135 Epistles
Zhou Jian Min didn't immediately go to the fourth generation Hokage, on the one hand, because her current physical condition was really not suitable to go out.
It's okay if it's in normal times, but she suddenly fell into a coma that night, according to the physical condition of the real Zhou Jian Wen in this era, Zhou Jian Wen really doesn't know if she will faint again as soon as she goes out-
And this time it wasn't necessarily painful, maybe it was a real onset.
On the other hand, in fact, Zhou Jian Min is also waiting.
What the hell is she waiting for...... Naturally, he was waiting for the reaction from the Uchiha family.
The idea that Shujian Min gave to Uchiha Tanji and Bai Lan at the same time was actually under a step for the Uchiha family and the four generations of Hokage at the same time.
As the Hokage, it is impossible for the four generations to not hold the Uchiha accountable out of their own selfishness towards the deceased students; And it is impossible for the Uchiha family to pretend that it is not their business after the four generations themselves have witnessed the writing wheel.
Although the Uchiha family itself was not involved in this matter, it was a disaster for them; But in this era where even if there are beautiful contacts, neither chakra nor ninjutsu can be faked, the other party also uses time-space ninjutsu with the writing wheel eye that is a specialty of the Uchiha family......
Even if the Uchiha family is really innocent, they must go to the Hokage to plead guilty.
For the one who didn't know how, he whimsically learned from the clansmen who brought the Nine-Tails to fight Konoha like the old ancestor Madara Uchiha.
In fact, just like what Zhou Jian said before, even if Uchiha Fugaku herself doesn't necessarily really think that she really has the ability to come up with an idea that can keep the Uchiha family, but since he agreed to Uchiha Tanji, it means that as the patriarch, he doesn't want to see the Uchiha family lose in this accident.
Even the Konoha high-level will only punish the Uchiha clan at most, and will not really want to exterminate the entire Uchiha family.
The method proposed by Zhou Jian Wen is actually a better solution for the Uchiha family and the four generations of Hokage: the writing wheel eye is true - the fourth generation will never be wrong about this; But is that masked man really a member of the Uchiha family......
No one can be sure until they see his true face.
So the best solution at this moment is to label the person who doesn't know if it's really a Uchiha clansman or an impostor directly as an "enemy", for the Uchiha family, although the punishment may not be completely offset, but at least it won't bear the stigma of "following the Uchiha Madara, there is a strange person who came to fight Konoha with the Nine-Tails".
As for the fourth generation, although he may not really believe the statement given by Zhou Jian Min, "It sounds quite reasonable, and there is an actual case in Konoha originally", but for the sake of Konoha's future peace, he will pretend to believe it even if he pretends to be.
Anyway, when the identity of the masked man is unknown, who is he......
Isn't it up to anyone who has the final say?
As long as the people who have the most position to reject this statement, such as the four generations of Hokage himself, believe it, then the ordinary people below, that is, the villagers of Konoha, will naturally believe it.
But the question is......
"Are the Uchiha family willing to accept such words," Zhou Jian Min put down the tube of brush in his hand, and the tip of the purple pen, which was softer than other hard brushes, was full of ink, and it looked exceptionally bright in the sunlight.
"Since Lord Jianwen's rhetoric has helped the Uchiha family out of the siege, what do they have to accept?"
Akagi knelt on the edge of Zhou Jianwen's bed, and when Zhou Jianwen received a "gift" from the system, all the shipwives in the command post basically knew about it.
And then under the guidance of the ship girl who was summoned by Zhou Jian Wen in the second world back then, such as some members of the bombing team and some members of the artillery team, no matter which ship girl is summoned by Zhou Jian Wen in the command post now, she will first be called "Lord Jian Min" very much in line with the background of the times.
Anyway, with Zhou Jianwen's identity background in this world, she can also afford to be called by others.
As for Akagi and Kaga, who were summoned by Funakami at this moment, after the baptism of the second world, they can also judge this slightly complicated situation.
At this moment, hearing his friend Akagi say this, Kaga also nodded, "Could it be that the people of the Uchiha family are more willing to be pointed at by Chifu than to be relieved?" ”
Don't underestimate the public opinion, if the Uchiha family didn't have any response before the four generations of Hokage, to be precise, the Konoha high-level officials punished them, then in the future, the Konoha villagers who were already in awe and disgust for the Uchiha family's identity as a "Konoha Police Force" and the power of the Sharingan......
I don't know what to think of them yet.
Just spitting stars can drown people or something, but it's not groundless.
"Because the Uchiha family also has their pride."
Zhou Jian Wen twisted the two corners of the letter that had just been written on the table, gently dried the ink on this letter, which looked like a relatively high-end letter, before continuing:
"Although this incident is also an unwarranted disaster for the Uchiha family, it is also a great shame for the Uchiha family to fabricate a false clan and say that he was gouged out by the enemy or something."
In fact, there are other ways to completely protect the Uchiha family and protect the face of the Uchiha family while being acceptable to the four generations of Hokage, but she finally chose this plan.
If she wants to say why, she actually wants to take the opportunity to test whether dignity and face are more important to the current Uchiha family, or whether the lives of the entire clan are more important.
If Uchiha Fuyue Ning accepts the punishment of Konoha higher-ups and refuses to give in, then she has nothing to say - as for whether she will lend a hand to the Uchiha family in the future when it is in danger, it all depends on her mood; If Uchiha Fugaku is willing to bow his head first this time and give Konoha a "statement" to the top management......
Even if this statement is false at first glance, it proves that the Uchiha family is not hopeless.
After folding the letter paper in three, he carefully stuffed it into the envelope with the recipient's name already written, and after sealing the envelope and stamping it with his own seal, he handed the envelope in his hand to Akagi, who had been waiting for a long time.
"I'm going to bother you to run this once," she said to her two shipwives with a smile, "and remember to give it to that person yourself." ”
Akagi and Kaga nodded in agreement, and then left Mashu's house in a hurry.
Although the original Zhenzhou Jian Wen did not have the ship's mother by his side, the strange thing is that the servants of the Zhenzhou family are not surprised by the ship's girls who have suddenly appeared in the past few days - no matter how strange their appearance and clothing are, they all seem to be used to it.
"Lady Kento," Akagi and Kaga had just left when another voice appeared at the door of Funakami's room.
Zhou Jianwen, who was about to instruct someone to clean up these pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, directly put aside his original thoughts after hearing the voice, and hurriedly said to the people outside the house, "Come in." ”
"Yes," Fuso, who was dressed in a pink kimono, pushed open the sliding door of the Japanese room, and after carefully closing the door, she sat down on the edge of Zhoujianwen's bed, and then did not exchange unnecessary greetings with Zhoujianwen, and directly began her own report:
"According to Yamashiro, about half an hour after Uchiha Tanji returned to Uchiha's house, Uchiha Fugaku gathered a powerful clansman in the group for a secret conversation, which lasted for nearly two hours, and then Uchiha Fugaku went to the Hokage Building alone."
After Fuso returned Uchiha Tanji to the Uchiha house, the actions of the Uchiha clan were narrated, "Uchiha Fugaku stayed in the Hokage Building for less than an hour before leaving the Hokage Building and returning to the Uchiha house. ”
Because this is the world of ninjas after all, and the Uchiha Fugaku and the four generations of Hokage are both masters among the masters, so Funaken Min asked Fuso and Yamashiro not to get close to listen to their conversations, as long as they can see their movements.
"What was the expression of Uchiha Fugaku before and after entering and exiting the Hokage Building?"
Fusang recalled carefully, "When I went, my face was heavy, but after I came out, I was a lot more relaxed, but I was still a little entangled in the relaxation." ”
Funaken nodded, in her memory, both Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hinata were actually moody facial paralysis - but given the background of this world and the responsibilities they carried, this kind of serious facial paralysis was also very necessary.
It's better than letting the enemy catch a flaw because of your facial expressions, right?
However, the facial paralysis accumulated over the years still made Fuso see the emotional changes, either the other party's facial paralysis has not yet been cultivated to the top, or today's events are indeed a difficult choice for Uchiha Fugaku.
"Thank you for your hard work," although Yamashiro was not present, Funakami still used the word "you", apparently she also knew that spying on the Uchiha family was not an easy task for the sisters, "Go and rest, there is still a lot of work to be done after this." ”
Although Fusang and Shancheng are not ship girls who often go in and out of the battlefield - in terms of actual combat experience, the two of them may not be as many as the six drives, but Zhou Jian Min is quite caring and respectful for each ship girl, and can always make them feel that "the commander needs me".
After all, when Zhou Jianwen was in the port area, he often said that "war does not necessarily happen on the sea."
Although for the ship's mother, the sea is their battlefield and destination; But in Zhou's view, war is all the time.
At that time, the ship girls seemed to understand Zhou Jianwen's words, but now they feel that Zhou Jianwen is much more far-sighted than them, and it is precisely because their commander is such a good and far-sighted existence that they can survive in various environments.
Even if she didn't like war at all.
At this moment, Fusang first smiled shyly after hearing Zhou Jianwen's words, and before the blush covered her whole face, she hurriedly reminded Zhou Jianwen to pay attention to her body, and then left Zhou Jianwen's room after cleaning up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table for Zhou Jianwen and pouring her a cup of hot tea.
Zhou Jian Wen drank hot tea with only the fragrance of flowers, looked at the empty room with only himself, and sighed.
If you can, actually...... She really didn't want to meddle in anything related to Konoha or even this world.
It's a pity that I can't help myself.
On the morning of the fourth day of the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, Minu Funakami, accompanied by his own secretary ship, Veneto, arrives at the Hokage Building, bathed in the warm autumn sun.
She was wearing a goose that looked at the fabric quite high-endThe yellow kimono is wrapped around the neck with a fur collar that is so white that you can't see the slightest variegation, and the kimono is also draped in a heavy navy blue coat.
But when they saw clearly the face of a well-made and valuable boat, which only wore two beaded hairpins on his head; Or after seeing her navy blue coat and the "Qingyun Zhaoshui Octagonal Pattern" that belongs to the Zhenzhou family, the original confusion became clear.
And after that, there are even some worries.
In Konoha Village, the Mashu family's "Qingyun Illuminating Water Octagonal Pattern" is as famous as the Uchiha family's fan family crest, but the latter is famous due to the Uchiha family's status in the village and their ancestral writing wheels; And the reason why the status of the Zhenzhou family, which is quite complicated, can be "carried forward" is because of Zhenzhou's mother-
The princess who can be called a "legend" in the entire Konoha Village.
Although there is only one person left in the Zhenzhou family now, who is Zhenzhou Jianwen? She was a female ninja second only to the three ninjas back then, with excellent brains and outstanding talents, which was well-known in the entire village, if she hadn't been injured later for some reason, she would have been a shadow-level master now.
After retiring from the battlefield, Tsunade Ji was determined that "I can't be a ninja again in this life", but this girl didn't get depressed for long, and immediately decided to abandon the army and start business, and then carried forward the "legacy" left by her mother, the business network with the surname "Mashu".
If it's just that the Mashu family is only rich, then it's nothing, the problem is that she didn't hesitate to sponsor the Konoha high-level who had various financial problems after the two ninja wars, support the lonely old people who lost their family because of the war, and raise children who also lost their parents because of the war.
The reason why the population of the Mashu family is so prosperous today is that the children who were raised by Mashu Jianwen back then were grateful for Mashu Jianwen's kindness and were unwilling to leave when they grew up.
Of course, for those children who want to become ninjas like their parents, Minu Funakami also uses his experience on the battlefield to teach them tirelessly until the other party graduates from Ren's school and becomes a true ninja.
Even if he became a ninja and left the Mashu family, there are still many children who were raised by Mashu Keimin who will visit them when they are free or on the days of the New Year's holidays.
For these reasons, the reputation of the Zhenzhou family and the Zhenzhou Jianwen in Konoha Village is still good, and now seeing her dressed in gorgeous clothes but in winter, the villagers of Konoha sighed that the Zhenzhou family is really rich and there is nothing.
Because everyone knows that it is because the other party is not in good health - even in the middle of summer, Zhenzhou Jianwen is dressed in long sleeves when he goes out.
As for the real cold winter wax moon, Zhenzhou Jianwen would have fallen ill on the bed due to the onset of illness, or she would have spent the winter in a warmer place in advance, and she would not be able to see her shadow in Konoha Village at all.
Greeting people he knew along the way, Funakami walked towards the Hokage's office after entering the Hokage Building.
The two ninjas in the shadows who were guarding the door of the Hokage's office nodded at her in unison after seeing the arrival of Funaka Min, although they didn't say anything because of the rules—obviously with a lot of respect for her.
Zhou Jian Wen glanced at Veneto, and the other party immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the gentle voice of the fourth Hokage immediately sounded in the room, "Please come in." ”
Veneto pushed the door open and stepped aside, and as soon as Funakami entered the room, he saw the yellow head sitting behind the Hokage's desk, almost buried in a mountain of papers.
It seems to be a rather familiar picture, Zhou Jian Wen couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the four generations of Hokage, who was still writing and writing, finally raised his head after hearing the laughter, and when he saw the smiling appearance of Zhou Jian Min, who had walked to the desk and was dressed in cold winter clothes, he scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"Long time no see, Miss Jianwen."
In terms of generation, although he became the Hokage, he is still under the Shujian Min - he is a student of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, and the Shujian Min is a little later than the three ninjas, and the strength is not bad.
Even if she is no longer a ninja, she still has the identity of a noble lady, and Bo Feng Shuimen does not have to call her "Lord Jianwen", it is still after he became the fourth generation of Hokage.
Looking at Zhou Jianwen, who was still similar to his childhood, but obviously had a sickly face, Bo Fengshuimen couldn't help but ask, "Is your body better?" ”
"You're worried, it's been a lot better in the past two days," Zhou Jian Wen smiled, her relationship with the Hokage has always been good, and there is nothing strange about this kind of homely greeting, "I heard that you were injured a while ago, and now you have recovered?" ”
Unlike her, who has accumulated for many years, the trauma of the fourth generation can be healed with medical ninjutsu - and because of Tsunade, the level of Konoha's medical ninjutsu is one of the best in the five major countries.
"It's already much better," Bo Feng Shuimen put down the brush in his hand, and in the case that he could more or less guess Zhou Jian Min's intentions, he couldn't just let this "frail and sick" Zhou Jian Min, who was famous throughout Konoha all the time, stand and talk.
So he got up and said to Zhou Jianwen, "Miss Jianwen, why don't you move to the conference room next door?" ”
Zhou Jian Min, who was able to sit and was naturally reluctant to stand, nodded, and followed Bo Feng Shuimen to the lounge, which is usually used for Konoha high-level conversations.
Each sat down on a comfortable leather couch, and the four assistants served each of them a cup of tea, while Veneto stood upright behind the sofa like a loyal guard.
When the tea had already been served, the assistants of the fourth generation had also left the conference room at the signal of Bo Feng Shuimen, and there was no one else in the room except for the three of them, Zhou Jian Min spoke, "I heard that Mr. Fuyue has already visited a few days ago?" ”
It's no secret that Uchiha Fugaku personally came to find Bo Feng Shuimon, but many people saw him enter the Hokage Building that day, and the well-informed Funakami Minruo said that she didn't know that there was such a thing, which made it seem fake.
"Yes, Mr. Fugaku said that the Uchiha family lost a lot of people in the two ninja wars back then," Bo Feng Shuimen picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip before he continued, "It seems that there is a young man who has just entered the battlefield and witnessed the death of his loved ones and friends on the battlefield to protect himself, and opened his eyes under the intense stimulation......"
"But because of his lack of experience, he was plotted by the enemy, and finally died with hatred, and his eyes were gouged out by the enemy."
He repeated the statement he had heard from Fugaku's mouth, and then filled it up with his own "logical" opinion, "I think the one who manipulated the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha this time is the ninja from another village who dug up that boy, right?" ”
This was not surprising at all, after all, she had been there a few days ago telling her companion about the tragic experience of a young man in the Uchiha family that he didn't even know.
Except for Uchiha Tanjina, who doesn't know whether it's called Gillian or Ah Piao's cousin, who has become "a young man from the Uchiha family who has just entered the battlefield", the rest is simply what she said that day.
Without any flattery or personal embellishment—if it doesn't count when he first enters the battlefield—Uchiha Fugaku thinks it's the best thing to say.
"This time it's really thanks to Miss Jianwen," how could Bai Lan personally entrust Bai Lan to go to the real boat house to walk through the wave wind and water gate not know who came up with this set of arguments, no matter how this statement sounds, at least this fake reason for not working still solves the imminent contradiction between the village leaders and the Uchiha family.
This alone is thanks to Zhou Jianwen.
"It's just a gesture, I just don't want to see the village have internal contradictions after being attacked by outsiders," Zhou Jian Wen waved her hand, judging from her tone, she didn't seem to care how much credit her actions had made, but judging from her content, she actually knew.
If the Konoha higher-ups really want to pursue the Uchiha this time, it will be another disaster for the village.
"After all, it's only been a few years since the end of the war," Zhou Jianwen looked at Bo Feng Shuimen, who was concerned about his words, and then smiled, "But I'm not here today to ask for a reward." ”
When Bo Fengshuimen heard this, his face immediately turned grim, "Miss Jianwen, please speak." ”
"Although the Uchiha family gave a mutually acceptable statement, after all, it still couldn't stop everyone's mouths," the previous words were a greeting for Zhou Jian Min, and at this moment she pointed out the problem that Bo Feng Shuimen was most concerned about.
"The real trouble is yet to come."
