When Chiba Commerce Association was mentioned, a strange light flashed in several people's eyes.
After all, Chiba Commerce Association can be said to have become very famous in Shinobi World recently. After all, their business scope is quite wide and they make a lot of money.
Hiruzen Sarutobi reminds me of the young man who opened Noodle Shop at Konoha. His Ramen was really good at craftsmanship and was well received by the teacher.
I had talked with Tetsuya back then. At that time, he also told me that he would use his own method to spread Chiba's name to Shinobi World.
Now it seems that he really did it. With the expansion of the Chiba Commerce Association's influence, Chiba's name has really spread to Shinobi World everywhere.
Mitokado Homura suggested.
"Chiba Commerce Association's voice can be heard all over Shinobi World, so that Chiba Clan must be very rich. After all, he is Hiruzen who left the village. Maybe you can go and ask for some money from him, as his return to the village."
Hearing Mitokado Homura's suggestion, Shimura Danzō snorted coldly.
"Huh, since that Chiba was a member of the village before, then he has always been a part of the village. In my opinion, that Chiba Commerce Association should belong to the village. Let him, a civilian, control such a huge Trading Company organization. This is a threat.
Hiruzen, let me go and have a good chat with that Chiba Clan. I believe that under my guidance, he will obediently hand over Chiba Commerce Association to Konoha."
For such an existence as Chiba Commerce Association, Shimura Danzō, who is Darkness of the Shinobi World, is naturally aware of it.
He even has a rough idea of how much Chiba Commerce Association earns every day. To be honest, he is also very covetous of the Chiba Commerce Association. If he hadn't had the chance, he would have wanted to secretly control this Chiba Commerce Association.
As long as you control Chiba Commerce Association and have a lot of financial support, Orochimaru's experiment can proceed smoothly. By then, won't Hokage Position be yours?
"You have crossed the line Danzo."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's cold shout brought Danzo back to reality from fantasy.
"Put away your petty thoughts."
He knew very well what his old friend was thinking, and he must have had some evil thoughts about the Chiba Commerce Association.
But he Hiruzen Sarutobi will never allow Danzo to do this. Although he has been Hokage for so many years, his mentality and thoughts have undergone some changes.
But some things have not changed. The teacher once said that Chiba Clan dedicated everything he had to Konoha. Of the good Shinobi Clan, only the Chiba Tetsuya is left.
For such a family that has dedicated everything to the village, he will not allow Danzo to mess around. Besides, the teacher also said that he should take care of the Chiba Clan, but as of now, he can't do anything, but at least he can't let his old friend harm the other party.
"Although Chiba Tetsuya was once a member of Konoha, they Chiba Clan have paid enough for Konoha. One Shinobi Clan fought hard for Konoha to the end, and now only his family is left. We cannot ask too much of such a family."
As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of cigarette.
"However, the village is indeed in some difficulties now, so let me go and talk to him. Tetsuya is a sensible person, and I believe he will understand."
Utatane Koharu reminded him at this moment.
"If that's the case, then Hiruzen I suggest you hurry up. According to intelligence, Chiba Commerce Association cooperates with Hanzo of the Salamander, Hanzo of the Salamander invited the person in charge of the Chiba Commerce Association to go to Amegakure to attend his Rain Shadow Inauguration Ceremony. If nothing else, he should leave soon."
"This Chiba Tetsuya actually dares to cooperate with Amegakure. This is a betrayal of the village. Hiruzen is talking about nothing. The right thing to do is to directly control Chiba Tetsuya and ask him to hand over Chiba Commerce Association."
"That's enough Danzo, he is just a commoner and not a member of the village Ninja. It is his freedom to do business and cooperate with whomever he wants."
"Hmph, Hiruzen, you are really too weak. An organization like Chiba Commerce Association should be in the hands of the village. If you let him cooperate with Amegakure, there will be big problems sooner or later!"
"That's enough Danzo, I am Hokage!"
"You will regret it Hiruzen!"
Shimura Danzō slapped the table and slammed the door.
Watching Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi leave, they kept smoking. The smoke filled Conference Room, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly.
The next day, Chiba Grand Hotel, Tetsuya, who was preparing to leave for Amegakure, received a message from Konoha.
"Hmm? Hiruzen Sarutobi invited me back to Konoha? Do you want to talk to me about something?"
Tetsuya looked at the letter delivered to him through the Trading Company channel, and his mind was filled with questions for a while.
"No, what's going on? Is there any big event happening in Konoha during this period? And it seems that I haven't been in contact with Konoha for a long time."
He wanted to ask Izuna for his opinion. After all, he had a bright mind and might be able to see some problems.
But Izuna is not here, he is still studying Forbidden Technique in Chiba Estate.
"It doesn't matter, let's use the soldiers to cover up the water and the earth. It's impossible for that guy Hiruzen Sarutobi to use Reaper Death Seal to fuck himself when we meet."
Tetsuya was just about to ask Carriage to take him back first. Konoha stopped when he reached the door.
"Isn't it a little inappropriate for me to go back like this?"
After thinking about it, he activated Transformation Technique, transforming himself into the image of a fat, fat, middle-aged man with a big belly.
"Well, this fits the identity of 'Chiba Tetsuya'."
This trip back to Konoha was exceptionally smooth. There were no assassinations, no attacks, and no accidents.
Carriage arrived at Konoha smoothly.
Konoha Gate mouth, Hiruzen Sarutobi wearing Hokage Robe, Hokage Hat wearing Hokage Hat stood in person to greet Konoha Gate.
Mitokado Homura asked with some confusion.
"Hiruzen, isn't this a bit too much? You are the shadow of a village, do you need to come to greet the other party in person?"
Utatane Koharu on the side also nodded to express his confusion. Even if you Hiruzen Sarutobi want to pretend to be close to the people, why do you want them to come with you?
Hiruzen Sarutobi held Smoking Pipe in his mouth and responded with a smile.
"Haha, you don't understand this. Now you know the influence of the Chiba Commerce Association in Shinobi World, but what you don't know is that Chiba Tetsuya himself is also very close to those Princes and Nobless of Capital City, and he has integrated into those Noble Lords circles.
Although on the surface, he is just a civilian, Merchant, but if you really think of him that way, you are wrong. As long as he wants, he can become Nobility of Land of Fire at any time, and he is still very close to Daimyo Nobility."
As soon as these words came out, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu both reacted.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi seems to be very powerful as Hokage, that is limited to the inside of Konoha.
Hokage has reached the generation of Hiruzen Sarutobi, which is different from before. In the past, whether it was First Hokage or Second, they could ignore Daimyo of the Land of Fire and Nobility, but Hiruzen Sarutobi could not. This is the gap.
