Naruto Neji: I can see chakra!

Suddenly, Might Guy seemed to remember something and turned around: "Congratulations, Neji, you are one of the only two ninjas who passed the Chunin exam this time!"

Hyuga Neji gently lifted the Konoha forehead protector on his forehead and said with a smile: "The other one is Shikamaru. His wisdom is quite in line with the standard of a Chunin."

Might Guy was a little surprised, but then his eyes were full of admiration.

"Yes, it's him!"

In Might Guy's eyes, even if Nara Shikamaru became a Chunin, he was just a Chunin and could only play the role of a Chunin for a short period of time.

But if Hyuga Neji becomes a Chunin, his strength will be much more terrifying than that of a Chunin!

However, if you want to survive in the political environment of Konoha Village, it is not possible to become Hokage just by being powerful.

You need to complete each task according to the rules and regulations, and only after you have made contributions to the village will you be given greater power and be followed by the majority of people.

Soon, the two walked into a secluded corridor in the Hokage's office building that ordinary people would not touch.

A few minutes later, Might Guy took the initiative to stop, raised his hand slightly, and gently knocked on the plain little door in front of him.

Da da--

Then a voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Might Guy turned the doorknob and motioned for Neji Hyuga to follow him in.

Hyuga Neji followed closely behind and after entering, he found that it was a small room with no extra flower pots. The light was a little dim and there were no windows. The light was provided by the candles lit on the walls on both sides.

There were three people sitting right behind a table. One of them was Mito Kado En, another was his good friend Utane Koharu, and the last one was the leader of the jounin squad, Nara Shikaku.

To be honest, after the death of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the power of Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu suddenly lost its foundation.

Of course, this is only within the political system of Konoha Village.

The two of them are still the ones who have the final say in their own ethnic group.

After the death of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, to be honest, all matters big and small in Konoha Village are now basically decided by the Jonin Class who are left in the village after discussion.

Among these people, the one whose wisdom was unanimously recognized and whose suggestions were often adopted was the official leader of the jonin squad who served as the invisible Hokage - Nara Shikaku.

"Hyuga Neji, right? According to your experience, you have an excellent family background and are loyal to Konoha Village. Do you know why we called you here today?" Mito Kado En placed his hands on the table, clasping them mysteriously to cover half of his face, and spoke faintly from behind his glasses.

Hyuga Neji nodded: "The Sandaime Hokage once talked to me when he was still alive."

When they heard about their good friend, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, not only Mito Kado En, but even Utane Koharu beside them, the lines on their faces softened.

Although they have gone through many ups and downs for decades and have done a lot of stupid things in Konoha Village, they have also done more good things for Konoha Village.

Especially the inconspicuous Utane Koharu.

As a bridge of communication with the Fire Country Daimyo, every year, Utane Koharu is able to live up to the high expectations and obtain grants and subsidies that are worth a fortune from the Fire Country Daimyo, allowing Konoha Village to develop better and better every year. The village even has the spare capacity to extend the training period of ninjas to 6 years and increase the number of students admitted several times.

How to provide subsidies if there is no money?

"Well, since Hiruzen has talked to you, there's no need for us to pretend. This kid is great! Shikaku, I'll leave the rest to you. We still have some things to discuss about funding the reconstruction of Konoha Village, and how much more money we can get from the Fire Country Daimyo."

They are all from the same village, so there is no need to play it safe. After losing her good friend, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utane Koharu is no longer so aggressive.

The right thing to do is to return to your own job and ask for more money from Konoha Village.

Whether it was Mito Kado En, Utatane Koharu, or Shimura Danzo, they actually did some things that only a Hokage could do.

A combination of light and darkness.

There are a lot of things, right? When the first and second Hokage were alive, there were no such things.

Nara Shikaku quickly stood up and bowed his head in greeting.

"Two elders and advisors, please take care."

When Konoha Village was first established, there was no such position as Elder Advisor - not officially.

Mitokado En and Utane Koharu, two older ninjas, grew up in Konoha Village and will grow old and die in Konoha Village like their good friends. Although they did gain some benefits for their families during their vacation, this was completely within the policy and they did not force others to harm the interests of Konoha Village to make themselves the only dominant family.

In the final analysis, it is all the power of Konoha Village, but they just want to keep the power in the hands of their own friends as much as possible.

However, the vast majority of tribesmen who are trained with this kind of preferential treatment can only influence the mid- and low-end battlefields, but cannot cultivate true masters, and cannot affect the overall situation of the village.

The world of ninja is a world of extraordinary powers.

Therefore, a strong person alone can make the final decision. Even in the later period of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, although he was already old at that time, he was still the strongest ninja.

He is the strongest, so what he says is law.

This kind of top talent cannot be cultivated simply by training. It requires talent. Without talent, no amount of training can turn a pig into a Six Paths Sage.

After Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu left, Nara Shikaku took out a booklet from the drawer, as well as a set of Anbu ninja gift packs that were tailored based on Hyuga Neji's height and weight data.

"This is a gift pack for new members of the Anbu in Konoha Village. It contains the code of conduct and reward and punishment regulations for Anbu ninjas, as well as a set of uniforms and daggers. In addition to the uniforms, you can buy special ninja tools like this dagger - ah, and the most important one is the mask that Anbu ninjas have to wear! As for this, let Kai take you to the next room to pick one you like."

Hyuga Neji walked forward and picked up his new member gift bag, his heart filled with curiosity and a little joy.

After all, becoming an Anbu ninja is an experience that even the two protagonists in the original work have never experienced.

What kind of world would that be?

Looking at the young man holding the clothes, Nara Shikaku stroked his beard, and then as if he suddenly realized something, he took out an envelope from the drawer and handed it over with a smile.
