Having Children!

It's snowing!

The war is also over!

Perhaps because the war just ended, the entire Ninja World seemed exceptionally bleak.

And the snow this year fell quite early!

Today.

It's the first meeting of early winter in the Land of Grass.

It's been almost two months since the last meeting where the five-year plan was designated.

This time...

The Land of Grass has gained three little ones, along with Nagato's mother and the Uzumaki Clan.

Of course, he didn't reveal Nagato's Rinnegan. There are too many cosmetic contact lenses in the Ninja World, and the Sage of Six Paths' eyes are a secret nowadays. Therefore, as long as he doesn't reveal any special abilities, or unless someone knowledgeable about the Rinnegan sees it, no one would know that Nagato's eyes are the Rinnegan.

So, today's meeting also includes a representative of the Uzumaki Clan—Uzumaki Yangzheng!

The Third Elder of the Uzumaki!

"The construction of Kusagakure is on track!" As the Leader of Kusagakure, Kusana looked at everyone sternly and said, "As for income... Kusagakure must find new sources of revenue!"

He couldn't rely on himself writing those books forever!

He, the Leader of the Land of Grass, had a righteous demeanor, but that was only for the development of the Land of Grass; it wasn't something he wanted to do!

As soon as he finished speaking.

"Sell information!" Mujie, that scrupulous guy, immediately said upon hearing about making money, "This has always been an important source of funds for our Kusagakure. Although the income from this business has decreased significantly during peacetime, with so little information available, we can also fabricate it!" He said this with an shameless tone, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "As long as we mention... war, invasion, or stolen Bloodline Limits, we're sure not to be wrong!"

After he spoke.

His suggestion was immediately approved by the other high-ranking officials.

For a Ninja Village without any mission requests, this was the fastest way to make money and also an important source of funds for Kusagakure.

"That's right! It's an old trade, we're familiar with this!"

"Anyway, we exchange money for information, and once the transaction is complete, they'll investigate it themselves!"

"Most Ninja Villages have some problems! So what if we know? It's not a big deal!"

"..."

Kusana's face was filled with dark lines listening to them.

Meanwhile, Uzumaki Yangzheng, who was attending the meeting as a representative of the Uzumaki Clan, seemed shocked by the proceedings.

He had long heard that Kusagakure was shameless, and seeing it today truly lived up to its reputation!

They even sell fake information?!

Aren't they afraid of being killed by other Ninja Villages?

He had seen it all!

He had seen it all!

Of course, he was tired of his nomadic life. Now, only the Land of Grass was willing to accept them in the entire Ninja World. And as members of the Land of Grass, no matter what decision the Leader of the Land of Grass made in the end, he would accept it.

Moreover, he himself hadn't expected that the Uzumaki Clan, having just joined, would receive such great honor to attend the meeting.

The Land of Grass treated them with sincerity; how could the Uzumaki Clan be ungrateful?!

Therefore, as ninjas, they just needed to obey orders!

However.

"Very good! Comrade Mujie, your suggestion is very pertinent!" Kusana nodded with a serious expression, pausing slightly. "Don't bring it up again in the future."

If he hadn't been there, the Land of Grass would have remained in chaos after its reconstruction, with severe political corruption and infighting.

Now that he was here, after unifying the country, he had also cleaned up the Land of Grass. The entire Land of Grass was united, displaying unprecedented cohesion.

If things continued like this...

He was more worried that the Fourth Great Ninja War would be initiated by the Land of Grass, and then it would be the Land of Grass's turn to be invaded by the Five Great Nations!

The reason would be... the information was fake!

It was practically suicidal!

He suspected that when the Kaguya Clan crossed the sea during the Third Great Ninja War and forcefully attacked the Land of Grass, a country with nothing, it might have been because... Kusagakure sold fake information to Kirigakure!

Kusana crossed his arms, scanned everyone, and said with a serious tone, "First, we must identify our strengths, and our development plans must be adapted to local conditions, adhering to the principle of starting everything from reality. This is the starting point and the ultimate goal for us to think, make decisions, and act! We must efficiently utilize the advantages of the Land of Grass to promote high-quality development!"

"..."

Why was the Leader speaking in such a roundabout way today, making it a bit difficult to understand!

As for the advantages of the Land of Grass?

Lots of flowers and grass?

"It seems you all understand!" Kusana nodded and continued, "One of the purposes of today's meeting is to discuss the development of the livestock industry in the Land of Grass!"

You see, the Land of Lightning's biggest economic drivers are its alcoholic beverages and high-quality beef exports. During Naruto's wedding, they gifted an entire black bull, which gives you an idea of its price!

As for the Land of Grass... it's much like the Land of Rain, which is perpetually rainy.

The Land of Grass boasts abundant pastures, featuring various high-yield, nutritious grasses and other plants and medicinal herbs. Its only real drawback is its relatively small territory.

"So, we can go steal the Lightning... and cultivate our own high-quality cattle and sheep for the Land of Grass!"

Then, we'll promote them, talking about careful selection and breeding, how they drink natural water from birth, eat nutrient-rich herbs, and are even played music and told stories while being raised. We'll also heavily invest in professional taijutsu ninja to give them massages, promoting blood circulation.

This ensures every muscle and fiber in the beef is fully exercised, resulting in tender, delicate, and juicy meat that melts in your mouth with every bite!

As long as the product is up to par, everything else is just a matter of promotion. If it's not... we can still create a buzz!

Following trends is human nature!

Upon hearing the Leader's words, everyone was stunned, unable to help but sigh inwardly.

"No wonder the Leader is the Leader; they can come up with so many elaborate ways to deceive people."

Compared to their selling of false intelligence...

This is leagues above!

They were truly impressed!

Mujie let out a sigh of admiration, "As expected, the Leader is also a pure Land of Grass native!"

"..."

That's called advertising, not deceiving people. It's different from lying!

Kusana's mouth twitched, and he continued, "In addition to that, we'll promote the Land of Grass to attract more people. At the same time..."

He pulled out a stack of documents from his coat and placed them on the table.

You see, after the Second Great Ninja War, there was a wealthy woman who was quite well-off and was steadily progressing towards becoming a veritable cash cow.

Extremely tempting!

Perhaps we can strike it rich?

"Make a movie!"

As he spoke, Everyone curiously looked at the documents on the table, where they saw written...

"Gambling Shadow!!!"

Two large characters!

"???"

What is this thing?

"Therefore, remember, national development isn't simply a matter of hosting banquets or throwing kunai and using ninjutsu or genjutsu. It must be adapted to local conditions and times, and align with the specific circumstances of the Land of Grass! Specific circumstances require specific analysis! Only then can we find a path suitable for the Land of Grass's development."

Kusana picked up the hot tea poured by Kana beside him and took a sip with the air of a seasoned official, speaking with an old-fashioned tone.

"The meeting is now adjourned. Everyone, go write at least eight thousand characters of your thoughts on today's meeting, thoroughly analyzing the situation in the Land of Grass!"

"..."

Even after the meeting concluded, everyone remained silent.

Deeply shocked!

It wasn't shock at the Leader's analysis of the Land of Grass's multifaceted development, but rather... it felt like they understood, yet they didn't quite grasp it!

In any case, it seemed incredibly impressive.

After all, they were just ordinary ninja!

What could they possibly understand about this?

But how were they supposed to write their thoughts?

After almost everyone had left in a daze, Kusana stretched and stood up.

He was a bit tired after a day-long meeting. Speaking of which... Fusang and Nagato were also moving today!

It wasn't far.

Just next door, separated by a wall. He should go see if there was anything he could help with!

Just as he was about to leave with Kana, "Leader!"

"???"

Kusana blinked, then turned to look at Uzumaki Yangzheng, who hadn't left yet. "Is there something, Elder Yang Zheng?"

"Um... is there anything the Leader needs the Uzumaki Clan to do?" Uzumaki Yangzheng paused, then quickly added, "Old man here doesn't mean anything else, it's just... the Land of Grass has sincerely accepted the Uzumaki Clan, allowing us to live in peace. If we do nothing, the Uzumaki Clan... feels ashamed!"

As he finished speaking, "What are you doing?" Kusana frowned, then stated as if it were obvious, "Having children!"

"???"

"We're on the verge of extinction, so why are you doing other random things instead of having children? How can we strengthen the nation without having children? Honestly, go have children. The more you have, the greater the reward!"

"..." x2

The two of them were silent.

What did having children have to do with strengthening the nation?
