Hokage-sama in the Land of Snow

The Chakra powered covered three wheeled car has ended its trial period and is now on sale in the market.

This name is indeed a bit strange, but it has an abbreviation - three-bouncer.

No one knows why everyone calls it that. The abbreviation is weirder than its name, but since the Hokage of Konoha calls it that, everyone just accepts it.

For historians, this is the first batch of scientific ninja tools produced in the world for use by non-ninjas – the definition of scientific ninja tools was also proposed by the Godaime.

He can always bring some new tricks to everyone.

But seriously, no one on the market can see these weird and running little things for the first time.

Because the first batch of 5,000 three-wheeler produced had just come off the production line and been debugged, they were taken away by powerful people with cash.

The price set by the manufacturer was 45,000 ryo per car, and the other party took all of it directly.

Not even a counteroffer.

The manufacturer tried hard to convince themselves that not a single car was left, which almost led to the tragedy of not having a single car left on sale.

In the end, the factory worked overtime and worked hard to come up with more than a hundred prototype cars, which prevented the tragedy from happening.

But even these more than a hundred prototype cars have not escaped the abuse of some powerful businessmen who came late.

As soon as the car arrived, it was stopped again by someone carrying cash.

On the first day of opening, the citizens who came to see the excitement saw almost nothing.

But they will soon discover the power of these little things.

The carrying capacity of a few hundred kilograms is indeed not much, but it is cheap and does not matter the terrain...

It has to be said that most of the wealthy businessmen of this era are just bad, not stupid.

The car is only selling for 45,000 ryo now. If you want to buy another one in the future, you can't tell how much it will cost... Anyway, with the Land of Fire's current transportation capacity requirements, the demand is almost unlimited.

This situation is not likely to change for quite some time.

The internal combustion engine originally had a chance to compete in this extremely huge market, but...if you surrender, you will lose half of it; if you surrender, you will lose half of it.

Although the joint investigation of Konoha and other ninja villages proved that all this was indeed done by a man named Pain and had nothing to do with Konoha, but everyone is not fools...

The first few have already gone to see the Sage of Six Paths, and everyone's primary goal is to make money. In this case, why bother worrying about less important things.

Ordinary vehicles are profitable, and scientific ninja vehicles are also profitable. In the eyes of wealthy businessmen, there is actually no difference.

Three-wheeler is really delicious.

Anyway, people's evaluation of it is very good...it is really cheap.

Its price dispels most people's dissatisfaction with its inherent flaws.

If there is any request, many people hope that the factory can continue to develop new models, such as chakra-powered large trucks.

After all, many large factory owners really need models with large load capacity.

The factory agreed immediately.

This is actually not difficult.

It is nothing more than replacing the original internal combustion engine with a chakra interface, and no major changes are needed elsewhere.

However, as the car continues to be promoted, someone has discovered a new business opportunity – not the car itself, but the chakra center that provides energy to the car.

From the current point of view, except for large trucks, ordinary three-bouncers cannot be equipped with Reibi techniques.

The miniaturization of that thing still needs some time to go.

If three-wheeler wants to recharge now, it can only go to the Chakra Center.

This is actually not a big deal. After all, the three-wheeler itself is cheap, and it is even cheaper to charge – chakra centers are mostly built next to large factories. The roads are already very good, and large factory owners often organize workers to go there to export negative emotions... Large factory owners would rather give money and let the workers go.

There is no need to say more about the reason.

Fortunately, because of Konoha Hokage's desire to have a son, there hasn't been any trouble in the chakra center so far.

But in the eyes of others, this is an extremely huge business opportunity...

As long as the profit is sufficient, what about harvesting and cutting?

There is never a shortage of bad people in the world.

Konoha has been refusing to let go, but in order to make profits, someone always has a way...

Stumblingly, the scientific ninja tool finally took root in the Naruto world.

However, all the ninja forces were surprisingly quiet and did not make any decent response to this event that would go down in history.

Sunagakure won't talk about it. Kirigakure has been silent for the past few months and is close to hanging up.

Even Iwagakure and Kumogakure, who had never dealt with Konoha, strangely didn't say a word.

The Great Hidden Village was like this, and the Small Hidden Village and the small forces did not show up.

And the reason why they reacted this way...

Konoha, something seems to have happened.

What exactly it is, no one knows. But from the noisy wind, the sensitive ninjas had already sensed something abnormal.

Before taking action, they decided to wait and see.

–The fifth generation is too serious right now. Who knows if something really happened or if this guy is fishing again!

... ...

The sun is so nice today.

The Sandaime Hokage sat by the lake and fished quietly. The green smoke slowly emerged from his pipe. He occasionally took a sip and felt extremely comfortable all over.

As a skilled ninja, Sandaime has nine ways to catch fish right now.

Nine ways.

But he didn't do that.

Because he enjoys the harmonious and peaceful time now.

Even if...there are two flies chattering beside him.

"Sandaime! Take care of the Godaime! If he continues like this, Konoha will fall into a situation of no return!"

"Yes, yes, the Godaime is too young. He doesn't know how high the sky is and doesn't respect his seniors. Sooner or later something will happen!"

The two Konoha elders kept nagging beside the Sandaime, ruining the beautiful and peaceful atmosphere now.

But the Sandaime didn't scold them after all.

After all, they were of the same generation as him.

The older we get, the more likely we are to feel nostalgic. At the Sandaime stage, friends really die one by one and lose one by one.

This is perhaps the saddest thing in the world. People who love you and people who hate you have all left you, leaving you alone, living alone in this world...

Therefore, no matter how nagging they were, Sandaime did not scold them.

– Of course, I don't agree with their views.

From just now to now, they have been persuading the Sandaime to reduce the expenditure of the ninja school and recruit fewer students... this is a high-sounding statement, but the actual meaning is to reduce the influence of the Godaime.

The Godaime had only been in power for a year, and he immediately convinced everyone. Any order issued by him will be implemented 100%.

You must know that the Godaime has never even led a Genin team. When he first came to power, he really didn't even have a close student.

But in just one year, everything changed.

From the perspective of the Sandaime, this is of course a good thing, which shows that he has a good vision.

But for the elders...

It's unclear why Danzo died. Although it was definitely not Makoto's fault, everyone always felt that it was related to this guy... The most important thing is that he only trusted the new ninja and kicked out all the elders.

Ruthlessly and decisively, all the elders were kicked out.

There is no room for compromise.

No face at all.

Who come to say love is useless.

That is, the Sandaime is dead or alive not to come forward, otherwise Konoha really have to come again to a high-level war... although the result may be the whole Konoha of clans together to beat them...

Seeing the Konoha flourishing, but with absolutely nothing to do with themselves, the genros lamented, but their hearts were also unusually dissatisfied – they are all this age, and do not ask to be a hand of any kind, at the very least, they must be allowed to shine a little, right?

Why is it that they refuse to agree?

Elsewhere, isn't the Godaime quite flexible?

Because of all sorts of grievances, the seniors of the third generation of the various kinds of eye medicine has never stopped.

Sandaime knew this all too well, but to protect these old friends, he usually just went in one ear and out the other.

But today, these two old friends got to the point when they were shredding.

They brought up the matter of those reserve ninjas in the ninja school.

Nowadays, there were too many reserve ninjas.

As of now, the number of reserve ninjas had exceeded 1,200 - and that was just at the beginning of the year!

Sandaime was aware of the enrollment plan of the ninja school, and there was a high probability that this year's number would break 2000.

In the past, this was a number that one wouldn't even dare to think about.

For every ninja trained, the school had to pay a little cost. And Makoto is not just accepting students, he is also responsible for the students' two meals.

Half a big boy, eat poor old man, this saying is not joking.

Not to mention that because of the nature of chakra, the actual energy consumption of a ninja was much greater than that of a normal person - chakra was a mixture of physical and mental energy. If you didn't eat more, where would you get the chakra?

The various daily consumptions of two thousand students were terrifying.

Moreover, according to Sandaime's own experience, combined with the current performance of the ninja school, if the expansion to 2,000, the first one hundred students can indeed be said to be excellent, the first five hundred are also okay, the quality of about 1,000 is very poor, and after 1,500... I'm afraid that being cannon fodder is also very strenuous, right?

There is a reason why the ninja academy has always enrolled only a small number of students.

Funding is one thing, and secondly Konoha doesn't really have that many suitable students.

Spiritual and physical energy was available to anyone.

But not everyone can condense chakra.

Even after condensing chakra, not everyone was suited to be a professional warrior like a ninja – there were always people who were timid and cowardly and had poor tolerance.

The fact that so many people could be put together now could only be described as draining the children of Konoha and Kusagakure.

Everyone knew that there would be a great war nine years later, and increasing the amount of cannon fodder made sense. But to increase so much cannon fodder, isn't it ...

These hundreds of ninja trainees at the end of the line could indeed work out their chakra, but no matter what they were allowed to do, Sandaime felt wary.

These several hundred reserve ninjas were perfectly fine to lay off.

But after all, it was Godaime's idea, and Sandaime was not in a position to directly refute it – after all, Godaime was notorious for preferring to walk upside down, but always managed to accomplish his goals in all sorts of dodgy ways and never suffered.

Moreover, in front of people, Sandaime didn't want to leave an impression that Sandaime and Godaime didn't get along.

So after a moment of silence, he still laughed, lifted the fish basket and left.

The two elders saw Sandaime like this, also can only helplessly give up.

... However, the two men said, after all, in Sandaime's heart set off a little ripple.

Konoha recently spends too much money, and the expenditure on education is so heavy, Konoha finances really support it?

Sandaime knew, of course, that Konoha had been earning money.

But he couldn't touch the books after all, and it was always a bit of a panic when he didn't see the actual figures in his heart – Sandaime had retired very cleanly, and hadn't asked for any privileges, and naturally, financial rights were included.

He decided to go have a good talk with Godaime.

If this was really just part of his plan, then he supported it.

If this time it was a mistake on his part ... there was still time to amend it.

Sandaime does not think that young people make mistakes is something shameful, today's shinobi world has become incredibly strange, everyone has never encountered.

Even he, the old man is confused, Godaime he occasionally can not eat the direction, make some mistakes, is also very normal ...

With such thoughts in mind, Sandaime walked towards the Hokage tower.

　　But halfway there, he met the maid of honor of the Princess of the Land of Snow – at least it is a princess, there must be a few maids of honor around her to make it look good.

The maid looked flustered.

"Did something happen?"

"Sandaime-sama!" The maid saw that it was Sandaime and barely calmed down a bit, "May I ask if you've seen Her Highness? I just went to the restroom and she disappeared ..."

"Gone? How ... did you see a cat or some other small animal, so you ran after it?"

Although they did not get along for a long time, but on the whole, Koyuki-hime is the kind of good child character that is very obedient.

During the time she had come to Konoha, she had always behaved gently and was polite to everyone, without the kind of arrogance common to nobles.

Sandaime didn't think she would run amok.

"A cat? ...maybe... but I..."

"Okay, okay, I get it."

This was Konoha, after all, and with Barrier Team's constant monitoring, it was never too late to be robbed. Sandaime called to one of the Anbu that had been following him and signaled for him to go and help find it.

With a thousand thanks from the little maid, the Anbu left Sandaime's sight.

Sandaime didn't put too much stock in the matter and made his way to the Hokage tower and walked up to the Hokage office.

He looked towards the office, only to see that Godaime wasn't in the office, and the only person in there was Kakashi, who looked worried like he was about to lose his hair, and kept walking back and forth in there.

Eh? Not in?

Sandaime knocked on the office door.

"Makoto, can we talk now?"

The words were unusual.

Yet to the naked eye, Kakashi cringed.

But it was clear that he didn't dare to refuse Sandaime.

So grudgingly, Kakashi said inside.

"Is that Sandaime-sama? Please come in."

Sandaime, who had doubts in his mind, pushed the door and walked in.

"Kakashi, have you seen Makoto?"

"Uh... that..."

Kakashi averted his gaze.

Instead of answering directly, he began to swallow.

This small detail immediately caught Sandaime's attention.

This reaction of Kakashi's was very odd.

Kakashi had really become more and more crumbly because he had been following Makoto for a long time. However, Sandaime had been a Hokage himself and knew the difficulties of being a Hokage.

In his heart, he actually knew very well that there were times when a little bit of crumbs was rather good.

A guy who was as dismissive as this should have acted very calmly towards his question.

It wasn't like it was a big deal.

Unless...

With the previous Genin suggestion, coupled with the uneasiness in his heart and Kakashi's reaction at this moment... Sandaime's tone finally took on a bit of urgency.

"Kakashi, where's Makoto?"

Kakashi was getting more and more embarrassed.

"Sandaime-sama! As Hokage's secretary, I have to keep some secrets for Godaime-sama – like I can't tell his whereabouts without his permission!"

Things were getting weird.

"Can't even tell me?"

"No, I didn't mean that... I'm just saying that... I have to ensure Godaime's safety... especially at certain times, and that no one else can be forcibly intervene..."

Kakashi's repeated excuses raised the unease in Sandaime's heart to the limit.

This look on his face made Sandaime feel like he had to ask for clarification.

"If you don't tell me, how do I know if Godaime is safe? Does it need to be intervened?"

Kakashi's expression was unusually sad.

After much hesitation, Kakashi decided to draw a picture.

"If you are so insistent..."

Very quickly, Kakashi finished drawing a picture.

It was a sketch, but Sandaime could still tell that it depicted Konoha.

"But there's no Makoto on it."

Kakashi pursed his mouth into a line.

Sandaime snapped out of it.

"The painting is Konoha, there's no Makoto in Konoha... He ran outside again? –

"Who is the scourge this time... not right! –

"Even if he does it to others, he should have to mention it to us, how... and... isn't it related to Koyuki-hime?"

Other times, Sandaime must not be the first to associate with Koyuki-hime.

After all, she was not a ninja.

But having encountered Koyuki-hime's maid before, his logic naturally went in that direction.

Yet even more oddly, Kakashi didn't nod or shake his head.

But Sandaime was self-conscious that he had found the crux of the problem.

"What's he doing out with Koyuki-hime? –

"Could it be that he went back to the Land of Snow? ...No, I have to go and ask for clarification!"

Sandaime said and hurried out.

... ...

Meanwhile, in the middle of Kazehana Koyuki's boudoir, Makoto was leading a group of accountants controlled by his genjutsu, and was playing around with false accounts.

–Even though it was a boudoir, Koyuki-hime's room was huge. In addition to the bedroom, there was a large meeting room outside, and there was no need to worry about a group of people seeing anything they shouldn't.

Koyuki-hime couldn't help much as she didn't know the accounting business, so she could only watch a bunch of people going crazy.

"Godaime-sama, is it really good for you to lie to Sandaime-sama like this?"

"He is the elder after all."

"And ... aren't you the Hokage? Who are you showing these fake accounts to?"

The thing Makoto asked Kazehana Koyuki to help him with was for him to temporarily hide in her room and frantically create fake accounts.

Trying to spread out all of Konoha's profits from last year to now, using accountant techniques, to make an genjutsu that Konoha was currently in heavy debt.

Honestly, this is a bit difficult.

Because Konoha now has too much income – even if we don't talk about those things that Makoto himself has gotten up to, Konoha is now as the world's number one hidden village, itself is trusted by the gold masters' dads, and all kinds of big tasks are the first thing that comes to mind is Konoha...

Just based on these serious income, is an astronomical figure.

And now, Makoto is to take a large number of profitable super entity and make a loss... really hair falling off.

But he must do it.

Because any reform is bound to be obstructed by many people, big or small just.

Makoto's TV plan this time has a certain impact on the world, not to mention the Chakra Revolution that was quietly hidden inside him.

The hostile forces outside, he wasn't afraid at all, and really couldn't let Nagato go to the car.

What really kills, on the contrary, is those old antiques at home.

There is no way, Sandaime stingy search habitual, usually can not wait for a sub divided into two halves to spend.

If it is in order to make money, then invest some upfront, he can still understand.

But now Makoto is directly open secret pass...

Although this thing called hiden is also divided into three, six, nine classes, the hiden of the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan is definitely not of the same nature as those of the small clans – to Makoto's current eyesight, the so-called small clans' hiden is actually the same as the small life tricks.

You can't say it's useless.

But if you want it to have a big effect, that's also a bit...

This kind of hiden, even if it was passed on, it wouldn't matter much.

If they could accomplish Makoto's idea, this little expenditure was really nothing.

The Shinobi world as a whole is strong, and only then will they think about rising from the ground and slapping the so-called big landowners and big nobles.

Carrying a sharp weapon, the killing heart rises of its own accord.

Makoto really didn't know why the ninjas were putting up with them.

Their existence really didn't have any significance other than the fact that they would eat up the price of rice.

Not to mention that they were now using the hiden of the two great hidden villages.

But even so, the group of old people led by Sandaime may still fiercely oppose... really poor and afraid, all hamster party.

Makoto also knows the difficulties of the older generation, and is not prepared to deal with outsiders like, play burst their blood pressure meter, so...

He decided to fake a false impression that Konoha was about to have a major loss, and get over this hurdle first.

Protect the village, or protect the hiden?

After all, it is a former male ninja, this point of determination is still there.

When things are really implemented, Makoto wanted to achieve the effect, he and Sandaime slowly explain not too late.

That's why there was this incident.

In order for things to be successful, he had gone around in circles this time.

First, he turned the two genin, then he let Koyuki-hime's maid falsify the information to let Sandaime keep an eye on it, and finally, he even made Kakashi stammer and be unclear...

The more ambiguous it was, the more anxious Sandaime became.

If there were no surprises, at this point Sandaime would have already rushed out of the village to check on his movements – but he certainly wouldn't be gone for long, but would be back soon.

After all, Sandaime used to be a ruthless man on the battlefield, so he must be very good at tracking one or something. He would soon realize that Makoto had not left Konoha at all.

Under suspicion, he would immediately return. Then relying on the information at hand, he began to search for Makoto's true location.

By this time, Sandaime's blood pressure should have risen about the same.

"Right now then, it should..."

When Makoto said that, the panting Sandaime had opened the door to the room.

His gaze swept over the many accountants under control, and finally landed on Makoto, unsurprisingly.

"...Makoto."

After all, he was getting older, and Sandaime gasped quickly.

"What the hell are you doing!"

Feeling that the preemptive emotions had pretty much brewed, Makoto immediately got teary-eyed and opened his mouth to explain.

"Sandaime-sama... I didn't want you to know about this... but... Konoha is really running out of money... I really... wasn't deliberately trying to hide it from you ah..."

When Sandaime heard this, he didn't even take a breath and nearly fainted.

Makoto was shocked and rushed forward to rescue him.

... ...

Looking at Godaime's deceitful appearance, although it is completely different from the heroes and heroines in her impression, but... it is so interesting.

Kazehana Koyuki really wanted to know what Godaime was going to do next.
