The Rise of the Namikaze Clan in Konoha

"By the way, how are the preparations for the standard ninja tools adapted to the battlefield environment?" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked.

Mito Kadoen, who is in charge of military supplies, frowned and said: "It's not ideal. Since the fall of the Uzumaki Country, the sea route to the east has not been smooth. Several of our orders in the Takumi Country have been attacked by pirates."

"Hmph, what pirates? It's clearly an attack by the Mist Ninjas!" Koharu slapped the table before going to bed and said with a displeased look on his face, "Can't we Konoha even have an escort fleet?"

Danzo and Hiruzen rolled their eyes at her in unison, and even Mito Kadoyan explained with an awkward smile: "Koharu, since the death of the second generation, our shipbuilding ability in Konoha has shrunk, otherwise we wouldn't sit back and watch the whirlpool. The country has fallen...

In short, it would be too much of a disadvantage to fight against the mist ninja at sea. I have to find other ways to supply ninja tools..."

Everyone fell silent after hearing Mito Kadoyan's words.

There are only a few nearby countries that are good at forging. If you can't buy ninja tools from the Country of Craftsmen, you probably have to go north to the Country of Iron to buy them.

The Kingdom of Iron is a country of samurai, and it is not very friendly to ninjas...

Suddenly, when everyone was at a loss what to do, a fat figure stopped taking snacks.

Akimichi Tifeng, who had been busy at the meeting for thousands of years, suddenly raised his head and said uncertainly: "Speaking of ninja tools... I seem to have seen someone selling them in large quantities in the market..."

……

The ninja was very efficient in doing things. After a while, the relevant information was placed in front of the five old stars of Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the report and read it at a glance, then frowned slightly.

Things were good, but a little out of control.

Mito Kadoyan also read the report and said in surprise: "In just half a month, we produced ninja tools that can equip three brigades. When did we have such a large-scale arsenal around Konoha?"

Koharu, who went to bed, knew nothing about equipment supply, but she also instinctively felt that something was wrong: "What is this Namikaze Consortium about? I have never heard of it. Is it a wealthy businessman from Daming Palace?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a very good memory. He lit another pack of cigarettes for himself and said, "I remember this last name. It seems to be the orphan of a village that was affected by ninjas from other villages during a previous mission, right? I didn't expect it to happen. Such a huge momentum.”

"They're not orphans, they're an uncle and nephew."

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Danzo Shimura put down the document.

He seemed to have known about the Namikaze clan for a long time, "The first generation of Namikaze and his nephew Minato Namikaze are the last survivors of this family, but they still have some followers, well, they are not ninjas, they are mostly craftsmen, and They all came one after another.”

Ever since he met Chusheng and Xianyu by chance in the forest, Danzo, who felt guilty, asked someone to investigate Chusheng.

Chusheng's original village was very remote and had been razed long ago. A simple investigation did not collect many clues.

But what we can generally know is that the village is very old, but there are no ninjas in the village, and there are no ambitious guys.

Originally, the secret agent at the root wanted to ask Danzo whether to intensify the investigation, but after Danzo ruled out the possibility that the Namikaze family was an enemy spy, he was unwilling to waste manpower.

After all, from Danzo's perspective, Namikaze is a foreigner who loves Konoha deeply, has a very reliable character, and even saved his life.

After Danzo briefly introduced the Namikaze clan, he changed the topic and concluded: "In short, the Namikaze family has joined Konoha and is a part of this village. What's more, the credibility of the Hatake family is well known. As long as there is no problem with the quality of the ninja tools, we have no reason to obstruct this trade."

……

The first floor of the Hokage Building, the command center.

As an excellent ANBU, Sakumo had already received the order from the summit and immediately ended his vacation and set off to report to Konoha's frontline headquarters.

Here at the command center, Sakumo is waiting to receive his team's number.

Suddenly, all the waiting elite jounin, including Sakumo, stood at attention and saluted towards the stairs.

Sarutobi Hiruzen led the way, wearing a majestic Hokage robe, and slowly walked down the stairs, followed by four Konoha elders, with vigorous steps and majestic expressions.

At this time when people need to be reassured, the spiritual outlook of the leader is crucial.

Even Danzo used a special medicine with strong side effects at this time to temporarily seal the injuries all over his body and was unwilling to show even a trace of his illness.

When passing by the elite jounin, Danzo suddenly paused, gave Sakumo a friendly smile, and then strode away.

He had heard of Konoha White Fang, and when he took a closer look today, he found that although he was still very young, he did have a sophisticated temperament.

Aicai was delighted, and Danzo smiled to show encouragement.

But this smile became meaningful in Sakumo's eyes.

He felt a chill in his heart, knowing that this must be because of the ninja tool business.

As expected, the person standing behind the Namikaze family was Elder Shimura. It seemed that he had really found the right path.

……

Due to physical reasons, Danzo did not participate in the mobilization meeting throughout.

As we all know, Sarutobi Hiruzen's chicken soup speech was so stinky and long that Danzo would not bother to finish it even if he was not injured.

Making an excuse midway, Danzo put on makeup and left the crowd, preparing to go home and rest early.

When passing by Central Street, Danzo looked at a renovated small building with a complicated expression.

This is a shop that his nephew Shimura Yuichi has always wanted to acquire. He wants to build a teahouse called "Deyunshe" here.

But it seems that Yuichi's wish has come true. This small building obviously has a new owner and has started to renovate it.

Danzo walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

The effect of the medicine gradually faded away, and the strong side effects made his face gradually turn pale, and fine beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

Finally, he supported himself and walked to his house at 1-chome 6.

"This is?"

Danzo frowned and bent down with difficulty to pick up the package in front of the door.

"Yuichi-san, this is a native product of my hometown. It has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones. I hope you like it. - Your best friend, Namikaze Minato."

After looking at the card on the package, Danzo walked into the house carrying the package.
