Chapter 329: The Divine Tree

Hideo Mita looked a little embarrassed.

Obviously, wearing a crown on his head is not conducive to escaping, and the large-sleeved shirt on his body and the court boots under his feet are also in the way, at this time, Mita Hideo has a disheveled head, mixed with some mud, and there are a few black and gray marks on his face, like a naughty boy smearing at will, and the official uniform on his body is dirty and damaged.

His dignity was not much different from the other surviving refugees in Shirahama Castle, except for the still straight waist, and the shrewdness and firmness in his eyes, which also showed that this old man was different from the others around him, including the only surviving son of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation beside him.

At that time, when the white clone invaded Shirahama Castle and the safety of the daimyo's mansion was in jeopardy, Mita Hideo's decision seemed to be the right one, although they were also chased and killed by the white doppelganger along the way, so that even the daimyo Imai Asatoshi died, but with the desperate protection of the guardian ninja and the samurai, Mita Hideo finally escaped with Imai Kazuko and insisted on the arrival of Shikamaru.

Mita Hideo didn't see the battle between Shikamaru and Uchiha Obito with his own eyes, especially the scene generated by the confrontation between the two inhuman forces of the Golem and the Hummer, otherwise he would not have survived the impact, but the several attacks of the Golem and the Hummer were all powerful, and the power of every move was no less than a small earthquake, so that Hideo Mita could still feel the aftermath of the battle at that time. Especially after the battle, Shikamaru's Lord of Heaven flew all over the city, and it can be said that he easily eliminated the white doppelganger that was difficult for the samurai of Shirahama Castle and the guardian ninja of the Daimyo Mansion to solve, which impressed Hideo Mita even more.

Therefore, when Mita Hideo watched Shikamaru who had reabsorbed the eight-tailed bull Chakra into his body slowly walking towards him, although he himself was old enough to be Shikamaru's grandfather, and he was also the only direct descendant of the ruler of the Fire Country, the richest and most powerful country in the nominally entire world, but after seeing Shikamaru at this moment, Mita Hideo really felt at ease.

"Hokage-sama," Hideo Mita originally wanted to say to Shikamaru that you were finally here, but then he was worried that he would be suspected of complaining that Shikamaru had come too late, so he changed his words, "Thank you for saving the lives of Kazumitsu-sama and Zaichi." ”

Imai Kazumitsu, who was following Hideo Mita, muttered something, as if he was complaining that Shikamaru came too late, but after seeing Shikamaru's easy way to kill the white clone, as well as the situation of the Golem and the Eight-Tailed Bull battlefield, he was a little afraid of Shikamaru's power and didn't dare to face the confrontation.

It's just that Imai and Hikari's castle is really not very good, even if you can't hear what he's muttering, just by looking at his expression, you know that it's not a good word, which makes Mita Hideo a little embarrassed.

Shikamaru also heard Imai and Hikatsu's words, and his sense of hearing was more keen, knowing what Imai and Hikari were saying, he didn't seem annoyed, just smiled at each other, and then said, "Kazumitsu-sama is so frightened, it seems that he is a little tired, you can rest a little." ”

As soon as Shikamaru's voice fell, Imai Kazumitsu, who was staring at him, suddenly became dazed, blinked his eyes and seemed to be a little confused, and then suddenly fainted, and was supported by Shikamaru's transformation into a wooden clone that had already been prepared, and then the wooden clone took it away with one hand.

Mita Hideo's expression froze, even if he is known as the ninja ape flying sun, or the princess is known as Tsunade, he has always maintained respect for the family of the daimyo, especially now that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is sure to die, Imai Kazumitsu, as the only surviving heir of the Daimyo, will undoubtedly inherit the Daimyo's position and become the next Daimyo.

Although he knew that Shikamaru was never a good person, which could be seen from the fact that he dared to kill the Ninja of the Outamura on the territory of another country in the Land of Water, Mita Hideo still didn't expect Shikamaru to suddenly use illusions on Imai Kazuko, and he didn't care.

It's just that Mita Hideo's castle is much stronger than Imai Kazumitsu, he understands that he still needs to rely on Shikamaru's power to protect himself, and he knows that although Shikamaru is ruthless, he is not an impulsive and irritable person, so he has recovered after being slightly stunned, pretending not to see Shikamaru's unreasonable actions, and began to discuss with him the reconstruction of Shirahama Castle and the Daimyo's Mansion, as well as the protection work during the reconstruction.

"That's what I want to say, Mita-sama," Shikamaru said when he saw Mita Hideo take the initiative to mention it, "The vanguard of Konoha Village will arrive soon, and they will protect you and Wamitsu-sama when the time comes, and I will continue to send troops to help rebuild Shirahama Castle and the Daimyo Mansion when I return to Konoha and provide better protection." ”

"It's great." Hideo Mita secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shikamaru's attitude was not bad, but Shikamaru's subsequent words made him nervous again.

"It's just ......," Shikamaru said here, looking at Hideo Mita's frowning brow, and continued, "Konoha Village itself has just been attacked, and the losses are not small, and now we are also undergoing reconstruction work, and we are about to form a ninja alliance with other ninja villages, and we are not well manned. ”

"What do you mean?" Hideo Mita's eyebrows quickly formed a Sichuan character, and he faintly guessed Shikamaru's purpose in his heart, but he still wanted to confirm it himself.

"Konoha Village needs more financial support from the Fire Nation to expand its establishment." Shikamaru looked at Hideo Mita, who looked a little embarrassed, expressionlessly.

Hideo Mita opened his mouth, wanting to refuse directly.

Shirahama Castle has almost suffered a catastrophe this time, the population of the entire city is not one in ten, as the capital of a country, its reconstruction will definitely require extremely large and long-term financial expenditure, in this case it is not realistic to agree to Shikamaru's request, after all, since Shikamaru has spoken, it will definitely not be like Hanako can play with only a little money.

It's just that in the next moment, when Hideo Mita looked at Shikamaru's expressionless expression, he suddenly hesitated, especially when his gaze fell on the back of Shikamaru's wooden clone that took away Kazuko Imai, his expression had changed.

Shirahama Castle was invaded and almost destroyed, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire died, and the only thing left was only a teenage heir, Imai Kazuko is not Nara Shikamaru, there are not so many prestige and amazing achievements, the Lord Shaoguo suspects, Konoha Village is the basis for ensuring the prestige of the central government, and at this time the Daimyo is obviously inseparable from the support of Konoha Village.

And the most important thing is that Imai and Mitsu don't have the ability to deal with government affairs, as an old minister of the dead Daimyo, and survived with Imai Kazumitsu, it can be predicted that for a considerable period of time, the new Daimyo's Mansion will rely on him to maintain its operation, and even Imai Kazuko needs him to maintain his position, after all, everyone knows that even if he has righteousness and fame, he is just a seventeen-year-old child.

"Otherwise, why didn't Shikamaru pay much attention to Imai Kazuko from beginning to end, but kept discussing problems with himself? Maybe he knows that too. Thinking like this, and observing Shikamaru's expression, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, Shikamaru's expressionless face also became unfathomable in Mita Hideo's eyes.

"He knows that for sure!" Mita Hideo looked at Shikamaru's expression, and then thought of Shikamaru's deeds, and his experience of becoming Hokage at the age of sixteen, and confirmed his guess more and more, which made his heart beat a little faster.

The allure of substantially controlling a country is hard for Hideo Mita to resist, and even though he is not young now, he does not want to give up this opportunity.

If other ministers sit back and watch the Daimyo's Mansion and Imai Kazumitsu, how will the other party treat an old minister like himself, who has a strong influence in both the government and the opposition?

And ...... letting a child who has never been in the world control a country, Hideo Mita thinks of the pretended and profound style of the dead daimyo Imai Asatoyoshi who makes him sick, and thinks of the gap between Imai and Hikari and the young man in front of him, and feels that it is a complete disaster to really let Imai and Hikari control a country.

In terms of ability, Imai Kazuko, and even Imai Asaoshi are not as good as Mita Hideo in case, but it is just unpredictable luck in the dark, and if he really relies on his talent, he is more qualified to be the head of a country than anyone in the Imai family.

Hideo Mita thought for a long time, but Shikamaru was not impatient at all, just looked at the other party's ever-changing face without his knowledge.

"Your proposal is reasonable, Hokage-sama." Mita Hideo finally made up his mind, rebuilding the Daimyo Mansion requires the power of Konoha Village and Shikamaru as the Hokage, and if Mita Hideo wants to control the Daimyo Mansion and Imai Kazumitsu, so as to substantially control a country, there will definitely be countless people who oppose him and are hostile to him, and then he needs the support of Shikamaru and the Konoha Village he represents.

Shikamaru, who had no expression, finally showed a smile and said to Hideo Mita, "You are indeed the minister of the Daimyo. ”

…………

While Hideo Mita and Shikamaru were still discussing government affairs, the weakened Kurojue had already left Shikamaru's search range far away and came to a safe area.

"Isn't it your attention to instigate Obito and Nara Shikamaru to fight a decisive battle?" Bai Jue looked at the embarrassed Black Jue, although he heard the Black Jue's order in Bai Hama City before, he didn't carry out the words, but he had a lot of questions in his heart, and then asked: "Even if Nara Shikamaru wins, and obtains the Reincarnation Eye, he takes advantage of the situation to capture the Golem and other tailed beasts to become the ten-tailed human pillar force, isn't it also in your plan?" ”

Kurojue didn't speak, it was indeed as Hakujue said, in his original plan, no matter who won or lost Obito and Shikamaru, it would not affect his plan, even if Nara Shikamaru won the decisive battle, he believed that this young man, who had been rated by the wind as similar to Orochimaru in Konoha a long time ago, would not resist the temptation to become a ten-tailed human pillar force and gain more power.

It's just that as Shikamaru said, no one in this world has ever been able to completely grasp the changes in the situation, and when he discovered the mystery of Shikamaru's Heavenly Lord, Kurokai knew that his plan was nothing more than a flaw.

"Nara's Shikamaru's power is dangerous." It took a moment for Black Jedi to answer Bai Jue's words.

"What do you mean?" Hei Jue was only halfway through his words, which made Bai Jue a little dissatisfied.

"I mean, if we sit back and watch this power of Nara Shikamaru continue to grow," Kuro said in a deep voice, "Mother may never be resurrected again." ”

"He will become the ...... of the Sacred Tree, absorbing all the power of the old Sacred Tree, and a new Divine Tree will be born from its wreckage."
