Shimizu talked with Bruce Wayne for a while longer.
The main topic was still about the space technology jointly developed by the three major technology companies.
The three companies plan to jointly invest and establish a new company for this endeavor, integrating their expertise in information, energy, materials, automated machinery, and weapon defense, to develop necessary technologies such as space launch rockets, aviation aircraft, and space ecological modules.
Even if they could use Superman as a space shuttle, they would still need to develop these things.
Shimizu named the company Space-X.
"Ding-dong."
The doorbell rang, and Shimizu and Bruce Wayne stopped talking.
"Boss, a presidential advisor from the White House is here."
Shimizu couldn't help but exchange a glance with Bruce Wayne.
"It should be about the upcoming maritime negotiations in two days. You haven't deliberately concealed your identity. As long as they put in the effort to investigate, the upper echelons of this country should be able to find out your real identity."
"That's true. The US military's performance in this maritime conflict wasn't very impressive. If they want to gain more leverage at the negotiating table, they will definitely come to me."
"I think they are more likely to want to establish an American version of the Self-Strengthening Society."
"What's your opinion?"
"Set some conditions, and then agree to them. I will persuade the others in the alliance. I hope you can become a bridge between the alliance and the official side. This can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Naruto World.
Grass Country.
Three figures leaped swiftly, heading towards a remote town within the borders of Grass Country.
These three ninjas were all very fast, not bad even among jonin. One of the figures was carrying a woman on his back.
A red-haired young woman felt a little uneasy, looking at the incredibly handsome face of the ninja carrying her with infatuated eyes.
"Sato, Hidden Sand Village... Will it really not bully me like Hidden Grass Village did?"
"No, Ayane. Jonin Shimizu said he's got your back, so no one in Hidden Sand Village should be able to touch you. He's very powerful, and he also said that your special constitution lies in your innate possession of powerful Yang Release chakra, which is very suitable for learning medical ninjutsu. He will recommend you to Elder Chiyo."
Sato held the kunai in his hand, answering.
"You're so good, Sato!"
"I... Well, of course, I'm good."
Sato's expression was a bit strained, although he still looked handsome.
He was an experienced playboy, relying on his handsome face and jonin-level title to be invincible when picking up girls, rarely failing except for that time with Karura when he was beaten up by Rasa.
Every time he broke up, he could even part on good terms while still making his exes never forget him.
So he could tell that, in the future in Hidden Sand Village, he would definitely be entangled by Uzumaki Ayane.
How did I get entangled like this?
Sato thought helplessly.
More than ten days ago, he and Shimizu and others disguised themselves as merchants and infiltrated Hidden Grass Village.
Relying on intelligence from Hanzo's side, they secretly tracked several key figures in Hidden Grass Village to further investigate their information, and discovered this survivor of the Uzumaki clan who had been plundered by Hidden Grass Village.
After making sufficient preparations, Shimizu personally took action and assassinated Elder Gyuuki of the Kusa Faction.
This was a skilled elite jonin, the third most powerful figure in Hidden Grass Village, and the second most important figure in the Grass Faction.
Hidden Grass Village only had these three people with the strength of elite jonin.
With Shimizu's strength, killing him wasn't particularly difficult. Going all out, the opponent wouldn't last five moves.
The real difficulty was leaving a complete corpse, especially when the opponent's Steel Release defense was very strong.
Shimizu managed to do this, the only accident being that the commotion was a bit too big, turning the assassination into a forceful kill.
However, this was also within Shimizu's plan.
Making a big commotion would attract the attention of Hidden Grass Village.
This would both facilitate shifting the blame and allow Ebisu, Baki, and Sato to kidnap Uzumaki Ayane in the chaos.
One elite jonin and two jonin, with most of Hidden Grass Village's main force being drawn away, even without using ninjutsu that easily exposed their identities, were enough to easily kidnap Uzumaki Ayane.
There are many ways to measure whether a ninja has the fighting power of a Kage in the ninja world. Becoming a Five Kage or a Jinchuriki is the most direct way. Another way is to directly confront other famous Kage-level powerhouses, or to show combat power far exceeding the level of a jonin on the front battlefield.
There is also a way to measure is "one person destroys a country."
It's not destroying the Five Great Nations. Only Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had that ability a hundred years ago. Here, it refers to small countries.
Like Sasori using Puppet Mastery: Hundred Performances in the original timeline to capture a small country alone, and it has to be a small country with a ninja village, which means that you have the ability to annihilate a small and medium-sized army with your own strength and guide the local direction in a large-scale war.
The strength of Hidden Grass Village is outstanding among these small countries.
Except for Hidden Rain Village with Hanzo, and Hidden Waterfall Village with the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Hidden Grass Village is the strongest among the five major ninja villages. It is not easy for ordinary Kage-level people to destroy Hidden Grass Village.
However, with Shimizu's current strength, he could wipe out these pursuers tonight.
But Shimizu didn't intend to make things so big.
Because it wasn't necessary.
It's better to leave Hidden Grass Village to disgust other ninja villages, anyway, Hidden Grass Village is not bordering Hidden Sand.
What he wanted was to make a big commotion, not to directly slaughter Hidden Grass Village, which would cause major changes in the situation of the ninja world, and if he really went all out, whether it was Particle Style or puppetry, it would expose his identity.
Now, Shimizu made a little "small" disguise for himself in order to muddy the waters.
"Quick!"
"Chase!"
"That person assassinated Elder Gyuuki!"
"Looking at his attire, he looks like someone from the Anbu of some ninja village."
A group of Hidden Grass ninjas moved quickly, chasing after Shimizu.
And Shimizu now, wearing a gray vest, with no ninja forehead protector tied on his head, only wearing an animal mask on his face.
The only disguise was changing his hairstyle.
A handsome and neat short blond hair made him so eye-catching under the cover of the night.
Kunai, with the words "Sword of Ninja Love" engraved on them just last night, were thrown by Shimizu, shooting towards a group of Hidden Grass ninjas.
In the next moment, golden flashes leaped...
