Red sand dust

Konoha Village has a history of several decades, and there was once a "popularly elected" Hokage. Namikaze Minato more than ten years ago was really the one everyone expected. No matter in terms of origin, training, record, popularity, and image, he was perfect. role model.

Apart from him, look at what other people are there, including gambling, paralysis, lust, alcoholism and insidiousness.

It's a pity that such a "model" Hokage Fourth Generation died young before he could show off his ambitions and lead Konoha Village to its peak.

Even if Minato Namikaze came out of nowhere and could meet the expectations of almost all Konoha villagers, the Hokage was not promoted solely by his popularity. The protection of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya and a group of elders was also an important factor. Otherwise, the young "golden flash" may not be able to overpower Orochimaru and ascend to the throne of the fourth generation.

As for the previous generation of Hokage to designate the next successor, the story of passing on the fire is passed down from generation to generation. After the father dies, the son succeeds, the brother succeeds to the brother, and the master and apprentice help. The so-called "will of fire" and "Konoha spirit" are This has been passed down from generation to generation.

Especially at the critical moment, the last leader's death has extraordinary significance.

Sarutobi Asuma's background was no problem, and his popularity and qualifications were acceptable. He was nearly thirty years old, had just been married, and was about to have a child. He was loyal, reliable, and sophisticated.

The only worrying thing is that his strength does not have an overwhelming advantage among his peers, and it is still a little short of the average strength of previous Hokages.

In a few years, when he is about to enter his prime, it will be a natural thing for him to succeed to the throne without any dispute and become the seventh Hokage.

Because of this expectation, a group of elders and advisors also acquiesced to Shimura Danzo's arrangement.

Although the Sixth Generation and the Third Generation had some differences during their lifetime, they were ultimately out of public interest, and having different political views was not a serious matter. As for taking care of each other's descendants, it was also a tacit understanding among the upper class.

Join forces to control high positions, control resources, and suppress the upward path of the lower class people. When they reach a certain height, even if they do not do so deliberately, they will be forced to move forward by the joint efforts of the class.

Individuals who betray their class are so rare that every one that appears is remembered.

"There is no problem with Sarutobi Asuma, but he belongs to the future, not the present! If we work together to push him to the top, we may harm him!"

After being silent for a long time, Mito Monobu pushed up the thick glasses frame on the bridge of his nose and whispered,

"Danzo, although he was a little rough in his actions, he made no mistakes in matters of great importance. Even he died in battle. With Sarutobi Asuma's current ability, I'm afraid it will be difficult for his compatriots to believe that he can lead the village in the wave. The ninja world of Yun Tiao remains standing..."

Even the Leaf Village was attacked by foreign enemies and razed to the ground. Without the prestigious seniors to control the situation, the dignity of the overlord of the ninja world would not be able to hold on.

If it had been a little more peaceful, maybe there would still be time for Sarutobi Asuma to adapt slowly, but now the Fourth Ninja War is about to break out, and the decision at the Five Kage Conference is not a decoration. Can Sarutobi Asuma, the commander-in-chief of the ninja alliance, convince the "shadows" of other ninja villages?

Ninja is not a profession that follows rules. Competition between ninja villages is everywhere.

The ninja world is a society with deep-rooted traditions, but there are also things that happen when the subordinates conquer the superiors. The major countries and ninja villages advocate "strongman" politics. Once the leader shows weakness and fatigue, the people below will give birth to "others can replace them." thoughts.

In Daimaru's previous life, it was the cry of "Princes, generals, ministers, etc.", which not only maintained awe of the strong, but also lacked the ambition of "the emperor takes turns and comes to my house next year".

Simply put, the current Sarutobi Asuma cannot control the tigers, leopards and wolves outside. He has to let a more convincing person take charge of the overall situation in order to stabilize the current situation in the ninja world.

"Tsunade is just fine!"

After going to bed, Koharu turned his head and looked down at Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Kaiichi, who were silent and echoing the whole process, and other prominent figures in Konoha Village, and couldn't help but snorted,

"Hyuga and Hizashi are not here after all! It seems that the Hyuga family really doesn't care much about who becomes the Hokage..."

He doesn't fight, doesn't care, and goes to a different extreme than the Uchiha family that has been exterminated.

Of course, both are very unpleasant, behave differently, and are essentially disrespectful to the Leaf Village.

After hearing such complaints, Nara Shikakuzai explained in a dreamlike state:

"The head of the Hyuga family and his two daughters went out to visit friends. It is said that they are relatives of the Fire Country. It is not rude to be rude..."

"What a coincidence!"

After going to bed, Koharu curled his lips, but did not continue to ask, but said to Mito Kadoyan:

"Duanzo's last dignity must be preserved. Let Asuma Sarutobi continue to work hard for his successor. After the Fourth Ninja War is over, we can consider future arrangements! I don't think Tsunade is a patient person. Hokage’s material is that he will quit in a few years!"

Mito Monoyan shook his head and responded with some disapproval:

"It's hard to predict what will happen in the future. Even now, we can't accurately grasp it!"

The so-called "Crown Prince" proposal regards Sarutobi Asuma as the "Preparatory Seventh Generation". Let's not say whether it can be achieved or not. After a few years, the situation in the shinobi world has changed drastically, and the previous resolutions must have become outdated.

It is too imprecise to determine the Hokage's position by guessing one's character. It is impossible for the old-fashioned Mito Kaden to accept such a perceptual method.

"Furthermore, we have to be cautious! Having too high expectations for the younger generation is also a great pressure, which may crush talents who could have grown up smoothly! The tragedy of Orochimaru cannot happen again..."

Geniuses like Orochimaru were early regarded as candidates to succeed the third generation of Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. I'm afraid he himself never thought that Namikaze Minato would appear out of nowhere during the Fourth Ninja War, and then simply snatch him away. The position of the Fourth Hokage, who has been regarded as the one in the bag.

Now the elder advisors want Asuma Sarutobi to become the Seventh Generation. Even Tsunade and Jirai don't mind, Hatake Kakashi doesn't fight for it, and Uzumaki Naruto, who keeps saying that he will become the Hokage, doesn't mind either. ?

The waves behind and before are coming together. Only God knows whether the words of the outdated elders still count.

After turning to bed, Xiaochun thought for a while and nodded slightly:

"Excessive expectations are indeed a huge pressure. Sarutobi Asuma has not yet shouldered these."

"I will talk to Sarutobi Asuma in private. There are some things that I cannot hide from him to avoid misunderstandings! But..."

Mito Katoyan said with the final word,

"Tsunade must come back to take charge of the overall situation. From now on... let me be the villain!"

Because misunderstandings caused by information asymmetry are the most difficult to eliminate, people think that caring for others may not be appreciated by the person involved. Even if Asuma Sarutobi is a carefree and cheerful character, he cannot be fooled by this.

The plan has been decided, Koharu goes to the dormitory to find Tsunade, Mito Katohan interviews Sarutobi Asuma, and everyone else returns to their respective positions to maintain the stability of village affairs.

The news of the assassination of the Sixth Hokage was quickly spread under the control of caring people. Along with it, there were rumors that Sarutobi Asuma, who was trusted by him, was designated as the successor.

Half-truths and half-false rumors mixed with some false news quickly left the Leaf Village.

Many people still dismissed such news and thought it was nonsense. It was not until Shimura Danzo's coffin returned to the village that people believed it was the truth.

Another Hokage died in Konoha Village. After Nagato's attack, it had just regained a little vitality, and the whole village fell into a gloomy atmosphere again.

This Hokage's funeral was much shabby compared to the Sandaime's.

There is a huge gap in popularity. There is an insurmountable gap between a few months and decades in power. Many people don't know what kind of person the Sixth Hokage is, so they realize that there has been another change of people.

No matter what, Danzo Shimura's name is on the commemorative monument. This controversial figure has finally come to an end.

"An era is over! The 'roots' buried deep in the ground, bathed in the sunshine, still did not end well!"

Like a meteor, the sixth generation of Hokage passed through the lives of Konoha villagers, and it became a thing of the past. Tsunade, the fifth generation of Hokage, re-entered the Hokage's house, making Konoha ninjas feel that what happened in the past few months seemed to be fake. general hallucination.

Going round and round, I'm back to where I started.

After Daimaru discussed with the Fifth Hokage the handover method of the "Rescue Team", he stood on the top of the terrace and looked at the Hokage Rock in trance.

Nara Shikamaru, standing side by side with Daimaru, asked:

"When are you leaving?"

"It's still a week away!"

Daimaru responded softly,

"It will take a few days to hand over to Tenzo. Each of those Jinchuuriki's tempers are worse than the last. It's better not to appease them, or there will be big trouble in the future!"

"Although many Konoha ninjas think that you are a big trouble staying in the village, but at least you have brought some different scenery!"

Daimaru smiled and shook his head:

"Although Liang Garden is not the hometown of long-lasting love, my home is in the Kingdom of Wind! I am used to the noisy night wind, and the frogs and cicadas in Konoha Village disturb my dreams and make it difficult to sleep!"

“A place of water and soil can support a person!”

Nara Shikamaru showed a smile,

"See you again in the future. I hope your personality will become more lovable!"

"Then you will be disappointed. It is easy to change a country but hard to change its nature. I am not that easy to change!"

As he spoke, Daimaru turned around and looked at Nara Shikamaru, who was very friendly.

"Then again, I don't think I have any special care for you. Why do you seem to regard me as an obstacle that must be overcome?"

"Aren't you trying to get away with the Konoha ninja?"

Nara Shikamaru responded,

"I just thought, I can't let you surpass me! Compared with competing with my peers for the position of Hokage, defeating you will give me a greater sense of accomplishment!"

"Oh? Then how do you think about defeating me?"

"It's not that complicated!"

Nara Shikamaru replied enigmatically,

"The conditions in the Country of Fire are far superior to those in the Country of Wind. Even if you work hard, you can only make up for some shortcomings! Although I can't see how far-reaching the layout of your Sunagakure Village is, for the overlord of the ninja world, , there is a sure way to win..."

As he spoke, Nara Shikamaru stretched out a finger and explained very confidently:

"Copying the governance model of the second strongest ninja world, taking advantage of the unique geographical conditions and first-mover advantages of Konoha Village and Fire Country, and crushing them with size, we can become invincible!"

Using the same method, if the profit in Sunagakure Village is one, and Konoha Village copies it, as long as the profit is greater than one, it will be in the leading position.

More is good, big is strong, one step ahead, leading everywhere, overwhelming others with strength, there is really no solution.

Normally, if the boss copies the second child, he will look unambitious, but this is a really good idea.

Since you can't understand the micro-management and general aspects, just use it in its entirety, and it won't be any worse.

Logically speaking, as long as he is stronger than the second child, he is the natural boss. This straightforward thinking is really a bit wise and foolish.

"you are interesting!"

Daimaru smiled and patted Nara Shikamaru's shoulder lightly.

"Smart minds don't grow in vain. It's rare to be able to find the key! However, Sunagakure Village moves very fast. I hope you can keep up!"

Daimaru is a big shot who has represented the Kazekage and can greatly influence the affairs of Sunagakure Village; Nara Shikamaru is just a rising star who is known for his wisdom. Even if he discovers problems and finds solutions, can others listen to him?

With the pride of Konoha ninja, many people would feel ashamed to learn from Suna ninja with a shy face.

Many times, a seemingly perfect response method in theory will have various problems when it is actually implemented.

The key to the discrepancy lies in whether Nara Shikamaru's influence in Konoha Village is sufficient.

After the confident Nara Shikamaru left, Daimaru stopped smiling and remembered some established examples from his previous life.

When the gap is not very big, the competition between the two will inevitably lead to plagiarism and learning from each other. Even a small advantage will snowball in the end and eventually lead to qualitative changes.

When two groups confront each other, the key is to grab each other's dick and beat them hard. Because the boss's fight with each other will end badly and the situation cannot be controlled. Beating the second boss can serve as a warning to the monkeys and can also weaken the competitive group to a great extent.

In a situation where one family is the only one, there is actually no road ahead for the eldest brother, and everyone has to explore and clear the mines on his own. At this time, the key to staying ahead is to learn from the successful experience of the second eldest brother who has challenged the big brother's ideas, and to do so repeatedly.

In the long history, there are also people who have lost their way, and there are always exceptions.

"I hope you can also bring a little bit of new ideas to Konoha Village!" The current Konoha Village seems to be full of vitality, but in fact it is just a grassroots team! 』

If it were not that the force of force was the best in the ninja world, with Konoha Village's shabby governance model, how could it occupy the land of Fire Country?

In fact, in this aspect of comparison, other shinobi villages are not that good, and the previous Sunagakure Village was even worse.

Of course, it will be different in the future. The ninja world has only been stable for a few decades. How can the foundation be as rich as Daimaru's accumulation of thousands of years in his previous life?
