The World is in Chaos

The catastrophe has come.

It's no wonder that the Minister of Finance ran up to Makoto, who was always very thoughtful, and asked him if there was anything he could do, regardless of face.

The salary cut is indeed much more terrifying than the death of the daimyo or other big countries attacking the Land of Fire.

Moreover, this issue cannot be left unaddressed, or it can simply be delayed for decades, waiting for the daimyo to die of old age.

Everyone in the Land of Fire is extremely worried about this – it's not that the great nobles will die without this salary, but it's their money!

Makoto also felt that this matter was difficult to do, but he vaguely felt that this was an opportunity.

He discussed with the Minister of Finance for a long time, but there was no good result. Finally, he decided to hold a meeting and ask his friends to find a solution together.

Two people count the short, three people count the long, maybe you have an idea?

So Makoto's friends came to the meeting room together.

"Land of Fire's salary cut... Isn't that a good thing? –

"Although we are old friends, I still want to say that some people's salaries are too high. If they lower their salaries, they can spend the money on more meaningful people and things. –

"They won't starve to death anyway."

The first to speak was the Sandaime.

After all, he has the oldest qualifications, and the old-school Sengoku ninja is indeed the worst at this.

Makoto looked at him with an embarrassed yet polite expression.

"You are absolutely right. –

"But that's not what we're talking about right now."

The Sandaime took two puffs on the pipe, and laughed at himself.

"I'm old..."

The old-school Sengoku ninjas are really not good at thinking about this, that's why they have been suppressed for so many years.

All these years of beating life and death, but nothing came out.

If Naruto's generation hadn't forcibly interrupted the battle, it is estimated that the fight would continue.

Of course, old-school ninjas aren't without their cuteness.

For example – if they weren't so good, Makoto wouldn't be able to kick out all the Konoha elders as uncles like this.

T/N: From chapter 49, 'uncles', 'shu-fu bei', word-by-word translation is 'uncle generation'; it means the attitude towards 'uncles' is that those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish

Rights are something that no one will refuse.

Konoha, as the most powerful existence among the five great ninja villages, naturally has the most Sengoku ninjas in it.

Or rather, conservatives.

Looking at the Four Great Hidden Villages, you can see how troublesome these 'uncles' are.

Still getting older and more stubborn.

Everything that was invented before I was born is taken for granted.

Everything invented between the ages of 15–35 was destined to change the world.

The same goes for thoughts.

It was a very laborious task to clean them up... Fortunately, they are not good at making money. And when they reacted, they had completely lost the initiative.

Or go to be a decent uncle, receive three festivals and two respects every day, and everyone has time to play tea circles. Or go to see the reservoir, choose whatever you want.

Makoto looked at Gai.

Don't ask Gai why he's here.

This is not a formal meeting per se.

Konoha's Green Beast will definitely have a place in the core layer in the future.

As long as Eight Gate Gai is around, Konoha can always sit back and relax.

Even if he himself is a jellyfish head...he can do without a head.

Makoto looked at Gai, and being so concerned by Hokage, Gai immediately gave a thumbs up, and his blood began to burn.

"Hokage-sama, I don't know! But when I think of Konoha in such a crisis, my blood starts to burn... Maybe, this is Youth™!"

"Very good, very energetic. Then go out and run 10,000 laps around Konoha."

"Yes!"

Gai responded loudly, and ran out of the meeting room on his head, to start his youthful practice.

After throwing Gai out, Makoto looked at Shisui.

"It's...it's not for me to answer this kind of question...but if you ask..."

After all, he grew up in a big clan, so Shisui is very concerned about the status of seniors and juniors. After hesitating for a moment, he replied.

"Perhaps, I can use genjutsu... to interfere with Daimyo's thoughts?"

So is that why you have Kotoamatsukami in the future?

"Very good, great idea and has great success rate."

"However, there are skilled guards around the daimyo. If you can't handle one, Konoha will be very embarrassed... Let's talk about it after you have developed an genjutsu that can be completely undetected."

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"It doesn't matter, you are just answering me seriously as a subordinate. Everyone can speak freely, don't be taboo, I am notoriously refined and easy-going, and I won't blame you for it...Kakashi, how about you?"

Kakashi propped his chin, looking at Makoto boredly.

"Maybe it's just Daimyo's whim... For example, you always list countless things you want to do on weekends, including fitness and so on, but in the end, you just lie in Minazuki-san's arms and read manga..."

"Indeed."

Makoto nodded.

The genjutsu starts instantly.

"You like to crossdress."

God damn, is there not a single decent person?

I knew I wouldn't have sent Kabuto to Orochimaru!

... ...

Makoto really regretted it, why did he send Kabuto to Orochimaru at this time.

However, Orochimaru has already gone to do that super S-level mission. Before this guy wastes his money, he probably won't think about contacting Konoha.

Right now it's really... let's investigate in detail first.

Makoto always felt a little strange why the daimyo suddenly had such an idea.

If you want to say that after so many years, the daimyo doesn't know what's going on with those people below, the probability is really low.

But since he knew, why did he do it again?

Could it be that...someone slandered and wanted to reshuffle the political structure of the Land of Fire?

Yagura, is that you?

After the Fourth Ninja World War, the situation in the Land of Fire has been relatively stable, and there have been no major fluctuations. After Makoto thought about it, it was only this good friend who he wanted to stab to death all the time.

He did have reasons for doing so.

If you can't move Konoha, then move Konoha's foundation, the Land of Fire.

"It's just that if that's the case, it's equivalent to turning against me directly... With his character, it shouldn't be too late. –

"He's only just started working on his cannery."

Makoto couldn't figure it out, so he released two B-level missions for the ninjas to investigate.

As Hokage, he has this privilege.

If you can't figure out one thing, let the ninjas look for relevant clues.

This is what ninjas are best at anyway.

Soon, the ninjas found out the reason.

When the senior officials at the ministerial level were puzzled, Makoto had already obtained the exact information from the ninja.

For a moment, Makoto felt a bit like Hoover.

...But that's a small problem.

Makoto: "So, the reason for everything is just a drunk bragging?"

Kakashi: "I'm afraid so, Hokage-sama."

After an investigation by professional ninjas, Makoto already knew the reason.

The reason why daimyo gave such an abrupt order was because the daimyo bragged to his relatives at a reception not long ago.

Men, it's normal.

That wonderful competitive heart always makes men get bigger and bigger.

So far, Makoto has never seen one who is getting smaller and smaller.

In the past, it was up to 18, but now it is wrapped around the waist, and it is almost a standard configuration.

After the daimyo and his relatives got drunk, it was actually no different.

It's just a little bit painful, what the two of them are bragging about...

"The daimyo's relative of the Land of Demons said that their Land of Demons can be brought back to life. –

"And the daimyo said that the officials of their Land of Fire can walk like flying. Obviously, the daimyo is quite familiar with the management of the body of his subordinates. When he is bragging, he dares to say that... Fortunately, the Land of Demons is not much better."

Just blow it, the more they blow it, the more dissatisfied they are with each other.

Under normal circumstances, both sides will start soloing.

And it did start.

The Land of Fire daimyo asked to see the resurrection of the Land of Demons.

And his relatives in the Land of Demons asked to see the swiftness of the Land of Fire.

The Land of Fire daimyo later sobered up, but the bull had already blown out, so he was extremely distressed.

After all, he is a daimyo, and it would be embarrassing if he said he couldn't do it.

The daimyo is not as free and easy as Makoto, who can say "I love you" to Yugito in public.

Makoto: "What's so difficult about this? Let the Lannd of Demons figure out a way to bring the dead back to life first, and then use it to revive those who were killed by the nobles of the Land of Fire. I guarantee that they will run faster than one by one."

Kakashi: "That's true... But obviously, the Land of Demons won't do that. The idea of the daimyo is to let those guys get less money, and lose weight first."

If it's just about losing weight, that's okay... But obviously, the people below don't think so.

Get it wrong, and it will cause chaos in the world.

Kakashi: "Hokage-sama, what should we do now?"

Makoto: "Northern Expedition?"

T/N: 'Northern Expedition' was a military campaign launched by National Revolutionary Army of Kuomintang in 1926

Kakashi: "Hokage-sama, now is not the time to joke."

Makoto: "No, I'm not joking..."

Land of the Sky is about to the north of Konoha.
