Wave of Banknotes

Makoto had realized that the heavy net he had set up in Konoha seemed to have lost its meaning - because none of the enemies had come.

For various reasons, they either had a problem here or there... In short, even though they knew they couldn't let Konoha go on so smoothly, they didn't come over to stop it.

Makoto didn't like to underestimate his enemies, especially after the Kyuubi Attack and the success of Obito's home-stealing, he had gotten used to anticipating his enemies by the highest standards.

Now that his side is almost successful, and the enemy has never made much of a move... it is all good, all good.

Anyway, Konoha and the Land of Fire already had a volume advantage, and the more they delayed, the greater this advantage became.

After dragging it to a certain extent, even the Fifth Ninja World War can't be fought, and it can be won just by using the transfer strategy... Since the opposite side is not moving, he will continue to accumulate the advantage.

Early the next morning, Makoto opened his eyes.

Into his eyes were the quiet sleeping faces of Nono and Minatsuki.

Practicing physical arts was a very hard thing to do, even if the two were on it together. After practicing all night, the two's physical strength was completely exhausted.

But... so cute.

Makoto took one in each hand and mua'd each of their faces.

T/N: 'mua', the sound of a kiss

"Hu, hu... stop it..."

Of the three, Nono was the oldest. However, probably due to the fact that she had spent a long time with the children, while she had always acted gently, she would occasionally show a few moments of childishness.

When an imperial sister was pampered, no one could really stand up to her.

And Minatsuki's words... She is a character who can become my mother...

No matter how excessive the conditions were, as long as he said it, she would gently agree.

Even if she herself was very shy.

"...Hmm?"

Probably sensing Makoto's gaze, Minatsuki opened her eyes.

She squeezed towards Makoto's arms.

"Today, resting?"

"Well... rest a little."

As Hokage, one could be busy or not.

Say busy because Konoha's management system is actually relatively backward, a lot of places are left with the legacy of the warring states, with the modern government can not be compared.

The reason for not being busy will also be simple - Konoha is no longer big, but now it is also the size of a prefecture-level city. Plus Konoha stormy decades, the vast majority of things have established rules. As long as the rules and regulations are followed, basically can deal with the past.

Sandaime even had time to use his broken telescope technique to peek around...

But Makoto's term as Hokage was more of an exception, and there were simply too many things he had to do.

It was both difficult and without precedent.

Not only the internal affairs of the hidden village, but also the contacts with the merchants, and the intrigues with the Land of Fire officials... He has too many things to do, and many times, the ninjas cannot help him...

Minatsuki had actually gotten used to the fact that when he opened his eyes in the morning, the man was already gone.

But today was indeed a rare holiday.

Not only were the ninjas resting, there wasn't much going on on the side of the merchants and nobles. Even the arena, it was closed - with the ninja's physical strength and endurance, it wasn't impossible to fight all the battles in a few days. But Makoto didn't put the Imperial Trial Combination together to simply divide the high and the low.

In addition to boosting the sales of TV sets, the Imperial Trial was also a great way to promote the national prestige of the Land of Fire.

National prestige this thing can not be seen and touched, but sometimes, can really change many people's ideas... at least, can kill a few less people.

It is not good to fight in one breath, but the effect is not good.

He just wants to slow it down a little so that the audience can understand the ninja and how the ninja fights. And - they, Konoha, are the best in the world!

There was nothing to do, so Makoto just touched it.

Minatsuki happily rubbed him twice, then quietly murmured in Makoto's ear.

"Oh yeah, yesterday when you weren't here, a few ladies came to my door and talked to me about the marriage union."

"...With me?"

Crap, the system wants to see my harem explode, you guys want to see my harem explode too?

"How could it be you."

Minatsuki laughed and lightly knocked Makoto's head.

"It's Gai."

Oh, so that's what happened.

Makoto got it.

The big clans have always been very honest when it comes to their clan heritage. The game of catching a son-in-law under the list has been played since ancient times, even in the Hokage world.

Yesterday's evening paper coupled with the morning paper that will be released today has truly accomplished a miracle of public opinion in the world.

-That's how it is when the backer has the money in place. Who cares what the hot search was before, Konoha directly made Gai airborne the number one hot search.

Now, wherever there were springs, there were people talking about Gai, the tough and persistent ninja.

Konoha's noble green beast had truly and completely come out of the ring by this point.

Of course, Gai deserved this reputation.

After realizing Gai's toughness, certain clans that still had daughters at home naturally had their hearts set on it.

However, they more or less knew Gai's character, so they ran to Minatsuki to knock on the door.

-After all, if they proposed marriage to Gai, Gai might refuse. But if it was Hokage's order, Gai would definitely not have any hesitation.

"Gai is indeed a very good object for marriage... But this kind of thing, after all, we have to ask him about his own wishes, so let's not meddle too much."

"I originally said the same thing..."

Gai and Kakashi are not the same, Gai is too pure, such a person is powerful and at the same time, it is easy to be hurt by the nastiness in those villages.

That's why Makoto's treatment of him was to simply raise him up as Konoha's super idol presence, isolating him from politics.

In the years to come, he just needs to run happily through his youth and be that pure beast of burden... If he is only an idol, indeed no one is more suitable than Gai. After all, he will never collapse the room, because he will always be youthful...

"Ah, right, there is another thing... is that your guard called Uchiha Shisui, the mood seems to be a bit wrong... Also Uchiha Fugaku-san..."

It was true that Shisui's mood had been unstable lately.

It was also true that it was Makoto's pot.

Before the opening of the Imperial Trial Combination, Makoto had once been very worried that the enemy would come over to undermine Konoha's erection of public opinion hegemony - under normal circumstances, they should have come anyway, but they just didn't.

At that point in time, as a Kage, it was a normal choice to leave a final backhand for Konoha.

A pair of Mangekyo was enough to turn the tide at a critical moment.

On top of that, letting Shisui suffer incomparably great psychological pressure can only be described as a sacrifice for the greater good.

But who knows they didn't come...

And then this matter became very comical.

Fortunately, this matter itself can be explained, as long as he explains clearly with Shisui, it should make him let go of his heart.

But in this case, what should Shisui's Mangekyo... After all, this is not a peaceful era. We can't deliberately let a friend of Shisui be seriously injured and on the verge of death, and then let him give him a lift... If it didn't work, he give up.

The loss of a pair of Mangekyo is something he can afford when everything is going in the right direction...

What Makoto wants is for people to be happy, and Mangekyo are important, but if you give up happiness for the sake of Mangekyo, it's the same kind of putting the cart before getting the horse.

As for Fugaku... was it seeing the writing on the stone tablet?

After all, he has also now possessed Mangekyo, it is indeed possible to see those tampered with contraptions.

But if this matter really wants to be dealt with...

"Got it." Makoto touched Minatsuki's soft hair, "It was Nono who asked you to tell me, right?"

"Ah, this..."

Minatsuki blushed a little for a moment.

"It's okay, I know all about it. She's doing this for your own good... I know all about it."

How could Minatsuki have so much heart, she was a very traditional housewife.

Only Nono, a former member of Root who had handled countless pieces of information, would be able to see the problem in a few words.

But Makoto didn't care.

It was because Nono wasn't trying to influence anything through these words, he was just trying to raise some of Minatsuki's status in Makoto's heart.

Even if they were also members of the family, those with greater abilities were ultimately more likely to be favored by the head of the family, that was a fact that no one could change.

Princesses like Temari, as well as Naruto are not mentioned after that.

In this family of Makoto's, Minatsuki, she... Haku is at the very least very talented, Jiraiya has already asserted that she can become a very good ninja in the future, at the very least the upper shinobi is not any problem... But she herself...

"...I don't care if you are strong or not, let alone if you are useful or not. I just want you all to stay by my side forever... Don't leave me again."

"...Mhm."

Minatsuki embraced Makoto and buried his head in her chest.

... ...

A few more people studied the Konoha fluid taijutsu for a long time until it was close to dinnertime, which was when they went downstairs.

Minatsuki was shy about it.

Because there were still a few small ones in the house.

Let's just say... Luckily, both Temari and Naruto are still young...

When Makoto hugged Haku, and came down from upstairs, Temari was sitting at the dining table, trying to study a hiden, moving her fingers, looking like she was sealing.

This hiden was secretly slipped to Temari when his father-in-law came over.

...Makoto doesn't think father-in-law has this kind of emotional intelligence, it should be Chiyo-baasama's intention.

But Makoto didn't have anything against it is all.

After all, according to the current point of view, Temari was bonded to him, and in the future, she would be a member of his family. It would also be beneficial to him if she was stronger.

As for Naruto... he was learning the most basic literacy with a few small children.

Ever since that playtime at New Year's, Temari and Naruto had opened up a whole new play map called the orphanage.

Temari didn't have many friends, and she couldn't just make any. Instead, the orphans in the orphanage, who were not on the political spectrum, had little effect on her.

Makoto didn't tie her down either, and after a while, she got acquainted with them.

Makoto carefully picked a dozen or so of them, sort of cultivating Naruto's class in advance.

...It can't be the same as the original, all the world is invincible, only to begin to cultivate the bottom of the class.

Mui's son Muku is actually a very good choice, and their father and son have also found their own position. It's just that right now Naruto is still young... it would be better to wait a few more years, nowadays it's safer to be a playmate first.

"Temari, Naruto, how are you today?"

"Woo..."

Seeing Makoto come over, Temari immediately teary-eyed, bulging her small face into a bun.

She was so adorable in this way that Makoto couldn't help but want to laugh, but considering the possibility of being bitten on the head by this stupid girl, he still did the big shocked look and asked her what was going on.

"Woo woo... It's so hard to make a seal... But Chiyo-baasama said that if you don't know how to make a seal, you can't give birth to a little baby... But what is giving birth to a little baby, is it just playing house? ...Granny said that if I can't make seals quickly enough the next time she comes, she's going to spank me... -

"I don't want to be spanked..."

Temari said so, hugged Makoto, and then dry-howled.

In response, Makoto could not help.

He was aware of what Chiyo-baasama meant.

After all, he never had a firstborn son, the marriage between the two sides ultimately has hidden dangers. Just hand bow this age is also really... therefore can only let her first strong.

Chiyo-baasama is, after all, a traditional ninja, in her mind, as long as hand bow can become a top ninja, other family members should have nothing to fear.

The reasoning is this reasoning, is the actual practice of the time...

"Do not cry, do not cry."

Makoto rua for a good while hand bow, which pulled the hand bow, came to the front of Naruto.

After all, is Hokage, and not lack of money, his family actually has a few aunts. Only about the children's things, Minatsuki preferred to do it himself, so the aunts did not interfere much.

Only like today, when Minatsuki is not there, they will help with some small favors... such as, teaching Naruto the Constitution of the Land of Fire.

Haku could use the manga as an initiation textbook, and that was because Makoto felt sorry for her. This child followed her mother in displacement, itself is already enough lack of love, this aspect is naturally not good to be strict with her.

And Naruto...

Bad boy, even the female frequency lady knows that a real standard stepmother should be as gentle as possible to the children left behind by her husband's ex-wife.

If you don't want to work hard we don't work hard, if you don't want to get ahead we don't get ahead, if you like to eat and drink and have fun, let's go ahead and have fun.

Highlight a gentle teaching, a hundred calls.

And on their own son... to learn not to die to die to learn, you do not learn now, after the family property by your older siblings snatched how to do!

In fact, Makoto knows that Naruto does not have to be Hokage. After all, now the plot has been messed up into this way, not when the Kage is actually nothing.

When not, are based on his personal will.

But as his godfather, at the very least, he had to be taught how to become a good Kage.

Naruto looked up, also teary-eyed.

"Daddy... woo... it's so hard... I can't read it... "

Makoto thought in his heart, but when he saw Naruto's shining blonde hair, he still softened a bit.

"Forget it, it's indeed a bit too early to learn this, even if it's just the simplest literacy initiation... that.. help me bring the 'Godfather' script from last time."

In the last year, Makoto had localized and improved the 'Godfather' script together with Aoho, and the effect was not bad.

But due to a series of events later, the matter was shelved.

Considering Konoha's reputation at the time, Makoto wisely chose to snowball it first.

Aoho resisted, but had no choice but to agree.

However, he still left a copy of the script at Makoto's house.

-As a director, Aoho really wanted to make this movie. By leaving the script behind, he obviously also hoped that one day Makoto would come around.

Very quickly, Auntie brought over the Godfather's script.

Makoto put down the two girls and hugged Naruto, teaching him the words on it little by little.

Little Naruto was still bitter about it, but still listened attentively. And... quickly fell asleep.

This little brat.

...Forget it.

After all, it was Minato's son.

The life with the family was quite uneventful, and there was nothing special about it. Just abruptly, time passed.

Makoto didn't feel anything, instead he enjoyed this calmness.

But as a Kage, even if he always stayed at home, there were still many things that would actively come to him.

Just like... now.

Makoto had eaten dinner with his family and was about to go to the courtyard to move his body - for some reason, he always felt as if he had a dream last night. In the dream, he had fought with two old goblins all night.

One of the old goblins was very powerful, the level of physical combat was so strong that it was almost ghostly, and Makoto felt like he was going to be punched into a sandbag by him, not having the slightest power to fight back at all.

But vaguely, he seemed to have gained something.

This matter was really strange - it was fine for him to dream of fighting with a goblin, who made him fiery. Paradoxically, why would he dream of fighting two old goblins instead of Maryrose...

But before he could get to the atrium, a dark part had already come to him with a young man who looked a bit familiar.

This person was... seemingly the deputy of Terumi Mei...

"Godaime Hokage-sama, please save Terumi-sama!"

...Was here to plead for mercy for Mei?

While Makoto was surprised, he realized something even more surprising.

[Wave of Banknotes: Harvesting a country's years of accumulation with worthless paper money.]

[Money that is free.]

...Crap, how come this mission that has been a legacy for 10,000 years jumped out at this point?
