A Coup Caused by Game Consoles

"Get out, Konoha's dogs!"

Yugito, who still had a lot of bandages on her body, threw the papers handed up by Kakashi to the ground fiercely, she panted and stared at Kakashi angrily, even though her body hadn't healed yet, her eyes were still grim as a sword.

Without realizing it, a layer of dull chakra coat also appeared on her body surface.

This was the precursor to her striking.

"No matter how many times you come back to say this, my answer will always remain the same - we Kumogakure will never betray the Land of Lightning! -

"Men, send them off!"

Kakashi smirked as he picked up the paperwork that had been thrown on the ground; as an emissary of Konoha, he didn't need to look at Kumo's face. Still, he didn't look angry in any way, and even followed the etiquette and gave the Yugito a bow.

"That's a shame. -

"But we'll come back again."

Kakashi said, pressing one hand on the Uchiha Shisui's shoulder and the other on Gai's in case the two did anything too drastic, before turning his back on the Yugito and leaving with his partner.

It was only when he was sure that all of Konoha's emissaries had left that Yugito resumed on her seat, breathing heavily.

This was Konoha's second official visit to Kumogakure.

Compared to the last time, Konoha's proposed cooperation treaty was a bit more generous - 200,000 ryo for investigating a noble in the Land of Lightning. And it was a shallow investigation, if it was a deep investigation, it could still be negotiated, at the very least doubled.

Investigating information was originally one of the ninja's duties, and investigating those nobles, the Yugito was even less psychologically pressurized.

It was not something anyway.

For a foreign shinobi village to want to investigate the nobles of the Land of Lightning, it was still a bit difficult. After all, the Land of Lightning was Kumo's territory, and Kumo would definitely step in to stop it.

And if Kumo itself wants to investigate...

Even for those topmost big bureaucrats, all Kumo had to do was to tell them that he wanted to conduct a security check, and they would agree to cooperate.

After all, the nobles of that rank were all rather life-thirsty.

And like all the great hidden villages, Kumo had always stayed out of politics.

In this case, Kumogakure could simply be said to be able to check as much as they wanted, with the difficulty being approximately equal to zero.

But now the person who gave the mission is Konoha... is that Makoto... What other purpose could he have in investigating the nobles of the Land of Lightning?

It must be to continue to take action against the entire Land of Lightning!

The Land of Lightning had become what it was now, yet he wasn't going to let it go!

-These money looks good, but it's the same handle! If Konoha exposes these things through certain channels afterward, what will the daimyo and great nobles think of Kumo?

This is really to let Kumo die without a burial site!

This contract, even Komaki couldn't sign it.

T/N: Ri Komaki, also known as Li Xiaomu, Chinese-Japanese writer and politician, born in Changsha, Hunan, famous in Japan for his best-selling autobiography "A Guide of Sleepless Town" (the book apparently does not exist in English, at least, not to Google)

If Makoto was right in front of her, Yugito would definitely want to bite him hard a few times... But facing the messengers of Konoha, she could only end up letting them go with her eyes open.

There was no way, Makoto's strength made her have to be concerned about the consequences of doing so.

The entire elite of Kumogakure together were all defeated by him head on. What if he brought along those experts from Konoha?

It was well known that it was the number of experts in Konoha that topped the villages.

Now that Kumogakure has been greatly injured, the Hachibi Jinchuuriki Killer Bi has disappeared, and both the Reform and Conservative factions are in a state of chaos, even the Land of Lightning has seen the appearance of the members of the Akatsuki organization... Akatsuki organization Why do you guys keep acting together with Konoha!

You guys are actually a family, right?

In this situation, as one of the flagships of the Reformnists, she mustn't cause any more huge diplomatic ripples - the Land of Lightning's Daimyo was too burnt out dealing with the stock market to help them.

Upset as she was, it was time to endure.

Yugito breathed hard, only to feel the wounds on her body stinging - Makoto had fought until the end, and for some reason ran off to fight the others, which, together with the full assistance of Nibi, had allowed her to escape with her life, but the damage that guy had inflicted on her was still...

Makoto after transforming into Golden Eyes was almost invincible!

The more she recalled the fight that day, the more desperate Yugito became. No matter how much she reviewed it, she couldn't think of a way to turn defeat into victory.

Unlike his previous cheeky self, Makoto in his Golden Eye state was simply disaster incarnate, with a purity that was unimaginable.

And this guy is obviously... still getting stronger!

"After eight years, how the hell should I win..."

Yugito frowned sadly, but what needed to be done still needed to be done.

She looked at her schedule, and then summoned an Iwagakure representative.

The one who came was a middle-aged man with a stoic face.

"Yugito-san, how is your health?"

If someone else had said that, Yugito might have taken it as some sort of taunt. But since the other party was an Iwa's representative, of course Yugito knew that the other party was truly worried about her.

-There were originally some disagreements between Kumo and Iwa. But because of Konoha's dominance, it caused an extreme backlash from both families.

Having never been able to defeat Konoha, the two families naturally grew closer and closer.

Before that, the two families had the idea of exchanging secret passages to jointly improve the village's strength, and made some progress, but the Konoha is... those damn conservative elders, even for the sake of the so-called power and position, even the village's most secretive Chakra Cannon manufacturing plan was leaked out!

-Yugito was willing to believe in her own faction, in the middle of the high-intensity self-check, all of them bet their own hot dogs and proved their innocence one hundred percent.

Then it must have been the conservative elders who did it!

As a result, these guys didn't even have the courage to admit it!

Now, in order to eliminate Makoto, Kumo not only sacrificed the unfinished Chakra Cannon that had already been exposed, but also sacrificed many Kumogakure elites, and even the Hachibi Jinchuuriki had gone missing... The loss was too great for words.

Iwa was first surprised, then immediately realized that he had to give Kumo a helping hand, so he came to Kumo only one step slower than the Konoha messenger - after all, Konoha was much closer than Iwa.

"The body can still be barely maintained, but the current situation in the village..."

As soon as he talked about the state of the village, Yugito immediately sighed.

Because of the decisive strike and directly entering the state of self-closure, the chaos of Kumo slowly lifted, and the morale of the village did not further decrease.

But this kind of closed state, is bound to be unsustainable.

More troublesome, is the future and how to face the increasingly fierce ninja village fighting.

Yugito had a resolute nature, but every time she thought about it, she still felt a wave of powerlessness.

"Alas...," Iwa also knew that Kumo was in bad shape, and the messenger let out a similar sigh before taking out a stack of envelopes, "Iwa is still in good shape, but there are some discordant voices in the village. After all, Kitsuchi-sama is not the Godaime Hokage, and cannot completely ignore the opinions of the Elder Council... You guys can take this money for now, so please make sure you hold on!"

Yugito opened the envelope and looked at the figures of the check on it, her face vaguely moved.

"This... how embarrassing this is..."

"You know the character of Kitsuchi-sama, please do accept this, otherwise I can't go back to deliver... Kitsuchi-sama asked me to remind you that we Iwagakure may not be able to continue to support you for the next period of time, so please be careful..."

The smile that had just surfaced on Yugito's face slowly disappeared.

"Is that so? ...I see."

"I'm really sorry."

The Iwagakure messenger said so and left the council chamber.

Seeing the other party leave, Yugito also let out a long sigh.

The aid sent over by Iwagakure this time was certainly quite a lot, but it was water without a source, and when it was used up, it was gone.

If you want it again, then you will have to pay a price... To put it bluntly, Iwa and Kumo are not a family. And Kitsuchi is not a strong Kage that can make decisions. Supporting an ally is a wise thing to do, but this support is certainly limited...

At the end of the day, it's still that asshole Makoto.

That battle between him and Kumo not only shook the hearts and minds of many small ninja villages, but it also caused veteran Kages like Onoki to entertain the idea that it was best not to clash with him.

Onoki was like that, the will of the Iwa elders was shaken, and rightfully so.

But Yugito couldn't say a word of reproach.

After all, it wasn't like people weren't helping, they had already snowballed.

Both sides of the relationship itself is such a position, and to force anything more, more or less a bit too much.

The more Yugito thought about it, the more agonized she became, just at this time, another report of a request for an audience came from outside.

"Uneri Inataka... who is this? Nothing rings a bell."

Yugito raked at the name tag with his small hands, finally opting to meet the other person.

Everyone knew by now that Kumogakure had entered a state of self-imposed isolation - though because it was a covert encounter, many people didn't know why Kumo had suddenly gone into self-imposed isolation.

The guy who still dared, and had the strength to hand in his name tag under these circumstances might be able to bring her a bit of good news.

Yugito wants to see good news more than anyone else... Everything is so bad now.

It wasn't long before Uneri Inataka, who had gone through a heavy inspection, arrived in front of Yugito.

Along with Uneri Inataka came a copy of Uneri Inataka's own information - after all, it was the ninja's main headquarters, so there was no way they would just let a random outsider in who didn't know what was going on.

Konoha seemed open, with its headquarters still somewhat segregated from the burgeoning neighborhood behind it.

Reading through the intelligence book, the Yugito had gotten an initial idea of Uneri Inataka in front of her.

How to put it, in a way, this dude was a legend of sorts.

He was a native of the Land of Fire, and his early experiences were not too clear. About seven or eight years ago, because of the war, he came to the Land of Lightning with his four brothers to make a living.

Soon, with their boldness, they established a Muli gym in the Land of Lightning. Of course, this gym is not very clean. In addition to normal operations, it actually shoots G movies, and it is very famous...

T/N: Muli gym, nothing showed up on search result except for gym equipment; G movies = gay movies

His four brothers are as famous in the biz as the Shodaime Hokage and Uchiha Madara of the ninja world... It's said that one pose alone is so powerful that it rips flags off.

As a straight woman, Yugito said the pressure was great.

However, Yugito still asked in a more polite manner.

"Uneri Inataka-san, I'm sure you're not an unreasonable person. You have also seen the current situation of Kumogakure."

"If you have something to say, please say it directly to avoid some unpleasantness."

The reason why Yugito was so polite was because the other party was wearing a suit.

-People always subconsciously envy and imitate the strong.

When Pharah is unparalleled on land, everyone will learn Pharah.

T/N: Pharah from Overwatch

When Britain doesn't fall, everyone learns from Britain.

Regardless of what the private opinion was, the Land of Fire was undoubtedly the strongest Land of the present. It had the largest flow of money, the most powerful military group, and the most terrifying industrial production capacity.

It was now popular and proud to wear suits amongst the big businessmen groups in the Land of Fire, and the habit was slowly affecting other countries as well.

The change in clothing seemed insignificant, but the Yugito knew the meaning that existed behind it - for the traditional nobles, those who wore the kimono were their own people. And for the emerging merchants and the city's small group of citizens, you're only one of us if you wear a suit.

Behind the smallest of garments lies the dichotomy between the two major political entities.

Yugito not only know this trend, but also know the source of this trend... a certain well-known person that cannot be mentioned.

The guy was notorious for being close to the powerful merchants, and the powerful merchants were happy to receive guidance from the least Kage-like Hokage.

Growing more and more powerful, they were no longer satisfied with continuing to be dogs.

But in terms of heart, Yugito had no ill feelings towards the merchant in front of her - she was a vulcan herself.

"Nii Yugito-san. I'm here to talk business."

Hearing Yugito say that, Uneri Inataka did not hesitate, but directly stated his purpose.

"Business? I wonder what kind of business? If you want to place a mission, please go directly to the mission department and they will help you fulfill the mission agreement."

"Hahaha, of course it's not a mission, I know something about ninjas as well... Please see."

Uneri Inataka handed a machine the size of two palms to a ninja on the side.

After a quick appraisal, the ninja found that there was no danger, and only then handed the machine to Yugito - it really wasn't that Yugito was posing, it was really that after Hachibi's disappearance, Yugito, the remaining Jinchuuriki, had become extraordinarily important, and was truly the flag of the Reformnists. If she is a little problem, the reform faction... no, is the whole Kumogakure...

Without even a single biju, or even a Kage capable of gathering the power of the entire village, is it still worthy of being called a great hidden village?

"This is..."

Yugito still had some knowledge of machinery - ninjas also used heat weapons when necessary. But obviously, this thing in front of her was not one of those she knew.

It seemed to be some sort of new type of machinery.

In this age where capital flowed freely, it was normal for new things to appear, as everyone saw the excessive profits that Konoha continued to make.

They would also love to become a Monopoly like Makoto... Although capital stepped on potholes most of the time, those guys who were blindfolded correctly, all of them would make a lot of money.

"This is the new game machine."

Uneri Inataka was simple and clear, saying its name and function.

"After you connect the power, plug in the cassette, and connect it to the TV, you can play."

"Yes, cassettes are those little rectangular things."

Yugito followed Uneri Inataka's words and managed to connect the machine.

Looking at the pixelated image that appeared steeply on the TV, Yugito narrowed her pretty cat eyes.

The cat hesitated for a long, long time.

But in the end, she played the game.
