I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 145 145. Gathering in the Country of Waves

The Country of Waves was actually occupied by Uzushio Village.

After learning the news, Orochimaru was also a little surprised. Although Uzushio Village has a powerful ninja like Uzumaki Menma, it is a newly established ninja village after all. Even if there may be support from Konoha behind it, it should be more low-key. yes.

This act of proactively occupying a neutral country will undoubtedly give other major ninja villages an excuse to go to war.

For example, Kumogakure and Iwagakure would definitely not let go of this opportunity to annex a small country.

But then he thought about whether this was Uzushio Village showing strong force to the outside world in order to gain recognition from other ninja villages. But in this case, his previous judgment was completely wrong.

Could it be that Konoha is not behind Uzumaki Village, and is it really supported by Menma Uzumaki's personal strength?

After thinking for a long time, Orochimaru came up with the idea of ​​​​going to the Land of Waves to have a look. Anyway, he is now a rebel ninja of Konoha and Akatsuki organizations, and there are not many places in the entire ninja world that can be a safe haven.

A few days later, Orochimaru appeared at the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Waves.

Looking at the black dot-like island of Wave Country in the distance, Orochimaru used his psychic technique to take out the ring from the viper's belly. After removing the seal on the ring, he crossed the sea with confidence.

After arriving in the Country of Waves, Orochimaru shed his snake body and turned into a fair-skinned young man wearing a bamboo hat, and began to communicate with fishermen.

After a simple conversation, Orochimaru obtained a lot of useful information.

Cardo, the actual ruler of the Country of Waves, provoked Uzushio Village, but was killed by Uzushio Village. Even the shipping company was not saved, and he directly became a force under Uzushio Village, facing the crisis of reorganization.

After occupying the Country of Waves, the leader of Uzushio Village did not continue the shipping company's thinking. Instead, he implemented preferential policies for the people of the Country of Waves. He also valued scientific research talents and planned to build a bridge to the Country of Fire.

Such behavior made Orochimaru narrow his eyes slightly, and he was very curious about Uzumaki Menma. .

After all, Uzumaki Menma's various behaviors are not like the leader of the Ninja Village, but more like a secular daimyo. Combining the power of the daimyo and the leader of the Ninja Village into one, his future ambitions must not be underestimated.

From a fishing village in a remote area, we arrived at the company port of the Country of Waves.

After the war that day, the company's port quickly returned to business. It was said that the Country of Waves would be built into a port city, specifically responsible for trade between major countries.

After hearing the new terms from the person in charge, Orochimaru became more interested in Uzumaki Menma.

Unlike the corrupt and stubborn Third Hokage, Payne, who claims to be a god, this young leader is obviously willing to accept new things. If there is a chance, he plans to meet and chat with him.

At this moment, Orochimaru looked at a merchant ship docked in the Country of Waves, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Besides him, there were more people interested in Uzushio Village. There were no less than ten ninjas in this boat, and even people he didn't expect came.

It can be expected that in the next few days, the Country of Waves will become a zone of concern to all countries.

…

In the country of waves, inside the company building.

Naruto frowned as he looked at the thick stack of documents in front of him. Although he was not as strong as the thirty-year-old Naruto at his young age, he was no less capable in terms of workload.

With so much workload to deal with all day long, it's no wonder that thirty-year-old Naruto stays up late and works overtime every day without much improvement in strength.

Fortunately, his workload is only temporary. As long as this transitional period is passed, he can be a hands-off shopkeeper and leave all the work to his subordinates.

Seeing this scene, Zabuza was a little glad that he didn't fight for the Fifth Mizukage.

If his original plan with Kito Mangetsu was successful, if he really became the Fifth Mizukage, having to carry such a workload every day would be no different from being in jail in the Mizukage Building.

This was completely different from the carefree life he had originally envisioned after becoming Mizukage...

Squatting down for a moment, Zabuza complained to Shiro: "Shiro, you should become a combat ninja from now on, clerical work is not suitable for us."

Shiro was quite interested in these documents and retorted: "But these are high-level jobs. Mizukage-sama just doesn't care about anything, so Kirigakure Village became like that..."

"Only a conscientious leader like Menma-sama is a good leader."

Zabuza was speechless and glared at the whites of his eyes.

Bai was obviously the child he had picked up, so why was his face numb towards Uzumaki now, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, an Uchiha ninja knocked on the office door. After getting permission, he walked in and said to Naruto: "Lord Menma, the ninjas of Kumogakure and Iwagakure want to see you!"

Naruto stopped what he was doing, nodded slightly and said, "Let them come in."

Not long after, Kumogakure and Iwagakure ninjas appeared in the office.

After entering the office, they saw the figures of Zabuza and Haku at first sight, and immediately frowned when they noticed Kirigakure's forehead protector.

After being glared back by Zabuza, he looked at Naruto wearing a mask and said with an arrogant attitude:

"Are you the leader of Uzushio Village? We have received a request from Cardo. If you recognize the situation, we will quickly take people out of the country of waves. We don't want to take action."

After hearing this, Naruto had no reaction, but Zabuza looked surprised.

Are these Kumo ninja and Iwa ninja looking for death? Or have you never heard of the reputation of the leader of Uzushio Village? However, the leader of Uzushio Village does not have much reputation in the ninja world.

Thinking of this, Zabuza realized that the opportunity to show his loyalty had come, and he directly took out the beheading sword, as if he was ready to start a fight at any time.

After seeing the beheading sword, several Cloud Ninjas and Iwa Ninjas were frightened, but they seemed to be sure of something.

After looking at each other, they said in a contemptuous tone:

"I asked how the Uzushio Village ninjas who had been extinct for decades appeared. It turned out to be an organization supported by Kirigakure. You Kirigakure occupied the country of Waves. Aren't you worried about indigestion?"

Naruto frowned slightly and made a gesture to Zabuza, and then these people were thrown out of the office.

This group of ninjas who are not even jounin are obviously cannon fodder that Kumogakure and Iwagakure came to test. The real jonin leading the team is probably still hiding in the Land of Waves, waiting for their reaction.

A few words with these people will make his status as leader worthless.

At this time, Shisui, who was out on patrol, returned to the office, whispered a few words to Naruto, and reported on the ninja forces from various countries hidden in the country of Waves.

Among them were ninjas from Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha, and even Sunagakure sent people over.

In addition, Shisui also noticed that the number of snakes in the Land of Waves had increased significantly, which meant that Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, had also sent people over.
