"Whoosh!"

Kanami reappeared and returned to Tsunade's side.

Why aren't you leaving yet?

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him. "I was waiting for you, wasn't I? I don't know the way. Besides, you can use the Flying Thunder God Technique, it's so convenient for you."

Kanami: "..."

You're treating me like a means of transportation, aren't you?

"Hand."

Kanami grabbed Tsunade's arm, Flying Thunder God Technique was activated instantly, teleporting him directly to the door of the Hokage's Office.

"Go to work, goodbye."

After Kanami finished speaking, he instantly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared.

Tsunade glared fiercely at the spot where he had been standing.

"That wretched brat! He brought me straight to my office! I haven't even told him where I wanted to go yet!"

She hasn't bought any liquor yet, and now that she's back in the office, she'll have to go run errands again.

However, just as she was about to slip away, the office door was pushed open.

"Lady Tsunade! You're finally back! Go get back to work, Tonton is starving, I'm going to feed her."

The moment Shizune saw Tsunade, her eyes flickered.

They ran away in an instant.

Tsunade's lips twitched.

"It's just that meetings take a little longer, why is even Shizune unwilling to do Hokage work anymore?"

Ah, I want to feed Tonton too.

Meanwhile, a large number of poor people quietly appeared at the Konoha Village.

"Lord Boro, is what you're saying true? If we ask Konoha for help, they will come to our rescue."

A beautiful woman looked at a tall man dressed in Kara Organization clothing and asked for confirmation.

This man was none other than Boro, the founder of the Otsutsuki Cult.

"Of course, Konoha rescues many people, but they only rescue good people. I've heard that they won't take in anyone who has done anything bad."

"That's great! I've never done anything bad since I was a child!"

The woman nodded excitedly to Boro in thanks.

"Keep up with the troops, or there might not be any more positions available."

"Boro, Lord Boro! Otsutsuki Cult live on forever!"

As the woman quickly followed, Boro gave her a disdainful look.

"These people are so easy to fool."

Soon, Mizuki Izumo and Kotetsu Hagane, who were on duty at the entrance, saw groups of disaster victims rushing towards them.

Mizuki Izumo: "Wow, so many refugees? I thought it was another group coming to attack Konoha."

Kotetsu Hagane: "Be careful, it might really be a trick by those Iwagakure Ninja. After all, Iwagakure has always harbored resentment towards Konoha."

"The newly appointed Fourth Tsuchikage of Iwagakure is an idiot. It was clearly two Kage-level from Iwagakure who launched the attack on Konoha. Isn't it normal for them to be wiped out?"

"Are we, Konoha, just going to let them start a war and then do nothing to stop them?"

Mizuki Izumo was very dissatisfied.

However, his voice is meaningless; he can only offer his criticisms.

Kotetsu Hagane nodded, "Yes, but I heard that the newly appointed Tsuchikage of Iwagakure is Kurotsuchi, who is Ōnoki's granddaughter and Kitsuchi's daughter."

"I see... That makes some sense then, but it's still stupid. How could someone so young possibly stand a chance against our Konoha Village?"

"Yes," Kotetsu Hagane nodded.

Soon, the two walked out of the Village Entrance, looked at the nearly one hundred poor people in front of them, and reached out their hands.

"Don't go any further. This is Konoha Village, not a place for you."

The crowd immediately stopped in their tracks, and several of the younger people quickly realized what was happening.

"Konoha Village?"

"We're heading straight for Konoha Village!"

"Konoha, please, please take us in!"

We haven't eaten in a long time.

"Our village was destroyed in the war, and we traveled a long way to get here."

"I heard you specialize in taking in good people. We're definitely good people; we'd rather die than steal from anyone."

The chatter from everyone left Kotetsu Hagane and Mizuki Izumo somewhat bewildered.

"When did our Konoha Village start taking in poor people?"

Mizuki Izumo shook his head. "I don't know. Neither of us, as Guardian God, have heard of it. It's probably just fake news."

Kotetsu Hagane nodded, resting his hand on his chin. "That's true. Even we Guardian God haven't heard of it. We hold an important position controlling entry and exit, so it must be fake."

"Everyone, Konoha has never had a policy of taking in good people. I don't know where you got this information from, so please leave."

Kotetsu Hagane addressed the crowd in a relatively gentle tone.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

No?

No such message?

"How is that possible!"

"Then what have we been doing spending so much time in your Konoha?"

"Let us in!"

Suddenly, the people around him went from being mild-mannered to becoming irritable.

They had been living a life of hardship, barely eating a proper meal, all to reach Konoha and finally get a hot meal. And now they were being told all this information was false?

Even if it's fake, they have to treat it as real now!

As for finding the person who spread the false information, they didn't know who it was.

Most of it is hearsay.

Instead of wasting time finding the people spreading false information, they should just stir things up here and get Konoha Village to send them food.

After all, they could see the prosperity of Konoha at a glance.

The village looked much more grand and spacious than the village they came from.

A village like this could easily take in about a hundred people.

But why should Konoha take them in?

"Your Konoha is so wealthy now, what's wrong with doing something for the Shinobi World?"

"Can't you see some of us are just skin and bones from hunger? Give us something to eat!"

"Konoha, such a great village, is actually like this! We originally thought Konoha was an exceptionally good village, and the Hokage was exceptionally good, which is why we traveled all this way to get here."

"Yeah, it turns out they were scammers! What kind of 'taking in good people' thing!"

"Since good people won't take us in, then we'll be the bad guys!"

"Yes! Charge! Loot! Since good people are going to starve to death, let's be the bad guys!"

"Exactly! Those who wouldn't take us in are the bad guys! Why should they get to live such good lives!"

"Rush!"

In an instant, hundreds of refugees, amidst a cacophony of voices, rushed toward Kotetsu Hagane and Mizuki Izumo.

Neither of them had ever seen anything like this before.

If the opponents were armed Ninja, they would retaliate decisively. But the opponents were clearly commoners; should they really kill them?

For a moment, the two were at a loss.

I instinctively took a step back.

However, it was this very step that gave these people hope.

They were scared!!!

The Ninja of Konoha were afraid!
