Konoha No. 4 Training Ground.

"Have we been deceived by Natsume-sensei?"

Naruto Uzumaki asked listlessly.

Yesterday he received a notification of Sunset Red and has been very excited.

This is still the case at Exercise Ground No. 4.

But almost two hours have passed, and I still haven't seen Natsume.

His blood suddenly cooled down a lot.

"No, it won't."

Hinata defended and said, "Brother Natsume won't lie. ”

Sasuke Uchiha, who was in the tree, had his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless, and there was no change.

Although I was a little impatient in my heart.

"It's already three poles a day."

Naruto Uzumaki lay down on the ground and said, "If you don't come again, it's going to be lunchtime."

"Brother Natsume is the Hokage now, so it's normal to be busy."

Hinata Hinata found another reason for him.

"It seems to be the same."

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized, "The Hokage is indeed very busy. ”

"Morning."

Natsume appeared on the training ground in an instant, startling both Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

They didn't know the Flying Thunder God technique, they just felt that it was too sudden.

"Natsume-sensei."

Naruto Uzumaki stood in front of him with a carp and asked excitedly, "Is there a mission?" ”

Seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha also jumped off the tree, and he was still quite looking forward to the task.

After all, he has been staying in Konoha Village all along, only fighting with a group of little children, and has never really fought to the death.

In this case, it is impossible to defeat Itachi Uchiha.

"Well, it's an S-class mission."

Natsume thought for a moment and said.

According to the accepted standards in the ninja world, S-class missions are secrets related to the country or ninja village, and the bounty is as high as one million taels, involving war, assassination of important people, or crusade against ninja forces, etc.

The Hokage is undoubtedly an important figure.

Marking an S-class is not a big problem.

"S-class?!"

Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaim.

As a ninja, he naturally knows what the S-class represents.

Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for Shinobi to receive an S-class mission.

Because it's pure death.

Even Sasuke Uchiha, who had always been calm, showed a surprised expression when he heard this.

Only Hinata Hinata is calmer.

In her opinion, Natsume is right no matter what she does.

It is a state of blind trust.

"What is it?!"

Naruto Uzumaki quickly took a look in his eager eyes.

With his character, he doesn't care about the deep meaning behind it at all, and is only excited to be able to perform S-class missions.

Uchiha Sasuke was a little helpless, and sure enough.

"Protect the Hokage and go to the Metropolis of the Fire Country."

Natsume said with a smile.

"Protecting the Hokage, isn't that just protecting Natsume-sensei?"

Naruto Uzumaki was stunned, showing a disappointed expression, and said, "In this case, what danger is there." ”

The Hokage travels, and the shadows add the Hokage Escort.

The three of them are shino, and they are the ones who play soy sauce.

"No, just the four of us."

Natsume shook his head and said.

"That's fine!"

Naruto Uzumaki said energetically, "I'll protect the sensei." ”

Sasuke Uchiha frowned.

The Hokage travels alone.

The danger is necessarily terrible.

It's normal to be rated S-class.

He subconsciously clenched his fists, instinctively a little scared, but quickly returned to normal.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, he will not be afraid of any difficulties.

Natsume took their expressions into his eyes.

Overall, not bad.

But it's hard to say in practice.

In the original work, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno, who were two years older than now, met Momochi Zaibu.

The first battle can be described as bad, and I was too frightened by the murderous aura to move.

It's a lot stronger now, but it's still not a real battle.

Most of the people who came to assassinate Natsume were vicious wandering ninjas or traitorous ninjas.

They don't show mercy.

"Give you an hour to prepare, and then assemble at the village gate."

Natsume reminded, "Remember to bring a change of clothes and enough ninja gear."

"Okay!"

Naruto Uzumaki turned and ran away, as if some ferocious dog was chasing him.

Sasuke Uchiha turned into a black shadow and disappeared.

"Brother Natsume, see you later."

Hinata Hinata nodded her little head, and then left obediently.

Natsume retracted her gaze and returned to the Hokage's office.

He played with Tsunade for a while this morning, but he didn't expect that the time had passed, which also caused him to be late.

Now that he wants to leave Konoha Village, he must inform Yurihong and the others, lest they think that the Hokage has disappeared tragically within two days of taking office.

Natsume picked up a document casually.

This is the list of ninjas he has Sunset Red put together.

He was also the person who supported Ape Fei Asma in the last Shangnin meeting.

The Sarufei clan and the Shimura clan are the majority of the upper ninja.

Natsume plans to let them carry out more dangerous missions in the future, and weaken them openly.

"Thank you, Sister Hong."

He put down the information and looked at Sunset Red not far away.

is still a hip-wrapping skirt with black silk, coupled with her serious and delicate face, which can't help but remind Natsume of several office movies.

Ahem.

It was a pure accident.

Natsume opened his mouth and said, "I plan to go to the Fire Country Metropolis today, and in the past few days since I am away, I will trouble you to watch more." ”

In fact, according to the current model of the Hokage secretary group and the Hokage advisory group, whether there is a Hokage or not will not affect the normal operation of Konoha.

"Understood!"

Sunset Red nodded, and then said, "I'll notify Kakashi and Kai immediately, and then let the Shadows come with you." ”

"No, you don't."

Natsume waved his hand and said, "I'll just go alone." ”

"How can this work?"

Sunset Red hurriedly refused, saying, "It's too dangerous." ”

"Sister Hong, openly disobeying the Hokage's orders is not what a secretary should do."

Natsume smiled and said.

"I ...... That was not what I meant. ”

Sunset Red panicked and explained, "I'm just worried about your safety. ”

"I know what you mean, but you should trust the Hokage."

Natsume blinked and said, "The Hokage is the strongest ninja in Konoha. ”

"I'm sorry."

Sunset Hong felt the confidence, her face was a little red, she nodded, and said.

"No need to apologize."

Natsume waved his hand and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes."

Sunset took out a letter from her bosom and said, "This is a letter from the Wind Shadow." ”

Natsume raised an eyebrow.

Wind Shadow Rasa?

In the original work, he was plotted by Orochimaru and died.

Later, he was impersonated and involved the Sand Hidden Village in the so-called Konoha Collapse Plan.

In the end, Sarutobi died, Orochimaru lost both arms, and Iairo became the biggest winner, succeeding Kazekage.

Now because of Natsume, Orochimaru still stays in Konoha with peace of mind.

Naturally, Luo Sha did not die.

To this end, he also gave 90 Destiny Points.

Natsume thought about opening the envelope, thinking it was a shinobi exam, but it wasn't, it was an alliance.

At this time, the Sand Hidden Village and Konoha Village are far from being as close as in the original work, and it can only be said that the relationship is very ordinary.

In the Third Shinobi War, the two villages did not fight.

The reason is that Shayin Village was invaded by Yunyin Village and was no longer able to expand externally.

After the end of this war, the Wind Country was quite dissatisfied and directly cut financial support.

This is also why Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha pretending to be Raksha will go so well.

Because Shayin Village is too poor.

The village of Konoha next door is very rich, and if there is such an opportunity, it will naturally not let it go.

And after the plan failed, the village of Sand Yin formed an alliance very decisively.

In order to be able to rely on Konoha to relieve the pressure of survival.

Natsume finished reading Rasha's handwritten letter and fell into deep thought.

If he didn't know that the Shimura group was hiding in the village of Sand Hide, he might think it was a real alliance.

After all, Rosa has been forced to become a gold miner, struggling to maintain the village's expenses every day.

But with the addition of Shimura Danzo, it's a little different.

It's a good opportunity, though.

While showing force, and taking down the alliance of Sand Hidden Village, Natsume, the Hokage, will become very stable.

"Sister Hong, go and reply."

Natsume thought silently for a while, raised his head, and said, "Let's just say that Konoha Village agrees to form an alliance, and the specific details will be discussed." ”

"Okay."

Sunset Red wasn't surprised.

Most people would choose peace, not war.

Natsume admired her back and stretched.

He got up and left the Hokage's office.

Because it was less than an hour, he didn't go to the entrance of the village, but came to the Mizukage's office.

In more than three years, Wuyin Village has become a lot richer.

The first is that Terumi ended the bloody rule of Goji Yakura, and gradually reconnected with the surrounding countries and ninja villages.

Second, the opening of five waterways has brought a lot of people.

Someone naturally has a business.

Wuyin Village has also become vibrant.

However, it is not easy to heal the pain.

The fundamental problem remains unsolved, and that is that there are too few ninjas.

Three generations of Mizukage plus four generations of Mizukage, so many years, a large number of ninjas have been lost.

It is impossible for the Fog Hidden Village to regain its original strength within three years.

"Morning, Mizukage-sama."

Natsume sat down unceremoniously at his desk.

"It's noon."

Terumi glanced at him, unconcerned about his behavior.

In recent years, they have become quite acquainted.

Just the last layer of window paper.

But she thought it was good.

He is Mizukage, and Natsume is the leader of an organization.

Together is unlikely.

"Why are you wearing this dress again?"

Natsume sighed and said, "This doesn't reflect your beauty at all." ”

After more than three years of training, Terumi has become more and more mature and sophisticated, and has become a qualified water shadow, which is already very close to her in the original work.

"Hmph, I'm Mizukage, not your subordinate."

A faint coldness appeared on Terumi's delicate face, and she said, "What clothes I wear has nothing to do with you. ”

"Then what if I help you form an alliance with Konoha Village?"

Natsume asked with a smile.

The relationship between Konoha Village and Fog Hidden Village is relatively bad.

Because of two actions in the Third Shinobi War.

The first is the sneak attack of the seven people who endure the sword.

The second is the three-tailed self-explosion.

The result was the deaths of Maite Day and Nohara Rin.

Terumi had already proposed the idea of forming an alliance to the other four major villages.

Because in her opinion, Wuyin Village can no longer withstand the toss.

But it was rejected by Yunyin Village and Konoha Village.

The former simply did not want to form an alliance, and the latter because of the grievances between the two villages.

Natsume now mentions that in addition to him being the Hokage, there are also three more years that have passed.

As long as the Fog Hidden Village pays some price, the alliance doesn't matter.

"Can you?"

There was suspicion in Terumi's tone.

She investigated Natsume.

Konoha Village does not have a ninja named Takashi, and it has nothing to do with the Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce.

Although he himself said that there were people over there, she didn't believe it all.

At most, he thinks he does know some ninjas.

It's just that the alliance is different.

It is impossible to succeed without going through the Hokage.

"Naturally."

Natsume said as she looked at her snow-white neck and the undulating arc of her breathing.

Terumi noticed his unbridled eyes, but she didn't say anything.

Anyway, I'm used to seeing it, and I don't care about this little loss.

She cares more about the truth of Natsume's words.

Although he knew that he had great powers, it was impossible to drive Konoha Village, the strongest of the five major villages.

"Konoha Village has recently had a new Hokage, you know?"

Natsume continued to ask.

"Well, I heard that it's Tsunade's apprentice, called Natsume, and he's very young."

Terumi nodded, thought of a possibility, and asked, "Do you know him?" ”

"Don't you have a portrait of the new Hokage?"

Natsume didn't answer her question and asked again.

"It hasn't been sent back yet."

Terumi explained, "Konoha Village is too far away from us, and Natsume's reputation wasn't particularly prominent before, so we didn't care. ”

"I see."

Natsume could understand why she saw herself so indifferent.

He lowered his head and leaned in front of her, almost kissing her.

"You...... Do? ”

Terumi subconsciously leaned back, tilted her head, and her heart beat violently.

"Let you see what the new Hokage looks like."

Natsume won't say that he wants to take advantage.

But seeing her embarrassed look, he was very satisfied.

This shows that she still has a good impression of herself.

"What did you say?!"

Terumi reacted and immediately turned her head and stared at him.

Because he was so shocked, he didn't care about the distance between the two people.

Natsume could clearly feel her warm breath and the faint fragrance.

"I'm the Hokage."

“……”

Terumi's pupils contracted, and her rosy lips opened slightly, forgetting to close.

It took a long time for her to realize that the two men were too close.

Her face suddenly turned a little flushed, and she turned her head again and said, "You...... You don't have to joke. ”

"Do you think that the Flying Thunder God technique can be accessed by any person?"

The corners of Natsume's mouth curled up and said, "If you don't believe me, I can take you to the Hokage's office." ”

Terumi was stunned.

Could it be true?

Isn't that outrageous?

She looked at Natsume's overly handsome face and couldn't help but be speechless.

"You let me slow down."

Terumi doesn't know what to do with Natsume right now.

He is the Hokage, so in the past three years, has he betrayed the Fog Hidden Village?

It turns out that the traitor turned out to be myself?

Or the Mizukage.

"On what terms?"

After all, Terumi can't refuse the benefits of an alliance.

And cooperating with Natsume, aside from the risks, has indeed gained a lot of benefits.

At least it saved several years of development time in Wuyin Village.

Now, if an alliance is formed, the two villages will no longer fight, which is acceptable.

"The first condition is to return the blue white eyes to the Hyuga clan."

Natsume held up a finger and said.

Well, by the way, please your future father-in-law.

"Yes."

Terumi pondered for a moment, nodded and said.

The white eye is not as powerful as it seems.

For the improvement of green strength in general.

It doesn't hurt to give it back to Konoha.

"Second, how was Mizukage-sama's first kiss?"

Natsume suddenly changed his words, and a smile appeared on his face.

"What are you talking about?!"

Terumi said subconsciously, "It's impossible. ”

"That's fine."

Natsume just casually mentioned it and teased her, but she didn't really want to blackmail her, "If you don't want to, I'll change the conditions." ”

"Are you kidding me?"

Terumi glared at him, but for some reason, she was very angry when she saw him give up so easily.

Am I so unattractive? Isn't it worth your extra words?

Thinking of this, she suddenly got up and bit Natsume's lips hard.

Four thousand words.
