In the Hokage's mansion, Morino Ihiki brought the dying Naruto to Kakashi and told him the little tricks the two consultants had done in private.

Ibiki said: "Lord Hokage, within the scope of my authority, this is within my ability. I will leave you to deal with the two consultants."

"Ah, Ibiki, it's really hard for you..." Kakashi thanked him and thought: Otherwise, if Naruto has an accident, I really don't know how to explain it to the teacher.

Before leaving, Ibiki said: "Lord Hokage, this is also my suggestion. Don't let Uzumaki Naruto stay in the village. There is no soil for him to grow here. It's still too late. If it's too late, he might really

will fall into darkness, and what the two consultants are worried about will become a reality!"

The moonlight is cold.

Kakashi sat on the steps, looking at the bruised Naruto in front of him, and fell into a daze.

In just one year, many things have changed.

The hero of the Ninja War has become the object of everyone's contempt. The son of the hero who was originally bathed in the sun and carefree has been struggling alone in the darkness, but he still has not given up on the dream of Hokage in his heart!

My hands were stained with blood, I was used to being lazy, and I was often late, but I sat on the throne of Hokage.

"Compared to the great achievements of the teacher and the ancestors, what I have done is really insignificant. Why... just because of the teacher's human fault, I have to push him into the abyss of eternal destruction? What happened to this village?

.”

An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness lingered in Kakashi's heart.

He didn't even know...if he was careless one day, would he also end up in ruins!

The people of Konoha place too much expectations and pressure on the heroes.

Perhaps the achievements of the ancestors were so outstanding that the heroic path of future generations has become a trestle on the horizon, with the entrance to heaven above their heads and an abyss beneath their feet!

This road is full of stars, attracting much attention, and seems to be infinitely beautiful... But heroes need to move forward cautiously. Only when they reach the entrance of the kingdom of heaven will their merits be considered complete. If they make a mistake and fall into the abyss, they will be doomed!

"Look what the Third Hokage did! Why didn't you sacrifice for Konoha! Why didn't you die in battle!"

Look, Hiruzen and Minato are a living contrast.

Once you are a hero, you must be a hero all your life. If you cannot be a hero someday, your life will be worse than a bear! This is the people who are accustomed to and rely on heroes to save them in every disaster and catastrophe. Gradually,

A twisted view of heroes, but...

Heroes should not be compared in the first place!

Heroes are not for ordinary people to judge!

When Kakashi was feeling sad, a person walked out of the shadow behind the house.

"Shikaku?"

"Ah, I heard what happened tonight, and I was a little worried about you, so I came over to take a look. It turned out like this..." Shikaku sat down on the steps next to Kakashi.

"I feel like I can't stand this Hokage anymore..."

"Ah, I understand your situation. On the one hand, you have the people who need a bowl of water to keep things smooth. On the other hand, you have your former mentors and disciples, as well as your advisors who insist on your own way, and the Jonin who have different opinions."

"And you don't have the strength to calm down troubled times and conquer the masses like the first Hokage. The contribution you made in the battle of Kannabi Bridge, and because Minato led the team, has become a stain on you. The only thing you can use is to

The deeds you performed as an Anbu, as well as your responsibility to stand up and stand in front of everyone during the disaster in Konoha... But these experiences gradually cannot keep up with the current era."

"You were ordered to live in a special period in Konoha. The third generation was martyred, the fourth generation fell, Jiraiya and Tsunade were injured, and you had no choice but to be pushed to the stage and shoulder the heavy burden..."

"After the reconstruction of Konoha, people's lives have returned to stability, and your experience as the fourth generation Hokage's proud disciple has been mentioned again. What's more, some people are secretly comparing you to Shadow Uchiha... It is said that the village can be saved, but it is actually all thanks to the shadows. You, the Fifth Hokage, are nothing special at all."

Kakashi said: "Ah, I am Minato's disciple, but I am still proud of it! Compared with the shadow, what I have done is indeed insignificant! But I just want to do my best to change this village! This is The promise I made when I said goodbye to my father!"

Nara Shikaku said: "There is no doubt about your idea, but under the current situation, the authority of the shadow is too small. If the power can be highly centralized like the Hidden Ninja Kingdom, some problems can be easily solved."

"Highly centralize power? Do you want us to imitate the Ninja Kingdom?" Kakashi was surprised.

Lu Jiu turned around and said: "You don't necessarily have to follow suit. Shadow is a very foresighted person, as if he has seen through the essence of the world. Sometimes I even wonder if he has God's perspective, so he can prepare for such a rainy day. Make drastic changes..."

"Kakashi, there are some things... I only dare to say it in front of you. While the lords of various countries enjoy the convenience of ninjas, they are wary of the power of ninjas. According to my budget, in the next few decades, a country will The system of one village will collapse."

"The emergence of the Hidden Ninja Kingdom is bound to greatly accelerate this process... because the Ninja Kingdom has refreshed the powerful people's understanding of the ambitions and abilities of ninjas. In order to prevent usurpation from happening around them, the daimyo are bound to take action, or weaken The ninja forces will either be as extreme as the Land of Thunder and simply burn their own ninja villages to the ground!"

"It won't be long before... Konoha Village will surely face a catastrophe, not from the intimidation of other ninja villages' combat power, but from the existential crisis of being uprooted by the world and being outrooted!"

"It's not too late to make amends... The only way to save ourselves is to join the Hidden Ninja Kingdom and join the ranks of the entire village!"

Hearing what Shikaku said, Kakashi was greatly shocked: "Shikaku, as expected of you, I don't even dare to think about that kind of thing..."

"I don't blame you. I'm your adviser. Of course I can come up with wild ideas. If I were in your position, I wouldn't have the courage. I have a wife and children, and I don't want to be so young. Being nailed to Konoha's pillar of shame... In short, even if you want to implement it, you can't rush this matter. Let's deal with the resistance within the village first."

Kakashi said: "These resistances make my scalp numb just thinking about them..."

Shikaku put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder: "It doesn't matter, at least Ino Shikacho is definitely on your side! And Minato's role as Hokage was not in vain. There are still many Minatos in Konoha today. supporters, but they are unable to express themselves due to pressure from public opinion."

"Hyuga, the most famous sect in Konoha, isn't he a living example? If Minato hadn't made a decisive decision back then, Hizashi would have been gone forever, and his son Neji would have spent his life as a caged bird. They will always remember this kindness. In my heart...when necessary, they will definitely stand up and support you as Minato's proud disciple!"

"Thank you Shikaku. Without you, I really don't know how to go on..." Kakashi cheered up and looked at Naruto in front of him: "For the future of Konoha, I must preserve the fire of the new generation.

, even in a somewhat painful way...!"

Lin Yu watched this scene in the dark and murmured: "Nara Shikaku is worthy of being Konoha's first military advisor. Kakashi, I can't help but use other gods to poach him away from you."

, but because we may work together in the future, just keep him by your side, that way, he can also be used by me..."
