I have no money to repay the mortgage, so I have to be Hokage

Fire Country, Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

One day later, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others returned to Konoha Village without any danger. In fact, there were several elite teams pursuing them on the road. I don't know if they were sent by rebel ninjas or Kumogakure. Among them were many veteran jounin, but there was no trace of them. Without exception, they were all killed by Shangyuan's sword.

The battle ended too quickly, and the shadow clone of Shangyuanfen followed everyone on their way, while the main body quietly took action after everyone was far away.

So no one noticed.

Shangyuan's purpose is also here. He doesn't want others to know his current strength. He just wants to carry out his B-level tasks safely. If his strength is exposed, I am afraid that difficult tasks will soon follow.

Maybe a monster suddenly pops up in a mission, and he will die as a result.

He now has a house left by the second generation. Although it is impossible to sell it, he is not so heartless.

But even so, except for food, clothing and replenishing ninja tools, there are usually no other expenses. The only thing left is to slowly save money and buy a house in the capital of the Land of Fire, so that you can spend this time safely. lifetime.

As for staying in Konoha?

Haha, he doesn't want to feel the pain after retirement.

Three days later, with the support of the Second Hokage who arrived early and the forces left behind by the Second Hokage, and finally against all objections, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood on the top of the building, looking at the endless villagers below, feeling a bit depressed. Amidst the cheers, he put on the hat engraved with the will of fire and became the acting Hokage.

The current Konoha has just been established no more than 20 years ago, and the first and second generation Hokages have passed away one after another. It is a time when the foundation is insufficient and the situation is in depression. All the forces within Konoha also understand the principle of prosperity and loss, and No one started to cause trouble.

Shangyuan stood in the shadow of the corner, silently watching Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was wearing a Hokage hat and a resolute expression on the roof. He understood that the end of the Warring States Period was completely over, and that Konoha would usher in an extremely long period of three generations. The Age of Naruto.

……

A week later.

The news that the Second Hokage was killed in battle has been completely confirmed. The body is in the hands of Kumogakure at the moment. Naturally, the news came from Kumogakure. The purpose is self-evident.

The other party asked for a large amount of resources in exchange for the remains of the Second Hokage.

The villagers' previous illusion that the Second Hokage was just seriously injured and unable to come back temporarily disappeared.

There were sounds of sadness in the village, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

The original Qianshou clan land.

Because Senju Tobirama had previously disbanded the Senju clan a few years ago in order to implement his elder brother's ideas and promote the formation of the village instead of the Senju family being the dominant one, and moved the clan members to various parts of the village, and the original Senju clan Naturally, the Hand Clan no longer exists.

In the home of the former Senju Clan leader.

"Milk, grandma..." A blond loli burst into tears, her eyes swollen from crying, "Second Grandpa... Second Grandpa, he"

"Tsunade, the second grandfather died for the village. He is the hero of the village. Moreover, this is also a ninja..."

"The best place to stay."

A beautiful woman with red hair, a diamond-shaped mark between her eyebrows, a noble and graceful temperament, rubbed the blonde Loli's hair and comforted her softly.

As he spoke, Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but look at the table beside him. A blue scroll lay quietly on it. This was Senju Tobirama's last relic.

She looked at the scroll as blue as the sea and was speechless for a long time. Finally, with a sigh, she put away the scroll and stood up and walked towards Tobirama's home.

"Azi, please look after Tsunade, I have something to go out for."

Senju Tobirama's home.

The layout of Senju Tobirama's home is a very classic Kazu residence, with a courtyard that has not been taken care of for a long time, showing a dilapidated scenery. There is only one old tree that has been well taken care of. Even though it has entered autumn, it is still Most of the green is swaying.

"I heard Old Baimao mention that this tree was planted by Old Baimao and his brothers before, and then transplanted here."

Shangyuan lay casually in front of the door, staring at the old tree in a daze, unable to regain his consciousness for a long time.

……

"Old Baimao, you water so much every day, this tree will be waterlogged to death." Shangyuan sat on the corridor, his legs dangling, and rolled his eyes at Tobirama.

"...Yes, is it?"

"Yes!"

"Stay out of your business, sir!" Senshou Tobirama suddenly came over with a sudden tremor, and at the same time he put down the bucket in his hand.

"Smelly uncle!!"

……

Over the years, although Shangyuan looked indifferent, he always took good care of this old tree while Qianju Feijian was busy with official duties.

Because he knew that this was Old Baimao's most precious treasure besides the village...

"Shangyuan."

A familiar shout outside the door brought Shangyuan back to reality from the flood of memories.

"Aunt Mito!" Shangyuan quickly stood up and welcomed the arriving Uzumaki Mito into his home.

Because he was adopted by Senju Tobirama, he has some interactions with Senju Hashirama, Uzumaki Mito, and even Uchiha Madara.

"The arrival of Uzumaki Mito at this time is probably related to Old Shirogane. Does he want to take back the property that belongs to the Senju clan?"

It’s no wonder that Shangyuan thinks so. In the final analysis, Shangyuan is an outsider after all. In current Konoha, because the clan system of the Warring States Period has just ended, people attach great importance to clans, which is completely unmatched by later generations.

In the 17 years since he traveled here, even though he was a child adopted by Senju Tobirama, because he did not have the bloodline of Senju, he suffered a lot of troubles overtly and covertly.

I am afraid that only Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, as well as Senju Tobirama who was influenced by his elder brother, have jumped out of the limitations of this era.

Shangyuan skillfully dug out the tea leaves at home, boiled a pot of water, made a simple pot of tea, poured a cup and handed it to Uzumaki Mito.

Uzumaki Mito knelt down at the table dignifiedly, took the tea handed to him by Shangyuan, took a sip, and shook his head with a smile.

This kid's tea-making skills are still so poor.

Shangyuan sat casually across from Uzumaki Mito.

For a long time, neither of them spoke, and finally Uzumaki Mito was the first to speak and break the silence.

"You are still sitting like this..."

"got used to."

It has been 17 years, and he has become accustomed to many things, but for some reason he can't get used to this kneeling.

Taking another sip of tea, Uzumaki Mito sighed, got straight to the point, took out a scroll, placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it in front of Shangyuan.

"This is what Tobirama left for you."

……

Naruto Building, Naruto Office.

"Dong Dong!" There was a knock on the door. After Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed, a man with a black pineapple head and a jounin vest walked in.

"Excuse me, Hokage-sama!"

"Shikana, it's just the two of us, there's no need to be so formal." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a wry smile.

The man in front of him is named Nara Shikuna. He has been a friend of Hiruzen Sarutobi for many years, and he is also likely to be the next leader of the Nara clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has been transferred to assist the Hokage in the past few days. After all, it is well known that although most of the guys from the Nara clan are lazy, they have extremely high IQs and can be said to be good secretaries.

It was also with the assistance of Nara Shikuna that Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to handle the village's affairs in an orderly manner in just a few days.

"Subordinates should behave like subordinates." Lu Nai placed a pile of documents in his hand in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and said with a straight face, "And don't think that you can be lazy just by getting close. , due to the change of Hokage recently, in addition to internal affairs, there are also many external affairs, all of which need to be handled by Hokage-sama."

Seeing that Nara Shikuna didn't buy it, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to put away his emotions, rubbed his temples, and picked up documents one after another.

"Old-fashioned guy." Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered.
