Chapter 112 Arrival at Konoha

In the hall of his own house, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned at the future daughter-in-law in front of him.

"The responsibility for that battle is not yours, and Shinnosuke certainly does not want to see you consumed by hatred."

With a sigh, Hiruzen Sarutobi persuaded.

The future daughter-in-law suddenly handed in an application for the Chunin Exam. Although this girl, like her son Shinnosuke, had never participated in the Chunin Exam, and there was no record of promotion in the official file, strictly speaking, she was indeed a Genin and could participate in the Chunin Exam.

But she had already been a special Jonin two years ago. After two years of crazy hard training, she was able to rival a real Jonin, and her purpose for participating in the Chunin Exam this time was obviously not simple.

He valued this prospective daughter-in-law very much, and even raised her as a daughter. He even taught her the stick techniques of their Sarutobi family, and also instructed her to combine the sword techniques of the Shimura family with the stick techniques of their Sarutobi family. Her physical skills were very powerful.

But I didn't expect that a mission in the Whirlpool Country would have such a big variable, so that the family elites were lost and even his son was captured.

Shimura Izumi didn't say anything, and her attitude was very firm.

She had asked Uncle Hiruzen to go to the front line of the Hot Spring Country to fight against the Cloud Ninja, but was rejected by Uncle Hiruzen many times.

This time, the Cloud Hidden Village sent people to participate in the Chunin Exam. I must do something and make the Cloud Ninja pay the price.

"Alas! Go back and prepare."

Seeing the determination of the prospective daughter-in-law, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed again and signaled to go back and prepare.

"Thank you, Uncle Hiruzen."

Shimura Izumi bowed and thanked him, then stood up and left.

Since she came back from the Land of Whirlpools, she has not returned to the Shimura family, nor has she met her father.

In her opinion, it was because her father acted on his own and misinterpreted Uncle Hiruzen's intentions that he was surrounded and killed by the Hidden Cloud Village and the Uzumaki clan.

If not for this, the elites of the two clans would not have been robbed, and Shinnosuke would not have been captured.

"Can she take the Chunin Exam?"

Sarutobi Biwako walked in with a worried look on her face.

"Although Koizumi has hatred and murderous intentions in her heart, she is very calm and knows what to do. This time, she should only target the Cloud Ninja and will not touch the Sand Ninja candidates."

Taking a puff of smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen could see the changes in the future daughter-in-law. Originally, after years of guidance from him, her temperament was in line with his own kind, but after the battle in the Land of Whirlpools, her temperament was more like that of Danzo.

Fortunately, she remained calm and rational, so there was no need to worry too much.

At this stage, it is enough not to target the candidates from Sand Village. As for the candidates from Kumogakure, it is fine to kill them. It would be better if they can provoke Kumogakure to start a war.

He has received information that his son was traded to Sand Village by Kumogakure and is currently being held by the village.

In this case, the attitude of Kumogakure does not matter. Moreover, there are big problems on the front line of Kumogakure. In the past two years, there has not been a real general offensive and bloody battle, and even few people have died. It seems that some kind of agreement has been reached with the Uchiha who are fighting there.

This is not what he wants to see. He must find a way to make a real fight there to weaken the strength of the Uchiha.

Especially now that their Sarutobi family and Shimura family have lost their elites, the major ninja clans must also be severely weakened and pulled to the same level, so that a balance can be formed again.

"What should Shinnosuke do?"

Asked about his son's situation, he was very worried about his son's situation.

"The Sand Village wants to use Shinnosuke as a bargaining chip for post-war negotiations, and will not harm him."

Spitting out smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very clear about the original actions of the Cloud Village and the thoughts of the Sand Village.

The Cloud Village simply wanted to divert the trouble to the other side and further drag the Sand Village into the game.

The Sand Village wanted to use their son as the final bargaining chip, and the situation was not bad at the moment.

Sarutobi Biwako still had a lot to say, but she finally suppressed it.

She knew that her husband had been under a lot of pressure in the past two years, not only outside the village, but also inside the village.

Especially the war in the Whirlpool Country two years ago caused the elite of the clan who had reached the special ninja to be wiped out, and even Sun and Moon died on the front line. Now is the time when the family is the weakest.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless. The pressure in his heart was indeed not small, and the most important thing to do was to restore the family's high-end combat power as soon as possible.

In the plan of the Whirlpool Country, he handed over all the elites of the clan who had reached the level of Special Jonin and above to Danzo, and then the whole army was wiped out, and the corpses were made into human puppets by the Sand Village.

Although he was angry, he also understood that the dead could not be resurrected. Now he could only find a way to cultivate the next generation, especially those with excellent talents and more than two chakra attributes.

As long as one can cultivate a change of nature, he can become a Special Jonin, and two are the standard Jonin combat power.

Only by restoring the family's strength as soon as possible can his position as Hokage be stabilized.

Unlike now, the ninja clans in the village are eyeing his position as Hokage, and want to replace him through this Ninja World War.

Especially the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are watching the most closely, and even the Hyuga clan, which has always been peaceful, has revealed some weirdness in recent years.

Alas! It's a troubled time!

Fortunately, that person is still willing to work for Konoha, and just took the opportunity of this Chunin exam to intimidate the major ninja villages.

As long as that person is there, the major ninja villages dare not burst out and start a war with all their strength.

Let alone Sarutobi Hiruzen's depression, on the other side, Tamura Hao and his companions arrived at the port, bought enough fresh fish and salted fish and dried fish for Chuliangmaru to take back, and then rushed to Konoha.

They needed to arrive in Konoha a few days in advance, so that they would have time to observe Konoha and he could find a chance to contact Danzo.

After running all the way, they finally arrived in Konoha four days in advance.

"Konoha, I, Tamura Hitoshi, am back again!"

Looking at the familiar village gate of Konoha and the Hokage Cliff in the distance, Tamura Hao said in his heart.

When he was selected by the root, he knew that he could not stay in Konoha. Now is the time when the Hokage and several major ninja clans are fighting openly and secretly. If he gets involved, he will definitely be killed.

So he took the initiative to develop in the direction of a spy, and was eventually trained as a spy and sent out of Konoha and arranged to the Hidden Cloud Village.

Not to mention that the golden finger had not been awakened at that time, even if it was awakened, it would not be easy to get along in Konoha, especially under the command of Danzo. If you perform too well, you may be investigated, or even have your memory searched by illusion.

This is the beginning of hell, and you can only go to the Hidden Cloud Village and become a Hidden Cloud person.

And now I have finally returned to the place where I was born, but unfortunately my parents have passed away long ago, and I don’t have many relatives and friends here.

Yakushi Nono is barely one, I don’t know if I can see him this time.

After Fukai in front showed his certificate and registered, several people were allowed to enter the village.

Of course, there must be an Anbu ninja watching secretly.

At the same time, their formation had also changed. Tamura Hao was at the end of the team, like a little follower, and the leader was Yeyue Ai, the son of the Raikage.

"Our people haven't come yet, it may take another day or two, we have to book a hotel first."

Fukai, who was walking forward, said that he had asked the ninja on duty at the gate before to confirm that their team of examinees from the Hidden Cloud Village had not arrived yet.

"Has the entertainment city in Konoha been built? It's too small."

Yeyue Ai looked up at the tallest building in Konoha Village. There was a huge sign on it saying Konoha Entertainment City, which could be seen from a long distance.

Ever since the junior brother handed in the entertainment city plan, the village has been operating in secret. A year ago, entertainment cities were built in all major cities in the Land of Thunder.

I didn't expect that there is one in Konoha now. The efficiency is really high.

But compared to the entertainment city in their Cloud Village, this one is much smaller, even worse than the one in the capital of the Land of Iron.

"That's not it, the one over there is."

Fukai pointed to the huge building being built on the other side. Although it has not been built yet, it is known that it is several times larger than the Konoha Entertainment City just by looking at the area.

Compared to Yeyue Ai, who is devoted to cultivation, he has been exchanging letters with Lord Tutai and knows a lot of information changes.

Especially after Awakening and coming to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exam, he specifically asked for a detailed intelligence report here, which included the information about the entertainment city.

"Konoha has also built an entertainment city. Can they compete with it?"

Yeyue Ai grinned and chuckled. He knew very well that the biggest competitive advantage of the entertainment city was the cost-effectiveness. It minimized all kinds of consumption and waste through various means, and even compressed its own profits.

Compared with the huge size, the money earned was really not much.

If the other party could not restrain their inner greed to raise the price, or make profits by reducing costs and quality, they would eventually be eliminated.

"According to the intelligence, the Konoha Entertainment City was built by several ninja clans."

Fukai also laughed. With more forces participating, the profits would be shared, and the benefits in the hands of each party would be reduced. How could those people be willing to play such a long-term drama?

Of course, the main reason why their entertainment city in the Hidden Cloud Village could start to be built in Konoha was that they signed a tax contract with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

50% of the income will be handed over to the Fire Country Daimyo Mansion. It was established in Konoha with the Daimyo's order. Even if the Third Hokage has an idea, he cannot openly deny and stop it.

The same is true in the Land of Lightning and other countries. They have signed tax contracts with the Daimyo Mansion, and the Daimyo Mansion will provide guarantees and land.

In addition, the explanation given to the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Lightning is to use this to establish a new intelligence network, otherwise the Daimyo Mansion will not pass. The Daimyo Mansion will not allow the ninja village to have an overly independent economic source.

And it is definitely not possible to bring people from the Hidden Cloud Village to establish it here. It is directly recruited from Konoha and the Daimyo Mansion. They only sent a small number of people from the Hidden Cloud Village to lead the operation, otherwise the Daimyo Mansion will definitely not pass.

People are not fools. It is impossible for them to let the Hidden Cloud Village send a large number of people. After all, Konoha is a military organization of the Land of Fire, and Konoha will not agree.

They opened an entertainment city here just to make money and suppress Konoha from making money in a similar way.

There is even a supermarket system inside, which gathers all kinds of goods and uses the means of small profits but quick turnover to suppress prices, thereby squeezing out the shops in Konoha and destroying Konoha's internal economic system to a certain extent.

"Go and see Konoha's entertainment city."

Yeyue Ai walked towards the Konoha entertainment city. As for his own one, it was still under construction and definitely not habitable.

Tamura Hao followed behind like a little transparent person, and soon arrived at Konoha Entertainment City. It was very lively inside, but it was much less popular than the one in the Hidden Cloud Village.

Most of the people coming and going were ninjas wearing vests and wealthy businessmen, and civilians and genin were rarely seen.

"You can tell from this look that the consumption is definitely not low."

Uzumaki Yuye took a look at the layout and the types of guests, and immediately realized that the consumption must not be low, otherwise civilians would have come here long ago.

"Oh!"

Yeyueai and Fukai laughed, knowing it would be like this.

One of the core points of their entertainment city is cost-effectiveness, focusing on small profits but quick turnover, and relying on a huge base to accumulate profits.

Because of this, the entire Yunyin Village people can afford to spend money there and are willing to go there.

Although this approach will be troublesome, it will have beneficial effects on all aspects.

Konoha obviously only focuses on profit income.

"Look for the special food here in Konoha."

Uchiha Hikaru was not interested in paying attention to the operating conditions of Konoha Entertainment City. She wanted to find the special food here.

Several people had the same idea and started wandering around the Konoha Entertainment City. After wandering around for a long time, they felt disappointed.

Although there are many food shops here, most of them are the same as those in Yunyin Village Entertainment City, and they have already eaten there.

And the ones here don't look very authentic, just look and taste don't look right.

The remaining gourmet restaurants mostly serve sushi, tempura, ramen, curry and rice, etc., which are relatively ordinary.

Tamura Hao also lost interest in this. The food culture in the world of Naruto is really average. The only food he is really interested in in Konoha is the legendary Ichiraku Ramen, especially to see if Otsutsuki Ichiraku is is real.

It's a pity that when I was still in Konoha, I walked around Konoha but couldn't find Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant. I don't know if that noodle restaurant has appeared now.

According to the calculation of time, Tendai should be just a teenager now. I don't know whether he started the Ichiraku Ramen by himself or inherited it.

If it's already here, figure out how to come up with a better ramen and crush it.

This change will definitely bring about a wave of destiny power.

"Aren't you satisfied with the food here?"

At this moment, a soft voice came, and several people turned around to see a beautiful woman with red hair. There was a diamond-shaped mark between her eyebrows, and there were two charms hanging from her hair.

Behind him was a blond woman with a fluffy ponytail. Her majestic mind made Tamura Hao couldn't help but take a second look.

"aunt!"

Seeing the person coming, Uzumaki Yuye called aunt with a complicated expression.

The person who came was Uzumaki Mito, the wife of the First Hokage, who came after sensing Uzumaki Tamaba's chakra.

Uzumaki Kushina also had a complicated expression, this was her aunt.

"Aunt Yuye!"

Senju Tsunade also said hello to Uzumaki Tamaba, a cousin she had met several times.

"Tsunade has grown so big? Has she stopped gambling? Has she got a boyfriend? When will she get married?"

Uzumaki Tamaba turned his eyes to Senju Tsunade and asked instinctively. The smile on Tsunade's face froze instantly, and Uzumaki Mito's palms couldn't help but clench.

She has been troubled by this granddaughter for several years, especially in the past few years.

She is already in her twenties, but she doesn't even have a boyfriend. Some girls and children of her age will run away.

"senior!"

After understanding the identity of Uzumaki Mito, Yozuki Ai and Fukai hurriedly saluted and said hello. This was a super boss, currently the strongest person in the ninja world.

"Thank you for helping the Uzumaki clan back then."

Uzumaki Mito nodded kindly to the two of them. Although it was the plan of Kumogakure, they did save the Uzumaki clan, otherwise the Uzumaki clan would have been dead and destroyed by now.

As for the hostile relationship between Cloud Hidden Village and Konoha, he can't control it, nor should he.

"Senior, you can chat and we won't disturb you."

Yeyue Ai saw that Mito Uzumaki had something to say to Yuye and the others, so he walked away knowingly.

Fukai and Tamura Hao quickly followed. Before leaving, Tamura Hao gave Uzumaki Vanilla a look and asked her to stay.

They didn't care what the two sides would talk about, and Uzumaki Mito was also a smart man, and he would definitely not try to win over Uzumaki Tamaki and the others who stayed behind. All they could talk about was some commonplace things.

And at this stage, Uzumaki Mito must be feeling guilty about his parents' family. The effect of leaving Uzumaki Vanilla will be better, and maybe that person will come up with something to compensate.

The Senju family's things will definitely not be touched by the other party, but they will definitely have some knowledge of their own over the years, especially the research on tailed beasts.

Of course, the other party probably won't give me any research on tailed beasts, only some new research on sealing techniques, and that's not bad either.

Uchiha Hikari did not follow. She focused on a young man with a Uchiwa fan logo on his clothes. He should be a member of that family. She happened to go over to see the current detailed information of that family.

"I'll take you to a noodle shop. The ramen there is delicious."

Tsunade took the opportunity to run away, she didn't want to face her cousin again.

"I know a paella restaurant. It was opened by a master from the Kingdom of Whirlpool. Do you want to go over and have some?"

Uzumaki Mito looked at the three juniors lovingly and invited them to a favorite restaurant.

The seafood rice at that restaurant has the taste of hometown.

“It’s been a long time since I had paella!”

Uzumaki Tamaki nodded. Their country of Uzumaki is facing the sea on both sides, and their main food source is various seafood. Paella is a delicacy made of a variety of seafood.

It's just that she hasn't eaten it for a long time since leaving the Land of Whirlpools.

Of course, the main reason is that there are too many kinds of food in the entertainment city of the Hidden Cloud Village, and they are too delicious. She has forgotten the seafood rice she loved before, and even gained ten kilograms in the past two years, which is the result of double training.

Seeing that Uzumaki Yuye agreed, Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Vanilla naturally would not refuse. The three of them followed Uzumaki Mito to a restaurant, where a boy was already waiting.

"Grandma!"

Seeing his grandmother coming in, the boy hurried to meet her, and then his eyes fell on the three red-haired women behind him. After seeing Uzumaki Yuye, he was confused and felt a little familiar.

"Little Rope Tree doesn't recognize me?"

Seeing the boy, Uzumaki Yuye smiled.

She had seen Rope Tree, but at that time Rope Tree was still very young, and even chakra had not been refined.

Although she looked relatively unfamiliar, after all, she had changed too much, but there were not many people who could call their aunt grandma, and coupled with the other party's age, the identity could be confirmed.

"Are you my aunt?"

After hesitating for a moment, Senju Nawaki was not sure.

He didn't see many relatives with red hair, and there was only one female one.

"Little Nawaki is now a ninja."

Looking at the forehead protector on his nephew's head, Uzumaki Tamae was very happy with his growth.

"Sit down!"

Uzumaki Mito gestured to a few people, walked to a nearby table, and then shouted to the back kitchen.

"Boss, give me five servings of seafood rice, big ones."

As a member of the Uzumaki clan, even the women have a big appetite, and small portions are not enough to fill them up.

Uzumaki Tamae took Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Vanilla to sit down. She sat next to her aunt and asked Kushina and Nawaki to sit opposite.

She chatted with Senju Nawaki who was opposite her, and introduced Kushina and Vanilla to Nawaki.

Senju Nawaki was also very curious about these two peers, especially one of them was his cousin.

Uzumaki Mito sat opposite without saying a word, looking at the two girls lovingly.
