Is he planning to have me marry Yugito to him?
Should I agree...?
Hearing Shishou's request, the Fourth Raikage frowned and glanced at Yugito.
It wasn't that the Fourth Raikage was overthinking; it was just that Shishou holding Yugito's hand and making a request could easily be misinterpreted.
With these thoughts running through his mind, the Fourth Raikage asked Shishou in a deep voice:
"What is your request?"
Being challenged to a fight and then having the opponent make a request was something the Fourth Raikage had never expected.
Mabui, Samui, and Yugito also looked up at Shishou and the Fourth Raikage in surprise upon hearing that Shishou had a request.
When the Fourth Raikage glanced at Yugito, she froze for a moment.
Then she immediately blushed again, her heart pounding wildly.
Marriage? I-I'm not ready for that yet.
But if Shishou brings it up, I-I'll definitely agree...
Feeling happy at the thought, Yugito's hand holding Shishou's started to tremble slightly.
Is Shishou planning to propose to the Fourth Raikage?
Mabui and Samui also noticed the Fourth Raikage's glance and Yugito's shy reaction, instantly understanding, and they looked at Shishou in disbelief, feeling shocked.
Just a few words of affection made Yugito this shy?
Sensing Yugito's nervousness and trembling, Shishou glanced at her, thinking she was embarrassed because of his earlier words, "mutual affection."
Then, Shishou smiled at the Fourth Raikage and said:
"I hope the Hidden Cloud Village can help me develop a batch of electric farm tools and machinery. Of course, I will cover all the research and development costs."
"I will provide all the design concepts and basic models to Mr. Lurigan for reference."
He had come up with the idea of asking the Hidden Cloud Village for help with developing electric farm machinery after seeing the electric boat that Lurigan had brought out.
With industrialized electric farm machinery, Shishou could further enhance agricultural productivity in the ninja world, and he could also buy land to build his own large farm estate.
With improved agricultural productivity, his animal breeding farm could take shape more quickly, allowing him to expedite the evolution of Kushina and Katsuyu...
"Electric farm tools and machinery?"
Hearing Shishou's request, the Fourth Raikage, Yugito, Mabui, and Samui were all taken aback.
"Yes,"
Shishou repeated with a grin, "I hope the Hidden Cloud Village can help me develop a batch of farm tools and machinery."
Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage gave Shishou a puzzled look, clearly not understanding why he wanted to develop electric farm machinery.
Yugito, Mabui, and Samui were also disappointed.
Yugito was disappointed that her idea of marrying Shishou was dashed, and Mabui and Samui were disappointed that their curiosity wasn't satisfied...
"What's wrong with you three?" Shishou asked, noticing their disappointed expressions.
"It's nothing," Yugito, Mabui, and Samui said in unison, shaking their heads as if they had a telepathic connection.
This made Shishou even more curious about what they had been thinking just now.
The Fourth Raikage frowned and asked:
"What do you need these things for?"
If Shishou were researching some high-powered ninjutsu or special ninja tools, he could understand.
But electric farm machinery?
What could that possibly achieve? Could it defeat enemies?
Hearing the Fourth Raikage's question, Yugito, Mabui, and Samui also looked at Shishou curiously.
Facing their questions, Shishou sat in a nearby chair, holding Yugito in his arms, and said casually:
"These things, along with the fertilizers I asked you to help promote, can increase food production and double the food resources in the Land of Lightning."
"This way, the five great ninja villages won't have to fight over resources anymore."
"Of course, with me around, the five great ninja villages won't be able to start another war anyway."
Double the food resources?
Hearing Shishou's words, Mabui was shocked.
As the Raikage's secretary, she was well aware of how terrifying the annual food consumption of the Hidden Cloud Village was.
If the food production in the Land of Lightning could double, the Hidden Cloud Village would save a huge amount of money on food expenses.
Samui, after thinking calmly, looked at Shishou and asked:
"How can you be sure that your fertilizers can double food production?"
"Because I've already tested it, and it's currently being promoted in the Land of Demons..." Shishou explained briefly.
"Alright, now is not the time to discuss this."
"Do whatever you want, but first, you have to fight me."
Hearing Shishou boast about stopping the five great ninja villages from waging war, the Fourth Raikage said irritably.
Shishou glanced at the Fourth Raikage and replied, "I'm ready whenever you are."
"Follow me!"
The Fourth Raikage turned into a blue flash and disappeared.
"Wait here for me; I'll be right back," Shishou said to Yugito, who was in his arms, smiling.
Dealing with the brute strength of the Fourth Raikage, Shishou, who had already devised a strategy, wouldn't need much effort.
"Okay," Yugito replied with a sweet smile.
Receiving Yugito's response, Shishou disappeared from the spot.
Seeing Shishou and the Fourth Raikage vanish, Yugito, Mabui, and Samui looked disappointed.
"I really wanted to see their duel," Mabui said regretfully.
A battle between a user of the Flying Thunder God technique and the Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village would definitely be worth watching.
"There's actually nothing to see since the outcome is already decided," Samui said calmly.
Hearing this, Yugito and Mabui exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
Given Shishou's displayed strength, the Fourth Raikage had no chance of winning. He could only rely on his speed to hold out for a while.
Once the Fourth Raikage's chakra was exhausted, his defeat would be inevitable.
Swish!
Three minutes later, a figure appeared in the office. The three women turned their heads and saw Shishou returning, holding the unconscious Fourth Raikage.
"It's over already?"
Mabui asked in disbelief, looking at the unconscious Fourth Raikage.
Even the Fourth Raikage, famous for his speed, couldn't last long against Shishou?
Standing beside Mabui, Yugito and Samui were equally shocked.
Although they knew the Fourth Raikage couldn't hold out long against Shishou, this was just too fast.
Only two or three minutes had passed since they left!
The Fourth Raikage was already defeated?
Seeing the shocked expressions of the three women, Shishou laughed.
When it came to dealing with a brute like the Fourth Raikage,
He only needed to create an opening, let the opponent attack him, then use Susanoo to capture the opponent, and control him with the Sharingan at close range, just like Uchiha Madara did.
With Shishou's current expertise in genjutsu and vast Yin chakra, controlling the Fourth Raikage was a piece of cake.
