Chapter 414: Divergent Paths

Hearing his father's perfunctory words, Nara Shikamaru said with some dissatisfaction: "I'm already a shinobi, and I'm no longer a child." ”

"Have you shinobi?" said Nara Shikahisa with a smile, "When you can take over my shift, you will understand!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked into the back room, leaving Shikamaru alone sulking.

"There are some things that I hope can be finished in our generation, instead of leaving the trouble to the next generation!"

The three families of Pig Deer Butterfly shared weal and woe, and they used to be staunch supporters of the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, and with Sarufei Sun Slash sitting firmly in the position of the Hokage, the three families also got unexpected benefits.

The Nara family, who monopolized most of the village's medicinal herb business, owned a large number of medicinal gardens and nurseries, and the daily profits were astronomical, bringing inexhaustible resources for the welfare of the family and the education of the next generation.

Although with the strength of the pig deer butterfly, even if the ape flying sun slash did not become the Hokage in the end, there would not be too many losses, but watching the once glorious families slowly decline, or even disappear, this feeling of wandering and helplessness will always make people's sense of instability increase day by day.

After the Uchiha family disappeared from Konoha Village, very few adult family children occupied important positions in the village, and even a few amazing and brilliant characters were idle at home early, and only when there was an order from the Hokage, they would put on their robes again and take up arms to fight for the village and the family. Usually it's just to maintain law and order, do a little trivial thing, and spend more time drinking than doing tasks.

The balance between the family and the village has never been a clear boundary, many large and small families neither interfere in the distribution of Konoha power, nor participate in the competition for the position of the Hokage, anyway, whoever becomes the Hokage will support whom, to the Hokage's disciples and their companions, support but not flattery, if nothing happens, most of them maintain a respectful attitude.

There are also more and more powerful civilian ninja forces, as well as the echo of some declining ninja clans, so that the power of the big clan continues to decline, coupled with the suppression of the hard-line martial arts faction led by Tuan Zang, the pressure on the children of these families is also increasing day by day.

"Maybe the ninja family will merge into the village one day, we can disappear, but we must not be wiped out!"

Thinking of this, Nara Shikahisa also recalled the arrogant remarks of that unruly silver-haired ninja.

"Are you young and vigorous, a strong man who is not dragged down by his family can be more unscrupulous, and he is really envious!"

For this rebuilding of the security department, Nara Shikahisa, who was appointed as a minister, understood that this was a good opportunity. Not only is it a major move to unify the forces of all parties and increase the voice of the five generations of Hokage Tsunade, but it is also an attempt by Tsunade to bridge the relationship between all parties and weaken the power of the elders of the previous generations.

……

A silver-haired man about thirty years old, strolling through the streets of a small village with a shoulder-length black boy of about sixteen. Since the completion of the spectacular Naruto Bridge, the originally lifeless country of waves has gradually begun to gain some popularity, and the convenience of transportation, coupled with the superior geographical location, has slowly made the country of waves a good place for business travelers to settle down.

Half a year has passed since the last time Mizuki came, and Mizuki was a little surprised to see a scene that was completely different from what he remembered.

As for Yukimura, who saw so many people for the first time, he was even more curious to look at everything new around him. It's completely different from staying underground, even the sun in the sky can surprise it for a long time, and if it weren't for Mizuki to stop it, maybe the weak Yukimura would have been blinded by the sun's rays.

"Mizuki, are these all for food?"

"Yes. ”

When you stay underground, you always choose some food that is not perishable and easy to preserve, and naturally it is not delicious. But here, the abundance of snacks completely conquers the stomach of Yukimura, and I want to taste whatever I encounter.

Just as the two were wandering around, a crisp children's voice came over next to them.

"Brother Sasuke?"

Mizuki looked back and saw a little boy in a blue and white striped hat standing not far away, and Yukimura, who heard the voice, also turned his head.

The little boy was none other than Inari, the grandson of the bridge builder Dazna, and next to him was his mother Tsunami, who was holding his hand, and in the other hand he was carrying the vegetables he had just bought, as if he was about to go home.

"Brother Sasuke?" Yukimura asked strangely, pointing to his face, "Are you calling me? I'm not Brother Sasuke, I'm called Yukimura!"

"Recognize the wrong person!" Inari shook his head in disappointment, the young man in front of him was obviously about three years older than the Uchiha Sasuke he had seen, and his hairstyle and temperament were far apart. I thought I saw Sasuke, maybe Naruto was also there, but I didn't expect it to be Sora's joy.

Tsunami on the side bowed slightly and apologized: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to the two of you." ”

"Don't worry. ”

Mizuki shook his head and pulled Yukimura, who was a little curious, out of the place.

"Now, Mizuki, who is Sasuke's brother? Does he look like me, just like you and the other Mizuki?"

"What's this?" Mizuki was embarrassed to spare his head, but he didn't expect to come out and walk casually, there would be such a small episode, "Brother is the name of a boy who is older than himself, and Sasuke is a person's name." ”

"As for your relationship with Sasuke, it's somewhat similar to me and other Mizuki, but it's not exactly the same!

With Yukimura's current comprehension, he can't figure out the relationship at all, and Mizuki can only be vague.

"Well, I really want to see this Sasuke!"

"There will be a chance for you to meet him in the future......"

"That's good. Yukimura smiled innocently, and then in a blink of an eye, he was attracted by the food in his hand.

……

In Konoha Village, Tsunade walked into a super-large database that could only be entered with the permission of the Hokage, and next to the desk surrounded by a large number of bookshelves, a female ninja with black curly hair and red eyes was sitting at the desk looking through the old tall materials on the table in front of her, concentrating on her attitude, until Tsunade approached, and she woke up.

"Tsunade-sama. ”

The female ninja stood up and hurriedly saluted.

Tsunade nodded and asked, "Red, how's it going, is there a catch?"

The originally red eyeballs, because of the excessive use of the eyes, added a lot of bloodshots. Sunset Red shook her head regretfully: "There is no similar record, it seems that that technique is even weirder than imagined!"
