Chapter 789: Trade-offs
What Makoto Uzumaki said seemed to be reasonable, but Lei Luo had a hunch that the other party was working so hard to make suggestions for stabilizing the situation in the Wind Country, and his motives were not pure.
"Makoto Uzumaki, tell me the truth, do you want to manage the territory of Sand Hidden Village?"
Lei Luo narrowed his eyes and looked at Makoto Uzumaki, out of understanding this guy, he directly guessed at the moment, and Makoto Uzumaki didn't mean to hide it, nodded calmly:
"The country of wind does have more development potential than the country of Kawanoku, and I'm a little tired of that second village, Lei Luo, you can either appoint another branch Hokage to take office."
"Sand Hidden Village, I am sure that after all the Sand Hidden Ninjas leave, it will develop into the third village of our Konoha and gain the recognition of the people of the Land of Wind."
Makoto Uzumaki obviously knew very well that Lei Luo would not stay in a remote country like the Land of Wind for a long time, after all, the other party's pursuit was not yet complete.
Now that the Fire Nation has only conquered the territory of the two countries of Yufeng, and there are still many large and small countries waiting in line to clean up, Lei Luo is destined not to stop moving forward.
In this case, the seat under his Uzumaki Makoto's ass should also be moved to a higher place, how can the country of the river be compared to the country of the wind?
In particular, the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind is a diehard who eats the ancients, and his family has been bloodied by Lei Luo and others, and the regime composed of cabinet officials sent by the Land of Fire cannot limit his military boss Makoto Uzumaki.
There is no need to form a small parliament in the territory that has been seriously conquered, and the small country councillors in the country of Kawanokuni cannot be replicated in the country of wind.
Makoto Uzumaki...... You ......"
Seeing Uzumaki Cheng's virtue, Lei Luo was a little speechless, he frowned and pondered for a while, turned his head sideways and glanced at Fu Yue, and after the other party came over, he asked:
"Fugaku, do you want to be the Hokage of the Second Village after the war? Or continue to be the root leader? ”
In the current situation, a series of subsequent policy formulations in the Land of Wind need to rely on the power of Makoto Uzumaki, and this Sand Hidden Village will most likely evolve into the third village of Konoha in the future.
Uzumaki should be the Hokage of the third village with all his feelings, and Lei Luo had no choice but to find a qualified Hokage vacancy in the second village from among his capable henchmen.
Hearing this, Fuyue was a little confused for a while, as if he didn't expect the title of Hokage to hit his head all at once, but he quickly reacted, and instead of answering in a hurry, he asked tentatively:
"Hokage-sama, what do you mean?"
Fu Yue's performance can be called cautious, and it can be said that he is cautious to the extreme, but Lei Luo doesn't have so much time to talk nonsense, and says bluntly:
"You have made a lot of meritorious deeds now, I, Lei Luo, am not the kind of person who is mean to heroes, Fuyue, whether you want to be the second village Hokage or not depends on your personal wishes."
A pie fell from the sky, but Fu Yue didn't dare to take it, noticing the impatience in Lei Luo's eyes, his brain spun rapidly, weighing all kinds of thoughts left and right, and only after more than ten seconds did he give an answer:
"Hokage-sama, I think the root leader is still quite suitable for me, and if you want to be the Hokage of the second village, please choose another talent, I'm really embarrassed."
After that, Fu Yue smiled shyly, Lei Luo saw that the other party politely refused, but he did not continue to persuade, glanced at Lu Jiu on the other side, and saw that he did not have the slightest desire to speak, so he had to spit out turbid breath and wave his hand to everyone:
"Forget it, we'll talk about this later, let's go."
Lei Luo walked forward first, Lu Jiurao glanced at Fu Yue meaningfully, didn't say anything, and quickly followed.
And Makoto Uzumaki smiled and leaned into Fuyue's ear, whispered a word, and left as quickly.
Fu Yue was the only one left, and he was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to realize that Lei Luo and the three of them walked away, and hurriedly trotted a few steps to follow.
'Long enough?' Makoto Uzumaki: This is ...... Are you praising me? ’
His gaze stopped at the fiery red back in front of him, Fu Yue's expression did not change, and he thought silently in his heart, thinking about whether there was something wrong with his response just now.
The reason why he refused the position of the second village Hokage and insisted on choosing to be the root leader is that although there are many reasons, but on the whole, one conclusion can be obtained: the root leader is much more valuable than the second village Hokage, especially ......
At a time when the war of unification is gradually heating up, and the two countries have been incorporated into the territory of the Fire Country.
After the experience of the root leader in the past few years, Fu Yue's political wisdom is far from the old fritter like Makoto Uzumaki, even compared to the junior Lu Jiu, but his vision is indeed much higher than before.
It is foreseeable that as the army of the Fire Nation sweeps through more and more countries, it is likely that there will be some Hokage of the Fourth Village and the Fifth Village in the future, which will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
If there are more Hokages, they will naturally be worthless, even if that position is strictly speaking, it still belongs to the traditional concept of feudal officials, but it belongs to the judicial system and has the power to supervise the root of the parliament......
Undoubtedly, it represents the will of the central government.
The germ of the empire is thriving, and the borders of the Fire Nation are constantly expanding, and it is easy to see what the word central means in such a huge country that has never been seen before.
The roots, unconsciously, are about to become part of the power center of the Fire Country, especially since this department also has Guanghui as a backer......
As long as Lei Luo doesn't fall, Lei Luo still cares about Guanghui, and Guanghui doesn't fall, then the root will never fall, and he will never be kicked out by anyone.
And will Lei Luo fall? Guanghui, who immediately gave birth to Lei Luo's first child, will it fall? Apparently impossible.
All of the above factors belong to Fugaku's intuition, and they are also the fundamental reason why he rejected the second village Hokage, this fragrant bait.
Having come to this day step by step, and witnessing Lei Luo gradually approaching the goal of world unification step by step, the pattern in Fu Yue's heart will naturally not be as small as before.
Second Village Hokage?
Even if it's the Hokage of Konoha native, he doesn't plan to change it!
"It's finally here, Sand Hide's Secret Library."
Hearing the sound in his ears, Fu Yue came back to his senses and noticed that the three of Lei Luo had stopped, so he also stopped, and looked up at a closed door in front of him, with something like a seal on the door.
"Makoto Uzumaki."
Casually rushed forward and raised his hand, Uzumaki Cheng nodded, and made a seal as he walked forward, and soon touched the seal on the door with his palm, and suddenly, circles of cyan light bloomed.
The sealing technique is being lifted at a rapid pace.
Lei Luo looked at the means of unlocking the seal that Uzumaki Cheng had obtained from Luo Sha, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart:
After so many days, he came to collect the ninjutsu materials of Sha Yin, this kind of slack behavior is really a bit undeserved.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Jiu happened to mention this matter after Luo Sha surrendered today, he really couldn't remember it.
It's all because of the remnants of the sand in the country of the wind, the so-called guerrilla ninjas, who really made him anxious, I just hope that Luo Sha's follow-up persuasion to surrender will go smoothly......
Otherwise, the Fire Nation Defense Force doesn't know how long it will drag on in the quagmire of war in the Land of Winds.
