Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Chapter 76 Hiruzen’s reply and Luliang’s decision

Two days passed quietly like this

Just now, Mito Katoyan received a message from the village, and he was sitting there with a livid face. In front of Mito Kadoba sat Nara Shikara, the think tank of this battlefield.

Shirataki is about to be transferred back to the village, and it will take time for Konoha to fill this gap in combat power, and it is unlikely to be possible in a short time.

When Shirataki leaves completely, no one knows whether Konoha will suffer a retaliatory counterattack by Hanzo. By then, they will lack top-level combat power and no one will be able to stop Hanzo, and heavy losses are foreseeable.

In the long run, Mito Kadoyan cannot help but consider the possibility of this situation happening, which is also the fundamental reason why he has been on hold during this period. Doing this is not only a helpless response when combat power is tight, but it can also be regarded as a way to spread suspicion.

Its ultimate goal is to make Hanzo unable to judge whether Shirataki is still lingering in the Rain Country based on Konoha's offensive and defensive trends, so that he will not dare to act rashly.

"I really hope Shirataki can stay here forever..." Throwing the letter in his hand on the table, Mito Kadoren sighed with a frown, and then closed his eyes irritably.

Nara Shikara had obviously seen the village's message. After a few seconds, Nara Shikara took the lead and said, "Hanzo's retreat is entirely because he is afraid of Uzumaki Shirataki. If Shirataki leaves, I really don't understand why the village would be at this juncture." Recall Shirataki.”

Although Shirataki took very few shots, every shot he made undoubtedly hit the lifeline of Amegakure Village. In his first attack, he captured the top executive of Amegakure Village, Xin Yu, alive, allowing Konoha to obtain a large amount of information. The second time he took action, he broke the myth of Hanzo's invincibility without any nonsense, and curbed the rising momentum of the rain ninja. The third time he took action, he directly eliminated the biggest trump card of Yuyin Village, allowing Hanzo to use the rat weapon, and the defense line had to shrink again and again.

The deterrent power of Uzumaki Shirataki has been established invisibly. More and more Konoha ninjas are gradually realizing this and are sincerely grateful to Shirataki for helping them reverse their decline and suppress Hanzo's arrogance.

Even though Nara Shikara never said it explicitly, he still admired Shirataki from the bottom of his heart. After all, in war-torn times, strength was the only criterion for testing the value of a ninja. Although Shirataki is young, his strength has already broken away from the category of genius and he is a real strong man.

Worship the strong, fear the strong, and follow the strong. These are the values ​​​​of most ninjas in the war years, and few can avoid it. It is an honor for most Konoha ninjas to be able to become companions with a strong man like Shirataki.

Even though Shirataki didn't even know them, this did not prevent the Konoha ninjas from regarding him as a source of confidence. Under such circumstances, Nara Shikara suddenly learned the news that Shirataki was about to leave, and it was difficult not to feel worried in his heart, so he directly expressed his doubts.

Mito Kadoyan planned to close his eyes and rest for a while, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but open his eyes and said angrily, "Do you think I don't want to leave Shirataki here?"

"But Shirataki is from ANBU, and Hiruzen won't give me face, what can I do?"

It turned out that a few days ago, Mito Monobu sent a letter to Hiruzen in order to keep Shirataki, and the letter stated the stakes in detail.

As for the piece of paper now placed on the table, it is Hiruzen's reply. Although the sentences written on it are polite and cautious, which deeply shows that Hiruzen attaches great importance to Mito Kadoyan's opinion, overall, there are only two results. The word "No!"

This made Mito Kadoyan very angry, and the depression in his heart was simply unspeakable, but he was unable to do anything. Although he was an elder of Konoha and had great power, he could not do anything to Hiruzen Sarutobi as the Hokage.

Mito Kadenen thought to himself that if he wanted to mobilize Shirataki, unless he gathered all the advisors and held a high-level decision, it would be a fool's errand to forcefully command Shirataki without Hiruzen.

But this is not realistic at all. You must know that in addition to Sarutobi Hiruzen, there is also the difficult Shimura Danzo in the village, and Hanzo and Ume Ninja are eyeing their Konoha, and there is no time at all.

Nara Shikara saw that Mitomon's troubles didn't seem to be fake. He pondered for a while, considered his words, and then suggested tactfully, "Hokage-sama may have something urgent and needs Uzumaki Shirataki's help, but we are here The front line is also very important. Men Yan, can you have a good chat with Shirataki and explain the stakes clearly? I think he will understand your difficulties. "

After Nara Shikara finished speaking, Mitomon Endang couldn't help it. He lowered his face and snorted coldly, "What's the urgent matter? What urgent matter can Sarutobi Hiruzen have if he hides in the village every day?"

This time Sarutobi Hiruzen ruthlessly rejected his proposal, either to make his attitude clear and declare his command over Shirataki, or because he didn't want to be squeezed out. After so many years of being together, who doesn't know who the other is?

Mito Kado was too lazy to think about Sarutobi Hiruzen's nonsense. As for Nara Shikara's suggestion, Mito Kado had already considered it, but in the end he chose to give up. Although it is not impossible to skip Hiruzen and go directly to Shirataki's path, it would mean that he would owe a favor, and if he does this as an elder, the impact will be great, and it may bring negative consequences to Konoha's political situation. Bad effect.

After all kinds of factors, Mito Gate decided to give priority to protecting his own interests. As for how to deal with the current war, Mito Gate could only take one step at a time.

When Nara Shikara saw Mito Katobu showing dissatisfaction towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, he was secretly unhappy in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm, and just said thoughtfully, "If things aren't very complicated for Hokage-sama, Urgent, Elder Men Yan, you should be more confident in persuading Uzumaki Shirataki to stay."

"After all, although Shirataki is a direct subordinate of Lord Hokage, he is also a Konoha ninja."

"I think he definitely doesn't want to see Konoha's companions die in vain under Sansho Hanzo's blade."

What Nara Shikara said was reasonable. Although Mito Monobu had already made a decision in his heart, he still maintained a thinking look on the surface, as if he was seriously considering the feasibility of Nara Shikara's proposal.

After a long while, Mito Kadoyan pretended to come back to his senses. He said to Nara Shikara with a serious face, "What you said makes sense. I will find a way." After that, Mito Kadoba's expression He softened a bit, squeezed out a smile, and encouraged Nara Shikara, "Shikara, you are worthy of being the village's think tank for many years, and you can always hit the nail on the head when it comes to problems."

"With your eloquence, if you go to Akatsuki Shirataki and try to move him with reason and emotion, I think there will be a good chance of success, and maybe the effect will be better than mine." Nara Shikara never expected Mito Gate Flame He would give this task to him, so he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

Unexpectedly, Mito Kadoba raised his hand directly, stopped Nara Shikara from speaking, and his face became serious again, "That's it, Shikura, you go to Shirataki and try. Try to persuade the other party to stay, and remember not to be too tough. ”

"Also, try not to involve me when you are talking, so as not to be self-defeating." After Mito Kadoyan finished speaking, seeing the confusion on Nara Shikara's face, he couldn't help but patiently explained, "If I am involved in this, In this case, Hiruzen will definitely become wary of me and increase his efforts to call Shirataki back, otherwise everything will be in vain. "

Mito Monohan spoke eloquently, his words were logically clear, and the context of the matter was clear at a glance. Nara Shikara couldn't help but be unconvinced. After all, the relationship between various high-level officials in Konoha, including their usual thoughts, methods and strategies, are too far away from Nara Shikara. But Nara Shikara is by no means an easy person to get along with. What the final outcome will be, who will gain and who will lose, we can’t say for sure now.

The asymmetry of information provided Mito Kaden with the opportunity to deceive Nara Shikara. From his current point of view, this deception was quite successful. After Nara Shikara thought about it for a while, he decided to accept this mission, although he really didn't have much confidence.

But whether it is for the companions who get along day and night, or for the final victory of Konoha, Nara Shikara will try his best, because this is his persistence. Of course, Nara Shikara is not a fool, he also has his own plan.

"Montomo, I will try my best." After giving a simple reply, Nara Shikara said no more, nodded to Mito Katobu with a solemn expression, and then left.

Time waits for no one, Shirataki can't tell when he will leave, Nara Shikara knows that he must hurry up. In the blink of an eye, Mito Kadoyan was the only one left in the room.

For Mito Monument, Nara Shikara's action was just a casual move. Success is good, but failure is actually nothing.

Regardless of whether Shirataki finally decides to stay in the Land of Rain, as long as he makes contact with Nara Shikara, then Mito Kadoyan's goal will be achieved. Mito Kadoyan's decision to send Nara Shikara there was a deliberate decision. Decision is not just for persuasion. The more important purpose was an attempt to create a bond with Shirataki that Mito Kadobu had come up with before. It is naturally impossible for a leader like Mito Monohan to bet all his hopes on an outsider.

In fact, not long after Shirataki arrived at the camp, Mito Menyan knew that Shirataki would only stay for a month, and he had already begun to make arrangements. Before the next high-end combat force arrives, Mito Monohan is confident that he can withstand Hanzo's counterattack with his existing troops and quietly constructed defense lines. Although this would only reduce losses at most, and would inevitably force Konoha to switch from offense to defense again, but who told Mito Kadoyan not to be Shirataki's direct superior?

"How lucky you are to get such a powerful combat power so easily, Hiruzen!" Mito Kadoren muttered slightly angrily, and knocked on the table hard, feeling jealous in his heart. The eyes behind the lenses even glowed with a cold light. Affected by this force, the several-meter-wide wooden table trembled and bounced up the letter Hiruzen had sent back, floating gently in the air. Mito Menyan grabbed the letter and tore it into pieces with his muscles. The pieces of paper flew away in the wind and fell at his feet.

"Shikarara, are you really going to find Shirataki?" Yamanaka Yuta caught up with Nara Shikarara, a flash of hesitation flashed across his face. He had been waiting outside the tent, waiting for Shirataki to come out. After learning the situation, he still I couldn't help but ask Lu Liang.

Nara Shikara did not turn to look at his companions beside him, nor did he stop walking. He just replied lightly, "Someone must do some things."

"But we don't know anything about him, and you also know that he is an ANBU..." Before Yuta could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Nara Shikara, "Yuota! Why are you still so narrow-minded?!"

"Have you ever seen any ANBU ninja who couldn't even mobilize Lord Men Yan and had to go out of his way to ask Lord Hokage for instructions?"

"Sanshou Hanzo is so powerful that even Hokage-sama can do nothing to him! But such a strong man retreats again and again regardless of the lives of his men just because of fear?"

"Uzumaki Shirataki, this name cannot be defined by Anbu. I hope you can understand this as soon as possible." After saying that, Nara Shikara ignored Yamanaka Yuda and silently walked forward at a faster pace.
