After finally sending back the two Elders of Kiba advisors, Mito Menitis and Zhuan Xiao Chun, back, Watergate signaled Shikaku Nara to stay. After closing the office door, Shikaku Nara sat opposite Watergate under Watergate's signal.
"Shikaku, although I know that letting Nangong Zhe become my follower and participate in the Five Kage Summit with me is a good opportunity to show the strength of our Wood Leaf Village, all of this is based on the premise that Nangong Zhe is willing to listen to my orders. If we want Nangong Zhe to listen to my orders, we must pay a price that is enough to move him. Shikaku, I don't know if this price is worth it in your opinion? "
Watergate knew that with Shikaku's high IQ, he would never casually say something that shouldn't be said in front of Mito Menitis and Zhuan Xiao Chun. Maybe, just maybe … Shikaku Nara's goal wasn't to let Nangong Zhe participate in the Five Kage Summit under the double pressure of Bo Kaze Watergate, Mito Menitis, and Zhuan Xiao Chun, but also to provoke the conflict between the Elders of Kiba and Nangong Zhe.
After all, from Nangong Zhe's perspective, Bo Kaze Watergate, who was familiar with his relationship with the Wood Leaf Village, would never use such a stupid move to force him to do something he didn't want to do. Since it wasn't Bo Kaze Watergate, the only people who could force him to do this were Mito Menitis and Zhuan Xiao Chun, who also jointly signed the appointment letter, who represented the Elders of Kiba.
Perhaps this wouldn't directly cause an unpredictable large-scale conflict between Nangong Zhe and the Elders of Kiba, but once this kind of disgust took root in his heart, it was difficult to easily disappear. When the time came, Watergate would pay a certain price to appease Nangong Zhe, and appropriately condemn the Elders of Kiba's rash behavior.
On one hand, this kind of behavior could strengthen the relationship with Nangong Zhe, and on the other hand, it could also suppress the Elders of Kiba, who seemed to be a little restless recently. Wasn't it killing two birds with one stone?
"Of course, it's worth it, and I think that maybe Nangong Zhe won't put forward any excessive conditions. After all, this is a rare scene in the Shinobi World where all the Kages of the Five Great Villages are gathered together. We all know that there is a force behind Nangong Zhe. This kind of meeting will cause a sensation in the Shinobi World, but at the same time, it is also a secret meeting. Any information that doesn't seem so eye-catching will be of great value. Isn't all of this the biggest temptation for Nangong Zhe? "
Sure enough, Shikaku Nara had actually seen through the clues. The so-called price, under Shikaku's description, directly became a qualification for participation that didn't have any practical significance.
Watergate knew that what he needed to do now was to find the right time to appease Nangong Zhe. After understanding what he needed to do, Watergate's heart gradually calmed down. After chatting with Shikaku about some trivial matters, and talking about the performance of Shikamaru and Naruto these days, Watergate even personally sent Shikaku out of the Hokage's office.
After sending Shikaku away, Watergate sat at his desk for a long time without speaking. As the leader of an organization, it's indeed a good thing that his subordinates have extraordinary abilities, but once such a subordinate even includes himself as the leader in his plan, it's not necessarily a good thing.
Shikaku Nara … Shikaku Nara … Because your intelligence is still very useful, I still have a certain tolerance for you, but once one day your sacrifice exceeds my tolerance …
Shikaku Nara, who had just walked out of the Hokage's office, suddenly felt a chill on his back, this feeling full of danger immediately made Shikaku Nara reflect on his words and deeds. The more he thought about it, the more his heart palpitated, he seemed to have said too much and thought too much. Over the years, as a Wood leaf, Watergate's thoughts have become more and more unpredictable. But just now, he still subconsciously treated Watergate with the same attitude he used to treat Watergate, it's a bit dangerous to do so.
The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, once he acts too smart, and even uses his intelligence in places where it shouldn't be used, he will really be abandoned. Shikaku Nara is very good at playing Shogi, in a game of Shogi, patience and intelligence are equally important.
Be sure to remember! Be sure to remember!
…
In Nangong Zhe's mansion, Nangong Zhe was holding a mission scroll in his hand, the expression on his face can be said to be wonderful. He didn't expect that although he lived in the Wood leaf, he would actually receive a mission scroll signed by both the Hokage and the elders.
"Did the Fourth Hokage lose his mind?"
After taking the mission scroll from Nangong Zhe with a strange look on his face, Mashiro couldn't help but say to Nangong Zhe. After all, at the back of the scroll, Minato Watergate's name was written so conspicuously. But Nangong Zhe shook his head and pointed to the signatures of Mito Menitis and Zhuan Xiao Chun, which were closely followed by Minato Watergate's signature, to Mashiro.
"Mashiro, the real point is here."
Nangong Zhe's eyes were full of wisdom, and he said to Mashiro:
"It seems that the Elders of Kiba, these arrogant politicians, are going to court death or provoke someone they shouldn't provoke, right? This scroll is a ploy to create estrangement between me and the Elders of Kiba. The person who can come up with such a ploy in the Wood leaf is very likely to be the current head of the Nara Clan, Shikaku Nara. Who doesn't know that after the birds are gone, the hound is cooked. The more Shikaku Nara does now, the more miserable his end will be. "
"After Watergate ascended to the position of Hokage, he was no longer a simple ninja like before. Now he is a cold-blooded and ruthless politician, as long as it is to eliminate threats and obtain benefits, there is almost nothing that Watergate can't do. I hope that Shikaku Nara won't be so short-sighted, he will really see that the current Watergate is not the same as before. "
After Nangong Zhe sighed, he looked at the order to become the follower of the Fire Country's Hokage, and his eyes were shining.
