Chapter 414 Crossroads

Hearing his father's perfunctory words, Nara Shikamaru said with some dissatisfaction: "I'm already a Chunin, not a child anymore."

"Chunin?" Nara Shikahisa smiled and said, "When you can take over my class one day, you will understand!"

After speaking, he stood up and walked into the back room, leaving Shikamaru sulking alone.

『There are some things that I hope can end in our generation, rather than leaving troubles to the next generation! 』

The three families of Inokacho, who share weal and woe, were once a staunch supporter of the third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi. As Sarutobi Hiruzen took the position of Hokage firmly, the three families also gained unexpected benefits.

The Nara family monopolizes most of the medicinal materials business in the entire village, and owns a large area of ​​medicinal gardens and nurseries. The benefits they reap every day are astronomical, which brings inexhaustible benefits to the family's welfare and the education of the next generation. H.

Although with Ikacho's strength, even if Hiruza Sarutobi did not become Hokage in the end, there would not be too much loss, but seeing the families that were once prosperous for a while slowly decline, or even disappear, this kind of hesitation The feeling of being helpless will always make people feel more and more insecure day by day.

After the Uchiha family disappeared from Konoha Village, very few adult children of the family occupied important positions in the village. Even if there were a few amazing and talented people, they stayed at home early and only waited until Hokage ordered them to return to work. Put on the battle robe and take up arms to fight for the village and for the family. I usually just maintain law and order and do trivial things. I spend more time drinking than doing tasks.

The balance point between the family and the village has never been clearly defined. Many large and small families neither interfere in the distribution of Konoha rights nor participate in the competition for the position of Hokage. Anyway, whoever becomes Hokage supports whoever becomes Hokage. For Hokage's disciples and their companions, they support but do not flatter them, and if there is nothing wrong, they mostly keep a respectful and distant attitude.

There are also more and more powerful civilian ninja forces, as well as the support of some declining ninjas, which has caused the power of the big families to continue to decline. Coupled with the vague suppression of the hard-line militant faction headed by Danzo, these families The pressure on the children is also increasing day by day.

"Maybe the ninja family will integrate into the village one day. We can disappear, but we must not be wiped out!" 』

Thinking of this, Nara Shikahisa also recalled the insolent remarks of that rebellious silver-haired ninja.

"Are you young and vigorous?" It's really enviable that a strong man without the burden of the family can be more unscrupulous! 』

Regarding the reconstruction of the Ministry of Security this time, Shikahisa Nara, who was hand-picked as the minister, understood that this was a good opportunity. Not only is it a major move to unify the forces of all parties and increase the voice of the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, but it is also an attempt by Tsunade to bridge the relationship between all parties and weaken the rights of the elders of the ancestors. If it goes well, it may make the village smoother.

...

In the country of Nami, a silver-haired man about thirty years old was walking along the streets of a small village with a sixteen-year-old boy with shoulder-length black hair. Since the completion of the magnificent Naruto Bridge, the originally lifeless Nami Country has gradually gained some popularity. The convenient transportation, coupled with the superior geographical location, has gradually made the Nami Country a place for business travellers. great place.

It has been half a year since Mizuki came here last time, and Mizuki was also a little surprised to see a scene that was completely different from what he remembered.

As for the scene where Yukimura saw so many people for the first time, he looked at everything around him more curiously. It's completely different from staying underground, even the sun in the sky can surprise him for a long time, if Mizuki didn't stop him, maybe the frail Yukimura would have been blinded by the sunlight.

"Mizuki, are these all for food?"

"Yes."

When staying underground, always choose some non-perishable and easy-to-preserve food, which is naturally not delicious. But here, Yukimura's stomach is completely conquered by the dazzling array of snacks, and he wants to taste everything he encounters.

While the two were strolling around, a clear and crisp child's voice came from the side.

"Brother Sasuke?"

Mizuki looked back and saw a little boy in a blue and white striped hat standing not far away, and Yukimura also turned his head when he heard the voice.

This little boy is none other than Inari, the grandson of the master bridge builder Dazna. Next to him is his mother, Tsunami, who is holding the freshly bought vegetables in the other hand, and seems to be preparing to go home. .

"Brother Sasuke?" Yukimura pointed to his face and asked strangely, "Are you calling me? My name is not Brother Sasuke, but my name is Yukimura!"

"Wrong person!" Inari shook his head in disappointment. The boy in front of him was obviously about three years older than the Uchiha Sasuke he had seen, and his hairstyle and temperament were far different. Originally thought that seeing Sasuke, Naruto might be there, but I didn't expect Sora to be happy.

On one side, Tsunami bowed slightly and apologized: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you two."

"do not worry about it."

Mizuki shook his head, and pulled the curious Yukimura away from here.

"Hey, Mizuki, who is brother Sasuke? Does he look like me, just like you and other Mizuki?"

"What?" Mizuki gave his head in embarrassment, unexpectedly, he came out for a walk, and there was such a small episode, "Brother is the name of a boy who is older than himself, and Sasuke is a person's name."

"As for your relationship with Sasuke, it's somewhat similar to me and other Mizuki, but it's not exactly the same! There is still a big difference between you and Sasuke!"

With Yukimura's current comprehension ability, it is impossible to figure out the relationship, and Mizuki can only be vague.

"I see, I really want to see this Sasuke!"

"I will let you meet him later..."

"That's good." Yukimura smiled innocently, and in the blink of an eye, he was attracted by the delicious food in his hand.

...

In Konoha Village, Tsunade walked into the super-large database that can only be entered with the permission of Hokage. Next to a desk surrounded by a large bookcase, a female ninja with black curly hair and red eyes was looking at the pile of books on the table in front of her. Lao Gao's information, with a concentrated attitude, didn't wake up until Tsunade approached.

"Master Tsunade."

The female ninja stood up and saluted quickly.

Tsunade nodded and asked: "Hong, how is it? Did you gain anything?"

The originally red eyeballs were even more bloodshot due to excessive use of the eyes. Xi Hihong shook her head regretfully: "There is no similar record, it seems that the technique is even weirder than imagined!"
