Naruto: Fox and Cat

Chapter 230: Konoha Post-War Meeting (1)

After the war, the Five Kages held a brief meeting and decided to clean up the battlefield first, and then schedule a formal meeting to conduct a complete reckoning of the Fourth Ninja War.The first is to collect the bodies of ninjas from various battlefields in a unified manner, and then each country will arrange follow-up work after claiming them.The second is to clean up the traps and ninja tools left on the battlefield to avoid harming ordinary people in the future.The third is to arrange the transportation of the injured and other tasks.

The Five Shadows also immediately went to search for Uchiha Madara's body, but no trace was found. The Five Shadows immediately made this matter a top priority and asked the ninjas to pay attention to looking for Uchiha Madara's body when cleaning the battlefield. corpse.

Each Ninja Village also found a place to stay and set up a few tents as temporary bases to discuss the cleanup work of each village and the next plan.In particular, he began to consider the development plans of various ninja villages after this war.

No one is naive enough to believe that this cooperation will last forever. The old foxes in each village are calculating the losses of their own village and the losses of other villages, striving not to let this war separate themselves from other villages. Tolerate the gap between villages.

Moreover, Konoha had just been attacked by Pain not long ago, and the village had not been rebuilt much, but Danzo left a lot of mess behind.In order to prepare for this war, the reconstruction of the village has also been postponed. Now after they return to Konoha, they can still see the huge crater tens of meters deep and hundreds of meters wide left by Pain after using Shinra Tensei.

To make matters worse, the war headquarters was previously hit by the Ten-Tailed Tailed Beast Jade.As the head of Konoha's strategy, Nara Shikaku and a large number of intelligence ninjas died in the line of duty (such as Ino's father Yamanaka Haiichi). This was another heavy blow to Konoha.

The bad news came too quickly. After the war, Konoha's management would definitely need to undergo a major change.I only hope that the young people of this generation can shoulder this important task and overcome this difficulty with their dreams.

After arranging the post-war cleanup work with Tsunade, Shikamaru locked himself in the tent alone and began to use all his brain cells to think about how to get the greatest benefit for Konoha.Fortunately, the tailed beasts, Sharingan, Uchiha Madara's body, etc. are now with Naruto, Sasuke and Itachi, and there may not be many ninjas who dare to pay attention directly to them.

After about two days of searching, Shikamaru had a rough plan. After spying with Kakashi and Tsunade for more than an hour, he decided to convene a small meeting with several key figures to determine the next policy.

After the battlefield is almost cleared, the Kages of each village will formally hold a meeting to settle the war. Konoha will not be able to give in at that time.To nip it in the bud, they still have to prepare all countermeasures in advance.

However, the key point of all this lies in Naruto.He is too kind and does not understand the political and diplomatic methods of running a shinobi village. If the bodies of tailed beasts or Uchiha Madara are really divided equally, then in a few hundred or decades, Konoha will be in trouble.

Sasuke and Itachi are not too worried, not to mention that the identities of the two brothers are relatively sensitive now, not to mention that they are not naive enough to give up their power to the Ninja Village who will definitely become competitors or even enemies in the future. On hand.

After noon, there was a wide open space around the tent where important matters were discussed, and the busy ninjas tacitly agreed not to go near it.

There were not many people in the tent, only Tsunade, Kakashi, Shikamaru and Sakura. There were some maps and papers on the long wooden table, and apart from that there was only a blackboard with a lot of things written on it.

"Naruto, Sasuke and Itachi-kun should be arriving soon, and we need to ask their opinions next. In the subsequent post-war meeting, other ninja villages may ask some tricky questions, especially those involving the Uchiha brothers and How to deal with the tailed beast." Shikamaru, who had never rested, looked very bad. He couldn't even deal with his father's funeral while he was busy, so he could only ask Choji and Ino for help.

"This Fourth Ninja War has fully proved the terror of the Sharingan. The two of them alone have the power to destroy the world. Sasuke and Itachi are the only two pairs of Sharingan left in the world. They will definitely be wary, and maybe they will take the opportunity to get rid of Sasuke and Itachi because of their rebellious status." Kakashi also frowned and said in a deep voice, "Now it is clear that Sasuke and Itachi are on the same side. Those on Konoha's side must protect them. Their Sharingan is now one of Konoha's trump cards."

"Except for Kumogakure's eight tails, all the other tailed beasts are now with Naruto." Tsunade leaned her elbows on the table and crossed her fingers. "Other ninja villages will definitely ask for the return of the tailed beasts, especially It’s that old man Tsuchikage.”

"The war has just ended, and we were all partners fighting side by side not long ago. You shouldn't ask for so many points, right?" Sakura hesitated, unable to immediately jump from partners fighting side by side to being wary of each other and competing with each other. On the relationship between Ninja Village.

"It is a fact that we fight together to protect the world, but we all belong to different ninja villages after all. As a shadow who protects the village, it is natural to seek the best interests of your own village." Tsunade said in a deep voice, now Konoha With internal and external troubles, it was impossible for her to take any step back at this juncture.

At this time, they felt the chakra falling from the sky that could not be ignored, and at the same time there were many ninjas screaming.Soon, Naruto.Sasuke and Itachi lifted the curtain and walked in.Itachi originally didn't plan to ask about Konoha's affairs, but he had no choice but to come over due to Naruto's persuasion.

The blond boy without a forehead protector smiled cheerfully and greeted everyone in the tent. There was nothing wrong with his bright smile.

"We're finally here," Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the protagonist appear, and then asked with concern, "How is Xiaofeng's condition? Are you awake?"

"I haven't woken up yet, Feng probably wants to have a good rest~" Naruto's expression showed nothing unusual. After saying this, he pulled out a chair and sat down, "Are you going to say something important? I'll bring Sasuke Brother Weasel and I have both been brought here, so let them talk about things that require brainpower~"

"My brother and I are not your brains, you idiots." Sasuke frowned in displeasure and saw Itachi standing there before he sat down.

"What does it have to do with it? Didn't Grandpa Sage say that you and I are the reincarnations of two brothers? Then your brother is also mine..." Before Naruto could finish his words, he stabbed him in the neck. The long sword cut off several of his hair.

"Give you time to leave your last words." Sasuke's cold words came to him, and the Kusanagi sword he held did not waver at all.

"Didn't you call me Crane's tail first?" Naruto puffed up his face and desperately winked at Itachi for help, "Brother Itachi, please advise Sasuke, this guy keeps shouting about beating and killing, and he doesn't do anything at all. Speak calmly!"

Seeing Naruto who finally cheered up and the quarrel between the two of them like children, Itachi chuckled helplessly, reached for Sasuke's Kusanagi sword and put it in the scabbard, "Okay, don't make trouble now. In front of Hokage-sama."

"And Naruto has nothing to do with the word stability, so he has the nerve to talk about others." Tsunade looked at him with disgust, then raised her hand to signal Sasuke and Itachi to sit down, "Sit down, Sasuke, Itachi. Take it. I’m going to discuss your future plans with you when I come down.”

Hearing this, Itachi, who originally wanted to avoid it, could only sit down with Sasuke.

After Sakura looked at Sasuke for a while, she looked at Naruto and asked the question she had had since he entered the door, "Naruto, where did your forehead protector go?"

"At Feng's place, wait until she wakes up and then let her put it on me with her own hands~~" Naruto raised his head with a smile and plucked the bangs in front of his forehead. He was now used to not wearing a forehead protector, "Besides, Brother Itachi Neither did Sasuke."

Sasuke was speechless and didn't bother to remind him that he and Itachi had long been traitorous ninjas.And after what happened with Danzo, Itachi didn't even wear the scratched Konoha forehead protector.

Shikamaru felt something was wrong when he heard Naruto's words, and then looked at Sasuke.Noticing his gaze, Sasuke just shook his head slightly, indicating that there was nothing he could do about it.

"Since Naruto seems to be in good spirits, let's get down to business now." Tsunade knocked on the wooden table, signaling for everyone to quiet down, and then spoke in a deep voice, "There are three main things now: ANBU, tailed beasts, and What are your next plans?"

"Danzo has been in control of the ANBU for many years. Even if he is dismissed now, changing the current situation of the ANBU cannot be agreed upon overnight. This requires long-term planning. However, while the ANBU is in a mess now, if the ANBU is purged first, it will be better for the future. Reform also has benefits." Shikamaru paused, then looked at Sasuke and Itachi seriously, "Then Sasuke and Itachi-kun, I hope you can listen to the next words calmly."

"?" Sasuke glanced at him doubtfully. After seeing Shikamaru stiffen because of his eyes, he raised his hand and pulled his overly long bangs to cover the Rinnegan that was accidentally exposed.

"Naruto asked me to find a way before, so that the two of you can return to Konoha openly, but to be honest, I have never been able to think of a way to achieve both ends." Shikamaru calmed down and continued, "Sasuke wants to Reveal all the truth and let Itachi-kun break away from his status as a traitor and return to Konoha. And Itachi-kun intends to preserve the reputation of the Uchiha clan and hide the family's past plans in darkness. And this is opposite. If you gain something, you will lose it. Another. However, Danzo’s appearance was too coincidental.”

"You mean, you want to put all the blame for the Uchiha clan on Danzo?" Tsunade also guessed Shikamaru's plan, but she also agreed with this method.It was indeed a good idea to abandon an already guilty prisoner and save the only two Uchihas left in the world.

"Not many people know the truth now. The most important thing is that Danzo was one of the masterminds behind the scenes. He should bear most of the responsibility for this incident." Shikamaru said calmly. Analysis, "And many people are puzzled by the process of Danzo succeeding the Sixth Hokage, stepping down, and finally becoming a prisoner in just one month. We can take this opportunity to explain it clearly. Of course, it should not be known to the public. The information cannot be disclosed."

"..." As one of the parties involved, Itachi just pursed his lips tightly. The Uchiha clan originally planned to resist because they were dissatisfied with Konoha's rejection and neglect. If the rebellion really happened, Konoha would definitely be dead and wounded. .He didn't want the rare peace to be ruined, and he didn't want his young brother to witness the cruel war. He couldn't find a solution, so he could only compromise and agree to Danzo's plan, and killed the Uchiha clan, leaving only His own brother.

Sasuke thought for a while and found that this method could indeed take care of both sides. "This is indeed a good method, but how are you going to improve this story? I guess many people won't believe it."

"Danzo coveted the power of the Sharingan back then, and he did not hesitate to use the village secrets to threaten Uchiha Itachi to annihilate the clan. He even used Hashirama cells to transplant the Sharingan into himself. After hiding in the Anbu and developing a power that cannot be ignored, He began to ascend to the position of Hokage. When Pain attacked, he did not send Anbu to support Konoha, and successfully ascended to the position of Hokage when the fifth generation Hokage was seriously injured. During the Five Shadows Conference, he was followed by Mizukage. Seeing through the Sharingan hidden on his body, he was defeated by Uchiha Sasuke after escaping from the Five Kage Conference, and is now imprisoned in Konoha Prison. Although there are many facts hidden, these are the truth, and those who tell them must be Konoha's qualified ninjas Everyone will believe this." Shikamaru spoke calmly, calmly and ruthlessly using the criminals to the end, "It's true that Danzo has made a lot of contributions to Konoha, and maybe he really prevented a Konoha disaster. civil strife, but taking the Sharingan as one’s own is too terrifying, so it’s not an exaggeration to use him as a shield now.”

"I have also received information about Danzo. Shikamaru's words are true. And in this way, it not only explains the reason why Danzo became a criminal, but also hides the truth about Itachi back then." Tsunade nodded. He turned his head, and then looked at Shikamaru, "But those old guys in Konoha must not have opened this chapter so easily. They must have known the truth of the matter at the time, and they would definitely not let Sasuke, especially Itachi, go back to Konoha."

"They have almost reached the age of retirement, and if you think about it carefully, the Hokage of Konoha is now restricted by too many aspects. Although the power can be balanced, to a certain extent, the Hokage's voice does not have much deterrent effect. ", Shikamaru said casually while flipping through the paper. His expression seemed as calm as water, but he had already planned a general strategy.

Sakura, who was completely speechless, looked at Shikamaru's drastically changed temperament in surprise, but she also knew that this was related to his father's death in battle and Naruto's request.

"Then the matter of Sasuke and Itachi was covered up with Danzo as a shield. Anyway, everyone in the world now knows that you two are the heroes who solved the reincarnation of the dirty land, and you were also very active in the war, and even more closely followed Naru. Together, we saved the world from Kaguya." Tsunade made a conclusion without waiting for Itachi to express his stance, and concluded resolutely, "This matter is settled! Next topic!"

"Okay! Then Sasuke and Brother Itachi can become the heroes of Konoha and return to live in Konoha!" Naruto, who finally understood a little bit, nodded quickly, smiled happily and patted Sasuke hard. shoulder, "Look! How perfect the solution is!!"
