From Hokage to Visionary
Page 35
A new week has begun, and as usual, I would like to ask for the support of all the audience, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and follow-up reading. I can't repay you in any way, so I will stock up more manuscripts during the new book period, and update for you all when it is on the shelves!

Chapter 50 Times have changed
I have to say that when he was young, Nara Shikaku looked quite capable of fighting.
At first glance, he looks almost exactly like Nara Shikamaru, with the Nara family's symbolic ponytail and a green jonin vest.
He has a calm and steady temperament and is experienced in dealing with people. No wonder he was entrusted with important tasks by Sarutobi Hiruzen at such a young age.
"Thank you for your hard work. Since this is the order from the Hokage, let's go now."
Since he had nothing to do recently, Uchiha Sotsuki nodded and agreed.
"No, you're welcome."
Nara Shikaku pulled up a smile at the corner of his lips and said modestly: "I feel much more relieved with the Uchiha clan's genius in this Chunin Exam. I hope you can help me."
The two of them exchanged hypocritical compliments and then left the Uchiha residence together.
"I heard that you, Zong Yue, are very good at illusion?"
As they were walking, Nara Shikaku suddenly started a conversation for no reason, and it seemed that he had some hidden meaning.
"Hmm? That's right, Mr. Shikaku."
Hearing this, Uchiha Munetsuki pushed his glasses frame and said calmly, "My Sharingan seems to be more talented in illusion. Why did Mr. Shikaku suddenly ask this?"
He quietly entered the state of clairvoyance and took in all of Nara Shikaku's mental activities, emotions, states, etc.
Vigilance, suspicion, confusion. Nara Shikaku's psychological and emotional activities can be said to be quite frequent.
"Ah, hahahaha. Nothing much, just a little curious."
Nara Shikaku's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, but he quickly covered it up and pretended to chat casually, saying, "To be honest, I have been a little worried recently. I heard that you, Sogetsu, are very good at this, so I plan to try your psychological therapy."
"So that's how it is. If it's Mr. Shikaku, I can give you a 20% discount." Uchiha Sogetsu said gently.
There was no flaw in either his answer or his facial expression.
"Well, I'll definitely give it a try after I'm done with this busy period."
Nara Shikaku carefully looked away, temporarily suppressing his doubts and no longer dwelling on this question: "Let's go over there quickly, the others should have arrived."
"Um, okay, Mr. Shikaku."
Uchiha Sogetsu's expression remained unchanged, as steady as a rock.
Sure enough, although Danzo's series of antics were of little use, they still attracted the attention of the higher-ups.
Judging from Nara Shikaku's several attempts, it is highly likely that he was instructed by Sarutobi Hiruzen to secretly investigate his illusion, Wishes Come True, to see if it had any tendency to harm Konoha.
If his guess was correct, there should be another person investigating this matter besides Nara Shikaku.
The only family in Konoha Village that is proficient in the spiritual level is the Yamanaka clan in the Ino-Shika-Cho clan.
"Haha, go ahead and investigate."
Regarding being secretly investigated, Uchiha Sogetsu was not at all panicked, and even expressed his anticipation.
Although he implanted psychological hints in those people during the treatment process, he had already guessed that they would be investigated, so he hid them deep in the island of his mind.
Even if Yamanaka Inoichi invaded the brain and carefully checked everyone, it would be impossible to find the "hint" he left behind.
If you ask why he is so confident, it is of course due to the special nature of the "audience" channel.
If a Sequence 6 Beyonder of the Audience Path could be discovered so easily, he might as well not be a spectator and just try the 'stealing' path next door.
While they were thinking, they arrived at the Hokage Building.
There were already a few people sitting in the room, and at a glance, they were basically the current high-ranking officials and representatives of the new generation in Konoha.
First is the Hokage, including three people from the advisory group, followed by well-known figures of the new generation, such as Orochimaru, Minato Namikaze, representatives of the Ino, Shika and Chou families, and representatives of the Hyuga clan.
Except for Danzo, he was probably angry because his power had just been taken away from him.
Is it necessary to gather so many people just for the Chunin Exam?
Uchiha Sogetsu felt a little strange. Although the Chunin Exam was important, it was not important enough to require the participation of all the high-ranking officials in Konoha's political circle.
He was keenly aware that this Chunin Exam might not be that easy.
"Now that everyone is here, let's officially begin."
Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly and tapped the pipe in his hand on the table. "This Chunin Exam is different from the past. In view of the current severe situation in the ninja world, I plan to reform the old system and invite the Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village to jointly host this Chunin Exam. Everyone, please share your ideas."
The leader's words set the tone for the entire meeting, meaning that it was now your turn to come up with a solution.
Uchiha Sogetsu, who was sitting at the very end, glanced at Orochimaru, only to find that he seemed to be daydreaming and looked indifferent.
"Hiruzen, I don't agree with your decision."
Utatane Koharu, the Hokage's advisor, was the first to lose patience and retorted, "Your idea is too dangerous. What if someone has bad intentions and plans to take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Konoha?"
"That's right, Hiruzen. I agree with Koharu as well."
Mitomon En followed closely and brought up the Second Hokage: "Don't forget, the Chunin system was established by Tobirama-sensei. It will be more troublesome to change the system hastily!"
Seeing that the two advisors showed no respect at all, even the magnanimous Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but twitch his face and turned his gaze to Nara Shikaku.
"Excuse me, the concerns of the two advisors are indeed not unreasonable."
Nara Shikaku, who had received instructions, knew that it was his turn to take the stage, so he sorted out his thoughts and said, "But I think the Hokage's decision is obviously more beneficial than harmful."
Without waiting for the two advisors to refute, he immediately continued: "First of all, after the death of the Second Hokage, the major ninja villages only temporarily ceased fighting. Now the situation is getting more tense, and we absolutely cannot sit idly by. At this time, the Hokage invited the two major ninja villages of Iwa and Sand. On the one hand, he intends to form an alliance first, and on the other hand, he also means to 'show off his muscles'."
Orochimaru's mouth twitched, and there seemed to be a flash of sarcasm in his eyes, but he still did not interrupt.
"My Lords, war will never be postponed just because we are afraid."
Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice, his thoughts clear: "So, we must prepare in advance. We can't do it like last time. We must unite our allies in advance and show our "strength" to let them know that although the Second Hokage has passed away, Konoha today is still not something they can contend with!"
"This"
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other. They obviously didn't think it through and began to hesitate.
"Ahem, yes, Shikaku is right."
Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his pipe and said slowly: "That's what I mean, Xiaochun, Yan, times have changed."
The dagger is revealed!
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been silent for a long time, finally showed his fangs.
As soon as these words were spoken, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En's expressions suddenly changed.
At the same time, the Hyuga clan representative's expression changed slightly.
Obviously, everyone understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant.
Now is no longer the era of the Second Hokage, but the era of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!
reject?
impossible!
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other, both with helplessness on their faces.
Now that Sarutobi Hiruzen has already won the upper hand, they have no power to refuse. What else can they do if they don't agree?
On December 12th, the sky was sunny, but my heart was gloomy.
My condition worsened, and I continued to go to the hospital for intravenous drips. My whole body ached...
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 51: Chunin Exam? No, it's a Battle Royale!
With just a few words, he took away the right to be the Hokage's advisor.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a good mood for a moment. He smoked his pipe, glanced at his two depressed companions beside him, and smiled in his heart.
The advisory system of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, was helpful to him at first, but now it is just a hindrance.
Now it has finally been completely cut off, and no one can restrain him anymore.
But compared to his mood, the two Hokage advisors next to him might not be so happy.
Originally, they could still interfere with the Hokage's decision-making, jump back and forth from time to time, and help Danzo change Hiruzen's mentality. Their life was so good.
As a result, while eating hotpot and singing songs, just a few minutes after sitting down, I found that my power had been taken away.
The key point is that unknowingly, the famous powerful families of Konoha have basically stood on the camp of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and now the two of them are really feeling uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a very happy mood now, with a few more wrinkles on his face. He smoked a cigarette and said, "Since the three ninja villages are participating in the Chunin Exam together, the content cannot be the same as before. We must make corresponding reforms, and at the same time, we must let them see the foundation of our Konoha."
"In other words, does it have to be innovative and difficult?"
Nara Shikaku was worthy of his trust and guessed the Hokage's thoughts at once.
"Yes, that's it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed his satisfaction at having such a considerate subordinate.
Everything can be told to the leader in advance, so he doesn’t have to worry about anything. Is there anything better than this?
You're rolling nm. Uchiha Sotsuki couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. This scene was so familiar that he didn't know what to say.
"Hmm? Munetsuki, you look like you have an idea?" Seeing his strange expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought he had thought of something, so he twirled his beard and smiled, "It's okay, be bold, speak out your ideas, even if you say something wrong, it's okay."
"Uh"
Uchiha Sogetsu, who was named by the Hokage, instantly attracted everyone's attention.
After pretending to think for a while, he pushed the frame on his nose, showing a gentle smile, and slowly said in the eyes of everyone with different thoughts: "Hokage, I do have an idea, but I don't know if it is suitable."
"Don't worry, just tell us and we'll hear it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hand, motioning for him to continue.
"According to Lord Hokage's intention, we should take advantage of the Chunin Exam jointly held by the three major ninja villages to show the foundation and strength of our Konoha, and at the same time reform the old examination system and content." Uchiha Munetsuki paused, and then said: "Then I think that in this Chunin Exam, we may focus on the use of 'illusions'."
"Illusion?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned when he heard this, and seemed dissatisfied with the answer.
"Tsk, Uchiha Munetsuki, is this the plan you proposed?"
Utane Koharu, who was already holding back a lot of anger, seemed to have found an outlet to vent her anger. She said with wide eyes, "The requirements for becoming a Chunin require many aspects to be considered. In addition to the three major aspects of Ninjutsu, Tai, and Genjutsu, one must also have certain leadership and organizational abilities. How can we determine whether a candidate is qualified based on Genjutsu alone?"
"Hehe, Hiruzen, it seems that the person you chose is too young after all."
After finally getting his ground back, Mitomon En naturally did not want to fall behind, and looked at Hiruzen with a look of ridicule: "I know you are very good at illusions, but Uchiha Sogetsu, you underestimate the ninjas from other ninja villages. Have you ever thought about what would happen if the illusion was broken? If that happens, Konoha will be embarrassed!"
The two men walked one in front and one behind, and their words were full of ridicule and sarcasm.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't show it on the surface, so he could only raise his hand to interrupt the two of them: "Well, Sotsuki's idea is still worthy of recognition, but it's a little immature."
"No, Hokage-sama, please wait a moment!"
Suddenly, Nara Shikaku spoke up. He felt that it might not be that simple, so he said, "Let Munetsuki finish. Maybe there will be something new to say."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him, then looked at Uchiha Sogetsu, and seeing the latter smiling without saying anything, he thought: "Okay, Sogetsu, go on."
"Yes, Hokage-sama,"
Uchiha Munetsuki nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "I have thought about the concerns of the two consultants, so the 'illusion' I intend to cast this time requires the assistance of the Yamanaka clan to build a super-large 'illusion dream' with me that can accommodate many people!"
An extremely large illusion dreamland that can accommodate multiple people?!
This is a novel idea, and even Orochimaru, who was slacking off, was immediately attracted to it.
"Keep talking!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up and he spoke hurriedly.
"I plan to construct a super-large illusion dream that can accommodate all candidates."
Uchiha Munetsuki quietly and silently concealed psychological hints in his words, silently influencing the minds of everyone present: "You should know that the illusion I developed, Mind's Wishes Come True, can construct a nearly real dream, which is difficult for people in it to detect."
"If we connect this jutsu through the Yamanaka clan, we can create a 'real dream' for multiple people."
"The biggest advantage of a real dream is that we don't have to worry about the 'mortality rate'. This way, we have no worries and can use all kinds of methods to test whether a ninja has the qualifications to become a Chunin."
