Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

He knew that this struggle against the Hokage had already failed before it even began.

"Since none of you have any objections, then this matter is settled. Also, I plan to provide the guard department with some weapons; you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"No, no, no!"

At this moment, all these clan elders wanted was to get rid of Bofeng Future as soon as possible.

The head is the same as a pile driver.

"A wise response."

Namikaze Mirai has left.

From the moment he entered until he left, less than a minute had passed, and the group of clan elders found their backs soaked with sweat, their hands and feet ice-cold, and they collapsed to the ground as if utterly exhausted.

"That was terrifying! I almost thought I was going to die!"

"Is this the Fifth Hokage's authority?"

……

In the training ground, a group of Hyuga branch family members huddled together, staring at the metal Truth placed in the center, their pure white eyes filled with astonishment.

"what is this?"

"gun!"

Hyuga Hizashi's words were resounding.

Long ago, the Hidden Cloud Village pressured the Hyuga clan on the grounds of the death of their envoy, but Mirai Namikaze intervened and saved him.

He was filled with gratitude for Namikaze Mirai.

This distribution of firearms was also personally designated by Namikaze Mirai to be in charge of.

"gun?"

The Hyuga branch family members around them looked at each other in bewilderment. What was a gun?

The Hyuga clan, being so isolated, has never passed down anything related to guns.

Can such a small metal tube really be used as a weapon?

In an instant, doubts spread.

Hyuga Hizashi picked up a metal sniper rifle, braced his shoulder against the stock, and instantly bulged out worm-like veins around his eyes.

In the gray world, the target position is clearly visible one kilometer away.

boom!

Hyuga Hizashi pulled the trigger.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the many members of the branch family around, a blue light flashed from the muzzle of the gun.

A hole was clearly visible in the center of the target position, which was one kilometer away!

"That's amazing!"

"If we have this, why bother learning Soft Fist?"

"So this is the real purpose of the eye roll!"

The Hyuga branch family members watching trembled with excitement, their hearts filled with intense shock.

A few kilometers away, someone opens their eyes and sets up a sniper rifle.

Long-range attacks plus full map vision, is that much less effective than Gentle Fist?

"By the way, the Caged Bird Seal has a limited range of effectiveness, right?"

It is unknown which member of the branch family spoke first.

The air in the entire training ground instantly turned cold.

An eerie silence spread out from among them.

Hyuga Hizashi noticed the change in the atmosphere around him, put the sniper rifle back in its place, turned his head, and scanned the surrounding branch families with a solemn look.

"Let's not talk about this again!"

Such remarks are extremely dangerous!

The Caged Bird Seal has two triggering methods. One is that when the white eye is taken away, the seal will activate on its own, damaging the eyeball and optic nerve.

The second method is for the main family to punish the branch family members through handprints, or... directly kill them.

As the head of the main family, I enjoy the pleasure of tormenting the branch families, like tormenting a mouse.

The surrounding Hyuga branch families had all been tortured to varying degrees, or had witnessed their clansmen being tortured.

If we possessed such a weapon, wouldn't we be able to... catch the main family before they could activate the Caged Bird Seal?

In an instant, a fiery glint appeared in the eyes of many of the branch families as they looked at the guns.

Hyuga Hizashi watched this scene in silence.

Once this thought arises, it can never disappear.

As someone who had branched out of the family, he was also well aware of the group's yearning for freedom.

In the future, I will personally spread the flame of revolution!

Chapter 108 Payne Needs to Carry Rice

The situation in the Land of Rain is not good.

The hybrid rice developed in Konoha sparked a revolution in the food industry.

This was originally a good thing.

The problem is that too many grain merchants are flocking to the Land of Fire, hoping to get a share of this agricultural revolution.

The influx of grain merchants into the Land of Fire led to the loss of grain merchants from other countries.

The original grain industry was brought to a standstill, and industries related to grain transportation also slowed down significantly.

Because of the constant rain, the Land of Rain cannot grow rice, and its food is almost entirely imported.

Now that grain merchants are flocking to the Land of Fire, who has time to export grain to them?

Food prices in the Land of Rain skyrocketed to an alarming level.

These actions nearly caused the rice market in the Land of Rain to collapse.

For many of the poorer citizens of the Rain Country, being able to eat a bowl of hot rice has become a luxury.

Fights over rice, sometimes escalating into bloodshed, are becoming increasingly common.

It's not that people eat rice, but that rice eats people.

The top of a tall building.

Pain, clad in a black robe with red clouds, was gazing at the city in the rain.

Chaos, bloodshed, and evil... are rising from this country.

"Konan, do you see this? This is the disaster brought by Konoha."

Xiao Nan, who was standing behind, remained silent.

The food revolution sparked by Konoha is having a huge impact on the existing agricultural model.

The Land of Rain was the country most affected by the impact.

This country, plagued by constant war and reliant on imports for all its food, has an extremely fragile domestic rice market.

So fragile that it simply cannot withstand such an impact.

"Nagato, what do you plan to do?"

"Konoha needs a trial."

Pain's purple Rinnegan, like ripples, seemed to look down on everything.

Only by judging Konoha can Konoha feel the same pain.

Only then can the world understand the suffering of the Land of Rain.

Only by experiencing suffering can one truly appreciate the hard-won peace.

"Nagato, Konoha is very strong right now. If we act rashly without preparation..."

Konan is worried about Nagato's choice.

The Fifth Hokage of Konoha was a very powerful ninja.

I heard that under his reforms, Konoha's strength has increased significantly.

She didn't want Nagato to be in danger because of this.

"Don't worry, Konan, now is not the time to attack Konoha."

Nagato seemed to have guessed her concerns and spoke in a gentle voice.
