Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 387 Konoha Year 56 and Watching the Show

So, without hesitation, the king of the Bird Kingdom knelt down.

Is it okay if I don't kneel?

Not to mention that Konoha Village already possesses fighter jets, which are capable of flying.

Previously, these small planes could only carry chakra cannons at most.

However, even the most powerful chakra cannon would take time to fly over, and it would definitely be slower than a rocket.

But what about now?

Look at the inhuman attitude of Konoha Village! They can send rockets to the moon so fast! Just thinking about using that stuff for weapons keeps the King of Bird Country up at night.

Outrageous!

If that were all, the king of the Bird Kingdom wouldn't have come to find Yuya immediately; he would have just continued to play the subservient role.

Since we've been pretending for so many years, what's there to be afraid of if we keep pretending?

then……

Then Yuya broadcasted a manned moon landing, and the person who landed on the moon was Minato Namikaze...

Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God technique was officially revealed to the world.

Oh, by the way, the Flying Thunder God Technique was created by Tobirama Senju, and he himself certainly used it.

Therefore, people in the ninja world are not unfamiliar with this ninjutsu.

However, no one would have thought that Minato Namikaze, an ordinary ninja, would actually be able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

It's worth noting that, according to an interview Minato Namikaze gave after his return, he was only 14 years old when he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. At that time, he wasn't yet married to Kushina.

It was just an accident that saved Kushina's life and he received a reward for it.

(That is, the incident involving Uchiha Setsuna. Of course, I can't go into the details, but I can give a general overview.)

However, this also demonstrates that Yua, even as a commoner ninja, can still be highly valued.

Of course, that's true.

With just rockets, the king of the Bird Kingdom could still play the fool.

However, if it were a combination of Rocket and Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, then the King of the Bird Country would be afraid.

He was afraid that one day this kind of combination technique would fly over to him.

The existence of airships cannot be kept secret. For one thing, the people of the two countries, Wind and Earth, definitely know about airships.

Rather than letting the local customs inform Youya, it's better to stand up and openly admit it while stating that you have no malicious intent.

It's even possible to exchange technology for support.

The king of the Bird Kingdom came this time to discuss this deal.

He didn't believe that Youya lacked the technology for airships. After all, Youya could send rockets to the moon, so why would they care about the technology of a mere airship?

Well, to be fair, if the King of the Bird Kingdom hadn't told Yuya about the airship technology, Yuya really wouldn't have approved the funding to build this thing.

To be honest, airships are pretty useless.

If it has a larger carrying capacity and can become an aerospace carrier, serving as a platform in the air, then its strategic value should be enormous.

But that's where the problem lies.

His load capacity is insufficient.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it can hold 20,000 people.

But that's assuming nothing else is involved.

Generally speaking, airships need fuel, and the weight of the fuel alone is not small.

Not to mention all the other miscellaneous things.

Especially as warfare gradually shifts towards information warfare, various electronic devices on airships are certainly indispensable.

This further reduces the load capacity.

Ultimately, it might only be able to carry two or three fighter jets at most. If the shells carried by the fighter jets are too heavy, it might not be able to carry even three.

Therefore, it doesn't really have much strategic significance.

Why would Yuya want such an airship?

Very simple.

If it's not suitable for military use, it can be converted for civilian use.

I wonder how many people dream of going to heaven.

Putting everything else aside, turning it into a tourist attraction would be enough to make money.

Of course, Yuya wanted to use the airship as an aerial transit station.

Simply put, it serves as a relay station between satellites and the ground.

To put it simply, this effect is so great that it can reduce latency by half.

The biggest fear in information warfare is delay; the situation a minute ago is definitely different from that a minute later.

You Ya understood this very well.

That's why he cares so much about the airship.

Well, it's only now.

Once internet speeds improve, the need for a relay station will become irrelevant.

It can only be said that the king of the Bird Kingdom is indeed lucky; his airship is still very valuable to Yuya.

He can fetch a good price.

In the end, the king of the Bird Kingdom and Yuya reached an agreement on the price.

Yuya sent the Bird Country ten chakra cannons, two hundred cannonballs, and three fighter jets.

Of course, there are also some trade exchanges.

The Bird Country does have some special products, and Yuya doesn't mind signing a trade agreement with them.

Although……

The King of the Bird Kingdom initially wanted Youya to send troops to garrison their territory.

However, this suggestion was naturally rejected by Youya with a speechless expression.

You really dare to ask me to send troops to your area?

Aren't you afraid I'll use this as an excuse to take your bird kingdom into my own pocket?

Yuya was helpless; the King of the Bird Kingdom was really too audacious to even bring up something like this.

He wasn't the president of the beautiful country from his previous life, and he had absolutely no interest in stationing troops in someone else's home.

Going there would only cause trouble for yourself, so why bother?

Of course, the King of the Bird Kingdom had no idea about Yuya's inner thoughts.

He was just a little disappointed; if Youya could agree to station troops there, their country's security would be guaranteed.

Unfortunately, You Ya did not agree.

……

The king of the Bird Kingdom came and went quickly.

However, after they left, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and the Third Kazekage, Chiyo, immediately called Yua.

What they most wanted to ask was, of course, whether Yua had actually cooperated with the Bird Country.

After learning the details, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Youya did not send anyone to interfere in the three-way dispute.

All three of them were very fortunate about this.

If Yua really sends people to garrison the Bird Country, it would undoubtedly be very bad news for them.

All their subsequent actions will need to take Youya into consideration.

Yes, their actions.

The reason why the Bird Country was in such a hurry to find Yua was because they had received some bad news.

He felt that the Kazekage and Tsuchikage, those two bastards, might be about to make a move against them.

Although it was indeed him who initially sent people in airships to provoke us, now that I've admitted my mistake, shouldn't you be showing the demeanor of a great power?!

How could you act like such a scoundrel?!

Don't doubt it, that's exactly what he thinks.

Of course, Yuya said he didn't care; Konoha could just watch the show from the sidelines.

Thus, in January of Konoha Year 56, the Earth, Bird, and Wind factions clashed in a three-way battle.

While a full-blown fight is unlikely, however...

The Bird Country wasn't that big to begin with.
