Chapter 95 This guy is eight years old?!
Minato gave Hanzo a strange feeling.
But this oddity wasn't enough for him to lower himself to assassinate a child of only a few years old, let alone the fact that Minato was an envoy of Konoha.
Although the two sides held opposing positions, things hadn't deteriorated to the point of killing the messenger.
In the ninja world, assassinating geniuses from enemy countries is a common occurrence, but no one dares to admit to doing it, because some things cannot be brought to the forefront.
Otherwise, a situation might actually occur where a village's Kage camps out with ninja academy students.
Leaving Amegakure, Nawaki was furious: "Damn it, that bastard dared to talk about the Hokage like that!"
Minato chuckled softly: "But he's right, isn't he? Konoha has indeed never cared about Amegakure's thoughts."
"Hmm—but the Sand Village invaded us first, didn't they?"
Nawaki pouted, "It's all Sunagakure's fault! Why do those guys always target us?"
"Because Konoha has money and resources."
Minato casually said, "The Land of Wind is all desert, with very little arable land. This leads to a shortage of resources and economic poverty. Poverty means that the people cannot pay taxes, so the Daimyo Prefecture naturally has no money to allocate funds to the ninja villages."
Rope Tree frowned deeply: "Isn't that just a vicious cycle?"
"That's not the case; it's just that resolving issues by force is cheaper."
Seeing Nawaki's solemn expression, Minato smiled and felt it was necessary to explain the relevant knowledge to him so that he wouldn't be fooled by some ignorant people who think but don't learn in the future.
"For example, the Land of Rain is rainy year after year and has a harsh environment, but it borders six countries, including the three major powers of wind, fire and earth. It can become a transportation hub connecting the economies of multiple countries."
Las Vegas is a prime example, not to mention that casinos in the Ninja World are legal businesses.
"But—what good is prosperity if war breaks out?" Mikoto asked, puzzled.
"What if the investors behind this prosperity are nobles, wealthy individuals, or even high-ranking officials from the surrounding countries?"
Upon hearing Minato's words, Mikoto suddenly realized what was going on.
It's like two countries at war, and all the savings of the top officials in country A end up in the banks of country B.
"Hehehe—human society is developing in all aspects, with progress in multiple fields such as culture, economy, science and technology, institutions, law, and education. As society progresses, people's ideologies will also change, and wars will only decrease."
Orochimaru said calmly, "I have always believed in the idea that technology can change the world."
Especially after getting to know Minato, in order to keep up with Minato's way of thinking that was far ahead of the current era, he also explored a lot of other knowledge.
Orochimaru patted Nawaki on the head: "Although this is a bit cliché, Nawaki, you should read more books, not just about ninjutsu."
"I know—"
After leaving Amegakure for some distance and sensing that there were no more Amegakure ninjas around, Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport the group back to the camp.
The three followed Orochimaru into the command tent to report on the mission.
Orochimaru placed the scroll on Mitokado Homura's table: "Hanzo demands that we withdraw from the Land of Rain, or there's no point in talking."
Mitokado Homura frowned: "Could it be that he wants to form an alliance with Sunagakure?"
"Then that's even less likely. At least we in Konoha have some manners, while Sunagakure never cares about the lives of Amegakure."
Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Even the Land of Rain is one of the Sand Village's invasion targets."
"They can't possibly be planning to fight against both Sunagakure and Konoha at the same time, can they?"
Mitokado Homura was completely baffled, but seeing Orochimaru's matter-of-fact expression, he suddenly paused, "Has he gone mad?"
He didn't doubt that Hanzo had Kage-level strength, but Amegakure wasn't Konoha!
Orochimaru remained silent. If it weren't for Minato and the other two being there, he might have stirred things up even more to hasten the start of the war.
"Never mind—let's not talk about this anymore."
Mitomon Yan shook his head and said nothing more.
He actually expected this result; after all, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.
It would be strange if Hanzo didn't have a temper after Konoha and Sunagakure had been fighting in the Land of Rain for so long.
He looked at Minato: "Minato, stay in the camp for now and don't go out unnecessarily. We just received intelligence that there's already a bounty on your head on the black market."
"A bounty?!"
Rope Tree's expression changed: "How much?"
"One hundred million taels!"
Mitomon En said in a deep voice.
"One hundred million?!"
Rope Tree's eyes widened immediately.
Mikoto covered her mouth and gasped softly, while Minato raised an eyebrow slightly.
The price is roughly equivalent to three Asuma.
As the first bounty—no, this isn't about pirates.
"This price is a bit unworthy of Wood Release, and even more so of Minato-kun's strength."
Orochimaru chuckled, "No doubt about it, it was those penniless bastards from Sunagakure who did it. How stingy!"
Mitokado Yanagi: "————"
What do you think this is, some good thing?
He looked at Minato: "For the time being, Minato, you will be in charge of setting up the camp. You can discuss the specifics with Tsunade. After that, you can live next to the command post."
"clear."
Shuimen nodded. If it's just about building houses, then there's nothing wrong with that.
"And what about us?"
Nawaki sensed something was wrong and pointed to himself: "Where are Mikoto and me?"
Mitomon Homura said calmly, "You're a team, so of course you have to act together. Otherwise, Minato wouldn't feel at ease, would he?"
"Nawaki will assist Tsunade for now."
Orochimaru said calmly, "As for Mikoto, you can stay with Minato for now. We can't leave all the work to Minato alone."
"Yes, teacher!" Mikoto nodded.
Rope Tree didn't speak, and looked somewhat broken.
Since he went to the battlefield, he has not encountered a single enemy!
Is this still the front line?
After completing the mission, Orochimaru stayed at the command post, while Minato found Tsunade and began the infrastructure (and errand) task.
As the person in charge of logistics and medical care, Tsunade had Minato build the first building, which was the medical department.
"Wood Release: Frontline Healing and Hospital Protection Technique!"
Under the complicated gazes of Tsunade and the other two, a field hospital with enough beds to accommodate two hundred people rose from the ground!
"Oh! This is Wood Release, isn't it?"
"That's amazing!"
"That kid must be the legendary Wood Release genius, right? I think his name is Minato Namikaze?"
"His chakra reserves are also astonishing!"
Unlike the small wooden cabin built before, this house occupies a larger area and required the site to be cleared in advance, which has attracted a lot of attention.
Many people were secretly observing Minato, filled with curiosity about this legendary Wood Release genius.
"Phew—I'm so tired!"
Seemingly due to excessive chakra depletion, Minato stumbled and fell backward.
Tsunade supported him from behind, and their chakra connected without them even realizing it.
Wasn't that a bit over the top?
It's okay, who knows?
Just as Minato was about to return to his room to rest due to excessive chakra depletion.
In Amegakure, Hanzo pondered the intelligence reports delivered by his subordinates.
Black market bounty: Minato Namikaze.
A Wood Release bloodline in Konoha Village, eight years old, blond hair and blue eyes, with a bounty of 100 million ryo.
Related intelligence: He mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and single-handedly defeated a hundred-strong frontline force from Sunagakure.
"This guy's eight years old?!"
