"If the Hokage truly looks down on Kirigakure..."
"Then we'll withdraw from the Allied Shinobi Forces."
As Mei Terumi's cold voice fell, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became tense!
"It's nothing more than closing the country off again. I don't think the Akatsuki would be interested in infiltrating our land that never sees the sun."
Seeing the Mizukage's serious expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, the Tsuchikage, Raikage, and even the Admiral Mifune from the neutral country all had a hint of panic in their eyes.
The Tailed Beast within the Three-Tails Jinchūriki has been extracted, and the village, surrounded by the sea and shrouded in thick fog every day...
Who knows if Akatsuki might launch a surprise attack on that easily defensible village!
Furthermore, the Allied Shinobi Forces, having lost the Kirigakure...
The great battle six months later had already lost three points of their chance of victory before the battle even began!
" Mizukage, let's talk this out."
Ōnoki floated into the air and said in a gentle tone, "How can a five-nation Allied Shinobi Forces be complete without Kirigakure!"
"Don't worry about what the Hokage said. The position of commander-in-chief will be held by this old man and the Raikage."
"Logistics is something that Kirigakure excels at. You are perfectly suited to be the Minister of Logistics."
As he spoke, Ōnoki looked at Tsunade. Although he was smiling, the enthusiasm in his tone was noticeably lower than before.
" Hokage, look at this..."
While it appeared to be an inquiry, Tsunade sensed a hint of coercion in the old man's face!
Tsunade clenched her fists tightly, her face extremely grim!
Behind him Shikaku sighed inwardly and subtly tugged at Tsunade, signaling her to calm down.
The Mizukage's words earlier were a fatal blow!
Shikaku was well aware of the Tsuchikage's change in attitude.
Unlike Kirigakure, Konoha not only occupies a scenic territory, but also has the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
The Akatsuki will spare no one but Konoha.
Given Konoha's current state, it is the village that should be most eager to establish the Allied Shinobi Forces!
Sunset, dusk.
From dawn till dusk, the formation of the Allied Shinobi Forces and the assignment of positions were finally initially achieved.
After the meeting, each Kage needs to return to their own territory in person. In addition to reporting to the Daimyo, the urgent matter of summoning the surrounding small ninja villages is also to be addressed.
After setting the time and place for their next reunion, the Five Kage's group left the Land of Iron that very night.
On the Rich Man Bridge, the docile Manda once again became the return vehicle for the Kirigakure Village's main force.
Looking at the full moon high in the sky, and recalling how her words had forced Tsunade, who was also a female Hokage, to lower her Tsunade, Mei Terumi, sitting beside the enormous snake head, couldn't help but laugh.
Her crisp laughter seemed to contain both the unbridled joy of overpowering Tsunade and a beautiful vision for the future of Kirigakure!
It's wonderful that Konoha forced the Uchiha Clan to flee!
And the appearance of Haruma is even better!
Just as Shisui was wondering what was going on, a hearty laugh came from the center of the snake's head, leaving him even more confused.
Meeting Shisui's questioning gaze, Itachi twitched his lips and turned his head away.
Calling you "The 100,000 Whys" is truly an accurate way to address you.
You should always be curious about why other people are laughing...
Mei Terumi's happiness was not entirely unexpected; after all, Itachi, who had been standing Tsunade.
But as for why the boss was laughing...
Even Itachi didn't understand.
Suppressed joy was stirred by Mei Terumi's laughter.
Thinking back to the endless stream of gold and silver income that followed...
Looking forward to this bright future, Haruma burst into laughter!
Six months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The once-empty Rich Man Company was now empty except for Konan.
Beside the red wooden door standing on the top floor, Konan stood quietly waiting, her expression showing a mixture of respect and anticipation.
She tightened her grip on the scroll; after nearly six months of frantic work, she had finally raised enough funds for the first resurrection!
"Squeak!"
The door connecting to another dimension was pushed open, and Konan looked up and froze instantly!
A deep chill ran up her spine and straight to the top of her head!
Compared to six months ago,
Haruma's appearance remained unchanged, and his Chakra was even more restrained, without leaking out in the slightest!
His spotless white robe fluttered without wind, and his deep eyes seemed to connect to an endless abyss, drawing people unconsciously into them, unable to extricate themselves!
As Haruma stepped out of the door, Konan's heart skipped a beat.
His demeanor was casual, and his expression was indifferent...
They are so close, yet they feel as far apart as an insurmountable chasm!
This unusual sense of distance is like...
Inhuman!
I recall the deities that often hung in the Nagato...
That's right!
At this moment, the Haruma made Konan feel like a god who had descended to earth!
So noble that you can't look directly at them!!
Haruma glanced at Konan, whose pupils were dilated, with a strange expression, but paid her no further attention and walked straight past her.
Plopping down in the soft chair, Haruma eagerly opened her system panel!

As Haruma mouth widened even further!
But after glancing at the pitiful balance in the system store, barely breaking into three digits, Haruma's upturned smile faded slightly.
In the past six months...
In response to the Akatsuki's attacks, the Allied Shinobi Forces grew stronger day by day!
Even Orochimaru Otogakure casually created back then...
Even this small ninja village was invited into the Allied Shinobi Forces Forces' ranks!
After six months of development, the original five-nation Allied Shinobi Forces has grown into a coalition of more than forty ninja villages of varying sizes!
And the business in Kirigakure... exploded!
It's completely overwhelmed, with supply falling far short of demand, even more so than Haruma predicted!
Not only was the company completely empty at the moment, but nearly 99% of the ninjas in Kirigakure had also been sent out by Mei Terumi to help out at the shop!
This was also thanks to 'True Obito ' bringing along White Zetsu, who could create endless clones, to occasionally appear and deplete a wave of ninja tools...
As the saying goes, if you work hard enough, your boss will be able to buy you a Ferrari.
It was precisely because of the busy work of everyone in Kirigakure over the past six months that Haruma's strength made a significant leap in just six months!
Divine Path,
An unknown realm beyond the Six Paths!
P. S.: I had a headache and felt dizzy for two days, and I had a bad cold and needed IV drips and injections.
I'll be taking two days off and will resume updates tomorrow. I'm so sorry everyone!
