----------
The wedding lasted a day, or more precisely, the celebration after the wedding lasted a day. The people of Konoha were celebrating the wedding of Hokage-sama, and they were elated.
As for Ishigami Hara, he returned to his house with his new wife after the wedding. As for what he did?
This must be kept secret.
Time soon came to half a month later.
As a newlywed, you have to give yourself a vacation.
As Hokage, Ishigami Hara technically has no vacation, but he 'is' the Hokage. Whether to have a vacation is up to him.
In this way, Nara Shikaku and others suffered.
Many responsibilities were thrown to them.
Without the Hokage to make decisions, they could only barely handle some urgent matters.
As for other things, they had no right to handle them and could only delay them.
And what did Ishigami Hara do with his half-month leave? It was simple.
He went on a honeymoon.
He didn't go too far.
He just wandered around the Land of Fire.
While on his honeymoon, he could also observe the current development of the Land of Fire.
"A**hole, it's okay for you to ban gambling in Konoha, but why can't I find a casino in the entire Land of Fire?"
For half a month, she couldn't drink or gamble.
Tsunade couldn't hold back.
If Ishigami Hara hadn't been watching from the side, she probably would have lost her temper a long time ago.
It was not easy to hold back until now.
"Don't worry, casinos are harmful to development. Although I banned them, a small part can be retained."
As soon as Ishigami Hara finished speaking, Tsunade's eyes lit up. Not letting her gamble was no different from killing her.
"Really?"
Ishigami Hara nodded and explained: "Casinos can be retained, but they need to be supervised, and only a small part can be retained, and they must be concentrated at the same time. So I plan to designate a special area in Konoha and build a large entertainment city, unique to the Land of Fire."
"Great, entertainment city, right? Who are you going to give it to manage?" Tsunade asked the key question at once.
Ishigami Hara did not hide it: "Let's give it to the Hyuga clan. Because of the Hyuga Iroha incident, their clan suffered too much loss and is a bit short of manpower. It's just right to use this entertainment city to make up for their losses."
"If you do this, aren't you afraid of what other families will say in secret?"
Ishigami Hara smiled, "What will they say? I plan to give some shares of the entertainment city to those families. They just won't participate in the management, but they can profit from it. These profits will be enough to keep them quiet."
He rubbed Tsunade's hair and smiled, "Senju will also have a share, and the entertainment city will be considered as part of their own property in the future."
There were only Tsunade and Nawaki left in the Senju clan, so the Senju share would naturally benefit the two of them. Tsunade could easily calculate such a simple account.
"What about the Ishigami family?"
"Of course, there will be a share, and the majority of the profits from the entertainment city—around 50%—will be allocated separately to support village construction and other areas."
It is obvious that when there is only one casino left in the entire Land of Fire, the business of this casino will definitely thrive, and the profits will be enormous. Ishigami Hara would not give all these profits to those families, naturally directing the majority toward development.
After all, he is the Hokage, and he must treat everyone equally.
"Tsk, you are really selfless," Tsunade snorted.
"Thank you for the compliment; you'll soon see that Konoha's development will exceed your imagination."
Tsunade thought of something and asked again, "Do you really not care about the movements in the ninja world?"
The movements she was referring to were actually the recent actions of other major ninja villages. Konoha—or more precisely, the Land of Fire—was now developing rapidly. Even though it had only been a short time, it was showing tremendous potential for growth.
As a model for the ninja world, every action taken by Konoha and the Land of Fire naturally drew the attention of everyone in the ninja world.
The major ninja villages had noticed the current prosperity of Konoha and the successful development in the Land of Fire.
To say they weren't tempted would be a lie.
Konoha had already laid out the answer; anyone interested just needed to follow it.
It was too easy.
Thus, the major ninja villages began to have different ideas.
'Konoha dared to remove its own daimyo, so… what about us? Could we do the same?'
This idea wouldn't have emerged in the past, but the anomaly was that a figure like Ishigami Hara had appeared in the ninja world. Under his leadership, the Land of Fire seemed to have no restrictions. Since Konoha could achieve this,
'Why couldn't we?'
The first to make a move was Sunagakure, or the Land of Wind.
Sunagakure's geographic location was the worst among the large ninja villages.
Not only was it plagued by sandstorms, but it also had very little water, making development extremely difficult.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so aggressive and be the first to jump out every time there was a ninja war.
It was the same now. When they saw a situation beneficial to their development, they naturally couldn't resist the temptation.
In addition, Sunagakure had always been restricted by the daimyo of the Land of Wind; its development depended on the daimyo's funding, so growth was slow. Sometimes, when funds were scarce, Sunagakure would have to find its own way.
The Third Kazekage took on endless missions, used Magnet Style to smelt iron, and sold it to sustain themselves. When it came to hardships, Sunagakure was unparalleled in the entire ninja world.
Eventually, something happened between Sunagakure and the daimyo of the Wind Country. The daimyo abruptly cut off funding, which was a death sentence for Sunagakure.
Then… the Kazekage took the lead, and the hidden chūnin joined forces—overthrowing him!
Sunagakure became the second village after Konoha to rebel against its daimyo, and it showed immense strength from the start, swiftly defeating the forces of the daimyo of the Land of Wind. In just half a month, they captured the capital.
Seeing this, the daimyo of the Land of Wind quickly followed the example of the daimyo of the Land of Fire. On the eve of the capital's occupation, he fled with his family, subordinates, and wealth, even plundering the capital before escaping, leaving Sunagakure with only chaos.
Even so, Sunagakure achieved a major victory and adopted Konoha's development model, starting large-scale commercial development. Signs of prosperity were already visible.
Prosperity was inevitable. Breaking the stagnant state had introduced new opportunities; any change brought excellent results.
Sunagakure had managed to survive and even had the chance to rise to a new level. United, they vowed to surpass Konoha and the Land of Fire, filled with fresh ambition.
"Why should I care? Isn't Sunagakure doing well?" Ishigami Hara asked with a smile.
Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "I don't believe it."
