Of course, now he Hiruzen Sarutobi can still sit in the position of Hokage for some more time. If necessary, he can let Danzo suppress White Fang of the Leaf's reputation and create more favorable election opportunities for his disciples.
But in the final analysis, his 'kindness' made him unwilling to take action against the villagers.
After sitting in this position of Hokage for a long time, Hiruzen Sarutobi also felt that he was starting to get cramped.
Nowadays, a person told himself that he could give himself a sum of money to help him solve Konoha's financial problems, and also transfer this White Fang of the Leaf who made him a little nervous.
Is there such a good thing in the world?
No matter how high his prestige White Fang of the Leaf is in the village, as long as he leaves Konoha, everything he has in Konoha will fade away under the influence of time and his own operations.
"Uh, this, this..."
Although he was very happy in his heart, he still had a troubled expression on his face.
"Tetsuya, you know that Sakumo is the great hero of the village. He went deep into Land of Wind's rear alone among Shinobi War, disrupting Sunagakure's logistics Supply Line..."
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's reaction, Tetsuya secretly cursed in his heart that he was really evil. He just wanted to increase money. What nonsense? Why didn't you say that Hatake Sakumo was the great hero of the village when he died later?
But he still said with a smile.
"I understand, I understand everything, I can add money."
"Oh, oh, oh, what do you want me to say?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed.
"Since Chiba Commerce Association appeared, we Konoha can see more products, and the lives of the villagers have become more colorful. This is all thanks to you Tetsuya, you are so important to Konoha has contributed so much to Land of Fire, so your safety is naturally very important. I think your proposal is very good, and it is very appropriate to let a strong person like Sakumo protect you."
"Hahaha, what Lord Hokage said makes sense, so can we have a happy cooperation?"
"A pleasure to work with!"
The two shook hands and both showed satisfied smiles.
"Tetsuya, you must have rushed back from Capital City. You must have been tired and hungry on the way. I have prepared a reception banquet for you. The dishes should be ready now. Let's take a seat."
"Okay, let's have a nice drink with Lord Hokage today?"
"Hahaha, have a drink, have a drink."
Several people left laughing, obviously very satisfied with the final result.
After a banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't even open his mouth to smile after receiving the funding from Tetsuya.
However, Hatake Sakumo went on a mission and was not with Konoha for the time being. Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to promise Tetsuya that after Hatake Sakumo's mission was over and Konoha returned, he would let him find Tetsuya as soon as possible.
Tetsuya is not afraid that Hiruzen Sarutobi will go back on his word and take his own money without doing anything, so he, Third Hokage, doesn't have to be a fool anymore and can wait to see his teacher.
After the banquet, Tetsuya said goodbye. After all, he was rushing to Amegakure to witness the inauguration ceremony of Hanzo of the Salamander.
Konoha, Root Base.
Danzo was sitting on his seat that was a one-to-one replica of Hokage's throne, listening to Root Ninja's report below.
"You mean, in the end, Chiba Tetsuya gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a sum of money and then asked Hatake Sakumo to protect him?"
"Yes."
"As expected of you Monkey, not only did you get a sum of money, but you also handled a difficult problem Hatake Sakumo."
After listening to the report, Shimura Danzō couldn't help but sneered.
"Has that Chiba Tetsuya left the village?"
"Already left. Judging from the direction he left, he probably didn't plan to go back to Capital City, but planned to go directly to Land of Rain."
"Land of Rain..."
Danzo lowered his head, a dangerous light flashing in his cautious one eye, wondering what conspiracy he was planning.
As time goes by, Amegakure has become more and more lively recently.
The Rain Shadow Inauguration Ceremony date for Hanzo of the Salamander is coming soon.
Needless to say, people in Land of Rain are looking forward to this day. Many people who like to watch the excitement also came to Amegakure from all directions.
Not to mention anything else, relying on this alone has allowed the economy of Amegakure and even Land of Rain to grow a lot.
After all, these people have to eat when they come, and they have to spend money to eat. After that, before the store opens, they have to find a place to stay, and they have to spend money to stay in the hotel. Even if they join in the fun and go back after watching the ceremony, they should take some specialties with them. This costs money, right?
Funded by Amegakure, Kakuzu led the team to preside over the newly built Rain Shadow Building, and Hanzo of the Salamander sat in the brand new Rain Shadow Office to listen to the reports of his subordinates.
I couldn't help but nod my head in approval.
"Okay, okay, as expected of Mr. Kakuzu, he is really a business genius. This trick of issuing invitations to Other Shinobi Villages is really clever. Regardless of whether they come or not, the publicity for this inauguration ceremony is in place. Many people from other countries who join in the fun come to Land of Rain, which in turn promotes economic development.
The hotels in the village are already full, and many villagers' B&Bs are full of people coming to attend the ceremony. Many people can't find a place to stay in the village and have to live in nearby towns."
Nowadays, Hanzo of the Salamander's face is glowing red, and the smile on his face cannot stop. There is no way, life is so good.
The village is rich, and I am enjoying it too. It seems that everything is moving in a good direction, and both Land of Rain and Amegakure are thriving.
"Haha, Lord Rain Shadow is joking. I am not a genius. Our Boss Chiba is the real genius. I only became a monk halfway and learned a few things from him."
"Really? By the way, where is Boss Chiba? When will he arrive in our village? Let me know before you arrive so that I can personally greet him."
After Kakuzu's constant praise, coupled with the previous operation of sending Rain Shadow Hat, Hanzo of the Salamander firmly believed that Chiba Tetsuya was his confidant that Hanzo of the Salamander had never met and was also his important partner.
You should have an attitude towards your close friends and partners.
"It should be soon. I received news from our boss this morning. He should be able to arrive at Amegakure near evening."
"Oh, really? Then I have to get ready."
Hanzo of the Salamander stood up and straightened Rain Shadow Hat and Kage Robe on his head.
"Here comes someone."
"Master Rain Shadow, what are your orders?"
A Ninja from Amegakure walked into the office. Although Hanzo of the Salamander had not officially taken up the position of Rain Shadow, all the Ninja in the village had already been ordered to change their words.
"Are you ready for the Villa I asked you to prepare before?"
"Master Rain Shadow, people have already prepared it."
