As a Pervert, I Felt Like That Was Perverted

Konoha year 54.

A light snow was falling, and the whole of Konoha was covered in silver. Cold winds were raging everywhere, penetrating into the clothes of the travelers from everywhere.

But even so, it was hard to hide the joy of the children on the road.

"Where to run!"

"Hahahahaha, can't catch, can't catch! Catch me and I'll give you a bride!"

"Hoo hoo, I'm not going to lose!"

Iwagakure diplomat stood in front of the window, gazing at the noisy children, his face growing ugly.

It wasn't that he was hating these children.

Even if Konoha and Iwa were bound to have a battle in the future, as a mature Jonin, he wasn't at the level of taking it out on the little kids - what he cared about, were the children's rosy little faces, the thick but durable cotton clothes, and... The small fireworks worth fifty ryo in his hand.

Iwagakure diplomat had been in Konoha for a few years, and he knew the prices of Konoha very well. To him, fifty ryo was certainly nothing. But for ordinary families who were used to careful budgeting, an additional expenditure of fifty ryo was also something that had to be done very carefully.

The poverty of the poor was unimaginable to those who had not experienced it.

Now, however, these children from originally poor families no longer needed to woo their parents in order to beg them to be soft.

Even with their pocket money, they can easily buy many interesting little fireworks, and their parents will never blame them.

Because their parents' incomes had also risen considerably, this small expense was no longer anything at all.

Nowadays in Konoha, basically, as long as you have hands and feet, and are willing to work, it is not a problem at all to make a good living.

Even if the body is crippled, mobility, difficult to work, Konoha also has enough welfare, so that they are dignified to finish the last stage of life.

This guy, Godaime Hokage, scum, but he didn't really take much himself. The vast amount of money he earned back by throwing away his modesty was ultimately used on the residents of Konoha.

Every time he saw the red-faced little faces of Konoha's children due to the abundance of meat, eggs, and milk, Iwagakure diplomats would feel a deep sense of powerlessness - these children would inevitably be strong in the future and full of gratitude and loyalty to Konoha, they would be the best source of soldiers, and Iwagakure...

Looking at the children of Konoha, the diplomat couldn't help but think of the children in Iwa.

Kitsuchi was young, he wanted to do something, but he had only so much finances in his hands, and the more he tried to catch up with Konoha, the more he realized the huge and almost unbridgeable economic gap between them...

Recalling the past few years in his head, the diplomat's face became more and more ugly.

Noticing that his top boss was not looking well, one of the military officers asked boldly.

"My lord, are the children outside too noisy? Do you want me to drive them away?"

"Hmm... It's really out of order, this is the embassy district, Konoha really has no rules... These kids, they're just a few years old and they're falling in love early, saying they'll marry each other if they catch up... Hmph, throw the boys out!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The military officer didn't understand why his top boss wanted to break up a pair of playful brats, but the boss gave the word, so he naturally had no choice but to finish it.

Thus, very quickly, the cries of the two little brats being forcibly separated by the military officer came from outside the window.

The smile doesn't disappear, but it shifts. Feeling instantly physically and mentally happy that he had been the bad guy, the single diplomat sat down and began to review the papers on his desk.

The situation in Iwagakure was getting worse and more suffocating these days. But if even the Tsuchikage and the diplomat gave up then who would fight.

There wasn't much he could do but to take some more of the pressure off of Kitsuchi.

"It's... Konoha continues to expand and plans to increase the number of students in the ninja school by another 100,000 within three years... This is really..."

In addition to mediating the relationship between villages, ninja village diplomats also had the function of spying on information within themselves.

The most important of which was Makoto's movements.

All kinds of big and small things that happened within Konoha were likewise reported.

Although it is not a full enrollment in one year, but... Ninja school, adding another 100,000 students...

Iwagakure diplomat also went to the battlefield, he knows very well the ninja fighting style, and also understand the gap between the great ninja village and those cannon fodders - whether it's individual combat strength and team fighting ability, small power originated from the fish can not be compared to the big ninja village ninja.

A hundred thousand regular Konoha graduated ninja?

I'm afraid that the other four great ninja villages together, just barely made up the same level of combat power.

And even if they do, if the two sides really go to war, Konoha is bound to win - because Konoha's side can order out a door, while the allied forces can't, not to mention that Suna is Konoha's hardcore lackey...

"The only good news, I'm afraid, is that Konoha has long since absorbed all the students with ninja talent around them, and the odds are that those students who were expanded later on won't be able to become ninjas, and will only be able to carry out a bit of research, or some other logistical work..."

The diplomat thought this in his heart, but in his heart, he always felt that things weren't that simple - Makoto was known for not doing business at a loss, since he insisted on recruiting those ninja students who were destined to fail to achieve greatness, he must have had a reason...

Perhaps these students who couldn't become ninjas would bring about a greater change in society in the future...

Either way, this was a program that could be called insane.

Outrageous... But it just happened so concretely - it was just plastered in the window of the Konoha Ninja School.

Since long ago, Makoto had emphasized the openness of his rule, and any big decisions were made openly with the people.

The ninja school was no different.

No one would joke around in that regard.

The diplomat couldn't figure something out, but intuitively sensed the horror of it - small ninja villages were only seeking to exist, and this news, when it came out, was feared that it would have an unparalleled effect on the already indecisive small ninja villages.

This is the art of kingship.

There is no heck of a good fighter!

This news was bad enough, but the information that appeared in front of him after flipping through these documents was even worse.

"Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest have reached an agreement with Konoha officials that any ninja with the ability to choose a summoning beast will be prioritized to choose from one of these three sacred places... and vice versa... -

"What kind of thing is this?"

The diplomat was first unsure, but very quickly he reacted and felt a huge pressure.

-The Three Great Legendary Lands are leaning towards Konoha here!

For quite some time, the Three Great Legendary Lands had been a relatively supreme existence. This was because apart from the Slug Sage in the Shikkotsu Forest, the other two great sages were both filled with experts and guarded by sennin-level bigwigs.

-The reason why Shikkotsu Forest was special was because it was actually just the Slug Sage inside, and other than it, they were all its clones.

For a long time, the relationship between the Three Legendary Lands and Konoha was quite okay. The summoning beasts of each of the three Konoha ninjas came from each of the three legendary lands.

In fact, the one that the Yondaime Hokage contracted was also Mount Myoboku.

But other than that, there wasn't much connection between the two sides.

Humans have the human kingdom, the summoning beasts have the summoning beasts home. There is a sense of indifference to each other.

But now with this announcement, these three were clearly displaying their political tendencies - summoning beasts were not the ones who could sign whenever they wanted to, after all, summoning beasts also had their own lives. No matter who it was, being summoned while eating, bathing, or even sleeping would certainly be exceptionally unpleasant.

Violence could indeed force a summoning beast to sign, but it couldn't stop them from going out of their way to do their job.

So most of the time, ninjas and summoning beasts either had a strong enough relationship to get the other to help willingly. Either that or they paid a huge amount of benefits, or simply had their interests bound...

The diplomat didn't know exactly what was going on in there, but judging by Makoto's habit of never letting anyone work for nothing, I'm afraid that the benefits of these three legendary lands wouldn't be too small...

"If that's the case, then the pressure on Iwagakure will be even greater when the battle starts..."

The diplomat had no way of determining whether or not Godaime Hokage had reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the Sages, but even if the Sages were sitting comfortably at home, their apprenticed children and grandchildren alone who had joined Konoha in battle would put tremendous pressure on the other ninja villages.

Summoning beasts were actually considered a rather valuable resource, and many ninja actually didn't have them.

For one thing, they can't find the right ones, and for another, it's difficult to pay the price to keep the summoning beasts happy - like the Ten Thousand Snakes, the cost of each appearance can be human lives.

And with the official entrance of the Legendary Land, those ninja of Konoha who didn't have summoning beasts were blessed.

This is extremely favorable to the overall combat power of Konoha ninjas - unlike the old days when it was all up to the ninjas to figure out how to find summoning beasts, the summoning beasts that came out of the Legendary Lands know each other's fighting styles very well, and it doesn't take too much bonding to form a collective combat power.

Unless it was a Super Kage level monster, no one would be able to ignore this collective combat power.

"But even when the Shodaime was around, the Three Legendary Lands didn't lower their heads, so why all of a sudden... Is it that Toad Sage who is said to have the power of precognition? What exactly did he see?"

This kind of question, naturally no one could answer the diplomat.

He sighed and turned the page, and what appeared before him was even worse news.

"Naruto, the adopted son of Godaime Hokage, has officially signed up for Mount Myoboku. His fiancée, Uchiha Sarana, on the other hand, has signed on with Ryuchi Cave..."

"Shikkotsu Forest is a unique situation, but the Slug Sage's clone is very good at medical ninjutsu, and when combined with the Konoha Physician Examination System that Konoha has been implementing all these years..."

The more he thought about this, the more the diplomat's head hurt.

"Before, I only thought it was to thicken Konoha's roots, but it turns out it's just an outpost..."

The Konoha physician examination system tossed out by Tsunade was notoriously difficult, and even many senior medical ninja failed to pass it in one sitting.

Everyone complained about it.

But Makoto didn't care, and always used the majesty of Hokage to force it through. It wasn't until this point that the end was finally revealed.

Those who could pass the ghostly and incomparable Konoha Physician Exam were limited in how bad they could be, and basically wouldn't have a weak point. With a little bit of adaptation, one can become an excellent medical ninja.

If you add the help of the slug sage clone, it would be even more of a blessing.

"These things are all details that normally seem unremarkable. It's only when the two sides actually engage in battle that that gap will truly show."

"Now the gap is getting bigger and bigger... Even if we hold on, can we really win?"

The enemy continues to grow stronger, while his side is still slowly crawling forward like a tortoise, which is suffocating, it is really difficult to share with outsiders.

"For today's solution, we can only communicate more with Kumo first..."

The civil war in the Land of Water had been fought for more than a year, and it had finally come to a head. From a diplomat's point of view, it seemed that in a few more months at the most, the two Highnesses should have been able to separate the two winners and losers.

Obviously, it was the Seventh Prince who was stronger.

It wasn't that he was so brilliant, it was that he had too many vacancies, and he was too young to get a word in edgewise, so that too many talented people who had been held back by their family lineage wanted to run to him to make a go of it.

As the civil war in the Land of Water eases, Kiri's favoritism becomes more and more obvious - like the previous scandal between the two Kages.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it was gossip, in the eyes of diplomats, it was more or less...

Kiri had already begun to favor Konoha, and if they couldn't even defend Kumo, then the diplomat really didn't know, what to do next.

"But Kumo's situation is also really bad... The self-imposed closure a few months ago was correct, but it also gave the Akatsuki organization a huge opportunity. According to our intelligence, today's Akatsuki Organization has already completed a large-scale infiltration..."

"Yugito would never be able to defeat Pain, and just getting her to bite the bullet would have to come at a huge cost... But now Iwagakure... It seems like verbal encouragement is all that's left."

The diplomat knew in his heart that it was difficult, but he could only grit his teeth and try.

...There was no way to sit and do nothing, right?

The anxiety in his heart was like a blazing fire, but the diplomat had to force himself to endure it. He forced himself to endure the anxiety as he went through page after page of the bad news at hand.

Among the dozens of pages of information, there was not a single piece of good news that could make him smile.

Time passed silently in his review, and the diplomat only felt a heavy heart until a subordinate called out to him from outside.

"My lord, there are still fifteen minutes to go before the meeting..."

"Meeting?" This was during the New Year, but after a few seconds, the diplomat remembered, "Yes, it's an impromptu meeting about the Land of Demons..."

The Godaime Hokage abhorred overtime, but it was undeniable that some big events just liked to pick holidays specifically.

Even if the diplomat didn't know what kind of shit could be going on in a hellhole like the Land of Ghosts, since Makoto said he was having a meeting, he had to go.

"Wait for me, I'll organize the documents first."

"Yes!"

...

The Iwagakure diplomat got into a black premium sedan and slowly traveled towards the Five Kages building.

Traditionally, when nobles traveled, they had to take a soft sedan. Even for the Kages, it was the same.

This had nothing to do with efficiency, it was entirely a tradition that had to be done since ancient times.

Seeing people first in a sedan chair would look undignified if one were to take any other means of transportation. If you were visiting someone, it would also give the impression that you were not paying attention.

But this rule does not work in Konoha, because when Godaime was traveling, he was using sedan - in private he does like and ordinary ninja jumping around, but after all, as the Kage, formal travel or to pay attention to the prestige.

Upward and downward, everyone quickly accepted the sedan travel... sedan chair is really too slow.

Embassy area from the five shadow building is not too far, at this time the snow has stopped, the road is also lively some. Only when the sedan passed by someone, the Iwagakure diplomat but suddenly subconsciously shouted.

"Stop!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the subordinate, who was also from the battlefield, directly chose to brake. The diplomat, on the other hand, poked his head out and looked at the person standing outside the car window.

It was a small child.

The diplomat recognized her, her name was Hyuuga Hinata.

It was the first daughter of the current Hyuuga Hiashi.

The diplomats of the ninja villages weren't the product of some kind of offering politics, they were the real deal and the best of the best. Iwagakure diplomats were loyal to Iwagakure and never forgot their mission.

The Hyuuga clan was a great Konoha clan, and no matter what was really in their hearts, Iwagakure had always valued their relationship with the Hyuuga clan.

Now seeing Hyuuga Hinata standing alone on the side of the road, the diplomat immediately chose to greet her.

"Greetings, Hyuuga-san, are you alone?"

"Ah, that... no... me..."

Hinata Hinata is very cute, she has a cute short hair, the whole person is so powdered that one can't help but transform into a weird aunt and give her a big kiss.

And the little girl was so shy that she just lowered her head at being asked and started on her fingers. The pink face, but also appeared a little steam.

...Is really a shy and introverted girl ah, Hinata clan in the future by the words of her to be the head of the clan , really no problem?

The diplomat thought so - of course, it was only a thought, this kind of words would not be said out in any case.

Eyeing the way Hinata was stammering, unable to say anything, the diplomat looked back and forth at her tracks, realized that she was probably walking from outside towards the Five Kage building, and made a rough guess.

"Are you going to the Five Kage building, Hyuuga-san?"

"It's really not safe in this freezing weather."

"I still have a seat here, so I can give you a lift all the way."

It was supposed to be a show of hands, so the diplomat naturally didn't mind selling the other party a favor.

-The Hyuuga clan was really too slippery, Iwagakure wanted to draw closer to them, but could never find the opportunity to do so, and could only maintain the level of normal interaction. Now that the opportunity is rare, of course he won't let it go.

...Then again, where are the Hyuuga clan's guards? When the Sou clan's eldest young lady goes out, not to mention bringing a few Jonins, a few Genins and Chunins can always be drawn out, right? She is alone outside, what if she is bullied?

...Well, this worry is indeed a bit redundant, with the current influence of Konoha, apart from the Uchiha lineage and the Hokage's family, no one really dares to bully the Hyuuga clan.

In a flash, the diplomat thought of many things.

However, Hyuuga Hinata's reaction was very strange.

She both looked like she was waiting for someone, yet she was very much resisting him.

In the face of the diplomat's kind invitation, the little girl whose face was a little red from the cold shook her head repeatedly.

"It's like this... then do you need me to send someone to accompany you?"

"No... no, thank this gentleman..."

The girl spoke in a thin voice, as if she would faint from shyness in the next moment. Her attitude, however, was very determined.

It always felt... like it was done on purpose.

The diplomat was puzzled in his heart, but did not continue to insist.

"Well then, please be careful."

After all, this was a crowded area, and the people coming and going were all bigwigs from various clans, so with the Hinata clan's face in Konoha, they really weren't afraid of anything happening to her.

...Maybe it was a child running away from home?

In this way, the diplomat left Hinata, continue to march towards the Five Kages building.

The snow had completely stopped today, while Hinata continued to stand by the road waiting for something. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Hyuuga clan, and many people knew Hinata - they were required to send gifts when Hinata had a birthday.

Seeing Hinata standing there alone, many pedestrians stopped and asked Hinata if she needed help.

However, Hinata refused them all.

The pedestrians were puzzled, but they didn't say anything more and left.

Until a sedan with a Konoha flag and license plate number 01 arrived.

In the entire Konoha, this license plate represented only one person - Hokage.

The stretch limo slowly came to a stop beside Hinata.

A bit of delight appeared in Hinata's pure Byakugans.

The car window was rolled down, revealing Makoto's face.

"Little Hinata?"

"Uh-huh!"

Hinata gathered her courage and shyly but firmly looked at Makoto.

"Why are you here alone?"

"I... I got lost..."

The girl stumbled over the words as if she were memorizing her lines.

"Oooh, I wanted to help dad buy something... to give him a surprise, but... got lost..."

Makoto saw her lie at a glance and judged why Hinata was just standing on the side of the road so strangely.

-Of course it was her old man who was behind it.

Makoto wasn't surprised why her old man did what he did.

After all, the Tenseigan was in his possession.

During the fight with Kumo, the Good Soul didn't even bother to hide it, everyone saw it.

Only some people don't know that this is the legendary Tenseigan, but the words of the Hyuuga clan...

If it was a different person, with the character of those old undead people in Hyuuga, they would have come up to grab it long ago.

Makoto's body...

The old undead ferry themselves to others, probably because they felt that it was absolutely impossible to make Makoto hand over the Tenseigan, and the origin of this pair of Tenseigan was also very strange. So they decided to send someone to Makoto's side and slowly probe.

If possible, it would be best to have a Branch family sister put Makoto to sleep and give birth to a child who also possessed the Tenseigan or had the gift of awakening the Tenseigan.

That way everyone would solve all the problems without hurting each other.

For a family like Hyuuga's, where bloodline was more important than anything else, the girl's reputation wasn't a concern, and it was the same with or without a name.

This was also a way Makoto could accept.

Anyway, the scumbag label on his head can no longer be removed.

The only thing he didn't expect was that that guy Hiashi had sent his own daughter over... Well, a daughter is a daughter after all, not a son.

On the flip side, this is also considered a kind of protection for Hinata... After all, Hiashi should gradually perceive that Hinata's weakness in character, as well as the limits of her talent... Hinata is indeed no match for her sister, Hanabi.

The little girl is not only cute, but also capable of fighting.

However, as a grown adult, Makoto did not want to spread the entanglements between adults to small children just like that.

He had already seen through Hinata's intentions and instead of refusing, he invited her to get into the car.

"I see... Then Hinata-san, please get into my car, I happen to be going to the Five Kage Summit as well, and your father happens to be in charge of today's defense today."

"Ah, thanks..."

Hinata said softly as she was carried into the car by Makoto and then placed next to Koyuki.

Koyuki: "This place is already full!"

The already shy Hinata was even more embarrassed, but luckily Makoto stopped her from complaining by pinching the little panther manic princess's face.

"Alright, just bear with me."

Koyuki: "This is obviously different treatment! Why do Haku and Naho get to sit in your arms!"

Naho, who had been held by Makoto, squirmed in embarrassment and tried to escape the man's embrace.

"Because you're growing so fast, I'm afraid your father will kill me."

"I, for one, still like tiny, fragrant girls."

"Like Hinata's sister, Hanabi."

Hinata: ?????

... ...

The Hyuuga clan's little caution was not enough to worry about, there were more big things in front of Makoto, and they didn't bother.

Hyuuga was not an Uchiha prone to extremes, and as long as he always held the power, Hyuuga would always be submissive.

The Hyuuga Elders were definitely going to be taken care of, and Makoto already had a plan in mind, but not right now - his Tenseigan weren't complete, and he still needed the power of the Hyuuga clan's Byakugans, and when the time came to use that as a name to send the Hyuuga Elders to their deaths, it would be enough.

In order to defeat Kaguya, the Hyuuga clan's Byakugan power was necessary. When the time comes, if they hand it over, then they are ruined. If they didn't hand it over, they were betraying the village and humanity.

At that time, he took the blame and gained the power. Hiashi lost his constraints, and could really change the corrupt system of this family, and everyone would be happy.

With these thoughts in mind, the sedan quickly entered the Five Kages building. Makoto stuffed the little Hinata into the long-awaited Hiashi, and Hinata also really conveyed Makoto's words of ghostly beasts.

Without talking to Hiashi, who was dumbfounded, Makoto brought his buddies to the field.

At this time, Terumi Mei, Yugito, Pakura, and the diplomats from Iwagakure had already arrived.

Makoto opened the door.

"I recently thought of a way to make money."

"The Land of Demons is our next target."

As soon as he talked about making money, the Iwagakure representative's eyes immediately lit up.

He didn't care about the deaths of small countries and small ninja villages, in this world of great struggles between the weak and the strong, he only cared about what his village could get out of it.

Makoto already had countless precedents.

This guy was truly not a human being, but business-wise, he was still top-notch in terms of credibility, a true AAA+.

As long as something is signed in a contract, he will reach it no matter what.

Yugito: "Boring. Is money all in your head?"

Pakura: "In favor."

Terumi Mei: "Land of Demons? What does it have to do with it this time. Instead of caring about small countries, let's talk about how to establish a brand new relationship between great powers!"

Due to their different interests, everyone present spoke differently.

Suna followed Konoha anyway and was a ruthless +1 machine.

Kumo was against whatever Konoha did anyway.

As for Konoha, while favoring Konoha, they preferred to establish a mechanism for great power dialogue - after all, the Land of Water had already bled too much.

But the Iwagakure diplomats were still more pragmatic.

Although it was a Five Kage Summit, this one was more private, apparently testing each other before the official meeting, not really an official meeting, not even a clerk.

Speculating on Makoto's thoughts, the Iwagakure diplomat poured him a glass of brandy.

"Hokage-sama, please elaborate."

"There's nothing to elaborate on, it's just a little business in energy." Makoto fished out two cheap candies from his pocket, one for himself and one for Naho in his arms, "It's just that on the Land of Demons, I'm afraid it's not very willing, so we'll have to find a way to make up a reason now."

"...Make it up now?"

The corners of the Iwagakure diplomat's mouth twitched.

...Are you completely not even going to act now!
