248. Triumph

"Huh? What are you doing here? ”

Feeling Nohara Rin's gaze, Hoshino Mu instinctively woke up from his sleep, and when he saw the visitor, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and said casually.

"I'm ready to go, I'll come and see if the lights are still on here."

Nohara Rin said, walking over to Hoshino Maki, consciously looking at the scattered documents around him.

While tidying up, the eyes quickly moved over the documents.

"Something happened to Shouhe?"

Nohara Rin folded the papers, shook them on the table, and asked.

"No" Hoshino Mu stood up, stretched, let out a comfortable moan, and at the same time looked at the lights outside, and said: "I just think that the greater the ability, the greater the workload, there should be no 'people' in Sand Hidden City to eat rice." ”

"What do you need me to do?"

Nohara Rin placed the sorted documents on the left hand side of Hoshino Maki so that he could easily access and flip through them, and said at the same time.

"Don't say it, there really is." Hoshino Mu scratched his head, ignoring the white eyes of Nohara Lin, flipped through the documents that had just been sorted out again, took out a document from it and handed it to the other party: "There are some things in Hong during this time, you are fully responsible." ”

Nohara pursed her lips and took the document handed by the other party.

She just said casually, she didn't expect something to really happen to her, but she didn't read it immediately, but took the document in her hand, looked at Hoshino Mu and asked, "Is there something wrong with Hong?" ”

In her impression, apart from going for two drinks and visiting her father, Red was basically a two-o'clock break between the Kazekage Building and the Kazekage Mansion, and she had never taken a long vacation.

"Well, a little private matter, if you are interested, you can ask her, I'll go back to sleep first."

"Me"

Nohara Rin looked at the back of Hoshino Mu leaving, opened his mouth, and finally had to grit his teeth and pound the table, but because he didn't use chakra, the pink show fist smashed on the hard marble table, which suddenly made Nohara Lin's painful facial features wrinkle, and he inhaled with grinning.

She rubbed her red fist, took several deep breaths in a row, calmed down, and returned to the secretariat with the papers.

Smack——!

Two loud doors closed sound, and then the only light in the entire Kazekage building was turned on, Nohara Lin picked up the document in his hand, glanced at the title, and quickly turned to the end, his eyes thought slightly, and he was no longer annoyed just now.

She looked at Hoshino Maki's request and muttered, "Crane Festival? What the hell is Hoshino Maki doing? ”

Hoshino Maki must not have had time to answer this question for her.

At this time, Hoshino Maki was sitting on the upper seat of the Miya Castle Yan Mansion, discussing with the other party about the surprise for Hakura.

"My lord, the things are ready, and they will definitely satisfy Lord Hakura."

Miya Castle said respectfully.

Hoshino Mu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about your work, those craftsmen must be rewarded." After a while, there will be a jewelry center in Yanyin Village, you ask them, and those who are willing to go can also go, and the treatment will definitely satisfy them. ”

"Since the adults said it, then they must be willing."

Miya Castle Flame had no intention of winning their opinions, and directly responded for them.

Hoshino smiled and didn't speak.

The future 'Merchant of Death' saved him a lot of work, and without them, his workload would be twice as much.

Hoshino Maki controls the economic lifeline of Sunachin Castle, but he does not control it directly, but grasps the general direction, and many things are entrusted to the secretariat and Miya Castle Ink.

Especially on the side of Miya Castle Heat, some things that are not easy for others to know are left to him to complete, and he has never disappointed Hoshino Makii.

The two exchanged a few more words, and suddenly, there was a child's silver bell-like laughter outside, followed by an old man's voice: "Miss, you run slower~"

The two people in the room followed the sound, only to hear a sound of footsteps from far and near, and soon came to the door, a small figure reflected on the grille door, hands on the grille, and forcefully pulled the door open.

"Uncle Hoshino!"

When Xiao Qianno saw Hoshino Mu, he immediately puffed up the dimples on both sides, opened his hands, and kicked his calves fast, and when he came to Hoshino Mu two or three meters in front of him, he jumped into Hoshino Mu's arms.

"Xiao Qiannai, don't you sleep so late?"

"I heard that Uncle Hoshino was here, so I came here on purpose."

Xiao Qianno raised her head, with a posture of 'hurry up and praise me'.

At this time, Ju Yasu appeared outside the door out of breath, and Miya Castle Yan shook his head at Ju Yasu with a smile, and Ju Yasu bowed his head and said respectfully, "Lord Kazekage." ”

Hoshino Maki sat and lifted Xiao Chino high, teasing Xiao Chino with a whine in his mouth, and laughing at Xiao Chiyo.

After putting down Xiao Qiannai, he looked at Ju Kang and nodded with a smile: "Ju Kang, you are also old, it is really difficult for you to run around with Xiao Qiannai, I will prescribe a prescription in a while, you go to the hospital to grab some medicine to recuperate." ”

"Thank you, Kazekage-sama."

Ju Kang hurriedly thanked him, Hoshino Mu waved his hand disapprenosingly, and took out an ordinary-looking stone from his pocket, and a thread was still worn on the stone.

If there's anything unusual about it, it's that it's smooth enough.

Hoshino Mu hung the stone around Xiao Chino's neck and said, "This is a gift that I asked people to bring back from Iwain Village, does Xiao Chino like it?" ”

Xiao Qian's fleshy little hands pinched the stone, tilted his head and frowned, staring at it for a long time before he raised his head and asked the doubts in the hearts of Juyasu and Miya Chengyan.

"Uncle Hoshino, isn't this an ordinary stone?"

Hoshino Mu nodded: "This is an ordinary stone, but the people of Sand Hidden City call it the stone of the town and village." ”

"The Stone of the Town?!"

Miya Castle couldn't help but exclaim.

He traveled south and north, and naturally heard of the famous town and village stone of Yanyin Village, which was the sustenance of the will of the stone, but he didn't expect it to be so. Unique.

Hoshino Mu smiled and explained: "The stone of the town and village is originally a stone in the river not far from Iwakuin Village, if it has any value, it is to polish the superfluous edge of the Tsuchikage of the past dynasties, and become a whetstone of the Tokage's mature and restrained." ”

"Chino, thank you, Lord Kazekage."

Chino didn't know the value of the stone, but Miya Castle knew it.

It is also a prestigious item related to the Tsuchikage, and it is more valuable than ordinary gemstones.

After all, there will be no more earth shadows in the future, and this object will suddenly become an out-of-print collection, and its value can increase several times.

Although Xiao Qianno didn't know why this ordinary-looking stone made his father so excited, he still held the stone, raised his head to look at Hoshino Mu with cute eyes, and said in a glutinous voice, "Thank you, Uncle Hoshino." ”

Hoshino Maki waved his hand disappreciatively and continued to tease Chino.

That town and village stone may be regarded as a treasure in the eyes of others, but Hoshino Maki didn't take it too seriously.

There are still a lot of these things in the Tuying Building, and if it weren't for the emotions of the people in Yanyin Village, he would even want to open an auction and auction these things in batches.

Hoshino Maki stayed in the Imperial Mansion for a long time, and he didn't leave until Kochino was sleepy.

He got home and did another hour of physical training before he washed up and went to sleep, only to be pulled out of his sleep when the morning sun shone through the cracks in the satin curtains on his face.

"My lord, the dark ministry said that the vanguard will arrive this afternoon."

Tumbleweed outside the door knocked on the door of Hoshino's bedroom with breakfast and whispered.

"Is it ahead of schedule?"

Hoshino rubbed his eyes, sat up with a yawn, and finished washing up half-asleep.

Tumbleweed waited for Hoshino Mu to be conscious and began to eat, and then answered Hoshino Mu's question: "I heard that it was the convoy that the Daimyo of Bird Country helped to put together, which made the team move a lot faster. ”

Hoshino Mu swallowed the bread in his mouth and chuckled: "He's afraid that these people will make some trouble in his territory." ”

After speaking, Hoshino Mu thought for a while and said, "Invite him to Moon Bay next year to play." ”

When the tumbleweed heard this, she wanted to speak and stopped.

Hoshino Mu glanced at him, and said angrily: "If you have something, just say it." ”

"My lord, the Daimyo of the Bird Country is already a supreme member of several casinos in Moon Bay."

Hoshino Mu blinked when he heard this, and after a while he spoke: "There are no pants left that didn't lose, right?" ”

The tumbleweed shook like a rattle, and quickly denied: "Of course not!" It's just that the Bird Country's taxes for next year may be sent directly to Sand Hidden City. ”

Hoshino Mu pinched his eyebrows and sighed: "Send a batch of grain." ”

"My lord, do you want to?"

Although the tumbleweed didn't finish speaking, Hoshino Mu already understood what the other party meant, and rolled his eyes: "There are still a lot of things in Yanyin Village, and who do you think can be busy with the country of birds?" Are you or me? Just make sure our roads are clear. ”

The more the population and the more the territory, the better, and the blind annexation will only kill itself.

Hoshino Mu wiped his mouth and ordered: "Remember to prepare for the welcome ceremony, the heroes are triumphant, and no matter how you say it, you must let everyone show their faces in front of the villagers." ”

After Hoshino Mu gave the order, he changed his clothes and started the busy day again, and it was not until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that the dark department informed him that the vanguard of Hoshino Mu was about to come to the city gate.

The roads in Sand Hidden Castle have been expanded several times, and now they have become extremely wide, and long queues under the scorching sun have become less and less common in the past, but today, the scene has reappeared.

Hoshino Maki directly ordered half of the road to be divided into the carriages of the vanguard, and the merchants were sweating in the carriages, blocking the crowded traffic, watching the carriages of the Sand Ninja troops pass by unimpeded by them.

This situation showed them that although Kazekage-sama was very kind to the merchants, in his heart, the ninja was still above them.

Many people even thought about letting the children of relatives and friends go to the ninja school in Sand Hidden City, maybe they would be able to take advantage of the east wind one day and enjoy the treatment of taking a special passage.

The carriage drove directly into the Sand Hidden Castle and drove down the road.

Hoshino Maki's orders were highly executed, and there were flowers on both sides of the road to guide the way.

This direction is not to drive directly to the martial arts arena, but to slowly parade along the main buildings and streets of Sand Hidden City, so that everyone can see what the heroes who conquered Sand Hidden City are like.

The ninjas in the vanguard team poked their heads out of the windows and looked at the flowers on both sides of the road and the applause and praise from the crowd of onlookers.

Suddenly, I felt that the previous wind and food and sleeping in the open, and the blade licking blood in Sand Hidden City, were all worth it.

Luo Sha sat in the carriage at the front, and couldn't help but straighten his waist when he watched all this.

He saw Kagura waving at him with Temari in the stands on the second floor, especially Temari, for fear that he would not be able to see it, and raised his hands high, bouncing around to attract his attention.

Seeing this, Luo Sha leaned out half of his body and also stretched out his hand to wave to the mother and daughter.

When the carriage left the street, Rosha sat back into the carriage and sighed.

The husband should be like this~

Will Hoshino Maki be able to enjoy this enthusiastic cheer?

Is he worthy?

Everyone's applause was for themselves, the head of the war department, and for risking their lives to go deep into the enemy's hinterland, not for the villain who cowered and hid behind the scenes to manipulate the puppet.

Luo Sha didn't dare to think about it anymore, and if he thought about it again, he might not be able to bear that I love Luo and will have to steal the day when he grows up.

The team came to the martial arts arena in a huge way, and everyone in the vanguard saw Hoshino Mu standing on the stage, and consciously lined up in several rows.

Hoshino Mu was tall and silent, silent in the afterglow of the scorching sun, even if his body was wet with sweat.

After half the salary, just when everyone thought they had done something wrong, Hoshino Mu suddenly bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry, I said I was going to bring you back before the year, but I lost my word, and some of my brothers didn't come back in the end."

Hoshino Mu's words diluted the joy just now, and the smiles on the corners of many people's mouths froze, and then slowly converged, and finally, the crowd unconsciously bowed their heads and bowed to the deceased's movements, mourning for the deceased.

The wind mixed with gravel blew through the martial arts arena of Nuoda, Hoshino Mu raised his head and looked at everyone: "War is cruel, everyone is a ninja, I told you about the meaning of sacrifice as early as the first lesson of entering the ninja school, I don't want to repeat those things that everyone knows, but I can assure everyone here, everyone, I'm talking about everyone!" If you sacrifice, it must be meaningful. Your family will definitely be taken care of, your children will not be bullied, and no one will forget what you have done for the land under your feet, this is the guarantee that I, the four generations of Kazekage Hoshinomu, will give you! ”

Hoshino Maki's gaze crossed the faces of the people below, and he spoke: "The new cemetery has been built, and there is a martyr's monument inside, which records all the heroes who have given their lives for the village that I can find since the establishment of the village, I'm sorry, because of the age, some people may be missing, but starting from me, no one will be left out." Please believe that a person who is extremely obsessed with money, when it comes to pensions, I will definitely remember you for the rest of your life. ”

Hoshino's final self-deprecation eased the originally heavy and solemn atmosphere slightly.

"After talking about those memorables, let's talk about the rewards for everyone."

Hoshino Mu clapped his hands, and a team of dark people stood behind Hoshino Mu with brocade boxes in both hands.

Hoshino Mu spoke: "You have accomplished a feat that is unique since the village of Ninja, you smashed the stinky shells of those turtles, succeeded in making the will of the wind bloom all over the land of the earth, and trampled those guys who once brought us countless troubles under their feet, I am proud of you, and Sand Hidden City is proud of you!" ”
