Change from the ninja world

Chapter 259: The Era of Two Holy Trees and Two Round Peaks

Originally, the remnants of the ancient Loulan Kingdom were moved by Yu Yuan to a place south of the Country of Fire, and lived a natural and simple nomadic life, living from grass to grass.

Yu Yuan stole the "Dragon Veins" of the ancient Loulan Kingdom. As a price, he provided these survivors with a safe living environment. This was definitely an exchange of equal value.

Objectively speaking, compared to the former Loulan Kingdom, which was filled with yellow sand and lacked water, vegetation and food, the environment here in the Fire Country is simply a dream.

The only fly in the ointment is that compared to the title of "Queen", the title of village chief or clan leader seems a little less grand, but this is not a problem. After all, there are only a few hundred Loulan survivors. A "Queen" rules so many people? Well, as long as you are happy.

However, thanks to the special qualities they developed while growing up in a harsh environment, these Loulan survivors did not lose their vigilance after coming to a comfortable living environment. In order to ensure the safety of the villages, their nomadic range is often very large, so it didn't take long for them to see two huge trees standing under the nameless mountain peak.

This thing can definitely be called a towering tree. There is no doubt that these trees need tens or hundreds of years to grow to such a size, but why can they suddenly appear in just a few days... The last time I came here Not yet, but it appeared this time. Could it be that this tree grows as fast as leeks? The thing in the distance is not a towering tree, but a towering leek?

It happened that Ha Yuan had also told them to pay attention to the situation on the Wuming Mountain, so those who saw the two big trees that suddenly grew quickly reported this matter to their clan leader Sara.

At the "Shadow Leaf Stronghold", Habara certainly didn't know that the strange things they had caused caused panic among the local residents. At this time, he was standing on the sixth floor of the terraced building that Tenzou had just completed, giving a message to people far away in Konoha. Hatake Kakashi is "on the phone".

"...Anyway, Konoha must have this information, and the confidentiality level is definitely not particularly high. Please make a copy and give it to me." After Hahara talked a lot, he finally made some kind of request to Kakashi.

Kakashi was a little helpless. Even though Konoha's current power and responsibilities were somewhat chaotic, Habara's obvious overreach of authority still made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he decided to stall for a while.

"Habara, why do you think Konoha has this information? In theory, the national center is an upper-level organization that overrides the entire Konoha village."

"Cut the nonsense, you said it's just theory. Let me ask you, how does Konoha get its annual funding? It can't just be all about words, right? If there are any additional funding requirements, I don't believe the village won't catch it. A little braid... The Hokage has absolute power, and there are some things that are free of charge, so why not do them?"

Kakashi really wanted to say that we serious ninjas are all very rule-abiding people. Every village and a country is the same and will never interfere with each other. However, he couldn't say these words... There are some things that can be deceived by outsiders. , but you can’t fool your peers.

Within Konoha, there is indeed an investigation report against the Daimyos of the Land of Fire, and this report will be updated in real time. In theory, this kind of thing should not be done, as it is not within the Hokage's authority. Because the Hokage lives under the Daimyo, how can the subordinates secretly investigate the superiors? What do you want to do?
However, the bad thing about it is that it can be done easily. As Hahara said, it is beneficial but not costly, so why not do it.

Kakashi stopped beating around the bush and simply asked, "What do you want this information for?"

"I'll study the political situation of the Fire Nation and see if there are any loopholes that can be exploited."

Habara's words were a bit ambiguous, but Kakashi just speculated according to his own ideas. He felt that Habara probably wanted to deduct some funds from the daimyo to build a new stronghold fund, so he came up with such an idea... …It’s still a little damaged, but it’s not a big problem.

"Wait a moment and I'll help you look for it." Kakashi finally agreed and was ready to do a small favor for Habara.

It can only be said that someone is stuck and still can't see through Habara. Could it be that Habara only does some petty theft? What has he done during this time that is not a big deal?
What Kakashi didn't know was that the help he didn't understand at this moment was actually not a help, but an accomplice.

About an hour later, using Daigo's transmission, Hahara got the information he wanted.

This is a piece of information about the daimyo family of the Land of Fire. The ancestors and descendants are called a family tree, and the lineage kinship is like a household register. After getting this information, Hahara flipped through it, and he instantly felt that the top management of Konoha was really unkind, because this thing was investigated according to the order of daimyo and daimyo's succession.

Each is followed by pages of highly detailed investigative reports that, given the extent of the rot of the ruling class, qualify as law enforcement records.

"There is no good person..."

And just as Hahara guessed, none of these feudal monarchs and their families are good people. Ninety-nine percent of them can just dig a hole and bury them. As for the remaining few, there may be very good characters. Yes, but the environment determines everything. Can being different from others represent lofty aspirations and noble humanity?

There is no way, who makes people hereditary? Some people are born in Rome, and some people are born as mules and horses.

After reading this information, Hahara casually put him aside.

Kakashi thought that Hahara wanted to gain some funds, but he was actually half right. At this time, Habara had already made his decision. At a time when Konoha was in turmoil, it was time to fish in troubled waters.

"Well, let's dig into it."

Habara came down from the rooftop and quickly found Tenzo.

"Tianzang, I have a task for you."

Tianzang seemed to have been trained at this time, and he subconsciously said, "Tell me, what kind of spectacle are you going to build?"

Habara glanced at the boy in surprise, "Tenzo, you are a ninja, not a civil engineer. What are you thinking about?"

Tianzang: "..."

I know I'm a ninja, but don't you know why I became a civil engineer?

"A formal mission? What mission?"

"It's very simple. Go out and help me raise some funds. It doesn't need to be much, just complete a small goal... I need you to raise about 1 million taels."

(Note: 1 tael = 10 yen = 5 cents. This is actually not a small goal, but half a small goal)
"...What did you say? I didn't seem to hear you clearly."

I don't know why, but at this time Tianzang felt that it was more suitable for him to be engaged in civil engineering.

Habara noticed Tenzou's evasiveness, so he explained, "This matter is really not difficult. You bring a ninja team and find a few money exchanges. You only need to take away two or three, and the money should be enough."

"It seems...it's really possible, if you don't care about the consequences."

"There are no consequences, it's just some shameful deeds."

Gold exchanges hidden in various countries are either secretly controlled by the five great ninja villages, or they survive in the cracks under the pressure of the five great ninja villages. They exist because some wandering ninjas and rebellious ninjas have demand for such places, so Ha Yuan said that if this kind of place is closed, it will be closed, and there will be no consequences.

Habara even suspected that the Great Ninja Village kept them just waiting to explode the gold coins. After enough money has been saved in these gold exchanges, the Great Ninja Village will be dispatched once, and then they can only change places to continue saving.

Such a good mobile piggy bank, of course Hahara would use it if he had the chance. "I understand, I'm going to prepare for action."

Tianzang nodded. After realizing what task he was going to perform, he who just now felt that he was more suitable for civil engineering, decisively gave up his construction responsibilities and prepared to go out for a wander... With Tianzang's current strength, With a ninja team, you can basically walk sideways in the Land of Fire, and it will definitely be easy to deal with several gold exchanges.

However, at this time, he also felt that he was just raising construction funds for the new stronghold. Taking the black money into his own hands was a good deed and a good way to clean up money.

Early the next morning, not long after Tenzo's team went out to "execute justice", Hahara received a report that someone was approaching the stronghold. After getting a more detailed description of the outsiders' appearance, Hahara motioned to the ninjas on guard outside to let them in without blocking them.

Needless to say, the person who came was Sarah, and there were two Loulan survivors following her.

They were not blocked, and when Sarah got closer, the first thing she saw were the two extremely exaggerated trees, with a base diameter of ten meters, and the buildings surrounding the big trees made Sarah Ra once again confirmed that these two trees were probably man-made creations, and they had only grown in these two days.

The overall height of these two trees is more than 100 meters. The bottom of a big tree is surrounded by layers of ring-shaped buildings. They are stacked layer by layer, with a total of six floors. The height is the same as that of the rows of buildings further behind. Flush.

Under another tree is a square building. There is a well-hidden corridor connecting the two trees or two buildings. It can be seen that the architecture here has a design concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. ...The only pity is that the people living in the tree are not elegant elves, but ninjas who smell of blood all over their bodies.

Sarah instinctively became very alert until she saw Habara coming out of a building.

…………

Recently in Hahara, there is a feeling that there are endless conspiracies and intrigues, but it is difficult to say whether some plans succeeded or failed, because both results are acceptable, such as...

A busty blonde with twin tails, a young woman with short black hair, and a greasy middle-aged man with white hair who was limping and with a swollen face came to the main entrance of Konoha.

After getting some news, Tsunade finally had to return to Konoha. The paradox is that psychologically, she extremely does not want to return to the village, but in terms of action, she seems to be riding a rocket back to Konoha as fast as possible.

Well, although Habara's plan is very bad, strictly speaking it is a conspiracy and not a conspiracy. Whether Tsunade comes back or not, the result is acceptable.

But Tsunade still returned to Konoha, in order to prevent her reputation from being abused, and to take on responsibilities or infamy that did not belong to her...such as any high-pressure rule, "Blood Leaf Village" and the like that Konoha will enact in the future. If anything, she must be the one who bears the infamy and not anyone else, because she is nominally the fifth generation Hokage.

And because she is taking advantage of other people's reputations, Tsunade suspects that some people will become more and more unscrupulous in their actions. After all, what is overdrawn is other people's reputation and what is destroyed is other people's reputation. Is there anything to be stingy about?

Tsunade has lived with the first and second generations since she was a child. Some things are commonplace to her. She can also understand how ugly a person can become for power and status, so she never hesitates to use the most sinister thoughts to speculate on a political figure. In her heart... it was for these reasons that she had to return to Konoha.

After all, she just had a lot of bad impressions and opinions about Konoha. The death of her lover and brother was an eternal pain in her heart, so she showed a numb and indifferent attitude, but this did not mean that She really doesn't care about Konoha at all... To put it superficially, she is actually a bit arrogant when it comes to becoming Hokage.

Now, someone is telling her with practical actions that Tsundere has long since withdrawn from the environment, and if she wants to come back, she has to be real.

Tsunade walked into the gate of Konoha with Shizune Kato and Jiraiya, and then left her name at the village registration desk at the door.

Then, the entire Konoha immediately became a sensation.

Before Tsunade took a few steps into the village, a scene of welcome was immediately staged around her. Whether they were ninjas or civilians, after seeing her, their attitudes were enthusiastic and warm, and some people even shed tears. Eyes filled with tears.

This is not hypocritical, but some people who are insecure. They have been feeling empty and helpless since the death of the Third Hokage. Now that they have truly seen Tsunade, they can feel relieved.

To roughly describe their emotions, it should be...

When the county magistrate comes, there will be peace in Echeng. When the county magistrate comes, there will be blue sky!
What made Tsunade even more secretly annoyed was that almost everyone around her was calling her the "Fifth Hokage", which put her emotions on the verge of exploding again.

Jiraiya and Shizune, who were following her, had their eyelids twitching with fear. They were afraid that Tsunade would suddenly lose her temper at this time.

But this worry is unnecessary. When facing the public, Tsunade knows what it means to be dignified, and no one can show this kind of dignity better than her.

To be honest, there are always some people who make others feel ashamed just by standing there. For example, Tsunade, who has a good family background, strong strength, and high prestige, forget about these, and she is actually good-looking.

It doesn’t matter that she’s good-looking, but she actually has a great figure... But she can’t dwell on her age. If she does, she’s not that perfect.

In short, in this situation, no one should have any rebellious thoughts of "milfs, just showing off."

After walking past the crowd of people coming to see her off, entering the Hokage's office building, and then entering a conference room and closing the door, Tsunade's expression immediately changed.

With a frosty look on her face, she began to slap the table: "Tell me, why did you decide that I would be the next Hokage without my permission? Whose idea was it?"

The smiles on the faces of the middle and high-level leaders of Konoha who were present immediately froze on their faces. Some people didn't understand what happened at all. After all, only a few people knew Habara's idea... Jiraiya didn't even know. Don't talk about other people.

As a result, everyone was silent about Tsunade's princess temper.

No matter how good the soundproofing in the conference room was, it could not stop Tsunade's outburst, so the crowd on the street who had not dispersed heard some movement.

Some people were stunned for a moment, and then immediately said with a smile, "The senior officials in the village are so enthusiastic. They are all trying to clap their hands to welcome Tsunade-sama."

"Yeah, yeah, how can you show your emotions without using any force."

"Yes, are your hands swollen?"

"Is the pat swollen? Isn't it a broken pat?"

"Yeah, broken bones are better, broken bones are better."

"..."

So, the melon-eating audience will always be the melon-eating audience, and this is the same virtue.
