Chapter 552: Hokage - Bodyguard Interview 1

When Gojo Aiko and the others started shopping for local specialties in Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately and smoothly sent a few tour guides over and gave them a lot of things for free as gifts.

These gifts were varied, including food, drinks, and daily necessities, and even weapons, but it was just an ordinary kunai without any carvings or logos, and its symbolic significance was greater than its practical significance.

Aiko Gojo picked up the box of deer antlers, looked at Nara Shikaku standing in front of her, and then looked at the deer antlers again.

I heard that the Nara family raises deer, so this is more of a specialty of the Nara family than a specialty of Konoha, right? Although the Nara family is now a member of Konoha, I always feel that their integration is very fragmented.

After all, Konoha was established not long ago, and the people in the village basically still retain the distinctive characteristics of their respective families. Moreover, most of the well-known families even have their own separate family territories, and the families are actually relatively independent of each other.

And in fact, Konoha is still controlled by these ninja families, because most of these families have ninjutsu passed down through their bloodline, which is the "bloodline limit", which is innate and others cannot learn it, and there is no way to learn it.

Ninjas have always respected the strong, so in such an environment, civilian ninjas can only stand out unless they have extraordinary talents like Minato Namikaze. Otherwise, they can only be cannon fodder on the battlefield and invisible in daily life.

It's a pity that Minato Namikaze did not live long, otherwise under the rule of a Hokage who came from a commoner background, Konoha should have changed. Young rulers can generally make a country younger. In addition, he had no family background and in a sense had no foundation, so he had to cultivate his own power. Cultivating commoner ninjas who had no background like him was the best solution.

Although Konoha is indeed a little small and cannot even be considered a country, Gojo Aiko always feels that the model of the ninja village is too petty and that a ninja country should be established. However, she is not from this world, so it is just an idea and it has nothing to do with her after all.

Moreover, the ninjas themselves did not seem to realize that they should break away from the control of the daimyo and become independent. They have become accustomed to a mercenary lifestyle. It is very difficult to get them to break through. They are used to fighting and killing. If you ask them to calm down and study farming, raising chickens, ducks and pigs, and learn how to do business and become businessmen, they may be very resistant.

Moreover, the ninja world is now lacking a strong person who can command the support of everyone and suppress everyone, so that the idea of ​​​​the Ninja Country can be realized.

But this is too difficult. After all, although many ninjas are powerful, their brains are not very smart. They are a bit like the type of people who have strong limbs but simple minds.

However, being a manager of a country requires more than brute force. Although there can be assistance from a second-in-command or something like that, that is ultimately not enough. If one cannot see clearly the current situation and people's hearts, and relies on the analysis of his subordinates and the so-called think tank, then this leader is not much different from a puppet.

Moreover, people’s hearts are fickle, so who can guarantee that others will not betray you? So in the end, it is better to be strong and smart by yourself, and then recruit some smarter subordinates, and the two sides work together, letting your subordinates do small things, and you take the lead in making decisions on big things. This is a true leader.

Gojo Aiko felt a little sorry in her heart, but it had nothing to do with her. She just needed to make sure Naruto would not become a consumable that was forced to be sacrificed in the sick society of the ninja world.

So first of all, Naruto must go to school! Only when you are strong can you be truly strong. You must let Naruto go to school and broaden his horizons! Let him know that this world is not limited to Konoha Village, nor is it limited to the word "ninja". There are still many things he can do!

Ninja schools basically focus on teaching ninjutsu, although they also teach basic cultural knowledge. After all, learning ninjutsu also requires a certain cultural knowledge foundation. But it is basically only at the junior high school level, and the cultural level is far from that of high school, not to mention university. There is no such thing as university in the ninja world.

Of course, graduating from the Ninja School does not mean that you cannot study anymore. You can still learn on your own. However, many people cannot absorb the knowledge into their brains even with the guidance of teachers and the learning atmosphere in school. It would be too difficult for them to learn on their own.

Moreover, every person is different. There are indeed people in this world who do not like to study but have strong comprehension abilities. There are also people who can teach themselves just by taking a quick look.

Those who can teach themselves often do not need a teacher, but most people are just ordinary people, so they naturally look at Naruto by ordinary people's standards.

If Naruto shows his talent during the learning process, then they will naturally adjust the teaching methods, focusing on his talents and interests, and slowly train him in a targeted manner.

If he is just an ordinary person, he should learn something he likes and be able to make money to support himself when he grows up.

Uzumaki Kushina claims to be a poor student, but she is a ninja of the Uzumaki clan, so she is still very strong. She just doesn't like going to school very much. She is one of those characters who ranks last in the class.

If Naruto was like Uzumaki Kushina, he might also dislike going to school... Because from what we can see now, although Naruto looks like Namikaze Minato, his hair color and eye color are like Namikaze Minato, and if you remove the beard-like lines on his face, Naruto looks exactly like his father, but his personality is more like his mother Uzumaki Kushina.

But it doesn’t matter, there are many people here who can be teachers and provide one-on-one teaching, tailor-made teaching methods suitable for Naruto, and guarantee that you will learn it!

It doesn’t matter if you really can’t learn it. Your parents will back you up and at least you won’t become a loser.

However, most of them still tend to believe that Naruto's talent must be very strong. After all, his parents are very powerful. At worst, there is a tailed beast sealed in his body. If he really has nothing else to show off, he might as well kill the tailed beast. Maybe he can figure out a way to use the tailed beast to fight in his lifetime?

Gojo Aiko accepted all the gifts sent by Konoha, and together with the souvenirs and local specialties they bought themselves, her shopping in Konoha was over.

Next, we have to get down to business.

Because there wasn't actually much to see in Konoha. They had already roughly visited the Konoha Village yesterday. Both sides tacitly agreed not to mention further visits. After all, that involved more confidential areas.

Moreover, Aiko Gojo discovered that many of Konoha Village's public facilities were not perfect. Apart from basic housing, most of Konoha Village's resources seemed to be used to build training grounds.

Moreover, Konoha's medical facilities were surprisingly weak, which puzzled her. Logically, ninjas should be easily injured, so they should vigorously develop medicine so as to save the lives of their companions as much as possible.

However, considering that Konoha can't even grow its own food, it seems understandable that they have no conditions to develop medicine.

So although generally speaking a visit must include not only a superficial visit but also some more in-depth visits, such as visiting schools, major industries, etc., Gojo Aiko feels that there may not be much to visit in Konoha Village.

There are some more confidential places that they cannot visit, so if that's the case, then forget it and just go shopping in Konoha Village.

So they decided to speed up the process. They couldn't stay in Konoha Village for long. After dealing with Naruto's affairs, they prepared to run away.

Although Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato are also powerful ninjas, they have been trapped in the identity of ninjas their entire lives. They can take this opportunity to see the world, see what is happening outside of war, and take a look at the world of ordinary people.

You can also secretly bring Naruto along through Meteor Garden, so that he can see the world and broaden his horizons.

It's a pity that Naruto has to go to school most of the time, and they only have the chance to go out together at night and during holidays. However, he has not yet officially started learning ninjutsu, and is still in kindergarten, so his academic workload is not heavy.

Since they came to Konoha under the pretext of hiring bodyguards, they naturally had to start interviewing the bodyguards now.

Of course, Gojo Aiko couldn't just let Konoha arrange bodyguards for her. They had to interview them one by one.

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have thought it through long ago and immediately took out a list. There were about 10 ninjas on the list, most of whom were at the Chunin level or above, and were considered to be ninjas with very good strength. These were the 10 people he had finally gathered together. After all, most of them could not normally eat salty food, and either had their own jobs or were out on missions. It really took him a lot of effort to get these 10 people together.

This list is somewhat like a resume. It not only contains the names and photos of the ninjas, but also the number of tasks they have completed in the past, the degree of completion of the tasks, etc.

However, Gojo Aiko estimated that these tasks were all tasks that could be discussed openly. Some tasks that could not be discussed secretly would naturally not be written on them, so the reference value was actually not very great. Those who could join the ranks of bodyguards were definitely not weaklings. Just looking at the completion of these past tasks, it was impossible to analyze who was stronger and who was weaker.

She took a quick glance and found that most of these ninjas were wearing masks or face shields, but it didn't matter. As long as they looked pleasing to the eye, it didn't matter whether their faces were covered or not.

"This is Hatake Kakashi, and this one..." Gojo Aiko named several people. How did she choose these people? Of course, she chose the one with the most interesting name or the one who looks the most outstanding!
