"Think carefully about what I said. If you don't make changes as soon as possible and take the lead in the development of the next few years, then more and more latecomers will overwhelm you Danzo.
One head."
"At that time, not to mention the position of Hokage of this village, even if you are the branch Hokage of the second village, Danzo's position will be very uncertain."
Turning the seat back to its original position, Lei Luo put down his crossed legs, stood up, and picked up the Hokage hat from the table to cover his head.
Noticing Lei Luo's actions, Danzo came back to his senses, and his expression showed a little solemnity: "Are you really going to launch the second village plan? In the second half of this year?"
"That's natural. I have inspected the geographical environment and social environment of Sichuan Country. Although that country is small, it does have great development potential..."
Responding casually, Lei Luo stretched out his hand to shake the white Hokage robe around his waist, then straightened the collar, and after the wrinkles on its surface were smoothed out, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Have you thought about how to tell the Fire Country Daimyo? That guy won't allow you easily..."
Seeing Lei Luo lifting his legs and walking around the desk, taking a few steps towards the door of the Hokage's office, Danzo quickly followed Lei Luo, with a hint of anxiety on his face unconsciously: "Hey, Lei Luo
…”
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this, just develop your roots."
Impatiently waving his hand at Danzo, Lei Luo opened the door and walked out, leaving only his last words, accompanied by the fluttering white clothes, gradually disappearing in front of Danzo who was standing there:
"By the way, don't forget to read document No. 237 on the table. I'll leave it to you to handle the matters regarding the Kingdom of Rain."
"Danzo, don't screw it up for me..."
The Yondaime's back gradually faded away. Danzo, who was the Hokage's advisor at the time, couldn't help but spit on the ground, and then reluctantly walked back to his desk.
After rummaging through piles of documents for a few minutes, Danzo pulled out a thick stack of file bags and opened them. A line of eye-catching large characters suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
"About Xiao's Second Phase Support Plan"
"Xiao..."
Thinking of the orange-haired young man he received last time, and the blue-haired girl beside him, a strange look flashed across Danzo's face, and he said to himself: "Lei Luo's apprentice? Yahiko? Konan? These gangs
What’s so special about this guy?”
Thinking of the group of Rain Country ninjas who stayed in Konoha for training last time, Danzo felt deeply dissatisfied: Why should their educational resources in Konoha be tilted towards those poor people from the Rain Country?
It has to be said that Danzo is increasingly unable to understand the various strategic layouts carried out by the Fourth Generation in recent years. Is it really because he, an old man, has failed to keep up with the times?
After leaving the Hokage's office and just passing a corner, Lei Luo noticed: On the seats next to the corridor, there were three guests waiting here, each holding a stack of paper documents in their hands.
The leader is his secretary-general Nono U, one of the other two is Uzumaki Makoto, and the other is a fat man who looks rich and dressed in luxurious clothes. What is his name?
When Lei Luo noticed these three people, they also noticed Lei Luo. Nonoyu stood up first and quickly reported the report before the other two:
"Yondaime, the third phase of financial aid from Kawakuni has been fully received. Your Excellency, the Daimyo envoy, would like to send you my regards and ask you when can you start to carry out the plan?"
With outsiders present, it was difficult for Nonoyu to speak too openly, but Lei Luo undoubtedly understood what she wanted to express and immediately replied: "Tell him to wait and start it in the second half of this year, so he shouldn't be anxious."
Nonoyu nodded quickly and opened his mouth again without blinking, but this time it was Uzumaki Makoto who saw the opportunity and took the lead: "Yondaime, Kumogakure's exchange group will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Who should I send to receive you?"
"You are the Minister of Foreign Affairs. If you don't go, who will?"
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It happened that he didn't hear Uzumaki Cheng's response in time. Lei Luo couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at the other party who was hesitant to speak, and said strangely:
"What's the problem? Say."
Seeing that Lei Luo really didn't seem to realize the difference between this time and the past, Uzumaki Makoto took a deep breath and said in a faint tone: "My fourth generation, the Chunin Examination is about to begin."
"This time, Mr. Raikage has come in person. Are you really sure you don't want to meet him?"
"Raikage? The Third Raikage?"
He repeated it twice in surprise. Seeing Uzumaki Cheng nodding silently, Lei Luo subconsciously began to search for memories in his mind. After a few seconds, he pretended to be nonchalant and said:
"Oh, that seems to be the case. Then just wait until they arrive and let me know."
After simply finishing the approval, Lei Luo turned to look at the fat man at the end, and said to Nonoyu who seemed to be rushing to say something next to him: "Wait a minute."
"What's your name?"
Noticing the confusion on Lei Luo's face, as well as the vaguely thoughtful expression, the rich, fat man covered in silk couldn't help but smile bitterly, bowed slightly and said:
"Hokage-sama, I am Takashi Maeda. This must be the third time you have met me, right?"
"Takashi Maeda..."
He quickly searched his mind for things related to this name. After half a second, Lei Luo's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Is the fourth phase of the project completed?"
Seeing that Lei Luo finally remembered who he was, the real estate developer named Maeda Takashi subconsciously straightened his back, touched the mustache around his mouth, and said with a smile:
"It's all done. I would like to know when Hokage-sama will have time to go over and cut the ribbon?"
Looking back at Nonoyu, the two sides only looked at each other for two seconds before Nonoyu quickly gave a reply: "Tomorrow from 2 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Yondaime, you don't have any arrangements."
"Did you hear that?" he asked Maeda Takashi. Seeing the fat man nodding, Lei Luo thought for a moment, and then took the initiative to reach out to him:
"Mr. Takashi, thank you for trusting us in Konoha and investing a lot of money here. I hope our cooperation will become more and more pleasant in the future."
Shaking hands with Lei Luo, Maeda Takashi complimented with a smile on his face: "Lord Hokage, you are serious. The development of Konoha in the past two years has been seen by all the world. I, on the other hand, must thank you for giving a businessman like me the opportunity to develop."
They complimented each other, and perhaps they also understood that Lei Luo was very busy at work. Maeda Takashi hurriedly left after a confession. It wasn't until his fat back went away that Lei Luo turned around and turned his attention to Nonou:
