Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little tired.
When it comes to external affairs, Akihara Kagura's ideas are often very extreme. As long as the problem can be solved by killing, he will never think about the second option.
For example, a document that Sarutobi Hiruzen casually pulled out: "Takumi Ninja Village wants to increase the price of ninja tools to Konoha, and needs to send people to negotiate..."
"Kill anyone who wants to raise prices."
Akihara Kagura's ideas are very practical.
For example, Sarutobi Hiruzen once again pulled out another document: "There is a conflict between the Kingdom of Taki and the Kingdom of Frost. I hope we can help mediate..."
"Destroy these two villages and annex their lands."
Akihara Kagura's thoughts are all for the benefit of Konoha.
After hearing how Akihara Kagura dealt with it, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only smoke hard.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen is asked to evaluate Akihara Kagura, this child is actually quite suitable for the root, but is actually not very suitable for becoming a Hokage...
but…
This is not possible!
No matter which Hokage you are, if you see a talent like Akihara Kagura, you cannot waste it. You must find a way to train this child to become the next Hokage!
Sarutobi Hiruzen finished smoking a pack of cigarettes and began to handle official business in front of Akihara Kagura, teaching him how to do what he just did.
"First, let's deal with Mizukage-dono's problem."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Akihara Kagura and educated him gently: "We must first send ANBU to escort the Fourth Mizukage-dono back to Kirigakure Village, and then make a request to Mizukage-dono, hoping that the Hokage can visit Kirigakure Village. , to prevent him from thinking that he is a hostage..."
This is just a verbal subterfuge.
In fact, it was impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to leave Konoha rashly and visit another ninja village under any circumstances. In the future, such an agreement to visit could be canceled at any time for any reason.
"Isn't he a hostage?"
Akihara Kagura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and even used the person involved to explain: "The Fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura is very aware of being a hostage, otherwise I will bring him here and question him..."
"But we can't treat him as a hostage..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen hoped that this child would understand what he meant: "If you were sent to Kirigakure Village and lived in Kirigakure Village for two years..."
"well enough?"
Akihara Kagura thought for a while and replied: "If the people in Kirigakure Village make me unhappy, I can just destroy Kirigakure Village..."
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took his pipe in his mouth again, blew out a thick smoke ring, rang the bell to summon a group of ANBU, and directly ordered them to do as he asked.
This must be done as soon as possible.
After all, the conflict between the top management of Konoha and the Uchiha is getting more and more serious. Sending the Fourth Mizukage Goju Yagura away as soon as possible can also avoid problems with the three-tailed Jinchuuriki.
Goji Yagura has lived in Konoha for a long time.
During this period of time, the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure Village had greatly eased, and the caravan trade between the entire Fire Country and Water Country continued, so there was no need to keep him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen issued another order to send envoys to the Takumi Ninja Village for negotiations, hoping that the Takumi Ninja Village could continue to guarantee the original price. Otherwise, Konoha would reduce the purchase of ninja tools year by year, and the Ninja Village of the Great Powers would not be able to do so during non-war periods. Requires too many ninja tools.
Other than that.
There is also about the conflict between the Kingdom of Taki and the Kingdom of Frost.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sent a team of ninjas to investigate the conflict and invited the leaders of the two villages to come to Konoha, pretending that the matter would be mediated by Konoha.
Akihara Kagura's suggestion is a good one.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't use any of them.
As long as one proposal is adopted, Konoha will lose all previous achievements; if two proposals are adopted, the war will begin; if three proposals are adopted, the Fourth Ninja War will break out.
Konoha has a lot of things that the Hokage needs to deal with.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not handle this alone.
"If you don't have any ideas in the future, or your ideas are too single..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen solved a few things first, and then continued to teach Akihara Kagura: "You can also discuss with other people, and you can ask other people's opinions. One person's decision will inevitably make mistakes after all..."
It happened to be at this time.
Hokage Assistant Shimura Danzo and two Hokage advisors came to the Hokage's office to assist him in handling official duties and hold meetings to discuss certain important matters.
"introduce."
Sarutobi Hiruzen pointed to Akihara Kagura beside him, and took the initiative to introduce his new identity: "Kagura is my new guard and assistant."
"Would you choose this person..."
After turning to bed, Koharu's eyes narrowed, he looked at Akihara Kagura and nodded: "He is a suitable candidate, but isn't he too young?"
"It's indeed a little smaller."
Mito Menyan adjusted his glasses and continued: "I remember this child is only thirteen years old. It will be almost okay when he is thirty years old..."
"I don't think it's appropriate."
Shimura Danzo saw Akihara Kagura next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and his face immediately turned ugly: "Monkey, I have mentioned it to you a long time ago..."
"Kagura."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Akihara Kagura. He didn't want his argument with Shimura Danzo to be overheard by Akihara Kagura, so he ordered: "I'll give you half a day off in the morning, go and have some rest."
"yes."
When Akihara Kagura passed by, she took a special look at Shimura Danzo, with a look of confusion in her eyes, as if she was curious about why this boss was hostile to him.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time he and Danzo Shimura met after the incident between Kabuto Yakushi and Nonou Yakushi.
After Akihara Kagura closed the door, a quarrel broke out in the Hokage's office. The voices of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were louder than the other!
"I will never agree to Akihara Kagura becoming a candidate for Hokage!"
"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"
"Sarutobi, you will regret it!"
"If you hadn't taught this child too much, I wouldn't have brought him around to train him at his age!"
"That kid himself is very extreme! He is a pure liar! He is a scheming guy! He deceived me about the pharmacist Nonoyu!"
"That's what you did wrong! A child in an orphanage is willing to rescue the director of the orphanage. This should be something worthy of praise!"
"..."
Danzo Shimura was speechless for a moment.
It was he who first mentioned the identity of this orphanage child to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and it was he who placed it on Akihara Kagura...
Do you want him to tell the truth? Akihara Kagura was brought over by him from Orochimaru. He also colluded with Orochimaru. Akihara Kagura, who was born in an orphanage, has been deceiving him, making him think that Akihara Kagura was not born in an orphanage. ?
"monkey!"
Shimura Danzo stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said solemnly: "One day, you will know that everything I do is for Konoha!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was nonchalant and glanced at Shimura Danzo: "Then please help the future Hokage in the village for the sake of Konoha!"
"Stop making noise."
After going to bed, Koharu quickly interrupted them and changed the topic: "Let's discuss the issue of the Uchiha clan first. Has Uchiha Itachi not sent the information over there yet?"
"It will be delivered tonight."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood relaxed and he said in a deep voice: "However, there is no need to worry about them rebelling now. Although Jiraiya may leave the village, I and Kagura are strong enough to deal with the possible Mangekyou." Sharingan."
The Uchiha clan's Mangekyou Sharingan is too weird, and there is even Uchiha Obito's nearly invincible time and space pupil technique.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is older and cannot guarantee that he can defeat the Mangekyou Sharingan, but coupled with Akihara Kagura's Wood Release, he thinks it is enough to suppress the Uchiha clan.
Shimura Danzo did not refute this matter, nodded and said: "Now that we have the power, let's eliminate the group of guys who want to rebel as soon as possible..."
to be honest.
No one here wanted the destruction of the Uchiha more than Danzo Shimura.
Danzo Shimura finally got Uchiha Shisui's eyes, but unexpectedly they were taken away by Uchiha Obito in an instant. He also wanted to get Sharingan to supplement his missing eyes, and he also wanted to get more Sharingan as Yi Consumables for Xanagi.
"No."
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately had an opposite opinion to Danzo Shimura: "Now that we have enough power to prevent the Uchiha clan from rebelling, we need to tell them about this as soon as possible to make them realize that there is only peace. That’s the only way out…”
"It was only a brief period of peace..."
The attitudes of Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi were once again at odds.
"As long as there is time for peace, everything can slowly change in the future. The use of violence to solve the Uchiha clan is only weakening Konoha's power..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very dissatisfied with Danzo's extreme handling of the will village, and even began to blame him: "Duanzo, you are too selfish, you want to hide the wood escape for your own use, and you are unwilling to use Akihara Kagura was sent to a ninja school to make his ideas too extreme!"
"Akihara Kagura should never have become Hokage!"
Danzo Shimura was absolutely furious at Hiruzen Sarutobi's accusation. He took on a lot of blame when he was in the genjutsu world two years ago, and he would continue to take the blame when he returned to the real world.
Who would be happy with this?
"Don't mention this again."
After going to bed, Koharu quickly interrupted the argument between the two of them and said: "Akihara Kagura is too young after all. The matter of letting him succeed as Hokage can be postponed, but the threat from the Uchiha clan is imminent and must be resolved as soon as possible!"
"Let's wait for Itachi to send the information first."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat back in his chair and calmed down: "Tonight, the Uchiha clan will hold a clan meeting again."
"Then take care of business first."
Mito Menyan quickly tried to smooth things over.
Konoha Hospital.
Kabuto Yakushi sat in his office and rested.
Just at this moment, he suddenly noticed a change in the shadow on the ground. The shadow actually moved to an open space.
"This is…"
Before Kabuto Yakushi could react, a dark figure emerged from the shadow, and that figure slowly turned into the appearance of Akihara Kagura.
Yakushi Kabuto's heart trembled. Seeing this terrifying appearance, he couldn't help but push up his glasses: "What kind of technique is this?"
"A little trick about shadow."
Akihara Kagura sat on the table and didn't mention much.
[Light and Shadow] The first time he used this feature, Akihara Kagura felt it was very useful. He could freely shuttle in the shadows.
"Congratulations on becoming a Jonin."
Yakushi Kabuto didn't ask too much, and after congratulating himself softly, he continued: "The village just announced this matter yesterday. I was still wondering when you returned to the village, and I planned to find an opportunity to find you. I didn't expect you to come here now. …”
"I'm going to have a falling out with Orochimaru."
Akihara Kagura's words made Kabuto Yakushi's expression change drastically.
Kabuto Yakushi quickly lowered his head and began to think sharply about how much trouble they would cause after they fell out with Orochimaru: "Are Dean Noonoyu and I ready to defect? Orochimaru is unlikely to let him go. us…"
"No need for it, Dean Nonoyu."
Akihara Kagura shook her head and said softly: "No matter whether I was a child of Konoha Orphanage before or not, from today on, I will be regarded as a child of a fake orphanage who came here just to seize the position of Konoha Hokage." Deliberately pretending..."
"..."
Kabuto Yakushi fell silent.
At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi didn't even know how to answer.
What's the point of this?
Akihara Kagura has done so much for him and Yakushi Nonou, they finally reunited, but now they are separated again?
"Orochimaru wants to threaten you and Dean Noonoyu?"
Yakushi Kabuto could only sit in his chair and thought seriously: "Why do you want to part ways with Orochimaru? Because he wants to invade your body?"
"you know too?"
"certainly."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded and continued: "I formed a team with Red Copper Kai, Kenmeicheng, and the main task was to participate in the Chunin Exam and help Orochimaru discover some geniuses. I originally thought he wanted to strengthen himself. Strength, I didn’t expect him to tell me very straightforwardly that he needs some geniuses as backup containers..."
"Do you think I should give myself to him?"
Akihara Kagura looked at Yakushi Kabuto and said softly: "As long as you let him invade my body, Orochimaru will not make things difficult for you anymore."
"..."
Kabuto Yakushi quickly shook his head and whispered: "It is impossible for the dean to agree. She has already blamed herself for the past. You have sacrificed a lot for us. I will arrange for the dean to hide as soon as possible..."
"It's up to you."
Akihara Kagura looked at Yakushi Kabuto and directly handed the task to him: "Let Orochimaru think that I am not a child in the orphanage, let him think that I am a scheming person, let him know that I don't care about you and Yakushi Nonou at all. Dean's life and death made him understand that I will not give up my body for you and Dean Nonoyu..."
"It's difficult."
Kabuto Yakushi frowned tightly, reached out to take off his glasses, and gently wiped the water mist on the lenses: "Back then, for me and Dean Nonou, you risked your own life to become Orochimaru's undercover agent. After entering Danzo's command, Orochimaru cannot be easily trusted..."
"especially…"
"It's at this point in time."
"Orochimaru will definitely suspect this is a conspiracy."
Kabuto Yakushi put on his glasses again and looked at Akihara Kagura sitting on his desk: "Unless one of me or Dean Noonoyu dies in your hands."
"I…"
"Dean Nonoyu..."
"Someone has to sacrifice himself."
"Only in this way will Orochimaru believe that there is no bond between us, or even hatred, so that at least one person can survive."
Kabuto Yakushi still had some words he didn't say.
In fact, one of the three people must sacrifice himself; either Akihara Kagura sacrifices, so that he and Dean Nonou can survive; or he and Dean Nonou sacrifice one person...
However…
Kabuto Yakushi understood.
No matter what, Akihara Kagura cannot be sacrificed.
While Kabuto Yakushi was struggling mentally, thinking about when Dean Yakushi Nonou and himself would choose to sacrifice, Akihara Kagura's face dropped.
"It's so troublesome...why do people still need to die?"
Akihara Kagura casually picked up the pear on Yakushi Kabuto's desk and took a bite of the pear: "We can't die, otherwise I will take the time to kill Orochimaru! He is not my opponent anyway..."
"etc…"
Kabuto Yakushi's mood suddenly trembled, and he felt that his emotional changes were a bit strange: "You just said that you can kill Orochimaru?"
"He is no match for me."
"Then why not kill him?"
"Because he is still useful and he has mastered many useful forbidden techniques. This person needs to be killed several times."
"Well, I thought..."
"Why?"
"nothing."
Kabuto Yakushi felt a little relaxed.
This guy Akihara Kagura shouldn't lie to him about this kind of thing, right?
However…
There is a precedent for this guy secretly sacrificing himself!
Kabuto Yakushi was really worried about Akihara Kagura sacrificing himself, so he whispered: "I will find a way to go undercover to Orochimaru, see if I can steal his knowledge, and monitor his actions..."
"also."
"Actually, I probably don't need to be in such a hurry."
Akihara Kagura finished eating the pear, took out a piece of paper and wiped the pear juice from the corner of her mouth, and showed a strange smile: "There will be something big happening in Konoha recently. Maybe after a few days, Orochimaru will have something new." If your goal is to stop staring at my body?”
"but…"
"We always have to be prepared."
"yes…"
Yakushi Kabuto nodded, and a bright light flashed through his lenses under the sunlight shining from the window: "We all want to sacrifice ourselves, but after all the hard work, we finally survived. We must live a good life. Can’t live without less…”
Second update!
I got another py
