Naruto Puppet Master

The next day, in the early morning, under the sunny weather, under the tall Konoha city wall, the huge steel gate covered with sealing barriers slowly opened with loud creaking noises.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Sasuke, held a bald little boy in one hand and a black-horned spirit horse in the other, leading many ninjas out of the steel giants.

"Is it your hair soon? When you come back, wash it with the secret medicine and it will grow back soon!" The Third Hokage comforted in a low voice in the consciousness space: "Why do you, a child, care about this? Finish it well." Your mission is real.”

Hearing the words of the Third Hokage, Aburame Shizun, who was already depressed, said with an even worse expression: "I just slept, and you guys secretly shaved my head and washed it with potion, so that I can It won’t grow, so don’t you think it’s too much?”

"I didn't say I couldn't go, but why did I have to become bald?" Aburame Shison, who had felt a chill in his head since waking up in the morning, still had trouble accepting the fact that he was suddenly going to become a monk.

"Didn't the priest say that he wanted to disguise himself temporarily?"

"After all, your identity outside today is that of the genius that the empire has finally found among the three major ninja villages. A demon hunter with inherited mysterious power. You are about to go to various parts of the continent to eliminate demons and promote good. At the same time, you will rely on your own strange power to survive in every ninja village. The great man who built the teleportation array in the village base!"

You can't still look like a ninja!Apart from samurai, there are only onmyojis and monks who don't dress up like ninjas, and the most suitable one is onmyoji. It's just that pretending to be onmyoji is too troublesome and it's not something you can do, so you have to inherit the mysterious power. For pretending to be a monk. "

"Is this how you can show that you are different?"

Speaking of this, the Third Hokage paused and continued to say with a hint of apology: "After all, as a monk, as long as you can say the two common phrases "Oh Mitao Buddha" and "Almsgiver", it will be enough. "

"When you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, you can just laugh and say nothing. It is simply the most suitable person to pretend to be."

"Just because of that little bit of difference, I was sold by you." After hearing the explanation given by the Third Hokage, Aburame Shison felt a sense of depression suppressed in his heart and could not vent it. .

"Okay, don't be depressed, and don't be reluctant to leave. Let's get on the road!" In front of everyone behind him, the Third Hokage described Aburame Shison's reluctant mourning appearance as a sign of reluctance to leave home.

"I couldn't bear to let go of it for several years!" Aburame Shizun said in a mournful voice.

"A bald head is really ugly!" Aburame Shizun thought in his mind.

Looking at Aburame Shison pulling him, the Third Hokage didn't know whether he was reluctant to part with his hair or reluctant to leave Konoha.

But under the eyes of everyone, the Third Hokage could only pretend to understand and said: "Go! Go! If you go early, you can come back early."

Looking at the indescribable look in the Third Hokage's eyes, Aburame Shizun didn't know whether to look away or endure it. He stepped forward to take the tamed black-horned spirit horse, and after turning over neatly, a trace of tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes. Shuidi said solemnly: "I will definitely come back."

"Of course I believe you will come back." The Third Hokage replied immediately.

At the same time, the Third Hokage slowly handed over a large backpack again and said: "This is the supplies prepared for you on the road."

"I'll be back as soon as possible." After saying it again, Aburame Shison took the backpack handed over by the Third Hokage, whipped his horsewhip and flew towards the only avenue in the forest without looking back.

"Da da da da da..."

Watching Aburame Shizono galloping away, the Third Hokage watched for a long time before saying to Shimura Danzo and others beside him: "After today, the auxiliary support for the Aburame clan will be doubled."

"I will get it done." As the Third Hokage's most capable assistant, Danzo Shimura immediately said, "I believe no one will object this time."

"Well, it's only for a few years anyway, and it's only a small amount of benefit. I believe everyone will accept it." The Third Hokage said without concealment.

"Aburame Shisun is working for the empire, and we are naturally willing to take care of the hero's family." A group of Konoha clan leaders who came to see him off promised.

"That's the best." The Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, this is not the first time that the Third Hokage and other high-level officials of Konoha have tried to gain benefits for some declining genius families.

Among them, small clans with extraordinary talents that are about to rise, such as the Aburame clan and the Kurama clan, are the ones who the Third Hokage and others most want to distribute benefits to.

The purpose is to better bind those geniuses who have the potential to become strong in this great era to the conquered warship of Konoha.

After all, things are different now.The Red Sand Empire rules the entire continent and the world, and the temple leads the will and thought of the people. The cultivators of the new era do not yearn for the center of the world, the center of the empire and the temple. Only the mediocre can only stay in the Ninja Village base. in without the ability to leave.

For this reason, the Third Hokage and others who have great foresight naturally do not want the genius they have worked hard to cultivate to run away without looking back. Therefore, although it is impossible to force the other party to stay as before, they can at least stay. There is a friendship.

Even the Third Hokage, who had already accepted his fate, felt that it was necessary to do this kind of thing.

It's just that some things can't be done just by thinking about it. As one of the three major ninja village bases in the mainland, Konoha Village is only vaguely controlled by the Red Sand Empire without actual monitoring, but the benefits are early. It has been almost divided up by various groups.

Coupled with the changes in the world environment after the demonic disaster.In fact, over the years, apart from secret arts resources, other cultivation resources have been resting on their laurels. If it weren't for the far-traveling caravans that bring a lot of brand-new technologies and alternative resources newly researched by the empire every year, I am afraid that all the ninja families They will all fall into a situation with no cultivation resources.

Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for them to use their own insufficient resources to give to others, even with the prestige of the Third Hokage.

Not to mention that although the former Aburame Shizun was valued by the empire and the temple, everyone also knew that it was only because the temple and the Red Sand Empire believed that he had the potential to become a strong man. In the final analysis, he was just the one with greater potential. Just a genius.

But there is a saying that goes well, those who grow up are the strong ones, and geniuses will also die young.Therefore, even if Aburame Shisun's performance before this was somewhat extraordinary, whether it was Aburame Shisun himself or the Aburame clan, they only received some hidden benefits in Konoha, but there were no actual benefits.

People will be willing to give up voluntarily.

But it's different now.For the families in Konoha, supporting Aburame Shizon now is not about completely giving up part of their own resources to support the genius families that the Third Hokage and others wanted to support, as the Third Hokage said at the time, but to support those sent by the empire. A family belonging to Aburame Shison who went on a mission.

The former pays for Konoha at the expense of their own interests, and the resources consumed are huge even if shared by all clans, and the time is almost unlimited.

But the latter is responding to the empire's actions and making a small contribution to the future of mankind. The only people to take care of are the Aburame clan. If they are exhausted, they will only have the training resources of a dozen people at most, and the time will only be a few years. That’s all.

The same choice, two meanings, represent completely different efforts.

Seeing the ninja clan leaders behind him who readily agreed, the Third Hokage also understood their little thoughts.

Regarding this, the Third Hokage could only sigh in his heart but there was no way to change it.

"I remember that in addition to Aburame Shison, their generation has a child who is also six years old!" the Third Hokage said, changing the subject.

"Yes, my name is Shino Aburame. According to the ANBU, he is already preparing to forge the materials for his own insect swarm." Kakashi Hatake, who has been in charge of the ANBU's power, stepped forward and said.

"Oh, really? Then focus on observation! If the talent is good, focus on supporting him, and try to cultivate a strong and talented person for the Aburame clan who can stand alone during the time when Aburame Shisun is gone." The third generation Naruto said.

After saying that, looking at the black spots that had disappeared from sight, the Third Hokage turned and walked back.

"Okay." Danzo Shimura nodded and followed the Third Hokage.

…………

At the same time, at the gate of the city, the Third Hokage and others saw off Aburame Shisun and made other families give up part of their interests to the Aburame clan.

Above them, on the huge wall that was five to sixty meters high outside the base of Konoha Ninja Village, Scorpion and a half-orc monster with a crow's head were also looking at Aburame Shison who was galloping away on horseback.

"What do you think of him!" Just as Monkey was carefully observing Aburame Shizun's appearance, Xie suddenly said.

The traveler didn't know why Xie suddenly asked this question, but this did not prevent him from making a preliminary judgment based on his own observations: "I have not had contact with him before, and I don't know him well. But looking at him The way he looked just now was that of a child."

"Ah."

"Does the child have a good character?" Xie said calmly.

"You are right, but he is not just a child as you think!"

"He is a person who has no good or evil in his heart, and acts according to his own inner feelings. To put it nicely, it is called an innocent heart, pure and flawless. To put it worst, it is a self-conscious state of mind that has no taboos and allows me to run amok."

"Is it that serious?" The traveler said in confusion: "I haven't heard of him causing any trouble before Konoha!"

"He is not an ordinary child. He was fine before. That was only because the seal in his body was only recently lifted. As time goes by, he is recovering his true nature."

"Under the young appearance, there is an inner heart that no one knows. In his eyes, rules such as good and evil, right and evil are empty, and all actions will only be made based on his inner emotions."

Having said this, Xie suddenly asked: "Do you know why I temporarily selected you as the candidate for the walker?"

"Does this subordinate really have this doubt?" The traveler immediately replied: "After all, my subordinate's reputation before this has not even spread to Konoha. How can I let the high priest entrust me with such an important task?"

"That's right, you were unknown before, and I didn't even know you as a person. Therefore, before I knew your situation, I had already chosen the candidate for the traveler."

"It's just that after seeing your detailed information, I gave up the original candidate and chose you."

"Aside from your ability, wisdom and experience, which are more suitable for practitioners, what I value most is your inner will." Xie affirmed lightly.

"My inner will." The traveler said doubtfully.

"Yes, in my opinion you are a man who knows how to love."

"Although you seem a bit narrow-minded when making choices because you have little experience, there is no doubt that you are indeed a person who understands big love and small love when it comes to your family, and you also have enough courage to bear it."

"Aburame Shisun's mind is unstable. He moves according to his emotions like a naughty child who will never be obeyed. I sealed away his power just to give you the opportunity to influence him."

"There are many difficulties along the way. As the key to the team and the only one without fighting ability, Aburame Shisun will definitely suffer a lot. I hope you can guide him in this process to understand what love is and what is love." Restraint." Xie said seriously.

"If I can help him, I'm very willing."

"Is it just my illusion? Why do I think he is very important, very important? Do you pay too much attention to him?" Crow Walker said in an uncertain tone.

"Sensitive feeling." Xie praised first and then said vaguely: "He is indeed very important, but I can't tell you too much yet. This is a secret that only saints are qualified to know. You are involved now I just told you a little bit, but now you just need to know that you must put the task of guiding Aburame Shizon's heart first, and you are not suitable to know the rest."

"Number one." Crow Walker asked with narrowed pupils:

"It's the first one." Xie nodded lightly and said.

"I understand." Seeing the expressionless Scorpion at this moment, Crow Walker said with a trembling voice.A secret that only a saint can know made Crow Walker understand that he had unknowingly entangled himself in a vortex huge enough to tear himself apart, and that the only way to survive in this vortex was to become a saint. Apart from participation, the only way to reach the finish line is to move forward courageously.

"Now that you understand, then go ahead!" Xie nodded and said, "I have already arranged people at the border. You can just go over and replace the crow demon imprisoned there, and then follow the demon hunting team. ."

"Yes, sir." After responding, the Crow Walker immediately transformed from an orc into a huge black crow and flew towards the distance.
