This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 209 The younger generation is truly formidable.

"Minato Namikaze!!!"

A roar filled with chakra shook the leaves of trees near the Senju clan's territory, causing them to fall in a rustling sound.

Immediately afterwards, several golden chakra chains, like wildly dancing pythons, blocked all escape routes in all directions, lashing fiercely at the blond figure with a whooshing sound.

"Kushina! Let me explain! It's a misunderstanding!"

Minato Namikaze's figure transformed into a golden streak of light, struggling to weave through the gaps in the chains. His headband was askew, and his once-stylish Jonin vest was covered in dust, making him look rather disheveled.

"A misunderstanding? Nishikawa Tetsu told me everything!"

Kushina Uzumaki's red hair danced in the air, and the background behind her seemed to materialize into raging flames. She formed hand seals, and the speed of the chains surged once more.

"You were secretly thrilled when you said those noble gentlemen wanted to force their daughters on you! You even talked about making them your principal wife or concubine!!"

No! Absolutely not!

Minato dodged the sweeping chains with a sliding tackle, breaking out in a cold sweat: "I was completely terrified! And I kept refusing!"

"Refuse? I think you're enjoying it! That's a famous relative, and she has thousands of acres of fertile land as a dowry!"

Kushina grew angrier as she spoke, and slammed her fist into the ground, instantly cracking the earth.

"If you like money, I... I'll take on S-rank missions to earn money to support you! If you dare look at another woman even once, I'll seal you in a scroll and hang you on the Hokage Rock!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dust filled the air in the Thousand Hands territory, and passersby avoided it, none daring to provoke the Blood Red Pepper.

Ten minutes later.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Minato lay sprawled on the grass, panting heavily. Although he wasn't seriously injured, the intense dodging was more tiring than fighting the Raikage.

Kushina sat down next to him, puffing up her cheeks and casually pulling at the grass on the ground. Although she stopped doing so, her cheeks were still puffed up like a pufferfish.

"Are you calm now?"

Minato turned his head to look at her, his azure eyes filled with helplessness and doting affection.

"Hmph." Kushina turned her head away, ignoring him.

Minato sat up, ignoring the dust on his body, and moved to Kushina's side, gently taking her hand, which was slightly red from the force of his grip.

"Kushina."

Shuimen's voice became low and serious.

"I was indeed surrounded, but all I could think about was how to escape."

He took out the exquisite bracelet he had bought in the capital but hadn't had a chance to give it to Kushina from his ninja tool bag and put it on her wrist.

"Those noble daughters, although they are rich and have status."

Minato looked into Kushina's eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"But in my eyes, all of them combined are not worth a single hair of yours."

Kushina's face flushed red instantly, her anger vanished in an instant, replaced by an uncontrollable smile.

She touched the comb in her hair and muttered, "Smooth-tongued...who taught him that?"

"The truth."

Minato then pulled her into his arms.

"Don't listen to Che's nonsense anymore. My salary is all with you, where can I run off to?"

Kushina leaned against him, listening to his steady heartbeat, and finally smiled.

"I doubt you'd dare."

……

Meanwhile, at the Hokage Building.

Nishikawa Tetsu placed a heavy leather suitcase on the desk and then opened it.

Inside were not cash, but stacks of contracts and documents bearing the seals of the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the private seals of various ministers.

"Lord Hokage, and the two advisors."

Nishikawa Tetsu laid out the contracts by category and reported to his supervisor in a calm tone:

"This is the biggest takeaway from the trip."

"The 'Land of Fire National Power Grid Infrastructure Agreement' has an initial investment of 800 million taels, funded by the Daimyo Prefecture's finances, with subsequent investments to be made based on the progress of the project."

"The 'Konoha-Capital Cold Chain Logistics Franchise' is an exclusive authorization. From now on, only our Heian Co., Ltd. can handle high-end fresh food transportation within the Land of Fire."

"And this..."

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to the last document.

"This is the Civil Technology Industry Support Fund, jointly signed by several ministers. It not only exempts us from taxes for opening a branch in the capital, but also provides an additional interest-free loan of 200 million taels."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand holding the pipe froze in mid-air, forgetting to even smoke.

Koharu Utatane already knew about Nishikawa Tetsu's "achievements," but she was still amazed when she heard about them again.

Mitomon En even stood up abruptly, his old eyes fixed on the numbers on the contracts, repeatedly checking to make sure he hadn't missed an extra zero.

"Ten...ten billion taels of start-up capital?"

Mitomon Homura's voice trembled: "And it was the Daimyo Prefecture that took the initiative to pay for the construction, practically begging us to do it?"

"Not only that."

Nishikawa Tetsu took a map out of his bag and drew a few lines on it.

"Once the power grid is completed, we will control the energy lifeline of the Land of Fire. At that time, every household will have to pay us for the electricity they use. This is a goose that lays golden eggs, and a long-term, stable one that will only get fatter as the country develops."

"From today onwards, Konoha's financial problems are no longer a problem."

Nishikawa Tetsu closed the folder and bowed slightly.

"Report complete."

A long, deathly silence fell over the office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe, picked up the contract, and examined it for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

"The younger generation is truly formidable..."

He signed his name, stamped the Hokage seal, and looked at Nishikawa Tetsu with a mixture of admiration and awe.

This young man, without using a sword or ninjutsu, relied solely on his words and science to conquer a territory for Konoha that was even larger than its original land expansion.

"Alright, Che, you've worked hard."

The third generation waved his hand: "Go back and rest. I will have the Ministry of Finance fully cooperate with you in the next coordination work."

"Yes."

Nishikawa Tetsu bowed, then turned and left.

Only after the office door closed again did Xiaochun slump into a chair, take off her glasses, and rub her slightly sore eyes.

"You just can't deny getting old."

The consultant, who was known for his shrewdness and strictness, now had a bitter smile on his face.

"Thinking back to the past, in order to apply for a little military funding, we had to go to Daming Prefecture and beg and plead until our lips were hoarse, and Daming Prefecture would only give us a small amount like giving money to a beggar, and would also deduct from it in various ways."

She looked at the astronomical sum of contracts on the table and shook her head.

"But what about now? This kid went there, and not only did he not ask for money, the daimyo and ministers were fighting over to give him money, afraid that he would refuse it."

"The world has really changed."

Mitokado Yan also sighed, but then laughed again.

"It's good that things have changed. At least we won't have to worry about compensation anymore."

The third generation relit his pipe, looked out the window at the departing young figure, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Yes, things have changed."

"Konoha, finally we don't have to live such hard times anymore."

The fact that so much investment could be secured so soon after the war undoubtedly provides tremendous help to Konoha's post-war recovery.
