Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 135 Final Meeting

The reception room is a little crowded today.

On Konoha's side, Hyuga Yuzuru only had Hinata Kaoru as his secretary and Uchiha Izumi, who as an ANBU needed to be with him as usual, and there was no one else, but on Sunagakure's side, besides Rasa, there were In addition to the other two core elders of Sunagakure Village, Chiyo and Ebizo, there are also two veteran elite ninjas as reference advisors and guards.

There is only one elder in Kirigakure Village, but he is a real heavyweight, Yuanshi. The four people following him are also some of the core members of Kirigakure Village that remain today. Their status is similar to that of Konoha's Inoka. Butterflies are generally important.

This elder named Yuanshi has a very high status in the Hidden Mist Village, even not lower than that of the Hidden Mist Village. Now he looks extremely old, and even he is trembling when he walks. The fact that an old man so old that even his teeth have almost fallen out has traveled all the way to Konoha shows the sincerity and anxiety of the Hidden Mist Village.

Although Hyuga Yuzuru was the winner, he still paid due respect to these old men. At their age, it was not easy to come out. If they had not been outstanding ninjas when they were young, they might not have reached this point. I won't be able to hold it any longer halfway.

"The Fifth Hokage, we on the Kirigakure side are willing to accept Konoha's conditions, and are also willing to return the Byakugan that we accidentally obtained from the Hyuga clan in order to forgive our mistakes." Genshi sat on the chair and spoke slowly. And weak, Terumi Mei stood behind him silently, her eyes full of despair.

The elder in front of her, Mei Terumi, respected him from the bottom of her heart just like everyone else in the Hidden Mist Village. But now, the old master had to cross mountains and seas to rush to Konoha to seek a way out for the Hidden Mist Village. As a member of the Hidden Mist Village, how could she not feel sad that the Hidden Mist Village had fallen to such a state.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly: "In this case, Konoha is willing to believe in the sincerity of Kirigakure. From now on, we will continue to maintain a good relationship with Kirigakure. Whether it is business or other cooperation, Konoha welcomes any sincere friend.

I also deeply sympathize with the Fourth Mizukage for being manipulated. "

The master sighed softly, stood up tremblingly, and bowed: "Thank you for your understanding, Fifth Hokage. The people of Kirigakure will remember the Hokage's kindness and repay this favor."

He looked at the conditions proposed by Konoha and didn't feel anything bad at all. It could be said that from the perspective of Kirigakure Village, Konoha decided to carry out a series of business projects and cooperation with Kirigakure Village. It can even be said to be saving lives.

As the defeated party, they did not lose territory, were not compensated, and did not encounter the other party's liquidation of killing everyone and adding insult to injury. Instead, they may benefit from the new business ecological environment. Even the Yuanshi had to admit that Konoha's move He is truly 'kind' to the extreme.

Hinata Yuzuru also stood up and bowed slightly out of courtesy, but said meaningfully: "I hope that after today, the Hidden Mist Village and Konoha can forge a true friendship."

"Of course. The Fifth Hokage has the world in his heart and can be called the world's ninja hero. My Kirigakure is now in decline. Konoha can lend a helping hand. We are extremely grateful and will never do anything ungrateful. After this alliance, Kirigakure is willing to take Konoha as the leader and work with Konoha to do our utmost for the peace of the ninja world."

The master's attitude was extremely humble, and he clearly understood Hinata Yuzuru's thoughts from his words, so Hinata Yuzuru naturally smiled back at him.

"I would like to share the same goal with you." He bowed to Master Yuan, and the matter was settled. How to cooperate and what the specific content of the cooperation would be only needed to be discussed in private. The purpose of the current three-party meeting was to see their attitudes.

Unlike Kirigakure Village, which is now leaderless, in Sunagakure Village, Rasa sat in a row with two elders, but even as the Kazekage, Rasa just shut up in embarrassment and said nothing, allowing Chiyo to do the same He stood up and bowed slightly to Hinata Yuzuru with a complicated expression.

"I have heard of the Fifth Hokage's reputation for kindness in the Sand Village. Today, I came to Konoha and saw that his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Chiyo first complimented respectfully, but then, she put on a pitiful gesture and whispered: "For this Chunin Exam incident, we, the Sand Ninja, are to blame, but please consider that we were only deceived by a villain."

Hinata Yuzuru waved his hand and said calmly: "Chiyo-senpai, sit down and talk."

Chiyo had to sit down, while Hinata Yuzuru sat on the sofa with a golden sword, his hands on the armrests, his fingers intertwined in front of him, his head slightly raised, without words, an aggressive posture was ready to come out.

The three people from the Sand Village thought something was wrong, but Hinata Yuzuru, as expected, went straight to the point.

"Is it true that the Sand Village wanted to overthrow Konoha and start a war by taking advantage of the Chunin Exams?"

"It's true." Luo Sha answered stiffly.

"I could have joined forces with the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield to annihilate the Fourth Kazekage and the Sand Village army, but when the Fourth Kazekage decided to surrender, we gave the Sand Village a chance to survive and even saved the Fourth Kazekage's life. Is that true?"

"It's true." Luo Sha's face became more and more embarrassed. He clenched his fist unconsciously, but he no longer had the momentum he had during the Five Kage Summit. Konoha had indeed spared his life - fighting in Konoha was not as easy as fighting in the desert. The battlefield was in chaos at the time, and Konoha showed its strength.
To put it bluntly, it was more than enough to even clean up Gaara.

Until now he still hasn't figured out why the magical Sharingan that was rumored to be possessed by Uchiha Madara is now appearing in large numbers in this generation of Konoha as if it were free?

What’s even more terrifying is that the current Fifth Hokage is even more powerful to the point of being unbelievable.

The black chakra group summoned by Payne of the Akatsuki organization that day can almost be said to have created a huge meteorite in the air. Its terrifying power almost killed every ninja who was sucked up into the sky without resistance. Power, even Luo Sha, can't help but feel sad.

In a battle, half of the casualties came from the previous melee, and the remaining half were almost all caused by Payne's terrifying Earth Blocking Star. This kind of power is simply unimaginable that humans can possess it.

But Hinata Yuzuru faced it head-on, using a golden laser cannon that was so terrifying that he couldn't help but remain silent when he thought about it now, and pierced through it in one shot.

And if he heard correctly, the move used by Hinata Yuzuru at that time was gentle fist.

Anyway, he never thought that soft fist would be such a thing in his life.

How terrifying is Hinata Yuzuru's resurrection?

He didn't even dare to think about it.

With a sigh and a light tap on the armrest, Chiyo understood his intention and frowned slightly, but in the end she could only lower her head and said nothing more.

Hinata Yuzuru then frowned slightly and said calmly: "I only want the Sand Village to compensate the One-Tail Jinchuriki. The rest of the commercial terms will certainly make Konoha profitable, but please ask the Kazekage to ask himself, is there no benefit for Sand Village?

Or is it that my conditions are too good, which gives you room for negotiation?"

"No." Luo Sha opened his mouth and looked at Chiyo beside him. Seeing that the other party wanted to speak, he immediately waved his hand and said, "We have no intention of bargaining, and we don't have too many ideas of quibbling. It's just that the Sand Village has reached a point where it will die if it doesn't change. Now that we have been defeated, we have nothing to say and should let Konoha deal with it.

But, Gaara, he is my son after all!"

He started to play the family card, but when he saw Hinata Yuzuru raised his eyebrows, he immediately changed his words and said, "However, even so, I think Konoha's conditions are acceptable. It's just that, can you make some changes to the business contract to give the Sand Village some room to survive?"

He still didn't want the Sand Village to become Konoha's dumping ground at all.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly.

He finally revealed his true intention and said directly: "Of course. Compared with Konoha going directly to the Wind Country to run some industries, some things are naturally better done by Sunagakure."

As soon as Hinata Yuzuru's words came out, not to mention the people in the Sand Village, even the Master noticed something. Everyone looked at him, but Hinata Yuzuru spoke slowly.

"The business activities of Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure, if nothing unexpected happens, can only be carried out between us, but for Konoha, it is not enough.

And, for your consideration, I have come up with a great idea.

Konoha provides technology and personnel training, and each ninja village forms its own chamber of commerce to conduct commercial activities in the Water and Wind countries.

However, its core technology will be retained, and raw materials, key materials, etc. must also be imported from Konoha.

I also hope that the two major ninja villages can accept the terms of Konoha's patent law and pay fees on time when using Konoha-related patents.

Of course, I also hope that the two major ninja villages can actively participate. Recently, the patent law protects not only the Konoha family. As long as the relevant patents are registered in Konoha, patent fees can also be collected under the protection of the patent law, ensuring that R&D benefits. "

Seeing that they were frowning, obviously not realizing how much changes this would bring to the ninja world, Hinata Yuzuru had to explain the benefits more clearly.

"Konoha will guide, invest, and build enterprises in each ninja village, and Konoha's enterprises will also directly build factories around each ninja village. This can bring a lot of employment to both major ninja villages, and can also Let's get closer together.

What you have to pay is far less than what you gain. "

Luo Sha was silent for a moment, and Chiyo came out to fool around. She pretended to be confused and asked in a low voice: "Please forgive my stupidity, but is this action still beneficial to the Sand Village?"

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly: "Once you have your own factory, your own business, and provide employment, people will have their own salary income. Villagers will have money and can spend it in the village. Consumption will create a market, and the products manufactured will mainly be sold to the Wind Kingdom and other countries.

Konoha's current commercial activities are only limited to the area around the Fire Country. Trade in other countries is often restricted. But even so, Konoha no longer needs funding from the Fire Country to allow its people to live and work in peace and contentment. , the village can maintain a balance of revenue and expenditure by relying on tax revenue, and even continue to build infrastructure and improve people's livelihood.

Although Konoha's move is also for its own profit, please think about it, especially for the Sand Village, which is often choked by funding. If it can open up new sources of income and no longer rely on the support of the Wind Country,

activated.

Luo Sha's ambition was instantly activated.

His heart began to beat wildly at the thought that he no longer had to respectfully beg the Daimyo of the Wind Country for more money. At this moment, he thought of Hinata Yuzuru's infamous "Reply" incident, and immediately he felt a surge of blood as if "are there any emperors, generals, or ministers of different races?"

I really don't want to pan for gold in the sand to supplement my household income.

Is this what a shadow should do?
But he couldn't help but frown as he thought about how much profit Konoha could make from it.

How could the other party be as harmless as he said?
Just charge royalties?
Get lower tariffs to dump goods?

But once Sunagakure Village has its own factory, in addition to food and other environmental economic crops that rely on Konoha for these products, it seems that there is not much need for other products?

I have not thought about the specific harm of Konoha's investment and factory construction. I just think that according to what Hyuga Yuzuru said, this is obviously a good thing for Sunagakure Village.

How could anything be so cheap?

Luo Sha was puzzled and couldn't guess Hinata Yuzuru's real purpose, but Chiyo seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes widened slightly, and her old hands unconsciously grasped the armrest. She turned around and saw Yuan Yuan in the distance. The teacher's brows were furrowed at this moment, with a vague expression of anger.

The Master coughed twice and said, "If this is the case, the Daimyo of the Land of Water might be angry with the Hidden Mist Village. We cannot agree to this decision at that time. It seems a little bit inconsistent with the identity of the Hidden Mist Village.

If Hokage-sama is willing, I would like to consult the Daimyo of the Land of Water before making a decision."

Master Yuan has lived long enough.

Even though he had left the village for a long time, he was still able to accurately judge the situation in the ninja world through intelligence, and, in a brief conversation, grasp the other person's true thoughts.

Hinata Yuzuru just said indifferently: "If the Hidden Mist Village can't make the decision, then I think the Land of Water can't make the decision either."

"This..." Master Yuan couldn't help but say the word ridiculous. He couldn't understand how someone could have no fear or respect for the daimyo?
Does this Hokage think that his status is above that of the Fire Country Daimyo!?

But when he thought about it carefully, cold sweat broke out on his forehead - it seemed that it was really like this!

His real purpose may not be making money, trade, business, or cooperation.

But for
Usurping the country! ?
Master Yuan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He had never thought of such a rebellious idea in his life.

The Ninja Village is just a weapon of the country! ?

But it was obvious that Hyuga Yuzuru in front of him didn't think so. He said calmly: "The terms I just mentioned are the basic framework of this business cooperation. If you agree, we can talk about how to do business. If you don't agree.
This business can only be done by Konoha itself, in the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Water.

I don't want to have any more conflicts with you, but we have to see whether the daimyos of various countries can agree to let Konoha do business properly.

If other countries choke Konoha's neck for no reason, do not allow Konoha to carry out normal business activities, or even forcibly seize Konoha's industries in other countries, engage in unscrupulous piracy, ignore Konoha's patent law, and do not recognize Konoha's patent law,
That’s fine.”

But Hinata Yuzuru suddenly laughed.

He said nonchalantly: "As long as we abide by the commercial terms and do not interfere with Konoha's commercial activities in other countries, it will be fine. As for compensation, we can do it like before, pay the money, return the disputed territory, and re-plan the border line."

He suddenly took a step back, which made Ebizo, who had been silent, realize something. He immediately shouted, "Sunagakure is willing to cooperate."

Chiyo looked at his partner with a frown, not understanding why he said that, but Ebizo signaled that he would talk later and quickly said: "Can you give me some time to discuss?"

Hinata Yuzuru stretched out his hand, pointed outside the house, and said calmly: "There are two meeting rooms on the third floor, please feel free to use them."

He stood up and looked a little tired and said, "How about we talk again after two hours of rest?"

"Okay." Luo Sha nodded in agreement, and Master Yuan could only nod.

He had already seen some signs of Sunagakure's attitude that he found difficult to accept, and left the living room in silence. He went to an empty conference room under the leadership of Hinata Kaoru, and looked at Terumi Meiwa next to him. Several ninjas who had followed from Kirigakure Village sighed in exhaustion.

Mei Terumi finally spoke, wondering, "Master Yuanshi, why don't you agree to Konoha's conditions?"

"He wants us to imitate Konoha and usurp the country!!" Yuanshi lowered his voice in shock and anger, waved his hand heavily, and said hoarsely: "How can I agree, how dare I agree!"

Terumi Mei looked stunned: "What?"

"Have you ever thought that once we cooperate with Konoha, accept Konoha's conditions, and trade with them, we will also accept Konoha's help, build factories, develop business, and carry out business cooperation in the Wind Kingdom as unscrupulously as Konoha.
What would the daimyo think? ? "

Genshi coughed a few times, covered his forehead with one hand, and said sadly: "With the lessons learned from the past mistakes of Konoha Fire Country, how can the Daimyo just sit back and watch us grow?"

"You mean the Daimyo of the Land of Water will just stop our financial assistance like the Daimyo of the Land of Fire did?"

Terumi Mei couldn't believe it, but Genshi shook his head and said: "It depends on our attitude and whether we are willing to continue to respect them as daimyo - but you have to know that the factory was built by Konoha, and the technology belongs to Konoha. , the patent fees still have to be handed over to Konoha by Kirigakure Village.

How much should we give to Konoha? How much should we give to the daimyo? How much should we collect as taxes in the village?

It would be fine if we could produce and sell our products on our own, but if this continues, our products must command a premium to make money no matter what!

Konoha has retained its trade with the village, competing with us for the market in the village at a low cost. Our market is only the Water Country outside the Hidden Mist Village, which can share the money with the Daimyo. How much will we have left? Konoha's products will be sold in the village!
The villagers will only buy cheaper Konoha products, but Konoha, due to commercial terms, extracts wages from the people of Kirigakure for their hard work with extremely low taxes!
Over time, the daimyo will become rich and the life of the villagers will not be bad, but will Kirigakure Village's finances be good?
How much money should Konoha earn?

A large amount of wealth pouring into Konoha means that Konoha can complete infrastructure faster and have more funds to develop better equipment, which will widen the gap. When our factories are left behind in terms of technology, our domestic products will no longer have any competitive advantage.
Konoha doesn't need to spend a single soldier, it only needs to take care of its own little piece of land, and it can use its economy to widen the gap with us. By then, Konoha will become a paradise on earth, and we will be nothing more than Konoha's factory."

The more Master Yuan spoke, the more excited he became. He said sadly, "What's more frightening is that the Daimyo may not understand our difficulties at all.

As long as we cooperate with Konoha, even if it is just a helpless choice.

When we embark on Konoha's 'road to prosperity', we will become a thorn in the side of the Daimyo.

One country, two villages, or even the Water Country abolishing the Hidden Village, are all foreseeable things. Once our Hidden Mist Village reaches that point, I am afraid that the only way out for us, other than joining Konoha, is to take action against the Water Country."

Master Yuan's thinking was still a bit shallow.

He didn't understand the trade war method at all, but he instinctively thought that Konoha was encroaching, relying on high technology to plunder the wealth that should belong to Kirigakure Village, but he didn't understand that there were many such consequences. a lot of.

For example - the currency exchange rate changes, the price of Konoha's raw materials will change at any time, Konoha's per capita income will achieve a more terrifying growth, Konoha will be able to expand the village more rapidly with the help of other ninja villages, and seize the high ground in the cultural field through commodities and economic status.
You dare not fight and cannot fight today, and you will be even more afraid to fight and even more unable to fight tomorrow. In the end, you will be powerless to resist and will die.

The only way out seems to be to imitate Konoha in an all-round way. Like them, start the reform from within the Ninja Village, without making a dime for the daimyo, and start development with the Ninja Village as the core. Only then will it be possible to maintain peace and harmony in the future. Leaves the power to contend.

But
Isn't that usurping the country?

If other ninja villages follow Konoha's example, the country will cease to exist and the world will fall into complete chaos. Countless wars will break out, and the ninja villages will go to war with their own countries. After that, a new world pattern will be formed. From then on, the ninja world will be the world, and the ninja village will be the country.
The ultimate goal of the Fifth Hokage is probably to start a terrible world war in this world.

What he wants, the Hidden Mist Village simply cannot give him - he wants the entire market of the Land of Water, he wants the current five major ninja villages to become a situation where Konoha is the only one in power, and then, will Konoha still retain its current gentle appearance?

changed!

It's going to change!

Even decades ago, the ninja village first appeared in this world.

No one has ever thought that the ninja village would one day replace the country!
But Hyuga Yuzuru used his own performance to tell everyone that Konoha is not a wage earner in the Land of Fire, nor does he want to be.

He wants to change the world's pattern, change the nature of Konoha, and force everyone to change together. Failure to change will mean death.

Mei Terumi was silent for a moment, but at this moment, she waved her fist heavily and said, "Then we can't be slow!"

She looked at the Master and said seriously, "We should consider the people of the Hidden Mist Village, not the Daimyo of the Land of Water!"

The master looked at her in a daze, but Terumi Mei said firmly: "The village exists because of people, and the shadow appears with people's hopes!"

Looking at her face, Master Yuan was silent for a moment and sighed sadly.

In his heart, he still had great respect for the so-called daimyo, but the fact was before him that he was old.

And the Hidden Mist Village did not have the capital to reject Konoha.

The reason why Hyuga Yuzuru gave the second option was to allow the two ninja villages to pay compensation and sign some compensation agreements as before.
Genshi speculated that judging from Hyuga Yuzuru's generosity and ambition since he took office, he could not rule out the possibility that he planned to wait until the time was right to establish his own power in the Land of Fire and annex the world.

If you change, you will survive; if you don’t change, you will die.

He was speechless. For a long time, he could only say in a low voice: "Let Mizukage decide this matter."

Mei Terumi was stunned: "Mizukage!? But..."

Master Yuan took out a document and handed it to her with a silent expression.

"Now, you are the Fifth Mizukage."

Terumi Mei was both excited and worried. She stared blankly at the words and signatures on the document, unable to speak for a long time.

At this moment, Hinata Yuzuru was sitting in the living room, drinking tea leisurely, with blue light flashing in his eyes, but he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

Code.

So typical.

Seeing Mei Terumi excitedly taking the blame from the Mizukage, Hinata Yuzuru couldn't help but sigh.

These old guys can do anything to preserve their reputation!
From his point of view, isn't this the reason why Master Genshi temporarily pushed Terumi Mei to the stage in order not to bear the blame for "usurping the country" and "conspiracy against the daimyo", and asked her to agree to Konoha's "loss of power and humiliation of the country" for him? Are you going to become the sinner of Kirigakure Village according to the terms?

Turning my sight, I saw a completely different scene over at the Sand Village.

Just looking at Rasa talking loudly and persuading Chiyo to accept Konoha's conditions, with excitement flashing in his eyes, in Hinata Yuzuru's opinion, he has probably been unhappy with the so-called Daimyo of the Wind Kingdom for a long time.

Hinata Yuzuru withdrew his gaze, turned his head and looked out the window.

This is just the beginning.

When the Kirigakure and Sunagakure villages began to actively move closer to Konoha, they both began to change their nature and seek independence.

What plans will the other ninja villages make?
The most important thing is, can those daimyos see the current situation clearly and understand their own status?

Hyuga Yuzuru thought for a moment. He didn't care about the other daimyo. As for the daimyo of the Fire Country, he didn't plan to give him too much time.

It's time to carve your own face on the Hokage Rock.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an arc.

"Xiao Xun."

"Yuzuru-sama."

"Write a letter to the Fire Nation Daimyo for me later."

"Write what?"

"Just tell him that I want to meet him. This month is relatively busy. I will make time to go there in mid-July. I hope he can be ready."

"Yes!"

Hinata Xun agreed first, and then smiled knowingly: "Do you need me to polish it up?"

"Slightly~" Hinata Yuzuru raised the corner of his mouth at her, and Hinata Kaoru understood what he meant. He chuckled, with a little admiration flashing in his eyes. To be honest, if Uchiha Izumi liked his gentle side, then Kaoru liked him the most like his current appearance.

As expected, the man in front of him, who had been patient and gentle for a long time in Konoha, was already ready to release the beast in his heart.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly and said, "It's fine for just the three of us to go. No need to prepare anything grand. I know they don't have much money recently."

Hinata Xun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "Yes, I know."

Hinata Yuzuru leaned back on the sofa, looking out the window comfortably.

I want to be the real leader of Konoha.

Dear Daimyo of the Land of Fire, do you dare to object?
He was looking forward to the other party's response.

Not long after, Kirigakure and Sunagakure returned to the living room together. Both parties accepted Konoha's proposal with different expressions. The subsequent chores needed to be done step by step, but many of them still stayed after the Chunin Exam. 'The ninjas in Konoha can finally go home.

Of course, accommodation fees still have to be paid, which is thirty thousand taels per person per day. Kirigakure and Sunagakure Villages readily agreed, and Konoha conveniently received another small sum of nearly 100 million taels - the two families gave four thousand taels each. Ten thousand, one person gave more than fifty million, which is more or less, but it can almost make up for Konoha's economic losses directly.

The remaining part, Hyuga Yuzuru planned to throw it directly into their Ninja Village, which can be regarded as being used wherever it is taken.

Little money!

However, when the meeting ended, Terumi Mei was left alone again. She didn't say anything. She just waited for the people from Sunagakure Village to leave and the people from Kirigakure Village to leave, and then looked at him suggestively, Hinata Yuzuru understood and asked Hinata Kaoru and Izumi to do whatever they wanted, so he and Terumi Mei stayed alone.

The only thing worth mentioning is that when the two girls left, they looked at Mei Terumi with unexpectedly common hatred of the enemy.

Mei Terumi just accepted everything, and didn't mention it until they left. She just kept silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Godaime Hokage, I have some questions for you."

"Excuse me."

Hinata Yuzuru looked at her curiously, wondering if she had anything else to ask.

"Why are you doing this?" Her eyes were burning, not wanting to miss any changes in the other person's expression.

Hinata Yuzuru just looked at her and smiled slightly.

"In this world, some people will pursue the truth behind everything in this world, and some people will follow the trend of the world and follow the rules of this world.

But for me, I don’t like the truth of this world, nor do I like the trends of this world, and I don’t like the rules of this world even more.”

"Is it that simple?" she murmured.

"It's that simple." Hinata Yuzuru replied calmly.

"Then what do you think of the existence of the Daimyo? Even if you don't like some rules..."

She lowered her head.

Hinata Yuzuru just propped up his face with one hand: "The so-called rules are for those who cannot survive without following the rules. I don't need them. The weak adapt to the world, the strong change the world. In this world of the jungle, the so-called rules, regulations, and laws are just the rules of the game that can be changed at any time.

What you are worried about is not how important these rules are, but what will happen if you become the one who breaks the rules.

If all you want to know is what the consequences will be, then I can tell you my opinion in advance.
Even if I will end up standing on the opposite side of the vast majority, I will still win. This is not a matter of probability, but a scene that will inevitably appear in the future.

Whether you believe this or not, I will do it all and change it all - in your lifetime. "

Mei Terumi savored every word, and at the end, she could only whisper in amazement, "Really?"

"If you are still worried that Konoha has the ambition to dominate the world, there is no need to worry."

Mei Terumi looked at him, who was now leaning on his side face, looking a little lazy and unruly. Her gaze was fixed on his charming blue pupils, watching the light flowing in them.

“To me, there is no point in dominating the world, and there is no point in being the dominant Konoha family.

Human beings are advanced but cruel creatures who will kill each other because of desire.

Even if Konoha is the only force left in this world, it will eventually fall apart because of desire.

All I have to do is to set new rules and create a new structure for the ninja world.

As long as the world becomes a less nasty place, that's fine.

What happens next is none of my business."

After he finished speaking, Mei Terumi remained silent for a long time. She was silent for a moment and then burst out laughing.

"What a great man."

"You're not bad, woman."

He stood up and left leisurely: "Oh, I forgot to tell you. If you need a marriage partner, please call in advance and get a number. There are not many high-quality single men in Konoha nowadays. If they are snatched away by girls from other Mist Villages, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"My friend." She remained calm.

"Yes Yes."

Hinata Yuzuru floated away.

Terumi sat in the reception room for a long time, speechless and choking, and then she let out a sad sigh.
