Yagura, You're Dead

More than half a month later, the old mansion.

The courtyard outside is deep, and the sound of water can be heard from time to time. Makoto didn't appreciate the scenery outside, but just sat there, quietly watching Roju performing tea art.

As a standard rough man, Makoto was totally unable to understand the art of scrubbing.

However, this did not prevent him from taking this opportunity to clean up what happened recently.

There are too many things that have happened recently.

The most terrible of these is the miso war that happened not long ago.

In some ways, the Miso War is even more famous than the Fourth Ninja War.

After all, for most people, ninja war has nothing to do with them. As long as it is not unlucky to happen to be near the battlefield, or those small countries, civilians rarely pay attention to it.

Can paying attention reduce the impact of war on them?

It will not.

The tax that should be paid will not be less than a penny.

As long as the village in the country where they live does not lose, most people will be relatively calm.

This situation didn't get better until Konoha started making movies.

And miso war, that's different...the price has really increased, bastard!

It is said to be a miso war, but in essence, it is a large-scale price increase caused by a poor harvest of beans.

In fact, it is not just miso, which is the most national seasoning, but everything related to beans has risen all over the place, and even other foods have risen together – although the proportion is not that high.

Pork has gone up by one piece, so the buns have also gone up by one piece, and they don't plan to go back to that kind.

Make no mistake, it was an unmitigated disaster.

Fortunately, Yagura was really good as a teammate. He helped Makoto at the most critical moment, and came up with a dangerous challenge. In the end, it didn't lead to the same situation as Rice Riot.

T/N: the Rice Riot of 1918, in July to September in 1918, the rise of price in Japan caused extreme economic hardships

The Great Hidden Villages were very dissatisfied with this, and the wealthy merchants naturally needless to say.

Fortunately, at the very beginning of the operation, Makoto made an agreement with everyone that they must act in unison.

Without the three families of Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sungakure, this alliance could not be maintained. After Hidden Village and the rich merchants complained for a while, they could only return to a state of disunity again.

... In any case, the money was earned, but the last sum was not received.

Without the control of these guys, the price will naturally drop.

It's still a catastrophe, but fortunately the worst isn't happening.

In order to appease these guys, Makoto held a few more meetings and brought up the matter of sharing the intelligence network again.

But this time it's going to be normal.

The Five Great Hidden Villages jointly provide information, while the maintenance funds are collectively funded by big businessmen.

The Four Great Hidden Villages are naturally very happy.

After all, to put it bluntly, they are just Hidden Villages, not professional businessmen. Once or twice is okay, if you invest too many times, you will always overturn.

For ninjas, it is really no problem to provide local price information. Although it costs a little to maintain it all year round, but big businessmen are willing to contribute, then there is no problem.

This is almost a no-cost business.

They can even use this part of the funds to maintain their intelligence networks in various places.

The big businessmen are also happy.

Although if everyone joins the alliance together, it is equivalent to giving up the biggest advantage of the intelligence network, and they cannot eat alone. But on the other hand, this can also provide them with more opportunities, so that funds can flow more smoothly. Fundamentally speaking, this is making a bigger business plate, which is of no benefit to them.

Then Makoto began to try to finish.

Makoto was fooled for a while, and then tried to kill a few small and medium-sized businessmen who still wanted to make trouble, and after pushing the matter to them...the matter is still not over.

It is not ancient after all.

Even if there is no internet, there are newspapers, and this public anger cannot be suppressed for a while.

Makoto was very helpless about this.

Fortunately, Konoha basically didn't lose, but got closer to him, which is finally a good thing – Hokage brought back so many Asuma for everyone, and Konoha Ninja can see it.

Makoto couldn't deal with this matter for a while, so he simply put it aside and began to study the biggest wealth he got this time.

It's really not the unknown number of Asuma, but those large ninja tools in Soragakure – until this time, they still call them that, but for Makoto, this is technology!

Ah, if it's the Naruto world, it's fine to say it's a scientific ninja tool.

Science is a world view and methodology, and it doesn't care about this difference.

At that time, the Four Great Hidden Villages were actually quite close to Sora, but the Four Great Hidden Villages were anxious and only wanted to make money. In addition, they looked down on the small Hidden Village at all, and they never searched the hidden underground Soragakure's base.

Therefore, Makoto divided the wealth in the Soragakure's base into four, and after sending them to the Four Great Hidden Villages, they felt that the matter was over.

If you are smarter, you will think of Reibi, but considering that Makoto led everyone to make a fortune this time, everyone will stop talking.

After all, everyone has seen the ability of Reibi, and it cannot be compared with the real Biju at all.

– But how did they know that this is not the real application of Reibi at all!

What Reibi is best at doing is actually supplying energy to large bases, rather than using them to fight!

In plan, Reibi is used in conjunction with the floating fortress. For Makoto, this thing can be used as a 10,000-ton giant ship in the air.

The energy conversion ratio of this thing is frighteningly high, and the pain and lives of dozens of people in the original work can drive the air fortress.

If it is used to transport goods, it can be said that there is almost no cost.

– For a country as big as the Land of Fire, wouldn't it be easy to gather dozens of condemned prisoners each time? If it doesn't work, go catch some robbers or something.

It's all little things.

If it doesn't work, you can also consider using death-row prisoners to filthy death-row prisoners, and then lock them in cages, constantly torturing and extracting painful emotions-speaking of which, Orochimaru has been studying the infinite chakra of Edo Tensei, is it possible from this perspective? , solving energy and transportation problems at the same time?

This is much more practical than picking bananas with Edo Tensei, and it can benefit all mankind.

The Naruto world is very big, but it is also because of its size and the great greenery that it is very difficult to build road facilities. But if there is a Reibi brand floating fortress, then the ground road is dispensable.

If one Reibi is not enough, build two, and if two are not enough, build ten.

As long as there are enough floating fortresses, transportation will become quite easy.

Here I have to mention the operability of the Reibi. Although what is essentially needed is dark chakra, but this thing is always very stable.

In the original work, he never went violent, and always obeyed the command. It's just that Shinno was forced into a desperate situation and insisted on merging with it...

Compared with Jinchuuriki, its reliability is not generally high.

Makoto felt that Orochimaru could think of a way to mass produce it.

What's the point of you making the ultimate weapon? Isn't the advantage of science that it can be copied continuously? It's so cool to get it transported.

This is overall strong.

Not to mention the Reibi, the individual aircraft inside is also very interesting.

The principle of this thing is very simple, it is the two big wings of the hang glider style. But compared to the glider, it can be powered by the ninja's chakra as energy.

Although due to technical reasons, it can only be used as a small bomber for the time being. But its requirements for personnel are really quite low, because it does not involve a lot of mechanical operations, basically a ninja can become an excellent pilot with a little training.

Don't even have to worry about the engine failing because the pilot is the engine.

The flying wing emits airflow through the ninja burning chakra. Because the aircraft is extremely light, it can easily perform various incredible movements.

– If the structure is not too simple, too fast, too high, people will not be able to bear it, all of these can be used as supersonic bombers.

Air supremacy is the same no matter what world it is in.

Makoto estimated that as long as there are about 3,000 air ninja troops, he can deal a devastating blow to any hidden village in one round.

As long as...there is no big wild tree, no biju, no Pain, no shield of sand, no raiton, no futon... well, this thing does have room for improvement... but the advantage is the advantage, and this flaw is not hidden.

Anyway, these are rare goodies.

It's just that relatively speaking, the aircraft carrier that Makoto is most optimistic about is a bit... It's not that there is any problem with the aircraft mother, the problem is mainly on Konoha himself.

The aircraft carrier has always been regarded as an important weapon for the country. Because it is not just a take-off platform for an aircraft, but also means the cooperation of thousands of departments in a country, which is a real modern miracle.

Even in modern times, if you want to build an aircraft mother, you have to know how many experienced workers have to work hard for several years.

And Konoha... Don't even think about ninjas, the profession is not right. Even the thousands of modern technology seedlings deliberately cultivated by him will definitely not be able to handle it.

There are tens of thousands or even millions of practitioners in industries such as aircraft carriers, nuclear bombs, and aerospace. This is not a joke.

This is really something that only big countries can afford.

Even if Makoto forced Konoha to death, it wouldn't be able to make it.

...Makoto didn't want to come up with something extremely funny like the third brother.

T/N: 'third brother', also known as Lee Sam from the 1988 crime film, "Hero of Tomorrow"

And because of the existence of ninjutsu, the practicality of the aircraft carrier... However, some things on the aircraft carrier can be dismantled and used first.

Makoto still doesn't know how Sora and those guys came up with the sea of design drawings that can bury people swimming in it. Even if you drive Eureka... Anyway, that's it. After searching for a while, Makoto found some relatively primitive computer design drawings inside.

It is much more advanced than Eniac, but it is still a little far from modern computers, all of which are supercomputers.

It seems to be for the fire control system? or something else?

This is really beyond Makoto's comprehension.

It doesn't matter, as long as it can be used.

In short, Makoto quietly invited a few senior engineers from the Land of Fire to let them study slowly.

Because of the design blueprints, everything is going well. It depends on whether the real thing can be made in the near future... It may take a while, but Makoto is willing to wait.

As long as you master this thing, it means that Konoha is completely ahead of your opponent by an entire body...

While Makoto was thinking about this, Roju had already finished cleaning up.

Facing the teacup handed over by Roju, Makoto immediately thanked him.

Roju smiled amiably, and the two began to chat and laugh casually.

"You did a good job this time."

"Hey, I also caused a lot of trouble, thanks to your support."

"It's all small things, you don't need to worry too much..."

The two were chatting casually, but Roju suddenly changed the topic.

"By the way, Makoto, I heard people say that you seem to be the only one in your clan? Are the others already gone in during the battle?"

"Yes."

"So, your Suo clan can be regarded as a loyal family... Makoto, are you willing to be my son?"

Hearing what Roju said, Makoto, who had been thinking about those tragic events in his heart, was also taken aback.

He was really taken aback.

Because in the Naruto world, adopted sons can also inherit the clan name and clan property.

The most famous one is the adopted son-in-law.

Some wealthy businessmen and politicians, knowing that their children have no talents, will concentrate on finding a capable son-in-law who will become the helm of the clan.

After all, there is no choice for the son, but the son-in-law can be carefully selected from the most elite group of people in the world.

If this is done, even though the actual speaker has become a person with a foreign surname, the clan blood is still passed on anyway, which is better than a complete decline.

And Yuushi is above the adopted son, a way of inheritance with more favorable conditions.

If you become an adopted son, you must at least change your surname – otherwise, how can you call it an adopted son?

As for Yuushi, you don't even need to change your surname, and people directly pass on political resources and property to you.

T/N: Yuushi is a social custom that existed before the Meiji era of Japan, is to form a father-son relationship with other people's sons

The monkey became Kanpuku because Soviet Union recognized Yuushi a long time ago – whether it was voluntary or not is hard to say.

T/N: Kanpuku is the de facto highest public offical position of Japanese imperial court

Roju really seemed very happy this time, and even Yuushi brought it up... But after thinking about it, he is not at a loss.

Makoto made a big deal this time. From his personal point of view, he almost caused chaos. But in the eyes of the great aristocrats, it's not the same thing at all – Makoto, a young man, is capable of maneuvering, and he has unified the Five Great Hidden Villages of the five major countries and cut the leeks of the world together!

This young man has skills.

At least the Shodaime Hokage of the same age could not do similar things.

His force value may be high enough, but other Hidden Villages will not cooperate if they don't cooperate, even if they are killed, they will not cooperate with him.

The aristocratic system has always looked down on ninjas, but what Makoto has done this time is really beautiful, especially he has not done everything, and he knows how to accept as soon as he sees it, and he has left an excellent impression on the top bosses.

The ability to receive and send is the real control.

No matter what Makoto thinks in his heart, the big shots have already put a label on him with a bright future.

When Roju spoke this time, it was not a test, but a sincere one.

He has a son and a daughter himself, but he is more optimistic about Makoto than letting his son inherit the family business.

Such words cannot be used as a joke.

Makoto knew that as long as he nodded, he would be able to leave his identity as a ninja and enter the court.

According to the practice of the Land of Fire, because he is the heir of Roju, he will not be hindered in his promotion before entering the actual prime minister position of Roju.

The children of bankers are bankers, the children of politicians are politicians, and the children of beggars are beggars.

And to put it bluntly, Konoha is also half of the military department, and he was born in the same camp as him.

In this way, the benefits are endless.

Of course, everything has a price – after becoming an official of the Land of Fire, Makoto will definitely not be able to be a Kage.

The path that Roju planned for him is definitely not an official position like Guardian Ninja of the Land of Fire, but a real feudal official.

Makoto really didn't expect that Roju would propose so.

He sighed, but finally shook his head and refused.

"I'm sorry, thank you for your help, but... it's really... I'm used to the idleness of ninjas..."

"Really?"

Roju took a sip of tea quietly, the smile on his face restrained a little, but he didn't continue to insist.

"That's right, a young man like you always hopes to rely on his own strength to fight against the sky... Hahahaha, this is also the charm of being young. –

"The old man was once young, I can understand. –

"But...hahaha, let's not talk about those unpleasant things. In short, just remember that the old man's promise is always valid until the old man dies."

Roju obviously had something to say, and Makoto could roughly guess some of it. But since the other party didn't point it out, he didn't know it.

...It's nothing more than a dispute between the nobles and Hidden Village.

Makoto never forgot about the twelve gold medallions.

T/N: 'twelve gold medallions', represent the most urgent military orders delivered with gold medals by the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the Song Dynasty

Presumably they will not forget.

Konoha is getting stronger and stronger, don't try to cover it with tabloids in the future.

The better Makoto was, the more they were afraid.

If they really go on, the conflict between them will only become more and more acute.

There can only be one Wayii Cheng in Causeway Bay.

Makoto has done Roju such a big favor this time and fulfilled his wish, and Roju will definitely repay him.

The old man's life span is short, as a big man in the court, as long as he opens his mouth and says that he wants to accept Makoto as a son, he will definitely be able to temporarily shut up some people and continue to buy time for Konoha.

However, Roju is going to die after all.

After he died...

"Thank you for understanding! I can't thank you enough!"

"Don't talk about this, don't talk about this. If I really want to say thank you, it's me. I come from a big family, and I don't need anything in my life, except this handsome staff. Now that I have a handsome staff, even if I die now Now, I can rest in peace, hahahaha."

Knowing that Roju was unwilling to continue talking about the affairs of the court, Makoto also smiled and talked to him about becoming a marshal.

Roju has not yet been given the title of marshal.

But now no one would be stupid enough to stop him.

Because Makoto had already added Roju as the planner of this operation.

The reason why he had to do this was to block the spear.

Block the spears of ordinary people, but also block the spears of nobles.

The reason for both is the same.

Anyway, Makoto took the lead this time. The channels for civilians to obtain information are limited – this is not an era when a fake picture is photoshopped in the morning, and rumors spread before the afternoon, and even the sweeping aunt knows about it.

Seeing that Makoto was in command, the civilians naturally drew their anger on him.

This is irrational.

Of course, some nobles will not be happy either.

Who made Makoto run away halfway.

Rice riot? None of their business, they just want money.

At this time, if they can't pull a respectable person out to block the gun, who knows what they will do.

Roju is well aware of this, but of course he will not refuse.

For him, the most important thing right now is to get the handsome stick to fulfill his wish, and the other cynicism is completely ignored by him.

Anyway, he's leaving soon.

Secondly, it is to use complete power.

After all, it was the last time that Roju won the honor. Even if he didn't say anything, everyone still had a tacit understanding and wanted to do things perfectly.

Now whether you are asking the Five Great countries or the Five Great Hidden Villages, Roju can be said to be a mighty soldier this time, a model of a soldier who surrenders without fighting.

Without a single soldier, he used economic warfare to defeat the empty country and disarm him, and surrendered with courtesy... Who cares if you are true or not, anyway, the wealthy businessmen and nobles who benefited from this incident , The ninjas have completely unified the caliber.

Such a record will definitely be included in the annals of history – it will indeed be included in the textbooks of the Land of Fire Business School, and it will become a classic case that will be constantly pondered by future generations.

Is it just the possibility of re-enactment...

There should not be a leader in the world who can unite all Great Hidden Villages and big countries, and is finally willing to brake.

If it is forcibly reproduced, there is a high probability that it will be a big explosion.

But then it has nothing to do with Makoto and Roju.

Speaking of the awarding of honors, Riju smiled like a Brezhnev who was about to receive his beloved medal. The more he talked, the happier he became, and in the end, he even took Makoto's hand and went to the daimyo's bedroom together.

The two talked and laughed happily all the way, and came to the daimyo's bedroom.

The two talked and laughed happily all the way, and came to the daimyo's bedroom.

Along the way, the two met many people, basically all of them were ministers and deputy ministers.

Roju is happy, and they are actually very happy too. After all, the daimyo had almost been dragged away before, and never mentioned the salary cut at all.

Now that everyone has made money, and the daimyo has also received a large sum, naturally there will be no further mention of salary cuts. Everyone is happy and congratulations.

Some of them seemed to be in high spirits, and even took the initiative to tell Makoto that they would help solve the public disturbance against him.

Makoto was very curious about what they were going to do and the abilities of this group of guys... But no matter what, it was always a lot more comforting to have someone willing to help.

Having said that, you guys won't 'help' and be a hinderance, will you?

...It's hard to say.

Makoto was suspicious in his heart, and it was hard to say anything.

A group of people walked through the hall and arrived outside the daimyo's office.

As soon as the two stood still, a secretary brought two thick stacks of documents to them, which were filled with the detailed process of this economic operation.

Although the reason is somewhat nonsensical, it is the harvesting of the world that started because of the salary cut, but in any case, these are things that will be used as textbooks in business schools and military schools in the future, and they must be cleaned up.

"Don't be too nervous, His Highness should only praise you. If there is anything, I will do everything."

Roju was in a great mood, and even ordered a few more words.

Makoto answered yes repeatedly.

Not long after, a call from the daimyo came from inside.

Except for Makoto and Roju, only those few ministers entered together.

As soon as he entered the office, Makoto saw Daimyo's soothing smile.

As everyone had guessed, the daimyo first praised Roju for being old and strong, and then praised Makoto for his bravery and diligence. Finally, he sighed that the two did not have conflicts, but chose to cooperate sincerely... Anyway, they are some pretty words.

In short, the daimyo's mouth was very loose, obviously he was about to award honors to Roju.

Roju straightened his back, ready to accept the Mashal's baton.

While it sounds very Showa to have one very important thing over another, it works well.

But...

"Your praise really makes me feel ashamed. It is only under your leadership that we can achieve such an achievement!"

"Hehe, you guys...but speaking of it, everyone seems to have earned a lot in this battle?"

"Ah, this... this is the profit everyone deserves..."

Generally speaking, this kind of tacit matter, everyone will not say it. Roju didn't know why daimyo suddenly brought up this matter, so he could only answer vaguely.

"How to distribute wealth is also a very important part of economic warfare ... I forgot to put it, but it is."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to embarrass you. I just want to say – since everyone is rich, why can't we lower your salary and let everyone exercise more? Walking is healthier than driving all the time, right?"

Why do you turn around, and then turn back?!

Can't you not lower our salary!

Daming smiled softly.

The smiles on the faces of several ministers gradually disappeared.

...Well, it seems that there is no need to worry about whether they will be a disservice.

The daimyo wanted to hammer them from the very beginning. Everything before was just an excuse.

This guy is really dirty.

But... In any case, it is always a good thing for someone to be unlucky with him.

Makoto was in a good mood.

– Labor and management almost fought with the whole world because of your trivial matter, what else do you want?

Find a way by yourself!

No matter how the ministers looked at him pleadingly, Makoto ignored him and just ran away.

Because he was in a good mood, Makoto even ate two more oranges than usual.

Until Terumi Mei with a strange expression came to the door and handed over a note and a detailed map of the island of the Land of Water.

There is nothing to say about the detailed map of the island of the Land of Water. He had agreed with Yagura before, but this note...

"Dear Makoto, considering that a personal attack on you will benefit Kirigakure the most, I will launch a personal attack on you in three days' time. –

"Of course, I know that you have a serious lack of morality, have always been morally low, and have never denied it, but I must also warn you that this attack will be violent. –

"This attack will be sent out on time at about 8:20."

"You are faithful. –

"You know who I am, so I won't sign."

...Yagura, I am ****!
