When Naruto returned to his home from the 44th Training Ground "Forest of Death", he felt several ninjas following him along the way.
Needless to say, they were all sent by Danzo to keep an eye on him.
"Get rid of them?" Naruto thought to himself, but then he overturned this idea.
These root ninjas must have found out where their home is. A monk can escape but cannot escape from the temple. Naruto cannot not even return home.
But if he stayed at home, he would be unable to do many things, which Naruto also didn't want to see.
He planned to take advantage of these seven days to practice the art of reincarnation. How could he be watched from behind by a bunch of root ninjas every day?
Naruto wandered aimlessly on the streets of Konoha, not caring about other people's looks of disdain or confusion.
The root ninja behind him just followed Naruto and ran around in the streets of Konoha.
"This guy, why don't you go home!" Even the root ninja who was trained like a wooden man couldn't help but complain.
Naruto was like walking a dog, sneaking away these basic ninjas until eleven or twelve o'clock in the night, and then slowly walked back to his home.
Early the next morning, Naruto got up early and went shopping again. Again, this shopping lasted a whole day, and he didn't go home until late at night.
After two or three days, Naruto was full of energy, but the few root ninjas all had dark circles under their eyes.
"When will Danzo-sama send more ninjas?" a root ninja said with big dark circles under his eyes.
If there are more ninjas, just change shifts and monitor.
But there are just a few people, taking turns monitoring each other every day, and they can't even get a good night's sleep!
"Wait patiently, Danzo-sama will send more ninjas to replace you."
Compared with the handover, the ninja who replied was more concerned about another thing: "He has been eating and drinking these days and has never practiced."
The ninja responsible for surveillance replied: "Yes. Even when he sleeps, we are watching him."
"That's really strange. Why is he so lazy and so powerful?"
It was no secret among the Roots that Naruto defeated and seriously injured a Root ninja with one move.
Why do people with such strength seem to spend all day eating, drinking and having fun?
"Don't worry. Since Lord Danzo asked us to keep an eye on him, it means that this guy won't live long." One of them said confidently.
The last time the Roots went out collectively, they wandered around the Uchiha clan's residence every day, exploring.
As a result, not long after, the powerful Uchiha clan was completely destroyed.
Of course Naruto wouldn't wander around so bored every day.
With the power of the Tiger Talisman, what he left in Konoha was just a shadow clone with no flaws on the surface. His true body had left Konoha long ago, and with the extreme speed of the Rabbit Talisman, he returned to the waves.
country.
The country of waves, the shogunate.
In the eyes of the people of Wave Country, Shogun Harada is undoubtedly a great figure.
He holds all kinds of power and can command many ninjas to do things for him. Even the daimyo of Wave Country have to be polite to him.
However, such a distinguished person was kneeling aside respectfully at this moment, not daring to take a breath.
This is all because Naruto is back.
He went through all the official documents of the past few days, threw them away, and said: "Not bad. I can see that you work very hard."
"My subordinates just relied on your plan and painted cats according to tigers. These achievements are not worth mentioning." Harada replied respectfully.
"Compared to before, the country of Waves is much more prosperous now." Naruto said.
Before entering the shogunate, he also visited various places in the Kingdom of Waves.
Compared with the people we saw in the past who were in ragged clothes and had no food on their faces, now the people are wearing coarse clothes and their food can be meaty. This is a big improvement.
Harada said: "Thanks to the Naruto Bridge and the railway underneath."
"Fish from the Country of Waves can be shipped out, and goods from the outside can also be circulated. This is how the economy prospers."
Naruto asked again: "I saw many cargo ships in the port earlier. Where did these ships come from?"
Harada recalled it and quickly replied: "After the country of Waves built railways and ports, many chambers of commerce came here to try their luck."
"You can go to the Kingdom of Water by going to the sea from the Kingdom of Waves."
Naruto heard the words "Water Country" and asked emphatically: "Water Country implements a closed-door policy. Why does it have business relations with mainland countries?"
Harada carefully rummaged through the official documents that had been processed, found the one he wanted, and handed it to Naruto.
"The policy of the Water Kingdom seems to have changed."
"In the past, they were isolated on their own island and did not communicate with the outside world. But just as the Kingdom of Waves was undergoing changes, the Kingdom of Water seemed to have also changed."
"The Kingdom of Water now allows merchant ships from the outside world to enter, so merchants flock here."
Harada's answer made Naruto silent for a long time.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thinking in his head, what impact would the changes in the situation in the Kingdom of Water have on the ninja world, and what benefits could he gain from it?
"At this time, Terumi Mei has not yet become the fifth generation Mizukage, but it is obvious that the Kingdom of Water has begun to be governed by her."
According to the analysis seen in the previous life, it should be in Konoha sixty-four that Kirigakure completely got rid of Obito's control, completely abolished the policy of "blood mist", and embarked on the principle of independence.
However, when doing anything in this world, you must have enough time as a buffer.
So, it is very reasonable that Kirigakure started pilot reforms in Konoha's 60th year and gradually abolished the policies of the previous Mizukage.
The sixtieth year of Konoha is also the year when the plot of Naruto begins!
"Intensify the exploration of the Kingdom of Water, and ask our businessmen to go there, see and listen more, and understand Kirigakure's policy changes." Naruto ordered.
The Kingdom of Water is also an island country, but the island they are on is much larger than the Kingdom of Waves.
"There are a total of five major countries in the ninja world. Controlling the Fire Country alone can serve as a deterrent to the other four countries."
"If we can capture the Kingdom of Water, we can create a two-sided attack on the Kingdom of Thunder where Kumogakure is located!"
From the map, the closest ones to the Kingdom of Thunder are the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Water.
Compared to the Kingdom of Earth, which has always been controlled by Iwagakure Village and suffered greatly from the 'Blood Mist' policy, the Kingdom of Water, where senior ninjas have been seriously outnumbered, is more convenient for Naruto to put his hands into.
"Uchiha Obito can secretly control a country with a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. If it were me, I would undoubtedly do better than him!" Naruto thought.
"Sir, do you have any other instructions?" Harada asked proactively.
"Are there any death row prisoners in the prison of Wave Country?" Naruto asked.
Harada replied: "A few days ago, several ninja masters took action and captured a group of water thieves, numbering about fifty people."
"Originally, we planned to execute them at the port as a warning to those who came after us. Now it is not difficult to bring them out."
"Find me a secluded place to send all these water thieves." Naruto said.
He was about to experiment with the power of the Immortal Curse Seal and the art of reincarnation from dirty soil, but what he lacked was experimental materials.
Of course he would not attack innocent people like Danzo did. So he had no choice but to focus on the death row prisoners.
But what Harada said about the water thieves also reminded him.
"Go find me bandits, water thieves and pirates, first-class villains, capture them alive and bring them here."
"Those who are full of evil and whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent people."
"As for those who were kidnapped and went to the mountains without any blood debt, let them work for a certain number of years to pay for their crimes. After that time, they can be released."
Naruto had to say so much, otherwise, with this kind of execution ability in the feudal era, I don't know how many unlucky people would be caught.
