Chapter 457: There's a Thing Called 'Hope'
The words of Bo Feng Mizumon and Uchiha Kai did not shy away from Nara Shikahisa in the slightest.
Because what Nara Shikaku knows is definitely much more than others think!
In fact, it is precisely because of this that Nara Shikahisa has always known about the affairs of Uchiha Kai.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get involved in Konoha's secret business with the Misty Kazuya clan.
What they are doing is simply 'the Prime Minister, the Cabinet Chief, and the Minister of Defence, jointly instigating a coup d'Γ©tat in a hostile country, and also selling arms and materials to support it'!
What Uchiha Fugaku's performance on the front line is, Nara Shikahisa knows very well, and Uchiha Kei's performance in the fog will not be forgotten.
If these two people are on the battlefield together, facing the four generations of Thunder Shadow and the Eight-Tailed Human Pillar Force, there will basically be no problem.
Even.....
Nara Shikaku has not forgotten that the Yamanaka Masato guy is so fragmented that he doesn't dare to say anything at all.
And the Konoha border area, the completely deformed landscape.
Now he was 100% sure that it had something to do with the soon-to-be-seventeen-year-old boy in front of him.
Nara Shikaku didn't dare to say anything, after all, the reason why Yamanaka Masato didn't dare to speak at all was in addition to the terrifying strength of Uchiha Kei.
I'm afraid that Bo Feng Shuimen is also involved.
The three of them talked a lot, whether it was the situation on the battlefield or some other things.
It wasn't until the end of the afternoon that the three of them left the Hokage building.
Uchiha Kei walked directly towards his home, and if there were no accidents, he was probably about to go to battle.
The three generations of Hokage have returned, and they have been sent directly to the medical department, and they are now being treated with all their might by Konoha.
To be honest, Uchiha Kai really wanted to run over in the middle of the night and pull out the old man's oxygen tube.
But after thinking about it, Uchiha Kai felt that this approach was still forgotten.
If this happens, it will be a big scandal.
Although Uchiha Kai can not care about these things, he is also sure that this kind of thing will be cleaned up with himself.
If necessary, he could even find someone to come out and be a scapegoat.
But in a high position, although his methods are still bloody and dark, he also cherishes his feathers.
On top of that, he wouldn't be afraid of the three generations of Hokage now.
"Minister Qi, please wait."
Just as Uchiha was full of thoughts, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Uchiha Kei looked back slightly, only to find that it was Nara Shikahisa chasing after him.
"Minister Shikaku." Uchiha Kai nodded at him calmly: "I don't know what Minister Lujiu is looking for me?" β
"Minister Qi, don't be so cold, right?" Nara Lujiu said helplessly: "Okay, okay, there are indeed some things I hope to talk to Minister Kai, I wonder if Minister Kai is free tonight?" β
Talk about?
Uchiha tilted his head, thought for a moment, and simply nodded.
He was really a little curious, what Nara Shikahisa was going to say to him.
However, after thinking about it, I am afraid that it is inseparable from this reform.
Although Nara Shikahisa voted for Bo Feng Shuimen, the reason why he did this is probably largely because he wants to balance.
However, he probably never expected that Hinata Hinata would actually make such a decision and move.
Of course, the Nara clan didn't actually have any real losses, and it was a key factor in his decision, right?
Although the Nara clan also uses some ninjutsu, they are best at their own family's secret arts.
For them, this secret art is the foundation of their footing.
Just like Yamanaka and Akimichi, they are the same as the Nara clan.
Although both of them are ministerial-level figures, both of them are quite close to the people in the ninja group.
So they didn't look for a big hotel or anything like that, but just a tavern.
When the two of them appeared in this tavern, they suddenly quieted down this very lively tavern.
The ninjas in it were basically civilian ninjas, and when they saw these two people, they first felt incredible, and then burst out with incredible enthusiasm.
Because these two people are the ones who choose to support reform!
"Isn't that a good feeling, Minister Lujiu." Kei Uchiha and Shikaku Nara found a quiet corner to sit in the back, and he said with a smile on his face.
"The human heart is sometimes so simple, no matter what your purpose is, what you do for them they will remember and be grateful in their hearts.
Maybe my idea is despicable, but that's the truth. β
"No, this is very realistic, and of course thank you Minister Qi for the reminder." Nara Shikaku didn't pay much attention to it, and he sighed slightly.
"Seriously, I really didn't expect that my normal choice would cause such a big opinion from Minister Qi.
If it weren't for the fact that they never had any problems in Lucheng, I'm afraid I would have thought that I had been classified as a hostile target by Minister Qi. β
"Because I do hate your way of doing it, but who doesn't have a set of rules for survival." Uchiha Kai said unconcernedly.
"It's just that if you do that, I can't fight back? After all, I really hate.
But I didn't bring these emotions into it thoroughly, otherwise it wouldn't be something inconsequential.
Don't let Kenta Imai keep in touch with you, and those people from the security department may also have to evacuate. β
"Minister Qi is really reckless." Nara Shikahisa also laughed.
"However, Minister Qi's grasp of the Ministry of Security is like an iron curtain, and there is also the connection of the Thousand Hands Clan.... But why hasn't Kentaijun changed his surname to Qianshou so far? Forget it, it's a personal choice, I shouldn't ask. β
Nara Shikaku can indeed feel that the Uchiha Kei has built the guard department like an iron curtain.
Judging from some simple things reported by the same clan who served in the guard department, I am afraid that my own clan would not dare to report some things that went too far.
It's an absolute mastery, and it's not something that everyone can do.
However, Nara Shikahisa doesn't want to care about other people's affairs, and he doesn't bother to care about so many messy things now.
"Thank you Minister Qi for taking care of him, that guy in Lucheng has made such a great contribution, and he has also received such a great command, without Minister Qi's support and help, he would not have grown to this point."
Nara Lujiu smiled, and then he said slowly: "I don't know what Minister Kai plans to do in the future, this guy from Lucheng ....."
"Of course I'll use it well." Of course, Uchiha Kai understood what Shikaku Nara meant.
I have to say that this guy takes really good care of his clansmen.
But Uchiha Kei won't give too many promises, because this guy doesn't give any promises either.
"I see." Nara Shikahisa was not disappointed, he got a glass of wine in his cup: "Minister Kai, I'm sorry that you are not yet a complete adult, so I won't give you a drink, don't mind?" β
"It's fine." Uchiha Kei nodded: "However, Minister Shikaku brought me here, there should be something more important to say, right?" β
"I guess now should be a good time.....
.....
"Of course, I do have a lot of things I want to talk to Minister Kai about."
Nara Shikahisa took a sip of the sake that had been steamed in the glass, and then exhaled slowly, the fragrance of the wine coming out of his mouth with a puff of mist.
Drinking this kind of wine on this day really made him feel comfortable.
But he didn't drink too much, he really wanted to have a good talk with Uchiha Kai, especially about this reform he still had too many questions.
Putting down the cup in his hand, Nara Shikahisa looked at the young face in front of him, he really had too much emotion at this time.
No matter how many times I have lamented the youth of the young man in front of him, and the maturity and ruthlessness that are completely disproportionate to the years he has experienced.
Nara Shikahisa felt that he had always underestimated this young man.
This teenager has long become an incredible, a person who has both means and strength, and even broke the rules of the game that have been established for a long time!
Such a person may only be done by the legendary first Hokage.
But the means of the first Hokage ....
Seriously, Nara Shikaku doesn't feel very good.
Although he can always say something thought-provoking, in the end he relies on the impossibly powerful personal strength.
Nara Shikahisa had also read those histories and heard the legends told by his elders.
But for him, he also felt that this was just an exaggeration.
But now he doesn't think like this anymore, and he's seen the completely changed terrain of the Konoha border.
He understands that human forces really seem to be able to do all this!
"Minister Qi, I have to say that I have been telling myself all the time that I can't underestimate you or underestimate you."
Nara Shikaku stared into the eyes of Uchiha Kai and said slowly: "But no matter how much I try to improve my opinion of you and improve my evaluation of you, but from beginning to end, I have found that I still underestimate you, underestimate your means, underestimate your abilities, and underestimate your ambitions. β
"Really?" Uchiha Keichi smiled slightly, and he looked at Nara Shikaku with one hand on his head.
He wasn't talking, he was waiting, waiting for Nara Shikaku to continue talking.
However, to the surprise of Uchiha Kai, Nara Shikahisa did not speak directly, but began to seal.
"Break an established rule of the game, break the original circle of interests, and reformulate new rules of the game....."
When strange spells appeared around the two of them, Nara Shikahisa spoke slowly.
"I just want to know, Minister Qi, what you think and your purpose, of course, I also have some malicious thoughts, that is, you are happy now, right?"
"So you want to know this." Uchiha Kai sighed.
"Well, everybody's curious, everybody's curious to know why I'm doing this.
As the largest family in Konoha, as the strongest family in Konoha right now, and having one of the largest force divisions in my hands, why should I do this? β
Speaking of this, Uchiha Kei suddenly reached out and picked up a pot of sake in front of Nara's Shikahisa's table.
Not caring that the bottle had been steamed in hot water before, he gently poured himself a glass and then took a sip as well.
This sake does not have a strong taste for him, and even the alcohol content is not high.
But for some reason, he felt that the taste would not be so right.
Maybe it's because he hasn't touched alcohol in seventeen years, and as a ninja, he doesn't want to get drunk.
"Actually, it's very simple, I don't think that the Nara clan, who is a high-level Konoha official, will not know about the situation of the Uchiha clan."
Uchiha Kei slowly put down the wine glass: "I've always been very realistic, and I don't like to say some big truths.
If it weren't for the fact that I didn't feel hope, that I didn't feel safe, and that I didn't feel the future of the village and the Uchiha, maybe I wouldn't have done it. β
Nara Shikaku was silent, he did know a lot of things, a lot of things about the Uchiha and the village.
Even if he didn't participate in it, he didn't interject a word in it.
But how could someone as clever as he not know?
The Uchiha was isolated, isolated by the three generations of Hokage.
Divide the ninja through various means.,And use your own wrist.,Pull the ninjas of other families into their own camp.γ
Even if they didn't join, they honestly didn't dare to say much.
But somehow, the Uchiha clan was left out.
It is completely conceivable that such an isolated and helpless Uchiha clan will really make any choice in the future, and others will be hostile to him for their own interests.
A family that is completely isolated by the village has no future and no hope!
Nara Shikaku took another sip of the wine glass, this child is so sensitive.
He could feel things that no one else could feel at all, and he had planned so many things, so many things that made his soul tremble!
"The established rules of the game are very bad for me, either I can only defect or I can only wait for death."
Uchiha Kei lowered his head and looked at the wine glass in his hand, which he gently spun in his hand.
"I don't want to leave, because as the Uchiha clan, once they break away from Konoha, can they really survive outside the village?
After all, the Uchiha is a blood family, and there are always some people in the Uchiha clan whose hearts are higher than the sky..."
"You cleaned them up, right? At that time, you were only thirteen years old. β
Nara Shikaku sighed: "Let me ask you a question, the fourth generation of Hokage is on the throne, is there your shadow?" β
"Yes." Uchiha Kei looked at Nara Shikaku with a smile.
"Orochimaru was framed by me, Uchiha Yong and Uchiha Shu were both killed by me, and Uchiha Shin and those elders who followed him also died at my hands.
I personally disbanded the two detachments of the security department, and the two former detachment leaders were also thrown into prison by me and have not yet come out.
Of course, Orochimaru himself is not clean, are you satisfied with this answer? β
Nara Shikahisa's hands trembled, this answer was definitely beyond his expectations, and he now felt that some cold sweat seemed to break out on his back.
This is.... Warn yourself?
Thinking of the canyon on the Konoha border, Nara Shikaku shook his head.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down a bit.
Suddenly, he heard laughter all around him.
He tilted his head slightly, the tavern had gathered a large number of ninjas.
Their faces are full of smiles, it is a yearning for the future, it is a light to see hope!
For a long time, Nara Shikakucai whispered: "It is true that you are really a cold-blooded executioner, and everything you do is only for yourself, but..."
"You did make a huge change for Konoha, as you said, for whatever purpose, for what position, you did make a change for Konoha.
Congratulations, Minister Kai, and I'm sorry for some of the initiatives I've taken before. β
"What initiative? What did we talk about before? Uchiha Kei looked at him calmly, and suddenly he showed a puzzled expression.
Tapping lightly on the table, Uchiha Kai showed a smile: "Minister Shikaku, you drank too much, oh, I'm sorry I remembered, is it a matter of Shikajo?" β
"Ah, yes, it's a matter of Deer City." Nara Shikahisa also showed a smile: "I don't know what Minister Kai thinks?" β
"I think before I leave, Hokage-sama will 'accept someone's proposal' and set up a meeting 'dedicated to all kinds of contradictions'.
The participants are represented by the lower ninja, the middle ninja, and the upper ninja, and at the same time, Hokage-sama will also ask for a power.
'One veto if necessary', I'll support Hokage-sama, what do you think? β
"I know what to do, Minister Kei....."
.....
