Konoha's New Third Hokage

In early March of the 15th year of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tofu Akimichi led their troops to engage in a large-scale battle with the enemy in the Iwagakure ninja village. After a fierce battle, the regular army of the Kingdom of Water was defeated and fled. Fortunately, they got to the Kirigakure ninja village. With all-out cover, they were not completely wiped out, but even so, the Kingdom of Water did not have the strength to continue fighting.As a result, the Kingdom of Water began to negotiate a peace with the Kingdom of Earth. While the agreement was being finalized, the armies of both sides retreated. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Akimichi Kaifeng reorganized the border defense, and after confirming that they no longer needed to wait for others to watch, they set off. Return to Konoha Ninja Village.After knowing that everyone else had returned to Konoha Ninja Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Akimichi quickly arrived at Konoha Ninja Village. During the handover of troops, Sarutobi Hiruzen's friend Shimura Danzo came over. meet. "Long time no see, Danzo." Sarutobi Hiruzen greeted happily, "What happened in the village recently? It looks a little different." Shimura Danzo gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a strange look. He said unceremoniously: "Did you lose your head after staying on the battlefield? Didn't you receive the message from the teacher? It said that because too many civilians have flowed into the village, if the Ninja clan has land they don't need, It can be provided, and because of the placement of civilians, the positions of all ninja clan will be changed. I remember you promised." How to deal with a large number of civilians is the first thing in Konoha Ninja Village. If they are not properly placed Well, the village cannot be stabilized. It can be easily resettled due to emergency measures during the war, but not after it ends.The result of everyone's discussion was to let the Ninja clan provide excess land. Because of the war, the Ninja clan, which had lost a large number of people, no longer had the power to control all the original land.Although they can continue to control it when the population increases again in the future, under the current situation, Tobirama has set an example and contributed to the unclaimed land of the Hatsusenju family, and other ninjas must take a stand.Those weak ninja clan just give away the land directly, while families like Uchiha, Hinata, Sarutobi, and Shimura will choose to hire civilians to farm for their families, so that they can free up the tasks that their own families need to do on weekdays. , put more energy into practice, and the only big family that really gave away all the land was the Senju family.After all this calculation, the big clan’s land has not actually been lost, and their resistance is not that heavy. As for the small ninja clan who directly gave away the land, who would care about them? They don’t have any strong power, and they themselves Although they were heartbroken to be unable to control the land, they accepted their fate when the village offered compensation.However, although the big clan has not shaken its foundation, their status has begun to slowly decline. The ninja clan will only be an important force in the village, not its basic base.The tragedy of the first ninja battle slowly washed away the legacy left over from the Warring States Period, and the ninja village system established by Senju Hashirama was consolidated. Anyone who has participated in this war knows that the power of one clan alone You can't live in the ninja world on your own. Only by being around the village can you be strong enough.Perhaps because of this, the big clans will begin to compromise. The degree of compromise now is not enough, but it will become bigger and bigger in the future until Hashirama's ideal is realized. However, there will definitely be a cruel and troublesome process. What will be the result? So, no one can tell. "Yes, you don't know how difficult those people in Kirigakure Ninja Village are. They made me so anxious that I almost forgot about it." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and touched the back of his head.The two walked towards the village. Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the civilians on the road and marveled. Tobirama's arrangement was centered on civilians, so the civilian living areas were close to the center of the village, while the ninjas were positioned like guards. Generally surrounded.For the ninja clan, this arrangement is not bad. They are not close to the lively areas of the village, so 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 a lot of people entering the ninja school." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.The Ninja School had previously issued a notice to recruit civilians, but due to the lack of civilians and hesitation in their hearts, not many people chose to enter the Ninja School. But now that there are so many civilians, there will definitely be no shortage of people entering the school. "Well, in fact, a group of children have already been arranged, but that's because they are all orphans." Shimura Danzo said.The war damages not only the sergeants, but also the civilians who are involved. Even if the Konoha Ninja Village does not intend to harm the people, the fierce war will still affect them, and among them there will be some people who have lost their parents, and they have no Instead of finding other ways to make a living, it is better to send them directly to become ninjas. If such orphans are well trained, they will be very loyal to the village. "Orphans? Needless to say when they enter the ninja school, where should they live? They will not be given land and let them farm by themselves." Hiruzen Sarutobi 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 is really working hard." "That's right, I don't know who will be the third generation." At this point, the two of them were silent. All the disciples of Tobirama should hope that they can inherit the position of their teacher. Hiruzen Sarutobi and The same is true for Danzo Shimura. It should be said that they, who have been friends since childhood, are also competitors, and they both hope they can defeat the other. "By the way, what have you been doing lately?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, breaking the silence. "I am taking the ANBU to search for some possible spies in the country and collect intelligence. Jing is managing the security force. Koharu is trying to set up a medical department, which is where medical ninjas work. As for Yan and Zhenghui, they I am writing textbooks for ninja schools." "What?" Hiruzen Sarutobi doubted his ears. "Masaki is writing textbooks." Shimura Danzo nodded and said, "I was just like you at the beginning. This guy obviously has that kind of strength, so how to write textbooks should be left to Yan alone, alas." As he said this, he shook his head, as if he felt it was not worth it.Sarutobi Hiruzen groaned. In his eyes, Fengmori Masaki had always been a wonderful person. Sometimes he would say some amazing words. Moreover, Fengmori Masaki, who was born as a young 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, his wind escape is so powerful that he can defeat all kinds of magic with one force. Especially in physical skills, he can almost be said to be invincible in close combat.Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that he is also the person who may succeed Hokage, but because Sarutobi Hiruzen cares more about Shimura Danzo, he is not as competitive with Fengmori Masaki, but he still cares. "Why did he choose this?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked. "I don't know. He said he wanted to take a rest. Well, Satomi is also pregnant. It's okay if he wants to stay with his wife." Before Shimura Danzo could finish speaking, he was shocked by Sarutobi Hiruzen's scream. interrupt. "Why is Satomi pregnant?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked incredulous. "What a fuss." Shimura Danzo rolled his eyes, "Probably because of the pressure from the war, everyone has been immersed in the gentle land since they came back. There are more and more people getting pregnant these days. It's just catching up with childbirth. Peak." "Damn it, it's all because I stayed on the battlefield." Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed his hair hard, "Well, let me ask first, are you too?" "What are you thinking? I'm the kind of person who misses the home front. Human?" "I think so." Sarutobi Hiruzen silently felt sorry for Shimura Danzo's wife, and then sighed, "Looks like I have to work hard, I want to have children."
