The brightly lit mansion was much more lively than the outside.
Minato Namikaze raised his glass and declared boldly, "To a brighter tomorrow! Cheers!"
At this moment, he had completely lost his usual refined, easy-going, and warm-hearted demeanor.
"Cheers!" the guests responded enthusiastically.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the banquet was already very lively, with toasts being exchanged and drinks being consumed freely.
Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, everyone was filled with longing for a bright future.
After tonight, the Land of Fire, Loulan, the Land of Snow, the Land of Demons, the Land of Grass, and other countries reached a close and secret community agreement.
Konoha, based on international recognition and adhering to the principle of peaceful coexistence, is committed to economic development.
It will not only establish a Konoha branch in the area, but also found a high school to promote the Will of Fire of Konoha and cultivate various talents for the local area.
At the same time, Konoha will dispatch elite troops to protect its allies from military oppression by other countries.
Take the Land of Snow as an example. It is located near the polar regions, and spends most of the year in icy and snowy weather.
The warm climate is extremely rare, and it is quite similar to the climate conditions in Russia at that time.
Therefore, local crop growth and per capita GDP are greatly affected by the weather.
However, the Land of Snow has surpassed other countries in the ninja world in the development and application of chakra technology.
Based on the principle of mutual benefit, the Land of Fire will supply the Land of Snow with various daily necessities at preferential prices for a long time, which will inevitably include various food crops.
Furthermore, the Land of Fire will provide free assistance to the Land of Snow in building roads, manufacturing various convenient means of transportation, and constructing a sound transportation network.
Of course, the unique products from the Land of Snow must also be sold to Konoha.
At that time, countless trains will be transporting goods.
The operation was assisted by personnel from the Konoha Transportation Department.
In the future, Konoha will only take 20% of the profits from this transportation network as operating fees, and the rest of the profits will be distributed among the locals of the Land of Snow.
Meanwhile, the Land of Snow needs to continue to vigorously develop heavy industry and chakra technology, share all technologies with Konoha, and prioritize selling all precious resources to the Land of Fire.
At the same time, while developing its own industry, the Land of Snow allowed merchants from Konoha to invest and build factories locally.
The project involves building various factories covering industries such as energy, steel, machinery, chemicals, and military.
In addition, the unique Tian Shan snow lotus from the Land of Snow also needs to be offered as tribute to Konoha.
However, these factories must prioritize hiring local workers from the Land of Snow, creating more job opportunities and wealth for the people of the Land of Snow.
In the future, the Land of Snow will provide continuous support to Konoha.
Putting aside everything else, we must at least secure more than 30% of Konoha's arms supply.
Of course, the weapons mentioned here are not the usual ninja equipment such as kunai, shuriken, and explosive tags.
Instead, it refers to firearms, such as guns and ammunition, as well as RPGs, tanks, submarines, airships, and a large number of military equipment.
Unlike Hiruko's previous intention to limit the production of medicines to a small quantity, this time, with Hiruko's permission, Konoha will build a large number of mass-produced military factories in the Land of Snow.
Completely liberalize arms manufacturing and implement statistical management.
Of course, the Daimyo of the Land of Snow, Fuuka Hayaru, hadn't considered things that far ahead, nor did he expect Konoha to have so many plans.
He listened to these plans and felt that they would be beneficial to improving people's livelihoods and would allow everyone to have enough to eat and wear, so he happily agreed.
He failed to realize the harm that imperialism or monopoly capitalism posed to a country that should have been independent and to the vast majority of its people.
From the moment he agreed, the future of the Land of Snow was either assimilation into Konoha or becoming a colony of the Land of Fire.
They were exploited to the bone and drained of their marrow, even to the point of being completely emptied out, becoming waste.
Hirukov would allow this capital to grow unchecked, which was one of his original plans.
How can the people of the ninja world know the beauty of universal harmony without experiencing the cruelty of capitalism?
Compared to the snow country with its developed heavy industry, Loulan's military presence is more unique.
Loulan is surrounded by desert, with some oases scattered among them.
The people of Loulan lived and thrived here with great difficulty.
Throughout history, the Loulan royal family has hoped to harness the power of the earth's dragon veins to bring happiness to the people and create prosperity for Loulan.
However, after the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, sealed the power of the Dragon Vein, this country, which relied heavily on the power of the Dragon Vein, began to decline and was on the verge of extinction.
Decades later, during the Naruto Shippuden era, Loulan had vanished into history, leaving only ruins for posterity to remember.
Meanwhile, the royal bloodline of Loulan became ordinary herders in the desert, barely able to support themselves.
Konoha, one of the five great nations, also has plans in this vast desert.
Konoha's deployment of troops to Loulan is tantamount to driving a nail into the Land of Wind.
Of course, Konoha will also support Loulan's economic development and infrastructure construction, creating a transportation network suitable for local characteristics.
They will establish schools to impart knowledge and will send a large number of Konoha ninjas to Loulan in the future.
only.

The people of Loulan must bear all the costs themselves.
As time went on, Hiruko's reform plans were pushed forward at an increasingly rapid pace.
Wood Release is fundamentally different from the ordinary Five Elements; it truly contains life force.
The practitioner can transform chakra into the language of life, thereby accelerating and precisely controlling the growth of plants.
In other words, the plants that are created through Wood Release actually exist in the world.
The plants created by Wood Release are illusory, appearing out of nothing. However, as long as they are not destroyed by external forces and have enough chakra, these illusory plants can continue to function.
However, Hiruko also developed a method to utilize the plant sea buckthorn.
By then, Loulan will be able to continuously produce this plant with sea buckthorn fruit, and turn it into flavored beverages to sell throughout the country.
Moreover, the plants planted by the Wood Release ninjas not only help Loulan prevent wind erosion and stabilize sand dunes, but the participation of the Leaf Village ninjas in planting them can also improve the land conditions of the desert and play a role in controlling and fixing shifting sand.
I believe that as long as we combine scientific methods with the persistent efforts of the Konoha ninjas, we will definitely be able to complete the desert greening project in Loulan in the future.
Let Loulan become the most dazzling pearl in the desert.
Subsequently, by continuously attracting ninjas from the Land of Wind, Konoha could use Loulan as a springboard to extend its influence to the desert nations and engage in trade and other collaborations with them.
They could even bypass the upper echelons of the Wind Kingdom and shake the beliefs of the common people.
Of course, Hiruko's plans for Loulan were not merely aimed at enabling Konoha to better invade or conquer the desert kingdoms in the future.
He values the power of the dragon vein more.
Dragon veins contain immense vitality and limitless possibilities; they possess enormous energy capable of breaking through the barriers of space and time.
Whether used as a power bank for yourself or for time travel, it's an excellent choice.
Moreover, Biluhu felt that he could also use Loulan as a springboard to travel to other times and spaces to conquer other worlds and obtain what he wanted.
If he could manipulate time in parallel universes that traverse the Naruto world, he would have countless days of golden eclipses to alter the environment, and specific environmental and time restrictions could be completely lifted.
He might even be able to go to the future Boruto era and get a free pass on Orochimaru's improved technology and various advanced technologies.
He could even use his parallel world self as a special experimental subject to perfect the Ghost Sprout Technique, and undergo a transformation after completing a series of experiments in the parallel world.
Everyone was very happy at Minato Namikaze's family dinner, and the atmosphere was as harmonious as a painting.
The Queen of Loulan, in particular, was holding Naruto Uzumaki, the young master of the Hokage, in her arms, her lips curled up in a smile, looking very pleased.
Perhaps because she had been drinking, her face was flushed with a faint blush, making her look exceptionally alluring.
Minato Namikaze didn't think anything was wrong, simply assuming it was because his son was charming and had a strong affinity for people.
Kushina Uzumaki felt uneasy all over, with a vague feeling that her son was about to be taken away.
Just like a woman that a mother-in-law dislikes at first sight often becomes her son's wife later in life.
However, given the importance of this banquet, she had to endure it for the time being.
Sara looked at Naruto as if she had found something precious, not as if she were looking at an ordinary child.
Fortunately, the banquet didn't last too long, ending around 10 p.m.
Everyone went back to rest, satisfied.
Although Jiraiya was very interested in Miroku, the priestess of the Land of Demons, he couldn't just barge into her room in the middle of the night, so he could only wait until the next day to visit her.
Two days later, the daimyo of the Land of Snow had already returned to his country, and the priestess of the Land of Demons had also quietly disappeared.
Even though Queen Sarah of Loulan was extremely reluctant, she had no choice but to return to that sea of sand.
There lie her people and vast mountains and rivers; she needs to protect them.
The daimyo of the Grass Country also went back.
Konoha also received sufficient support from the Land of Grass and began to lay out its logistics network there.
Everything is progressing according to Hiruko's vision.
The Land of Fire has a very developed transportation system, and Konoha has conducted a thorough search of the entire country, leaving virtually no hidden dangers.
Furthermore, Konoha dispatched most of its ninjas to guard various regions, set up checkpoints on highways, and protect transportation hubs such as train stations and subway stations, making domestic escort missions increasingly rare.
However, logistics and shipping tasks are becoming more and more frequent.
Konoha did not experience financial problems due to the reduction in escort missions; on the contrary, it amassed unimaginable wealth by monopolizing domestic transportation.
Moreover, Konoha doesn't only take on missions from its own country; every year, a considerable number of foreign clients are attracted by Konoha's reputation.
Overall, the transportation sector, a state-owned enterprise encompassing functions such as road traffic, logistics, railway operation, and platform security, has absorbed a large number of surplus laborers.
The borders always require heavy guards and patrols, and there are also some foreign missions that need to be completed by Konoha ninjas. Even so, the number of ninjas is still somewhat insufficient.
Of course, as the village becomes wealthier, the lives of some ninjas also improve, but this does not mean that all ninjas will become particularly rich.
Therefore, Hiruko expanded the scope of business for the Konoha ninjas, bringing them more opportunities.
Even old fogies like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Koharu Utatane had to admit that the reforms of Hiruko and Minato Namikaze had brought immeasurable benefits to Konoha.
