Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

About five months ago, after careful consideration, he finally decided to use the power of Konoha to realize his ideal.

It was at that time that he expressed his wish to Shikahisa Nara.

What Mr. Lu Jiu meant at the time was to let him wait for the opportunity first.

He thought this timing was the abdication of Tsunade Hime of the Fifth Hokage, but he didn't expect that the other party would give him such a big surprise in just five months.

"Sorry to trouble you." Naruto thanked him sincerely.

"I can't tell who is thanking whom." Shikamaru smiled slightly.

If there were not enough benefits, how could the Yamanaka clan and the Akimichi clan agree to stand up and support Naruto's candidacy for the Sixth Hokage?

The two of them chatted for a while, and the sunset in the west slowly set on the hillside.

"Let's go, let's go to my house to settle dinner." Shikamaru stood up and said.

After walking through the familiar yet unfamiliar streets and arriving at Shikamaru's house, the evening glow had been replaced by night.

"Back." Shikamaru's mother leaned out of the kitchen.

"excuse me."

Naruto scratched his head and smiled.

"Little Naruto, it's been a while." Shikamaru's mother was taken aback, then smiled.

"Sit down first, dinner will be ready soon."

Since his arrival, the dishes on the table have been added one after another, and when Mr. Lu Jiu came back, the table was already full of dishes.

"Extraordinarily rich!"

Shikahisa Nara exclaimed.

After dinner, the three came to sit in the courtyard.

"Shikamaru should have told you all, right?" Nara Shikahisa asked

Naruto nodded.

"My idea is to let you change your identity and return to Konoha."

"Huh?" Naruto and Shikamaru looked at each other, and both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

"Three months is neither long nor short. If you don't take some shortcuts, I'm not very sure that you can successfully run."

Nara Shikaku glanced sideways at the Hokage Rock on the cliff.

"Naruto, if I asked you to change your surname back to your original name, would you accept it?"

"...Namikaze?"

Naruto was taken aback for a moment, influenced by his previous life, he didn't have much obsession with the name, after all it was just a code name.

Wolf, Sekiro, Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto...

To him, it's all the same, as long as others know that they are calling themselves when they say this title.

"Yes."

Nara Shikaku nodded solemnly.

"The reason why the Third Hokage asked you to take your mother's surname was to ensure that you could have a safe growing environment when you were young."

"And for you now, those who threaten your growth, crushing them to death is no more difficult than crushing ants."

"When you are out in the sun, the Fourth Hokage's old men will stand up to support you."

"With their support, you will have a lot less stress."

"The shadow of my father's generation..." Naruto followed his gaze and looked at the Shadow Rock of the Fourth Hokage.

The father of this world died young, but from birth to now, he has always been under his father's care.

"I am willing."

"I'll arrange it for you tomorrow."

Nara Shikaku felt relieved, the most difficult step was completed.

He was really afraid that Naruto would reject changing his surname because of his childhood experience.

"Just stay in Konoha during this time, you are busy."

……

Hokage Building.

"Uchiha Sasuke and Kakashi have already settled down, but there is still one place left. Before the next Jonin meeting is held, those guys probably won't be able to stop."

Tsunade said with interest.

"I'm not sure, the three clans of Ino, Deer and Butterflies haven't made any move yet." Jiraiya had a different view, "If Shikaku takes action, those guys won't have a chance to grab the remaining spots."

"There are only two essences of Konoha's younger generation. Unless Lu Jiu stands on his own, whoever Zhu Ludie supports is destined to run with him."

"Yes." Jiraiya agreed with his face.

If nothing else, the sixth Hokage is probably chosen between Sasuke Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake.

"Actually... If you really want to choose, Uchiha Itachi is the most suitable." When he said this, he obviously hesitated.

"But his past is doomed, he can't appear in the sun." Tsunade also sighed.

The two of them are not like the group of three generations of hokage, who have a deep-rooted concept of "the Uchiha family is a source of instability".

Therefore, they viewed Itachi's talent and love for Konoha from a positive perspective.

"On the other hand, the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan surprised me. They actually supported Kakashi."

Jiraiya touched his chin, "I thought they would support Asma Sarutobi."

"Presumably they also know that it is impossible for Sarutobi Asma to compete with Sasuke who has the eternal kaleidoscope Sharingan."

Tsunade shrugged slightly.

"It's just a pity that the old man paved so many roads for him." Jiraiya sighed.

Jonin, the guide of Inokacho's next generation!

I don't know how many ninjas are greedy for this position.

One can imagine how much their teacher, Asuma Sarutobi's father, and the third Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, paid.

"With so many resources, you have the level- combat power of a Jonin." Tsunade had an expression of hatred.

"The elders of the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan are not stupid. They will not do useless work."

"Tsunade, who do you prefer, Sasuke or Kakashi?" Jiraiya asked with a smile.

"Trying to trick me?"

Tsunade glared at him angrily, but still spoke her mind.

"At this stage, I am more optimistic about Kakashi. After all, he has experienced many things and his thoughts are more mature; but in the future, I am more optimistic about Sasuke. He has awakened the Eternal Kaleidoscope. His qualifications are beyond doubt. His lack of experience and experience, under the baptism of time, It will eventually grow.”

"Also, Hokage values ​​strength more than experience."

Ji Lai also nodded, his opinion is similar.

The existence of the leaders of Xiao and Longyin's organization has fully proved that after the personal strength reaches a certain level, the strength of the organization is only incidental.

……

Shiranui Genma with a thousand books in his mouth looked up at Qing Yaju in front of him, smacking his lips slightly.

In the past two days, because of the Sixth Hokage candidate election, he has received countless invitations, but the number of times he has come to this restaurant is still very small.

To be able to entertain the Quartet in this elegant residence, in addition to funds, there is also a request for influence.

There is a gossip that the owner behind this restaurant is the daimyo of the current Fire Kingdom, but there has been no official response, and no one knows whether it is true or not.

It's true that no one dares to make trouble here.

The last people who invited him here were the Sarutobi and Shimura clans.

"Sure enough, you are here too."

A voice came, and he looked sideways, only to see two men walking towards him.

One of them has a scar on the left side of his face and short brown hair; the other wears green sunglasses and has a handsome appearance.

"Same? Aoba?"

Shiranui Genma was shocked. The three of them were all members of the Fourth Hokage's bodyguards, so they were old acquaintances.

"This banquet is a bit special."

"What do you mean?" Shiranui Genma was confused.

"Hayate and some old departments of the fourth generation have already entered before us." He Zuo said in the same way.

Although the other party asked questions, Shiranui Genma understood what he meant and bit the Senbon in his mouth.

"It's really special..."
