Chapter 24 Tobirama’s decision
Because the purpose of Konoha was to put pressure on the Hidden Cloud Village and force them to get the compensation signed by the Second Raikage before his death.
So they went to the border very slowly.
Giving the other party enough time to prepare funds and supplies.
It was different when they came back.
With their footwork, even with a lot of supplies, it only took them four days to get back to Konoha from the border of the Land of Lightning.
Don't complain about the time spent.
The original comics mentioned that the distance from Konoha to Sand Village is about three days.
This distance is about the same as the distance from Konoha to the border of the Land of Lightning.
But this time they had a material separation, and it only took one day longer than normal to return to Konoha, which was already very fast.
When Tobirama led the Konoha troops back to Konoha, there were only a few days left before the third video inventory of the light curtain.
"Hiruzen, please help me invite the head of the Nara family, I have something to discuss with him."
"Okay, teacher."
Sitting in the office, Tobirama couldn't help but think about the peace issue mentioned by Lin Tian again.
On the way, he had actually figured it out.
Lin Tian said that because that's how peace came about in their world.
Since there was a successful example before, it wouldn't hurt for him to give it a try.
The reason why he asked the head of the Nara clan to come was also very clear.
He wanted to send some young people from the Nara family out to protect the officials of the Land of Fire, so that they could learn how to govern the city from these people.
As for the daimyo, he still needed to go to the capital of the Land of Fire to discuss with the daimyo about the person who would protect him.
He, the second-generation Hokage, gave the other party due respect, so the other party would not refuse Konoha's protection.
As for the candidate, it would be from the six students.
At that time, no matter who the daimyo picked, he would go to the Capital of Fire.
The nominal protection of the daimyo was actually secretly learning how to govern the country from the other party.
"Well, this job is not suitable for Danzo, so don't let him go."
Thinking of Danzo's slightly radical personality, Tobirama decided to change the list of six people into a list of five people.
Anyway, Danzo didn't know, so he could just say that the daimyo didn't like him.
Could he have the guts to question the daimyo?
"Hokage-sama, you're looking for me?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very efficient, and soon the head of the Nara clan, Nara Shikabi, came to the Hokage's office.
"Sit down, I have something to give you."
The same thing.
Discuss?
What to discuss?
If you have the guts, try to refuse one?
"Hokage-sama, please speak."
"I need you"
Senju Tobirama told Nara Shikabi what the Nara clan needed to do.
Nara Shikabi thought it was nothing when he heard it before, it was just sending some family members to protect the city lords of various cities in the Land of Fire.
But when he heard that he was a bodyguard on the surface, but secretly had to learn how to govern the city, the smart him reacted instantly, and then cold sweat covered his body.
"As expected of the Nara clan leader, it seems that you have understood it." Nara Shikafei nodded with difficulty and said, "Lord Hokage, are you trying to overturn the pattern of the ninja world?" "No, I don't want to overturn anything. I just want this continent to usher in peace." "Then what do you do?" Senju Tobirama raised his hand to stop Nara Shikafei and said, "Listen carefully, I'm talking about the peace of this continent, not the peace of the ninja world. Do you understand what I mean?" Nara Shikafei was just sweating just now, but now he couldn't help shaking when he heard this. "Don't scare yourself." Senju Tobirama saw Nara Shikafei's frightened look and patted his shoulder to calm him down. "Don't worry, I won't take that step without full confidence. You just need to believe me and act according to my orders." What else can Nara Shikafei say? Their clan, whether in terms of scale or strength, is just a middle-level ninja family in Konoha. In addition to the disbanded Senju clan, the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan are ranked above the Nara clan.
It is similar to the Inuzuka, Aburame, and Shimura clans.
What allowed them to gain a foothold in Konoha was not simply their strength, but their smart brains.
It can be said that there is no member born in the Nara clan who is not smart.
It is precisely because the people of the Nara family are very smart that the Akimichi and Yamanaka clans bring the Nara clan to play together.
Some people even gave the ninjas of the three families a combined nickname of Pig, Deer, and Butterfly.
On the battlefield, the pig is responsible for control, the butterfly is responsible for output, and the deer is responsible for formulating tactical plans.
Nara is a veritable family of smart people.
Senju Tobirama also saw this point, so he asked Nara Shikafei to arrange their family members to be bodyguards.
However, considering that the strength of the Nara clan members is a bit weak, he also decided to let the Akimichi and Yamanaka clans join them.
Of course, he doesn't need to show up for these two families, just let Nara Shikafei talk to them.
The matter of being bodyguards for the mayors of various cities was carried out smoothly in secret.
The three families of Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka each sent out thirty members.
Ten groups were divided to protect the city lord, and the other twenty groups were assigned to protect (study) and protect (train) other officials such as finance, iron smelting, and logistics.
When these city lords and officials knew that Konoha had sent people to protect them, they did not refuse.
After all, having the famous Pig, Deer and Butterfly protection at no cost is a piece of cake in the sky.
It's nothing more than three more pairs of chopsticks, which they can afford.
Tobirama also used the Flying Thunder God to go to the City of Fire, where he spent the entire afternoon having a friendly conversation with the daimyo.
In the end, the daimyo selected Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha from the list of five.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is easy to understand.
He is proficient in ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu, and can handle almost any situation.
However, the daimyo also chose the Uchiha mirror, which surprised Tobirama.
For the disciple Kagami, Tobirama is actually a bit complicated.
Just because the other party was from the Uchiha clan, he was destined to miss the position of Hokage.
But Kagami is indeed a very good person, so good that he doesn't look like an Uchiha person.
Tobirama often thinks that if Kagami is not from the Uchiha clan, maybe he is the best candidate for the Third Hokage.
Unfortunately, his birth into the Uchiha clan limited him.
"I heard that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is very magical. I never had the opportunity to see it before, but now I can finally satisfy my curiosity."
Seeing Senju Tobirama's somewhat surprised look, the Daimyo opened his mouth to explain.
"Don't worry, Daimyo-sama, I will call them here to report as soon as I return."
"Then I'm looking forward to the arrival of the two Hokage apprentices!"
After returning to Konoha using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, Tobirama did not immediately find Uchiha Mirror and Sarutobi Hiruzen to explain the situation.
Today is the day when the light curtain reappears, and it is not too late to wait until they finish watching this video.
At eight o'clock in the evening, in the Hokage's office, the light curtain came on time.
