The second young master of the Uchiha family

"I hope you will forgive me for missing the mark..."

Miroku mother and daughter were having a secret conversation. Zuosuke, who was a light bulb, was arranged to the side hall and was personally entertained by the captain of the shrine maiden's bodyguards, Ashiro. Ashui knelt down on the tatami and handed Zuosuke a cup of tea. Regarding the Hokage-sama's remarks,

I was shocked in person.

The Hokage has a very high status. He is the one who controls all the military power of the most powerful country. As long as the Hokage is not happy with a small country like the Demon Country, he will definitely become unknown on the map within three days.

Moreover, there are still two and a half days of traveling among the three days. Faced with such a high-ranking and powerful person, Ashho has to think about his words countless times before he speaks, for fear of upsetting the Hokage-sama and causing the ghost's death.

All the common people in the country will become slaves of the country overnight, and it may even turn the miko-sama into a canary in a cage.

"Calm down..."

Seeing the frightened look on Ashho's face, Zuosuke waved his hands and said casually: "I came to the Ghost Country this time entirely because of Ms. Miroku's request. I have never been interested in the remote small country. Maybe I can get it by fighting.

None of the profits can fill the gaping hole in military spending."

"It can be seen that I have no ill intentions towards you. After all, Ms. Maitreya and I are good friends."

Zuosuke dispelled Ashho's worries with good reason, because there is indeed no material worth peeking into the Demon Country. The only valuable power of the shrine maiden has taken root and blossomed in the Uchiha family nursery. The Demon Country, which only has agriculture, has been attacked.

The country... maybe Zuozhu can really pay for everything.

The Godaime Hokage's reputation for greed has already spread far and wide since the Five Kage Conference. He used the power of one country to defeat the three kingdoms of Thunder, Earth, and Wind. Later, he also brought in the Kingdom of Water to exert extreme pressure and trampled on the finances of the three kingdoms.

The bottom line is blackmail, causing all the Hidden Villages of the Three Kingdoms to tighten their belts.

The Daimyo of the Fire Country held banquets one after another to celebrate the victory of the Fifth Hokage, which caused the Fire Country's border to loosen and expand for some reason, allowing the Daimyo's territory to expand for no reason.

Therefore, there are rumors in the ninja world that the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Sasuke really doesn't do anything if he doesn't do human affairs.

Just like a gangster, they are all shameless!

"By the way, how is the Underworld Sect doing now? Let them in if there is nothing to do. There is no need to use human lives to delay their siege. After dealing with the riots in the Kingdom of Demons, I will go back to entertain the Fifth Mizukage."

After Ashho calmed down a little, Sasuke asked about the situation in the Kingdom of Demons.

There is no good way to deal with the riots in the Kingdom of Ghosts, because the Underworld Sect is just a ragtag group of people. They have received rewards from monsters and sprites and have power. If you want to destroy the Underworld Sect, you will have to force an army to overthrow the entire Kingdom of Ghosts. Anyone who is related to the Underworld Sect will be killed.

Without mercy, kill all those who believe in and know the Huangquan Sect to death.

Either wait and wait for the top leaders of the Underworld Sect to come and kill the most capable ones, and use appeasement policies to gradually try to do so.

The first method is not a solution, and Miroku will never agree to it, so Sasuke can only ask Ashho to prepare the second method, using the shrine maiden as bait to fish out the senior officials of the Underworld Sect and kill them with a quick knife.

Then, as Hokage, he formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Demons and sent the Inaba family troops to eliminate all rebels.

If Shion hadn't been his stepdaughter, Zuosuke wouldn't have bothered to take care of these thankless things.

From Naruto's point of view, small countries do not deserve peace at all. The more chaotic they are, the better for big countries. Not to mention annual alliance fees and protection fees, money is needed to purchase armaments and launch riots to ask big countries for help.

Even if the root cause of the problem could be eliminated, Zuosuke would order those people to live.

In this way, we can enhance our influence on small countries and prevent small countries from causing trouble for themselves when they become rich.

For things like the Kingdom of Ghosts, if there was no Maitreya connection here, in the file responding to the shrine maiden's request for help, there would only be one sentence from Zuosuke himself: "Clear out half of the senior leaders of the Underworld Sect and suppress them, and collect reasonable tasks from the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Remuneration and casualty pensions. And make suggestions for the entry of the Ninja Legion to collect appropriate fees."

Taxes from the Kingdom of Ghosts were used to raise ninjas for the Kingdom of Fire, and garrison expenses were gradually increased to rationalize the extortion behavior.

After a long time, the miko from the land of ghosts went to Zuosuke's bed and drank with him, but she couldn't pay off the high debt.

………………

"Have you finished talking about the matter? I have asked Ashui to gradually relax the city defense, and use the shrine maiden as a bait to attract the jounin from Huangquan..."

At midnight, Zuosuke, who was drinking sparkling water and reading a book, turned his head to look at the figure outside the Japanese paper door, and said something about the adjustment of the overall defense of the Ghost Country. Maitreya opened the door and entered the bedroom, taking a look at Mongolia.

Zuosuke, who was reading while his eyes were closed, cursed slightly in his heart: I really wonder how a blind man reads...

"I have no opinion......"

Maitreya looked slightly tired, and did not put forward any opinions on Zuosuke's arrangements. Maitreya knew that he had no talent in management and war, but Zuosuke was able to lead a country to win the war at a young age, and carried out the process in an orderly manner.

Reconstruction of the post-war economy.

If you want to question his decision-making, you must argue with him with reasonable grounds. Maitreya doesn't think she is as sharp as him, and she doesn't care about those things now and just wants to find a place to rely on.

Since Maitreya died and escaped, Shion automatically inherited the position of miko. She is in a high position and cannot freely control the ability to predict death. As a result, Shion has been sitting alone in the position of holy miko. Shion has been living a very happy life.

Lonely, there are not many people to talk to except Ashoka.

After learning about her daughter's sad and lonely childhood, Maitreya felt very uncomfortable, but she still comforted Shion as a mother until she fell asleep.

All the grievances Ziyuan had suffered over the years were packed up for Maitreya, which made her physically and mentally exhausted.

After Shion fell asleep, Maitreya came to Zuosuke's bedroom and didn't say much. He quietly leaned on Zuosuke's chest, hoping to get some comfort.

Although she is Shion's mother, she is only limited to Shion when she was a child. Maitreya, who was destined to become a shrine maiden since birth, received an elite education. In fact, she did not have many experiences of being pregnant as a girl. Shion's experiences in these years have made her not good at all.

Maitreya's words were filled with guilt and sadness, which made Maitreya very uncomfortable.

This was the first time after Ziyuan fell asleep that Maitreya took the initiative to ask Zuosuke for help. Otherwise, usually Maitreya would not take the initiative but would not resist Zuosuke. When he came, he would be passive and enter the state before entertaining him.

"?!"

Across a courtyard, Ziyuan woke up because she could not hold her mother. She looked at the two figures reflected in the candlelight on the paper door with a shocked face. The light and shadow on the head of one of the figures shocked Ziyuan.

The mother... threw herself into the arms of another figure, and in the flickering candlelight, Ziyuan even saw the female figure actively reaching out to hug the other figure, and the circular light and shadow seemed to be kissing each other.

As the light and shadow in it sat upright, a larger light and shadow faded from the shoulders, and the candlelight in the room disappeared.

Ziyuan, who had never had a good rest because of the domestic rebellion, felt the world was spinning. She leaned back and hit the wooden walkway heavily, making a low and muffled sound that echoed in the courtyard.

Before coma... Ziyuan's mind was filled with only one sentence echoing: "Mother... is it because she has a family outside that she never came back?"

In less than a moment, orchid flames lit up the dormitory where the lights had been turned off. The left assistant, whose upper body was exposed, looked sideways at the door and said back: "Just now... it seemed that our daughter was peeping. Now she is so angry."

fainted?"

"?"

Maitreya slowly typed a question mark.

Zi Yuan fainted?

...I'm going to faint too, please hold on.
