This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 398 Location of the Five Shadows Meeting

Hokage Building, Jonin Team Office.

Unlike Nishikawa Tetsu's desk, which was filled with all sorts of reports, the desks here were covered with detailed maps, security deployment diagrams, and reception process sheets.

Minato Namikaze looked at the long "List of Dietary Taboos and Accommodation Preferences of Village Delegations During the Five Shadows Talks" in front of him and couldn't help but rub his temples.

Ever since the Third Hokage handed over the overall responsibility for the shared destiny of the ninja world and the Five Kage Summit to him, Minato has deeply experienced what it means to be lonely at the top.

Holding the Five Kage Summit in Konoha would demonstrate Konoha's leadership position to the entire ninja world even better than holding the Chunin Exams there.

From the selection of meeting venues to the reception standards for dignitaries and dignitaries from various countries, and even details such as which spices should not be added to which dishes at the banquet, everything required his overall coordination as the person in charge.

"Fortunately, I managed to get Shikaku back."

Minato looked up at Nara Shikaku, who was sitting opposite him, yawning and staring at the defense map, and secretly felt relieved.

The two had developed a very high level of understanding during their time working together in the police department.

Minato excels at controlling the overall situation and dealing with emergencies, while Shikaku's brilliant mind can arrange all the complicated details flawlessly.

"Shikaku, Kumogakure has made a special request that their base be equipped with a large indoor training ground and be located far away from Iwagakure's residence." Minato handed over a scroll.

"What a hassle." Shikaku took the scroll and complained, "Those guys from Kumogakure are just full of energy. If we don't give them a place to vent, they'll probably tear the hotel down. As for avoiding Iwagakure, that's fine too. Neither side has forgotten the grudge from the last battle."

While making sarcastic remarks, Shikaku skillfully sketched on the map.

"Kumakumi has arranged for them to stay in a deluxe suite in the east wing of the Konoha Grand Hotel, which is close to the indoor chakra training ground in the new district. Sunagakure has arranged for them in the west wing. Iwagakure is between the two, and that old man Onoki loves to watch the show, so we'll have him act as a buffer zone."

"Perfect." Minato smiled and gave a thumbs up.

With Shikaku as a capable assistant (provided he doesn't slack off), these tedious arrangements were indeed made much faster.

"However, there is still one crucial issue."

Minato's expression turned serious, and his gaze fell on the panoramic view of the new Konoha district.

Where would be a suitable venue for the main meeting of the Five Shadows Summit?

Lu Jiu put down his pen and touched his chin.

"The Hokage Building in the old city is too small and the facilities are outdated, which is obviously not suitable for our theme of demonstrating our strength this time. Although the Konoha Dome is magnificent, it is an arena, which would be too undignified to use for a closed-door meeting, and the security area is too large."

"While the main buildings in the new administrative district are modern, they lack a sense of historical depth that can overshadow the surrounding villages..."

After analyzing the situation, Shikaku finally exchanged a glance with Minato.

The two said in unison, "It seems we have to go find him."

……

Office of the Vice Minister of Finance.

Nishikawa Tetsu had just seen off Kana and Shizune, who were leaving excitedly with the investment agreement, and was preparing to make himself a strong cup of tea before getting back to work.

"What's going on today? One after another, are we even allowed to get any work done?"

Nishikawa Tetsu muttered to himself as he tossed tea leaves into his teacup.

"First came the blind dates, then those two girls, Kana and Kana, came looking for investment. My vice-ministerial office is practically turning into a community service center in Konoha's new district!"

"No, I'm going to put up a sign on the door tomorrow: Do not disturb unless the sky is falling!"

"Knock knock knock".

As soon as Nishikawa Tetsu finished speaking, the familiar knocking sounded again, this time with a brisk rhythm.

"..."

Nishikawa Tetsu's hand holding the teapot froze in mid-air. He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the urge to throw the teapot over.

"Go in!" he practically spat out the word through gritted teeth.

The door was pushed open, and a dazzling blonde hair appeared in the doorway with a gentle smile, followed by Nara Shikaku, who sported a pineapple-shaped hairstyle.

"Che, did I disturb your work?" Minato walked in with a smile.

What do you think?

Nishikawa Tetsu rolled his eyes and slammed the teapot down on the table.

"Minato, Assistant Shikaku, you two are usually very busy with the Five Kage Summit. Why aren't you doing your work? What are you doing at my community service center? Could it be that you're short on budget and need me to approve some money?"

"If you're here to ask for money, forget it! I have to be careful with every penny I have!" Nishikawa Tetsu preemptively grabbed the Ministry of Finance's money bag.

"Don't be nervous, they're not here to ask for money."

Minato walked to the desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"Shikaku and I have almost finished arranging the reception and security for the Five Kage Summit. Now, only the final step, which is also the most important one, remains."

Minato pointed to the planning map of the new Konoha district on the table.

The main venue for the talks.

"You are the overall person in charge of the planning for the entire Konoha New District. No one knows this place better than you, down to every brick and tile. So we've come to you for advice: which building in this new center is most suitable for holding this meeting that will determine the fate of the ninja world?"

"That's all?"

Nishikawa Tetsu picked up the freshly brewed tea, blew on it to cool it down, and looked at the two of them speechlessly.

"You guys are supposed to be the brains of the police department and future Hokage candidates, why are you bothering me to choose a meeting place?"

"Isn't this all about striving for perfection?" Shikaku yawned and sprawled out on the sofa in the most comfortable position. "Besides, this meeting is about showcasing Konoha's leadership position. You, this heartless capitalist, are definitely the best person to answer what kind of architecture best reflects that position."

Upon hearing Shikaku's assessment, Nishikawa Tetsu glared at him irritably.

However, when it comes to choosing a location, Nishikawa Tetsu immediately came up with an excellent spot.

He put down his teacup, walked to the huge panoramic blueprint of the new Konoha center hanging on the wall, and pointed precisely at a building at the intersection of the commercial and administrative districts.

"Since you have asked so sincerely, I will show you the way."

Nishikawa Tetsu smiled mischievously.

"The Five Kage Summit will be held in the top-floor conference room of the Konoha International Conference Center."

Minato and Shikaku exchanged a glance, their faces filled with big question marks.

"Konoha International Conference Center?" Minato tilted his head slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Teru, Shikaku and I have looked at the Konoha New District planning map many times. Does such a place exist?"

Shikaku rubbed his temples, trying hard to recall the extremely sophisticated-sounding name.

"Could it be some secret project you've been secretly building without our knowledge? That can't be right; something this big couldn't have been built without a budget record."

Seeing the two looking completely bewildered, Nishikawa Tetsu's smile widened, and he casually drew a circle on the blueprint.

"It didn't exist originally," Nishikawa Tetsu said, shrugging confidently. "But it does now. This is the new name I just gave it on the spot."

"..." Minato and Shikaku both fell silent.

"You wouldn't be talking about...?" Shikaku followed Nishikawa Tetsu's finger, his lips twitching slightly, "that twin tower building that was originally intended to be rented to Konoha Electric Power & Home Appliance Service Company and Konoha Heian Co., Ltd. as their joint headquarters, would you?"

"That's right, that's it!" Nishikawa Tetsu snapped his fingers. "However, because these two companies haven't finished moving their locations in the old town, and the sales staff in the new district are all in the ground floor stores, the upper floors of that building are currently almost empty."

Nishikawa Tetsu walked to the table, took out an architectural structural drawing, and spread it out.

"Look, on the top floor of this Twin Towers building, there's a panoramic glass platform reserved for testing chakra levitation technology. Not only is it at the highest point of the new center, but because there are no surrounding buildings to obstruct the view, it's absolutely the most open place in all of Konoha."

"Most importantly, its east side is right next to our newly built Muye Ecological Park."

"All the Kage except those from Sunagakure had been to the new Konoha district, but the ecological park was still under construction during the Chunin Exams, so they hadn't seen it."

"Through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, people from other villages can see the lush green park below and the bustling commercial street outside the park at a glance."

A shrewd glint flashed in Nishikawa Tetsu's eyes.

"With just a small budget, converting that floating platform into a grand conference room would absolutely leave those seasoned Shadows completely stunned!"

"Wait, you're here to ask for money again?!"
