Chapter 184: The meeting between the Hokage and the Daimyo
The capital of the Fire Country, which covers an area of more than 50 kilometers, is home to about one-third of the people of the Fire Country.
Uchiha Sasuke and his party came to the national capital, and both Shion and Naoki were about to see flowers.
The prosperity here is not comparable to that of Konoha, and if you look closely, the capital already has a hint of a modern city.
The neon signs at the entrance of the store, the endless stream of people, and the two or three shouts from time to time all represent the prosperity of this place.
You must know that this kind of scene is rare in Konoha, but in the national capital, it is basically like this every day.
The group followed the Chancellor's carriage to the other party's mansion, and along the way, Shion and Naoki exclaimed incessantly, which was frequently eye-catching.
"That's amazing!" Looking at the golden gate in front of him, Naoki couldn't help but exclaim!
In Naoki's heart, I'm afraid that the entire Konoha doesn't have such a luxurious compound.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer stepped out of the carriage, a plump middle-aged man with a gold chain around his neck, several agate rings on his right hand, and two black-green balls on his left hand.
The Minister of Finance didn't even look at the four of Uchiha Sasuke, and walked directly into the courtyard with the help of the servants.
"Mission accomplished, let's rest here for the night, and go back to the village directly tomorrow!"
Sasuke Uchiha said to the three of them.
"Ahh Teacher, can you stay here for a few more days! Naoki said directly, obviously, the prosperity of the national capital made him a little infatuated!
Shion also looked at Sasuke Uchiha with expectant eyes.
Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Itachi and noticed that there was also a hint of longing in his eyes, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll give you an extra day!" ”
"A few ninja-sama, if you're not in a hurry, you might as well stay a few more days, it just so happens that Hokage-sama is still in the city, you can go back together!" The butler of the Chancellor of the Exchequer came to the four and said.
This is a year-old man, and the clothes on his body are not expensive clothes.
Not only him, but also the others had nothing of value on them.
"Oh, is Daddy here too, what is he doing here!" Naoki said with some surprise.
"It turned out to be the son of Hokage-sama, what a rude, Hokage-sama is meeting with the Daimyo, and I heard that this meeting has been going on for many days!" When the butler heard that Naoki was the son of the Hokage, he became even more respectful.
"Alright, old man, now that the mission is complete, then we should also go!" Uchiha Sasuke directly interrupted their conversation, otherwise, with this old man's eloquence, he didn't know how long he would have to speak.
Along the way, they have seen the power of this old man!
After the four of them said goodbye to the housekeeper, they found a hotel to stay in.
At this time, the Daimyo Mansion, Rope Tree and the three generations of Hokage are having a fierce quarrel with the Daimyo and the Minister of the Fire Country!
"No, if you want to reduce taxes, it's absolutely impossible, Daimyo, this kind of thing must not be agreed."
The one who spoke was a thin old man who looked about the same age as the third Hokage, but who was the chief staff member of the Daimyo's Mansion.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire, on the other hand, was a man younger than the Rope Tree, wearing a light green samurai robe, with a ball head on his head, and two long knives pinned to his waist, apparently a samurai with a double sword stream.
The young daimyo nodded, and then said to the rope tree, "Four generations of Hokage, you can also see that the ministers do not agree to the tax cut!" ”
It was supposed to be a matter of reducing the expenses of the daimyo.,Rope tree directly put forward a request for a tax reduction.。
Rope Tree has been here for four days, and generally speaking, this kind of meeting is just a passing scene.
But this time, it lasted four days, and the first three days were all about tax cuts.
At first, some ministers agreed, but later it turned out that although the daimyo did not express his position, he meant that he did not agree to the tax cut.
So gradually, there was more and more opposition, and to this day, there is no minister who agrees to this request of the rope tree!
The three generations of Hokage sighed inwardly, pressed the rope tree that wanted to speak, and said: "Since this is the case, then there is no way, although it is a bit rude, but from today, there is a protection mission for everyone, and it will be restored to the original price!" ”
"What!" As soon as the words of the third generation fell, it caused the others in the room to shake!
"Three generations of adults!" Rope tree glanced at the three generations, these words should have been said by him, but they were preempted by the three generations.
"Fourth Hokage, is this your decision!" The young daimyo looked at the rope tree with a somewhat displeased tone.
Rope Tree took a deep breath, and then spoke: "No, this is a joint proposal by the other elders of the village, and you also know that I have just served as the Hokage, and there are many things that need some guidance from my seniors!" ”
In an instant, the rope tree seemed to have opened its mind, and directly put things aside!
Just as the daimyo blamed the ministers for refusing to cut taxes, so did the decision to restore the cost of the minister's mission to protect the minister.
Rope Tree glanced at the three generations of Hokage and found that the other party showed a look of relief.
Obviously, this is also the reason why the three generations will speak first, because the current three generations are also members of the elder group.
"I'm sorry, Hokage, we still need to discuss the tax cut for a while!"
After a moment of silence, the young daimyo spoke.
"In that case, then we will take our leave, and I hope that the next meeting will have a decision that we are both satisfied with!" The three generations of Hokage nodded and left the conference room directly with the rope tree!
Boom!
After the two left, the young daimyo slapped the table directly, and everyone else trembled and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Let's talk about it, what to do now!" The daimyo said coldly.
"Damn, if they do this, aren't they afraid that we will hand over the task to other countries!" A fat-headed, big-eared minister spoke.
"You look like a pig, are you really a pig, ninjas from other countries, have you ever believed it!" The young daimyo shouted angrily.
As the minister of the Fire Country, he may take in and recruit some wandering ninjas, but he will definitely find out the details of the other party, and the ninjas of the enemy country will definitely not use them indiscriminately.
Otherwise, if war breaks out, they will be the first to die!
"What about neutral countries, ninjas of neutral countries, uh, such as the country of rain!" Another minister spoke.
"Hmph, hiring ninjas from other countries, the cost is the same, and the ninjas in that village will be stronger than Konoha in strength!" The chief of staff spoke.
"I think Konoha sees this, so he will directly threaten us, it seems that there is an amazing character in Konoha Village!"
For a long time, the state only needed an order to reduce the budget of the village, and this was the same regardless of the country, and no village dared to question it.
But now, Konoha dared to resist and even threaten, with what he knew about Konoha, this was obviously not something that those ninjas could do!
