Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

After all, the crispy fried chicken here is just too tempting. He just ate a total of 32 small fried chickens, and the iced cola with the fried chicken is simply a perfect match.

Konoha is really generous this time, providing unlimited food, and all of it is so delicious.

The Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Mist Village originally intended to cause trouble for the Hidden Leaf Village, but they were so full that their minds were a little foggy.

There was no other way; these villages all valued forbearance, so you can imagine how poor their daily diet was—the food was simply terrible.

This is the first time I've ever eaten something so delicious that my fighting spirit is almost completely worn down by the food.

Apart from Kirigakure, whose situation is slightly better, Iwagakure and Kumogakure usually eat simple meals to save money.

The ninjas were basically eating bland, watery food. They had originally intended to cause trouble for Konoha, but after eating so much, they felt too weak to even speak.

After Hiruko signaled to the leader of the Grass Country, the leader immediately began to hurl insults at the daimyo of the Grass Country.

He didn't even glance at the delicacies before him, but instead poured out his grievances to the ninjas.

They called those big names parasites and vampires.

That's right!

Chapter 114 Tsunade's Rope

Hiruko immediately launched into a grievance session.

Seeing that the leader of the Land of Grass had received a hint, the representatives of the surrounding small ninja villages also began to curse their own daimyo.

Of course, cursing the daimyo was not the main purpose; the main purpose was to express grievances, to awaken the discontent in the hearts of the ninjas, and to rouse their sense of resistance.

Why are ninjas so powerful, yet they can't be the masters of the country?

What's so great about a famous name?

Do they know ninjutsu?

Or does it possess a powerful bloodline limit?

This is a taboo subject under normal circumstances, and no one would dare to say it, since it involves the relationship between the ninja village and the country.

This so-called banquet was not just a simple meal and drink. Even though everyone knew that the famous man usually lived a life of luxury, they would not normally say it.

But all those who came to the Five Kage Summit this time were ninjas; there were no ordinary people present.

Under the influence of alcohol, some words that had been bottled up inside were naturally blurted out.

The leader of the Grass Country spoke first, and everyone felt that it was okay to speak at this time, so they all echoed him.

After all, who would dare to tattle in such a situation?

It's perfectly normal for people to drink and chat.

The representative from the Land of Grass complained for a long time, and the representative from the Sand Village also started talking about spending money.

The Land of Wind cut off the Sand Village's funding. The Sand Village representative initially intended to be patient, but eventually couldn't hold back and started cursing.

Huang Tu from Iwagakure Village, recalling his past experiences, couldn't help but slap the table.

As for Killer Bee of Kumogakure, he simply crushed the table in front of him and had it replaced with a new one.

Killer Bee said angrily, "Those guys clearly agreed that all deliveries would be at a fixed price. This rule has been in place for years, and they've never been cheated."

"It's just that we suffered a defeat, and they told us they wouldn't send us off anymore and would send someone else instead."

"We want to keep them, we want to continue working together. We've already lowered the commission to a very low level, what more do they want?"

“There was this important person who specifically asked me to personally escort a dog to a certain place, and even said that the price was not bad.”

"Those dogs were incredibly ugly. One of them looked like the daimyo of the Land of Earth, and the other looked like the daimyo's wife. That dog even peed on me!"

"They insist on sending a Kage-level figure from the village to carry out this mission. Even though the pay is high, it's just too insulting!"

In a daze, everyone started complaining.

As he spoke, Killer Bee forgot his original attitude towards Hiruko and kept complaining about the humiliations he had suffered after the defeat.

He didn't know if it was the alcohol or he was just drunk; he just kept venting his frustrations.

The crowd complained until the sun set.

At this moment, Hiruko suddenly withdrew and said, "Alright, everyone has eaten enough. Let's talk about the Land of Grass."

Since this is the first meeting, we should stop here and not speak too much with someone we don't know well.

For Hiruko, as long as someone complains and stirs up everyone's emotions, the goal is achieved.

For others, the sudden shift from relaxed venting to serious topics is unpleasant and unforgettable.

Everyone's started letting their guard down and making fun of each other, so why are you suddenly getting down to business?

However, all of these opportunities were carefully created by Hiryu-kō.

Minato Namikaze was more like a mascot in this meeting, and everyone perked up and carefully examined what Hiruko wanted to say.

Hiruko has always hoped that the ninjas could unite and create an unprecedented ninja community.

But he knew in his heart that this was by no means an easy task.

Putting everything else aside, given the current relationship between Kumogakure and Konoha, Kumogakure will absolutely oppose whatever Konoha wants to do.

So what if it benefits the entire ninja world in their eyes? What does it have to do with me? I'm going to oppose it anyway.

With relations between the two sides so bad, it is almost impossible to cooperate on anything.

However, Hiruko was well-versed in the tactic of giving a slap followed by a sweet treat. He believed that as long as these ninjas tasted the sweetness, there would be no vicious dogs that he couldn't win over.

This grievance session is very necessary, using the grand narrative of the ninja world to divert the ninjas' grudges from each other.

Humans in the ninja world are so strange. Looking at the delicious food in front of them, they think about how nobles can enjoy it every day, and they might even throw away a fried chicken after eating one.

Everyone was filled with resentment, but they dared not confront the daimyo directly.

Having done that, and after slightly stirring up everyone's emotions and planting a seed of cooperation in their hearts, Hiruko decided to get down to business.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. As long as these ninjas control the economy, they can manage both military and political affairs.

He wanted to see if these ninjas were truly bound slaves, utterly devoid of any spirit.

Soon, people began to pay attention to the giant chamber of commerce that Biluhu had established, which spanned five major countries.

Once the key personnel were in place, the meeting officially began.

"Thank you all for coming from afar." Hiruko stood before the main seat, his voice calm yet powerful.

"After the Fourth Shinobi World War, our five great nations ushered in a rare period of peace, but peace needs to be maintained and needs common interests as a bond."

Killer Bee suddenly interrupted him: "Hey, stop with the nonsense, just tell me what you want to do? Rap~"

Hiruko didn't take it to heart, and his smile widened even more: "Kirabi is quick-witted and outspoken."

"Then I'll be frank—I propose the establishment of the Ninja World United Commerce Association, jointly managed by the five great nations, to unify and coordinate trade among nations and share resources and technology."

The room erupted in an uproar.

"absurd!"

Killer Bee slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly: "Kumogakure will never accept such constraints! We have our own trade routes; we don't need to share them with others! Yeah~"

The representative from Sunagakure immediately retorted: "Lord Killer Bee's alliance with the merchant guild is extremely beneficial to the development of small countries, as it can reduce conflicts caused by competition for resources."

"Our village of Sunagakure fully supports Konoha's proposal."

Huang Tu and Mei Terumi exchanged a glance, and Huang Tu slowly spoke: "Iwagakure needs more details before making a decision. How exactly will this trading company operate?"

Before Hiruko could answer, Killer Bee interrupted again: "Details? There's no need to discuss them! Kumogakure refuses to participate, it's that simple! Drop the mic~"

The atmosphere in the room immediately became tense.

Hiruko took a deep breath, a barely perceptible glint in his eyes.

“Kirabi!” His voice remained steady.

"The Chamber of Commerce is not about depriving countries of their autonomy, but about establishing a mutually beneficial platform."

"For example, metal ores from Kumogakure can be exchanged for rare medicinal herbs from Sunagakure, and seafood from Kirigakure can be..."

"Enough!" Killer Bee waved his hand impatiently.

"Kumakuya doesn't do business at a loss. Who knows if this is a tactic used by Konoha to control other villages?"

The representative from Sunagakure slammed his fist on the table in anger and shouted, "You are insulting Konoha's sincerity!"

"Since the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Konoha has always been committed to peace in the shinobi world, and our Sunagakure village can attest to that!"

Mei Terumi gracefully raised her hand, signaling everyone to remain calm, and said softly, "Everyone, arguing won't solve anything."

"Lord Hiruko, I understand your good intentions in making this proposal, but Kirigakure must ensure that our trade with the Land of Water is not adversely affected as a result."

Hiruko nodded slightly and replied, "That's natural."

"The Chamber of Commerce will set up regional branches, and the existing trade relations between countries will be preserved. It will simply add a channel for cross-border cooperation for everyone."

Huang Tu seemed to be deep in thought before slowly speaking: "If we can truly achieve resource complementarity, it will indeed greatly help improve the lives of the people in Yan Yin Village..."

"You've all been fooled by Konoha's illusions!" Killer Bee suddenly stood up, knocking his chair over with a loud crash.

"Konoha wants to control the entire ninja world through economic means! Kumogakure will never fall for that! Peace out~"

After saying that, he turned to leave.

However, Hiruko's voice suddenly turned cold: "Kirabi, are you sure you want to just leave like this?"

Killer Bee turned around, his eyes full of provocation, and asked loudly, "What? Does Konoha intend to forcibly detain them?"

Hiruko gently shook his head and said, "No, I just think you should take a look at this first."

As he spoke, he slowly took out a scroll from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table.

The scroll seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, automatically unfurling to reveal a detailed map and several documents.

"What the hell is this thing?" Killer Bee frowned, looking puzzled.

"This is a map showing the troop deployment of Kumogakure on the border of the Land of Lightning over the past three months."

Hiruko's voice remained calm, but every word struck the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.

"Furthermore, there are the secret military alliance agreements that your village has signed with several small ninja villages."
