Konoha is also very enthusiastic today

Locusts are raging in autumn, and a year's hard work has been wasted. If there is not enough grain, in the fallow winter, there will definitely be widespread famine.

Winter is the time when a country's national power is at its most emptied, and the emergence of locust plagues undoubtedly makes things worse.

In addition, Konoha took action at this time and severely cut off the leeks of the five major countries, weakening their financial strength...

And because she started in the Ninja Village and had a large Hidden Leaf Village behind her, the superiors wanted to hire them, but they had to cede a wave of food.

This is a set of combo punches.

With this year's income as the backing and full firepower, Konoha not only spread her bamboo shoots to countries all over the world, but even her own family members were stunned by her operation.

Especially the Nara family, who claim to be Konoha's military adviser. They look at Konoha's thousand-layer routines one after another and feel that there is no need for their own existence.==

Of course, it's not like no one is worried about Konoha being so hands-off.

Senju Tobirama was the first to raise doubts.

"Is that all right?"

The silver-haired young man frowned deeply. It wasn't that he didn't trust Konoha, but because of his personal habits and the mentality of always preparing for the worst, he always subconsciously deduced the development of the situation, and was concerned about Konoha's sudden high-profile style. Expressed confusion.

"This territory... although it is actually ours, in the eyes of people from the Fire Country and other countries, the territory belongs to those two nobles, and it still belongs to the Fire Country in name."

"Little Konoha, the scope of this locust plague includes the Fire Country. Nowadays, people in the hinterland of the Fire Country are in dire straits, but we stand up at this time. In the name of this fiefdom that still bears the name of the Fire Country, We conduct grain trade with other countries as if we are not bothered by the locust plague at all. Will this cause alarm?"

It's not without reason that Senju Tobirama would point this out.

Think about it, if you are a daimyo from the Land of Fire, and you are worried about the sudden locust plague, you learn that there is still a piece of land under your hands that has not been invaded by the locust plague at all, and you are still selling food to foreign countries instead of returning aid to your country as soon as possible. , what would you think?

"We act with too much autonomy, like a completely independent country."

The leaders of any country are extremely sensitive in this regard. They are simply dancing wildly in the minefield.

"This kind of behavior can be called transgression - if it is serious, it can even be charged with treason."

After all, from the perspective of the superiors of the Fire Nation, what is the purpose of raising these people?

What does it mean that when your own country is already in deep disaster and in dire straits, you are leisurely and busy making money without even the slightest thought of providing aid?Do you want to rebel?

Even if he doesn't think so, the daimyo will definitely be punished. The real power is in his hands, and their lives will definitely not be easy in the future.

That's why Senju Tobirama came up with this idea: "How about we make a show first and transport some food back...?"

"No." Konoha denied without thinking.

She raised her head and looked directly into Tobirama's red eyes. She said calmly, even almost coldly: "Uncle, you have to know that in the eyes of superiors like the daimyo, we are 'subordinates' and come to their aid." It’s as it should be. They will not only ask for our harvest, but they will also be asked to donate the results of our hard work in the past two years... Do you know? This kind of thing cannot be started."

"Why would I let go at this time? Because uncle, we have nothing to worry about anymore."

Senju Tobirama's Flying Thunder God 2.0 has been completed. It has further improved its knowledge of time and space. It is capable of large-scale spatial transmission. Once integrated into the transportation system, it is an absolute killer and one of Konoha's confidence.

"Let them be suspicious. Before they make any move, let's seize the time to kill the last wave of fat sheep. Uncle, we don't have to be patient anymore, let's stand on the world stage openly, in the name of ninja."

--what?

Do you... know what you're talking about?

Qianju Tobirama's pupils tightened, and his breathing stopped involuntarily.

He looked at the understated girl in front of him, and felt that the heart in his left chest was beating like never before, and the blood in his body heated up rapidly, reaching the boiling point in an instant!

It was an even more intense emotion than the moment he watched his eldest brother become a god after the war ended.

He knew they could never fully understand Konoha.

But she has actually seen so far away...such an unimaginable point!

Are you afraid?For the earth-shaking reality that is coming.

— No, not right.

That's "excited."

After all, the nature of ninjas is to wander on the battlefield where life and death are on the line.

They love peace, but that doesn't mean they're afraid of crisis.On the contrary, if you are on the cusp of the storm, even if you only take this trip in your life, it can be said that it is a worthwhile trip.

Senju Tobirama looked at her deeply.

There has never been a moment when it was clearer than now that the girl in front of her could no longer be treated like a junior.

She had already stood higher and further than them.

She would be the unquestioned leader, she would surpass her two mythical fathers, she would become a true...god among men.

He, and countless others, all they need to do is to follow the direction she leads with sincerity, that's all.

That’s it for now, there’s nothing more to say.

Trust her.

Qian Shu Feijian said no more, he nodded slightly to her, then turned around and left, closing the door.

Konoha breathed out a breath, and she turned to look out the window. Outside, the wheat waves were golden, and the maples were falling on the ground. People were walking together with smiles on their faces. In the rice fields in the distance, farmers could be seen bending down and working everywhere. Their dark and simple faces were full of smiles. It is the joy of harvest.

The years are quiet and peaceful.I'm afraid no one wants to break this tranquility.

...It's just a pity, this is the calm before the storm.

Konoha shook her head. She walked to the window and closed the curtains. The light in the office suddenly dimmed.

She faded into the shadows.

.........

"Sir, what's bothering you?"

Hearing the familiar soft voice, the face of the Fire Nation daimyo softened slightly. He looked back and felt a little better when his eyes touched the stunning face that he couldn't get enough of.

He shook his head slightly: "I'm fine, let Mei worry."

Ever since he got Xie Huamei, the daimyo's mood has been in a happy state.

Everyone has a love for beauty. For people of their class, there is no shortage of beauties around them. Their resistance and standards for beauty are extremely high, and ordinary beauty cannot catch their eyes at all.

The daimyo thought he was tired of beauty, but who knows... it was just because he had never seen a real beauty.

Xie Huamei's appearance, using "beauty" to describe it, is thin and pale. No, it should be said that even if he used all the beautiful words and invited the most famous poet in the world to write poems and lyrics for her and praise her beauty, he would It feels far from enough.

That is a face that no matter how long you look at it, you will still feel amazed when you glance over it.

As soon as he got Xie Huamei, he quickly arranged for her to be close to him, and his love for her was beyond words.

In fact, he had his own intention in arranging this. He wanted to see what Xie Huamei's character was like, whether she had inner cultivation, or whether she was just a vase with a superficial appearance - although this vase was peerless enough.

The final test results were far beyond his expectations.

Because of his status as a daimyo, there were countless people around him who tried their best to please and flatter him. When those flattering guys saw that he doted on a beautiful girl so much, they also set their minds on Xie Huamei.

"Three thousand favors in one body" is not something that everyone can bear. Xie Huamei not only has to withstand others' sugar-coated bullets and flattery, but also becomes a bargaining chip in the eyes of those vying for power. In addition, she also To resist the jealousy and tit-for-tat of those women from the daimyo's back room.

Because Xie Huamei's identity is really not on the stage, can a beautiful concubine who was given as a gift compare to half a finger of the legitimate daughter of a noble like them?Why does she get so much favor?

Because of this level of status, those people treated her with a lot of malice, covertly and overtly. Without a strong heart, she would have an emotional breakdown within a week.

The daimyo has been in this position for so long and has become a spirit long ago. Doesn't he know the pressure Xie Huamei faces?He just turned a blind eye.

He wanted to see how Xie Huamei would respond. Even if it was just an entertainment project after official duties, it would be exciting enough.

At that time, he also looked down on Xie Huamei's background.I'm even thinking that if I collapse, I'll just keep a nice vase by my side.

——But I didn’t want to be severely slapped in the face later.

Xie Huamei's performance was outstanding.

She looked at those who were trying to please people like clowns. She didn't give a single look at the gold, silver and jewelry they were offered to please them, and gave them all to the other sisters in the back room.

As for those people who targeted her and tried their best to harm her, I don’t know what methods she used, but she couldn’t get rid of any of them. She still took a leisurely walk and admired the flowers. On the contrary, those who were hiding in the secret Maggots have bad luck all the time, and they don’t know what kind of sin they are guilty of.

The daimyo admires such a woman so much.

As Xie Huamei's sparkling inner self is slowly revealed, the daimyo becomes more and more interested in her. Until now, Xie Huamei has been allowed to enter and leave the main hall of the daming mansion, which was unimaginable before.

The daimyo became accustomed to treating her as someone to confide in, and even though he might not get any advice, he unconsciously opened his heart to her and confided in her a lot.

Just like now.

The daimyo couldn't help sighing again: "I don't know how long it will take for this locust plague to come back to life... Now I can only rely on buying grain for how long. Fortunately, I listened to the suggestion and built a cross-border direct route, otherwise today's grain trade I’m just afraid it will be more difficult.”

He had to commend the person who suggested building a straight road... He seemed to remember it was...

The daimyo was suddenly startled.

"Wait a minute, Mei, who is the seller we are buying grain from?"
