Chapter 240 Ribbon-cutting Ceremony for the Great Name

The capital of the Land of Fire, the Red Leaf District, at the end of the month.

Just two months ago, this place was a newly cleared wasteland and deep pit, but now, a magnificent modern building has been erected.

This twenty-story State Grid headquarters building, covered entirely by a large glass curtain wall meticulously crafted by wind-style ninjas, reflects a dazzling brilliance under the midday sun, and has become the most eye-catching new landmark in the entire capital.

In the small square in front of the building, a red carpet was laid out and colorful flags fluttered.

"This is... what we built?"

Kyusuke stood on the outskirts of the crowd, his head tilted back, his neck aching, but he couldn't bear to look away.

Although his work clothes were spotless, his face was filled with unbelievable pride.

"That's right, that's Akatsuki's speed."

Yahiko stood beside him, his dark circles under his eyes were even more pronounced than before, but he was unusually excited.

He straightened his suit tie and took a deep breath.

"Brothers, stand tall! Today's our day!"

……

At noon, amidst melodious music, the daimyo's carriage from the Land of Fire slowly entered the square.

On this day, almost all the powerful and influential people in the capital city turned out in droves. The Minister of the Left, the Minister of the Right, the heads of various clans, and even some members of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas were present.

After all, everyone has witnessed how much importance the daimyo attaches to this project over this period of time.

"Nishikawa Tetsu, you guys gave me a huge surprise!"

The daimyo, supported by his attendants, stepped down from the carriage. Looking at the breathtaking building before him, he snapped his folding fan shut with a "snap," his eyes filled with awe.

"Two months, just two months!"

"Even the legendary Thousand Hands of the Forest, who used Wood Release to build houses, probably couldn't compare to this, could they?"

"You flatter me, Your Excellency."

Nishikawa Tetsuya, dressed in a formal suit, greeted him with a smile.

"This is not something amazing, but the result of everyone's concerted efforts. It's all thanks to your strong support, and..."

Nishikawa Tetsu stepped aside, making way for Yahiko, who was standing behind him.

"And our partner, Akatsuki Construction Group from the Land of Rain. It is their tireless efforts day and night that created this miracle."

The daimyo's gaze fell on Yahiko.

He was familiar with this young man because of their previous interactions.

"Yahiko, I remember you."

The daimyo nodded in satisfaction and even reached out to pat Yahiko on the shoulder.

"The craftsmen of your Rain Kingdom are skilled, fast, and most importantly—they are trustworthy. I am very satisfied."

This pat and praise instantly changed the eyes of the dignitaries present, making them look at Yahiko and even the entire Akatsuki organization with new respect.

To receive public praise from a famous person is equivalent to acquiring a prestigious reputation in the business circles of the Land of Fire.

Yahiko blushed with excitement, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and performed a not-so-standard bow: "It is Akatsuki's honor to serve Your Majesty. We will always be committed to building peace and prosperity through ninjutsu."

"Well said, let's build peace!"

Da Ming burst into laughter, in an excellent mood.

"The auspicious time has arrived, let's cut the ribbon!"

As the golden scissors fell, the red ribbons fluttered down, and cannons roared in unison.

The State Grid building has been officially opened.

But this is just a daytime show; the real highlight is at night.

……

Night falls.

The capital city was not under curfew tonight; in fact, it was even more bustling than during the day.

Countless people flocked to the streets, gathered around the red leaf area, and even climbed onto their own rooftops, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the red leaves.

Because the government had already posted a notice: tonight, the capital will become a "city that never sleeps".

Inside the control room on the top floor of the building.

Nara Shikamori stared nervously at the instrument panel, his forehead covered in sweat: "Voltage stable, connection normal, circuit test complete... Deputy Minister, the core area power grid is ready and can be connected to the grid at any time."

Nishikawa Tetsu stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the dark city below.

On the building's observation deck, the daimyo and a group of dignitaries held wine glasses, waiting for that moment.

"Is Jiraiya-sensei here too?" Nishikawa Tetsu suddenly asked.

"Here he is, in the crowd over there." Lu Shou pointed to a corner below. "He said he didn't want to join the fun, so he just wanted to watch from below."

Nishikawa Tetsu nodded and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Yahiko, what about the route to Daimyo Prefecture?"

"Everything is normal! The lights can be turned on at any time!" Yahiko's excited voice came through the earpiece.

"it is good."

Nishikawa Tetsu turned around and gestured for the daimyo behind him to proceed.

"Your Excellency, please personally illuminate the splendor of this prosperous age."

In the center of the observation deck stands a huge, ornately decorated lever switch.

Daming took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gripped the lever with both hands.

"May the land of fire be forever bright despite the night!"

Daimyo pulled down the lever with all his might.

"Buzz—"

A deep, pleasant electrical hum instantly spread throughout the entire red leaf area and outwards.

next second.

"Whoosh!"

Centered on the State Grid building, a wave of light burst forth instantly.

First, the building itself, with countless landscape lights lighting up simultaneously, transforms this glass giant into a crystal palace, illuminating half the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, the light flowed along the pre-laid lines, spilling onto the street like mercury.

Streetlights lit up one after another, dispelling the darkness of the street.

Shop signs with lights, hanging colored lights, and the first batch of new electric lights installed in residents' homes in the core area...

In just a few breaths, the most central area of ​​the capital city transformed from complete darkness into a dazzling sea of ​​lights.

Compared to the still dark surrounding area, this place was like a luminous gem left behind by the gods.

"Wow--!!!"

"It's lit up! It's really lit up!"

The gasps of the people were so loud they filled the air, even drowning out the sound of the cannons.

Children cheered and ran under the streetlights, while adults stared in disbelief at the incredible scene.

On the observation deck, the dignitaries forgot to put down their wine glasses.

Although they had heard descriptions and seen demonstrations before, the visual impact of seeing thousands of lights spread out before their eyes was still soul-stirring.

This is not just light; it is a leap forward in civilization.

Daming leaned on the railing, looking down at the city that never sleeps, at the people laughing and joking under the lights, his hands trembling with excitement.

"This...this is my capital city..."

"Nishikawa Toru!"

Daimyo suddenly turned around, grabbed Nishikawa Tetsu's hand, and his eyes burned with an intense heat.

"Expansion is necessary!"

"Spread this electric grid all over the capital! No, spread it throughout the entire Land of Fire!"

"Money is no problem. Even if the national treasury is empty, I will ensure that the people of the Land of Fire can enjoy the prosperity of this golden age!"

Nishikawa Tetsu smiled and grasped the daimyo's hand in return.

"As you wish, Your Excellency, however..."

He glanced at the ministers and nobles beside him who were equally envious.

"Such a large project cannot be accomplished by Konoha alone. We need more... partners, and more investment."

"Vote! We'll vote!"

"My family will contribute thirty million taels!"

"Lord Nishikawa, please take me with you!"

The powerful and wealthy were instantly in an uproar.

In a corner of the crowd, Jiraiya looked up at the glowing building, then glanced at Yahiko in the distance, who was directing workers to maintain the power lines.

He took a swig of wine and gave a smile that was both wistful and proud.

They are my proudest students!

He tightened his grip on the manuscript in his arms, then turned and disappeared into the bustling crowd.

The new era has truly arrived.
