In the Hokage's residence, Mori Ibiki brought the dying Naruto to Kakashi and told him about what the two advisors did in private.
Ibiki said, "Hokage-Sama, this is within the scope of my authority, this is all I can do. I will have to trouble you to deal with the two advisors."
"Ah, Ibiki, it's really hard for you …" Kakashi thanked him and thought, 'Otherwise, if something bad happens to Naruto, I really don't know how to explain it to Sensei.'
Before leaving, Ibiki said, "Hokage-Sama, this is also my suggestion. Don't let Uzumaki Naruto continue to stay in the village. There is no soil for him to grow here. It's not too late now. If it's too late, he may really fall into the darkness, and what the two advisors are worried about will become a reality!"
The moonlight was cold.
Kakashi sat on the steps and looked at Naruto in front of him, lost in thought.
In just one year, too many things have changed.
The hero of the war has become the object of everyone's disdain. The hero who was originally bathed in the sun has been struggling alone in the darkness, but he still hasn't given up his dream of becoming the Hokage!
His hands were stained with blood, he was used to being lazy, he was often late, but now he is sitting on the throne of the Hokage.
"Compared to the great achievements of Sensei and the ancestors, what I have done is really insignificant. Why … Just because of Sensei's mistake, he should be pushed into the abyss of eternal damnation? What is wrong with this village? "
An unprecedented sense of powerlessness lingered in Kakashi's heart.
He didn't even know … If one day he is also negligent, will he also end up in disgrace?
The people of Konoha put too much pressure on the heroes.
Perhaps the achievements of the ancestors were too outstanding, so the road of the heroes of the later generations is like a bridge on the horizon. Above the head is the entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven, and below the feet is the abyss!
This road seems to be the center of attention, but the heroes have to carefully move forward until they reach the entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven. If they make a mistake and fall into the abyss, they will be beyond redemption!
"Look at what Sandaime did! Why didn't you sacrifice for Konoha? Why didn't you die in battle? "
Look, Sarutobi and Minato are a perfect comparison.
If you are a hero for one day, you must be a hero for the rest of your life. If one day you can't be a hero, you will be worse than a bear! This is the view of the people who are used to and rely on heroes to save them in every disaster and calamity, but …
Heroes shouldn't be compared in the first place!
Heroes weren't something that ordinary people could judge!
While Kakashi was feeling depressed, a man came out of the shadows behind the house.
"Shikaku?"
"Ah, I heard about what happened tonight. I was a little worried about you, so I came to take a look. Sure enough, you've become like this …" Lu Jiu sat down on the steps next to Kakashi.
"You, I feel, you, I, you, you … …."
"Ah, I understand your situation. On the one hand, you have to be fair to the people. On the other hand, you have your former teacher and disciple, as well as your stubborn advisors."
"And you don't have the strength of the First Hokage to pacify the chaotic world, and the merits you made in the battle of Kannabi Bridge have become a stain on your record because of Minato's leadership. The only thing you can take out is the achievements you made in the Anbu, and when Konoha was in danger, you stepped forward and stood in front of everyone … But these resumes gradually can't keep up with the current era."
"You were ordered in the special period of Konoha. The Third Hokage was martyred, the Fourth Hokage fell, Jiraiya and Tsunade were injured, and you had no choice but to be pushed to the front and shoulder the heavy burden …"
"After the reconstruction of Konoha, the life of the people was restored to stability, and the fact that you are the proud disciple of the Fourth Hokage was brought up again, and some people even secretly compared you to Uchiha Uchiha Hagu … They said that the village was saved, but in fact, it was all thanks to the Anbu, and that you, the Fifth Hokage, are nothing."
Kakashi said: "Yes, I am a disciple of Minato, but I am still proud of it! Compared to the Anbu, what I have done is indeed insignificant! But I just want to do my best to change the 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 in the current situation, the Kage's authority is too small. If you can be like the Hidden Ninja Country, some problems can be solved easily."
"Highly centralized authority? You want us to imitate the Ninja Country? "Kakashi was surprised.
Lu Jiu said, "It doesn't have to be an imitation. The Shadow is a very prescient person. It's as if he has seen through the essence of the world. Sometimes I even wonder if he has a god's perspective. That's why he can plan ahead and carry out changes so boldly …"
"Kakashi, there are some words … I only dare to say in front of you. The Daimyo of various countries are enjoying the convenience of being a ninja, but they are also on guard against the power of the Ninja. According to my estimates, in the next few decades, the system of one country and one village will collapse."
"Now the emergence of the Hidden Ninja Country is bound to greatly accelerate this process … Because the Ninja Country has refreshed the understanding of the Ninja's ambition and ability, in order to prevent usurpation from happening around them, the Daimyo are bound to take action, either to weaken the power of the Ninja, or to be extreme like the Land of Lightning, simply razing their own village to the ground!"
"It won't be long … Konoha will usher in a catastrophe. It won't come from the deterrence of other ninja villages, but it will be an existential crisis that can't be tolerated by the secular world, and it will be uprooted!"
"It's not too late to mend the pen after the sheep is lost … The only way to save ourselves is to join the Hidden Ninja Country!"
Hearing Shikaku's words, Kakashi was greatly shocked: "Shikaku, you are indeed worthy of your reputation, that kind of thing, I don't even dare to think about it …"
"I don't blame you, I'm your adviser, of course, I can come up with ideas, but if I were in your position, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the courage, I'm a man with a wife and children, I don't want to be nailed to the pillar of shame of Konoha at such a young age … In short, even if you want to implement it, this matter can't be rushed, let's deal with the internal resistance of the village first."
Kakashi said: "These resistance, my scalp is tingling just thinking about it …"
Shikaku put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder: "It doesn't matter, at least, Ino-Shika-Cho is definitely on your side! And Minato's Hokage is not for nothing, there are still many supporters of Minato in Konoha, but due to the pressure of public opinion, they can't show it. "
"Isn't Konoha's number one Hyuga a living example? If it wasn't for Minato's prompt decision, Hizashi would have been gone and his son, Neji, would have been a caged bird for the rest of his life. They will always remember this kindness in their hearts … When necessary, they will definitely stand up and support you as Minato's favorite 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 if it's in a somewhat painful way …!"
Lin Yu looked at this scene in the dark and murmured: "Nara Shikaku is worthy of being Konoha's number one military adviser, Kakashi, I can't help but use Kotoamatsukami to poach him away from you, but for the sake of us working together in the future, I will keep him by your side, so that he can be used by me …"
