Chapter 228: Psychological Game
Naruto's words were equivalent to acquiescence, and after Yashamaru was slightly stunned, it was as if he had obtained a password that could answer the remaining questions in his heart, and the confused and incomprehensible chaotic thoughts that had been forcibly suppressed in his heart suddenly became enlightened. And because of the gradual recall in his mind, when he came into contact with Naruto, he maintained his sanity and clarity from beginning to end, making people not perceive the violent and ferocious temperament that people are accustomed to in the slightest human pillar. Not to mention that if Naruto hadn't taken the initiative to admit to mentioning it, it would have been impossible for him to associate this young man who didn't play according to the routine, but his performance was gentle and friendly, with Zhu Li, who was constantly suffering from the torture of going out of control.
And this is enough to explain why Naruto, who came all the way to Sand Hidden Village, deliberately changed his name and surname, and enabled the identity of "Bo Feng Mian Ma", but also to make his actions more inconspicuous, and chose low-level common C-level missions as a cover......
After all, as an important hole card and combat power of a ninja village - measured by the words of Naruto's previous life, the human pillar power with the tailed beast sealed in his body is basically equivalent to the existence of a nuclear warhead - one of them, the news of Naruto's departure from the village, if other ninja villages know about it, it will inevitably cause the overall strength and deterrence of Konoha Village to drop by a level. And then let those young people who covet the fertile land of the land of fire be ready to move again, and even directly join forces to launch a surprise attack in one place, it is not an impossible development.
In addition, the impact of Renzhuli leaving the village alone is far more than that.
You must know that even if the war ceases and enters a period of peace and truce that has not been seen for a long time, and even because of frequent trade exchanges, Sand Hidden Village and Konoha Village maintain a friendly relationship on the surface......
But first, the wounds caused by war are not so easy to fade. So much so that even though the war has ceased for several years, there are still many people in today's Sand Hidden Village who hate and hate Konoha Village. As a result, this superficial friendly relationship is not as strong and solid as the world thinks, but rather fragile, fragile and vulnerable.
Second, as one of the symbols of the village's combat power. In order to avoid being ambushed by other ninja villages that covet the power of tailed beasts when Renzhuli moves outside the village, every time Renzhuli travels, if nothing else, there are specially arranged strong people to follow him, inseparably providing protection assistance.
And for the first time in history, like Naruto, he went to other villages with a big grin and revealed his identity to others without hesitation. So much so that Yakshamaru was stunned, and he couldn't help but instinctively suspect ...... Naruto, who seems to be unfathomable in strength and has easily dissolved the hatred and hatred of the children of the Sand Hidden Village for my Airo. Is his mind brilliant, or is he stupid and naΓ―ve?
Not to mention anything else, if Yakshamaru is now looking for an excuse and running to inform his brother-in-law that the "wave wind face hemp" that they have been worried about is actually the nine-tailed man Zhuli of Konoha Village...... Out of the psychology that the more hole cards the better to deter external forces, the Sand Hidden Village must do whatever it takes to take advantage of Naruto's away from the Sand Hidden Village, so that because Konoha Village can't save the near fire due to the far water, it can't support in time, and Naruto is in a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness, leaving Naruto - or the Nine-Tails - completely in the Sand Hidden Village, take it for yourself, right?
This kind of obvious development, not to mention the Yaksha Pill, can easily be thought of even by a passer-by with a little knowledge. And with his own knowledge since he came into contact with Naruto, Naruto couldn't have imagined this...... It is precisely because of this that Yakshamaru secretly thinks about it with mixed feelings. In a flash of inspiration, he sensed another possibility - what if this was Naruto's intention?
Naruto's original identity and strength as "Wave Wind Face Ma" was enough to make the Sand Hidden Village Mouse Trap to the point of choosing to spend money to eliminate the disaster. In addition, from beginning to end, Naruto never showed any signs of going out of control, and he couldn't detect the slightest breath of the tailed beast chakra. So much so that no matter how Yashamaru looked at Naruto, he could only see Naruto's normal appearance as if he had nothing to do with the identity of the human pillar force......
Then, under this known condition, Yakshamaru made two bold conjectures......
The first conjecture is that Naruto's self-proclaimed human pillar power is the same as the previous self-proclaimed "Hakaze face hemp", which is all fictional assumptions. To test the intricate relationship behind the Yakshamaru, whether he treats Naruto as a friend from the bottom of his heart. Then, through the reaction of the Yakshamaru, it was assessed that the friendly relationship between Konoha Village and Sand Hidden Village would continue to be maintained...... It is still the Sand Hidden Village, which is now financially tight and stretched, to announce to the world that the Konoha Ninja Village has returned to the top of the five major ninja villages and is a stepping stone to deter the Quartet.
The second conjecture is that Naruto's claim to be a human pillar is indeed true, and it is out of trust in Yakshamaru that he chose to give it all ......
But in this way, he was able to suppress the tailed beast Chakra so that there was no spillage in the slightest, so that the identity of the human pillar force was roughly the same as that of an ordinary ninja...... Naruto's own strength is worth intriguing.
In terms of Yakshamaru's understanding, either, it was the seal imposed on Naruto by the Konoha Ninja Village that was strong enough to completely suppress the Tailed Beast's rebellion. Either that, or Naruto's own strength is strong enough to freely urge the Tailed Beast, and he has become a perfect human pillar like the eight-tailed Kirabi in Cloud Hidden Village......
And no matter which one it is, once it angers Naruto, or forces Naruto into a desperate situation, Naruto will unreservedly vent the power of the nine-tailed demon fox in the Sand Hidden Village. With the weakest of the tailed beasts, and now it is impossible to effectively control the crane, it is undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage. So that not only is it the fact that Shouhe can't beat the Nine-Tails, but when Shouhe is released to fight against the Nine-Tails, whether Shouhe, who knows that he is invincible, will take advantage of the chaos to escape, is an unpredictable unknown.
In other words, under the above conjecture, even Naruto revealed the identity of the human pillar force. For the Sand Hidden Village, which is currently in an embarrassing situation and restricted everywhere, once Naruto initiates a ruthless attack, he will inevitably have a strong force that is the enemy of the entire Sand Hidden Village! And to add insult to injury, if Naruto is already a perfect human pillar force, he can maintain his own consciousness and completely turn the tailed beast at the same time, he can swagger away directly after wreaking havoc, taking advantage of the fact that the tailed beast's power has not yet been exhausted!
What's more, because of Naruto's appearance, his little nephew has the possibility of making friends and staying away from loneliness...... All the possibilities that have been rationally thought of are at a disadvantage - at least there is no advantage - out of personal emotional gratitude, it is even more difficult for Yakshamaru to betray the trust that Naruto has given him. So much so that with the passage of time bit by bit, Yakshamaru, whose thoughts gradually became clearer, also slowly determined what he should do next.
"Whew...... I see...... Naruto, it's really surprising that you are the current person of Konoha Village. β
In a hurry, emotions and reason are fighting each other in the mind to get the result. As Yakshamaru exhaled a long breath, he had already made a choice in his mind not to make friends with celebrities. Immediately, with a smile on his face, he reached out and hooked Naruto's neck, and tilted his head a little, leaning into Naruto's ear. In order to prevent others from hearing the conversation, he deliberately lowered the volume and decibel of his own words. While staring at me Ailuo who was playing with the children, his words were faintly mixed with a bit of envy, and he continued word by word.
"No wonder you came all the way to Shayin Village, and you deliberately found a reason to hide your whereabouts...... I don't know when I'll be able to leave the village freely. β
ββ¦β¦ You have made a wise choice, my friend. β
Hearing the words that suddenly came from his ears, while Yakshamaru was meditating and pondering, Naruto, who had been silent, knew that Yakshamaru had made his choice. Then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he first replied with a sentence that had nothing to do with the words mentioned by Yakshamaru. Then, while paying attention to the innocent and satisfied smile on the face of my Airo, he whispered the answer to Yakshamaru in an affirmative tone.
"Just care for me with love and care for him and prevent him from going down the wrong path...... Then, you can make choices and control your own destiny with your own will. It's only a matter of time before I'm Airo. β
The conjectures that flashed in Yakshamaru's heart were obviously not groundless...... After all, for Naruto, a treacherous and cunning old guy like Danzang, who can calculate to death. After careful consideration, every important decision Naruto chose was to think twice. And directly exposing the identity of his own human pillar force is naturally no exception, and it is indeed a plot. And the hidden true purpose is indeed inseparable from Yashamaru's guess - that is, whether it is necessary to continue the friendly exchanges with Sand Hidden Village.
For the sake of the face of Sand Hidden Village as my hometown, Naruto's heart is naturally happy to see Konoha Village and Sand Hidden Village become real iron buddies. But when Naruto recalled the Natamin Examination Village, under the order of the four generations of Kazekage disguised by Orochimaru, he did not hesitate to invade the sand hidden village that was raging in Konoha Village. So that once Yakshamaru showed the slightest tendency to waver, then Naruto didn't mind killing chickens and monkeys and giving Sand Hidden Village a little bitter taste in advance.
Not to mention anything else, after entering Shayin Village, under the witness of my own eyes, compared with Konoha Village, it is obviously a much more depressed commercial street. It was enough for Naruto to deduce from this how tight the economy of the Sand Hidden Village was. There is no need to release the Nine Lamas to make a big fuss, even if it is just to completely cut off the trade between Konoha Village and Shayin Village, for the current Shayin Village, further reducing the source of income is definitely enough for them to have a headache for a while......
However, if you do this, it is very likely that it will affect the living conditions of the red pandas. But compared to the Konoha Ninja Village, which was guarded by his parents with his life, the situation of the Sand Hidden Village is obviously much more insignificant...... If you are forced to launch a ruthless attack, it is a big deal that Naruto will directly abduct my Airo back to Konoha Village!
Anyway, in Shayin Village, even the fourth generation of Kazekage, who is a father, doesn't treat this poor red panda very well. Then the degree of attachment to the village must be quite slight...... On this basis, as long as your own ninja world's strongest escape technique - "mouth escape" is used well, even coaxing and deception, a sugar-coated cannonball will go down. Are you still afraid that the red panda, which is eager for the recognition and care of others, will refuse to follow you back to the village obediently?
As for the discovery of Naruto's Nine-Tails Pillar Force, or Naruto's intention to abduct the red panda, the Sand Hidden Village encircled and pursued him...... For Naruto, who is armed with the Flying Thunder God Technique, this kind of thing is not a small trouble that is enough to find a place to hide and launch the Flying Thunder God Technique to directly teleport all his group home with a swagger? It's simple, easy and fast, and you don't have to worry about the Xiao organization having worked tirelessly to come all the way to join in the excitement after receiving the information that the Nine-Tails Zhuli appeared in Shayin Village.
Well...... In a sense, it ...... The choice of Yaksha Pill helped Shayin Village avoid the blood loss of losing his wife and soldiers once.
"Is it just a matter of time...... So, I'll take your good word, Naruto-kun. β
Sensing Naruto's words, there was a hint of warning. While Yakshamaru sat in his heart and guessed, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Then he secretly swore in his heart that he would never get involved in such a brain-draining drudgery of mutual suspicion and calculation with Naruto in the future. While thinking of something, he asked curiously.
"Speaking of which, how long are you going to stay in the Sand Hidden Village...... Ah, don't get me wrong! I'm definitely not, saying that you are not welcome in Shayin Village. I just ......"
"I'm just curious about how free I am now. So that I can have a rough mental preparation when I face the future after my transformation, right? I can still see this little bit of caution......"
For Yakshamaru's momentary slip of the tongue in a hurry, Naruto didn't care about anyone. With a smile in his eyes, he took over the conversation half-jokingly and half-seriously, and while looking up and down at Yakshamaru's figure, he staggered his eyes a little after his eyes were so straight that Yakshamaru mistakenly thought that Naruto was calculating something about him again, and he nervous a little uncomfortably. Then, for the sake of safety, he continued in a solemn and serious tone.
"But, Yakshamaru ...... If you want to see this kind of bright future for you, you can't throw your life away...... In order to ensure that my Airo does not completely get out of control, there are certain times when you must not follow any instructions from your brother-in-law to test my Airo...... In other words, Yakshamaru, you have to think about relying on Aira, who is attached to you, and live well. β
"Huh......? Hey, are you cursing me to death? Naruto-kun...... That's a bit too much......"
After hearing such unlucky words from Naruto's mouth at first glance, Rao couldn't help frowning a little with the gentle temperament of Yashamaru. But in the midst of verbal dissatisfaction and complaints, it was because of the instinctive sense of crisis that was inexplicably born in his heart, and he quietly remembered every word that Naruto had just said.
"It's just a friend to give you a vaccination...... Believe it or not is a matter of your own choice. β
Naruto didn't plan to reveal more information about the "future" to Yakshamaru until he had a deeper trust and bond with Yakshamaru. Being able to give a reminder and let him refuse to carry out the order of the suicide mission issued by the fourth generation of the wind shadow is already considered benevolent. So much so that after hearing Yakshamaru's complaining words, Naruto just smiled slightly and didn't argue too much with anyone. Immediately, because of the corner of his eye, inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of the figure of Xianglu and Zhishui approaching with a large bag and a small bag, and turned his head slightly. As if he was aware of it, he answered the question that Yaksha Pill had raised earlier.
"Depending on the current situation, we may be able to stay for a day or so at most...... After all, there are still some minor problems in my Airo's emotional control. When my situation is completely stabilized, I will be able to return to the village with peace of mind. β
"Huh? That is, you are leaving tomorrow? So fast? β
Unexpectedly, after getting the exact time of Naruto's departure from Naruto's mouth. While Yakshamaru secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he felt a little reluctant and sorry because of Naruto's selfless help to my Airo [well, it's quite selfless, so selfless that I almost couldn't resist the urge in my heart to turn your precious little nephew directly back to the village ......]. So much so that after gritting his teeth and pursing his lips and hesitating for a while, he continued tentatively.
"It's rare to never go to Shayin Village...... Why not play for a few more days? Besides, I've managed to make such a good friend as you, and if you leave so soon...... That kid must be sad and quite reluctant, right? If you're worried about the fourth generation...... My brother-in-law's words, I'll go and explain it to you. β
"It's because I know that the kid is reluctant that I have to leave early. Otherwise, the longer the time drags on, won't the child be more reluctant to let us go? Moreover, if you stay for a few more days, your brother-in-law, who has been worrying all day about whether I will cause harm to Shayin Village, is afraid that he will be so entangled that he can't eat well and can't sleep, right? β
While bending his eyes and shaking his head politely refused, Naruto, who had originally arranged a full excursion to leave the village, did not accept Yashamaru's offer of kindness. On the one hand, in my mind, the two figures of the brilliant white-haired uncle and the glamorous blonde "royal sister" appeared. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a teasing and joking smile full of gossip. In the confused and puzzled look on Yakshamaru's face, he joked with a wicked smile.
"Hey, hey, hey...... What's more, I'm still anxious to collect a debt from someone so that he can fulfill the promise he once made......"
"It's been delayed for so long, and he has enjoyed a little more of a bachelor's leisure time...... I can't let him continue to be so cool! β
