The night wind was blowing, and the stars were dim. People who had been busy all day had already fallen asleep. On the empty streets of Wood Leaf, there were only a few stray cats passing by. It was particularly quiet and deep. In the darkness, a figure flashed by quickly, like a ghost in the darkness.
'Bang! Bang! Bang! '
In Hokage's office, the Anbu on duty didn't even see the shadow of the person before they were attacked and fell to the ground.
The murderer was very familiar with the situation of the guards here, and from the strength of his attack, he didn't seem to want to kill the Anbu.
'Creak ~'
Pushing the door open, the shadow quickly rushed in and then quietly closed the door.
In the Hokage's office, the shadow quietly opened the drawer of Dynasty Choname's desk and took out a large number of confidential documents and quickly flipped through them as if he was looking for something important.
[Shadow Imitation Technique]
In the darkness, an almost invisible shadow rushed out from the corner at a very fast speed and connected with the shadow of the shadow. The shadow's action of flipping through the documents came to an abrupt stop.
The moonlight shone through the window, and under the silver moonlight, the shadow's face was faintly discernible. The shadow was wearing a forehead protector that blocked the left eye, and a black mask covered the lower part of the face below the nose. Only the right eye of the face was exposed, and there was a bit of mystery.
"Kakashi, what are you doing here?" Nara Shikaku came out from the corner and asked Kakashi.
Kakashi stared at Nara Shikaku for a long time and then said: "Shikaku -san, since you caught me, I have nothing to say!"
"Ugh!" Nara Shikaku sighed and then released the shadow technique, indicating that he had no malice towards Kakashi.
"I understand your idea, Kakashi!" Nara Shikaku looked deeply at Kakashi and sighed: "But now that the situation is settled, that person won't leave any evidence in the office, and even if you find it, it will only lead to a fatal disaster!"
"I also thought so, since I can't stop it, I can only do my best to protect Wood Leaf." Kakashi said in a deep voice: "But now …"
In the end, Kakashi suddenly didn't know how to continue.
As Dynasty Choname's assistant, Shikaku Nara should know more about Dynasty Choname's plan than anyone else, but he did nothing to stop it.
For a moment, Kakashi felt very powerless. He felt that he was very weak, and that anything he did would only result in failure.
Once, when the 3rd Hokage was still alive, Dynasty Choname could only stay in the Wood Leaf Hospital, unable to carry out his conspiracy. However, almost no one could stop Dynasty Choname in the Wood Leaf. The older generation didn't dare to interfere, and the younger generation couldn't.
The only Sannin who could compete with Dynasty Choname was Jiraiya, who took Naruto out of Wood Leaf to practice, and Tsunade didn't care about Wood Leaf at all.
Those Ninja Clans supported Dynasty Choname, even the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans, who were once the most staunch supporters of Dynasty Choname, now stood on Dynasty Choname's side.
Kakashi felt that the Wood Leaf now was very strange, it wasn't the Wood Leaf he was familiar with at all.
"I understand! I know what you want to say! " Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice, looking at Kakashi, his eyes flashed with wisdom.
"But …" Kakashi looked at Nara Shikaku, puzzled.
"At first, I thought the same as you, that Dynasty Choname would bring Wood Leaf to destruction." Nara Shikaku recalled the changes in his state of mind in the past year and slowly said: "But the more I got in touch with Choname, the more I understood him."
"He seems to be crazy, but in fact, everything is under his careful planning and has never escaped his control." Nara Shikaku said calmly, his tone was full of praise for Dynasty Choname: "And the changes in Wood Leaf over the past year also proved that his decision was right!"
"What about this time?" Kakashi asked: "Do you also support his decision to go to war with Cloud Village?"
"Kakashi, haven't you noticed?" Nara Shikaku asked: "The signs of war are actually very obvious. You're not the only one in the village who thought of this. However, they didn't stop Choname, but secretly prepared for war. Choname didn't say anything, but everyone did what he wanted. This is the necessary quality of a Hokage, and Choname did it very successfully. "
Hearing Nara Shikaku's words, Kakashi's eyes flashed with a trace of disbelief.
"Choname, he … is a very capable Hokage, whether it is strength or wisdom, I think he has surpassed all the previous Hokages, even the 1st Hokage!" Nara Shikaku looked at Kakashi and said in a deep voice: "So people who know him believe in him, and think that he can lead Wood Leaf to defeat Cloud Village, and let the village get enough benefits."
"Shikaku-san, you have also experienced war, don't you know the pain that war brings to people?" Kakashi asked in disbelief.
"Kakashi, war is not something that you can stop if you don't want to fight!" Nara Shikaku shook his head and said to Kakashi: "From the past history, even if Wood Leaf wants peace, there will always be other villages who will take the initiative to attack us. Qian Ming, on the other hand, is merely taking the initiative. There is no difference between being forced to fight and initiating a war! "
"For the past ten years, Yunyin has been expanding their armaments, and you should be able to understand their intentions!" Nara Shikaku continued: "Kakashi! Instead of waiting for Yunyin to be ready and take the initiative to attack us, it is better to weaken their strength before they are ready … Kakashi, if we win this war, the ninja world can continue to be peaceful for at least ten years. "
In fact, there is another sentence that Nara Shikaku didn't say.
From the current situation of the ninja world, if Wood Leaf defeats Yunyin this time, the ninja world can get at least ten years of peace.
But that is under the premise that Wood Leaf doesn't do anything else.
"But with Choname's character, I'm afraid he won't stop so easily, right?" Nara Shikaku thought to himself, "But what is he going to do?"
Once Wood Leaf forces Yunyin too much, Iwain and the Sand who feel the threat will inevitably not turn a blind eye, and maybe there will be a situation where the four major ninja villages besiege Wood Leaf.
However, Nara Shikaku believes in Dynasty Choname, and since the Dynasty Choname decided to go to war, he must have made arrangements after the war.
After listening to Nara Shikaku's words, Kakashi still felt that it was difficult to accept this theory, but what Nara Shikaku said doesn't seem to be completely unacceptable.
Yes! In the past, it was always others who took the initiative to attack Wood Leaf, and Wood Leaf was always passive. If war can't be avoided, then why not take the initiative …
Suddenly shaking his head and throwing these thoughts to the back of his mind, Kakashi looked at Shikaku Nara and said with slight disappointment, "If Sandaime-sama was still here, he wouldn't agree to this!"
