Naruto: In the name of time, shock the ninja world!.

Chapter 304: Division of Regions

"We roughly divide the Ninja Realm into one city, four prefectures, and forty-three counties. In addition, due to geographical factors, four ports are specially established in four directions to manage the ships and merchants coming and going."

Nara Shikaku spoke clearly and introduced the situation to Hoshino Kaede.

Looking at the divided areas on the map and the names marked on them, Feng Hoshino examined them carefully.

"The first city is the capital of Konoha. These four prefectures were built on the basis of the buildings of the original four villages. Since the buildings are ready-made, they only need to be repaired and reused."

“In the remaining counties, field inspections will be conducted and the locations to be landed will definitely be carefully considered.”

Xingye Feng nodded, thinking that the division was quite reasonable, and said with a smile: "Not bad, this document can be distributed to everyone in the ninja world to have a look, and then they will act according to it in the future."

After he finished speaking, Nara Shikaku immediately nodded and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, Hoshino Kaede called him.

"Lu Jiu, you need to keep a close eye on the overseas officials and make sure you don't make any stupid mistakes."

Xingye Feng looked at him meaningfully, and said pointedly: "The Nara clan has always been smart, and each generation is better than the previous one. You have to pay attention."

"...Yes, Shikaku understands." Nara Shikaku felt nervous when he heard this. Is this... a warning? Or a reminder?

Although his heart was surging with emotions, he tried to keep a calm expression on his face and stepped back stiffly.

Xingye Feng looked at the list of people he was going to deal with earlier, his eyes gradually became deep, his fingers tapped the table regularly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Profits can move people's hearts. Strong fortresses are often breached from the inside. It depends on whether these little guys can resist the temptation."

In the empty room, only Feng Xingye was left muttering to himself. His voice was as soft as a mosquito or a fly, like a cloud of mist, visible but not touchable, audible but not visible.

At this moment, Nara Shikaku, who had just walked out of the palace, took one step and stopped three times. His thoughts seemed a tangled mess, but also like a calm lake, which became unclear at the slightest disturbance from the outside world.

"Sigh..." Nara Shikaku looked up at the sky, sighed deeply, and finally quickened his pace and walked towards the clan.

As the current head of the Nara clan and the Minister of Personnel, he has a very high status, but in the clan, there is another person who has higher qualifications and status than him, and that is his father, Nara Shikaichi.

This former Konoha elder is a treasure to the current Nara clan, as he is a bystander and can see many things more clearly.

When you are unsure inside, seeking help from others is one way to go, and it is not shameful.

After retiring, Nara Shikaichi lived in seclusion in a bamboo forest, fishing in the morning and taking a nap at noon. He was so leisurely that Shikaku drooled with envy.

In front of the bamboo house, Nara Shikaku stopped and looked at the distance with surprise.

"Father, how did you know I was coming to you?"

I saw Nara Shikaichi sitting on a chair with two cups of tea that were still hot.

"Hmph, I raised you, so of course I know you." Nara Shikaichi pointed to an empty chair beside him and motioned for him to sit down and talk first.

Nara Shikaku sat down without saying a word, without any politeness.

Seeing this, Lu Yi snorted: "You must have something to do, otherwise you should be very busy at this time, how can you have time to be here?"

Shikaku nodded, then stated his purpose, expressed his doubts and confusion, and sought answers from his father.

"Your Majesty's words are obscure and difficult to understand. Even Lu Jiu is confused and cannot understand the deep meaning."

"I was afraid of making a big mistake, so I came to ask my father for help."

Hearing this, Nara Shikaichi chuckled and said, "You are quite cautious. Whenever you are undecided, you come and ask me immediately."

Nara Shikaku scratched his head, feeling that there was something else behind these words.

Just as he was about to speak, Lu Yi interrupted him: "The secret guards have been frequently transferred recently, and I think there will be a big move."

"Could it be..." Nara Shikaku was very perceptive and immediately recalled what Hoshino Kaede said in the palace.

"It's probably what you think." Nara Shikaichi said after taking a sip of hot tea.

"I am familiar with your Majesty's temperament. He always keeps his word. Anyone who dares to intervene at such a critical moment will definitely not have a good ending."

"You are the Minister of Personnel, and you have a family behind you. Of course, you are fair and honest, but that doesn't mean your family is the same."

"High officials bring not only honor, but also disaster and desire."

After he finished speaking, Nara Shikaku immediately closed his eyes. How could he not understand what was said?

Everything is caused by the desires in people's hearts, and people who are obsessed with profit have appeared in the tribe.

"They are dragging down the family." Nara Shikaku's face was dark, showing that he was in a bad mood. "Don't you know the consequences of doing such a thing?"

"Haha, you are still too young." Nara Shika's face was calm, and he was not moved by external things. He had seen too many things like this.

"Check it carefully, it's not too late. Since His Majesty has pointed you out, it means you can be saved." Lu Yi said.

"Thank you for your guidance, father." Shikaku said with gratitude.

Hearing this, Lu Yi waved his hand and said indifferently: "If you are grateful, go home earlier in the future."

"Well..." Lu Jiu laughed awkwardly. "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

"Then do your best and don't be so fussy." Lu Yi glared.

"You know, your wife is about to give birth, and she's not home all day. If I hadn't cared about your face, I would have pulled you back by your ears."

Shikaku's face fell, and he nodded helplessly: "I know, I'll try it."

"Ok?"

"Yes, I promise to go home early!"

"That's more like it, get out!"

"okay."

......

The weather in October is full of poetry. There is a hint of coolness in the fresh air, and the sunshine is warm but not dazzling, as if telling the beauty of autumn.

It was in this climate that a young life came into this world.

In the VIP ward of Konoha Hospital, Kushina looked at the sleeping child in her arms with a motherly smile.

"Minato, look, this is our child." Kushina said gently.

"Stop talking for now and lie down and rest." Minato said with concern.

Looking at the two people being ambiguous at the moment, Namikaze Jinyue couldn't help but cry to Jiraiya.

"Woo woo, these two are too much. They don't care about other people's feelings at all."

Hearing his sister's cries, Minato helplessly reached out and rubbed her head: "Stop it, you are too fake, all thunder but no rain."

"Lululu." Jin Yue stuck out her tongue mischievously, making the atmosphere suddenly cheerful.

Jiraiya watched the fight between the few people with a smile on his face, with a look of relief.
