"I don't care about that anymore. You do your best!" Raikage A waved his hands, having already given up.
No one could stand his temper.
The main reason was that he didn't like anything.
"It serves you right to be lonely your whole life. I don't want to be like you; my Prince Charming is still waiting for me." Mei Terumī finished speaking and said to Chōjūrō, "Within one year, I want you to achieve the ability to be Mizukage. Otherwise, if you delay my wedding, I'll…"
As she spoke, she clenched her fists.
"Yes…" Chōjūrō stammered nervously.
Ōnoki said, "You need to change your temper, or no one will want to be in a relationship with you."
He thought he was advising the Mizukage as a senior.
He was a man with several sons and grandsons, a man of experience.
Crack!
Mei Terumī's fists tightened even more.
"Let's go, we'll take a stroll around Konoha, and while we're at it, see Konoha's development over the years and learn something."
Ōnoki quickly changed the subject.
He didn't want his old bones to get into a fierce battle with Mei Terumī.
At the same time, he also wanted to know the specific changes in Konoha.
From the intelligence, it wasn't intuitive enough; personal experience would be more insightful.
Mei Terumī was indeed distracted and unclenched her fists.
She was still the Mizukage, and she still had to consider these things.
In fact, whether it was Konoha or other Villages, the changes over these years had been enormous.
Except for some countries with strict customs, most countries were like this.
This was the impact after the World Ninja Association appeared.
It allowed Ninja to focus more on the development of a certain field, making Ninjutsu more specialized.
Whether in the technology, medical, or construction fields, all were developing rapidly.
The specialized became even more specialized.
Afterward, the group, accompanied by their guards, walked on the streets of Konoha.
Looking at the bustling crowds of Konoha and the modern streets, they were dazzled.
Compared to their Village, it was clearly more livable.
Everything seemed to have been rebuilt.
The streets were wider, and the roads were solid.
Both wide and spacious.
Various advertisements extended from the shops along the street.
"Wow~"
Killer Bee, carrying gifts, looked at the large screen in the distance, where several vaguely revealed advertisements of women appeared, his eyes sparkling with hearts.
It was exactly to his liking.
"Bee, don't embarrass yourself." Raikage A slapped him on the head.
Killer Bee said, "Yo yo, this is so wonderful, I can't help myself, please…"
"Shut up."
"Alright, alright, after the wedding, I'll explore more and gather intelligence on Konoha's development."
Despite being dazzled, the Kage all kept the changes in mind.
They planned to make corresponding adjustments when they returned to their Villages.
"That's a special vehicle manufactured by the Land of Fire Electric Company, but it's still being improved and can't be put into use yet. Currently, it's being tested on a small scale."
A Konoha Ninja said, looking at a passing vehicle.
The vehicle was full of technological sense and sped past them in a flash.
The driver was a man wearing a baseball cap.
"That's the arcade. It's currently the favorite facility for young people in the Village, effectively reducing the crime rate during adolescence and saving a lot of manpower and resources for the Konoha Military Police Force."
He then spoke about a large building they passed.
How large was it?
Over ten meters high, covering an area the size of four football fields.
There were all kinds of facilities, some they knew, some they didn't.
For example, they didn't know that arcades could reduce the crime rate of rebellious teenagers.
"So amazing!" Chōjūrō exclaimed in admiration.
"Is all this Kakashi's doing?" Ōnoki asked.
Kakashi didn't seem like such a smart person to develop Konoha so well.
They admitted Kakashi had some talent when it came to combat intelligence, but when it came to developing a Village, they didn't think Kakashi could do it.
It was well-known that Ōnoki and Raikage A were the best at developing their Villages, making them the most prosperous.
Their abilities and methods were also top-notch.
"I think Shikaku is behind the strategizing. That guy's really smart." Raikage A thought that the old man with the pineapple head was the root of Konoha's prosperity.
The reception Ninja said, "Haha, Senior Shikaku has already put down his work and handed over the position of assisting the Hokage to younger people. He rarely manages things anymore; he only offers advice and corrects direction when there are major problems. He's practically semi-retired.
These current achievements are the result of Senior Satoru's suggestions for Konoha's development, Shikamaru's adjustments to the current situation, and Hokage-sama's final decisions."
"It's that guy again. His ability completely surpasses the First Hokage." Raikage A said, listening.
His political ability was surprisingly strong, just like his combat ability.
Ōnoki said, "Didn't he say he was going to retire?"
Satoru had not been involved in affairs for a long time. According to intelligence, he was now always in his Technology Development Bureau, researching things.
Looking at Konoha's situation, there were no signs of his retirement at all.
"Haha, these are all ideas he revealed during his conversations with young people. After Hokage-sama learns about them, he makes corresponding arrangements." The reception Ninja chuckled.
Satoru indeed only held the position of Deputy Director of the Technology Development Bureau now, but he still communicated with people.
He had only retired, not died.
However, Senior Satoru was too amazing; every move he made could affect Konoha.
Now there were even dedicated Ninja who collected his inadvertently revealed words.
"It seems we still need to have a discussion with Kakashi after the wedding."
They were still the Ninja Alliance, considered one entity.
Seeing Konoha's development, they couldn't sit still.
"Sir, look there. That's Senior Satoru's residence. It was just completed not long ago, and he should be moving in soon."
The reception Ninja led the Kage to a high point in Konoha, pointing to an area on the outskirts of Konoha where a cluster of buildings appeared.
It looked not much different from other parts of Konoha.
"Is there anything special about this?"
Ōnoki asked, puzzled.
He didn't notice anything different!
"That entire area is Senior Satoru's House. I heard that just walking from east to west takes twenty minutes."
The reception Ninja was extremely envious.
This was what a rich person was like!
His salary for hosting the Kage wasn't even as much as the corners of Satoru's House.
"Nani?"
They were all stunned.
From the war until now, due to the creation of the Ninja Association, the recovery period was greatly reduced, but they still had many things that had not recovered.
They didn't expect that his own house was like this.
Could he have embezzled public funds?
It was possible given Satoru's status.
But no, even for Kage like them, it was very difficult to embezzle public funds!
"You're stunned, aren't you? I heard that some children, being playful, ran in and got lost for half a day, unable to find their way out. Senior Satoru personally escorted them out."
Although the reception Ninja was envious, he also felt honored.
