Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

I don't know why, but whenever I hear my disciple's nonchalant voice and slightly mocking tone,

He felt his liver fire surge up dramatically.

It was as if he were a subordinate or performing the rites of a disciple, and his dignity as a teacher was severely challenged.

Uehara Shinmei's rage went in one ear and out the other.

He continued, ignoring their words:

"Before, you were a ninja, a tool of the higher-ups. You didn't need to worry about anything else; you just needed to carry out your mission."

But now,

Even as a member of the high-level team, just a deputy minister, it represents a change in status.

Not only have they acquired the basic qualifications to play chess, but they have also successfully taken their first step.

These two games have very different gameplay and strategies, so you need to adjust your mindset as soon as possible.

The Uchiha clan treated politics like a ninja game, which led them step by step to their current predicament.

This world isn't just about fighting and killing; it also involves human relationships and social dynamics. If things don't change, things will probably get even worse.

"Then what should I do?"

In the blink of an eye, Jiraiya completely forgot that he wanted to restore the authority of his teachers.

With wide, curious eyes, his face was full of thirst for knowledge.

Chapter 152 Having a sword but not using it is one thing and not having a sword at all.

What should I do?

This question left Uehara Siming silent for a long time.

As a disciple of the Hokage, Jiraiya is now a highly sought-after candidate for the Fourth Hokage.

The intelligence department, in particular, is a crucial department in the village, possessing not only great power but also considerable room for maneuver.

It can be said that he can come up with more than a dozen different plans in just a moment.

Konoha is also facing numerous internal problems.

There are too many places that can be targeted and used as breakthroughs to count on one hand.

In many things, or even just by getting involved, profiting is almost inevitable.

But after pondering for a long time, he finally gave up those irrelevant thoughts.

He said calmly:

"Nothing to do."

"What do you mean by not having to do anything? If I don't have to do anything, what's the point of being the deputy head of the intelligence department?"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow slightly, his face filled with surprise.

In fact, he had already guessed several reasons why his disciple sought a position in the intelligence department.

They were also ready to charge into battle.

Or rather, this hero was already somewhat impatient for the cause of peace.

However, now the other party is telling him that he doesn't have to do anything, which leaves him completely bewildered.

At this time, shouldn't we take advantage of our high prestige and make a name for ourselves?

Uehara Siming took a deep breath.

I forcibly suppressed my restless thoughts.

"Just focus on doing your job in the intelligence department well, don't do anything unnecessary, and don't get too involved in political turmoil."

For example, ignore all disputes between ninja clans and commoner ninjas, Uchiha clans and villages, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, etc.

If you encounter the F4 members enriching themselves at the expense of the village, just pretend you didn't see it and keep it to yourself.

In my spare time, I write novels, visit brothels, and hone my ninjutsu.

Simply put, you should transform yourself into a seemingly harmless non-stick pan; that should be your specialty.

I'm too young now.

Teacher, you are only twenty-two years old, and your experience and background are not yet deep.

What we lack most is time.

As long as you grow up smoothly, you will eventually have everything you want and deserve. There is no need to fight over who is better or worse at this moment.

As for why he still wanted to be the deputy minister...

Tsk, having a sword and not using it is completely different from not having a sword at all.

As long as you remain in this position, as long as you possess a force of your own in Konoha,

Some people are naturally hesitant to act for fear of causing harm, that's all.

Uehara Siming said,

The turmoil in my heart gradually subsided.

To be honest, getting to where we are today is already an incredibly lucky start.

Might Guy, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Mikoto Uchiha

They have no shortage of ninjutsu, connections, or even money these days.

They also caused several big commotions, drawing everyone's attention.

He was genuinely afraid that he might lose control and do something foolish that he would regret later.

Thinking this way,

Uehara Shinmei swept the documents and materials off the table.

He picked up a brush and wrote twelve large characters on a vertical scroll.

Success or failure, choices, advancement or retreat, right or wrong, honor or disgrace, gain or loss.

These twelve characters once hung in his office in his previous life.

I wouldn't say I ponder it every day, but at least when I see something, I think about it a little longer.

Now, he wants to hang it up again to remind himself that he must never become arrogant when he lacks ability.

The saying goes, "One should not be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat; one should make wise choices and know when to advance and retreat."

Right and wrong are determined by oneself, praise and blame are determined by others, and gains and losses are irrelevant.

Ultimately, this ninja is all about strength.

When you have the ability, arrogance is no longer arrogance, but boldness, magnanimity, the bearing of a dragon and tiger, and great talent and strategy.

Being arrogant when you lack strength isn't arrogance; it's courting death.

Beside him, when Jiraiya saw Uehara Shimei's vertical scroll,

I roughly understood his thoughts, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

For a nine-year-old child,

Regardless of extraordinary ninja talent or monstrous intelligence,

Although rare, it is not that difficult to understand.

The ninja world has been around for a thousand years; it's actually quite normal for a few extraordinary beings to occasionally appear.

This state of mind is something that a child shouldn't have.

You should know that Uehara Siming is the slap-wielding maniac who once said, "A man who isn't reckless in his youth is not a true youth," and "What kind of young man isn't impetuous?"

The way she's trying so hard to restrain herself now is a bit out of character.

However, he did not question anything.

He simply exclaimed in amazement:

"How did you practice your handwriting? It looks different from everyone else's."

"Want to learn? I'll teach you."

"I'm not going to learn it, just write me a piece directly, hehe."

"No problem, I've got it covered."

……

Uehara Siming's unexpected choice to keep a low profile

Not only Jiraiya in the video, but also the two viewers from the ninja world were quite surprised.

This guy's arrogance, domineering attitude, and reckless behavior are already well-known.

I never imagined there was such a period.

However, most people, upon seeing this scene, did not express any emotion, but instead immediately launched into a吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or complain) mode, offering deep criticism.

"The successes and failures, right and wrong, honor and disgrace, and choices of others may require us to take a detached view of temporary gains and act according to the circumstances."

But the goal of the fourth generation is that I succeed while you fail, I gain while you lose, I am right while you are wrong, I take while you give up, I advance while you retreat, I prosper while you suffer disgrace.

I hope everyone understands this correctly.

"You're absolutely right. That's why I was wondering what was wrong with that part. Your analysis makes me feel much better now."

"The Hokage knows when to advance and retreat; he only stormed the Hokage Building and seized the prime position when he was eighteen."

"You're eighteen already, isn't that enough restraint? Isn't...it...enough...?"

"So that's how it works, I understand now."

"Me too. Uehara-kun really knows how to lose. Although he got the Hokage position, he lost his beloved F4, hahaha."

"If you can't laugh yourself to death, then is the choice between marrying a dozen wives and giving up your right to be a single aristocrat?"

"As expected, you really have to look at the comments. Everyone here is so talented and speaks so well. I love it here."
