321. Baby Boomer × Cabinet Meeting
.....
A week is fleeting,
Immediately afterward, Nara Shikaku began the life of the executive deputy Hokage again,
Fortunately, the return of Nara has made his state and mentality better.
After all, there are people above who are responsible for everything, and it is a different concept from bearing all the consequences of decision-making by yourself.
Just like a worker and an entrepreneur, the former wants to go to work and fish and get an efficient salary.
The latter requires careful decision-making to ensure the survival and development of the enterprise.
And although Nara returned from the event, he didn't take on much work, and only made decisions on important matters.
But for Nara Shikaku, it's a good thing worth relaxing.
With the clan brother of the god of the modern ninja, Nara Shikahisa can also make decisions about Konoha more freely.
At this moment, Nara was fishing in the Hokage's office, and Nara Shikahisa was writing the side.
"Anyway, now that the Hokage's mission is so heavy, you still dare to do two things?"
Nara teased at the working Nara Shikaku,
"Use a shadow clone to work, and the main body practices at home?"
"Aren't you afraid of a head explosion?"
If you want to talk about the Hokage's workload, with the physical strength of Nara at the beginning, he will be busy and a little unable to move.
Between the words, Nara didn't have the slightest consciousness as the fourth generation of Hokage, as if Nara Shikaku was the Hokage,
Nara Shikaku smiled bitterly and nodded,
"Brother Broken, there's no way around it.."
"If I don't concentrate on two things, then my cultivation will be completely lost."
"It's not good in the Nara clan or in the Konoha hierarchy.."
"Fortunately, I've been cultivating the art of eating immortals for a long time..."
"A little bit of shadow clone backlash, but I can still withstand it.."
Nara Shikahisa seems to have his own ideas, and he doesn't plan to leave behind in cultivation because of power.
And in this transcendent world, the essence of the world is that the strong are respected, and Nara Shikaku's choice is naturally right,
Nara won't say much, and now it's hard to work hard for Lu Jiu.
Even if there are any sequelae, it is not a difficult problem for Nara to solve.
"Enlightenment is good.."
Nara made a rare boast,
"What I didn't expect was to take advantage of my absence.."
"You still got married secretly?"
This is the news that Nara only found out yesterday, and I was a little surprised, but I was immediately relieved.
According to the tradition of the ninja world, fifteen or sixteen years old is already a marriageable age, let alone eighteen or nineteen years old in Nara.
And in fact, what the patriarch wants to urge most is actually Nara Judgment,
But now that Nara has a very high prestige, his strength and identity are higher than that of him, the patriarch, where do you dare to really urge,
Therefore, the patriarch of Nara could only pick soft persimmons and pinch them, found Nara Lujiu, and finally succeeded in urging marriage.
Speaking of this, Nara Lujiu's face turned slightly red, and it seemed that he was quite satisfied with the object of marriage.
"Yes.."
"Father always urges so.."
Nara smiled dumbly when he saw Nara Lujiu's twisted appearance,
"Alright,"
"Young man, I understand."
"I just haven't had time to wish you a happy wedding."
Nara sincerely blessed that he still has feelings for this brother who has always followed him.
"As for the gifts.."
When Nara Lujiu heard the word gift, he immediately put down the document in his hand with a look of expectation.
He knew that the realm that Nara had reached now was unimaginable, and that he had been to other wonderful worlds.
The things he took out were all good, just like the Devil Fruit he had eaten a week earlier.
"Now that the marriage is married, it seems that the children are not too far away.."
Nara smiled a little,
"I'll count the gifts with the birth of the child..."
"If you want.."
"I still have to work harder...."
Nara Lujiu was angry when he heard this, and he knew that Nara was deliberately teasing himself, but he still began to look forward to what good things Nara could give after the child was born.
But immediately, Nara's Shikahisa's expression began to bitter again,
If you want to have a baby in a hurry, you won't even have many opportunities to rest at night...
Just when Nara Shikaku was bitter about his hard life, Yakushi Nonoyu pushed the door and came in,
"Four generations of adults.."
"The elders of the cabinet have arrived."
Nara nodded and got up and left his seat, while Nara Shikahisa and Yakushi Nonoyu also consciously followed,
Today is a cabinet meeting once a month, and the Hokage needs to be present.
And it was also the first cabinet meeting after Nara came back, so Nara still has to be careful about this.
...
Hokage's office, the conference room directly below,
Five familiar figures sat together in a circle, their expressions clean,
No matter how easy-going and relaxed he is on weekdays, in this Konoha power center, he can't help but become serious.
And some of the other people know that today's cabinet meeting is a little different.
Sure enough, I watched Nara wear a casual outfit, go straight into the house, and sit down at the highest place,
"Everyone..."
"Looks like I haven't seen you in a while.."
Nara didn't mean to hide anything.,Absolute strength is enough for him to ignore all criticism.,
And it was precisely because of this that when the five cabinet members saw the lines on Nara's severed head, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.
The fact that his own shadow disappeared for a whole year after taking office did not have the slightest benefit in publicizing it.
"Four generations of adults..."
"It's nice to see you again.."
The first to speak was Uchiha Fugaku, this old boy has become more and more sleek since he took over the Criminal Law Department.
In the face of Nara's broken thigh, he didn't mean to be embarrassed at all, and during the period when Nara was broken, he also kept licking the four generations of Hokage.
"Four generations of adults..."
And the others are not stupid people, they have followed closely and said some homely scenes,
Nara swept over one by one, looking at the changes in these Konoha high-level leaders over the past year,
The patriarch of Nara doesn't seem to have changed, but because of the revitalization of the family, the presence of a son, and the practice of the art of eating immortals, his face is younger than before.
Hinata Hinata and Uchiha Fugaku, it seems that in order to maintain the majestic image of the cabinet elders, they began to grow beards, and their expressions were more serious at the meeting.
Tsunade is still wandering in the world, and his white face is absent-minded, and it seems that he is idle like this every day.
And it's true that the Ministry of Medicine, compared to other departments, has not carried out any major reforms at all.
Even if Tsunade has something, he is muted, and he only gambles or drinks every day with the funds of the medical department.
However, with Tsunade's outrageous gambling luck, Nara is not afraid of losing the funds.
Because Konoha's casinos have long been ordered to be rectified by Nara, there are basically no private casinos, and even if there are, they are petty fights.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Crossing over from the previous life, as a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, Nara naturally knows the dangers of gambling.
Therefore, for the casinos in Konoha territory, Nara ordered rectification when he took office.
But because there is a special profession of ninja in this world, the mental pressure is very huge, so Nara didn't kill him with a stick.
Instead, a large casino with Konoha Holdings was set up, and only ninjas were allowed to enter and exit, serving ninjas.
As for Tsunade's daily losses, for Nara Judgment, it was just a left-handed reversal of the right hand, and a change of hand to take the money.
"Watergate seniors..."
Nara looked at the only one of the five who was silent, with a serious expression, and he was also the youngest Bo Feng Shuimen,
Bo Feng Shuimen has indeed obviously matured a lot more in the past year, and it is obvious that the affairs of the ninja school have given him some experience.
"Four generations of adults.."
Bo Feng Shuimen was stunned, he didn't expect Nara to call his name first,
But Nara is concerned about other things,
"I heard that you and Kushina had a boy?"
Nara had a hint of a smile, as if it was just the usual greeting,
Bo Feng Shuimen was even more stunned when he heard this, and some didn't react.
Good guy, didn't you attend the banquet where Naruto was born at the time, why do you still ask such a question,
But when I think of some strange performances around the year of Nara Break, and the temperament that seems to be new now, as well as the lines on the forehead that have never appeared,
Bo Fengshuimen, who has always been reluctant to think about it, can't help but have that idea in his heart again,
"Sure enough, the four generations of adults have not been in Konoha this year..'
'Instead, they went somewhere else..'
'The four generations before ..'
Bo Feng Shuimen turned his eyes and looked at the pharmacist Ye Naiyu behind Nara's broken body,
Presumably, only this 'walking shrine maiden' can play the role of four generations of adults without revealing too many flaws.
"Yes, four generations of adults.."
"Call Naruto, Naruto Naruto..."
Although he was slightly shocked in his heart, he still had a happy smile on his face, obviously his family life was very happy.
Nara nodded,
'Naruto Naruto.'
'It seems that history has been completely changed..'
'Then it will be the reincarnation of Asura..'
Nara smiled,
"Looks like I have to congratulate you, Watergate-sens."
"There were no gifts for you at the time, and you didn't send congratulatory gifts when you and Kushina got married.."
As he spoke, Nara took out a gift box and flew straight to Bo Feng Shuimen.
"It's kind of a make-up for you."
Bo Fengshuimen was stunned, a little flattered,
You don't have to think about it to know that what Nara can give away with her own hands is naturally of extraordinary value.
But out of politeness, Bo Feng Shuimen just thanked him, and then put away the gift box.
"The blade inside is a talisman for little Naruto.."
Nara explains,
In addition to the unique Yin Seal developed by Nara, the gift box is the leaves of the World Tree, which can prolong people's lives and prevent all diseases if held for a long time.
It can also speed up the recovery from injuries.
And when Uchiha Fugaku saw this, he really couldn't sit still,
"Four generations of adults.."
Uchiha Fugaku smiled, for fear that Nara would never remember him,
"Actually, my second child, Zuosuke, was also born almost at the same time as the child of Watergate.."
"Ahem.."
A coughing sound came from Hinata Hinata's mouth,
I didn't expect Uchiha Fugaku to be so shameless, and he almost asked Nara for a gift.
Nara also laughed dumbly when he heard this,
This Uchiha Fugaku, who hasn't seen him for a year, seems to be the same as him, as if he has changed someone, and he doesn't want it at all.
The other cabinet members also had different expressions when they heard this, obviously a little uncomfortable with Uchiha Fugaku's behavior.
"Alright..."
Nara broke off his hand, and a leaf of the World Tree appeared in front of Uchiha Fugaku's table, flashing with milky white life qi,
Since it has been proposed, it is naturally impossible for him to favor one over the other.
And originally Nara was still a little unsure whether Naruto was still the reincarnation of Asura, but looking at the appearance of Sasuke who was born after him,
Most likely, it should be.
Uchiha Fugaku looked at the shiny leaves on the table and picked it up with his hand,
Suddenly, a warm current rose from the leaves and penetrated into all aspects of his body.
The strange life energy slowly repaired the dark wounds and tiredness in his body, making his body clear and his spirit a lot better.
Even under the fluctuation of the body, I involuntarily opened the writing wheel.
And everyone in the cabinet is at least the strong of the elite forbearance, so they naturally discovered this change,
Apparently this leaf is a good thing,
Suddenly Hinata Hinata regretted it a little, why was he thin-skinned just now, and he didn't ask for it,
His daughter was born within a year...
This wave of post-war Konoha baby boom is still very turbulent, basically twelve small strong, except for Nara Shikamaru because of the butterfly effect of Nara Broken has not been born, but it is also fast,
The rest of the twelve little powerhouses were born.
No matter how Hinata Hinata regrets it, but there is no chance,
Because Nara had already spoken, he shifted the conversation to business.
The next part is the report of the elders.
"After a year of development.."
"There has been a significant development in the Land & Population Department for which I am responsible.,"
"A large area of land outside Konoha Village was planned for experiments.."
"With the invention of the 'Birth Potion' by the Ministry of Scientific Research..."
"There is also our self-developed ninjutsu that helps in the process of cultivating the land.."
"Quantitative and planned crop cultivation has been implemented.
"Now we can produce three to five times as much grain as before."
"And the quality is also much better than the previous one.."
Hinata Hinata was the first to speak, and the tacit understanding started directly from a year ago, rather than inheriting the content of last month's cabinet,
"And it has already begun to be exported and sold.."
"Konoha Village has changed from a state of importing grain to exporting..."
Although Hinata Hinata has not been exposed to the content of cultivated land before, he can clearly understand the importance of food.
As the foundation of human beings and the head of all industries, food is naturally an extremely important existence.
The ability to increase grain production will undoubtedly solve the problem of the people's survival and the major premise for the launch of the war.
"But..."
Hinata paused, and there was a fear in his expression,
"The Daimyo's side has a lot of complaints about our grain exports."
"Because our food is cheap and of better quality,"
"It has affected the interests of their nobles.."
"The nobles are already planning to go to the daimyo and sanction our Konoha for meddling in food."
Obviously, such a thing is not something that Hinata Hinata can handle, after all, it involves the most sensitive upper-level politics,
And the status of the daimyo is also extremely special in the land of fire, and even the successor of the Hokage nominally requires the nod of the daimyo.
