Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

After a pause, Nara Shikamaru continued:

“It is worth mentioning that the two have already reached a considerable sense of belonging and identity with Konoha’s leadership position.

“This is also the key factor in the successful conclusion of this cooperation.

"And, with the inauguration of the Seventh Hokage, the emotions on both sides have reached their peak.

"Under this structure, my personal voice in the Sand Village has also been greatly enhanced."

Nara Shikamaru's words were not meant to flatter Sasuke.

Due to the two previous experiences of fighting together, the Kirigakure tribe and the Sand Village both believed that they had a close comradeship with Sasuke.

And this advantage cannot be replaced by anyone else.

"Thanks a lot."

Uchiha Sasuke turned to Shikamaru, nodded approvingly, and said encouragingly.

"And that's it."

Nara Shikamaru took out a simple-looking thread-bound book from his bosom and handed it to Uchiha Sasuke respectfully, saying:

"Kakuzu-sama, I asked you to say hello.

“He said that the task you assigned to him has been completed.

"He wants to know when he can meet with you for an interview?"

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned.

He looked down and saw seven big words written on the cover of the book - "Kakuzu Ninja World Economics".

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Sasuke's face, and he carefully put the book away.

He said:

"Please let him wait a while.

“If he has any ideas, he can communicate with you directly.

"Now, in the Sand Village, your existence is equivalent to my existence.

"If your judgment is reasonable, you can execute it on the spot in the Sand Village."

"Yes"

Nara Shikamaru nodded silently.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a test tube filled with black liquid from his arms and presented it respectfully to Uchiha Sasuke.

"this is?"

Uchiha Sasuke took the test tube, looked at it carefully, and was confused.

“Well actually, the book was finished a month ago.

"After that, Kakuzu-sama behaved very strangely and was in a state of panic all day.

"Finally, at his strong request, we gave him a five-man ninja team to carry out the so-called 'exploration work' within the territory of the Wind Country."

At this point, Shikamaru also felt that this was a bit too absurd. He looked embarrassed and whispered:

“This is the exploration result he found.

“Although, I don’t quite understand what this thing is for, but Kakuzu-sama is very excited.

"Before leaving, Lord Kakuzu repeatedly stressed that I must show this to you."

"Well?"

Uchiha Sasuke once again raised the test tube in his hand towards the light. As the light scattered, the liquid in the test tube intertwined with different shades of blue, purple, and black.

It seems to contain the secrets of the earth and time.

"Did he say what this thing was called?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked casually.

“He said, this is oil.”

Nara Shikamaru said quietly.

"I see."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded, without thinking too much, and put it away as well.

"Any more?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Nara Shikamaru gently.

I just felt in my heart that sending him to the Sand Village was the right decision.

"And that's it."

Nara Shikamaru thought for a moment and continued:

"I haven't made much progress yet on the secret of the fourth scroll of the Red Sand Scorpion that you asked me to investigate.

"Granny Chiyo always carried the stick with her. Her daily routine was just shopping, cooking, fishing, and taking walks. Her behavior was not unusual, and she did not come into contact with anyone suspicious.

“What I’m asking is, is there any need for further action?

"Or, add more manpower to conduct some visits and research on the files?"

Uchiha Sasuke nodded silently.

To be honest, he had almost forgotten about this matter.

Sasuke had too many things on his mind at this moment.

In that split second, Uchiha Sasuke spoke:

"Let's do this for now. Just keep one eye on them."

"it is good."

Nara Shikamaru nodded, sorted out the documents in front of him, and said:

"I don't have anything else to do here."

"it is good."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded, then a friendly smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly:

"So, Senior Hou Jie, you..."

"I just have one thing to say."

The cunning monkey said unhappily:

“Can you please not let me attend this boring meeting?

"Like before, can you call me when you have something to do?"

"No."

Listening to Hou Jie's complaints, Uchiha Sasuke's smile became even wider.

He just shook his head and said calmly:

"After becoming Hokage, many of the problems I will face are systematic and interrelated.

"As a staff member, if you don't have control over the overall situation.

"I'm afraid it will directly affect the adaptability of your decision-making."

"Humph."

The cunning monkey turned his head away disapprovingly.

Although, it itself is not bound by Konoha's identity.

But as a summoning beast that had signed a powerful contract, the cunning monkey could do nothing in the face of Uchiha Sasuke's request.

At this point, everyone has finished their speeches.

Uchiha Sasuke glanced around and said calmly:

“So, finally.

"I have something to say, too."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but perk up and prepare to listen to Sasuke "have a few more simple words".

"According to accurate intelligence."

Uchiha Sasuke said:

"Akatsuki will launch a full-scale invasion war against Konoha.

"We only have about five days left."

"!"

"!!"

"!!!"

The calm words were like a thunderbolt, exploding completely in everyone's hearts.

-

March 28th, the sixty-sixth year of Konoha.

On the first day after the seventh Hokage Uchiha Sasuke took office, Konoha held a mobilization meeting.

The strategic movements of the Akatsuki organization were reported to the elite jonin and even the heads of the major families, and the sharing and knowledge of enemy capabilities intelligence were once again emphasized.

Compared with the past, the three new participants include Hyuga Neji, Kimimaro, and Uzumaki Naruto.

It is worth mentioning that the Hyuga clan was not invited to participate in this meeting.

March 29th.

The seventh Hokage, Uchiha Sasuke, personally visited the Konohagakure's barrier perception network and intelligence exchange system.

Accompanied by Yamanaka Ino and Yamanaka Ino, a simulated drill was conducted on the procedures for enemy attack alert.
