The third generation did not expect Nara Shikaku to suddenly appear here.
This was indeed something beyond his expectation.
In his impression and cognition, he already felt that Nara Shikaku would leave him.
after all.
Nara Shikaku now represents the Nara clan, not himself.
Behind Nara Shikaku stands an entire family of people like that. To such a degree, he has to think about his family.
The third generation knew this very well, so he did not blame the people who left him at all. If he became Hokage again, he would be willing to accept these people. He knew very well in his heart that these people were just helpless people.
But it just happened to be a wallflower, which made him feel more reliable at certain times than in death.
That's because wallflowers tend to fall with the wind. Whichever side of the wind blows is stronger, they will lean towards the other side. But at that time, wallflowers will be more loyal than some die-hards because they see the benefits. .
The world is prosperous, and everyone is here for profit.
The third generation is very aware of the importance that benefits can bring.
It is precisely because these people value interests and have family behind them that they cannot do many things according to their own personalities and cannot let go. They must put the overall situation first.
It is precisely this feeling of putting the overall situation first that forces them to bury the true thoughts in their hearts.
Just as the Third Generation thought, if it was for the Leaf Village, even if these people hated themselves very much in their hearts, they would still listen to him and follow his orders.
Because these people need the support of their own families.
They have to think about the interests of their family and fight for the interests of the family, so at that time they must stand on the side of power, even if the person in power makes them feel sick in their hearts.
This is also the reason why Sandai has never cared about this, because he knows that when he has no power, these people will leave him, and when he has power, these people will come back again.
He has nothing to criticize about these people.
This is very normal.
As the Hokage of Konoha Village, it is not surprising that he has already seen through all this.
So when Nara Shikaku found him, the third generation not only did not have any dissatisfaction, but also felt a little proud in his heart. This can show that in the eyes of the Nara clan, he began to have a certain degree of interest chain again.
It seems now…
The third generation seems to have realized that after this public opinion, he seems to have regained the recognition of the Nara clan.
As for other families, he still doesn't know yet, but the fact that Nara Shikaku can come here at least shows that the Nara family maintains an open attitude towards re-establishing a relationship of interest with him.
under such an attitude.
Sandai felt that he had hope again.
These hopes are very important to him.
He hadn't seen this in a long time.
At least it felt like it had been a long time.
After all, it has been half a month since the whirlwind of public opinion started. During this time, the three generations have not received care from each family.
Now Nara Shikaku suddenly arrives.
As long as the third generation is very clear in his heart, he has ushered in a very crucial thing, that is, the direction of public opinion in Konoha Village is about to change.
for this matter.
Very satisfied with those of the third generation.
He knew it very well.
Things have come to this point in time.
The public opinion he had arranged earlier to guide all the words spoken by Orochimaru and Danzo to the root has gradually begun to take effect.
It is precisely because of such public opinion that the families of Konoha Village began to regain their confidence in her.
This made Sandai feel extremely happy in his heart.
Although the third generation didn't say anything openly, he knew very well in his heart that these families, after regaining their confidence in him, could allow him to regain a relatively favorable position in the subsequent battle for the position of Hokage.
After all, at this point in time, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is already preparing to pass the Naruto legend to the next generation, and even the candidate for the fourth generation Hokage has been decided.
This kind of thing is known to the entire Konoha Village, and even every village in the ninja world understands it.
But now it's time.
Things took a turn for the better again.
The third generation is very clear that what he can do at the moment is to turn everything here back.
When these high-level families in Konoha Village are hesitating between his words and Feng Shui Gate or are already leaning towards him, then many things will be very helpful in the future.
"What happened?"
The third generation's eyes immediately fell on Nara Shikaku, and he asked in a gentle tone. It seemed that there was no estrangement at all because of the previous incident, and the castle in his heart had reached a very high level. .
“…”
Nara Shikaku was silent for a moment when he saw the appearance of the third generation.
At this time, his mind went blank and he had briefly given up thinking. As a very smart person like him, he could also see at this time the differences between the three generations and the past.
At any time in the past, what the third generation could show was not what it is now. At that time, the third generation looked very simple, sunny and kind, not at all like the very scheming look it looks like now.
But at this point in time.
Nara Shikaku suddenly found that the third generation made him a little confused.
This was different from the three generations he had known in the past.
Nara Shikaku knew that at this time, he had just attended the meeting of the Daimyos of the Land of Fire with these two consultants, and knew that the Hokage of Konoha Village had been passed down. Logically speaking, the third generation should not have such a spirit as now. And there shouldn't be any complaints about what happened before.
But at this time, he looked at the third generation in front of him and found that the latter was energetic, with a light look in his eyes, a gentle expression, and a kind voice. He looked like he was the same as before.
It was this kind of posture that looked almost unchanged at all that made Nara Shikaku feel very scary in his heart. He had never seen such a person who could show poker in front of everyone. The face is the same as the cards, and the posture has not changed.
It is precisely because of this appearance.
Nara Shikaku felt so unusual that it was indescribable.
If the third generation shows a relatively broken mood, is depressed, or has some other negative emotions, then he will still feel that the third generation is a very normal person.
Such a third generation is still a very good person even after losing the title of Hokage.
Only a person with positive and negative emotions can be a person of flesh and blood.
But without these, he will feel like everything is a joke.
At this point in time, Nara Shikaku looked deeply at Sandai. He carefully recalled every bit of contact he had with the Third Generation. After understanding that the Third Generation had just learned about the public opinions exposed by Danzo, There will be some psychological changes.
It was still very obvious to him at that time.
After all, at that time, it was obvious that the third generation felt really uncomfortable psychologically when he announced his resignation as Hokage.
This uncomfortable feeling felt extremely real to him.
Nara Shikaku felt that the third generation at that time was the real third generation and a more realistic version of the third generation. However, he originally thought that the current third generation would become like that again, but he has recovered now.
This very strange feeling gave him an indescribable and wonderful feeling in his heart.
Just as it looks now.
The third generation did not seem to be affected by those public opinions, and still sat on the Diaoyutai, as if the position of the Hokage had never changed.
"Huh..."
When Nara Shikaku thought of this, he took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled it, trying to calm down his mood so that he didn't seem so upset.
Immediately afterwards.
Nara Shikaku looked towards the third generation.
Firmness returned to his eyes.
"The roots... are disbanded!"
Nara Shikaku immediately said something that surprised the third generation. This was something he had known a few days ago, but he had not reported it to the third generation because at that time he felt that the third generation was no longer from the Leaf Village. Now that he is the Hokage, these topics need to be reported to Namikaze Minato, but Namikaze Minato has not yet completed the formal handover, so he has been stuck here.
But today, when he saw the whirlwind of public opinion from the outside world, he immediately understood that this was a dying struggle for the third generation, so he came.
When Nara Shikaku came, he did some construction in his heart. After all, he knew that the Nara clan told him not to contact the third generation easily. Konoha Village was about to change its dynasty, which was an inevitable phenomenon for the replacement of Hokage.
But after all, he felt that the Third Generation had an inscription for him, so he still wanted to talk about this matter, because he could see that the Third Generation's idea was to bring Danzo and Orochimaru down to their roots, but The roots have disappeared. Such a public opinion is actually extremely detrimental to the future development of the three generations.
Nara Shikaku had no intention of helping the third generation, he just wanted to tell what he knew.
After saying these words.
Nara Shikaku will feel an indescribable peace in his heart, which can be regarded as repaying Sandai's previous favor for his promotion.
"What?"
Sandai was stunned for a moment after hearing these words. His eyes widened, his pupils shrank severely, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Such a piece of news was indeed beyond his plan, even beyond his imagination, completely unimagined.
"You said the roots were disbanded?"
When Sandai said these words, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, because this was completely outside of his plan. He had never thought of such a thing before, and it seemed outrageous just thinking about it.
You must know that what he has wanted to do all along is to attribute all the things Danzo and Daishi said to the root.
And push the roots up in one fell swoop.
Make the whole thing work in his favor.
But.
If the roots have been disbanded, the impact on the rest of it will be extremely detrimental.
Sandai is very clear that now he wants to attribute everything to Gongbu Shangshu, but if the roots have been disbanded at this time, then he can't be blamed.
In this situation, there is no one left to take the blame!
This is not an easy or simple thing at all!
Sandai had never thought before that the roots would disappear in his lifetime, because he felt that the roots were a magic weapon of Danzo, and as long as Danzo was alive at any time, the roots would never disband.
He himself had not thought about this place.
In addition, there have been many things that have been bothering him recently.
Some time ago in the Third Generation Online, before receiving the encouragement from Senju Tobirama, that is, Qingyu, he actually had some thoughts of resistance to Hokage and did not want to continue to be Hokage.
After all, at that time point, what he felt was Danzo's betrayal of him. Under this betrayal, he had very strong emotions in his heart.
This particularly strong emotion kept stimulating his heart. The world left him with nothing left for Naruto. His expectations were completely blinded by his emotions and he was unable to clearly know what he wanted.
But when Senju Tobirama, that is, Qingyu said those words in front of him, making him understand the truest feelings in his heart, he wanted to become Hokage again, wanted to prove himself again, and didn't want to I want to continue to live such a muddled life against my inner will.
Precisely because of this.
During that time, the third generation was actually outside the Leaf Village. He didn't know what happened in the Leaf Village. He just knew that there were public opinions that belonged to it, and he didn't want to hear those public opinions. .
So he was almost closed-minded and had no idea what had happened in Konoha Village in the recent period. And after he accepted what Senju Tobirama, Qingyu had arranged for him yesterday, his heart started to start again. The fire of Hokage was rekindled.
Therefore.
During the next period of time.
The most urgent thing for the third generation is to quickly find the most true thoughts in their hearts.
And develop special feelings about these ideas.
And convey this whirlwind of public opinion that what Danzo and Orochimaru said was all the fault of the root.
But.
Sandai did not investigate matters involving the Roots, nor did he expect that the Roots would disband.
It is such a rare and novel feeling.
It made him feel completely unprepared.
"what is going on?"
The third generation frowned and stared at Nara Shikaku in front of him. He couldn't wait to know the truth of the matter. He really wanted to understand more clearly what happened here.
After all, such things will affect his judgment on the direction of the next thing.
After all, when he was talking about this with Teacher Senju Tobirama, he didn't know that the roots had been disbanded, which made him feel completely unprepared.
If he had known in advance that the Roots had been disbanded and told Teacher Tobirama the news, perhaps Teacher Tobirama would have taken everything into account and found other ways.
But now he can't find Mr. Tobirama.
There was no way to tell this information to Tobirama-sensei.
And he had no way to resolve this information entirely through his own abilities.
thus…
The current three generations panicked after hearing these things.
He just felt that everything was developing in a very favorable direction, and he thought that Nara Shikaku came here because the Nara clan had a new view of him.
But now he found out.
That's not what happened.
Nara Shikaku is not here to help him take sides.
But to remind myself of such a very important thing...
