Chapter 6: The Seven New Ninja Swordsmen (Part 2)

After injecting chakra, the pair of ninja swords suddenly flashed with electric light, and crackling sparks continued to flash in the air.

Naruto introduced: "Thunder Blade and Fang, these two swords have the ability to create and attract thunder and lightning, and are said to have infinite power of thunder. Combined with the Thunder Release Ninjutsu, they are just right for you."

After listening to Naruto's introduction, Sasuke naturally nodded with satisfaction: "So, we have already obtained three of Kirigakure's seven ninja swords!"

He was playing with the Thunder Sword Fang with both hands and suddenly asked: "Will Kirigakure ask us to take the Ninja Sword back?"

Naruto shook his head. Are you kidding? You still need to return the ninja sword you got? This is not a plunder taken by oneself, but a trophy recovered from the rebel ninjas of Kirigakure!

He said: "These ninja swords were obtained from the rebel ninjas of Kirigakure. If Kirigakure wants to get his ninja swords back, he should go to them instead of us."

Sasuke nodded with deep understanding, he thought so too.

However, what everyone present did not expect was that Sasuke's unintentional words actually predicted the Kirigakure Village's actions.

The Kingdom of Water, Kirigakure Village.

On this day, Qing hurriedly entered Terumi Mei's office carrying a document.

When Terumi Mei saw how eager Ao was, she immediately knew that something important must have happened. She immediately became serious and asked directly: "What's wrong?"

Aoya didn't mean to say anything irrelevant, so he went straight to the point: "The ninja sword that was lost in the village has appeared in Konoha Village! The beheading sword, the thunder sword, the fang, and the Samehada sword!"

"Really? How did you know?" Terumi Mei was stunned for a moment before continuing to ask.

Ever since Kirigakure Village came out of the policy of seclusion and blood mist, Mei Terumi, who felt that the village's strength was declining, had been thinking about collecting all the ninja swords that were scattered outside and rebuilding the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

However, if Konoha had obtained the three ninja swords, he should have hidden them well and quietly made a fortune. How did Ao know?

"I saw it on the news. Don't you know?" Qing asked in turn: "Didn't I just give you a TV last time?" (Note 1)

When Mei Terumi heard this, her voice suddenly started to falter: "Well... I'm so busy at work every day... After get off work, I'll watch something relaxing to relieve my fatigue..."

"For example, the recently popular "Ultraman Heroes of the Universe", right?" Qing asked in an indifferent tone.

Terumi Mei immediately changed the subject: "Qing, tell me the news."

"Hey! Let me show you the original report." Qing reluctantly brought in a TV, installed the antenna, and switched to a newly established channel.

Two anchors, a man and a woman, appeared on the screen and announced the news.

"Dear viewers, welcome to our station. This is [Lunchtime News], and I am the host Yun Hinata."

"Today, our station interviewed the leader of Konoha Roots, Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke-sama said..."

From the picture, you can see that the 'Thunder Saber Fang' is hanging on the wall behind the young root leader.

Qing said in time: "This is the current interview. In the interview just now, beheading and the Samehada sword were clearly mentioned!"

If Terumi Mei was still interested in ninja swords before seeing this show, then now, she is interested in this show.

"Producing a news program, this kind of publicity seems to be a good way!" After all, she is the female ninja who takes charge of Kirigakure Village's political bureau, and she immediately sees the significance of this program.

Television has appeared a long time ago, and propaganda is something every village does. But this is the first time that television and propaganda have been combined.

Of course he knew what Terumi Mei meant. He shook his head: "I have thought about it a long time ago. Unfortunately, this path does not work in Kirigakure Village."

Terumi Mei is also a smart person. If you think about it carefully, you will understand why.

Konoha can do this because it is Konoha.

In the past three great ninja wars, Konoha almost always used the power of one village to face the four major ninja villages, and maintained its status as the number one ninja village.

Because of this, Konoha's current affairs news will be paid attention to by ninja villages and people of all sizes.

For example, Kirigakure is located in a remote area and is not very powerful. Even if it opens its own news column, it is just for its own entertainment and for the entertainment of its family.

"If it doesn't work, forget it." Terumi Mei said simply: "We need a foreign affairs visit, and it is best to get the ninja sword back from Konoha through negotiation. Even one will do."

Qing Ze bowed slightly: "I think so too. However, there is another problem."

Terumi Mei was surprised, what's the problem?

"Have you forgotten, there is no new Mizukage in the village yet."

Terumi Mei suddenly realized that if he wanted to conduct a foreign visit, he must travel in the name of the Mizukage.

She was silent for a moment and said, "I will explain it to Master Yuan. You go and prepare first."

The Land of Fire, Konoha Village at the same time.

Naruto was visiting the renovated Konoha TV station and was receiving a report.

"Since the opening of the new channel, the ratings of our station have increased significantly, with an increase of 20,000 in one week." The station director reported to Naruto.

"Seventy percent of this increase comes from foreign countries, and the remaining 30% is contributed by the villagers of Konoha."

"We also promoted it to the general public and got a lot of welcome. It is estimated that there are 500,000 potential viewers in the Land of Fire alone!" The station director's words were very exciting.

But for Naruto, who had experienced the explosion of information in his previous life, this achievement was just like water and not worth mentioning.

But of course he knew that he couldn't apply the situation in his previous life to the present. He still encouraged him at the moment: "You have to produce more and better programs in order to attract more viewers."

"Now, the cost of TVs is getting lower and lower, and it will be in every household in the future. We need to take advantage of this time to become famous and let more people know Konoha and join it."

These public opinion offensives may seem inconspicuous, but they are indeed solid soft power, which can be as powerful as a film-level powerhouse at critical moments.

Facts have proved that what Naruto said is accurate.

As soon as he returned to the office, he received news that Kirigakure wanted to conduct a foreign affairs visit to Konoha.

"Mizukage Terumi Mei is here in person? It seems that my butterfly wings have indeed stirred up a strong wind."

In my impression, it was not until the Raikage proposed to convene the [Five Kage Conference] that Terumi Mei succeeded to the position of the fifth Mizukage.

Unexpectedly, just after Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan ended, Terumi Mei ascended to the position of Mizukage several years in advance.

And the reason why she came to Konoha can be guessed by just thinking with her toes. It must be for those three ninja swords.

"Since Kirigakure is coming, of course we welcome it. Send this news to Tsunade-sama." Naruto finally made the decision.

This kind of thing has to be dealt with by Tsunade, who is also a fifth generation and female.
