Chapter 326: Fake Hokage takes office
Konoha Village, Hokage's office.
Which one is stronger in civil engineering in the ninja world?
It's not the Iwakuin Village, which is dominated by earth ninjas, but Konoha that is often demolished by people from all walks of life and has many experience in post-disaster reconstruction.
The previous Hokage-sama of the fifth generation often went down to create construction opportunities for Konoha's construction team in person, and even the reconstruction of the Hokage's office this time was inseparable from her.
Therefore, in the hands of the construction team who are familiar with the road, the rebuilt Hokage's office at the speed of light is no different from the previous structure, and it still retains the architectural pattern inherited from the original Hokage period.
This is also convenient for the young actor Naruto, who was driven to the shelves, at least he didn't make the low-level mistake of getting lost in his debut.
When the "Seven Generations Hokage-sama" hurried back with a tired face, the sun had already set for a long time, and the starlight in the sky had already begun to twinkle.
He tidied up the Hokage robe on his body, looking for his office in the familiar and unfamiliar corridor.
"Hokage-sama is good!"
The ninjas you meet along the way all nodded and saluted, their eyes showing heartfelt adoration and respect.
For the new generation of Konoha ninjas, this powerful, promising, but approachable Hokage-sama is a god-like figure, and it is their idol of life that they have respected since childhood.
This kind of feeling of being respected by everyone, how could Naruto, a young man who was hostile to a demon fox since he was a child, and only gradually got rid of his notoriety with his strength that he had ever experienced?
It's a nice feeling to be recognized by everyone...
This is exactly what Naruto has dreamed of since he was a child, but now it has come true in the "play"...
The twelve-year-old boy Naruto was in his own world, and he had just used the titles of "Jiraiya Disciple" and "New Generation Genius" to erase the deep-rooted impression of him as a "demon fox" in the minds of the Konoha villagers, and he was still far from being respected and recognized.
"Comrades have worked hard!"
The panic in Naruto's heart gradually subsided, and he imitated the relaxed style of the three generations of old men in his memory, and greeted the Konoha ninjas warmly.
"Serve Konoha!"
The Konoha ninjas responded excitedly to the greetings of the number one leader.
Naruto's face couldn't help but show his trademark smile, which was exactly the same as the original Seven Generations Hokage, which was extremely infectious and relatable.
There are many powerful shinobi encountered along the way, but none of them found out that the seventh-generation Hokage in front of him was actually a fake...
Walking to the door of the Hokage's office, the young Naruto, who had drifted a little in the respectful and adoring eyes of everyone, had already relaxed a lot, and his demeanor was even more faintly a bit of the majesty of the genuine Hokage.
Young Naruto held the doorknob of the office, and even felt a little excited in his heart:
As soon as he pushed the door open, he could sit in the seat of his dreams.
It's a fake, though... But this respectable feeling is real.
Teenage Naruto was inevitably spoiled by Tamu and lost himself a little in the process of committing the crime.
But as soon as he pushed the door, Naruto woke up from a false sense of accomplishment, because when he raised his eyes, he saw in the office that he had been worried about for a long time, the high-IQ military master adult Shikamaru...
Seeing Naruto's return, Shikamaru immediately asked, "Naruto?" ”
"Why did you go so long?"
"Uh..."
In front of Shikamaru, the young Naruto was faintly unable to resist, and he was very stiff in the first line.
Fortunately, Shikamaru changed the topic again and asked:
"How's it going to ask someone from another world to help pick up the tailed beast from Konoha to come?"
"No, no problem!"
Naruto simply showed his usual sunny smirk, in order to respond to the change: "Me and Tamu have already communicated. ”
"When will the tailed beasts arrive in Konoha?"
Shikamaru asked sharply.
To Konoha ...?
At the mention of this, Naruto inevitably felt a little weak in his heart-
Those five wild tailed beasts were already "guests" in the Shenwei space at this time.
Naruto had no choice but to hide the guilt in his heart, and fooled Shikamaru according to the pre-trained rhetoric:
"Regarding the placement of these five tailed beasts, I entrusted him to Tamu and Obito."
"Temporarily hitting them and depositing them in the Divine Alien Space is definitely safer than letting the tailed beasts appear in Konoha en masse."
After hearing this, Shikamaru immediately frowned and fell into deep thought.
Naruto, a young man who was nervous in his heart, hurriedly added:
"About my arrangement..."
"Shikamaru, what do you think?"
Shikamaru pondered the pros and cons, and was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said:
"Hokage-sama, I think this is possible..."
"It's just..."
"Entrusting all the wild tailed beasts to the people of another world for safekeeping, isn't it a little too trusting of them?"
Although the friendly identity of people from another world is widely recognized in Konoha, Shikamaru still raises reasonable doubts from a rational point of view.
What's more, Shikamaru, whose son was almost fooled into a cult, doesn't have a very good impression of people from another world...
However, Tamm and Itachi had already thought about this question, and they had prepared a response in advance.
"It won't be a problem!"
Naruto, who already had a draft, said with a smile:
"I personally brought the tailed beasts into the Shenwei space one by one, and I can enter and exit the Shenwei space at any time."
That's true...
The five tailed beasts were all brought by Tamu to greet the young Naruto dressed as the Seven Hokage with a smile on their faces, and they entered the Kamui space one by one.
During the whole process, Tamu did not use violent means, and it was a beautiful picture of people and animals living in harmony.
As for the picture of the five tailed beasts being neatly tied to the outer road golem and scolding MMP together...
Naturally, it is not in line with the core values of Will of Fire...
Deliberately ignoring it is also to meet the policy requirements of the Hokage's office regarding the remediation of the cultural environment.
"Well..."
Naruto opened his mouth to punch the package ticket, and Shikamaru had no choice but to obey even if he had the slightest doubt in his heart.
Shikamaru asked again, "What about the remaining eight tails?" ”
Naruto's heart moved, and the whereabouts of the Eight Tails were the ultimate purpose of his visit: "The words of the Eight Tails..."
"Now that the enemy's whereabouts are uncertain and they have powerful long-range space capabilities, there is no place in the ninja world that can be called absolutely safe."
Young Naruto enthusiastically shouted out the name of a character he had never seen before, following the lines designed by Tam:
"I hope that Uncle Kirabi can take the Eight Tails and rush to the Shenwei Space as soon as possible to meet the other Tailed Beasts."
Young Naruto tentatively added again:
"Shikamaru, what do you think?"
This manifestation of the difficulty of making decisions without Shikamaru's opinion is exactly the consistent style of the Shichiyome Hokage in front of the Nara military advisor.
"Yes."
"I'll go communicate with Yunyin Village now and find out the opinions over there."
Shikamaru nodded without hesitation, and then turned away without any delay.
"Whew..."
The moment the office door closed, Naruto completely collapsed on the Hokage's throne, and finally relaxed after successfully completing his tense performance.
As a hot-blooded positive ninja who has never had undercover experience, he has been subjected to the torture of conscience and nervous torture when acting in this play.
Shikamaru's character design of being wise and close to the demon exerted a lot of invisible pressure on the young Naruto.
Fortunately, Naruto is playing "himself" in the end, and his true colors are almost the same; And Shikamaru also has a different kind of trust in Naruto, and the dialogue did not cause Shikamaru more suspicion.
But this visceral tension is inevitable:
As soon as Shikamaru left, the sweat that Naruto had been holding back for a long time seeped from his forehead, and he did not hide his guttural voice panting.
At this time, the office door was pushed open again.
The visitor has a pair of pure white clear eyes, neat and smooth hair, and a proud figure all hidden under the conservative home clothes, and the moving demeanor between a smile is very pure beauty.
Seeing such a beauty, the young Naruto couldn't laugh at all.
Because it was none other than someone else who came in, it was one of the characters he was most worried about encountering:
The wife of the seventh Hokage, Hinata Uzumaki.
"Y-Why are you here?"
Naruto said with a humble heart.
He was too relaxed just now, and he couldn't adjust his mood for a while, and his face subconsciously became extremely ugly.
Feeling the undisguised alienation and displeasure of her "husband", Hinata couldn't help frowning slightly...
But she still kept a gentle smile and stepped forward, gently put the lunch in her hand on the desk, and then said with concern:
"It's getting late, I'll bring you dinner."
"I know you're very busy and don't have time to rest during this time, so I made it for you..."
As she said this, Hinata's body naturally approached her husband's side, and the fragrant aura on her body crept into the tip of the young Naruto's nose.
Hinata's touching gentleness is indeed different from the smuggling Sakura's painting style, and there is a soothing and warm feeling.
Not only that, but Hinata, who is as meticulous as a hair, is also very keen to spot a thin layer of cold sweat oozing from her husband's forehead.
Naruto-kun's work, is it so tiring...
Hinata thought so, and the complaint in his heart about Naruto's abnormal attitude just now suddenly disappeared.
She leaned in affectionately, then stretched out her white arm and gently stroked Naruto's forehead, wiping away the layer of crystal sweat for him.
Hinata, who is already a wife, undoubtedly reveals this gentle temperament, and the soft touch under skin contact is even more intoxicating.
The young Naruto, who was almost lost in it, suddenly woke up with great perseverance:
At this time, the subtle distance between Hinata and him had already broken the "three-meter cordon" drawn by Tamm and Sakura, and it was infinitely close to zero.
It can't go on like this!
Otherwise, even if he doesn't show his flaws, he will be subjected to a brutal education by Tamm and Sakura in the future.
Naruto stood up weakly, and relentlessly pushed Hinata's approaching body away, as indifferent as if guarding against a stranger.
He reached out again and snatched the lunch from the table, and then said with a pretense of coldness:
"I see, I'll have dinner."
"I'm very busy now, Hinata, you can go back first!"
Such an attitude was very hurtful, but the young Naruto, who was driven to the cliff, had to adopt such a strategy.
"Naruto... You..."
Hinata's big white eyes were full of sadness, and there was even a hint of moist water faintly flooding in the eyes.
Naruto, a young man who was accustomed to Sakura's violent style, could stand this kind of eye attack, and his face was even more difficult to look at when he was at a loss...
The "husband's" continuous cold words and cold eyes made Hinata a little disheartened, and her white and delicate fists were quietly clenched in the recent style transformation.
Of course, Hinata is the gentle and restrained Hinata after all; Even if she is not angry in her heart, she will not play demolition in the Hokage's office like Sakura and Tsunade.
However, Hinata's faintly violent style made the young Naruto regain a somewhat familiar feeling, and even the stiff look eased a lot.
"Hinata, you go back first."
Naruto adjusted his mood, trying his best to make his voice soft and distant:
"I do have a lot of work to do here..."
Hinata took one last look at her "husband" who couldn't wait to send off the guest, and let go of her clenched fist in some frustration:
"Okay, I'll go..."
As soon as Hinata turned around, Naruto subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief...
The sigh of relaxation made Hinata feel even more depressed.
Why is this so?
Is it the reason for the busy work?
If you think about the rumors I heard from Zoryana before, the situation is even worse...
A working housewife who has only her husband and children in her entire life feels a huge crisis at this time.
Before Hinata could take a step, the door to the Hokage's office was pushed open again.
With long black flowing hair, wanton hanging bangs covering half of his face, and the exposed black pupils implied sharpness, he was wearing a black robe and had a slender body, standing there with a compelling momentum.
Young Naruto shuddered again:
In this way, all the objects he was afraid of were there, and the one who came was the adult Sasuke who was most familiar with adult Naruto!
The continuous high-intensity rivalry made the young actor Naruto unable to adjust his state at all.
As the final boss that scared the young Naruto the most and even the prophet Tamu couldn't explain the relationship between the characters, the adult Sasuke made Naruto suffocate as soon as he appeared.
And Naruto's unusual behavior quickly attracted the attention of adult Sasuke.
Sasuke was originally a ninja with keen observation and excellent intelligence, although this was always covered up by his middle two qi when he was young, but after he matured, he can be said to be the ninja who is the most ninja-like in the entire Konoha area.
Compared to the mature and thoughtful Sasuke, Naruto, the Hokage, is a bit like a kindergarten principal...
And from a personal emotional point of view, Sasuke is definitely the true friend who knows Naruto best in the ninja world, and Naruto's every move can't hide from Sasuke's eyes.
Therefore, the clumsy acting skills of the young Naruto suddenly showed their original form in front of Sasuke.
Sasuke frowned slightly, his voice deep and calm: "Naruto? Are you okay? ”
Although Sasuke didn't say it directly, the suspicion contained in his words made the weak-hearted young Naruto hear it clearly.
"I'm fine..."
Under the strong pressure exerted by Sasuke, Naruto didn't smile so naturally.
Sasuke came so quickly?
Itachi, who served as an assistant actor, was still working overtime to help his old colleagues seal the newly arrived tailed beast, but he didn't have time to come...
How can this be?
Young Naruto anxiously introspected himself in his heart, and he knew that if he continued like this, he would be exposed sooner or later.
But he really doesn't know how to behave in front of adult Sasuke as another self...
The situation was urgent, and the young Naruto had to reluctantly think of Tamm's earnest teachings:
"Look at Sasuke as Sakura, put it first in my heart..."
Despite the resistance in his heart, Naruto forced himself to forcibly experience the feelings of the characters, and then replaced the handsome middle-aged guy in front of him with the appearance of the person he loved...
Although he didn't use the last line, Naruto's eyes when he looked at Sasuke changed...
The effect was immediate, and Sasuke was stunned when he met this look, and he couldn't say anything.
The whole office was silent...
Under Naruto's affectionate eyes, Sasuke unwittingly triggered the aura of wisdom reduction, which was often triggered only by his brother, completely leaving behind the trace of doubt that had just risen in his heart.
The crisis was invisibly resolved, but the atmosphere at the scene became extremely delicate.
In Hinata's eyes:
Two middle-aged men who have gone through ups and downs and have been in close contact with each other have looked at each other affectionately in front of her for a long time; And before he could get out of the office, he became an obstacle between his husband and his good brother...
"You, you..."
Hinata wanted to speak and stopped, but there was a storm in his heart:
Seeing the strange scene in front of him, coupled with his son's demonstration, Hinata already had a guess in his heart that was ten thousand times worse than the rumors he heard before...
"Ahem..."
Sasuke reacted at this time and there was Hinata next to him: "Naruto, you, why are you looking at me like this..."
"Hahaha..."
The young Naruto snorted weakly, and cautiously probed:
"What's wrong... Isn't that what I usually do? ”
"Ahem, ahem... Ahem..."
Sasuke looked at Hinata, whose face was extremely gloomy on the side, and his dry cough became even worse.
