At this time, there were people standing in front of Konoha and Hokage Rock for the first time in a long time.
The news of Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's official abdication has been announced by Hokage Building. The village did not fall into chaos as many people feared. Instead, it quickly stabilized because the dust of Fifth Hokage's candidate was settled.
Tsunade.
The granddaughter of First Hokage Hashirama, one of Three Legendary Ninja, and the true founder of Konoha Medical System.
Just showing these three identities is enough to suppress most doubts.
Not to mention that after she returned to the village, she immediately took over the hospital, reorganized Medical Unit, personally visited the war wounded, and ordered an inventory of the pensions and medical resources that had been owed in the past. Many civilian families were originally worried that the village would be in chaos after the third generation abdicated, but seeing Tsunade personally taking charge, most of their uneasiness quickly dissipated.
"Lady Tsunade comes back as Hokage, I'm convinced."
"Master First's granddaughter, this is the Konoha orthodoxy."
"How many ninja lives has she saved? My old man was able to survive on the battlefield because of the medical system left by Lady Tsunade."
"Compared to those old guys hiding in the office, Lady Tsunade is at least really reassuring."
On both sides of the street, there were waves of discussion.
The major ninja clans did not object.
Hyuga, Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Inuzuka, Aburame all sent representatives. Even if the old Sarutobi clan and Hokage families were unwilling to do so, they did not dare to jump out and cause trouble at this time.
Because they know very well that Tsunade is the only person who can be accepted by all parties at the moment.
More importantly, Uchiha had no objections.
As long as Uchiha Ren does not object, Fifth Hokage's position will be secure.
In front of Hokage Building, Tsunade, wearing formal Divine Robe, stood in the center of the high platform, with her long blond hair blown by the wind. She didn't have the slightest bit of laxity when she was wandering outside, but instead had a toughness that people couldn't ignore.
Shikaku Nara stood in the audience, watching this scene, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Konoha has experienced too many things during this period.
Danzo fell, Root was banned, three generations abdicated, Uchiha's reputation soared, Land of Lightning paid compensation to the village, the whole Konoha seemed calm, but in fact every step was on the edge of a knife.
Fortunately, Tsunade is back.
Her identity is tough enough, her prestige is high enough, and her temper is tough enough.
At this time, what Konoha needs is not someone who continues to fight, but someone who dares to slap the table.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood at the back, his face looking much older.
He no longer wore Hokage Divine Robe, just an ordinary robe. Like an old man who had been pushed off the stage by the times, he silently watched Tsunade walk to the place where he once stood.
Tsunade didn't look back at him.
She raised her hand to hold the Hokage bamboo hat, her eyes swept over the densely packed villagers and ninjas under Hokage Rock, and her voice spread throughout the square.
"From today on, I am Konoha Fifth Hokage."
The crowd was quiet for a moment, and then burst into cheers like a roaring tsunami.
"Lady Tsunade!"
"Fifth Hokage Master!"
"Konoha finally has a new Hokage!"
Many civilians blushed and raised their arms high. The children of the Ninja Academy also shouted, their voices childish but extremely enthusiastic.
Tsunade waited for the cheers to subside a little before continuing to speak.
"I know that a lot of things have happened in the village during this period, and everyone is uneasy and has questions."
"But I can tell everyone here that Konoha will not fail."
"Root's affairs will be investigated, old accounts will be cleared, and the village's medical care, tasks, public security, and defense will be reorganized."
"At the same time, Konoha cannot survive solely on the Ninja Mission and Land of Fire grants."
As soon as these words came out, many villagers were stunned.
They originally thought that Tsunade would talk about Will of Fire at the succession ceremony, talk about protecting the village, and talk about settling old accounts, but they did not expect that she would suddenly change the topic to the livelihood of the village.
Tsunade didn't want to whet his appetite and stretched his hand directly behind him.
Shizune immediately handed over a scroll.
Tsunade unfolded in front of everyone, and the sound was louder than before.
"From today on, Konoha will jointly promote a new construction plan with the Uchiha Clan."
"Uchiha will invest a huge amount of money to build a comprehensive new city between Uchiha District and Konoha Main District."
"Its name is Super Amazing City."
A low murmur of discussion suddenly erupted in the square.
"Super Amazing City?"
"The new city? Built between Uchiha District and the village?"
"Uchiha paid? Didn't they just get Land of Lightning compensation?"
"What does this have to do with us?"
Tsunade Hearing those voices, the corners of his mouth sank slightly, and the voices were immediately suppressed.
"It's a big deal."
"Super Amazing City is not Uchiha's own clan project. It will include shops, restaurants, hotels, warehousing, tolerance trading, medicinal materials trading, goods circulation, auction venues and leisure areas."
"Land of Fire's grain, medicinal materials, cloth, and wine, Land of Lightning's minerals, Chakra Metal, and forbearance materials will all enter Konoha through Super Amazing City."
"This project will create a large number of construction jobs. Carpenters, masons, transportation teams, cooks, clerks, guards, accounting, cleaning, and warehousing will all need manpower."
"Preliminary estimates indicate that the construction phase of Super Amazing City will provide employment for thousands of civilians, and subsequent operations will only create more long-term jobs."
"Konoha's building materials, transportation, catering, lodging, furniture, medicinal materials and other industries will also be promoted together."
After saying this, the expressions of the people who were just confused just now suddenly changed.
A middle-aged man selling wood suddenly widened his eyes.
"Thousands of jobs? How much wood and stone will it take?"
A woman running a small restaurant next to her also reacted and her voice became louder.
"With more caravans and more foreigners, wouldn't there be more people to eat and stay at?"
"Then, can our children also find work?"
"If the materials for the ninja tool come from Land of Lightning, will the price drop?"
"If it is really built, won't Uchiha District be the busiest place in Konoha from now on?"
The discussion became louder and louder, and soon turned into overwhelming excitement.
Ordinary villagers don't understand complicated politics, but they understand work, business, and what it means to have more income for their families.
In the past, Hokage's change of leadership was only a senior management matter for them.
But Super Amazing City is different.
If this thing really comes to fruition, Konoha will have a new prosperous area, and many civilians who could only rely on sporadic tasks, part-time jobs and small businesses to survive will see new opportunities.
The reaction of the ninjas was not small either.
"If Land of Lightning and Chakra Metal can come in stably, the price of ninja tools may indeed drop."
"With the centralized trading of medicinal materials, Medical Unit supplies will be more convenient."
"With more caravans, there will also be more escort missions. Low-level ninjas no longer have to keep an eye on those D-level missions that steal heads."
"Uchiha is moving Land of Lightning trade route into Konoha."
Shikaku Nara Listening to the increasingly hot sounds around me, I couldn't help but sigh.
Ren is much easier to use than simply saying Uchiha returns to Konoha.
The isolation zone becomes a prosperous area, and hostility will be gradually dispersed by the flow of people and interests.
When villagers rely on Super Amazing City to make money, businessmen rely on Super Amazing City to trade, and ninjas rely on Super Amazing City to obtain tasks and resources, who will still regard Uchiha as an alien isolated on the edge of the village as easily as in the past?
