Haruki and the Third Kazekage planted a seedling in the sand together, marking the official end of the groundbreaking ceremony.
The surrounding sand ninjas suddenly burst into warm applause.
They have been staying in Sunagakure Village for almost a month.
What Haruki does every day is to take Tsunade with him and guide him around the newly established departments, such as the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Environment, and the Ministry of Electric Power.
And today is the first day of the Ministry of Environment's afforestation program.
Haruki remembered the groundbreaking ceremony in his previous life, so he suggested that the Third Kazekage plant the first sapling himself.
The Third Kazekage invited him along for the purpose of wining over and thanking him.
Qingshu didn't shirk either.
It stands to reason that if a tree planting task is left to him, a ninja who knows wood escape, the time will be greatly reduced.
But there is no need for Haruki to expose himself, and on the other hand, it can also give civilians who have lost their livelihood due to the war a job.
Just like the railway tunnel, his earth escape is also a natural fit.
However, Qingshu was not in a hurry.
Things like fruits take time.
Currently I am making money from alluvial gold.
But something as important as placer gold must not be transported by railway.
He planned to use the Flying Thunder God technique to transport it, or let Sunagakure Village control the sand and transport it by air.
Haruki casually threw the shovel to the Sand Ninja beside him.
The young Suna ninja took it with a look of reverence on his face, without any trace of the hatred he felt when he first came here.
Not just him, every Suna ninja who came into contact with Haruki had a 180-degree turn in their attitude within a month.
In a sense, if Haruki is not a ninja of Konoha, maybe the next Kazekage can compete.
In addition, Minato Namikaze and Mikoto Uchiha have also been getting a lot of favors recently.
In order to prevent the two apprentices from being too bored, Haruki asked the Third Kazekage to give them many tasks.
Fast and good.
The amount of tasks has reached the average level of Chunin.
Haruki planned to apply to Hiruzen Sarutobi for promotion to Chunin when he returned to Konoha.
In fact, thanks to their achievements in the battle with Sunagakure Village last time, the three of them were able to achieve an exceptional level of promotion.
But Qingshu was too busy and forgot about it.
"I still feel a little unbelievable when I say it."
Tsunade stood aside, watching the heated scene, "Can they really achieve the effect you said and make the desert disappear?"
"It is difficult to disappear completely, but it is easier to expand the oasis."
Qingshu stroked her silver hair skillfully, "Besides, compared to these, isn't the most precious thing the smiles on these people's faces?"
Tsunade's eyes turned.
Because of Haruki's suggestion, more than two-thirds of the people participating in the tree planting operation were civilians.
They all come from the border.
When they first arrived, everyone looked panicked. To them, ninjas were almost the same as the culprits who destroyed their homes.
But after Sunagakure Village provided food, clothing, housing, transportation and work, they felt completely different, and many of them were even moved to tears.
This scene is truly something Tsunade will never forget.
During her childhood, it was difficult for her to understand their feelings, but she was still infected by their emotions.
In one month, Tsunade saw something she had never seen before.
Once again, the aversion to war reached its peak.
She had never known before that the people who suffered the most were not Konoha or the ninjas, but these civilians who suffered for no reason.
"Tsunade, Naruto should not be the goal, the end result of the struggle for power, and it should not be a dream."
Haruki whispered, "Do your job, seek your position, and fulfill your responsibilities. Hokage is just the beginning. I hope that one day everyone will be friendly and help each other, and every family will live and work in peace and contentment. There will be no differences and no wars."
He suddenly remembered a passage in the "Book of Rites" about the idea of universal unity.
The old will be able to die, the strong will be useful, the young will be able to grow, the widowed, widowed, lonely and disabled will all be provided for...
Tsunade raised her head.
Haruki's handsome appearance was reflected in her eyes.
The golden color of the sun enveloped his body, and his whole person seemed to be glowing with light.
She lowered her head, her heart beating suddenly, like a young girl seeing her beloved male god, her eyes burning with endless desire.
She was afraid that she would lose control the next moment and pounce on him.
Tsunade finally understood why she liked him.
As the saying goes, serious men are the most handsome.
But a man who lives up to his ideals is equally heartwarming.
When they first met, Tsunade just saw Haruki as an orphan with a poor life experience but some talents as a medical ninja.
During the Second Ninja War, when others feared or respected her because of her identity and strength, he was the only one who truly understood her actions and ideals.
Later, the offense and defense changed. She, who had always been strong, began to understand Haruki because she liked him.
No, it should be said that she didn't really understand until this moment.
A man who has a lofty ideal that is unique to the ninja world and who is moving forward towards this ideal without hesitation.
She had never heard of or seen such a person.
No, maybe her grandfather Senju Hashirama was a similar person.
But the two were completely different. Although it offended her grandfather a little, she agreed more with Haruki's approach.
She thought to herself that she was really an unfit girlfriend.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that she had been silent, Qingshu couldn't help but wonder if his words were really so lethal?
Is it because I can’t understand it? Or is it that my thoughts haven’t completely changed yet?
He brings Tsunade with him in everything he does these days, naturally so that she can learn.
When she becomes Hokage, she won't need him to teach her.
The most important thing is the sublimation of ideas.
From her birth to the present, she has carried out the behavioral preparations and thoughts of a ninja.
"Have I become handsome again?" Haruki pondered for a moment. Because he was Tsunade, he was not in a hurry and started joking again.
"Shameless!" Tsunade slapped his hand.
"Oh, so I don't need this face to be handsome to you?"
"..."
Tsunade suddenly laughed angrily, who could explain it? Although in a sense this is indeed the case now, it is so abominable!
If it weren't for the wild woods, she would have let this guy Qingshu admit his mistake loudly to her!
Qingshu's eyes moved downward involuntarily.
murderous look.
Tsunade's little face was full of murderous intent.
He laughed and said: "Haha, Tsunade, what do you want to eat for lunch today? I'll cook it for you. Or you can let Minato and Mikoto do it. In the past month, the two of them have barely reached half of what I have.
My cooking skills are good."
Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and hummed, "I think Minato's level has almost surpassed yours."
"What! Impossible!" Qingshu was furious, "If you give him another hundred years, he won't be able to surpass me!"
"What kind of strange desire to win do you have?" Tsunade couldn't help but laugh. She wasn't angry at all.
"Others can say it, but you can't." Qingshu said a little aggrieved.
None of the complimentary words you have said before are as insulting as this sentence.
This is the dignity unique to men.
Tsunade was stunned, looked at him, and waved to him.
Qingshu bent down.
Tsunade kissed him on the cheek, put a finger on his lips, and said with a smile: "In my heart, even if it takes a thousand years, no one can surpass you."
