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

"Well, okay, let's put this question aside for now."

Namikaze Minato forced the atmosphere in the office to return to the tense state it should be during a special operation: "Have you considered what statement you should make afterwards, Jieyue-kun?"

The current situation in the ninja world is "one super, two strong, and two weak".

The supernatural one is Konoha, the second strongest one is Kumogakure and Iwagakure, and the second weak one is self-evident. But before another Uchiha Madara or Hashirama appears in Konoha, it is still impossible to beat the entire ninja world with the strength of one village.

Therefore, even if a special military operation is carried out against the relatively weak Mist Village, there must be a legitimate reason.

This is the demeanor that a large village should have.

Otherwise, the surrounding small ninja villages would feel in danger, band together, and join forces with the other four major ninja villages to take action against Konoha, which would be a disastrous situation.

Gojo Jieyue casually said, "Is there any need to think about this? Of course, it means that oil was discovered in the Hidden Mist Village... Oh no, it's a chakra metal mine."

"Ah?" Minato was stunned. "Let's not talk about whether there is a chakra metal mine in the Hidden Mist Village. Even if there is... it's hard to say whether this incident will be defined as a war of aggression against Konoha by the Ninja World. It's not appropriate."

"Oh? What do you think about that Minato?"

"I have given some thought to this." Minato Namikaze pinched his chin and pondered for a moment.

Those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to five stripes are black.

After spending so much time with him, his heart has become almost black. For the benefit of the village, Shuimen's attitude towards other villages has always been tough and black-hearted.

"Perhaps we can say that citizens, nobles, and merchants from the Fire Country frequently disappear after entering the Water Country. Or perhaps Konoha ninjas are getting lost within the Water Country."

"For this purpose, we in Konoha will dispatch ninjas to conduct rescue and search operations."

"In this way, the image of Konoha and the invaders can be distinguished in the mainstream public opinion of the ninja world."

Minato Namikaze was very satisfied with the reason he came up with for the special military operation. He looked at Gojo Kegetsu with expectation, hoping to hear a positive answer from him.

Unexpectedly, Gojo Jieyue still shook his head.

"You are so petty. We are Konoha, the number one village in the ninja world. Do we have to launch a special military operation just to rescue people and conduct searches?"

"If we want to put pressure on them, we should ask the Mizukage of Kirigakure and the Daimyo of Water Country to make a statement."

"Then...what statement should I use?"

"We have to understand one thing, Minato. The clarification statement is not to let the village explain itself, it is to whitewash the village!"

"The darker the Kirigakure is, the whiter our Konoha's special military operations will be!"

Gojo Jieyue cleared his throat and explained his thoughts: "First, we will conduct a unilateral special military operation against Kirigakure on the grounds that Kirigakure has ninja tools of mass destruction and secretly supports terrorist ninjas and renegade ninja organizations."

"Eliminate the bloody mist regime of the Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura and help the villagers of Kirigakure establish a free and democratic regime!"

"Search for and destroy the ninja tools of mass destruction hidden in the Hidden Mist Village and eliminate the terrorist ninjas."

"End the blood mist rule and provide Konoha Ninja Dao support!"

"Protect the Chakra metal mines of the Hidden Mist Village. This is a non-renewable and precious treasure belonging to the entire ninja world!"

Gojo Jieyue's words were powerful: "In the end, we didn't find the ninja tools of mass destruction, but we protected the persecuted Kirigakure villagers and ninja clan."

"They announced to the public that the Blood Mist Regime of Karatachi Yagura had already destroyed the physical and human evidence. In the end, they were forced to withdraw from Kirigakure and the Land of Water due to Konoha's philosophy of peace."

"Oh my god, the stereotype of Konoha, a noble, compassionate, beacon of the ninja world, has been imprinted in the hearts of the ninja world."

Gojo Jieyue closed his eyes and became intoxicated. Now is——

Fantasy! Time!

His words flowed in the small Hokage's office, and Minato Namikaze was stunned.

It took a long time before he came to his senses from Gojo Jieyue's statement.

She said faintly, "Jie Yue-kun, if I remember correctly... our special military operation mission did not mention attacking the Kirigakure homeland."

"Oh, is that so? Then maybe I remembered it wrongly."

Gojo Kegetsu scratched his head shamelessly. If he really did as the statement said, it would be no different from going to war with Kirigakure.

Isn't this helping Gotachibana Yagura to divert the internal class conflicts in the village into external conflicts?

No no no.

"Well, if you forget the first part and the second part, just remember the one in the middle."

"Provide Konoha Ninja Assistance!"

Volume 53: It feels so good to be pushed from behind by the village~

On the way from the Land of Fire to the Land of Hot Spring.

"Ah, this new forehead protector always feels a bit weird."

Might Guy patted the ninja forehead guard that he used as a belt.

Because of the engraving, the back of the forehead guard has a somewhat bumpy and rough feel.

The body of a physical ninja like Kai is the most sensitive, so it will feel awkward no matter how he wears it.

"By the way, what is engraved on the back of this forehead protector?"

"Don't you even look carefully before you put it on?"

Asuma Sarutobi had a cigarette in his mouth and was running like a ninja like Might Guy, quickly running through the woods.

"It says—"

"No matter where you are in the ninja world, the powerful Konoha Village will always be your strong backing. Please remember that you are a Konoha ninja!"

Upon hearing this, Akai, who was still moving back and forth on the tree trunk, immediately trembled.

The muscles all over his body bulged unconsciously, and his chest, wrapped in the green tights, also stood up proudly.

"Although I don't understand why such a sentence was engraved, I feel..."

"I feel my youth boiling! Ouch!"

"Konoha's proud blue beast, activate!"

"Hey!"

While Asuma Sarutobi was stunned, Akai's speed suddenly increased and he disappeared at the end of his sight in an instant.

Asuma is, after all, a legitimate second-generation Fire Ninja, and he thinks more deeply than normal ninjas about the twists and turns involved.

He touched his forehead with his thumb.

This is undoubtedly an attitude, promoting the ideas and attitude of the contemporary Hokage's ruling.

Tough, domineering and uncompromising!

There is a kind of protective beauty that "even if the ninja from this village made a mistake, but putting aside the facts, the victim is not at fault, right?"

This is absolutely different from the passive and weak philosophy of his father when he was in power.

Asuma thought, if it was his father...

Not to mention that the one who made the mistake was a ninja from our own village. Even if a ninja from another village took the initiative to offend Konoha, as long as it did not involve the bottom line, Dad would not only not pursue the other party's fault, but would take the initiative to apologize and choose to settle the matter peacefully.

Regardless of the closeness of the relationship and the subsequent developments, as an ordinary ninja from Konoha Village, based on my most simple emotional concepts...

There is no doubt that he is more keen to give everything for the village governed by the Fourth Generation!

No matter if I made a mistake or not, I have the village behind me to support me. This feeling...

“It’s really good.”

Asuma Sarutobi pouted and spit out the cigarette in his mouth.

Although I feel a little uncomfortable about the fact that my secret crush, Yuhi Kurenai, has been wanting to stick to Gojo Jieyue all day long since their school days.

But Asuma had to admit that Konoha Village seemed to be getting better and better under the governance of the "Menyue Combination".

"Really? What on earth was I thinking? Hong is 9 years younger than Advisor Gojo!"

Asuma Sarutobi shook his head and put these distracting thoughts behind him.

Because the destination of the mission is just ahead - the temporary base established by Konoha's advance ninja in the Land of Hot Springs.

The Kingdom of Tang is a tiny place surrounded by the Kingdoms of Fire, Thunder and Water.

It is an absolutely small country.

But because of its unique geographical location, it has reaped the full geopolitical dividends.

No matter which major power it is, it will not take the initiative to make enemies with it. Instead, it will provide appropriate assistance so as to establish a sea supply line when necessary in the game between the big villages.

But at this moment, a group of Konoha ninjas who were heading to the base stopped.

Somehow a group of Kumogakure ninjas appeared in front of them, and one of their leaders was even a jonin!

"Not good, we actually encountered a Kumogakure ninja here..."

What a coincidence! The ninjas on both sides stared at each other in a standoff.

Asuma Sarutobi's hand unconsciously reached for the short blade at his waist so that he could draw it out and fight at any time.

"Asuma, what's going on?"

Might Guy, who was still just a Chunin at this time, asked in a low voice, it would be better to leave this kind of thing that requires thinking to his companions!

"Hard to say."

Asuma frowned.

Originally, the mission description looked a bit strange, as if the village's secret forces had learned the news in advance and were trying to gain first-hand benefits.

But usually, this kind of information is kept secret. How come the people in the Hidden Cloud Village also knew about it?

Is it that Kirigakure's intelligence work is too poor? Or is there a traitor in Konoha's intelligence department? Or is it that Konoha stole the intelligence from Kumogakure's intelligence department?

There are many situations, and even ASMA’s CPU is about to burn out and it can’t figure out the result.

"But, one thing is certain." Asuma said with some concern: "I heard from my father that the Kumogakure ninjas are all idiots with muscles stuffed in their brains. They are used to solving everything with force."

"If we encounter Kumogakure ninjas in the wilds of the Land of Hot Water... I'm afraid this C-rank mission will quickly upgrade to an S-rank mission!"

"It will undoubtedly be a brutal encounter."

"Encounter? Great, great, it's on fire!"

After hearing Asuma's concerns, Might Guy was not afraid, but became eager to try.

The Kumogakure ninjas looking at the outskirts of the base did not show any fear when facing a jonin. Instead... they looked at him as if he were looking at gold coins.

Asuma was a little confused: "Akai, aren't you worried?"

"What are you afraid of? All of us Konoha ninjas are here!" Akai looked around and looked at the seven or eight ninjas from the same village, and puffed out his chest proudly.

"Besides, didn't you just say that, Asuma?"

"No matter which ninja village we are in in the ninja world, the village will always be our strongest backer! Even if there is a fight between the Land of Hot Springs and the Hidden Cloud Village, the village will be the first to help!"

"This place is not far from our Konoha base."

"What's more..." Akai licked the corner of his mouth: "If there is a conflict, the bounty will be higher. With the bounty, I can go to the ninja tool shop to buy body-building secret medicine."

"There are no worries anymore. This is the climax of youth, the moment when it burns the hottest!" Akai's voice became more and more excited.

Asuma was stunned, shook his head with a smile, and held the short blade in his hand even tighter:

"I'm really stupid. I just know that if it was my father who was facing this situation, he would warn us to abide by the rules of the local ninja village and avoid conflicts in other villages' territories."

"I will earnestly declare that Konoha can no longer fight a ninja war and cannot withstand the attrition."

"But I forgot that my father is now the old man at home. The one in power is the Yondaime who has the ability to rush to the battlefield in an instant."

His emotions seemed to infect many of the Konoha ninjas around him, who had a hint of worry in their eyes.

Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of! They have the village and the support of the Fourth Hokage behind them!

There is no need to worry about not getting reinforcements or recognition after a conflict breaks out during a special operation and something goes wrong...

In a word, the current Konoha ninjas are not afraid of causing trouble!
