Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 190 - Extremely Long Title!

The day of the visit to Kumogakure arrived quickly.

Because the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning has also returned, both Konoha and Kumogakure are taking this very seriously.

Among them, the Hidden Cloud Village was personally led by the Fourth Raikage, A, and even included Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and Yugito Nii, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

In the past, Konoha would never have allowed Kumogakure to bring a Jinchūriki into Konoha.

After all, the uncontrollability of tailed beasts is just too great.

It is enormous in size and has terrifying destructive power.

However, the Konoha of today is not the Konoha of the past.

Putting aside the fact that the village already has Kurama the Nine-Tailed Fox and Isobu the Three-Tailed Fox, just look at Nara Shikatoki. Do you think these two Jinchūriki can cause any trouble?

be honest.

If those two tailed beasts dare to breathe, they'll get a severe beating.

This is the current strength of Konoha.

"Shikatoki-kun, Minato-kun, it's been a long time." The daimyo of the Land of Lightning greeted the two of them very familiarly.

The two of them bowed in greeting.

"Since you two are both here, I'll let Nobuko meet you."

Shikatoki was genuinely surprised that the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was in such a hurry, and quickly spoke up to stop him: "Your Excellency, you must be tired from your journey. Let me take you and Princess Nobuko to rest for a while."

"We have plenty of time and many opportunities."

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning thought it made sense and realized he was indeed tired from the journey, so he nodded and readily accepted, "Shikatoki-kun, you're so thoughtful. I've always said you're the best candidate."

Shika was internally cursing, but outwardly maintained a smile, "Daimyō-sama, this way please."

When Minato saw Shika, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked towards the Hidden Cloud Village ninja, "Ah, it's been a long time."

"Yes, it's been a long time."

"Yo~ Minato Namikaze, long time no see. We won't lose this time, you bastard, you idiot!" Killer Bee greeted him in his own unique way.

"Smack!"

Ai smacked Killer Bee on the head. "Beetle, what did I tell you? Be polite, and stop your verbal tics!"

"You idiot, you moron, that's rap! You wouldn't understand!"

Ai's face darkened, and he was about to give his younger brother a good talking-to when Minato quickly stopped him, "It's alright, it's alright, let me take you to rest first."

Even in front of outsiders, Ai still gave Killer Bee some face.

After the personnel were arranged.

Shika first used a shadow clone to notify Hatake Sakumo and Tsunade.

Why didn't you inform Kakashi Hatake and Nawaki?

That's because those two kids really know how to run away!

The next morning.

Inside the conference room of the Hokage Building.

The peace agreement between Kumogakure and Konoha was signed very smoothly.

The ninjas of Kumogakure were law-abiding and had no intention of causing trouble.

This put Lu Shi at ease.

That makes sense. Konoha is already this strong. If Kumogakure still dares to try and cause trouble like in the original story, wouldn't they be courting death? The peace agreement was signed and ended at a glance.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning coughed and said, "Shikatoki-kun, Minato-kun, this is my daughter, Tokugawa Nobuko. Please get to know her."

Minato gave an awkward laugh.

Shika looked at Tokugawa Nobuko.

This girl looks very young, probably around eighteen years old, or even younger.

However, he has a very handsome appearance and a refined demeanor.

The people from the Hidden Cloud Village nearby also knew their daimyo's purpose and had no intention of stopping them, or rather, they were powerless to stop them.

"Shikatoki-kun, Minato-kun, hello. My name is Tokugawa Nobuko. It's a pleasure to meet you." Tokugawa Nobuko's voice was gentle and pleasant, clearly that of a lady from a respectable family.

"Let me tell you, Nobuko is my most prized daughter, she—"

Seeing that the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was about to begin his introduction, Minato frantically winked at Shikatoki. Shikatoki quickly went to the Daimyo's side and said, "Daimyo, may I have a word with you in private?"

They're not here for a blind date.

Although the daimyo of the Land of Lightning had some doubts, he trusted Nara Shikatoki and followed her into another room.

Upon entering the room, Lu Shi went straight to the point.

"Your Excellency, Princess Nobuko is excellent in both appearance and social standing, but to be honest, Minato and I are not young anymore, and we are ten years younger than Princess Nobuko!"

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning scoffed, "So what? My new wife is thirty years younger than me."

Upon hearing this, Shika took a deep breath and continued, "You know that Minato and I are married."

"I know! But it's normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines. I'm about to marry my sixteenth wife."

Lu Shi was getting a little frantic.

It's exhausting to talk to these famous people.

"What I mean is, Princess Nobuko can choose better options."

At this moment, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning realized that Shikatoki and Minato were rejecting him!

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning's expression instantly darkened. "You think my daughter isn't good enough for one of you?"

"No! Absolutely not! I mean, there are better options available."

Lu Shi took out two documents from behind his back.

"We're not rejecting you; we're offering you something better!"

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning was stunned. His anger, which had just risen, vanished instantly. He took the two documents that Shikato handed him and looked at them.

Lu Shi was enthusiastically promoting it from the side.

"Look at this: Kakashi Hatake, son of Sakumo Hatake, disciple of Minato Namikaze, a strong contender for the future Fifth Hokage, and his strength is not to be underestimated. He is about the same age as Princess Nobuko."

"Look at this one, it's even more incredible. Nawaki, the head of the Senju clan, Tsunade's younger brother, Orochimaru's top disciple and one of the Legendary Sannin, is also a strong contender for the future Fifth Hokage."

Lu Shi made the titles of the two people extremely long.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning was dazzled by the sight.

It must be said that although their status and position are not as high as Shikatoki and Minato, they are indeed suitable candidates.

"But I still think you and Minato are the best match."

"Your Excellency, Minato and I are getting old," Shikatoki said earnestly.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning glanced at Shikatoki and said, "No! You look so young, exactly the same as when I saw you a few years ago. Is there some special method you have? Teach me!"

"That's not true. Actually, I'm quite old. I just use a secret technique to keep you from noticing." Lu Shi didn't dare mention Sage Mode at all.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning began to ponder.

Lu Shi immediately pressed his advantage and said...

"Your Excellency, Minato and I are both married. Minato's wife is the head and princess of the Uzumaki clan, and my wife is Tsunade, the princess of the Land of Fire, Akane, the priestess of the Land of Demons, and Pakura, the Scorching Release of Sunagakure."

"These people are no less powerful than Princess Nobuko, so it is difficult for Princess Nobuko to take the initiative."

"But Kakashi and Nawaki are different; neither of them has a girlfriend, you know!"

Shikatoki's words moved the daimyo of the Land of Lightning.

Why did he insist on marrying one of these two people?

That's because as long as these two are there, Konoha's strength is absolutely beyond the norm.

If one day Konoha attacks Kumogakure.

He didn't care about the fate of the Hidden Cloud Village, but he had to consider his own safety.

But as Nara Shikatoki said, their wives were no less powerful than Nobuko.

At that point, Nobuko won't have much of a say.

But choosing Rope Tree and Kakashi is different.

One was Minato Namikaze's apprentice, and the other was Shikatoki Nara's brother-in-law; in some ways, they were indeed better candidates.

Thinking of this, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning smiled again, "Shikatoki-kun, you and Minato-kun are really thoughtful."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shi knew it was all settled!

"It is our duty to share the burden of the Daimyo. Nawaki and Kakashi are already prepared. I will take Princess Nobuko to meet them."

"Excellent! Excellent!"

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning was even happier to hear that Shika had already made arrangements.

"If only you and Minato were ninjas from Kumogakure! Sigh~! I really envy that Daimyo of the Land of Fire."

The two returned to the meeting room.

Shika gave Minato a reassuring look.

Minato breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Tokugawa Nobuko was also curious about what Shikatoki had said to her father, but this was not the time to ask that question.

Lu coughed once.

This was the pre-arranged code between him and Minato. Minato stood up and said, "Let's call it a day. I'll arrange for someone to show Lord Daimyo and everyone from Kumogakure to have some fun. As for Princess Nobuko, we've already made arrangements for her."

Tokugawa Nobuko looked at her father.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning nodded. "Don't worry, Shikatoshi-kun and Minato-kun are both people I approve of. You'd better do your best."
