The verdant trees are swaying, the courtyard is deep, and the spring is ringing.

Uchiha Fugaku sat across from Shikamaru and took a sip of tea, a refreshing sensation rising from his throat.

Outside the eaves of the courtyard, the sun was blazing, and the shady atmosphere was surrounding, but Uchiha Fugaku's brows were furrowed.

"I originally thought that with the recent call from the lower echelons of Konoha that I would be able to enter the advisory group smoothly. But I didn't expect that Ape Fei Ri Slash was still scheming, and came up with such a thing as the staff committee, which directly turned my efforts into nothing. ”

Shikamaru took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Now that the patriarchs of the major wealthy clans of Konoha have joined this staff group, this department seems to be important, but it is not a department of real power. Konoha's daily chores are handled by this department, which not only reduces the burden on the Hokage, but also calms the raging discussions of the major wealthy families of Konoha who want to participate more deeply in Konoha government affairs. ”

The old spicy spicy of the ape flying day slash has made Uchiha Fugaku's efforts in vain these days.

Shikamaru put down the teacup in his hand, compared to Uchiha Fugaku, he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"But it's not without its benefits."

"What?"

The Uchiha was the patriarch of Konoha but has been marginalized for decades. The route that brought the Uchiha family closer to the commoners was also extremely controversial among the Uchiha family. If it weren't for Fugaku, Obito and Shisui, the three powerhouses who had opened the kaleidoscope, were in favor of it, I am afraid that the opposition of the conservatives in the Uchiha clan would have drowned out Uchiha Fugaku's ears long ago.

The world of ninjas is like this, where the voices of a few elite ninjas can determine the direction of the majority. However, this is not absolute, and Uchiha Fugaku must show his people the correctness of his decisions in order for others to continue to support him.

Therefore, Uchiha Fugaku is extremely eager to enter the upper echelons of Konoha and grasp greater power. In a sense, he did it, although the staff committee is just a fictitious department, it is a high-level Konoha in no sense.

Shikamaru took out a scroll from behind him and handed it to Uchiha Fugaku.

"What is this?"

Uchiha Fugaku opened the scroll, only to find strange words, terms, and patterns written on it.

"It's called a generator! By converting chakra into electricity and laying wires in the village, Konoha Village can be vaporized. I hope you will be able to propose and have the Staff Committee approve at the next meeting of the Staff Committee to build a large power plant in Konoha. ”

This machine is the same model of the heater developed by Orochimaru, but the difference is that the heater converts heat energy, while the generator converts electricity.

Chakra with different attributes and various sealing techniques can easily implement energy conversion and technological upgrades. What Shikamaru needs now is a large number of professionals to fill this transformation, and the huge populations of Konoha and the Fire Nation can meet this condition.

The construction of a power plant is the first step, and the ability to use electricity on a large scale will allow the machines in the factory to be opened by Shikamaru to be produced quickly and in large quantities.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't think it was a great thing and casually put the scroll aside.

"I'll help you with that."

The Uchiha family is an existence that stands at the top of this world, and a single fire escape ninjutsu can easily destroy everything in front of them. Uchiha Fugaku knew that the Shikamaru factory produced something called electric light, and if it was laid on the streets of Konoha, it would make the night light in Konoha bright.

In this way, it will be possible to change the security of Konoha at night, and even the business relationship will be adjusted. It is undoubtedly a good thing for Uchiha Fugaku, who is the captain of the Konoha Garrison.

Sand Hidden Village.

Kazekage Building.

Luo Sha is very busy, not only dealing with the internal affairs of the Sand Hidden Village, but also dealing with the rebellion in the Land of Wind.

As a ninja, Raksha's mission is the most basic mission for the lord. For those rebels, he didn't feel much guilt in his heart.

And the Sand Hidden Village has always practiced an iron-blooded elite policy, and the ninjas sent on missions will not show mercy.

It's just that the biggest problem is in front of Luo Sha, and it is what he has to face as a wind shadow.

One of the sources of income in the ninja system is to accept various tasks and complete them to earn rewards. However, to suppress the rebels, the village had to send a large number of ninjas, and the compensation given by the daimyo of the Land of Wind was far less than the usual reward that the village would receive for accepting the mission.

In order to cope with the situation after the three ninja wars, the village had to reduce the number of ninjas and implement an elite policy. This is related to the fact that the annual supply of materials received by the village was reduced by the daimyo of the Land of Wind.

More importantly, however, the sluggish economy caused by the harsh environment of the Land of Winds, coupled with the fact that the war has reduced the number of potential customers who can afford to submit tasks to the village, has led to the decline of the village.

The Sand Hidden Village is constantly declining, but the Konoha next door is getting stronger and stronger, which is something that the four generations of Wind Shadow Luo Sha can intuitively feel.

In order to narrow this gap, Luo Sha can be said to rack his brains and implement various countermeasures, but the results are very small.

Markey walked into Kazekage's office, his face not looking good.

"What's wrong?"

Raksha looked up at Markey and asked.

"The sea tree has failed."

"Failure? Why, has there been fewer ninjas under his belt? ”

Raksha didn't understand what Maki meant by defeat, and for him, the mission could be called a failure when dealing with the rebels as long as the ninja had a loss.

"It's not! The shogunate army, which had gone to suppress the rebellion, was met with resistance from the rebels, and the army was scattered, and the shogun was seriously wounded. And the ninja team led by Haishu also has a lot of damage! ”

"What did you say?"

Rosa put down the government affairs in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Markey seriously, making sure he wasn't joking.

"Are there ninjas from other countries helping those rebels?"

This was the only reason Raksha could think of for the defeat of the shogunate army.

"Actually, no. It's just that the rebels used a new type of weapon capable of dealing damage to three or four A-rank ninjutsu powers in two minutes. Our ninja was defenseless and was seriously injured by carelessness. ”

"Where's the source of the weapon?"

Luo Sha keenly smelled the abnormality and commanded.

"Yes!" Markey nodded and said, "There's news from the shogunate, and I hope that we, the Sand Hidden Village, will send the Shinobi to help them continue to suppress the rebellion. ”

Luo Sha had a headache and frowned. There is no shortage of people in Shayin Village at the moment, what is lacking is manpower.

"Tell the shogunate that our Kamishinobi from Sunachin Village will arrive."
