Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon-Chapter 350 Eight Months

Chapter 350 Eight Months

"Mizukage-sama, Konohagakure has sent an invitation letter, inviting you to attend the Fourth Hokage's succession ceremony."

Kaito, who had just started working in the morning, heard this somewhat boring news from Elder Genji.

At this time, nearly eight months had passed since Kaito's "big purchase" in Konohagakure Village.

Over the past six months, the situation in the ninja world has gradually begun to stabilize.

After Konohagakure concentrated all its forces and made a desperate effort to drive Iwagakure and Kumogakure out of the territory of the Land of Fire.

The three parties engaged in small-scale frictions within the borders of the Land of Grass and the Land of Hot Water for several months.

Until some time ago, Iwagakure finally couldn't hold on and signed a peace treaty with Konohagakure.

Instead, it was the Kumogakure Village that lost the Third Raikage.

Even after the Fourth Raikage hastily succeeded to the throne, he still refused to give in.

Neither stopping the war nor launching a strong attack, the war with Konohagakure was always maintained at a low intensity.

And until now.

On the Konohagakure side, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen suffered huge losses in the war due to a series of reasons such as poor command and being captured on the battlefield.

He eventually resigned.

The Yellow Flash Namikaze Minato took over as the Fourth Hokage.

Kaito looked at the official document handed over by Elder Genji and put it aside with some disgust.

"No, no, when I succeeded to the position of Mizukage, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't come to congratulate me. You want me to go and celebrate with Namikaze Minato when he succeeds to the position? Konohagakure is so arrogant."

Elder Genji thought about it and felt that what Kaito said made sense.

Although the two villages are allies now, the Kirigakure Village is not like the Sunagakure Village, which was defeated by Konohagakure Village.

When it is time to hold it, they still have to hold it.

Otherwise, they are likely to be looked down upon by other small ninja villages that do not understand the situation.

"Then I should send them a letter rejecting them?"

However, after hearing this, Kaito slowly tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a moment, and then spoke again.

"Just say I'm busy with official duties and can't go."

"When the time comes, let Harusame-senpai lead the team to watch the ceremony for me. By the way, let him find out from Konohagakure's top brass what Konohagakure thinks of that S-rank rebel Uchiha thief."

Ever since the ceasefire with Konohagakure, the number of members in the Flying Unit has been continuously reduced, and Harusame's job as the head of the Flying Unit has become less busy.

Moreover, compared to those other impulsive and murderous lunatics in the village, Harusame, who has a calm personality, is more suitable to be an envoy on official business.

Now that it is inconvenient for both Kaito and Ao to leave, the task of contacting some small ninja villages often falls on him.

As for the so-called 'Uchiha Thief'.

Naturally, it was the reputation that Kaito got when he plundered the Konohagakure Village on a large scale.

Although Kaito called himself "Uchiha Madara", Konoha obviously did not believe this statement.

But the commotion that time was quite big, and all the major ninja clans in Konohagakure suffered thefts one after another. If the front line had not already decided the outcome with Iwagakure on the same day,

Just by making such a fuss, it is possible that the Konohagakure front line would become unstable and trigger even more violent turmoil.

Konohagakure naturally issued the highest rank S-rank warrant for him.

Even if the Uchiha clan itself had not been robbed by Kaito, they themselves might have been interrogated by the Konohagakure high-level officials.

But even so, Kaito had heard that the situation of the Uchiha clan in Konohagakure Village has become even more difficult in recent times.

Of course, Kaito did not choose to hide the "good things" he did from Elder Genji.

A large number of ninja tools, supplies and other items have all been sent to the inventory of the Kirigakure Village.

There are even more scrolls of secret arts.

Shadow techniques, mind techniques, expansion techniques...

There are so many of them, everything they can think of.

To the extent that, if the Kirigakure Village has enough manpower now and acts openly, it can easily establish a "New Konohagakure Village".

Of course, for the time being, the Kirigakure Village has no intention of offending Konohagakure or even the entire ninja world.

After discussing with Elder Genji, he finally selected only a portion of the war orphans, trained them to be loyal, and then he will teach them some secret jutsu when the time is right.

As for Uchiha Obito.

In addition to Konoha's wanted warrant for 'him', Kaito did not relax his vigilance against him.

From time to time, he would sent out some White Zetsu to search for Uchiha Obito in the Ninja World.

However, Kaito found White Zetsu hiding in various places in the ninja world more than once, but still failed to catch him.

The closest time was when Kaito even found the base where the old Uchiha Madara once hid through the gathered White Zetsu.

However, except for a few White Zetsu hanging on the trees in a daze, the place was already deserted.

If there weren't huge traces left by the existence of the Gedo Statue and a slightly abrupt stone throne, Kaito wouldn't have been able to recognize where that place was.

"Konoha must be having more headaches than us over there with the Uchiha thief."

"Now all the major ninja clans in Konohagakure are putting pressure on the top leaders. Even if Namikaze Minato takes over, he still has to solve this matter first. We just need to go and test the waters."

Elder Genji nodded upon hearing this.

Even though this small matter of the Fourth Hokage's succession to the throne had passed like this.

Compared to the troubles of other people, the focus of the Kirigakure Village is now more on its own development.

Kaito opened a document, looked up and asked.

"How is the urban construction on the Land of Whirlpool going?"

"The daimyo has relocated some of the civilians from the Land of Water to settle there, and the basic outline of the city has been completed."

Elder Genji paused and continued.

"But the Daimyo wants us to send more ninjas to be stationed there. It seems that due to the recent turmoil in the ninja world, many new pirate gangs have appeared near the route to the Land of Whirlpool."

Kaito also felt a headache after hearing this.

There are quite a few jonin and even elite jonin in the Kirigakure Village today, but the number of chunin and genin are seriously lacking due to the war.

Especially now that Kirigakure has received a larger share of missions, it is already operating at full capacity just to maintain daily ninja missions.

Not to mention that there is now an overseas base like the Land of Whirlpool.

However, this new city will definitely bring huge profits to the Kirigakure Village in the future, and Kaito can't just leave it alone.

"Is Shingetsu's mission to the Land of Wave almost over?"

"When he comes back, call a meeting of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and have them take turns leading the team to garrison at the Land of Whirlpool to temporarily resolve the issue of route safety."

"As for the long-term stationing mission, please reply to the daimyo. Once the city is fully constructed, we will establish a fixed base on the Land of Whirlpool."

And so, the whole morning was busy.

After finishing some important matters, Kaito left the Mizukage Building directly.

After such a long period of familiarization and adaptation, Kaito basically only works in the office for a few hours a day, and has the rest of the time at his own disposal.

After all, he is still in a period of rapid growth in strength, and Elder Genji does not want Kaito to spend too much energy on daily work.

only.

After finishing work today, Kaito did not choose to go out for practice.

Instead, he quickly returned to his residence.
