The Dreamer of the Naruto World

The old man was sitting on the ground, and the old man was sitting on the ground.

In Konoha, in the courtyard of the Nara family.

As the patriarch of one of the three tribes of Pig, Deer and Butterfly, the house of Nara Shikaku's family naturally covers a large area. The interior decoration is simple and elegant, and the layout of the courtyard is also elegant and quiet, showing the profound heritage of the Nara family. Drinking a pot of tea and playing a few chess moves in such a courtyard is indeed a good enjoyment for elegant people. But at this moment, Nara Shikaku faced his own courtyard and looked at the gurgling water in the pond, but he had no interest in enjoying it at all.

Because he held a piece of information from the Land of Waves in his hand.

The development of the situation in the Land of Waves was beyond Nara Shikaku's expectations. Shokuhou Misaki not only blocked the joint attack of Kumogakure and Kirigakure, but also killed the Fourth Mizukage Yagura. Afterwards, Shokuhou Misaki used a combination of hard and soft means to recapture the Land of Waves, intimidated the Daimyo of the Land of Waves, and officially turned the country into a vassal state of the Land of Fire...

In fact, Nara Shikaku was not too surprised by the diplomatic transformation of the Land of Waves. After all, it was just a stupid and cowardly small country. It would be honest if it just used some tough measures and killed some people. What really made Nara Shikaku feel great pressure was the strength shown by Shokuhou Misaki.

Not only did she defeat the Fourth Mizukage and the two Jinchūriki of Kumogakure together with "Uchiha Izumi" and Might Guy, but she even killed the Fourth Mizukage in turn. Considering that "Uchiha Izumi" and Might Guy did not contribute much to the Land of Waves, Shokuhou Misaki almost crushed Yagura, the perfect Jinchūriki, by herself, and by the way, she still had the strength to intimidate the other two Jinchūriki of Kumogakure.

Such strength is not worse than the Fourth Hokage in the past!

And if Shokuhou Misaki, who has such strength, really makes trouble, how can their Nara family stop her? Even if the three tribes of Ino, Shika and Chou plus the Sarutobi clan, what can they do to stop her? To be honest, with Shokuhou Misaki's current strength, she can directly become Hokage. Who in Konoha dares not to obey? Didn't you see that the Fourth Mizukage was slaughtered by others?

It can be said that after having strength, Shokuhou Misaki has made up for the last shortcoming of becoming Hokage. Combined with her achievements in the Snow Country and the Wave Country, Shokuhou Misaki is fully qualified to become Hokage immediately except for age and qualifications. After all, under her planning, the entire ninja world, except Konoha, has basically weakened the other four major ninja villages.

But that's the problem!

There is a saying that a new emperor has new ministers. If Shokuhou Misaki really becomes Hokage, how will she treat the Nara clan, which is the foundation of the Third Hokage? Considering that the Ino-Shika-Cho clan had offended so many people in Konoha under the connivance of the Third Hokage, would other Konoha clans take advantage of the opportunity of the change of Hokage to directly launch a reckoning against the Ino-Shika-Cho clan?

When Nara Shikaku thought about how he had just plotted against Shokuhou Misaki in the Land of Waves, he became more and more terrified. He knew that he had offended Shokuhou Misaki to death. Once Shokuhou Misaki became Hokage, he would be severely reckoned. And facing this trend, he had no way to stop it. Because no matter in terms of strength or wisdom, the other party was above him.

This was an all-round crushing without dead ends, just like the unstoppable trend of history. However, facing such a dilemma, the person Nara Shikaku hated the most was not Shokuhou Misaki. After all, he was the one who plotted against the other party first, and now he was not as skilled as others, so he could not blame Shokuhou Misaki for his strong strength and clever means.

The person that really made Nara Shikaku hate the most was actually Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The reason why the affairs of the Ino, Shika and Chou clans have developed to this day is ultimately due to Sarutobi Hiruzen's fault. If he had passed the position of Hokage to Orochimaru a few years ago, why would the Ino, Shika and Chou clans have to compete with Shokuhou Misaki? They can continue to serve Orochimaru as the base. Even if they don't want to serve Orochimaru, they can still protect themselves calmly.

But it was because Sarutobi Hiruzen was attached to power that problems arose in the Hokage inheritance sequence of Konoha, which in turn led to the increasingly fierce struggle within Konoha. Especially after the Uchiha clan left and the second ninja village was established, Sarutobi Hiruzen's prestige was greatly reduced, and the Ino, Shika and Chou clans, which were the base, were also criticized.

It can be said that what happened today was destined from the moment Sarutobi Hiruzen expelled Orochimaru from Konoha. This is the price of forcibly occupying the position of Hokage in the absence of strength. If you don't want to abdicate voluntarily, then you can only live and die with the position of Hokage in the future. The three tribes of Pig, Deer and Chou were also tied together by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

You can't even get off the boat.

In the final analysis, becoming the base of Hokage is not without cost! If the Hokage is a man of great talent and has made great achievements for Konoha, then the several major families as the base will naturally rise to the top and enjoy all kinds of benefits. But if the Hokage is stubborn and offends too many people in Konoha Village, the ninja clan as the base will naturally bear the corresponding price.

For example, the three tribes of Ino, Shika and Chou are facing the almost inevitable liquidation of the next generation of Hokage. And this liquidation cannot be solved by getting rid of Shokuhou Misaki. As long as the next generation of Hokage is not from the third generation, the three tribes of Ino, Shika and Chou, as accomplices of the third generation of Hokage, will not have a good ending.

However, while Nara Shikaku blamed Sarutobi Hiruzen, he completely forgot that the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen was attached to the position of Hokage was that the base of these Hokage played a big role. If there was no support from these bases, if they were not reluctant to give up the interests in their hands, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to continue to serve as Hokage, it would not be so easy.

After all, people always tend to shift the blame to others. This is true even for Nara Shikaku, who is a think tank of Konoha. However, this kind of blame shifting is essentially just self-hypnosis and cannot change the reality at all. When he thought that the Fourth Mizukage died at the hands of Shokuhou Misaki, Nara Shikaku's sense of oppression would continue to rise.

After a period of high pressure, Nara Shikaku's spirit became somewhat trance. In the haze, he seemed to see Shokuhou Misaki become Hokage, and then a large number of Konoha centrist families attacked the Ino, Shika and Chou clans.

Under the liquidation of the new generation of Hokage, the ninjas of the Ino, Shika and Chou clans died one after another. As the patriarch of the Nara clan, he died in the dungeon of Konoha, and his wife was also humiliated in every way, and his son was forced to become a traitor of Konoha, and then died at the hands of the Anbu.

The above are not Nara Shikaku's fantasies, because similar things have happened more than once in Konoha.

Even the most serious one, Konoha even planned to exterminate the Uchiha clan! Although the extermination plan was not carried out because of the Uchiha clan's separation, there is no doubt that Konoha's internal means were very cruel. Otherwise, the Uchiha clan in the original work would not have died so easily.

"Dear..." Nara Shikaku's wife has a hot temper, but at this moment, facing her gloomy husband, she has no motivation to lose her temper, and her eyes are full of worry. Instead, Nara Shikaku's son Nara Shikamaru said:

"Father, did you offend someone?"

Hearing his son's question, Nara Shikaku finally couldn't bear it and sighed:

"Yes, father offended a very powerful colleague at work. Father is not her opponent, and I'm afraid that this colleague will target him in various ways in the future!"

"In that case, why doesn't father apologize to that colleague?"

Apologize?

Haha, if apologies are useful, then what is the use of kunai?

Nara Shikaku wanted to scold his son for being childish, but Nara Shikamaru continued:

"If you don't even apologize, how can you be sure that your apology is useless? Maybe your colleagues will accept your apology? Or maybe your colleagues also need you? Anyway, you have to try!"

You have to try?

Yes, you have to try!

What if Shokuhou Misaki gives their family a way out?

What if Shokuhou Misaki still needs you?

You have to try everything. If you don't even make the most basic attempt, you are courting death!

Because of Nara Shikamaru's reminder, Nara Shikaku finally found a way to survive. A few days later, when Shokuhou Misaki and others returned to Konoha Village, they were greeted by a big drama. Nara Shikaku, the leader of the Konoha Jounin class, was seen kneeling at the gate of Konoha. In front of a group of Konoha villagers and ninjas, he said to Shokuhou Misaki:

"I'm sorry, Shokuhou, I was wrong!"

Fuck, you slid down too fast!

Shokuhou Misaki, who was still thinking about dealing with Nara Shikaku after returning to Konoha Village, was also stunned by the shocking scene in front of her. Even Danzo and Might Guy beside him widened their eyes. To be honest, even Shokuhou Misaki didn't expect that Nara Shikaku, the head of the clan, would be so embarrassed!

Apologizing to herself in such a public place...

It seems that in order to avoid future reckoning, Nara Shikaku has no face left!

And facing such a shameless Nara Shikaku, Shokuhou Misaki really has no way to deal with it. It's not that she would apologize in front of the whole Konoha Village when someone apologizes.

Shouldn't she step on the faces of the villagers of Konoha? If she really did that, Shokuhou Misaki's reputation in Konoha would be ruined in the future. The villagers of Konoha might call her a wolf behind her back, who would be arrogant when she succeeded!

So in the face of such a shameless Nara Shikaku, Shokuhou Misaki had to pretend to be terrified, helped Nara Shikaku up, and then said with a puzzled look:

"Shikaku senior, why are you doing this!"

Although I know you want to kill me in the Land of Waves, I don't want to kill you yet!

You can still survive for a few more days, why do you do this?

And in response, Nara Shikaku also said with a look of regret:

"Shokuhou, the reason why you are in danger in the Land of Waves this time is my mistake!"

If I hadn't leaked the information and made all kinds of plans, how could you, Shokuhou Misaki, be attacked by the three perfect Jinchūriki? And my biggest mistake is that I didn't expect your strength to be so strong! The three Jinchūriki joined forces, but you killed one of them.

How can I not feel grief in my heart when I think that you didn't die, but continued to make contributions to Konoha?

"It's okay, Senior Shikaku."

Shokuhou Misaki smiled with relief, as if she had truly forgiven Nara Shikaku, but cursed in her heart:

It's okay! This is a public place, otherwise I would kill you now!

"No, Shokuhou!"

Feeling the murderous intent in Shokuhou Misaki's smile, Nara Shikaku continued to explain:

"This matter is indeed my mistake!"

I really know I was wrong, please forgive me!

"Let me bear the corresponding responsibility!"

I will pay the corresponding price for this! Whether it's money or real estate, I will give you as much as you want!

"As a senior of Konoha, and also the squad leader of the Jounin class."

I am at least the patriarch of the Nara clan, and the squad leader of the Jounin class, so I still have some value.

If you are willing to let me go, our Nara clan will serve you like a slave in the future!

"I can't forgive myself for almost killing my companions! This kind of pain keeps me awake at night, and I have wanted to understand myself countless times!"

If you really don't forgive me, I can commit suicide to apologize!

"As the head of the Nara clan and also Shikamaru's father, I must pay the price for my mistakes and set a good example for them!"

Please, you can kill me, but let my clan members and children go!

In the face of Nara Shikaku's plea, Shokuhou Misaki also fell into thought.

It's not that she thinks Nara Shikaku is pitiful. The most important reason is that Nara Shikaku's actions made her lose face. If she really agreed to Nara Shikaku's request, it would be troublesome to liquidate the Nara clan in the future. But if she doesn't agree to Nara Shikaku's request, her image in Konoha Village will be affected.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Shokuhou Misaki said:

"Shikaku-senpai, we are all ninjas of Konoha. It is normal for us to have conflicts with each other. There is no contradiction that cannot be resolved."

It is not impossible to forgive you.

Hearing that Shokuhou Misaki seemed to be able to let the Nara clan go, Nara Shikaku's eyes suddenly lit up.

Is there a turnaround in the development of things?

Just when Nara Shikaku was looking forward to it, Shokuhou Misaki said again:

"But even if we are ninjas from the same village, some things still have to be settled. This time we encountered such a danger in the Land of Waves, and the root cause of this problem must be investigated clearly. When this root cause is found out, I hope that you, the Nara clan, will not bend the law for personal gain, but handle it impartially."

You know what the root cause of this matter is, it is Sarutobi Hiruzen! If you really want to get my forgiveness, then when I want to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen in the future, you must choose your side. Even before you officially break up with Sarutobi Hiruzen, you must side with me and become a resolute force against Sarutobi Hiruzen. If you, the Nara clan, dare to do anything in this matter, I will definitely deal with it impartially in the future and make sure that none of you Nara clan will be left alive!

Feeling the cruelty of Shokuhou Misaki, Nara Shikaku secretly complained:

This guy actually wants our Nara clan to compete with the Third Hokage. Not to mention how much our family will lose, the century-old alliance between the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans and the Sarutobi clan is completely ruined. Even if our Nara clan survives in the future, we will not be able to escape the reputation of being two-faced in the future!

How can this Shokuhou Misaki be so cruel! Either he wants to kill people or he wants to destroy their hearts!

But when I think of Sarutobi Hiruzen being so old now, and Shokuhou Misaki is only 13 years old now. One is the setting sun that will soon set, and the other is the rising sun. Nara Shikaku finally gritted his teeth and said:

"As the leader of the jonin squad, I will not let go of the guy who targeted his fellow villagers! So, Shokuhou, don't worry! When the truth of the matter is found out, our Nara clan will definitely catch the mastermind behind it!"

Shokuhou Misaki, don't worry! From now on, our Nara clan will follow you!

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is the root of the problem, even without your order, we will turn around and deal with him. Our Nara clan is so sensible and considers the overall interests of Konoha!

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Senior Shikaku, I am now the director of Konoha Development Department. As you know, I am an inexperienced young man, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions in this aspect of work. So I also hope that the Nara clan can cooperate with the work of the Development Department."

What kind of inexperienced young man are you?

I see that you are working in the Development Department like a fish in water, and you can solve most of the problems by playing mahjong all day!

You, you clearly want our Nara clan to spend more money when developing the new area, and even want us to pay for it! We, the Nara clan, have already agreed to deal with Sarutobi Hiruzen, why are you still not satisfied? We, the Nara clan, have lost our face and lives, and you actually want us to pay for it!

But no matter how dissatisfied he was, seeing Shokuhou Misaki's indifferent smile with murderous intent, Nara Shikaku still gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, the work of the development department, our Nara clan will fully support it!"

You want face, life, and money...

Shokuhou Misaki, you greedy guy, I curse you to go to the eighteenth level of hell in the future!

Seeing that the Nara clan has paid almost everything, Shokuhou Misaki finally showed a satisfied smile on her face.

"That's good, that's good!"

Said, Shokuhou Misaki patted Nara Shikaku on the shoulder and said with satisfaction:

"I am so lucky to meet such an excellent ninja like Shikaku senior in the senior ninja class!"

"Same here, I am also very happy that Konoha has such an excellent junior like Shokuhou!"

Nara Shikaku said this, but the smile on his face was uglier than crying:

What did our Nara clan do wrong, why did we meet such a difficult Hokage!

"Come on, Shikaku senior, let's go to the Hokage building together! I believe that the Hokage will be very happy to see that our relationship is so harmonious!"

Happy? Seeing that his base has smoothly surrendered to others, Sarutobi Hiruzen will be very happy if he doesn't die of anger!

Thinking this in his heart, Nara Shikaku is still looking forward to the expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face soon.

What Nara Shikaku didn't expect was that he and Shokuhou Misaki had just taken a few steps, and two more people knelt down on the street with a plop. And these two people are none other than the other two families of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, the Akimichi clan leader Akimichi Choza, and the Yamanaka clan leader Yamanaka Inoichi.

It turns out that these two families, as the base of Sarutobi Hiruzen, realized that the tide of the times could not be stopped after seeing Shokuhou Misaki kill the Fourth Mizukage. It's just that these two families don't have the brains of the Nara clan, and they didn't think of Nara Shikaku's good method. Now seeing that Nara Shikaku relied on decisive sliding and kneeling, he was recognized by the next generation of Hokage, and these two people immediately followed suit.

Although the timing of these two families kneeling was not as good as Nara Shikaku, these two families did not calculate Shokuhou Misaki like Nara Shikaku. So the two families naturally felt that as long as they expressed a good attitude, Shokuhou Misaki would definitely not settle accounts with them after he came to power in the future. In this way, even if the two families suffered some losses, there would be no problem with family inheritance.

And the performance of the two families, combined with Nara Shikaku's previous performance, many people in Konoha Village have come to their senses.

"The three tribes of Ino, Deer and Chou must have discussed this beforehand!"

"Isn't it? The hundred-year alliance means they are of the same blood!"

"Seeing that the old man is dying, they immediately defected to the new mountain. These three families are really good at seeing things!"

...

As the person involved, Shokuhou Misaki saw that the patriarchs of the two families were so sensible, so she naturally accepted the two families' surrender:

"Senior Chozuo, Senior Haiyi, you don't have to do this!"

Shokuhou Misaki helped the two of them up, and then comforted them:

"As long as your two families walk on the right path in the future, support the work of our development department, and solve the biggest problem facing the village. Konoha will be even more glorious in the future!"

As long as you dare to risk your lives to fight against Sarutobi Hiruzen and are willing to pay for the development of the new area, I promise to forgive the past! Even after the village is well developed, your two families will benefit!

"Shokuhou-sama!"

"Shokuhou-sama!"

Compared to Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi are not as smart, but they are more shameless. When they heard that the next generation of Hokage guaranteed the survival of their family, they called her "Shokuhou-sama", not caring that Shokuhou Misaki was only 13 years old this year, only four years older than their son and daughter.

Such a face naturally caused many people to dislike.

Even Nara Shikaku shook his head secretly, thinking that being called Ino, Shika and Chou with these two families was really a shame for their Nara clan!

Even with the contrast of these two families, Nara Shikaku suddenly felt that his performance just now was nothing. At least he didn't call Shokuhou Misaki "Shokuhou-sama"! Thinking of this, Nara Shikaku even subconsciously straightened his back.

...

Just when Shokuhou Misaki and the Ino, Shika and Chou clans were performing "Konoha Family" on the street, in the Hokage building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the dim ceiling and felt that the situation was over.

Even his base has slid to Shokuhou Misaki's side, what is the point of being the Third Hokage?

In the future, I am afraid that the ninjas of Konoha will subconsciously confirm with Shokuhou Misaki before executing the orders he issued. What is the difference between such a Hokage and non-existence?

At this moment of near despair, a person suddenly walked into the Hokage building.

"Anbu Kabuto Yakushi, what can I do for you?"
