As the winter draws to a close, the shrine that is said to have been used to suppress the Nine-Tails is officially under construction.

Because Zhou Jian Wen either stays at home or leaves the village in advance to avoid the cold every winter, he has long been accustomed to the Konoha villagers who do not have the real boat family in the topic every winter, so he naturally turned the topic to this large-scale project that is about to be launched.

In fact, from the Nine-Tails attack on Konoha to the end of this winter, all kinds of fresh topics in Konoha revolve around the Nine-Tails incident.

From the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, to the Hokage Building, to the Mafune family's Kento, who generously paid Konoha in full, to the daimyo who showed compassion for Konoha and reduced his taxes for one year...... and then where the nine-tailed demon fox was that day.

Compared to the topics that these people are quite interested in, the fact that the Hinata family's Hinata family personally visited Mashu's house and ended up walking away is not so conspicuous and not so important.

As for whether the nine-tailed demon fox was dead or alive after that battle, and where he would be if he survived, the people of Konoha could be said to have a lot of discussions before the high-level did not give an explanation, and the most recognized by the majority of the villagers......

It's still the statement that "the four generations sealed the nine-tailed demon fox into their son's body".

However, after the Hokage personally explained this "rumor", it was self-defeating - according to the carpenter and mage that the Mafune family hired at the Hokage's request, the Hokage-sama planned to build a shrine on the mountain near the Mafune's house to suppress the "demons".

The reason why it is near the real boat house is because as a descendant of the nobles, Lord Zhen Zhou Jian Min is "righteous and awe-inspiring", and the aura of her and the real boat family where she is is enough to deter demons.

Although neither the carpenter nor the mage revealed what the so-called "demon" was, for the villagers who had just experienced the trauma......

In fact, the answer is self-evident.

For the Zhou Jian Min, who came up with this idea, and the Konoha high-level who rarely agreed with this opinion, this effect is actually the best.

If it is clear that the shrine was built to "suppress the Nine-Tails", not everyone will be convinced of this, and there will even be good people who ask all kinds of questions; But if you only give sporadic information, then everyone will spontaneously associate this information with their own wishes.

Although I am a little reluctant to pay for the real boat family and have to devote energy to managing this shrine that is simply a decoration, but for the real boat family and the boat stream, all the Konoha executives who acquiesced in this matter will be grateful.

In the middle of March, when the cherry blossoms were already budding, in order to discuss the follow-up matters of the construction of the shrine with Bo Feng Shuimen, she was still dressed in an unfashionable winter dress, and in the eyes of passers-by with all kinds of complicated emotions, but without the slightest malice, she slowly walked towards the Hokage building with her secretary ship.

"I heard Fuso say that the cherry blossoms in the suburbs will bloom soon," Veneto walked beside Zhou Jian Min, raising his head to Zhou Jian Wen next to him, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume and even looked much different from his whole aura in other worlds, "Are you going to go cherry blossom viewing with Lord Jian Wen?" ”

Although there are also cherry blossoms in the corpse soul world, after all, there are still many ship girls who have not woken up at that time, and Zhou Jian Min is still in the stage of confusion and exploration of the task, so there are few opportunities to go out to enjoy the cherry blossoms with the collective ship mother.

However, at that time, the Mafune family also had middle finger cherry blossoms, and although it was not as large as the Kuchigi family, the ship girls, including Veneto, would intentionally or unintentionally go to the corner of the garden planted with cherry trees to enjoy the cherry blossoms until the end of the flowering period.

"Cherry blossom viewing? Sounds good," Zhou Jian Wen also knew what Veneto meant, she thought about it according to Veneto's suggestion, and confirmed her recent physical condition, "Then let's go, but it's better to change places." ”

The comprehensive Si Zhenzhou family has the largest family and the largest population, but let her take three hundred ship girls with unfamiliar faces and don't know where they came from......

It's really too ostentatious.

Veneto understood what Zhou Jian Wen meant, but it didn't matter where he was, as long as Zhou Jian Wen loosened his mouth.

She smiled and nodded, and almost patted her chest and told Zhou Jian Wen that she would definitely arrange the itinerary within three days - in fact, Veneto was not interested in cherry blossom viewing itself, but if it was with Zhou Jian Wen and the other ship girls......

She found this seemingly meaningless behavior to become interesting.

"Sakura ......"

Just as Zhou Jian and Veneto were thinking about what to prepare for cherry blossom viewing—after all, they had no experience either—when they heard an unfamiliar female voice not far away, and Zhou Jian and Veneto looked at the owner of the voice, only to see a pregnant woman wearing a loose dress with a big belly.

It seemed that she had noticed the sight of the two, and the pregnant woman who had originally sighed at the spring cherry blossoms smiled at them a little embarrassedly.

Sensing that his wife's gaze had turned away, the man standing next to the pregnant woman with luggage also looked at them, but after just one glance, he exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Jianwen, long time no see!" ”

There are many people in the village who know Zhou Jianwen, but there are really not many people who can come forward to greet her so naturally, and even call her "Miss Jianwen".

Zhou Jianwen looked at the man who looked like a good husband at home and thought for a few seconds, and when the other party's appearance coincided with a certain shadow in her memory, she immediately showed a smile, "Long time no see, Haruno-kun, how are you doing?" ”

This middle-aged man named Nobutaka Haruno and Shin Mafune were at the same time, and although they were not assigned to a class with a mentor, they were classmates.

To be precise, he is one of the few classmates who survived the two ninja wars.

"Thank you, I've been doing well lately," the man who had experienced the wind and waves scratched his hair, looking embarrassed, but he didn't forget to ask, "Is Miss Jianwen's recent health okay?" ”

It's not a secret that his old classmate's health is not good in Konoha as a whole, and it's not surprising that Nobutaka Haruno would ask such a question.

"It's all right," it has been several months since she came to this world, and she has inherited the memory of Shinshu Jianwen, who has long been accustomed to such greetings, so she then glanced at the pregnant woman standing next to Shintaka Haruno, so she asked jokingly:

"Tell me about it?"

It seems that he saw the ridicule in Zhou Jianwen's expression, whether it was Nobutaka Haruno or the pregnant woman, they were a little embarrassed.

But even if he was embarrassed, Nobutaka Haruno still introduced to Minoru Funaken with a thick sweet smile and a proud face, "This is Sanae Uchiko, and our child Sakura." ”

"First meeting, Miss Kenwen," Sanae Haruno slightly owed to Funaka Min, "I beg your pardon for being rude." ”

She was referring to both the previous words that attracted the attention of Zhou Jian Min, and the fact that she was unable to salute the other party properly.

"Please don't care, it's me, I was absent from the wedding of the two before, and I still have some regrets," Zhou Jian Wen waved her hand, she remembered that Zhen Zhou Jian Wen did receive an invitation from this classmate that day, but because Zhen Zhou Jian Wen happened to be seriously ill at that time, so she pushed away all the invitations.

The Haruno couple naturally knew that Zhou Jianwen was not in good health at that time - I heard that even the daimyo invited her to a banquet in the city was politely rejected by her, let alone others.

"Speaking of which, I just heard Haruno-kun say that the child's name is Sakura?" Zhou Jianwen blinked, and suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly confirmed, "That should be a girl?" ”

Sanae Haruno, who is about to become a mother, propped her left hand behind her waist, gently rubbed her bulging belly with her right hand through the dress, and smiled happily and sweetly, "Yes, because the due date is exactly in the flowering period of cherry blossoms, so Shintaka-kun took this name." ”

Sakura Haruno.

Cherry blossoms blooming in spring.

Zhou Jian Min repeated the name softly, and after a long moment before nodding with a smile, "It's a good name indeed, I think she will be as strong and brave as her name when she grows up." ”

Hearing Zhou Jianwen's wishes, the smiles on the faces of the Haruno couple became a little sweeter.

Seeing that they seemed to be chatting about the same, Veneto took a step forward and reminded Zhou Jianwen in a low voice, "Lord Jianwen, the time is almost up. ”

Nobutaka Haruno, who is now a working ninja, naturally didn't miss Veneto's voice, although he didn't know what he was going to do when he wrote it down, but he also knew that Shujian had always lived in a simple place, and every time he went out, he had more or less important things to do.

So he took the first step and said, "Since Miss Jian Wen still has something to do, then we won't bother." ”

Funakami, who also knew that it was time for him to go to the Hokage Building, nodded, and promised by the way, "I still have something to do today, and I will visit me another day, I hope you two won't turn me away when the time comes." ”

There weren't many people in Konoha who dared to turn away Funaka Min, and Nobutaka Haruno, who understood that his old classmates liked to joke, immediately replied with a smile, "We will prepare delicious cherry blossoms waiting for your arrival." ”

Bidding farewell to the Haruno couple who were going to the hospital next, Zhou Jian Min secretly sighed that this world is really collapsed, fortunately this time she inherited the memory of the real Zhou Jian Wen of this world, otherwise this series of things that came out one after another may scare her directly into the bed.

It's just that she just took a few steps forward, and Zhou Jianwen suddenly turned her head to look behind her, looking at the backs of the couple who were walking together, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Naruto Uzumaki, who was supposed to have both parents dead, is now alive with his parents, and he doesn't want to grow up with the title of "Demon Fox" under his own operation; Sasuke Uchiha, who witnessed his brother's murder when he was young...... She felt that she probably didn't have a chance to change from an innocent toddler to a second-year teenager.

And what about Sakura Haruno, who is in the same class as them?

Will her fate change?

"What's the matter, Lord Jianwen?" Veneto asked with some concern, seeing that Zhou Jian Wen looked worried after retracting his gaze, and Veneto, who knew that Zhou Jian Min's emotions could not fluctuate too much now, was also worried.

Seeing that his appearance frightened his secretary ship, Zhou Jianwen hurriedly smiled and comforted the other party, "Don't worry, I'm nothing." ”

It's just that I suddenly felt a little uneasy.

However, when Funaka arrives at the Hokage Building, her worries quickly turn into something else.

Because it is a cooperative project with the Konoha Village government, there are not a few internal problems. As an investor, even if she said at the beginning that "everything is up to the will of the four generations of Hokage in this matter", but when it comes to some issues, she has to come and make such a trip herself.

Although the advisory group felt that Zhou Jianwen's proposal was good, it was not counting the previous restoration work, which was also a rare civil engineering project with official investment in the village after the Third Ninja World War, and it would be too wasteful to suppress a fake container that did not actually seal the Nine-Tails.

Since we have to do the same, it is better to make it bigger.

It would be a good choice if it could become a public facility.

The genius of the advisory group immediately made it difficult for the finance department, the designers of the shrine, and the craftsmen in charge of the construction, and in fact they had already drawn the drawings, calculated the works, and even allocated the budget already this winter.

According to the advisory panel, then everything has to start from scratch.

Sitting in a chair and listening to the advisory group's repeated statements that "since we want to do it, we must make it bigger, and it is related to the Nine-Tails, we must have heavy troops to defend it", and Bo Fengshuimen, who had taken time out of the mountains of documents to receive these two consultants, was the first to show a look of distress.

He really didn't know why these two senior consultants didn't say anything at the beginning, but they had a whim when the construction period was about to begin.

Don't they really know that this is going to cause trouble?

Zhou Jianwen, who listened to the genius thoughts of the advisory group with Bo Feng Shuimen, quietly glanced at the people around her, and after seeing the expression on the other party's face that was distorted to almost catch up with the villain, she immediately understood that the other party was also dissatisfied at the moment but could not publish it.

In fact, she could more or less guess what Bo Feng Shuimen was thinking at the moment, but the answer to his question was not difficult to answer.

She glanced at the advisors who were already talking quickly, and when one of them picked up the teacup and tried to moisten his throat and continue his efforts until he said to them, she said coldly, "Actually, you don't need to call me here today. ”

As soon as Zhou Jianwen, who had not made a sound, made a statement from the time the advisory group began to state her views, the two advisors sitting in front of her, and Bo Fengshuimen, who was sitting next to her, immediately turned their heads to look at her.

Not only a few of them, but the other related people who had the honor to listen to the high-level discussion meeting of Konoha today, but because their status was inferior to these four people, they could only stand and observe, also looked at Zhou Jian Min, wanting to hear what she had to say.

Although their status is not as high as that of the four generations, after all, the matter discussed today is closely related to their jobs, so as soon as the advisory group spoke, they heard it famously.

Where is this to rationalize the use of the shrine?

It's clearly a bend to let Zhoujian Min, one of the investors, pay more out of his pocket!

Zhou Jianwen did not respond directly to the advisory group, but only asked the person in charge of the finance department to bring the original budget list. Zhou Jianwen, who took over the budget list, didn't even look at it, and directly pressed the list in front of the advisory group.

"This is my investment project, and I have promised the Mafune family half of the cost based on the budget sheet for the 'Shrine Project to Build a Shrine Project to Suppress the Container with the Nine Tails', and based on this budget result, I promised the Mafune family half of the cost to the fourth generation."

Zhou Jianwen used her slender and white index finger to tap on the estimated total amount column, and then sat up straight, "Indeed, I have also promised that the Zhenzhou family will uphold the principle of more subsidy and less compensation on this project, but if the two consultants insist on expanding the scale, then there are only two options for the next step." ”

"First, the two of you will bear the extra costs," Zhou Jian Min stretched out his right index finger, and then added a middle finger to the advisor whose face changed suddenly, "Second, this project is over, please consider the suppression of the container that sealed the Nine-Tails on your own." ”

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, but she was secretly observing the expressions of the two, "My physical condition should be clear to the two of you, and you can't withstand too many emotional fluctuations, if you can't make a decision right away." ”

"Then I'll have to choose the option that I can make my own decisions."

Zhuan Xiaochun's face was solemn, "If you don't build a shrine, aren't you afraid that the container of the Nine Tails will be made public and end up in the hands of others!" ”

The real container of the Nine-Tails is Naruto, the only son of the four generations of Hokage—only a few high-ranking people and Funakami are known about this in the village; Because there were unaware outsiders present, Koharu naturally couldn't say it explicitly, but it was implying that if this matter was yellow, Naruto's life would also be in danger.

Hearing the advisory group mention his son, Bo Feng Shuimen's face suddenly became a little bad, and Zhou Jian Wen immediately snorted coldly when he saw this, "If the container of the Nine Tails is made public, the first person whose lives will be worried is the two who keep the container right now." ”

Now everyone in the village knows that the "container with the Nine-Tails seal" is guarded by two advisors in turn, and if anyone really covets the power of the Nine-Tails, the first person in charge of guarding it must be the one who suffers.

Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu secretly gritted their teeth, and suddenly understood why Zhou Jian Min and Bo Feng Shuimen insisted on asking them to guard the "Nine-Tails Container" that day.

It is said that "because both sides are investors, they can't get their hands dirty", but in fact, it is for this day.

"But I remember that Miss Mashu has already signed the contract," Mito Menyan saw that his companion was blocked by Zhou Jianwen's words, and immediately wanted to take the contract to say something, "There is your signature and seal on it, does Miss Mashu want to deny it?" ”

This time, Zhou Jianwen directly asked Veneto to take out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago, and then put the contract in front of the two of them, she actually pointed to the small print next to the title of the contract, and then pointed to the small print on the budget sheet.

Only then did the two find that the two documents were marked in small print with "Final Plan A".

"In other words, only this set of plans can get half of the financial support of the Zhenzhou family," Zhou Jianwen smiled at the two advisors in front of him, "I can think of the previous words as if the two of them had presbyopia, so I didn't see the bid mark on the contract." ”

- This is turning a corner to say that the two of them are old and dizzy.

"Now that the validity of the contract has been reconfirmed, what else do you want to say?"

Mito Menyan and Zhuan Xiaochun glanced at each other, and then slammed the door directly with a cold face and left, leaving behind Bo Feng Shuimen, who was holding his forehead and sighing, and a room of related personnel who had already been impressed by the mighty and domineering of Zhou Jian Min.

Zhou Jianwen calmed the relevant personnel who were obviously frightened just now, and waited until they all left the conference room before he spoke to Bo Feng Shuimen, who seemed to be thinking something with a calm face:

"It's not easy for an advisory group to come and ask for an expansion of the shrine for no reason."

If the scale of the shrine is expanded, the budget must also be increased, and the Zhenzhou family, who promised to be responsible for half of the expenses, will inevitably have to increase the amount - although the Zhenzhou family can't afford to pay the money, but Zhou Jian Min himself hates to have a change in the things that have been set, and he hates to be used as a fool.

The advisory group made it clear that they wanted the Zhenzhou family to pay for it, and she was not stupid, how could she just fulfill their wishes.

"It's still one thing, after all, the Hokage's finance department also has to allocate an additional budget," Bo Feng Shuimen folded his fingers in front of his forehead, and thought about the problem of this strange thing with his eyes closed, "I'm concerned about a few other issues right now." ”

Zhou Jianwen wanted to say that in fact, the advisory group also had various ways to pit the medicine package of the real Zhou family under the banner of grandeur without hurting Konoha finances, but looking at the Bo Feng Shuimen, who was already having a headache, she still didn't say it in the end.

"First, why would the advisory group come to find fault when the construction period is about to start for no reason," Zhou Jian Wen said along with Bo Feng Shuimen's words, "As usual, they should be the ones who want everyone to take their eyes off the real container of the Nine-Tails." ”

Since the earliest human pillar power whirlpool Mito of the Nine-Tails, the Nine-Tails have always been the inherent property of Konoha, and as advisors who care about Konoha, they are naturally the ones who want the Nine-Tails to stay in Konoha safely.

Why is there a sudden stirring up in this matter today?

Bo Feng Shuimen nodded, "Second, what are the benefits of expanding the shrine for them, except for the fact that they can get more benefits from the Zhenzhou family?" Or is it important? ”

The ultimate goal of the advisory group was not to disrupt the matter, but rather to build the shrine in the end, which must have been expanded as they say.

"Third ......"

Zhou Jian Wen and Bo Feng Shuimen glanced at each other, and said in unison-

"Why are they insisting that the shrine must be open to the outside world, but they still have to guard it with heavy troops."

"Why did they make the shrine a public facility, but also emphasize heavy guards?"
