Sasuke did not answer Naruto's question, but looked at Land of Fire envoy indifferently.
"The special envoy is right," Sasuke said, "Land of Whirlpools's reconstruction should really be decided by ourselves."
Representatives from various countries looked at each other. They obviously did not expect such a change. They originally thought that they could gain control through assistance, but now Land of Fire took the opportunity.
"Wait a minute." Qing stood up, "We need to go back and ask for instructions on this matter."
"What are you asking for?" the special envoy sneered, "The daimyo of all countries have already reached an agreement at yesterday's meeting. Do you want to defy the daimyo's decision?"
Ao's face turned ugly. As ninjas, they really couldn't disobey the daimyo's orders.
"Then our trip was in vain?" Darui scratched his hair, looking very unhappy.
"It's not in vain." Nagato suddenly said, "Since you have come all the way, why not stay and see the progress of our work."
"Visit?" Kankuro looked at him doubtfully.
"Yes." Nagato smiled, "Although I don't need your assistance, friendly exchanges are still welcome."
Shikamaru thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then I'll excuse you."
The special envoy nodded with satisfaction. "Then I will go back and resume my duties first. In three days, Land of Fire's engineering team will arrive."
After saying that, he left with the cavalry.
Watching the special envoy leave, representatives from various countries had mixed emotions. They originally wanted to get a share of the pie, but now they have become outsiders.
"Sasuke." Naruto pulled Sasuke's sleeve, "What on earth did you do?"
"Nothing." Sasuke said lightly, "It just makes some people understand the true meaning of Land of Whirlpools reconstruction."
"What do you mean?"
"Land of Whirlpools is located at the junction of countries, and its geographical location is extremely important." Sasuke explained, "If multiple countries jointly control it, it will become the focus of conflict. It is better to let one country take responsibility alone, which will be more stable."
Naruto suddenly realized. "So you contacted Land of Fire in advance?"
"It's not me." Sasuke shook his head, "It's Kakashi-sensei. He realized the problem earlier than we did."
So that's it. Naruto finally understood the cause and effect.
"Then what should we do now?" Mina asked worriedly, "Will Land of Fire also want to control us?"
"No." Nagato said with certainty, "Land of Fire is different from other countries. Konoha itself has the blood of the Uzumaki Clan, and they will not make things difficult for us."
Although representatives from various countries were unwilling to accept the reality, they could only accept the reality. They stayed at Land of Whirlpools for a day and visited the progress of the reconstruction work.
"Your Sealing Array is really big." Shikamaru looked at the Runes on the ground and couldn't help but sigh, "How many Chakras are needed to start it?"
"Enough." Naruto smiled mysteriously, without revealing the secret of the storage warehouse.
Karin was monitoring the Chakra Wave movements of ninjas from all over the world to ensure that they had no malicious intentions.
"Don't worry." She whispered to Naruto, "They are just curious and have no other ideas."
The next day, representatives from various countries were preparing to leave. Before leaving, Shikamaru found Naruto alone.
"Naruto, there is something I must remind you." Shikamaru's expression was very serious, "The remnants of Gen will not give up."
"I know." Naruto nodded, "But we will not back down."
"Also, although Land of Fire agreed to assist alone, the political considerations are very complicated." Shikamaru continued, "You must be mentally prepared."
"What do you mean?"
"Land of Fire Daimyo did this because he wanted to establish a military base in Land of Whirlpools." Shikamaru lowered his voice, "This can better monitor other countries."
Naruto frowned. "Military base?"
"Yes. Although it is said to be protection on the surface, it is actually for strategic layout." Shikamaru sighed, "Politics is like this, there is no free lunch."
This news made Naruto very uncomfortable. He thought he could finally get rid of foreign interference, but he didn't expect that Land of Fire also had his own plans.
"Then what should we do?"
"Just take it one step at a time." Shikamaru patted his shoulder, "At least now you still have the right to choose."
After the representatives from various countries left, Land of Whirlpools returned to calm. Naruto continued to integrate Chakra from previous generations of Clan Head, and the progress was very smooth.
"There are only the last three left." Nagato looked at the remaining crystal balls, "These three are the most difficult."
"Why?"
"Because they come from the three strongest Clan Head." Nagato's expression became solemn, "Their Chakra are extremely powerful, and their fusion is very risky."
Naruto Looking at the three crystal balls, I can feel the terrifying power contained in them.
"How will you know if you don't try?" He reached out and picked up one of them.
"Wait!" Nagato hurriedly stopped, "We must make preparations first."
The next day, Nagato arranged multiple protective measures for Naruto. Various Sealing Runes surrounded him, forming a complex protective array.
"If the fusion fails, these seals will be activated immediately to protect your life." Nagato explained, "But the price is that you may lose part of Chakra."
"It doesn't matter." Naruto didn't care, "Let's get started."
The fusion process of the first crystal ball was extremely difficult. The powerful Chakra ran rampant inside Naruto's body, almost bursting his meridians.
"Hold on!" Sasuke encouraged from the side, "You can do it!"
Nine-Tails also helps suppress the violent Chakra in Naruto's body.
"This old guy had a really bad temper when he was alive." Nine-Tails complained, "Chakra was full of anger."
After two hours of hard work, Naruto finally successfully fused the first crystal ball. But he was also exhausted and his whole body was shaking.
"Take a rest." Karin hurriedly stepped forward to check his status, "Your Chakra system is somewhat disordered."
"It's okay." Naruto stood up with strength, "Continue to the next one."
"No!" Mina firmly objected, "Your current state is too dangerous."
"Aunt Mina is right." Nagato also advised, "You should rest for at least one day."
Naruto had no choice but to agree. That night, he lay in the tent, feeling the new Chakra in his body.
"How do you feel?" Sasuke sat next to him.
"It's strange." Naruto said, "The memory of Clan Head has also been transmitted. I have seen a lot of Land of Whirlpools's history."
"What kind of history?"
"Wars, many wars." Naruto closed his eyes, "Land of Whirlpools may be small, but he has been trying to survive in the cracks between major countries."
Sasuke was silent. He could understand the helplessness and anger.
The next day, Land of Fire's engineering team arrived as scheduled. The leader was a Leaf ninja named Yamato.
"Naruto!" Yamato ran over excitedly, "I didn't expect to see you here!"
"Captain Yamato!" Naruto was also very happy, "Why are you here?"
