Civilian Naruto: Becoming invincible from the Eight Gates

Suzumiya Musashi looked at the people in front of him and saw that they were arguing again.

half an hour.

Without waiting for Suzumiya Musashi's answer, the voices of the crowd gradually stopped, waiting for his reply.

Suzumiya Musashi: "Are you done?"

The people below looked at each other and said, "That's all... Let's just say this first, and we can add more later if we remember."

"Yeah." The smile on Suzumiya Musashi's face faded.

"When you're done... shut up!!"

Everyone: "..."

Suzumiya Musashi continued: "I'll say this one last time."

"This mission is not something that must be done."

"Agreed, get in line to sign!"

"If you don't agree, get out!"

"From now on, everyone walks on the bridge, and you swim!"

"If the signature ratio is not enough, we will leave tonight. Konoha will no longer interfere in the matter of the bridge. You can solve it yourselves."

After saying that, he turned to look at Dazna without paying attention to everyone's reactions.

"Whether to sign or not is up to you. I want to see the result within an hour from now."

Daz nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, I understand."

"It doesn't take an hour, half an hour will be enough."

Suzumiya Musashi turned and left. "The agreement is signed and you can bring it here yourself."

After he left, several leaders hurriedly surrounded him.

"What should I do? Dazna, I just spoke according to your suggestion."

"That's right. I thought he would be easy to talk to since he's so young. Why did he turn hostile over such a disagreement?"

"Alright." Dazna said dejectedly.

He felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have been thinking about gaining more benefits for the Wave Country at this time.

Now, not only did I not gain any benefits, but I also got myself into trouble.

He sighed and said, "I underestimated this young man. Everyone, please come one by one and sign and put your fingerprints on it."

Naturally, everyone will no longer have any objections.

The bridge is already half built. Either give up the bridge and continue to be poor, or give Konoha 30% of the bridge tax as a mission reward. Even a fool would know the choice.

Twenty minutes later.

Dazna finds Suzumiya Musashi with an agreement covered with signatures and red handprints.

"Signed, in duplicate."

Suzumiya Musashi checked and found nothing wrong with the agreement, then put it away.

"Okay. That's it for now."

"The agreement will be returned to you once we return to Konoha and have it confirmed by the Hokage-sama."

"Before that, we will ensure the smooth construction of the bridge. We will also help you with the people that Cardo has found."

Dazna thanked him, "Thank you so much."

"If the Land of Waves can develop, it must be thanks to ninjas like you."

Suzumiya Musashi agreed; "Indeed, I think so too."

"You are right to be grateful."

Dazna: “…”

"Well, there is one more thing. About the naming of the bridge."

"After the bridge is built, does Konoha have any ideas for the name, such as Hokage--"

Suzumiya Musashi interrupted the other party directly: "No need."

"Since you funded the construction of the bridge, the naming is up to you."

Dazna breathed a sigh of relief.

He had great expectations for this bridge. Whether the Wave Country could become prosperous, whether the people's lives could improve, and the courage that had been lost... If the bridge ended up becoming the Hokage Bridge or the Konoha Bridge, it would always be unpleasant.

But Suzumiya Musashi continued: "However...the name of the toll booth built on the bridge will be decided by us."

Upon hearing this, Dazna thought this was too easy.

A small toll station, whatever name the people of Konoha give it.

He casually asked, "What name is Konoha going to give to the toll booth?"

Suzumiya Musashi sat up straight, with a proud look on his face, and said word by word: "It's called: Hiruzen Toll Station!"

Dazna looked stunned.

Suzumiya Musashi's eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement: "As a witness to the friendship between Konoha and Wave Country!"

"I want to make sure that the name of Hokage-sama will still be loud in the Land of Waves!"

"I believe that by then, everyone who passes through the bridge and is charged taxes will have pure gratitude and respect for the Hokage!~"

Dazna said uncertainly: "Um...are you sure you want to do this?"

Suzumiya Musashi said without hesitation: "Of course!"

"When the time comes, the toll booth must have the words 'Rizen Toll Booth' written in eye-catching fonts."

"Besides, such a small matter does not need to be reflected in the agreement. Let's give Hokage-sama a surprise!"

"Well, great idea, right?"

Dazna: “…Ah, right, right.”

Suzumiya Musashi: "Your expression doesn't seem to mean that? What exactly do you want to say?"

Dazna: "I'd say that's a great idea!"

-

night.

Everyone enjoyed dinner in Daz's restaurant.

Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, on the other hand, were eating like wild boars fleeing from a disaster.

"Give me another bowl!" Uchiha Sasuke stretched out his hand.

"I'll have a bowl too!" Uzumaki Naruto was not willing to be outdone.

"Bang! Bang!"

“Ah! It hurts so much~”

Amid the two people's cries of pain, Suzumiya Musashi put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Get lost when you're full!"

"The people of Wave Country are starving, and you two are still wasting food here!"

Uchiha Sasuke said aggrievedly: "Brother Musashi, I didn't waste any food."

"Eating when you are full is a waste!"

Uzumaki Naruto wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Boss, I just want to eat more and become stronger as soon as possible."

"You can't get fat in one breath." Suzumiya Musashi said rudely: "Do you think you are from the Akimichi family?"

"Hurry up, finish eating and go out to digest the food. Miss Nami will have to clean up later."

The two of them agreed weakly.

"Bang!" The bowl of rice was slammed heavily on the table, making a harsh sound.

A few people looked sideways and found that it was Dazna's grandson Inari.

At this moment, he pursed his lips and complained, "Why, why do I have to practice so hard! Why do I have to work so hard!"

"You are no match for Cardo!"

"In front of a truly strong person, people like you will be defeated!"

Uzumaki Naruto quieted down.

He looked at Inari, who was holding his mouth with a look of extreme depression. Although the other party was just a child much younger than him, the despair in his heart made him feel as if he could not breathe.

"Hey, you're so annoying."

"We are different from you."

Inari yelled as if irritated, "Shut up!"

"I get angry when I see you! You don't understand this country at all! The people in this country have no courage!"

"Everything you do will fail in the end."

"It will all fail, just like before..."

Uzumaki Naruto also became excited. He couldn't accept such a pessimistic idea.

"So, you should feel like you are the hero of a tragedy and can only cry and curse?"

Haruno Sakura couldn't help but said: "Naruto! Stop talking, it's too much."

"He's still a kid."

Uzumaki Naruto glanced at Haruno Sakura.
