Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to the wooden house and began to retreat. Miki Xiaoai built a wooden house not far from the Hiruzen Sarutobi wooden house.
Usually only Shimura Danzō would occasionally come to check on the situation, but now Danzo only wants to strengthen Shimura Clan and has completely given up the idea of being Hokage.
Every time he comes, Danzo will show off to Hiruzen Sarutobi, how hard he works, and Shimura Clan will definitely be very powerful in the future.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't say much. Now he is still Qi Refinement Stage. Even if he goes into seclusion, it won't last too long, and he won't enter deep cultivation. In the future, Foundation Establishment or even Golden Core, he may go into seclusion once, and Danzo will be dead.
Danzo is not like Spiritual Root. At the same time, he has implanted other people's cells in his body and has undergone a certain degree of body modification. He is basically useless.
However, after all, he is still a friend of his predecessor. For Konoha, the existence of Danzo is also very important. He is destined to be remembered by the history of Konoha and reviled by the world.
There is no time to practice, but half a year will pass in the blink of an eye.
Miki Xiaoai's cultivation speed is quite good and has reached Qi Refining Third Level.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is practicing for the second time. In his previous life, he knew every level of Qi Refinement Stage. Miki Xiaoai's speed is astonishing.
However, it is normal for Qi Refinement Stage to practice quickly in the early stage.
Taking a deep breath, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up. It was time to go to Tsunade and Shikkotsu Forest!
Walking on the streets of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi discovered that the scale of Konoha has expanded again, and the facilities in the city have become more modern. This may be the benefit of having Orochimaru, a scientist, manage Konoha.
What's more interesting is that Konoha can see many ninjas and businessmen from other countries, which should be the new policy implemented by Orochimaru.
This Third Hokage, because he rarely appears in public recently, everyone has almost forgotten about him.
Now there is only one person supported by Konoha, and that is Orochimaru!
At the same time, Tsunade and Jiraiya still followed the old path of Danzo and joined Government Affairs Department. Otherwise, when two people want to manage the village, they will always be in vain.
The family that supports Orochimaru the most is Uchiha.
Now on the Konoha streets, proud Uchiha can be seen everywhere. They have completely integrated into the Konoha, and most of the Uchiha have moved out of their clan areas and bought houses to live in the central area of Konoha.
The house price of Konoha is not cheap, so only a wealthy person like Uchiha can afford it.
Konoha housing prices have soared, mainly because Orochimaru has opened up to the outside world. As long as you have proof of identity and are not a wanted criminal with a reward from various countries, you can work and settle in Konoha.
This attracted a large number of businessmen and ninjas who had not committed any major crimes.
Other ninja villages are generally clandestine and secretive, scorning the fact that Konoha chose to open up.
Now Konoha's continued soaring housing prices are making everyone jealous.
Even Orochimaru is a little worried. Although he doesn't know what a real estate bubble is, the price of all the real estate in Konoha Ninja Village can definitely buy a small country!
However, it is also true that Konoha's economy is becoming more and more prosperous.
As long as we wait for the right time and launch a war abroad, we can solve these problems.
When we came to Hokage Building, the first person Hiruzen Sarutobi saw was actually Seimei.
When Seimei saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, his eyes lit up and he rushed over.
"Master Hiruzen, I had such a hard time looking for you!"
Seimei spent an inhumane time in Orochimaru's laboratory. Orochimaru took Itachi and Kabuto over and over for research, and even placed multiple seals on him.
After he started developing and manufacturing ninja tools for Konoha, his treatment became much better and he began to be respected by others.
The Chakra Armor he made is a hot commodity, but Orochimaru prohibits him from making offensive ninja tools.
The reason is also very simple. Those offensive ninja tools are indeed good, but they are also easy to become dependent on. The more fancy the ninja tools are, the greater the impact.
Just like the Dragon Eye Retractable Sword, you only need to hold it and inject chakra. Doesn't it require hands?
Look at Kakashi. He has already used the recast White Fang to kill seven in and seven out in Shinobi World. He is known as Konoha and little White Fang.
Moreover, the forging of these ninja tools is complicated. Chakra Armor has the best sales and is very profitable.
"Master Hiruzen, let me see that sword!"
Star Severer is right behind Hiruzen Sarutobi. In the past six months, in addition to practicing, he has been refining this sword.
Now Star Severer has left his mark. After entering the Foundation Establishment period, Star Severer can be taken into the body.
It is simply impossible for outsiders to use this sword. As long as it is inside Konoha, no matter where Star Severer is placed, Hiruzen Sarutobi can wave it and come.
He took Star Severer from his back and handed it to Seimei.
Seimei looked at this sword with the eyes of a pilgrim. The forging technology was completely incomprehensible, and there was no chakra at all. It was like a product from another world!
"Okay, let's take a look at it later when I have time. I still have something to ask Orochimaru."
Reluctantly, he gave Star Severer back to Hiruzen Sarutobi. Seimei wiped his saliva greedily. If the sword was forged by him, it would be worth dying now!
Arriving at Hokage's office, the three apprentices and Shikaku Nara were all there.
"Teacher, why are you free today?"
Jiraiya is a little strange. Hiruzen Sarutobi has been practicing in the wooden house for the past six months. The three of them were so busy with Konoha and making plans for the country that Tenten almost forgot about Hiruzen Sarutobi.
This old guy really knows how to enjoy it, and all the dirty work is left to the three of them!
"Ask about your situation and go to Shikkotsu Forest again."
Hearing Shikkotsu Forest, Tsunade raised his head.
"The village has developed rapidly recently, attracting many foreign ninjas and businessmen, but Land of Fire has become more and more dissatisfied with us."
Orochimaru began to explain the development of Konoha to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As long as we wait about ten years or so for the new generation of Konoha to fully grow up, Konoha's strength will be unprecedentedly powerful!
Even now, Konoha can directly fight against Land of Water, and is completely sure to defeat Kirigakure.
But if you do this, you will have to face the persecution of other ninja villages and the threat of the country's daimyo.
Orochimaru believes that if you want to unify Shinobi World, it is necessary to win the name of Land of Fire!
If you are so rebellious, in this feudal Shinobi World, only Orochimaru can say it out loud.
Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already told Orochimaru about this matter at the very beginning, and he had already made his decision.
