The Rise of the Namikaze Clan in Konoha

Konoha, Naruto Building.

"Danzo, you have become more and more mysterious these days."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was lazily lying on his swivel chair with a cigarette in his mouth.

Although there are more and more conflicts in the northwest, war is brewing that may break out at any time.

But there is something soothing and comforting about being alone with old friends.

But this peace of mind and comfort seemed to be disappearing little by little.

Since the incident in the Country of Whirlpool, this old friend has become more and more prejudiced against him.

Seeing the still silent face of the man in front of him whose right arm was covered with bandages, Sarutobi stepped forward and patted his shoulder.

"There are things we have to make choices about..."

"But I want them all!"

"This is impossible. After Teacher Tobirama's death, Konoha no longer has the ability to face the forces of five countries on two battlefields at the same time..."

After a brief silence, Danzo sighed, seemingly convinced.

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed very happy to see that his old friend had figured it out.

He took out a stack of documents and said, "Let's read some good news. Facing the upcoming war, the daimyo has allocated war funds to us in advance."

Danzo picked up the document, looked at it briefly, and sneered: "Haha, Tsunade's uncle is very generous!"

"After all, he took over the position of Daimyo not long ago, so he urgently needs a victory in the war to consolidate his position."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of dry smoke and blew out a smoke ring in the air.

Since becoming Hokage, I have had to learn to look at everything from a political perspective.

Danzo nodded, agreeing with Hiruzen's statement.

In the final analysis of war, in addition to super shadow-level nuclear combat power, the competition is about comprehensive strength.

In addition to the excellence of Konoha ninjas, the strength of Konoha is also inseparable from the prosperity of the Land of Fire.

The list of supplies in Danzo's hand would make Samana cry, and Rasa would want to hit someone after looking at it.

But Danzo frowned when he looked at the figures on the funds: "Monkey, how should we use such a large sum of money?

I mean, if it is used in addition to developing troops, my ANBU training department..."

Danzo wanted to say the rest before his roots could be fully covered.

But the money was too much, so much that even his budding Ninja Darkness was embarrassed to swallow it all.

After all, the so-called "roots" currently only exist in the form of the ANBU training department.

Although Danzo has achieved complete control over the root, there is still a big difference between him and the complete root that will completely break away from the ANBU and become a tail that cannot be lost.

"Xiaochun's medical department and Menyan's financial department are also eyeing this money, not to mention the various combat units."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with some embarrassment: "Although the war in the Land of Rain is inevitable, according to the feedback from the combat troops preparing for the war on the front line, our current strategic material reserves such as ninja swords, kunai, shurikens, and ninja armor are still serious. insufficient.

Although we currently have funds, we simply cannot purchase enough goods on the market, causing material prices to skyrocket. so……"

"So what?"

"So I plan to support the village and the craftsmen around the village so that they can expand production."

After taking the last puff of dry cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed his thoughts with a serious expression.

……

As a new immigrant to Konoha, Hatsuko found that his situation was not that bad.

He was assigned a small one-bedroom apartment with very cheap monthly rent.

This is probably inseparable from the high mortality rate of Konoha ninjas.

At least the reason why Chusheng was able to be assigned this small apartment was because the previous owner of this apartment died during the mission half a year ago.

Fortunately, the Konoha on the eve of the Second Ninja War is not the Konoha in the future that needs Sakura to work to pay off the mortgage.

Although the housing problem has been temporarily solved, Chusheng still faces many new problems.

The first thing to deal with is the problem of taking care of little Minato.

Little Minato was still a baby and was found by Konoha's ninja team together with the bodies of his newborn brother and sister-in-law.

He was originally going to be sent to an orphanage to be raised, but now that his uncle's newborn has been resurrected, he naturally gained custody of the child.

Although I have little experience in taking care of children, luckily there are many parenting videos on the amazing Internet.

He tied little Minato into a beautiful twin tail and left the house to go out to work.

For a period of time after recovering from the illness, Chusheng had been living as a part-time job.

My current job is to help an izakaya take care of business.

Many times, freshmen will learn a few jokes from the Internet that match the situation, perform them in izakayas, and get a certain amount of tips.

……

Two months later, in the evening, the newborn, who had to rush home to feed Minato, finished his day's work on time.

However, today Chusheng proposed his resignation to the owner and his wife of the izakaya and thanked them for their care during this time.

"Junior Chusheng, are you still dissatisfied with my 'praise'? If that's the reason, I can continue to work hard!"

Another young man named Shimura Yuichi who also works here is very reluctant to leave Chusheng.

During this time, he performed under the stage name Yuken Shimura with Tokusuna Hatsuki.

Although he didn't understand why this young man with a striking surname was reduced to the same working life as himself, Chusheng still enjoyed working with him very much.

Compared to himself who only performs to support his children, Yuichi Shimura is a true people's artist.

The freshman smiled and shook his head and said to him, "No, I just found a new career."

As he spoke, Chusheng took out a mine purchase contract from his arms, which was stamped with the bright red seal of Konoha's Finance Department.

"No way, how could you have so much money!"

Shimura Yuichi's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Every time I go to eat ramen, it's my treat!"

"Yeah, yeah, that little brand ramen shop will go bankrupt sooner or later. Then I'll treat you to the most authentic Otsutsuki tonkotsu ramen." Chusheng waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Otsutsuki tonkotsu noodles? What is that?"

Shimura Yuichi was stunned for a moment, then got down to business: "The point isn't that, it's why you have the money to contract a mine!"

"It's a very cheap suburban mine..."

"That's a lot of money!"

"Well, you know I also have a part-time job at the Human Brain Research Center of Konoha Medical Department..."

"Oh, I've heard that you are being studied there. Is it so profitable to be studied?"

"Ahem...that's not the case...the person in charge of this project is...Tsunade-sama..."
