Chapter 242: 236: Conspiracy
".....the important facilities, such as the academy and the hospital in the village, are in a state of serious disrepair. Therefore, Hoshikage-sama earnestly requests Daimyo-sama, to allocate an additional 30% to this year's budget for the development of the village."
A ninja from Hoshigakure knelt on one knee in the room, head bowed deeply, conveying these words.
Listening to the Hoshi nin address in the conference room, the Bear Daimyo, lightly touched his chin, wearing a thoughtful expression. 'Which of the women will be serving the bed tonight?'
Seated beneath the Bear Daimyo were six officials, they all appeared with the same peaceful expression as if they were seriously considering the concerns presented by the representative from Hoshigakure.
Half a minute passed by inside the room without anyone breaking the silence. The atmosphere, while slightly calm, hung heavy, almost suffocating with tension.
Still remaining on one knee, the Hoshinin nervously cleared his throat, unable to resist asking, "Daimyo-sama, about this year's budget..."
"Oh..., the budget..."
The Bear Daimyo suddenly recollected and responded to the ninja, "Yes."
Although the ninja felt anger, the individuals inside the meeting room held the economic lifeline of Hoshigakure. For a ninja village to develop, huge financial support was indispensable.
