The Living Saint is also the Devil Prince

Outside the window, it began to rain.

Makoto sat on the porch, flipping through the documents in his hand, while listening to the gentle sound of rain.

He likes rain.

When he listened closely to the sound of the rain, he always felt that his body and mind were also purified. Even the bloody smell that lingered on the tip of his nose all year round seemed to have been diluted a lot.

Aoho hasn't come yet.

But this is also a very normal thing, after all, Aoho is really a busy person now, even if he wants to come, he still has to settle the matter at hand.

This takes a little while.

Makoto also took the opportunity to settle some things in his hand.

In addition to those necessary daily approvals, the most important one is the establishment of the Arasaka company.

Previously, there was a lack of technology from Soragakure, but now that the technology has been obtained, Makoto will naturally continue to complete the task.

Because it was founded in Konoha, the review process is almost equal to nothing. Makoto transferred most of the Soragakure technology to Arasaka's name, and signed his name on the application form, and the matter was considered completed.

"Next month, Arasaka will be able to start official operations. –

"It's just that I don't know the system's judgment method. If I don't jump to the achievement, I can only put the United Fruit, the tobacco company, and the intelligence company together... huh?"

Just when Makoto was thinking this way, the achievement called Unparalleled Under the Heaven jumped directly to the completed state.

[Unparalleled Under the Heaven: I am strong because I have the most powerful mother]

[Create the most powerful company in the world.]

From a literal point of view, the requirement for this achievement seems to be to rely on the most powerful industrial country, the Land of Fire, to create a company that is number one in the world.

But Makoto has just completed the application form here, and he hasn't even set up a serious company organization yet. How can this task be directly...

And only this one task was skipped, and the other company tasks that should be related to each other didn't respond at all?

Makoto was puzzled, but no matter what, the ninja score has been raised to 34.5 points, which is a good thing after all.

The system guy's judgment criteria are very confusing. If you really look into it, you will be pissed off by the system.

His future enemy will definitely be super Kage, and this score is just right.

Makoto was happy inside, but he didn't add points directly.

The later the stage, the more difficult it is to earn points, and the more cautious he is when adding points.

At this time, Minatsuki came up with a cup of tea, as usual, after carefully filling the tea for him, Minatsuki asked softly.

"It's late, don't you go to bed yet?"

"I still have something to see Aoho tonight, maybe we will talk all night, so you don't have to wait for me... The weather is a bit cold these two days, please pay attention to Naruto. The child is small and gets sick easily."

"Yes, I'll keep an eye on it... by the way, can I take your measurement?"

...What size I am, don't you know...

Saying that, Minatsuki took out a roll of measuring tape from her sleeve, Makoto finally came to his senses, this was to make clothes for him.

"I already have a lot of clothes, don't I need to make more?"

Minatsuki is a standard good wife and mother. Since she came to the house, Makoto has never been troubled by food and clothing.

She always knew what he needed and was prepared ahead of time.

Now Makoto's closet is full of clothes, all made by Minazuki in his spare time.

"It's not a normal dress, it's a big dress for the New Year... My dear, as the Hokage, you must dress more energetically during the New Year. Recently, a very powerful tailor came to the village, and everyone is praising her for her skills, and I want to make one for you too..."

It turned out to be like this.

Makoto stood up, letting Minatsuki measure his body, but he was constantly feeling emotional.

How time flies, even though he prepared a new outfit in advance, no matter how he calculates, he has been Hokage for almost a year.

Too many things happened in this year, intriguing with big shots to create a tobacco company, the fourth Ninja World War, the normalization of the Five Kage Summit, hurting each other with that bastard Yagura, established Konoha United Fruits, the actual control of the Land of Grass, in order to prevent those old bastards from being cut their salaries, they almost caused an economic crisis and the Fifth Ninja World War, and by the way, they also destroyed Soragakure...

Any one of them can be said to be a major event recorded in history, but he has encountered them all.

The experience of this year can be said to be a disaster, can't he be simply pushed...

Thinking of this, Makoto couldn't help but want lasagna tears.

But before that, Minatsuki stopped, hugged him, and buried her head in his arms.

This woman is very sensitive, she can always easily catch Makoto's emotional changes, and give feedback at the first time – otherwise there would be no such stupid task as 'I See Pity'.

Minatsuki has no family background, no clan, no skills, she knows that she can't give Makoto any practical help. So whenever Makoto fell into temporary confusion, she would hug him like now.

Makoto also enjoyed this kind of intimacy.

It was this type of traditional Sicilian woman that he liked.

She doesn't say a word, but you know, she is always there to support you silently.

Without any extra words, Makoto has already recovered the strength to continue working overtime.

Just looking at the big sister in his arms, Makoto couldn't help but his heart moved, and said to her.

"Next year or the year after...have a child for me?"

These were the words Minatsuki had been waiting for all this time, but when she really heard them, she was still at a loss.

"I'm...not good. And Temari-san..."

"For Temari, it's best to only give birth to a daughter." Makoto held his wife's hand and comforted her uneasiness, "You have done a good job, I know... even a dodder should be rewarded."

T/N: dodder as in the cuscuta plant

In fact, compared to Suna's Temari-hime, ninjas prefer gentle women like Minatsuki.

Except for her slightly lower background, she basically satisfies all the ideas of ordinary ninjas about Hokage's spouse.

No...it's because she came from a humble background, which is good.

"And if...in case I die one day, you also have someone to rely on."

Minatsuki's face instantly turned pale.

"Why...why do you say such things?"

"I caused too much trouble before, and I will definitely have to pay for the sin I did. Sooner or later..."

Makoto has always been like this, planning for the worst and pursuing the best result.

The previous miso war caused too many things. If it is not handled properly... Of course, he hopes more than anyone else that he can get through it safely, but if...

Before Makoto could finish speaking, Minatsuki had already placed her index finger on his lips.

"When my grandfather was still alive, he once told me that as long as what you do is really good, everyone will know about it and will support you. Even the Sage of the Six Paths can't do anything but help!"

Sage of the Six Paths?

He does want to fight for justice.

But I am neither Asura nor Indra.

And even the Sage of the Six Paths... If he could really change people's hearts so easily, then when he was still alive, the world would have been unified long ago. How could the world still be in such a ghostly state.

But...Makoto was still very happy.

Because through these simple words, he felt very clearly that Minatsuki cared about him.

She... loves him.

There is nothing more joyful than this.

The two hugged each other, silent for a long time.

The performance of the two was clearly seen by Temari who was hiding behind the pillar.

The little girl bit her finger with tears in her eyes.

"Woo... I am supposed to be the mother... One day... One day..."

The actions of the three people in front were clearly seen by Haku who was hiding behind the pillar.

The little girl bit her finger and secretly made up her mind.

"Woo... I will grow up too... One day... One day..."

Aoho and Kakashi, who were hiding behind the pillar, saw clearly what the four people did in front.

Aoho: "Shouldn't it be better for us to play dead now?"

... ...

Not long after, Minatsuki, who was blushing and flustered, led her with a big bag on her head, and the two little girls who kept chattering left the corridor, leaving time for the men.

Kakashi and Aoho pretended not to know anything, sat opposite Makoto, and chatted seriously about business matters.

Although Aoho really wanted to make a movie right away, called Suo Makoto's Double-Faced Life... Forget it, he will definitely be killed...

"Your excellency, how are you doing recently? –

"Even for work, don't push yourself too hard."

Makoto looked at Aoho, who was obviously a lot weaker, and his head was sweating after sitting for a while, and he meant something.

Aoho scratched his head.

"This is something that can't be helped...Film technology is very important, and social interaction is also very important."

Great directors also suffer from great directors' problems.

The one who can keep him social is of course not some tender and beautiful girl...

I'm afraid it's 'Clans of Interigue' situation... This can be regarded as a work-related injury.

T/N: 'Clans of Interigue', a 1977 wuxia movie adapted from 'Fragrance in the Sea of Blood' of Gu Long's 'Chu Liuxiang' novel series

But everyone is an adult now, after sighing at each other, Makoto got straight to the point.

"Your excellency, I would like to ask you to do me two favors."

"Please say."

"You should know about my situation, right?"

"…Mhm."

"Then do you know how the outside scolds me now?"

"They used some words that were more offensive than giving birth..."

"Very well, it seems that you have fully understood, then the next thing will be simple – I hope you can arrange for a few celebrities to cheat immediately. Of course, I will give them a very satisfactory condition."

Now Konoha is not as good as before. After the Miso War, even if it is pure money, it can kill many people.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements later. I happen to have a few former celebrity friends who I know well, and I'm sure they'd be very willing to help you. But apart from money..."

"Shikaku will cooperate with you."

Now, what is professionalism?

As soon as Makoto opened his mouth, Aoho knew what he wanted, and even expressed his needs.

For celebrities, a good reputation is better than a bad reputation, and a bad reputation is better than no reputation.

The worst thing, of course, is that no one cares about the skirt falling off.

Presumably, with the cheating of these celebrities, the pressure of public opinion on Makoto's side will be much less.

"Godaime, I'd be happy to help you." Aoho knew Makoto's current situation, so he gave an analysis from a professional point of view, "But you should understand that this alone is definitely not enough."

"Up to you."

With a smile on her face, Aoho took over the script. He watched it carefully for a long time, and his expression kept changing while reading, obviously marveling at the ingenuity of the script.

But when he really finished watching it, he looked at Makoto with some hesitation.

"Godaime, if you just talk about this script called The Godfather itself, it's simply... please allow me to be poor in vocabulary, and I can't describe its greatness. But... it's the only one, isn't it suitable for you?"

There is nothing wrong with the script itself, it is a family movie.

Although his main business is war movies, and he is best at big scenes, but as a big shot in the industry, it is not a big problem to try this kind of manly drama once in a while.

The problem is that Aoho knows very well that Makoto wants to clear his name through the entertainment circle.

No matter how high the big shots think of him, the low-level people think badly of him.

This kind of film... can't be washed at all! Even if you appear as the male lead, you are still an extreme member! Except for those core fans, who would like this kind of person!

Unless...

Aoho thought of a possibility.

"You mean..."

Makoto nodded.

"Your excellency, may I ask you, do you like a young man who volunteered to join the army and won many honors in death battles?"

"It goes without saying that this is a matter of course. There is nothing more glorious than this."

"Well, what if I told you that this great guy's family composition is a bit complicated, and he belongs to the kind of marginal character?"

"Uh, this... It has nothing to do with this child. He can choose his own life, but he cannot choose his own origin."

"Then one day, when the father of this great boy who is the leader of the Yakuza is seriously injured, he chooses to stand up and use force to protect his father and even his family. Is there any problem?"

"This is a man's due responsibility. He is obviously capable, but he can't even protect his father and family, so what kind of man is he?"

After all, it is the Naruto World, and the family concept is still very deep-rooted at this time. Leaving aside justice and injustice, people who are willing to stand up and protect their families will always receive more sympathy from people.

"In order to protect his family, he killed people and was rejected by the mainstream society. But also to protect his family, he took the position of father and did some things he didn't want to do... Is such a child worthy of forgiveness? "

Kakashi listened to the conversation between the two, silently looking up at the sky.

Aoho thought for a while, and finally nodded.

"If that's the case, maybe it can play a role. If you push all the problems to the family and current events, then... it's a family after all, I probably understand..."

"No, you don't understand – I mean, in the process of protecting my family, because of my wild heart and wanting to manipulate Konoha, in the end, he was constantly blamed by the family, and even had to execute his family members. In the end, the family members dispersed and died alone – of course, this is just a preliminary concept. If you think there is a better solution, we can also modify it together. "

Just listening to the plot, Aoho's blood pressure rose.

But he had to admit that it was a good idea.

It's cool to make the protagonist of a movie invincible, but that's not life.

For ordinary people, it is easier to empathize with the bleak life of the protagonist in the movie when he watched the hard-fought protagonist who finally had to completely degenerate.

But in this case...

"All the responsibilities are on you. Konoha can indeed stay out of it, but you yourself..."

Makoto smiled and said nothing.

... ...

Danzo led his confidantes and quickly headed towards the Land of Rain.

As a veteran, he didn't need to go out to do missions for a long time. The reason why he was in a hurry this time was entirely because he felt the huge pressure from Makoto – before he took the initiative to kill Shinno, although it made him shut up, Makoto might have seen something.

Judging from the plan he showed later, he clearly had intentions for the Land of the Sky... Now that Shinno is dead, how will Makoto treat him?

So far, Makoto has no intention of taking action, but Danzo is always full of fear for this junior who does things so wildly and unconstrainedly that people can't find his direction at all, but has always killed him with one blow.

He knew that he had to speed up some actions.

Even with the addition of Hanzo, their strength is still very weak...Makoto is so ruthless to ordinary elders, let alone him!

Danzo doesn't know many of Makoto's plans, but he can tell that what Makoto wants is by no means simply dominating the ninja world... A person with such ambition will never stop...

... ...

Because the price of miso soared, it was difficult to buy, and the miso stored at home was quickly eaten up.

As usual, Konan was busy frustrating the detonator. Therefore, Pain, who had practiced in seclusion for more than a year, finally walked out of the hermitage and came to a small village in the Land of Rain.

He wants to see if the price of miso has come down, and if it has, he will buy more.

If the price is right, carry a few more bags of rice home.

As a small country, the Land of Rain is very sad. Even if they have done nothing wrong, they will still endure the abuse of the big powers, and even become a battlefield for the big powers.

In the past, Hanzo of the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure, would show up and fight the enemy. But Hanzo soon becomes...

The days are getting harder every day.

It seems that every day is living in hell.

However, life always has to go on.

People are always like weeds. Even if a natural disaster passed through yesterday, after the disaster passed, they would still struggle to actively absorb even the slightest bit of nutrition from the surrounding environment.

Pain walks in the world, reflecting everything in front of him.

Hell was always hell, exactly as Pain remembered it. It's just that in hell, there seems to be a ray of light now.

Some villagers from the Land of Rain are discussing about leaving the Land of Rain.

"How about we go to Konoha? As long as you can pass the village entry review of Konoha, you can not only get a free house according to the family size, but I heard that as long as you are willing to work, you can earn at least tens of thousands of taels a month. More importantly The most important thing is... safety! As long as you become a resident of Konoha, no one will dare to bully us anymore!"

"Konoha...everywhere is talking about Konoha recently, it seems that they have produced a very powerful Kage, and their development is indeed very good...but I heard that that Kage is a scum..."

"Scumbags are scumbags, what does it matter to us? He can't even see us!"

"That's what I said... But I heard that the price of miso and food skyrocketed before, and he made it..."

"No way? He made it?"

"Is this fake?"

"Hey, hey, use your brains, he is the Hokage, not a wealthy businessman, when have you ever seen a ninja mixed with a businessman... This time the whole world is scolding, probably he was pushed out by the wealthy businessmen to take the blame. ."

"It makes sense for you to say that...but everyone is spreading the word..."

The things the villagers discussed were very ordinary. Apart from the powerless complaints about life, they were all kinds of gossip.

Among the bunch of unidentifiable news, a name named Suo Makoto quietly entered Pain's ears.

He seems to be a good guy, but also seems to be a bastard, a parasite.

Because of the too weird character design, Pain couldn't help asking a few more questions.

Pain, who didn't like to show his face at first, stayed in the village for a long time after buying supplies.

And this question let him know more about Suo Makoto.

Because of the previous series of coquettish manipulations, now Makoto's name has rarely surpassed the ninja world, barely reaching the level of a household name. Even ordinary villagers know a little bit.

Who told this guy to want pornographic news and pornographic news, and disputes and controversies.

Both conditions are favorite elements of journalists.

The previous Yondaime Hokage were relatively silent, and they didn't like to be reported extensively. That is to say, since the Godaime Hokage came to power, there will be a big news almost every once in a while, and the journalists naturally love him to death.

The rumors in the country cannot be trusted, but after putting together some fragments, it is still possible to barely construct a little character arc.

"Godaime Hokage... Konoha Sannin, Jiraiya-sensei's disciple..."

To put it bluntly, they are still brothers under the same sensei.

Konoha...

"It's just been in seclusion for more than a year, and so many things have happened in the world... As expected, peace never exists. Either kill or be killed. War is accompanied by death and pain."

"Soragakure did nothing wrong, but was destroyed by the Five Great Hidden Villages, how overbearing and ruthless!"

"I have to stop them, no matter what method is used ... This is our dream."

The changes in the world make people sigh, but Pain does not waver, but strengthens his determination because of this.

He did not continue to listen to the undistinguished news, and prepared to return to his secret base.

He practiced hard for many days before, and now he has achieved success in cultivation, but now... it is time to let the world feel the pain.

Pain hid in the crowd and was about to leave silently, but at this moment, he found a group of people dressed as ninjas hastily entering the village.

Under the terrified gaze of the villagers, they took out their money, bought some food, and started eating and drinking.

They look like they've come a long way and need a good rest.

This was just a very common thing, but the leader of the crowd...

"Danzo Shimura!"

In just a moment, Pain recognized one of the murderers who killed his friend.

"He's also from Konoha! –

"Let's start with him!"

Pain silently dropped the hat on his head.

Rainy night.

Sharp swords.

Sharp eyes.

Today, it is a matter of life and death!
