Naruto: This Uchiha is a businessman.

"Sir, we..."

Shikaku wanted to explain something, but the daimyo showed a hint of impatience:

"That's enough. Let Sarutobi Hiruzen come and explain to me himself. I want to listen to you again. Tell him that if he doesn't explain clearly, just wait for the troops from other countries to attack. At that time, I will be like the Daimyo of the Sand Country and no longer provide any supplies to Konoha. That's it."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the door with the help of the waiter.

Looking at the leaving daimyo and the opened door, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Shikaku's eyes. As a ninja who had mastered power, he had never suffered such humiliation. During the Warring States Period, it was this group of nobles who begged for their protection.

Why do we still have to look at the faces of these guys now? !

For a moment, he began to have some doubts about the era created by the first Hokage. Could it be that the decision made by this God of the Ninja World was wrong?

If Lu Lin knew, he would definitely laugh out loud, but of course he was wrong.

During the Warring States Period, although things were more chaotic and wars were more frequent, the casualties were not as great as they are now.

The war at that time was nothing more than a fight between families. Even if all the people of a family died, there would only be a few thousand casualties at most, and that was the number of people from the largest families.

Like now, with systematic training, many civilians have the opportunity to learn ninjutsu. The number of ninjas has greatly increased, and it is possible for tens of thousands of ninjas to besiege one person.

Who has ever heard of any family in the Warring States Period that could mobilize tens of thousands of people at once?

Not to mention tens of thousands of ninjas, even tens of thousands of people can't be brought out.

Permanent peace is unrealistic. Unless your power is able to suppress the people you manage forever, there will always be one or two people with strong power and rebellious intentions.

In response, Shikaku could only shake his head, stood up and left the Daimyo's residence, walked out of the capital of the Land of Fire, and headed towards Konoha.

. . . . . .

"Sir, have we found the child you were talking about?"

Lu Lin got up from the bed because he couldn't stand the hunger. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he was a little unresponsive for a while:

"What kid?"

"We found the imprisoned child you mentioned who was unable to control his emotions and wanted to kill."

After thinking for a long time, Lu Lin remembered that Yahiko wanted to improve his strength at that time, so he came to find Lu Lin, hoping that he could think of a way for him. Then he remembered natural energy.

Afterwards, he sent out most of his men to search around the Ninja World for the three fairylands, the possible locations of the fairylands on the sea, and the child with the cursed seal that could absorb natural energy.

"Where's the child? Did you bring him?"

Lu Lin was quite interested in the curse seal on his body. If he remembered correctly, a certain Otsutsuki who appeared later seemed to have a curse seal on his body, and his curse seal could absorb any energy attack, so as his opponent, he could only engage in close combat.

"We've taken it out from where he lived."

The subordinates said that when the child was found, it was the adults in that place who brought them there and found him in the prison.

They said they wanted to take the child away, and those people agreed immediately because they all believed that the child was cursed and would suddenly go berserk and kill people under any circumstances.

"Then bring it up here so I can see it."

I'm hungry now, so I won't go to see him. It would be better for him to come directly.

Soon, his men came in with a child with orange hair and orange pupils. Judging from his age, he was about the same age as Kimimaro.

After filling his stomach half full, Lu Lin wiped his mouth slowly:

"What's your name, kid?"

The child just looked at Lu Lin silently without saying anything.

"Sir, this child may have been locked up for too long and can't speak well."

The subordinate pulled the child to face him:

"Don't worry, our master is not a bad person. As long as you cooperate well, you will not be put in jail again, understand?"

Hearing that he would not be detained again, the child's eyes finally showed some movement. He pursed his lips and turned to look at Lu Lin:

"My name is Chongwu."

Lu Lin nodded. The name was correct. After careful feeling, he felt that there was indeed a kind of natural energy slowly entering Chongwu's body.

You know, this is land, and the natural energy is almost exhausted, but the opponent's body can still capture a trace of natural energy and absorb it into the body.

If I could master and control that seal, would I be able to use natural energy at will without worrying about wasting it?

There is too little natural energy on land, and it is difficult for Lu Lin to absorb the meager natural energy floating in the air into his body.

Therefore, after consuming all the natural energy he possessed, Lu Lin had no choice but to go to the sea to replenish it. He couldn't even recover slowly on land.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin's eyes lit up and he looked at Chongwu with even more enthusiasm.

Just as I was about to say something, two figures suddenly walked in from outside the door.

"Uncle, why didn't you take Kimimaro and me with you when you defended the Tea Kingdom? We two have the strength to defend the country."

Before he could see the figures clearly, the voice had already come. Lu Lin didn't even need to turn his head to know that it was Itachi and Kimimaro.

The chubby Itachi looked at Lu Lin angrily. Even his father could go to the battlefield, so why couldn't he?

"you?"

Looking at the two little ones, Lu Lin found it a little funny, but then he thought, in the ninja world, Itachi and the others are not too young to go to the battlefield at this age, right?

But of course we can’t say what they want:

"I see you just don't want to go to school. Did you skip class again today?"

Itachi's angry expression instantly disappeared after his thoughts were exposed, and he looked a little embarrassed:

"How could that be? Kimimaro and I just want to defend our country..."

How can such a young child understand what a country is?

Kimimaro stood aside, expressionless and looking cool.

Jūgo looked at the two people who came in with a little envy on his face. Perhaps he also wanted to be as free as Itachi and Kimimaro.

Ignoring Itachi, Lu Lin looked at Jūgo who was peeking at Itachi and Kimimaro with curiosity and envy, and he immediately had an idea in his mind. Jūgo was too young now, and there was no rush for him to study the curse seal, so it would be better to let him grow up for a while first.

When the time comes, we can call Orochimaru and try to study the curse seal thoroughly. In the original work, Orochimaru created a lot of strange curse seals because of Jūgo.
