The name "Grael's Stone" sounds a bit familiar, and I'm sure it should be something that appeared in the original work.
But after so many years, he could no longer remember those details.
I can only go out and try my luck.
"Are you going to search outside the Snow Country?"
Fenghua Xiaoxue pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "While my brother is away, I will also innovate the system of the Kingdom of Snow according to the plan."
Menma nodded and reminded: "Remember to take Yakumo with you. That child is very sensible and is about the same age as you. You can also be friends."
Kurama Yakumo's potential and talent are indeed very strong, but his personality and abilities are not suitable for head-on combat.
Before she can completely transform her talents and potential into strength and master the transformation of "Idu" personality and master personality.
Menma planned to let her serve as Fenghua Koyuki's bodyguard first to protect Koyuki's personal safety.
At the same time, it is also necessary to monitor some nobles and officials who may have evil intentions to take preventive measures.
"I know~"
Fenghua Xiaoxue stuck out the tip of her tongue and complained a little delicately: "Then I'll go back first, otherwise the third wife and the others will nag me again."
Seeing Ma nodded, he walked out of the door briskly.
Click.
Just close the door.
The sneaky dog Asama Satafu suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Your Highness Xiaoxue."
He asked with an uneasy look on his face: "Your Majesty, the Standing Master of the Kingdom, do you have any new instructions?"
Xiaoxue, who was startled, came to her senses and couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
"There is no explanation..."
Fenghua Xiaoxue rolled her eyes, and suddenly said with a serious face: "But my elder brother gave me a suggestion, and I think I can really give it a try."
"What advice?"
"Dig an open space underground in the Land of Snow to establish a research institute and processing plant. At the same time, we will recruit skilled craftsmen in the country to speed up the research and manufacturing of chakra armor."
After hearing His Highness Xiaoxue's words, Mr. Asama couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Although having a powerful ally like Chi Yue does bring many benefits to the Snow Country.
But the relationship between His Highness Xiaoxue and Tianzhi Yuzhong has been too close recently.
The third wife was really afraid that His Highness Xiaoxue would lose his mind for a moment and be turned into a puppet daimyo with name but no power by Tianzhi Yuzhong.
"Any suggestions? Good suggestions."
After saying that, the third wife asked casually: "How much money does your highness plan to invest?"
"Hmm, five billion taels?"
As soon as this number came out, the third husband stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"How many, how many?!"
"Five billion taels."
After Fenghua Xiaoxue finished speaking, she added: "The initial investment is five billion taels."
As soon as these words came out, the third wife's eyes widened instantly.
Five billion taels?
Or is it an upfront investment?
After he came to his senses, he was trying to persuade her.
But looking at Fenghua Xiaoxue's back getting farther and farther away.
"Your Highness Xiaoxue, alas..."
In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and trotted to catch up.
………………
At the same time, on the streets of Konoha.
Dong~dong~dong~
An old man wearing bandages and walking on crutches walked among the crowd.
There was a bit of decadence in the gloom, which attracted the attention of passers-by.
"It's gone, there's nothing left..."
Shimura Danzo walked with a lost look on his face, not paying attention to the strange looks from passers-by.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had quietly released his confinement.
But now that Danzo had lost everything, he did not feel any gratitude or joy.
That guy Sarutobi values his reputation and status most.
The reason why I let him go was not because I was soft-hearted.
But in order to make him the target of public criticism, he continued to hide in the dark underground with a black blame on his back.
Those families knew exactly what he had done.
Without the support of these families, he would never have been able to become Hokage in his life.
What's more, there are only two or three kittens and puppies left in the entire root.
Now he is no different from a lost dog.
"well!"
Danzo sighed in despair and walked like a zombie.
But when he reached an intersection, his steps suddenly stopped.
Immediately, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Really, how could I forget."
There is no one at the root now, so what’s the use if it’s gone.
It's better to take this opportunity and go back to the clan to have a good rest.
Thinking of this, Danzo turned around and walked towards the Shimura family.
But his sudden turn caused him to collide with the person behind him.
Bang!
Danzo, who was very haggard both physically and mentally, was staggered by the impact.
His feet could not help but weaken, and his whole body fell backward.
"Is I actually that old? That I was knocked down just like that?"
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
Danzo couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face, and let his body fall backwards.
But right now.
Danzo suddenly felt his arm being pulled by a strong arm, and then a strong force pulled him up.
Before he could react.
The man who pulled him up bowed deeply to him and said with an apologetic tone: "Grandpa, I'm so sorry."
Grandpa?
"hehe."
Hearing this title, Danzo couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I didn't expect that one day I would be called grandpa. It seems that I am really old."
He waved his hand helplessly and was about to turn around and leave.
But when the man in front of him stood up straight, Danzo's eyes suddenly widened.
"Uzumaki Naruto?!"
Seeing the familiar appearance of the man in front of him, Danzo couldn't help but exclaimed.
It turns out that it was no one else who bumped into Danzo.
It was Uzumaki Naruto whom he had just met not long ago.
"Grandpa, do you know me?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly, keeping a gentle smile on his face.
At the same time, within the sealed space.
Namikaze Minato couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw Naruto and Danzo meeting.
How could this guy Danzo appear here? How could he meet Naruto by such a coincidence?
Could it be that he deliberately bypassed Sandai in order to get in touch with Naruto?
Countless thoughts flashed through Minato's mind, and finally he quickly reminded him: "Naruto, he is Shimura Danzo."
"This uneasy and kind-hearted guy must have deliberately approached you, you..."
Just didn't wait for him to finish.
"Hahaha! Yondaime, are you going to laugh to death?"
The Nine Lama, who was held in Kushina's arms at the side, couldn't help laughing loudly: "Can't you see who is the prey and who is the hunter now?"
As soon as these words came out, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but be stunned.
Prey and hunter?
Immediately, he seemed to remember something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
So, when Naruto suddenly changed his route just now, he saw Danzo Shimura?
"My son actually regards Shinobi's Darkness as prey?"
