Naruto: Ancient Era

In the face of the facts, any cover-up is pale and powerless.

Hatake Kakashi watched Kimura Kuno fall into silence. Unlock Kimura Kuno? Do not make jokes! He couldn't convince himself, let alone provide psychological treatment to Kimura Kuno.

Uzumaki Naruto's meeting room fell into a strange atmosphere, and he was so nervous that he did not keep smiling. Kimura Kuno looked at the silence of the two people in front of him and couldn't help but shook his head. "It seems that senior is self-aware!"

To be blunt, Hatake Kakashi was not angry, but had a helpless smile on his face. He had hated it when his father committed suicide. When his teammates died, he was unwilling to accept his own strength. Killing his comrade with his own hands almost made him fall. After the baptism of time, he had to let go of the past.

"Konoha is a big family, and there are always people who contribute to it." Hatake Kakashi said. Just like the Hokage of Konoha, his duty is to protect the village.

When Orochimaru attacks, with the strength of the Third Hokage, he can leave everyone behind and retreat alone. In that case, let alone Orochimaru, who is a Sannin-level ninja, even if he is a "god"-level ninja, there is nothing he can do against the Third Hokage.

What is "god"? That means one person has the strength to rival any of the five major villages.

Kimura Kuno looked thoughtfully at Hatake Kakashi in front of him. "It's just this sacrifice, but the person who paid it was willing?" The death of the Third Hokage seemed normal to Kimura Kuno. Because he is the Hokage, and since he is sitting in the position of the Hokage, his death to protect the village can be regarded as a worthy death.

But he was imprisoned in prison and never saw the light of day all year round. What kind of sacrifice is this? Kimura Kuno didn't understand.

Hatake Kakashi was speechless.

"Finally found you, Kimura Kuno!" A man said, lifting the curtain and walking into the Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant. Kimura Kuno looked at him and frowned. Because he didn't recognize the man in front of him.

As if aware of Kimura Kuno's expression, the unexpected man said politely: "I am a close minister of Yaoxi, and I came here especially to see you." He glanced around, paused at Hatake Kakashi, and then said: "Master Yaoxi wants to see you!"

Kimura Kuno's eyes flashed with an inexplicable flash. He looked at the "close ministers" in front of him and said: "Lead the way!" Kimura Kuno did not refuse Yaoxi's invitation.

Not to mention that Yaoxi is now the "Daimyo of the Land of Fire", Kimura Kuno cannot ignore the friendship between the two parties. What is friendship? Yaoxi now owes Kimura Kuno a favor.

The destruction of the Yagyu clan is equivalent to Kimura Kuno eradicating Yaoxi's biggest threat. Yao Xi had to recognize this favor.

Soon, Kimura Kuno came to Yaoxi's "stay". Yaoxi, the great name of the Fire Country, is different from his fathers. He always goes to Konoha to visit Konoha when he has nothing to do.

A few years later, when Kimura Kuno met Yao Xi, he had already discovered that Yao Xi's momentum had grown and he was already a very powerful person in the city.

Taking a look at Kimura Kuno, Yaoxi said slowly: "I'm sorry for what happened back then!" Kimura Kuno was not stupid and naturally understood what Yaoxi meant. "You were not a daimyo of the Fire Country at that time. After you succeeded to the throne, your foundation was weak after all."

He didn't resent Yaoxi's inability to contribute, because under the circumstances at that time, Yaoxi's ability to become a great name in the Land of Fire depended on the Third Hokage. It sounds funny, but in fact, if the Third Hokage is dissatisfied with Yaoxi, he can let another person take the position of the Fire Country Daimyo.

"As you said, after I became the daimyo of the Fire Nation, all my subordinates were disobedient and disobeyed my orders as the daimyo of the Fire Nation." Yao Xi sighed and said. "I've almost become a puppet these past few years."

"The Third Hokage doesn't care?" Kimura Kuno asked. Hearing this, Yaoxi said: "Ninjas cannot interfere with the Fire Nation's political power. This is an iron law."

"Of course I can ask the Third Hokage to execute those rebellious ministers and traitors one by one, but once this is done, it will set a precedent that cannot be taken back." Yaoxi said with a bitter smile: "Besides, do you think those ministers will accept their fate?" "They He will use all means to hire ninjas to assassinate me."

"Then why did you come to me today...?" Kimura Kuno said thoughtfully. His eyes kept scanning Yao Xi's face.

Yao Xi said bluntly: "Then it's okay if we don't need the power of Ninja Village?!" He said softly. "Have you heard about the Twelve Guardian Ninjas?"

Kimura Kuno nodded and said: "You mean the independent private organization that protects the Daimyos of the Land of Fire." This organization was very famous in the early years, and Kimura Kuno had seen records of its organization in the archives.

The purpose of this organization is to protect the Fire Country Daimyo from being under the jurisdiction of Konoha. According to rumors, members of this organization killed each other due to disagreements over their ideals, resulting in a large number of deaths and eventually being forced to disband.

"I want to form an organization that is not inferior to the Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors." Yaoxi's eyes were shining. "With him, I want all the ministers to surrender to me."

At this moment, Yaoxi's ambition was revealed. Looking at him, Kimura Kuno smiled. "You shouldn't have your mind set on me."

At this time, Kimura Kuno couldn't react anymore. He was really as stupid as a pig.

"Why not?" Yaoxi said confidently: "With your strength, you are qualified. Moreover, Konoha is not so friendly to you."

Yaoxi, this is telling the truth. Konoha is not just unfriendly to Kimura Kuno. Kimura Kuno smiled. It didn't take much effort to find it after breaking through the iron shoes, because he was worried about his father and the Hokage.

If he is loyal to the Fire Country Daimyo now, no matter how angry Konoha is, he will not take the risk of taking action against Kimura Kuno and the others.

"But I have a request!" Kimura Kuno suggested to Yaoxi. There is no problem with loyalty, it’s just that the object of loyalty has changed. But Kimura Kuno didn't want a civil war like that of the Twelve Guardian Shinobi.

So he needs a "control", a right to do whatever he wants with the organization he formed.

"Say it!" Yao Xi said with a smile. He knew the strength of Kimura Kuno. Such people were all "outstanding people" in the world. If he wanted people like them to work hard, there would naturally be benefits.

"It's very simple. This organization can only take orders from me." Kimura Kuno said slowly. In other words, once Yaoxi agrees to Kimura Kuno's request, he himself will be a person inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

"This is natural." Yao Xi said without hesitation. As long as Kimura Kuno is loyal to him, then this organization is equivalent to Yaoxi's.

Kimura Kuno smiled with satisfaction, looked at Yaoxi and said, "What is the name of this organization?" Because it was a new organization, naturally it could not use the names of the Twelve Guardians of Shinobi.

Yaoxi glanced at Kimura Kuno and said slowly: "Xing Jun." Kimura Kuno recited the name and said with a smile: "That's the name."

When Kimura Kuno walked out of Yaoxi's residence, he noticed that someone was watching him. Kimura Kuno's expression remained unchanged, he glanced at many suspicious places with his peripheral vision and headed towards home.

After all, Tsunade was worried about Kimura Kuno and always sent people to monitor her. Kimura Kuno naturally knew this situation, so he didn't say anything.

There is a tacit understanding between the two parties. Just as Yaoxi said, Konoha is simply unfriendly to Kimura Kuno.

When he walked into the house and saw his father pruning potted plants with a leisurely look on his face, Kimura Kuno couldn't help but have black lines on his head. Konoha became increasingly wary of the jounin involved in the Uchiha clan incident.

Not to mention the blatant surveillance, it made everyone panic and uneasy. She was afraid that if Tsunade didn't do anything, she would kill him directly.

"Father, there is a way out now." Kimura Kuno said directly without any subtlety.

Kimura Hirono looked at his son and sighed. He also knew the situation at hand, but he could not solve the dilemma. Even though Kimura Kuno said there was a way out, he didn't feel the slightest bit happy.

Seeing that Kimura Hirano was not happy, Kimura Hirano naturally understood the meaning. "Don't worry, I have no intention of betraying the village."

Kimura Hirono's eyes lit up and he said: "Where is the way out?" He has now thought of all the ways he can think of, so he is very curious about those shocking words his son said again.

"Come to the Fire Country Daimyo." Kimura Kuno said. "In this way, we will not betray the village, but we can also share the worries of Konoha."

"After our group of people leave, the hidden crisis in Konoha will naturally disappear silently. I'm afraid this is what the Fifth Hokage also wants to see." Kimura Kuno looked into his father's eyes.

"Okay!" Kimura Hirono laughed. Now he just felt that the stone pressing on him fell to the ground, and his whole body felt relaxed. "This is a good idea."

"Those elders still need my father to negotiate with them. You must explain clearly that this is a matter of both prosperity and loss." Kimura Kuno reminded Kimura Hirano.

Those elders are all jounin of Konoha, and every one of them is a ninja who has walked on the edge of life and death.

‘They still have this bit of judgment. ’ Kimura Hirono said confidently. Everyone has a circle, and ninjas at the Jonin level are no exception.

Kimura Hirono usually dealt with ninjas of the same level, and the relationship between them was harmonious, if not estranged.

The crisis of Kimura Kuno's family is also their crisis, so they will agree to it as long as they are not stupid. Although this would leave the village, he is still a member of Konoha and has not betrayed the village.

"That's good!" Kimura Kuno had no intention of bringing all the elders into the organization, but instead wanted to build momentum. If the elders also want to form an organization, Kimura Kuno has no objection, as long as they do not touch one-third of an acre of Kimura Kuno's land.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Kimura Kuno fell into deep thought.

How long can I watch this kind of scenery?

Hokage Building.

Tsunade frowned as she listened to Hatake Kakashi's report. Because things are getting a little troublesome. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire actually had a private meeting with Kimura Kuno, which was not a good thing.
