The genius of Naruto is a bit ordinary

After Nara Shikaku left, not long after, another figure came to the Hokage's office.

This gave Xia Li a headache. She felt that there were too many things going on. She hoped that this meeting could achieve a good result.

If it can't, no, it can't be impossible, in other words.

Xia Li had already made a decision. In fact, this meeting was just to inform them.

However, Xia Li still hopes that they can be more sensible and agree to these proposals directly if they see that they are beneficial to them.

Otherwise, asking him to use force to solve problems would appear to be a bit of a violent dictatorship.

Xia Li rubbed his forehead and said, "Come in."

The next moment, an ANBU with no pattern walked in, and Xia Li's eyes lit up when she saw it.

This is the same mask as when he was an ANBU, and now only Sasuke is using it.

So, after several days of searching the house, is it finally over?

"Lord Hokage, here are some resources owned by the roots and a list of everyone in the roots." Sasuke said and handed Xia Li a scroll.

Xia Li took the scroll and said, "There are no outsiders here, just call me Xia Li."

"Yes, Xia Li." Sasuke looked around and nodded after looking around, and then took off his mask.

It had to be said that apart from some elders, Naruto was probably the only one who could still call Xia Li by his previous title in front of everyone as if nothing had happened.

"This is the right thing." Xia Li said, opening the scroll and reading it, and then quickly raised his eyebrows.

To be honest, the resources at the roots were less than Xia Li imagined. It was probably because they were really blackmailed by Orochimaru, but even so it was not too much.

Even Danzo is still squeezing his own family, and many resources are taken directly from the family...

And Sasuke had been ransacking his house for so long. In fact, most of the time he was checking some experimental resources, which took a lot of time to collect.

It can be said that Danzo really does not care for anything else, only for the position of Hokage and his own strength.

However, Danzo is the type who doesn't think hard work is of any use, so after his strength reaches a certain level, he turns his attention to experiments, hoping to use the results of experiments to strengthen himself.

This view is not wrong, after all, in this world where the upper limit is locked, there is indeed an upper limit to your efforts.

Xia Li looked at the large pile of experimental materials and experimental results on the scroll. There were some that he had heard of and not heard of before, and most of them were a bit creepy just by looking at them on the scroll.

It would be unjustifiable for these experiments to be considered crimes against humanity in previous lives.

Then, Xia Li also saw the first-generation cells that he was most concerned about. Sure enough, there were still stocks, and these amounts were enough for him to use.

After reading what he cared about, Xia Li also looked at the list at the bottom. Most of them were not worthy of attention, but Xia Li's eyes finally stopped on a figure and looked at it for a long time.

"Xia Li, all the members of the Roots have been taken under control, what should we do?" Sasuke asked when he saw that Xia Li didn't move after reading the list.

Xia Li tapped her head with her fingers, not expecting to see him here.

As for who it was, of course it was Sai who married into the Yamanaka family in the original work. If he hadn't seen his name here, Xia Li would have almost forgotten that this person existed.

Xia Li still had mixed feelings about Saoi, but he wasn't particularly hostile. After all, neither the other party nor Ino had ever met before, so there was nothing to be hostile to.

Of course, he didn't feel guilty about stealing the other person's first wife. After all, first come, first served. Since he was in front, there was nothing to feel guilty about.

As long as he doesn't break up the couple who are already together, then Xia Li won't feel any guilt and has nothing to feel guilty about.

At this time, Xia Li also heard Sasuke's question. After thinking for a while, he said, "Scatter them into the ANBU. Of course, let the ANBU keep an eye on them more."

Xia Li also didn't think about letting the people in the Roots go directly, although Xia Li felt that there were probably not many people inside who really wanted to stay in the Roots, and most of them did so because of Danzo's threat and the existence of the Tongue-Breaking Root Seal. It has to stay at the root.

Of course, some members of the Shimura family need to focus on it.

"Yeah." Sasuke nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Also, this guy named Sai, let him join Tianzang's team." Xia Li pointed at Sai on the scroll and said suddenly.

Sasuke looked at Xia Li with some confusion. Although he said it was not impossible, why did he suddenly assign someone to Tenzo's team?

Is there anything special about this one? Sasuke looked at it and couldn't see what was so special about Sai, was he just more girly?

Xia Li also saw Sasuke's doubts and replied, "I knew him before. His abilities are quite unique and outstanding. It would be a good choice if he could use them for his own use."

Xia Li also thought about her decision for a while. After all, without the influence of Naruto's Mouth Release, Saoi should still be the little guy who doesn't understand emotions.

This seems to be very similar to Tenzo's childhood, so handing Sai to Tenzo should be the most suitable choice.

Even without Naruto's help, Xia Li believed that Tianzang would slowly help Sai to go on the right path.

And with Sakai's character, even if he takes the right path, it will not affect the other party's seriousness in doing things, so he will probably have another very useful subordinate, which is gratifying.

Sasuke nodded, indicating that he understood what to do.

"Xia Li, Captain Tenzang and I are at the same level. It doesn't seem suitable for me to insert people into the opponent's team." Sasuke thought for a moment and suddenly realized something. Xia Li should do it himself. most.

"Huh? It seems so. You and Tianzang are both ANBU captains." Xia Li thought about it and realized that the position of ANBU captain has not been vacated yet, and it is not easy to let Sasuke take the position directly.

However, this is not difficult to deal with. The current ANBU captain is originally from the same era as those advisors.

The other party had already reached the age of retirement. He had not retired before, but there was no suitable successor. Moreover, Tsunade had no special ideas about this position, so she just took it like that.

In most matters, the current ANBU captain only assigns ANBU members to help, and he can't do much to help.

Therefore, now we only need to give the current ANBU captain a sinecure with an inflated status so that he can retire.

"This is for you. Wait for a while. The ANBU captain is about to retire. When the time comes, you will come up to assist me. I need the ANBU to monitor Konoha's secret movements." Xia Li handed Sasuke a Hokage certification seal and said.

"Okay." Sasuke also nodded.

"In this way, Itachi's position has finally reached the position of squad leader. Now you have surpassed him in all aspects." Xia Li suddenly said.

"But it doesn't make much sense to compare with this." Sasuke said. "Even before I became a Jonin in Konoha and surpassed him, it doesn't make much sense."

"It's not that the other party doesn't have the strength to become a Jonin, nor does it have the ability to become the captain, it's just that he doesn't have the opportunity."

Xia Li also nodded when he heard this. Itachi said that becoming a squad leader is actually equivalent to a Jonin, even without Mangekyo, but he performed his only S-level mission before he could be promoted to a Jonin. .

Thinking of Weasel, Xia Li suddenly thought of Kaleidoscope, and couldn't help but ask.

"How's your Sharingan doing? Is there any chance you can use Mangekyo?"

After all, there is a big difference between whether the Sharingan can open the Kaleidoscope or not.

"I feel like it should be soon." Sasuke said, as his dark eyes instantly turned into three Magatama Sharingan eyes, and then, they seemed to have a pattern-changing trend unique to a kaleidoscope.

Xia Li also stared at Sasuke's Sharingan, and then nodded. It seemed that he had indeed reached the last step. He should be able to activate the Mangekoscope with just some stimulation.

At this time, Xia Li was also a little hesitant. He had considered Sasuke's kaleidoscope before and made some preparations for it, but...

Xia Li looked at Sasuke, suddenly sighed, and asked, "Sasuke, are you willing to use the traditional method of opening kaleidoscope eyes to open a kaleidoscope?"

"I won't use that method." Sasuke replied directly and decisively after hearing this.

"That's it, let's forget it." Xia Li also nodded, thankful that he hadn't had time to do that yet.

At this time, Sasuke also looked at Xia Li with some confusion and asked, "Xia Li, have you thought of any way to open my eyes?"

"Well, of course, it's a more traditional method, but I think you don't seem to want to use that method. Now that I ask, it turns out that's true."

"Can I know the specific method?" Sasuke was also a little interested in this.

"Well, you should know about Konoha's Kurama clan, right?" Xia Li nodded and had no intention of hiding it.

"I know, but as far as I know, they should have been lonely. There hasn't been a clan member in the family who has inherited the bloodline for a long time." Sasuke suddenly realized something as he said this, and looked at Xia Li in surprise. , could it be?

Xia Li nodded and said, "Kurama Yakumo, she has inherited the blood of the Kurama clan, and she also owes me a favor and promised to do something for me."

"But, can her words alone help me open the kaleidoscope?" Sasuke frowned, he still didn't believe it.

"The blood successors of the Kurama clan are relatively unique. The stronger the five senses, the easier it is to fall into hallucinations, and it is not easy to get out of them, even with white eyes." Xia Li said.

"Can't you just roll your eyes?" Sasuke was completely surprised this time.

Because in terms of insight, the Sharingan is definitely inferior to the Byakugan. If the Byakugan can't see through, it means that his Sharingan probably can't see through the illusion.

In addition to the Sharingan, is there such a powerful genjutsu?

"Yes, I'm pretty sure that the Byakugan will only sink deeper." Xia Li nodded and said. In his memory, Hyuga Neji did not have a blood successor who could rely on the Byakugan to break away from the Kurama clan.

Therefore, it is certain that the Byakugan and the Sharingan are probably not good, and even the Mangekyo may not be as powerful as the Byakugan in terms of insight.

Of course, Xia Li is not sure whether the Samsara Eye and the Reincarnation Eye can see through it. Probably... they can still see through it. After all, those two are indeed the top powers in the world.

Xia Li looked at Sasuke who was still in shock, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and continued.

"Besides, I don't plan to rely solely on the blood of the Kurama clan."

After hearing this, Sasuke slightly suppressed his shocked thoughts and looked at Xia Li.

"You know the Yamanaka Clan's Heart Turning Technique, and I also know a similar ninjutsu." Xia Li looked at Sasuke and said with interest.

"I originally wanted to use spiritual transformation to enter your body, and then pretend to be your dark side to do something."

To be honest, he actually wanted to give it a try. Xia Li thought it would be quite fun if he followed his idea.

"Furthermore, I once asked Ino, who is very knowledgeable about spirituality, so I am sure that after entering your body with my soul, I will make you think that I am a part of you."

As he said this, Xia Li looked at Sasuke with a smile as sweat broke out on his forehead as he listened.

"And you should know what I will do next, right?"

Sasuke looked at Xia Li as if he were looking at a devil. He nodded after hearing this, swallowed a mouthful of water to calm down his shock, and then spoke.

"Then let the blood successor of the Kurama clan activate and let me kill the people close to me with my own hands in the hallucination."

Xia Li also nodded, indicating that Sasuke's words were right.

Sasuke wiped his sweat. He had no doubts about whether Xia Li could control him. After all, almost everyone knew how powerful Xia Li was, and he knew it even more.

Just listening to Xia Li's previous plan, Sasuke felt his whole body being wet with cold sweat.

If he were just the blood heir of the Kurama clan, then he felt that although he might not be able to see through illusions, he might still be able to realize that he was in an illusion.

But what if Xia Li's soul is still in her body? That was a real soul, a combination of real and fake. Could he still detect something was wrong?

And based on Sasuke's understanding of Xia Li, he would never be so honest after disguising his dark side, and would definitely use words to force him into a desperate situation.

Then he watched himself killing the people closest to him in despair. At this time, Sasuke also felt that after these operations, he could definitely successfully activate the kaleidoscope without killing the people close to him in reality.

At this moment, he felt a little suffocated just thinking about it. It was indeed Xia Li who could devise such a method without knowing it.

Fortunately, Sasuke was glad that Xia Li hadn't had time to use this method yet.

Because Sasuke also felt that this method was just consequentialism, and was actually no different from Itachi's path.

So Sasuke doesn't want to use this method even if he feels the success rate is high, and he won't regret it.

This method is useless now, because since he already knows this method, it means that even if he uses it again, Sasuke will already understand everything and will not fall into the deepest despair.

What Sasuke wants now is to truly take a different path from Itachi, and now he has seen hope!

Therefore, Sasuke will not give up and must succeed. Then he will show this path to Itachi and point out that the other party's path is wrong in front of him. It is unnecessary!

Sasuke thought and suddenly looked at Xia Li again. Speaking of which, for those closest to him...

Probably Xia Li, Naruto and Kakashi, so is Xia Li thinking about killing himself?

"What do you think of this method?" Xia Li leaned back on the chair, took a sip from the tea cup next to her and asked with a smile.

"It's very powerful, and it has a high probability of success." Sasuke replied.

"I think so. After all, I originally wanted to find Naruto, Kakashi, and Sakura to come over and help." Xia Li narrowed her eyes and said.

"..."

Sasuke didn't say anything anymore. He could only say that he was worthy of Xia Li, like a devil.

"It's a pity that it can't be used now." Xia Li felt a little pity. After all, if it were him, he would just choose to see the result, as long as no one really died.

Sasuke remained silent, and then told Xia Li his thoughts.

"That's right." Xia Li nodded after hearing this and looked at Sasuke, so the other party should have learned this from him.

If you want to do something, you must do it absolutely and oppose the opponent in all aspects.

"Then you still need to keep working hard."

"Almost." Sasuke clenched his fists at this time, and a bright light appeared in the eyes of the three Magatama Sharingan. He had already seen the hope and the path. As long as he was given time, he would definitely be able to open the kaleidoscope.

"But Itachi may not be able to wait until that time." Xia Li suddenly said.

"What?!" Sasuke opened his eyes wide and looked at Xia Li.

"I don't think I told you. I also met Weasel after I fell into the trap, and I almost killed him at that time. Of course, even if I didn't kill him, I still seriously injured him." Xia Li said.

"Itachi's physical condition was very bad, and coupled with the serious injury that time, he didn't have much time left."

Sasuke's pupils shrank when he heard this. Is this still happening?

He hasn't grown to his peak yet, and he hasn't had time to take revenge himself, but the other party is about to die of illness?

Sasuke couldn't accept this result.

He had nothing to blame for Xia Li's approach of almost killing Weasel.

At that time, Xia Li must have been in danger, and there was really no need to hold back just because he wanted to keep Itachi for him...

So, what should he do now?

Sasuke suddenly felt a little confused. Should he go to Itachi now? But where to find it?

Moreover, his kaleidoscope has not yet been turned on, and the ideal effect has not yet been achieved...

So, is he really unable to take revenge himself?

"Don't worry, he will come to you when he is dying. You don't know his location, but he knows that you are in Konoha." Xia Li looked at the dazed Sasuke and said.

"Really?" Sasuke asked, staring at Xia Li.

"Really." Xia Li nodded. Itachi was still thinking about using his eyes to open the eternal kaleidoscope to Sasuke, so it was impossible not to come. He just didn't know how the other party was going to find Sasuke.

"That's good." Sasuke chose to believe Xia Li.

Then, there is only one thing he has to do now, and that is to continue to shorten time and turn on the kaleidoscope!

At this time, Sasuke put on the mask again, said goodbye to Xia Li and left. Sasuke felt that he could not waste any more time.

Xia Li looked at Sasuke and nodded with a smile, then rubbed his forehead again.

He knew this and told Sasuke that the other party would probably no longer spend time with ANBU recently, which meant that he was missing another capable backbone.

I hope Itachi comes over to find Sasuke quickly. After all, from Xia Li's point of view, even if Sasuke doesn't activate the kaleidoscope now, he definitely has the strength to defeat Itachi with his incomplete sage mode.

That is, Xia Li is not sure whether Sasuke will accept Itachi's eyes to open the eternal kaleidoscope.

Xia Li felt that with Sasuke's current thoughts, he probably wouldn't want to accept it, which made it a bit difficult to handle.

We can only take one step at a time, but if it really doesn’t work, then don’t accept it if you don’t want to.

Xia Li sighed and looked at where the first-generation cells were. After the matter here is over, he will give the first-generation cells to me.

After a long time, Nara Shikaku also returned to the office and reported to Xia Li about the meeting. Basically, he was free now and was already waiting for Xia Li in the conference room.

This is probably the last thing Xia Li has to deal with today.

If the process is successful, it will probably be much easier in the future.

Xia Li followed Nara Shikaku towards the conference room with anticipation.
