After the two had communicated for a while, Orochimaru left. He only asked about things related to Senjutsu, and didn't ask some questions that he shouldn't ask. Now his relationship with Naruto is still very harmonious on the surface.
In the end, the two agreed on the time for the future delivery of the Nine-Tails' nails, and Orochimaru left.
Naruto watched Orochimaru's departing figure and drank a sip of tea indifferently.
Now he also knows a little bit about Orochimaru. This guy has a high IQ, and his nature is like a snake. Before he figures out his own strength, he is unlikely to do anything harmful to Naruto, because this may be detrimental to him.
Even if this guy guesses something, it doesn't matter to Naruto.
Snakes may not be honest, but as long as they show a power that they can't cope with in front of them, they will cooperate obediently and become the most loyal partners. On the contrary, if Naruto didn't show that he could freely master the Nine-Tails and have the Flying Thunder God teleportation... Once this snake guessed something, it would definitely make a move.
And it's a steady and ruthless shot!
Simply put, Orochimaru is just like Sasuke, but he is more self-aware, unlike Sasuke, who floated after practicing, but it's not a big problem, just beat him up a few more times.
This guy seems to be a few centimeters taller than me... it feels so uncomfortable.... Wait for me to find an excuse for actual combat training tomorrow.... and beat him up again.
...
"Ah~!"
The next day, Naruto woke up from the bed, took a deep breath and looked at the environment around him, and his nervous mood gradually began to relax.
"What, did you dream of something?"
The Nine-Tails asked in the seal space.
"Well, I dreamed of a panda dying, and the corpse was crawling and crying to me while crawling. It was a weird dream." Naruto covered his face with one hand, frowned and continued: "It's weird, how can I have such a strange dream."
"If you talk about dreams..."
The expression of the Nine-Tails was also a bit strange, and he said hesitantly: "I dreamed that the Two-Tails was dead, and it was cut off by someone with a knife. It's so strange."
"Is it? Really? I'm different, I dreamed that Naruto became stronger again yesterday, very strong, stronger than anyone." The Three-Tails joined in and said.
Because of the loose mouth yesterday, the Three-Tails was beaten by the Nine-Tails with a flame fist, and the turtle shell was still a bit red, and it would probably take a while to fully recover.
...
Time has been accelerated.
We have now arrived at the eve of the Chunin Exams.
During this period, Naruto is practicing and doing tasks normally on the surface. In secret, he found an opportunity to go out and do a task and gave Orochimaru a small section of the Nine-Tails' fingernail, then waited for Orochimaru to make a weapon.
As for the materials, although Naruto wanted to go to Orochimaru's place, he had no chance because the Third Hokage, Tenten, came to play chess and chat.
This old guy is now completely giving up, occasionally asking Naruto some questions about politics, mainly asking his opinions, wanting to understand how Naruto sees it, and whether Naruto is suitable to be the future Hokage.
In response, Naruto didn't hide anything, he directly answered according to his true inner answer, anyway, this old guy doesn't have much time left, there's no need to lie to him.
Undoubtedly, his opinions are very good, especially the central tax subsidy policy, the balance adjustment of task rewards is very important, it will no longer appear the previous situation where villagers have major protection needs, but can't come up with decent rewards, so they can only suffer in low-level tasks, or even can't issue tasks at all.
This is very beneficial to public security, the sense of belonging of the marginal small villages to Konohagakure is rising straightly, but this sense of belonging is rising is to spend money, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, the two advisors, strongly oppose Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision, this policy must be cancelled in the future, Danzo also thinks so.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is in a difficult position, occasionally he will also complain to Naruto: this policy may not be able to maintain in Konohagakure for a month, it's just an ideal, it doesn't conform to the reality.
Naruto replied, "Do you know why Konohagakure is a village and Land of Fire is a country? If the high-level of Konohagakure are all such people, it will only be a village in the future, the economy is completely supported and assisted by Land of Fire, there is no independent autonomy."
"I simply and directly said that because your policy only cares about immediate interests, there is no long-term vision, so for decades, although Konohagakure's economy has developed, but the development goes round and round and can't get rid of the dependence on Land of Fire's economy, ninjas are just tool people who complete tasks, Konohagakure is also just a group of tool people, not to mention others Daimyo look down on you, if it were me, I would also look down on you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned, although Naruto's words were simple and crude, but they hit the nail on the head, his thinking has surpassed the Hokage's thinking and reached a higher level.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen did not fully agree, Naruto's words were very real.
"The military power of Land of Fire is just trash, it can't beat Konohagakure at all, but people manage it well, the economic development is stronger than you, haha, it's really a good hand played badly, the economic and cultural development is too poor, the most important economic lifeline in the village is held by others, you must feel inferior when facing Daimyo, after all, it's about money."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was dumbfounded, he felt that what Naruto said seemed wrong, but he couldn't find any rebuttal, so he continued to ask, facing this situation, what is your solution?
But he didn't get an answer
Because Naruto doesn't understand these things very well, he is responsible for fighting in Teyvat, he just happened to understand a little bit about Tevyat's policy and politics, he doesn't understand the specific details, he just knows a little bit about it.
After all, he has lived in Tevyat for a long time, even if he doesn't deliberately understand, he can learn something.
Naruto doesn't want to think about Konohagakure, he just wants to despise Konohagakure's high-level with his own knowledge, and say to Sarutobi Hiruzen in a bright and upright way: your management is really bad, there is no long-term vision at all.
He scolded confidently, with reason and evidence
As for practical reform?
I'm not Hokage, I don't care, it's enough to scold and feel good, the Third Hokage is embarrassed, and his mouth can't even find an excuse, it's just great! What's more refreshing than this?
Ah~ It's so good!
However, Naruto's attitude also made Sarutobi Hiruzen more and more certain, he is definitely a top genius, whether it's strength, vision, or thinking ability, he is the pinnacle of Konohagakure's younger generation, even stronger than Namikaze Minato back then!
...
"Naruto, do you want to be Hokage and make the future Konohagakure develop better?" Sarutobi asked with hopeful eyes.
"I'm not interested." Naruto decisively refused.
He never denies that he is high-minded and low-handed, criticizing Konohagakure's policy, giving a little advice, being high-minded is enough, but if he really wants him to operate, it's definitely not possible, Naruto is just a fighter, he doesn't understand the details.
