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

Ino pretended to sigh, picked up the glass again and drank it down.

At this time, Ino had received enough information and did not dare to delay any longer.

Pretending to be dizzy, he leaned over the table.

Then he quietly lifted the mind-turning technique and returned to his true body.

-

In the afternoon, Nara Shikaku summoned all the Konoha personnel of this team to discuss in the room.

"After cross-checking intelligence from multiple sources, it is basically confirmed that the Hidden Mist Village is currently facing severe turmoil."

Nara Shikaku said.

"Didn't you already know this kind of thing?"

Uzumaki Naruto asked in confusion.

"After collecting intelligence in the morning and contacting the Kirigakure rebels, we can basically confirm that Kirigakure Village is about to usher in a new coup.

"The leader of the coup is most likely a person named Terumi Mei."

After getting the signal, Shikamaru reported to everyone.

Hearing this name again, Sasuke couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

It seems that the statement of the senior netizens is indeed not groundless.

"This is basically consistent with what I learned from Dad Dazuna yesterday." Nara Shikaku said, "For us, such a chaotic situation has made an originally simple task more complicated."

"What do you mean?"

Naruto said confused.

"We are currently faced with three options."

Shikaku explained to everyone: "The first, and most common approach, is to go to the Kirigakure Ninja Village in the Land of Water as originally planned and pay homage to the Fourth Mizukage.

"With the beheading sword as a gift, and the background of Konoha Village's official mission, the other party will naturally treat us with courtesy. Our mission can be completed smoothly."

"Isn't this enough?"

Uzumaki Naruto nodded, touched his chin, and imitated Nara Shikaku's expression of deep thought.

"However, this completion is purely cosmetic. You must know that the fundamental purpose of our mission is to achieve phased diplomatic results."

Nara Shikaku said.

"According to this plan, although we can all go home, if we leave, the Fourth Mizukage will really be overthrown by the other party in this coup.

"Then, any diplomatic results we have achieved with him will probably be in vain! And this trip will be meaningless!"

"I see."

Uzumaki Naruto suddenly realized.

"The second approach is the safest. That is to stay and wait in the Country of Waves.

“After the turmoil in Kirigakure Village comes to an end, whether the rebellion is successfully countered or a new regime comes to power, we can go on a mission in the name of celebration.

"By then, after the storm, Kirigakure Village will be in urgent need of diplomatic results to maintain and consolidate the stability of its rule.

"At that time, if the situation dictates that the other party wants something from me, it will be the best time for us to obtain the greatest benefits for Konoha!"

"I agree with this. It's a good idea to rest while you wait! It just so happens that we can spend a few more days in the Land of Waves. I heard that there are all kinds of magical animals in the mangroves."

Yamanaka Ino teased.

Shikamaru said: "It's just that I don't know how long this coup will last. If it continues to be chaotic, do we have to wait forever in the Land of Waves?"

Lu Jiu nodded and acknowledged: "You are right, although this plan is stable, it is too passive.

"You know, chaos is both trouble and opportunity!"

Nara Shikaku raised his voice slightly and said loudly: "So, our third option is to take the initiative!"

Yes, Sasuke nodded secretly.

As netizens suggested, help Terumi Mei and support her becoming the Fifth Mizukage.

".Help the Fourth Mizukage to suppress this rebellion!"

"Yes! Huh?"

Chapter 108 Infiltration

Sasuke didn't change it in one breath.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a cautious tone: "Uncle Nara, since you took the initiative, why didn't you choose to help Terumi Mei?"

Support the rebellion?

Shikaku glanced at Sasuke and cursed in his heart: What kind of fine tradition of the Uchiha family is this.

But he said calmly: "Theoretically, both sides can be the targets of our bets.

"But as a diplomatic team representing Konoha, all our actions symbolize Konoha's will. So, we actually have no choice.

“Help the Fourth Mizukage, we are a responsible big country that cares about peace and maintains regional stability.

"But by helping Terumi Mei, we will become a hegemonic country that interferes in the internal affairs of other countries and even conspires to subvert other countries' regimes. By then, there will definitely be a big fuss in the world by other people with ulterior motives."

"."

"What if we are not official representatives?"

After everyone was silent for a while, Hyuga Neji was the first to speak and asked.

Nara Shikaku glanced at Neji with slight surprise.

I applauded in my heart, but I didn't expect that this boy who was not part of the plan could actually think of this.

"That's right! As for Terumi Mei's side. If we want to exert influence on Konoha, we must contact it secretly or even privately. It is definitely not a battle like this!"

“So, the third option is to split the current team and go to the Kingdom of Water in small groups to have close contact with Terumi Mei and others.

"Judge its strength and wait for the opportunity to act!"

This is also the most preferred choice in Lu Jiu's heart.

As the leader of Konoha's official diplomatic team, his only choice was to wait or help the Fourth Mizukage.

But as a member of Konoha's decision-making team, he was very aware of the Fourth Mizukage's avoidance and repetition in the diplomatic field in the past few years.

In Shikaku's view, the Fourth Mizukage was not a qualified negotiation partner, nor was he a qualified leader.

In previous contacts, Shikaku discovered that this person's diplomatic style did not put the interests of the Kingdom of Water first, and his behavior was treacherous and elusive.

Therefore, when the Fifth Hokage assigned him the mission of this visit, Shikaku was originally relatively pessimistic.

He knew very well that the Fourth Mizukage was incompetent.

However, the Fifth Hokage's idealism and his belief that everything should be tried pushed Shikaku to this place.

At this time, the emergence of information about Terumi Mei and others is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Shikaku.

"The civil war in Water Country continues, and the political and legal system is harsh. There is no endorsement from Konoha's official team, and there is no show of goodwill from the beheading sword.

"This vanguard team goes deep into it. The danger is self-evident."

Everyone was silent.

"At the same time, the mission objectives they undertake are also very complex. They are not the simple protection or killing of the past. They require strong on-the-spot judgment capabilities.

“Therefore, this vanguard team needs to have super combat capabilities to deal with possible dangers.

"You also need to have enough brains to deal with Mei Terumi and even more forces. Only the most outstanding ninja can accomplish this."

"There is no doubt that I am the best ninja!"

Uzumaki Naruto said solemnly.

"."

There seemed to be a crow flying across the sky.

Nara Shikaku pretended not to hear and continued: "So, the vanguard this time is composed of two chunin in our team, namely Uchiha Sasuke and Nara Shikamaru!"

"Uncle Shikaku, let me go too! If you need to fight, I can also help."

Hinata Neji was worried and applied earnestly.

"No. The purpose of this infiltration is still to collect intelligence. The more people involved, the more eye-catching it will be. Besides, your white eyes are too eye-catching and are not suitable for infiltration work."

Nara Shikaku responded.

"But."

Ningci wanted to say something, but Shikaku looked at Uchiha Sasuke and said calmly, "Come to think of it, Kimimaro will definitely come along, right?"

He had not forgotten the other purpose of this mission.

After hearing this, Neji stopped insisting.

At present, Kimimaro may not be Konoha's companion, but he must be Sasuke's companion.

If there is a battle, Kimimaro's role must be far greater than his own.

Sasuke nodded.

"What about me?! Are we just going to stay in the Land of Waves? Why should we let this kid take the spotlight?"

Uzumaki Naruto said urgently. Before he could finish his words, he was severely interrupted by Nara Shikaku:

"Naruto! This is not the time for you to be willful! This matter concerns the interests of tens of thousands of villagers and ninjas in Konoha. You can't talk about the limelight!"

After a pause, Nara Shikaku said in a slow tone, "Personally, I like your enthusiasm. But many things in the ninja world cannot be accomplished with just passion. This is especially true in this case."

This combination of soft and hard punches made Naruto not sure how to react.

Nara Shikaku turned his head and continued:

"If there are no objections, we will arrange for you two to set off immediately tomorrow morning. With ten days as the deadline, no matter whether you succeed or not, you must return to the Country of Waves to join us."
