Chapter 204 Look carefully, listen carefully (8K subscription~)

"The one just now is Senju Natsuhiko, our Anbu Commander, right?"

In a corner of this Barbecue Shop, Akimichi Choza, who Nara Shikaku had just sat down, asked in a low voice.

Yamanaka Inoichi, who was also sitting beside him, also cast his eyes, and he looked a little embarrassed and worried at this time.

Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza don't really have much contact with Natsuhiko, but he actually knows Natsuhiko.

Natsuhiko wasn't even a minister at that time, not even a big captain.

So he's fairly well-informed about Natsuhiko, and they've dealt with them head-to-head.

Yamanaka Inoichi will not forget that he was the one who tried to induce Natsuhiko to tell a lot of secrets.

Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen asked him to do this, he was in essence offending Xia.

He told Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza about this very carefully and secretly.

And some of the solutions he got were that the three of them worked together to transport Anbu.

In their opinion, Natsuhiko should be standing behind Namikaze Minato. Supporting Natsuhiko can be seen as supporting Namikaze Minato, and at the same time ease their relationship with Natsuhiko.

It's just that it's meaningful to do so, and whether Natsuhiko has changed some of his views, it's impossible to know.

But it's better than they do nothing and silently look and wait for someone else to make a decision.

Passivity at any time will not be a pleasant thing. Even if you have to fall into passivity, you must find a way to make up for it.

That's what they are doing now, especially when the three of them are jointly transporting people, and to a certain extent it is also putting pressure on Natsuhiko, telling Natsuhiko that they are not separate.

"Yes, the new minister. Who is Akimichi Choza?" Akimichi Choza then sat down: "He's here for dinner, guess who invited him>

"How do I know." Nara Shikaku spread his hands, and treated his old friend Old Partner very casually: "After all, I'm not familiar with him, and I don't have more specific information."

"Uchiha Clan's." Akimichi Choza lowered his head slightly before whispering.

"I met the Elder of Uchiha Clan before, didn't expect him to bring a granddaughter to see Minister Natsuhiko.

It is said that his granddaughter was Minister Natsuhiko's student, And Minister Natsuhiko also admitted the meeting."

"Uchiha?" Both Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi were stunned for a moment, then their eyes moved towards all around with some alertness.

Uchiha Clan's people meeting with Anbu Commander is not a common practice.

After all, Uchiha's situation in Konoha is very delicate, although everyone pretends not to know.

But in fact, in the swamp of Konoha high level, no one is blind.

They knew all too well what happened to Uchiha, and Anbu, who was Hokage's direct subordinate unit, met with Uchiha was really interesting to ask.

This kind of meeting is really difficult to be defined as a simple meeting, there are still many unknown secrets in it 80%!
Even though, they seem to have been in touch for a long time.

Thinking of this, both of them involuntarily started watching the crowd all around.

Anbu is invisible and invisible, even if they clan someone into Anbu, they will end up obediently and honestly what will not say.

Of course, they don't dare to ask or listen.

Once they are caught, the unlucky person will not be alone, maybe even a clan will be implicated.

They are smart people and they all know what to do.

However, their positions will also come into contact with Anbu, especially Yamanaka Inoichi and Anbu deal more often.

So they all know Anbu's style more or less. It's hard to say that at this moment in this barbecue restaurant, all the seemingly normal diners are actually members of Anbu!
If that's the case, they have to talk cautious and solemn.

After all, no one knows what some of them say, will it usher in huge trouble.

Although Anbu is different from Root, Anbu can do what Root can do.

Especially this minister, but a truly vicious and merciless Lord.

"Aren't you too careful?"

Akimichi Choza shook his shaking ones head speechlessly when he saw this scene, and then he said helplessly.

"Actually, I think you can rest assured, because I just noticed that they used a sealing barrier, and I don't want to let others hear it."

"Is that so?" Nara Shikaku Slightly nodded, but Yamanaka Inoichi remained vigilant, which obviously didn't make him too relaxed.

"I understand." Suddenly, Nara Shikaku showed a smile: "It seems that Minister Natsuhiko is not worried that what he did today will be noticed, after all, he has some contact with Uchiha for a long time. , isn't it?"

"That's right, but before that, it was just an association, and there wasn't enough evidence."

Yamanaka Inoichi said with some difficulty, even if he was think so.

"Although he took the initiative to do this this time, no one knows what his real purpose is."

"I don't think we should consider what purpose is compared. Well, because that would make things too complicated."

Nara Shikaku had already thought things through thoroughly, and he said suddenly with a smile.

"Once anything gets complicated, it doesn't always turn out well.

And if Anbu does disperse this place, I don't think they'll let us stay, even if Choza, you're the boss here, too.

So don't think too much about it, just pretend it's all right."

Nara Shikaku has definitely figured it out, and some things seem Too much complexity is really not a good thing.

Besides, in his opinion, although Natsuhiko as Senju Clan contacted Uchiha, it was weird no matter how he looked at it.

But think about it, Natsuhiko is standing behind Fourth Hokage, so it is normal to contact and win over various clans as a Fourth-Kage project.

Of course, there was something he didn't say, and that was that Natsuhiko's eyes were much better on Uchiha than on them.

"Is that so?" Yamanaka Inoichi was still very convinced of his old friend Shikaku. He was silent for a while before asking: "So, shall we handle it normally?"

"Naturally, it's normal." Shikaku nodded now with a smile, and then he took a glass of sake and took a sip: "Besides, I think Minister Natsuhiko has more important things to do."

"Uchiha?" Yamanaka Inoichi, who is also extremely intelligent, knew immediately what Shikaku meant: "Indeed, they are the ones who need to be dealt with the most now."

"Look at our The minister's means." Shikaku put down the teacup, and he smiled slightly: "If necessary, maybe we can help the Fourth-Kage."

Nara Shikaku uses a very euphemism After all, helping Fourth Hokage is helping Natsuhiko, at least for now.

Nara Shikaku is Konoha's Minister of Government Affairs, in terms of department size and importance, it can even be said to surpass Anbu.

But in terms of authority and departmental power, then it is natural that Anbu will crush them.

Especially when they know that Anbu is expanding, and Anbu's size will be doubled after the expansion.

And this department has completely stood behind Namikaze Minato, which naturally occupied a great advantage.

Hokage will be constantly replaced, which is inevitable.

How to ensure the survival of yourself and clan after the complete handover of power in Hokage, and not to affect yourself from such a change, this is the most important.

Not to mention that Nara Shikaku can also guess that Uchiha's situation is not very optimistic now.

It can be guessed from the previous situation of the security department. After all, one unit is open and the other units are isolated. It is obvious that Uchiha has a different heart.

This kind of disparity is very dangerous. It is difficult to say that the split of clan started from such an environment.

Nara Shikaku thought more and more, he was wondering when did this decision start, is there Sandaime's shadow in it?
After all, Sandaime doesn't agree, so I'm afraid this will be difficult to do.

And the reason for Sandaime's promise is probably to split the Uchiha Clan from within, thereby allowing them to weaken themselves.

But Uchiha, who has weakened himself, will naturally not have so many troubles, which is in Konoha's interest.

However, this is not necessarily in Fourth Hokage's interests.

Fourth Hokage and Third Hokage are different, even if you don't say it, you know it well.

It is the strongest to win over a complete clan to make the power in your hands stronger.

No matter how bad it is, let Uchiha, who is willing to move closer to Konoha, be on his side.

So Natsuhiko started reaching out to them, started helping them, started guiding them how to do it.

Even, in Nara Shikaku's mind, I'm afraid Natsuhiko is ready to help them complete the change of power within the clan!
"If that's the case, then it's interesting. Maybe I can find a way to help them covertly."

Nara Shikaku put down the sake in his hand, although he analyzed a big problem in his heart. piles of things, but his expression is still as calm as ever.

This kind of thing can't be said, and if he wants to help, he has to help where Third Hokage can't see it, but it's obvious to Natsuhiko.

Alternatively, let the guards tell Natsuhiko that they have been helped.

It's a little more difficult to do this, but it's not a major event to Nara Shikaku.

"You said, this time Uchiha's Elder is looking for Minister Natsuhiko, what will it be?"

Nara Shikaku touched his chin, and he suddenly said amusedly.

"I'm taking a gamble, it's within the security department."

"Che, betting with you is the most boring."

Akimichi Choza is boring Shaking the shaking ones head, he glanced at Shikaku and said angrily.

"You can win every time, it's the same throughout childhood, it doesn't mean anything."

"That's it."

Maybe a little relieved , Yamanaka Inoichi was also laughed.

"Come on, or I'll tell your wife that you're secretly hiding something in the living room"

"cough cough cough cough cough!"

Nara Shikaku suddenly coughed, and he said with a displeased face after he interrupted Yamanaka Inoichi directly.

"Why are you so annoying, okay, I admit-defeat, I think it's the Security Department's business.

But, it's not just the Security Department's business"

Indeed, the trouble that Uchiha is experiencing now is not just a matter of the security department.

On the one hand, the security department has already made him devastated, and the internal problems of the clan also make him unable to let go.

What's more, Fourth Hokage is not in Konoha, so he doesn't get any strong policy support.

Without such support, he would not be able to recruit too many people in the Guard.

After all, the previous impression of the security department on the residents of Konoha was too bad, which made countless people suspicious that they didn't know there were other situations in a clan.

commoner ninja didn't dare to go, and clan ninja didn't know whether Uchiha was out of his mind or got some support.

They didn't dare to make decisions lightly. Everyone knew that if they were on the wrong team, they would be finished.

So they really didn't recruit many people during the period when the Guard was open.

The second point is the problem of clan. After that clan meeting, Uchiha really broke with other people including Clan Leader.

Such a breakup is incredible and terrifying.

This has also led to the fact that even doves don't dare to support him 100% now.

It can be said that Uchiha is really in a difficult situation right now.

He does want to get rid of Natsuhiko, he does want to avoid being controlled by Natsuhiko, but sometimes he has to compromise.

Because form is stronger than people, you can only wait to die if you don't compromise!

Natsuhiko really opened up a single thought to Uchiha, leading him down a path he never imagined.

However, this path is definitely not easy, at least for Uchiha, the difficulties and difficulties on this path are far beyond his imagination.

"It's really Elder, what happened in Uchiha recently is very interesting."

Natsuhiko waited for the waiter to finish all the dishes and left the soundproof barrier before he suddenly said .

"Opening a unit to allow commoner ninja to come in, I have to say that this is a return to the essence of the security department. The consciousness of the real Elder is really admirable."

"Minister Natsuhiko. ”

Uchiha is really cautious and solemn looking Natsuhiko, this period of time he looks extremely tough, but his heart is really fed up with suffering.

He's really worried now if Natsuhiko is mocking him because he's not doing well.

"But I actually have a different opinion on this matter."

Just when Uchiha was really suffering the most, Natsuhiko spoke again.

"I don't know, would the Elder really want to listen to my gibberish?"

"How could Minister Natsuhiko's words be gibberish?"

After Uchiha really heard what Natsuhiko said, suddenly became a little relieved.

Bullshit? How can this be!

If Natsuhiko really said some gibberish to him, then Natsuhiko also impossible to let his granddaughter into Anbu and even more impossible to start recruiting some Uchiha ninja into Anbu.

Natsuhiko made such a gesture, in his opinion, he might save himself some face.

After all, Dome is here, and Natsuhiko seems to have a lot of trust in Dome, even if he doesn't know what Dome is doing in Anbu.

"If that's the case, then I'll simply express my own opinion,"

Natsuhiko nodded lightly, looked like Dome and Lianhua had already started grilling the meat, he just He tapped the table lightly and said slowly.

"What the real Elder does is really open source, after all, the only way to allow Uchiha to control the Ministry of Guards, but also to find a way to integrate into Konoha.

However, the real Elder sometimes needs to work around a bit."

"Workaround?"

Uchiha really frowned, and then he couldn't help but sink into deep thought.

He was thinking about what Natsuhiko meant by the flexibility he was talking about. Could it be that what he was doing was too radical?
Or did he not start from other aspects to make himself appear smoother?

"True Elder."

At this moment, Lianhua slowly opened her mouth while roasting the meat.

"Natsuhiko's word for flexibility, I'm afraid it also includes flexibility, I think Dome can understand this."

"Dome?"

Uchiha really Not quite sure, he looked towards Qiong, he really didn't understand what these youngsters meant for a while.

He didn't tell Dome what he was going to discuss with Natsuhiko this time. Could it be that Natsuhiko had already guessed and communicated with his granddaughter?

It's just that things don't seem right to him very quickly, because his own seems a little lost.

However, this confusion soon turned into thinking, and finally turned into a touch of confidence.

Uchiha really saw the change of the dome in his eyes. He really found that the granddaughter who still needed to ask him vaguely about some things at the time has changed really greatly.

"I think I understand."

Dome nodded lightly, she looked confidently at her grandfather with a smile on her face.

"Actually, Natsuhiko's meaning is very simple, that is, the grandfather follows the rules too much."

"Too much compliance with the rules?" Uchiha was really stunned, and suddenly he seemed to mean something. : "What do you mean"

"Natsuhiko has said many times that following the rules is a good thing, but following the rules too much can sometimes put you in prison."

After her grandfather finished speaking, she gently flipped the raw meat on the barbecue and said softly with a smile.

"Under normal circumstances, we should use rules to constrain our behavior, so as not to allow ourselves to become an unscrupulous person.

But at some necessary moments, we can use the rules of The loopholes even break the rules to do something that benefits everyone.

What the grandfather has to do now is both for the clan to reintegrate into Konoha and for Konoha to regain Uchiha and the power of the guard .

So if you stick to the rules too much, and the action is hindered, then it will be a very bad thing.”

Uchiha really looks a little inexplicably about his own granddaughter , even if her granddaughter is repeating Natsuhiko's words, but being able to say such words has proved her growth.

Even though she's normally still gentle, she's still light, and she doesn't have any radical ideas compared to other clansman.

But in essence, she has undergone tremendous changes, her vision has become higher and her mind has become deep, Anbu truly worthy of a place to exercise people.

"So, what do you think?"

Uchiha really wanted to see what his granddaughter thought, so he simply returned the question to Dome.

"Lianhua, according to Anbu's information, your clans are now spread out.

And there are many people whose last name is not Senju, right?"

Qiong turned his head and looked towards Lianhua. They have been working together for a long time and have a good tacit understanding with each other.

"Yes, there are still many such clansman, they are still mission ninja, not working in Anbu or other departments."

Qian Qing nodded, Her voice was still so cold, but her attitude was very cooperative.

Having said that, Uchiha really understood exactly what he meant.

To put it bluntly, this is a show that has a performance in nature, but also allows Natsuhiko to intervene in the Ministry of Guards!

Use a group of members who appear to be commoner ninja but actually belong to the Senju Clan to enter the Guard.

Let all outsiders think that their Uchiha recruited the commoner ninja and are serious about doing it.

At the same time, these people can also be used to secretly form a force to control the security department. The most terrible thing is that he really has no way to refuse this matter.

Because whether it was Natsuhiko who figured it out and let Dome say it, or that's what he planned to do in the first place.

This proposal is very tempting, and it really solves my immediate needs.

"However, these people have their own things to do."

At this moment, Natsuhiko suddenly spoke, and he glanced at the grilled meat, which had already begun to smell, smiled slightly. .

"So I can't give you too much, after all, too much is too deliberate and too fake.

It only needs to have a signal, a typical, and a certain amount on the outside. Propaganda, I think that's enough."

"so that's how it is."

Uchiha really felt his face heat up at this time, just now he was wondering if Natsuhiko was To control the security department, he turned around and found that the other party didn't mean much at all.

Of course, maybe not now, after all, Anbu is a far cry from the deadly guard.

Maybe there will be in the future, but the current problem cannot be solved, and it may not attract the attention of the minister in the future.

"I see."

Thinking of this, Uchiha is really nodded.

"Then I will sincerely invite some commoner ninjas to come in, especially the ninjas approved by Minister Natsuhiko."

"Apart from this, you have to be a little more ruthless."

p>

Natsuhiko asked about the smell of the meat, then he picked up chopsticks and gave Uchiha Ma, Qiong and Lianhua some grilled meat respectively, and then he said with a smile.

"The voices in the clan are really troublesome, but it is inevitable to eliminate these voices when necessary.

Even the thoughts cannot be unified, this is not a major event Yes.

And after unity of mind, you also need a program of action.

You need to tell your people what you are going to do, why you are doing it, and what you will get by doing it.

But you should pay attention to some things when starting very ruthless. The first is not to expose yourself, otherwise it will bring you some trouble in the future.

So, I think it is really Elder You should do it yourself. The fewer people you know, the less chance you have of exposure.

At the same time, you can't do too much. Your clansman is your best support and support, and also ours. The most beneficial assistant in the future.

So the person you want to start with is the kind of person who guides the ignorant clansman, makes them think they shouldn't have, and makes their characters radical.

p>

'Beheading' on a battlefield is also the most effective way to both demoralise and destroy the enemy's faith.

After all, many times they don't know why they're fighting. .

Finally, I think the people you are with also have different voices.

Then be decisive and let them speak up, whether it is coercive or enticing, this is all It's your own business, Elder."

Here, Natsuhiko stopped.

His eyes glanced at Uchiha, whose body was trembling, and his face was pale and a little cold sweat broke out, and he couldn't help shaking the shaking ones head gently.

Do not have a unified mind to do things, and do not know how to formulate a program of action when doing things.

How can it be possible to do this?
And now that a decision has been made, it's time to make a tough move.

However, it must be clear that some people must be drawn, and some people must be resolved.

Natsuhiko must be grateful for the education he received in his previous life, and he remembers even more what happened in his previous life in the land of freedom on the other side of the ocean.

The black civil rights leader who chanted 'I have a dream' was killed because he was someone who could be a thought leader.

Think about how he could get black people to stop during a black riot, then put on a suit and solve the problem peacefully.

Then, from another perspective, can he let people take off their suits and put on military uniforms when the solution cannot be resolved by peaceful means?

apart from this , there is another very interesting example, that is, the 'Black Panther Party', which has become the mascot of Hollywood.

Natsuhiko seems to remember that the Black Panther Party at first is an organization with a unified ideology and a clear program of action.

But then the ghosts knew what happened, which led to a split in their inner thoughts, unable to integrate and unify.

And this kind of split led them to have no clear program of action, and slowly they became a 'non-threatening' organization, and finally went to Hollywood.

Of course, there are so many examples of this, perhaps that's why other countries don't teach politics.

After all, this thing has a nickname, also known as Dragon Slaying.

Gently picking up a piece of grilled meat, Natsuhiko put it in his mouth, the umami of the meat suddenly escaping from his mouth.

I have to say that the Barbecue Shop opened by Akimichi Clan is really good. Natsuhiko has tried it before, and now he likes it too.

"I understand." quite a long time, Uchiha really nodded lightly: "I will. I will try to do it."

"It's really Elder. Make a bold decision." Natsuhiko sighed slightly, and he tapped on the table again: "This kind of thing is just hard work, and hard work often leaves room, is this a way to save yourself?"

"Of course not!" Uchiha really gritted his teeth: "I will try my best to do it!"

"Then look forward to good news from the real Elder." Natsuhiko at this moment Here, he showed a smile: "After all, it's man-made. After stepping out of this step, the real elder must make some changes." with everything Natsuhiko said.

And Qiong silently brought some barbecue to her grandfather, she wanted to say something but couldn't speak.

Into Anbu this period of time she has learned so much and been exposed to so much.

Especially as Natsuhiko's private secretary, she has access to almost all of Anbu's secrets, just like Lianhua.

And this kind of contact also let her know what the dark side of this world is like.

Although it didn't completely break her heart, she was also affected in the end.

She's determined now because she knows her grandfather made this choice.

If this kind of thing can't be ruthless, it will definitely not end well.

Although Natsuhiko's words are heavy, they are helping their grandfather in the end.

Of course, Dome didn't know if Natsuhiko had other ideas.

But at least she knew that without Natsuhiko's help, Uchiha might have been really bad.

You must know that some of the arrangements and evaluations of Uchiha from Anbu that she has come into contact with are extremely negative!
"That's right, Natsuhiko-kun."

quite a long time, Uchiha really seemed to have slowed down, he lifted the head suddenly and asked in a low voice.

"If, my former comrades in arms are unwilling to cooperate with me for various reasons.

Even they start to oppose me, and I can't do anything to them easily. .

More importantly, I don't want to be cruel to my former comrade-in-arms.

What should I do in this situation?"

" This kind of situation is really a headache, in the end it is more worthwhile to follow the old love."

Natsuhiko nodded lightly, and it is indeed worth thinking about such a question.

Sometimes people nostalgic and can create a 'worthy of following' image.

Especially when some people can be killed or not, showing this side of yourself will attract more respect and followers from your subordinates.

Of course, this is a purely indifferent consideration of interests.

From a practical point of view, sometimes it is really difficult for a person to start with certain people.

Just like Natsuhiko, he himself impossible to take care of Senju Shojin who took care of him.

Even if he did piss him off, Natsuhiko would at best make him a 'free agent'.

Thinking of this, Natsuhiko planned to talk about his thoughts, but just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden noise in the Barbecue Shop.

The noise made Natsuhiko turn around and look over at our table.

But after Natsuhiko got a little bit into their noisy stuff, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Actually, what an Elder has to do is easy, not even difficult."

Natsuhiko tapped the table, his eyes still fixed on those who made the noise on people.

"What do you say, Natsuhiko-kun?" Uchiha looked at those people curiously, his expression seemed a little inexplicable.

"I'm actually doing something similar, and this one looks good, so."

Natsuhiko's smile grows wider as he says this .

"Look with your heart, listen with your heart, and you'll know."
