LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 64: 064 Madam, you wouldn’t want your child to suffer, do you?
One year is short, just over three hundred days. However, under Lynch's leadership, the kingdom has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Among them, Secretary Robin played an important role.
Shikamaru and Yakushi Kabuto worked tirelessly every day, contributing to this impressive outcome.
He remembered when the national treasury was so poor that it couldn't afford even a single beli.
A year has passed, and now the national treasury is so rich it could buy the heads of three pirate kings!
Among them, it is all thanks to the Kingdom's vigorous development of mineral enterprises, which plays an indispensable role.
The kingdom's copper and iron resources are even more abundant than initially expected.
If he were willing to sell the AK47s, the national treasury could increase several times over.
But Lynch is not that stupid.
He only sold the ordinary weapons and flintlock guns stored in the warehouse.
The AK47 is a military secret; only an idiot would sell it.
The army expanded from 3,000 to 30,000, a tenfold increase!
Shikamaru often led these 30,000 soldiers out to sea in batches to gain experience by fighting pirates.
Therefore, these 30,000 soldiers are battle-hardened and experienced, having been on the battlefield and seen blood. There is absolutely no hesitation in a fight.
They are also fully prepared for any fight. In terms of weapons, shotguns were replaced with cannons.
The swords used are all high-quality, exquisite long swords.
The firearms are AK47s, which are so powerful they can disorient the enemy with a single shot.
The cannons are average at best; there's nothing better available right now.
A year ago, the kingdom didn't even have basic warships.
Now, it has a massive fleet capable of rivaling a small Marine branch.
The reason for the large fleet is that, over the past year, most pirates in West Blue have been wiped out.
In the kingdom, anyone who encounters a pirate will not only be killed but also have their ship seized.
As a result, there are fewer pirates at sea, and security has improved.
This is notable in the notoriously chaotic West Blue!
Later, Lynch found Robin working in the palace.
She looked even more beautiful and captivating than usual when focused on her tasks.
Lynch walked over quietly, suddenly hugged Robin from behind, and lowered his voice and said, "Guess who I am."
"Careful! It's going to fall!"
A small hand appeared on the ground at some point and grabbed Lynch's crotch.
Robin slowly turned around, gave Lynch a playful roll of her eyes, and her beautiful eyes were filled with emotion.
"You're a king; can you be more serious?" Robin said.
Lynch grinned, "Hey, I'm right here in front of you. You used Devil Fruit to catch me—didn't you feel it yourself? No wonder you grabbed me so accurately."
"You're sweet tongue"
Robin rolled her eyes at him angrily, but the redness on her cheeks revealed her true thoughts.
"It's been a while. Why haven't you come closer?"
Lynch leaned in, his face close to hers.
Without hesitation, Robin tilted her head and kissed Lynch on the cheek.
"I should be able to stay a few more days when I return this time."
"Alright, stay a few more days. I have something important to do when I come back this time."
"I'll explain later; I have something to take care of now."
After kissing Robin, Lynch hurried into the room.
Faith points have been accumulated for more than a year. Except for one draw in the middle, they have been accumulated all the time.
Now, the total had reached over 120,000, enough for more than 100 draws from the Naruto lottery pool!
This is an impressive result from just one year of self-growth.
Most of his time was spent at Marine Base, so the nation's awareness of him spread mainly through word of mouth.
Faith value grows slowly.
If he stayed in the kingdom every day to show his holiness, he could easily reach one million instead of just one hundred thousand.
"System, let's start with a ten-draw Naruto Lotery pool."
[Ding! Faith value successfully deducted. The lottery begins!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for getting the item - Seal Scroll.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for getting the item - Random A-level Ninjutsu.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for getting the item - Rock Lee's Tights.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for getting the character - Uchiha Sasuke (Young).]
...….
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for getting the character - Uchiha Mikoto.]
"Um?"
Lynch looked at the results with surprise and excitement.
Drawing out the second male lead from the Naruto world was a huge win.
Although this Sasuke has only one magatama, the Sharingan is here.
Mangekyō can't be far behind.
Lynch's gaze lingered on the final prize.
"Uchiha Mikoto? Isn't that Sasuke's mother?"
With a thought, Uchiha Mikoto appeared in front of him.
"Lord."
Uchiha Mikoto was kneeled in one knee and bowing respectfully.
Looking at the beautiful lady in the kimono, Lynch thought he wouldn't guess she had a child if he didn't know the detail.
"Madam, I also got Sasuke. Would you like to see him?"
"Sasuke? Really, sir!" Mikoto exclaimed with excitement.
In her memory, Sasuke was still a toddler.
"But, madam, I have a condition."
Lynch suddenly took a step forward, pressed Uchiha Mikoto against the wall, and said in a deep voice:
"Madam, you wouldn't want your child to suffer, do you?"
"I agree to any condition you have."
Uchiha Mikoto, not daring to look at Lynch, bit her lower lip and rested her head on his collar.
For the sake of her children, she would agree to any condition, no matter how excessive.
Even if it meant...
Mikoto glanced at Lynch. If Sasuke could have a stepfather in this world, their lives would be much easier.
"Very good," Lynch said solemnly.
"Promise me you'll educate him well and not let him show off in front of me every day."
After all, Sasuke, the pose king, was well known throughout the world.
If Sasuke turned out to be the kind of young boy who would show off and then get easily beaten up, Lynch wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
"I will educate him well, sir."
Realizing her mistake, Mikoto's cheeks flushed as she agreed.
"System, summon Sasuke."
With a flash of light, Sasuke appeared on the scene.
He crossed his arms across his chest and snorted coldly when he saw Lynch, "You summoned me here?"
The corners of Lynch's mouth twitched, and he was worthy of being the king of pose.
"Snapped!"
As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, Mikoto slapped him on the head and scolded, "Be respectful when talking to your King."
"Mother... mother! Is that you, mother?!"
Sasuke was about to get angry but was stunned when he saw Uchiha Mikoto.
He rubbed his eyes, fearing that what he saw was an illusion, and shouted cautiously again.
"It's really…you?!
"Who else could I be, silly boy?"
The Sasuke in front of her was different from the child she remembered, but Uchiha Mikoto could tell at a glance that this was her grown-up son.
