Chapter 228 Psychological Game
Naruto was equivalent to the default remarks, which made Yashamaru slightly stunned, as if he had obtained a password to answer the remaining questions in his heart, which made the confused and incomprehensible chaotic and complex thoughts that had been forced to suppress in his heart suddenly become clear. Then, in his mind, he gradually recalled the beginning of contact with Naruto, and from beginning to end, he maintained rationality and clarity, making people unable to notice the violent and fierce temperament that Hiroshi Riki used to. Not to mention that if Naruto did not actively admit to mentioning it, he would never be able to associate this young man who did not play according to the routine, but was considered gentle and friendly in terms of performance, with Hiroshi Riki who was always suffering from rampage and out of control.
This is enough to explain why Naruto, who came to the Hidden Village of Sarawak, deliberately changed his name and activated the identity of "Hafeng Mianma". In order to make his actions more inconspicuous, he chose low-level C-level tasks as a cover...
After all, as an important trump card and combat power of a ninja village - as measured by Naruto's words in his previous life, the human tsuri, who sealed the tailed beast in his body, is basically equivalent to a nuclear warhead - one of them. If other ninja villages learn about Naruto's leaving the village, it will inevitably cause the overall strength and deterrence of Konoha Village to suddenly drop to a higher level. In turn, those sluts who covet the fertile land of the Fire Kingdom are ready to move again, and even directly join forces to launch a surprise attack, which is not an impossible exhibition.
In addition, the impact of Renjiji leaving the village alone is far more than this.
You should know that even if the war ceases, it has entered a rare period of peaceful truce, and even due to frequent trade and communication, Sakai Village and Konoha Village maintain a friendly relationship on the surface...
But at the same time, the trauma caused by the war did not fade so easily. Even though the war had stopped for several years, there were still many people in the Sand Village today who hated Konoha Village. This apparent friendly relationship was not as strong and reliable as the world thought, but was rather fragile and fragile.
Secondly, as one of the symbols of the village's combat power, in order to avoid being ambushed by other ninja villages that covet the power of the tailed beast when Renjiuli is operating outside the village, every time Renjiuli travels, if nothing unexpected happens, he will have specially arranged strong men to follow him and provide protection and assistance inseparable.
But like Naruto, who ran to other villages casually and revealed his identity as Jijiriki to others without hesitation, was the first case in history. So much so that Yashamaru could not help but instinctively doubt... Naruto, who seemed unfathomable and easily resolved the hatred and hatred of Gaara by the children of the Sand Village. Is his mind extremely intelligent, or is it very stupid and naive?
Not to mention anything else, if Yashamaru is looking for an excuse now and goes to tell his brother-in-law that the "Hamoto Misa" they have been worried about is actually the "Kobashijiriki of Konoha Village... Out of the mentality of shocking external forces, the better, the better, the Satsuki Village will probably take advantage of Naruto's away game at all costs, so that Konoha Village cannot save the near fire due to the distant water and cannot support it in time, which will make Naruto in isolation and no support. Let Naruto completely leave Naruto - or Kyushu - in Satsuki Village, take it for yourself, right?
This obvious exhibition, let alone Yashamaru, can easily imagine even a passerby with a little knowledge. With his own understanding since his contact with Naruto, Naruto could not have thought of this... It is precisely because of this that Yashamaru thought secretly with mixed feelings. A flash of inspiration in his mind, he noticed another possibility - what if it was Naruto who did it on purpose?
Naruto's identity and strength as "Hamoto Misa" was enough to make the Sand Village afraid of being a slut to the point of choosing to spend money to eliminate disasters. In addition, Naruto never showed any signs of being out of control from beginning to end, and he could not notice the slightest breath of the tailed beast chakra. So no matter how Yashamaru looked at Naruto, he could only see Naruto's normal appearance that seemed to have nothing to do with the identity of Toshiki Riki...
Then, under this known condition, Yashamaru made two bold guesses...
The first guess is that Naruto calls himself Tsubaki Riki, just like himself "Hakumi Misa", was made up of fiction and hypothesis. It is used to test whether Yashamaru, which has a complicated relationship behind it, regards Naruto as a friend from the bottom of his heart. Then, through Yashamaru's reaction, it is determined whether the friendly relationship between Konoha Village and Satsuki Village will continue to maintain... or whether to make the current financial tightness and short-suffering Satsuki Village announce to the world that Konoha Ninja Village has returned to the five major ninja villages, which is a stepping stone that shocks all over the world.
The second guess is that Naruto calls himself Tsubaki Riki, and it is indeed true. It is out of trust in Yashamaru that he chose to tell the whole story...
But in this way, the tailed beast chakra can be suppressed without any leakage, so that when the identity of Tsukijiriku is roughly different from that of an ordinary ninja... Naruto's own strength is worthy of intrigue.
In Yashamaru's perception, either the seal imposed on Naruto by Konoha Ninja Village is sufficient to completely suppress the riot of the tailed beast. Or it is Naruto's own strength that has been strong enough to activate the tailed beast freely, becoming the existence of the perfect genus Jirabi like the Eight Tailed Kirabi in Yunxi Village...
No matter which one is, if it angers Naruto or forces Naruto into a desperate situation, Naruto completely vents the power of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox in the Sand Hidden Village without reservation. For the weakest among the tailed beasts and cannot be effectively controlled at all, he is undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage. Not only the fact that Samsara cannot defeat the Nine-tailed Tails, but when Samsara is released, Samsara, when Samsara is unaware of whether Samsara will escape in the chaos, it is an unpredictable unknown.
In other words, under the above guess, even if Naruto exposed the identity of Hiroshiri. For the Sand Hidden Village, which is currently in an awkward situation and is restricted everywhere, once Naruto becomes ruthless, he will definitely have the powerful force to be an enemy of the entire Hidden Village in a while! To make matters worse, if Naruto is already the perfect Hidden Village, he can maintain his consciousness and completely transform into a tail beast. After a rampage, he can leave directly while the power of the tail beast has not yet been exhausted!
What's more, because of Naruto's appearance, his little nephew has the possibility of making friends and staying away from loneliness... All the possibilities that rationally think about are at a disadvantage and unfavorable situation - at least without any advantages - out of personal gratitude, Yashamaru cannot give birth to the trust that he betrayed Naruto and gave him. So much so that as time goes by, Yashamaru, whose thoughts gradually become clearer, has gradually determined what he should do next.
"Huh... So that's it... Naruto, you are actually the current Tsubasaki of Konoha Village, which is really unexpected."
As my mind turned sharply, emotions and reason fought each other in my mind to achieve the result. While Yashamaru let out a long breath, he had already made a choice not to get along with celebrities. Then he smiled without changing his face, and he reached out to hook Naruto's neck, turned his head a little, and leaned in Naruto's ears. In order to prevent others from hearing the content of the conversation, he deliberately lowered the volume of his own words. While looking at Gaara who was playing with the children, his words were faintly mixed with a little envy, and he continued to say word by word.
"No wonder you would come to Sand Village from all over the place and look for reasons to hide your whereabouts... You can leave the village freely, and I don't know when I will be able to do this."
“…You made a wise choice, my friend.”
Hearing the words suddenly coming from his ears, Naruto, who had been silent while Yashamaru was thinking deeply, knew that Yashamaru had made his choice. Then, while the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, he first replied with a word that had nothing to do with Yashamaru's words. Then, while paying attention to the innocent and satisfying smile that Gaara showed, he gave Yashamaru a soft answer in a positive tone.
"As long as you care and care for Gaara with love and avoid him from going on the wrong path...then, it will only be a matter of time for Gaara."
The various speculations that flashed through Yashamaru's mind were obviously not unreasonable... After all, for Naruto, who could even calculate the cunning old guy like Duanzo, who could calculate until death. After careful consideration, every important choice Naruto chose was to think twice before taking action. And the direct exposure of his own identity as Tsubaki Riki was no exception, and he had some plans. The hidden real purpose was indeed almost the same as Yashamaru's guess - that was whether there was a need to continue with the friendly exchanges with the Sakura Village.
Seeing that Sakura Village is my hometown, Naruto was naturally happy to see Konoha Village and Sakura Village become real friends. But when Naruto recalled the Chunin Examination Village, under the command of Orochimaru's Fourth Generation Megumi, he did not hesitate to invade the rampant Sakura Village of Konoha Village. Once Yashamaru showed a slight wavering trend, Naruto would not mind killing the chicken to warn the monkey and give Sakura a little bitterness in advance.
Not to mention, after entering the Sand Village, after witnessing it with his own eyes, the commercial streets that were obviously much depressed compared to Konoha Village were enough to infer from it that the economy of Sand Village was so tight. Then there was no need to release the nine lamas to make a big fuss. Even if it was just to completely cut off the trade between Konoha Village and Sand Village, for today's Sand Village, the further reduction of income sources is definitely enough for them to have a headache for a while...
Although doing so is very likely to affect the living conditions of the little panda. However, compared with the Konoha Ninja Village where their parents protected with their lives, the situation of the Sand Hidden Village is obviously much less important... If you are forced to get angry, Naruto will directly redirect Gaara back to Konoha Village!
Anyway, in the Sandian Village, even the fourth generation of Mu Fengying, who is the real father, doesn't like this pitiful little panda very much. Then Gaara's nostalgia for the village must be quite slight... On this basis, as long as his strongest escape technique in the ninja world - "mouth escape", is used well, and even coaxing and deceiving, a piece of sugar-coated cannonballs will be gone. Are you still afraid that the little panda who longs for others to recognize and care will refuse to follow him back to the village?
As for being surrounded and pursued by Naruto's Nine-Tail Tsukiriku or Naruto's attempt to abduct a little panda... For Naruto, who possesses the Flying Thunder God's Technique, this kind of thing is not a hidden place. The Flying Thunder God's Technique will directly transmit all of his people home, which is enough to completely solve the problem? It's simple, easy and fast. You don't have to worry about the accident that the Akatsukiru will run away and join in the fun after receiving the information that the Kyukiruru appeared in the Sakura's Technique will not hesitate to join in the fun.
Well... If you count this way, in a sense... Yashamaru's choice helped Sakai Village avoid the loss of blood loss that he lost his wife and soldiers at one time.
"Is it just a matter of time... Then, I will accept your Yoshino, Naruto-kun."
After keenly realizing the faint warning meaning of Naruto's words, Yashamaru felt a sense of gratitude and relief while conjecture. Then he secretly swears in his heart that he will never get involved in the brain-consuming chores of Naruto's suspicion and calculations in the future. While thinking of something, he asked curiously.
"Speaking of this, how long do you plan to stay in Sahiro Village... Ah, don't get me wrong! I definitely don't say Sahiro Village doesn't welcome you. I just..."
"I'm just curious about how free I am now, as a Jijiriki, so that I can be prepared for a rough mentality when welcoming the future after Gaara's transformation, right? Anla, I can still see these little thoughts..."
Naruto did not care about the momentary mistake of Yashamaru's in desperation. While smiling, while half-joking and half-seriously took over the conversation, he looked up and down at Yashamaru's figure while staring at his straight eyes so that Yashamaru mistakenly thought Naruto was calculating him again. After he became a little nervous, he staggered his eyes a little. Then, to be on the safe side, he continued to speak seriously.
"However, Yashamaru...If you want to see Gaara have such a bright future, you must not abandon your life at will... In order to ensure that Gaara will not completely lose control, at some point, you must not obey any instructions from your brother-in-law to test Gaara... In other words, Yashamaru, you have to think about Gaara who relies on Gaara who is attached to you and keep living well."
"Ha...?Hey, are you cursing me to death? Naruto-kun... This is a bit too much..."
After hearing such unlucky words from Naruto, even with Yashamaru's gentle temperament, he couldn't help but frown a little. But while his verbal dissatisfaction and complaints, he quietly remembered every word Naruto said just now because of the instinctive sense of crisis that was inexplicably born in his heart.
"It's just because of your friend, I'll give you a vaccination... Believe it or not depends on your own choice."
Before having deeper trust and bonds with Yashamaru, Naruto did not intend to reveal more information about the "future" to Yashamaru. Being able to remind him that he would refuse to perform the suicide mission issued by the fourth generation of Metaphor, it was already considered to be Ren's righteousness. So after hearing Yashamaru's complaints, Naruto just smiled slightly and did not defend too much. Then, while inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of Kasumi and Shimizu holding a large bag and a small bag, and turned his head slightly. As he realized, he answered the questions Yashamaru had raised before.
"Depending on the current situation, we can stay for about one day at most... After all, Gaara's current emotional control still has some minor problems. After Gaara's situation completely stabilizes, I can return to the village with confidence."
"Alas? In other words, you are leaving tomorrow? So soon?"
Unexpectedly, after getting the exact time for Naruto to leave, Yashamaru felt a little relieved, but because of the selfless help Naruto provided to Gaara [Well, it was quite selfless, so selfless that he almost couldn't resist the impulse in his heart and turned your baby nephew back to the village...], he felt a little reluctant and apologized. So much so that he gritted his teeth and pursed his lips and hesitated for a while, and then continued tentatively.
"It's rare to visit Sand Village... Don't you have a few more days to play? Besides, Gaara finally made a true friend like you and left so quickly... the child would be very sad and reluctant to leave, right? If he was worried about the Fourth Generation Mufeng... if my brother-in-law and his friends were there, I would go and explain it to you."
"It is precisely because I know that the child is reluctant to leave, that I have to leave earlier. Otherwise, the longer the time goes, the more reluctant the child is to leave us? Moreover, if you stay for a few more days, your brother-in-law, who is worried about whether my brother-in-law will cause harm to the Sand Village, will be so entangled that he can't sleep even if he doesn't eat well, right?"
While bending his eyes and shook his head and declined, Naruto, who had already arranged the trip to leave the village, did not accept the kindness proposed by Yashamaru to keep it. Instead, two figures of Uncle Bai and the beautiful "My Sister" appeared in his mind. While the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, a teasing and joking smile appeared with a gossip. In Yashamaru's confused expression, he smiled and jokingly joked.
"Hey hey hey hey... What's more, I'm in a hurry to collect debts from someone and let him fulfill his promise..."
"It's been delayed for so long, so he can enjoy the leisure time of the bachelor for a while... I can't let him continue to be cool like this!"
