"Um… "
After turning to bed, Koharu watched Nara Shikaku leave, nodded and said nothing more. Their understanding of the same thing had actually created varying degrees of isolation.
This is not entirely a generation gap.
It can be said that the positions are different, or the views are different.
Nara Shikaku was just concerned about the importance of his own understanding, and felt that the nature of things might have changed from what he imagined.
What he really cares about is not the position of Hokage, nor does he care about the so-called high-level position in Konoha Village.
Even when he returned to the Nara family, he was already thinking about whether he should continue to serve as a consultant for the Leaf Village.
But.
The same thing, in the eyes of Koharu and Mito Menyan, turned out to be different.
The two of them still have relatively consistent views.
They all felt that the fundamental reason why Nara Shikaku did this was just to put some distance between them.
After all, in the eyes of the two of them.
Nara Shikaku should belong to Namikaze Minato's side in terms of age and relationship.
So in their view, it is not difficult to understand that that road wants to connect them.
Anyway, it's quite normal.
"I'll take sides from now on."
Mito Kadoyan looked at Nara Shikaku's leaving figure and murmured softly. It wasn't that he had any emotions, but that was what he really thought. In his opinion, he had already chosen the road to take. That side of the Feng Shui door.
"What's wrong with taking sides?"
Xiaochun went to bed and shook her head with a smile, but her smile looked a little bitter. It looked like she didn't take these things seriously, but in fact she did. Then she said: "Where do we still have a team?" ”
"That's right."
The smile on Mito Kadobu's face became even more sad. He didn't know what was going on. The Third Hokage they relied on had resigned, and Danzo had also disappeared. For them, there was no such thing. In any queue, they are just two headless flies, and they can only rely on each other.
And it won't be long before Namikaze Minato will ascend to the position of the new generation of Hokage. In the short term, the new Hokage's foundation is unstable, and he may not touch them immediately.
The Hokage still needs to rely on the two of them for the connection with Konoha Village and the Country of Fire, but this situation will not last long. They know very well that once there is any other turning point, then as long as there is a chance, they will Someone comes to replace them.
The person who will replace them will definitely be a close associate of Namikaze Minato.
Just like the two of them had replaced the consultant who originally connected the Second Hokage with Konoha Village and the Country of Fire.
In this very valuable position, you must place someone you trust.
Even if they all understand this truth, let alone the new generation of Hokage Namikaze Minato, this is a drive that cannot be controlled by them at all. It is impossible for them to name other people in the Hokage's meeting.
If the two of them choose someone else to become Hokage at this juncture, just to choose someone they can trust so that they can continue to stay in this position, what they do will be criticized by Konoha. He was refuted and rejected by the majority of the people in the village, but if he was not careful, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame of Konoha Village.
Under such circumstances, everything they have worked and managed for Konoha Village for most of their lives will be in vain.
Just like the Third Generation and Danzo.
The two of them knew the Sandai and Danzo relatively well, and understood that they had done many things that were not worthy of recognition, and that there were indeed many stains.
But just because of these stains does not make the political careers of the two of them worthless. Have the Third Generation and Danzo made any contributions to the Leaf Village
The answer is definitely yes!
Moreover, the contribution these two people have made to what Konoha Village has done far outweighs the dirty things they have done.
But that’s the thing, when the 5 points in them are exposed, then all the things they have done before will have no value, and they will even re-examine them, thinking that the things they did before are nothing else. special purpose.
Once the incident comes to light, everything done before will have no value. This is reality, this is human nature, and this is also the understanding in the hearts of the majority of people.
The more something goes wrong, the more the wall falls and everyone pushes against it, the more the tree falls and the hozens scatter. No one will stand up to defend them, and no one will stand on their side.
The two of them could imagine that if something like this happened to them, they would also be thrown into the abyss of eternal destruction, so they understood that they could not be willful when selecting Hokage, and they had to stand on the side of the people. , Only in this way can we protect ourselves wisely.
Of course, when Mito Kadoyan said such words, he actually still envied Nara Shikaku in his heart.
After all, Nara Shikaku is not on their boat yet. He can get off at any time, jump to the other side of Namikaze Minato at any time, and continue to pursue his political career.
But the two of them are like old people left over from three generations.
If they choose to resign together now, they will definitely be misunderstood and mistakenly thought that they have done something dirty, been coerced by the new Hokage or others, and finally gave up their position of power.
Therefore, once they choose to leave this position, it is equivalent to leaving out of fear of sin. On the contrary, many things that would not be associated with them will appear in them.
This makes it impossible for the two of them to leave easily.
But if the two of them continue to stay here, they will become a thorn in the side of the new Hokage, and they will be kicked out sooner or later.
This puts the two of them in a very awkward position.
Can't go up and can't come down.
No one can understand their embarrassing situation.
Even after they welcome the arrival of the new Hokage, if they don't do their best to help the new Hokage complete the handover of their positions, they will cause many public threats.
This is not because the two people care about their reputation, but that they are already in a position of power in Konoha. They have spent a lifetime of youth for the entire Konoha village and dedicated all their strength to achieve such a status. Everyone hopes that they can have a very good reputation when they retire. If they reach an age and study medicine when they are about to retire and have to bear a lifetime of curses, then it is simply a failure for them. life.
In fact, they don't particularly cherish their feathers, but they don't want what they do to be tarnished.
"Don't think so much, let's go to the handover of Hokage, and then we'll talk about it later."
After going to bed, Koharu patted Mito Kadoro on the shoulder. In fact, the two of them were in the same situation. Only the two of them could warm each other and understand each other. No one else could fully understand their feelings at this moment. Feeling.
It is precisely because of this that the two of them do not expect others to understand them. Now they can be said to be the only people left here from the previous era. After completing the transition during this period, they have almost left Konoha Village. center of power.
This is actually quite sad to think about.
Of course there was nothing he could do.
When things have reached this point, it can be said that the winner is the king or the loser, and it can no longer be considered according to conventional concepts.
"Let's go."
After turning to bed, Koharu said slowly to Mito Kabuto, then took steps towards the Hokage's office.
The two figures looked a little lonely in this relatively active Konoha Village.
After the two of them left.
Konoha Village is still very calm, just like it was before, without any change. It can be seen that although the two of them hold very important positions, it will not affect the normal life of Konoha Village. operation.
…
Qingyu is sitting in his room, and he has been writing a new story during this time.
The notebooks in front of him were already stacked high, but these books had not yet been shown to Morino Itton.
This period of time is a rare time for him to rest.
The brain can also be free to do some things it wants to do, such as the writing work he is doing now.
Since he came to the ninja world, he has never had such a stable time. Now he has it, and based on his strong physical fitness, his thinking is very sensitive, and his hand speed is extremely fast, and he will not feel it at all. Any fatigue.
All the time.
All the ideas that came to his mind were written down in this lesson.
"Ninja School Teacher Hou"
"Ninja School White Teacher 2"
"Ninja School Boy Binbin 2"
"Ninja School Female Ninja Sugar"
These four brand-new works are already on the desk. He has completed the original story and kept it in the context of the ninja world. What he is waiting for now is to publish it.
This time.
Aoyu didn't want to take it out to the publishing house Morino Iton knew.
When it was published last time, the publishing house had some restrictions in many places. He didn't care about the money or the conditions for sharing it.
What he cares about is his own freedom.
Although his status in the ninja world is not high now, his ability can control the entire world, so that he does not want to affect his own performance in matters such as publishing, so he completely starts and follows his own unique Will to carry out.
From the current point of view.
Namikaze Minato is about to become Hokage.
He will have more say in Konoha Village.
At least there is no problem in setting up a publishing house exclusively for him in the Anbu. In this way, he does not want to read other people's opinions on his own books, but wants to have more people in his own publishing house. You have the right to speak to decide some directions and positions of your new book.
Aoyu is very confident in his work, because the story of Teacher Bai from the ninja school has been completed. People who are testing the waters of the ninja world are very fond of this. This is one of the reasons why Jiraiya can become popular, and he is bringing It comes from the wisdom of previous lives, which is a set of works selected by countless people.
In fact, he has thought about completing cultural output in the ninja world.
It’s not just that part of the work.
Including some of the better works he has ever read, he can bring them over.
It just requires a little more thought.
But he also found some unique fun in it.
"Dong dong dong..."
At this time, there were knocks at the door. Qingyu immediately stood up and walked towards the door. No one had knocked on the door for a long time. Everyone was very busy during this time, and he was busy with other things before. .
In fact, he can guess who can come
Except for Morino Iton, almost no one would come here, and you would know who it was without even thinking about it.
Qingyu, who stayed in the dormitory, had already put away his sensory abilities. After all, in his opinion, he no longer needed to control them. He did not have such a strong desire to control. This was why he did not want to be at the top of Konoha Village. Make any appointment a relationship.
After all, the more you know, the more tiring you are, and the more you control, the more tiring you are.
It would be too hard if he had to spread his chakra throughout the entire Konoha Village to monitor everyone while he was resting in his dormitory.
He doesn't want to be like this, he can't be like this, and he doesn't want to be like this.
"coming."
Qingyu responded lightly, and then walked towards the door. He had already guessed that the person who came was the fourth generation profit, and he probably knew what the purpose of this person was. After all, he had already written four books before coming here, explaining that this Iton Morino has been really busy for a while, and has been restrained to the edge of being unable to restrain himself, and needs some way to release it.
Creaking…
With the sound of the door folding, the door of Qingyu's dormitory was opened by him, and standing in front of him was a young man with yellow hair.
It was not the Morino Iton he had imagined.
It was Namikaze Minato who was about to become Hokage.
"Watergate?"
Aoyu was stunned for a moment. He never thought that Namikaze Minato would stand at the door of her dormitory. According to the current time and logic, Namikaze Minato should have done part of the handover, and he should become Hokage and prepare for the war. The Hokage is preparing for the future.
He has watched the Naruto anime and understands that the position of Hokage does not mean power, but also greater responsibilities. After becoming Hokage, you will lose a lot of free time, and there is not so much freedom that you can simply bear. Allotted time.
It stands to reason that this time should be the busiest time.
But Namikaze Minato actually stood at his door.
This made him very surprised.
He didn't tell Minato Namikaze about the preparations he had made for him to become Hokage. There was no need to say these things because it was meant to be hidden behind the scenes.
If Minato Namikaze knew these things and came to her door to thank him, he might still understand, but Minato Namikaze didn't know this, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
At this moment when he should be successful and famous, Namikaze Minato shouldn't be here.
"Why do you look like you're surprised?"
Namikaze Minato grinned, and the smile on his face was very sunny, which looked very bright in this gloomy corridor, and seemed to raise the temperature of the surrounding air a lot.
"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"
Namikaze Minato said this, but in fact he had already walked in, completely uninvited, and sat directly on Aoba's chair.
"sit down… "
Aoyu gave him a helpless smile, seeing that Namikaze Minato was already done, and there was no need for him to invite anyone else. He looked towards the corridor and confirmed that only Namikaze Minato was here, and there was no one else, so he left the dormitory. The door is closed.
"Minato, why are you here?"
Aoyu asked doubtfully, even he himself didn't know why Minato Namikaze came to find him at this busiest time
This made him have thoughts flashing through his mind the moment he closed the door.
He quickly looked back at everything he had done.
There were no surprises.
From the moment he started helping Namikaze Minato until he finally reached his current goal, he didn't feel that he had made any omissions, nor did he find any problems.
Not really.
Qingyu felt that his identity would not be exposed.
But if his identity was not exposed, he didn't know why Namikaze Minato would come to him at this time. This was a very unreasonable thing.
Something is wrong.
Was he exposed somewhere
Or maybe Minato Namikaze guessed something
All of a sudden.
There were many little question marks in Qingyu's head.
He had to look at Minato Namikaze sitting there and keep his mood as calm as possible. This was not difficult for him. His acting skills had become more and more perfect during this time.
Aoyu just looked at Namikaze Minato quietly, sitting in his seat, and uttered a very calm doubt, without showing any fear, and looked at Namikaze Minato as much as possible, the expression on Kado's face was Changes, to see if my guess is correct, and also thinking in my mind whether there is something wrong.
"If there's nothing else, can't I come?"
The kitchen was tattooed, and there was still a gentle smile on his face, like bright sunshine. He raised his eyes and glanced at Qingyu, then his eyes fell on the books on the table, and then he took out one at random and opened it. Looked through it.
"Um?"
Namikaze Minato let out a light sigh, and at this moment his eyes were staring at the words on the notebook in front of him.
At first, he was a little confused. He didn't know what was written on it, and he thought it was Qingyu's diary.
But as he looked at it, he noticed something different.
has a problem!
This is not a simple text work.
The plots here are interlocking, exciting and brisk, giving people an indescribable feeling.
The moment he saw it, he instinctively wanted to put the book down, but the plot in the book kept attracting him, making him unable to take his eyes away, so much so that he almost forgot that he was here. , what exactly is it for
"These books...were all written by you?"
Namikaze Minato's eyes widened, as if he had discovered a new world, he quickly flipped through several books, especially his eyes fell on the book "Ninja World Shiro-sensei 2".
"Ninja World, Mr. Bai, was written by you?"
"How do I remember that the author's name is Fugaku?"
"At that time I thought it was written by Fugaku!"
"It's just that I haven't made time to see him..."
"I didn't expect it was you!"
Namikaze Minato's face was filled with surprise and joy. He did not expect that this book was written by Aoyu. Of course, he was not a fool and would not believe what Aoyu said. He borrowed it from Fugaku and read it. .
Because he can clearly judge that the four books appearing in them are the original manuscripts!
Moreover, the handwriting of these four books is the same. It can be clearly judged that everything is written by Qingyu, and it is understood that Fugaku is actually just the name used by Qingyu.
"this… "
Aoyu was stunned for a moment. He understood that this kind of thing could not be hidden for long, but as long as only a few people knew about it, it was not a problem. After all, he had already discussed it with Uchiha Fugaku and let him bear all this. .
"Minato, don't tell anyone. This is the agreement I made with Brother Fugaku. I will be responsible for writing it, and it will be in his name."
Qingyu immediately explained that in fact, he still cares about his truest identity. Once he becomes a well-known existence in the ninja world, he will definitely receive more attention.
Although he is just writing books, he believes that as he writes more and more works, he will accumulate more and more fans, and those enthusiastic fans will find him, and many people will stare at him. He, at that time, no matter how subtle his movements were, they might be magnified infinitely.
And by that time, problems may often occur...
Qingyu didn't want something like this to happen to him.
So as long as he has the opportunity to keep a low profile, he will try his best to keep a low profile. After all, this is not the identity of others he uses, but his own identity.
If it were someone else's identity he used, he wouldn't care about it at all.
After all, other people's identities have nothing to do with him, and they can be thrown away casually after use, such as Orochimaru, Danzo, and Rentaro Satsuma.
But Qingyu's identity is his own identity. It is his truest identity when he came to this ninja world, that is, his true identity.
Once there is a problem with Qingyu's identity, he will have no choice but to remain anonymous and live as someone else.
This was not what he wanted, and life was not what he expected.
He still hopes that he can live peacefully in Konoha Village without being disturbed by too many people. Even if what he said together will be known to some people, the only people who know it are him. People close to him, but people outside would only think that the book was written by Fugaku.
As for whether the Fugaku they knew was Uchiha Fugaku, they were left to guess at will, and it had nothing to do with him.
"No problem at all."
Namikaze Minato was still smiling. He didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain when he came here today. He understood that Teacher Bai of the Ninja School and the author Fugaku was actually the Aoba she knew.
The more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes.
His eyes fell on the Ninja World Teacher Bai 2's book again.
"This story is about to be published in volume 2."
"Will it be written as a series in the future?"
"Will there be another 3?"
"It's really a wonderful story."
"I support you!"
Namikaze Minato said with a smile on his face, sentence after sentence. Every sentence he said was subverting Aoyu's cognition, making Aoyu's face full of astonishment.
"You read?"
Aoyu looked at Namikaze Minato with a solemn look. In his opinion, this person was very sunny. How could he read such a book
Although he doesn't think that the book he wrote is so unspeakable that one needs to hide in bed to read it, but after all, it is not completely accessible to the table.
Qingfei's original thinking is that in the real world, such a book is not recognized by the public. Instead, it is called a kind of inferiority. However, in the ninja world, it can be taken out openly and in front of students. Viewed from the side.
But even though Aoyu was like this, he didn't think Minato Namikaze would read such a book. This inexplicable contrast made him feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Of course, this book is so popular, is there anyone in the Leaf Village who hasn't read it?"
Namikaze Minato admitted very generously. In fact, he knew that he got this book from Uzumaki Kushina. At that time, Uzumaki Kushina bought this book and felt it was very good after reading it, so she shared it with him. .
At that time, both he and Uzumaki Kushina thought that the author of this book was Uchiha Fugaku, but they didn't have time to ask the latter, and now they got the answer from Aoba.
As Minato Namikaze spoke, he touched the cover of the notebook with his hand. Judging from his movements, he showed great care for it, as if he wanted to take the notebook back and share it with Kushina Uzumaki.
But.
Even he knew it was inappropriate.
Taking away a writer's manuscript may be a very bad thing for him, and he has to wait until it is published.
"Qingyu, when are you going to publish these books? I am your fan who wants to see the latest version of the books!"
Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up, and he was looking forward to getting one of them back to share with Kushina Uzumaki, because he could see that Kushina Uzumaki liked this type of work very much, and he had to say that these works It provides an extra boost to the relationship between the two of them.
"???"
Namikaze Minato's words filled Aoyu's mind with questions.
He was just thinking about the publication of these manuscripts, but Minato Namikaze came over and asked about such a topic.
"Um… "
Aoyu suddenly had a chance to express himself. He couldn't speak out his thoughts easily, because that would seem too direct, and there was no way to confuse Namikaze Minato. After all, he still didn't know Bengsuimon's specific intention. So we still have to act more realistically.
"Actually, I have thought about going to Brother Eaton."
"Because the story of Mr. Bai from the Ninja World that I wrote before was the one that found the publisher."
"It's just that the story of Binbin, a boy in the ninja world, was not too recognized by publishers."
"This also led to some disagreements between us."
"So I also wanted to find some other publishing houses, but at that time, Brother Deng told me that we could set up a publishing house of our own in Konoha Village."
"but… "
"Konoha Village has been too heavy during this period, and we have never found this opportunity."
"These manuscripts have been suppressed."
Aoba said slowly, he did not ask for Minato Namikaze to establish a publishing house for him, but after he said these words, it was revealed that he needed a publishing house. Now Minato Namikaze is Konoha The new generation of Hokage in the village, as long as the latter approves it, then this is not a problem.
Aoba deliberately led the conversation to this aspect, just to find out what the specific purpose of Minato Namikaze's visit was.
In fact, he knew very well that the incident with these books was just an accident, and it was not Minato Namikaze's attempt to find his true reason at all.
Namikaze Minato had other purposes.
But.
Now he doesn't know what the real purpose is
(End of chapter)
