Konoha It is inevitable to open a village.
Although Village Lockdown has been living for nearly three years, it has indeed allowed Konoha, who was already in a worse situation, to recover a lot, and the quiet life has also made Hiruzen Sarutobi a lot easier, but Village Lockdown means that there is no financial source.
If you only get out but don't get in, you will run out of money sooner or later.
Although Land of Fire has also provided funds to Konoha in the past three years, if they continue to only take money and do not perform tasks, over time, Land of Fire Feudal Lord's Mansion will be dissatisfied!
Just like Kirigakure today.
Although Village Lockdown did help them recover a lot, Kirigakure and Land of Water had actually been at odds for a long time.
After not performing tasks for so many years, Land of Water Feudal Lord's Mansion has expressed his distrust of Kirigakure.
Therefore, it is impossible for Konoha to always be Village Lockdown!
Hiruzen Sarutobi crossed his hands and placed them in front of his chin, looking at everyone in front of him with a serious face, "So, what do you think of this?"
Although we have decided to open a village, we still have to discuss it with everyone.
"It is indeed time to open a village! Not only for economic reasons, but also to ensure Konoha's status, we must open a village." Utatane Koharu took the lead in affirming Hokage's decision, nodded, and said equally seriously, "Otherwise, if this continues... Konoha's status will definitely be threatened."
Although Konoha did suffer heavy losses in the past few years, it still carries the title of Shinobi World's number one ninja village!
"And in the past three years, Konoha has also recovered a lot. Some time ago, Konoha Ninja Academy graduated many outstanding children. They will definitely become Konoha excellent ninjas in the future. They are even called the Konoha golden generation.
It's just... It's not possible to stay in the village to become a powerful ninja. With Konoha's Village Lockdown, Konoha now doesn't have so many tasks for children to experience! "
After Utatane Koharu finished speaking, everyone started discussing.
Now it is indeed as what consultant Utatane Koharu said, the economy is not bad, if you are poor, you will be poorer, and you can still persist for a while, but the training of ninja... is not simply staying in the village.
Every outstanding jounin has completed countless tasks and encountered countless dangers before he became a powerful jounin!
Similarly, even Danzo thinks so. In fact, he did not support Konoha and Village Lockdown from the beginning.
But he... had done such a big thing, and with Hiruzen's persistence, in the end, he had no choice but to accept it.
Although he has secretly received letters from Gato in the past few years and knows that the production base at Land of Waves is doing very well, he still wants to see it in his heart!
Of course~
He also did not expect that Gato would be able to maintain Land of Waves's production base and make it bigger and stronger during his absence.
I originally thought that it would only cause some trouble for Kusagakure. If I could barely survive, I would be successful after I get out!
I heard that this was also thanks to the help of Iwagakure, Kumogakure and Orochimaru.
Especially Orochimaru...
According to Gato's letter, he was full of praise for Orochimaru and said that Land of Waves's production base is what it is today thanks to Orochimaru's help.
Otherwise, Land of Waves Production Base would be gone long ago.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that Orochimaru, who had defected with money, would help Land of Waves Production Base so wholeheartedly.
Could it be that he felt guilty after defecting?
Or is it just to help Konoha?
Sure enough...
As expected of a student of Hiruzen, even if he defected, he still has Konoha in his heart.
[Forget it~, after you can open a village, I won't pursue what you did back then!]Danzo sighed inwardly, and then thought about the village that would be opened next, his eyes also froze, and he murmured to himself, "Grass Ninja Manufacturing..."
When he returns, he will definitely take charge of Land of Waves Production Base and wash away the shame on him!
And judging from Land of Waves Production Base in recent years...
Grass Ninja Manufacturing is not unbeatable!
Is it possible...
His majestic Darkness of Ninjutsu can't compare to a mere businessman?
Gato is indeed a talent, but Shimura Danzō is not a waste of fame!
At this time.
The sound of the discussion gradually weakened.
"In that case... then we decided to open a village!" After seeing that everyone had the same idea as him, Hiruzen Sarutobi also nodded with satisfaction. You know today... even Danzo didn't argue with him!
It made him a little uncomfortable!
With a big wave of his hand, "Let's reserve the time for Chunin Ninja Exams! On Chunin Exam, tell the people... We Konoha have opened a village!"
"That Hiruzen~" Mitokado Homura hesitated and said, "It's too late."
Since Village Lockdown, his agent name has disappeared. Therefore, the income of the village has plummeted!
As for Danzo's idea, he has always been opposed to it!
After all, this is not suitable for today's Konoha!
But in the past few years, it seems... Land of Waves Production Base, which was secretly founded by Danzo, has indeed succeeded. Therefore, at this time, he can only acquiesce!
"After all, Chunin Exam's preparations are not light either!"
"In that case... then delay it for a while, and also notify other ninja villages as soon as possible! This matter is very important to Konoha!"
"I understand. I will make arrangements after we get down, but...Kusagakure do you want to inform?"
As Mitokado Homura hesitated, the words fell.
The entire conference room suddenly fell into silence, and everyone raised their eyebrows one by one.
Even Danzo and Hiruzen are a pick.
Kusagakure ah~
If possible, these scammers... they just want to stay far away.
But now Kusagakure has replaced the original Sunagakure and become one of the new Five Great Ninja Villages. Chunin Exam really has to invite people. If Kusagakure is not invited, will it be thought that they are afraid of Konoha?
Especially this time Chunin Exam... still has to announce to the entire Shinobi World that Konoha has reopened the village!
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his cigarette and lit it with trembling hands. Then, his eyes glanced at Chunin, and his face became uncertain.
final.
He seemed to have made a decision, and sighed, "Yeah... let's inform Kusagakure too~ I think coming to Chunin Exam, in front of so many people, Grass Ninja should not dare to mess around!"
As he said that, he looked at everyone who wanted to say something else and waved his hand.
"Everyone, go down now! Make arrangements to open the village! As for Danzo..." There was a slight pause, "Stay for a while!"
"???"
After everyone left, Danzo looked at Hiruzen in confusion, then frowned slightly, and was about to ask Hiruzen why he stayed behind.
I saw.
Hiruzen poured Danzo a cup of tea with trembling hands, then took a deep breath and looked at Danzo with deep eyes, "Danzo~." With a pleading tone, "After opening the village this time, let's not cause trouble, okay? Be quiet, I have a bad heart~" He covered his chest and said, "I can't stand the trouble anymore!"
"..."
That's it?
soon.
Kusagakure also received an invitation from Konoha Chunin Exam.
only.
After receiving the invitation from Konoha, everyone fell silent and looked at the invitation letter in front of them with complicated faces.
Then they sighed together with emotion, and their tone trembled slightly, "Konoha Konoha... He is indeed my Kusagakure's dishonest brother~"
That's all~
How dare you invite them Kusagakure to participate in Chunin Ninja Exams?!
So what do Third Hokage think?
