Chapter 415 Ecological Park
"This war without gunfire has only just begun!"
Nishikawa Tetsu looked out the window at the rising moon, stretched lazily, and his bones made a "crackling" sound.
As Nishikawa Tetsu had predicted, the negotiations in the attached office building below the international conference center were like a tug-of-war every day for the next few days.
The special advisory groups of each village would argue fiercely with Konoha in order to gain even a little more benefit or to reduce their obligations.
Minato and Nishikawa Tetsu, along with Shikaku and Yoshida Kazushima, worked almost non-stop, debating heatedly in the conference room during the day and working late into the night revising terms and calculating data.
In stark contrast, the Konoha International Conference Center, located on the top floor of the Twin Towers, is the main venue for the Five Kage Summit.
"Hiruzen, your new tobacco tastes pretty good. Where did you buy it?" Onoki, like the Third Hokage, took a puff of his pipe and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, this is an old shop on the old street in the village. The tobacco leaves are grown on their own and roasted using a special method. If you like them, I'll give you two jin when you leave."
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, puffed on his pipe, marveling at how technology could change lives. He remarked on how powerful the air purification system in the conference room was, noting that the smoke rings he had just exhaled were immediately absorbed.
The Fourth Raikage, A, sat on a large sofa, chewing on beef jerky while looking out the window at the scenery, occasionally interjecting a few words.
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, were chatting about the recent weather in their respective villages.
Yes, the Five Kage Summit these past few days has taken a sudden turn, completely transforming into a tea party for the leaders of the five major ninja villages.
In any case, the core "Framework Agreement on the Community of Shared Destiny of the Ninja World" has already been signed. As for the remaining details that require wrangling and nitpicking over the wording, the special advisory group downstairs will naturally take care of those.
Those of them who make films only need to drink tea, chat, and wait for the finalized details to be sent up downstairs for review and signature.
……
The third day of the Hokage Summit, morning.
Lobby of Konoha Hotel.
"Xiao Ming! Xiao Ming!"
A burst of energetic shouts broke the tranquility of the hotel lobby. The waiter frowned at the person who had entered, then immediately lowered his head, pretending not to have heard.
Mei Terumi had just accompanied the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and Elder Genji to the gate when she heard that familiar voice.
She turned her head and saw Kana Uzumaki and Shizune standing there.
"Kana? Shizune?" A hint of surprise appeared on Mei Terumi's cool face, which then turned into a smile.
Kana ran up to Mei Terumi, slightly out of breath from running so fast.
"Hehe, Kushina-neechan said you're on the Kirigakure delegation this time, so Shizune and I came all the way here to find you!" Kana pointed outside the hotel. "Come on, let's go to the ecological park today!"
Mei Terumi glanced at the Fourth Mizukage and Genji beside her. As a bodyguard, her duty was to protect the Mizukage's safety.
Just as she shook her head, preparing to refuse, Yagura looked at the three lively young girls in front of her and a smile appeared on his innocent face.
"Go, Mei Terumi."
Yagura waved his hand: "The rest of the meeting will be just casual conversation, and the security there is tight. With my strength, I don't need you to protect me all the time. It's a rare opportunity for you to come to Konoha, so consider it a vacation and have some fun."
Elder Yuan, leaning on his cane, smiled and nodded: "Go ahead, young people should make more friends."
The two of them thought that it was also important to build good relationships with the young people of Konoha, since they had thoroughly investigated the backgrounds of these two girls who had performed brilliantly in the Chunin Exams.
Their teachers were Kushina Uzumaki of the Uzumaki clan and Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin. Kushina Uzumaki's boyfriend was Minato Namikaze, the man whom the Third Hokage regarded as his successor.
Even the deputy finance minister, that little fox Nishikawa Tetsu, has a very good relationship with these two children.
To put it bluntly, building a good relationship with these two children is equivalent to building a good relationship with the future of Konoha, which is extremely beneficial to the future of Kirigakure.
"Yes, Lord Mizukage, Elder Genji." Mei Terumi nodded and bowed slightly.
On the first day of the Five Shadows Summit, she became very interested in the ecological park when she took the sightseeing elevator and looked up from above.
"Great!" Kana grabbed Mei Terumi's hand and led her outside like a little tour guide. "Come on, come on, let me tell you, the lake in the ecological park is so beautiful, it even glows at night!"
Three girls, each carrying a pink pig, chattered as they walked out of the Konoha Grand Hotel.
……
Muye Ecological Park.
This green jewel of Konoha's new district exudes a captivating charm even during the day.
Although it is early autumn, the park still retains the vitality of spring thanks to the temperature control system.
The tall trees provide ample shade, and sunlight filters through the leaves onto the stone path, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.
Wow! This place is huge!
As soon as Chanel entered the park, she ran around like a wild horse.
At the heart of the park is a huge artificial lake with crystal-clear water, where several unidentified water birds leisurely swim on the surface.
"Let's go boating!" Chanel pointed to several cute little boats moored by the lake, her eyes sparkling.
The three girls rented a pedal boat and slowly paddled on the lake.
A gentle breeze rippled across the water, bringing a refreshing coolness.
"It's rare to see such a tranquil body of water in Kirigakure," Mei Terumi remarked softly, sitting at the bow of the boat and gazing at the shimmering lake.
"That was before," Kana said with a grin as she pedaled. "Brother Che said that in the near future, everyone will be able to travel and play everywhere. When I come to Kirigakure to find you then, you have to take me to eat seafood!"
"Sure, as long as you're not afraid of seafood," Mei Terumi agreed with a smile.
"I'm not afraid at all! What's there to be afraid of about food!"
After boating, the three strolled along the tree-lined path by the lake.
Before we knew it, the sun began to set in the west, and the sky gradually darkened.
Just when Terumi Mei thought her day was coming to an end, the eco-park revealed its most amazing side.
As the light dimmed, the sensor array at the bottom of the park automatically activated.
"Buzz—"
A slight fluctuation of chakra swept across.
The next second, tens of thousands of ambient lights hidden in the tree canopy, the grass, and even the bottom of the lake lit up at the same time.
"Wow……"
The three girls gasped in surprise at the same time.
The once dark forest was instantly transformed into a dreamlike, luminous ocean.
Blue light flowed through the branches, like twinkling starlight.
A soft green light shone from the bottom of the lake, reflecting the entire lake surface like a giant piece of jade.
Even some unusual plants along the roadside emitted a strange fluorescent glow under the lights.
"So beautiful..." Shizune held Tun Tun, stunned.
"Brother Che must have put a lot of effort into making these things." It was also Xiang Nai's first time visiting the ecological park, and she was deeply impressed by the beautiful scenery.
Mei Terumi stood quietly under the glowing tree.
She looked up at the dazzling lights and felt an indescribable surge of emotion.
"A village that can create such a beautiful scene must have a strong determination to protect everything."
