I established Kua Kua Cult in Naruto.

Chapter 661 When inviting others to be guests, don’t set rules for the guests to follow.

"Teacher, it's time to leave. There are still ten minutes left. It's the appointed time."

In the Hokage's office, Shisui looked at the time. As soon as it reached the time Tatsuma said, he immediately reminded him. Tatsuma opened his eyes and woke up from catching up on his sleep.

He sat up straight, nodded, and said, "Did Daming Mansion respond to the content of the fax?"

"No special response, just a general reply received, inviting you to come for an interview as soon as possible."

After Zhisui finished speaking, Tatsuma nodded and stood up at the same time. Zhisui took off the outer robe and bamboo hat hanging aside very knowingly. Tatsuma put on the windbreaker and bamboo hat and said, "Mandrill."

The black shadow flashed, and an ANBU wearing a mountain monkey mask appeared in front of Tatsuma, saluted respectfully and said, "Hokage-sama."

"Take off the disguise."

"Yes! Hokage-sama!"

Mandrill quickly took off his mask, took out the scroll at the same time, quickly changed his clothes, and revealed his true face, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, son of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He inherited the title of Mandrill, Tatsuma's former Anbu senior, and is now the nominal minister of the ANBU. He is also Tatsuma's bodyguard, and is Tatsuma's only current bodyguard. After all, Tatsuma did not establish a Hokage guard class.

"Shinnosuke, Shisui, just the two of you come with me to the Daming Mansion, there is no need for the others."

Tatsuma raised his hand, and the two approached him knowingly. Tatsuma shared part of his chakra with the two of them, linking them at the same time, and then launched the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Outside the Daming Mansion, the figures of three people suddenly appeared, and Tatsuma sighed: "Eight years have passed. I came to the Daming Mansion as the third generation's bodyguard, but now I am the Hokage.

It’s interesting to say that the third generation was also the second generation’s bodyguard, and the second generation also served as the first generation’s bodyguard.”

Before he finished speaking, Shisui and Shinnosuke showed excitement at the same time. Tatsuma made no promises, which made them feel that the future was bright.

For a moment, the two of them felt that a white robe with "The Fifth Hokage" written on it was waiting for them.

Chenma smiled and walked towards the gate of Daming Mansion. After walking out of the jungle, his vision suddenly became clearer. The city road connected to the city gate, and many officials from Daming Mansion were already waiting.

As the three of them approached, an official with round-rimmed glasses also stepped up to Tatsuma and greeted him: "Your Excellency, the Fourth Hokage, I have long admired you, and I have a meeting with the Minister of Finance of the Daming Palace of the Land of Fire."

"Your Excellency Tanhe, you have been well-known among me for a long time. In the past three years, thanks to you for coordinating resources during the war and helping Konoha to block foreign enemies."

Both of them were very polite, and there was a trace of sincerity on Tanhe's face that was different from the commercial smile. His understanding of Chenma came from various intelligence.

The Fourth Hokage Sakamoto Tatsuma in the information was a powerful and somewhat arrogant person. I didn't expect to see him with my own eyes, but there were many discrepancies with the rumors.

It seems that the plan that kept him awake at night may not be the Yondaime Hokage's true thoughts, but the mainstream opinion of Konoha?

But now is obviously not the time to talk about this. He turned sideways and greeted him respectfully: "Your Excellency, the Fourth Hokage, please enter the city to talk about it. The Kunichi Daimyo has been looking forward to it for a long time."

Tatsuma stepped forward, and Shinnosuke and Shisui were about to follow, but found that the warriors on both sides began to get closer, seeming to be isolated. Tatsuma stopped, turned around and said, "You are watching and studying in Daming Mansion, don't cause trouble."

"is teacher."

"Yes! Hokage-sama."

The two responded, and Tatsuma also looked at Tanhe and said: "Your Excellency Tanhe, this is my student and most trusted subordinate. I hope you can let someone serve as a guide, and let us Konoha ninjas learn from the daimyo to govern the country. results."

"No problem, I will arrange it."

After talking about it, he turned around and said a few words to his subordinates, and then continued to warmly welcome Tatsuma into the city.

Daming Mansion is very prosperous. Compared with the time when Tatsuma and Sarutobi Hiruzen came, nearly ten years have passed and Daming Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes. In Tatsuma's view, it is much more modern.

Looking at the young men and women wearing professional uniforms on the street, Chenma suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had returned to the world before time travel.

The fast-paced civilians were incompatible with the ceremony that was going on at the moment. There were many etiquettes for Tatsuma entering the city, which was much more cumbersome than the time when he accompanied Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, this is the first visit of the Fourth Hokage, and the Daming Mansion must show the highest courtesy. The next time it will not be so grand.

Of course, Chenma doesn't like such a grand and complicated gift. It's such a waste of time, but today, or this trip, is destined to waste a lot of time.

Like a parade and exhibition, Chenma listened to the constant discussions along the way, but he still had to maintain a decent smile on his face. This made him a little tired. He didn't want to come to this famous mansion again.

It took a while before Tatsuma arrived at the central palace from the city gate. There were many samurai and ninjas around, but the ninjas did not wear Konoha forehead protectors.

These are ninjas raised by the Daming Palace. Although they are also registered in Konoha's files, they will not participate in Konoha's actions. They only have one duty to protect the Daming Palace.

The leaders of these ninjas are the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. The Twelve Guardian Ninjas are selected from different "extraordinary power" organizations in the Land of Fire. The Fire Temple and Konoha Hidden Village are all Twelve Guardian Ninjas. talent pool.

When they were about to enter the palace gate, a group of ninjas came forward. The leader said: "Your Excellency the Fourth Hokage, we need to check whether you are carrying weapons or other dangerous objects."

"I am the biggest danger." Tatsuma made a joke, then opened his arms and said: "How can I carry a weapon when I come to visit the daimyo? Of course, I understand your responsibilities and concerns, and I will cooperate."

"excuse me."

The ninjas did not relax their vigilance because of Tatsuma's words. They searched Tatsuma, but they were very cautious. Even the kunoichi who checked Tatsuma's collar and hat helped Tatsuma straighten his collar after the inspection. .

"Please come in."

After the inspection, the leading ninja confirmed with his subordinates before turning aside to let him go. Tanhe also explained again: "Your Excellency, the Fourth Hokage, these are the prescribed procedures. I hope you don't mind."

Tatsuma nodded and continued joking: "There's nothing I can't understand. The security guards at custom shops will also check whether guests are carrying cameras, right?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Tanhe's face. The character of the Fourth Hokage is really hard to figure out. Judging from the information and documents, he is very difficult to get along with. When he met him, he thought he was a kind and friendly person, but now his words... Also prickly.

He didn't dare to echo Tatsuma's words. Tatsuma and the daimyo had the same status. He dared to compare the daimyo's palace with a custom shop, but he didn't dare to talk about it as a minister.

Therefore, he could only continue to laugh with him and continue to lead Tatsuma to the center of the palace.

"Your Excellency, the Fourth Hokage, Daimyo Kunomi will welcome you. We have prepared fine food and wine. Daimyo Kunomi will also meet you at the banquet. Please come in."

There was no direct meeting. Tatsuma frowned again, but said nothing. He came to a large hall. After opening it, there were countless maids and guards, but there were only two small dining tables with some fruit snacks.

There was no priority between the two seats, and they even agreed that Tatsuma should choose the seat first. Tatsuma sat down nearby, accepted the service of the maid, and ate not even enough food to fill his teeth.

After a while, the daimyo finally arrived, bringing with him the twelve guardian ninjas. The daimyo seemed to be about the same age as Jiraiya and the others, but he was a little more insubstantial, even compared to other ordinary people.

"The Yondaime Hokage."

"Big name."

Tatsuma didn't get up, but just nodded. The daimyo didn't mind, and sat behind another table and said, "You can call me by my real name, Matsu Knot."

"Then you can just call me Tatsuma."

After a few words of greeting, Matsuketsu suddenly said: "Tatsuma, your succession has been hidden from me for a long time. If it hadn't been for the battle of Unlei Gorge, I wouldn't have known that you were already the Fourth Hokage."

"I'm kidding. Didn't you not be notified in advance of your succession to the position of Daimyo?"

After Tatsuma finished speaking, all the twelve guardian ninjas took half a step forward. Chakra surged in their bodies, and they all pressed towards Tatsuma with their momentum. Tatsuma looked at Matsuknot and saw that Matsuknot didn't stop him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Heretics! All kinds of things!"

"Snapped!"

Tatsuma raised his hand and patted it gently on the dining table. Covering his palm, an eye appeared with pumping veins around it.

"White eyes! Pressure!"

Not even much chakra overflowed, but the chakra surging in the body of the twelve guardian ninjas suddenly stopped, and then...

"Dong Dong Dong~"

The twelve guardian ninjas fell down one after another, rolling their eyes. This scene frightened all the samurai on guard to alert, and the maid serving Tatsuma was also in a hurry to stay away from Tatsuma.

"Crack~"

Matsuknot folded the fan in his hand, pointed at the Twelve Guardian Ninja who fell on the ground next to him, and said: "I have long advised you to rest more when you are tired, but now that you are so rude, please take them down."

The last words were spoken to the samurai around him. As for the culprit Sakamoto Tatsuma, whom everyone could see, Matsuknot even controlled himself not to look at him.

Tatsuma took back his hand and said with a smile: "I fell asleep. The quality of my sleep is so enviable to me."

"So Tatsuma, you also have insomnia? Me too. As soon as I close my eyes, various documents will wake me up."

Matsuknot said with a smile, Tatsuma nodded and said: "It turns out that Matsuknot-dono is so dedicated to the development of the Fire Country. If I had known better earlier, I would have shared your worries earlier, and I wouldn't have thought of it until today. "

Matsuknot was stunned when he heard this. This fourth generation is a bit shameless. He talks about fighting for economic independence as sharing the burden for him?

But looking at the twelve guardian ninjas being moved and sent away, Matsuknot had a line in mind but didn't know how to say it.

As the Daimyo of the Fire Country, before he took over, he had already heard his father say that in the Fire Country, the Daimyo has the final say when the opinions are unified, and the Hokage has the final say when the opinions are not unified, especially during wartime.

Opening the folding fan, Songknot continued to dissipate heat from his head, and after a while he said: "Today's banquet, we will not talk about business, otherwise we will let down the delicious food and wine, Mr. Chenma, are you right?"

Noticing the change in Songknot's name, Tatsuma also smiled and said: "That's right. I've heard people say that love and food are the only things you can't live up to. Let's serve the food today."

"Serve! Serve quickly!"
