For this ministerial position, Sarutobi Kou's performance was not very good at the beginning, it could even be said to be very poor.
She pushed everything to Shikaru Nara who went to help, but she did nothing all day long, and even allowed some people in her family to be arrogant and bully others in the village.
It wasn't until someone in the family attacked Sasuke Uchiha, and someone spoke nonsense about the Hyuga Clan that he had to come forward in person to explain to Hyuga Hiashi, that Hiruzen Sarutobi finally came to his senses.
It seems he did something wrong again.
Fortunately, he made remedial measures in a timely manner. He comforted Hyuga Hiashi while reorganizing Security Force, and finally suppressed the recent various situations in the village.
The situation in the village has eased, and he still comes to Security Force frequently to show his concern.
"Do they still want you to--" Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head and stared at Sarutobi Kou who was working with his head down. Although the other party didn't want to say, he could still guess.
The Elders in the family will never give up until their goals are achieved. The fact that three Elders just came to find Sarutobi Kou is the best proof.
The reason why he came here was because of two things. One was to continue his previous plan and find a suitable Kekkei Genkai family for Sarutobi Kou to marry into, and the other was to let her take a further step in Security Force's growth path.
No matter which one, it must be very difficult for him and Sarutobi Kou.
But Sarutobi Kou shook his head gently, with a rare smile and a little bit of relaxation in his voice.
"The third elder said that the family won't have anything to do with me for the time being, as long as I work hard in this position," she said.
Hearing such words, Third Hokage instead of feeling happy, actually frowned and asked, "Did he really say that?"
"Can this be false?" Sarutobi Kou crossed Byakugan, pulled out a piece of paper, then stood up and handed it to Third Hokage's hand.
"This is the work report for this afternoon. Ninja Academy is out of school now, and I have to go on patrol. Remember to close the door for me."
Without looking at Third Hokage again, she took off the robe from the hanger, put it on her body, and pushed out the door.
The sun was not far from the horizon, Konoha was blowing a cool wind, and it was time for get out of class to end.
The students at the Ninja Academy are still very free after class. Some go home, and some are diligent students who continue to practice at school Training Ground.
Hyuga Hanabi bid farewell to his classmates one by one at the school gate. Hyuga Hiashi strengthened the protection of his only remaining daughter. Not only Hyuga Yue was waiting at the gate, but also several Hyuga Branch Family were waiting together.
Now Hyuga Hanabi has become the most flamboyant Young Miss in the village. No matter where he goes, there are several Hyuga Clan members following him, never leaving.
She didn't like this feeling very much. She had told her father several times, but it could not change the situation because she was now Hyuga Main Family's only child.
Shikaru Nara was also waiting at the gate. She waved her hand gently, and Shikamaru Nara ran over in a hurry. Although his face was sleepy and he was yawning, he still nodded and bowed.
"Lu Yu sister."
"Shikamaru, aren't you still practicing today?"
As soon as Shikaru Nara opened his mouth, he pointed directly at Shikamaru's pain point. He loves to be lazy. He puts off troublesome things like cultivation whenever he can, and when he can't.
Because if you want to follow sister Lu Yu to practice, he is not the only one.
"Well, Choji made an appointment with me and Ino to have barbecue together." Shikamaru replied in a low voice.
"Really? I remember you told me that last time?"
Shikaru Nara was doubtful, so she waved again, and the little fat guys Choji and Ino ran over together.
"Lu Yu sister, do you want to eat?"
The first thing Choji did when meeting others was to share delicious food, but Lu Yu shook his head and rejected him, and then asked, "You three are going to have barbecue today?"
"Well, yes, yes, it's been a long time since the last time. This time my father gave me pocket money, just enough to eat barbecue." Choji grinned, completely ignoring the look in Shikamaru's side, and told the truth.
"That is to say, yesterday, the day before yesterday, and last week, you didn't go to have barbecue together?" Shikaru Nara continued to ask.
"Hmm, barbecue is too expensive, and my father also told me to have more balanced nutrition... Hey? Shikamaru?
Why are you poking me?" Choji turned his head and looked at his good friend.
Shikamaru's expression had become very bad at this time. He carefully raised his head and looked at his sister Lu Yu. He found that there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.
"That is to say, little Shikamaru, you were lying to your sister some time ago, right?" Shikaru Nara grabbed Shikamaru's face, rubbed it hard, and then said harsh words that made Shikamaru even more uncomfortable, "You go and talk to Choji first Ino Let them eat. When we get home in the evening, I will have a good talk with your mother about your study during this period."
"Ah?!"
Shikamaru's face became even more bitter, as if what he was going to eat next was not barbecue, but the bitterest medicine in the world.
Sure enough, the last thing in the family that should not be messed with is a woman, not to mention sister Lu Yu and his mother. When I get home at night, I am afraid that I will really be doomed.
"Then sister Lu Yu, we will leave first. Don't worry, we will definitely send Shikamaru home on time."
Ino patted Shikamaru on the shoulder and pulled him away from the school gate with his head drooped. She and Choji both turned around and waved to Lu Yu. Only Shikamaru, who was sandwiched in the middle, had his head drooped.
When the three of them disappeared at the street corner, Shikaru Nara was still waiting at the school gate.
Not long after, a young boy wearing blue short-sleeves ran out of the teaching building. With his head held high, he immediately saw Shikaru Nara waiting at the door, and then ran up in two or three steps.
"Sister Lu Yu, I was entangled by an idiot just now-" Sasuke Uchiha defended herself in a low voice.
Shikaru Nara patted Sasuke Uchiha's frizzy head and led him away from the school gate, heading towards the Uchiha Clan's clan Earth Flow.
As he walked, he asked, "Choji didn't invite you to have barbecue together?"
"Choji invited me--" Sasuke's voice became deeper. He lowered his head, looked at the ground, and replied, "But I refused. I want to practice more."
"Last time I faced the three of them, I lost quickly--"
"Tch, if you can beat the three of them now, that would be a weird thing. Even Third Hokage, it's not that easy to beat Ino-Shika-Cho."
Shikaru Nara patted Sasuke Uchiha on the back of the head, asking him to raise his head, and then continued, "But since you have said so, let's go, sister will take you to practice."
