Chapter 248

"Then thank you, Hokage-sama." Nara Shikaku said, then sat down in front of Namikaze Minato and extended his hand to help.

This made Namikaze Minato even more uncomfortable.

Namikaze Minato very much adheres to the style of the previous Hokages. He has no airs and gets along directly with his own people in private.

But today, when Nara Shikaku entered the door, he spoke like a Hokage-sama. He was so polite even though there were no outsiders here, which made him feel very awkward.

Usually, when Nara Shikaku speaks like this, he will be followed by all kinds of complaints, but there is none today.

There must be something fishy today!

"Shikaku..." Namikaze Minato asked carefully, "What are you doing, something is not going well at work?"

"Hokage-sama." Nara Shikaku said with his ultimate move, "You mean, if there is no official business, I shouldn't appear here?"

"No, no, of course it's not." Namikaze Minato waved his hands quickly, fearing that his friends would misunderstand, but he couldn't say it directly, but it was killing him.

After all, he couldn't say--you usually start squirting early like this.

Seeing Namikaze Minato holding back his discomfort, Nara Shikaku felt very refreshed.

But he still knows where to go, after all, he has something to ask for.

Otherwise... stop at that? I'm sorry you are such a fishy monster!

"Actually, I have something to ask for today." Nara Shikaku said silently in his heart, "Impulse is the devil", resisted the desire to complain, and smiled again.

"Oh, Shikaku, tell me! Which one of us is fighting which one?" Minato Namikaze was excited.

Hahaha! In today's game, he doesn't need to be criticized!

"Actually, it's about my son." Nara Shikaku pretended not to notice his friend's arrogance and said, "You know, a lot of people must be looking for you recently."

"I understand, I understand." Upon hearing Shikaku's words, Namikaze Minato understood instantly.

Ever since Uchiha Shingen went to teach at the ninja school, the thing he heard the most was - I have a child.

Konoha Hidden Village is a village that mainly focuses on the inheritance of secret arts. Unlike blood inheritance, the importance of basic education becomes even higher.

Coming from a five-kage level ninja's basic education, having it and not having it are completely different things.

Uchiha Shingen is particularly special. He accomplished the feat of fighting against tailed beasts before he was twenty years old. Everyone knows how much his private lessons can add to children's abilities.

There is no parent who wouldn’t try their best to get a spot.

Unless this parent can be stronger than Uchiha Shingen at the same age, unfortunately, there is no such person in the current Konoha Hidden Village.

The Nara clan and the Uchiha clan are not close, and Nara Shikaku himself has no personal resources in the Uchiha clan that he can use, so he can only find Namikaze Minato to save the country.

"Shikaku, let me be honest with you, I'm not very sure about this matter." Namikaze Minato told the truth, "But I will recommend Shikamaru to Shingen."

Feeling that this was not strong enough, he added another sentence.

"I will push hard."

"Your words are enough." Nara Shikaku sighed.

There was certainly little hope for this. From Nara Shikaku himself, he did not expect Shikamaru to become a non-mainstream member of the Nara clan.

Uchiha Shingen's choice of students must be based on his personal relationship with his family, and he can't compete with either.

But being a parent, that’s it.

"Shikaku, actually Shingen is a very nice person. You guys usually hang out a lot." Namikaze Minato said.

Namikaze Minato sincerely hoped that Uchiha Shingen could have more personal relationships with Sarutobi.

This is also beneficial to the stability of the village.

"Shingen-kun is not an ordinary ninja now. It would be bad if the traces are too heavy. Let's not worry about it. Let's just look at the fate of our juniors."

Nara Shikaku smiled.

Ninja school not only trains ninjas, but also trains companions.

After school, it is not so easy to cultivate relationships.

The two sighed, and Nara Shikaku stood up to leave. Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door, and the sound was urgent.

Nara Shikaku opened the door and saw Uchiha Inari.

"Nara-sama."

"Are you... Inari?" Nara Shikaku was stunned, and then saw Uchiha Inari holding an information scroll.

Still from ANBU.

This thing is easy to recognize. It has special markings. Others may not be able to see it, but Nara Shikaku is too familiar with it.

He knew immediately that something big had happened.

"Inari, you go to the ninja school, please come with Mr. Shingen."

As he spoke, he quickly got out of the way.

Namikaze Minato also saw the scroll in Uchiha Inari's hand, and his expression changed.

The ANBU's recent actions all revolve around the Kingdom of Wind!

And Namikaze Minato saw blood stains on the information scroll!

Chapter 15: Konoha Hidden Village cannot live without the Sandaime

"What? Another meeting?" In the classroom, Uchiha Shingen, who was still holding chalk in his hand, looked at Uchiha Inari in front of him with dissatisfaction, "Is there anything wrong? I am a sacred teacher now."

Uchiha Inari laughed dryly.

There are all students here, so it’s hard for him to be too specific.

However, after knowing each other for many years, Uchiha Shingen saw something in his eyes.

Uchiha Shingen put the chalk back, clapped his hands, looked at a group of students with sparkling eyes in the classroom, and said: "Everyone has heard that today's class is here, and I won't give you any homework. , everyone goes home and digests it well, you know?"

"I know!" The student answered neatly and in a loud voice.

For the first time, they discovered that listening to theoretical classes could be so comfortable.

This is also the first time I know that there are so many paths in chakra.

As for the little guys who had already accepted Uchiha Shingen's teachings, they also had a good review. Uchiha Shingen taught them all before.

But when they studied for the second time, they still gained new gains based on their actual situation.

Some things that I didn’t understand at the time or even didn’t understand at all feel different now when I look back on them.

Even if you once thought you understood something, you may have a new understanding looking back on it.

"Well, for the rest of today's classes, I will talk to the teaching office and ask other teachers to teach you. Don't take advantage of it. You must listen carefully to every teacher who teaches you. Do you understand?"

"is teacher."

Seeing that the students were so motivated to study, Uchiha Shingen was very satisfied and felt a sense of accomplishment. After saying "get out of class is over", he and Uchiha Inari left the classroom.

"what happened?"

"Brother Shingen, something big must have happened. Today, I..."

Uchiha Inabi told the story again and added his own speculation.

"They actually attacked Konoha's ANBU?" Uchiha Shingen raised his eyebrows, "No matter who it is, it can't be justified without paying the price. You go back to the police department first and let everyone be more alert. I don't think it will happen in a war, but it might happen. There’s something else.”

"Okay, Brother Shingen." Uchiha Inato nodded in agreement and then left.

Uchiha Shingen went to the Hokage Building.

The teaching building is very close to the Hokage Building, and there is a dedicated passage from the Ninja School to the Hokage Building.

When walking into the corridor on the floor where the Hokage's office was located, Uchiha Shingen found that the atmosphere in the corridor was different today.

The office on this floor, in addition to the Hokage's room, is the office space for the Hokage's secretarial staff, but the atmosphere today is heavy, and everyone's face is tense.

It seems something happened.

The Hokage Building has not seen this kind of atmosphere for a long time.

In the six years since peace was achieved, Konohagakure has been developing at an excellent pace. Kumogakure has become more honest, Konoha has Iwagakure and Kirigakure to offer support, and Sunagakure continues to be exploited. The internal and external environment of Konohagakure is changing. Everything has become relaxed, and relaxation has become the theme of this floor.

After all, as long as the opponent is not a great ninja village, there will be no problem for the Hidden Leaf Village.

Two Konoha ninjas opened the door to the Hokage's office for Uchiha Shingen.

Uchiha Shingen walked in and saw Minato Namikaze at his desk, looking at a piece of information and thinking about it.

Nara Shikaku stood next to Namikaze Minato, his eyes also fell on the information on the table.

After Uchiha Shingen came in, the two of them looked away from the information.

"Shingen, you're here." Namikaze Minato said, "There's something going on over there with Sunagakure."

"Are they going to rebel?" Uchiha Shingen asked.

There was no way, he was so impressed with Sunagakure...no, Konoha's collapse plan that he couldn't erase it even after two weeks.

This plan is not funny at all. Sunagakure in the original time and space was not having a good time, and Konoha was not very comfortable - this was a well-planned raid launched by a large ninja village. Not only did Konoha Hidden Village lose a Hokage, but also As a result, nearly half of the ninja force was lost.

Since both sides were seriously injured, after the Fifth Hokage Tsunade extended an olive branch, Sunagakure responded immediately and established a true military alliance with Konoha to resist the wolves, tigers and leopards from the outside world.

Sunagakure was able to resist Iwagakure, and Konoha also had the confidence to prevent Kumogakure from engaging in military blackmail again or even actually going south.

But that was the original time and space. In this time and space, at this time, Sunagakure was simply being exploited by Konoha, and it was not surprising to have any thoughts.

"That's not true, but someone in Sunagakure did attack our ANBU." Namikaze Minato said, "According to our intelligence, Sunagakure has secretly joined forces with Kumogakure."

"Has an alliance been established?" Uchiha Shingen only cared about this. "Is it the Sun ninja or the Kumo ninja who attacked the ANBU?"

Once an alliance is established, it will be a long-term and stable state.

Whoever attacks the ANBU has different meanings.

"There is no alliance, but Sunagakure and Kumogakure have a common goal." Minato Namikaze knocked on the intelligence documents on the table, "The choice is good, it's Iwagakure."

Uchiha Shingen was stunned.

When it comes to Sunagakure, he always subconsciously thinks that the target will be Konoha.

I forgot that Sunagakure and Iwagakure are the old ones.

The relationship between the five ninja villages is complicated, but there are a few ironclad connections.

Sunagakure and Iwagakure.

Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

Kumogakure and Konoha.

It can be called the three strongest men in the ninja world.

The kind that breaks your head and bleeds.

After coming back to his senses and thinking about it again, Uchiha Shingen also felt that Iwagakure was not so much chosen as the only option.

The combination of Sunagakure and Kumogakure is a perfect north-south echo.

They can attack Konoha or Iwagakure at the same time, but it is not convenient to attack Kirigakure, because if Sunagakure wants to attack Kirigakure, he has to bypass the Country of Fire and take the route of the Country of Tea.

But it would not be appropriate to attack Konoha Hidden Village, because Kirigakure and Konoha have a very close relationship, and they are very close. At the same time, Sunagakure himself is also an ally of Konoha. Even if it is a fake one, there is not enough reason for Sunagakure to do so. Yin cannot betray his alliance casually.

The cost of breaking an alliance is very high.

The current Sunagakure is not forced into a desperate situation by Konoha like the original time and space.

But in fighting Iwagakure, Konoha must not intervene first. Iwagakure is Konoha's ally, but Sunagakure is also an ally. Konoha cannot help Iwagakure to defeat Sunagakure. It doesn't make sense.

The covenant between the two has become Sunagakure's protective talisman at this time, allowing it to fight Iwagakure without any worries.

As for Kumogakure, after the debt is paid off, there is indeed no obstacle.

But in the past few years, the relationship between Iwagakure and Konoha has been very delicate.

Otherwise, can Sunagakure and Kumogakure unite?

"Who proposed this alliance?" Uchiha Shingen asked.

He first suspected Yunyin.

Facts have proved that he was right.
