Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

In the Hokage Building, the three generations of master and apprentice Sarutobi Hiruzen sat together and exchanged opinions.

"I didn't expect that Kato Makoto is also an ambitious person. What's the difference between him and Danzo?"

Jiraiya recalled Kato Makoto's discussion on peace in the ninja world in the northern camp, and alarm bells rang in his heart.

The leader of the Root organization is clearly on the road to achieving his ideals and ambitions, and building a military alliance around Konoha is the first step.

The white-haired sage seemed to see the image of the Fourth Ninja World War, and it was another scene of corpses everywhere.

"This is a matter for the next generation, let Minato handle it."

The Third Hokage put down the pipe in his hand, looked at his disciple who was anxious and fidgeting, and sighed in his heart.

Jiraiya attached too much importance to peace, and the influence of Mount Myoboku on him was deeper than Sarutobi Hiruzen imagined.

I don't know whether it was right or wrong to let him come into contact with those toads.

Based on his decades of political experience as Hokage, he didn't think there were too many problems with Kato Makoto's method.

The Land of Grass, the Land of Fields, these countries have a special relationship with Konoha, so it is not a big problem to say that they are military alliances.

Makoto Kato wanted to let go of the things under the table.

It was not only to make the small countries that secretly enjoyed the favor of Konoha assume due responsibilities, but also to establish Konoha's circle, strengthen the influence of the Fire Country, and continue to suppress other major countries.

You know, the military is controlled by the Fire Nation, so how could the economy be far behind?

I'm afraid Daming Prefecture will agree with it wholeheartedly.

"Minato, what do you think of Kato Makoto's proposal?"

"I think we can first try it out in a small country close to the Fire Nation, and then make a final conclusion."

Minato Namikaze did not agree with the overly appeasement and tolerant foreign policy of the Third Hokage.

The Third Ninja War has proved that even if Konoha wants to live in peace with other major powers, it is just wishful thinking.

In view of this, Konoha must at least make certain changes.

"Minato, you..."

Jiraiya raised his hand, seeming to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

The teacher was right. The core of the next Konoha will be Minato and Kato Makoto. He could only suggest that Minato will be the final decision maker.

"I'll go talk to Makoto."

Golden Flash has great trust in Kato Makoto, and he also wants to work with his future arm to determine the direction of Konoha's development.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded. He saw the shadows of himself and Danzo in Minato Namikaze and Kato Makoto.

Unipolar operation will cause Konoha to deviate, and only by looking at both ends can it go further.

"Minato, get ready and come with me to meet the Daimyo. By the way, I will give the Yondaime's appointment letter to the Daimyo for his signature."

With the steady Namikaze Minato and the far-sighted Kato Makoto, Sarutobi Hiruzen has nothing to worry about.

As the future second-in-command of Konoha, Kato Makoto's mansion has become one of the most prominent residences in Konoha after rounds of expansion.

The surrounding neighbors kindly donated their occupied houses to the leader of the Root organization, hoping that the life of the Konoha hero would get better.

Makoto Kato did not forget about them and sent the talented children in their families to ninja schools so that they could serve in the Root organization in the future.

His friendly neighbor image spread far and wide, and even big businessmen from far away in the Land of Water heard of Kato Makoto's good name and bought houses next to Kato's house, wanting to be his neighbors.

However, Makoto Kato, who dedicated his entire life to Konoha, spent very little time at home, and it was difficult for these neighbors who admired him to meet the real person.

Today is an exception. It is the first day off after the war. After several years of busy work, Kato Makoto is lying under a tree in the yard, with a small red clay stove bubbling with steam and a set of exquisite tea sets at his side.

I took a sip and it was good. The special supply from the Land of Tea and the white porcelain from the Land of Earth, they are a perfect match.

"Danna, Lord Minato is here to see you."

After the sound of footsteps, Nono opened the door of the yard and told Kato Makoto the news.

Then he turned back to the kitchen and prepared to cut some fruit to serve.

"Makoto-kun, are you and Nonoyu getting married?"

Minato Namikaze brought Kushina with him, and Kato Makoto brought them to the yard and made them a cup of tea.

"Well, the war is over, it's time to give Nono an identity."

It's not a good idea to let Nono listen to the gossip in the village all the time, and it's not like Kato Makoto can't afford to take a concubine.

"Hmph, you big pervert! You just gave Sister Nonoyu the status of a concubine, do you want to marry a few more?"

Kuyukina has a very good relationship with Nono. She has come to Kato's house more than once or twice and is very familiar with Kato Makoto.

In addition, her sister avoided Kato Makoto after returning to Konoha, so there was no fishy going on. Kushina would never believe it.

"Hey! Don't ruin my reputation. Although the Kato clan is not as famous as the Uzumaki clan, it also has a long heritage. In order to continue the family, I have to resort to this bad measure."

Being exposed in public, and the person who was exposed was the future Hokage's wife, Kato Makoto coughed and covered it up.

When it comes to matters between men and women, he dares to do and admits it, and will not pass the pressure on to Nono.

If anyone wants to use this as an excuse, they can come and cause trouble for him. Kato Makoto promises that he will never let him suffer until the next day.

"You're still a bit responsible. You guys can chat. Nono and I have something to discuss."

Grabbing the fruit plate that Nono brought over and putting it on the table, Kushina pulled Nono and hurriedly out of the yard.

Faintly, words like "child" were heard by Kato Makoto from a long distance away.

It's not his fault for eavesdropping. The longer he transplanted Hashirama's cells, the stronger his body became, and his hearing also improved.

In the past, the work of refining natural energy required the spirit, but now the body can also take on part of it.

The practice method that had been unable to function for a long time finally started to work.

This reminded Kato Makoto of a word: immortal body.

Is it the absorption of natural energy that creates the immortal body, or is the immortal body itself a special existence?

Makoto Kato thinks the latter is more likely.

"Congratulations, Minato."

Makoto Kato held up his teacup and winked at Minato, who laughed.

"I didn't expect it to be so soon. It took Shikaku and Haiyi a long time after they got married before they had a child, but now I've caught up with them. Hahaha."

Minato Namikaze was not surprised by Kato Makoto's perception ability.

The spirit transformation technique involves the soul level and is very special. Combined with the spiritual insight of the Sharingan, it is normal that Kushina's movements cannot be hidden from his eyes.

The two chatted about trivial matters for a while. With the help of the wives' group, Minato Namikaze and Makoto Kato were not completely in the dark about each other's family affairs.

Relying on his previous marriage, Minato Namikaze also taught the key points on how to strengthen the husband's authority.

Kato Makoto declined the offer.

"Makoto, can a military alliance really bring peace to Konoha?"

After the distance was shortened, some in-depth issues could be discussed. Minato Namikaze did not forget the purpose of his visit.

"No, not only can't, it will also drag Konoha into the conflict, and it will require the Hokage to have extremely high ability to handle things."

Kato Makoto has his own considerations. As the second-in-command of Konoha's military, although the final decision-making power is still in the hands of the Hokage, he has a lot of room for maneuver.

Peace is a political necessity, but military is in his interest.

"Then you're still trying to argue?"

Namikaze Minato wanted to hear his explanation, but at the same time his attention was attracted by the statement that the requirements for the Hokage were extremely high.

"Without disputes, how can Konoha show its strength? If Konoha is not strong, won't it give confidence to those who are just watching the fun? Using disputes to stop wars, this is what I advocate. This requires the Hokage to have an extremely sharp vision, to distinguish between the primary and the secondary, and to see clearly between the enemy and ourselves."

Makoto Kato said a lot of empty words that he himself didn't even believe.

If you have the abilities of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, there's no need to think of any strategies, just push through and be done with it.

"Use disputes to stop wars and keep Konoha strong."

Minato Namikaze lowered his head and held the teacup, rubbing his fingers unconsciously.

This is indeed a way out, and the first Hokage also longed to exchange sincerity for sincerity and achieve peace.

But not long after his death, World War I broke out.

The Third Hokage never thought of taking the initiative to provoke disputes with major powers, but in the end he ended up being besieged by the four major powers.

We must not forget what our predecessors did. Since both paths are blocked, let’s try Kato Makoto’s strategy first.

Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato picked up the teacup.

"I will be heading to the Daimyo's mansion tomorrow, and will discuss this matter with the Daimyo. If it works, I will let you carry out the implementation."
