Konoha Thirty-three years, May.
With the end of Chunin Exams, the lively village suddenly fell silent.
Starting from Konoha Lightning to Daimyo's Capital, a large number of ninjas left the village to perform tasks.
There were originally many tasks after the war, not to mention that a large-scale political show attracted the attention of countless businessmen and nobles... For a time, the documents in Hokage Building piled up like a mountain, and Konoha became the busiest logistics company in the entire Shinobi World.
Isn't it just a multinational logistics company?
The goods of Land of Snow were escorted to Land of Hot Water; the medicinal herbs of Red Continent Island were sent to Land of Iron; the young lady from this family married an old man from that country; the young man from that family married into a wealthy woman from this country...
In short, the tasks are all over the world, all kinds of strange, and have everything.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't care about anything else. Not to mention Anbu and Root Shinobi, even Police Force, who was usually disliked, was temporarily sent out to perform tasks...
In short, as long as Uchiha Clan doesn't cause trouble, he doesn't mind being a little more generous and making some innocuous concessions.
Even when Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting alone in his study, working as a wife, he would occasionally think, "It would be great to make money just standing like this. Everyone is quiet and harmonious... fighting for power and profit is really boring."
"Huh?" He closed the "interesting" comic book and wondered, "How could I have such thoughts? No, it's too calm. There is also an inexplicable feeling of being boring and seeing through the world..."
With such confusion, he stood up again, looked at the drawn calendar, and murmured, "There are still five months left, Biwako is due to give birth... It's so difficult."
Not to mention Third Hokage who fell into sage mode, the village would inevitably fall into a void in terms of defense if it sent so many ninjas at once.
However, fortunately, it has only been a year since the war ended, and no one will attack Konoha at this time.
However, the void in defense has to be treated with caution.
You must know that Konoha's existing barrier system was established under the leadership of Uzumaki Mito.
This big man has passed away for several years, and Konoha is constantly expanding.
Although the barrier defense is constantly expanding, the effect is not always satisfactory.
At least, it is much worse than the barrier completed by Mito himself.
Fortunately, Kushina, as a disciple of Mito's words and deeds, also started to join Barrier Team. Although she is young, she possesses the talent inherited from the Uzumaki Clan blood.
In addition, for some unknown reason, Little Fox, who had always liked to be lazy, became diligent, and his achievements in Sealing Jutsu also improved by leaps and bounds.
This amazed the ninjas of Barrier Team, and they all shouted genius.
The most tragic thing is that Minato and Nawaki are brothers in a dilemma.
I thought that after joining Anbu, I would reach the pinnacle of my life. Who would have thought... but I would face difficulties and teasing from all kinds of old people.
However, Third Hokage turned a blind eye to this matter.
Who hasn't picked up soap?
If you really don't want to pick it up, then increase your strength.
From Third Hokage's point of view, the two of them had gone smoothly before and had not suffered many setbacks. Even if they had, they would have been easily dealt with by Chen.
This is not conducive to their growth.
Now, Anbu is a good whetstone, so why would he interfere?
Not only will he not interfere, he will also add fuel to the flames.
As for whether the knife will be broken by sharpening... is a knife that can be sharpened still a good knife?
In short, everyone is busy.
But there are one or two who are quite thick-skinned.
For example, Tsunade and Jiraiya.
Not long after Uchiha Chen left the village, the two of them also started packing their bags, preparing for a spontaneous journey.
I have seen lazy people, but I have never seen such lazy people.
Sarutobi Hiruzen even wondered if Jiraiya and Tsunade were preparing to piss him off so that they could inherit his Konoha Credit.
Unfortunately, he couldn't return the goods. If he could, he would have packaged the two items and sent them back by express delivery.
However, he finally understood that neither Tsunade nor Jiraiya had any intention of Hokage's position. In another ten years, the person sitting in the position of Fourth Hokage may be Orochimaru or Sakumo.
In short, Konoha is still the same Konoha. Let's not mention it for the moment. Let us return our attention to Daimyo's Capital.
A few days later, after a somewhat uneventful few days of traveling, Uchiha Chen and his party finally arrived at Capital of the Land of Fire.
After completing the procedures for entering the capital, the three of them slowly stepped into the city gate.
With the end of the war, Daimyo's Capital is even more prosperous than three years ago.
Most of the pedestrians walking on the road are either rich or noble, and they are everywhere in fine clothes. It is impossible to see anyone who is hungry and has a sallow complexion.
This scene is simply unparalleled anywhere else.
The three of them walked like this, occasionally paying attention, but they only looked at it a few more times and then stopped paying attention.
Daimyo's Capital is the city that never sleeps in Land of Fire. It is extremely prosperous. Anyone who knocks down a few bricks may be related to a certain big shot.
Even the common people in the alleys and markets claimed to have seen such-and-such a patriarch and such-and-such shadow. Who would care about three and a half-year-old children?
The three of them just strolled along the main axis. After an unknown amount of time, they finally saw Tenshukaku at the end of the road.
Looking from a distance, Tenshukaku is surrounded by solid walls and moats. The walls are painted with white paint and matched with green roof tiles, and each flying eaves is decorated with animal shapes of tigers, dragon heads and fish bodies made of gold foil.
During the Warring States Period period, this place served as an observation tower, material storage room and military defense.
However, with the establishment of one country and one village, Tenshukaku has been slowly transformed over the past thirty years, and has gradually lost the significance of military defense, and has become more of a symbol of Daimyo's rights and enjoyment.
The three of them were preparing to cross the river when suddenly a carriage came at a gallop. The driver was sweating and anxious.
Uchiha Chen waved his hand to signal Mikoto and Himeji not to take it too seriously. At the same time, he stepped aside to give way, narrowly avoiding the hooves of the two tall horses.
It really goes along with the saying that a good horse will be ridden by others, and a good person will be bullied by others.
A few people didn't want to cause trouble and didn't mind the carriage collision, but the groom who came out of the General's Mansion thought the three and a half-year-old children were an eyesore.
You know, General Suppressing the Japanese Jun in the car had delayed Daimyo's morning meeting because of his illness. He was urged so hard along the way that he was scolded numerous times. Of course, he was in a bad mood and hit people with his whip in anger.
As for the consequences... there are countless Lang Ninjas and Samurai raised in the house, but here is still Daimyo's feet, are you still afraid of him?
Uchiha Chen smiled and made no move. The groom who waved the whip screamed "ah" and fell down from the car.
The two tall horses stopped suddenly because of fright, then raised their hooves high and stepped on his chest with a click, breaking four ribs.
After the carriage stopped, a middle-aged man with a bloody head and head stepped out of the carriage.
He covered his head, and when he saw the misfortune of his servant again, he became furious and cursed.
Basically, he was angrily scolding the ninjas who dared to commit crimes outside Tenshukaku, and asked them to report their names.
He naturally saw Forehead Protector of Konoha, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident.
You know, Konoha Hidden Village has strict orders not to kill civilians at will, let alone a Land of Fire official like him.
Moreover, after the bandits of Rogue Town were wiped out by ninjas four years ago, most of the local villagers fled and became pirates. It was by killing these people that he became "General Suppressing the Japanese" and won the trust of Daimyo.
Even this reconstruction of Guardian Ninja includes ninjas recommended by him.
If not, he wouldn't dare threaten Konoha Ninja outside Tenshukaku's door.
The young man couldn't help but laugh when he saw the middle-aged man being helpless and furious, spitting everywhere, and then he shouted slowly:
"Police, come out to clean the floor."
