Behind every war lies nothing more than the word "interests".

Wars are waged to plunder more resources or to divert internal conflicts.

With Konoha's unparalleled military strength and the Land of Fire's economic power, Kiyoshi could make the Land of Fire's currency, bearing the Konoha mark, the hard currency of the ninja world's trade.

Most importantly, his strength can serve as an absolute guarantee of credit, making the currency circulation of the Land of Fire much stronger than that of the other major countries.

"Imagine other countries, such as the Land of Wind, needing to buy food from us or commission tasks from us."

"They must first exchange their own country's gold, silver, mineral resources, or special products for our Land of Fire currency, which bears the Konoha mark. We only need to use printing presses and special anti-counterfeiting chakra ink to exchange them for their hard-earned tangible wealth out of thin air. This is the most basic 'seigniorage'."

"And the weaker a country is, the less credibility its currency will have in the ninja world."

Kiyoshi paused for a moment, then continued to explain to Tsunade.

In short, to put it simply, one unit of Fire Country currency might require two units of Wind Country currency.

Therefore, Qing Si said he was not short of money.

All you need to do is keep appreciating the currency of the Land of Fire.

In this way, he can reap the economic benefits of the entire ninja world. In addition, the export of chakra technology products, led by the "Chakra Armor," will allow the Land of Fire to develop more and more rapidly.

Kiyoshi let the female ninja straighten the last wrinkle in his Hokage robe and waved for her to leave.

Only he and Tsunade remained in the office.

"What, are you short of money again?"

This statement was clearly sarcastic.

Tsunade gave Kiyoshi a disapproving look.

This traitor!

Is this how you see me?

Tsunade bit her lip and asked.

She made a move to nudge him with her elbow, but Kiyoshi seemed to have anticipated it, gently turning aside and at the same time reaching out to casually brush away a strand of golden hair that had been ruffled by the wind from her forehead.

This gesture was slightly intimate, but not inappropriate.

Tsunade's body stiffened slightly, but she didn't dodge; she simply snorted and said:

"What kind of behavior is this, getting handsy and touching me like that!"

"Isn't it only natural for a disciple to care for his teacher?"

Kiyoshi withdrew his hand, his tone returning to seriousness, but the smile in his eyes had not faded.

"Glib tongue!"

Tsunade turned around, her back to him, to hide her slightly flushed cheeks.

"Come on, the entrance ceremony is about to begin."

She waved her hand and walked towards the door, though her steps seemed a little faster than when she came.

"I'm going to Kumogakure in a few days. Will you come with me?"

Kiyoshi said.

He wanted to give the gift to Tsunade during this time.

Tsunade paused, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

Then he said:

"This needs to be classified as an S-level mission, and remember to pay the reward."

After saying that, Tsunade hurriedly walked out.

"..."

Kiyoshi watched her departing figure, then turned his gaze to Konoha outside the window.

Next, it's time to gather the resources that can help his eye power grow.

Oh no, it's those new shoots that carry the future.

……

Ninja school.

Many students gathered in a large field, followed by their parents.

Kiyoshi used a "Body Instant Technique" to arrive on the field, looking down at the huge crowd below.

He has been expanding enrollment and encouraging childbirth.

In this way, the population of the ninja world will increase.

Meanwhile, more and more people are dying.

Those souls can then become nourishment for the divine tree.

Kiyoshi planned to use natural energy, dark chakra, tailed beast chakra, flesh and blood imbued with bloodline limits, and souls as nourishment for the Divine Tree.

Compared to Kaguya Otsutsuki's Devil Fruit, Kiyoshi's Devil Fruit will inevitably bear fruit faster and be stronger.

Once swallowed, it is estimated that one will possess the strength of the "Six Paths Level".

As Kiyoshi entered, the Ninja Academy principal immediately shouted in a loud voice:

"The Fourth Hokage...has arrived!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the playground fell silent.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Kiyoshi responded with a faint smile.

He wore a white Hokage robe with red flame patterns embroidered on the hem, and his black hair was loose down his back.

In an instant, almost all the children held their breath.

"That's... Lord Hokage!"

"He's so handsome..."

"Younger than I imagined!"

A murmur arose among the crowd.

Kiyoshi's gaze swept across the audience.

He saw Naruto's black eyes filled with fighting spirit, saw Sasuke's innate pride, and saw the group of children who would become the future of Konoha.

"Today marks the beginning of a new era."

His voice echoed clearly across the vast playground.

"The future of ninjas lies not in the scars of war, but in new hope. Each and every one of you will carry the will of Konoha and create your own light."

"Regardless of background or talent, every child of Konoha is a seed to protect this land. The future of ninja will be written by your own hands."

The sunlight shone on Kiyoshi's profile, making him appear exceptionally gentle.

At that moment, all the children listened quietly.

Sasuke pursed his lips, his gaze resolute.

That was his father, that was his pride.

Sakura Haruno crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes sparkling with longing.

"so hot……"

She whispered softly.

Ino chimed in from the side, her cheeks slightly flushed:

"He looks even more handsome than in the magazines."

Shikamaru tilted his head and sighed.

"This is such a hassle... but it's also pretty cool."

Naruto's eyes were shining, and his whole body was trembling.

"I want to be Hokage too!"

He suddenly shouted, which caused bursts of laughter from those around him.

Kiyoshi was slightly taken aback, then revealed a faint smile.

The wind picked up a bit, causing his pristine white robes to flutter wildly, the bright red characters for Fourth Hokage on the back of the robes resembling flowing flames.

"The fourth generation master has taken the stage."

Uchiha Izumi looked at Kiyoshi above.

She's a senior student, not a student admitted this year.

But you can also come and see what's going on.

Through the techniques taught by Qing Si, her physique was greatly improved.

He is currently among the top students in school and is eligible to graduate early.

However, Izumi Uchiha didn't want to graduate so soon.

"A lot of people."

Ziwan was also on the list of students admitted this time.

Looking at the huge crowd, she thought to herself that they would be her classmates soon.

"Remember to train in ninjutsu with Kiyoshi as often as possible."

Maitreya opened his mouth.

She looked up at Kiyoshi, who was standing on the high platform ahead, young and tall.

Miroku knew that the ninja academy taught only a limited amount of material.

What she values ​​is the opportunity for Aster to integrate into Konoha and gain access to these connections.

After all, Konoha is a place where everyone, regardless of status, whether they are from noble families or commoners, is included.

Anyone who has the potential to become a ninja will attend the ninja academy.

The difference is that some commoners can't even afford the tuition, while those ninja clans with a tradition will train their clansmen in ninja skills before they even enroll in school.

They already possess secret techniques and bloodline limits, and with the guidance of their clan elders, they have a head start, allowing them to get ahead from the very beginning.

The gap is widening.

"I see."

Aster nodded.

She reminded herself that she must always remember the priestess's mission.

He diligently trained in ninjutsu.

The entire entrance ceremony quickly came to a close with Qing Si's speech.

As the crowd dispersed, Kiyoshi arrived below.

"Kakashi, why are you here too?"

Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow and looked at Kakashi.

He had one hand in his pocket and the other hand reading "Icha Icha Hell".

The pages were yellowed, which shows how many times Kakashi had read it.

"Seiji."

Kakashi yelled.

When there are few people around, his greetings become much more casual.

"Well, I came with Minato-sensei."

Kakashi replied.

He didn't have any tasks lately, and since he had nothing else to do, he came along.
