When William stopped crying, he returned to his previous depressed and indifferent look, as if nothing had happened before. When they arrived at the inn of the Fire Country, the waiter checked the seal on Zhi Zhimei's handwriting, and everyone received the highest level of treatment. Whatever you want, you get it. Aliana enjoyed an oversized fruit platter, while Xiong Facai mixed honey water for himself. He could add three spoons of honey to a small cup of water. Qin Daniu was simple and asked the waiter for a training room. Seeing this, Wei Changfeng gritted his teeth and followed him. As for William, he asked the waiter for some strange materials, convenient clothes, and a hand axe. Li Zhuoguang also went into the bedroom as he said, saying that he wanted to take a nap, and told the waiter that no matter who came to see him, they should wait until he woke up. But he was just talking. How could he sleep at his age? After closing the door, he sat cross-legged and began to practice the cultivation method given by Xiong Facai. The true qi he cultivated was constantly infected by the traitor·crimson magic, and then he continued to strengthen his body in the direction of a human cultivator in a way that his body could accept. During the practice, Li Zhuoguang slowly opened his circle and monitored the surroundings. What satisfied him was that he did not find any ninjas watching him nearby. The only three ninjas around him were Danzo and his two men who were waiting in the inn. During the time when Li Zhuoguang was leaving them alone, Danzo had drunk three bowls of matcha, and there was no intention of urging Li Zhuoguang to meet guests. This situation made Li Zhuoguang quite satisfied, which proved that Danzo still had awe for the high-level officials of the Land of Fire. After all, his position as the acting Hokage was also designated by the daimyo. Even after Danzo and the bridge died together, Kakashi's position as the sixth generation was also designated by the daimyo.
Although Konoha and the Land of Fire are in an equal cooperative relationship, even the Hokage can be appointed by the Daimyo. What kind of equality is this? Every time I see this kind of plot, Li Zhuoguang always feels very confused. Isn't it that the power comes from the barrel of a gun? Looking at the original work, the only high-end combat force directly under the Daimyo is the Fire Temple, which is no match for Konoha at all. From beginning to end, only Obito, the lunatic, has ever taken action against the Daimyo. The rest of the ninjas, no matter what camp they are in, still protect the authority of the Daimyo of each country. After leaving Danzo alone for three hours, Li Zhuoguang finally "woke up". He was too lazy to do a little face work. When he saw Danzo, he confronted him: "Isn't this our Deputy Hokage? What's the matter? Are you here to apologize?" "Because of the delay in intelligence, the ninjas under my command disturbed the minister. I was very frightened. Fortunately, the minister was fine, so I am relieved." Danzo bowed his head slightly, his attitude was very low, and he did not quibble. After all, things are different now. In the past, when something like this happened, they could pretend to be unaware and put the blame on the Hokage. Now that he is the Hokage, it stands to reason that all the ninjas in Konoha are his subordinates. Any mistakes made by his subordinates can be blamed on him. Minister? Isn't he an official? The minister in charge of finance is not on the same level as an official. Did that cheap aunt upgrade me? Li Zhuoguang secretly pondered in his heart. He did not suspect that Danzo had made a mistake. The incident had happened for three hours. If he had not obtained the corresponding information, then his position as the ninja world's undercover was in vain. "Acting Hokage, in fact, there has always been a lot of controversy in the country about your acting Hokage. Now this kind of thing has happened again. You make me doubt your ability?" "I am deeply sorry." "I am a straightforward person. I am not against people, and what I am going to say next is also unintentional." Friends with rich social experience know that when you hear the above three sentences, you should understand them in reverse. So when Danzo, who had rich social experience, heard Li Zhuoguang's "pre-swing", his heart skipped a beat. As expected, Li Zhuoguang continued: "Let's not talk about my business first. I'm not a petty person, and I'm not injured. What I want to talk about is whether you are competent." "I have experienced three ninja world wars and have always been dedicated to Konoha..." Li Zhuoguang waved his hand and interrupted Danzo's story: "Three times? Why do I only remember one? You should not have been on the battlefield for the other two times. Let's talk about the recent period. I didn't see you during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, nor did I see you when the Akatsuki organization invaded. The three generations of Hokage have already reported your establishment of the "Root". To be honest, we didn't find that the "Root" was of any help to Konoha. Even the only spy mission that was done well did not send back much useful intelligence. As for counterintelligence, the role of "Root" is not as good as the previous Konoha Guard. After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, we thought that "Root" could take up the main responsibility, but you didn't achieve any results. Even the interrogation unit was more useful than you, and that was just a small team.
A department that is benchmarked against the Anbu, losing to Uchiha is fine, losing to Uchiha and then losing to the interrogation unit, and losing again will be shameless. " Danzo buried his head even lower, because Li Zhuoguang said the truth. Although "Root" has done a lot of great things over the years, it is not a good-for-nothing as Li Zhuoguang said. But can the things that Root did be brought out? "Before, because of the need for secret work, it was inconvenient to act. Now that I am the Hokage..." "Acting Hokage." "...Since I am the Acting Hokage, there will naturally be a new atmosphere. " "Those who support you also say so, but there are more people who don't support you. The two groups are arguing with each other, which is a headache for Daimyo. So I came." "Why is the Minister here?" "After discussions among all parties, the principle of 'the capable ones go up, the average ones give way, and the mediocre ones go down' has been set, and there will be fair competition for the position of Hokage. And in order to highlight fairness, I will choose a competitor for you." Danzo's face was uncertain: "So does the Minister have a candidate in mind?" Li Zhuoguang said indifferently: "I think Kakashi Hatake is very suitable, but the specific candidate needs to be considered. But these are not what you should care about. It is a natural selection, and the fittest survive. The reality is cruel. Only by actively adapting to the development of the ninja world and striving to improve their core competitiveness can they avoid being eliminated in the trend of the times. Acting Hokage, you need to improve your core competitiveness! " As an old Biden with a dark heart, Danzo knew what he meant. He stepped forward and said softly: "Please let the minister know clearly." "I came out this time to select the Hokage just by the way. In fact, I have another task. But, I am suffering from the few people available under my command..." "Konoha Ninja, you should be loyal to the Land of Fire!" "You are thoughtful, Acting Hokage." After that, the tense atmosphere between the two at the beginning dissipated, and for a while, both the host and the guest were happy. Finally, Li Zhuoguang personally sent Danzo out of the inn. The next day, Danzo received a message from Li Zhuoguang that he was going to recommend Uzumaki Naruto as the candidate for Hokage. What else could he say? This is a sure thing! He immediately prepared a heavy gift and planned to thank Li Zhuoguang in person. But I heard that Li Zhuoguang was drafting a letter to be presented to the daimyo, and it was inconvenient to be disturbed. He could only leave the gift and leave alone. And what about Li Zhuoguang? He was really writing a letter. I saw him sitting at the desk in the bedroom, thinking hard for a long time, and then he picked up the pen and wrote: Foreword, dear aunt, I am your lovely nephew Li Zhuoguang...
