Step by Step

Kakashi walked into Hokage's office.

With the end of the Miso War, the entire Konohagakure was once again busy.

No, it was ten times busier than before.

Even nine times.

Especially Kakashi, the secretary of Hokage, is even more busy with Shadow Clone.

– In a literal sense, the state where the Shadow Clone technique is not enough.

Every night, he went home with weak legs.

Konoha has too much work to do now, because Makoto is really good at it.

In the past, Konoha, in addition to various daily tasks, at most it was some things like defending against foreign enemies and spying on enemies.

Ordinary ninjas do not undertake production and education tasks, so they are relatively free when they have no tasks.

And after Makoto led them to win the Fourth Ninja World War, Konoha became bigger and bigger, and things became more and more... Various...

The construction of the commercial area, the defense and investigation of spies, various educational activities, various filming activities, and even occasionally accepting some rebellious tolerance...

In short, now a ninja, each one should be used as several people.

Fortunately, there were no complaints from everyone – after all, Makoto really gave money.

After the funds are much more than before, there are both good and bad things.

It can only be said that people can't help but enjoy it.

But today when Kakashi was working, he noticed that Makoto seemed to have disappeared... Kakashi decided to die with his own Kage, absolutely not giving him the chance to steal and play tricks.

Only this time when Kakashi found Makoto, he found him sitting there with his hands crossed and wearing glasses.

As everyone know, Makoto is by no means short-sighted. And when he put on this pose, it meant that his killer instinct started to work again – who knows what that thing is, anyway, Godaime is notorious for talking nonsense.

This guy has one set of flirtatious words after another, and once he starts a combo, no one can catch him.

Kakashi felt the heaviness of the atmosphere, so he held the file bag between his arms and leaned his upper body forward slightly.

"Hokage-sama, what happened? The meeting you just rejected is quite... important."

Of course it's important.

Makoto arranged the meeting schedule himself, so he didn't know.

With the continuous injection of more and more Asuma heads, Konoha's already high-speed economy seems to be accelerated by adding nitrogen gas – the price map of the Naruto World is in the business district of Hokage!

As long as they don't want to be eliminated by the world, those big businessmen must come to Konoha.

And as long as they come to Konoha, they will naturally bring a lot of money.

As for removing that price chart... dear, it's not safe.

Is there any place in the world that is safer than Konoha?

But after all, he is a wealthy businessman, and he is here to spend money, so he must give him face.

It's actually not good for Makoto to be so straightforward... But Makoto can't care so much now.

"Come here, Kakashi."

Kakashi didn't understand what it meant, but walked over anyway.

"Kakashi, I have something very important to tell you. –

"Once I say it, you'll understand me."

Kakashi made a gesture of all ears.

"Yagura wants to blackmail me."

Kakashi didn't understand for a while.

So Makoto said it again.

"I said Yagura wanted to blackmail me."

"That's really..." Kakashi realized the problem – after all, it's not a day or two since these two Kages have stabbed each other, "Then who told you such important information?"

"We don't seem to have anyone in Kirigakure, right?"

Of course there was no one.

Kirigakure was already known for being mysterious, and it was extremely difficult to infiltrate, not to mention that Makoto hadn't caught Obito until now, so he let the inside line fade out of Kirigakure early, and only left some fine and meticulous work in the Land of Water .

With the current state of Yagura, he must have the intention to truly end the idea of ​​the Land of Water that is hostile to kekkei genkai, let alone continue to play bloody mist in Hidden Village.

He doesn't need to know the specific information about Kiri, as long as there is a bloody mist in Kiri, then it must be Obito who made the move.

If Kirigakure has not changed, then... either Obito knelt down, or Obito gave up, this is a good thing, isn't it?

Anyway, Makoto doesn't care about the plot.

After all, it is a good thing to save a few innocent people from dying.

"There is no one."

"Then who told you that?"

"Yagura."

"Woah…"

Kakashi let out such an exclamation, and then didn't know what to say.

He can't say that the two Kages will get married soon.

Makoto would really put fake girls in his room.

T/N: 'fake girls' as in traps, crossdressers, femboys, do I need to explain more?

So after thinking for a while, Kakashi asked wisely.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I want to blackmail him back."

"This...you..."

Who doesn't know that Makoto is the best at tidying things up, so even he can't do anything this time?

Kakashi didn't think so.

"If you just want to fight back, it's very easy. But the crux of the problem now is – how can I get rid of Danzo by the way?"

Makoto's patience with Danzo was almost exhausted.

The reason why he didn't do anything before was to cut off his party members and minimize the impact of Danzo's death on Konoha – no matter what, there is no absolute reason to kill a Konoha elder, and other elders can't help but hurt others.

Secondly, only hope that Danzo can use his remaining heat and take the blame for him.

It turned out to be better now, he got mixed up with Shinno – although he knew it before. But judging from the fact that he took the lead in attacking Shinno, what he and Shinno planned may be very amazing.

Far beyond Makoto's expectation.

Otherwise, with his face, it is enough to pretend that he does not know him, why must he make a move – unless he has to.

This is no ordinary double-cross!

Makoto is not a lawyer or a judge, he never pursues the so-called procedural justice. In the past, when he played Bao Gong's judgment game, he always read the strategy first and killed the criminal directly.

T/N: Bao Gong, birth name Bao Zheng, was a Chinese politician during the reign of Emperor Renzong in the Song Dynasty; he was known for his honesty and uprightness

Perfect customs clearance is a matter of strategy, and labor and capital want you to die.

This is not Ace Attorney.

Listening to Makoto's complaints, Kakashi gradually understood everything.

"So, are you troubled, how to find a reasonable reason to put all the responsibility on Danzo-sama?"

This has actually involved taboos in some villages.

But after Makoto tireless teaching... None of Makoto's shitty things are enough for him to sit in prison...

Kakashi has become quite calm.

"Yes, it's really difficult. –

"At the beginning, I wanted to write a history book, and then replace all the current history books. But in this case, the efficiency is a bit low..."

"So you are preparing to..."

"Kakashi, call Aoho over here, I want to make a new movie."
