Naruto: I can synthesize psychic beasts

"Indeed, it has been a long time since we last met. You are not in your own water town concentrating on studying ninjutsu. I wonder why you suddenly visit me?"

In the luxurious living room of the Northern Strategic Base, the Raikage received the Mizukage, who was one of the six contemporary Kages like him.

He leaned comfortably on the soft sofa and faced Karuji Yagura with a smile.

Yeyue Ai was full of curiosity about Goji Yagura's sudden visit.

This Mizukage seldom leaves his house, and will never leave his water town easily unless something major happens.

Karatachi Yagura did not directly respond to Orochimaru's question, but just twitched his nose slightly and frowned slightly.

"Your sweaty smell is still so strong here."

As a man who loves cleanliness, Karuju Yagura does not like this environment filled with the smell of sweat.

Even after spraying a large amount of air freshener in this room, the sweat smell was still difficult to dissipate.

Obviously, this room has just experienced a terrible "exercise" recently.

"I'm really sorry, I was just exercising and didn't have time to clean up."

Yeyue Ai shrugged easily.

"No need. It always makes people feel uncomfortable to conduct research in such an environment. Mr. Raikage, I came here mainly to buy some chakra ore from you."

Karuji Yagura said bluntly.

"Didn't we purchase a batch half a year ago? Could it be that it's used up so quickly?"

Yeyue Ai raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Although the Water Country faces great difficulties in obtaining various materials and equipment due to the influence of its geographical environment, materials that can be used to extract chakra metal are still very precious.

"Those materials have long been exhausted, and our demand for ninja swords far exceeds expectations."

"You should use it sparingly. The market for chakra metal raw materials has been highly competitive in recent years, and I don't have much."

Yeyue Ai sighed helplessly.

With the financial resources of the Cloud Ninja Village, purchasing raw materials is naturally not a problem, but they also need to use them themselves.

Be it the now prosperous Kingdom of Soup, or other major powers that are showing signs of fatigue, they do not seem to be easy targets for the Kingdom of Thunder.

What's more, he is now being closely watched by the ninjas of the Akatsuki organization.

Kumogakure tried to use Killer Bee to find out the Akatsuki hiding behind the scenes, and then take back the Two-Tails. It was obvious that they regarded him as a soft persimmon to be bullied at will.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mizukage, it looks like today's deal can't be concluded."

Who would have thought that Karujutsu Yagura smiled slightly and said in a dangerous tone, "It seems that Lord Raikage still doesn't understand my real intention. I want to say... everyone should be facing the crisis of Akatsuki organization, right?"

"Um!?"

At this moment, Yeyue Ai instantly understood why the dignified Mizukage would come to the Hidden Cloud Village under the pretext of foreign trade.

He sat up straight, looking serious, "I'd like to hear more about it."

......

At the end of February, the harsh winter has passed and the breath of spring has quietly arrived.

In a spacious and bright conference room in Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, a tense and heated meeting was underway.

Even though the sun was shining brightly outside the window and spring was in full swing, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed a little solemn.

This is because all the people participating in the discussion are high-level officials from Konoha Village, and they are responsible for important duties such as combat, logistics, medical care, scientific research, diplomacy, and guarding.

At the podium in the conference room, Uchiha Fugaku, as the advisory elder, was presiding over the meeting in a calm and firm tone.

His eyes were like torches, scanning everyone present, as if he could see into people's hearts. His voice was loud and powerful, making people feel his determination and perseverance.

"Dear colleagues, the meeting is about to end. I would like to ask if you have any questions or suggestions?" Fugaku's words were full of sincerity and respect, which moved people.

There were about twenty people sitting in the conference room, all of them were the elite backbone of Konoha Village.

Although their identities are different, some are senior ninjas and some are ninja clan leaders.

At this regular meeting, they briefly reported on the progress of the month's work as usual, and then sat quietly in their seats, waiting for the meeting to end.

Fugaku looked around and confirmed that no one had any more questions, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you all for your cooperation! Since no one has any new questions, our meeting today is now successfully concluded. Please remember that this is a critical moment, and I hope that everyone will continue to maintain a high level of vigilance in future work. Thank you all for your cooperation, and the meeting is adjourned!" As soon as Fugaku finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the conference room.

Fugaku quickly stood up, put the documents in his hand in order, tucked them under his armpits, and walked out of the meeting room with big strides. His steps were vigorous and powerful, showing his inner determination and confidence.

Fugaku's style of doing things has always been like this, clean and efficient, never dragging his feet.

Although this meeting style of getting straight to the point may be a bit monotonous and boring, for those ninjas who know that time is life, Fugaku's style is exactly what they admire most.

Fugaku walked alone on the corridor, admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window while thinking about the challenges he was facing.

He knew that the current situation was different from the original strategic plan, which might be related to the indifference of other major powers.

Originally, in Fugaku and Minato's initial plan, the four major countries were not taken into consideration. Similarly, they were not included in the plan. However, the fierce reaction of major countries such as the Land of Lightning was beyond his expectations.

"It seems that the Fourth Raikage is also feeling like a thorn in his side..."

Although the Kingdom of Hot Springs won the war with its powerful strength, it also exposed too much of its strength, making the strength of the Kingdom of Hot Springs more transparent.

In this regard, Fugaku felt that Konoha’s failure was not necessarily a bad thing. After all, it allowed other countries to see the aggressiveness of the Yugen Village and their powerful strength.

Fugaku thought to himself that it seemed that the next action might not be as smooth as he had imagined.

But no matter what, he will stick to his beliefs, forge ahead bravely, and contribute his own strength to the rise of Konoha Village again.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared beside Fugaku. It was Mikoto, who had just seen Fugaku come out of the conference room and walked over to him when she saw him standing alone in front of the window.

"Fugaku, you seem a little worried. Are you worried about something?" Mikoto asked softly.

Fugaku smiled and turned to look at Mikoto, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"I am indeed a little worried, but I am more looking forward to it. I look forward to the day when Konoha will stand up again, and the day when Konoha will fully accept me, the Uchiha!"

Mikoto couldn't help but be moved when she heard this.

She looked at Fugaku deeply, her heart full of admiration. The man in front of her was indeed a responsible and good man!
