So Why Does Coke Company Have the Sixth Largest Navy in the World?

The Seventh Prince shook his spirit and returned to the royal capital as fast as he could, beginning his difficult work of seizing the throne.

Honestly, he didn't know if he would ultimately succeed.

Fortunately, he was willing to trust Makoto.

Even if he really didn't understand what effect an increase of one or two silver pieces of water could have... Some money is like this, just like increasing the opening of toothpaste by one millimeter... It looks inconspicuous, but when it really comes to it, it can shock people s jaws off!

The seventh prince came and went in a hurry. But when he was under the protection of a large number of people, he re returned to the royal capital, Makoto also had to end his short life of touching the fish.

He had told Minato back then that the best jobs were the ones where you were two hours late and no one noticed as a result because you were the first to arrive.

But Minato wouldn't listen.

And so he followed his bad luck.

It's winter, it's almost New Year's Eve, shouldn't you be huddled under a blanket with your wife, all playing Tetris together?

...But unfortunately, the daimyos don't think so.

Even if once hugged his own bed, declaring that I live and die with the comforter, Makoto was still kicked by Daimyo of the Land of Fire to the forefront of the confrontation with the Akatsuki organization - senior advisors secretly told Makoto, this time is really can not be delayed, Daimyo is really angry.

In desperation, Makoto could only bring two teams of elite ninjas, wearing a thick cloak made for him by Minatsuki, a cashmere sweater made for him by Nono, and small mittens knitted for him by Haku, and arrived at the frontline tent.

...As for why there is no Temari... Although this idiot has also tried hard... But my little princess, you'd better go to the market to buy a few back, I will pretend not to know...

All in all, at the urging of the daimyo, the Five Nation Alliance was once again assembled - even though both Terumi Mei and Yagura had gone to the royal capital, they had still split up some of their elite troops.

Only compared to the previous Fourth Shinobi World War, its scale and importance really couldn't be compared.

The four major ninja villages, including Konoha, were extremely reluctant to fight, and even though it was basically the Kage himself, it was basically two teams of elite ninjas in terms of troop strength.

Kumo does not have Kage, this time simply just let Yugito come over - from Yugito's ironic face it is not difficult to see, she is absolutely unwilling to leave Kumo at this moment when the fight is gradually white-hot, but she still came ... In this recent period of time, within Kumogakure It seems that something extremely serious has happened, Yugito and Killer B seem to be at a disadvantage...

Makoto really wants to know exactly what happened.

However, Kumo is quite strict about blocking information in the near future, even Konoha secret agents have no way to go deeper.

Its security level, has been similar to the Chakra Cannon... Makoto can still use the Chakra Cannon thing to separate the two sides through his understanding of the plot. But this time... that is really not known.

But it does not matter.

Nowadays, the pattern of the ninja world with one super and many powers is gradually forming, and now the most important thing for Konoha is not to seize as many benefits, but to establish a role model and a consensus on the rules for all countries...

Makoto patted off the wind and snow on his body and took the initiative to greet the people in the tent.

There were a lot of people in the tent, in addition to the Kages of the villages as well as the elites, there were also quite a few generals from various countries - this operation to get rid of the world's greatest evil was an extremely rare joint operation between the army and ninjas.

The people were of different minds, but they managed to maintain a superficial politeness.

Among them, there was even a middle-aged man dressed as a general of the Land of Fire who took the initiative to walk up.

"Godaime Hokage-sama, you have finally come!"

Makoto smiled and exchanged pleasantries with the other party.

The other party was very enthusiastic, and his words were filled with a desire to build a career. However, Makoto could see that this Lord General did not really want to fight either.

-From the moment Nagato used the Super-Shinra Tensei, the war strategy of the Naruto world had been greatly impacted.

Military experts from all walks of life had argued endlessly just to study one question, that is, when encountering a monster like Nagato, who possessed the power of instant destruction and at the same time great mobility, how exactly should it be dealt with?

There is no way to deal with it.

With an expert of this level, a sea of people was pointless. If he went down with a single Super-Shinra Tensei, the only ones who would still be standing would be the true experts who were one level lower than him.

It would also have to be the kind that had quick reflexes and could run fast.

It would be nearly impossible for a modern army to surround and kill him.

The Animal Path avatar were capable of psychic transfer to each other, and the Naraka Path was even capable of pulling up all the kneeling Six Path avatar.

Even if the worst case scenario occurs, outsiders will have a hard time finding his main body - Nagato kind of gives off the impression that he fights a lot of waves, but this guy is actually quite conservative in his battle style, and his main body is always in hiding. He as long as the main body is still alive, kill more split and what is the point...

What constrained Nagato before was his total amount of chakra. But now with Makoto's Chakra Center, even this problem has been solved... Makoto had long ago found out that the Chakra Center had been having Chakra tanks stolen recently, and now it seems that it must have been stolen by him.

It really wasn't from Makoto himself.

The ninjas didn't want to fight Nagato, who was all but invulnerable, and the regular army even less so - think about the poor Guards Corps of the Land of Water.

They were wearing the best equipment and had the highest morale, but they were just yanked without even seeing the enemy.

But the Daimyo pressed down with strict orders, and they could do nothing about it.

"It's hard for you guys too, it's hard for us too, so let's all just make it difficult."

Makoto said this, the already dull atmosphere in the tent became more and more suffocating, but Makoto didn't care about this, first looked at his father-in-law.

"Yondaime Kazekage-sama, I'm sorry, because of some things, I came late... Any important information?"

"The Akatsuki organization is camping permanent fortifications, it looks like this is not their temporary intention... We have to plan ahead."

Everyone didn't want to fight, but the Daimyo was really irritated this time and was almost freaking out.

Nagato had touched the cordon, and no matter what was really going on in his mind, they had to do something at the very least.

Father-in-law so guarded, handed over a few photos.

Makoto quickly looked up the photos, as father-in-law said, Akatsuki organization was indeed building permanent fortifications on a certain deserted island.

At the same time, they were demolishing the already scarce buildings on the harbor of the deserted island...

"What is this? They're preparing to trap themselves?"

The island chosen by the Akatsuki organization originally had little depth to speak of, not to mention that it was a barren island with a shortage of resources.

That is to say, there was originally a garrison of the Land of Water next to this island, otherwise even the Land of Water would not care much about this deserted island.

There was neither any oil to be dug up nor any ancient weapons on this island, so how could the Akatsuki organization have chosen this island... Makoto snapped to mind a possibility.

"Are you saying that... could... it be?"

"I'm afraid, is the one you think." Father-in-law sighed softly, anyone could feel his powerlessness, "Why can't we just settle down a bit... If this goes on, when will we have the power to cure that endless yellow sand..."

This deserted island was indeed very barren, with basically zero agricultural value, not even worth developing.

But - if one were to move their sights out of Land of Water, as long as there was an air force, it could radiate to the western coast, the finest part of Land of Water. If the air force had a little more range, they could even run straight to the Land of Thunder!

In terms of war, this was a rather frightening thing.

Makoto couldn't imagine what would happen to the Land of Water in the future if all the most important parts of the country were bombed into scorched earth...

At the center of all this lies the air force.

I'm afraid that the original Akatsuki organization can't really do that.

But this timeline's Akatsuki organization can.

Though it's so weak in its own right that Nagato didn't even choose to put him in the field during the attack on the Land of Water's capital. But this guy, Kazehana Doto, has a chakra armor that can really fly.

And it can fly far, far away.

The problem with Chakra Armor was that it was too expensive to manufacture in a single unit.

But now...

The Akatsuki organization was incredibly well-funded now that they had robbed the treasury of the Land of Water.

With the pissy nature of the big merchants in this world, as long as the money was there, there was nothing they didn't dare to sell.

The Chakra Armor and Konoha's Black Eagle Squad use two development ideas, the former focuses more on enhancing the ninja's own abilities. The latter, on the other hand, was more oriented towards wide-range maneuvering, as well as group combat.

In terms of global suppression, the Chakra Armor was far inferior to the Black Eagle Squad. But if it's just an ordinary landing battle... even if the miscellaneous soldiers in the Akatsuki organization are not strong in single combat power, but what senior sister Konan is best at is hand rubbing detonation charms.

When the time comes to arrive at the place, throw the detonation charms and be done with it, who really engage in battle.

"This guy, Pain, has the ambition to rule the world!"

"If this goes on, the Five Great Powers will be in danger!"

Yugito rolled her eyes towards him.

Kitsuchi: "Godaime Hokage-sama, you're pushing too hard."

Makoto: "Ah, is that so..."

"All in all, the thing to do now is to take care of Pain, the world's greatest evil." Father-in-law's gaze swept over the people in the tent and finally landed on Makoto.

"Makoto, you must have a way, right?"

Makoto could sense that Father-in-law truly did not want to fight.

That wasn't to say that after recuperating until now, father-in-law couldn't afford a large-scale war with the AKatsuki organization. But the question was - what was the point of that?

A battle with the Akatsuki organization was destined to be tragic and unproductive.

Winning was a matter of course.

Losing was a matter of being a dumbass, a total douchebag.

Although the Daimyo's bounty was high this time, there were times when the bounty could not make up for the loss of personnel.

Especially for a village like Suna that had trouble returning to the fold.

"Ways then..."

Makoto scratched his head.

He held up four fingers.

"Option one, we claim that nothing happened. -

"Option two, we say that maybe something happened but we shouldn't take action. -

"Option three, say maybe we should have acted but we couldn't do anything. -

"Option four, maybe we could have done something in the first place, but now it's too late. -

"What do people think?"

... ...

In the makeshift tent, a hot pot was raised.

The cold wind was blazing outside, but inside it was as warm as spring.

The Kages had heavy faces and just quietly ate the hot pot. On the contrary, the generals who were forced to come to war were happily discussing how much military expenses they were going to ask the daimyo for while eating the hot pot.

-After all, it is the world's most evil and powerful enemy, the enemy is difficult to deal with, the brothers have suffered great losses, it is only natural for us to ask for more military expenses, right?

Obviously the army has not even started, and everyone is already discussing how many people should be killed in battle each day.

What was obviously a very heavy matter has now become somewhat lighter.

The happiest one was of course Makoto.

Because he was going to stall for time.

To give Nagato time to build the fortifications, and also time to find out where Tenseigan had fallen...

Every Kage present had their own concerns, and Makoto trying to convince them one by one was actually a very difficult task.

But the good thing is that with Nagato becoming the world's most evil, a question that is becoming clearer and clearer is laid out in front of all of them - love for the village or love for the daimyo.

It wasn't true that Senior Brother Nagato was strong, but if the five great hidden villages ignored the casualties and came to attack en masse, he still wouldn't be able to hold out.

Even with the addition of the Akatsuki organization, it wouldn't work.

But the question is... what happens after that?

In the hearts of daimyo and great nobles, the most important thing was always their own authority and interests.

Even if the five great hidden villages spared no expense and forcibly pressed Nagato to death, what awaited them would not be flowers and smiles, but all kinds of suppression and weakening.

Don't say that the Noble Objects couldn't do it, they would definitely do it.

What a great opportunity during the Fourth Shinobi World War before. Even if it wasn't possible to swallow the entire ninja world, there were many unequal treaties that could be obtained.

However what Kiba waited for was twelve gold medals.

Makoto knew very well in his heart that even if Yagura hadn't inserted that bar at that time, they would still have found a way to stop Konoha from continuing the war.

Now, under the Konoha's involution, the great hidden villages have been looking for another source of wealth, and the dependence on the daimyo has greatly weakened... There is a problem, and it is becoming more and more acute and obvious...

Before, the elephant in the room, everyone is not invisible, just can only pretend not to see.

Now, everyone realizes that they seem to be unable to pretend to be stupid... Obviously the one who has the power is us, why isn't it us who decides everything?

Makoto close to two years of arrangements, gradually began to take root.

Whether it is the spitting assembly that unfolds every month in the Five Kage Summit building, or the fact that almost all of the Kages present are young people - father-in-law is actually not too old, he just had a child earlier.

Faced with the same thing, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Onoki might have chosen to endure. And the new generation of Kages...

None of them chose to poke Makoto anyway.

At least at this moment, the interests of the ninja world were completely aligned.

There were times when it was quite good to raise an invader.

While Makoto was happily eating hot pot, a messenger from Terumi Mei came over from the capital and said he had something important to report.

Makoto gave an apology and received him alone.

"What happened? So tense?"

"Hokage-sama! Mizukage-sama has asked me to tell you that there is a disturbance among Kiri's Elders in the city!"

"...Oh."

Makoto replied coldly, his expression not fluctuating in any way.

He had long known that these non-Mizukage faction elders would not be able to sit still.

The beam between the two sides had begun since Takigakure meeting. Before they never said anything, Makoto did not feel that they had recognized Terumi Mei, it was just a matter of temporary patience.

Now that the competition between the Seventh Prince and the Second Prince was getting more and more intense, then they naturally had to act.

This was all expected by Makoto.

What he had never been able to determine was just how far these guys had carried out their research on Tenseigan, and when they would take it out...

"Godadime Mizukage-sama, is she holding up?"

"Mizukage-sama told me to tell you that she's still holding up, but..."

Looks like Yagura still wants to exercise Terumi Mei, not even making a move now - Yagura is at least a perfect Jinchuuriki. Just because he couldn't beat Makoto didn't mean that any of the elders in Kiri's group could beat him.

"But what..."

"But the people in the city are complaining because of the skyrocketing water bill. All sorts of rumors are circulating in the city, and although we have captured a few people, they are all outcasts..."

The Land of Water's capital was in a very good location, and when the city was first landed, it was obvious that someone high up had seen it. Only from ancient times, the Land of Water's capital has always had a problem - the quality of the water was rather hard.

Therefore, the nobles, big and small, have always bought water from next door. Only the poor people drink the unpleasant royal water.

This habit has been going on for years, and has almost become a tradition in the Land of Water's capital.

The Seventh Prince's side raised the water fee, which was nothing. After all, the Land of Water's capital was the richest city in the entire Land of Water, it wasn't so bad that it couldn't even carry one or two.

And because of the previous incident, the people's senses towards the Seven Princes were relatively favorable. Everyone complained a few times, and the matter passed - the water price hike was still bearable, but if the second prince came in, it would definitely be a direct massacre of the city!

Now the reason why there is a surge in water prices, certainly not the will of the seventh prince himself, but those who have not been killed by the great nobles, and colluded with the bureaucrats who have not been cleansed, began to make trouble... It is difficult to say that there is not the second prince's implicit support inside.

The cards in the hands of the seventh prince are really too few, the hearts of the people are not big, but in the end they can be used.

Obviously, the second prince is not prepared to give the stupid brother this opportunity.

Of course, it could not be ruled out that it was really just certain nobles and bureaucrats being stupid or wanting to pressure the Seventh Prince for more benefits... But it was all at such a time, who it was in the end was actually no longer important.

"Is it the Second Prince? Is it the Elder faction? Or is it someone else?"

"We don't know..."

The messenger was mortified.

"It's alright, it's not your fault. After all, suddenly controlling such a large city while also taking care of the whole country would have been beyond the ability of the Seventh Prince. He doesn't even have enough people in his inner circle, not to mention the heavy ministers... Let's put it this way, I'll help you solve the problem of the water bill first."

"...You can solve it?"

"Uh-huh."

Makoto said so and took out a business card.

"Go to Konoha, go to the Arasaka Company headquarters, and find someone from the Coke Company. They will help you... just tell me what I recommend."

"If you don't have water to drink, just drink Coke, it's all the same."

"As long as it's cheap enough, what's not to drink."

This is the best opportunity for the Land of Water's capital to invade the Land of Water.

It was also the best chance to cleanse the Land of Water's noble class.

After the Seventh Prince entered the city, he didn't touch the top tier great nobles and the Shinhua family.

Obviously, he still had some fluke thoughts in his mind.

He wanted to pull in the ninjas as well as the nobles - even though he knew that it was mostly impossible to do both at the same time.

It doesn't matter, I'll help you make up your mind.

Anyway, the current situation... Since Nagato has already become the world;s most evil, surely the seventh prince wouldn't mind being a bit of a killer off white, right?
