Ninja Village's strength can be said to be closely related to the country's strength.
After Third Shinobi World War, Kumogakure has undoubtedly become the strongest village of Shinobi World. In this process, Land of Lightning's support is naturally indispensable.
Tanaka Qinghai He is similar to Shinhiko Kōzuki who has retired. Although he does not have an official position, many high-ranking Land of Lightning officials came from his disciples.
Such a big Nobles can naturally have more protection power than everyone in front of him, and may even surpass Maeda Shin of Land of Wind.
"After the assassinations of Land of Wind, Land of Water, and Land of Earth, Land of Lightning and Nobles will definitely pay more attention to their own safety. After the first three In the mission, you have proven that your adaptability and strength are fully capable of matching Jōnin. In the last mission, you can designate a Jōnin to go with you. There is no test in this mission, and you will be companions of equal status."
Considering the difficulty of assassinating Tanaka Qinghai, Third Hokage canceled the examiner and examinee mechanism and turned this S-class mission into a regular mission.
"You have one day to think about your Teammate. As long as the person you designate is in the village, you can take him with you. This also includes your Uchiha Clan people."
Danzo has become extremely well-behaved recently, but Third Hokage knows that Danzo is not a person who just sits still. The quieter Danzo is, the more dangerous Madara Uchiha is, so Third Hokage also gives Madara Uchiha the greatest degree of freedom in the face of the most dangerous tasks.
"Yes."
After saying goodbye to Third Hokage, Madara Uchiha took Chōza Akimichi and left in front of Third Hokage.
"Yo!"
Madara Uchiha and Chōza Akimichi had just come out of the Hokage building. A thin man wearing a dark green vest, a ponytail, deep eyes and a lazy expression appeared at Madara Uchiha In front of them, this person is Teammate Shikaku Nara, the predecessor of Madara Uchiha, and he is also the current patriarch of the Nara Clan.
"Shikaku, what are you doing here?"
Chōza Akimichi is a little confused about the sudden appearance of Shikaku Nara. This troublesome guy will not come here without purpose just to say hello to him.
"Hello Itachi, you should have successfully completed this mission again."
Shikaku Nara ignored his old friend at first. He started chatting with Madara Uchiha.
"Yes, it doesn't look like you're looking for me, so I'll leave first."
Madara Uchiha looked at Shikaku and then at Chōza Akimichi, who was standing next to him with a confused look on his face, and smiled secretly in his heart. He answered Shikaku. After that, their eyes met, and each of them roughly understood what the other was thinking.
"So you came to see me?"
Although Shikaku didn't answer Choza's question, with the tacit understanding between the two, Choza naturally knew that Shikaku had his own reasons for not paying attention to him, so Choza was not angry. He naturally walked to Shikaku's side, as if waiting for Shikaku's instructions.
There is no way, ever since Choza and Shikaku met, these two people have always done whatever Shikaku said and Choza did.
"Oh, who else can I turn to? Let's go and talk in detail at my house."
Shikaku looked at Madara Uchiha's retreating back and let out a long sigh, Konoha was going to be in trouble again.
"You said Third Hokage wants us to follow Uchiha Itachi?!"
"Keep your voice down!"
Seeing Choza so excited, Shikaku quickly covered his old friend's mouth. He was afraid that his simple old friend would do something stupid and be taken advantage of after completing the mission with Madara, so he intercepted Choza at the first time.
"No, Uchiha Itachi is only nine years old. He is not even Jōnin. Lord Hokage just wants to promote him to be Jōnin. Otherwise, why would we care for him?"
Under Shikaku's sharp eyes, Choza calmed down, and he quietly raised his doubts to his friend.
"Caregiver? Lord Hokage is asking Uchiha Itachi to demonstrate to us! I guess Uchiha Itachi also used Flying Thunder God Technique in front of you."
"He moved so fast that I didn't see it clearly, but judging from the teleportation he took me to, it's probably Fourth Hokage's commonly used Flying Thunder God Technique."
Chōza Akimichi answered Shikaku's question with a guilty conscience.
There was no way. When Madara killed the target, Choza was still attracted by Yakiniku. He only felt a roar next to him, and then Madara told him that the mission was over. Otherwise, he would not be sure how Madara completed the mission until he returned to the village.
On the way back, Choza was also feeling sorry for Yakiniku while wondering how Madara completed the task. He really didn't think Madara was so powerful because of his multitasking.
Shikaku looked helplessly at Choza who felt guilty. This guy must have been patronizing and eating again.
"How sure are you of defeating Uchiha Itachi?"
"Oh, don't ask me, just tell me what you want to do, and I will listen to you."
Seeing that Shikaku was still asking questions for himself, Chōza Akimichi also acted like he was begging for mercy. He took a pack of snacks prepared by Shikaku and ate them while looking at Shikaku resignedly.
If Nara Family and Akimichi Clan had not been family friends for hundreds of years, and if Shikaku had some intention of harming Akimichi Clan, I am afraid that Chōza Akimichi could lead his family to help Shikaku count money.
"Uchiha Itachi is a monster with greater potential than Fourth Hokage. At the same time, he has the strong support of the Uchiha Clan and Third Hokage. Third Hokage allows us to act as Uchiha Itachi Jōnin The real purpose of the E exam examiner is not to expect us to test Itachi, but to give Itachi an opportunity to show us his strength. Third Hokage is asking us, if he trains Weasel to be Fifth Hokage, what choice will Akimichi Clan and Nara Clan make?"
Even though Choza had already said that he would listen to Shikaku, Shikaku still gave his own analysis and did not hide anything.
"Then do you support Uchiha Itachi? If he becomes Hokage, will Uchiha Clan be even more rampant? I will listen to you anyway."
Under the analysis of Shikaku, Choza successfully grasped the key points without using any brain.
Shikaku looked at Choza who looked indifferent. At this moment, he suddenly envied this guy for his lack of heart. It was really hard for him to make all the troublesome decisions by himself.
After all, if Shikaku is chosen incorrectly, both Nara Clan and Akimichi Clan will suffer.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Fortunately, neither Third Hokage nor Itachi is forcing us to make a choice now. It seems like this is just a way for them to win over us, but you have to remember that no information about Uchiha Itachi can be leaked. We must not offend Uchiha Clan's people, and I will ask both Nara Clan and Jōnin to vote in favor of Uchiha Itachi's promotion to Jōnin."
