Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 376 It Was Guessed Right

Looking at Nara Shika's expression, Yua knew what the guy was thinking.

So he started cursing: "What are you thinking? His father just knows that other villages are raising the next generation of shadow puppets, so he thinks we can't fall behind."

The Nara deer also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he was still somewhat uneasy, and he tentatively looked at Youya and asked, "Other villages... for example?"

Yuya took a sip of goji berry tea and said, "For example, in Kumogakure, that old bastard Raikage is already training his son to become the Fourth Raikage."

Nara Shikaya frowned. "The Third Raikage's son? There's not much information about that..."

Yuya casually remarked, "Do you remember that rap-loving kid from Kumogakure who studied in our Konoha Village before?"

Nara Shika was taken aback: "That child? That can't be right, I heard that child is mentally challenged..."

Yuya was somewhat speechless, but still said, "No, he is the sworn brother of the Fourth Raikage."

Well, although he seems a bit silly, actually, how should I put it...

After pondering for a long time, Yuya could only take a deep breath and nod to Nara Shika: "You're right, he's just an idiot."

Nara Shika also had a "I told you so" expression on his face.

You Ya waved his hand: "Let's not talk about that for now. Although he's a bit slow-witted, he's still quite strong."

And I heard that he has been chosen to become the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Nara Shika was also somewhat surprised, then nodded solemnly.

Being chosen as a Jinchūriki is enough to prove that idiot is an outstanding member of the new generation.

Although he may be a bit slow-witted, it doesn't mean he lacks ability.

Furthermore, since he is not the next Raikage, strictly speaking, there is no way to confirm any information about the next Raikage.

"Should I go find the Konoha merchants in Kumogakure?"

For any ninja village, you know that caravans from other ninja villages definitely have internal problems.

But you can't possibly drive all these merchants out of your village.

Unless you don't want to develop the economy anymore.

Therefore, the caravan from Konoha Village must have had spies in Kumogakure.

However, it's impossible for the Raikage to interrogate every single merchant caravan from Konoha.

Nara Shika also said that an investigation could be conducted, which means that it is truly the only possible investigation, and there is only one chance.

You Ya waved his hand: "No need, let them focus on making money first."

There's no problem with caravans if they're not public.

But once it's made public, other villages will have an excuse to investigate.

Yuya isn't that foolish to use this one-time opportunity in something like this.

I wonder what kind of person the Fourth Raikage in the manga will become since his father is no longer alive.

Tsk, when Yua first took the stage, the second generation of Kage dominated every village.

Now, the three generations of filmmakers are about to retire.

You Ya sighed; time kept reminding him of the fact that he was getting old.

But he's a bit defiant about getting old...

the most important is……

Konoha Village doesn't yet have a suitable successor to take his place...

As for Minato Namikaze in the original history...

It's just a matter of time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a specific purpose in grooming Minato Namikaze; once Minato rose to power, he would retain all the authority he was entitled to.

Minato Namikaze of this world is indeed excellent.

But that's from the perspective of an ordinary person.

Minato Namikaze, now in his early twenties, is already able to serve as a branch leader in the Anbu, managing all the affairs of Konoha Village. By all accounts, he is an outstanding individual.

But that's not enough.

You Ya sighed.

I'm completely unqualified to sit in this position.

According to the original schedule, Tsunade?

Youya thought about his wife...

Forget it.

Kakashi?

Ok……

This guy really has that "give up" attitude.

Simply put, if Sakumo Hatake hadn't died, what motivation would Kakashi have to improve himself?

He is already very talented, a Jonin, and someone else's perfect child. What need is there for him to work harder?

Even if he slacks off for a month, he won't lose a single penny of his salary.

If that's the case, why bother trying?

Although thanks to Might Guy and his son Might Guy, Sakumo Hatake and Kakashi Hatake's training progress will not fall behind.

However, for Yuya, simply being able to fight is far from enough.

As for the rest...

Naruto?

Ok……

This little brat's mother has to buy a new bottle every month. How can Youya possibly rely on a baby who's still nursing?!

With a sigh, You Ya looked around. To be honest, he actually had two candidates.

One is Fugaku Uchiha, and the other is Hiashi Hyuga.

However, this was purely a case of choosing the tallest among the short. Fugaku Uchiha was only focused on his clan, while Hiashi Hyuga was only focused on resolving the conflict between the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan.

Well, these are two more people who can't be expected to do anything significant.

What else is there to say? Yuya is definitely not going to choose that.

He would only recommend one of the two men before he dies, unless he suddenly dies.

But that's practically impossible now.

I am the Hokage, who could possibly kill me?!

……

After returning home that day, Yua looked at Tsunade, who was wearing a tight nurse's uniform and looked shy, and fell silent...

"This, this, this is a set of sexy lingerie that those little girls were talking about. If you, if you don't like it, I can go change!"

What can Youya do?

I can only transform into a lustful ghost.

……

The next day, when Nara Shika arrived at the Hokage's office, he saw Yua holding a mirror and sighing.

"What's wrong?" Nara Shika asked matter-of-factly.

You Ya shook his head and said, "I've been ruined by wine and women, and now I look so haggard."

Then You Ya slammed his hand on the table: "Starting tomorrow, I'm quitting drinking!"

Nara Shika looked completely bewildered: "You don't drink often, do you?"

Yuya curled her lip and looked at Nara Shika with an unfriendly expression, asking, "After I told you to go home yesterday, did you think about it carefully?"

Nara Shika's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he shook his head: "Don't even think about it, I'm not going to let Shikaku come."

Yuya rolled his eyes: "Your son isn't incompetent, and I'm not asking him to be Hokage, just to take over your position, and you're already so resistant?"

Nara Shikaya looked at Yua and sneered, "Do you think I don't know that you're bringing Shikaku over to take over my job now, and in a few years you'll just step down and force Shikaku into this position!"

With your prestige, this kind of thing should be incredibly easy for you.

You Ya pursed his lips.

He never expected that the kid would actually guess right.
