Chapter 112: Tuan Zang's Troubles
"Tsunade...... How is she lately? ”
The third generation hesitated for a moment, and finally asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
For his three disciples, the three generations all feel more or less indebted to them, and it can be said that the three of them left Konoha one after another, and he has more or less responsibility.
"When I left, Tsunade-sensei was in a pretty good state, usually gambling and drinking, and if she selectively forgot about her high debts, her life would still be quite comfortable."
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Tsunade to be the same, but then I can rest assured."
After listening to Zhou Xiaoning's words, the third generation smiled happily, with his understanding of Tsunade, she really did such a thing.
"So, are you planning to join Konoha this time?"
"That's right, Tsunade honestly, I can get stronger when I come here."
Zhou Xiaoning nodded without hesitation, this is not a shady thing, there is no need to hide it.
"Oh? Do you want to get stronger? So what do you want to do when you become stronger? ”
There was a hint of test in the words of the third generation, he had already taught a dangerous person like Orochimaru, but he didn't want to have a second one. Tsunade mentioned in the letter that Zhou Xiaoning's talent is no less than that of the Great Snake Pill, so he has to be cautious, if Zhou Xiaoning's answer does not satisfy him, it is not enough to drive Zhou Xiaoning away, but the future cultivation needs to be slowed down.
"To protect those I cherish from harm."
There was a look of determination in Zhou Xiaoning's eyes, he didn't say this to cater to the three generations, but he really thought so in his heart. The crisis in this world will become more and more serious, if you don't have enough strength, you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect your family and friends?
"To protect?"
The third generation nodded with satisfaction, although it was not the answer he wanted the most, but it was good.
"In that case, then I'll agree with the two of you to join Konoha. As for the position, let's put up with it for the time being, with the strength of the two of you, you should be enough to be competent. ”
With a stroke of the pen, the three generations personally helped Zhou Xiaoning and Bai fill out the ninja certificate, and then as long as they added the photos of the two and stamped the Hokage seal, the two of them officially became Konoha's middle ninja.
At this time, Zhou Xiaoning didn't know what this meant, although the Hokage had the power to promote ninjas exceptionally, but this was only for those ninjas who knew the roots and had merit. Like Zhou Xiaoning and Bai, who are of unknown origin, are allowed to join Konoha with just a letter and a necklace, and they are Zhongnin, which is not something that can be summarized by the word "trust" alone.
If Zhou Xiaoning and Bai are really spies of other forces and have done something to harm the interests of Konoha, then the three generations who signed the ninja certificate will have to pay all the responsibility, and then the Hokage's position will not be able to sit still.
"Ape Fei, are you too hasty like this."
Just as Miyo was about to put his seal down, a man unceremoniously pushed open the door of Hokage's office and walked in.
"Tuanzang, I don't need to ask you for advice on the decision I made. Or are you suspicious of the identities of these two children? ”
Seeing the people coming, the three generations couldn't help frowning, Tuan Zang has been getting more and more disagreeable recently, just take the recent Uchiha extermination incident as an example, there is a shadow of Tuan Zang behind this, if it weren't for Tuan Zang, things might not have developed like this at all.
"I naturally don't doubt the identities of the two of them, and I'm sure you won't be wrong. It's just that you just give the two of them the position of Shinobi, which is not appropriate. ”
Tuan Zang glanced at Zhou Xiaoning faintly, he coveted the position of the Hokage for a day or two, seeing that the body of the third generation was aging day by day, he would probably not be able to do it in a few years, and when he was active, the position of the fifth generation Hokage would probably be his. But now, Tsunade's disciples suddenly returned, what does this mean, could it be that Tsunade also plans to intervene in the competition for the five generations of Hokage, so he sent his own disciples to fight the front?
I have to say that in the eyes of careerists, everyone else is also careerists, and everything they do has their own goals.
So just in case, Tuan Zang didn't allow Zhou Xiaoning to rise too quickly, which would only enhance the strength of the Hokage family, which would be a big disadvantage to him.
Throughout the history of Konoha, you will find a very interesting phenomenon, the original Hokage was a thousand hands pillar. The second Hokage is the younger brother of the Thousand Hands Pillar, Thousand Hands Pillar. The third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash is a disciple of the first and second generations. The fourth generation Hokage is the disciple of the third generation disciple Jiraiya, and the fifth generation Hokage is the disciple Tsunade of the third generation. The later six generations of Hokage Kakashi were disciples of the Bo Feng Shui Gate. The next seven generations of Hokage Uzumaki Naruto are even more incredible, not only the son of the fourth generation, but also the disciple of the sixth generation, and has also been favored by the fifth and third generations.
Good guy, all the Hokage of the past generations are related to each other, no wonder Tuan Zang has been planning for so many years, but he has not sat in the position of Hokage, and when he was closest, he was just an acting Hokage, it turned out that his relationship was not strong enough, and he was not as good as those "related households".
This just explains why Danzou regarded Naruto Uzumaki and others in the future as a thorn in his side, who called them all members of the Hokage line, and was a stumbling block preventing him from becoming the Hokage.
And now, Naruto Uzumaki and the others have not grown up, and they are not a threat to Danzang for the time being. But Zhou Xiaoning is different, seeing that the three generations are satisfied with him, he will definitely cultivate vigorously in the future, the better Zhou Xiaoning's performance, the more unfavorable it will be for him, so Tuan Zang can't let the three generations get their wish no matter what.
"Are you the Lord of the Tunzang, Tsunade Sensei mentioned you to me, saying that you are thinking about Konoha everywhere and taking care of everything, which is really hard work and admiration."
Zhou Xiaoning's words sounded like a compliment, but when he thought about it, why was there something wrong, didn't this mean that he stretched out his hand too long and lifted it too much?
The meaning of Zhou Xiaoning's words, Tuan Zang, the old fox, naturally would not fail to hear it, but he covered it up very well, glanced at Zhou Xiaoning quietly, and turned to look at the three generations.
"Ape Fei, you won't be unclear about what the teenage middle ninja represents, it's not wartime, we have to follow some plans, otherwise what do you want other people to think?"
Tuan Zang is forcing the palace, although the Hokage has great power in Konoha, but the opinions of the grassroots ninjas below cannot but be concerned, especially the level of the middle ninja, which is an important force supporting the ninja village, and their opinions must not be ignored.
But then again, with the prestige of the three generations, the promotion of two powerful ninjas, even if the people below have a lot of complaints, they won't be able to make many waves, or it won't take long to subside, which is why the three generations simply give two ninja places.
However, if someone is deliberately provoking it, then things will be different. I didn't know how many excellent ninjas died because of this, but now that I think about it, the three generations feel distressed, if those ninjas are still alive, Konoha's strength will be at least three times as strong as it is now.
And the culprit who caused all this is standing in front of the three generations, although there is no direct evidence to prove that it is the ghost that Tuan Zang secretly did, but how could he not guess with the shrewdness of the three generations?
It's just that the situation was turbulent before, and the three generations didn't pursue Tuanzang for the sake of Konoha's stability, otherwise, the people of the Hokage and Tuanzang families would fight openly and secretly, and the loss would be Konoha's power after all, and it would only cheapen other ninja villages.
However, the repeated forbearance of the three generations has made the group hide an inch, and it has been getting more and more excessively recently, and he doesn't talk about him as a Hokage at all.
"I don't know what you mean?"
Miyo narrowed his eyes, although he was old, it didn't mean that he couldn't move anymore, and if Danzang went too far, he didn't mind letting his old bones move.
"If you want me to say, let him start with the lower ninja, and just make it into the group of lower ninjas who just graduated, like all lower ninjas, and be promoted through the middle ninja exam, so that everyone can be silenced."
Tuan Zang said in a flat tone, completely ignoring the deteriorating faces of the three generations.
The three generations were laughed at angrily, listening to what Tuan Zang said, it seemed quite reasonable at first glance, and they were thinking about the three generations everywhere. But if you analyze it carefully, there are traps everywhere.
Although Zhou Xiaoning's age is about the same as that of the lower ninja who just graduated, and there is no disobedience to include him in it, the question is whether Zhou Xiaoning's strength is at the level of lower ninja. Tsunade praised Zhou Xiaoning in the letter, saying that he had a combat power no less than that of the elite Shangnin, and the three generations believed that Tsunade would not lie to him. To be honest, the three generations felt that it was a bit condescending to let Zhou Xiaoning be a middle ninja, but the group was good, and they directly pushed Zhou Xiaoning to the lower ninja.
You must know that the difference in treatment between the lower ninja and the middle ninja is not a little bit, those family ninjas may not care, after all, in addition to the basic benefits provided by the village, as well as the funds earned by doing their own tasks, they can also get all kinds of support from the family, as long as the talent is not too bad, it is natural to get some achievements over time.
But for a civilian ninja like Zhou Xiaoning, who has no power in Konoha and no connections, this is simply going to cut off his future.
If Zhou Xiaoning really obeyed Tuanzang's arrangement, then he would have to live a life of civilian endurance for a long time in the future. With his current strength, how could the resources that civilians earn from their hard work be enough for him, you must know that when he was at the headquarters of the Iron Country Chamber of Commerce, he consumed more resources for a day of cultivation than civilians for a month combined
And this year's Zhongnin exam has just passed, and the next time will be half a year later, is this going for Zhou Xiaoning to waste this half a year's time in vain?
What's more, who knows if Tuan Zang will secretly make a mistake during the Zhongnin exam and not let Zhou Xiaoning pass, in that case, Zhou Xiaoning will not waste more time. If this continues, no matter how good Zhou Xiaoning's talent is, he will be spoiled by Tuan Zang, and he will become a mediocre person.
Of course, with Zhou Xiaoning's current financial resources, he can pay this fee by himself, but how should he explain to the three generations when the time comes, where this money will come from? Is it possible to shake out his identity as the boss behind the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce?
If Zhou Xiaoning really did this, it would only fall into the hands of Tuan Zang, as long as he gave Zhou Xiaoning an charge with ulterior motives, Zhou Xiaoning would not be able to explain it clearly even if he had ten mouths.
Should it be said that it is worthy of an old fox, Tuan Zang's simple words forced Zhou Xiaoning into a desperate situation. In order to suppress the power of the Hokage's family, Tuan Zang really did everything he could, and he actually dealt such a ruthless hand to Zhou Xiaoning, who had just met him, which was simply to completely suppress the rhythm of Zhou Xiaoning.
