(Yes, tickets!)
Shikamaru listened to his father's explanation and felt that he understood a little, but more doubts surfaced.
Lu Jiu noticed his son's frown and smiled as he patted his head.""There's no need to rush. There are many things that you haven't experienced before. You won't be able to understand it just based on what I said.”
Shikamaru nodded." I have one last question, Father."”
"Go ahead." Lu Jiu said.
"I want to know the real reason why the third generation Lord Naruto resigned.”Shikamaru looked troubled." I've thought of many reasons, but none of them are decisive.”
Lu Jiu was stunned when he heard this. He looked at his son for a while and also revealed a distressed expression.
"Looks like I told you too much too early.”Lu Jiu smiled bitterly.
Father, silence means betrayal. I really don't understand why our three clans betrayed the Yuan Fei Clan on this matter. That earring is still on your ear.”Shikamaru said as he pointed at the token on his ear.
That earring was the token of the Yuan Fei Clan's alliance with the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly Clans during the Warring States Period.
Since then, both parties had maintained an extremely close relationship.
The Pig Deer Butterfly had always been a loyal fan of the Yuan Fei Clan.
We didn't betray Yuan Fei." Shikamaru rubbed Shikamaru's head and sighed.""The truth is that Yuan Fei betrayed us.”
"Why do you say that?" Shikamaru widened his eyes.
"Tell me your opinion first." Lu Jiu said.
Shikamaru nodded and began to state his thoughts for the past few days.
"Father, what you said just now made me believe that the failure of the third generation Naruto's decision was not the reason why he stepped down. It was because when the third shadow left the village, Orochimaru defected, Lord Okami left without saying goodbye, and even Lord Asama left Koba... Even such a stain could not shake the power of the third generation Naruto, let alone this time?”
"If we were to judge by merits and demerits, how dazzling were the achievements of the third generation leader on the battlefield when he was called Shinobu when he was young? Why aren't you commenting on your achievements now?”
" But Father, you just said that the third generation's wrong judgment about Uchiha Dojo's defection was a big failure in ZZ's career. It shook his wise image. People no longer believe in the accuracy of his orders and no longer think that he can lead the village well.”
"Why do you think that the third generation is no longer suitable to lead the village because of this failure, Father?”
Shikiga listened to Shikamaru's words with a surprised expression and fell silent for a long time.
"Sigh, since I've said this, I won't hide it from you. However, you must remember not to tell anyone.”Lu Jiu sighed.
"Yes." Shikamaru nodded seriously.
"Actually, I was the one who said that there were some prerequisites missing. Shikamaru, you're thinking too much.”
"Do you remember what the Will of Fire said? It wasn't that becoming Naruto would get everyone's approval, but only by getting everyone's approval could one become Naruto! The third-generation leader had already distanced himself from the ninjas in the village.”
"Why?" Shikamaru was puzzled.
"Because…people will always grow old, and new people will always appear. If the old branches refused to fall and continued to absorb the nutrients of the big tree, how would the new paper stick out?”Lu Jiu said in a heavy tone.
Shikamaru's eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide. It was as if a string of electric currents had flowed through his body. His spirit immediately quivered, and he felt a deep sense of fear and palpitation.
This feeling was as if something beautiful had torn apart its disguise and revealed the bloody truth beneath.
"At that time, the big tree Muye experienced the pain of wind and rain. The new branches were not able to bear the heavy responsibility. The old branches guarded the top of the tree, thinking that they had to shelter the wind and rain for the later generations. But how could there be a second big tree in the shade of the tree?”Lu Jiu said in pain.
"At that time, we already felt that it was inappropriate, but the situation at that time and the personal prestige of the third generation made us helplessly choose to accept it.”
Shikamaru listened silently. He had read history and knew that the restoration of three generations was definitely not as simple as Shikuru had said.
The matter of Hidden Cloud Village had yet to be resolved, and the third generation leader made a decision. He brought his trusted aides to the capital overnight and asked for permission to resume his post from the Daimyo. This made Muye and the others feel helpless but also understanding.
"It's not just the Uchiha Clan that's embarrassed. Actually, many of us are embarrassed as well.”Lu Jiu took a sip of tea and sighed." The old third-generation leader who lost his appeal used his trusted aides to stabilize his power. As a result, the elders monopolized Muye's industry and voice, and the elders guaranteed the position of the third-generation leader. If the people above refused to come down, the people below could not go up.”
Shikamaru looked at his father in disbelief, his heart trembling.
These were already words that could kill one's heart!
If it was outside, Nara Shika wouldn't have said such a thing, even if he was facing the leaders of Yamanaka and Akinari.
But for his son, the future Nara Clan Leader…
Lu Jiu honestly expressed his opinion.
"But overall, the internal turmoil within Muye is about to end.”" We, the Shinobu Shinobu, and the ninjas of our master and disciple lineage have already reached the initial goal of cooperating to force them to surrender," said Shikamaru.?”
"Now, we just have to wait for the new fifth-generation leader.”Shikamaru patted Shikamaru's shoulder and said gently.
Shikamaru lowered his head, a worried expression on his small face as he sighed heavily.
"Father, I didn't expect that Uchiha's betrayal would cause such a huge storm in Koba.”
Lu Jiu shook his head and said,"" Shikamaru, he's not a simple character that can be described as 'Uchiha a traitor..."
"Father, what do you mean?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you directly that the abdication of the third generation is just a current problem. The real serious problem has not surfaced yet.”Lu Jiu shook his head.
For example, the issue of the redemption of the captured Sunset Red Ninja, the issue of the future attitude towards the Uchiha clan, and the issue of the Uchiha Dojo's attitude towards Koba.
"The whole storm was caused by Uchiha Minoru, or perhaps he is the eye of the storm. The change in power within Mu Ye was just the aftermath of his own influence. If he hadn't defected, we wouldn't have achieved our goal of attending the ninja class meeting.”
Lu Jiu said in a self-deprecating tone,"At the end of the day, we're just complacent about picking up something that others don't like, just like a vulture snatching the carrion left behind by a lion.”
"Father…"
Shikamaru stared at Shikiga in a daze.
This was the first time he had seen his calm and confident father reveal such a dejected expression.
