Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down

Konoha Village!

An airship docked at the 'airship area' a few kilometers away.

The overall cigar-shaped aerostat looks much more refined and regular in appearance compared to ordinary aerostats.

Just like two boats of the same size, one is a fish boat and the other is a yacht. People can definitely tell them apart at a glance.

This is the castle's own 'yacht', specially designed for travel.

Extremely popular!

Anyway, the big nobles will buy it.

After all, compared to bumpy carriages and other means of transportation, airships are countless times more comfortable and faster, so there is no need to consider the choice.

As for the cost and so on? .

Is this a problem that nobles need to consider... Expensiveness is a problem for ordinary people, not a problem for nobles.

In the entire ninja world, the richest people are in the aristocratic stage.

It can even be said that with less than 1% of the population, they occupy more than 90% of the wealth and resources.

Yes, the nobles are so greedy and corrupt, otherwise Tang Ping would not have grabbed each other and fought to death.

Because he doesn't want to squeeze money from ordinary people and wants to develop well, he can only attack these incompetent and corrupt classes.

Since the time of the Nobles of the Sky, the castle tower has been developing at a rapid pace, and it's hard to feel too comfortable.

In terms of taxation, it's not like the Fire Nation daimyo never sent people to collect taxes, but they all ended up committing suicide by carrying seventeen kunai on their backs.

Bureaucrats refused even more.

Anyway, there are many shrine maidens in the castle tower, so there is no need for bureaucrats to manage it.

Now, the nobles of the Fire Country are extremely jealous when they look at the castle tower and the surrounding area hundreds of kilometers away.

Who made this area that was originally extremely desolate and without any value, turned into fertile land with the investment of the castle tower regardless of the cost.

Such a good place, anyone with a clear mind will keep an eye on it.

Even Konoha has the same mentality, but due to everyone's relationship and strength, they have never taken action.

Snap!

The side baffles of the airship dropped and connected to the wooden tower like a springboard, allowing people to step off the airship.

"Your Excellency Tang Ping!"

Nara Shikaku, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward to greet him.

As for his previous disguise to come to Konoha, it was as if he didn't know.

Inviting the other party to run for Hokage this time, of course, the etiquette must be grand.

At this time, the castle tower was completely like one of Konoha's princes, and they still didn't listen to the tune or the announcement.

If Konoha is strong, it will naturally be able to force the opponent to bow.

But now that Konoha is not strong enough and is still surrounded by enemies from all sides, it will naturally have to bow its head and ask for mercy.

Therefore, it is definitely the best choice for Nara Shikaku, who is the 'Konoha Military Advisor', to greet him.

However, among the people who came to greet him this time, there was also a special team.

Class 10!

That is the class led by Asma.

Bring the other person on this occasion, but don't make the intention of nurturing too obvious.

If it were an ordinary genin, let alone participating in such an occasion, there wouldn't even be a teacher in charge.

However, some people's expressions changed when they saw Tang coming out of the airship.

"How is that possible!"

Yamanaka Ino's exclamation made Nara Shikamaru, who was looking around with a bored expression, look over. When he saw the 'boy of the same age' who was the leader among the group of people, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

"Shikamaru...isn't that the exchange student named Sohei?"

Akimichi Choji was so frightened that he didn't even bother to eat snacks.

Because their mission today is to meet a big shot.

Unexpectedly, the person who came was an exchange student they had met before. How could they not be surprised and shocked.

"No...there is a problem with the other party's identity!"

Shikamaru's eyes became more serious.

Based on the current scene, it is natural for him to understand that the identity of the other party is not only problematic, but also a big problem.

But these are beyond their control, so they just observe silently.

Dohei finished looking at the welcoming team and teased Nara Shikaku in front of him.

"It seems that the village attaches great importance to my arrival. Even the famous Konoha military advisor has been sent to welcome me?"

With his current status, it's not an exaggeration to make a joke.

"Douhei, as the purifying flame and the commander of the Southwest Ninja Army, means that Hokage-sama is not feeling well, otherwise he would have to greet him personally!"

Nara Shikaku's words were extremely beautiful.

However, sometimes it’s not about what the other person says, but what the other person does.

The other party has never expressed its stance, and there are very few secret transactions. In fact, it has already expressed its stance.

I don’t even want to ride on two boats.

"Actually, I think the Nara clan are all smart people. It seems like I'm the one who thinks better of them!"

Tangping nodded.

After the Nara clan has the miko system, it is naturally not indispensable, but it would be good if they can be conquered, otherwise they will have to send the other party to death.

And this death refers to a clan.

After all, your clan are all smart people. Since we are enemies, of course we will kill you all to avoid causing trouble for ourselves in the future.

"…The Nara clan has always been the Konoha ninja clan!"

Nara Shikaku could naturally hear the chill in Dohei's words, but he could only express his attitude with a wry smile.

Yes, the Nara clan is so tied to the big ship of Konoha that there is no possibility of jumping off the ship.

"I just hope that the Nara clan will not regret it in the future!"

Tang Ping said no more.

Anyway, he had tried to persuade him, and since the other party wanted to seek death, he would not stop him.

If he spent energy and means, it was not without hope to subdue the Nara clan, but that would be like pulling an ancestor over to himself, and he didn't want that.

Anyway, with the shrine maiden, a system with higher loyalty and more hard work, the Nara clan would be gone.

And behind Dohei, many people came to the castle tower.

Yamama Koji, Hinata Sogetsu, Izumi, Naruko, Karin, Kasumi and others.

Uchiha Mei naturally had to stay in the castle tower.

Now that the Ninja World War has begun, even if no one dares to cause trouble, at least be careful.

After all, the castle tower lost a lot of strength in the previous battle of Myoboku Mountain, and there are toads coveting it in secret. If you are careless, something might really happen.

It's a pity that those toads didn't know where they hid after leaving Myoboku Mountain.

If he finds them, Dohei will definitely deal with them as soon as possible.

But there is no need to be too anxious.

As long as the big toad sage is killed, the biggest hidden danger will be solved. No matter how powerful the remaining toads are, without sufficient natural energy, it is impossible for powerful toads to appear continuously. Even for people like Bunta, whether they can maintain themselves is a problem.

Therefore, the castle tower can be on guard against the remnants of Myoboku Mountain, but will not focus on the other side.

A team came to Konoha Village not far away.

The atmosphere in Konoha is tense now.

Who asked Asuma to rush back with the defeated ninja army? The Rock Ninja and the Cloud Ninja entered the territory of the Land of Fire again.

It was because Jiraiya and Tsunade, two of the three ninjas, returned to the village, which gave people some confidence.

Hokage election!

It was even more publicized.

It was used to deter and divert attention.

The villagers' attention was on the election, which diluted the tense atmosphere.

As for deterrence, it was naturally because no matter which new Hokage came to power, it would not be as incompetent in foreign wars as Sarutobi Hiruzen, the "strongest Hokage", so the major ninja villages had to think clearly about the consequences.

It has to be said that even under the worst conditions, Konoha played a good card.

At least the advancement of the Kumo and Iwa ninjas slowed down a lot, waiting for the new Hokage to take office, and also wanted the new Hokage to point his spearhead at the other side.

"Wait, Sakura, don't leave!"

A loud shouting voice came from the street ahead, and the faces of several people in the team changed.

Too embarrassing!

This thought flashed through Quan's mind.

And Ino's eyebrows also showed the word "well", and she wanted to beat up Naruto.

Soon, the two entangled people saw this team, so Naruto greeted them.

"Hey, that one is called... Sohei, what are you doing in Konoha?"

If you don't know the other person's personality, you might think this is a provocation.
