Chapter 405: Visits to Two Countries

Then, the projection of the intelligent computer flashed again, showing two clear routes. "According to the plan of Umbrella, we have formulated two future options for each Jinchūriki. The first is to join the united front and become part of the military. You will receive further training and guidance to ensure that you can exert your greatest strength in future battles and protect our world."

"The second option is to retain your ninja identity but live mainly in the village. You will have the opportunity to participate in the construction of the new Konoha and contribute your own strength in peacetime. We will provide you with appropriate positions and resource support based on your strengths and interests."

The intelligent computer paused for a moment, waiting for the four people's response.

Bubble was the first to speak, his brows slightly furrowed, with a hint of doubt in his tone, "If we choose the second option, not to participate in the battle, but we are still Jinchūriki, will this decision bring hidden dangers to the village?"

The projection of the intelligent computer flickered for a moment, and then replied calmly, "Umbrella has already taken this into consideration. We will provide you with a dedicated protection and support system to ensure your safety and freedom. In addition, we will conduct regular assessments to ensure the stability of the power of the tailed beasts and avoid any potential risks. You can rest assured that this choice will not pose a threat to the village."

Bubble nodded slightly, obviously satisfied with the answer, and then fell into deep thought.

Feng also raised his own question, with a hint of hesitation in his voice, "If we choose to stay in the village, but later want to change our decision, such as joining the military, can we make a new choice?"

The intelligent computer responded calmly, "Of course. We encourage each Jinchūriki to adjust his or her direction at any time according to his or her own growth and needs. No matter what choice you make, Umbrella will fully support you and provide you with the most appropriate resources and opportunities. Flexibility is part of our management system, and we hope that you can achieve your greatest potential in the environment that is most comfortable and suitable for you."

Feng nodded gently, and the doubts in his heart disappeared.

......

Mei Terumi, Chojuro, and Ao had just stepped off the plane when they could not help but exclaim in amazement at the sight before them. The airport facilities at New Konoha were more modern than one could imagine, with tall buildings standing in rows, full of a sense of technology and modernity. The wide streets were lined with green trees, and the air was filled with a faint scent of flowers. In the distance, the towering buildings shone brightly under the sunlight, and the whole city seemed full of vitality and vigor.

Chojuro stood beside Mei Terumi and looked up at the buildings in front of him, his eyes full of surprise and admiration. "It's unbelievable, is this the Konoha Village we knew before? I never thought Konoha could become like this. And the plane we just took... can actually fly in the sky, it's incredible!"

Qing Ze looked around as he walked. Although he remained calm, his eyes still showed a hint of shock. "It's not just the buildings. The level of technology here is far beyond our imagination. Look at those tall buildings. They are totally not what we see in the Hidden Mist Village. It seems that the development of Konoha has far exceeded our imagination."

Chojuro nodded, his eyes full of curiosity, "Yes, and there are those food stalls everywhere, they look so delicious. It would be great if we could have such food in the Hidden Mist Village!"

When Mei Terumi heard the word "delicious food", her eyes lit up immediately, and her mood suddenly became cheerful. She began to imagine all kinds of delicious food in her mind. She bit her lower lip slightly, and a smile of anticipation appeared on her face. "Yeah, that's right! I must try the delicious food here, and there are also those beautiful clothes. I can't wait to go shopping!"

Qing glanced at Terumi Mei and shook his head helplessly, "Master Mei, you are about to become the Mizukage. You should pay more attention to the construction and development here, and not just think about food and shopping."

However, Mei Terumi didn't care about Qing's reminder. She stuck out her tongue mischievously and showed a playful smile on her face, "Qing, don't always be so old-fashioned! As a woman, of course I have to enjoy the good things in life. Besides, I finally came here, how can I not take a good look around?"

Mei Terumi handed her luggage to Chojuro without hesitation, and said in a commanding tone, "Chojuro, take my luggage. We will find a good place to eat and go shopping later. I want to relax today!"

Chojuro took the luggage reluctantly, but with a helpless smile on his face, "Yes, Lord Ming, you have the final say. But, are you really not worried about our business here?"

Mei Terumi gently patted Chojuro's shoulder and smiled even brighter, "Don't worry, I will certainly do the work, but we also need to know how to combine work and rest! We rarely have the opportunity to come to New Konoha, wouldn't it be a waste if we don't relax? Besides, I've never seen such a prosperous place, of course I have to enjoy it."

Chojuro sighed helplessly. Although he was worried, facing the excitement and expectation on Mei's face, he could only nod obediently, "Okay, Master Ming, we will listen to you. However, if you buy too much, don't forget that we still have to take these things back."

Mei Terumi blinked and a sly smile appeared on her face, "It's okay, Chojuro, I believe you can help me with these little things."

"Ah..." Chojuro pouted.

Seeing this, Qing could only shake his head helplessly, but he secretly decided in his heart that while Mei Terumi was enjoying food and shopping, he would take the opportunity to observe the construction and development of New Konoha. After all, the changes here were too amazing, and as a close confidant of the incoming Mizukage, he had the responsibility to bring back more useful information for the village.

The three of them set foot on the streets of Shin-Konoha in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Terumi Mei looked around and excitedly discussed the next shopping plan, while Chojuro followed behind her silently, carrying the luggage diligently. Ao followed closely behind, his eyes occasionally sweeping across the buildings and shops on both sides of the street, secretly taking note of all the changes here.

The bustling crowds on the streets, the dazzling array of goods, the magnificent buildings, and the high-tech facilities everywhere all made the three people feel shocked and curious. Mei Terumi's eyes were attracted by a luxurious clothing store, and she immediately pulled Chojuro and walked over quickly.

"Chojuro, the clothes in this store look amazing! I want to go in and take a look!" said Mei Terumi, already impatiently pushing open the door.

Chojuro had no choice but to follow him, muttering, "Master Ming, please don't buy too much, we still have to go somewhere else..."

Qing stood outside the store, watching the two enter the store, his eyes slightly fixed, thinking secretly in his heart: "The changes in New Konoha are far more complicated than we imagined. It seems that this visit is not just a simple diplomatic mission, but also to see clearly their true development direction. I hope that Lord Ming will not be confused by these superficial prosperity. Our village may also need to learn something from here."

Thinking of this, Qing couldn't help but sigh softly, then stood quietly outside the store, waiting for Mei Terumi and Chojuro to return.

......

Ohnoki walked out of the plane's cabin, his old but still majestic face looking particularly solemn in the sun. He glanced around, took a slightly scrutinizing look at the construction of the new Konoha Airport, and then calmly withdrew his gaze. Han and his personal guards followed him silently, whispering to each other.

Han whispered to Ohnoki: "Lord Tsuchikage, the speed of construction of New Konoha is truly amazing. It has reached such a scale in such a short period of time. I wonder what means they used."

Ohnoki nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of calmness and thought: "The new Konoha is indeed impressive. Drom must have strong support behind him. We must be careful and must not take it lightly."

Drom was already standing at the tarmac waiting for Ōnoki's arrival. Beside him, Huangtu and Akagi had smiles on their faces, looking excitedly at Lord Tsuchikage who was getting off the plane.

Huang Tu said excitedly: "Lord Tsuchikage, you are finally here! Everything here is very advanced, you will definitely be surprised!"

Akatsuki also nodded repeatedly and added: "Yes, sir, everything here is completely different from what we imagined before, it can be said to be another world!"

Ohnoki nodded, his face still maintaining his usual seriousness and majesty. He walked off the plane and walked towards Droum with steady steps, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

Drome bowed slightly, with a polite and friendly smile on his face, "Lord Tsuchikage, welcome to New Konoha. I have prepared the most comfortable accommodation for you and your followers, you can visit and rest here at will. If there is anything you need, please feel free to let us know."

Ohnoki narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of calm scrutiny and consideration flashed in his eyes. His voice was low and majestic, "The construction of New Konoha is indeed beyond my expectations, but it also makes us pay more attention to future development. I will observe everything here carefully, and I hope that New Konoha can bring true peace and prosperity as you said."

Drome still maintained a gentle smile and nodded gently, "Lord Tsuchikage, you will definitely find this place unique. New Konoha is committed to peace and development. We hope to work hand in hand with your country to create a better future together."

"I'll take a good look at your 'uniqueness'." Ohnoki finally responded lightly, and then took Han and his entourage and followed Drome to the residence prepared for them.
