Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Chapter 135 Ambition and temptation

Uzumaki Makoto took a breath and saw that Shirataki was not moved at all, but his vague expression seemed to indicate that he was listening carefully.

So, he mustered up the courage and whispered in a low voice, "First of all, I don't think you have had contact with the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki before."

"Secondly, the position of the Six-Tailed Jinchuuriki is changing at any time. If you want to transfer the Tailed Beast Jade to him, the coordinates must also change with that guy at any time."

"That is to say, you must have a companion lurking near the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, waiting for the moment when you transfer the Tailed Beast Jade to send the coordinates to the Six-Tails Jinchuriki."

"This person is either a very powerful ninja, or a spy you placed beside the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki in Kirigakure Village."

"So, I prefer that you have a powerful companion who has been waiting for the opportunity to throw out the coordinates."

After speaking this long series of words quickly, Uzumaki Makoto retracted his leaning body and straightened his back again. He spread his hands seemingly helplessly, but said with admiration in his tone.

"I have to say that I am indeed your companion. I can accurately find the location of the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki and quickly set the coordinates without alerting many mist ninjas. This ability is not something ordinary people can do."

"At least, no one in the Uzumaki clan, including the clan leader, can do it."

Shirataki slowly turned his head and looked directly at Uzumaki Makoto. The look in his eyes was a bit unclear for a moment. It was hard to tell whether he was speechless or happy, but one thing was clearly expressed.

That is, Shirataki is not indifferent to Uzumaki Makoto's long series of analysis and the final conclusion reached by the other party.

Seeing that something seemed amiss with Shirataki, Uzumaki Makoto felt his heart skip a beat. He couldn't help but straighten his face and said quickly, "Master Shirataki, I didn't mean to pry into your secrets. I'm just curious about your motive for lying to the clan leader."

After the words fell, Uzumaki Makoto seemed to feel that it was not enough, and added, "Of course, you are also very strong, not inferior to your companion in the slightest."

"The cooperation between you two can be said to be flawless. All the ninjas in Kirigakure, including the jinchūriki and the Mizukage, are simply a bunch of fools and blinders in front of you."

Maybe Uzumaki Makoto's flattery had some effect, or maybe Shirataki didn't intend to explain anything to the other party. In short, the first thing Shirataki said again was "Why are you telling me this?"

Shirataki seemed to have no intention of answering Uzumaki Makoto, and Uzumaki Makoto also knew enough not to continue asking. He decisively followed Shirataki's topic and answered, "The purpose is very simple. I want to show my value to get your help."

"Help?" Shirataki looked at Uzumaki Cheng strangely, and asked pretending not to know, "I'm sitting here now, isn't it just helping the Uzumaki clan?"

Due to the conversation just now, Shirataki did not deny his analysis and judgment, so while Uzumaki Makoto confirmed some of the guesses in his mind, he also had a three-dimensional impression of Shirataki's character.

If coupled with the information about the opponent learned from inside Konoha, Uzumaki Makoto quickly concluded that Shirataki was pretending to be confused.

However, he did not feel anxious because of this. The conversation had already begun. Since Shirataki did not choose to avoid the meeting and leave directly, this meant that there was still room for communication.

However, since Shirataki was unwilling to take the initiative to tell the truth, Uzumaki Makoto naturally would not take the risk of leaving any clues. He glanced around without leaving a trace. Seeing that no one in the scene was paying attention to himself and Shirataki, he whispered Replied "I know a little bit about you, Uzumaki Shirataki-sama. So I think there is a possibility of cooperation between us."

"Do you know what I'm after?" Shirataki glanced at Uzumaki Makoto in surprise. Without waiting for the other party to react, Shirataki continued slowly, "It seems that your purpose is not simple. Tell me. What can you give and what do you want from me?" What do I get from this?”

The topic finally turned in the direction he expected. Uzumaki couldn't help but take a deep breath. After adjusting his nervous mentality, he slowly replied, "I can give a lot, more than enough to pay for what I want."

"As for what I want to get," he glanced at the direction of the Uzumaki clan leader. Uzumaki Makoto said nothing, but Shirataki somehow understood the other person's meaning.

Uzumaki Makoto, this guy most likely wants to plot against the Uzumaki clan leader, and as his motive, Shirataki estimates that the other party wants to sit on the throne of the clan leader. Due to the limited occasion, all communication was in silence, but Shirataki still quickly understood Uzumaki Makoto's purpose.

Recalling the impression Uzumaki Makoto had on him when he first met him, Shirataki smiled slightly. Although he didn't reply, he secretly said in his heart, "This man really understands me."

Uzumaki Makoto's ambition revealed in front of Shirataki at this moment did not surprise Shirataki. After all, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This principle applies everywhere. Uzumaki Village is not a paradise. When the Qianhao tribe comes down, how many people are born? It is perfectly normal to be a careerist.

However, compared to Uzumaki Makoto's motives and goals, Shirataki is more concerned about where the Uzumaki clan will go in the future. Even if Kirigakure is defeated this time, Shirataki cannot stay in Uzushio Village forever. If the current Uzumaki clan leader is forced to step down, and Uzumaki Makoto, an ambitious man, is supported in power, will the Uzumaki clan be able to join Konoha?

At present, it seems that the current Uzumaki clan leader has a more upright character and a bad temper. If he puts it more directly, he has no brains. This is the conclusion Shirataki can draw after just half a day of contact with him.

Choosing to open up the conversation with the Uzumaki clan leader, Shirataki estimated that there was a high probability that he would hit a wall. But Uzumaki Makoto is different. This man is undoubtedly a smart man. Judging from his words and deeds, as well as his previous performance on the city, Shirataki thinks that this guy should be a sensible person, at least not as confused as the Uzumaki clan leader.

As for Shirataki, he always likes to cooperate with smart people, because this allows him to exclude many topics such as "emotions" or "beliefs" in the conversation, and only needs to focus on the interests of everything. All kinds of thoughts quickly passed through his mind. Bai Taki seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, he had something moving in his heart.

However, directly throwing his bargaining chips and demands at Uzumaki Makoto was not in line with his current position and situation, so he decided to test the other party again and let the other party take the initiative to say something, "You are a real person. There's just one thing I don't understand."

Shirataki looked at Uzumaki Makoto with a smile, slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, and asked in a slightly more serious tone, "If you tell me your desires openly like this, you are not afraid that I will tell you about it." Does the head of the family know?"

"When the time comes, I'm afraid you will not only lose your position as commander-in-chief of the Western Wall, but your life may also be in danger." Shirataki did not directly take the topic to the next step. Instead, he asked a very pointed question, Uzumaki Cheng knew that on the surface the other party was trying to scare him, but in reality he was probably bargaining and wanted to see his sincerity.

"You won't do this." He gave a conclusion calmly. Seeing that Shirataki seemed to be unconvinced, Uzumaki couldn't help coughing slightly, and slowly added, "First of all, among the people present, I am the only one who knows your pursuit.”

"What you desire is to obtain the sealed book, right?" Although it was a question, Uzumaki Cheng's expression was very determined when he spoke. Then, without waiting for Shirataki's answer, he continued, "I heard Yuya tell you about it many years ago. As for your status, as long as I become the clan leader, the sealed book will be entrusted to you for safekeeping."

After mentioning it for a moment, Uzumaki Makoto said no more. After all, there were other people around at this time, so someone might notice the conversation. It was hard for him to be too explicit or too detailed. But he felt that this content alone was enough for Bai Taki to understand the sincerity he showed.

So, Uzumaki Makoto quickly threw out his second chip. "After this war, although the clan leaders still seem to think that Uzumaki Village's defense is impregnable, I know it clearly."

"Even if Kirigakure is defeated and retreats tomorrow, the opponent is one of the Great Ninja Villages after all. If he regroups and attacks our clan again and again in the days to come, our clan will one day be defeated. Up here.”

"Now is the era when the Great Ninja Village is divided. The strength of one clan cannot fight against a whole village."

"The clan leader may or may not understand this, but judging from his usual behavior, he seems to still be immersed in the old glory that the name Uzumaki has brought to him, and is unwilling to take any actual action. "

Speaking of this, Uzumaki Cheng inadvertently glanced in the direction of the Uzumaki Clan Leader, with a faint hint of disdain in his eyes. He quickly passed over the topic related to the Uzumaki Clan Leader in his mouth, and then continued, "If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. I am the clan leader, so my first decision is to move my clan to Konoha."

"When the time comes." After a pause, Uzumaki Makoto turned his head, looked at Shirataki thoughtfully, and completed the second chip he could give. "No matter what your goal is, our clan will become your ally." , add strength to your grand ambition.”

The sudden appearance of the word "Hongtu Hegemony" made Shirataki secretly vigilant. He didn't know where Uzumaki Cheng got these incorrect information. Although Uzumaki Makoto is very far-sighted and has already thought of moving the Uzumaki clan to Konoha, if this person will involve the Uzumaki clan in the meat grinder inside Konoha, Shirataki needs to reconsider.

"What's wrong with Yuya-sister, and Mamaru Shino?" Shirataki did not answer Uzumaki Makoto's words, but was concerned about Uzumaki Yuya who often treated him when he was a child, although the relationship between the two was not the same. It was too good, but the other party was one of the few Uzumaki clan members willing to contact him.

"Yuya died together with Asamaru in the disaster that destroyed the country. Your wet nurse, Uzumaki Shino, was also brutally murdered by the ninjas of Kirigakure Village in that disaster." Uzumaki Cheng knew what Shirataki was worried about. , he didn’t bother anymore, but quickly answered Shirataki’s question.

Shirataki rarely showed nostalgic and sad emotions. After a while, he suddenly stood up and whispered to Uzumaki Makoto, "Come out with me and we'll talk outside." At the door, he opened the rolling shutter door and slipped out quietly.

Uzumaki Makoto did not hesitate at all. He also stood up and left the table with gentle steps, without attracting the attention of other people in the room.
