Hokage: Nawaki Is Cold, Can You Revive It?

"I have some connections here. You can leave Konoha temporarily and serve as the bodyguard of the Fire Country Daimyo." Chiba suggested.

"The Daimyo's bodyguard?" Hatake Sakumo was startled when he heard this.

"Yes." Chiba nodded and said, "I also heard by chance that the daimyo wanted to recruit some powerful people to serve as bodyguards. You are an extremely suitable candidate."

Today's "Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors" have not yet been formed, and the great names of the Fire Country are eager for talent, and these big names only have the following requirements for their direct guards: reputation, strength, and character.

In terms of reputation, Sakumo is now above the Sannin. In terms of strength, Sakumo beats those in the Daming Palace with one hand. In terms of character, Sakumo is willing to give up his mission to protect his companions.

Coupled with Chiba's thin face, as long as Sakumo is willing, he can definitely become the direct guard of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and be appreciated and reused by the Daimyo.

Although Chiba is a bit difficult to understand, in the original plot, the Daimyo can eliminate the existence of Konoha with just one sentence.

"If you become the direct guard of the Daimyo, no one in Konoha will dare to target you anymore, let alone threaten you with Kakashi. They will rush to build a good relationship with you before it is too late."

Chiba's words are not nonsense. No matter how awesome the feudal officials are, they would not dare to easily offend the eunuchs around the emperor. Bah, guards!

Especially Shimura, who wants to be a Hokage. If he is disgusted by the daimyo, he will never be able to sit in the Hokage's seat.

"This is indeed a viable option...you've grown up, Chiba."

Looking at the young man talking in front of him, Hatake Sakumo was filled with emotion. The child who once needed his protection could now guide him.

"Sakumo-sama, it's not too late."

Chiba smiled and said: "I suggest you leave Konoha now to implement this matter, and then spread the word that you become a Daimyo guard."

"I know, Chiba."

Sakumo nodded slightly and said with an moved expression: "Thanks to you this time. Without you, I would have been...!"

Chiba waved his hand and said: "There is no need to thank me, Sakumo-sama, I just repaid the favor I owed you."

Sakumo didn't expect that Chiba would actually remember his joke at that time, and couldn't help laughing and said: "I traveled thousands of miles to save you. It was really the second correct choice I have ever made in my life."

"Oh? Then what was the most correct choice you made?" Chiba asked curiously.

"Haha, of course I married Kakashi's mother." Sakumo laughed.

Chiba: "..."

There is no need for him to ask this question.

After the joke, Sakumo said seriously: "Chiba, I'll leave in a moment. After I leave, I hope you can take care of Kakashi for me."

"Don't worry, Sakumo-sama, I will do it." Chiba nodded and agreed.

After Sakumo became the direct bodyguard of the daimyo, he also had someone he could talk to on the daimyo's side, and he was one step closer to his small goal of taking over Konoha.

After the two of them finished talking, they walked out of the house.

Before Chiba could react, Kakashi fell down in front of him: "Thank you for saving my father. I offended you so much just now. I hope you can forgive me."

Kakashi can't imagine the future after losing Sakumo. If he is left alone in this cold world, he will probably turn into an emotionless walking zombie step by step!

And now, my father is still alive, which is great!

Therefore, his gratitude to Chiba almost overflowed from his body, just like Hagura.

"There's no need to thank me. Sakumo-sama is going on a long trip soon. You two, father and son, should have a good chat."

Chiba smiled and pulled Kakashi up, rubbing his little head, feeling full of accomplishment.

In the future, Kakashi will no longer have to suffer the tragic fate in the original plot. After his father dies, his companions will die, and after his companions die, his teacher will die... Kishimoto, you have no heart!

...

"Chiba, if I die one day, can you also save me?"

After leaving Sakumo's house, Nawaki had to send Chiba back to the laboratory, chattering around Chiba all the way.

"Yes, even if I can't save you, I will reincarnate you into the Impure World and let you bother me every day!"

Chiba rolled his eyes angrily.

He didn't bother to talk to Nawaki, and happily clicked on the system reward that he didn't have time to look at just now.

[The treatment is successful, congratulations to the Host for obtaining "strengthened physique, enhanced perception, and enhanced reflexes"! 】

"Wuhu, it is indeed a reward for bringing the dead back to life, it is awesome!"

Chiba is very satisfied with this reward.

The multiple enhancements of this trinity are estimated to directly raise his overall combat power to a higher level.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique requires extremely high levels of perception and reaction. Now with this wave of enhancements, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort when practicing."

"There is also this physical enhancement, I don't know how much it has been strengthened... give it a try!"

Anyway, he was far away from Konoha and no one was around. Chiba couldn't hold back his excitement and planned to give it a try directly.

"Eight Inner Gates·Injury Gate, open!"

Swish!

Chiba suddenly opened the Eight Inner Gates, which startled Nawaki. He quickly distanced himself from Chiba and said with an alert look on his face.

"Chiba, do you think you want to beat me up because I talk too much? Don't follow my sister's example."

"Fifth Dumen, open!"

"Sixth Jingmen, open!"

Chiba ignored Nawaki, the Chakra in his body was running at full strength, and he opened the two doors with a roar like a rushing river.

"The Seventh Shocking Door...!"

Chiba was just about to attack the Seventh Gate, but there was a faint tearing sensation in the meridians, so Chiba stopped in time.

"Now I can open the Sixth Gate smoothly. If I want, I can forcefully open the Seventh Gate. The strengthening effect this time is quite powerful!"

Chiba closed the Eight Inner Gates, feeling a little excited.

How long has passed since he started practicing the Eight Inner Gates? He has already touched the threshold of the Seventh Gate. The Eighth Gate "Ye Guy" is just around the corner!

"Fuck, why?!"

Seeing Chiba withdraw from Eight Inner Gates, Nawaki dared to come over and complained with an annoyed look on his face.

"How come you have become stronger again just by saving someone? Chiba, don't you get some benefits from each person you save?"

Chiba was startled subconsciously, thinking that Nawaki had discovered his secret.

But then he thought, Nawaki? You can pull it down!

Arriving at the laboratory, Chiba said with a solemn face: "Nawaki, please help me pay attention to Shimura Danzō's recent movements. I ruined his plan this time. I'm worried that he will target me."

"Shimura Danzō? Are you saying that Shimura Danzō was behind this incident with Sakumo-sama?!" Nawaki said with a shocked look on his face.

"I don't know about others, but Shimura Danzō definitely has something to do with this matter." Chiba said with great certainty.

It’s so funny, in the Hokage world, whenever someone does something bad but the mastermind behind it can’t be found, the blame can just be thrown on Danzo, that’s right!

...

Half a month later, the news that Hatake Sakumo became the direct bodyguard of the daimyo spread back to Konoha.

The rumors against Sakumo in the village disappeared in an instant, as if they had never appeared. When the villagers mentioned the White Fang master, they all looked proud.

Konoha roots.

Boom!

After Shimura Danzō received the news from his subordinates, he was so angry that he smashed the table in front of him into powder with his palm.

The root ninja in front of him trembled in fright and said in a trembling voice: "According to reliable information, the reason why Hatake Sakumo suddenly changed his attitude and defected to the daimyo was because Chiba was behind it."

"Chiba, it's this Chiba again!"

Shimura Danzō gritted his teeth and said: "I haven't settled the previous debt with him, but he dared to jump out and go against me!"

Shimura Danzō paced back and forth in the hall with a gloomy expression.

After a while, he stopped and looked at his men with evil eyes: "No, we must get rid of this Chiba immediately!"

Chiba's growth rate was really too fast, both in terms of strength and influence. Before he knew it, this boy had grown to a level that frightened him.

With the support of Sannin, he has won the protection of many wealthy families with his medical skills, and now there is another Sakumo who is beside the Daimyo of the Fire Country...

Only then did Danzo suddenly realize that Chiba was not just beyond his control, the other party seemed to have the capital to compete with him head-on!

"Sir Danzo, but the Hokage attaches great importance to this Chiba." The root ninja was shocked when he heard this: "If we attack him rashly, I'm afraid..."

"Idiot, why does Hiruzen fancy him? Don't you want him to take my place?"

Shimura Danzō kicked his men to the ground and cursed angrily: "If I fall, none of you will survive!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's intention to support Chiba is so obvious that Danzo can see the other person's intention at a glance.

Hiruzen felt that his "knife" had too much blood on it, that this tool had its own ideas, and wanted to replace it with a new one that was more comfortable.

Danzo aimed at Hatake Sakumo this time with the idea of ​​weakening Chiba, but he never expected that after Chiba's operations, Chiba's power would not decrease but increase!

"At this point, it is no longer a battle for power, but a battle of life and death. Do you understand?"

Shimura Danzō seemed to be talking to his subordinates, or to himself.

Once he loses the power in his hands, based on the dark things he has done in the past, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen, Chiba and others do not target him, his fate can be imagined.

"I understand, Lord Danzo." The root ninja responded solemnly.

Think about it, if Danzo falls, they and the others won't be able to survive, so they might as well go crazy and fight for a chance of survival.

As long as Chiba is removed, Sarutobi Hiruzen will have no one available, so naturally he can only continue to use Danzo-sama.

Shimura Danzō waved his hand and said: "As long as you understand, go ahead and send someone to control the people close to Chiba and wait for my order."

"Uh." The root ninja thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Are you talking about Sannin and the others, Chiba's colleagues in Anbu, or...?"

"Idiot! How could I have such stupid subordinates as you?"

Shimura Danzō was so angry that he kicked his men to the ground again: "Isn't there a commoner girl named Nohara Lin? Go and arrest her. Do you need me to teach you such a simple thing personally?!"

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"
