Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 377 It was me?!

Yuya looked at Nara Shikaya, stroked his chin, and said, "I can assure you, I was absolutely just testing him out."

Nara Shikaya crossed his arms: "Absolutely not. I know what my son is like. He'd find it too much trouble to be the Hokage's secretary, let alone let you evaluate him."

There's a saying that even the Nara deer said is true.

That is, You Ya's prestige is now at an all-time high.

It's fair to say that Yuya could simply decide who becomes Hokage with just a word.

The Ninja Army was founded by Yua, and strictly speaking, all the civil servants of Konoha Village who graduated from university were Yua's students.

In this context, it really only takes a single sentence for Youya to decide who to put in power.

Anyway, it's unlikely that anyone would object to You Ya's arrangements.

Especially now that Danzo Shimura has turned to ashes.

Yes, that's right. Shimura Danzo was cremated, leaving not even ashes.

Yuya leaned back in his chair, his hands behind his head. He really hadn't expected that Nara Shika would so seriously reject his arrangements.

Nara Shikaku is, after all, the chief strategist of the Allied Shinobi Forces in the manga. If he could succeed him, Yua felt that Konoha Village could not possibly be inferior to other villages.

Of course, this is what Youya thought.

But the Nara deer certainly wouldn't think that way.

He could only wonder if this was a test from Youya.

Or even if he believes that Yua's actions are not a test but genuine, is Nara Shikaku's position as Hokage secure?

It's impossible to sit still.

Even if Yua is still alive, even if Yua had made the Anbu or the Ninja Army obey Nara Shikaku's orders while he was alive...

With Yua's passing, will Nara Shikaku be able to keep these people in check?

If it can't be contained, it will be a complete explosion, and a bloodbath may erupt within Konoha Village.

The Nara deer are certainly not stupid, but even smart people have their troubles; they are also troubled by their inability to control everything.

That's how Nara deer are.

He doesn't think his IQ is worse than You Ya's.

It's simply because Youya has too much knowledge in his mind that he doesn't have.

Of course, the Nara deer weren't surprised by this.

Why?

This is a world where beings like the Sage of Six Paths exist.

With so much knowledge in his mind, Youya could easily be considered the chosen successor of the immortals.

This is a perfectly normal setting.

Didn't you see what everyone else did after the plot twist that Naruto and Sasuke were reincarnated as the Sage's son? (doge)

Okay, enough joking. Nara Shika is a smart man, so he definitely doesn't want to get involved in the transfer of power.

But if he doesn't want to, will Youya let him go?

That's impossible, of course.

You Ya directly had his workload more than doubled.

Originally, as I gradually became more familiar with the work, I could finish the tasks in five or six hours a day. But suddenly there are so many more, and I have to work until the early hours of the morning every day before I can go home, and then I have to be back at eight o'clock the next morning.

After a week, even the Nara deer couldn't take it anymore.

"I say, you're supposed to be Hokage, yet your methods are a bit too underhanded!" Nara Shika said to Yua with some indignation.

Instead of feeling ashamed, You Ya was proud, and said with his head held high, "If I didn't do this, would you follow my instructions?"

Nara Shika was furious, but he could only arrange for Nara Shikaku to come and cover for him.

He's over forty, his body can't take it anymore.

Nara Shikaku had previously helped his father with government affairs for a short period of time, but even so, he found the government affairs daunting.

Because Nara Shika is experienced, he can almost always find the information he needs just by glancing at it.

But Nara Shikaku didn't have that, so he could only painstakingly accumulate experience slowly.

You Ya was not surprised by this.

After all, the Nara deer also came to be this way step by step.

Everything takes time to adapt to, and You Ya is not the kind of person who expects the father and son to solve all the political affairs as soon as they take charge.

……

After leaving the political affairs to the Nara father and son, Yua was able to focus on solving her own problems.

Yua certainly deserves great credit for Konoha Village's development to its current state, but Yua himself doesn't seem to feel anything about it.

After all, not to mention compared to her hometown in her previous life, even compared to the people of Dongjing who were living a comfortable life, the current Konoha Village is far inferior.

He still needs to work harder.

Against this backdrop, a piece of news shocked Youya.

Strictly speaking, this is actually a very normal thing.

That means Kushina Uzumaki is pregnant again.

Strictly speaking, this is a perfectly normal thing.

After all, Naruto is three years old this year, and since Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki are still alive, they are naturally living normal lives.

Under such circumstances, it wouldn't be too surprising if Kushina got pregnant again and gave Naruto a younger brother or sister.

And the most important point is...

With Yua's intervention, the allure of the Tailed Beasts' combat power has significantly diminished throughout the ninja world.

Especially after Yua and the Raikage used their acting to clear out their inventory and use up all the old and nearly expired shells, the entire ninja world now has a clear understanding of the fighting strength of both Konoha and Kumogakure.

After all, the weapons that appeared were at least three generations behind. Yuya even brought out the first generation chakra cannon to destroy it.

After so many years, the original cannons are long outdated.

Other small villages don't want these cannons, and they can't afford the latest models sold by Youya, so they're stuck in this awkward situation.

Maintenance is also an expense, so Yuya simply took these things out for a final show and then reworked them.

Under the devastation of these old-fashioned cannons, Yua and Raikage, the two scheming individuals, directly leveled the area designated by both sides.

Literally, it's flattened; the entire area is significantly sunken compared to the surrounding ground, resembling a basin.

Given this premise, what other villages might think of the Tailed Beasts?

Your tailed beasts are indeed powerful, but how will you deal with my direct chakra cannon array?

Therefore, although Naruto's being taken out by Kushina makes him look somewhat special because he has three lines on each side of his face, it's not so strange since the Inuzuka clan also likes to paint a pattern on their faces.

Moreover, since the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars hadn't occurred, Konoha Village was peaceful and harmonious, so naturally no one would speak ill of Naruto.

It's foreseeable that Naruto in this world won't experience the same problems as in his previous life.

Just ...

Naruto without experiencing these setbacks...

Can he become the future master of persuasion?

But let's leave all that aside for now.

Yua was somewhat disappointed after learning that Kushina was pregnant again.

Why?

Because he wants Minato Namikaze to take the latest manned rocket to the moon.

Now that Kushina is pregnant, even if Yua is a bastard, he can't possibly let Minato Namikaze go at this time.

Aside from Minato Namikaze, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was proficient in using the Flying Thunder God Technique...

It seems I'm all alone now...

and so……
