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

"Then grant special permission to allow Jieyue-kun to form an advisory guard of his own." Namikaze Minato compromised, thinking that he had touched Jieyue-kun's fragile Chunin self-esteem.

"That won't work either! Only the Kage in a village has the right to form his own guard. Any other guards or organizations, in theory, belong to the village! Redundant weaving is equivalent to the bureaucratic dregs passed down from the daimyo."

Namikaze Minato took a deep breath: "What on earth is going on?!"

"Oh, what I mean is that the ownership of the Advisory Guard belongs to the village. I just have the 24-hour right to use the guard." Gojo Jieyue patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will use the Advisory Guard critically to gain a deeper understanding of the ills of bureaucracy."

"..."

Minato Namikaze opened the drawer, took out a Hokage token and threw it at Gojo Jieyue.

Seeing the token is like seeing the Hokage himself, that's the rule!

With this token, it is like giving the green light in the village, and any good ninja you like can be forcibly recruited into the guard organization.

As for the expenses incurred in hiring, they will be reimbursed by the village.

Gojo Jieyue accepted the token happily and bowed to Namikaze Minato: "The first generation died before the village was even halfway completed..."

"The ninjas of the Anbu and the civil servants are all a whole. There should be no difference in rewards and punishments. If there are people who have committed crimes or those who have behaved kindly, they should wait for me to come back and let me decide on their punishments to show that the Hokage is fair and strict in handling state affairs. There should be no favoritism..."

"...I was originally a commoner in the Kingdom of Flowers, making military ration pills in the Kingdom of Flowers. I just wanted to survive in the chaotic world, not to become famous among the five great nations."

"Stop going crazy here!!"

After a long time, when Gojo Kegetsu was scolded away, Namikaze Minato slumped down in the Hokage chair and let out a long sigh.

He touched his yellow hair and always felt as if he was missing something.

"From what Jieyue-kun said... the members of the guard team must be Chunin or even Genin?"

"Will that protect him?"

……

……

When Gojo Kegetsu came to the Uchiha clan again, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere of the clan had changed.

To be precise, it was the villagers' attitude towards Uchiha that changed, which in turn changed the atmosphere within Uchiha.

There used to be a black joke about Uchiha circulating in Konoha:

A villager in Konoha lost his parrot. This parrot can only curse people, and it would be bad if it fell into the hands of the Konoha Police Department. If this villager wants to protect himself, he must make a public statement in Konoha: I lost a parrot, and what it said has nothing to do with me.

But what about now?

Jokes are just jokes after all.

There were even quite a few Konoha villagers carrying bird cages filled with Ninja Parrots, hanging around in front of the Uchiha clan's territory, which was once a forbidden area for foreigners, and dragging members of the Uchiha clan to walk their birds.

Gojo Jieyue also saw that there were many Uchiha kids on the street who were not suitable to be ninjas, and were being chased around the streets by their parents with a copy of "Three Years at Ninja School" in one hand and a kunai in the other.

The once repressed and heavy Uchiha had completely changed.

"So vibrant, so vibrant!"

Gojo Jieyue couldn't help but sigh.

Only ten breaths after he entered the Uchiha clan's territory, Uchiha Fugaku led his trusted followers to follow behind and greet him.

His face was filled with smiles: "Gojo-kun, why did it take you so long to come visit our Uchiha?"

"Alas, I am so busy with official duties. Since I accepted the order from the Fourth Hokage, I have been worried and sighing day and night. I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the task entrusted to me, which will undermine the wisdom of the Fourth Hokage..."

"So why are you here today, Gojo-kun?" Fugaku asked tentatively.

"As for this question..." Gojo Jieyue took out the Hokage token from his pocket and waved it in front of Fugaku: "I'm a conscript. You know about the Kirigakure Free Action, Fugaku."

"The Fourth Daemon ordered me to form a special mobile team under the command of the advisor and go to the front line to command the entire operation."

"Conscription? Kirigakure Free Action?"

Uchiha Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was nothing. It was no big deal. "It's easy. I will go to Yugakure Village with you, Gojo-kun."

"Oh, no, no. The restriction of the Trial Secret Realm is that no ninjas above Chunin can enter."

"?"

"Well, mainly I want to bring the younger generation of Uchiha to the front line for some experience, and by the way, I will give them some pointers on their training, okay?"

"That's fine, I'll call up our Uchiha ninjas of the right age."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded in understanding. The training of Uchiha ninjas tends to be inherited within the clan, and they are not short of money, so they rarely participate in special operations against other villages.

However...Gojo-kun came to Uchiha personally to recruit people, which was undoubtedly a sign of goodwill from the Fourth Hokage!

Uchiha is finally going to slowly start getting involved in the Naruto series!

Uchiha Fugaku was secretly moved.

Soon, all the Uchiha ninjas of appropriate age were gathered in the center of the training ground.

Gojo Jieyue took a quick glance and saw Itachi, who was only five years old, Izumi, and Shisui, who was eight years old, among them.

After Fugaku briefly explained the whole story, he handed the stage over to Gojo Kegetsu.

The young Uchiha ninjas below looked like curious babies, looking at the legend of kindness in front of them that was sung in the clan.

"The consultant's kindness cannot be forgotten" has been imprinted in their minds like a steel stamp.

Gojo Jieyue had already locked onto Itachi, Izumi and Shisui, but he still pretended to be so pretentious and showed off in front of each of the half-grown children.

"This operation is special. I will only select the three best people among you who can pass my test."

"Five tests and nine tests, the first test - taking a knife from fire!" Gojo Jieyue's voice suddenly rose.

He came to a brazier, took out the kunai that he held in his hand every day like a walnut, and burned the tip until it was red.

The next second, Gojo Jieyue moved and came in front of Uchiha Shisui at a speed that no one could react to.

The red-hot kunai was already aimed at Shisui's eyes. If it moved an inch forward, Shisui's eyes would be destroyed.

"Being my bodyguard requires a price." Gojo Jieyue said mysteriously, "Why don't you avoid me?"

"Because I'm not afraid."

"Why aren't you afraid?"

Shisui blinked, the consultant...what a strange person.

This kind of attack distance can be easily avoided by the Uchiha clan members who have opened their eyes.

But he was an advisor after all, so Shisui still took Gojo Kegetsu's face into consideration: "I'm not afraid... I'm just not afraid."

"What courage! You, Uchiha Itachi, and the little girl beside Itachi, the three of you have passed the test."

"???"

There were immediately bursts of dissatisfied shouts from all around.

Uchiha was never weaker than others in his life, even if his opponent was his own clan.

[The kindness of Advisor Gojo must not be forgotten] has long been instilled into the hearts of every new generation Uchiha under Fugaku's promotion and the continuous output of "Three Years at Ninja School".

Perhaps the current loyalty ranking in the hearts of the new generation of Uchiha is Fugaku first, Gojo second, and Naruto third...

"Damn it, how could this happen!"

"Am I weaker than Itachi? He's not healthy, Mr. Gojo!"

“I’m healthier!”

"Uh-huh, I also want to repay the favor of Gojo Counselor!"

The huge training ground suddenly became noisy.

The new generation of Uchiha tried to attract Gojo Kegetsu's attention in their own way.

Uchiha Itachi, whose name was called, had a strange look on his face. No, what did the level that elder brother Shisui passed have to do with him?

It seems that I just made a pill of it just for his jealousy.

But the consultant's kindness opened his eyes. Uchiha Itachi was still full of gratitude towards Gojo Kegetsu in his heart, and walked over without any objection.

Uchiha Izumi looked around and pointed at himself with his index finger in disbelief: "Eh? Me?"

"Just you, stop dawdling, cough!"

Gojo Jieyue clapped his hands and looked at the current situation of the martial arts arena with great satisfaction. Not only Uchiha Itachi, but the entire new generation of Uchiha was evolving in a very strange direction under his destruction.

"Okay, okay, don't think about repaying my favor so quickly."

"You must remember that the consultant's kindness is inexhaustible."

After saying this, Gojo Jieyue led the three Uchiha brothers out of the clan territory in a swagger.

The three little ones were tied up by Gojo Jieyue in deep doubt and boarded the pirate ship heading to the base of Yuyin Village.

In the setting sun, Uchiha Fugaku looked at the backs of the four people, full of emotion.

"Two men and one woman... It's exactly the same as the assignment after graduation from the Ninja School. For Itachi, it can be considered as early training as a ninja."

"But just now Gojo-kun seemed to say...guard?"

"Well, at least it's really connected to the Hokage family."

After leaving Uchiha, Gojo Jieyue was not in a hurry to leave.

Instead, he put on his mask, summoned his own crew of veteran actors, and explained what he had planned before leaving.

Including but not limited to strange materials such as "materials for making anti-counterfeiting cards" and "high-definition, uncensored and refined pictures of Konoha Village buildings".

After giving the instructions, he took the three little ones and set off for the Tangyin stronghold.

"Counselor Gojo, who were those ordinary people just now...?"

The three little ones have already carried their own bags, which are filled with spare clothes, marching tents, high-calorie ration pills...

Normally, as a ninja, it would be enough to just bring some food rations, but under Gojo Jieyue's strong request, the few of them still packed up these unimportant necessities of life.

"It's no longer appropriate to call for a consultant."

"You three have now been incorporated into the advisory guard team, responsible for protecting the personal safety of Advisor Gojo." Gojo Jieyue said solemnly: "This operation is not to compete with ninjas from other villages, but to recruit people from the Hidden Mist Village."

"Since we are poaching people, we naturally have to do a good job of publicity."

"The skills of being a ninja are too rough, and professional matters should be handled by professionals."

"Those are my special propaganda team. They will arrive at Tangyin Base before us, so we can go slower along the way."

"Now, Tangyin Village, start!"

Volume 59: 4 Great Consultants, No Need to Say More (K)

"Kirigakure, why is there no movement?"

Such doubts lingered in the minds of the ninjas in the strongholds of Konoha and Kumogakure villages.

Although it has long been understood that the Land of Water is a relatively closed country and the Hidden Mist Village is a relatively closed village.

But after observing for the past few days, I can't help but sigh at how closed the Water Kingdom is.

Perhaps due to the influence of transportation, the number of people entering and leaving the border of the Water Country is undoubtedly much less than that of other major countries.

Konoha's special jonin who was in charge of the team couldn't help but recall the arguments made by the five advisors when he had the honor to attend a meeting in the Hokage Building -

Compared to other villages on the mainland, the village of Kirigakure has an additional natural sea defense line.

[Although as a ninja, you can absorb chakra on the soles of your feet to fight across the sea, but it will eventually consume chakra. And because you can't swim, you can easily be ambushed on the sea.]

[The unique geographical advantage gives Kirigakure a lot of room for development. At the same time, I believe that if there is no "Ninja God", Kirigakure will become our Konoha's number one enemy in the ninja world in the later stages of development]

[They can rely on their own economy and ninja strength to make the big villages on our ninja continent contain and compete with each other, to prevent one village from dominating the mainland ninja world. In fact, Kirigakure is manipulating the balance of ninja villages on the continent.]

[By establishing their own ninja bases and Kirigakure outposts in the small coastal countries such as the Land of Hot Springs, the Land of Bears, the Land of Iron, and the Land of Craftsmen, and by building an island chain to blockade Konoha and Kirigakure at sea, they can almost be invincible.]

[The detonating tags can't even reach the Kirigakure's homeland. Kirigakure can easily maintain its position through the "Ninja World Balance Policy"]

[But it is a pity that two generations of Kirigakure are stupid ninjas with no brains, which has caused Kirigakure to be in a long-term chaos. And I, Gojo Kegetsu, will not give Kirigakure the opportunity to wait for a strong man to fall from the sky... I will strike decisively when I find an opportunity and destroy all the possibilities of Kirigakure's development! ]

Whenever I think back to Advisor Gojo's speech at the military symposium at the Hokage Building, my heart always surges with emotion.
