179 Brainwashing Effect
As soon as Bai Lan's words came out, the expressions of the people in the room suddenly became varied.
Although Bai Lan didn't know anything about the "Xiao" organization over the years, there were some things that Zhou Jianwen and Bo Feng Shuimen hadn't mentioned to him at all, not to mention the secret matter of the attack and resurrection of the wind shadow.
However, the object of Bai Lan's inquiry was not Zhou Jian Min, Tsunade and Jiraiya, so the expressions of these three people were strange, and they still didn't answer anything.
Instead, he handed over the right to speak to Bo Feng Shuimen, who was the fourth generation of Hokage.
After Bai Lan finished saying this sentence to Bo Feng Shuimen, her eyes swept around the room, and then she looked at Zhou Jianwen, who was sinking like water but didn't say a word.
Noticing Bai Lan's gaze, Zhou Jianwen glanced back at him without being salty, then picked up the teapot placed in the center of the table and shook it gently, and after finding that there was still some hot water in the teapot, he refilled himself with a cup of tea, and then picked up the teacup and tasted it silently.
Seeing that Zhou Jianwen had no intention of taking care of herself, Bai Lan was not annoyed at all.
On the contrary, the smile on his face was even greater than the moment he walked through the door.
Bo Feng Shuimen is also a person who wears a smile on his face all year round, but he always feels that Bai Lan's smile is sometimes too unpredictable, and at this moment, looking at Bai Lan, who has just said amazing words, is smiling, and he is more and more unsure of how to respond.
Fortunately, Bo Feng Shuimen is not a stupid person, and after a subtle silence for a while, he immediately reacted.
He glanced at his assistant, who was still standing in the doorway, but was a little overwhelmed by the tense atmosphere in the room, motioned for the other party to close the door and leave, and then asked Bai Lan to sit down with his usual gentle smile.
There were a total of four sofas in the conference room, two of which were longer two-seaters, and they were occupied by him and Jiraiya, as well as Tsunade and Minoru Funaya; So Bai Lan sat down on the small one-seater couch.
On the right-hand side of the small sofa was the Bo Feng Shui Gate that had just signaled him to sit, and on the left-hand side...... Naturally, it is sitting on the boat stream opposite the wave wind and water gate.
Zhou Jianwen turned a deaf ear to Bai Lan's gaze that stayed on him intentionally or unintentionally, as for Bai Lan...... After seeing Zhou Jianwen's ignorance of him, he smiled more and more happily.
Which of the people sitting in this room is not a human spirit? Naturally, he also noticed the undercurrent surging between the two people.
But the relationship between Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan has been in such a delicate state for so many years, no matter how worried and discussed by others, these two have no intention of improving or directly tearing their faces.
I don't know whether this relationship is good or bad, but the two of them have a tacit understanding at this point.
Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan maintain this delicate relationship that cannot be shaken, and let others secretly figure it out on the side, but these predecessors are not the closest partners with these two people in the end, and they don't have much to say.
Actually, it's not that they really don't want to interfere, but the problem is that Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan are not ordinary people, these two are thieves and elites, and they can always understand their intentions at the beginning and then use thousands of methods to block what they are about to say next, so over time they will learn to be silent.
In fact, apart from them, it is not that no one is suitable to open this mouth to find out what they mean, and the most suitable person is naturally Bai Lan and Zhou Jian Min's former companion Uchiha Tanji.
But the problem is that this most suitable person seems to have reached a strange tacit understanding with his two companions, not only does he not mean to ask, but even maintains a posture of not being surprised by this from beginning to end, which makes people feel even more strange.
If you use two to describe the relationship between Zhou Jian Min, Bai Lan, and Uchiha Tanji, it is probably "toxic".
This class is really toxic.
Now that Bai Lan has just finished saying something that is enough to make people's complexion change greatly, his eyes are fixed on Zhou Jian Min, but Bo Feng Shuimen can't really make a look of indifference to Bai Lan's words.
He waited for a while, and after seeing that Bai Lan still didn't plan to take his eyes off Zhou Jianwen, he could only cough lightly a few times, and then said to Bai Lan, who finally realized what the occasion was here, and then looked at him with a smile, "Mr. Bai Lan is really well-informed. β
The operating system of the "root" department has always been independent of the Hokage organization, and is not under the jurisdiction of the Hokage and its shadow department. In other words, if there are no accidents, even the Hokage does not have the information of the members of the "root" department.
The activities of the "roots" are also not known to the Hokage.
Now that Bai Lan will know about the Kazekage's side, the only source of information is the members of the "root" department under his command.
Fortunately, these words were said by Bo Feng Shuimen, who is still a good person in nature, if it came from the mouth of others, I am afraid that everyone would think that he was sarcastic about Bai Lan's hand stretched too long.
Although this is indeed the case.
Bai Lan's face did not change after hearing Bo Feng Shuimen's words, but said with a smile, "After all, the affairs of the 'Xiao' organization have to be worried, and Fengying is a human pillar force, so naturally we should pay more attention. β
I can't hear anything wrong with this high-sounding statement, although Bai Lan's attention to the "shadows" of other ninja villages is a little subtle, but if you think about it carefully, the "shadows" of the five major countries have always been the focus of attention of others, as long as they don't make any big moves, they can be regarded as normal intelligence gathering.
Bo Feng Shuimen frowned slightly, but he didn't reprimand Bai Lan's behavior in the end, he just asked, "How much does Mr. Bai Lan know now." β
This is to test how long Bai Lan's hand is stretched out.
I don't know if Bai Lan heard it, and his answer to Bo Feng Shuimen's words that were obviously trapped, "I heard that Kakashi-kun was a little injured in the duel with the members of the "Akatsuki" organization? β
Even if this matter is the Hokage's Bo Feng Shuimen, he only learned about it after the news came from the Sand Ninja Village.
Bai Lan's news is really well-informed.
The corners of Zhou Jianwen's lips curled upwards silently, but she was holding the teacup to cover up with her tea, so she didn't let other people with different moods at the moment see any flaws.
When Bo Feng Shuimen heard Bai Lan say this, he had some doubts in his heart but seemed to have guessed something, so he asked, "What does Mr. Bai Lan mean?" β
It wasn't going to be like the advisors who came to complain to him about letting Naruto go out on business, right?
"Now, after Sasuke-kun and Naruto-kun return to the village, the seventh class has also returned to the combination of three years ago," Bai Lan said slowly and methodically to Bo Feng Shuimen, "The seventh class is now...... No, Kakashiban is a four-person squad led by Kakashi-kun, and once the captain falls, the actions of the other members will also be put on hold......"
"And the peculiarities of the members of Kakashiban make it not easy for them to make long-term combinations with other classes."
Zhou Jianwen was a little tired of the other party's way of speaking.
Although she is actually eight taels in a radius compared to Bailan, it is precisely because they are quite similar to each other that they sometimes get bored, "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't play any dumb riddles." β
She put the teacup in her hand on the coffee table and said what the others present had long wanted to say.
In fact, Zhou Jianwen didn't know what Bai Lan wanted to do, but these words were better than letting Bai Lan say them herself rather than coming out of her mouth.
Hearing that Zhou Jianwen finally spoke, the smile on Bai Lan's face immediately became a little bright, "Since Jianwen has said so, then I won't sell it." β
After seeing that Zhou Jian Wen unceremoniously blocked Bai Lan's words that were tired of listening, and Bai Lan reacted like this, Tsunade and Jiraiya immediately glanced at each other at the same time, and then they saw from each other's eyes that they agreed with Zhou Jian Min's behavior, and more information:
- Only when Zhou Jianwen speaks, Bai Lan will become honest.
"The members of Class Seven have just reunited, so it's probably not a good idea to just suspend their activities like this," Bai Lan said to Bo Feng Shuimen on her right, apparently guessing Bo Feng Shuimen's thoughts after hearing the news that "Kakashi is injured".
"I have a subordinate here, who is about the same age as Naruto-kun, but he has a bit of a personality problem," Bai Lan said to Bo Feng Shuimon leisurely, "I always wanted him to become normal but it didn't seem to work, so I wanted him to have more contact with his peers to see if he could improve." β
Hearing Bai Lan's high-sounding words, Zhou Jianwen immediately laughed silently.
The sarcasm on her face was not concealed in the slightest, but the other people present were all thinking about Bai Lan's words at this moment, so no one noticed her mockery at the moment.
To be able to put people in the seventh class for surveillance so euphemistically, I'm afraid only Bai Lan can do it.
As soon as the advisory group that opposed Naruto, who was a nine-tailed pillar force, went out on a mission, he ran in on the back foot to mention the matter of going to the seven Bansai people, was it because Bai Lan had been in Konoha for so many years and his IQ was offline, or did he think that Konoha was stupid?
If he was really worried that his subordinates had bad brains and no emotional intelligence, then what did he do in the early years?
You must know that after Naruto followed Jiraiya and Sasuke went out to practice with Tanji, only her daughter and Kakashi were left in Class 7.
At that time, the seven Bansai people were not transferredTeach, what are you running to join in the fun at this time?
Do you practice mouth escape for Naruto?
Zhou Jian Wen glanced coldly at Bai Lan, who was waiting for Bo Feng Shuimen's reply, thinking that the other party would not be able to really owe his IQ over the years, he heard Bo Feng Shuimen nod and said after pondering for a while, "The three members of Kakashiban's team are all at the level of Nakashinobi, and it stands to reason that they can also lead the team." β
Back then, Kakashi led the seventh class, which was the relationship between the guidance of the upper shinobi and the lower shinobi who had just left the ninja school, but now it has become the relationship between the leading upper shinobi and the ordinary team members.
If Kakashi leaves the team due to injury, it really won't prevent them from continuing to carry out their missions - at most, their overall strength has decreased, but as long as they don't carry out some high-risk missions, it doesn't matter.
Besides, can the people who come out of the "roots" be ordinary?
Probably having an idea in his heart, Bo Feng Shuimen didn't delve into Bai Lan's request that obviously had other intentions, but nodded briskly and agreed, "Then so be it, before Kakashi recovers, let your subordinate temporarily join Kakashiban and Naruto on their mission." β
Tsunade and Jirai, who also guessed Bai Lan's intentions, were a little surprised by Bo Feng Shuimen's decision, but after all, Bo Feng Shuimen was the Hokage, so they didn't say much about it.
"It's really good that Shuimen-kun can agree," Seeing Bo Feng Shuimen, he agreed to his proposal after only thinking about it for a while, and Bai Lan's smile looked quite relaxed and pleasant, "Then I'll let him know when I go back later." β
Bo Feng Shuimen smiled and nodded, Bai Lan didn't stay any longer when he saw this, just said a few more words to Bo Feng Shuimen and got up to leave.
However, just when he had already walked to the door, Zhou Jianwen, who had only spoken one sentence from beginning to end, spoke again and stopped Bai Lan, who was about to open the door and leave.
"Speaking of which...... Hakuran," in the somewhat dimly lit room of the Hokage Building, Minu Funa's expression looked as indistinguishable as her emotions, "What is the name of the Root member who is about to join Kakashiban?" β
"Well, I don't think I told you yet."
Bai Lan, who had already put her right hand on the doorknob, smiled at the people in the roomβZhou Jianwen to be precise.
"Then let's call him Sakai."
>>>
Class 7 - No, it should be said that the members of Kakashi Ban returned to the village three days after Bo Feng Mizumon and the others received the news from the Sand Ninja Village.
After sending Kakashi Hagi, who was unable to do anything due to side effects, to the hospital after using the Sharingan, the three members of Class 7 came to Bo Feng Shuimon's office to report on the mission.
After listening carefully to the three children's reports, including how they killed the two members of the "Xiao" organization, Bo Feng Shuimen informed them that there were temporary members of the seventh class to join.
This is not easy for the members of Class 7, who have always been relatively united, to accept it, but it is more important to be able to continue to carry out tasks with their friends than to stop some tasks.
So Naruto Uzumaki and the others had mixed emotions and had to accept such an arrangement.
However, after Bo Feng Shui Men mentioned that this new member was from the "root" department, the faces of the three of them suddenly became as colorful and gorgeous as the sky when the sun was setting.
As the only son of the Hokage or a descendant of an extended family, the three children of Class 7 are no strangers to "Root" and Bailan.
Especially Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, who were often able to meet with Shiran because of their elders when they were younger, and they also knew what kind of person the elder with white hair, vine purple eyes, and that trademark smile was.
Speaking of those who came out of the organization under his command......
Is it really okay?
Bo Fengshuimen probably saw the confusion of those children, he sighed secretly in his heart, in the end, he still didn't say Bai Lan's intentions, but just said, "The people who can let Mr. Bai Lan take the initiative to send him to Class 7 are probably his subordinates who value more." β
Bo Feng Shuimen's sentence is not a guy, if it weren't for Bai Lan's valued subordinates, how could he be sent to Class 7 to do such a task?
"But listening to Mr. Bai Lan, there may be some personality problems with that member of the "root" department," Bo Feng Shuimen smiled bitterly, although he didn't know what kind of personality problems the member of the "root" department had, but listening to Bai Lan's words was probably not easy to deal with.
"I hope you can get along with him."
The three children present are either related to Bo Feng Shuimen or have been watched by Bo Feng Shuimen since childhood, and for this elder who has always been gentle and easy to talk in private, they will say whatever they want, and they will not hide it too much.
So even if Bo Feng Shuimen was wearing the Hokage's big coat and sitting in the Hokage's office now, they wouldn't have a conversation with each other in a too formulaic tone when no one was around.
What's more, in the end, Fang Caibo's words were already replaced by the gentle tone of the elders to the juniors, not the Hokage's to the three ordinary middle ninjas.
Facing his father, who had subconsciously switched to elder mode, Naruto Uzumaki said without thinking, "Even if he has a problem with his personality, it won't necessarily be more difficult to deal with than Sasuke, right?" β
He and Sasuke Uchiha have known each other for so many years, so he naturally knows that this little character is so bad that it can't be worse, so awkward that it can't be awkward anymore.
For Naruto Uzumaki, there will probably be no more awkward and difficult person in this world than his own Uchiha Sasuke.
Hearing Naruto Uzumaki's "slander", Sasuke Uchiha, who had been expressionless since hearing Bo Feng Shuimon's words, didn't care that the other party's parents were still present, and directly gave his companion an eye knife, and his expression looked as fierce as he could.
"Hmph, it's better than someone who gets hot-headed no matter what happens, and then rushes straight to it regardless of anything."
This series of words until someone present also made Naruto Uzumaki, who was very self-aware, directly shouted at the other party, "Hey! Sasuke! What do you mean! β
Sasuke Uchiha squinted at him, "That's what you look like now." β
Bo Feng Shuimen, who also has a deep understanding of the personalities of these children, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, and just before he could sigh out all of his voice, the fist of Haruno Sakura, who had been silent, was also sent to the heads of the two people.
"That's enough, you two, what do you look like in front of Hokage-sama."
Sakura Haruno, whose strength has improved a lot in all aspects compared to three years ago, gave Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha a punch to each other, and then scolded the two companions who were covering their heads with a cold face.
Although Bo Feng Shuimen has just changed to parent mode, in the end it is still the Hokage, and this is also the Hokage's office, not a place for Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha to fight, "If you really want to quarrel, I will go to the training ground later, even if it is directly pinched, I will not care about you." β
As soon as Sakura Haruno mentioned the training ground, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, who originally wanted to protest against this girl's not gentle behavior at all, were directly silent.
For they remembered again the reign of terror that day when the girl threw a whole land with her fist.
Seeing Sakura Haruno stop Naruto and Sasuke's bickering in time, Ha Feng Mizumon also showed a relieved smile - even if this method of stopping was based on fists.
"Speaking of which, Lord Shidaime," after seeing Naruto and Sasuke rub their heads for a while and stop making a sound, Sakura Haruno looked at the wave of wind and water gate who was sitting on the main seat and looked at their interaction with a smile, "Is that member of the 'root' department who joined temporarily really recommended by Lord Brando himself?" β
Bo Feng Shuimen didn't expect Haruno Sakura to be entangled in this matter, but he still nodded, "It's true that Mr. Bai Lan personally recommended it, I heard Bai Lan say that his name is "Sakai", is there any problem?" β
"Hmm...... If it's a subordinate of Lord Brand, then I'm afraid the personality will really be a bit of a problem. β
"Why do you say that?"
Sakura Haruno looked at the two companions beside her who looked confused, and then at Bo Feng Shuimen, who was also puzzled by her words, and then remembered that Bai Lan's posture in front of her adoptive mother at Mashu's house seemed to be a little different from his words and deeds when he was outside.
"It's not a question of getting along well or not," Sakura Haruno paused, then showed a complicated expression.
She glanced at the three people in the room again, and then said with an embarrassed face at the urging of Naruto Uzumaki, "Actually, this is also the evaluation I heard from Lord Jian Wen back then, she said that Lord Bailan's brainwashing skills are particularly strong, and the subordinates he taught, especially his cronies, are loyal to him, that is, ......"
That's commendable for a leader, butβ
"What's it?"
Although the word "brainwashing skill" doesn't sound like a compliment, no matter how you hear it, it doesn't have much to do with the member who is about to join Kakashiban, right?
"Uh......" Sakura Haruno continued with some hesitation in response to Naruto Uzumaki's question, "It's that the subordinates under his command are either in a bit of a mental condition, or there is a problem here." β
With that, she raised her right hand and pointed her index finger toward her head.
"Lord Jian Wen said that those who will be brainwashed by Bai Lan and succeed are all fools."
- So how much you hate Mr. Blanche, Miss Jianwen!
