Chapter 81

My name is Imata, and I am the son of the Minister of the Left in Kaze no Kuni. I am a member of a speed gang.

In my life, I have only one hobby: speed.

Initially, driving carriages at lightning-fast speeds was incredibly enjoyable.

Later, when I grew tired of carriages, I began riding horses alone, feeling the wind against my face. In those moments, I experienced a sensation akin to lightning speed.

Now, I drive a Chakra car, a powerful vehicle fueled by Chakra energy.

As I listen to the rumble of the car's engine and grip the steering wheel, I have a beautiful co-pilot, sitting beside me. Her hair dances in the wind as I drive, and with one hand on the wheel, I caress her thighs. It's fast as lightning, and please forgive me for lacking the appropriate vocabulary to describe it.

Only Chakra cars can truly capture your attention.

That was how I used to feel. But today, I, Imata, have been arrested.

During a race with my little partner, a figure suddenly appeared and forced us to stop our car. A group of people emerged, accompanied by screams from my little partner.

Sachhi, the leader of the first Law Enforcement Group of Sunagakure's Transportation Bureau, was the one who apprehended us. On his first night in office, he managed to apprehend the largest night speed car party in Sunagakure.

"Do you know who I am? I am Imata, and my father is the Minister of the Left Lord of Kaze no Kuni. If you arrest me, my father won't let you get away with it," I angrily pointed at Sachhi and roared.

My words seemed to have an effect. The traffic police officers who arrested us were taken aback.

Damn it! The son of the Minister of the Left in Kaze no Kuni. This identity is somewhat embarrassing, as if it holds no power over us.

With a slap across the face, Sachhi impatiently replied, "Don't think that the Minister of the Left in Kaze no Kuni can control us. Look at those racing with you. Some of them are even grandchildren of Sunagakure Elders. Do you think they would dare to go wild?"

After being slapped and jolted awake, I reluctantly turned my head to look at the youngsters behind me. I noticed a few familiar faces, and they wore awkward smiles.

The traffic police officers were also remorseful, but they dared not cause any trouble. Their parents directly managed Sunagakure, and the traffic police couldn't ignore that.

"Um, excuse me, big brother," I quickly said with a smile.

"Don't call me 'big brother.' I'm not that kind of person," Sachhi replied, shaking off the discomfort.

"Oh, then how about 'uncle'? Dear uncle, we were just drag racing and didn't harm anyone. Can't you let us go?" I desperately tried to negotiate.

"Don't worry, your offense isn't serious. You'll be detained for ten days to half a month at most. Once you return home and pay the fine, it won't be a major issue," Sachhi assured me.

Considering the backgrounds of the people in our group, they knew that if they were killed as a warning to others, they would have died in vain.

"Phew, thank you, uncle. I'll treat you to dinner," I suddenly perked up upon hearing the punishment, nodding quickly. I thought I should at least earn some points with Sachhi.

"No, you're the son of the Minister of the Left, and I can't afford that," Sachhi waved his hand, implying that he had a modest lifestyle and couldn't accept such a lavish meal.

"Oh, come on, uncle. Don't say that. I attend Shinōbi Academy, and maybe I'll work under your command someday. Besides, as a member of the racing community, I know what those people like. If you need someone to fight them, I'm your guy," I boasted confidently.

As the son of the Minister of the Left in Kaze no Kuni, I had experienced my fair share of battles. In a short period, I had gained a lot of knowledge and understood that the man in front of me would greatly help my family integrate into the Shinōbi world, given the right circumstances.

"Is that so?" Sachhi squinted his eyes, carefully observing the second-generation ancestor before him. Truth be told, this person's physique and Chakra response were quite impressive.

"Yes, it's absolutely true," I vigorously nodded, afraid that Sachhi might doubt my words.

"Alright, let's discuss this later," Sachhi said, noticing that the traffic police had already restrained our group of second-generation ancestors. He waved his hand and led his team to conclude their operation.

I glanced back at my stunned friends and snorted disdainfully. They were just sand sculptures now, not on the same level as me and Lord, who would soon begin an official career in Sunagakure.

My instincts and foresight were aligned.

An agency that dared to confront our second-generation ancestors must have substantial backing. As Sachhi had mentioned, among them were descendants of Sunagakure Elders, nobles, and merchants. Those who made it into the circle were all from influential families. I knew the extent of their power and the number of people they had wronged.

Come as it may, face the same challenges, knowing well that there are tigers in the mountains, yet venture deep into the mountains.

I am no fool; I simply have confidence.

On the second day, Sunagakure made a major announcement.

The Transportation Bureau was officially established, with Bunpuku as the director.

Just last night, under the ideological guidance of Kazekage-sama, the brilliant and wise command of Director Bunpuku, and the hard work of Captain Sachhi, the largest speeding party in Sunagakure was successfully apprehended.

This news sent shockwaves throughout Sunagakure.

Damn it! The newly established Transportation Bureau showed remarkable confidence by arresting a group of second-generation ancestors.

This group of people consisted of descendants of Second-Kage, high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and many more influential individuals. Don't be fooled by their small numbers; they hold immense power.

This news served as a warning to others and had a profound impact. The entire Sunagakure fell silent.

There was no longer any resistance to the enforcement of traffic laws.

It wasn't that people didn't believe in the law, but rather they realized the futility of opposing the Transportation Bureau. Those who disobeyed were detained for ten days to half a month, and if they persisted, they would be subjected to forced labor.

As for parents causing trouble, they would have to discuss the intricacies of the situation with Bunpuku-sama. And if that wasn't enough, they could seek an audience with Kazekage-sama to discuss the intricacies of Genin technique.

If they still wanted to protest, they would be challenging the authority of Sunagakure, making themselves the enemy.

However, there were many intelligent people and few fools. Everyone, especially the younger generation, understood the importance of obeying the law.

Thanks to the Transportation Bureau's strict enforcement, traffic security in Sunagakure saw a significant improvement. Even the traffic security in Kaze no Kuni experienced positive changes.

Residents of Kaze no Kuni noticed that since the Minister of the Right visited Sunagakure, the remnants of war left by the Kazekage had been repaired along the river channel.

The understanding between Kaze no Kuni and Sunagakure grew stronger.

Whenever Sunagakure implemented a change, Kaze no Kuni followed suit.

For ordinary people, it was easier to adapt and live peacefully.
