The Kingdom of Snow, the Council Hall..

com Fenghua Xiaoxue looked at the courtiers who were quarreling helplessly.

An old courtier shouted to a middle-aged courtier in front of him with a confidence that was not in line with his age: "No, once we accept the Kingdom of Bo, our defense line will be expanded again. Our current defense line is already very long. Because the expansion of the defense line has seriously insufficient domestic soldiers. Although there are constant recruitment, those are just some new recruits. They have not been on the battlefield and they will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of defending the frontier. If it were not for the reputation of His Highness the Prince and His Highness Daming, we would not be able to defend the existing defense line. If we add to the Kingdom of Bo, our defense line will easily collapse."

The young courtier immediately retorted: "No, although our defense line has expanded a lot, our country's territory has also expanded a lot, both population and money and food have also increased a lot. It is normal for the lack of power on the border. After all, our country's expansion is too fast. In just a few years, our territory has expanded several times. There is no way to lack of power on the border. We can only recruit new soldiers and train them to supplement our lack of power. It just takes some time, and before that, we can only make up for it with the Xue Ninja and our country's high-end combat power. If you don't kill and Mr. Neji present, you can solve this problem. As for whether to accept the country of Bo..." The young courtier paused.

Next, "The Kingdom of Wat is an island country, and the territory is not much. Now, even the Kingdom of Snow before is much larger than it. If it were a few years ago, I would certainly not agree to accept it. But now it is different. The Kingdom of Wat is developing rapidly. Although the territory has not expanded at all, its economic strength alone is no less than our current Kingdom of Snow. It is just that there are still not many military power. Not only does there be no ninjas in the country, there are not even many samurais. It is also because of this that many forces are extremely peeking at the Kingdom of Wat. Now the Kingdom of Wat is proactively surrendering to us. As long as we accept the Kingdom of Snow, our country's strength will soon be improved again. This is completely an opportunity for our Kingdom of Snow."

The old courtiers spoke almost without hesitation: "It is true that we have accepted the Kingdom of Bo, and our Kingdom of Snow can develop better, but if the defense line collapses, it will greatly affect the foundation of our country. At that time, once something happens, even the foundation of our country will be shaken."

Another courtier wanted to speak again, but Fenghua Xiaoxue said first: "Okay, I already know what to do next. Your conversation has lasted for nearly half a month. Is there anything new?"

The two court officials were shocked and bowed their heads and said, "The lower-level minister is guilty." Fenghua Xiaoxue waved her hand and said, "Okay, I know your ideas. Your original intention is for the good of Xuezhi Country. As the two said, Xuezhi Country's defense line is a bit too long now. If you accept Bozhi Country again, then our defense line will be lengthened again, which will inevitably make our soldiers run away. But if you give up, it will be another excellent opportunity to develop. It would be a pity to give up." As Fenghua Xiaoxue looked at Ningji and Zabuzhen and said, "What about you? Are your opinions still unification?"

Aibuzhan nodded and said, "Neji believes that the Kingdom of Po should be accepted, but I think that it is dangerous to accept the Kingdom of Po now. The Kingdom of Po is too close to the mainland and too far from the city. If the Kingdom of Po is accepted, then the defense line of my Snow Country will be expanded again and we must move the capital to better rule the existing territory. However, our country has no preparation at all, not to mention that the number of soldiers in our country is too small to defend the current territory. If we add the defense line of the Kingdom of Po, I am afraid..., so I think we really should not accept the Kingdom of Po."

Neji shook his head and expressed his opposition: "Although our country has few soldiers and cannot defend against the existing territory, it is enough to recruit samurai. There are many samurai among our people. Secondly, although the number of soldiers in the Kingdom of Bo is small, there are still some. After we accept the Kingdom of Bo, we do not need to mobilize soldiers to defend immediately. We can let the Kingdom of Bo defend on its own first. As long as we can survive for a period of time, the problem of insufficient soldiers will be temporarily alleviated. In the future, we will have enough time to train new soldiers."

"But it will take at least half a year for this group of new soldiers, right?" Aobu said: "A few years ago, we only focused on expansion without considering the issue of soldiers. Even though the territory has expanded a lot, the veterans in the army have suffered heavy casualties. Although the quality of the existing veterans is good, the number of people is too small. Even more than half of the soldiers in the army are new soldiers who have never been on the battlefield. They are good to fight the battle now. If there is a stalemate, it is easy to defeat. Moreover, after the last incident with Hijiki Ishida, if others want to deal with us, they will definitely be carefully designed. If there is a collapse, then it will inevitably be a complete defeat. Is it still a matter of whether they can defend the existing territory?"

"Master Kina. Has Naruto come back yet?" Hearing the argument between Neji and Zaibuzen, Fenghua Xiaoxue shook her head helplessly, then looked at Uzumaki Kina beside him and asked in a low voice: "It's almost a month, and Naruto's disappearance in Konoha has spread all over the world. Why hasn't he come back yet? Zaibuzen and Bai have been back for more than ten days, and Zaibuzen and Neji have been arguing about the matter of Hatsunomiya for more than ten days. I think they are angry. If Naruto doesn't come back, they may take action. They both have control over half of the Snow Nobuzen and Neji. Once they start, they will probably really turbulent the entire Snow Nobuzen." Because Uzumaki Kina is very proficient in sealing techniques and barrier techniques, Fukuha Kojiu is not worried that his words will be heard by Zaibuzen and Neji.

Uzumaki Kina shook her head and said, "Not yet, I asked Naruto too, as well. Naruto seemed to be looking for Teacher Jiraiya. If this is true, then there is no need to worry. Naruto will always come back." Fukuha Koyuki hesitated for a moment, then nodded. At this time, Uzumaki Kina smiled and said, "By the way, there is another point, Xiaoxue, don't make trouble with him after Naruto comes back, okay? You also know that at that time, Naruto had no choice. After all, he was in charge of the entire Snow Ninja Village, or even the entire Snow Ninja Village. If he let the third son go, he would lose control of the Snow Ninja Village. As a superior, he does not need too strong strength or too strong wisdom, but he must have a clear reward and punishment."

"I know. Mom." Fukuha Koyuki lowered his head and said, "I know Naruto did a good job and even treated the third son with favorable treatment. He left him with a whole body and let him be buried in a glorious way. After all, the third son betrayed Naruto. If Naruto did not deal with the third son, then there would be another betrayal by others in the Snow Country. However, the third son has taken care of me since he was a child. He was the only one who found me and has been with me. Unexpectedly, after I became the daimyo of the Snow Country, I left me."

Uzumaki Kina caressed the back of Fukuha Koyuki and smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaoxue, let him go to the third tycoon's affairs. Naruto has a lot of things to do, and Naruto has many enemies, and it's impossible to count. We shouldn't bother Naruto anymore. What we can do is to let Naruto do his own thing with confidence, instead of having a cold war with him like now."

"I understand, mom." Fukuha Koyuki responded: "When Naruto comes back, I won't get angry with Naruto anymore." Uzumaki Kina nodded, and then said: "By the way, Koyuki, there is something about Hatsunomiya, what are you thinking about? After all, you are the daimyo of Hatsunomiya, and these things must be decided by you. Just like this, only you can decide whether you should accept Hatsunomiya? If you can't decide, then the courtiers below will not stop. They will continue to argue forever, and there will never be a time to stop. And the earlier this kind of thing, the better. Only by making the decision as soon as possible can those courtiers better arrange various things."

Fukuha Koyuki nodded and then looked at Zaibuzun and Hyuga Neji, who were arguing, with some hesitation, and said, "But, mom, they are just arguing, and I'm not sure to convince them. If Naruto was there, that would be great."

Uzumaki Kina shook her head and said, "No, Xiaoxue, you are Daming. This matter can be decided by you. In this matter, Neji and Zaibuzen have no right to make conditions to you. In this matter, they have no right to speak. Only you, Daming of the Kingdom of Snow, is qualified to decide. So Xiaoxue, you can say that here, you don't have to worry about anyone, make a bold decision."

Fenghua Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, mom. Now untie the barrier." Uzumaki Kina nodded, and without seeing her move, he nodded directly to Fenghua Xiaoxue, indicating that the barrier had been untie.

"It's so lively. I wonder what I'm talking about? Why don't you let me join too?" A voice sounded, and when everyone present heard this voice, they felt a little excited.
