Chapter 55：

To sit in the position of advisory elder, an honorary elder is a must.

The Third Hokage obviously gave Danzo the position of an honorary elder, and the other honorary elder was an asset for Danzo's operation.

Danzo was satisfied and asked again: "Hiruzhan, who do you think is the right other honorary elder?"

Sandai took a puff of cigarette and said: "The security department can move."

Danzo thought for a moment.

The security department is now under the control of Hyuga Hizashi. The clan of the Hyuga clan has long been outdated. If it can be beneficial...

It just so happened that Danzo was placed at the root of the security team, and because Nakamura Kazuya was expelled, everything became a dead end.

As for Hizashi's love for Natsuki, he had been suppressing these people to death and only allowed them to patrol Konoha's first to fourth streets every day.

They are not allowed to interfere anywhere else.

If an elder from the Hyuga Clan intervenes, can the roots be moved?

…

Hokage Building.

Fugaku suddenly received an invitation from the Third Hokage.

So I came to the Hokage Building early.

Entering the office, the Third Hokage was already handling official business.

This is the first time to see the Third Hokage since the last Kumogakure incident.

"Lord the Third Hokage." Fugaku's mood was different now, and he no longer had any emotions towards the Third Hokage.

When you see the destruction of the ninja world in the future, it is difficult for Fugaku to feel respected by the shadow of a village.

The Third Hokage has become a good old man over the years. He said with a smile: "Fugaku is here, sit down."

Fugaku sat down as he was told.

"I wonder what the Third Generation wants to do with me."

The third generation picked up the tea cup: "Fugaku, we may not have seen each other for a long time. It seems that your Uchiha clan has been developing very well recently. You, the clan leader, have contributed a lot to this."

Fugaku said calmly: "It's okay. These are all Xia Mu's contribution and have nothing to do with me."

The third generation clearly felt the change in Fugaku's attitude.

He said cheerfully: "All your Uchiha restaurants are popular in Konoha Village."

Fugaku didn't answer.

The third generation added: "Fugaku, the village is ready to strongly support your shop."

Fugaku raised his eyebrows: "How are you going to support the Third Generation?"

The third generation took out a floor plan of Konoha Village and drew a circle on it with his finger.

"The [Chinese food] shops are all concentrated on Eighth Street, and there are still a lot of people on other streets. This is a huge waste."

The Third Hokage said matter-of-factly.

"I am going to give you eight shops on each street from 1st to 7th Street, so that your shops can cover the entire Konoha."

Fugaku followed the Third Hokage's finger and saw that the circle drawn by the Third Hokage basically included all the commercial streets in Konoha.

If [Chinese Food] shops were opened on these streets, the income of the Uchiha clan would undoubtedly double.

but…

Fugaku looked apologetically and said to the Third Hokage: "Sir, Third Generation, we Uchiha don't have that many people, and we Uchiha can't take care of so many shops."

The third generation nodded: "I have thought of this problem a long time ago, so I will send someone to manage the store. You Uchiha only need to provide technical training."

"In the end, we can share the profits equally, what do you think, Fugaku?"

Fugaku sneered in his heart, it turned out that he coveted our secret recipe.

"No need, Lord Hokage, I think Uchiha's business is enough, and he doesn't have enough energy to take care of other things. I have no plans to open more stores for the time being."

Fugaku stood up.

"The clan is busy with things. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

After saying this, Fugaku walked outside.

Although the current Uchiha's income on the surface is less than one-tenth of Konoha's, Natsuki left so many Ta no Kuni franchise fees before.

Fugaku is now very confident and does not need to worry about the third generation's face.

Sandai did not leave Fugaku behind, but calmly put the map away.

This time he was just being polite first and then fighting. He had long known that he would not be able to handle the current Uchiha like he did back then.

…

Chapter 70 The layout of the Kingdom of Wind

The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

"This is sour plum soup, this is burnt jelly grass, and this is herbal tea."

Xia Mu handed Luo Sha one plan after another.

"Here are desserts, peach gum, glutinous rice, cough suppressants, Poria paste..."

“These are detailed ways of making them.”

Luo Sha holds this pile of plans. As the shadow of a village, he certainly has strategic vision.

He quickly discovered the commercial value.

"I have selected these that are more in line with the climate of your Kingdom of Wind. You can find someone you trust and run them yourself, and we will split the money in the end."

Luo Sha frowned: "What is your purpose?"

Natsuki smiled and said: "You are the shadow of a village. If you promote it, we Uchiha can make more money."

"It can be considered as finding an ally for us Uchiha."

Natsuki emphasized the pronunciation of the words "We Uchiha".

Luo Sha suddenly realized that Uchiha was now the dominant family in Konoha, and ranked first in Konoha in terms of economy and high-end combat power.

But the overall strength is still slightly inferior to that of Konoha where all major ninja clans gather.

What Uchiha lacks most now is development.

Although Fugaku has resigned from the post of guard captain, as long as Uchiha has money, he can provide resources to various ninja clans.

In the selection of Hokage, it doesn't matter if you have the right before you.

If you can provide enough benefits, then even if you were a commoner before, you can still choose the Shadow of a Village.

Rasa was elected because of his sufficient meritorious service during the Third Ninja War.

And Fugaku has already shown his strength as a powerful Mangekyō Sharingan. Since the Third Hokage suppresses him in terms of power.

Uchiha saved the country and developed economically to run for the position of Hokage.

Natsuki, the deputy chief of the Uchiha clan, had given him plenty of benefits when he came to Sunagakure Village.

Natsuki solved the sealing problem that could not be improved in the entire Sand Hidden Village.

Luo Sha asked many people in the village to check it out. Xia Mu's sealing technique was indeed unique, and he really came with good intentions.

From now on, Gaara can freely control whether to talk to Shukaku, and there is no longer the risk of going berserk.

It also allowed Rasa and Gaara to reconcile, and let Rasa know that she had done many things wrong.

Although the process made Luo Sha very uncomfortable.

But the situation is stronger than the people, and the rules are made by the strong.

Besides, Natsuki just wants one Uchiha ally.

A win-win situation, Luo Sha couldn't think of any reason not to agree.

"Okay! I agreed. As long as I, Rasa, am in power for one day, I will be your Uchiha's strongest ally."

A smile appeared on Natsuki's face.

"Now that the official business is over, the next step is private business." received Luo Sha's promise.

Xia Mu also sat relaxedly on the chair.

"oh?"

Natsuki said: "Although the ninja world has gone through three wars, there are still many careerists."

"Gaara's seal is now solid, but as a jinchuriki, he will inevitably be coveted."

Luo Sha listened carefully. The Country of Wind was relatively poor among the five major countries. The daimyo had no intention of governing the country, and the funds of Sunagakure Village had been cut for a long time.

Therefore, he, the shadow of a village, could only go out as a gold digger to subsidize Sunagakure's finances.

If Luo Sha hadn't learned this skill, I'm afraid Feng Ying wouldn't have had his turn.

The jinchūriki were originally used as the village's strategic weapons, but Sunagakure Village lacked talents and did not have talents who were proficient in sealing techniques.

As a result, Ichibi Shukaku has always been able to see but not use it. Originally, Fenfu controlled Ichibi Shukaku quite well. His clear mind made Shukaku even admire him.

However, due to the power struggle among the senior officials of Sunagakure, neither of them wanted the other to control the Jinchuuriki.

So he chose to imprison Fenfu in prison until he grew old.

Many opportunities were missed in vain.

Natsuki continued: "We Uchiha have reliable information that there is a huge force that is plotting against tailed beasts."

"Their strength is so strong that it may affect more villages than Konoha and Sunagakure in the end."

"And Gaara is also part of their plan."

Luo Sha did not ask Xia Mu about the source of the information, which was a secret belonging to others.

I just felt a little nervous about the idea of ​​fighting the tailed beast, and now Gaara was a jinchūriki.

As we all know, if the tailed beast is drawn out, the jinchūriki will die.

This is tantamount to killing Gaara.

"What are you going to do, Mr. Natsuki?"

Natsuki said: "I am very optimistic about Gaara's talent. Gaara should have been violent often before and did not receive a good education."

"In the past few years, Master Kazekage might as well concentrate on training Gaara to avoid the disaster that will surely happen in the future."

"With Gaara's potential to grow to adulthood, he will be the best candidate for the next Kazekage."

Luo Sha was a little moved. It was one thing for her to recognize her child's talent, but it was another thing for others to recognize her.

He has personally experienced Xiamu's power, but such a strong man.

He actually thinks so highly of Gaara.

Luo Sa solemnly promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Natsuki, I will train Gaara well."

"In addition to business cooperation, I am here this time to bring you this news so that you can be prepared."

Rasa felt a little uneasy. As the deputy chief of the Uchiha clan, he was the master of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

People who stand at such a height will not give special instructions without aim.

But that organization hasn't shown up yet, so Luo Sha can only keep her worries in her heart.

After Xia Mu explained everything, he quickly set off without stopping.

The purpose of his coming to the Kingdom of Sand was for Gaara, and he wanted to form a good relationship with Gaara now so that he could be included in his own influence in the future.

Now that Obito is causing trouble in Kirigakure, there is not much time left for Natsuki.

Natsuki took out the map and looked carefully. The people to be abducted were distributed in the Country of Grass and the Country of Taki.

The Kingdom of Water, which has the most talented people, is alone overseas. To get there, he has to cross the entire Kingdom of Sichuan and the Kingdom of Fire.

Taking a boat from the Kingdom of Yu, it would take an ordinary merchant ship several months to sail to the Kingdom of Water. If there are wind and waves, it will take even longer.

Kumogakure and Kirigakure's boats are much faster and only take more than a month, but their boats are always available.
