Naruto's Best Actor

Chapter 22 Recommendations

Leaf Village.

Namikaze Minato may be the youngest and most handsome Hokage in the history of Fire Country, but he is not a mature politician.

For Game of Thrones, he is far less cunning than old foxes like the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.

Because he led Konoha Village to victory in three battles, Feng Hao Minato was regarded as a hero by the villagers of Konoha Village.Coupled with his handsome appearance, he is still very popular among civilian ninjas.

However, although Namikaze Minato has great prestige, he does not have the right to match this prestige.In the daily administration of Konoha Village, the Fourth Hokage was particularly influenced by the three advisors including Shimura Danzo.

Of course, Minato didn't feel dissatisfied at all about all this, but instead asked for advice attentively.

At this moment, in the conference room of the Hokage Building, Namikaze Minato invited all three advisors over.

"Hokage-sama, why did you call us all here?"

The third consultant walked into the conference room. As soon as he sat down, Xiaochun asked as he turned to bed.

"It's like this, senior transfer. Over the past few days, the ANBU has collected some intelligence one after another. It shows that the Sannin villages of the Kingdom of Wind, Kingdom of Earth and Kingdom of Thunder have a tendency to form an alliance, and the Kingdom of Water Kirigakure's attitude is ambiguous. Regarding this matter, I would like to ask three seniors for advice."

Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who had gone to bed, looked at each other and asked, "Has the Hokage asked the Third Generation about this matter?"

Minato nodded and said, "I have already asked the third generation, and he said that I should consult the advisory group first."

"Then what does Hokage-sama mean?"

"In my opinion, the alliance between these three ninja villages is naturally detrimental to our Konoha. However, I have just taken office not long ago and I don't know much about international affairs. Therefore, I would like to ask some seniors for their opinions on how to destroy these three ninja villages. An alliance of interests between Shinobu villages"

With a gentle smile, easy-going temper, and outstanding talents, I have to say that Namikaze Minato is a good Hokage.But it was also like this that made Danzo Shimura very unhappy.

Because, no matter how good Namikaze Minato is, he is still Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, not his.

Shimura Danzo has been competing with Sarutobi Hiruzen all his life, starting from learning under the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama, to later competing for the position of Hokage, and then to the choice of the future development of the village.

The choices of the two people were never the same, but Shimura Danzo always lost.Sarutobi Hiruzen has always lived in the light, but he can only hide in the shadows.

Even now, all of Sarutobi Hiruzen's apprentices and grandsons are famous figures in the ninja world.But he was nothing.

When Koharu went to bed, she was about to speak, but Danzo Shimura interrupted her in advance, with a very stiff tone.

"The entanglements between the various ninja villages are not that simple. They are the blood feud left behind by the decades of fighting between the villages since the implementation of the one-country-one-village system. After three battles, we, Konoha, won alone. It is indeed a feasible strategy for these villages to unite, but it is not that simple. The benefits are enough for them to unite, but it can also make them fall out. All it takes is a little bit of means."

"means"

Seeing Namikaze Minato looking at him with inquiring eyes, that kind of humbly asking for advice, Shimura Danzo couldn't help but snort slightly.

"As a Hokage, you don't just need to win on the battlefield. The game after the battlefield is sometimes more dangerous."

"That's what Danzo-senpai said."

Namikaze Minato said very carefully.

"Compared to the Country of Fire, the Country of Earth and the Country of Wind are both quite poor. A large part of the food that their country provides to the Shinobi Village must be purchased from abroad. The rich Bird Country is their choice. The Bird Country The temperature is mild and it is a famous grain-producing area. The big businessman Jiuzong currently has a large amount of grain in his hands, enough for two ninja villages and their people to survive the grain shortage since World War III. But if part of this grain is destroyed, only The amount needed by one country is even less. And if another country cannot find other sources of food in a short period of time, what do you think will happen?"

"But isn't this a bit too cruel for the citizens of the other two countries?"

Although he was born in the wealthy Fire Country, Namikaze Minato, who was born as a civilian, realized the importance of food very early.Even in the Fire Nation, once the war started, they were hungry and full.Danzo's actions were emotionally unacceptable to Namikaze Minato.

"silly"

Seeing Minato Namikaze being so ignorant, Danzo Shimura cursed angrily, picked up his crutch, turned around and left.

Mito Kado and Koharu glanced at the awkward atmosphere and said, "Hokage-sama, Danzo has a bad temper, but his suggestions are quite constructive. You should think about it carefully, Anbu or even It’s the root, ready to go at any time.”

As the sun set, Minato, who had finished his day's work, did not go back to his home, but instead turned to Sarutobi's mansion.

In front of the calm pond, Sarutobi Hiruzen took an old man's chair and lay on it. Next to him, he brewed a pot of fine tea brought from the land of tea, and was leisurely enjoying the wonderful time of retirement.

"Is Minato here?"

Sarutobi didn't look back, just by the sound of footsteps, he knew it was Minato coming.

"Yes, Sandai."

"Your footsteps are a bit heavy. Why, isn't it going well?"

"No, the three seniors on the advisory board gave quite good suggestions, but..."

Minato expressed his concerns, but Sarutobi calmly sat up and called Minato to him.

Minato sat in front of Sarutobi and listened to him say: "I know what you are thinking, but you have to understand one thing. Once the war starts, from the daimyo to us ninjas or samurai to ordinary civilians, No one is innocent. No matter life or death on the battlefield, or hatred, all this should not be involved after the war. But sometimes, the boundaries of war are actually very blurred. What we can protect, except for Konoha, is actually quite limited. .”

Facing his disciple, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen taught him tirelessly.Under the setting sun, Sarutobi's wrinkled face was filled with patience and peace.

"I understand"

Namikaze Minato nodded, his emotions gradually calming down.

"and also...."

Minato chatted with Sarutobi for a while, the sky was getting dark, and when he was about to leave, Sarutobi stopped him.

"I generally have no objections to Danzo's opinions, but some details still need to be revised."

"What, the third generation?"

"The ninja who goes to destroy food does not have to be from Konoha. The third war has just ended. Except for us in Konoha, there is a shortage of food everywhere. Do you understand?"

The afterglow of the setting sun dissipated, and darkness began to gradually cover the land.Under the last ray of light, Sarutobi stood up and slowly turned his head.

Sarutobi's face was shrouded in shadow, making Minato unable to see the expression on his face clearly.The dazzling light faded away, and Sarutobi at this moment was so cold that Minato didn't recognize him.
