Naruto's strongest force

Leaf Village.

Ninjas from each village have arrived one after another.

Including many caravans, they did not want to give up this opportunity.

Come to Konoha with novelties from various countries and trade them.

Big caravans, small retail investors.

Ninjas and tourists from all over the world flocked to Konoha.

The surge in personnel has doubled the pressure on Konoha's security forces.

Konoha is in a situation where the Hyuga clan is short of personnel.

All the Hyuga personnel patrolling outside the village had to be transferred to the village.

Prioritize the safety of the village.

As for the outside of the village, they were all replaced by members of the Sarutobi family, patrolling like a carpet.

There are not many others in the Sarutobi clan, but there are many people.

There were 500 people at the beginning, but after Tsune Sarutobi became the advisor elder.

Orochimaru asked the Sarutobi clan to bring back more people because of the safety issues in the Chunin exam.

In the past two months, Sarutobi has been coming back one after another.

For this group of people who came back, the ratio of genin to chunin was almost 2 to 1:[-], and their strength was gradually improving.

The number of people is also about five hundred.

In other words, the number of ninjas returned from the Sarutobi clan is already more than 1000.

Orochimaru felt that this number was a bit outrageous, and Orochimaru knew that there were still people from the Sarutobi clan who had not been transferred back.

How much money had Hiruzen Sarutobi been greedy for over the years?

How did he support so many Sarutobi clan members?

After Orochimaru took the position of the Fifth Hokage, he first checked the financial items of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Orochimaru only made a cursory check and saw many inexplicable expenses.

It's not a war time at all, but there are so many border sentries.

The cost of supplying personnel and equipment every year is a large sum.

There are also many funeral expenses and pensions for those who died in war every year.

very messy.

These Orochimaru were all chopped off at that time.

Later, Sarutobi Takaaki came to take action. Orochimaru gave it a beating and asked the Sarutobi clan to bring some people back first.

When the first batch of 500 people came back, Orochimaru knew who those border sentries were.

Now 500 people continue to come back.

How many people has the position of Hokage raised for three generations?

It must be more than one thousand, at least two thousand to three thousand.

Orochimaru found that he was still at his lowest point, the Third Hokage was so dirty.

With so much waste, it would take some time just to be cannon fodder.

……

Luo Sha from Sand Hidden Village, Yakushi Kabuto from Oto Hidden Village, and Natsuki from Yao Hidden Village all arrived.

They had to sit up there and watch during the Chuunin Exams.

The next level, the small ninja village without shadows, is usually led by jounin.

There were not many people coming, so they basically just came to meet Orochimaru and that was it.

There is no room for these people in the stands upstairs.

Although Otogakure is also a small country, it has also become a shadow, and it seems to have an unclear relationship with Orochimaru.

Not to mention Natsuki, the leader of the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, Natsuki's newly-established country does not have the position of daimyo, and Natsuki is the current head of the country.

So a few people are qualified to sit upstairs.

However, after many people came to Konoha, they all moved into the place arranged by Orochimaru and began to wander the streets.

Some people are just hanging out, while others are looking for information.

Sunagakure Village is far less prosperous than Konoha, and the population and business atmosphere of Sunagakure are even incomparable to Konoha.

Rasa also came to Konoha when the Third Generation was still there. It was also the Chunin Examination at that time, but after a few years.

Konoha is developing very fast, especially Konoha's snack street, which is full of all kinds of food.

Except for some drinks, the others are rare foods in the Kingdom of Wind.

Luo Sha knew that this was all Xia Mu's handiwork.

Rasa, the Kazekage, would be wandering around, let alone Gaara and those people below.

Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari were all in high spirits.

Behind them was Maki, who was looking after Gaara and the other three.

Gaara and the other three knew that their teacher was not far away.

But everyone went their own way, so there was no need to get together if nothing happened.

Everyone knows the purpose of coming here.

However, few people knew exactly what would happen during the Chunin Exam.

So I waited until I came over to see the situation first.

Gaara and the others were more involved in shopping, while Machi was more involved in spying on Konoha.

Gaara was very excited when he came over. He had wanted to come to Konoha for a long time.

But his identity has never allowed it.

Now that he was finally able to come to Konoha openly, his first priority was to look for Natsuki.

Although the Uchiha clan has moved away from Konoha, Natsuki has become the head of a country.

But Rasa told Gaara that Natsuki would also come this time.

It's just that they don't know when Natsuki will arrive or where he will live.

If Natsuki wasn't here today.

Natsuki showed up later, and they had to wait until it was time for their exam.

At that time, Gaara had no choice but to go to Natsuki-sama alone to express his gratitude.

So Gaara planned to visit the snack street and appreciate the food here.

After shopping here, you can go to the Uchiha clan land.

He heard that there were some Uchiha people over there, and they might be able to contact Lord Natsuki.

The current Gaara is completely different from the Gaara who was schizophrenic due to lack of sleep in the original timeline.

Gaara has not gone berserk for a long time, he can sleep, and his spirit has returned to normal.

As time passed, those children naturally forgot the terror of Gaara in the past.

Gaara was only lonely in the first half year, but then he gradually got to know other children.

After Gaara realized that the sand that protected him was the love of his mother Garuru.

Begin to actively accept, control and use this power.

He even used this power to protect his companions who were playing with him.

While making Gaara more aware of the usefulness of this power, it also made more children willing to play with Gaara.

Gaara spent his childhood like this, although he was better at controlling his temper.

But he also laughs when he is happy, just like ordinary children.

But Sunako would automatically protect him and make a lot of jokes when he played with other friends.

There is no way to play with the ball anyway. If the ball flies towards him, his sand will automatically block it.

But these are all trivial matters. There are many strange people in the ninja world.

People are very receptive.

Friends also accepted Gaara's setting.

It was also the first time for Gaara to travel far away, and it was in a prosperous place like Konoha.

Although his emotions were well controlled, his eyes still showed wonder from time to time.

Temari and Kankuro behaved better because they had been here when Natsuki succeeded.

Gaara has initially reached an agreement with Shukaku over the years, and one person and one tailed beast can already talk to each other like friends.

"? Hmm... it's the smell of a smelly fox!"
