Chapter 577 Uchiha Shizuka’s enlightenment!

Wow!
Amid the sound of the carriage, Uchiha Mei's pink eyes looked through the window at the fields outside.

"After all these years, Konoha has not changed!"

After she moved from the main house to the castle tower, she didn't say it in private, but she really never returned to Konoha in public, which shows the resentment in her heart.

"Do you think there can be any changes in the style of Konoha F4?"

Uchiha Shizuka, who was sitting opposite her and was also her deputy, spoke up.

She was not young at this time, but her face did not look old at all. Instead, she looked like she had returned to her youth.

It is not easy to increase the vitality of a castle tower, but it is really easy to maintain its appearance.

Just like the group of shrine maidens, they already have this basic welfare.

This basic benefit alone is enough to make the priestesses loyal to the maximum, not to mention that they can also possess extraordinary energy such as "spiritual power" and various material benefits.

All I can say is that the loyalty of this group of witches is at its highest point.

Ninjas would naturally not develop things like maintaining youth which did not improve their strength, but the castle tower had them directly.

As a high-ranking official, it's not surprising that Uchiha Shizuka looks like this.

"Right!"

Uchiha Mei nodded slightly.

correct!

Sarutobi Hiruzen and three advisory elders are collectively known as the 'Konoha F4' in the castle tower.

Although no one knew what the name Tangping meant, they could all appreciate the irony in it, so they all found it very interesting.

For example, phrases like 'King of Pots Danzo', 'The Strongest Hokage Fukiyose', 'The truth lies only within the range of kunai', 'Dignity lies only above the ninja sword' quickly became popular in the ninja world.

"I heard that there is another area of ​​seeds in Konoha that has problems this year!"

Uchiha Shizuka spoke meaningfully.

This refers to the 'seed war'.

Since ancient times, the seeds of the castle tower have been constantly stolen by various forces.

Not only do their grain yields are high, but they are also resistant to insects and diseases. They are simply excellent, so naturally all the major powers want to take advantage of them.

However, except for the mother seed, the genes of other seeds will collapse after a few years, so all major forces are determined to get the mother seed, and no one knows how many people have been sacrificed for this.

At the same time, the castle tower also kept producing fake mother species to deceive people.

Anyway, it will take several generations for the genes to collapse, which is fine for experiments, but if there are no problems after a few attempts, problems may easily occur when planting in large quantities.

"ask for it!"

Uchiha Mei showed a wicked smile at the corner of her mouth. She really liked to see other forces in trouble.

If these forces don't fall, how can their castle tower grow?

Anyway, she hopes that these forces will die, preferably all of them.

Even Konoha has the same mentality.

So when she heard that there was going to be an opportunity to do something dirty to Konoha, she ran to the front row to watch.

"By the way, why did you suddenly launch such a big plan? It doesn't seem like your style."

Uchiha Shizuka asked tentatively.

This is not just a test on her part, but also represents a large number of high-ranking officials in the castle tower.

There have been large-scale operations in the past, but they were all simple and crude, where troops were simply brought in to kill people, without making so many confusing preparations.

And even the Ghost Country was blocked.

You know, that place is one of their raw material supply sources. Even if it is blocked for a week, it will cause considerable losses. But this time it has been blocked for several months in a row, which is simply like going crazy.

That's why Uchiha Shizuka tried to test him from the side.

"Yeah!"

Uchiha Mei did not explain.

Because the information that Dohei had woken up from his slumber is now absolutely top secret in the castle tower, and the fewer people who know about it, the fewer people will know about it.

The less the top leaders know, the more their performance will confuse the enemy.

"... "

Uchiha Shizuka frowned, but did not continue the topic.

Because she knew that with the other party's sensitivity, he would definitely understand why she was testing him, but he avoided talking about it, which clearly showed that there was a problem.

As the thoughts raced through her mind, she felt a sense of familiarity.

This recent large and chaotic command style has appeared several times before.

And each time, the castle tower gained huge benefits.

Uchiha Shizuka suddenly thought of something strange.

It was during this period of time that the other party rarely, or even did not mention a single name.

You know, in the past few years, the other party would mention the other party almost every day, especially when they were "drinking to drown their sorrows".

But since a few months ago, the other party not only did not mention that name, but also did not even ask me out for a drink.

Does this mean that…

There was a hint of deep thought in Uchiha Shizuka's eyes, but for some reason, she felt a lot more relaxed.

You know, before, when she saw the entire castle tower being mobilized, she felt extremely depressed.

Now, even though the castle tower seemed to be undercurrent, she was not worried at all.

The carriage arrived at the main gate of Konoha.

"Get out of the car!"

Uchiha Mei took the lead and jumped off the carriage.

She was a ninja and was not used to being treated like a noble.

If Konoha hadn't insisted, she could have come here with just a few instant body movements. How could she have wasted more than half an hour in the carriage?

All I can say is that Konoha is completely a remnant of the old era. If it were a castle tower, it would not imitate the nobles in every way.

There was only one carriage, and the others moved around it.

Several shrine maidens were wearing red and white shrine maiden costumes, looking holy and beautiful, while the ninjas all wore forehead protectors with "sun patterns" painted on them.

It used to have a "天" character forehead protector, but now it has simply become like this.

This is also to promote Tanggu!
In order to promote Tangu, the new holy place, the castle tower spared no effort.

Nono even used the trick of "distributing food".

It was precisely because of the efforts of the castle tower that Tanggu was able to "overtake on the curve" and catch up with the three major holy places in just a few years, and it would not take long to surpass the others.

Although there is a lot of natural energy in the ninja world, the upper limit has long been fixed and it has to be divided among the four holy places.

But the energy of faith is different. Not only is it enjoyed exclusively by the castle tower, but it can also continue to grow.

With such great benefits, the castle tower will naturally promote it as much as possible.

As for why you need to bring a witch?

"so beautiful!"

"Where did these witches come from?"

...

The roadside merchants were whispering with the villagers of Konoha.

Yes, this is also the role of the witch.

The face of the store!

As representatives of the castle tower, their presence can win a lot of goodwill for the castle tower.

Who makes people's third views follow the fifth views?

The shrine maidens were orphans with good looks selected from a young age, and were brought up using the special methods of the Demon Country to ensure that their looks would not be distorted. In addition, the 'girls' were raised in wealth to cultivate their manners and appearance.

It’s hard not to be beautiful!

This is also the reason why we couldn’t train too many priestesses in the past.

In addition to knowledge, appearance consumes more resources.

An ugly witch?

Sorry, that's not called a shrine maiden, that's called a 'witch', the ninja world is so real.

Later, with the investment of resources from the castle tower, it was possible to train shrine maidens on a large scale. In addition, with the 'spiritual power' to maintain their youth, the average appearance of the shrine maidens has become much higher, ensuring that there are no ugly shrine maidens 'in service'.

Uchiha Mei came to Konoha in a high-profile manner. In addition to watching the show from the front row, she also took the opportunity to promote the castle tower to pave the way for poaching people later.

If Konoha suffered heavy losses in the Chunin Exams and some people 'temporarily' moved to the castle tower, Konoha would probably not be able to say anything.

"Mister Mei, this way please!"

Koharu Utane and her group stood at the village gate to greet them.

Yes, considering the current strength of the castle tower, Mei, the actual controller, is indeed qualified to be greeted by her, the advisory elder.

As for the previous grudges between the two sides, at least they will not be shown in public.

Soon, both sides arrived at the Hokage Building.
