Finally, on the fifth day after the Fourth Raikage Ai proposed his plan to form the Ninja Allied Forces, the Kage from the five Shinobi Villages representing the five countries finally perfected the Ninja Allied Forces that had never been done before. Such a new way of cooperation made every Kage of every Shinobi village eager to dig out greater benefits from it.
And when he saw the Kage of each village, who were originally high in his consciousness, in the face of irresistible temptation, they were like aunties in the morning market. Shikamaru finally understood what Nangong Zhe said to him before.
The Kage is not a saint. The reason why they seem unreachable is just because you haven't walked into their circle. When you really participate in their affairs, it's not difficult to find that they are just ordinary people!
For the sake of benefits, for the sake of status, they are still arguing with each other. Even Watergate, who has always been very aloof in Shikamaru's impression, still fell into the world of mortals in the blink of an eye.
"The so-called Kage … is actually a group of ordinary people!"
Shikamaru's eyes suddenly appeared in front of Nangong Zhe's shadow. Nangong Zhe still looked at him with a bit of indifference and said such a sentence.
"Indeed, no matter who it is, they are just ordinary people!"
Standing behind Watergate, looking at the Kage of each village who were either satisfied or expressionless after the distribution of benefits, Shikamaru said such a sentence in his heart.
Since the benefits have been distributed, the Kage of the five villages gathered here naturally have no reason to stay here. Watergate naturally returned to the Wood leaf village with Shikamaru. The two didn't directly enter the village from the Wood leaf gate. After all, the Five Kage meeting is actually a secret meeting. The villagers of Wood leaf village don't need to know that their Hokage abandoned his duty to protect the village to hold a meeting for power and profit.
Therefore, Watergate and Shikamaru actually entered the Wood leaf village from the entrance specially prepared for Anbu. After parting with Shikamaru, Watergate went directly to his office. In all fairness, Watergate also hopes that he can go home and accompany his family after nearly half a month of absence. The relationship between him and Naruto has just eased a lot. If he can strike while the iron is hot, it will certainly improve greatly.
But Watergate is not only a husband and a father, but also the Hokage of the entire Wood leaf village. The safety of the Wood leaf village is carried by Watergate himself. He would rather his family suffer a little grievance than let the entire Wood leaf village suffer.
Watergate has already made such an awareness when he just ascended the position of Hokage.
Opening the door of his office, Nara Shikaku was sitting on the sofa in the Hokage's office, making comments on a document. It seems that he is too focused on the document in his hand, even when Watergate entered the room, Shikaku still didn't notice.
Looking at the mountain of documents on his desk that are labeled as "Top Secret", "Hokage Only", and so on, Minato felt a headache coming on for a while. Although he authorized all the daily documents to Shikaku for processing, many things can't be handed over to Shikaku just by authorization.
It seems that it is inevitable for him to live in the Hokage's office and deal with these documents labeled as "Extremely Confidential".
"Shikaku, thank you for your hard work …"
Walking to Shikaku's side, Watergate stretched out his hand and slowly patted Shikaku's shoulder. Shikaku seems to realize that someone entered the Hokage's office after being patted by Watergate. Because the voice is very familiar to him, Watergate's voice, Shikaku didn't have any excessive reaction.
Putting down the document in his hand, Shikaku very politely saluted Watergate, and then said to Watergate.
"I'm very sorry, I didn't notice Hokage-sama coming back. During this time, all the documents I can deal with have been processed, and on your desk are the documents that need to be dealt with by the Hokage himself. There are a lot of things to do during this time, and I will have to trouble Hokage-sama to deal with these documents. After all, they have been backlogged for nearly half a month, and many things have been delayed. "
Looking at Shikaku in front of him, whether it's his posture or his words, Watergate's eyes were in a trance. He can be regarded as a ninja of the same age as Shikaku, in the ninja school, on the battlefield, Watergate has competed and communicated with Shikaku more than once.
Perhaps because of their personalities, the relationship between Watergate and Shikaku is quite good. After Watergate became the Hokage, he also let the young Shikaku sit in the position of Wood leaf Ninja Village Staff Officer. And Shikaku obviously didn't fail to live up to Watergate's trust. From an ordinary staff officer, Shikaku walked step by step to the position of Chief of Staff with his own means and wisdom.
Watergate and Shikaku can be said to have become an unparalleled perfect partner in Wood leaf, but looking at Shikaku, who is trying his best to show respect in front of him at this moment, Watergate's heart sank. No matter what kind of person they are, they will be eager to have someone who can understand them by their side, so that they can reveal some of the unpleasant things in their heart.
Originally, for Watergate, Shikaku was such a person. But at this moment, seeing Shikaku's attitude towards him, Watergate knew that he has actually drifted away from Shikaku. All of this is his fault, and Shikaku's own caution. But whether it's Minato or Shikaku, neither of them will regret their decision to walk on different paths at this moment. Perhaps all of this is the inevitable result after Minato ascends to the position of Hokage.
Looking at Shikaku faintly saluting him and then leaving the Hokage's office, Watergate slowly walked to the window of his office and looked at the Wood leaf Ninja Village at a glance. Watergate's mouth was full of bitterness and determination, and his mouth whispered slightly.
"It's lonely at the top …? I often heard people say that those who call themselves loners will eventually become loners. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect that just the position of Hokage would push me step by step to the point of being a loner. It's really … "
