Chapter 41: The Fourteenth Year of Konoha

After the end of the Five Shadows Talks, a major event that attracted the attention of the entire ninja world, the ninja world was calm again, but after each ninja village obtained the tailed beast, not only did not decrease, but became more and more active in private.

Xue Hui stayed in Konoha for a short time, and cooperated with the enchantment team led by Mito to reapply the expanded Konoha to a more effective protective barrier, and at the same time gained a lot of practical experience in large-scale enchantments.

After that, Xue Hui set off again and returned to the Vortex Tide Village in the Vortex Country, but unlike before, Xue Hui, who vaguely felt the dark tide of the ninja world, would come to Konoha every once in a while, in addition to continuing to learn more ninjutsu from the second generation Hokage, he also gave timely feedback to the people in the Vortex Village about the physical condition of the pillars.

That's right, after returning to the pillar after Konoha, he finally completely relieved the Hokage's duties, and now he didn't bother to ask about Konoha at all except for the news he got when he chatted with Kazuma at night, and devoted himself to experiencing life. Although the pillars that people see in the casino are still full of energy and healthy, anyone who knows about the pillars can foresee that the time between the pillars is decreasing little by little.

When you are busy, time is like a white horse passing by, and spring goes and spring comes again.

Fourteen years in the wood industry.

Two years have passed, and Xue Hui's already full time has become even more stretched due to the need to travel between Konoha and Vortex Village. Reluctantly, with the help of the second elder Vortex Reed, it took nearly two years for Xue Hui to understand all the land of the Vortex Country, and a brick-thick "Geography of the Vortex Country" is the best affirmation of Xue Hui's work, and now it has been listed as an important book in the Vortex Country and has been kept in the library cabinet.

After receiving a large amount of investment from the country of vortex, Kachi, the royal merchant of the country of the vortex, finally got a place for his powerful merchant mind, and now he is well-known in the area from the country of fire to the country of water, but he has been instructed by Xue Hui to carry out activities in the name of the country of the vortex, instead of playing the banner of the country of the vortex, he is carrying out activities in the name of the great merchant of the country of waves.

After a period of support, the country of waves has finally improved slightly, with the introduction of foreign materials and talents, docks and shipyards have also taken shape, with the advantages of the country of waves with mountains and forests, I believe that in a few years we will be able to see the results. At the same time, due to the emphasis on maritime trade routes, the Vortex Country was proposed by Yukiki to set up a small port across the strait from the country of waves, and a road was being built at the same time to prevent the transshipment of goods. To this end, the country of the vortex also gathered a lot of displaced people, distributing them to vacant fields and recruiting them to participate in the construction.

After Xue Hui participated in the decision-making of the Vortex Country, the Vortex Country became full of vitality. It's not that the older generation is without this idea, but after going through the Warring States period, they are already more than willing and not enough, and before Xue Hui is born, the mediocre juniors are not worth taking the risk of letting them. Now that there is such a leader as Xuehui, the enthusiasm of the young people has been aroused, and Uzumaki Ashina is also happy to see that even if there are some loopholes, they still haven't stopped it, and the old people believe that the future can be better in Xuehui's hands.

And in Konoha, after Kazuma completely took over the responsibilities of the Hokage, he also began to make some drastic moves, first of all, the system of officially establishing a ninja school, and pushing back the age of graduation to become a shinobi, in order to prevent future talents from withering prematurely because of their youth. As for Xue Hui's six brothers and sisters, they have gradually grown into ninjas in their own right, and have taken important positions in Konoha. With the support of the young patriarchs of the Sarutoshi Village, and the increasing influence of Uchiha Kagami and Akido Fetch in the clan, Kazuma has far more power to speak in the face of Konoha families than Tsuruma. And while ignoring the objections of some ninja clans and expanding the size of the Uchiha garrison, he secretly set up the dark department of Konoha and led it by Kazuma himself, and for a while, Kazuma's prestige in Konoha reached an unprecedented level.

Xue Hui, as the successor of the Vortex Country, naturally took this series of measures in his eyes. He believed that Mr. Kamma also understood the advantages and disadvantages of doing this. In this regard, after negotiating an agreement on strengthening commercial exchanges between the two of them as a representative of the Vortex Country, Xue Hui asked at the door after the others dispersed.

"Teacher, what have you done in the past two years......"

"Why, do you want to admonish like the monkeys? Or are they just monkeys who let you come? After sitting back on the Hokage's work, he said with a paralyzed expression.

Xue Hui shook his head: "I don't think there is anything wrong with this, on the contrary, the future Vortex Country will also learn and use these policies of the teacher, what I want to ask is that although this is beneficial to Konoha, not everyone agrees, for example, the ninja school is for those ninjas who have always cultivated talents within their own family." Did the teacher think about the consequences of himself, or the Thousand Hands absorbing this part of the resentment? This isn't just the country of the Vortex Clan. ”

"Xue Hui, I have to say that your growth in this area in the past two years has far exceeded your progress in ninjutsu, or do you understand these things and only deliberately hide them to protect yourself?" There was a hint of surprise and praise in his tone.

"I ......"

Before Xue Hui could answer, he didn't seem to care much about Xue Hui's answer, and said directly:

"You see something, right?"

"Uncle Tsuruma, he ......" Yukiki has taken over the responsibility of taking care of Kotsunade every time he comes to Konoha a few months ago, which was originally done by Juma, but now he is entrusted to himself by Mito, and since then, Yukiki has realized something.

"Not the problem, you know! I am now communicating with you as your teacher. The tone of the tone intensified.

"Yes, Teacher!" Xue Hui was stunned for a moment, knowing that he couldn't shirk it anymore, so he had to answer truthfully: "Judging from the actions of each ninja village, the time of peace has been tied to the time of Uncle Tsuruma. ”

"Sure enough, you already realized it, and maybe even the monkeys didn't realize it earlier." The one who received the reply nodded in satisfaction.

"So do you have any questions?" The door returned to the topic that Xue Hui had raised earlier.

"No, but teacher, the Thousand Hands Clan is a big family after all, are you really ready to plan?" Seeing that he was still calm, Xue Hui asked curiously.
