Chapter 24 Tobirama's Decision

The goal of Konoha was to put pressure on Kumogakure and force them to receive the compensation that the Second Raikage had agreed to before his death.

Therefore, they were moving slowly towards the border.

This gave the other party ample time to prepare funds and supplies.

Things were different when we came back.

Even with the burden of a large amount of supplies, their speed was remarkable, and they returned to Konoha from the border of the Land of Lightning in just four days.

Don't complain about how much time it takes.

The original manga mentions that the distance from Konoha to Sunagakure is about three days' journey.

This distance is roughly the same as the distance from Konoha to the border of the Land of Lightning.

However, due to the lack of supplies this time, they returned to Konoha in only one day longer than usual, which was already considered very fast.

By the time Tobirama led the Konoha troops back to Konoha, there were only a few days left until the third episode of the Light Screen video recap.

"Hiruzen, go and invite the head of the Nara family here. I have something to discuss with him."

"Okay, teacher."

Sitting in his office, Tobirama couldn't help but think back to the peace issue that Lin Tian had mentioned.

He had actually figured it out while on the road.

Lin Tian said that because that's how peace came about in their world.

Since there is such a successful example before, there's no harm in him giving it a try.

His purpose in summoning the head of the Nara clan was quite clear.

The idea was to send some young people from the Nara family out under the guise of protecting officials from the Land of Fire, so that they could learn how to govern a city from these officials.

As for the daimyo, he still needs to make a trip to the capital of the Land of Fire to discuss with the daimyo the selection of someone to protect him.

As the Second Hokage, he showed the other party the respect they deserved, so the other party probably wouldn't refuse Konoha's protection.

The candidate will be chosen from among the six students.

When the time comes, whoever the daimyo chooses will have to go to the City of Fire.

The nominal protection of the daimyo was actually a covert way of learning how to govern the country from him.

"Hmm, this job isn't suitable for Danzo, so let's not let him do it."

Considering Danzo's somewhat radical personality, Tobirama decided to reduce the list of six to five.

Anyway, Danzo doesn't know, so we can just say that the daimyo didn't like him.

Does he really have the guts to question the daimyo?

"Hokage-sama, you were looking for me?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very efficient; not long after, Nara Shikabi, the head of the Nara clan, arrived at the Hokage's office.

"Please sit down. I have something to ask you."

Again.

discuss?

What's there to discuss?

You dare to refuse one?

"Please speak, Hokage."

"I need you"

Tobirama Senju explained to Shikabi Nara what the Nara clan needed to do.

At first, I didn't think much of Nara Shikabi; it was just sending some family members to protect the lords of various cities in the Land of Fire.

But when he heard that they were ostensibly bodyguards, but secretly they were to learn how to govern the city, the clever man instantly realized what was going on, and cold sweat immediately covered his entire body.

"As expected of the Nara clan chief, it seems you've already figured it out."

Nara Shikabi nodded with difficulty and said, "Hokage-sama, are you trying to overturn the entire ninja world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall structure, overall situation, and overall dynamics)?"

"No, I don't want to overturn anything. I just want peace to come to this continent."

"Then what about you?"

Tobirama Senju raised his hand to stop Shikabi Nara, saying, "Listen carefully, I'm talking about peace on this continent, not peace in the ninja world. Do you understand?"

If Nara Shikabi was only sweating a little before, now that he heard these words, he couldn't help but tremble.

Don't scare yourself.

Seeing Nara Shikabi's terrified expression, Tobirama Senju patted him on the shoulder, trying to calm him down.

"Don't worry, I won't take that step unless I'm completely sure. You just need to trust me and follow my instructions."

What else can Nara Shikabi say?

Their clan, in terms of both size and strength, was only a mid-level ninja clan in Konoha.

Above the Nara clan, besides the disbanded Senju, are the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

Similar to the Inuzuka, Aburame, and Shimura families.

What allowed them to gain a foothold in Konoha was not simply their strength, but their brilliant minds.

It can be said that every member born into the Nara family is intelligent.

It was precisely because the Nara family members were all very intelligent that the Akimichi and Yamanaka clans took Nara along to play.

Some people even gave the ninjas from the three families a nickname: Ino-Shika-Cho.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

On the battlefield, the pig is responsible for control, the butterfly for output, and the deer for formulating tactical plans.

Nara is a family of truly intelligent people.

Tobirama Senju recognized this, which is why he had Shikabi Nara arrange for members of his family to serve as bodyguards.

However, considering that the Nara clan members were somewhat weak, he also decided to include the Akimichi and Yamanaka clans.

Of course, he didn't need to get involved with those two families; he could just let Nara Shikabi talk to them.

The matter of serving as bodyguards for the city lords of various cities was proceeding smoothly in secret.

The Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka families each sent out thirty members.

Ten groups were assigned to protect the city lord, while the other twenty groups were assigned to protect (or learn from) other officials such as those in finance, iron smelting, and logistics.

When these city lords and officials learned that Konoha had sent people to protect them, they did not refuse.

After all, to have the protection of the famous Ino-Shika-Cho (pig, deer, and butterflies) without spending any money is like a windfall.

It's just three more pairs of chopsticks; they can afford it.

Tobirama also used the Flying Thunder God Technique to visit the Fire Capital and had a peaceful afternoon with the Daimyo.

Ultimately, the daimyo selected Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha from the list of five.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is easy to understand.

He is proficient in ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu, and can handle almost any situation.

Tobirama was somewhat surprised that the daimyo had chosen Uchiha Kagami.

Tobirama's feelings towards his disciple Kagami were actually somewhat complicated.

Just because the other party is a member of the Uchiha clan, the position of Hokage is destined to be out of his reach.

But Kagami is indeed an exceptionally good person, so good that he doesn't seem like someone from the Uchiha clan.

Tobirama often thought that if Kagami really wasn't a member of the Uchiha clan, even if he might have been the best candidate for the Third Hokage.

Unfortunately, his birth into the Uchiha clan limited him.

"I've heard that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is amazing. I've never had the chance to see it before, but now I can finally satisfy my curiosity."

Seeing that Tobirama Senju looked somewhat surprised, the daimyo offered an explanation.

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will have them come here to report as soon as I get back."

"Then I eagerly await the arrival of these two outstanding students of the Hokage!"

After returning to Konoha using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Tobirama did not immediately seek out Kagami Uchiha and Hiruzen Sarutobi to explain the situation.

Today is the day the screen reappears; it's not too late to talk about it after they've watched this episode.

At exactly 8 p.m., the light screen descended precisely in the Hokage's office.
