Konoha's New Third Hokage

Chapter 123 15 Years of Konoha
At the beginning of March in the 15th year of Konoha, Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Torukaze Akimichi led the troops to engage in a large-scale battle with the Ninja Village of Iwagakure. With full cover, they were not completely destroyed just now, but even so, the kingdom of water did not have the strength to continue fighting.

Thus, the land of water began to negotiate peace with the land of earth. To be finalized, the armies of both sides withdrew. Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Takakaze Akimichi rearranged the border defenses, making sure that they no longer need to wait for others to watch, and set off Return to Konoha Ninja Village.

Knowing that everyone else has returned to Konoha Ninja Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Akimichi returned to Konoha Ninja Village as soon as possible. When the troops were handed over, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s friend Shimura Danzo came over meet.

"Long time no see, Danzo." Hiruzaru Sarutobi greeted happily, "Did something happen in the village recently? It feels a little different."

Shimura Danzo gave Hiruzaru Sarutobi a strange look, and said unceremoniously: "Did you stay on the battlefield so hard that your head was broken? Didn't you receive the message from the teacher? Said that because of the influx in the village There are too many civilians, if the ninjas have land they don’t need, they can provide it, and because of the resettlement of civilians, the positions of all the ninjas will be exchanged, I remember you should have promised.”

How to deal with a large number of civilians is the first thing for Konoha Ninja Village. If they are not properly resettled, the village will not be able to stabilize. During the war, emergency measures can be easily resettled, but it will not work when it is over.

The result of everyone's discussion is to let the ninja provide extra land. Because of the war, the ninja who lost a large population no longer have the power to control all the original land.Although the population can continue to be mastered when the population increases again in the future, but in the current situation, Tomona has set an example to contribute to the unclaimed land of the Hatsusenju family, and other ninjas must express their views.

Those ninjas who are not strong just give away the land directly, and families like Uchiha, Hyuga, Sarutobi, and Shimura will choose to hire civilians to farm for themselves, so that they can liberate what they need to do on weekdays , and put more energy into cultivation, the only big family that really gave up their land is the Qianshou family.

Calculated in this way, the big clan's land is not actually lost, and their resistance is not so heavy. As for those small ninjas who directly give the land... who cares about them?They don't have any strong power, and they are unable to control the land themselves. Although it hurts to give it out, they will accept their fate when the village compensates them.

However, although the great clan did not shake their foundation, their status has begun to decline slowly. The ninja clan will only be an important force in the village, not its basic base.

The tragedy of the first Ninja World War slowly washed away the customs left over from the Warring States period, and the Ninja Village system established by Senjujuma was consolidated. Anyone who participated in this war knows that relying on one clan alone It is impossible to survive in the ninja world by self-reliance. Only by surrounding the village can you have enough strength.

Perhaps it is because of this that the big clan began to compromise. The current level of compromise is not enough, but it will become bigger and bigger in the future until the ideal of Hashirama is realized. However, it will definitely go through a cruel and troublesome process. What will happen in the end? Like, no one can tell.

"Yes, yes! You don't know how difficult those people in Kirigakure Ninja Village are, they made me so anxious that I almost forgot." Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled and patted the back of his head.

The two walked to the village, Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at the civilians on the road, and he was amazed, the arrangement of the gate was centered on the civilians, so the civilian living areas were close to the center of the village, and the ninjas were positioned like guards Generally surrounded.For ninjas, this arrangement is also good, not close to the lively area of ​​the village, they can concentrate on practicing their own ninjutsu, and it can also ensure the mystery of the family.

"With so many people, there should be quite a few people entering the ninja school." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

The ninja school issued a notice to recruit civilians before, but because of the lack of civilians and hesitation in their hearts, not many people chose to enter the ninja school, but now there are so many civilians, there must be no fewer people entering the school.

"Well, in fact, a group of children have been arranged, but that's because they are all orphans." Shimura Danzo said.

The war not only hurts the sergeants, but also the civilians involved. Even if Konoha Ninja Village does not intend to harm the people, the fierce war will still affect them, and some of them will lose their parents. Instead of finding other ways to make a living, it is better to send them directly to be ninjas. If such orphans are properly cultivated, their loyalty to the village will be very high.

"Orphans? It doesn't matter if they enter the ninja school, where should they live, and they won't be given land, let them farm by themselves?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"Of course not, so the village has to support them. For this reason, the teacher has to discuss with the daimyo to allocate more funds." Shimura Danzo shrugged.

"Hokage really worked hard."

"That is, I don't know who will be the third generation."

Speaking of this, the two were a little silent. All the disciples in Tobima should hope that they can inherit the position of the teacher. The same is true for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo. It should be said that they have been friends since childhood and they are also competitors. You can beat your opponent.

"By the way, what have you been doing lately?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, breaking the silence.

"I took Anbu to search for some possible spies in the country and collect intelligence. Kagami was managing the security team. Xiaochun was trying to form a medical department—ah, the place where medical ninjas work—as for Yan and Masaki and the others are writing the teaching materials for the ninja school."

"What?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi doubted his ears, "Is Masaki writing textbooks?"

Shimura Danzo nodded, and said, "I was the same as you at the beginning. This guy obviously has that kind of strength. How to do such things as compiling textbooks should be left to Yan alone, alas." , shook his head, as if he felt that it was not worth it.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi groaned. In his eyes, Masaki Kazemori has always been a very strange person, and sometimes he would say some amazing words. Moreover, Masaki Kazemori, who was born as a ninja, after that accident He has advanced by leaps and bounds, and his strength is completely close to his own. Although he is not as rich in ninjutsu as he has mastered, Feng Dun is so powerful that he can almost break through ten thousand spells with one force, especially physical skills, which can be said to be almost invincible in melee combat.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi thinks that he is also a person who may inherit Hokage, but because Hiruzaru Sarutobi cares more about Danzo Shimura, he is not so competitive with Masaki Kazemori, but he cares the same.

"Why did he choose this?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"I don't know, he said he wanted to take a break, well, Satomi is also pregnant, it's okay if he wants to be with his wife..." Before Shimura Danzo could finish his sentence, Hiruzaru Sarutobi screamed The sound was interrupted.

"What! Satomi is pregnant?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi had an incredulous expression on his face.

"What a big fuss." Shimura Danzo rolled his eyes, "Probably because of the pressure of the war, everyone is a little immersed in the gentleness after returning. These days, more and more people are pregnant, and they are just catching up with the birth. peak."

"Damn it! It's all because I stayed on the battlefield." Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed his hair vigorously, "Huh? Let me ask first, will you also..."

"What are you thinking? Do I look like the kind of person who misses the back?"

"I think so." Hiruzaru Sarutobi felt sorry for Shimura Danzo's wife silently in his heart, and then sighed, "It seems that I have to work hard, I want to have children!"
