Early in the morning, the huge team set off again in the morning light. The Utsunomiya brothers were sleeping in a large sedan. They slept too late last night, and unlike Aoyama, they didn't need to sleep.
After bidding farewell to Jiraiya and Naruto, who was also sleeping, Aoyama was full of energy. The team headed to the west of the Land of Fire, the territory of the Utsunomiya family.
The sun and the moon alternated, and they didn't stop along the way. Finally, they arrived at the territory of the Utsunomiya family. Utsunomiya Fujino, who received the letter in advance, temporarily put down his business and rushed back to the manor.
In the spacious hall, the three Utsunomiya brothers and Aoyama were eating.
"Lord Aoyama, thank you for your hard work. My son has troubled you."
Utsunomiya Fujino put down the chopsticks in his hand and said with a smile. Youyi and Youer had been writing letters to him about what happened during the gathering. Every other day, they would send the letters to him as fast as they could. Moreover, before the meal, the three of them had a short chat. It could be said that he knew everything about the gathering like the back of his hand.
"Lord Aoyama, you are too polite."
Utsunomiya Fujino looked at Aoyama's humble face, and his eyes flashed with a trace of satisfaction. The strength that Aoyama showed surprised him. He deliberately leaked the news to make the nobles of the Land of Thunder and the Land of Earth feel pressure, so he invited some masters from the Cloud and Rock villages to test Aoyama's strength.
When he received Koichi's letter, he was really surprised. Uchiha Itachi, Kisame Kisame, and Uchiha Uchiha, as a top nobleman, he was also very clear about the strength of Yuehua.
In addition to their strength, Aoyama's attitude when communicating with people was also very pleasing to the eye. At least, they were more pleasing to the eye than his son.
"Hahaha! Lord Aoyama, I recently heard that Root's work is very good. The small organizations inside the Land of Fire are basically cleaned up, and the risk of merchants is greatly reduced. Many nobles and merchants are full of praise. " Utsunomiya Fujino took Aoyama and the three Utsunomiya brothers back to the living room, and immediately, a maid served hot tea.
Yuehua's heart skipped a beat when she heard Utsunomiya Fujino's words. It was finally time to get to the main topic. Yuehua smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I'm worried right now. Root's funds are tight. I'm afraid there will be more problems when I go back."
"Is that so!" Utsunomiya Fujino took a sip of the hot tea. His posture was quite elegant, as expected of a great noble. However, Youichi, who was beside him, was not as fastidious as his father. He picked up the teacup and gulped it down. Then, he grimaced in pain as he stuck out his tongue to fan himself.
Utsunomiya Fujino glanced at his son who was drinking ice to cool himself down. He sighed helplessly. He didn't know who his eldest son learned from. He didn't care about trifles when he did things, but fortunately, he was very talented in politics.
"Lord Aoyama, I will be frank. I don't know if Root has the intention to cooperate with our Utsunomiya family?" Utsunomiya Fujino sat up straight and looked at Aoyama seriously.
Aoyama's eyes lit up, and he immediately became alert. Looking at Utsunomiya Fujino, he pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Aoyama, what kind of cooperation is it?"
"This is very simple. Root will provide the manpower, and Utsunomiya family will provide the money and food. It should be considered as a mutually beneficial cooperation. I hope that this will be a long-term cooperation, and I don't need to go to Kiba Village to issue missions. Just recruiting ninjas during this period of time is too troublesome." Utsunomiya Fujino rubbed his forehead.
After Root was absorbed by Aoyama, the ninjas that were sent to other villages were gradually recalled back to the village and reorganized. This included the ninjas that were sent to Utsunomiya Fujino. During this period of time, Utsunomiya Fujino had a headache for a long time. Without the protection of martial power, it was inevitable that his hands and feet would be tied. Fortunately, Aoyama finally returned.
"Wuu …"
A strange cry rang out. Youichi sat on the ground and twisted around. With a painful expression on his face, Youichi opened his mouth and let out a 'wuu wuu wuu' sound. However, Youichi was unable to spit out a complete word.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Youichi finally regained his strength. Holding onto the teapot and drinking a mouthful of warm tea, Youichi said with a stiff tone, "Just now, I had too much ice in my mouth, and my tongue is numb from the cold."
Feeling the veins on his forehead throbbing wildly, Utsunomiya Fujino loved and hated at the same time. Why can't this son of mine stop for a bit? Putting aside this scoundrel temperament of his, he is definitely the perfect successor.
"Lord Aoyama, it is my honor to be able to cooperate with Utsunomiya family." Aoyama was not affected by Youichi's mischief, and after thinking for a while, he agreed to Utsunomiya Fujino's request.
"Haha, Lord Aoyama, in that case, let's talk about the cooperation in detail." Hearing what Aoyama said, Utsunomiya Fujino was exulted. Without caring about Youichi who was mischief, he pulled Aoyama over and began chatting …
The forest in the courtyard was dense, and when the wind blew, the bamboo leaves rustled, and the sound of flowing water was pleasing to the ears. At the same time, the rhythmic sound of a sword cutting through the wind could be heard.
On the grassland, Aoyama's upper body was naked, and he was currently practicing his sword. Beads of sweat that were as big as beans slid down along his rock-like muscles, and under the morning light, the beads of sweat were shining brightly, causing the grass to sink down to his waist.
"Lord, there is a letter that was sent over from the village." A Root ninja squatted at the side of the grassland.
The Root ninja was wearing a dark grey inner garment, and on the outside of his shoulder, there was a picture of a dragon-like root, and on the outside, he was wearing a light green vest. This was the uniform of a Root ninja.
Meticulously, Aoyama continued to practice his sword. After a good while, Aoyama finished his morning practice, and only then did he pick up the towel that was hanging on the bamboo branch. While wiping his sweat, he walked over to the letter and began reading it.
… ….
"You can leave now." Aoyama waved his hand to dismiss the ninja who delivered the letter, and a smile appeared on his face. The matter that was written in the letter was very simple. The strength of Utsunomiya Family was not just for show. On the first day, they agreed to send a large number of resources to Root's base, from weapons to food, and all kinds of medical supplies.
At the same time, an astonishing amount of money was also transferred into Moonlight's account. With so many resources, not to mention maintaining the current operations of [Root], it was more than enough to expand the scale of [Root].
"This should have been prepared a long time ago, right?" Aoyama shook his head. Utsunomiya Fujino was indeed worthy of being the head of Utsunomiya Family, and he had prepared everything perfectly.
After reading the letter, Aoyama pondered for a while, and only then did he put away the letter in his hand and quickly went back to his room. After taking a shower, he changed his clothes. According to the letter, Haku had already brought people over, and they should be arriving today.
"It feels so good to have money! Finally, I don't have to worry about money anymore. "Aoyama stood in the corridor and stretched his waist comfortably. His mood was a lot lighter.
