"Shikamaru, you take care of the editing.

"Learn more from Teacher Xiao Wu."

"Yes."

Nara Shikamaru nodded.

"Somebody come!"

Uchiha Sasuke raised his voice again, and outside the door, he pushed the door open with his feet in unison.

Sasuke said softly:

"Accompany Mr. Xiaowu around Konoha. If there are any expenses, please put them on my personal account."

“How embarrassing.”

Without waiting for Xiao Wu to react, he rushed into the house and half-carried and half-invited him away.

Watching the two people leave, the smile on Uchiha Sasuke's lips gradually faded.

He turned around and said to Nara Shikamaru seriously:

“What happened today is just the beginning.

"I want you to keep the following points in mind."

Seeing that Shikamaru had regained his spirits, Uchiha Sasuke continued:

“First, we must firmly grasp the right to interpret this war from the very beginning.

“Images, news, announcements, press releases.

“These are all important means of grasping the justice of war.

“The death of Uncle Shikaku two years ago dealt a heavy blow to Kumogakure, which is why this war was delayed for such a long time.

“And the deaths of Tutai and others should be used for our benefit.

"That Xiao Wu just now is the bullet I gave you."

"Yes!"

Nara Shikamaru understood immediately and nodded seriously.

In my mind, I have already started to draft the relevant plan.

"Secondly, a mere Kumogakure delegation cannot even begin to avenge Shikaku."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly:

"That day, on that night in the Frost Kingdom, I still remember what you said to me. Now, please remember it too.

"Now, after the falling out, what awaits all of us is a fight to the death."

Shikamaru was solemn. The pleasure and exhaustion in his heart gradually subsided again after hearing Sasuke's words.

Yes, revenge for my mother may be over.

But for me, this revenge has just begun.

“It’s the same as lighting a fuse, but for some people, it brings a firework to the world.

“And some of them are just arson.

"The difference lies in whether the subsequent preparations are complete."

Uchiha Sasuke's calm words continued.

In response, Nara Shikamaru looked directly into the Hokage's eyes and nodded solemnly.

"third."

Uchiha Sasuke continued:

“Revenge is a big deal for the Nara clan.

"But it's not enough to support my actions as Hokage.

"It can be the trigger, it can be the first cause, it can even be the main cause, but it can never be the root cause."

On the other side, Shikamaru couldn't help but show a confused expression.

"Give me a better reason."

Uchiha Sasuke said seriously:

“Liberate the civilians and ninjas of Kumogakure;

"The Raikage is secretly colluding with the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, trying to restore and overthrow the status quo of our Fire Nation;

“To resolve potential disputes once and for all.

“Whatever, anyway.

"I want the power of the majority, all united here."

This time, Shikamaru understood what Sasuke meant, but an even more confused expression appeared on his face.

"If you have any questions, please ask them all at once."

After noticing Shikamaru's strangeness, Uchiha Sasuke said calmly:

"I'm afraid we'll be getting busier and busier in the days ahead."

"Nothing, just"

Shikamaru hesitated.

After what happened today, when Nara Shikamaru faced Sasuke again, he no longer had the previous suspicion or deliberate alienation in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally said:

“I just think it’s a little weird.

“At first, I thought you would be like the Uchiha clan in the rumors, a guy who is superstitious about power.

"Once they have accumulated enough power, they will be eager to start their own hegemony. They will plunder the tailed beasts and invade other countries."

“This is overbearing.”

Uchiha Sasuke nodded.

"good."

Nara Shikamaru also pretended to be chatting and said lightly:

"But in the Frost Kingdom, you are not allowed to let anyone go alive. You are so cautious just to avoid war.

“After that, I started to figure out your thoughts.

“Personally, I think you want to use the power of the tailed beasts to further develop the economy and people’s livelihood of our Wind and Fire countries at a faster pace than in the past.

"By improving the lives of ninjas and civilians, the name of the Hokage will be known far and wide.

"By then, civilians and ninjas will be attracted by the promise of a better life and will voluntarily come under the rule of our Konoha."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded silently again and summarized for the other party:

“This is the kingly way.”

“However, what puzzles me most is the whole process.

"Your methods seem to be somewhat..."

Nara Shikamaru was a little embarrassed to speak.

"Not too glorious?"

Uchiha Sasuke smiled slightly and said:

“When facing the enemy, all we have to consider is the cost-effectiveness of our actions.

“The art of deception is twice as effective as the work done with half the effort.

"I did have a good teacher on this road."

"So, what exactly are you holding on to?"

Nara Shikamaru asked frankly:

"The kingly way? The overbearing way?

"Or is it the way of deception?"

Chapter 432 The Art of Editing

"neither."

Uchiha Sasuke shook his head and said calmly:

“The kingly way is for the world to see.

“Domineering is the trump card to break the situation.

“As for the trickery, it’s just a way of doing things.

“To me, these are just tools and means to achieve that ultimate goal.”

"so."

"Haven't I been emphasizing this to you all the time?"

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly:

“My purpose has never been concealed.

"I want to personally end all wars and bring long-term stability and peace to the ninja world.

“Also, we should put people first, give everyone a fair chance to develop, and create a new world where everyone is equal.”

I saw him looking into the distance with sparkling eyes, and there was a sincere light flashing in his eyes.

It’s as if I’ve really seen that world.
