Nara Shikaku didn't expect Qianye to come so quickly, so he didn't dare to drag him away. He led his son around the courtyard and came to the door to greet him.
"It is truly an honor for all of us in the Nara clan to have the Hokage-sama come here."
Nara Shikaku showed no trace of the dissatisfaction he felt when he was forced by Qianye before.
Qianye showed a warm and bright smile as the sedan chair carried people.
"Mr. Shikaku, what are you saying? The Nara clan is the cornerstone of Konoha's prosperity. Your clan's wisdom and shadow secrets are world-famous.
Seriously speaking, thanks to the advice of Mr. Shikaku and the clan’s wise men, Konoha has been able to survive crisis after crisis.”
After Nara Shikamaru's previous conversation with his father, he no longer had much ill feelings towards Qianye.
Now that he heard his family being praised so highly by Qianye, he couldn't help but puff up his chest and feel proud.
"Lord Hokage, please come in quickly."
The three of them walked through the courtyard corridor and arrived at the living room.
After Qianye took his seat, he did not play charades with Nara Shikaku and said straight to the point:
"Mr. Shikaku, after the collapse of the Sarutobi regime, the Daimyo sent a letter of appointment from the Hokage, appointing me as the fifth generation Hokage. I will go to the capital to hold the appointment ceremony soon."
Hearing this, Nara Shikaku's cold face showed a smile: "Congratulations, Hokage-sama."
"I can't be happy."
"Although the ANBU has been reorganized and put into new tasks."
Qianye looked worried: "But because Sarutobi Hiruzen has been aggressively placing Sarutobi-born ninjas in the administrative system, the entire administration has now come to a standstill."
"Now the situation in the ninja world is in turmoil, and the major ninja villages are ready to take action. Konoha must get on the right track as soon as possible so that it can respond to the crisis in time. I hope Mr. Shikaku can help me."
Saying that, Qianye stood up and bowed slightly.
It would be best if Nara Shikaku agreed directly.
If he refuses, Qianye is a civilized person.
It is not considered a breach of etiquette to be polite before fighting.
Nara Shikaku declined: "Lord Hokage, although our clan has made suggestions for Sarutobi Hiruzen, we have never been responsible for specific affairs. I'm afraid it will delay your plan."
Qianye's smile faded, and as his smile faded, the atmosphere in the entire room suddenly became solemn.
The sunlight from outside the house is projected in through the windows, leaving spots of light and dark.
It fell on Qianye's serious cheek, making him look even more cold and stern.
The young Nara Shikamaru was affected by the momentum, his face turned pale, his heart beat wildly, and he had the urge to escape from the room.
But his body didn't obey his orders at all.
"Mr. Lujiu," Qianye's eyes became indifferent: "You can't learn through practice. I believe practice is the best teacher."
"It's not that we don't want to..."
"Then," Qianye interrupted with a calm voice: "Mr. Shikaku, do you, the Nara clan, want to reject my goodwill?"
overbearing!
Strong!
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen usually respects him so much!
This is the first time he has been threatened like this!
But when he thought about the fate of the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan, the anger in Nara Shikaku's heart was as if someone poured a basin of ice water on it, completely extinguishing it.
The ANBU has been conquered by him.
Although the entire ANBU is struggling, the ANBU members are at least special jounin, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
Coupled with the three pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, even if Jiraiya comes, he can only run away.
Nara Shikaku really couldn't muster the courage to resist.
'That's all, I already labeled the other party yesterday, and it seems ridiculous to still be coy about it now.'
"Lord Hokage, I, the Nara clan, are willing to obey your arrangements."
Qianye's smile appeared again, and the depressing room suddenly became brighter.
"Then please ask Mr. Shikaku to make a list of no more than 5 people."
Konoha is only a town. If there are too many people in the administrative system, the system will become bloated.
Streamlining the military and administration is the most suitable path for Konoha at the moment.
"Currently, Konoha is in its original state, and everything is new. With Mr. Shikaku's talent, being an aide is too much."
Qianye is a stick in his left hand and a carrot in his right hand.
"I think people like Mr. Shikaku deserve to stand on a broader stage, show their talents, and become designers of Konoha and even the wider world."
Is Nara Shikaku's laziness really laziness?
It's because he is so smart and has seen through many things.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen respects him, he does not have decision-making power and can only make suggestions and suggestions.
Faced with this situation, what can a talented person like him with high IQ do if he doesn't choose to be lazy?
Now Qianye intends to make him a decision-maker and let him show his talents.
Even with Nara Shikaku's temperament, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Just a few strands, no more.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has drawn so many pieces that he can't stand it anymore.
Before it was truly implemented, he only believed in three points.
"I heard that the three families of Zhu, Lu and Die have always been on good terms. I would like to ask Mr. Lu Jiu to lobby for me."
"I will try my best."
"Then please leave it to Mr. Shikaku. I have to visit the Hyuga clan now. See you tomorrow." Qianye nodded slightly and left.
Qianye's first appearance left an indelible impression on Nara Shikamaru, one of Konoha's top twelve heroes.
Nara Shikaku looked at Qianye's back and recalled the conversation just now. It was hard to believe that this was actually a young man who had just grown up.
'It's amazing, it's amazing.'
...
Hyuga clan.
Hinata Hizu looked serious and said sternly:
"Hinata, be serious, be serious! Your sister is right here watching you. If you get distracted again, you will practice alone 100 times today and you can't eat until you finish!"
Hinata lowered her head in a hurry and responded loudly: "Yes, Father!"
Hinata continued to practice, but her mind wandered to the horizon: 'Naruto-kun, are you okay now?'
Due to yesterday's riot, the Ninja School has been temporarily suspended.
Hinata was very worried about Naruto's safety.
"Master, Uchiha Qianye is visiting outside the door."
Hinata Hiashi frowned: "Let me say it one last time, he is now the Hokage, and we should call him Hokage-sama."
The Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan are both wealthy clans for thousands of years.
But in the ninja world, the reputation of the Sharingan is slightly higher than that of their clan's Byakugan.
This made many ninjas of the Hyuga clan feel angry.
Their Byakugan are also very powerful blood successors! And there are more ninjas than the Uchiha clan!
But no matter how angry they were, after seeing Qianye, they could only shout respectfully: "Hokage-sama."
"Uchiha Qianya?" Hinata blinked. She heard her father mention this name yesterday.
'The new...Hokage? Maybe he knows about Naruto-kun.'
"Hinata, Hanabi, come with me to greet Lord Hokage."
