My Hokage Journey

In the imperial palace of the apse, the breeze blows, the green bamboos sway, and the white walls are surrounded by flowers. Although it is early summer, it makes people feel as if they are still in the most blooming moment of spring.

In the courtyard, a dignified woman with exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes was sighing silently. The sound of swaying bamboo leaves in the courtyard seemed unable to wash away the sadness between her brows.

"Lord Jingji, let's have something to eat first. Your Highness will be back soon." The maid next to her couldn't help but persuade her when she saw the haggard look on her face.

But as usual, the other party replied with a hint of sadness, "I'm not hungry. By the way, you prepare a meal and let His Highness eat first when he comes back."

After saying this, he waved to them, straightened his sleeves, and took small steps toward the northeast corner of the room.

Alas, the maids sighed. Ever since the doctor was bedridden and many doctors shook their heads and left, Lady Jing Ji rarely smiled. It was a pity for such a kind and gentle lady.

But it's no wonder, after all, mother and son are connected. No matter who his son is now like this, it will be uncomfortable for him. Which son is not a piece of flesh that fell from his mother's body.

The maid, who had recovered her thoughts, was about to go back with the food in hand. As soon as she turned around, she bumped into something and the wooden tray in her hand was instantly released.At this moment, a small hand caught the falling tray at an incredible angle and timing. Before she could react, the other party had already handed the tray back to her. What was even more surprising was that the food on it was not even at all. It was a miracle that it didn't spill out.

"Ah, thank you!"

When she raised her head, a pair of dark and deep eyes came into her eyes. She was calm and reserved, but she was just a teenager.

"You're welcome." The young man replied with a smile on his face.

At this moment, a voice sounded from behind him, "Go and prepare some more meals and deliver them to my room later." I saw a tall, thin man walking towards me with a steady pace. He ordered, "By the way, has Jing'er eaten?"

"Back to Your Highness, Lady Jingji said she wasn't hungry, so..."

"I know, you go down first." The middle-aged man sighed unnoticed.

"Yes." After saying that, he lowered his head and retreated.

Seeing the strange look on the young man's face, he smiled softly and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Lu Ming, could it be that you have fallen in love with that maid?"

He shook his head, he was not just a lower body animal, and besides, this body was really powerless.

He closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then said sincerely, "I just feel that the air here is particularly fresh..."

"Really?" The middle-aged man smiled noncommittally and opened the door for the three of them himself.

…………

The spacious room was very quiet and filled with large and small bookshelves. The moment they opened the door, they felt a breath of books coming towards their faces. This was very different from Lu Ming's original imagination. It's different. As the residence of a daimyo's son, even if it's not splendid, it shouldn't be so different. It seems that the aesthetics between father and son are very different.

The four of them sat down at the same time. Compared with the calmness of the three below, Imagawa Yigen, who was sitting in the middle, felt a little ups and downs in his heart.

Looking at the three Konoha ninjas below, he seemed to recall the scene in the main hall in the morning that he would never forget.

He witnessed with his own eyes his father's furious but helpless look. To be honest, he had never seen the Daimyo of the Fire Country have the opportunity to have such an expression. He was shocked at that moment. He could not imagine that the original leader of a country could actually So powerless and passive.

And the status of ninjas in his heart was instantly overturned. They were no longer just thugs. On the contrary,

They are the ones who really call the shots in the Fire Nation.

This not only made him a little disappointed, but also suddenly gave him an idea, a bold idea.

He is 34 years old this year, but his father is only in his early fifties. There is only a 17-year age difference between the two. The waiting time in between is unpredictably long, ten years, 20 years, or even 30 years. That Even if he really takes the position of daimyo at that time, he may not have a good few years left.

And because his mother was originally just a maid with a low status, he was not lovable in front of his father. He could clearly feel that his attitude towards the second child was much more affectionate than his own, so as the eldest son, he actually also There is no 100% certainty that he will inherit the position of daimyo.

But today's scene made him discover that there was actually a shortcut to his dream, so he was moved.

He doesn't care about Konoha's dominance, he just needs to be a daimyo, that's enough.

But how was he going to convince Konoha?

What advantages does he have compared to his father?

Nothing but a little.

He can do his best to cooperate with the other party's requirements. This is the biggest bargaining chip he can give.

And according to the past relationship between the two parties, he actually doesn't think Konoha is too excessive. These demands are what they should bear, so according to the principle that if you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you, in fact Konoha They are easy to get along with, but originally they were too self-righteous.

Uchiha Rakusui and Hayada Ohno, who were sitting next to them, did not guess that the other party's purpose of inviting them at this moment was a bit surprising and strange at best.

But as an otaku who has watched too many ancient TV series such as Palace Fighting and Seizing the Progeny, Lu Ming can probably guess a little bit of the other party's thoughts. After all, as the eldest son of the daimyo, he secretly contacted the only warlord force in the Fire Country—— Konoha, it's a bit wrong to think about it with your butt.

But guessing is just a guess, not accurate. You still have to listen to the real thoughts of the person involved.

Lu Ming put on a thoughtful attitude and asked, "May I ask what your Highness Imagawa means by inviting us here today?"

Hearing the other party's question, Imagawa Yigen took a deep breath, clasped his hands on the ground, and lowered his head deeply. What surprised them more than this action was what he said next.

"Please help me in Konoha to ascend to the position of daimyo!" The slight trembling in the voice showed the timidity and uneasiness of the speaker who was trying his best to restrain himself.

But this does not prevent people from feeling the courage of the speaker at this moment.

There was no beating around the bush, no covering up, just a bullet was loaded, and with a bang, it suddenly flew out, leaving no room for itself.

If he doesn't succeed, then Chengren's aura immediately attacks everyone present. This magnanimity makes Lu Ming have to praise him.

Needless to say, Uchiha Rakusui and even Hayata Ohno were a little confused. What the hell is this?

But before they could digest the words of the daimyo's son, a light voice sounded like a demon with a smile.

"So what kind of promise can you make?"

This was a sudden collision between one bomb and another, and the huge storm set off at the same time was so big that it was frightening.

Uchiha Rakusui and Hayada Ohno looked at the smiling boy in unison.

With a look of disbelief on their faces, it was really hard for ninjas who were used to fighting life and death to imagine that this incredible conversation in front of them happened so naturally in front of them.

And Imagawa Yigen, who lowered his head, slowly raised his head, with a face full of surprise and surprise...
