Chapter 379 Let’s talk openly with Hokage

In Tetsumaru Aburame's memory, Minato Namikaze had a warm smile, and he was known as the "Little Sun" before he graduated.

But today's Minato is very different. As the fourth generation Hokage, Namikaze Minato has changed a lot unknowingly. His power has become more and more consolidated, his majesty is getting deeper day by day, and he smiles less and less.

When Minato smiled in front of Aburame Tetsumaru, Minato's smile was still like the sun, but it changed from the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning to the sun at twelve thirty at noon.

Ordinary ninjas simply cannot look directly at such a scorching sun, and may even have the urge to avoid it.

Aburame Tetsumaru was naturally not an ordinary ninja. He calmly stared at Namikaze Minato, chatting with him word by word, waiting for the Hokage to reveal his intentions.

Namikaze Minato came to Aburame Tetsumaru despite his busy schedule. There must be something he wanted to communicate with him, and he also specially wore the Hokage's haori, which meant that he came not as the father of the child, but as the Hokage. identity of.

Finally, Namikaze Minato couldn't help it anymore and took the lead in raising his own question: "Did the Aburame Jounin accomplish anything big when she came back this time?"

"Hokage-sama, why do you ask that?"

"The Aburame Jounin's territory outside the village should be the Kingdom of Tea. A year ago, the Kingdom of Water suddenly united with the Kingdom of Tea, causing embarrassment to the Kingdom of Wind."

Namikaze Minato continued to smile, but the temperature of his smile was dropping. He said: "Before this, the Country of Water and the Country of Tea had taken many joint actions, such as stopping the sale of supplies at the same time and purchasing large quantities of steel and ore. At the same time, a large number of exports resumed four months ago."

"In addition, there are a large number of insects in the two countries." Aburame Tetsumaru added with a smile, "No matter how you look at it, it is all the work of me, the 'insect master' who was once famous for manipulating giant insects."

Namikaze Minato's smile gradually disappeared. He was silent for a while and said, "Yes, it must have something to do with you."

After Zhou Wenming made the decision to adjust the strategic direction of civilization three months ago, Zhou Wenming quietly relaxed the blockade of the Water Country and the Tea Country.

Within a few months, a large amount of intelligence from the two countries had been taken away by the ninjas. Cloud Hidden Village and Iwagakure Village were far apart, so it would take some more time to react.

However, Konoha Village is directly bordering these two countries, has the most comprehensive intelligence collection, and knows the relationship between Aburame Tetsumaru and the Country of Tea, so it will naturally be the first to conclude that these two countries have fallen into the hands of one person.

The Country of Tea is just that. In the ninja world, the impression is that a country with a small population is weak and weak. The Third Hokage also guessed that Aburame Tetsumaru secretly controlled the Country of Tea, and he could tolerate it, not to mention the more generous one. The Fourth Hokage.

Therefore, Konohagakure had previously adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards Aburame Tetsumaru, turning a blind eye even if he disappeared at every turn (when going out with the butler).

But the Kingdom of Water is another matter. This is a big country. Kirigakure Village, one of the five great ninja villages, once belonged to the Kingdom of Water.

Now, the Kingdom of Water has passed several joint chuunin exams and has become the sixth largest force in the ninja world, overwhelming its old enemy Kirigakure Village.

Although Kirigakure Village was kicked out of the Kingdom of Water, its development was not bad after taking root in the Country of Whirlpool, and its performance in all aspects was able to overwhelm Sunagakure Village.

In the cognition of the ninja world, the Kingdom of Water is the third most powerful force after Konoha and Kumogakure Village, competing with Iwagakure Village.

Such a country has a close connection with its own battle strength pillar. What do you want the Hokage to think? Even Namikaze Minato cannot ignore this huge hidden danger.

Therefore, Minato ordered the Hyuga ninjas in the ANBU to monitor Aburame Tetsumaru's residence. He got the information as soon as Aburame Tetsumaru himself returned to Konoha Village, and began to mobilize the ANBU to make arrangements.

Just when Namikaze Minato mobilized the Anbu layout and surveillance and discussed with Nara Shikaku whether to control the Aburame family, his son was invited by Hyuga Hinata to receive a day of training from Aburame Tetsumaru.

This was a very clear friendly signal. Namikaze Minato received Aburame Tetsumaru's signal. He immediately suspended the Anbu's actions and decided to meet Aburame Tetsumaru in person.

When Nara Shikaku advised Hokage to be more cautious, Minato said confidently but bitterly: "Is there anyone in the ninja world who can kill me? Is there anyone in Konoha Village who can face the 'Insect Master' with me? Ninja?"

As the situation in Konoha Village stabilized, both Jiraiya and Tsunade felt relieved. What disappointed everyone in Konoha at that time was that the two of them failed to get together.

This pair is like two hedgehogs. When they are far apart, they feel cold, but when they come together, they prick each other all over.

When in danger, they would risk their lives to protect each other, but usually they would pick on each other's living habits in every possible way. They would quarrel over all kinds of trivial things, and they would tear down the house in two days at most.

Not long after, Jiraiya felt uncomfortable and couldn't stay in the Leaf Village any longer, and his prodigal heart was ready to move again.

At this time, his biggest wish had been fulfilled. In his opinion, Minato Namikaze, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, was the son of destiny that he had been looking for for decades, but he still found an excuse and left Konoha Village to wander.

Soon after, Tsunade also left Konoha Village alone. This time she was relieved to leave Shizune in the village and ran out alone. The legend of the "Big Fat Sheep" began to spread again.

Nara Shikaku did not give up, he asked: "How about asking the Uchiha clan leader to go out with you to meet the Aburame Jounin? Or let Zhiwei accompany you?"

"Inappropriate." Namikaze Minato still denied.

Aburame Shiwei and Aburame Tetsumaru are from the same family. Their superficial relationship is not close, which means nothing at all. Don't let housework get involved now.

The problem of the Uchiha clan is that it is unstable. The top combat power of the Uchiha clan is the Mangekyō, and there are four of them. In addition to Uchiha Fugaku, Aburame Tetsumaru and the other three Uchiha Mangekyō are all very close.

It doesn't matter at ordinary times, but at this critical moment, this is an unstable factor, and it should be avoided if possible.

In the end, Namikaze Minato decided to go alone to meet Aburame Tetsumaru, talk about it, and thoroughly determine the relationship between the two parties. Whether they are enemies or friends, they can make corresponding arrangements.

Even if the talks break down and a fight breaks out, it will be much better than the current chaotic situation. It is really uncomfortable to be in a state where it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy due to internal changes.

Aburame Tetsumaru understands this very well, because this is a manifestation of Xiao Qiang's misfortune.

In this case, as long as they break up, no matter what the result is, it will damage Konoha's power and make Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure and Kirigakure a joke.

The even more frightening situation is that the two sides are in a stalemate. The long-term confrontation triggers a great split in Konoha Village. Finally, a war breaks out, and Konoha Village shrinks into the weakest village in the ninja world.

This is like the Huashan Sect in the Feng Qingyang era. No matter how strong it was at the beginning, it would eventually be reduced to only three or two kittens.

But it's still not the scariest scenario.

The most terrifying situation is that no one has ever stated their position, and the leaders are so chaotic that no one in the entire Konoha Village knows who is theirs, making everyone feel like they are in the minority.

In this situation where everyone was in danger, the common identity of Konoha Village collapsed, and eventually Konoha Village fell apart and became seven, eight, or even a dozen small ninja villages.

Because the individual strength was too weak, they were reduced to puppets of the four great ninja villages. They were manipulated by them to attack each other, leading to complete destruction in the never-ending war.

Faced with Namikaze Minato's question in an extremely affirmative tone, Aburame Tetsumaru had no intention of hiding it. He said: "Hokage-sama is right, the land of water and the land of tea are one, and they both accept me. The commander, Juanniao, the great commander of the Kingdom of Water, is also one of my men."

He looked at the stunned Namikaze Minato and asked with a smile: "So, what do you want to do, Hokage-sama?"

Regardless of the speculations of Nara Shikaku or Namikaze Minato, Aburame Tetsumaru is just the mastermind behind the Kingdom of Tea, and has an alliance with the Kingdom of Water.

But Aburame Tetsumaru said that he was the ruler of two countries. How could this be possible?

Namikaze Minato was so shocked that he even blurted out what he was thinking.

"Nothing is impossible, Minato, you know, I have become different from all ninjas since the late stage of the Second Ninja War." Aburame Tetsumaru said with a smile, "The environment of Konoha Village at that time You also know that there is no room for guys like me who don’t keep a low profile, but I don’t want to just pretend to be dead, so I chose to develop outwards.”

Namikaze Minato calmed down quickly, and continued what Tetsumaru Aburame said: "Yes, with Aburame-senpai's tactics, it is simply too easy to conquer a small country like the Land of Tea without ninjas."

"But after you conquered the Country of Tea, how could you use the Country of Tea, a small country that doesn't even have ninjas, to develop to the point where you can annex the Country of Water in just a few years? I can't understand it at all. It can’t be just relying on those bugs?”

Aburame Tetsumaru raised his head and looked at the sky, then squinted at the Hokage: "It turns out that when it comes to power, even a genius like Namikaze Minato will lock his vision at the ninja level."

"At first, the basis of my power was bugs, but by breaking through the limitations of my thinking, I was able to create the bugs controlled by the 'Giant Bug Force' on a scale of hundreds of thousands and millions, and control them effectively."

"This is the power of thinking." Aburame Tetsumaru pointed to his head, "After the shackles that restrict your own thinking are released, the power of freely flying thoughts comes."

"And I did not seize the relatively wealthy north of the Tea Country, but controlled the desolate south of the Tea Country."

"There I improved the environment, increased food production, adopted abandoned children, educated them, and trained them. These children were my original team."

"Minato, you can't imagine that when there are no damn nobles or hateful rentiers in a new force, even half-grown children can shine brightly and build a miraculous world. s country."

Namikaze Minato was speechless. After being the Hokage for so many years, he had realized the value of the role of the daimyo and the nobles to the Fire Country, as well as the interests that the daimyo and the nobles had through various means.

That is a huge wealth that is much more than the income of Konoha Village. With this wealth, the nobles and daimyo live a luxurious life and can even support ninjas.

The Fire Daimyo provided a large amount of money to Konoha Village, but he also had more money to build a prosperous Fire City and hired a large number of ninjas headed by the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas", said to be hundreds.

Even so, the Fire Daimyo was still not satisfied. He also supported temples such as the Fire Temple that mastered chakra, trained a large number of monks who practiced ninjutsu, and even secretly studied the power of the Nine-Tails in private.

If all the ninjas in Konoha Village have accumulated inheritance, then the ninja power mastered by the daimyo is naturally made with money. Such a lot of money is used by the daimyo to cultivate the power to fight against the leaf village. Namikaze Minato thought about it I feel distressed.

Golden Flash is not a believer, and the Fire Temple has been uprooted by the Anbu and Uchiha ninjas on the grounds that he covets the power of the Nine-Tails.

All the chakra-mastering monks in the Fire Temple were killed, all ninjutsu scrolls were destroyed, and all the Nine-Tails Chakra collection was recovered.

In the end, what was left to the daimyo was a simple temple, which could probably maintain its sacrificial function.

The daimyo declared that the Fire Temple had made a mistake and was not worthy of the Fire Nation's faith. From then on, he never went to the Fire Temple, and he no longer gave the monks a few cents. The Fire Temple declined.

But this does not affect the fact that everyone knows that his goal is to go for power. Without power, the Fire Temple will not have the value he wants, so he abandons it.

Not long after the decline of the Fire Temple, the daimyo began to attract the attention of the Lang Ninja Organization again, recruiting strange ninjas such as the "Xuanyuan Clan", "Prajna Clan", "Evil Fire Brothers", etc., and doubled the number of guardian ninjas. scale.

If it weren't for the loss of daimyo and nobles, Konoha Village's finances would be lacking a lot. As the Hokage, Namikaze Minato really wanted to kill the daimyo, just like the Kingdom of Water.

Aburame Tetsumaru continued to tell how he developed the Kingdom of Tea, how he accumulated strength, and how he annexed the Kingdom of Water.

Namikaze Minato was dumbfounded throughout the entire process. For the first time, he heard the underlying logic of the country's organizational form, as well as the specific implementation methods and processes, and couldn't help but feel excited.

Minato unconsciously planned a lot of future plans in his mind, such as building roads, building street lamps, repairing many street lamps, and repairing many street lamps with long horizontal poles.

"No, there's something wrong!"

Namikaze Minato gradually discovered the problem. Aburame Tetsumaru told how the lower-level national managers were educated and tested, how bugs with basic combat effectiveness were produced, and even how the middle-level commanding ninjas were trained.

But where did the real main force, the top ninja who represents the country's strength, come from? For example, Kuangiao, the great commander of the Kingdom of Water, is a ninja who is undoubtedly a shadow-level master. Until now, no one knows where he came from.

The Yondaime Hokage narrowed his eyes and asked: "Senior, how did you find Kuangiao, so that we can trust each other enough to hand over the Kingdom of Water to him directly. And Kuangiao can also live up to your trust. It has not changed for so many years and obeys you. Policy changes toward water country.”

When Namikaze Minato said this, he clearly used an affirmative tone, but he could still hear a strong suspicion.

What you said is too ideal. One can entrust a great country to the world, and the other cannot change his mind even if he becomes a giant in the ninja world. Why?

Aburame Tetsumaru scratched his head and replied: "Ah, I'll just say that this question is difficult to explain. Wait for two people to come over. It will be easier for you to understand it when we explain it together."
