Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 395 Hanging him up and whipping him!

Nara Shika listened to Yua's words and said with her neck stiffened, "Even so, I think Shisui is already quite outstanding."

Yuya glanced at Nara Shikaya, sneered, and then turned to look at Nara Shikaku, who was hunched over the table with panda eyes, frantically searching for information. He said, "At least, Shisui is far inferior to your son."

Even the Nara deer are getting numb.

Nara Shikaku, without looking up, said to Yua, "Hokage-sama, please don't joke around. You know I can't become the next Hokage."

Yuya scoffed, then turned to Nara Shikaya and asked, "How about your son be the next Hokage's secretary?"

Nara Shika was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed: "Really?! No problem! Absolutely no problem! Even if that brat Shikaku doesn't agree, I'll force him to agree!"

Nara Shika is also a smart person, as is Nara Shikahisa.

Both of them knew that as Youya got older, one problem she would inevitably face was:

Who should be chosen as the next Hokage?!

Everyone knows that You Ya cannot remain in office forever.

As Yuya grows older, his energy will inevitably decrease.

A new successor will definitely be needed at that time.

However, what Nara Shika never expected was that Yua was already thinking about the next successor.

No, you're only fifty!

Moreover, Youya doesn't look like a fifty-year-old at all.

It's possible that Yua possesses abilities related to the Gold-Gold Fruit.

Therefore, he inevitably carried some characteristics of pirates.

For example, even in the world of One Piece, powerful characters who are in their sixties or seventies still have a muscular physique and look incredibly energetic.

The most typical example is Wang Lufei's grandfather. Can you believe he's almost 80 years old with those muscles?!

The same applies to Yuya.

On the surface, he definitely doesn't look older than forty. Well, not just on the surface, but nowadays, Youya still gets an erection every morning.

Without a doubt, Yuya is also very strong internally.

In this state, Yuya doesn't seem to need to find a successor at all.

But for some reason, Yuya started looking for candidates for the Fourth Hokage.

Among them, Youya's biggest goal is...

Yes, it's Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shika was well aware of his son's abilities.

If you ask Nara Shikaku to carry out tasks in a conventional and orderly manner, he will have no problem, and he will be able to complete them very well.

But you've put Nara Shikaku in Yua's seat...

Believe it or not, what will Konoha be like if he takes office? And what will Konoha be like after he steps down?

Nara Shikaku is not lacking in ability; in fact, if we're talking about ability alone, Nara Shikaku is the most outstanding among his peers.

However, Nara Shikaku lacked a sense of innovation.

What is innovation?

Like Yuya, who transformed Konoha Village from an impoverished and dilapidated village into a cosmopolitan metropolis over thirty years.

This is called innovation.

The family knows their own affairs.

Nara Shika would certainly not want Nara Shika to remain in the Hokage position for long.

After all, the young man has a freak like You Ya, so whoever sits in this position must have the ability to inherit You Ya's achievements.

Do you have Nara Shikaku?

He's got a hammer!

Even his father didn't have Nara deer!

Nara Shika can easily imagine what would happen if Nara Shikaku were to become Hokage.

The villagers of Konoha would say that Nara Shikaku is far inferior to Yua, and people from other villages would also be eager to try their luck because Nara Shikaku is not as good as Yua.

If things go wrong, the situation that Youya has spent his entire life building up, where no major wars have occurred during his reign, will be completely rewritten.

It's possible that a second Shinobi World War might break out.

Nara Shikamaru also came from the time of the First Shinobi World War.

The scene of You Ya taking to the streets to call on the villagers to donate money and goods is still vivid in his mind.

He must be out of his mind to think his son can take over Yuya's position.

However, if it's the Hokage's secretary, then there's no problem.

Regardless of who the Hokage is, Nara Shikaya is certain that his son, Nara Shikaku, is capable of serving as the Hokage's secretary.

That would be a very good position.

Although……

If possible, Nara Shika would prefer to stay away from politics for a long time, laze around in the Nara clan, and spend his free time raising deer in the mountains behind the clan's territory. That would be so comfortable. Why does he have to go against the Hokage?

The reason why Nara Shikaku didn't want to become Hokage is quite simple.

He's lazy.

Yes, he was too lazy to be Hokage.

Being Hokage must be exhausting.

Although he didn't have his father's vision, Nara Shikaku knew that this position was not an easy job.

However, regarding the Hokage's secretary...

Nara Shikaku thought about his father...

In fact, although his father always brought some official business home every day, he could usually finish it in an hour.

Nara Shikaku once asked his father why, even though he worked very quickly, he always brought some work back to do.

At that time, Nara Shika also looked at him with a deep expression and told him that he would understand when he grew up.

Yes, he does know now.

He'll do the same thing after he becomes the Hokage's secretary.

He looks exhausted, but actually...

If I secretly slack off at home and then say I work until the early hours of the morning every day, who would know?

but……

Nara Shikaku became somewhat interested in the boy named Shisui that his father and the Hokage had mentioned.

Although Youya said the other party was a bit inexperienced.

But what you say depends on who says it.

For example, Uchiha Shisui was called inexperienced by Yua. Was he really that inexperienced?!

Compared to You Ya, who isn't inexperienced?

Who can be as awesome as you?

Therefore, Nara Shikaku decided that if possible, he would try to get to know this guy as much as possible in the future.

To his surprise, he soon received news about Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui got beaten up.

This story actually begins before the civil service exam in Konoha in 56.

On this day, Nara Shikaku saw the list of applicants for the civil service exam, but he didn't take it seriously at first.

As a result, a quick glance revealed the name Uchiha Shisui.

Nara Shikaku immediately became interested.

Then Yua and Nara Shika found out.

After learning this, Yuya blinked and tilted her head in confusion: "Shisui is... I remember he's only 13 years old this year... Although it is indeed the age to take the civil service exam, but..."

"Well, never mind, since he's already signed up, let him go."

That's what Youya thought.

Then, the notification was delivered to Uchiha Kagami.

In theory, this notification should have been given to Uchiha Shisui himself.

However, since Yuya knows that Uchiha Kagami is Shisui's grandfather, there's no need to be so clear about it.

Thus, Uchiha Kagami learned all of this.

They also learned about the relationship between Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

They also learned that Uchiha Shisui wanted to take the civil service exam.

At that moment, Uchiha Kagami felt like his brain was about to explode. After returning home, he hung up Uchiha Shisui and gave him a good beating.

Yes, it's said that Shisui didn't get out of bed for three days after that.

After hearing about this, You Ya remained silent for a long time, then shook his head and sighed, "He's still too inexperienced."
