Land of Wind.
Sand Hidden Village.
Kazekage Tower.
Fourth Kazekage Rosa was sitting motionless on his desk, exuding a decadent aura.
Just four days ago, his wife Gareth … died.
The cause of death was dystocia due to premature birth.
The reason for the premature birth was that Chiyo had been clamoring all day long to make the child in Jia Baruo's womb a jinchuuriki. This caused Jia Baruo, as the mother, to be in constant fear and anxiety, which eventually led to the premature birth, which was followed by dystocia, and finally, death!
Knock Knock!
There was a knock on the door.
"Fourth Kazekage, I know you're inside, come out quickly!"
Chiyo's voice came from outside the door, with a disgusting aura, "How long are you going to hide? Gareth is dead, as the Kage of the village, you have to come out of your grief as soon as possible! "
Rosa gritted his teeth, if it weren't for this old woman's nagging all day long, Gareth would never have been born prematurely!
"Fourth Kazekage, the Daimyo has sent a letter, because we lost the war with the Rock, the village's budget will be reduced by 30% this year!"
Chiyo's voice came from outside the door like a devil, "Do you know what this means? Wood Leaf and the Rock will become stronger day by day, and we, who lack funds, will decline day by day! You must stop this from happening! Fourth Kazekage, please take responsibility as the Kage!! "
Rosa opened the door with a blank expression, behind the door was Chiyo's face that was getting older.
"Elder Chiyo, you … are getting older." Rosa slowly said, he didn't speak for four days, his voice was a little hoarse.
Chiyo's eyelids trembled slightly, "Are you complaining or do you think I should retire?"
"All of them!"
Rosa stared at her with bloodshot eyes, "If it weren't for you saying those words to Gareth all day long, how could she have been born prematurely?"
"Fourth Kazekage, premature birth is not the cause of death!"
Chiyo said, "Gareth's cause of death is dystocia!"
"You mean Gaara killed Gareth?" Rosa gritted his teeth.
"I'm just stating an objective fact!"
Chiyo snorted and then changed the topic, "Fourth Hokage, I don't care what you think, but Ichibi Shukaku must be sealed into Gaara's body and become an important weapon to protect the village!"
Rosa sneered, "What if I refuse?"
Chiyo slowly lowered her eyes and said, "The hero of the village, Pakura, has been missing for many days. It's time to find her whereabouts."
"What do you mean?" Rosa's face darkened.
"You should understand what I mean." Chiyo looked at him expressionlessly, "If Pakura was framed by the people of the village, then no matter who that person is or what position they hold, they must be severely punished!!"
Creak creak …
Rosa began to grind his teeth. At this moment, he couldn't wait to swallow this old woman!
Chiyo's face showed no fear as she calmly opened her mouth: "Fourth generation head, when this matter is over, I will retire with Hai Laozang. After that, the village will be handed over to you."
Rasa suppressed the anger in his heart. After a long while, he nodded with difficulty. "Remember your promise!"
Night.
Fourth generation Kazekage Rosa officially put the Ichibi Kazekage into Gaara's body. The next day, Chiyo and Hai Laozang, as senior consultants, announced their retirement at the same time!
…
Land of Fire.
Wood Leaf.
After a day and night of investigation, Kakashi has successfully found out the background of those small gambling houses.
At noon the next day, Kakashi went to Po Shui Mun to report the mission.
"Naruto -sama."
During the mission, Kakashi didn't call Minato-sensei. He handed over a scroll with one hand and said, "This is the information I got from my investigation. Everything is inside."
Po Shui Mun took a look at it, and his face slowly became serious.
The small gambling houses that emerged recently in the village were owned by the same person, a ninja named Miyauchi Erlang!
And according to the Anbu's information, this ninja named Miyauchi Erlang was from Root!
Danzō Shimura?!
Po Shui Mun instantly understood a lot, then looked up and said, "Kakashi, you go and rest first."
"Yes." Kakashi disappeared instantly.
Po Shui Mun put the scroll on the desk and continued to read.
According to Kakashi's investigation, the capital flow of these small gambling houses wasn't large, but when added together, it was nine digits per month. But in terms of taxes, they only paid a little!
Po Shui Mun's face was heavy. "Using these small gambling houses to quickly raise funds … Is it because I cut Root's funds?"
Although there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, you really don't take me seriously by doing this!
Po Shui Mun immediately shouted, "Genma!"
"Yes!" Huo Genma immediately pushed the door and entered.
"I will hold an emergency high-level meeting at three o 'clock. Inform the four consultants immediately." Po Shui Mun ordered.
"Got it!" Don't Know Fire Xuanma answered and quietly went out.
Soon, Sarutobi, Utatane, Mitokado, and Danzō Shimura received the information.
The first three were a little puzzled, because they had a meeting yesterday. As for Danzō, hehe.
At 2: 50 in the afternoon, Po Shui Mun went to the conference room early to wait, and after a while, Sarutobi and the other three arrived.
After they sat down.
Sarutobi took the lead and said, "Yondaime, why are you in such a hurry? Is there something important?"
Po Shui Mun nodded and said, "It's a big deal."
After he said that, he took out the scroll that Kakashi gave him and handed it to Sarutobi and said, "Sandaime, please."
Sarutobi solemnly took the scroll, after reading it, he glanced at Danzō.
Danzo instantly felt a deep sense of malice coming towards him.
Then, Sarutobi handed the scroll to Utatane, then to Mitokado, and finally to Danzō.
After a little glance, Danzō knew that he was the target of this meeting.
"Yondaime, what do you mean?"
Danzō closed the scroll and looked at Po Shui Mun with his one eye, then he snorted and said, "It's just a small casino, why do you need to make such a big fuss?"
Po Shui Mun raised a finger and said, "First, gambling is very harmful, once you get addicted to it, it will damage your physical and mental health, and if it's serious, you will lose your family fortune, and you will embark on the path of crime, which will seriously affect the development of the village!"
Po Shui Mun raised a second finger, "Second, these casinos have a capital flow of nine digits, but the taxes they pay are only a few hundred thousand! It will seriously damage the interests of the village! "
"Third!"
Po Shui Mun raised a third finger and stared at Danzō seriously, "Advisor Danzō, the funds of these casinos will eventually fall into your pocket, right?"
Danzō sat there calmly and said, "No, the funds will go to the root, I didn't take a penny."
"Danzō, why are you doing this?" Utatane looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Because Yondaime cut the budget of the root by half, I had no choice but to do it." Danzō said.
"The decision to cut the budget of the root and the Anbu was the first decision made by Yondaime Naruto, we shouldn't oppose it."
Sarutobi looked down and said with a faint tone, "Moreover, the war is over, and the village's commissioned tasks are increasing day by day, it's reasonable to cut the budget of the root and the anbu, and let the ninjas of these two departments to solve the village's commissioned tasks. Danzō, I really don't know why you did this."
"Everything I did was for the Wood Leaf!"
Danzō glanced at the people in the room and sneered, "You all think that the war is over, but since the death of the first Naruto, there have been three world wars, who can guarantee that there won't be a fourth one?"
Sarutobi frowned and was about to interrupt, but Danzō didn't give him a chance.
"Yondaime! I have nothing to say about cutting the budget of the anbu, but the root can't! "
Danzō said, "If the anbu and the root cut the budget at the same time, it will inevitably affect the collection of intelligence, what if another war breaks out at this time? The Rock has defeated the Sand, and it's possible for them to invade the Wood Leaf, and the cloud's army is still wandering outside the border, the shadow of war will come again at any time, so in any case, I … "
"I understand what you mean."
Po Shui Mun interrupted him, "You mean, the anbu and the root can't cut the budget at the same time?"
Danzō frowned, he did say this, but …
Without waiting for him to refute, Po Shui Mun continued: "Then I decided to increase the budget of the Anbu, Advisor Danzō, don't do these things in the future."
"You …"
Danzō got up and stared at Po Shui Mun with a pale face, "You! You!! "
"This is the first thing, the second thing, I just said the harm of gambling, so in the future, the Wood Leaf will no longer allow gambling!"
Po Shui Mun smiled, "Advisor Danzō, what do you think?"
Danzō's face twitched slightly, he just stared at Po Shui Mun without saying a word.
Po Shui Mun didn't get angry, he continued: "The third thing, Advisor Danzō, please make up the taxes that these small gambling houses pay."
Danzō was so angry with Po Shui Mun that he couldn't help but explode, "I said, I didn't take the money from the gambling houses!!"
"But the money went to the root, didn't it?"
Po Shui Mun showed a bright smile, "If Advisor Danzō can't control the root, I can send someone …"
"I understand!!"
Danzō's face turned black, he interrupted Po Shui Mun, "I will … make up the taxes!!"
"That's good."
Po Shui Mun nodded, "Then, the next thing is about collecting taxes, from the gambling house incident …"
"I'm not feeling well, I'll take my leave first." Danzō really didn't want to see Po Shui Mun's face, he got up and left with a sullen face.
Sarutobi was sitting on the side, his mood was very complicated, he finally sighed.
He was somewhat pleased with Minato's growth, but he also felt sad for Danzō, but all of this has nothing to do with him.
As for Koharu and Homura, the two of them looked at each other and were shocked by Po Shui Mun's means, a trivial matter directly put Danzō in a dilemma, terrible!
