In Naruto, Building the Strongest Hidden Mist Village

"Is it completely exhausted?"

Kaguya Naoki took the brand new account book and sighed as he looked at the frightening numbers one by one.

War is really a bottomless pit.

Such a smooth war, with no major setbacks and a lot of gains from the battlefield, has consumed all the years of accumulation in Kirigakure Village.

In fact, he didn't even have the funds to support his initial plan.

It would be absurd to say that the war would end and the village would have to wait for the funds to return.

Kirigakure Village, under the leadership of the Third Generation, has suffered from persistent shortcomings in various policies. On weekdays, it can only maintain expenses, so how can it talk about reform?

Thinking about it, he frowned and asked Terumi Mei to immediately ask tentatively.

"Perhaps, Naoki, the plan you mentioned to unite big merchants and build stable trade routes can be put on the agenda?

In this way, funds can be withdrawn quickly. "

Hearing the voice, Zhi Shu came back to his senses, put down the account book, thought deeply, and shook his head after a moment.

"In this chaotic country filled with wandering ninjas, defected ninjas and lawless elements.

A country filled with corrupt ministers who only know how to extort money.

As long as we, Kirigakure, are willing to give them a peaceful and stable trade transportation environment, countless people will soon rush up like moths. "

"but."

Kaguya Naoki changed the topic and walked to the map at the same time, pointing with one hand.

Terumi Mei followed the hand and pointed towards it. It was the land that Naoki had previously indicated that he requested the Land of Fire to lease or cede.

"If we just stop at building such a trade route within the Kingdom of Water, how can we attract merchants with truly huge economic strength to join?"

“How do we create our own place of wealth?”

"Only if we have a stable trade route from the Kingdom of Water to the Kingdom of Fire can we attract truly powerful merchants to join us."

After the words fell, Terumi Mei nodded suddenly.

The Sandaime who was paying attention secretly on the side couldn't help but made a heavy stroke on the scroll, leaving thick ink marks.

He is a shadow, Kirigakure's former shadow. No matter how incompetent he is, he can still see what Naoki Kaguya means by the future.

"It's not just that."

Terumi Mei got out of the rut of thinking and immediately said in a slightly excited voice.

"Konoha Village has never failed since its founding."

"You said, if we can sign an absolutely unequal treaty with Konoha, will it cause huge waves in the entire world?"

"They will have more trust in the strength of our Kirigakure Village, and they will also have more confidence in this model, and then gather more huge funds,"

"That's right, Ming."

"But, don't think about it so much now."

"The initiative now is not in our hands. It all depends on when Konoha can formally discuss peace with us."

Kaguya Naoki's stomach made a soft sound at the right time.

"It's time to go eat."

"OK."

Terumi Mei will straighten her waist, revealing her exquisite curves.

After relaxing, he leaned lazily on Kaguya Naoki's shoulder and looked at the starry sky outside the window, feeling a little gloating.

"I really don't know what the scene is like in Konoha right now."

The Sandaime lowered his head and continued to deal with government affairs.

——

In the Land of Fire, in Konoha Village, the Uchiha clan was dotted with stars, and it was extremely quiet. Only one of the houses could hear shouts and quarrels from time to time.

Inside the house, an old Uchiha clan man with some gray hair and a gleam of wisdom in his eyes was dancing and talking.

"Clan leader, under the command of the Sandaime, the village suffered such a disastrous defeat, he must step down."

"In the past, if there was a wave of wind and water in front of me, the chance would be slim, but now I am just a loser, how can I fight for it."

"Danzo has no achievements, Orochimaru is the defeated general, and Jiraiya Tsunade has no ambition. Isn't this a good time for the clan leader to ascend to the position of Hokage?"

After the words fell, there was silence at first, and then pairs of scarlet eyes that showed strength lit up in the dim room.

"Quiet."

Where the eyes were focused, Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting in the main seat and looked like a stone statue before, patted the table heavily, immediately making the whole room silent.

The position of the fourth generation.

Fugaku clenched his fists, his heart beating rapidly.

What he had to admit was that this was the most likely time for Fugaku to ascend to that position.

"This time, we will try our best to fight for the fourth generation position."

"but."

Uchiha Fugaku clenched his fists and his tone became serious.

"You must listen to my orders and don't move lightly to avoid something unspeakable happening with the village!"

After the words fell, those Uchihas looked fierce, but they still lowered their heads and nodded.

In addition to being the leader of the Uchiha Fugaku clan, he is also the strongest person in the Uchiha clan.

Only the strongest people can make them obey orders willingly!

Ding!

Listening to the noise behind him, Uchiha Itachi's face remained calm. He just sent the kunai in his hand into the target, and the metal and iron collided, hitting the target three points.

not enough.

Uchiha Itachi formed a seal with his hands, gathered his chakra, and spit out a fireball from his mouth. The faint firelight illuminated the dark courtyard.

not enough.

He rubbed his eye sockets and transferred his chakra. His blood-red eyes were reflected in the lake water. One, two, three or four kunai collided in the air, sparks splashed up, and each of them hit the target.

Still not enough.

Uchiha Itachi muttered silently, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the bright moon in the sky.

Brother Zhisui, if you can come back, maybe that will be enough.

Stop these unnecessary disputes and stop the wars that continue to consume lives.

But, this is the world.

Disputes, battles, death, tragedy, always like this, without waves.

Brother Zhisui, what will you do if you come back?

If you can't come back, what should I do?

Thinking deeply and waving a kunai, Uchiha Itachi suddenly opened his eyes and turned around. Behind him was a man with a satisfied smile, Uchiha Fugaku.

All the longing, worry and all the emotions on his face disappeared in an instant and became extremely cold.

"Father."

"Um."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded appreciatively.

"I have seen it all. He is indeed my most outstanding child. The future of the clan will be entrusted to you."

Uchiha Itachi bowed respectfully, his tone calm and meticulous.

"I will live up to my father's trust."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and silently recalled the scene just now.

Itachi always looked so worried.

But this is the price of excellence. Only those who are good enough will encounter more and more troubles as they grow up.

Only mediocre people would not feel like this.

Grow up as soon as possible Itachi, the future will be in your hands.

Just as he was thinking, an anxious shout interrupted his thoughts and brought him back to his mind. Fugaku raised his eyes and saw an ANBU ninja among several Uchihas.

"Chief Fugaku, please go to the Hokage Building for a meeting immediately."
