Facing the aggressive and hostile gaze of Kazekage Reto, Hanzo did not show any expression, but just lowered his head and stood quietly aside. Soon, Reto lost interest in him and eagerly greeted the people of Konoha.

In the relatively spacious room, almost all the people of Konoha sat around Uchiha Shenyue. In addition to familiar faces such as Uchiha Madara and the Senju brothers, Reto also saw two new faces, a man and a woman. After comparing them with the intelligence, he quickly recognized that these two were Uchiha Huhe and Senju Momoka, the biological parents of Uchiha Shenyue.

After a few pleasantries, everyone couldn't wait to get straight to the point of the meeting. Tobirama took out a stack of documents that had been prepared long ago and handed them to everyone one by one, explaining in an official tone:

"According to the agreement at the Five Kage Summit, Konoha will help the Sand Village build an oasis in the desert."

"The location of the oasis can be decided by the Sand Village itself, but the specific size of the oasis must be decided by Konoha."

After that, he took out a map of the Wind Country and spread it directly on the table. The two people from the Sand Village immediately replied. After realizing what was going on, his expression changed, and he couldn't help but frown and ask:

"Can't Lord Shenyue turn all the deserts in the Wind Country into oases?"

"How can such a powerful ninjutsu that turns the desert into an oasis not come at a price?"

Without waiting for Shenyue to explain, Uchiha Hunhe glared at Retsu unhappily and shouted coldly:

"Don't be too greedy, Lord Kazekage!"

Retsu was shocked, and his anger surged. Since he became the Kazekage, no one dared to speak to him like this.

But what Uchiha Kanoko said was indeed reasonable, and he didn't dare to tear his face with Konoha at the moment, so Reto quickly put down his airs as the Kazekage and apologized:

"Sir Shenyue, I'm very sorry, I was abrupt!"

Shenyue smiled and shook his head gently, indicating that he didn't take it to heart. Hashirama wanted to say something but stopped, but was glared at by Uchiha Madara who was sitting next to him. In the end, he had to slump his shoulders in frustration and couldn't say anything.

The two sides began to argue about the location and approximate area of ​​the oasis. For a long time afterwards, Reto Shamon of the Sand Village was fighting wits and courage with the people of Konoha, using all means to argue and finally won a result that both sides could barely be considered satisfied with.

Just when Retsu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this tiring meeting was about to end, Tobirama continued to speak:

"After Shenyue creates a new oasis in the Kingdom of Wind..."

At this point, Tobirama glanced at Hanzo who had been standing in the corner of the room, as quiet as a human-shaped decoration. Hanzo immediately stood up from the corner and continued to explain what Tobirama said.

"Then, we can lead the water source of the Rain Kingdom to the Kingdom of Wind, and we don't have to worry about the problem of water evaporation in the desert."

This simple sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and it was imprinted directly into the hearts of Retsu and Shamon. The pupils of the two shrank sharply, and their minds suddenly became clear.

Yes, why didn't they think of such a simple method?

Now think about it, the rainy country of Rain has been raining for years, and the water resources are so abundant that it is flooding. It just happens to border the country of Wind, and the country of Rain is weak. For a moment, Retsu was eager to move, and almost immediately had the idea of ​​going to the country of Rain to rob water!

"Lord Kazekage, the country of Wind is short of water, but the country of Rain is not short of water. In exchange, the country of Rain wants food, and also hopes that the Sand Village can build water conservancy facilities on the land of the country of Rain."

"This..."

Retsu's expression can be said to be quite wonderful. He felt absurd and funny, but he was also quite speechless. He was almost amused by this daring boy of the country of Rain, who was always serious.

Konoha has Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Kamijou. This is why the Sand Village will listen to Konoha obediently, but what do you have in the country of Rain? What is it? Why?

"Konoha will also come to help."

As if seeing through Retsu's thoughts, Shen Yue raised his eyelids slightly and suddenly interrupted:

"But in exchange, after the two countries have discussed the results, Konoha will take a cut, but we don't need food, so please convert it into property at that time."

As soon as Shen Yue finished speaking, Retsu's face changed very vividly, red and white, unable to speak at all, and his cold eyes with murderous intent pierced Hanzo fiercely.

He should have known long ago that since Hanzo could appear here, it meant that Konoha had colluded with the Rain Country!

"...I understand."

Form is more important than people, no matter how unwilling Retsu was,However, under the invisible threat of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, two top ninjas, they could only choose to agree helplessly.

Seeing that Retsu chose to agree wisely, everything finally came to an end. Hashirama sighed slightly without leaving any trace, and quickly comforted Retsu, who looked constipated:

"In this way, the Wind Country has water, and the people of the Rain Country can also have enough food. This is a good thing for mutual benefit and win-win!"

Looking at Hashirama's current appearance, Shen Yue also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When she first proposed this plan, Hashirama strongly opposed Konoha's taking a cut from it!

But this is exactly the necessary condition that cannot be omitted or ignored.

The geographical location of the Rain Country is too special and tragic. As the junction of the three major countries of the Fire Country, the Wind Country, and the Earth Country, this small country with heavy rains all year round inevitably became a buffer zone for wars and a place for the game of major countries.

If Konoha didn't intervene, why didn't the Sand Village just seize and annex the Rain Country?

But if there was no benefit, why did Konoha intervene?

This is the sadness and helplessness of a small country.

However, although the Rain Country had to be involved in the disputes between the big countries due to its geographical location, on the other hand, if it was in a peaceful era without wars between the big countries, the Rain Country could also become a trade and transit center for the three major countries.

Shen Yue felt that such an era was not far away, and the Rain Country still had a chance to develop further, but before that, Hanzo had to first settle the chaotic situation in his hometown.

Soon, Retsuto and Hanzo finished their discussion and signed a contract under the witness of Hashirama, the Hokage. However, although he signed the agreement on behalf of the Rain Country, Hanzo actually had no decent power under his command, and the time left for him to unify the Rain Country was actually quite short.

But even so, Hanzo, who finally found hope and a goal, was filled with a fierce fighting spirit. With his strength and Konoha's deterrence, it should be no problem to deal with the mob in the Rain Country.

After solving the problem in the Rain Country, the topic of discussion naturally changed to when Shenyue would set off to plant trees in the Wind Country.

Of course, Reto hoped that Shenyue would set off as soon as possible, but how could Konoha let him go so easily?

Shenyue had never left the Fire Country since she was so old, and even Konoha had not left the country a few times. When they thought about going to the barren Wind Country, Madara, Huhe and Taohua were all worried. No matter what the Senju brothers said, they were determined and would never let him go!

Just choosing who to accompany Shenyue to the Sand Village was enough for them to quarrel.

.....

Early in the morning of the next day, Hashirama, who changed into plain clothes, led a group of Kages to wander aimlessly in Konoha, and this wandering opened the eyes of the country bumpkins who had not seen much of the world.

Although it was just dawn, there were already shops gathering on the streets of Konoha to do the morning market. The market was crowded with people, including ninja school students who got up early to buy food, ninjas who were going out for morning exercises, and housewives who didn't want to make breakfast. The crowd gathered together lively, and the streets and alleys were bright and sunny.

It must be said that the hardworking villagers of Konoha really know how to get Konoha coins from the surging crowd.

The sweet aroma of rice cakes and Dorayaki mixed with the smell of fried meat patties and tempura. The farmers selling fruits and vegetables rushed to shout and boasted about the freshness of their own dishes. Of course, the things sold in the morning market are definitely not just food, and various vendors also display their goods here.

Such a scene full of worldly fireworks and the smell of money naturally made the three Kages jealous. This scene was commonplace in Hashirama's eyes, but in the Sand Village, Kumogakure and Iwagakure, it was something they dared not imagine even in their most absurd dreams. If their village could be half as lively during the New Year, the three of them would wake up with laughter even in their dreams.

Seeing Hashirama wandering around again, although they didn't know the people behind him, the villagers still greeted everyone enthusiastically, and the food shop even stuffed their own products directly to him:

"Hokage, good morning, the freshly fried cakes, please eat them while they are hot!"

"Hokage, come and try my snacks!"

"Hokage..."

Just walking around casually, Hashirama's hands were full of things, and he couldn't stop smiling. Today's breakfast was settled.

"..." ×3

In response to this, the three Kages all tacitly agreed not to comment for the time being. They would never admit that they were actually so jealous that they were about to vomit blood.

Along the way, Konoha's wealth and tranquility were seenThe three Kages were filled with mixed feelings and were extremely jealous, but they never stopped talking. They gave out many corny flatteries as if they were free, which made Hashirama completely lost.

He was like an adult who was eager to show off his child who was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. He took the three Kages to many famous attractions in Konoha, including the Hokage Rock, the Hokage Building, the Ninja School, the Wood Release Fruit Forest... As long as Hashirama thought of them, none of them would be spared. If the three Kages hadn't tried their best to stop him, Hashirama would have taken them to visit the Uchiha clan!

The three Kages smiled on their faces, but they had already started cursing in their hearts. Deep in their hearts, they muttered in a very dark way:

Just wait, Konoha, no matter what good ideas you have, from now on, they are all theirs. Just copy them when you go back!

When passing by a market, Kazekage Reto's attention was suddenly attracted by the green paper money used by the villagers of Konoha. This made him sigh and envy:

"That's Konoha coin, everyone is using it!"

"Of course, Konoha coin is much more useful than copper coin."

Hashirama answered as a matter of course, but Reto was even more angry.

All crows are evil, all the daimyos in the ninja world are the same pit, and the ninja villages outside Konoha are of course also suffering from currency.

They also thought of imitating Konoha and issuing their own currency, but the warriors who dared to try this ended up in a miserable defeat!

Not everyone has the foundation and credit of Konoha Village. The currencies found in other ninja villages are almost like castles in the air. In the end, they can only become waste paper for burning, which is even more useless than the daimyos' copper coins.

"I have a suggestion. Since the five major ninja villages are all allies, I think we will definitely have money circulation in the future."

Tsuchikage Ishikawa stroked his beard and looked at the Konoha coins in the hands of the villagers. A shrewd look flashed in his small eyes.

"If we use different currencies, it will be very troublesome. I suggest that we all use Konoha coins in the future."
