and later Hinata became Kakashi's disciple.
Although the Hyuga clan members formally worshipped the foreign teacher, which to some extent represented some supportive attitude, but Neji... was a branch family.
It can be said that this idea of the master of balancing is the best solution that Japan Football has come up with in recent days.
Hizashi was indeed tempted, and letting Neji learn from this strong man was a great achievement.
The identity of a branch family actually still has some use at this time. The only worry is whether Kakashi is willing to accept the child.
"Don't worry, I will personally visit Lord Kakashi on this matter, and I will be absolutely thorough in my courtesy."
When Rizu saw his brother's expression, he knew that doing this could indeed restore some family affection, so he became more serious.
The two of them parted with their own feelings.
When Hiashi returned home, he felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw the tattoo on his child's forehead.
Isn't the purpose of fighting on the battlefield to give Neji the chance to see higher scenery?
As for the idea of escaping from this birdcage, he has not thought about it yet, but after becoming Kakashi's disciple, he should not have to worry about the bird in the cage being triggered at will.
"Ningji, Dad has found a path for you. You must keep going no matter how difficult it is."
Other families were also discussing it, but not everyone was like Zhu Lu Die who could see the deep-seated crisis.
Kakashi is indeed the current celebrity in Konoha. From the outside, this strong man like the rising sun is a legitimate Hokage.
Master Hiruzen is a man of great strength and care for his subordinates, and he has expressed his appreciation for his disciple on many occasions.
Isn't this definitely a five-band goal? So there are quite a few people who have the same plan as Rizu.
Especially for a ninja who has fought on the front lines with Kakashi, who wouldn’t dream?
The most distressed one is Uchiha Fugaku.
During the day, he was still telling Itachi some of his life lessons, but who knew that the opponent would easily break through the dilemma.
What's even more embarrassing and annoying is that it wasn't until that evening that Fugaku realized that what Kakashi did might not just be a spontaneous act, but might be a means of achieving his goal.
In terms of political sensitivity, it is indeed quite weak.
It turned out that even without using force, the other party had the ability to compete with the village leaders with political wisdom, which made him very embarrassed.
In front of my son, I can only say things like "these eyes... see through..."
Fortunately, Itachi is also a child who doesn't like to laugh and has relatively few facial expressions, otherwise the clan leader would be very sad.
At night, Itachi was flipping through the book on the Will of Fire in his hand and missed his elder brother Shisui especially.
Perhaps if Shisui was here during the day, he could explain to him clearly the things that even the Sharingan couldn't see through.
My father...is not doing well.
Day 2 dawned.
Two young boys and girls from Konoha returned from the outside world and were allowed to leave only after strict registration.
Because of their special identities, they are two direct disciples of Lord Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas.
Hiruzen didn't say much after receiving the news. The relationship between him and Orochimaru was rather complicated.
He also believed that Orochimaru was a sensible man and would not allow his disciple to come back and cause trouble.
What is even more troublesome now is Kakashi and the envoys from the Land of Lightning.
After the two people returned to the village, the young man walked to the outskirts of the clan territory.
Looking at the round fan patterns everywhere, he shook his head.
"A country within a country~~~ It already has a way to die."
Chapter 41 The Village is Different
Konoha Village has become a little different.
This is Shisui's most direct view.
The buildings and streets that were destroyed during the Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox have been rebuilt, and the flow of people is less frequent than before.
It would be easiest to rebuild the streets and houses using the production capacity of the Ninja World, and all the people and shops in the new blocks would be replaced.
External changes are secondary; changes in people’s hearts are what are strange.
When he, Red Bean and the others left Konoha, it was not long after the Night of the Nine-Tails, the night that ended the Third War.
The village was in a mess at that time, and every household was immersed in sorrow.
But... there's not such an anxious atmosphere.
Now I feel that the whole village is like a raging beast.
From the gate-guarding ninjas to the villagers on the road, everyone was walking in a hurry, as if there were countless directions before them and they didn't know which way to go.
This meant that the villagers had lost their pride and their previous composure, and their ambition to be the best in the ninja world had been completely worn out.
Even at the end of the Third World War, when the Sand Village reached Mount Kikyo, the situation within the village had not yet deteriorated to its current state.
Sure enough, the battle of thunder and fire was draining Konoha's last few drops of blood.
Teacher Noah's speculation is correct, Konoha is now at a very special node.
It is a spiritual reconstruction, a hedge of power, and the last chance to save the Uchiha.
I don't know why I feel a little eager to try in the face of such a complicated situation.
In the Land of Rain, players of Shisui's level simply cannot make it to the stage, because this country faces new challenges every day.
The new system that suits the ninja world was polished out bit by bit, and Teacher Noah did not interfere in the specific affairs most of the time.
Instead, he watched the managers of the Akatsuki organization scratching their heads, jumping up and down, and even collapsing.
"There are no detours here, and pointing out the way forward is the greatest help."
"If even the Rain Country can't run this system online, then don't go and bring disaster to the Ninja Continent."
That resolute tone was not a joke; any help would be conditional and limited.
Shisui felt his scalp tingling after just observing a little bit, and he didn't dare to intervene at all.
But Konoha...is a perfect place for me to show off my skills.
Of course, I still need to remind the troublemakers around me again.
“Hongdou, Konoha is different now than the outside world, you must learn to be careful with your words and actions.
You are already a mature ninja, don't let Orochimaru down."
The little girl said, "Don't worry, I'm a mature ninja who has experienced big situations. Don't treat me like a brainless Genin."
Shisui remained noncommittal, and his performance along the way was not very convincing.
So he looked at each other a few seconds of silence, Hongdou couldn't bear it anymore.
She was really a little afraid of the look in this senior brother's eyes. The other party's illusion had reached the point where it was incomprehensible.
Maybe they were secretly placed under some kind of illusion restriction without knowing it. Those who like to learn from Teacher Noah are all monsters.
So I behaved myself and promised seriously for half a day before I was let go. On the way home, I was as happy as a husky that had run away from its leash.
Many passers-by saluted and thought that Kai's sister was born.
Shisui shook his head. This child...
Forget it. With Hongdou's strength and the things she has on her, she should be safe in the village.
I walked slowly home, continuing to observe carefully on the way.
It has been about two years since I left the village, and I still need to figure out the deeper changes in the village. Occasionally, I will chat with passers-by or go to crowded places to listen.
A handsome boy with a gentle temperament and not wearing a family crest would not arouse much vigilance.
"I feel so guilty that I want to slap myself..."
"I already smoked last night."
"Me too."
"I'm really not a human..."
