In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 132 Major Construction Project, Jiraiya's Experiences in Kirigakure

call!
Finally home.

Looking at the familiar room and smelling the fresh, damp air, Naoki Kaguya felt very happy.

When I get back, I should first deal with the backlog of work.

Moreover, if I remember correctly, the money I received from the merchant should be in my account by now.

After catching his breath and recovering from the dizziness, he carefully sensed the coordinates of the Water Shadow Building.

In the blink of an eye, he was already sitting next to Mei Terumi.

"The water is still hot."

Mei Terumi didn't even raise her head. Noticing the movement beside her, she simply pointed to a teacup engraved with the Flying Thunder God mark and emitting steam.

"Have a drink of water first since you're back from that place."

"Thank you."

Arrest Kaguya Naoki.

It's warm.

Turning to the side, looking at Mei Terumi's somewhat tired face, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Ming, take a rest."

"There's some left."

"I come."

Naoki Kaguya grabbed him, finally understanding why he'd been so busy lately.

"Why do we have to handle such trivial matters?"

Naoki Kaguya was very puzzled.

"It's one thing to do ninja mission assignments, diplomatic work, and financial and food supplies for Kirigakure. But why do we have to bring up even the cases of lost cats and dogs?"

Mei Terumi rubbed her forehead, propped herself up, and carefully wiped away the sand that inevitably got on Naoki's head, while laughing in response.

"That's a good thing, Naoki."

“During the third generation, people didn’t trust the village much, and they didn’t have the spare money or time to report these messy things.”

"Now, because you, Naoki, are in power, everyone is willing to trust you, so there are more of these kinds of things to do."

"That's a good thing."

Naoki Kaguya smiled with slight relief.

"However, I still feel that we shouldn't continue like this."

"The most important thing is not working too hard, but efficiency."

"Working like this is far too inefficient."

Terumi Mei understands.

"Is it going to be a matter of separating functional departments?"

"of course."

"Let's discuss this later."

"I'll consider it after I check the balance of Wuyin."

Mei Terumi suddenly revealed a mysterious smile.

There was a hint of pride mixed with smugness, as if there was also a sense of honor.

"That's a lot?"

Mei Terumi did not answer, but skillfully pulled out a scroll embroidered in purple, symbolizing the highest level of secrecy, from the stack of scrolls beside her.

Naoki Kaguya took it and nervously opened the scroll.

this is.

One two three four five
So many zeros?

In both past and present lives, I've never seen such a large amount, not only in my account balance but also in the free currency of some games.

If converted to Asma heads, it's barely countable.

Naoki Kaguya was shaken.

He quickly suppressed his pleasure and looked at the silent Third Generation.

"Third Hokage, I wonder how this number compares to Kirigakure in the past."

"do not talk."

The third generation took a deep breath, clearly having been hit where it hurt.

Naoki Kaguya was somewhat innocent. When the Third Hokage was in power, there was no habit of keeping records of finances. This data was probably only known to the Third Hokage himself.

"You just need to remember that this amount of money was an astronomical figure for Fog Shadow in previous years."

Naoki Kaguya turned around. "Then let's get the arrangements for all functional departments on track as soon as possible."

"Furthermore, the village's hospital, school, and various facilities should also begin to be replaced."

After a slight pause, Naoki Kaguya, who was quite wealthy and powerful, said...

"If we want children in schools to feel more comfortable accepting their mediocrity and becoming skilled ninjas, we must first give them enough positions."

"This time, all the construction work in Kirigakure was carried out jointly by ninjas and craftsmen."

Naoki Kaguya waved his hand, and Mei Terumi's smile became slightly stiff.

So quickly, we have to pay off this debt.

Anyone would feel sorry for you.

Not to mention, Naoki actually spent all of that money on building the village.

Mei Terumi didn't quite understand, but she still smiled happily.

but.

If it were Naoki, he would definitely have his own considerations.

Things will get better with the fog.
-
A week later, outside Kirigakure, a caravan, weary from their journey from the border of the Land of Fire, crowded the entire road.

Amidst the piles of goods on the horse-drawn carriages, a white-haired figure emerged.

With slight modifications, he transformed into an ordinary, unremarkable commoner from the mist-shrouded village.

Is this the Hidden Mist?
Stepping on the damp, muddy ground and looking at the dilapidated houses around him, Jiraiya couldn't help but feel disappointed in Kaguya Naoki.

How can a village like Kirigakure be considered a match for Konoha?
To gather information, it's best to start from one place.

A blush crept across Jiraiya's face.

Hey.

I wonder what the flower-themed pleasure district in the misty wilderness looks like?

Jiraiya grabbed a man beside him who looked like he knew a lot about things.

Do you know that place?

Jiraiya gave a knowing look that any man would understand, while the man immediately wore a mocking expression.

“That place.”

"There used to be a lot, but now..."

The man shook his head.

"Those places were completely ravaged by the Fourth Hokage!"

"Nowadays, even some hidden red-light districts require introductions from acquaintances, and they actually look down on me and don't give me the qualifications!"

As the man continued rambling on, Jiraiya frowned slightly and, for the first time, became curious about Kirigakure.

"understood."

Jiraiya interrupted the man's conversation, filled with resentment, and shouted from the bottom of his heart.

"The Fourth Hokage is a bastard!"

"Yes!"

The man wholeheartedly agreed.

If such scum dislikes Kaguya Naoki, doesn't that mean he's doing alright?

Jiraiya's heart sank slightly. After taking a few steps forward, he immediately sensed a dense fluctuation of chakra not far away.

I blended into the crowd and squeezed through.

Fire Release, Wind Release, Earth Release, and then the craftsman embeds the stone bricks.

In this way, a solid, flat, and clean road was built in a short period of time.

They actually made ninjas do these things.

Unlike others, Jiraiya did not think this was a waste of resources; instead, he began to think about it seriously.

Does Naoki Kaguya truly have the determination to change everything?
I shook my head and turned around, but after taking only a few steps, another house rose up from the ground.

Jiraiya walked along, keeping it in his heart.

I'm getting more and more alarmed.

The Hidden Mist Society is Konoha's greatest enemy.

He had some doubts before, but now he is very certain!

Meanwhile, approaching a hidden door, following the coded signals and hand gestures, they obtained more detailed information from the Hidden Leaf Village's ANBU.

Minato was not in much danger and continued to teach at the Ninja Academy.

In that case, let's observe the village while preparing to rescue Minato.
