Chapter 39 We are just picking up people’s teeth (2/4)

(Seeking flowers, seeking evaluation votes!!)

Shikamaru listened to the explanation of his father Nara Shikajiu, and felt that he understood a little bit, but more doubts emerged.

Lu Jiu noticed his son’s frowning brows, smiled and touched his head, and said, “Don’t worry, you have not experienced many things. You can’t understand it by me alone, and my opinion may not be completely correct. .”

Shikamaru nodded and said, “One last question, father.”

“You ask.” Lu Jiu said.

“I want to know the real reason for Third Hokage-sama’s resignation.” Shikamaru’s expression was a bit distressed. “I have thought about many reasons, but none of them are decisive.”

Lu Jiu was startled when he heard the words, looked at his son for a long time, and showed an expression of distress.

“It seems that I told you too much too early.” Lu Jiu smiled bitterly.

“Father, silence means betrayal. I really don’t understand why our tribes betrayed the Sarutobi clan in this matter. The earrings are still on your ears.” Shikamaru pointed to the token on Luku’s ears and said.

That earring is a token of witness to the alliance of the Ino-Shika-Chō tribe from the Sarutobi clan in the troubled times of Sengoku.



Since then, the two sides have maintained an extremely close relationship.

Ino–Shika–Chō has always been a loyal fan of the Sarutobi family.

“It’s not that we betrayed Sarutobi.” Luji rubbed Shikamaru’s head and sighed: “The truth is that Sarutobi betrayed us.”

“Why do you say that?” Shikamaru’s eyes widened.

“Tell me your opinion first.” Lu Jiu said.

Shikamaru nodded and began to state his thoughts these days.

“Father, what you said just now convinced me that Lord Third Hokage’s failure in decision-making was not the reason for his stepping down, because Mikage left the village, Orochimaru defected, Lord Tsunade left without saying goodbye, and even Asuma-sama left Konoha… No stain can shake the power of the Third Generation, let alone this time?”

“If judged by merits and demerits, the Third Generation was called Ninjao when he was young, how dazzling are his achievements on the battlefield? Why don’t you comment on the original achievements now?”

“But just now, father, you said that the wrong judgment of Third Generation’s defect in Uchiha Tangwu was a big failure in ZZ’s career, which made his wise image shaken. People no longer believed in the correctness of his orders, no longer I think he can lead the village well.”

“Why now, with this failure, let you judge that the Third Generation project is no longer suitable for leading the village, father?”

Lujiu listened to Shikamaru’s whole words with a surprised expression, and was silent for a long time.

“Oh, since I’m talking about this, I won’t keep it from you, but you can’t tell you what you remember.” Lu Jiu sighed.

“Yes.” Shikamaru nodded seriously.

“Actually, I said that some prerequisites are missing, Shikamaru, you also think too much.”

“Remember the words of Will of Fire? It’s not that you can be recognized by everyone when you become Hokage, but you can be recognized by everyone before you can become Hokage! The Third Generation is already at odds with the ninjas in the village.”

“Why centrifugal?” Shikamaru was puzzled.

“Because… people always get old, and new people always appear. If the old branches do not want to fall, but still absorb the nutrients of the big tree, how should the new paper come out?” Lu Jiuyi Finished the passage in a heavy tone.

Shikamaru’s eyes were tight, and his mouth opened wide, as if a string of electric current was flowing through his body, his spirit suddenly became aroused, and he felt a deep awe and heart palpitations.

This feeling is as if something beautiful has torn away its disguise, revealing the bloody dirt underneath.

“At the beginning, Konoha, a big tree, experienced the throes of wind and rain. The new branches have not yet been able to bear the heavy responsibility. The old dead branches stick to the tree head, thinking that they have to shelter the latecomers from the wind and rain, but how can the shade of the tree appear? The second lesson: big tree?” Deer said with great pain for a long time.

“At that time, we already felt that it was wrong, but the situation at that time and the personal prestige of the Third Generation made us reluctant to accept it.”

Shikamaru listened silently. He had read history and knew that the reinstatement of Third Generation was definitely not as simple as Lu Jiu said.

The issue of Cloud Shinobi Village has not yet been resolved. The Third Generation made a decision and rushed to the capital with cronies all night, and asked the daimyo for permission to reinstate, leaving everyone in Konoha with helplessness and understanding.

“It’s not just the Uchiha clan that is embarrassed, in fact, many of us are embarrassed.” Lu Jiu sipped his tea and sighed: “The Third Generation, which is old and loses its appeal, uses cronies to help stabilize its power. The result is a monopoly by the elders. Konoha’s industry and the right to speak, and the elders have guaranteed the Third Generation destination… the people above will not get down, and the people below will not get up.”

Shikamaru looked at his father in disbelief, shaking his heart.

——This is already Zhu Xin’s words!

Put it outside, even when facing the patriarch of Yamanaka and Akamichi, Nara Shikahisa would not say this.

But for his son, the future patriarch of Nara.

Lu Jiu expressed his opinions frankly.

“But in general, this turmoil within Konoha is about to end.” Shikamaru Lu said to Shikamaru: “We, the Jōnin class ninja, and the ninjas passed down by our masters and apprentices, have reached the initial goal of joint persecution at the meeting.”

“Now I’m waiting to welcome the new Fifth Generation.” Lujiu’s big hand patted Shikamaru’s shoulder, and said gently.

Shikamaru lowered his head, with a sad expression on his small face, and sighed rather heavily.

“Father, I didn’t think that because of Uchiha’s rebellion, Konoha caused such a big disturbance.”

Lu Jiu heard this but shook his head and said, “Shikamaru, he is not a simple character that can be described by’Uchiha, a traitor…”

“Father, what do you mean?”

“I’m not afraid to tell you directly, the abdication of Third Generation is just a current problem, and the really serious problem has not surfaced yet.” Lu Jiu said, shaking his head.

For example, the issue of redemption of the captive Xihihong Ninja, the attitude of the Uchiha clan in the future, and the attitude of Uchiha Tangwu to Konoha.

“The whole turmoil was caused by Uchiha Tangwu, or he is the eye of the eye. The power changes within Konoha are just the aftermath of his own influence. If he had not defected, how could we achieve the goal of the Jōnin class meeting now.”

Lu Jiu said with a slightly self-deprecating tone: “After all, we people are just picking up things that people don’t like and we are complacent, just like vultures snatching carrion left by lions.”

“Father……”

Shikamaru stared at Luji in a daze.

For the first time he saw his calm and confident father, showing such a sullen expression.
