Chapter 602: Business and Dark Blade
".Can I meet my parents?"
Everyone looked at the girl in surprise, and then looked at Shiro in silence.
Shiro sighed, "As expected, this is also the wish you wish for the Holy Grail, right?"
"Um"
"I can do it." Seeing a smile begin to appear on the girl's face, Shilang couldn't help but shake his head and pour cold water on her. "But don't be too happy too soon. There is something I want to tell you. Be mentally prepared."
"What?"
"You're a clone, and the cloning process doesn't require the mother's participation. In other words, they just provide the material. Do you understand what I mean?"
The smile on the girl's face slowly disappeared, and she lowered her head with a depressed mood.
"Shiro!"
"I'm just telling the truth. It's for her own good. The greater the hope, the greater the pain when it's shattered."
"I know, but..." Kushina looked at the girl with heartache.
Shiro didn't urge her, but looked at her quietly, waiting for her answer.
After a while, the girl calmed down a bit, raised her head and looked at Shilang with determination: "Even so, I still want to see them. At least, I want to know what they look like!"
"." Shiro said nothing, silently looking at the girl's determined eyes.
"I understand. Well, I'll let you meet your parents in exchange for postponing the Holy Grail ceremony. Okay? This is a good time for you to think about what wish you want to fulfill. And a friendly reminder, it's best to choose something simple with a clear method. For example, wishing for a mansion and having it appear out of thin air, or having the materials slowly built, or having a sudden sum of money to buy it."
The girl was stunned and looked at Shiro in confusion. It was not because of the mechanism of making a wish, but because Shiro's exchange condition seemed to be missing one.
“Then adjust your body.”
"Oh, that, I was just fooling you. How could I not save you? But at that time, I said that it would be difficult for you to agree to other things. That couldn't be a condition." Shiro waved his hand casually.
".Thanks."
"You're welcome."
After the conversation, there was a long silence. Whether it was conditioning the body or summoning the dead, it was not a simple matter and all of these needed to be postponed.
However, Minato came much later than Shiro expected. Shiro arrived around noon, just after lunch. It was almost dark when Minato came out of the room wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt.
"Why are you here now? Are you still those old stubborn Uchiha guys?"
"Shiro! They are seniors no matter what, you have to respect them!"
Shiro shrugged, indicating that he understood. Of course, seeing him like this, Minato knew that he still didn't take it to heart and shook his head.
"Shisui's complete form gave them unprecedented confidence. No matter what, they always believed that we were afraid of the power of the Mangekyo, so they took the opportunity to imprison Shisui and demanded that he be sent back to the Uchiha clan."
"These old..." Shiro glanced at Minato and silently changed his tone, "Senior, really... How many days have you been quiet?"
"They should have communicated with each other beforehand. The purpose of this time is probably to strengthen the political power of the Uchiha. As for other things, I don't think they are that stupid."
"But this is already excessive. The impression of the Uchiha clan is too deeply ingrained in people's minds. It won't be reversed overnight. Especially at this time, if we strengthen the Uchiha clan's power again, other clans will think that the Uchiha clan used force to gain control of their territory, which will be very detrimental to the easing of relations between the Uchiha clan and the village."
"Yes, but the Uchiha have made great contributions in recent years. If Fugaku hadn't exposed the Mangekyō in the end and 'taken' them back, they might have really given in." Minato rubbed his brows as he spoke.
Because the Uchiha were indeed right in this matter. In recent years, the Uchiha had actively participated in the village's activities and had made considerable contributions. Logically, they should have obtained the corresponding status.
However, if the promotion was too fast, it would easily cause dissatisfaction and vigilance among other families, making the atmosphere that had finally eased tense again. Therefore, with Fugaku's cooperation, these achievements were concealed.
Now that these elders brought it up again, he really had no reason to refuse. Fortunately, after much persuasion, he finally waited for Fugaku's arrival, and now he has time to come back.
However, this matter cannot be resolved in a short time. Minato just mentioned it briefly, then turned his head to look at the girl who looked extremely similar to Kushina, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Shiro, tell me what you think about this matter."
"Me?" Shiro glanced at the girl. "My personal opinion is, fight! It won't be a big deal for me to destroy Kirigakure anyway, so I can just let the Daimyo of Water Country build a new one.
Of course, this is just my personal opinion. The actual situation must also take the village into consideration. So, we still have to fight, but not too hard, at least not completely destroy them."
"What's the reason? We can't strike too hard, but we can't let them have an easy time either. To do that, we must have a legitimate excuse. Without a legitimate reason, it's easy to start a war."
"Break the peace treaty. During the Three Wars, I told Lu Ming not to persecute the Uzumaki clan members anymore and not to spread the Uzumaki clan's unique sealing technique. Azu has the information about spreading the sealing technique."
"Hmm," Minato pondered for a moment, then looked up at the girl. "Do you want to kill the Third Mizukage? Don't feel any pressure. He's just a Mizukage. Just like Shiro said, the worst that can happen is that the Daimyo of the Water Country can be replaced. I want to hear your opinion."
"Hey? Me?" The girl woke up from her shock and looked at Minato in a daze.
"Well, don't feel any burden, including Shiro, we are all your family. Isn't this why we work hard to become stronger?"
The girl stared at Minato blankly, tears streaming down her face unconsciously. This was the only time in more than a decade that she felt at home.
Wiping away her tears, the girl shook her head and said, "Mizukage. Although he was the one who caused all this, he was still very good to me later. So, I don't hate him."
Minato and Shiro looked at each other, then looked at the girl: "In this case, I will put pressure on the Water Country in the name of the Hokage to remove the Third Mizukage. Shiro, can you take action?"
"Yes, I will have the Chamber of Commerce stop supplying all materials to the Water Country. At the same time, I will also intervene with the Daimyo and ask him to raise the relevant tariffs. Until the Mizukage steps down, the Water Country won't be able to import a single grain of food!"
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Shiro's eyes. After so many years of preparation, it's time to let the ninja world know the power of businessmen!
"The trade route? I remember the Water Country has been sending large amounts of food to it for a long time, right? Will shutting it down affect the trade route?"
"Don't worry, Elder Tiezhu. The thing the ninja world doesn't have to worry about selling is food. We can just put it into other markets. Besides, material trade isn't the core of the Chamber of Commerce. Let alone cutting off one country, even cutting off four countries won't have the slightest impact!"
“Hiss~~~!”
Tiezhu gasped and looked at Silang in shock. He had seen Silang and his team's plan before and knew that Shangdao's layout would be important, but he had never expected it to be buried here.
Before the troops move, the food and supplies must be sent ahead.
This principle is universal in all realms. If you suddenly run out of food during a battle,
Next, Shiro and Minato made a series of plans based on the current situation of the village and the Chamber of Commerce. Finally, Minato had a quick meal and returned to his post.
