Divine Punishment Incident Caused by Watching TV

Just because people are angry is to be angry, but that doesn't mean that Yugito can't listen to other people's words.

After all, the most important thing for ninjas is intelligence, and once a senior member of the village like her makes a wrong decision, the village may suffer unparalleled losses.

Makoto roughly described Pain's situation to the four people, and gave them the Pain information book that had been prepared – of course, there were only six avatars, but no specific abilities of the six avatars.

If Nagato came to him, he would never hand over this information.

But now, Nagato has apparently embarked on his own path...

This is also good.

Because the truth always becomes clearer with more debate.

In the constant battles with Nagato, his path will become clearer and clearer. He did do something right, but Makoto never believed that he was the embodiment of truth.

The two continue to conflict, and the closer they get to the "righteousness" that suits the times.

He wanted to use Nagato as a whetstone to sharpen his own edge.

The four people in front of them all attached great importance to the information provided by Makoto and read it carefully.

Makoto snapped his fingers, and Kakashi immediately activated the three-wheeler and took Koyuki-hime elsewhere.

Koyuki-hime's eyes were full of curiosity, but she was from a royal family after all, so she knew there were some things she shouldn't know and shouldn't ask.

So she left temporarily with Kakashi without saying a word.

After a while, the four of them looked up at the same time after reading the information.

"Is there such a strong person in this world..."

The first one to speak was Onoki.

–It is precisely because of his addition that there are four diplomats this time.

Theoretically, as long as Konoha does not release anyone, Onoki will be imprisoned until death. Although he won't be deliberately abused, he will never leave his small courtyard in this life.

But not long ago, diplomat Iwagakure came over to have a private chat with Makoto, and was willing to use his three voting rights in exchange for Onoki to come out for one day.

Must say that Iwakakure was quite sincere in order to meet Onoki.

Makoto also knew why they did this, so he readily agreed.

Of course, Konoha also wants to save face and cannot let people go just because they want to. So taking advantage of this incident, Konoha used the excuse that there were no clues at the moment and needed Onoki's help, allowing him to gain the right to move freely for a day.

The reason why Iwagakure paid such a high price was of course not just for a simple meeting... What else could it be for? It was simply the need to further reform the village, but Kitsuchi's own prestige was not enough, so he had to get Onoki's personal support.

Maokto knew this very well, but had no intention of stopping it.

Iwagakure's reforms must be aimed at Konoha, but if Konoha accepts Iwagakure's reforms, why not put pressure on Konoha from the outside and let Konoha carry out internal reforms?

Konoha's internal problems have always been quite serious, the most serious of which is that the clans have occupied all levels of power in the village.

Even Makoto couldn't change this reality, because ninjas with kekkei genkai are so damn better than ordinary ninjas.

Even if you distribute according to merit, it will be these kekkei genkai ninjas who will go up.

Sharingan and Byakugan are just stronger than ordinary people.

Minato is a pure mutant.

Now that the war had just ended, Makoto had enough prestige and was a powerful money-managing Hokage, so he suppressed them firmly.

But in the future...

He needs stronger external pressure, not only to allow the major clans to change some of their shortcomings, but also to continue to open up avenues for advancement for the common people.

To this day, his policies have had certain effects. At the very least, Neji, who was born into the branch family, is not like a caged bird in history.

This is not only because his biological father is not dead and has some say, but also because the Hyuuga clan is keenly aware of the war nine years later.

For this reason, they specially opened permissions to a few cutting-edge seeds... If a major clan can last for so many years, its own decay is inevitable, but there must be a few smart people.

Of course, those old immortals in the Hyuuga clan are not pure fools. The main reason why they are willing to break the rules is that they feel that Neji and other branch families will not survive the end of the war...

These new talents will definitely be used in the fiercest battlefields.

Everyone agrees that the Fifth Ninja World War will be extremely fierce. Judging from the intensity of the Third Ninja War, the survival rate in the most intense battlefield is approximately 0.

Everyone is well aware of this, but he believe that with Neji's character, he would rather take the opportunity in his own hands to defeat fate than endure the humiliation of being a breeding bird...Okay, He was also killed in battle.

"The ninja world has never lacked geniuses, nor has it ever lacked strong men. Onoki-sama, you are an old-timer. You should still remember the way the Shodaime danced with that man!"

"That man..."

Onoki's eyes slowly became empty, as if he remembered something extremely terrifying.

"If it is that man... Godaime Hokage-sama, are you telling us this information now in order to prepare to surround and kill this organization called Akatsuki and this man who calls himself Pain?"

Everyone knows that Makoto likes to cause trouble, but he is never confused about major matters. He made the matter so serious, so he must have a plan.

"No, it's just out of the most basic morality to prevent you from suffering unnecessary losses, so I'm telling you in advance."

Since Nagato chose not to cooperate with him, he would definitely continue his previous Shura path... It was nothing more than changing many details due to the agreement between the two.

T/N: Shura path refers to a person who focus on killing and war to get what they want

Makoto couldn't predict who Nagato would attack first, but Kyuubi would definitely be the last one.

Because Kyuubi is the strongest, and everyone in Konoha has already fought him once, and indeed defeated him.

If he is not sure, he will never take action again easily.

He won't take action against Kyuubi, and he won't take action against Kirigakure for the time being, so...

There were some things Makoto didn't say. After all, our relationship was actually still enemies. But from Makoto's tone, everyone vaguely noticed something.

"A storm is coming..."

Onoki finally let out a long sigh and made his final conclusion – and this was one of the reasons why Makoto specifically let him out.

This guy has been under house arrest for too long and can no longer keep up with what's going on outside.

Even if he was locked up in the small courtyard, Makoto would read the newspaper to him every day, but it was okay for a while, but as time went on, it became harder for him to believe the contents of the newspaper.

To put it simply, it's the same situation as encouraging Big Brother Flamingo.

T/N: Doflamingo, Donquixote Doflamingo... it's One Piece (I don't know what's going on)

When going in, it was still Big Brother Flamingo.

After staying for a few days, he became Little Brother Flamingo.

A few months later, it was already Grandson Flamingo.

– Are you a fake newspaper? Forget about others, I know Trafalgar Law. We haven't seen each other for only a few months, and you're telling me that my car fell off my mother's side when I'm such a casually abusive character? So who am I?

He stayed in the small courtyard for a few months, and Konoha was like crazy.

Who would believe this?

Let him have more contact with the outside world and realize the huge pressure, so that the Sandaime can continue to do his work.

...The Five Hidden Villages will definitely be united into one in the end, but it would be better to save a few people from dying.

Makoto continued to talk to several representatives on the surface, but his eyes fell on the deputy of Kirigakure diplomat - Terumi Mei returned to Kirigakure and has not come back yet. Now her deputy is working.

With her intelligence, she must have discovered that Yagura was not the original.

In original history, Mei Terumi sought help from Kirigakure's senior marshal.

T/N: although the word translate to 'marshal', there's a character from the Naruto manga where this 'marshal' has the same amount of power as Mizukage in the Land of Water

With the help of the marshal, brother 'bito was expelled.

But the marshal of this world line had already suffered in the Third Ninja World War.

Either he was killed by someone, or it was simply old age disease... He was really old for a ninja, and it was normal for him to eat lunch at any time.

In this Naruto world that has long been off the track, some people have defeated their own destiny, while others have been fooled by the dice mother and suffered a big failure.

Now there is no one with enough prestige internally to help her fight, so she can only ask for help from the outside.

The best choice is of course Konoha.

After all, she knew very well that the personal relationship between Makoto and Yagura was the best, far more stable than other great hidden villages.

But if he takes action now, Makoto is not completely sure to keep Obito... After all, he is not a god. He cannot make the world move forward completely according to his plan. He can only take one step at a time and wait and see...

... ...

Makoto's cryptic answer did not satisfy the people of the three major ninja villages, but even if Makoto didn't say anything, there was nothing they could do.

After all, they don't have the same relationship as Sunagakure and Konoha.

After briefly explaining the situation to them, Makoto took the little princess and Pakura back to the Hokage's office.

The little princess was very tired after playing outside for a day, but she seemed to suddenly become interested in the world of ninjas. Makoto thought about it for a while and felt that what happened next had something to do with the Land of Snow, so he let her stay.

"Pain, isn't Pain the one we fought together last time..." Pakura rubbed her temples, "I know you have a plan, so I won't say more, but what should we do next?"

There are madmen in the ninja world one after another, and these guys don't care about the difference in strength between each other, and they will never be able to finish them off.

Sunagakure, who currently only wants to farm, actually doesn't want to get involved in this matter.

"If you believe me, tell your father-in-law to leave him alone."

"...Leave it alone?"

"Of course."

Sunagakure itself is almost at the bottom of the five great hidden villages, but everyone knows that Sunagakure has a good relationship with Konoha.

If he grabs a Shukaku first, the only result will be to drag Konoha in with him.

This is not safe - Nagato knows very clearly that if he robs several other hidden villages first, Makoto will never care.

The two brothers clearly knew some of the other's thoughts.

So... the best way for the time being is to leave it alone.

"You really have a plan again, right?"

Pakura looked at Makoto with this expression.

"Tell me, which industry are you planning to destroy?"

...This is considered a consensus, right? As soon as I take action, I will take over their entire industry?

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated. I just want to develop some TV industry."

The Naruto world already has a TV, and it is a usable version, not a pile of black technology that cannot be monetized in a laboratory.

But the TV popularity of Naruto World is very tragic – because of the war.

Also...poor.

People can't afford to eat, and even if they want to watch TV, they can't afford the electricity bill.

But with the end of the war, a large amount of demand was released, coupled with the rich people who existed in the Land of Fire... He thought that the first ten percent mission of Angel of Peace should be relatively relaxing.

"Is that really all there is to it?"

Pakura was still doubtful.

"Well, actually it's for public opinion and to sell something."

"That's right." Pakura finally softened a little, "Doing several things at once is your style...Is it to promote your...three-wheelers?"

Advertising is always important no matter what.

Pakura is a professional ninja and doesn't know much about sales. Reminiscent of the fact that Makoto had been engaging in three wheeled truck before, it was easy for her to contact him naturally.

Television advertising is extremely effective.

Of course Makoto knew this.

At that time, Lujiu Tiantuan relied on CCTV advertisements to achieve the advertising myth of hundreds of millions in annual sales – hundreds of millions in the 1990s!

T/N: Lujiu Tiantuan was an alcohol company in the 1990s, as for it still exists... I have no idea

This even led to the formation of the concept of Biao Wang.

T/N: 'Biao Wang', which translate to 'bid king', is a name given to the company that wins the highest bid for advertisements before the nightly weather forecast program on CCTV.

Those who can afford a TV in this era must be wealthy families. The three-wheeler looks low, but it has real transport capacity. They are definitely willing to buy it - even if they don't use it themselves, it would be more convenient for the maid to go out to buy groceries and the boys to collect the bills.

From an advertising perspective, it can be considered precise placement.

But Makoto had a little more on his mind...

"That one must be sold. But I also want to sell something else..."

"What?"

"Class."

"What class?"

"Ninjutsu class."

"... Ninjutsu class?"

Pakura reread a sentence, then suddenly thought of something, and her whole body pressed against the door.

"You want to sell hiden?! –

T/N: 'hiden', not to be confused with 'Hidan', who obviously doesn't have a mother to teach him how to speak, is secret ninjutsu pass down from generations to generations

"Don't spill blood on me!"

No wonder Pakura reacted like this.

This thing hiden, and you can tell what it is just by hearing the name.

Of course there are many hiden in Konoha, and the Hokage can decide on his own who to teach these hiden to.

This is indeed within the scope of the Hokage's authority, but if he really does this... he is forcing the elders of Konoha to punish him.

It's not even a question of whether the elders want it or not.

This is a matter of stance and cannot be wrong.

Of course, Makoto would not make such a mistake.

"It's not from Konoha, it's from Iwagakure and Kumogakure... Do you still remember, they lost a lot to us at that time."

"...It turned out to be that one. It almost scared me to death."

At the end of the Fourth Ninja War, when everyone signed the contract, the two major hidden villages did pay a lot of hiden to get in. There was no other way, there was not enough money, so they had to bite the bullet and use hiden to cover the cost.

In ordinary times, this is absolutely impossible.

...Many hiden are the foundation of a clan.

"But why are you selling those things? Is it because Konoha can't make enough money? If that's the case, I can talk to Kazekage-sama and see if we can..."

Konoha is out of money?

Impossible.

How could Konoha be short of money with a wicked man like the Godaime on stage? Because the finances were too abundant, even Konoha elders could not fight against this young Hokage.

But apart from having no money, Pakura really couldn't think of anything that could make Makoto willing to sell the hiden.

Kakashi: "Of course it's not about money. Although we borrowed a lot of money, it's not that we can't pay it back, but that the big banks that lent us money refused us to pay it back in advance. If we have to pay it back ...They can only commit seppuku at the gate of Konoha."

Many question marks appeared on Pakura's head.

"Won't let you return it? Why?"

"Because they have already sold it." Makoto didn't want to change the subject, so he brought it back, "Didn't I say it before? It's to sell classes. –

"Nowadays, hiden are basically in the hands of major clans. After so many years of light speed Q, there are always geniuses who understand the light speed Q, and then write it as a hiden to prevent outsiders from knowing. Then the next person also understands it. The light speed Q is also written into hiden. –

T/N: never played League of Legends, and don't know about the Chinese fandom/discussions, but 'light speed Q' refers to the speed of shifting between the Q and A key

"Everyone keeps it to themselves and avoids talking about it. But no one has ever thought about letting many people learn this secret, and then future generations can develop higher-level things based on light speed Q. –

"I can certainly understand where they're coming from, but I've always felt...a certain degree of openness is good for everyone. –

"I don't discriminate against academic qualifications, nor do I think academic qualifications equal morality. But I still think that a family composed of doctors will be more beneficial to the children than a family composed of elementary school students."

The ninja world never lacks masters and geniuses, but the rate of knowledge dissemination in the ninja world can really be said to be a tragedy.

After the death of many famous ninjas, their techniques became extinct. While this has contributed to the establishment of a powerful clan, it has also closed many doors for promotion, leaving the weak to remain weak forever.

Even if everyone knows that plants can grow more luxuriantly only if the soil is fertile, no one is willing to do it.

Makoto blinked.

Pakura had some realization.

"You mean...to strengthen the foundation of ordinary ninjas in Konoha and Sunagakure, and even use this to attract some wild ninjas outside to join us? Let us be far stronger than the ninjas in other villages from a fundamental perspective? "

Wrong doesn't count as wrong.

Makoto couldn't tell Pakura that his basic strategy was Pain, the blood-vomiting marathon in the Five Hidden Villages, and the economic crisis, right?

Even Kakashi couldn't understand all of his plans.

He just wants to blow up all the existing bad relationships and create a new world.

There are too many things in the ninja world that are unreasonable.

...Of course, realistically speaking, the most profitable one is the promotion of three-wheeler.

Even high-level figures like Pakura immediately forgot about him selling cars after hearing that he was selling hiden. After hearing this, the other ninjas should also...be able to avoid a lot of trouble, right?

Everyone focused their attention on his class, so no one paid attention to his three-wheeler.

So Makoto smiled at Pakura.

"But this is my first time doing this, so I'm not sure... I still need your guidance and help. –

"By the way, Koyuki-hime, that includes you."

"Me?"

Koyuki-hime pointed at herself, very curious.

"But what can I do?"
