The military camp of the New Army.

Kensho Oda took over Minato Namikaze's mechanical exoskeleton.

It feels very heavy when I first buy it.

If he hadn't been exercising for a long time, he might not have been able to afford it.

He frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "Can such armor really be used by ordinary people?"

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry."

Minato didn't explain too much and said, "You'll know why when you put it on."

Kensho Oda nodded.

He unfolds what is called an exoskeleton, but is actually a set of very thick black mechanical armor.

The whole body was completely wrapped.

Not a single bit of skin was exposed.

"Please enter your password."

A transparent screen appeared in front of Kensho Oda's eyes.

He saw the font on it and said: "Xuanjia Army No. 001."

"The password is correct and the mechanical exoskeleton is activated."

Colorless chakra and electric current flowed through the steel frame.

Two-thirds of the power of this suit comes from chakra, and one-third comes from electricity.

Oda Kensho suddenly felt that the mechanical power suit, which was originally as uncomfortable as a ghost pressing down on a bed, became extremely light and seemed to have no weight at all.

He looked stunned and immediately did a set of common morning exercises for the new army.

The eighth set of radio gymnastics.

Smooth, extremely smooth.

Kensho Oda only had this feeling.

He walked up to a huge stone, glanced at it, and lifted it up effortlessly.

"Give me a knife."

Oda Kensho put down the stone, took the katana handed over by Minato, and slashed hard, causing sparks to fly and the sharp blade to curl up.

He couldn't help but feel moved.

"No wonder my father is willing to spend five times the cost of an ordinary army to supply the Xuanjia Army. It is indeed worth it. Even if it is ten times the cost, I am willing."

The Xuanjia Army was renamed because the mechanical exoskeleton was all black.

"Your Highness is full of compliments."

Minato smiled and helped him take off his mechanical power suit.

As the armor that Konoha spent seven years building with all its strength, it is not just for dealing with ordinary armies.

He had tested it and found that after wearing this suit, ordinary genin could no longer pose a threat.

But the only pity is that it is too expensive.

What Kensho Oda didn't know was that the money borne by the daimyo only reached two-thirds.

The remaining one-third was produced by Haruki himself.

It was not to save money for the daimyo, but to pay stipends or wages to the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army.

The Land of Fire is basically in a feudal period, and most people except for nobles and ninjas are very poor.

Including the military.

But ordinary soldiers are not much higher than farmers. The only advantage is that they have promotion channels.

"It's not nonsense, it's the truth."

Kensho Oda has been in high spirits in recent years.

With Minato's Black Armor Army as his backing, he won over many civilian and military generals.

Although he is not as good as his elder brother, he still has a team.

"Minato, it's my father's fiftieth birthday in two days, what gift should I give him?"

Oda Kensho thought of his own business.

It was just a temporary idea for him to try out the exoskeleton power suit. What he really wanted to do was discuss his birthday with Minato.

In the past few years, Minato's opinions have all hit the mark, and he has become his strategist.

"Fifty years old." Minato touched his chin, "The Daimyo's health must be not good now, right?"

"Well, there are some problems. My eldest brother is probably going to be in power soon, so he doesn't like my petty quarrels in the past few years at all."

Oda Kensho chuckled, "But he doesn't know the strength of the Black Armor Army at all. He thinks that with the support of the other five armies, he can sit back and relax."

"If it's my suggestion, send elixirs to the daimyo."

"You mean poison?" Oda Kensho was surprised when he heard this, "Isn't this a bit reckless?"

"It's not poison, it's about extending lifespan." Minato shook his head and said, "My teacher is Haruki, one of the two jewels of Konoha, one of the most powerful medical ninjas in the ninja world. He spends a lot of precious medicinal materials to make daimyo live a few more years.

."

"This?" Oda Kensho couldn't easily understand what Minato meant. If it weren't for the past few years of getting along with him, he would have suspected that Minato was an undercover agent placed beside him.

"Who do you think will be more anxious after hearing this news?"

Seeing his confused look, Minato added, "Your eldest brother is already over thirty-five years old this year. If the daimyo lives another ten years and he is forty-five years old, even if he inherits the daimyo, how many years will he have to live?"

The average life span of the ninja community during this period was only over fifty years old.

Ordinary civilians have even fewer.

"So that's it!" Oda Kensho's eyes lit up, "Brother, it's hard for him to wait another ten years. If he can't wait, he might do something stupid. And we have reason to raise the army in a legitimate manner."

"good."

"Minato is really a good strategist. If you hadn't aspired to be Hokage, otherwise my position as Minister of the Imperial Government would definitely be yours."

Kenaki Oda said sincerely.

The minister of Taizheng, even the highest official position under the daimyo, is equivalent to the position of prime minister.

"Everyone has his or her own ambitions. Your Highness, there is no need to force it."

Minato responded with a smile.

Oda Kensho didn't force it, he left right after lunch.

Minato returned to the room.

"teacher."

"This is for you."

Qingshu handed him the elixir and said, "There is no magic medicine in this world that can prolong life, but it can restore him to the vitality of a young man in a short period of time."

"Hmm." Minato put away the elixir and said thoughtfully, "The daimyo and nobles' patience with me has almost reached its limit. Maybe my birthday is a perfect opportunity."

Qingshu nodded.

Minato was a ninja after all, and even the daimyo didn't think he had any intentions, but the other nobles were quite greedy.

Mastering the army means becoming one of the most powerful people in the Fire Nation.

In the past, the five armies were in the hands of the five major military general families, but everyone knew that Minato was going to leave, except for the Black Armor Army.

"Wait for His Highness to take action."

Haruki needs a great cause to stabilize the other daimyo, but the Kingdom of Thunder, which has been advocating military expansion the most in the past two years, is ready to make a move.

In the original work, he took advantage of the disappearance of the third Kazekage of Sand Hidden Village to attack the Kingdom of Wind.

But now the three generations of Feng Ying are doing well.

Qingshu didn't know where to start in Yunyin Village.

The third day.

Daimyo's palace.

It was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, creating a festive atmosphere.

Kensho Oda was able to see the daimyo after being informed by the palace maid.

After saluting, wait at your place.

The time reaches nine o'clock.

The main hall was filled with civil and military officials.
