Why Don't You Go Fight With the Daimyo of the Land of Water?

Makoto felt that this might be a good opportunity.

Because Land of the Sky is probably in the north of Konoha.

This village that took the technological side route had encountered the disaster of destroying the village before, so no matter what it did, it was very careful, and no news came out after hiding it for so many years.

Even the pervasive Konoha ninja couldn't help it for a while.

But Makoto felt that as long as the opponent existed in the world of Naruto, he would definitely be found. The Sora-nin himself could use various secret methods to hide his tracks, change his appearance, and even seal his own memory, so that he would forget that he was a ninja. But can the resources needed for the development of Land of the Sky be hidden?

Since it is a technological route, steel, coal, and various rare metals are naturally necessary.

Even in a country as huge as the Land of Fire, it is often difficult to get all the necessary raw materials and have to import them from abroad. Land of the Sky dwells at home, just like this to develop technology?

Of course not.

They must have a hidden trade route, but Konoha ninja won't be able to find it for a while.

It can be done.

After all, in the melee of the five major powers before, under the continuous war, the orientation of certain forces is very ambiguous.

Even if Konoha ninja found something wrong with a certain batch of supplies, he might not investigate further.

What if something is found out.

When countries and Hidden Villages start to collide crazily with each other, Infernal Affairs is really pediatrics.

That being the case, then simply block the trade activities in the area where Land of the Sky is located.

The current Land of Fire really has this ability.

Even though Makoto himself was one of the leaders of the Fourth Ninja World War, he still felt that the Fourth Ninja World War was fought like a defense.

There is no trade embargo...

It should be so easy for a big country to deal with a small country, even without using a single soldier, it can trap the opponent to death.

The great nobles cannot directly refute the daimyo, because the daimyo's proposal is beneficial to the Land of Fire. In this case, it is obviously a good choice to divert the daimyo's attention.

Let's beat Sora-nins for a while, everyone is very busy, and the daimyo probably forgot about the salary cut.

At that time, if Makoto comes out as a peacemaker, both sides will win.

Konoha obtains the technology of Sora-nins, the nobles and officials keep their salaries, the daimyo forgets about the bad bragging, and everyone will have a bright future.

But Makoto did not directly express his opinion.

No way, who made ninjas have no tradition of participating in politics and cannot make their own voices.

Even if he is the first brother, there are still three divisions and thirteen bureaus, not to mention the relationship between Konoha and the Land of Fire... is very delicate.

The reason why the Minister of Finance has been playing around with Makoto more is because Makoto has always been able to make money, and he has never forgotten him. The personal relationship between the two parties is actually very good.

Who doesn't love a friend who keeps helping you make money.

You help me, I help you, friendship will come.

There are fewer political considerations.

Not only that, Makoto was not sure about the attitude of many bigwigs in the Land of Fire.

Obviously, it can be seen at a glance that it is harmful to everyone, but the bosses agreed to it because of various considerations. Such things have been happening throughout the ages.

It's not that the bosses are stupid, it's just that they care about other things more.

People are the sum of all social relations, they are never isolated individuals.

Originally, the big D had a great advantage, but Guan Zisen was greedy for the money that the big D gave to Uncle Long Gun, because of this, Long Gun held a grudge, and refused to vote for the big D. In the end, Deng Bo seized the opportunity and made a balanced shot, making Le-bro the talker.

T/N: 'big D' refers to second-in-command/second oldest child; 'Guan Zisen', 'Long Gun', and 'Deng Bo' are from "Election" (2005 Hong Kong crime film); 'Le-bro', also known as 'Lin Huale', is also from the film "Election"

Manchester United is guilty of a heinous crime.

But will Manchester United know these things... This is the most interesting part.

Makoto decided to wait.

No matter how urgent it is, the bosses are the first to be anxious.

Facts have proved that the bosses are indeed very anxious, and they have completely become kings of anxiousness.

Just the next day, the Minister of Finance came forward in person and held a reception, inviting everyone to gather and think of a solution together.

Of course, in order to make things look better, Minister of Finance not only invited friends, but also invited their families and even children to participate.

Makoto also got the invitation, so he naturally went to the appointment on time.

Now that he is also a man with a family, he naturally brought the two children with him.

According to Makoto thinking, Minatsuki should also go with him. However, she, herself, couldn't live up to the idea of being respectful and orderly in her heart, and she went with Temari, which was not suitable. But Temari's father is still there, and it's impossible not to bring Temari into this kind of thing... Makoto didn't blame her, the Third Brother has been doing this for so many years, isn't he still like this.

T/N: 'Third Brother' refers to the character 'Lee Sam' from a 1988 Hong Kong crime film "Hero of Tomorrow"

Let Tsunade do it this time.

It just so happens that she also likes to play with those two cute little dumplings.

T/N: 'little dumplings' refers to children with baby fat

So, Makoto took the little dumplings and Tsunade, dragging Kakashi's calf, regardless of his howling, and took him to the reception of the Minister of Finance.

In fact, Gai should also go with him, he is also one of the most core members of Konoha in the future. It's just his character... Sure enough, it's better to let him run around Konoha for the time being.

Not long after, a group of people arrived at the suburban mansion of Minister-dono.

It was already night, and all the lights in the mansion had been turned on. Looking at it from a distance, Makoto felt a piece of gold and green splendor, shining for several miles, just like a fairyland on earth.

Haku immediately stared straight at her eyes, and her small mouth opened into an o-shape cutely.

Temari was also surprised, she stood in front of the mansion with her little hands open, as if she wanted to hug the whole mansion.

"Whoa...is this the capital of the Land of Fire? It's so big. –

"It's bigger than my house."

Temari is the daughter of the Yondaime Kazekage. From a ninja's point of view, no matter how much her family background is, it can't be considered bad. But the character of the Yondaime Kazekage...

You can say that he is ruthless, but you can never say that he is not loyal enough to the village.

For the sake of the village's combat power, he even used his own son Gaara. If Makoto hadn't messed in, he would have been collecting gold dust for a long time, making his strength progress extremely slowly, and eventually being killed by a surprise attack by Orochimaru.

In this case, one can imagine what the situation in his family is like-not to mention that after his wife died, he never continued.

Makoto didn't have much need for the house, and Temari lived in it all the time, so she didn't feel anything special. As soon as she arrived in the Land of Fire, she immediately felt the difference in life.

Inadvertently, the Land of Fire gave Temari a small capital shock.

But... that's a good thing.

Although it is essentially a bridge connecting the two villages, it is of course a good thing if Temari can be more towards Konoha.

Makoto stepped forward and touched top-hat-wearing Temari on the head.

"Do you like it? When Konoha has money, I'll get you one too."

"Huh? Really?"

"Mhm…"

Temari immediately showed a sweet smile.

In every girl's heart, there is always a princess's dream.

And there is no need for Konoha to pay for this matter.

Makoto deeply knows that power is everything, so what he has been chasing is the absolute power of the Six-Paths.

If it weren't for the involvement of the system, which bound his own strength to Konoha's strength and height, he wouldn't be so exhausted.

But in any case, he is also Hokage, and he has been working for everyone's welfare.

Makoto himself did not take the initiative to ask for it, but everyone is not so blind. Those who can continue as a major clan must have some knowledge... If it is a little dream of Temari, his private money should be enough.

"Very good!"

As soon as Temari heard this, she immediately cheered and jumped up, then rushed into Makoto's arms, and kept rubbing her small face.

"Okay, okay, you husband and wife, don't show your affection anymore... Temari's hair has been done all afternoon, don't make trouble, it's going to be messed up."

Girls from ninja families also have to go to the battlefield, so the requirements for styling are not too strict, and they can be mixed and matched.

But this is a formal reception after all, so have to be serious about the styling.

Makoto himself was wearing the Hokage Robe, there was nothing to modify, and the two dumplings also changed from their previous casualness, and were dressed like dolls.

Haku is wearing a cherry-colored kimono today. There is nothing special about the costume, but it just matches the delicacy and docileness of the women in the Pure-Water country, which makes conservative old men very happy when they see it.

T/N: 'Pure-Water', often refers as gentle, soft, and pure

Temari's dress is much more Western.

Tsunade specially chose a Lolita-style dress for her. Not only was the material exquisite but the skirt was also mixed with a lot of complicated decorations.

Temari itself has snow-like skin and was lovely like fairies, and now they complement each other even more, overflowing with extravagance.

– Well, Makoto admitted that the reason why he made such a big difference in the styles of the two dumplings, instead of directly letting two people of similar ages wear twins, was premeditated.

For nobles, even children should have their own social circle.

Not to mention those who were married from the puddles of the fingers, under the influence of the family, children, big and small, will form circles one after another.

This circle is often very complicated, no less than the girls' dormitory WeChat group.

Even if the children don't understand this, the mothers will take the girls to the women's meeting or something. The more times you do it, the more you will gradually understand.

... It is strange that, like Lam Mui Mui, she is not taken out by the female elders to socialize with women from other wealthy families at all.

T/N: 'Lam Mui Mui' (1912-1968) is a former Chinese actress from Hong Kong that was credited with over 250 films

And in the process of choosing circles, different clothes can also give people different first impressions... Conservatives will not approach Temari, and radicals will not approach Haku. It was the first time for Makoto to participate in this kind of thing, and he would make the screening of some people first, and it would be much easier in the future.

Anyway, with a ninja background like him, it is impossible to please everyone.

Of course, compared to the two dumplings who came here to sit at the children's table and were only responsible for shopping and eating, the most dazzling person today is actually Tsunade.

Tsunade is a very bold woman, from a certain point of view, even a little rough.

But before departure, Minatsuki begged her very seriously, so she finally tidied herself up.

Instead of the yellow rubber shoes and cropped trousers of the past, she casually tied a ponytail and went on the road. Konoha's teacher Tony gave her a hard time.

Tsunade's smooth, blond hair was carefully coiled, twisted around the back of the head, and then braided into a small braid, forming a mature and slightly playful bun.

Today, Tsunade is wearing a pure white evening dress that drags the floor, showing Tsunade's proud figure to his heart's content. The huge pure white tail wings spread out to the sides, making her look like a real princess.

No, she was originally a princess.

Konoha's Tsunade-hime

... Judging by the appearance alone, Makoto is absolutely right to call her 'nee-san'.

If you don't know her background, you can't think of her as a ninja at all. You may think that she is a pampered young lady in a certain family... Well, as long as Tsunade doesn't speak.

There is no way, Tsunade really didn't learn various tea arts and yin and yang skills from her mother.

Her skill to fight in a harem in a palace is zero.

Don't say anything to her like Wanwan Leiqing, she really can't understand.

T/N: 'Wanwan Leiqing' is an internet catchphrase, that refers to "Empresses of the Palace" where the emperor writes a letter to the late Empress Chun Yuan about 'Zhen Huan (nickname is Wan Wan) is very similar to you'

At most, she punched someone against the wall with one punch, and couldn't even undo it.

"What's wrong, looking at me like that?"

Tsunade hardly ever wears an evening gown like this, and she's been wearing armor for a little longer. Feeling the eyes of other people around her, she was somewhat uncomfortable.

Especially Makoto's.

"Well... the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Makoto said nonsense vaguely, regardless of Tsunade's thoughts, he motioned for Tsunade to put Temari on his shoulders, and continued to lead everyone towards the inside.

The Minister of Finance is the organizer of this reception. Makoto was about to go over to say hello to the other party first, to find out what to say, but who knows, when he walked down the aisle with Tsunade and the dumplings, he bumped into two old acquaintances.

The old acquaintances were also surprised, obviously they didn't expect to meet Makoto here.

– It was Mizukage Yagura and Terumi Mei.

Even if the two sides have ceased fighting now, because of some past grievances, the officials of the Land of Fire will not invite the officials of the Land of Water at this time.

Not to mention the ninjas of the Land of Water.

Even Kage and his guards can't do it – the ninjas implement the advanced imperial guard succession method, and the guards around Kage will most likely be the next Kage.

It's okay once or twice, Yagura takes Terumi Mei with him all day long, and Terumi Mei is not his daughter, his thoughts can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart.

T/N: 'Sima Zhao', a military general, polician, and regent of the state of Cao Wei during the time of Three Kingdoms

– It's not Yagura, who is 1.4 meters tall, and wants a pony to carry a big cart! Yagura has a wife!

Makoto was surprised to see Yagura.

In the original work, Terumi Mei did take over as Mizukage.

Makoto was surprised to see Yagura.

Yagura was also surprised to see Makoto.

So the two Kages laughed immediately.

"Isn't this my half-brother Suo Makoto!"

"Isn't this my dear friend, brother Karatachi Yagura!"

The two smiled and immediately gave each other a big hug.

"Yagura, you bastard! How did you come in? There's no way you have an invitation, right? Those guards outside who were hired at a high price didn't trouble you?"

"How did I come in? I just walked in." Yagura turned around proudly, and showed Makoto the blue repairman's uniform on his body, "I changed into this suit, then bought a ladder at the grocery store, and just walked in without anyone stopping me."

Makoto had nothing to say about this.

This Mizukage is really outrageous.

Nor was he afraid of being caught and causing a diplomatic incident.

But he got in...

"This- Terumi Mei, you... You are so beautiful."

Makoto originally wanted to ask Terumi Mei, but after seeing Terumi Mei's outfit today, he didn't bother to ask.

When they met last time, Terumi Mei was dressed in a white shirt and black skirt, but today she changed into a black evening dress, put on glasses, and was holding a delicate small bag in her hand.

Seeing Makoto appear, Terumi Mei seemed very happy.

She seemed to have something to say, but Tsunade and Yagura were in front, and she still couldn't say a word after all.

The skin of the women on Kirigakure seems to be better, and Terumi Mei looks flawless. No matter how you look at it, this is a famous lady.

Just find an invitee who is old and dim-sighted, and he will be brought in as a family member... Can the guard stop her and ask her what is their relationship with the old man next to her?

It would be embarrassing if it was a lover.

"What kind of eyes are you... It's reverse psychic, bastard!"

...This guy can solve problems in a ninja way.

"Then why don't you come in with Summoning Technique?"

"Shh, let's not talk about this..."

Yagura, who was dressed as a repairman, put his finger in front of his lips, and led Makoto into a small auditorium.

All kinds of drinks and food have been prepared in the small auditorium, but no nobles have come over yet.

Makoto gave Tsunade a look, Tsunade nodded knowingly, and took the two dumplings to the child's table.

There, there will be dedicated servants to take care of the children.

Not long after, Tsunade returned, and the few people started talking about business.

As soon as Yugara came up, he started to pour out bitter water.

"Makoto, I congratulate you on getting rich. I've heard about your work in the Land of Grass. I heard that a while ago, you limped the woman Yugito and went to the Land of Grass to investigate..."

"Don't think about it, it's useless even if I want to pull you. The Land of Grass can supply the three countries of Land of Earth, Fire, and Wind at the same time because of its unique location advantages. The Land of Water is isolated overseas. No matter what you do, you have to cross the sea first. The cost is too high. Bananas go to the Land of Water, and there is no advantage at all."

"Hey... Aren't we blood brothers... How about I let Terumi Mei be your wife?"

Why did Yagura say this again?

How many times is this?

"What nonsense are you talking about? Did you ask her for her opinion?"

"What is there to ask? You both have kekkei genkai, especially yours, which is even more abnnormal. And you don't have any children yet. When the two of you have one, the child will be the heir of Konoha. This is a sure money. If it can be done, I don't know how many families will wake up with laughter."

"I treat you like a brother, but you are scheming for the Hokage seat!"

"What does that have to do with this? With Terumi Mei's character, she always likes to procrastinate, and she definitely can't find a good partner. Why don't you decide the matter before I die... Wait, don't you really want Temari to give birth to you? It will take more than ten years, can you really bear it?"

Makoto found out that Yagura's face was getting thicker and thicker.

"You are so courageous, why don't you dare to fight with the daimyo of the Land of Water?"

"It's not that I haven't been severely scolded..."

Yagura grunted, and finally spoke the truth.

"You also know that the Land of Fire Military Department wants to be promoted and become a marshal before retiring?"

…Really interesting.
