In Konoha, Naruto lies down

Naruto spoke a lot in one breath, all of which he found very troublesome. As long as it involved the village's top leaders, he would find it troublesome.

Tsunade patted his shoulder and looked at him with some amusement.

"Are you looking down on me too much?"

"Ah?" Naruto was choked for a moment.

His insights into Konoha's high-level officials actually only exist in the plot. If you say that he has any thorough understanding of them, that's definitely not the case.

Tsunade reached out again, pinched Naruto's face with both hands, and asked with a smile.

"What do you think the village was built on?"

"Probably the families united together to form a group that supports each other, abandoning their prejudices and concluding a seal of reconciliation..." Naruto said intermittently.

"I memorized it at Ninja School, but it's been so long I forgot."

"You can't trust everything you read in books." Tsunade said with a smile, "The village was built by the first generation through force, whether it was the Uchiha clan or other clans."

"It was power that allowed Konoha to emerge from the long war."

"Isn't the First Hokage a peace-loving person?" Naruto swallowed and said with a wry smile.

"Love peace and love armed conflict?" Tsunade asked in return, "There has never been any real peace in the ninja world. Where there are people, fighting will never stop."

"The will of fire of that old man Sandaime is indeed good. The land of Konoha is full of life and endless vitality."

"But Konoha, after all, was founded by force and used to maintain peace in the ninja world. There's no reason for it to change now, so why do you think I wouldn't dare to clash with the higher-ups?"

"Isn't Lady Tsunade the Hokage?" Naruto was stunned. "Well, it's not that I'm afraid, it's just that it's too troublesome, and arguing won't solve the problem."

"Arguing really doesn't solve the problem." Tsunade nodded, indicating that she agreed with this statement, "I don't intend to argue with those old guys."

"Don't underestimate me, little brat. I have a lot of people supporting me. What's so great about the top management? Why do you think they can restrict me?"

"If they really have this ability, why aren't they Hokage?"

"This..." Something new suddenly popped into Naruto's mind. He realized that Tsunade was refreshing his understanding of the world.

"Because of power?" he asked tentatively.

"It seems you finally understand." Tsunade seemed somewhat relieved and released his slightly swollen cheek. "The position of Hokage has never been achieved by reputation alone, but by strength."

"Within the village framework, we do need to be more cautious and pay attention to the impact. But on some things, even if I disagree with them, the higher-ups can't do anything to me."

"Who are they? Just a bunch of old guys. The third generation is too gentle and gives them too much respect. I don't agree. Why do they have the right to attack you?"

"Let them dream!"

Chapter 211 This is an order

Naruto was completely stunned. He thought the ninja world had entered a semi-peaceful era.

The five great nations check and balance each other, and the five great ninja villages control absolute power. The village's shadow is constantly challenged and assassinated by terrorists like Orochimaru.

But in fact, the ninja world is still a world where the strong prey on the weak.

This world still respects the strong. As long as one can replicate the strength of Hashirama Senju, he can even trample on civilization and reshuffle the ninja world.

He always thought that this was something that villains like Uchiha Madara and Obito would do, but there are no good guys or bad guys in this world, only the strong and the weak.

With a big fist and a loud voice, everything you do is right.

Sure enough, the image of the Third Hokage was deeply rooted in people's minds, causing him to mistakenly believe that the Hokage was a weakling.

The Fake Hokage: The Sandaime! Caught between two advisors, he remained silent under Danzo's assassination, constantly compromising with sighs.

The real Hokage: The Shodaime! Beat up the Nine-Tails! Trampled Uchiha Madara! Gave away tailed beasts at will! Forced peace upon the ninja world!

Tsunade is not the Third Hokage, and he is not the Third Hokage either. He has no relationship with those high-level officials, so why should he give in to them?

Strength, after all, is strength.

Tsunade's words were simply telling him to become stronger, to reach the end of the Shodaime's power and become a monument, so that Konoha would be quiet with only one voice.

Whether he is the tailed beast jinchūriki or some other strange jinchūriki is no longer a problem.

This is reality, very direct, but he likes it very much.

He had originally thought that Tsunade would have a calmer strategy to deal with the higher-ups. Who would have thought that she had no intention of speaking properly from the beginning? The Hokage didn't need a reason to reject the higher-ups' advice.

It was never the Hokage who was incompetent, but rather the Third Hokage, and even the Fourth Hokage wasn't very competent. What was the role of the higher-ups when the First and Second Hokages were in office?

The village means more to Tsunade than just her hometown; it's also the legacy left by her grandfather. The Senju clan has faded into the crowd, but they haven't completely disappeared.

At least she was still here, and the Senju bloodline was still there. In the end, Tsunade only had one meaning.

Fuck the top guys.

"So, do you understand?" Tsunade's eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of a relaxed smile. "No matter what time, power can always move people more than reason."

"I understand." Naruto nodded, his mind starting to become active.

Tsunade wanted Naruto to become stronger, no longer be targeted by higher-ups or other forces, and be able to protect himself and the people he cared about from harm.

But Naruto thinks, once I become stronger, I can stop being a human! What false and abstract moral constraints, nothing can control him!

The end of being strong is to let yourself go!

"Hmm!" The two looked at each other and nodded in unison, gradually beginning to understand everything.

After leaving the Hokage Building.

Naruto first went to Konoha Hospital and reluctantly visited Temari with the mission. He had some concerns in his heart, but Tsunade's words made him suddenly enlightened.

Why think so much? If the sky falls, there will be someone to hold it up. He can just move forward without worry. The relationship between Sunagakure and Konoha is not important at all.

If the relationship between Konoha and Sunagakure can only be maintained by the relationship between three or two people, it would be better to just break up.

So, a visit is just a visit. You can say anything you want, love is what you want, and there is no need to have any psychological burden.

So he creaked open the door of the ward.

Then it closed silently.

Is it true that people change clothes without locking the door? Is the atmosphere in Sunagakure so open? Damn, with such a bad personality, he is unexpectedly pure white.

"Ahem, boom, boom!"

Naruto stood outside the ward and knocked on the door as if nothing had happened. He knew someone was changing clothes inside. He just pretended not to know, deceiving himself! First of all! He really wasn't a pervert!

Secondly, he doesn't like white clothes.

A few minutes later, Temari's uneasy voice was heard in the ward.

"Um...I'm fine now."

"Oh." Naruto pushed the door open and walked in with a nonchalant look on his face, as if the scene just now had never happened.

On the contrary, Temari was a little restless. She was originally sitting on the bed, but immediately stood up when Naruto came in. Her face looked a little stiff, and her eyes were slightly drooped.

Who said that if you catch a girl changing clothes you have to be shy and immediately have a love comedy? Naruto resolved the awkwardness without showing any emotion.

Her injuries seemed to be almost healed, and her blue and white striped hospital gown was neatly folded on the bed. She changed into a loose white shirt and a dignified black knee-length skirt.

Generally, this kind of dress only appears in more formal occasions, such as signing ceremonies, or talks with Konoha on a certain issue.

Given Sister Temari's status, Naruto probably guessed where she was going after changing into this outfit.

"Where are you going?" Naruto asked.

"Ah, let's go... go to the Hokage Building. Someone from Konoha has informed us that..." Temari looked a little struggling. "You don't like it? I'll change it back."

"Is your injury not healed yet?" Naruto asked.

"Ah? It's okay, I guess." Temari was indeed very nervous. She did want to meet Naruto, but she didn't expect it to be so sudden, which made her hands and feet start to sweat.

"Forget about it today. Let's go again in a few days." Naruto said with a little force, "I'll have someone tell the people in the Hokage Building to wait until your injuries are healed before going out for a talk."

Hearing this, Temari pursed her lips slightly.

"Would it be troublesome?"

"It's not that troublesome. The Konoha high-level officials have always acted like this. You have to learn to refuse Konoha appropriately." Naruto said.

She let out a cry, not knowing what to say.

Although Naruto was speaking for her, she couldn't really agree to what he said... But after all, it was a matter between Konoha and Sunagakure, and he was still a Konoha member. If Naruto offended the Konoha high-level officials because of this, it would be a loss.

"That matter has been decided, let's put it aside for now." Naruto said, glancing at Temari and frowning slightly as he looked down.

She was wearing her going-out shoes, her eyes a little hesitant. Perhaps she felt it was still necessary to go to the Hokage Building to keep her appointment, and she seemed to be wavering about what Naruto said.

Naruto could understand this. After all, the lives and fates of the three siblings were still somewhat connected to Konoha. With Konoha's support, Gaara's path to becoming the Wind Shadow would be much smoother.

"Temari."

"Huh?" Temari's back arched as if she had been electrocuted. "What's wrong?"

Her voice was filled with pleading, and if she spoke more slowly, she could hear the tremor. Naruto could feel that she was nervous, her whole body was trembling.

"Take off your shoes," he said, then added, after a moment's thought, "That's an order."

Chapter 212 Uzumaki Naruto! Starting from becoming the clan leader!

Temari's legs are long and slender, and a large area of ​​white is exposed where the hem of her skirt is not covering it.

The world of anime is so outrageous, the girl’s legs are really white.

However, Naruto's attention was not on that. He looked at the feet. Temari was sitting on the bed, bending over and slowly taking off her shoes. She took off her left foot first, revealing her white silk socks.

"Do you want to take off the other one too?" she asked, looking up.

"Yes." Naruto's answer was simple.

Since last year, Temari seemed to have been addicted to Naruto and could not resist his orders. But in fact, this was the first order Naruto had formally given her.

Take off your shoes.

"......Okay." Temari seemed a little hesitant, but did not show any resistance and did as she was told.

She slowly took off her shoes, leaving both feet in white socks, with her feet folded over each other. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Naruto, and her whole body was visibly reserved.

But that kind of reservedness was different from Hinata's simple shyness. Naruto could see that Temari's reservedness was partly due to...

It's really outrageous, too outrageous.

But Naruto has begun to face this relationship, and use it anyway. Temari has no real feelings for him anyway, it's just an addiction.

Tsunade's words changed his mindset. There was nothing to hide from. Strength could move people more than reason. It was better to be a little stronger.

"Where are your socks?" She looked up at Naruto with an embarrassed expression.

Actually, there was no need to take off her socks. He had asked Temari to remove her shoes simply to dissuade her from going to the Hokage Building. She should just lie in the hospital for a few days and let the Konoha high-ranking officials know about it.

The Konoha high-level officials played the role of speculators in this farce in the Sand Village. They naturally occupied a dominant position through the agreement signed between Temari and Konoha, and they were sure to make a profit no matter how things developed.

Temari is living under someone else's roof, and at this critical moment, even though she knows that the Konoha high-level officials are deliberately trying to intimidate her, she can only endure it silently. She has already made plans to negotiate and make concessions.

In such a situation, it is difficult to remain tough.

As for Naruto, if the top management's move was to gain more benefits for Konoha, he wouldn't have to care. But these guys were targeting the Jinchūriki agreement and were trying to take action against him in a roundabout way.

This made him a little irritated. Although he was only a Genin, that was because Konoha Genin's promotion was too slow. That didn't mean he couldn't interfere with the orders of the higher-ups. The status of Konoha's prince was there.

As long as he doesn't want to pretend anymore, he can just make everything clear.

The origin of this body of his owes nothing to Konoha.

sock?

Naruto simply wanted to stop Temari from going to the Hokage Building. Looking at the pair of short white stockings, he was stunned for a moment and said.

"Ah."

Temari was a little shy, and slowly took off her socks, revealing her snow-white feet pressed together. The insteps of her feet were very white, so white that they seemed to glow.

The five pink toes are slightly separated, and the edges are clean and transparent.

Temari's face slowly turned crimson, because Naruto stopped talking and stared at her feet. This made her even more nervous, not knowing what he would say next.

The anticipation and excitement mixed with nervousness slowly dyed my earlobes red.

Naruto glanced at Temari and gasped. What was this cuteness with a hint of dysfunctional relationship? He had never thought he would see such an expression on Temari.
