In the Hokage's mansion, Morino Ihiki brought the dying Naruto to Kakashi and told him the little tricks the two consultants had done in private.

Ibiki said: "Lord Hokage, within the scope of my authority, this is within my ability. I will leave you to deal with the two consultants."

"Ah, Ibiki, thank you for your hard work." Kakashi thanked him, thinking: Otherwise, if Naruto has an accident, I really don't know how to explain it to the teacher.

Before leaving, Ibiki said: "Lord Hokage, this is also my suggestion. Don't let Uzumaki Naruto stay in the village. There is no soil for him to grow here. It's still too late. If it's too late, he might really will fall into darkness, and what the two consultants are worried about will become a reality."

The moonlight is cold.

Kakashi sat on the steps, looking at the bruised Naruto in front of him, and fell into a daze.

In just one year, so many things have changed.

The hero of the Ninja War has become the object of everyone's contempt. The son of the hero, who was originally bathed in the sun and carefree, has been struggling alone in the darkness, but still has not given up the dream of Hokage in his heart.

His hands were stained with blood, he was used to being lazy, and he was often late, but he sat on the throne of Hokage.

"Compared to the great achievements of the teacher and the ancestors, what I have done is really insignificant. Why should the teacher be pushed into the abyss of eternal destruction just because of his human fault? What happened to this village?"

An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness lingered in Kakashi's heart.

He didn't even know if he was careless one day, would he also end up in ruins?

The people of Konoha place too much expectations and pressure on the heroes.

Perhaps the achievements of the ancestors were so outstanding that the heroic path of future generations has become a trestle on the horizon, with the entrance to heaven above their heads and an abyss beneath their feet.

This road is full of stars and attracts much attention. It seems that the heroes have infinite scenery, but they need to proceed carefully. Only when they reach the entrance of the kingdom of heaven will their merits be considered complete. If they slip and fall into the abyss, they will be doomed.

"Look at what the Third Hokage did. Why didn't you sacrifice for Konoha? Why didn't you die in battle?"

See, Hiruzen and Minato are a living contrast.

Once you are a hero, you must be a hero all your life. If you cannot be a hero someday, your life will be worse than a bear. Every time there is a disaster or catastrophe, people who are accustomed to and rely on heroes to save them gradually become distorted. view of heroes, but

Heroes should not be compared in the first place.

Heroes are not for ordinary people to judge.

When Kakashi was feeling sad, a person walked out of the shadow behind the house.

"Shikaku"

"Ah, I heard what happened tonight, and I was a little worried about you, so I came over to take a look. It turned out like this." Shikaku sat down on the steps next to Kakashi.

"I feel like I can't stand this Hokage anymore."

"Ah, I understand your situation. On the one hand, you have the people who must keep a bowl of water straight. On the other hand, you have your former mentors and disciples, as well as your advisors who insist on your own way, and the Jonin who have different opinions."

"And you don't have the strength to calm down troubled times and conquer the masses like the first Hokage. The contribution you made in the battle of Kannabi Bridge, but also because Minato led the team, has become a stain on you. The only thing you can do is to The achievements you made during the Anbu era, as well as your responsibility to stand up and stand in front of everyone when Konoha was in disaster, but these experiences have gradually failed to keep up with the current era."

"You were ordered to live in a special period in Konoha. The third generation was martyred, the fourth generation fell, Jiraiya and Tsunade were injured, and you had no choice but to be pushed to the stage and shoulder the heavy burden."

"After the reconstruction of Konoha, people's lives have returned to stability, and your experience as the fourth generation Hokage's proud disciple has been mentioned again. What's more, some people are secretly comparing you to Shadow Uchiha Haha. Being able to be saved is actually all thanks to the shadow. You, the Fifth Hokage, are nothing special at all."

Kakashi said: "Ah, I am Minato's disciple, but I am still proud of it. Compared with Shadow, what I have done is indeed insignificant, but I just want to do my best to change this village. This is me and my father." Promise in Farewell"

Nara Shikaku said: "There is no doubt what you think, but under the current situation, the authority of the shadow is too small. If the power can be highly centralized like the Hidden Ninja Kingdom, some problems can be easily solved."

"By highly centralizing power, you want us to imitate the Ninja Kingdom," Kakashi was surprised.

Shikaku turned to Ryūjing: "You don't necessarily have to follow suit. Shadow is a very foresighted person, as if he has seen through the essence of the world. Sometimes I even wonder if he has a God's perspective, so that he can plan ahead and take drastic measures. to make changes”

"Kakashi, there are some things I only dare to say in front of you. The famous names of various countries enjoy the convenience of ninjas while guarding against the force of ninjas. According to my budget, in the next few decades, one country and one village will The system will collapse."

"The emergence of the Hidden Ninja Kingdom is bound to greatly accelerate this process because the Ninja Kingdom has refreshed the elite's understanding of the ambitions and abilities of ninjas. In order to prevent usurpation from happening around them, the daimyo are bound to take action, or weaken the ninja's power. The forces are either as extreme as the Kingdom of Thunder and will simply raze their own ninja village to the ground."

"It won't be long before Konoha Village is bound to face a catastrophe, not because of the intimidation of other ninja villages by their combat power, but because of the existential crisis of being uprooted and being outrooted by the world."

"It's not too late to make up for the situation before it's too late. The only way to save ourselves is to unite the entire village and join the Hidden Ninja Kingdom."

Hearing what Shikaku said, Kakashi was greatly shocked: "Shikaku, as expected of you, I don't even dare to think about that kind of thing."

"I don't blame you. I am your adviser. Of course I can come up with wild ideas. If I were in your position, I wouldn't have the courage. I have a wife and children, and I don't want to be so young. Being nailed to Konoha's pillar of shame. In short, even if you want to implement it, you can't rush this matter. Let's deal with the resistance within the village first."

Kakashi said: "These resistances make my scalp numb just thinking about them."

Shikaku put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder: "It doesn't matter, at least Ino Shikacho is definitely on your side, and Minato's Hokage is not in vain. There are still many Minato in Konoha. The supporters are just unable to express themselves due to the pressure of public opinion.”

"Hyuga, the most famous sect in Konoha, is a living example. If Minato hadn't made a decisive decision, Hizashi would have been gone forever, and his son Neji would have been a caged bird for the rest of his life. They will always remember this kindness in their hearts. When necessary, they will definitely stand up and support you as Minato's proud disciple."

"Thank you Shikaku. Without you, I really don't know how to go on." Kakashi cheered up and looked at Naruto in front of him: "For the future of Konoha, I must keep the fire of the new generation, even if In a somewhat painful way.”

Lin Yu watched this scene in the dark and murmured: "Nara Shikaku, you are worthy of being Konoha's first military advisor. Kakashi, I can't help but use other gods to poach him away from you." , but because we may work together in the future, just keep him by your side, that way, he can also be used by me."
