After planting trees in Naruto, I decided to go to Infinite Tsukuyomi

Chapter 87 The arrival of the daimyo

A fleet of gorgeous carriages stopped at the gate of Konoha Village. The gatekeepers, Steel Steel and Kamizuki Izumo, bowed solemnly to greet them. The Third Hokage also appeared at the gate and personally greeted these adults from the Land of Fire.

"Long time no see, Lord Daimyo. Your arrival has made Konoha shine brightly." The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen walked up to the largest carriage in the convoy and greeted him cordially.

It was very rare that he didn't bring this pipe with him this time. It was to show his respect for the daimyo that he suppressed his habit of smoking continuously.

Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the Hokage, stood silently behind his father.

The window of the carriage was opened, and a young man's face was revealed inside. It was his youngest son Kazuhito, who was a daimyo. This time, he and the daimyo were riding in the same carriage together.

"Hokage-sama, my father is tired from the journey, so please take us to a place to settle down first."

Although Kazuhito calls himself "King Father", there is no such thing in this world. The concept of "King" is that the supreme ruler has a daimyo, and the daimyo clan is called the royal family.

"Of course this is His Highness Kazuhito." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded to Kazuhito, and Sarutobi Asuma behind him also bowed politely.

In Konoha, the place dedicated to welcoming distinguished guests is also the place where the Daimyo Lady stayed last time. The carriage quickly passed through Konoha, attracting the attention of many ninjas and civilians, and there was a constant stream of discussions as they speculated on which distinguished client would be coming this time.

"The daimyo is His Highness His Highness, long time no see."

Sasuke's true form had been waiting at the VIP room early. He was wearing an almost pure black haori with the family crest embroidered on the back. Haori's appearance is very simple, but the materials used are excellent, which fully conforms to the aesthetic taste of Sanjo Castle nobles who advocate simplicity.

Seeing another Sasuke who had just stepped out of the car, Kazuhito showed a surprised expression, "Sasuke-sensei, didn't you go to Fujimoto Castle? Why did you arrive so early?"

"There is a shadow clone." Deren, a well-informed daimyo, put it bluntly. He was supported by his son and walked out of the car. His legs under the Chinese clothes were slightly inflated. The daimyo rarely went out of Sanjo Castle because he was confused by the carriage.

The daimyo's steps were not very steady, and he was about to fall, but Sasuke stepped forward to help him, which was much faster than Sarutobi Asuma who had just taken a step.

Seeing Sasuke's quick reaction, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes darkened because Sasuke was faster than Asuma just now. It seems that Kakashi was right when he said that Sasuke has a speed ninja.

It's such a pity that such a good talent may never be put to use again.

After some simple greetings, the daimyo and his entourage quickly checked into the best room in Konoha's VIP house. Just as Sasuke was about to retreat, the Daimyo stopped him.

"Heren, this kid has always been interested in Mu, and is interested in Sasuke. Let him follow you around these days." This time, the daimyo's expression was warm, as if he was facing his own junior, which was completely different from the previous aloofness. .

Facing the sudden enthusiasm of the daimyo, Sasuke was naturally very cooperative. He didn't even look at him. He only nodded to the daimyo and left with an excited look on his face.

Although there is no clear evidence, Sasuke believes that the thick-faced Naruhito Daimyo is very afraid of Naruto and Konoha, so he has to clearly position himself in front of this balanced master.

As for Naruto? From his standpoint, he was naturally not willing to see the complete separation of Uchiha and Konoha. But there is...

Sasuke believed that he was the rival of Hiruzen Sarutobi, a mere village chief who had no name at all.

You must know that Konoha is small, the "political struggle" among the ninjas is relatively straightforward, it is unpretentious, and the methods are not very high, so it is completely different from the various bells and whistles in Sanjo Castle.

Will Hiruzen Sarutobi tell the daimyo about his signature "Will of Fire"?

Absolutely not. Otherwise, who will rule this country of fire? Sarutobi Hiruzen probably had some thoughts about this.

In fact, even though Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't understand the routines between nobles and royal families, he had a basic understanding of it after being the Hokage for so many years. He didn't quite know what to say, but he knew what not to say. What.

As long as Konoha's sword doesn't cut him down, Sasuke has nothing to worry about. The Hokage has no restraint on him at all. But in turn, he is a Konoha advisor and he already has his power.

Konoha is simply too small.

He, Uchiha Sasuke, is destined to stand in the sky in the future.

Ahem, there seems to be some interference.

After the two young men left, the atmosphere in the spacious room began to become dull.

"Then let's take our leave first and ask the Daimyo to have a good rest. If you need anything, please contact the ninja here."

Seeing that the daimyo was tired, Hiruzen Sarutobi held on to his hat and planned to leave with his son.

To the Hokage's surprise, the daimyo spoke again, and his tone seemed to be making peace with the Hokage, "Hiruzen, Sasuke, is such a good boy. It's thanks to you that you let him leave Konoha."

Hearing the daimyo's approval, the Hokage's face under his hat became serious. Sarutobi Hiruzen had dealt with the daimyo several times before, so he really couldn't figure out the inscrutable thoughts of this lord.

The daimyo's words can never just be heard to show that he is sincerely praising his generosity? Are you mocking yourself and Konoha for not retaining talented people?

It was really difficult for a ninja like him to talk to these adults.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled kindly and started chatting on this topic, "The daimyo is Sasuke-kun. He has a very opinionated child. I respect his choice very much."

After a few exchanges, the daimyo nodded with satisfaction and leaned back on his chair, no longer hiding his fatigue. The servant next to him saw that the daimyo was tired and immediately urged the two of them to leave.

After leaving the VIP room, Asuma took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with the Ancestral Fire Release. He looked at his father next to him in puzzlement and said, "Dad, what are you and the Daimyo talking about?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head at his son and said, "The Daimyo-sama is sure, but I really can't see his deep meaning."

Who is the daimyo trying to test? With him and Sasuke, what on earth was he testing them for?

However, it seemed that the daimyo admired Sasuke's children very much, so he was relieved that the future would depend on these young people.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the lush green leaves on the street. He believed that the future of young people like Sasuke and Naruto would be as prosperous as the trees planted by the first generation teacher, and that Konoha Hidden Village would get better and better.

"It's true that some nobles or royals always speak so vaguely that they don't even know what they are talking about." Asuma took a puff of smoke and began to complain. He had been a guardian nin for so many years. Although he had gained a lot of experience, he was still not used to the way of speaking between nobles, which was more profound than cryptography.

Ninjas have weapons because they are powerful in combat; ninjas have spies because they can obtain all kinds of intelligence. But after all, there are ninjas and there are no officials and nobles. They can only understand the way of thinking of the same ninja village, and they also use the ninja village as the object of exchange, communication, competition and hostility.

To them, the nobles, especially those in power in Sanjo Castle, were living in the clouds. They lived completely in two worlds and led two completely different lives.

Ninja Village needs a client because apart from the trust relationship, ninjas and nobles basically have no intersection.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the clouds in the sky. When he was young, he had always regarded the adults in Sanjo Castle as figures like Tenjin. They were the two generations of daimyo of the Land of Fire, and they were even more unfathomable.

There is no shortage of great ninja clans in history, and it is not surprising that the special case of noble status is that ninjas govern small countries. But here has never been the most powerful fire country in the ninja world. But the child Uchiha Sasuke seems to have this possibility that a ninja can successfully enter the center of world power.

Is it because he was born in Uchiha and was rich and talented? Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his son. He also had a man who was extremely knowledgeable and was called "Doctor Ninja" by the ninja world. However, the second son he gave birth to seemed too mediocre. Even the literary talents of the Uchiha clan, a fighting race, were... Can't compare.

He then remembered that Konohamaru's grandson didn't like reading and was always mischievous. Although such a grandson is very cute, compared with Sasuke when he was a child...

Not to mention Sasuke's helpful character and reading volume, but just saying that as a ninja, Sasuke was accompanied by Mikoto, a jonin, with shuriken and taijutsu almost every day when he was a child. Beat his grandson.

It seemed that his son and grandson were crushed by Sasuke in all aspects. Are the Uchiha clan really that good at teaching children? He remembered that Itachi was also someone who not only had a deep sense of justice but also had great strength.

As they walked, the Hokage began to worry about his family's education problems. His son, who kept smoking, began to look more and more unpleasant to him. Having a second son in the family is why Asuma and Sasuke are so different.

"Asuma, you will study with the Konohamaru family from today until you finish reading all the books in the family!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't quite understand, but there was always something wrong with reading. He still remembers what Qianzora, the protagonist of "Brave New World" once said: "Books are the ladder of human progress." He deeply agrees.

Asuma was so shocked that he dropped his cigarette butt on the ground. How could he still study when he was already a jounin?

"Dad, why?"

"Because you are so worthless!"
