"Your Highness the Daimyo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, accompanied by Konoha's high-ranking officials, came to greet them personally.

"Every year I think about how far away Konoha Village really is."

The old man sitting in the carriage lifted the curtain, holding a teacup in his hand, and spoke.

His face was covered with wrinkles from old age, and he wore a fan-shaped court hat.

He was just an ordinary old man dressed in glittering clothes to hide his frail body.

However, neither the ninjas around them nor the higher-ups of Konoha dared to slack off.

This person is the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

They control the political and economic lifeline of the Land of Fire.

The development of the ninja village absolutely depends on the funding from the daimyo.

The village of Sunagakure is so poor not only because of its geographical location, but also because the Daimyo of the Land of Wind doesn't think highly of them.

This led to some ninjas in Sunagakure becoming dissatisfied with the daimyo.

However, very few ninjas dared to disrespect the daimyo.

Killing a daimyo is the greatest crime a ninja can commit, and such an act will result in the ninja world being on their wanted list.

This is a tacit consensus shared by the leaders of all countries.

"The mountain road was too bumpy."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire alighted from the carriage.

"Your Highness, I will send earth-style ninjas to repair the road."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"There's no need for that. It's a waste of resources and manpower. This is, after all, the world of ninjas. No matter how rugged the mountain path is, it's like walking on flat ground for you."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire shook his folding fan.

"Your Highness, what about that carriage behind us?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed that the carriages behind him were significantly different in style from the carriages near the daimyo.

"That was the daimyo's carriage from the Land of Demons, and it just so happened to be traveling with me."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire spoke.

The Land of Demons has always remained isolated in a corner of the world, and has never had any conflicts of interest or wars with the Land of Fire.

Therefore, he had a good impression of the daimyo of the Land of Demons, as both of them had noble daimyo blood flowing through their veins.

"Ahem... Third Hokage, this should be our first meeting. Our Land of Demons has entrusted Konoha with quite a few missions before."

The carriage behind them lifted its lid, revealing an old face.

Beside him stood a woman of great elegance and noble bearing.

"You're welcome."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke.

He knows about it.

It was Asuma and Kiyoshi's group who were tasked with this mission.

I heard that Kiyoshi did a great job, and the daimyo of the Land of Demons even gave Kiyoshi a lot of money.

"The ninja world has been quite unsettled lately, so we came here. Hopefully we won't cause any trouble for the Third Hokage."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire then turned his attention to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately understood why the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Land of Demons had come.

It's nothing more than worrying about their own lives.

As the war progressed into its later stages, the entire ninja world became even more chaotic.

Even the guards around the daimyo were all ninjas, and they had all possessed considerable strength.

But if we're talking about the safest place, it's definitely inside the ninja village.

"You all came here because you trust Konoha, so why would I be in your shoes?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed.

He then summoned a member of the Anbu ninja and gave him a few instructions.

"These ANBU will be responsible for the safety of the Daimyo in Konoha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said solemnly.

This is also an opportunity for Konoha.

Once the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is satisfied, he will surely receive more funding.

Furthermore, the daimyo of the Land of Demons is also present this time. If they are well protected, they might attract daimyo from other countries in the future.

This way, we can achieve the same goal as the Chunin Exams.

This demonstrates the village's strong capabilities and attracts more investment and project assignments.

These will greatly help Konoha's post-war recovery after the war ends.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire nodded in satisfaction.

The daimyo of the Land of Demons asked:

"I wonder if Kiyoshi-kun is still in the village?"

“Uchiha Kiyoshi is here.”

Mitomon replied.

As an advisor to the Hokage, he has the right to speak in such a setting.

"Could you please call Mr. Kiyoshi? Only he can cure my serious illness."

The daimyo of the Land of Demons coughed a few times.

Since the crisis involving the demons was resolved, the side effects left by the demons have continued to torment the daimyo of the Land of Demons.

Without Kiyoshi's treatment, he estimated that he would have passed away several years ago.

The daimyo of the Land of Demons had considered death, but the one thing he couldn't let go of was the priestess.

"Say less."

Maitreya gently parted his red lips.

The daimyo of the Land of Demons looks even older than he did a few years ago.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that...his days were numbered.

"no problem."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

Kiyoshi is still helping Kushina acclimatize outside the village's barrier before they set off, so they'll be in the village for a few more days.

……

"The Daimyo of the Land of Demons has arrived?"

As Kiyoshi listened to Guren repeat what the Anbu ninja outside had said, a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.

Coincidentally, his shrine maiden chakra hadn't been replenished in a long time either.

It should be noted that by coming into contact with the priestess and practicing her sealing techniques, coupled with the effects of the spell, he gained the "demon-slaying" attribute for his chakra.

According to Kiyoshi's experiments, this attribute has a certain suppressive effect on tailed beasts.

Such attributes will also be available in future versions.

For example, one of the bosses in "Boruto" is a creature named Jura, which is a part of the Ten-Tails in human form. It has self-awareness and can perfectly use the power of the Ten-Tails.

In other words, he is the perfect Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

If Kiyoshi can control the power of the priestess, combined with the power of the Sharingan, he will have a great advantage in dealing with Juro.

These bosses might attack the ninja world prematurely under the influence of Kiyoshi's butterfly effect.

After all, in the ninja world, there are several ways to travel through time.

Even if the current timeline is not the problem, there is still the possibility of other timelines invading.

Naruto used the Dragon Vein to travel to the past and met Minato Namikaze.

Boruto and Sasuke also traveled back to Naruto's childhood, and another time they traveled to the Warring States period and met Uchiha Hikaru.

"Thanks a lot."

Qing Si patted Hong Lian's head, but did not go there immediately.

He is about to begin cultivating the "Shadow" level of vocabulary.

Kiyoshi obtained Jonin-level entries for all five basic attributes, including "Yin" and "Yang".

A few days ago, after obtaining the four techniques "Lightning Release: Scattered Strike," "Lightning Release: Shadow Clone," "Lightning Release: Lightning Ball," and "Lightning Release: Lightning Bind" from Samui, Kiyoshi received a new entry.

[Entry: Lightning Release: Shadow (Gold)]

[Requirement: Learn more than twenty Lightning Release techniques.]

[Progress: (80%).]

[Effect: Your understanding of Lightning Release chakra nature transformation increases by 300% from its original level.]

Your progress in developing "Lightning" Release ninjutsu has increased by 300% from the original level.

Your speed of training "Lightning" Release ninjutsu has increased by 300% from the original level.

Your "Lightning" Release ninjutsu effect has been increased by 300% from its original value.

Your resistance to "Lightning" Release ninjutsu has increased by 300%.

You can learn other "Lightning" Release ninjutsu much more easily, increasing your efficiency by 300%.

[Advanced Path 1: Defeat the current Raikage to obtain the "Raikage Doujinshi" (gold).]

"I've already learned many Lightning Release ninjutsu, I only need these four more. In another week I'll be able to max out all of them."

Kiyoshi glanced at the progress on the entry panel.

He was more interested in the following terms.

"Doujinshi Raikage?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

He was very curious about the effect of this entry.

Kiyoshi had a premonition that this would be an entry related to endurance.

"In about a week, we should be able to finish things here, and then I'll take Kushina to the Cloud Village front."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

The timing is about the same.

This battle has reached a critical stage, and the Fourth Raikage will likely make his move.

When Kiyoshi defeats it, he will obtain a new entry.

The current Fourth Raikage is far weaker than the Third Raikage, who could fight ten thousand men single-handedly.

The Fourth Raikage's greatest advantages are his large chakra reserves and his high speed.

However, Kiyoshi also possesses these two qualities, and does them far better than the Fourth Raikage.

"We'll have to go and see for ourselves to find out the specifics."

Kiyoshi closed the entry panel.

On paper, strength does not fully represent a ninja. For example, Rock Lee at his peak had a chakra level of "refined" 7 according to the Book of Ninja, while Hiruzen Sarutobi, in his old age and declining condition, only had a chakra level of "refined" 6.

But can we say that Hiruzen Sarutobi can't beat Rock Lee?
