I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 190: The Five-Tail Meeting!

Chapter 190 The Five-Tailed Meeting! (Fourth update, 1.4 words, please vote!)

Hokage Building, inside Konoha Village.

Nara Rin followed behind the old clan leader, heading together to the Hokage's office on the top floor.

Driven by his long-cherished dream of obtaining the Five-Tails, retired veteran Nara Kano made no hesitation in returning to the workforce.

"Lan Gui, my hopes for the rest of my life rest entirely on you!"

Nara Shikano stood at the door of the Hokage's office and spoke with heartfelt sincerity.

"Just go ahead and do your thing, I'll figure out how to fix it."

For the past three days, Nara Kano has been engaged in a fierce verbal battle with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But even after the old clan chief had talked himself hoarse, he still couldn't get Hiruzen Sarutobi to agree to hand over the Five-Tails to the Nara clan.

In the end, it was still necessary to hold this "five-tail distribution meeting" that had almost no practical significance.

Nara Kano has finally understood.

In this cold and ruthless ninja world, the Will of Fire is all nonsense.

Ultimately, it all comes down to force!

If the Nara clan wants to take the Five-Tails from the Third Hokage, they will have to rely on sheer strength!

"Chief, please don't say things that are easy to misunderstand."

Nara Rinka glanced helplessly at the old clan chief, who had said the same thing countless times along the way.

The old clan chief wasn't tired of talking, but Nara Rinka was.

"Let's go in."

Nara Shikano took a deep breath, stepped forward, and knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.

After a response comes from within.

The two members of the Nara clan then entered the Hokage's office one after the other.

Inside the Hokage's small office, five people were already waiting.

Apart from Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is always there.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, two village elders, stood on either side of the Third Hokage.

Minato Namikaze, his face expressionless, nodded slightly to the two men behind him as Nara Rinka and Nara Kano arrived.

Hidden in the shadows of the Hokage's office is no longer the elite ANBU of yesteryear, but the resurrected Uchiha Kagami.

With the arrival of the two members of the Nara clan, all seven people gathered in the Hokage's office.

With the doors closing, the so-called "Five-Tail Distribution Meeting" officially commenced.

"Cough cough."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, sitting behind the Hokage's desk, coughed twice and began to chair the meeting.

"Everyone knows the reason for this meeting: to deal with the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure and the Five-Tails inside him."

"Minato and Lan Gui were key players in the battle to subdue the Five-Tails, so you two are hereby specially approved to participate in this meeting."

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Minato Namikaze's lips twitched slightly.

Was he also a key player in that battle?

When he arrived at the battlefield, the fighting was almost over!

"cough!"

Nara Kano coughed heavily, his eyes gesturing towards "his hopes for the rest of his life."

Receiving a look from the old clan chief, Nara Rinka decisively spoke up.

"Lord Hokage."

Nara Rangke appeared respectful, but in reality, he was going all out.

"Didn't you read the previous Iwagakure battlefield report?"

"Or is it that you just praised him as the 'Dark Shadow of Konoha' a couple of days ago, and now you've already forgotten how you earned that title?"

"Or perhaps you have absolutely no idea how the Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) frontline troops deployed within the Land of Grass were defeated and annihilated?"

Master Men was a key player in the previous Iwagakure frontline war.

The number of Rashomon gates summoned by Orochimaru is more than the amount of sweat shed by the gatekeeper!

However, it is clear that Nara Rinka's honest words were not immediately accepted by everyone.

Even the old clan chief himself hadn't expected Nara Rinka to be so aggressive.

"Great news...great news!"

Nara Kano was very satisfied.

"Our Nara clan has finally produced a super ninja with both temperament and strength!"

"Nara Langui!"

Standing behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado spoke angrily, glaring at the disrespectful special jonin.

"Is this how you talk to the Hokage?"

Nara Rinka frowned and glanced sideways.

"Who are you?"

"I--"

Those two short words made Mitokado Yan's neck flush red, and his voice instantly rose two notches.

"I am Mitokado Homura! Hokage's advisor!"

"Who?"

Nara Rangsei's response this time was even shorter.

But its destructive and satirical power has become even stronger.

Mitomon was so angry that his beard trembled, and he completely lost his voice.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone.

"Nara Langui!"

Xiaochun, who was switching dorms on the other side, took over the conversation.

"Whether it's the Hokage or the advisors, they are all experienced elders."

"It is because of the contributions of us elders that the village has become what it is today."

"Young man, don't think that just because you've made a name for yourself on the battlefield, you can disrespect the elders in the village!"

"I'm sorry, ma'am."

Nara Rinka tilted her head, feigning confusion.

"And who are you?"

"You sharp-tongued brat!"

Koharu clenched her fists slightly and said with a forced smile.

"Koharu Utatane, Hokage Advisor."

"Oh, another consultant."

Nara Rinka drew out his words and then pressed for an answer.

"So, may I ask this elderly consultant, what have you, as consultants, contributed to the village?"

Koharu Utatane coldly replied, "The advisor's duty is to serve as the Hokage's strategist and provide advice on various decisions made by the village."

"The Hokage's advisor?"

Nara raised an eyebrow.

"How does it compare to the class representative of the Jonin?"

Xiaochun was stumped when she was asked the question during her dormitory change.

Even if you doubled her IQ, she still wouldn't dare to compete with Nara Kano in terms of brains!

"in addition."

Nara Rinka continued to press for answers.

"The Hokage's advisor, as the name suggests, is someone who offers advice and strategies to the Hokage."

"Then why did you two jump out one after the other before the Third Hokage even spoke up?"

"Oh... so it's because you two don't take the Third Hokage seriously."

you fart!

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu both silently cursed in their hearts.

After Nara Rinkazu finished speaking, the Hokage's office became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The old patriarch stood there with his eyes downcast and his nose facing down, leaving the stage entirely to the younger generation of the family;

Minato Namikaze frowned slightly. Although he disliked Nara Rinkazu's sharp attitude, he also disliked the way the two advisors spoke, relying on their seniority.

As for Uchiha Kagami, who was hiding in the shadows, he was as quiet as a statue.

In this situation, only Hiruzen Sarutobi could take over the conversation.

That's enough.

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the desk surface twice, his expression utterly calm.

"Nara Ranka, this is the Hokage's office, not a marketplace. If you want to talk your way out of things, you can go somewhere else."

"Lord Hokage."

Nara refused to yield an inch in its pursuit of the laurel tree.

"You and I both know what the purpose of this meeting is."

"Since we're discussing the Five-Tails, let's present the facts and reason with each other."

"My first question is, how exactly was the Five-Tails Jinchuriki captured? Is there anyone here who doesn't know?"

"The Five-Tails Jinchuriki..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly.

"They were captured by the combined efforts of the Konoha ninja."

"it is good."

Nara Rangsuke was unwilling to argue too much with the other party on this topic.

"The second question is, what are we planning to do by bringing the Five-Tails Jinchuriki back from Iwagakure?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi replied, "To strengthen our village."

Nara Rinkazu pressed further, "How can we use the Five-Tails Jinchuriki to enhance Konoha's strength?"

"The Five-Tails can be deployed to the battlefield."

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly provided an answer.

"We can study Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and turn Boil Release into the foundation of the village."

"So here's the problem: the village wants both the Five-Tailed Fox and Han."

Nara spreads out his hands, holding the cassia tree.

"Does the village have a way to turn the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure into the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"no."

"Since we can't turn Han into the village's power, we can only choose between the Five-Tails and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. I think a normal person would choose the Five-Tails."

Nara Rinka proactively provided Sarutobi Hiruzen with a complete solution strategy.

"Only by obtaining the power of the Five-Tails as soon as possible can we end the Third Shinobi World War as soon as possible."

"In other words, we need to extract the Five-Tails from Han's body as soon as possible, right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent again, then replied with difficulty, "Yes, but..."

"According to the usual procedure, after extracting the Five-Tails, it needs to be resealed into a new Jinchuriki."

Nara Rinka interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The search for Jinchuriki, the training of Jinchuriki, the adaptation of Jinchuriki to their Tailed Beasts..."

"Has anyone here calculated the time and effort required for this?"

"Do you think we're just young people who only know how to talk?"

Mitokado Homura temporarily revived and inadvertently revealed some information.

"What do you think the village has been doing for the past three days?"

"Looking for a new Jinchūriki for the Five-Tails?"

Nara Lan Gui scoffed.

"Advisor, how long do you think the Third Shinobi World War will last?"

"The Sand Village was at a disadvantage because their puppet army was in dire straits in Kikyo Castle. I captured Ebizo alive."

"Iwagakure was at a disadvantage because their frontline troops were almost completely wiped out in the Land of Grass. I defeated Onoki and captured the Five-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"As for Kumogakure, it is indeed Minato who is holding them off, because the Third Raikage has been fighting against Iwagakure, and none of you can do anything about Kumogakure's AB combination."

"Three battlefields, two with advantages, and one stalemate. The external war situation of Konoha has been reversed!"

"In this situation, you hope to slowly cultivate a Jinchūriki and then help the village achieve victory in the war?"

"I really wonder how you got your consultant position!"

Present the facts, reason with them, and highlight their achievements.

Nara Ranke delivered a truly impressive performance, silencing everyone present.

It was only at this moment that the people present realized what was happening.

This usually low-profile "shadow of darkness" is actually the key figure who turned the tide of the Third Shinobi World War!

"To embrace the laurel."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly, changing his form of address once again as he chose to back down.

"What do you intend to do with the Five-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"We want to turn the Five-Tails into the village's strength as soon as possible, and at the same time, we want to obtain Han's bloodline limit ability."

Nara Rinka answered calmly.

"What if I could solve both of these problems at the same time? Wouldn't everyone here then be speechless?"

"Can you solve both problems at the same time?"

Xiaochun, who had just moved to another room, gave a cold smile.

"Do you think Wuwei is your pet deer?"

"If you're so good, then you do it."

Nara, with its cassia tree in bloom, is not a place to be taken lightly.

"Shut up!"

Served at four o'clock!

Although the cumulative monthly votes are about to break 3,000, it is very likely that they will break 3,000 as soon as I open my eyes tomorrow.

But at least for now.

All the missed updates have been paid!
