The Thousand Faces of Konoha's Weird Man

169Exchange of interests

The ninjas outside Konoha are just idle people. So who are the idlers? Aren't they the guards of Kira?

The ninjutsu names of Beiko and others have been passed down from generation to generation, and they are high-level ninjas trained by the Hattori family. The previous generation was a famous member of the Twelve Protectors of the Country, but now he was despised by this unknown ninja. The grumpy guy had silently condensed his chakra, and the slightly flickering electric light filled the whole room with the smell of gunpowder.

"Back off." Kira stretched out his hand and pressed down, directly interrupting the guard who was about to explode.

This is Konoha's base, and his subordinates are just pretending to be powerful. If they were allowed to come in on their own, I'm afraid they would all look like quails. It seems that this group of people have stayed in Kyoto for too long and are accustomed to this style of doing things, and they don't even have this bit of vision. Even Kira, who doesn't understand ninjutsu, can understand the form. If you do it, you are courting death, and your death will be in vain. If he hadn't been concerned about his own character, he would have slapped them a long time ago. It would be quite a shame to let them go now. In this case, force cannot solve the problem. Only political wrangling is the most effective method.

What's going on? My little brother, Xiang Lai is here.

Looking at Kira who was retreating to the left and right but still standing here, Sarutobi and Wakayama frowned.

"Lord Kira"

"Who is this"

"The representative of the Sarutobi family," another Senju Jinma standing next to him introduced softly, "the eldest son of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's problem, we are discussing the issue of the next Hokage. "

"Senju's guy, the Third Hokage, is not dead yet." This Senju Jinma's method of replacing concepts was still sneaky. He was clearly discussing the next policy, but he directly replaced him with who to choose as Hokage. This little trick is quite useful in dealing with people and is often used in politics. To give a more direct example, when a man asks his girlfriend what she wants to eat at night, she may say casually, but if you say Japanese food or hot pot, you can often get a clear reply. The same is true in doing business. Never ask whether to buy or not, but ask a or buy b.

Sarutobi Wakayama is not an idiot. His opponent is emphasizing his relationship with Sarutobi Hiruzen. The next step is probably to make a fuss about this, such as avoidance of relatives or emotional instability. Sarutobi Wakayama emphasized the identity of Sarutobi Hiruzen and reflected his impartial side.

But what made him furious was the Senju clan's method of snitching. Although he didn't know what kind of ecological environment Kira was in the Land of Fire, the exposure of his body to outsiders made Sarutobi and Wakayama instinctively feel a crisis.

"It's not the right time to report this kind of problem to outsiders."

"Sir Kira is not an outsider. Even the appointment of Hokage needs to go through the daimyo." Does the appointment of Hokage need to go through the daimyo? Of course it does. In theory, the daimyo's status is still higher than that of the hokage. But everyone knows that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Neon has a long history. The daimyo here is like the emperor, just a mascot. The shadows in each village are general-like beings, beings who actually hold political power and military power. But the formality still has to go, and the Hokage still has to be authorized by the daimyo. Back then, Danzo wanted to assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi when he went to report to the Hokage, so Konoha obviously abides by the traditional ninja village. However, the selection of Hokage really has nothing to do with the officials of the Fire Country. It is just like the selection of people in China. It has been decided long ago. The results are even known before the selection. They are all the boss's. Game.

But then again, since it is an institution, even if it is an idle institution or even an institution without any real power, it already exists, then it is meaningful. So does the daimyo really have no influence on the selection of Hokage? That's not necessarily true. After all, the identity is there. If the selection is evenly matched, the guy who has always remained neutral and aloof will be very valuable. How does the Fire Nation influence Konoha? The first is the economic aspect. After all, they control the country's tax revenue. Konoha can be self-sufficient, but if you want to live a good life, you need the support of the country. Who doesn't want to live a better life? What's more, the huge ninja army is supported by the Fire Nation. Even if it is an internal meeting of Konoha, it is not too much for the Fire Nation to send individuals to participate. Even if they do not have the right to vote, they still have the right to make suggestions. Even a stick can make waves in the shithole Konoha is now.

What's more, the problems facing Konoha are now more complicated. It has changed from a two-party confrontation to a three-party game. The sudden addition of the Fire Country envoy is obviously an unexpected factor. For the envoy who is obviously leaning towards the Senju clan, or rather Representative, Sarutobi and Wakayama Ten Thousand did not want him to join in and disrupt the situation.

"Of course I know the rights of the daimyo. You don't need to use the name of the daimyo to suppress me. However, this Lord Kira is not a daimyo of the Fire Country. Could it be said that your Senju clan can already represent the Fire Country and can appoint daimyo candidates at will? Yet"

Killing people and punishing the heart, Sarutobi Wakayama said this to trick Senju and this guy named Kira to death.

"No, no, don't talk nonsense." Senju Jinjian couldn't hear the implication of Sarutobi and Wakayama, so the old man directly came up with a set of quality three series.

Looking at this group of scheming ninjas, Kira suddenly felt a familiar feeling, just like in the temple of the Land of Fire, a group of guys were so bickering for some small interests, they had no idea what the existence of the country depended on. What is it. The group of ninjas in front of him were not much more noble than those politicians. Instead, they were the ninja he had met before. The moment he told his plan, Kira had a refreshing feeling. How broad his vision was. Regardless of whether he is limited to one country or one village, he can't even see his selfish desires. At least according to his plan, the country of fire will definitely benefit in the end, no matter who is in power at that time.

On the contrary, this group of people, no matter who is in power, the result will not be any better, they are just another Hokage.

The village is still dead, the country is still dead, the world is still dead.

"Sarutobi, sir, I may have misunderstood that I am not qualified to replace the daimyo, but I am the daimyo's eyes and ears." In the small scene, Kira didn't feel the pressure at all, and even wanted to laugh a little. While talking and laughing, he put his hand into his arms and fumbled around, "Here, this is before I left Kyoto, the daimyo specially gave me a letter of appointment."

"letter of appointment"

"letter of appointment"

The former was Sarutobi Wakayama's confusion, and the latter was Senju Jinma's surprise.

Did Kira really break in accidentally? I'm afraid he won't be able to pass the gatekeeper ninja level. Those elite jounin cannot be broken through by four lightning escape masters. Even if they can break through, does Kira really know where they are meeting? There must be a leading party, and it is in this room, and Kira was introduced into it by him. In fact, this is easy to guess. Just look at Senju Jinma's attitude and you will know who caused the result.

This was of course also part of Saki's plan. Relying on the natural advantages of being a time traveler, he easily analyzed the various difficulties faced by the Fire Nation in front of Kira. His bold predictions were not considered predictions, but he boldly promised that he would He killed the Third Hokage, and then analyzed the predicament that Konohagakure was in. Just like Zhuge Liang deceived Liu Bei, Kira and Hattori were nowhere to be found, which shocked the world for a time.

In fact, most of the risks in this plan are borne by Sakichi, and Kira and Hattori only need to invest. If Sakichi draws the pie well, these venture investors will be more easily convinced. As things progress, things that Sakichi predicts correctly will continue to happen. This is the fundamental reason and motivation for Kira to enter this conference room.

As for the Senju clan, he has been secretly contacting him for a long time, because the fifth Hokage must be Tsunade. This is the solution to the entire conflict in Konoha, and it is also the fundamental need for traditional forces to succeed the decadent Sarutobi clan's rule. It is also the bottom The fundamental appeal of ninjas. As an emperor or a courtier, no one wants to stand out. The result of lying on the credit book for decades is that the Sarutobi clan has no ability to rule Konoha, and there is no hero who can stand up and be beaten. This kind of family is simply a wall that defeats everyone. The best person to push to.

Before, Sakichi not only contacted Sarutobi Wakayama and Sarutobi Hiruzen, but also Danzo and Orochimaru, with the intention of benefiting both parties. Just like he made a promise to Danzo and also informed the third generation, since he knew who would win in the end. , it is reasonable to charge some IQ tax from the loser.

What's more, it wasn't him who came into contact with the Thousand Hands clan, but people from the Fire Nation. He didn't sell out his teammates, at least not completely.

Kira's position is different. He has been on the opposite side of Sarutobi from the beginning, and now he wants to kill them completely. He also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Senju Clan. What is a strategic cooperation agreement? It means cooperation where everyone can cooperate, and pulling back where they cannot. It means there is nothing feasible to implement and no details. Therefore, the Senju clan originally only wanted to use his identity to put pressure on the top management of Konoha. In other words, they wanted the daimyo to stand up for themselves. It was not that they really wanted the daimyo's power to infiltrate. In the future, this village will still be thousands of people. In the world of the Shou Clan, if a guy like this is allowed to enter the game, it is very likely that he will be too big to lose.

But today, Kira suddenly took out a letter of appointment, which made Senju Jinma feel a hint of conspiracy.

The old guy was all too familiar with the smile on Kira's face. It looked like he was sure of victory. It shouldn't appear on the face of an audience at all, but should appear on the face of a player.

What's more important is that the content of this letter of appointment is very general, but it can make it clear that Kira's power in Konoha is roughly equivalent to the daimyo's voting rights, which means that he has the right to make suggestions for the selection of Hokage, and even Even the candidate for Hokage does not need to go to Kyoto to perform his duties. Under special circumstances, Kira can act on behalf of the daimyo.

What kind of operation is this? It's like he already knew that special situations might happen in Konoha. This makes Senju Jinjian shudder. Could it be that this guy is also with Orochimaru? The real man behind the scenes is the country of fire. The daimyo wanted to rely on Orochimaru to completely destroy Konoha or take it into his hands.

Seeing the faces of his enemies and allies gradually changing color, Kira apologized slightly: "Things may be a little different from what you think. Sarutobi-sama seems to have written a letter to the daimyo before. Before coming over, the daimyo specifically asked me to care about Hokage-sama. Due to his physical condition, it may be that Sarutobi-sama revealed some intentions to the daimyo, or the daimyo may have misunderstood something. Perhaps he feels that this Chunin Exam will be the last time that the third generation will preside over Konoha, and a new Hokage may take over. I was specifically told to stay in Konoha for a while, so that if I encounter special circumstances, I won’t have to travel to Kyoto with the Hokage, everything will be expedient.”

I'm afraid it's not certain whether Kira is telling the truth.

I'm afraid it's not necessarily true whether what Kira said is a lie.

This is the basis of lying, that is, the lie must be mixed with the truth. The daimyo may have asked him to care about the situation in Konoha, but the power of delegation is definitely the result of layers of inducement. The meaning of the daimyo is different from Kira's explanation. Absolutely the opposite. But the daimyo would never have thought that something like this would happen in Konoha. What Kira did was within his limits and he would not make any mistakes.

This is where the prophet is so powerful. Kira almost laughed out loud after saying these words, because the people in Konoha had to hold their noses to recognize it whether they believed it or not. It was impossible for them to go to the daimyo for verification, let alone deny the authenticity of the letter of appointment.

So let me see how you choose

After the atmosphere stagnated for a short time, Sarutobi Wakayama and Senju Jinma's expressions softened slightly.

What can we do now that things have reached this point? Can Sarutobi and Wakayama ask his father for confirmation?

Can Senju Nima say in front of so many people, Lao Tie, this is different from what we agreed?

This is riding a tiger with difficulty.

"As the representative of the daimyo, I will unconditionally support Konoha's decision, so if you elders don't mind, I want to stay here, just to listen, so that I can reply to the daimyo when I return to the capital."

Kira's next words simply gave them a chance to get off the ladder. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get off. By the way, a seat was cleared.

However, there are a few people who play politics who simply say that they will not affect Konoha's decisions, which means they will not affect decisions that are beneficial to them. The purpose of staying here is actually to influence everyone's decisions, but politics has always been It was a process of compromise. If he wanted to influence Kira, he had to first see what he could offer that could be traded.
