Three Wheeled Truck

T/N: China has many small cars with three wheels, the three wheeled truck looks like a miniature pickup truck (this also translates to three-bouncers)

Konoha, year 51, only the last few hours are left.

As the Hokage, Makoto had a rare touch.

It's New Year's holiday.

What? Konoha, which is always at war, doesn't have this tradition?

It doesn't matter, I stipulate it now.

So Konoha had a New Year's holiday.

Except for a few ninjas who had to go on duty, most ninjas touched it.

Even the elders didn't have much opinion.

After all, this is a new era, and none of the five great hidden villages want to fight. There is no need to be on high alert at all times like before.

Even if a small force really goes crazy, Konoha's general security force is enough.

It's the end of the year, and there are a lot of shadows locking themselves at home, so come if you're not afraid of death.

As for Akatsuki... Nagato just caught Sasori.

Makoto had already confirmed it with Aunt Snake and Kakuzu.

Before the end of the New Year, they probably won't make any big moves – hell, if you are a ninja and have to work overtime, do you think you have to work overtime if you are a rouge ninja?

In this silence, Makoto took a rare moment of laziness.

In the dark room, Makoto, who had been studying Konoha's fluid taijutsu technique with Minatsuki all night, was enjoying the rare silence.

At this moment, system this thief jumped out again.

This guy usually sticks out and pretends to be dead without any reaction. But as soon as the fun comes, it shows up immediately.

[Fate...]

[Let the most powerful suffer the loneliness of salvation.]

[Let the most sincere be covered with the mask of betrayal.]

[Let the most compassionate be manipulated by fate.]

[Let the most elegant erase the arrogant capital.]

[Let the most complicated not be able to dance on the stage.]

[Let the craziest abandon the meaning of survival.]

[Let the most enlightened fall into the trouble of ego.]

[Let the distressed lose their concerns.]

[Let the dreamers break their dream.]

[Let the talented fall due to life and death.]

[Let the purest walk in the dark sea of stars.]

[Let the most humble close and cherish feelings.]

[Let the happiest feel the true meaning of pain.]

At this point, the system suddenly paused, and then the text behind it was revealed.

[Don't ask whether the bonfire should be burned, first ask if the cold and darkness are still there;]

[Don't ask whether the bullet should be loaded, first ask whether oppression and exploitation are still there;]

[Don't ask whether there will be a tomorrow for the cause of justice, first ask whether the injustice in the world still exists today.]

[Even in the deepest darkness, there are people who roar into the light.]

[The enlightened one is the happiest.]

Just when Makoto wanted to complain about this embarrassing thing, a large number of tasks in the system unexpectedly changed.

The combat missions have not changed at all, they are still the same three.

Among them, only the task of defeating Pain was completed.

What matters is career and business sections.

The number of business tasks has dropped by hundreds, while the number of career tasks has increased by hundreds.

What's even worse is that most of the hundreds of extra life tasks are emotional kind.

What Makoto hates the most is emotional tasks, because they are completely uncontrollable.

And he can be 100% sure that there is a huge pit underneath every emotional task – hell, Aunt Snake's task really scared him so much that he almost didn't fall asleep.

Although human gender is free, even if Aunt Snake said her gender was an armed helicopter, Makoto didn't think it was a big deal, but this guy had such a high affinity with him, he was still a little stressed...

Now that the system has suddenly changed so much, what are you trying to do?

However, the system did nothing. After refreshing the task, it disappeared again.

If there is anything weird, it is that after refreshing the task, one task was completed directly.

It's still in the career section.

[On the road: No matter what, I survived, didn't I?]

[Survive a year without any damage on the body.]

This system task is very strange... What this guy means is that if he is not careful, he will...

The system's explanation was always simple and clear, but from its concise and concise explanation, Makoto vaguely felt a murderous intention.

It seems that in addition to the Fourth Ninja War, he should have encountered many crises.

But unknowingly, there seemed to be some power that helped him and allowed him to get through it smoothly, without even feeling too much pressure... Is that what you meant?

But what exactly is this power?

It doesn't seem to have appeared in Naruto.

Nor does it look like the system itself.

Makoto couldn't think of it, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

He squirmed like a maggot, and then buried his face in his wife's arms.

Misunderstanding Char, understanding Char, and becoming Char.

T/N: Char refers 'Char Aznable', who is one of the main antagnists in Mobile Suit Gundam

At this moment, he was no longer Hokage, but a child of three years and many months.

"Dear, you are really... –

"Hah..."

Minatsuki muttered, but still sang the songs of the Land of Water gently, soothing the man's tired body and mind.

It's been a year and it's time to take a good rest.

There is no light in the darkness, but it makes people feel endless peace of mind.

Until...the door was kicked in from the outside.

"Haku, come out and play! –

"There are a lot of children outside, we can play hide and seek together!"

Temari, wearing a cute little cotton skirt, put her hands on her hips, as proud as a princess, interrupting the silence.

...Sure enough, loafing is an extravagant hope.

... ...

Makoto still wanted to lie down for a while, but since the children from the orphanage were already here, he had to brace himself to deal with it.

The parents of these children in the orphanage are basically Konoha ninjas. They sacrificed their lives for Konoha, which is already very pitiful. It's rare to come out and play together, so I can't let people down too much.

So Makoto used a Hell Viewing technique on himself, and instantly he became more energetic.

He asked Haku and Minatsuki to get up, and then saw dozens of Konoha orphans who had come with Nono – naturally, there are not only a few orphans in the orphanage, but Nono has obviously gone through a lot of selection and found the most obedient ones, otherwise the Hokage's house will definitely not be saved today...

"Hokage-sama!"

"Hokage-sama!"

It felt really good to be called by a group of milk dumplings. Makoto agreed with a smile, and then handed out candies to them one by one.

Even though it's not Halloween, there's always something wrong with giving out candy.

The children happily took the candy, shouted again, and then dispersed with laughter.

Under Temari's greeting, a large group of children gathered together, chattering for a while, and finally decided to play Eagle catching Chicks together.

...Fortunately, the Hokage's house is big enough to allow them to be so noisy.

"Isn't this a bit too presumptuous..." After the children left, Makoto shamelessly grabbed Nono's hand. Nono blushed and panicked, but couldn't shake it off directly, so she could only stare at him with moist eyes, "It's always bad when children don't follow any rules..."

"It doesn't matter, Temari is also lonely and doesn't have many friends. We just happen to have fun together."

Temari is destined to be an unfortunate child.

Kazekage is definitely not a qualified father. Now that she stays in Konoha all year round, her relationship with her two younger brothers is definitely not as close as in the original work.

She is still young, but she is already the Hokage's fiancée. Apart from Haku, the only people who can enter her social circle are ladies from big clans...

Her social circle is pitifully narrow.

Even worse than Kushina.

Kushina is still an adult after all, and she has Mikoto as her true best friend...

Children at this age may not realize it yet, but in a few years, they should realize the problem.

To put it bluntly, Konoha is, after all, an authoritarian system with a strong military atmosphere.

–You, a super Kage, are attacking a whole village one by one. There is nothing you can do if you don't have authority.

Before the thick barrier was fully formed, all Makoto could do was let her play as much as possible.

"As for Temari-san...you are so gentle."

"Ha, rotten people like us are destined to go to hell."

"No, the gods and Buddhas will know, and everyone will know. Everyone knows about the good things you have done... and they will bless you."

Maybe beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

No matter what bastard thing he did, Nono would forgive him.

...Forget it, let's not talk about this on a happy day like today.

So Makoto immediately became happy and took Nono to join the farce.

The children laughed and laughed together and were very happy.

This may be the happiest moment of their year.

Makoto felt that the atmosphere was good, so he started handing out red envelopes.

This is what he's best at.

While he was doing this, he secretly gave Temari the red envelope he had prepared earlier.

After Temari opened it, she laughed and jumped, extremely happy.

Haku also received her own red envelope.

Inside is a wish coupon hand-drawn by Makoto.

"What can a small wish coupon... do?"

"Just give me the wish coupon and I can do one thing for you."

"Huh? Can I get a hug?"

Maybe it's because the memory of the previous wanderings is too deep, but this girl Haku is particularly attached to him.

So Makoto immediately gave her a hug.

Haku wanted to return the wish coupon to Makoto, but Makoto didn't take it.

"If it's you, you don't need a wish coupon for this kind of wish."

Haku was a little confused, but also a little happy.

She solemnly stuffed the wish coupon into her arms.

At this time, the children were already making a fuss around Temari.

Even a child knows that the gold shop contract is very valuable... it should be able to buy a lot of cones, right?

So a group of children laughed and asked her to treat them. The bold princess waved her little hand and rushed out with the children.

Nono quickly told them to run slower.

The masked Anbu followed quietly.

After the children made a fuss, the Hokage's house became quiet for a while.

But soon, people from all walks of life began to come to the door.

In Konoha, on a big day like the New Year, there is no reason why small clans from all walks of life should not come to visit him as the Hokage.

In fact, it wasn't just Konoha.

Like the senior advisors of Konoha in the Land of Fire, they need to come to communicate with each other personally to some extent.

As the leader of Kusagakure, Ryusei couldn't leave for a while, but he had to send someone over to deliver a gift.

There are also many friends from big companies and big capital...

The entire Hokage's house was extremely lively for a while.

When a group of people gather together, they have endless things to say.

Fortunately, everyone was more measured and didn't say anything serious. While chatting, Jiraiya suggested that everyone play mahjong together.

So everyone gathered in the hall and started playing mahjong.

Makoto, Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuuga Hiashi, and Jiraiya were at the same table.

But unfortunately, he was kicked out by them soon.

Because he has been getting thirteen orphans consecutive times.

They seriously suspected him of cheating.

– You cheaters, you have Sharingan, Byakugan, and a physical strength of 5, who can cheat in front of you? If Amae Koromo comes over, she will lose her pants, okay?

T/N: 'Amae Koromo' refers to a character from a 2009 anime Saki

Can't I get lucky for once?

...Speaking of which, since the end of the fourth Ninja War, he seems to have never lost at cards...

In desperation, Makoto had no choice but to come to the atrium and make mochi with Kakashi and Shisui.

This is really a traditional hard job.

Just look at Kakashi's eyes, as if Ace was watching Minami Yuko and Taro make mochi together... But what can he do? Only the two of them can make mochi...

T/N: 'Ace', 'Minami Yuko', and 'Taro'refers to the Ultraman series

Let others do it, and the taste will not be authentic.

... ...

Before you know it, time has passed.

The sky gradually became dark, and the watery moonlight enveloped the surrounding areas.

As an organization with a tradition of military control, Konoha should calm down at this time.

But today is different.

Under Makoto's arrangement, three top performance teams entered Konoha and started performing.

Of course, it was in the business district, not Konoha headquarters.

But even so, the children were very happy.

It is true that in terms of excitement, these performance teams are definitely not as good as Ninja. But for the children, the most attractive thing is not the performance, but the lively and relaxed atmosphere.

Their parents don't have to think about killing and being killed.

Everyone had a smile on their face.

There are also various small dolls and gifts that the performance team constantly distributes.

This is the happiest thing in the world.

The busiest time is when all kinds of fireworks begin to bloom over Konoha.

The east wind blows thousands of trees into bloom at night. More blowing down, the stars are like rain.

BMW carved cars fill the road with fragrance. The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot filled with light, and fish and dragons danced all night.

Only today, parents have let go of all restrictions on their children, allowing them to play as much as they want.

Maybe many years from now, some children will still remember today's lively scene...

While it was extremely lively outside, the atmosphere at the Hokage's house was also heightened to its peak.

On the one hand, it was because the children were back, but on the other hand... little Naruto was fed and vomited.

Little Naruto is obviously a sociophobic – a social terrorist. He has never liked staying in a small room since he was a child, but prefers to stay in the living room.

Originally, Minatsuki fed him personally. However, there were too many people today. This was the first time Minatsuki encountered this kind of thing. She was so busy that she didn't have time to feed him. She put him on the sofa and wrote a note next to him for the nanny to see and feed him.

As a result...Naruto was fed by a bunch of people.

Tsunade was very happy to see Naruto and fed him.

Jiraiya was very happy to see Naruto and fed him.

Sandaime was very happy to see Naruto and fed him.

Makoto was very happy to see Naruto and fed him.

Kakashi was very happy to see Naruto and fed him.

A lot of Yondaime's friends and old subordinates saw Naruto and fed him... Then Naruto couldn't hold on and vomited.

Fortunately, Naruto was born with a special physique and didn't cause any trouble. After vomiting for a while, Tsunade helped to adjust it again, and it was no longer a problem.

A group of grown men were poked in the head by Tsunade, and the boss was embarrassed.

It's really a father taking care of the baby, as long as he doesn't die...

Fortunately, there were some smart ones among them, and they quickly turned the topic to little Naruto.

So the women immediately stopped talking and entered the stage of showing off their babies.

Little Naruto's genes can be said to be quite good – from the fact that his hair color is the same as that of the Yondaime, directly suppressing the red hair gene of the Uzumaki lineage, everyone know how awesome the Yondaime's genes are.

And because Minatsuki took care of the baby seriously, little Naruto at this time had already shown a bit of a genius.

At the very least, he can already talk to people in a stagnant voice.

When Makoto lifts him up high, he will smile and call him daddy.

When Minatsuki lifts him up high, he will smile and call her mommy.

When Temari lifts him up high, he would smile and call her sister.

When Haku lifts him up high, he will laugh and call mommy.

...As a child, it's normal to call someone wrong.

Being able to shout out is already a victory.

He even calls him daddy...but he and the Yondaime have a good relationship, so the Yondaime probably won't kill him...

When clans from all walks of life come to pay New Year greetings, many of them bring their children with them.

Uchiha Mikoto took Sasuke with her, so Mikoto placed Sasuke next to little Naruto to see how he would scream.

Little Naruto seemed very happy to see little Sasuke and opened his mouth.

"Wife!"

Everyone was stunned.

Makoto thought that little Naruto had made a mistake.

After all, he is still such a small baby.

So he teased Naruto and asked him to say it again.

Naruto shouted again very happily.

"Wife!"

"Who taught Naruto to call like that..."

So everyone looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi was also confused.

"Why was your first reaction is to look at me? –

"It's really not me this time!"

... ...

Adults and children gathered together at the Hokage's house. People were laughing and making fun, making the entire Hokage's house abuzz.

But this may also be the most relaxing time since the founding of the entire Konoha village.

After all, they are far away from the war, and their days are prospering visibly to the naked eye... It is a pity that, as a film actor, Makoto cannot see the end.

At the very least, his shadow clone couldn't see the end.

Makoto is famously not fond of using shadow clones, but today, he rarely used them.

There is never more than light in the world.

And people like him...are destined for hell.

While the crowd was laughing and laughing, Makoto's shadow clone met several friends.

The first one is a senior advisor of Konoha.

He wants to increase taxes in the Land of Fire.

He didn't give a reason, and Makoto didn't ask.

Although he could probably guess the reason – it was simply that the daimyo wanted to build a few new gardens.

The Land of Fire has recovered well this year, and the Daimyo has also started to think about it.

But it is foreseeable that this will encounter a lot of opposition.

After all, it is impossible for the chaebols and big landowners to provide this money.

So he hopes to get Konoha's support.

Of course, in return, he would support Konoha in some ways.

Makoto nodded to indicate that he understood.

The second person is Kazehana Sosetsu.

After the previous press conference, Konoha had promised to help Kazehana Sosetsu clean up the rebellion.

It's just that Kazehana Sosetsu hoped to reduce the casualties of the people of Land of Snow as much as possible, so he chose to send a letter of credence first, and then asked Makoto to delay sending troops.

Makoto agreed.

Since he is not in a hurry, Makoto is naturally not in a hurry either. It is also a good thing to let the brothers have a full New Year.

It's just that Kazehana Sosetsu came to him this time, but it wasn't for this matter.

He asked Makoto about his views on the current situation – obviously, after experiencing his younger brother's coup, Kazehana Sosetsu  felt the pulse of the times.

Considering that the opportunity was rare, Makoto briefly followed Kazehana Sosetsu and mentioned the advanced monarch offline system.

This superior system was inspired by the benevolent kings of Africa.

Since I make money in Africa and spend money in London, why don't I just live in London?

In fact, based on the current situation, the countries in the Naruto world are somewhat interested in developing in that direction.

The kings of the country said that at best they were ruling from the top down, but at worst they said it would be the same with or without them.

Maybe it would be better without them.

For example, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is always idle.

However, the conservative forces are too strong, and even the industrialists can tolerate having a ruler on their head.

If these country leaders are really willing to take charge, they will really be a very powerful political and economic force...

The ninjas were strong, but their political influence was indeed far inferior to that of the daimyo.

Don't ask why he looked so embarrassed. The first Hokage didn't work part-time as a junior high school student in the Land of Fire, which was outrageous in itself.

But the Land of Snow is not the Land of Fire, and Kazehana Sosetsu is not an ambitious young man like his brother. He is just a daughter-con whose will is not completely weak.

Now that he has felt the changes in the world, he might give in for the sake of his daughter.

–After all, what everyone is fighting for is nothing more than profit. You are offline, so naturally no one will mess with you.

If retaining the royal brand can bring more tax revenue to the country, why not retain it?

Although it was still very early, he might not even be able to wait in his lifetime. But Makoto knew very well that sooner or later the ninja circle would have to compete with ordinary people, and Konoha, as the most powerful hidden village, must be the leader among them.

Kazehana Sosetsu is a pretty good person, and she is a friend you can make. If there is no need, Makoto doesn't want to be hostile to him.

But when Makoto said this, Kazehana Sosetsu's face immediately showed some hesitation.

"This...the inheritance of my ancestors has been handed over to me...I can't...after I go to the Pure Land, I can't explain it to them..."

Makoto had known this would happen for a long time.

The most difficult thing to change is a person's thoughts and concepts.

Kazehana Sosetsu is easy to talk to, and Konoha still has a life-saving grace for him, but it is so difficult to convince him, not to mention the other truly powerful kings.

The future result will definitely be a criticism of physics.

He is just planting a seed now to let Kazehana Sosetsu have such a thought. If he is really willing to go offline, that is of course the best and can set a better example for others.

If he ends up... there's nothing we can do about it.

The tide of the times is roaring, and everyone can only move forward bravely. Those who cannot move forward can only be eliminated.

Anyway, he said that if the worst case scenario still happens, it can only be said that it is fate.

Both of them knew that the matter was sensitive, so they stopped talking about it in depth and casually changed the topic.

"Godaime Hokage-sama, you are famous for your unique vision. I wonder who you think is the hero in today's world?"

Makoto knew that this was Kazehana Sosetsu's desire for a son-in-law.

He is such a one-child. If he doesn't adopt a son-in-law, wouldn't the family be extinct?

As for the emotional problems between her daughter and her son-in-law... this is not a big problem. The biggest problem is to recruit a few more excellent young men and put them by her side. Whichever one she finally likes, she can choose that one.

This is the power of a princess.

Makoto knew that now was a good opportunity.

If Naruto and Kazehana Koyuki were to form a bond, it would be equivalent to directly tying the Land of Snow to Konoha's chariot.

Kazehana Koyuki has the best appearance in the original work – how can she be ugly when she is a female star? After she has grown up, her character is not bad either. From every angle, she is quite outstanding.

But he didn't do that.

There are no political or economic considerations here, it's just that he doesn't want to force Naruto.

The melons that are forced are not sweet, and my wife is really going to live a lifetime. Konoha is not so poor that it relies on marriage to survive...

Sasuke's and Naruto's ultimate strength allowed them to freely have a pure love without any impurities.

No matter who Naruto likes, he, as his uncle, can help.

Can't be Kakashi either.

Makoto just wanted him to be the Rokudaime – who made this guy the most disdainful among his peers.

The Rokudaime Hokage really has no business being a son-in-law.

So...

"Asuma of the Sarutobi family is capable of both literary and martial arts and is very handsome."

Asuma's situation is similar to Jia Baoyu's. They both look awesome, but in fact... take off the skin of the Duke's palace, and Jia Baoyu is just the second son of a second son.

T/N: Jia Baoyu is a character of a 18th century Chinese novel,  Dream of the Read Chamber

That is to say, Jia's mother is still there, which means that he still has a concubine sister. Otherwise, if the family is really separated, he will get a little bit of property at most, and he will not even think about his political status.

Asuma is more powerful than Jia Baoyu. But in order to show fairness, the Sandaime could not give him more resources.

After all, the Sarutobi family is also inherited by the eldest son.

Asuma had an older brother, even if his older brother died, there would still be Konohamaru.

From a purely utilitarian point of view, this is a good opportunity for Asuma – With the example of Kazehana Doto in the past, Kazehana Sosetsu will definitely work hard to create a master who can take charge of the family, and there is absolutely no need to worry about resources. With this resource support, Asuma might be able to venture further.

Whether it is personal strength or status.

Of course, Makoto knew that with Asuma's character, he might not be willing to live off a woman.

But the opportunity presented itself, and as a Kage, he had to fight for it.

I'll help you fight for the opportunity, it's not your business.

"Asuma... I do hear his name occasionally." It seems that Kazehana Sosetsu has not been in Konoha for nothing these days. He has inquired about some things. "It's just that the Sarutobi family has been loyal for generations, but I am. It's not easy to win people's love."

To say that it's not easy to win people's love is because you don't want to.

Makoto thought about it for a while and thought of another one.

"So, there are still a few young talents in Konoha..."

There are indeed many young masters in Konoha, and most of them are not married. The most important thing is that they are all close to the Hokage lineage.

There is no way, now that you are in this position, your purpose cannot be pure.

But on a serious note, the talents recommended by Makoto are all very outstanding talents. Not a single parallel importer is a true hero who has experienced war.

It's just that they are a few years older than Kazehana Koyuki.

But that's not a big deal.

They can definitely afford to wait.

Even if she has no feelings now, little girls always like heroes. After a few years of training, they will become a good couple.

But Makoto kept mentioning names one after another, but Kazehana Sosetsu shook his head.

...This won't work, that won't work either. Who do you want to be your son-in-law?

Isn't it from Konoha?

Why are you asking me if your son-in-law is not from Konoha?

I can't say Killer B, right?

Those he just mentioned are all real elites, and they may be willing to marry into their families.

Or...you wouldn't have fallen in love with Pain...this would be a bit too much...

All in all, Makoto and Kazehana Sosetsu chatted for a long time, but they could not reach a consensus in the end.

Makoto really couldn't figure out what kind of person he wanted to choose as his son-in-law. In the end, everyone stopped talking and dispersed politely.

... ...

The last person Makoto met was a representative of the industrial faction.

It's not that I don't respect the boss, but he is also very busy and can't spare the time. In the end, I didn't come here until almost early in the morning.

"Sorry, I really kept you waiting."

"Why don't you?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing each other's difficulties and hardships, so they skipped these and talked about business directly.

Industry representatives are here for transportation capacity and subsequent project development.

"A floating fortress, isn't that enough?"

"What's enough? There are 312 cities in the Land of Fire!"

Yes, this guy wants to open up the entire country's logistics system in one fell swoop.

This is certainly a good thing.

But the Reibi structure is by no means a temporary thing.

The first one can be revived, but the second one has to be started from scratch.

This problem is really difficult, and neither side has a good solution.

If you can't do this kind of hard power thing, you just can't do it.

As for new projects…

Of course, what industrial capital longs for most is to multiply itself crazily, but in this era of crazy capital flow, there are too many things sprouting. For a time, the industrial representatives didn't know what to vote for.

Makoto was known for his methods, so he came over to ask Makoto if he had any ideas.

Makoto really knew about this.

After all, his country has gone through this stage. If it doesn't work, why can't he copy homework?

What really puts Makoto in a dilemma is how to take advantage of this opportunity to let the industrialists settle the allocation of the Land of Fire's daimyo.

The chaebol is unwilling to pay this money.

Unless... they have to pay this money.

Makoto thought about the two things together for a while, and finally came up with a solution.

"Perhaps we can improve Reibi."

"What... improvements?"

"The biggest advantage of Reibi is its extremely high energy conversion ratio. Dozens of people can activate the floating fortress. But Reibi itself has combat capabilities, and for you, combat capabilities are not necessary... To put it bluntly, don't you just need a device that can absorb negative emotions and life force as energy? We just do it right away."

This is quite outrageous.

Basically, a tank is dismantled and only its two wheels are retained.

But the industrialists really only need these two wheels.

"According to your statement, the ability of the new version of Reibi will definitely be greatly weakened, and it will no longer be able to drive large floating fortresses. What do we do with these things that can't drive large floating fortresses?"

"Let's make three wheeled trucks."

Industry representatives have question marks on their head.

"What is that?"

"That's the liberated rural demand and transportation capacity."
