Economy, construction, scientific research, education... all aspects are actually serving the military, using the value created by the production of ninjas to cultivate elite ninjas. This is probably the true meaning of the first five-year plan.
As for the second five-year plan...
"Lord Raikage, do you want to continue visiting?"
The Third Raikage came back to his senses and looked at Lei Luo's smiling face. He thought for a moment, then rolled his eyes slightly and said with some embarrassment: "Sir Hokage, to be honest, I am very fond of your Konoha Research Institute.
Interested, I don’t know…”
Knowing that Kumogakure must have planted spies in Konoha, Lei Luo did not show any indignation. Instead, he nodded clearly, turned around and walked forward, leaving a meaningful sentence at the same time.
words:
"The famous name of the Scientific Research Institute can reach the ears of Lord Raikage across thousands of miles. It seems that Orochimaru and the others have indeed done a good job and deserve my praise from Lei Luo."
The Third Raikage's old face blushed slightly. Although he was very grateful to Lei Luo for saving him some face, as a great ninja village shadow, he could not shrink from such an occasion.
The Scientific Research Institute is a mysterious department that has arisen in Konoha in recent years. The various products that occasionally leak out of it have undoubtedly surpassed the overall development process of the ninja world: from improved models of Bingliang pills to potions that can temporarily stimulate the body's potential.
, and most importantly, the suspected unknown means of turning ordinary people into ninjas...
These countless new products are constantly stimulating the Third Raikage's ideal of making Kumogakure stronger. For this reason, a trivial issue of face is nothing.
When the two leaders in front walked away quickly, the Kumo ninjas and Konoha ninjas behind them unconsciously glanced at each other. Perhaps they felt that Raikage and Hokage had been talking harmoniously along the way.
The tension has also eased slightly.
The leading Kumo ninja, Raikage's right-hand man, Todai, after being keenly aware of the changes in the atmosphere, thought for a moment and spoke to the leading Konoha ninja, Konoha's foreign minister Uzumaki Makoto:
"Producing ninja, scientific research department, reforming ninja school... We admire Lord Hokage's foresight, but we just don't know when Konoha will complete the first phase of its development plan and start "that plan" with us Kumogakure?
"
Realizing that Dodai was talking to him, Uzumaki Makoto thought for a while and replied with a smile: "You should be the examiner of the next generation AB group, right? Kumogakure's two perfect jinchūriki also make me envious. As for
When "that plan" should be carried out, we have to wait for the Hokage-sama to make a decision."
Dodai's face froze, and his expression suddenly became a little stiff, just because whether it was his identity as the examiner of the ab team, or the information about the next generation of perfect Jinchuuriki, it was classified in Kumogakure Village, but Uzumaki Makoto actually said it...
This feeling is like responding to the various confidential information related to Konoha that Dodai mentioned before, with the intention of reminding him: You Kumogakure knows about our Konoha, and we Konoha also know about your Kumogakure.
thing.
If you want to show off your intelligence capabilities, I advise you to save it.
The superficial flattery was just a cover-up for the private confrontation. Some Kumogakure ninjas and Konoha ninjas understood the meaning of this wave of hidden conversations between the two sides, while others did not.
Realizing that Uzumaki Cheng was very difficult to deal with, Todai secretly recalled the records about this person in the intelligence: he is forty-five years old, the current patriarch of the Uzumaki clan, and the original leader of the country of Uzumaki. From every point of view, he is a real person.
Big shot.
'Uzumaki...' Pretending to be casual, he glanced at Uzumaki Cheng, and when he saw the other person showing a decent smile at the right time, the look in Tutai's eyes couldn't help but become more solemn:
Since the Uzumaki clan joined Konoha, the forces of the Uzumaki Country and the Fire Country have been completely united. This has put great pressure on other ninja villages. Even though Kumogakure is now an ally of Konoha, Konoha
Ye is too strong, and if he continues to be strong enough to destroy the balance of the ninja world...
Today's allies may not be tomorrow's enemies.
Uzumaki Cheng encountered a soft nail here, but Dodai didn't seem to show any dissatisfaction. He took a moment to adjust his mentality, and then continued to talk about other aspects as if nothing had happened.
Such as people's livelihood, such as the training of the next generation of ninjas, such as the relationship with the daimyo, such as the development plan of the ninja village, such as various specific cooperation matters after the alliance is formed, etc.
And Uzumaki Makoto also dealt with it easily. While talking and laughing, he showed the demeanor of the overlord of the Konoha ninja world, and did not embarrass the Kumogakure ninja. He just followed Lei Luo's instructions and interacted bit by bit with some of the people who came here from Kumogakure.
Core leaders deepen their understanding.
Leaders have things that leaders talk about, and subordinates have things that subordinates talk about. This is roughly the meaning of today's meeting. It is in this atmosphere that Kumogakure and Konoha can truly establish a good alliance and let it no longer be limited.
On a paper agreement.
In the following time, Lei Luo took the Yun Ninja exchange group to visit part of the opened scientific research institute area, visited the ninja school that had an area that was more than twice as large as before after the reform, and visited the outskirts of the village.
Construction sites under construction.
After a day of wandering around, the time quickly came to night.
The visit came to an end. The leaders of both sides dismissed the rest and started formal talks in a conference room in the Hokage Building, including but not limited to discussing Kumogakure Konoha's strategic layout against Iwagakure and the specific implementation time of the hunting plan.
, and the most important thing at present is commercial cooperation.
Thanks to what he saw today, the Third Raikage was very keen on some of Konoha's new scientific research products and the technologies derived from them. Therefore, he made a request for a transaction, and Lei Luo also gave the offer in an obedient manner.
own conditions.
Holding a fist-sized piece of dark green ore in his hand, the Third Raikage frowned and observed, and then looked at Lei Luo, who was sitting across the conference table: "Sir Hokage, your condition is to let us help you mine this kind of ore?"
"That's right, Konoha doesn't need other resources now. I heard that the Kingdom of Thunder has many mountains and extremely rich mineral resources, so..." After a pause, Lei Luo slowly raised his finger and tapped the table, and continued calmly.
road:
"Using this ore as currency and exchanging it for various scientific research products of Konoha according to a certain exchange rate, what do you think, Raikage-dono?"
Upon hearing Lei Luo's question, both the Third Raikage, Tudai and several Kumogakure elders present could not help but look at each other, obviously unable to understand Lei Luo, the Hokage's purpose.
