heart.
At the same time.
Akatsuki Ninja Village.
Uchiha Makoto took Tsubaki Uzumaki out of his mansion. <Saving Chunin Pain> is the first movie produced by Akatsuki Hollywood. As Light Shadow, he must stand up to promote the movie.
Especially the premiere!
He must contribute his movie tickets!
Tsubaki Uzumaki took Uchiha Makoto's arm and the two walked towards the Akatsuki Ninja cinema. Along the way, people kept saying hello to him.
"Lord Shadow."
"Lord Shadow."
Uchiha Makoto nodded in response one by one, with a warm smile on his face. He saw many acquaintances among them - the heads of various ninja clans, the Akatsuki Ninja ninjas who participated in Kumogakure War, and more ordinary Akatsuki Ninja Village citizens, who basically went to the cinema to watch movies.
It is normal for a ninja to have spare money to spend on entertainment activities, but it is very difficult for so many ordinary people in the village to have spare money to go to the movies.
What a pity.
Your efforts are not in vain.
Akatsuki Ninja Village should now be regarded as the richest shinobi village in Ninja World.
The continuous investment from Ninja World, as well as a large amount of funds specially approved by Akatsuki Ninja's finance for construction, have allowed Akatsuki Ninja Village's economy to develop rapidly.
"We want Akatsuki Ninja Village villagers to have a chicken in the pot, a ninja at home, a wife in bed, and a job outside."
This is the bold promise Uchiha Makoto originally promised, and now it can be considered that most of it has been realized.
Nowadays in Akatsuki Ninja Village, as long as you have hands and feet and are willing to work, you can live a decent life.
during economic upturn
Everything is so prosperous.
"Not enough. Those nobles are still richer than me."
"We will continue to work hard next year, Akatsuki Ninja Village's urbanization progress is still too slow"
Uchiha Makoto was thinking silently in his heart.
He wants to create a qualitative gap between Akatsuki Ninja Village's economy and Konoha's in the shortest possible time.
Of course
In fact, the gap between the two sides has already arisen. As the country with the most fertile land, the largest population, and a peaceful environment in the ninja world, the Fire Country naturally attracts a large number of talents and capital from the ninja world.
Konoha, as an old-fashioned ninja village, is just passively eating the dividends, neither fast enough nor ruthlessly enough.
Akatsuki Ninja Village not only took the initiative to devour it, but also felt that there was not enough in his own bowl and ran to the noble's bowl to eat.
Capitalists always like places where they can grow themselves safely and efficiently. The place where Ninja World is most suitable for them is called Akatsuki Ninja Village.
Now the size of Konoha is actually just a small city of Land of Fire.
And the city size of Akatsuki Ninja Village has even begun to have the atmosphere of Capital of the Land of Fire.
soon
Uchiha Makoto had already walked to a cinema in Akatsuki Ninja Village.
This cinema is Akatsuki Ninja Village's largest cinema and occupies the best location. This area is a consumption center in Akatsuki Ninja Village's construction plan.
Surrounding the cinema is a commercial area with everything to eat, drink and have fun.
Because of the intensive promotion of the movie, the place is now blocked with water.
Movie tickets are even harder to find.
It even gave birth to scalpers.
Uchiha Makoto was looking at the ticket office, because a young couple who arrived late had not bought a ticket and were feeling lost. A scalper quietly came up to them and took out two tickets in their hands.
The young couple showed hesitant expressions. It seemed that the price was too high, but they still bought it after hesitating for a while.
Uchiha Makoto certainly doesn't like scalpers.
But this does reflect the consumerism that Akatsuki Ninja Village has gradually developed - in order to watch the premiere, he will not hesitate to spend extra money to buy movie tickets.
No matter how you say it.
It is a good thing that the villagers are willing to spend money, because it shows that they really have money and dare to spend it.
This confidence comes from the confidence in the future development of Akatsuki Ninja Village.
As long as the economy continues to circulate, the effect accumulated bit by bit is unlimited.
When Akatsuki Ninja Village and Konoha are welcoming the New Year happily.
Kumogakure This New Year is really sad.
No way.
During the war, Kumogakure a large number of elite ninjas were killed, and each ninja family was beaten to death. Even their First Raikage also died in this war. In order to end this war as soon as possible, they must lose During the war, Kumogakure even signed a series of unequal treaties with Akatsuki Ninja Village, Uzumaki Clan, and Konoha, and was burdened with heavy reparations.
Because of all the above reasons, Kumogakure's situation is miserable.
If First Raikage had not died, the situation should be better, at least the village could be stabilized.
But First Raikage died.
Gave all the mess to Second Raikage.
The outside of the village needs compensation, the inside of the village needs a lot of pensions, and the first and second lines of defense need funds to repair. There is also a group of eager opposition inside the village waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack on him. Oh, and Daimyo, Daimyo of the Land of Lightning also don't have a good look on his Second Thunderstorm.
Kumogakure's current predicament has made the still immature Second Raikage even have the idea of abdicating directly.
Even though it is already the New Year.
Second Raikage is still holding on and has not left Raikage's Office.
He has a lot of people to deal with.
Some of the ninja clan leaders reached out to him to ask for money to alleviate their family's plight.
There are also young ninjas who are unwilling to fail and hope that Second Raikage will lead them to try again.
The poor woman cried out to her husband, all her sons were killed in the battle, the breadwinner of the family was gone, and the pension had not yet been paid.
Daimyo of the Land of Lightning did send him a grant, but it was not enough, far from enough.
It is simply impossible to make up for the shortfall at once with this money. Now Kumogakure needs money everywhere.
But there were too many holes, so Second Raikage could only use the funds carefully in key places.
The Ninja clan's funds can only be released selectively, with powerful families receiving priority and weak families delayed.
Or whichever ninja family supports him will be given priority.
The pension for ordinary ninja families with no background can only be postponed Second Raikage, so precious funds must be used to train new people.
This will of course make the heroes of Kumogakure bleed and shed tears.
But he had no choice. In order to secure his position as Second Raikage, he had no choice but to do this.
And there's only so much money.
In fact, no matter how you divide it, some people will definitely be dissatisfied.
The consequence of demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall is that he is now blocked.
".. I have no money. Just bear with it a little longer."
"Lord Raikage, Daimyo Where is the allocation from His Highness?"
"Everyone, please be patient and survive this year, and everything will be fine."
Second Raikage felt extremely aggrieved, but he still took the trouble to explain.
A ninja who has paid off the debt.
Facing the woman who kept crying,
His mood became even more depressed, and he could only take out what little savings he had left from his pocket.
Public funds cannot be misappropriated, so you can only use your own money. If nothing happens, he will have to drink Ration Pill water during the entire Chinese New Year.
There are many bad guys with ulterior motives lurking behind the blocked door.
For those who oppose Second Raikage, the current situation is really wonderful.
Just leading the rhythm is enough for Second Raikage to be overwhelmed, and they can take the opportunity to do something.
Second Raikage, who had been busy for a long time, finally appeased all the people who blocked the door today, and sat down on the chair with great dejection.
"Lord Raikage, I got it as you ordered"
A Anbu Ninja appeared at Raikage's Office, holding a box of video tapes in his hand.
This is the movie tape of Akatsuki Ninja Village.
"Yeah I know"
Second Raikage took the videotape, and there was a killing intent in his eyes.
They Kumogakure are already in such difficulty, but the culprit Akatsuki Ninja Village is still free to make movies for fun!
But Second Raikage still endured it. He must endure it now, and then restore Kumogakure's vitality little by little. Waiting for an opportunity. During this period, he found Akatsuki Ninja Village's weakness.
"That's it. Let's take a look at what Akatsuki Ninja Village took..."
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire retreated to the left and right, holding a box of video tapes in his hand and started playing, feeling indescribable emotions in his heart.
When he first chose Uchiha Makoto as his support target, it was just because Uchiha Makoto was weak, easy to support and control, and his words were pleasant to listen to. He also always thought that Hashirama Senju and Konoha were the ones he should be careful about.
But
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire didn't expect that Uchiha Makoto with thick eyebrows and big eyes would be like this.
Uchiha Makoto also deceived him!
It can be said that he was deceived all over the place.
But under the current situation, it is no longer possible to eliminate Uchiha Makoto.
And somehow.
Even though the strength shown by Uchiha Makoto is far different from that of Hashirama Senju, Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire now always feels that compared to Konoha and Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Makoto should be the one to be wary of.
Uchiha Makoto's various behaviors show that he is really special.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire has seen many ninjas.
Whether it is the ninja of the Senju Clan or the ninja of the Uchiha Clan. Even Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara. They have never done anything so unbecoming of a ninja as Uchiha Makoto.
Akatsuki Ninja Village's current strength is inseparable from Uchiha Makoto's unusual behavior that transcends the status of a ninja.
There are some things that even Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire find strange.
It's like Ninjamura himself filming a movie.
Therefore, through simple means, Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire obtained this videotape.
"I would like to see what you Uchiha Makoto took pictures of."
Tobirama Senju walked into the cinema holding a bucket of popcorn. He sat alone in the corner, staring at the third row.
Just now Mito Uzumaki launched his own attack.
She and Tobirama Senju went to buy three buckets of popcorn, and one bucket of popcorn was in Tobirama Senju's hand.
Two more buckets of popcorn.
Mito Uzumaki learned from Tobirama Senju's experience and directly handed one bucket to Uchiha Madara, leaving another bucket for himself and Hashirama Senju, and distributed the popcorn first.
At this moment, Hashirama Senju is sitting in the middle, Uchiha Madara is sitting on his left hand side, and Mito Uzumaki is sitting on his right hand side.
"Mito, you also bought popcorn. That's great."
"Why did I buy one less barrel?"
"There were only three buckets left just now, Tobirama took one bucket, but it doesn't matter. We can both eat one bucket!"
Mito Uzumaki didn't beat around the bush. He knew that Hashirama had low emotional intelligence and was afraid that he would show off his style, so he directly gave him a bucket of popcorn.
Does she want to eat popcorn?
This time she wanted to show off her affection in front of Uchiha Madara in person and let Uchiha Madara understand her status. Even as a close friend of Hashirama, she still needs to maintain her sense of proportion!
You and Hashirama are too close!
"Ah, open your mouth and have a taste."
While Mito Uzumaki started feeding, he quietly paid attention to Uchiha Madara's expression.
Uchiha Madara As a light bulb, I should feel uncomfortable.
"It's delicious"
"Delicious."
Uchiha Madara was not moved at all, which made Mito Uzumaki very unhappy. He felt that it was necessary to increase the intensity.
Just
"Madara, why don't you eat it? Let me taste the taste of your bucket."
"I don't think it tastes crisper than this one. Come and try it."
Hashirama Senju took a bite of the popcorn in Uchiha Madara's hand, and then made some comments.
But Uchiha Madara still didn't eat the popcorn.
So Hashirama Senju simply grabbed a few popcorns, put them in front of Uchiha Madara's mouth, and started feeding them himself.
The popcorn was already in his mouth. Uchiha Madara didn't want to eat it at first. But Hashirama was so kind that it was hard to refuse.
"How does Madara taste?"
"It's really okay."
"I'll just tell you, try a few more!"
Hashirama Senju took a few more. This made Mito Uzumaki just want to say "Hashirama, feed me"
The words were stuck in my stomach.
"Bitch is just hypocritical!"
When girls are depressed, they finally like to eat something sweet.
Mito Uzumaki angrily grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth, hoping to relieve the depression in his heart.
One handful is not enough, give me another...
One more.
The movie hasn't started yet.
Mito Uzumaki's bucket of popcorn has already lost a third of its contents.
"Mito, you eat so fast."
"It seems that you really like to eat popcorn, so I'll give you all this bucket. Madara and I will share one bucket."
"????"
Mito Uzumaki Listening to Hashirama Senju's "intimate and warm" concern, I really wanted to pour a bucket of popcorn directly on Hashirama Senju's head.
"Decent... decent I want to be decent"
"I am Hashirama Senju's real wife, Konoha's real Mrs. Hokage, the kind who even has children. Uchiha Madara is just a mere child."
"Ahhhh Uchiha Madara, I'm going to kill you!!"
Mito Uzumaki's mouth was full of popcorn, like an angry hamster, and his eyes looked at Uchiha Madara with a death gaze.
"I provoked Mito Uzumaki again??"
"No"
"Could it be because I ate the popcorn she bought? Then she has a really bad temper. Hashirama tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."
"Unlike me, I only know how to..."
Uchiha Madara compared himself and quickly averted his gaze, not looking at Mito Uzumaki. He was afraid that Hashirama would be in a dilemma.
Because a bucket of popcorn isn't worth it.
Moreover, he didn't want to eat popcorn in the first place. He ate it only after Hashirama fed it to him.
After a while, Mito Uzumaki finally looked away.
The movie starts.
