Chapter 143 Dalang, drink medicine
"Ai, I looked for you all over the place. How come you took a shower so early in the morning?"
In an open-air hot spring somewhere in the Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Generation Ai was taking a bath. Now, it was already winter, and the Hidden Cloud Village was located in the mountains, so snowflakes finally fell. However, the hot water in the hot spring still melted the snow around the hot spring, and at the same time, bursts of mist rose up.
"Mother."
The sixteen-year-old Fourth Generation Ai opened his eyes and looked at his mother calmly. He knew that his mother knew that he knew everything, and his mother also knew that he knew everything, so, his face would no longer have the feeling he had when he saw his mother before.
"What do you want from me?"
"It's nothing. I just saw that you looked a little tired these past few days, so I made you some nourishing soup."
"I've already eaten this morning, I don't want to drink."
The fourth generation Ai closed his eyes and continued to soak in the hot spring.
"Well, drink it. It's good for your health."
Said, Sailu Meiling opened the soup bowl.
"Ah."
The fourth generation Ai did not hesitate any more, but picked up the soup bowl and drank it all. Then, he slowly slid into the water, as if he wanted to wash his hair. Therefore, Sailu Meiling did not notice the tear that was immersed in the water along with the fourth generation Ai.
"According to!"
Soon, the fourth generation Ai floated up from the water, but he seemed to have fallen asleep. This was the phenomenon that would occur after being soaked in water from the Questioning Heart Realm. At this moment, he had entered the world of the Questioning Heart Realm.
After taking a few breaths, Sailu Meiling took out the state of mind with some trembling.
"I didn't kill my son. I just changed his personality and made him more obedient. That's all."
"Om~~"
A ray of light flashed and shone on the forehead of the fourth generation Ai, and then a black shadow was seen entering the body of the fourth generation Ai along the questioning state. After a moment, the fourth generation Ai opened his eyes, no different from before, but only those who were most familiar with him could see the dullness in the deepest part of the man's eyes.
"Ai."
"Greetings, mother. What do you want me to do?"
"Announce it tomorrow. You are still a little young, and because of the Chakra Bodybuilding Technique, it is difficult for you to think when you are emotionally excited. Therefore, let your mother, me, give you advice for the time being."
"Yes, mother."
"Really."
In the distance, Li Zhongren, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't expect that this woman could really do this. Of course, he knew that this had nothing to do with men and women, it was purely a matter of personality. However, a mother's duty was always to favor her children more. This woman really refused to take the path he left for her every time. Even the scarlet perfume would not lower her intelligence. In the final analysis, this person was born with this kind of personality.
"Troy."
"Chief, do you have any other instructions?"
"Here, this is the medicine I promised to give you. It's about that. Now that this woman has no worries, I guess she won't let you leave for a while. It may take some time for you to return to the Frost Kingdom."
"cough"
"Then, here is my new task for you."
"What."
"Make sure you have a member of the Sailu clan in your hands without attracting attention, and make sure that this person cannot be detected by the outside world."
"Understand, your subordinate."
Troy Vigon's eyes turned, and he immediately understood the meaning behind Kotori Mitsuha's order -
Frost Country
Shuangguoqu Grand Military Governor's Office
"dong dong dong~~"
"Enter."
Li Zhongren, the chief secretary of the entire logistics department, also works in this mansion. After all, it is very spacious. In fact, he also lives here on weekdays. At this moment, he is dealing with the matters at hand. The data of the entire Frost Kingdom's logistics has to pass through his hands every day.
Outbound shipment, inbound shipment, distribution, recording, and so on, under the request of Minato Namikaze, it is necessary to ensure that the whereabouts of each shipment is clear.
The wooden door was slowly opened, and outside the door was a wooden man.
She is already the exclusive secretary of Minato Namikaze. This was proposed by Li Zhongren, and the reason is very simple. In order to facilitate communication with the Hidden Cloud Headquarters at any time, through the Tensou communicator, whoever activates this thing consumes chakra, so this thing can only be used by the Jinchūriki, or people from the Azabu clan who truly master the Tensou technique.
Of course, this is his bad taste. It was Minato who made the sarcastic remarks. He is a narrow-minded person. He will only remember the grudge for ten lifetimes.
"General Secretary, Grand Admiral Minato wants to see you."
Even though half a year had passed since she killed the daimyo's family, she still felt an indescribable fear in her heart whenever she saw this man. It was because that incident had left such a deep impression on her. At that moment, she really thought she was going to die.
"Ah."
Li Zhongren put away his pen, tidied up the documents on his desk, and followed Yu Muren to Namikaze Minato's office.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Zhongren saw a huge 3D sand table. This was something he had suggested before, but he didn't want to really ask Minato Namikaze to find someone to make it. Of course, it was just a map of the Frost Country.
"Mu Zijun, your suggestion is really good. Now, the progress of the entire project can be seen at a glance."
Namikaze Minato pointed to one side of the sand table map, where a canal was drawn in a winding way. However, the canal had only just been opened. With the construction speed of this world, even if Kumogakure supported almost all the earth-style ninjas, it was estimated that it would take five to seven years to dig through the canal.
"Yumu Ren, you go down first."
"Yes."
Hearing this, Yukito turned around and left without hesitation. After six months of getting along with him, she already knew that although this Muzi Zhongyi seemed to be a subordinate of Namikaze Minato, in fact, they were on the same level. They were more like friends than partners.
So, when they get to talking about some real plans, they send themselves off.
And she will control her curiosity.
Minato Namikaze can save himself once, but he may not be able to save himself twice.
At least until she could resist that weird emotional ninjutsu.
It's a pity that Jinchūriki is weak in this area.
This is also why the Jinchūriki of each major ninja village likes to lose control.
"Be nicer to the girl."
Li Zhongren said to Minato Namikaze with a smile.
"This kind of joke is not good to make casually."
Minato Namikaze sighed helplessly.
"Haha, do I look like someone who would joke with you?"
"Sanye, if you are serious, then I will really be angry."
"Are you sure? Think about it carefully. You can't avoid this."
"I"
Namikaze Minato took a deep breath, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. Then, he shook his head helplessly. Just now, he once again let himself enter the state of extreme thinking. In this state, he had roughly guessed what Mitsuha Kotori was thinking. Then, he was stunned there. What Mitsuha said might really happen, but that was a matter for the future. Let's talk about it then.
"So, what's the matter with you calling me here?"
"The money has arrived."
Minato Namikaze took out a scroll and handed it to Li Zhongren.
"It's only been half a year."
"Phew, we have collected 100 million taels!"
Namikaze Minato spoke.
"We really overlooked the lethality of something like smoke. This thing has set off a buying craze in almost the entire Land of Lightning, including among the ninjas. In eight months, the net profit was 210 million taels. According to the minimum S-level mission standard, more than 200 S-level missions have been completed."
"Haha, you look like you haven't seen the world before."
Li Zhongren took the scroll, but in his heart he couldn't help but laugh at Minato Namikaze. It was only 210 million ryo, which was because the ninja world was too small. In his previous life, Minato, had he ever seen 1 trillion? A 300-meter-long aircraft carrier, a smoker, could be drawn in three days.
"Well, you don't have to be so excited."
Li Zhongren took the scroll.
"As the tobacco leaves from Sand Village are continuously sent to our Kumogakure, and we do not restrict them, the profits from tobacco will continue to decrease in the future. The same is true for other businesses. As long as there are more things, it will be like this."
"Tsk tsk, your ability is even better than the Flying Thunder God Technique. With it, I feel like my canal seems to be outdone."
"The canal will always be there, and you and I will die one day. Moreover, this method of transportation is not rational. People along the way are not given any benefits, which is not a good thing for our plan. So when the matter of Yunyin comes to an end, I will probably choose to fake my death and log off."
"You guys, you are still nice to Ye Cang."
"what?"
"Haha, after you die, the tobacco business will not stop, especially in the Wind Country. Who knows how many people grow tobacco. If you die suddenly, who will sell their tobacco to? In the end, won't they have to rely on the all-terrain 'steam engine' Ye Cang to deliver the tobacco?"
"By then, she will not only have earned enough money for Sunagakure, but will also be a great hero of the Wind Country! What do you think she will think of you?"
"Ah this."
Li Zhongren scratched his hair. He swore to the lamp that he had no intention of playing the sheep-eating-man game with the Wind Country. However, if the trend continued, the Wind Country might really grow a large amount of tobacco. With the interests at stake, not to mention him, even the Third Kazekage would not be able to stop it. At that time, the only one who could save the world would be Ye Cang——
Kumogakure, Raikage's Office
Nowadays, the person sitting here working is not the Fourth Raikage, but his mother, Sairu Mirei.
The reason is very simple. The current Fourth Hokage is just a puppet, but Sairu Meiling has an excuse. In order to improve the Fourth Hokage's strength to the level of the Third Hokage as soon as possible, she will take over things like office work.
"In order to build a unified purchase and sale channel, we need to build roads to connect the major cities in the Thunder Country, but some fields will be occupied during the process, and some people are protesting."
Hearing this, Sairu Meiling couldn't help but roll her eyes and looked at the ninja not far away.
"So, you haven't been on a mission for so long that you've forgotten you're a ninja?"
As she spoke, she raised her carefully manicured nails and scratched her neck.
"dong dong dong"
"Jounin Troy Vigong requests an audience"
"You go down first."
"Yes."
The ninja opposite wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned away.
"You damned thing, why are you back?"
Seleu Meiling looked at Troy Vigong who had returned from a journey exhausted and thought he was missing her.
"lady."
Troy Vigong looked around and made sure that there was no one around, then he took out a scroll from his arms.
“This is a profit sharing.”
"Share? What? Are you talking about the 100 million taels?"
"Yes, ma'am."
Troy Vigon nodded.
"This was handed to me by Mu Zi Zhongyi himself. Not a penny less, exactly 100 million."
"call"
Sairu Meiling took the scroll with her hands trembling slightly. It's not that Yunyin is short of money, but the money is all in the public account and not easy to move. But this money is completely hers.
"but."
But soon, a trace of confusion appeared on Sailu Meiling's face.
After all, her son had promised to invest the money in the Ninja School. Although she had already controlled her son, she had to have a reason to refuse this matter.
"So, what can you do? Think about it for me. I don't want to waste this money on those cannon fodders."
"Reply Madam."
Troy Vigong lowered his head slightly, secretly praising Mitsuha Takanashi for her accurate grasp of people's hearts, and spoke.
"When I came back, Grand Admiral Shuimen said that the dividends for these five levels would not be one hundred million, but fifty million taels."
Hearing this, Sailu Meiling's eyes lit up. She saved 50 million taels, but she was still a little unhappy when she thought about the remaining 50 million taels.
"Hey, you are really greedy."
Troy Vigon spoke again.
"Also, General Secretary Muzi Zhongyi also said that the various ninja tools used by civilian ninjas in their daily training, as well as the large-scale training equipment used in the practice of chakra training, are constantly being updated. Instead of buying those ninja tools that will be eliminated, it is better to save the money first, or invest it, and then take the money back when you are ready to expand the recruitment of ninjas in the future. This will allow the ninjas to use new tools and collect interest during this period."
"Eh? That makes sense."
Sailu Meiling's eyes lit up, as if she had understood a new track.
