Chapter 653 The Third Round

One thing we have to admit is that after Naruto and Sasuke withdrew from the Hokage candidate list, Yuya's third round was really difficult.

After all...

His original preparation for the third round was to let two adjacent regions compete.

That is, two adjacent candidates from the five regions of East, West, South, North and Center competed.

Of course, the competition in name is actually to let them cooperate and develop their regions together.

And now, after these guys withdrew, the third round of assessment must not be done in this way.

Well...

But when did Sasuke get together with Sakura?

Damn, I really want to eat melons...

At the end of Konoha 68, many things happened this year.

For example, people in other villages were developing their own villages and also looking for Yuya to buy the follow-up maintenance service of drones.

They also found that the development difficulty of drones is indeed not high, but there is a prerequisite for use.

That is, drones need to rely on signal base stations.

Without signals, drones are just useless things that can only fly but cannot transmit images.

As for the signal base station, except for the five major ninja villages, basically no other village has supporting facilities.

Yahiko of the Rain Country was very angry after knowing this.

But there was nothing he could do.

It's not that he doesn't want to develop signal base station technology.

It's just that if you want to make a signal base station that can allow drones to transmit stably, you must have at least 4G network technology reserves.

And they don't have this technology.

This is also normal. Even in the previous life, most countries did not have 4G or above signal base stations in their own countries.

Even if there are, they use other countries' signals and will be strangled at any time.

Yahiko really wants the Rain Country to be independent, but this location is indeed too special. The three ninja villages of the three countries of earth, fire, and wind cannot allow the Rain Country to be independent.

In the end, Yahiko could only pinch his nose and accept it.

On the other hand, in the Whirlpool Country, although Nagato was thrown out as a white glove by Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki when they were in power, he also had his own group of people because of this.

After Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato returned to Konoha Village, Nagato was freed.

Mizutomon En said something right.

There really aren't any reliable people in their family.

This led to Nagato's crazy development in the Whirlpool Country. Now he has become the Left Minister of the Whirlpool Country. It can be said that his power is already at the top of the Whirlpool Country.

The people sent by Mizutomon En wanted to stop him, but unfortunately they didn't have the ability.

After all, Nagato didn't give you a chance at all. If you want to do some insidious means, Nagato is a ninja after all, and a ninja following Jiraiya. It's impossible for him to be bad, and naturally he can't be plotted against by such insidious means.

Therefore, Nagato has gradually gained a foothold in the Whirlpool Country.

Yuya is actually very unhappy about this situation.

Because for him, the Whirlpool Country is good in the hands of Mizutomon En's useless grandson, and it's easy to control.

When it comes to Nagato, there may always be accidents.

Therefore, Yuya thought about letting Namikaze Minato go again.

But this time, he was rejected by Namikaze Minato.

Because half a year after Naruto got married, which is now the end of the year, Hinata got pregnant, and it has been two months.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki don't think about anything else now, they are only thinking about becoming grandparents soon.

As for the Whirlpool Country, let it be.

Yuya has no choice but to let nature take its course.

Even so, there are still many gaps between the Whirlpool Country and Konoha Village.

It's just that Konoha Village can't always maintain a gentle image to the outside world.

Yuya's time is running out. After the three-year assessment period, he is going to abdicate and travel around the world with Tsunade.

After so many years of hard work, he is already over 60 years old. Can't Yuya enjoy himself?

Abdication is certain, but before abdication...

Yuya has to be prepared.

Well...

He seems to know what the third round of assessment will be.

...

Konoha 69 New Year.

In Naruto and Hinata's new home:

Naruto was washing dishes with a miserable look on his face, while Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato pulled Hinata to say something to take care of each other's health.

Hinata was very happy to touch her belly. Although she was only three months pregnant and not showing any signs of pregnancy, she was ready to give everything for the child in her belly.

As they talked, the topic turned to business.

Uzumaki Kushina: "Daughter-in-law, although the Hokage has not yet set the goal for the assessment this year, this old guy and I have already agreed that you must take good care of your body. I have also thought about it. When the time comes, I will go to help you with this old guy."

Namikaze Minato was speechless and stared blankly.

They are only forty years old, okay? How can they be old guys?

Namikaze Flower Spirit happily hugged Hinata's arm and touched Hinata's flat belly when she had nothing to do.

If Flower Spirit was not a girl, Uzumaki Kushina would have scolded her.

Hua Ling's face flushed with excitement at this time: "My nephew, my niece, hey hey, hey hey hey."

Hinata looked embarrassed, then looked at Uzumaki Kushina and nodded seriously: "I know mom, if I need your help in any way, I will definitely speak up."

Saying that, Hinata looked at Namikaze Minato: "Dad, too."

Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina nodded happily.

"Mom and Dad, I've finished washing the dishes. Let's go and rest for a while. You can chat slowly."

Anger suddenly appeared on Uzumaki Kushina's face, she stood up immediately, and then pinched Naruto's ears: "Why rest?! Did you mop the floor?! Did you throw away the garbage?! Hinata After working so hard, you still dare to be lazy!"

Naruto had his ears pinched and was about to cry without tears.

Namikaze Karrei was waving flags and shouting for Uzumaki Kushina...

After a while of commotion, at night, Uzumaki Kushina and others left.

Uzumaki Kushina is still telling Hinata about the precautions for pregnancy.

Hinata blushed and nodded.

After everyone left, Hinata looked at Naruto who was slumped on the sofa with a lifeless expression and chuckled, walked over and leaned into Naruto's arms.

"I even wonder if you and I have switched places, and you are my mother's biological child, right?" Naruto complained speechlessly.

"Fuck you." Hinata punched Naruto's chest angrily, and then said with a happy face, "Mom and dad, they just want to have a grandson as soon as possible."

Naruto raised his eyebrows: "How do you know it's a boy? Maybe it's a granddaughter?"

Hinata raised her small fist and struck at Naruto.

Naruto smiled and didn't resist.

"Go take a shower first, you'll smell like you're sweating."

Naruto happily went to prepare for a bath, but at this moment, Hinata's cell phone rang.

Hinata took it over and took a look, then her expression became inexplicable.

Naruto came over and asked, "What happened?"

Hinata handed the phone to Naruto: "The assessment targets for the third round...are out..."

…

The assessment objectives for the third round are very simple.

Although five candidates have withdrawn,...

Ten divisions still exist, and the Shimura family, Hyuga Hinata, Hyuga Neji, Uchiha Shisui, and Nara Shikamaru are still on the candidate list.

And the assessment goal of the five of them is...

Set goals at will and pull the other party down from the position of partition manager.

Well, I also made a note, no matter what method is used.

To put it simply, this round is a direct personal attack.

What You Ya wants to see is naturally not the individual development of these five guys and He Qiqi.

You have to have some conflict!

You have no conflict. When you get to the top, I don’t know if you can handle other people’s attacks.

It just so happens that there are only five people now, so let's have a big melee.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

But there is one thing to say...

Nara Shikamaru actually didn't quit, which Yuya didn't expect.

Well, Nara Shikamaru also had something to say. He definitely wanted to quit the show.

But the people in his family don’t want to!

The Nara clan does not fight for it, and they are not even interested in the position of Hokage.

But you can't just show off your ability without showing it off, right?

Nara Shikamaru was also speechless.

His grandma would have known if she could just find someone to marry and count balls.

only……

Whenever he has this idea, or his parents urge him to get married...

Nara Shikamaru's mind couldn't help but think of the girl who had beaten him severely in the Chunin Exam...

I don’t know about that girl…

What's going on now...

Forget it, don’t think about it so much, let’s think about how to deal with these things first.

This third round of assessment caught them all off guard.

And no matter what, we all belong to the same village. If you directly attack the other party, wouldn't the impact be bad?

So everyone was very reserved at first.

Until the boy from the Shimura clan took the lead and couldn't help it.

In his own area, he began to ask people to collect some black materials in the areas related to Hyuga Neji. For example, people were exploited here. Most of the hard-working delivery boys and factory employees in the village were in the area managed by Hyuga Neji.

Then he attacked Shisui's jurisdiction, saying that disclosing other people's information violated their privacy rights.

Hinata Neji was a little confused. No, we are from the same village, so it shouldn't be like this, right?

Is it like this for the sake of being the Hokage?

You Ya quite admires this boy's ability.

After assuming the position of Hokage, being merciful and merciless is fatal.

And just when Youya was ready to watch the performances of these candidates.

In March of Konoha 69, Gaara of Sunagakure Village came to Konoha Village with his own bodyguards.

He came for help.

Hokage Office:

Yuya looked at Gaara in confusion, and then asked again as if he didn't hear clearly: "Wait, wait, what did you say? What happened to Sunagakure Village?!"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Gaara's face, but he hid it well immediately. Then he bowed solemnly to Yuya and said, "There is a flood in Sunagakure Village. The canal embankment was destroyed. Now the village is flooded. It's raging, I'm here to ask for your help."

Yuya rubbed his eyebrows: "Shayin Village...in the desert...there's a flood..."

Yuya looked at Gaara: "Are you sure you're not teasing me?"

Gaara's face turned red.

To be honest, it was really embarrassing.

"Yes, please help us through this difficult time..." Gaara said sincerely.

Yuya sighed, thought for a while, and nodded to Gaara: "Okay, I'll send some craftsmen and professional sand guards over, and you guys can...

Hiss, wait..."

Yuya stretched out his hand.

Then Yuya began to think carefully.

After a long time, Yuya raised his head and looked at Gaara: "I know, I'll send someone to help."

Gaara was a little confused, but he didn't say anything.

He nodded and left with his team.

As for his team members...

That was naturally Kankuro and Temari.

After the others left, Yuya touched his chin and began to think.

No matter what kind of arrangement, it is not as good as real events.

In that case...

...

"Huh? Going to the Sand Village to help with the disaster?" Hinata looked at Shizune, who was responsible for delivering the message to her, with a surprised look on her face.

Shizune nodded: "That's what Lord Hokage arranged. He also said that Lord Hokage will go with you for the disaster relief, but he won't interfere with your decision. Of course, all the decisions you make only represent your own."

Hinata nodded thoughtfully.

Then Shizune left.

That night, Hinata talked about this with Naruto.

Naruto looked at Hinata's already slightly bulging belly and asked worriedly: "Can you not go?"

Hinata shook her head: "It should be impossible, unless..."

Naruto was silent: "Unless you give up the position of Hokage candidate..."

Hinata smiled and leaned on Naruto's arms: "You know it very well.

Don't worry, I will be fine."

Naruto looked at Hinata and thought for a while and said: "I want to go too."

Hinata looked at Naruto in surprise: "You are going too?"

Naruto nodded: "I am worried about your safety, of course I will go together, even if I am just your bodyguard."

Hinata thought about it and smiled: "Indeed, this is good, we will go together, to rescue the disaster."

The next day, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina heard about this incident and strongly requested to go together.

It's just a pity that before they could take action, Yuya's transfer letter came.

The two were responsible for the security of Konoha for the next month.

It was obvious that they didn't want them to help.

Namikaze Minato immediately noticed something was wrong, and then he asked his own question: "Are you the only ones going to the disaster relief this time, or are there others?"

Hinata blinked and said: "There are other candidates for Hokage."

Namikaze Minato suddenly realized: "I see."

He understood that the so-called disaster relief this time was probably just a side job.

The real important thing...

is that the Hokage wants to examine these people to see if they are qualified to be the next Hokage...
