Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

"Sakumo-senpai, how is the battle situation on the front line?"

Naoki caught Chongming in his hand, who kept sweeping his neck with his tail, motioned her to be quiet for a while, and asked Hatake Sakumo opposite.

Unconvinced, Chongming pressed the horn of his head against the palm of the rope tree, trying to create enough space for movement.

After working hard for a long time, he managed to squeeze out a small head from the rope tree's hand, and immediately drooped his slender tail with a look of decadence.

Hatake Sakumo watched the interaction between the rope tree and the unknown creature, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't choose to answer Naoshu's question immediately.

"Hokage-sama, the person next to you and the person you are holding in your hand are just..."

Naoki looked at Sakumo's hesitant eyes and suddenly understood. He shook his head nonchalantly and introduced to Sakumo:

"This is Amado, the scientific ninja I found for Konoha."

"After the war, he will serve as Mr. Orochimaru's deputy and provide Konoha with research assistance in the development of ninja tools."

After changing his clothes, Amado heard Nasuki introduce himself, adjusted his glasses, a friendly light shone in his eyes, and bowed humbly to Hatake Sakumo:

"My Excellency, Amado, I have met Lord Sakumo!"

"This is our first meeting, please take care of me, Sakumo-sama!"

Hatake Sakumo was slightly stunned.

"Science Ninja?"

Although I am a little surprised by the new profession mentioned by the Hokage, most of the ninjas related to Orochimaru are talents who are good at research, right?

"You're welcome, Your Excellency!"

"To be favored by Lord Hokage and appoint him as Orochimaru's deputy, I think you have extraordinary means!"

"From now on we are all members of Konoha and we have to take care of each other!"

Seeing the two of them greet each other, it can be regarded as a preliminary mutual recognition from each other. Shengshu nodded with satisfaction, released his big hand holding Chongming, and gently played with Chongming, who looked half-dead.

"As for this little guy"

"Chongming, we will live together in Konoha from now on, please introduce yourself to Sakumo-senpai."

"Sakumo-senpai is one of the few gentle elders in Konoha. Unlike other ninjas, he will not have any bad thoughts about your identity!"

"He is also a very trustworthy partner!"

Shigeaki heard Naoki's introduction to Hatake Sakumo, and his instinct to make friends suddenly emerged. He suddenly stood up from the rope tree's hand, looking full of energy.

"To be praised by Naoki-kun, you must be an amazing ninja!"

"Hello, my name is Lucky Seven Chongming, and I'm a tailed beast!"

Hatake Sakumo was immediately surprised by Shigeaki's self-introduction, and looked at the rope tree in surprise. Shengshu smiled and nodded, then reached out and poked Chongming's head.

"She is Nanao Shigeaki!"

"Like Amado, she will also live in Konoha in the future!"

"As for the lucky number seven, she gave herself a nickname, so don't worry, Sakumo-senpai!"

Hatake Sakumo was stunned and thought to himself:

"Do I care about Lucky Seven's nickname?"

"In the view of Hokage-sama, there is no name worth paying attention to because of the weight of the Nanao itself?"

Shuomao was tangled in his heart for a while, and showed a forced smile towards Chongming.

"Hello! Your Excellency, Chongming!"

"Please take good care of me in the future!"

Shigeaki was immediately surprised by Hatake Sakumo's attitude. Apart from the rope tree, Sakumo was the first human being to show kindness to him!

At that moment, he let out a chuckle, and Chongming patted his 'little chest'? He said generously:

"no problem!"

"If anyone bullies you in Konoha from now on, you will take my name."

"Hmph! Except for Mr. Naoki, I'm sure I can let you walk sideways in Konoha Village!"

Hatake Sakumo was stunned, laughed twice, and stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat that suddenly appeared on his forehead.

Shengshu suddenly looked at this arrogant guy with black lines on her head, and flicked the horn on her head angrily.

“I’m not afraid of the cowhide being blown!”

"Be careful, I'll tell the Nine Lamas when I go back!"

Chongming's excited expression suddenly faded, and even the wings behind his back fell limply on Shengshu's hand.

Shenshu put the shocked Chongming back on his shoulders in a funny way, and picked up the topic that had been diverted just now.

"Sakumo-senpai, tell me!"

"What is the attitude of Iwagakure Village now? Does Mr. Orochimaru have a strategy for Iwagakure Village after discussing it with you?"

When Hatake Sakumo saw the rope tree returning to the topic, he immediately straightened up and said seriously:

"Iwagakure Village has lost three generations of Tsuchikage and Five-Tails Jinchuuriki one after another, and has almost lost its fighting spirit."

"Under the leadership of Onoki's son Huang Tu, the ninjas of Iwagakure Village narrowed their defense line to the territory of the Earth Kingdom. No matter how provocative Hanzo and Amegakure's people were, they completely ignored them."

"My subordinates and Orochimaru discussed the current situation of Iwagakure Village once, and they agreed that the duration of this war will not be short!"

"If we can take this opportunity to force Iwagakure to surrender, we are still prepared to end this inexplicable war as soon as possible."

"after all."

"Although we and the coalition forces from the Land of Rain have won consecutive battles on the battlefield, ninja casualties cannot be avoided."

"It won't be of much benefit to us if we continue."

"With Konoha's current military strength, even if we attack Iwagakure Village, we probably won't have enough manpower to manage this land."

Naoshu nodded with admiration.

"You two are indeed the most outstanding commanders in Konoha. You have considered everything comprehensively."

"Besides, the idea of ​​a truce also coincides with my next decision!"

Hatake Sakumo did not show any happy expression because of Naoki's praise, but gently shook his head.

"Lord Hokage has foresight and naturally saw the dangers of the continuation of the war in advance."

"only"

Shengshu was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully:

"But what?"

Hatake Sakumo showed a trace of worry on his face, shook his head and sighed:

"But I'm afraid this war won't end that easily!"

Naoki didn't expect to see such a look on Sakumo's face, and he couldn't help but become interested. He still doesn't believe it. With him here, who else can prevent the end of this war!

"oh?"

"Is there anyone who doesn't want to end this war?"

Hatake Sakumo raised his head and glanced at the rope tree, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"It's the third Mizukage of Kirigakure Village!"

"He brought the Seven Ninja Swordsmen from Kirigakure Village all the way from the front line of the Kingdom of Iron and joined the battlefield as soon as possible."

"Moreover, he also brought an alliance agreement approved by Hokage-sama."

"so."

The disapproving expression on Naoshu's face suddenly froze, and an awkward smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Haha. It turns out to be the Third Mizukage!"

"I almost forgot about him!"
