Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 79 The wool comes from the sheep

"money?"

Hinata Yu glanced at Minato, "How can we afford to gamble with Tsunade-senpai? With the frequency she loses, any extra money will be gone in the end."

Minato frowned, "So what is the money Tsunade-senpai is using now?"

Most of Konoha's current funds are used to compensate the dead in battle. Except for the initial gambling money that Tsunade took from him, Hinata Yu never looked for him again.

He had thought that Hinata Yu paid for it out of his own pocket, so he asked, isn't that right?

Hinata Yu explained, “There are only so many casinos in Konoha, and Senior Tsunade basically only knows how to lose, so I sent someone to talk to their boss.

In the future, whenever Senior Tsunade goes, they can spread the word and the guards will turn a blind eye. All they have to do is return the money Tsunade lost.

Senior Tsunade's current gambling money... is the initial part."

Minato stared at Hinata Yu in silence.

Can you do this?

Tsunade has lived in Konoha since she was a child and was taken to the casino by the first Hokage. Konoha casinos and gamblers know this "big fat sheep" best.

Basically, you lose every time you gamble.

If Tsunade entered a casino, and the casino promoted it, how many people would rush in? Who wouldn't want to gamble with Tsunade, the big fat sheep?

Once a gambler enters a casino, it is not easy to get out. Even if they don't have the chance to gamble with Tsunade, they will be itching to gamble just by watching from the side.

So once Tsunade enters the casino, the casino will not lose money even if it returns her money.

The wool comes from the sheep?
It is indeed impossible to have no money.

Minato: "It's best to keep this a secret. It will be troublesome if Senior Tsunade finds out. How did you get Fugaku to agree? He probably won't agree to such a thing."

"Gamblers are one of the main groups causing trouble. They gather in casinos. If a dispute occurs, the security team can arrest people. It is better than them gambling in private and causing problems. The casino owners are also very sensible and cooperative. Chief Fugaku agreed reluctantly."

Hinata Yu spread his hands, "That's it."

Watergate:"……"

So the only victims are the gamblers who are attracted to it?
Doesn't seem to deserve sympathy...

Minato shook his head in amusement, "It seems that it is just right to let you handle the financial issues."

Hearing this, Hinata Yu looked at the buildings of Konoha Village from the window and asked, "Do you want someone to restrict you?"

"Ah."

It's not surprising that Hinata saw it, and Minato's smile faded, "I'm worried that one day I will make a wrong decision, and no one else can stop me. Maybe only you can..."

"Neither can your wife?"

Minato was stunned, then smiled and said, "She can, but Kushina won't say anything about big things."

"That means you have to listen to her on small matters." Hinata Yu leaned against the window, glanced down, and smiled, "She's here to see you."

"Uh……"

Following Hinata Yu's gaze, Minato only saw a flash of flowing red hair, and soon, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Then, the sound of the door opening and a gentle but chilling voice sounded, "Minato, can you come home for lunch normally today?"

"Okay." Minato glanced at the documents in the office and felt that the amount today was a lot less, so he smiled and nodded.

Seeing that he agreed, Kushina's expression obviously improved a lot. She turned her gaze to Hinata Yu and said with a smile:
"Yu, come along too, thank you for your help." "This is my job." Hinata Yu shook his head and asked as the two of them left, "Where are the pills?"

"Eh?" Kushina blinked and looked towards the training ground guiltily. She felt like she had forgotten something when she came here just now. It turned out to be the pill.

It doesn’t feel good to go back now… I’ll thank you later.

……

Uchiha Yamaru stood indifferently in the training ground, lost in thought.

He went to find Tsunade in order to avoid being used as a punching bag during training. Although Tsunade did not go in the end, Yu went to help deal with the affairs.

Shouldn't it be his training time now?

Why did Kushina-sama leave after she found out?
This is worse than being used as a punching bag!
He sighed helplessly, his eyes turned into pentagram shapes, and he tried the pupil technique.

Except for the pupil technique with a very long cooling time, the other pupil technique does not have such great limitations, so you can try to master it first.

……

The three of them had a sumptuous lunch. After finishing, while cleaning up the dishes, Kushina whispered:
"No matter how much work a Hokage has to do, you shouldn't work so hard. If you get exhausted, wouldn't it be more trouble than it's worth?"

Minato sat aside, glanced at Hinata Yu's indifferent expression, and listened quietly with some helplessness.

When Kushina went to wash the dishes, he looked at Hinata Yu and changed the subject as if nothing had happened, "Is this your first time coming to my house?"

"Yeah." Hinata Yu nodded slightly and looked around the room. "It's decorated very simply, but it has a warm feeling."

Minato smiled, "Maybe it's because there's more than one person in the room, but it still feels a little empty with only two of us."

There are only two of us...

Hinata Yu glanced at Kushina and didn't continue the topic, "How is the Sunagakure side? Has the visiting card been sent over?"

“It has not been sent out.”

Minato coughed lightly and his face became serious, "The Daimyo of Wind Country has already submitted a visiting card in advance, wanting to visit the Daimyo of Fire Country. On our side, the Kazekage should come in person, so you may not have to go to the Sand Village."

Hinata Yu thought thoughtfully, "It seems that this war has indeed scared this ally."

It has been a while since the war ended, and all the countries in the ninja world have probably received detailed intelligence about the war. It is not surprising that Sunagakure, Konoha's former ally, would try to get close to them.

Minato sighed, "This way, it will be much easier to achieve the desired effect."

After Kushina finished cleaning up, she heard the two of them talking about business again and sighed helplessly, "Do you need me to get out of the way?"

"It's nothing important." Minato smiled, "Just to discuss whether the Five Kage Tournament in the Rain Country can proceed smoothly."

Hearing this, Kushina also became a little curious and took the initiative to join the topic, "Why should the Five Kage Tournament be held in the Rain Country? A neutral country like the Iron Country or the Demon Country would be better."

"It has to do with something that Jiraiya-sensei told me."

Minato smiled with memories in his eyes, "Before me, Jiraiya-sensei actually had three other disciples, all from the Land of Rain."

"I did some research. They founded an organization called Akatsuki. They hope that there will be no more wars among the ninja countries and that they can bring peace through mutual understanding. I heard that they are very active in the Rain Country."

"...A bit naive." Kushina's expression was complicated, "But it's amazing that they have persisted all these years."

"They did hold on." Minato had a look of emotion on his face, "but without the support of the Rain Village and the Rain Country's top leaders, they are almost at their limit."

"I think that the current me and the current Konoha can do something."
