I just want to be lazy, I was forced to become Hokage

Time passes quietly like running water.

Uchiha Shisui's daily activities are near Konoha Hospital, and he is responsible for secretly monitoring Uchiha Obito's living conditions.

In the prison of the underground research institute, Han painstakingly studied the secret technique of [Ghost Sealing], intending to master it as soon as possible.

Ye Cang exercised hard day after day, sweating like rain, and his brain and body were constantly being impacted and filled with new knowledge.

Nara Langui eats chicken in the Platycodon orphanage during the day and takes medicine at night. She is very happy.

Everyone has a bright future.

This day, the land of iron.

The five-shadow meeting, which lasted for nearly half a month, finally came to an end.

The shadows of the five villages took their respective entourages and returned to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.

The plans and strategies discussed at the Five Shadows Conference were also brought back by the shadows of each village.

Konoha.

The travel-worn Sarutobi Hiruzen and his party successfully returned to the village after a long journey.

After taking a short rest, Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered Nara Shikaku to summon the leader of the Nara clan from the gentle village to the Hokage Building.

After many days.

Nara Langui once again stepped into the door of the Hokage's office.

Looking at the other person's calm and leisurely expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who still had traces of weather on his face, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He worked hard in the Kingdom of Iron to fight for the interests of Konoha, and it was often difficult to sleep until early in the morning.

But this kid was nice, laid back and at ease, and didn't seem to be worried at all about what happened to Orochimaru and Danzo before.

how to say?

Is he really worthy of being a Nara ninja?

Seeing Nara Langui's arrival, Nara Shikaku, who was standing beside Sarutobi Hiruzen, immediately nodded to him.

Nara Langui returned a look to his family, and then looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Sandaime-sama, thank you for your hard work."

The corners of Nara Shikaku's mouth twitched slightly.

Patriarch, why do your words sound so strange?

Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously stroked his goatee, feeling a little strange in his heart.

But considering the many matters discussed at the Five Kage Conference, Sarutobi Hiruzen still suppressed this strange emotion in his heart.

"Lan Gui, I came to you because there are some things that I need to discuss with you personally."

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained unhurriedly.

The things he mentioned were nothing more than those few.

Ebizo of Sunagakure Village.

The Seven Ninja Sword of Kirigakure Village.

There are also Yatsuo and Kirabi from Hidden Cloud Village.

As for the other things, such as the "Five-Tails of Iwagakure" and the "Steam Ninja", Sarutobi Hiruzen knew Nara's attitude towards taking the crown and was unwilling to annoy the other party on this issue.

Things like "forming a joint sensing force to hunt down Yuno Kuni" and "building a multinational joint prison in Kusano Kuni" are not what Nara Langui needs to know now.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even mention it.

"Ebizo of Sunagakure Village, let the Third Generation deal with this person personally."

Nara Langui's eyes fluctuated slightly for a moment, remembering the [Flame Ball Fan] he recently got back from Uchiha Shisui.

"But there is one thing. Ebizo's exclusive ninja tool, the ninja fan that can increase the power of wind escape, I gave it to someone else."

Ebizo also has a ninja fan?

Oh, yes, that old man seems to have a big fan...

Why didn't I hear this information when I captured Ebizo before?

The corners of Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth trembled, and he guessed the reason.

Probably that fan fell into Nara Langui's hands early... But I haven't seen him use Wind Release!

strangeness!

"Sunagakure is willing to pay a certain price to redeem Ebizo from us."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly, pretending not to hear the fan ninja tool Nara Langui mentioned.

"However, the resources of Sunagakure Village are not very rich after all. It is said that the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind intends to reduce the military expenditure of Sunagakure Village...

"It will take them a while to raise the funds."

Of course, Sunagakure hopes that Konoha can release Ebizo immediately.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen was no fool.

Not to mention that Sunagakure Village did not take advantage at all on the battlefield, nor was it in an advantageous position.

Do you want Konoha to let people go without any reason?

Stop daydreaming!

In this regard, Nara Langui expressed his understanding.

He learned a lot about the Five Kage Conference from Nara Shikaku.

During the Third Ninja War, every village suffered losses.

Because of Nara's victory, Konoha has gained certain advantages in all frontal battlefields.

Logically speaking, Konoha could use this opportunity of the Five Kage Talks to extort money from the other four villages.

In other words, let the other four villages pay war compensation to Konoha!

However, several other villages were vaguely united on this issue and denied Konoha's request for compensation.

After the Five Shadows talks ended, several villages only signed an armistice agreement.

But Konoha did not get a bargain in war compensation, but gained advantages in other aspects.

There is no way, who can let Konoha have enough "cards" to play?

"Ebizo", "Seven Ninja Sword", "Eight Tails"...etc., these are all cards in Konoha's hand.

If other villages want to get these things, they must pay a price to Konoha.

As for using war to seize treasures from Konoha...

All three battles have been fought.

Each village still has sufficient awareness of its own comprehensive level.

Hit Konoha?

Beat the ass!

Then the only way to trade those "cards" from Konoha is through political consultation.

This is why Sunagakure redeems Ebizo.

Hand over money with one hand, hand over to people with the other.

'I don't know how long it will take Sunagakure to raise all the funds. This village is too poor...'

'I hope the time can be longer, Ye Cang is still making progress recently...'

Just as Nara was thinking about it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again.

"The village here intends to exchange it for the [Thunder Knife Fang] from you."

The seven ninja swords of Kirigakure Village have very distinctive abilities and characteristics.

The famous Seven Ninja Swordsmen also relied on their own Ninja Swords to achieve their fame.

But it has to be admitted.

There are high and low levels among Ninja swordsmen.

Nara Langui deducted [Big Sword Shark], [Double Sword Shark] and [Long Sword Stitch].

The remaining four knives.

[Decapitating Broadsword] has no other special abilities except that it is harder and can repair itself.

[Dull Knife Pocket Cut], Sarutobi Hiruzen even doubted whether this knife was used by the Kirigakure Village to make up the numbers...

[Explosive Knife Spray], its ability and characteristics are distinctive enough.

But Konoha happens to have an advanced psychic technique called [Mutual Multiplication Detonation Talisman] in its hands.

[Explosive Sword Spray] also has very limited appeal to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

There is only one [Thunder Blade·Fang] left, which is of some use and can enhance the strength of the Thunderbolt Ninja.

After some consideration, Sarutobi Hiruzen planned to trade [Thunder Sword·Fang] from Nara Langui.

As for the remaining three ninja swords, they will be sold back to Kirigakure Village.

Nara Langui was not surprised by Sarutobi Hiruzen's request. He looked at Nara Shikaku aside.

"Brother Shikaku, you should know the locations of the four ninja swords. This matter will trouble you."

Nara Shikaku nodded in agreement.

At the end of the topic, Hiruzen Sarutobi twirled his beard.

"Ran Gui, that Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki of Kumogakure Village, can you really extract the Eight-Tails from his body without harming the other person's life?"

"You can give it a try."

Nara Langui said calmly.

"What do you think about Yunyin Village?"

"Kumogakure...their decision is a bit strange."

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that Nara held Gui without elaborating, so he gave up the pursuit.

"Kumogakure plans to redeem Kirabi from us first, not the Eight-Tails."
