Finally Can Plant Bulrushes

Although there were some twists and turns, Kazehana Sosetsu still came to Konoha.

Most importantly, he's willing to cooperate.

If he is willing to cooperate, then nothing will happen.

As for the little trick Kazehanna Sosetsu used when they first met, Makoto not only didn't care, but was very happy.

The most troublesome people in the world are those who have no jobs, no income, no worries, no relatives, and no future. These guys are truly invincible.

No one can put any restrictions on them.

Because they have nothing.

But Kazehana Sosetsu is obviously not this kind of person.

As a country leader, he is actually relatively unsuccessful. Although he occupied the orthodox position, he was still unable to suppress his younger brother. In the end, the other party staged a coup, and was even pushed to the gambling table of the great power game.

Fortunately, he still cares about his own people and his daughter.

When he was severely frostbitten, it would definitely not feel good to move forward in the ice and snow. I was afraid that he would be walking on a knife's edge every step of the way, but he still did it.

On the other hand, he is willing to do anything as long as it can ensure the safety of his daughter and the people.

To put it bluntly, he is just a stupid father who built a large-scale environmental transformation machine because his daughter wanted to see spring... Why don't you have this treasure? Tell the Land of Fire as soon as possible. You can make whatever price you want, and the Land of Fire will never counter-offer.

The Land of Fire is willing to be his big brother, and he can make money quickly.

The natural energy in the Naruto world is so abundant that every winter is a disaster. It was completely white and the road was so slippery that even a centipede could walk on it.

Just think about it and you will know how detrimental this is to vehicle transportation.

Especially for the Land of Fire, which has begun to explode its production capacity but is extremely short of transportation capacity...

If they can't transport goods all winter, it will cause a lot of delays.

However, Makoto also knew that, regardless of whether this thing was completed, even if it was completed, it would still be at the level of a national artifact, and it would be impossible to give it to him on demand.

At the very least, it would be presumptuous to say it when the relationship between the two parties is not at a certain stage.

So Makoto simply stopped mentioning it and instead solved the immediate problem first.

In the last two days before the arrival of the new year, Konoha held its first press conference to specifically answer some recent events.

The reporter friends were very considerate, and a large group of them showed up.

But not all of them are their people... that's fine.

"Excuse me, Hokage-sama, I heard that you had some unpleasantness with Land of Snow not long ago, is that right?"

"Fake news."

Makoto immediately denied the reporter's statement.

"As we all know, Kazehana Sosetsu-san and I are the best in the world. He even treated me to a drink of sugar water last time."

So the reporters immediately looked at Kazehana Sosetsu who was sitting aside.

"Yes, that's right..." After all, he was born as a king, and Kazehana Sosetsu was not very good at answering questions, let alone the nonsense coming from Makoto's mouth. Fortunately, he knew how to answer such questions.

"Our Land of Snow has always been a friendly country with the Land of Fire, and I personally have always admired the name of the Land of Fire. It's just that we are on the border. And as the king of the country, I really can't travel far. –

"Before, my brother was greedy for profit, launched a rebellion against me, and wanted to alienate the relationship between me and Hokage-sama. –

"I asked Hokage-sama for help. Fortunately, Hokage-sama reacted in time and put things right... This is all a misunderstanding. Please don't be fooled by the rumors spread by evil people."

The reporters instinctively didn't believe it. After all, the situation of the Five Kage Conference at that time had been leaked by some people.

But... As the leader of the country, Kazehana Sosetsu said so, what can the reporters do?

The Hokage said so.

The leader of the Land of Snow also said so, so this is the truth.

Other rumors are false.

Ask again and sink into Tokyo Bay.

The reporters didn't dare to really offend Konoha. Since both sides had agreed on the same tone, they stopped asking more questions and asked another question.

If they really want to deal with Konoha, other great hidden villages will naturally take action, and there is no need for reporters like them to die.

"Sir, I heard that someone recently saw a new type of aircraft coming out of Konoha. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. This is a new type of vehicle developed by Konoha in order to better defend the Land of Fire. It has already applied for a patent and is of international first-class quality."

"Ah, is it true? I don't believe it."

The reporter doing the Q&A this time is one of their own.

Makoto immediately began to explain.

"Our aircraft is small and easy to carry..."

Makoto briefly explained the advantages of the aircraft.

Of course he knows that if he does this, his enemies will get information in advance and will not be able to achieve the effect of a sneak attack in actual combat – but it is a 1.0 thing and will be updated soon.

And more importantly, he was interrupting the continued attacks of Kirigakure and other possible enemies.

No matter who is causing trouble, I have the ability to shit on your head within a few hours.

If you are not afraid of death, just keep playing.

After all, ninjas still have to rely on their fists to speak. If you hit with one punch, there will be no more punches in the future.

But if we do this, the arms race will inevitably escalate again next year... isn't this a good thing?

If he controls the most powerful hidden village like Konoha, has the most powerful industrial country like the Land of Fire behind it, and knows the plot, he will lose to other ninjas in the arms race...

Then he has nothing to say.

This is Konoha's advantageous area, and it should be greatly promoted.

And Makoto was willing to bet that before their technology could catch up with Konoha, the inside would explode first.

Productivity and production relations are such a pair of goblins that torture each other.

The ninja system is really too backward.

The only thing he couldn't be sure of was whether it was Kumogakure or Iwagakure who exploded first...

After Makoto said a lot, the reporters were confused, but at least they were sure of one thing - Konoha really convinced the Land of Snow, and the two families shook hands and made peace again.

Everything before was just a misunderstanding, and everyone just laughed it off.

Some reporters were unwilling to give in and wanted to finally put a damper on the relationship between the two parties.

"Excuse me, I heard that Konoha intends to station troops in the Land of Snow. Is it true?"

"How could it be true? We Konoha will always be the barrier to protect the Land of Fire. How could we go to the Land of Snow to garrison troops... We just signed a long-term large-scale trade contract with the Land of Snow."

Makoto seemed to have said everything, but also seemed to have said nothing.

All in all, this press conference ended with everyone watching.

Just as Makoto expected, the follow-up attack that was supposed to be launched also stopped silently.

Now... he can finally grow bulrushes without interference.

... ...

"The Land of Snow and Konoha have reached peace, and at the same time, Konoha has developed powerful strategic tools... We should not continue to attack, we should enter the strategic defense stage!"

When Konoha and Land of Snow shook hands and made peace, and Konoha's aircraft soared high in the sky, Terumi Mei knew that there was no point in continuing this battle.

No matter how much money or influence you spend, you can't win.

No one will continue to support them, no one dares to continue to support them.

If any small hidden village objected, Makoto and a lot of experts went to the other party's door for barbecue the next day.

If he insisted, Kirigakure would be completely exposed and then... be swallowed alive by Konoha.

It doesn't make any sense anymore.Upon seeing this, Terumi Mei decisively stopped her plan and once again wrote a long explanation letter to Mizukage.

Mizukage's attitude seemed to have softened, and he was no longer so insistent.

But Terumi Mei still felt something was wrong.

"No, that's not right...this is not Yagura-sama's style... –

"It's okay if he doesn't do it. As long as he starts to do something, he will definitely crash into something... I wrote such a long letter of explanation. He should write a longer reply to me...  –

"There must be something wrong with Yagura-sama! I must see him with my own eyes!"

... ...

In a cave somewhere in the Land of Earth, an ugly and hunched old man was cutting up the body of a recently deceased Iwagakure.

"It's really troublesome... I didn't expect that after all these years, I would still be recognized by Sunagakure's group. –

"What's worse is that Iwagakure is willing to investigate the death of the Sunagakure ninja... –

"Although I defeated them, it's obvious that I can't stay in this place... Why have the five great hidden villages changed their appearance recently... Where should I go next?"

The Sasori was thinking about this problem. At this moment, he suddenly felt a suffocating breath coming from not far away.

He looked in the direction from which the breath came, and saw a man with strange eyes.

"My name is Pain."

He said this and stretched out his hand towards Sasori.

"Perhaps you need a little help?"

... ...

Kakuzu stayed on a rock by the sea, happily calculating accounts.

He has not invested recently and has not made much money, but he has gained a lot of new and interesting knowledge. Under someone's guidance, he already had a complete plan.

He was ready to give it a try.

Of course, not now.

After all...that person hasn't started yet.

Kakuzu actually didn't mind being an apprentice – as long as it was really profitable.

But at this moment, Kakuzu discovered a man wearing tattered armor who was pushed to the shore by the wave.

He was badly injured and looked like he was going to die.

"Help me..."

Kakuzu has little interest in saving people.

He just likes to make money.

"Give me ten million ryos and I will save you."

Today, the number of top-notch ninjas in Konoha is around tens of millions, but it's just not easy to kill.

And that person will definitely get angry.

– After such a long time, he roughly guessed the identity of the other party...but Kakuzu didn't care.

He has long seen through everything. The only thing that remains unchanged in the world is money.

However, Kakuzu still feels that saving one person for ten million ryos is already very cheap.

He originally thought that the miserable man in front of him would not be able to get the money.

Unexpectedly, he actually stretched out his hand.

"Okay...I'll give...this little money, I, Kazehana Doto, can still afford it...help me..."

Hey, a fat sheep?

"That's it... then I've increased the price now, and it will cost 20 million ryos."

... ...

At the same time, in Aunt Snake's nest, Kabuto brought several hungry and cold children to Aunt Snake.

Aunt Snake was lying on her side with her legs curled up, holding her chin with one hand, and her golden snake eyes were slightly opened.

"Are they all here?"

"Yes, Orochimaru-sama, they're all here!"

Kabuto answered very calmly.

Not long ago, Aunt Snake suddenly asked Kabuto to run out to collect the children.

Kabuto didn't quite understand Aunt Snake's behavior, but he still carried out the order.

Originally, the Land of Rice was devastated by the constant pull from the internal nobles. Although it has calmed down now, winter is still very difficult.

Several villages were completely buried by the white disaster if they were not careful.

Kabuto tried his best to save only a few children... but fortunately, it was enough to reply to Aunt Snake's request.

"You come here."

Aunt Snake pointed at a timid girl, with no expression on her cold face.

"What's your name?"

"Ta...Tayuya..."

The girl answered timidly.

"Well, from now on, you will be my child...Only I will like you, others will only eat you, do you understand?"

"Ye- yes..."

The girl dared not say anything or do anything. Aunt Snake said something, and she answered with difficulty.

Fortunately, Aunt Snake didn't force it. She just pulled each child in front of her, told them to follow her from now on, and then let them leave.

Soon after, Aunt Snake lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

There was only someone far away in Konoha, going crazy over the flashing task box in front of him.

[Father, Father, Look Quickly: Some people search for the other half of their life, just to find what many people have them from the beginning.]

[Adopt ten children (no gender limit) with the opposite sex with a favorability of 99 (current progress: 10/10)]

[Task completed.]

"Why was this mission suddenly completed...Who did I complete it with? I obviously haven't had time to pick up girls recently...Wait...could it be...Orochimaru??! –

"Is this even okay? –

"System, get the hell out of here! –

"I promise not to beat you to death!"
