Konoha: Start by unraveling the caged bird!

Chapter 142 Arriving at the Daming Mansion

Ordinary people don't know when Yuzuru Hyuga went to the Land of Fire.

For safety reasons, Hokage's whereabouts have always been known to only a few people, but this time, Hyuga Yuzuru also refused the cooperation of Anbe and Nebu, and only took Hinata Kaoru and Uchiha Izumi out.

Naturally, this also has Hyuga Yuzuru’s own considerations—with Flying Thunder God and Future Vision, with Hyuga Yuzuru’s ability, in today’s ninja world, even though there may be enemies that he cannot easily defeat, there is absolutely no one who can stay behind. people exist.

With only two people, he can use Flying Thunder God to take his own people to run away at any time. If there are too many people, it will be inconvenient.

On the other hand, Yuzuru Hyuga also has some small thoughts of her own.

For example.
Take the opportunity to steal a little vacation out.

Of course, this holiday is only compared to the workload when he was in Konoha. Yuzuru Hinata deliberately planned to start a few days earlier. On the one hand, he wanted to take his own people to rest for a few days, but It is also an on-the-spot investigation of some situations in the Land of Fire.

As for the real purpose, it didn't take much time to talk to the fire country daimyo.

In two days at most, the conversation can be concluded.

The time to leave Konoha was in the early morning of July NO.12—although Konoha is now fully open, considering safety issues, the time of entry and exit is still limited to between [-]:[-] am and [-]:[-] pm. Xian naturally didn't have to wait for Konoha to open the door, and set off an hour earlier to avoid the crowd and travel light.

Kaoru Hinata is much weaker than Izumi Uchiha, but she is not a powerless existence. Although she has been a little lacking in cultivation in recent years, her overall strength is only based on the family of the Hyuga family. Secret techniques and white eyes are comparable to ordinary Jnin, coupled with mastering a lot of theoretical knowledge and secret techniques, their strength should never be underestimated.

The speed of the three starting jounin is naturally faster than the average person, but Yuzuru Hyuga did not choose to go too fast, or even choose to take a shortcut, but chose to move after using the transformation on the road with.

The purpose, of course, is to be able to see with one's own eyes the current situation in the Land of Fire.

As Konoha's business becomes more and more prosperous, the most intuitive manifestation is that more and more roads are built around Konoha, and the roads are getting better and better.

In this world of ninjutsu, building roads is not difficult for ninjas. It may be difficult to lay concrete and asphalt roads, but it is not difficult to arrange multiple paths after the land is organized. .

The three of them marched all the way disguised as ordinary Konoha ninjas. The most intuitive feeling is that there are a lot of caravans coming and going.

What's more, around the main road, at intervals, there are tea shops, restaurants, and hotels privately opened by civilians from the Land of Fire for the use of caravans.

This made Yuzuru Hyuga wonder whether this business can be handed over to Konoha himself - this can also effectively monitor the situation of the entire business route.

The three of them stopped and stopped, stopping whenever there was a village, and entering any town. They procrastinated all the way until eight o'clock in the evening, and finally arrived at the first big city in the Land of Fire, Shangyan, which was scheduled to arrive.

Shangyan, as the largest city closest to Konoha in the Land of Fire, was relatively affected by Konoha the most.

The nature of the city, because Muye Village is not far away, this big city in Shangyan is still mainly commercial, and it is one of the important transfer stations for Konoha's foreign trade. Now, walking into the street , you can see the influence of Konoha on Shangyan in one detail after another.

For example, the paving of the main road obviously uses Konoha's unique cement material, but there are no traffic lights and various intersections reserved in advance like Konoha, it is simply paved to facilitate movement.

Pedestrians on the street are also dressed in Konoha's clothing style, and all kinds of goods sold in the shops are produced from Konoha, even including many branches opened from Konoha, which makes Yuzuru Hinata and Kaoru Hinata looked sideways.

Uchiha Izumi is better - she has been running field work in Anbe before, and she often goes out of the village, and she is used to it, but Hinata Kaoru has almost no chance to go out of the village. It can be said that this is the first time she has left Konoha and looked outside What is the city like, the expression cannot hide the excitement.

Yuzuru Hyuga has been a temporary hokage for several years, and has never had the opportunity to leave the village again. This time he left Konoha and arrived in a new city. Compared with what he saw when he was Anbe when he was a child, all these changes made him There was a touch of pride and satisfaction in his heart.

These are all the changes he brought to the world.

Hyuga Yuzuru couldn't help but raise his lips when he thought of the mass production of automobiles and motorcycles and the further popularization of electronic equipment.

almost.

Soon.

The three of them did not choose to travel overnight, they found a hotel and opened three rooms, and then wandered around the city of Shangyan at night, which was slightly less prosperous than Konoha at night, but the most important thing about Yuzuru Hyuga was, Or observe the details of people's lives here, customs.

After a night's rest, I continued on my way the next day. This time, I sped up the speed a little bit. The speed of the long-distance rush of the few people was enough to withstand the slower train. The speed was tens of kilometers per hour. I stopped and took a look at the two cities. , after resting in a small town for a while at night, they went straight to the capital of the country of fire.

In fact, one day is enough from Konoha to the capital of the Fire Country, but Hyuga Yuzuru circled around—mainly for the towns around Konoha, took a good look, and observed it personally some.

Looking for a suitable direction for Konoha's future expansion.

The capital of the Land of Fire is called Kyoto. It is located in the very center of the Land of Fire. The straight-line distance from Konoha is only more than 300 kilometers. , Take a good stroll first.

It has to be said that Kyoto is worthy of being called Kyoto. In terms of prosperity, it is not far behind Konoha.

All kinds of quaint and majestic building complexes, bustling crowds, traders coming and going, except for the slight lack of modernization, it still looks extremely prosperous.

Yuzuru Hyuga walked around, even had a meal at a very famous restaurant in Kyoto, and then went shopping for a while, and arrived at the Daming Prefecture in the afternoon.

After the transformation was lifted, Yuzuru Hyuga was wearing a Naruto hat and a figure wearing a royal robe, which was particularly conspicuous. Izumi behind him was wearing an Anbe mask, and Kaoru Hyuga was wearing a black secretary uniform with the Konoha logo. The person's characteristics are clear, and even without explaining the purpose of coming, the guard standing at the gate of the Daming Mansion immediately went in to report in a panic.

Not long after, there was a hearty and somewhat 'exaggerated' smile from inside.

"Findaime Hokage, you are finally here."

The daimyo came out with a kind and kind smile on his face, and the people behind him were all richly dressed, and one could tell that their status was not low just by looking at him.

Further back, there are some guards dressed as samurai. Yuzuru Hinata's blue eyes glanced around, and his strength is not to be feared. The strongest one has a Chakra reaction that is only at the level of Jnin, which shows the loneliness of the samurai group today. .

Samurai and ninja are not the same group, in fact, there are many contradictions between the two.

Hyuga Yuzuru looked away thoughtfully, looked at the daimyo in front of him, lifted the veil in front of the bamboo hat, and showed a modest smile: "I have admired the daimyo for a long time, and today I saw her, and she is as elegant as the rumors."

"Godaime is absurd, come on, please, let's go in and talk!"

The daimyo was all smiles.

The guards at the door had been dumbfounded for a long time, so they forgot to lower their heads. This was the first time they would go out to meet someone in such a 'humble' way when they saw the daimyo. There are times when he comes out to greet you in person.

However, when he thinks that the person he greeted is the famous Konoha Fifth Hokage, he can't help feeling a little respect and longing in his heart. The existence of this young ninja who is proud of the world really gives people a kind of feeling. A man should feel that way, just looking at it, he has a fairy-like temperament, which makes people feel awe.

Yuzuru Hyuga and Daimyo walked inside. Along the way, the simple yet luxurious buildings made him look sideways, and Daimyo explained carefully without any pretense, such as where the furnishings were, what style they were from, who they were from, and the words There is no intention of showing off in the middle, and Yuzuru Hinata is willing to give him a high score in terms of attitude.

It seems that such a long time has not been in vain for him.

The big name in front of him obviously experienced a lot in his heart early, and now he has made a judgment.

Yuzuru Hinata doesn't care whether he is talking about honey, or really thinking about bowing his head and being a small person, as long as the other party is willing to pretend to be a grandson in front of him-he will really treat the other party as a grandson.

The place where we finally sat down to talk was the meeting hall of the Daming Mansion. In the past, this was the place where we held meetings with other nobles. The daimyo sat alone in the first seat, with a row of nobles or ministers sitting on each side, but now, the first here But there were two low tables.

Hyuga Yuzuru paused, and the originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly condensed, but he just smiled when he looked at the table, and then sat at the first seat.

Well, it seems that this daimyo's last insistence is to want to be on an equal footing with me?
The daimyo breathed a sigh of relief, sat beside him, and said with a smile on his face.

"Godaimu has been exhausted so far. I don't know if there are any arrangements for tonight? If there is nothing wrong, I have arranged a banquet and singing party for Godaimu, and I have prepared for the night's accommodation."

Seeing Yuzuru Hyuga nodding in agreement, the daimyo smiled even more. He was really afraid that the other party would treat him with the attitude of a document.
Hyuga Yuzuru didn't refuse, but just smiled and said: "The master invites, but the guest dare not say goodbye."

The meaning in these words is thought-provoking, the daimyo narrowed his eyes slightly, but immediately nodded with a smile on his face, but was speechless for a while.

Host and guest?

You don't even want to call me 'Daimyo-sama'.

The servants below brought the tea quickly, but Yuzuru Hyuga waved his hand and said, "I'm not used to tea soup, but do you have Konoha clear tea?"

"Haha, that would be even better. In fact, I also like Konoha's green tea." As the daimyo said, a minister below turned his head with a look of resentment.

Daming, we can't, at least we shouldn't
Yuzuru Hinata smiled, which looked exactly the same as Daimyo's expression.

"Who is this girl?" The daimyo turned his head and looked at Kaoru Hinata and Izumi Uchiha who were sitting below him. Izumi Uchiha hadn't taken off his Anbu mask at the moment, and was sitting without saying a word, except for putting his samurai sword under his body. Expressing a friendly surprise, it seems that there is no slack in the slightest.

And Xun looked elegant, even though he was dressed like one of his subordinates, but the daimyo looked at the white eyes and manner of the other party, but couldn't help guessing that the other party's identity might not be that simple.

Who doesn't know that the Hyuga clan all engage in intra-clan intermarriage.

"This is my bodyguard, Uchiha Izumi from Anbe, and this is my secretary, Kaoru Hinata."

Yuzuru Hyuga made a brief introduction, and the daimyo immediately introduced several important ministers beside him. After chatting with everyone, hello and me, daimyo cheerfully suggested that it is better to have a few drinks first, and Yuzuru Hyuga did not refuse. , They are all here, and they are not in a hurry, so they will check the other party's preparations first.

Seeing him nodding, the daimyo immediately sent someone to pour wine and serve wine and side dishes. The singers and dancers had already prepared for a long time. In ten minutes, what was originally a serious and formal meeting turned into a party of singing and dancing.

The daimyo is very measured and only talks about life, not about state affairs. The two sides exchange glasses, and Hinata Yuzuru does not refuse. With his body, not to mention this kind of sake, it is replaced by alcohol. As long as he does not want to get drunk, I can't get drunk.

These classical vocal music sounded fresh at first, but after listening to it for a while, Yuzuru Hinata felt a little tired. Although the dancers are beautiful, the dancers with scantily clad clothes are compared to the ladies and sisters on the Internet before crossing. , is still slightly inferior.

Singing and dancing, the daimyo finally took the opportunity to change cups and asked 'inadvertently': "Godaimu came here this time just to get the formal appointment document of Hokage from me, right?"

Hyuga Yuzuru raised the sake, didn't drink it, just smiled slightly: "Of course it's not just that."

Daimyo seemed to be drinking a little too much, his face was red, and he leaned over affectionately: "Oh? What's wrong with Konoha? Just tell me?"

"Today's Konoha is developing rapidly. Judging from the current situation, everything else is easy to say, but this place is not enough. I wonder if the daimyo can transfer the south of Konoha, including several small towns such as Shangyan, to Run by Konoha?"

As soon as the words came out, the daimyo's eyes widened slightly, the wine glass in his hand shook slightly, and a few drops of wine fell. After a long time, his smile was a little embarrassed: "Godaimu joked, Konoha occupies an extremely wide area, let alone a Shangyan, even if we rebuild two capitals, the space is enough, why do we need the towns of Shangyan?"

"The daimyo's words are wrong. If you talk about the place, Konoha is naturally enough, but daimyo also knows that it is only a matter of time before the population of Konoha exceeds one million. Such a population is only supported by Konoha's ninja village. There are many difficulties.

In particular, the Land of Fire has encountered difficulties in recent years, and you, daimyo, have cut off Konoha’s funding. As the fifth generation, I have to plan ahead and start thinking about ways for the future.

If there are a few cities in Shangyan, and the direction south of Konoha is managed by Konoha, we will have a self-sufficient soil, and we will no longer need to rely on the big name to worry about getting involved and waste money and money. dont you agree? "

Yuzuru Hinata's voice fell, even though the musicians and dancers were still playing and dancing, the sound of the big guys drinking and chatting happily disappeared all at once.

The smile on the daimyo's face was stiff, and his eyes were staring at Yuzuru Hyuga, but Yuzuru Hyuga just showed a gentle smile, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, holding the wine glass with his fingers, but he didn't drink it.

Some of the ministers below finally couldn't hold back, and after hearing Yuzuru Hinata's words, they shouted loudly.

"Nie Chen! What do you think of your name in your heart!"
