"Sure enough, you two are still more powerful this time." Nara Shikamaru sighed and looked at Sarutobi Konohamaru who was sitting on the ground with a look of sympathy.

To be fair, Konohamaru is very strong, but unfortunately, every time he is ready to ask for a duel, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke always have new tricks.

As a result, I lose quickly every time.

"Hey, Konohamaru, forget it, you have to admit defeat." Nara Shikamaru shouted lazily, "We are bored just watching you lose every three to five days."

After thinking about it, he made a stab.

"If you act like this, it will only make Senior Sister Huali hate you even more."

Konohamaru on the ground turned red when he heard the last words.

"You...you're talking nonsense!" He retorted hastily, "How can I like Senior Sister Huali!"

Nara Shikamaru: "..."

Uzumaki Naruto: "???"

Uchiha Sasuke rolled his eyes, then skillfully took out a small ball of paper and blocked his ears.

"Konohamaru!" Uzumaki Naruto was angry, with a loud voice, "You actually covet my sister!?"

"I...I didn't..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I will beat you today!"

"Ha!? Don't think you can win by attacking me secretly! Come again!"

On this day, the ninja school was as noisy as ever.

Chapter 2 The great ninja who is approachable and approachable

Sarutobi clan land.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in his study, enjoying the happiness of a coder.

He wrote a big word "forbearance" on the paper. He was very satisfied with his performance today.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has three major hobbies in life.

Training grandson, writing brush, smoking.

Add a crystal ball.

This is not a hobby, it's just that as the former Hokage, he has a lot of affection for the village, and he will unconsciously want to appreciate the current grand situation of the village, especially to have a deep understanding of the happy life of every villager.

He will also be very satisfied when he sees everyone's happy expressions in the bathhouse.

Suddenly, his familiar running sound came from outside the door.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a kind smile on his face.

Haha, this naughty grandson, yesterday he was pestered to teach him ninjutsu, so he had no choice but to teach him a soil escape technique.

I must have shown off to my classmates, and now I am satisfied to tell him the good news to my grandfather.

There is really nothing we can do about such a lovely grandson.

The door opened with a clang, and Sarutobi Konohamaru rushed in.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not see a complacent look on his grandson's face, but quite the opposite.

"Konohamaru, what's wrong? Oh, you..." Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously wanted to protect his words.

But it's too late.

"Grandpa!" Sarutobi Konohamaru jumped at the food like a hungry dog, crossed the desk and hugged Sarutobi Hiruzen's waist, "Narutobi, he is so despicable!"

"Hey! Dear grandson, please be gentle!" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the rice paper that had become a stepping stone, feeling extremely heartbroken.

The word "forbearance" in super-level performance can no longer be seen.

Divided into pieces by five horses!

This is rice paper, not steel plate.

"You fought with Naruto again..." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed sadly.

I don't know if it was because of his words or because his grandson fought with Naruto again.

He also likes the child Naruto, he is very energetic and naughty, but he still respects him as the Hokage grandfather, and is relatively well-behaved in front of him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's favorite is Naruto's catchphrase - I want to become as powerful a Hokage as Grandpa Hokage!

This is how Konoha's children should be.

Several years have passed, and Hiruzen Sarutobi is now over sixty years old, running seven.

The signs of aging can no longer be concealed.

His strength has long since declined severely, but he is still the most respected elder figure in Konoha Hidden Village.

The same goes for some of his old buddies.

Akimichi Tofeng suffered from a hidden injury and could no longer contribute to the village as a ninja.

The strong men of Sarutobi Hiruzen's generation have completely withdrawn from the combat power reserve of Konoha Hidden Village.

Today, there are four Hokage-level powerhouses in Konoha who are in their golden age, namely Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Shisui.

The ones who can actually be dispatched are Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Shisui.

But this is only temporary. Uchiha Fugaku, who is over forty, has clearly expressed his intention to retire at the age of fifty. Once Uchiha Fugaku retires, Uchiha Shingen will definitely fill the position of Uchiha clan leader. This seat will probably be his as well.

At that time, he will not be able to leave the village casually.

This requires the hope that a new Hokage will appear among the next generation of ninjas to fill the gap.

At present, the most likely ones are Kakashi Hatake, Metkai and Itachi Uchiha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied with this composition.

It is not a good thing for one family to be the dominant one. It is a good phenomenon to take turns to be the boss if there are highs and lows.

And the number was just right, exactly three people.

For a village like Konoha Hidden Village, the pressure would be great if they could not maintain at least three mobile Hokage levels.

In this regard, Sunagakure Village before and after the Third Ninja War is a typical example.

"Grandpa, Naruto is so despicable. He has learned a ninjutsu that will disappear in an instant." Konohamaru was unconvinced and complained to his grandfather, "I want to learn it too!"

But Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't understand it at all.

Disappearing all of a sudden is not an accurate enough description at all.

"Konohamaru, don't be impatient. Speak slowly." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the unrecognizable desk and helplessly pulled Konohamaru off his body.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi was helplessly playing with his grandson at home, in the Hokage Building, someone who was considered a "great ninja who was approachable" was reading pieces of information.

He read them one by one very seriously.

After reading this, he returned the intelligence documents to the ANBU on the side.

"Shingen, how are you?" The Fourth Hokage Namibun Minato looked at him expectantly, "Should we take some action?"

"Hokage-sama, what action do you want to take?"

"Well, the ANBU has drafted a special warfare plan. You should also take a look." Namikaze Minato took out another piece of information.

Uchiha Shingen took it, glanced at it, and then stopped looking.

"Hokage-sama, I don't recommend this."

Now, he is twenty-seven years old, and ten years have passed since the end of the Third Ninja War.

Ten years of time seemed to have left no trace on his face.

"Well, actually I don't really agree, but I still want to hear your reasons."

"It is only a matter of time that the Earth Kingdom and the Water Kingdom establish a risk control mechanism. To sabotage it at this time is to tell them that the win-win cooperation that the Fire Kingdom said before is false, and it is too ugly."

"Sir Shingen, if we let the traitors help the two countries build this thing, we will not have much advantage." The ANBU minister on the side said, "We are just dealing with the traitors. The two countries have nothing to say."

"Needless to say, just keep it in mind." Uchiha Shingen shook his head, "Calling him a traitor is just imitating the gourd, which is harmful to both countries. It is in our greatest benefit to let them toss."

"How do you say it?" Namikaze Minato became interested.

"Hokage-sama, our market quotation rate is not to set prices per se, but to serve as a transitional role. The purpose is to eliminate the vicious competition among banks that have appeared in the Fire Country and guide the allocation of funds to the production department. Now several years have passed. , the results have begun to show, the village’s task fee income has increased significantly in recent years, this is very obvious.”

Namikaze Minato nodded.

Konoha has recorded the upper and lower floating ranges of mission fee income in previous years. The floating ranges are relatively stable, but the growth has been explosive in the past few years. The main reason is that there are indeed more and more people in the Fire Country who have the financial resources to entrust tasks. .

The proportion of income contribution of the nobility is declining.

“The people recruited by the Land of Earth and the Land of Water use market quoted interest rates as pricing anchors, but this tool is actually really suitable for small and medium-sized organizations that are insensitive to market interest rates and have difficulty pricing effectively in batches. As well as personal small loans." Uchiha Shingen tried hard to explain this mechanism to Namikaze Minato, "The transitional use of this tool is to increase the concentration of banks and weaken the basis for vicious competition in the market. To achieve this purpose Eventually, the role of this tool as a pricing anchor will be weakened, and it can never be used as a mainstream pricing benchmark."

At this point, Uchiha Shingen felt that Namikaze Minato's eyes were a little wandering, so he gave up on making the matter more specific and changed his words.

"In short, this tool was suitable for the Fire Kingdom at that time, but not for the current Earth Kingdom and Water Kingdom. There were not many banks in these two countries, and there was no such basis. If they used this tool to set domestic prices, , will turn into artificial price manipulation, which will bring a big blow to their limited-scale banks."

When he said this, Minato Namikaze understood.

Not only did he understand, he also wanted to add some drama.

"Then let's send some more people over to them?"

"No!" Uchiha Shingen was startled, "Just put on an act. The traitors secretly entered those two countries through the channels of Kirigakure and Iwagakure. We just need to send a stern note to the two villages. Okay, just let them promise that nothing like this will happen in the future."

"That's it..." Namikaze Minato felt a little relieved, "Just send a letter?"

"Yes, just send a letter." Uchiha Shingen nodded, "After the condemnation, this matter has nothing to do with us. After Kirigakure and Iwagakure are in crisis, we will help again. This is in the interest of Konoha."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Namikaze Minato ended the topic.

After finishing talking about this work, he motioned to the ANBU minister to go down and deal with the matter.

He decided to talk to Uchiha Shingen about something else.

Chapter 3 Choosing the Third Person

"Shingen~~" Namikaze Minato opened his mouth and dragged out the familiar tail tone of Uchiha Shingen, "Come on, come on, have a sip of tea, let's talk."

Uchiha Shingen: "..."

After all these years, is it possible that the accent can't be changed or something?

"Hokage-sama, if you have something to say, just tell me." Uchiha Shingen was reluctant to sit down, he wanted to slip away.

Based on his experience over the years, as long as Namikaze Minato starts with this accent, nothing good will happen.

But Minato Namikaze was very persistent. He dragged Uchiha Shingen to the sofa and sat down and started making tea.

"Shingen~~" While making tea, Minato Namikaze spoke again. He thought about his words for a while, and then said, "I actually want to talk to you about something."

"What's going on?" Uchiha Shingen wondered if Namikaze Minato still wanted to talk about the topic just now, and did not give up adding drama.

"Oh, it's not about work." Namikaze Minato was a little embarrassed, "Look, my daughter and your son are about the same age..."

"It's not the same." Uchiha Shingen nodded, expressionless, "They are all little brats under five years old."

"Oh, time flies so fast. They grow up all of a sudden. Look at Naruto and Sasuke. They are very big now."

"There is ambiguity in what you say."

"Look, you're nervous, aren't you? I'm not a bad person." Namikaze Minato coughed, "Look, my daughter is a little older than your son, and my son is a little older than your daughter. Does this count as fate?"

Uchiha Shingen's first reaction was to feed this guy a pound of wolfberry.

Don’t soak in water, feed dry!

Always take your sister with you! What do you want to do! ?

My daughter is only three years old! My son is only one year old!

Facing Uchiha Shingen's extremely sharp gaze, Namikaze Minato laughed dryly.

It's okay not to say it, after all, Uzumaki Kushina made a special move yesterday.

Although he also felt that it was pointless, if he didn't say it, he might not be able to go to work tomorrow.
