Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

The reason these small countries' ninja villages are standing by and watching is because no one is willing to be the first to take the lead.

The rewards of a coup are very high, but the cost is also very high.

If they fail, they will not only lose the support of the daimyo and nobles, but will also be strangled by the four-nation alliance.

For a small country like them, both the Four Nations Alliance and the Republic of Fire could easily crush them like an insect.

Maintaining the status quo and observing how things develop is the most advantageous option for them.

"Which country do you plan to choose as the leader in the future?"

Orochimaru looked curious.

If the leader of this first coup is not handled properly, it could have negative consequences.

Therefore, making the right choice is very important.

Namikaze Mirai rested her hand on the Hokage's desk, carefully examining the map of the ninja world spread out on it. After searching for a while, her gaze settled on a small country in the northern part of the Land of Fire.

Orochimaru also noticed that Mirai Namikaze's gaze lingered on him.

He looked surprised.

"In the future, which country would you like to choose?"

The country that Namikaze Mirai chose was not unfamiliar to him.

In fact, one could say they are quite familiar with it.

The country of fields!

A small country located north of the Land of Fire, situated between the Land of Iron and the Land of Hot Water.

Orochimaru had already made arrangements in the land of fields long ago.

Following the expected trajectory, after defecting from Akatsuki, he planned to establish a ninja village within the Land of Rice Fields.

However, thanks to Mirai Namikaze's recruitment, he eventually returned to Konoha.

"The Land of Fields is weak and borders Konoha. The neighboring Land of Iron is a neutral country that does not participate in the ninja world's affairs."

"Moreover, the Land of Rice mainly produces rice. After being incorporated into the Land of Rice, it can serve as a base for hybrid rice experimental fields, which will also greatly benefit the development of Konoha."

Upon hearing Namikaze Mirai's explanation, Orochimaru immediately understood his thoughts.

“Indeed, although the Land of Rice Fields is a small country, the daimyo and nobles are corrupt, and the people live in misery. Starting with the Land of Rice Fields is indeed the best choice, but…”

Orochimaru looked somewhat troubled.

"If I remember correctly, there won't be any ninja villages within the Land of Rice Fields in the future, right?"

This is the most awkward part.

The Land of Rice Fields is too small; it's so small that it doesn't even have a permanent ninja village.

It would be quite difficult for a country like this to stage a scene of a ninja village killing a daimyo.

"Orochimaru, you must have made arrangements within the Land of Rice Fields, right?"

Namikaze Mirai laughed.

Orochimaru's face instantly turned awkward.

"I can't hide it from you, it's the future."

He did indeed have arrangements within the Land of Rice Fields; his initial plan was to establish a new ninja village as a base.

However, he later returned to Konoha and gave up.

"Your previous arrangements can come in handy now. Just announce to the outside world that the ninja village of the Land of Rice Fields is dissatisfied with the daimyo's withholding of funds, has risen up in rebellion, and has overthrown the daimyo's rule."

"What do you think, Orochimaru?"

Namikaze Mirai looked at Orochimaru, awaiting his reply.

"Is that so?" Orochimaru pondered for a moment. "The Land of Fields is a small country with a closed geographical location and rarely interacts with other countries. If handled properly, there shouldn't be any problems."

Bofeng's future plans are perfect.

The Land of Fields is a small, isolated country with virtually no presence on the international stage.

Its geographical location bordering the Republic of Fire allows Konoha to penetrate more easily.

The neighboring Iron Country is a neutral country and rarely gets involved in international disputes.

These advantages were enough for them to make arrangements in secret.

Once news of the coup in the Land of Rice Fields spreads, it will undoubtedly give a strong boost to those ninja villages that are wavering in their resolve.

With a start, the rest is easy.

"Orochimaru, I'm leaving the task of orchestrating the coup in the ninja village of the Land of Rice Fields to you. What name do you plan to give that ninja village?"

"Name?"

Orochimaru gave a meaningful smile.

"Let's call it Otogakure (Hidden Sound Village)!"

Chapter 143 Naruto's Babysitter, Number Eighteen!

"Otogakure Village? That's a nice name."

Namikaze Mirai is very satisfied with this name.

Using sound as the name of the ninja village is in line with the characteristics of the Land of Fields as a closed and small country.

Once the Hidden Sound Village kills the daimyo and seizes power in the Land of Rice Fields, it can then be incorporated into the Fire Federation.

As the first small country to stage a coup, it will inevitably have a huge impact on other countries.

Perhaps the current stalemate in the ninja world will change.

If it were simply a matter of making those small countries submit, there would be no need to go through such a complicated process.

His goal was to gradually eliminate the feudal daimyo and aristocratic class from the ninja world.

Orochimaru felt a mix of emotions.

The initial plan to establish Otogakure (Hidden Sound Village) was not for something as trivial as killing daimyo.

At that time, he had absolutely no interest in seizing power in a coup.

Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, he still founded the Hidden Sound Village, and for this very purpose.

But wouldn't a village like this be more valuable?

Both the Land of Rice Fields and the Hidden Sound Village should feel honored to be able to usher in a new era of change in the ninja world.

"Orochimaru, I'm leaving this matter to you."

Namikaze Mirai issued the order.

Orochimaru is the most suitable candidate.

"Don't worry! In the near future, the situation in the ninja world will change."

Orochimaru is gone.

A hopeful smile graced his face.

Namikaze Mirai watched his retreating figure.

With Orochimaru's abilities, doing this would not be difficult.

Now, we just have to wait for his good news.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

Smile.

"I almost forgot, today is Naruto's birthday. I've prepared a gift for him."

He had been preparing this gift for a long time.

Naruto will be overjoyed when he sees this.

……

The mansion of the Water Gate.

"Boring! So boring!"

Naruto straddled Sasuke, his right hand pressing down on Sasuke's arm, his left hand supporting his chin, looking utterly bored.

"Sasuke, couldn't you have held on for a few more seconds? You've only been down for less than five seconds."

"Damn it! Naruto, don't get too cocky. I learned a new ninjutsu from my brother, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet, otherwise you wouldn't..."

Before Sasuke could finish speaking, the pressure on his body suddenly eased.

Naruto released his arm.

"Since you've put it that way, I'll give you another chance!"

"You're too arrogant! Naruto, use the Shadow Clone Technique!"
