Chapter 147 Big Deal, the Uchiha are on their way (Something came up, so this is the first chapter).
After recommending talent to Nagato, Tetsuya remembered something else.
"By the way, is your Amegakure short of money?"
When his teacher suddenly asked this question, Nagato assumed that Tetsuya was also planning to allocate funds to Amegakure.
He quickly waved his hands and said.
"No, there's no need to trouble you, teacher. Our Amegakure Village is doing well right now. Since we reopened the trade routes and started trading again, the village's economy has improved a lot. You don't need to give us any money, teacher."
Tetsuya smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Haha, you're dreaming, kid. When did I ever say I was going to give you money? I'm the daimyo of the Land of Grass now, and governing this country requires money. Where would I get so much money to give you?"
"Oh, this..."
Nagato felt so embarrassed that he felt like he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with his toes.
"What do you mean by that, teacher?"
Tetsuya poured himself a glass of wine, downed it in one gulp, and smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Hehe, I've had an idea for a while now that you control Amegakure, this idea finally has a chance to come true. I plan to spearhead a big deal."
"A big deal?"
Nagato was somewhat puzzled.
Here, look at this.
Tetsuya took out a terrain map. The terrain map was different from a regular map. It mainly marked the terrain and landforms of a place.
Tetsuya pointed to the Land of Rain and asked.
"I ask you, what is the most abundant thing in your Land of Rain?"
What is the most abundant thing in our Rain Country?
Nagato thought for a moment and then spoke.
"It's rainwater."
After receiving the answer, Tetsuya pointed to the Land of Wind once again.
“That’s right. And look here, the Land of Wind, what do they lack most?”
"The water is fresh water."
Nagato immediately understood what Tetsuya wanted to say.
"That's right, it's water. You see, the Land of Rain is constantly rainy all year round, with abundant rainfall, so the country has rich water resources."
Although the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain border each other, due to the terrain of the ninja world, the western part is higher than the eastern part. This causes the rainwater from your Land of Rain to flow into the Land of Grass, the Land of Fire, and the Land of Rivers. This is one of the reasons why the Land of Fire is rich and our Lands of Grass and Rivers are lush with vegetation.
Listening to Tetsuya's words, and with the help of this terrain map, Nagato nodded thoughtfully. To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen the ninja world from this perspective.
"Then look here. If a river were to be dug from the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain to bring water resources into the Land of Wind, do you think the people of the Land of Wind would agree?"
Nagato thought about it seriously.
"If they were ordinary people from the Land of Wind, they would probably agree, since water resources are extremely important for a place like theirs."
However, the people of Sunagakure probably wouldn't be too happy to see this happen. After all, once the river is successfully built, although the Land of Wind will gain water resources, they will also face the problem of us controlling their water supply. Even worse, they might worry that we will poison the water. If such a thing were to happen, the consequences would be far too severe.
"You have a point, but what if someone acts as a middleman to guarantee it?"
"this......"
Nagato understood Tetsuya's meaning.
"Teacher, do you mean you'll act as the middleman, bringing together the Land of Wind and our Land of Rain to do this deal?"
"That's right, just tell me, if this deal goes through, wouldn't it be a big business?"
Tetsuya said, extending his right hand and rubbing his thumb against his index and middle fingers.
"As long as this deal goes through, teacher, I won't ask for more. How about I take 30%?"
Nagato seriously considered the matter. In fact, he felt that the deal was quite feasible, since the Land of Wind was really short of water, and water resources were very attractive to them.
Despite the vast land area of the Land of Wind, there are only a few desert oases that are habitable.
If a stable water source could be introduced from the rain-rich Land of Rain, it would be an enormous boon for the Land of Wind.
"I think it's okay, but I can't make this decision on my own. I'll have to go back and discuss it with Yahiko and Konan."
"Alright, I was just letting you know first. After all, I'm busy right now, and I'll have to wait until I finish the enthronement ceremony, right?"
"Teacher is right. We should wait until you're done with your work before we talk about anything else."
"Haha, you've learned to flatter now, haven't you? Alright, let's not talk about that anymore, let's drink."
Tetsuya pulled Nagato into drinking. Although Nagato said she couldn't drink, the Uzumaki clan's constitution was what it was, and Tetsuya had also used Hashirama cells to strengthen them. It wasn't that they couldn't drink at all, but rather that they wouldn't get drunk.
Yes, that's right, I can't get drunk at all. The little bit of alcohol in ordinary drinks is broken down and absorbed very quickly after I drink it. My constitution is just that absurd.
Of course, Tetsuya's constitution is even more outrageous. Drinking alcohol is no different from drinking water for him; the only difference is that one has a taste and the other doesn't.
As the enthronement ceremony approaches, more and more delegations are arriving.
Even the delegations sent by the daimyo of the five great nations have arrived. Although they did not come in person, the delegations were of the highest rank, which can be considered as giving Tetsuya a lot of face. After all, the daimyo of other small countries do not have this kind of prestige.
Once this party is over, Tetsuya's official status in the ninja world will be second only to the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations.
Tetsuya sat in the newly renovated garden of the Daimyo Mansion, drinking tea, and asked the Salamander God Tatsu, who had become his little follower.
"The guests have all arrived, haven't they?"
Sanshoku-gami smiled obsequiously.
"Back in Daming, almost everyone has arrived, except for one family who haven't come yet."
Hearing that there was still one company that hadn't arrived, Tetsuya became interested.
"Oh? Which company is that? They're so impressive, arriving later than the delegations from the five major powers?"
"The representatives from Konoha Village haven't arrived yet. We received word earlier that they wouldn't arrive until the afternoon."
"Haha, Konoha, how interesting. The enthronement ceremony is tomorrow, but their people won't arrive until this afternoon. Are they trying to give me the cold shoulder?"
While he wasn't sure about other things, Tetsuya was very clear about one thing: Danzo would definitely try to sabotage the Konoha representative's attendance at his ceremony.
I just don't know which family's representative was chosen for this event.
If it's the Uchiha clan, then that would be really hilarious.
On the official road of the Land of Grass, a young Uchiha wiped the blood off his blade and slowly sheathed it.
"Damn it, who are these guys? How dare they make a move in a place like this?"
"Fugaku, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Mikoto. How are Tao and Yashiro?"
The other two Uchiha also defeated their respective opponents and joined Fugaku.
"I am fine."
"I'm fine too."
Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his two companions were unharmed.
"It's good that everyone is alright. Let's hurry on our way. If we miss the ceremony for the Daimyo of the Land of Grass, then our Uchiha clan will be in big trouble."
