Playing house in the anime world

Nara Shikaku sent someone to deliver the gift from the Ripple Country to the Third Hokage. He guessed that the Third Hokage should have also received the news.

This Ripple Country does sound real, and they have no way of confirming its authenticity now. After all, it is protected by a barrier, so who knows where it is?

Gojo Aiko looked at Nara Shikaku with a smile, waiting to meet the Sandaime.

Before coming here, they had a discussion about who would be the leader of Konoha Village now.

Generally speaking, the next person after the Fourth Hokage must be the Fifth Hokage, but according to Minato Namikaze's analysis, there are not many people in Konoha Village who are suitable to be the boss, and those who are suitable are not willing to do so, so if there is really no one, the Third Hokage may have to come.

I just tried it out casually and found out that it is indeed the Sandaime who is managing Konoha now.

This Konoha is not in good shape, there is a gap between the old and the new.

Gojo Aiko continued chatting with Nara Shikaku while thinking about Naruto's question in her mind.

No matter what, Naruto must continue to live in Konoha. If Konoha is not doing well, then Naruto will definitely not be able to live well either.

They had to think of a way. If Naruto wasn't having a good time, they would secretly give him good things.

First of all, of course, I have to give him the communicator and teach him how to use it to chat with everyone. Then there is the door to Meteor Garden. I don’t know if Naruto has his own house. If he does, it will be more convenient for Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato to come and see him.

It's just a little easy for other ninjas to find out, so I have to find a way to cover it up.

It didn't take long before the Sandaime Hokage arrived.

Chiba Erzhiyu exchanged some pleasantries with the smiling old man, and then started talking about business.

The third generation lord Sarutobi Hiruzen directly stated that he had arranged someone to serve as a tour guide for Gojo Aiko and his group, and also formed a ninja team to protect them closely. As for the rest... he just made jokes about it all.

Gojo Aiko knew exactly what Sarutobi Hiruzen was planning, so she had no choice but to try her best to befriend them and keep an eye on them. This was normal since their original purpose was to enter Konoha Village openly anyway.

Another thing is to show off your presence in front of everyone in Konoha Village, preferably to attract Naruto's attention.

This would make it convenient for them to raid Naruto's house at night.

Surely after seeing them during the day, Naruto wouldn't be frightened by their night attack, right?

Nara Shikaku was still in Gojo Aiko's group of tour guides. He led Gojo Aiko and her group, starting from the gate of Konoha Village and walking all the way inside.

"There are quite a lot of people in Konoha." Gojo Aiko walked beside Nara Shikaku, looking left and right, visiting the Konoha Village with curiosity.

"Most of them are ninjas and their families." Nara Shikaku was a little curious about the population composition of the Ripple Country. Most of the residents of Konoha Village were related to ninjas. Most of the people who had ninja talents in their families basically all became ninjas, while those without talents did some ordinary business.

There are only a very small number of ordinary merchants from outside the village.

The Ripple Country also has the distinction between ordinary people without talent and warriors with talent who can practice. So is their population structure the same as Konoha?

"Aren't the ninja clan the majority? I heard that many ninjas have families, and many ninjutsu are passed down through blood." Gojo Aiko felt that at first glance, the people walking on the street seemed to be ordinary people.

"That's true. Most ninjas come from a certain family. There are also cases where some people were not born into a family but are very outstanding, or a child with ninja talent suddenly appears in an ordinary family." Nara Shikaku is from the Nara clan. Many of the ninja's ninjutsu are inherited from their ancestors and passed down through blood.

And those civilian ninjas who are not from the ninja clan basically rarely possess those powerful and special ninjutsu, and can only learn ninjutsu from others or create their own ninjutsu.

"This is different from us." Gojo Aiko smiled mysteriously, "The breathing method moves forward with the blade that splits the night, and the ripples are transmitted to every warrior with unyielding faith. When you embark on the journey of pure dreams, the gods' glances prove your determination and also affirm your strength. Therefore, the glory belongs to every brave man, that is, you, and all of you."

Nara Shikaku quickly thought about the meaning of these words.

The breathing method is used in conjunction with the Sun Blade, so the blade that splits the night should refer to the Sun Blade. What does the night here refer to? Does it mean the enemy? But hasn't there been a war in the Ripple Country for a long time? So the night here may simply refer to the setbacks you encounter in your life.

The phrase "ripple" is relatively easy to understand, and it roughly means that every warrior can use this power, but how the "warrior" is defined here is unclear.

The following paragraph should be the Eye of God, which sounds a bit mysterious, but the last sentence means that everyone has the potential to obtain these powers.

In other words, these powers are not inherited through blood or simply through blood, but as long as you have the talent and determination, you can obtain them?

Although their previous conversation had mentioned that neither the Breathing Method, Ripples, nor the Eye of God were accessible to everyone and there was a threshold, this threshold probably did not refer to bloodline.

It sounds like there shouldn't be any family like the Ninja Clan in the Ripple Country.

On the side of the road, a few people happened to hear what Gojo Aiko said. People on the street were already looking at this group of outsiders who were dressed very exquisitely and looked like important people. As a result, even more people were secretly observing them.

"What is the breathing method? Is there anything special about breathing?"

"Ripples mean ripples in the water?"

“Are there really gods in the world?”

The whispers of passers-by did not affect Gojo Aiko and the others. In the corner, a few little kids were looking at the bustling street curiously.

"Shikamaru, it's Uncle Shikaku!" Akimichi Choji held a bag of potato chips and looked at the backs of Gojo Aiko and her group with curiosity.

"I saw this." The little kid who looked a lot like Nara Shikaku leaned against the wall with a calm face. Compared to the curious Akimichi Choji and Uzumaki Naruto, he just hoped that the people around his father were not troublesome guys.

Because they look very strong, but their attire and appearance don't resemble any of the five major ninja villages.

"Naruto? Who are you looking at?" Akimichi Choji was curious for a moment and then stopped being curious. As a result, when he turned around, he saw Naruto staring at those people with a very focused expression.

"Naruto?" Naruto did not answer. Nara Shikamaru patted his shoulder and followed his gaze to see two men in black who were wrapped tightly.

Among this group of brightly dressed people, only these two were dressed as ninjas. Moreover, they wrapped themselves tightly, even covering their eyes with sunglasses.

He guessed that these two ninjas were probably the guardian ninjas of the leading blue-haired girl, and other than that there didn't seem to be anything worthy of attention.

Naruto came back to his senses a little. He looked at Akimichi Chouji and Nara Shikamaru in confusion: "Who are they?"
