The last boss of the ninja world

who is it?

Whose masterpiece is it?

What Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to know most now is not the principle of the technique, nor how much profit the technique can bring, but who drew this technique.

If it is a ninja from another country, if this ninja is still in Konoha Village at this moment, then Sarutobi Hiruzen will never let him leave Konoha alive.

But if the ninja is a ninja from Konoha, the first priority is to protect him first and then slowly train him.

"Return to Hokage-sama, it is the work of Tanino Musashi."

Hiruzen was shocked. Ita had secretly reported the matter to the Hokage's office, and the Hokage's assistant immediately sent the ANBU ninjas from the Hokage Guard to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It turned out to be Tanino Musashi?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was no longer calm. He looked at the spells on the table and the ink that had just dried up. He thought that Musashi had studied the simplification of the "Flying Thunder God Art" and still had free time to draw such a new and heaven-defying spell.

But that's fine, if it's Tanino Musashi, he is now protected.

Thinking about this, Hiruzen Sarutobi silently exited the train company lobby.

Back in the Hokage's office, from the assistant's mouth, Sarutobi Hiruzen learned the ins and outs of the whole thing, and Ida reported that Musashi demanded half of the train company's earnings.

"Idiot, you saved six times the cost, but only got half the profit!" After hearing the report, Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table and angrily said, "This is so stupid."

Let alone half, even if you want to get [-]% of the profit, Sarutobi Hiruzen would think it is less.

At this moment, just as Musashi had guessed, when he heard the request for income, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not regard the income from the train company as Musashi's personal property at all, but regarded it as the common asset of Konoha Village.

"No, we have to find Musashi as soon as possible and ask him to re-raise the conditions. Half of the proceeds is too small, at least [-]% of the proceeds are required."

Konoha is in a time of money now. The economic recovery after the war is slow, and most families are living extremely restrained lives.

Not only is it a matter of income, but someone must be sent to supervise the progress of this matter and implement it as soon as possible so that the idle and unemployed ninjas can quickly return to work.

The future is promising and the prospects are promising.

Leaving all work behind, Sarutobi Hiruzen led his assistant to the secret base.

In the secret base.

Ida seemed to have done something wrong and avoided Musashi's sight. Although reporting Musashi's movements was his job, at this moment he felt guilty for betraying his companions.

That's a few hundred taels. No matter how dark the Hokage-sama's heart is, it's impossible to confiscate them all. Musashi-sama expected only tens of thousands taels, so he shouldn't be too disappointed...

Yi Tian comforted himself and made excuses for his betrayal.

But Musashi no longer cares about the profits at all, and he has calmed down.

In fact, the most important reason that limits the development of trains is the high cost.

The distance from Konoha to the Daming City is 15 kilometers, which can be reached by walking in half a day, and for 150 taels, you can buy several kilograms of beef. Ordinary villagers have nothing to do but spend money to take the train.

When costs come down in the future, ticket prices will naturally follow.

However, as the cost has dropped, lines that were originally afraid to be opened can also be opened. By expanding the scale, the money earned may not be less than the huge profits.

In short, Musashi’s contribution to promoting social progress is indispensable.

As for money, just enough is enough.

"Lord Hokage!"

Ida bowed respectfully, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly in response, and then quickly jumped over Ida and came to the main research room.

After many reminders from Tsunade, Musashi will now pay attention to the surrounding situation no matter what he does.

Musashi actually knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was coming when he first entered the research room, but he ignored it and still focused on staring at the draft in his hand, pondering the feasibility of fusion.

Apart from anything else, the Tai Chi diagram on the draft drawing, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi borrowed a complete Taoist text, he probably wouldn't be able to understand the principles of Tai Chi in less than ten years.

Even Musashi himself is half-informed at this stage and only knows a little bit about it.

"The old guy is so calm."

Half an hour later, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still standing quietly behind Musashi, staring at Musashi's sketch and lost in thought.

He could clearly understand every stroke of Musashi's strokes before he drew the technique, but after Musashi covered the original technique with another completely unrelated technique, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes darkened and he was completely confused. I don't understand the principle.

Yin and Yang alternate, and the two techniques appear back and forth at a fixed frequency. The light flowing from the technique proves that the technique is feasible.

"really."

Musashi looked at the masterpiece with satisfaction.

He applied the seals of [Flying Thunder God Technique] to the technique. If the technique was successfully fused, it also meant that the corresponding seals could also be fused.

It's just that the Tai Chi theory can be used in the technique, but in terms of seals, Musashi has not yet thought of a way to force fusion.

No matter what, let’s sort out the entire sealing process first, and then think about it slowly.

"Hey, Hokage-sama, when did you come?"

Putting away the draft, Musashi pretended to have just discovered it, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen in surprise and asked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his beard, not showing any embarrassment at peeking at Musashi's research: "I just arrived. I heard that you developed a new technique and sold it to the train company."

The word selling was bitten hard by Sarutobi Hiruzen, which seemed to remind Musashi of something.

Musashi pouted with an innocent look on his face, as if he didn't understand what Sarutobi Hiruzen was talking about, and asked softly: "Hokage-sama, what's the new technique?"

"Ahem..." Hiruzen pretended to cough twice and glanced at the discarded draft aside pretending to be casual.

"Oh, Hokage-sama, you are talking about this."

Musashi slapped his forehead, pretending to react, then took out the finished drawing that he had just put away, and explained: "This is called the Twin Technique. It has two sides, Yin and Yang. Both sides are the same technique, but each has a different structural effect."

"Twin Technique?" Hiruzen listened to Musashi's explanation and nodded secretly in his mind.

Twins are easy to understand, but how to draw them is a mystery.

"Its principle is very complicated to explain. Hokage-sama, you are so busy that you probably don't have time to listen to me. In short, it is not a new technique, it is just an opportunistic method of drawing the technique."

That's it?

No, I have plenty of time to listen to your explanation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to jump up and give Musashi a slap in the face. What do you mean I'm very busy and don't have time? I think you don't want to say it at all.

"Well, I am indeed very busy." Nodding, Sarutobi Hiruzen said against his will, but then he changed his tone and added: "You are doing research in silence alone, and no one can help you. How about this? , I will send three apprentices to help you in a few days, even if they can help you sort out the papers, you can just focus on your research and don't worry about trivial matters."

Damn it, the old fox is indeed an old fox, he can crawl along any rope.

Musashi wanted to give him a slap in the face. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't, so he could only bow and thank him: "Thank you, Hokage-sama, for your care."

"How is the research progress going?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt very happy, and with a kind face on his face, he glanced at the messy research room and asked casually.

"I have some experience."

Musashi frowned. He could feel that there was a trick in the old fox's words, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

"Thanks a lot!"

"Return to Hokage-sama, it's not hard."

"It's like I was full of energy when I was young." As he said this, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his eyes half-closed, pretending to feel very sorry for his junior, stood on tiptoes, touched Musashi's head kindly, and said: "You can rest assured and put all your energy into research. I will help you take care of other things. We can't let our Konoha star have to worry about everything himself."

Good guy!

After going around a long way, it turned out that the pit was here.

If you directly say that you want the train company's income, we can't discuss it.

You pretended to care about me, but secretly, your real purpose was to gain profits from the train company.
