Naruto, aspiring to become a well-known figure in the ninja world

"The Uchiha clan has evil ambitions. They have always wanted to steal the achievements of the Shodaime. Fully accepting them is like shooting oneself in the foot!"

"I suggest that the publication of Yi Mu be stopped immediately, and that Gojo Jieyue come forward to clarify the false content in it!"

"Then we, the Root, will secretly arrest those with ulterior motives who spread rumors and escalate the situation in Konoha Village."

The usually good-tempered Namikaze Minato's expression gradually turned cold, and he crossed his hands and supported his chin:

"Elder Danzo, I am the Hokage."

“The plan behind Yi Mu has been confirmed by me personally and will remain unchanged for at least five years.”

"If the Roots you lead really have nowhere to exert their strength..."

"Why not take a look at the Hidden Mist Village in the distance!"

Volume 48: "Wash the Shuriken of Konoha Seven Times"

"Yondaime, you're going to regret this!"

Danzo finally left in disgrace.

But the expression on his face when he was leaving made it seem like he was about to lie dormant and cause trouble.

Minato rubbed the sides of his nose helplessly: "I really don't know...why Elder Danzo has such a deep prejudice against Uchiha."

Namikaze Minato glanced at the photo of him taking office as the Yondaime on his desk.

Suddenly I realized that in the photo, Patriarch Fugaku and Elder Danzo were standing next to each other.

"It would be nice if everyone in Konoha could... look united like in this photo."

"Ketsuki-kun, come and look at this photo. Patriarch Fugaku and Elder Danzo are standing together." Namikaze Minato turned the photo to one direction.

The power within the village was divided to this extent, and for a moment he felt a little sad.

"No, Minato, if I were you I wouldn't describe the position like that." Gojo Kegetsu said with a casual glance.

"What should I say? Elder Danzo and Patriarch Fugaku are standing together?"

"I would say that the first from the left is Patriarch Fugaku, and the seventh from the right is Elder Danzo."

"..." Minato took a deep breath and said, "Jieyue, I know you have a lot of ideas. Tell me, is there a possibility that the Uchiha clan and Elder Danzo will finally reach a great reconciliation in the ninja world?"

Gojo Kegetsu rarely looked at Namikaze Minato with a look like he was a fool: "This possibility... Minato, you might as well wait for the Raikage to make a statement to persuade ninjas to read more, knowledge can change destiny."

"..."

Minato smiled awkwardly, then said meaningfully: "The Root controlled by Elder Danzo is also a part of our Konoha after all. Let him take the Root to see the first out-of-village operation of Konoha after the Third War under the guidance of Jieyuejun."

"After seeing the results, Elder Danzo will probably be a little more settled."

"Oh, Minato, you are still too kind."

"That's enough, I am the Hokage!"

The two smiled at each other, and the air seemed to be filled with joy.

Taking advantage of this gap, Namikaze Minato asked: "I have issued a mission regarding the Hidden Mist Village in the name of the Hokage."

"According to investigations, the four major ninja villages except Kirigakure seem to have been in quite a mess recently, but it has not risen to the level of rebellion."

"Jieyue-kun, what are you going to write about in the next article that will be published on the front page of Yimu?"

"This……"

Gojo Jieyue touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

His original plan was to capture a member of the Hidden Cloud Village and torture him to death, but now, considering the turbulent situation in the entire ninja world, he has some new ideas.

Let's talk about the Land of Earth first. The Land of Earth is too earthy, and Gojo Jieyue doesn't think highly of it. Another point is that there is a deep contradiction between Iwagakure and Kumogakure, and they can restrain each other.

Let’s put the Land of Earth aside for now.

Let’s look at Kirigakure and Sand Village.

Kirigakure is already being targeted. In addition, this time they are being fleeced by Konoha and Kumogakure together, so it is not a good idea to target them too hard, lest Kirigakure ninjas come to fight Konoha.

After looking around like this, there is only one Sand Village.

In the past ninja wars, Sunagakure was among the most prosperous tribes, and now it's time to take revenge.

Gojo Jieyue cleared his throat: "I have a plan that can cause civil strife in Sunagakure!"

"what?!"

Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Have you thought of an article so quickly?"

"Well, if this article were used in the first issue, the people in Sunagakure might scoff at it."

"But after two issues of 'Yi Mu', most of the petty ninjas, nobles, cowards, and businessmen among them have already developed a yearning for the Konoha in the book."

"So, even if the following article says so, they will choose to try it."

Gojo Jieyue only felt that he had a handy fan at hand. If he had it, the atmosphere would be just right.

"Stop being so pretentious!"

"The title of the article is: "Wash the Shuriken of Konoha Seven Times"

"?"

Gojo Jieyue's thoughts were completely opened, and he spoke clearly and quickly:

[There is a Ichiraku Ninja Tool Shop in Konoha]

[A wandering villager in Konoha's Sand Village. Like the villagers of Konoha, he washes the swords for the Konoha Ninja Tool Shop in his spare time to earn a living.]

[There is an unwritten rule in Konoha's Ninja Tool Shop that the Ninja Tools must be washed seven times with water. The work of washing Ninja Tools is paid by the piece.]

[This wandering villager was tired after a day of work and didn't get much money. So he came up with a plan and washed his sword less often from then on.]

[Sure enough, his work efficiency was greatly improved, and he was valued by his boss, so his salary naturally increased rapidly. The villagers of Konoha who washed shuriken together to earn a living asked him for tips. He said without reservation: "Look, what's the difference between washing shuriken seven times and washing shuriken five times? Just wash it twice less." The villagers of Konoha nodded, but gradually alienated from him.]

[The owner of Ichiraku Ninja Tool Shop has two prerequisites for judging people: one, you are innocent; the other, you are honest. Therefore, the owner of the Ninja Tool Shop only occasionally checks the cleaning of shuriken]

[During a random check, the boss used chakra to measure that the shuriken had not been washed enough times, so he questioned the Sand Villager. He argued: "Wouldn't washing the shuriken five times and seven times keep the shuriken clean the same?" The boss just said indifferently: "You are a dishonest person, please leave."]

[This Sand Villager walked to the street, feeling indignant... In order to make a living, he went to another ninja tool shop in the village to apply for a job as a hand-washing swordsman]

[The boss looked at him for a long time before saying, "You are the Sand Village villager who only washed the shuriken five times, right? Sorry, we don't need you!" The second, the third... he kept hitting a wall.]

[Not only that, his landlord soon asked him to move out because his "reputation" had a negative impact on the work of other tenants (mostly Konoha villagers)]

[Officials in charge of foreign affairs also talked to him specifically, hoping that he could go to other countries because he had influenced the atmosphere of Konoha... With no other choice, he had to pack up and move to another country to start all over again.]

[He warned the villagers of Sand Village who were preparing to make a living in Konoha with great sorrow: "When you wash your sword in Konoha, you must wash it seven times!"

[After hearing about this incident, a minister of the Kingdom of Wind who wished to remain anonymous said: “My first reaction after hearing about this incident was shame, and then reflection.”]

[“We should be ashamed of the dishonesty of the villagers and the people.”]

[“We should reflect on whether Konoha’s success in the Ninja Wars is related to the shuriken that were washed seven times with water.”]

[“Because, the shuriken that has been washed seven times represents the cohesion of the village and the ability of metal to maintain its sharpness when killing the enemy.”]

_(:з」∠)_Votes

Volume 49: After entering the village, I had my own advisor to debate with me.

"This is 'Konoha's Shuriken Must Be Washed Seven Times'!"

Gojo Jieyue shouted sternly.

Namikaze Minato couldn't help but be horrified and lost all desire to sleep.

Minato felt that under the influence of Gojo Kegetsu, he had understood everything he should and should not understand.

If you cut open the yellow hair, half of it might be black, called Gojo Jieyue.

But even so...

He also found it difficult to think of what words to use to describe such an article.

I understand all the words, but they are together yet separate.

As we all know, the Sand Village is extremely dry and water-scarce.

Even if you are a descendant of nobility or the son of the Wind Shadow, the privileges you can enjoy in terms of "water" are limited.

Because of its unique geographical environment, it has become a closed and cruel ninja village. There are not many permanent villagers, but it is one of the five major ninja villages, so how few can there be?

Namikaze Minato could probably imagine that scene—

Those who were addicted to "Yimu" and the corrupt elders like Mitomon waved their hands and vigorously promoted the "wash seven times" plan regardless of the village's conditions.

Or maybe the story in Honmura where the petty ninja of Oki questioned the owner of the Sunagakure Ninja Tool Shop, asking why the shuriken were not washed more often? Was he trying to kill them in the Ninja War because of a slight mistake?

Or maybe ordinary villagers were aroused by their desire to win, and started shouting "Are we worse than the villagers of Konoha?" and began to disobey the village's orders and draw their swords.

Of course, "Yi Mu" is issued to the whole ninja world, not just to the Sand Village. But in the ninja world, only the Sand Village is extremely short of water, and it doesn't matter if other villages wash the shuriken seven times.

As for Sunagakure...there might even be unrest due to the issue of water resource distribution.

This is what Gojo Kegetsu said, "targeting Sunagakure."

Namikaze Minato woke up from Gojo Kegetsu's "illusion".

He groaned for a moment and said, "Jie Yue Jun, I can probably understand your thoughts."

"But all of this still cannot avoid a key question, that is... Will Sunagakure believe it?"

Indeed, from the perspective of a native of Konoha, it is really hard to believe that other villages would go to such lengths to learn from Konoha.

"Believe it, of course I will. Only with Konoha as a reference, other villages will lose their minds and follow suit."

"Because our Konoha's battle record can be checked. We get C every time and win every time."

Gojo Kegetsu spread his hands and pointed out the core of the problem: "They are both in the ninja world. The high-pressure environment of Kirigakure and Sand Village is obviously more suitable for cultivating strong ninjas. Why can't they be a match for us in Konoha even if they join forces?"

"This question is a question in the minds of all the people from other villages."

"If I were to guess, the work of the advisory groups from other villages every day is to analyze the reasons why our Konoha is so strong, and to try to solve this mystery."

"The moon in Konoha is round, the air in Konoha is sweet, the Hokage Rock in Konoha is beautiful, and the freedom of speech in Konoha is guaranteed. The strength of Konoha is definitely inseparable from these..."

"As long as we learn from Konoha, everything will be fine!"

"They won't know that the air is sweet because there are so many books; the Hokage Rock is beautiful because of slogans; freedom of speech is because I write good stories; the moon is round because... cough cough, I can't tell you this now."

"I even think that each ninja village will try to make friends with Konoha, send young ninjas from their own village to study, and hold joint Chunin and Genin exams."

Gojo Jieyue patted the Yimu magazine on the table and said, "After Yimu enters the village, there will be consultants to debate for it."

"Praise Yimu!"

"Also... the Ichiraku Ninja Tool Shop mentioned in the article is the exact name of the shop. If someone secretly confirms it, the story of Yimurri will..."

"Don't worry, I'm quite familiar with the hand-fighting uncle. At worst, I can write an article for him to advertise, and ask him to put pressure on the owner of the ninja tool shop to make the owner of the ninja tool shop cooperate with our promotion of "Shuriken"."

"It's done like this."

"You are really..." Namikaze Minato wanted to shout "birth", but he swallowed the words when they came to his lips: "Praise Yimu!"

……

……

"Danzo, what should we do?"

"Follow me and seal yourself, and wait for the general trend."

Danzo Shimura went deeper into the darkness, with a gloomy face, thinking about something.
