Blind Uchiha and Platinum Star

Chapter 163 Chapter 161: The Secret Family

The charcoal fire spreads the fragrance and makes it shiny and moist.

In the time-honored BBQ restaurant in Konoha, the leaders of the contemporary Ino, Deer, and Butterfly Secret Technique families gathered here for a small gathering.

However, despite this scene where the aroma of grilled meat makes people's mouths twitch, few people take their chopsticks.

Except for the ninja who is much stronger than ordinary people.

He gently tapped the chopsticks in his hand, skillfully twisting nearly half of the shiny meat on the grill, and said with some confusion:

"Shikaku, Haiichi, don't you want to eat?"

"Eat it, Dinza." Nara Shikaku, who has two scars on his face and is known as Konoha's military advisor, is not in a relaxed mood at the moment.

The peace talks between Konoha and Iwagakure have been reached. In theory, this protracted war for Konoha will finally come to an end. They should be celebrating.

But whenever he thinks about the turmoil that Konoha is likely to face in the future, Shikaku feels uneasy.

The Sandaime was forced to abdicate. Although Namikaze Minato was hard to beat among his peers, he was still too young after all, and he also did not have enough background behind him.

And the Hokage assistant appointed by the Sandaime actually started asking for people from all the families at this time.

Shikaku and Haiyi frowned deeply.

This little so-called power will be gone if it is gone. Who doesn’t like a more relaxed life?

Obviously the war has just ended, and the population of the major families is in decline. It can be said that everything is waiting for improvement.

The reason is that in order to protect Konoha during the war, the roots in the shadow suffered heavy losses.

Having read this, Lu Jiu couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Seeing this, Zuo Ding quickly put down his plate and clinked glasses with his two other friends. He smiled and said to smooth things over:

"After all, Shikaku is the military advisor of Konoha now, so he has to use his smart head more, haha."

I'm afraid no one will cheer for him in the subsequent upper-level meetings. It's very likely that he will be severely punished by the family forces in Konoha as soon as he takes office.

This was not a casual remark, but Ding Zuo was secretly asking for help from the other two clans of Pig, Deer and Die.

"Don't look so scary, Shikaku. It's been quite some time since we, Zhulu Die, have been together like this."

After swallowing in a venting mood, he remembered that he had eaten all the batch he had just baked and seemed a little embarrassed.

It sounds nice.

How could he be willing to accept this behavior of pushing his clan members into a pit of fire?

But what can he do?

"Also, that adult actually said that the root experiment would be smoother if there was information on the Akimichi clan's secret medicine to stimulate their own chakra."

Shikaku frowned slightly.

Namikaze Minato was originally a war orphan picked up by Lord Jiraiya during his travels. Although he was deeply loved by everyone in Konoha, once he rose to the stage of a power struggle, without any family background, he might not be able to avoid being ignored by other high-level officials.

So Ding Zai just ate up the roasted meat on the plate with big mouthfuls.

It's the so-called volunteers.

The secret arts family headed by Zhu Ludie has always chosen to join the group to keep warm when faced with such things.

Speaking of this, Haiyi suddenly paused. He felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it.

"Ding, you, the Akimichi clan, have always been strong and strong, and have never had a precedent of taking office at the root. What did that adult say to you?"

Do you really want the secret information? Or are you threatening the Akimichi clan?

Or maybe both?

"Maybe it's not a bad thing to tell the Yondaime Hokage about this matter and let him make a decision."

However, recently, the Secret Arts family encountered difficulties at the same time from an adult lurking deep in Konoha.

In order to prevent such an important organization that maintains Konoha's security from having a vacancy in its manpower and causing a crisis, each major family should try their best to send more outstanding members of the clan to it.

"Hmm, don't tease me. After the war, there will be no need for so-called military advisors in Konoha."

Although Shikaku admired Minato's personal abilities very much, he had to consider some things as the head of the clan.

Shikaku was silent for a moment, of course he couldn't understand the unexpected meaning of the Aburame clan leader's words.

Akimichi Choza's little eyes that were almost invisible narrowed slightly, and he picked up the plate with the barbecue again and took a few bites.

It is also a root that can only be effective during a war. Just like him, the so-called Konoha military advisor, his existence should be reduced with the end of the war.

Now that the negotiation of the war has ended, the next step is to reward the various family forces after the war based on their merits, or to reorganize their power layout.

If Namikaze Minato makes Danzo so arrogant because he has no family background,

Do the secret arts families who are the elders have to become his background?

How could he not know that entering that adult's inner circle would mean a narrow escape from death, not to mention that the person he was asking for was not an official.

Many things cannot be accomplished by being strong.

"Ah, is this something that can't be said? Just pretend you didn't hear it."

Although Minato was deeply loved by everyone in Konoha, he was alone and had little influence. Apart from his teacher Jiraiya, who was one of the three ninjas, he could be regarded as his ally.

Of course they know that although Ding Zao appears to be a rough man on the surface, the Akimichi clan is quite delicate in mind.

The broad palm spreading the barbecue suddenly paused, and he suddenly came back to his senses.

This is a political gamble

They still didn't know whether Minato, who was extremely good as a ninja, had the qualifications to become an excellent Hokage.

It may even be easier to destroy Konoha's internal structures than previous wars.

"He said that Genbu is testing a secret technique. The Akida family has a strong body, strong vitality, and is good at using the secret technique to control body changes, so he needs it."

Lu Jiu listened to the words of comfort from his close friends, and smiled helplessly:

At this juncture, should we replenish the emptiness in our roots with dignitaries from major esoteric families?

Whose family is not empty now? Is it just your roots that are empty?

The secret medicine industry is the foundation of the Akimichi clan. Letting a secret magic family hand over its secret skills is an act that destroys its foundation!

Danzo actually wants this?

only.

That's what he thinks, but some people obviously don't think so.

Akimichi Choza stopped talking, and even the extremely delicious barbecue on the plate was difficult to eat.

Haiyi looked at Lu Jiu's face, which was already a bit ferocious with scars, and it became even more terrifying. He picked up the wine glass and said:

Haiyi couldn't help but said "Ah", saying that he always felt that he had forgotten something. He had invited Zhihui to participate in this conversation before, so why did he forget about it?

Lu Jiu glanced at Haiyi, who looked equally embarrassed, and said, "Zhihui, why are you here now?"

That's all. Originally, this was the pain of change that the fourth generation Hokage and the major families had to face.

But Danzo asked them for help at this time.

This is to seize power before Minato comes to power!

This is asking for hostages!

It’s not about replenishing emptiness at all!

The Hokage was replaced. However, among the four senior members of Konoha, only the Hokage was replaced.

Haiyi and Dingzao were slightly silent, while Shikaku took a sip of soju from the cup and whispered:

"Well, I don't miss this shit war that lasted for so long."

This is not good news for Konoha's heritage.

He neither participates too much nor makes a few remarks from time to time to prevent his family from being squeezed out of the political center of Konoha, and is somewhat of a wallflower in it.

Compared with the little power he gained from being ordered to do something in danger during the war, Shikaku, as the young leader of the Nara clan, was even less willing to see his clan members die in the wilderness.

A deep voice came from the seat next door, making the three contemporary pigs, deer and butterflies slightly startled.

Pig Deer Butterfly:

Although she felt very unhappy in her heart, Aburame Shihui still said calmly in her deep voice: "The Yondaime-sama is a lonely person, but he is loved by everyone. I think he will handle things clearly."

Lu Jiu's eyebrows were gloomy: ".Experimental subject?"

He picked up the plate with the raw meat and spread it on the grill one by one. He said as if he couldn't catch it because he was distracted:

After all, they are also the family of the elders of Konoha. As long as their family's power is not too weak or they don't create too big a trap, their status will be very stable.

Lu Jiu sighed slightly, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Hai Yi: "Sorry, it happened accidentally."

Aburame Shihui: ".I should be the first one to arrive."

However, while Lu Jiu was still thinking, Hai Yi opened his mouth and said:

"It doesn't feel bad. I think Yondaime-sama won't be more difficult to talk to than that one, right?"

Dingzuo also looked at Shikaku, who was the head of the secret arts family, with pleading in his eyes.

Finally, Lu Jiu sighed slightly and said:

"Okay, I will find a time to talk to the new Hokage on my own behalf."
