This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 399 The Fourth Hokage?

The Twin Towers.

This modern 28-story building, like a pair of sharp swords piercing the sky, has its exterior walls covered with dark blue chakra-proof glass that gleams in the sunlight.

Minato Namikaze stood in front of the panoramic glass platform on the top floor and took a deep breath.

"Che's taste is as good as ever."

Shuimen looked around.

As Nishikawa Tetsu said, since the two companies have not yet fully moved in, the upper floors of the building are currently empty and so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, making it an ideal place for confidential meetings.

Riding in the glass-walled elevator that leads to the upper floors, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but marvel at how perfect it was for enjoying the view.

What impressed him most was the view from this top-level platform.

Standing here, it feels as if the entire Hidden Leaf Village is under your feet.

Looking north, you can see the old town area, which is shrinking in a fan shape.

Although it is undergoing renovation, you can still feel the care and effort that our ancestors put into planning the village from here.

Looking further into the distance, you can even vaguely see the majestic faces of the Hokage of each generation on the Hokage Rock.

To the south lies the bustling Konoha New District. Wide asphalt roads crisscross like a spider web, with shopping malls, hotels, and towering apartment buildings stretching as far as the eye can see.

What truly amazed Minato was the newly completed Konoha Ecological Park, located right next to the east side of the building.

From a bird's-eye view, the entire park is centered around a huge artificial lake with crystal-clear water that shimmers in the sunlight.

In the center of the lake is a small island made of white jade, connected to the shore by several winding wooden arch bridges.

The park is shaded by lush trees and features a variety of rare plants. It also cleverly uses chakra temperature control technology to create miniature landscapes representing the four seasons in different areas.

"During the day, it's a vibrant green treasure trove. But at night..." Minato recalled what Nishikawa Tetsu had said, "Using ambient lights hidden in the lakebed and tree canopy, the entire park transforms into a dreamlike, glowing forest."

"Holding a meeting here can indeed bring a strong visual and psychological impact to those filmmakers from other villages."

Beyond the ecological park lies the Death Forest, a vast expanse of green that is quite soothing to behold.

Minato pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket that looked like doodles, but this paper was anything but simple.

That was the conference room renovation sketch he obtained from Nishikawa Tetsu in exchange for the condition that he would be "a dedicated driver for the Flying Thunder God that would be available on call for the next six months".

Although it was called a sketch, Che actually finished drawing it in less than a minute from beginning to end.

Although he felt he had lost a lot of money, looking at the breathtaking designs on the sketches, Minato had to admit that the money was well spent.

"Shikaku." Minato turned to look at Nara Shikaku, who was leaning against the glass curtain wall and yawning.

"I'm here, I'm here." Lu Jiu rubbed his eyes and walked over.

"According to Che's sketch, we need to add a semi-transparent dome made of chakra metal to this platform, which can both ensure lighting and serve as a physical isolation layer to prevent eavesdropping and explosions."

Shuimen pointed to the details on the blueprints and arranged things methodically.

"The conference table should be made of thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood, in a circular shape, representing the five great ninja villages being equal. Each seat should be equipped with a hidden holographic projector and a simultaneous interpretation system—I have already informed the research institute about these, and Director Orochimaru and Mizuki will fully cooperate."

"As for security..."

Minato's eyes sharpened; security work could not be taken lightly, it was of paramount importance.

Even if he felt that Konoha was actually very safe, and that very few people in the entire ninja world could hurt these Kage.

But sometimes security isn't for those who want to cause trouble, but for these shadowy figures.

The more emphasis is placed on security, the more importance is placed on this meeting.

"Each floor of the Twin Towers will be protected by a barrier, and three checkpoints will be set up in the elevators and stairwells, guarded by a mixed team of elites from the secret service and the police department."

"No one may set foot on the top floor except for the five Kage and their personal guards who are attending the meeting."

"Furthermore, have the Hyuga clan members keep their Byakugan active around the clock, scanning the underground and high-altitude areas around the building. This is the first Five Kage Summit in many years; it's such a big deal, we can't afford the slightest mistake."

That's right. It's been decades since the last Five Kage Summit, back when several villages were dividing up the Tailed Beasts.

As Lu Jiu listened, he quickly jotted down notes in his notebook, muttering under his breath:

"Understood. But Minato, don't you think we're becoming more and more like capitalist Toru Nishikawa's hired hands?"

"He just talks a big game and we have to run ourselves ragged to make it happen."

Shikaku sighed helplessly.

"I even suspect that his proposal to build this Konoha International Conference Center was not only for the Five Kage Summit, but also to rent it out at high prices for commercial events and make money in the future!"

After all, the actual owner of this building is Nishikawa Tetsu!

"But there's nothing we can do. We can't think of a better location, so we have no choice but to ask this capitalist for help."

"Be more confident, Shikaku. Remove the word 'doubt' from your mind."

Minato smiled after hearing this.

He patted Lu Jiu on the shoulder: "Don't you know Che's personality? He'll never let go of something that can benefit both sides. But as long as we can secure the greatest benefit for the village, it's worth it even if we work hard."

Minato walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the bustling Konoha.

"Moreover, I have a premonition that this Five Kage Summit will become an extremely important turning point in the history of the ninja world. Everything we are doing now is paving an unprecedented path for Konoha and the entire ninja world."

Lu Jiu closed the notebook and stretched.

"Alright, since the future Fourth Hokage has said so, what can I, his little assistant, complain about? Let's get to work!"

"Hey, Shikaku, don't talk nonsense. The Third Hokage is in his prime." Minato waved his hand quickly upon hearing this, a hint of unease flashing across his gentle face. "Besides, there's Jiraiya and the others in the village, how could it be my turn..."

Lu Jiu shrugged, rolled his eyes, and a shrewd look shone through his perpetually sleepy eyes.

"Minato, what are you doing playing games with me here?" Shikaku leaned lazily against the glass wall, arms crossed. "Who doesn't know that the Third Hokage entrusted you with such a crucial matter as the fate of the ninja world, precisely to prepare you as his successor?"

"For this Five Kage Summit, the Third Hokage even specifically requested your name, appointing you as his personal bodyguard. What does this mean? It means he's officially launching you onto the highest political stage in the entire ninja world!"

Why were the three disciples of the Third Hokage all in the village, while Minato was chosen as their bodyguard?

All I can say is that those who know, know!
