Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

If it is said that after experiencing the chaos of ghosts and monsters, the country of ghosts was a scene of lifeless and lifeless, then the country of ghosts now shows an atmosphere of vitality and all things competing for development.

Looking down from the sky, Uzumaki Naruto saw a wide road with luxuriant branches like blood vessels unfolding on the land of the ghost country, and as the main node between the blood vessels, it was once destroyed in the chaos of monsters Most of the towns in the country of ghosts have now been rebuilt into large cities with towering towers and a vast area. Like powerful beating hearts, they are busy feeding blood vessels called merchants and A lot of "blood" from travelers.

Such a scene, even in the era in which Naruto Uzumaki lived, was relatively common only in a few relatively well-developed large countries. For those small countries with little development and no important resources, even if it is a country The capital may not be more prosperous than any city in the country of ghosts that you can see along the way.

"It's amazing. Obviously, the country of ghosts is just a small country in the ninja world. It has neither a lot of natural resources nor an economic source like ninja villages that can earn a lot of money. Now it can be in such a short period of time. Over time, it has developed into such a prosperous appearance..."

When the two landed in the capital of the ghost country, which was already close to Konohamoto Village, Naruto Uzumaki looked up at this busy city, and couldn't help feeling like this.

In this regard, Kaguya Rei rolled her eyes a little speechlessly, and while using her psychic snake to notify the witches of the ghost country that there are guests visiting, she said casually:

"If you only focus on one country, the country of ghosts is indeed not a country with rich resources and a large population. Except for a man-made large chakra aggregate like a ghost, there is basically nothing that can make a big change in the country. Capital……

However, if we take advantage of the good geographical location of the country of ghosts, use the power of sprites that had to be sealed in the past for the construction of national transportation and cities, and supplement it with the good and reliable reputation of the witches of the country of ghosts among neighboring countries , a business hub that can drive neighboring countries to exchange resources, economy, etc., is also possible to establish. "

"Don't think that under the order I made, each country in the ninja world will turn into a closed sea island like before, and only maintain a rare and hindered way of communication with surrounding countries, Uzumaki Naruto .”

"...For the time being, I have also maintained cooperation with several other villages in the five great ninja villages, and made Konoha and the country of fire prosperous. Don't say it as if I don't know how to cooperate at all. The effect is astonishing."

Uzumaki Naruto complained helplessly.

"But your expression tells me that your understanding and mastery of things like win-win cooperation and regional economic integration can only be described as tragedy."

While Kaguya retorted casually like this, she cast her gaze on a petite figure with white hair who was flying towards her like the wind.

"Brother Zhishui~ I haven't seen you for a long time~"

Shion's voice was full of surprises as the next shrine maiden of the Ghost Country, although she found out that the person who came was not Shisui Uchiha whom she had a crush on, but Shisui Uchiha's immediate boss Kaguya When Lian was in love, she inevitably showed a little disappointed look, but she quickly adjusted her mood, and saluted Kaguya Lian and Uzumaki Naruto very dignifiedly.

"Long time no see, Mizukage-sama."

"Well, it's really been a long time since I saw you, Shion has grown into a beautiful girl who can hit straight balls with that boy Shisui."

Kaguya Lian first joked casually, then looked at the sweat on Shion's forehead that hadn't had time to wipe off with embarrassment, and asked in a slightly serious tone:

"Did you practice the priestess training just now, Shion?"

"Yes!" Ziyuan wiped the sweat from her forehead, and proudly puffed up her budding chest, "Although I still can't do it like my mother, I can still do it at a distance of hundreds of kilometers." Precisely dispatch and command the terracotta warriors to execute orders, but if the control distance is shortened to less than ten kilometers, my ability to control the terracotta warriors will no longer be worse than that of my mother!"

"Then congratulations to the Kingdom of Ghosts in advance, for being able to complete the development and utilization of the power of sprites faster and better, and to sell the labor force of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses to neighboring countries earlier, so as to stimulate further prosperity of the country's economy. "

"Thank you, Mizukage-sama, for your compliment~"

As an elder, Kaguya patted Ziyuan's shoulder approvingly, then looked back at Uzumaki Naruto who was frowning slightly, and said casually: "If you have any questions, just ask, Naruto...have something to say Isn’t it your ninja way to say it straight?”

"Then, let me ask you directly," Uzumaki Naruto thought about his choice of words, and asked Shion who was looking at him curiously: "The kingdom of ghosts...is planning to let the witch , to become an existence similar to Jinying Jinzhuli, to use its special abilities?"

"Renjuriki...?"

Zi Yuan frowned slightly on her cute and delicate eyebrows, and then replied uncertainly:

"Shouldn't it count? After all, sprites are essentially the aggregation of negative chakras separated by the witches of the kingdom of ghosts in the past. They come from the same source as the witches, and their lives are connected. There is still a big difference from tailed beasts... Bar?"

"But in terms of the method and risk of using this power, it's not much different from becoming Renzhuriki."

Uzumaki Naruto seemed to recall the long process of getting along and reconciling between himself and Kyuubi, he couldn't help but sighed, looked at Shion with some worried eyes and asked:

"Wouldn't it be hard work, or regret something, Shion?"

"If you work hard, there should be some... but there is no regret at all!"

Out of trust in Kaguya Rei, and Uzumaki Naruto's aura of affinity, Ziyuan gave his answer without thinking too much, and after hearing this answer, Uzumaki Naruto sighed in a complicated mood , muttering to himself:

"To subdue the sprites and completely use its huge and evil chakra for its own use is a very long, hard and dangerous road..."

"But it is also the only opportunity that allows the Kingdom of Ghosts to take advantage of the gale of this era and allow people in the Kingdom of Ghosts to live a better life."

Zi Yuan looked into Uzumaki Naruto's eyes and said very seriously:

"I've heard brother Shisui talk about Jinchuriki, and I also know that for witches, sprites who are one with us and have two sides are more dangerous and troublesome than most tailed beasts that are hostile to humans...

But even the Nine-Tails, which is the most hostile to humans, can also be a help for people to protect what they want to protect. "

While saying this, Ziyuan's hands formed special seals, and along with a cold chakra wave spreading out of her body, terracotta warriors with stern faces and swords came from the ground at Ziyuan's feet. Climbing out slowly, and under Ziyuan's control, the terracotta warriors walked with orderly and heavy steps, and joined the guards patrolling the witch's residence without any sense of disobedience.

"In order to prevent their own ambitions and darkness from overinflating, the ancient witches chose to separate them with secret methods, which eventually led to the birth of sprites, but conversely, the witches of the past generations wanted to protect the kingdom of ghosts and wanted to protect the kingdom of ghosts. Proof that people living here can live a more peaceful and stable life."

"If the spirits of the ancestors in the sky knew that the power they had to abandon could be used to help the kingdom of ghosts to prosper, even if they crossed the boundaries of time and space, they would definitely not hesitate to treat me and my mother. Have shelter and blessings."

Uzumaki Naruto took a deep breath.

In his eyes, after Ziyuan finished speaking with hope and determination, the cold and evil aura that lingered on her body became weaker for some reason, as if the words she mentioned It is as if the priestesses of the past generations really answered her prayers in the dark.

Unbelievable...but perhaps, Chakra is such a mysterious power.

Thinking of this, Naruto Uzumaki recalled his experience of meeting Shion from another time and space when he was young. He narrowed his eyes with nostalgia, and casually asked Zion:

"Then, your ability to predict the future, after you made up your mind, did you activate it again, Ziyuan?"

"No, not even once." Ziyuan tilted her head and replied with a light smile.
