Chapter 329 The remnants of the old era

Chapter 329 The remnants of the old era

"Okay."

Xia Li also showed a satisfied smile. Konoha is really full of talents now, so there is no need to worry too much.

At this moment, Xia Li suddenly remembered that Sasuke seemed to have just returned from seclusion, and he went straight to the Hokage's office after leaving seclusion, so...

"Sasuke, you just came back, do you still have anything to finish in Konoha?" Xia Li asked.

Sasuke was startled. He originally wanted to answer directly, but after a pause, he said, "I don't have anything to stay longer, but there are some things that I need Uncle Shikaku to inform me about."

"Please tell me." Nara Shikaku was obviously startled, because they usually had very little contact, and the contact they had was due to work handover. At that time, Nara Shikaku was the Hokage's secretary, and Sasuke was the ANBU minister, so everything was Business is business.

Now, what Sasuke wanted to ask for was probably a private matter, so he didn't call him official anymore, but Nara Shikaku didn't expect that the other party would call him uncle.

However, I have to say that it feels really good to be called uncle by an Uchiha genius. Sasuke is indeed different from other Uchiha, Nara Shikaku was thinking at this time.

However, Xia Li didn't find it strange at all. Sasuke was more polite than Naruto, but there were times when he didn't want to. For example, he rarely called Kakashi sensei. He usually called Kakashi by his first name, but he could call Kakashi by name. Iruka is a teacher...

However, it cannot be said that the relationship between Sasuke and Kakashi is not as good as that between Iruka and Sasuke, or that they are used to it. In fact, Sasuke will still call him teacher if it is necessary in a formal occasion.

Sasuke first said, "The Anbu matter had been arranged before I went into seclusion. Just let them continue to implement it, as if I was continuing to go into seclusion."

"Okay." Nara Shikaku nodded. This really should be informed, but Sasuke reminded him. After all, he usually does not manage the ANBU. The ANBU is managed by Sasuke and Xia Li.

"In addition, I would like to ask Uncle Shikaku to help me inform Jugo, Xiang Rin and...Sakura about my departure from seclusion to go to the Five Kage Conference." Sasuke said, his voice paused, and he added Sakura.

After all, both Jugo and Xiang Rin were brought back to Konoha by Sasuke, so he should notify them of his temporary departure from Konoha.

And Sakura... is too persistent. To be honest, Sasuke doesn't understand why the other party is so obsessed with him. Is it really just because of his appearance? That would be too superficial, but other Sasuke couldn't figure out the reason, but he still informed him.

"Okay." Nara Shikaku nodded and smiled, and then felt a little sad. It seemed that both Naruto and Sasuke had a partner, but that boy Shikamaru didn't seem to have a suitable partner yet...
< br>

Nara Shikaku suddenly felt that he would have to push Shikamaru more in the future.

At this time, Nara Shikaku couldn't help but look at Xia Li. He remembered that Xia Li had already matched several couples with his methods. Could he also learn from it? But in order to do so, he seemed to have to know who Shikamaru's favorite partner was. It's all right, if not, it's all in vain.

Xia Li also seemed to see what Nara Shikaku was thinking, and quietly reminded him, "Actually, it doesn't have to be from this village. For example, Suna Ninja Village has a very good relationship with our Konoha."
< br>

"Huh? It seems... yes." Nara Shikaku replied subconsciously, and then his mind suddenly became more open. Then he paused, looked at each other with Xia Li, and smiled at each other.

Xia Li could only remind him so far. After all, Shikamaru and Temari were quite fond of him. Unfortunately, under his leadership, there seemed to be a lot of connections between Konoha and Suna Ninja.

It's just that in the original work, Konoha and Suna Ninja help each other, but now it's mostly Suna Ninja who asks for Konoha's support, so whether it can succeed in the future depends on how Nara Shikaku arranges it.

Thinking of his reminder, Shikamaru would probably often appear in the team supporting Suna Ninja, right? Although it may be after the Fourth World War, it doesn't matter. Those who are destined to do so can still succeed.

"Is everything arranged?" Xia Li looked at Sasuke.

After getting an affirmative answer, Xia Li nodded, and then thought about it. He probably needed to dress more formally for this Five Shadows Talk, but the scroll was still with him.

Just as Xia Li was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared in the Hokage's office. After a closer look, it was the moon elf with a scroll in his mouth.

"How did you get it from there, little guy?" Xia Li was a little surprised. He was still practicing and didn't notice the movement of the Moon Elf. As a result, the other party had already taken out the scroll and used Flying Thunder God to return. This way.

The Moon Elf blinked and did not answer. He jumped onto Xia Li's shoulder and handed the scroll to Xia Li.

After taking the scroll, Xia Li didn't ask the moon elf any more questions. He skillfully took out the god-controlling uniform and pinned the hat representing Hokage to his waist.

It's not surprising that the moon elf can feel his thoughts. The moon elf can't speak, but Xia Li can also detect what the other person wants to express every time, so this connection has long existed. It's just not as close as him and me.

After preparing everything, Xia Li took the lead and said, "Then, let's go."

"Yes!" Sasuke and Naruto responded and followed Xia Li.

Kakashi and Nara Shikaku couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene. The three people in front of them were the hope of their Konoha era, so dazzling and powerful.

It's really reassuring.

Moreover, Kakashi felt the most deeply when he saw this scene. After all, he had seen such a handsome back of his teacher before. Now looking at Xia Li, he couldn't help but see his teacher's back in him, so handsome and handsome. powerful.

…………

After leaving Konoha for a while.

Naruto asked, "Xia Li, didn't you leave the Flying Thunder God in the Kingdom of Iron? Can't you just use the Flying Thunder God to get there?"

"Of course there is." Xia Li replied. In fact, Xia Li's Flying Thunder God mark is found in all countries, even in some deserted places.

"Then why don't we just use the Flying Thunder God to rush to the Iron Kingdom?" Naruto was a little confused.

"Of course we have to give some people some opportunities." Xia Li replied.

Naruto became more and more confused as he listened, but Sasuke nodded secretly, understood, and became slightly wary.

"Don't be so nervous, they're just minions. They don't dare to jump out at ordinary times." Xia Li also noticed Sasuke's movements and said.

This time the Five Shadows meeting is not a secret. Basically, people from some channels can get the news, so there will probably be some beings who have always been hostile to Konoha who will ambush Konoha on the road to the Iron Kingdom.

Normally, Xia Li, as the Hokage, is always inside Konoha and they have no chance, so now this opportunity is probably considered by them to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In fact, this is probably related to the fact that Xia Li didn't take action for a long time, which led to Xia Li's strength being somewhat underestimated.

If one knew the strength of Xia Li and the others, they would not dare to ambush them even if they were given hundreds of courages. There were not many people who were willing to die.

"Besides, there is no need to be so anxious. As the only village that has not lost its tailed beast, we also need to consider how they will target us." Xia Li said with a smile.

"Will they target us?" Naruto's eyes widened.

"Of course I will, Naruto, you can believe in yourself and your ability to change other people, but don't think everyone is so beautiful." Xia Li replied. In fact, he felt that it was difficult to change others. , but considering that the person in front of him is Naruto, who is invincible with his talk, so it's probably no problem.

Naruto was silent, his brain wasn't strong enough for him to figure out why quickly.

At this time, Sasuke held the sword in his hand, and he had already noticed something.

Then Sasuke saw Xia Li nodded quietly to him, and the next moment, Sasuke's figure disappeared behind Xia Li.

Naruto also reacted at this time, and just as he was about to take action, Xia Li stopped him, because Sasuke alone was enough.

Soon, those people didn't even have a chance to take action, and they fell to the ground one after another from the ambush tree. Each corpse was as natural as a leaf falling from the tree.

But there is one difference. Fallen leaves must return to their roots, but these corpses no longer have this possibility.

"Who are these people?" Naruto probably understood what Xia Li said before.

"It's probably the remnants of some small countries that were wiped out before." Xia Li thought for a while and said.

"Genbu? Didn't you eradicate Xia Li at Genbu? Why did they want to assassinate you..." Naruto didn't understand.

"It stands to reason that this is the case, but no matter what, the root is still a member of Konoha, and as the leader of Konoha, it is not a big problem to put all the blame on the Hokage." Xia Li said .

"Why is this..." According to Naruto's feeling, it was the person named Danzo who harmed them, and Xia Li was the one who killed Danzo. Based on Naruto's simple understanding, Xia Li can still be counted among them. benefactor.

In fact, it is not that no one regards Xia Li as a benefactor. The reason why Xia Li knows that there will be no peace on this journey is because those people informed Konoha in advance. Therefore, Xia Li also wanted to deal with these guys along the way.

According to Xia Li's own understanding, he was definitely not the benefactor of these people. After all, no one would believe that Genbe acted without the consent of the Hokage, and the Hokage represented Konoha.

It can only be said that these people probably know that revenge is hopeless. If someone can kill Danzo for them, it is the best result. After these people complete their 'revenge', they will probably abandon their past identities and start Have a new life.

Soon, Sasuke returned behind Xia Li, who looked at the corpse that was still burning like fallen leaves.

This kind of corpse cannot be left alone, so burning it is the best solution.

At this moment, Xia Li also sighed a little, life in this world is really worthless.

After completing all this, Sasuke didn't react much and watched everything silently. He also heard the conversation between Xia Li and Naruto.

Sasuke feels that it is right to want revenge, but if you don't consider the strength gap between yourself and the other party, then it is not revenge, it is just sending death, just like now...

"Okay, let's keep walking." Xia Li said.

Along the way, Xia Li encountered quite a few remnants, which surprised Xia Li. How many bad things had he done at the root?

However, in the end, those people seemed to be completely frightened. They just watched Xia Li and the others leave step by step from a distance, with no idea of ​​taking action...

Perhaps, starting from today, these people who have not taken action will completely give up all their previous ideas. With people like them, it is still too difficult to go against the Great Ninja Village.

It didn't take long for Xia Li to bring Naruto and Sasuke to the Kingdom of Iron.

Looking at the snowflakes falling in the sky, Xia Li also felt a little nostalgic. He had visited the Kingdom of Iron several times during his Anbu period.

"Naruto, if there are other shadows attacking us with words during the meeting, you don't have to worry, let alone fight back. You just need to watch calmly." At this time, Xia Li also made arrangements.

Regarding Sasuke, Xia Li doesn't need to worry, but Naruto, Xia Li always feels that if he doesn't say it in advance, Naruto will probably be able to cause a five-kage meeting. In this case, although Xia Li is not worried about what will happen to Naruto , they don’t have that strength yet, but it’s not very good anyway.

"Don't worry, Xia Li, I will definitely restrain myself!" Naruto said and gave a thumbs up.

However, Xia Li was still not at ease with Naruto and looked at Sasuke quietly, and Sasuke nodded, indicating that he would look at Naruto.

Xia Li nodded, and then walked the last part of the journey and came to a snowy 'castle'.

"Welcome to you, Hokage-sama." The samurai captain standing in front of the castle saw Xia Li and the others, especially after looking at Xia Li's face, he immediately bowed and said, naturally they had already obtained all the shadows' faces. picture.

Sasuke also handed the document to the samurai captain at this time. After the other party checked that there was no problem, he let the people behind him pass. As the leader, he naturally had to lead the way for Xia Li and the others.

"Have the other shadows arrived?" Xia Li followed the warrior captain and asked.

"Back to Hokage-sama, everyone has arrived." The samurai captain replied.

"Can you tell me the order of their arrival?" Xia Li was not surprised. After all, he had waited for Sasuke for so long and did not use the Flying Thunder God. Although he was not late, the time for the start of the meeting was very close.

"Yes, the Kazekage-sama arrived first, followed by the Raikage-sama, the Mizukage-sama and the Tsuchikage-sama respectively." The samurai captain replied. These questions do not involve any secrets, so they can naturally be discussed.

"Gaara? Long time no see." Naruto's eyes lit up at this time and he said.

Xia Li wasn't too surprised after hearing this. In fact, the people farthest away were the Sand Ninjas, but they were the first to arrive, which also shows how much they attach importance to this Five Shadows Talk.

Moreover, since the strength of the Sand Ninja has been reduced too much now, they have to show their attitude.

As for Lei Ying, he is the convener of this Five Shadows Talk, so naturally he will not be as late as Xia Li.

The last Tsuchikage, well, if Xia Li was late because her mother-in-law gave birth, then the Tsuchikage probably...has trouble with his legs and feet? After all, he is an old man and needs to take stock.

"In such an occasion, when you see Gaara, it is best to call him Kazekage instead of Gaara." Xia Li reminded Naruto at this time.

"Why? Didn't I always call Gaara before?" Naruto asked subconsciously.

"If you call me Gaara, what do you call the other shadows?" Xia Li asked in return.

"Of course..." Naruto didn't say anything, he seemed to have figured it out.

Xia Li didn't say anything more. After all, he couldn't let Naruto say whatever he wanted. Gaara probably didn't care much, but what about the other Kages? Will he look down on Gaara?

There is no problem for Xia Li to call Gaara by his name. After all, they are of the same level in terms of status, so Xia Li calling Gaara by his name can also reflect the close relationship between Konoha and Sand Ninja.

But Naruto is a subordinate, and it is not very good to directly call the Kazekage by his name. Unless he treats everyone equally, Naruto also calls other Kage's names. Unfortunately, Naruto doesn't know the names of other Kage.

"So, be patient for a little bit, and you can call me whatever you want after we talk." Xia Li said.

"Okay, then Xia Li, should I also call you Hokage-sama?" Naruto asked.

"Yes." Xia Li nodded.

Naruto nodded, indicating that he understood. At this time, he had a headache. It felt like there were twists and turns in it. It was so troublesome. If he became the Hokage, would he still have a headache?

Thinking of this, Naruto suddenly felt a little timid about the Hokage's position, then he paused and patted his face with both hands. What was he thinking?

He will definitely be able to overcome this small difficulty, and he will definitely be able to defeat Sasuke and become the last Hokage!

Soon, the samurai captain led them to a conference room, stood beside it, and opened the door for Xia Li and the others. Obviously, this was the meeting room, and the samurai captain would not go in.

"Thank you for your hard work," Xia Li said.

"It's not hard, it's my duty." The warrior captain was startled, and then said immediately.

Then, Xia Li took Naruto and the two of them into the conference room.

Inside the conference room, there is a very large U-shaped table. If you look at it clockwise, the people sitting there are...

Mizukage Terumi Mei.

Kazekage Gaara.

Tsuchikage Ohnoki.

Raikage Ai.

The vacant seat is naturally the position of the Hokage, which is also the top of the U-shaped table and between the Kazekage and the Tsuchikage. It can be said that from this seat, the Hokage is also in the absolute C position.

This arrangement is naturally the 'routine' left by the First Hokage.

Behind each figure are two ninja guards. Behind Gaara are naturally Kankuro and Temari, who they are familiar with. As for the other people, Xia Li... I can't remember him clearly, and not everyone will remember him. .

There is also a small table inside the U-shaped table, and sitting there is the samurai leader of the Iron Kingdom, Mifune, who is presiding over the Five Kage Talks this time.

Mifune was naturally protected by two samurai behind him.

Xia Li walked to his own place and sat down, while Naruto and Sasuke also came behind Xia Li.

At this moment, all the participants in the Five Shadows Talk finally came to the stage.

"Has the Hokage arrived just in time?"

At this time, Tsuchikage Onoki suddenly said, another translation in time is pinch, it is obvious that the person who came is not good.
