Naruto: Start by eating the golden fruit.

In August of the 49th year of Konoha, it was the end of summer again. Yuya was sitting in the Hokage's office, looking at the cost budget that Nara Shikaya handed him about Konoha Village's preparations for the first Ninja League World Finals. He didn't pay much attention to the eight-digit budget. Yuya looked at Nara Shikaya and asked, "Are those ninjas still not making any moves?"

Nara Shika also shook his head: "Still no movement."

Youya hissed and frowned at Nara Shikaya: "This shouldn't be the case... It's ok that there was no movement last year, but there is no movement now?"

There was actually another reason why You Ya brought so few people to the Hidden Cloud Village last year.

That is to lure out some insects in the dark.

A typical representative of these is the Shimura clan.

But here's the crux of the matter.

The Shimura clan didn't make any movement at all.

There was not even any news of Danzo Shimura convening a family meeting.

This made Youya very embarrassed.

You are so obedient, how can I target you?

Whether it was in the past life or this life, well, okay, strictly speaking in the past life, Yuya and Danzo Shimura had no hatred, it was just that when Yuya watched Naruto, he felt that Danzo was not worthy of being a human being.

But in this life, Youya does have a grudge against Danzo!

This is true both from Yuya's personal perspective and from the position of Hokage.

And it all happened because of one thing.

Danzo Shimura wanted to be Hokage.

This is the crux of the problem!

It's impossible that in the anime, Danzo wanted to be the emperor, and this guy wanted to be the emperor twenty years ago, but now he doesn't want to be the emperor anymore, right?

You Ya doesn't think this guy will change his ways.

You Ya even felt that this guy might be up to something bad.

Of course, given Yuya's current identity, there are other reasons why he specifically targets Danzo.

That is, Youya wants to use Danzo's identity to suppress the various ninja clans.

But the problem lies with Danzo again.

Why doesn't this guy jump?!

Youya is very annoyed.

In fact, Danzo is also very annoyed now.

Of course there was no way he would give up the idea of ​​becoming Hokage.

only……

The Shimura clan no longer wants to fight Yua.

Even the Shimura clan now needs Yuya's help.

why?

The various small factories owned by the Shimura clan that produced agricultural tools, tableware, etc. had little technical content. After the merchants from the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Sand Village and other villages came to Konoha, their profits became even thinner.

Especially the Hidden Cloud Village. Ever since they bought some glass products from the Konoha Village and reverse-engineered the technology to make glass, the Hidden Sand Village has opened up its Ren and Du meridians.

There is nothing else in the Sand Village, but it definitely has a lot of sand!

Therefore, the largest glass factory in the ninja world is now in the Sand Village.

Although they don't have much technology, the only cost they have to pay when selling glass products to other villages is logistics costs, and the cost of raw materials is almost negligible.

Who can beat them?!

You Ya was also happy to see this happen. If the Sand Village became rich, he could reap the benefits of their crops better.

But the Shimura clan and other villages were in a miserable state.

And now looking back, the choice made by Danzo Shimura at that time seems so stupid.

More than 20 years ago, You Ya had not yet established himself firmly on the ground, and had not yet tied all the families in the village together with interests like he does now.

At that time, Danzo Shimura had no intention of competing with Yuya, so Tobirama Senju asked him to manage a factory.

However, Danzo Shimura was unable to manage a single factory, which made Tobirama Senju furious, and he no longer believed that Danzo Shimura had management talent.

Because of this, Danzo Shimura lost the qualification to compete with Yuya for the position of Hokage.

But later, Yuya tried to appease the Shimura clan. He meant to appease the Shimura clan! Not to appease Shimura Danzo!

For Youya, he doesn’t care where Shimura Danzo dies, as long as he doesn’t get in his way.

In order to appease the Shimura clan, Youya asked the Shimura clan to select some factories as compensation to them.

Then the clan leader at that time, Danzo Shimura, chose the factory with a serious face, which was indeed profitable at that time, but is now almost unable to operate.

Even if the Shimura clan holds a meeting now, the final topic will definitely be where the money comes from.

In fact, if Youya looks at the naturalization list of the villagers in the inner city of Konoha Village, he will find out.

Many members of the Shimura clan no longer wanted to stay in their clan territory and moved into the inner city of Konoha.

Many of them have even bought houses in the inner city, but because they are from the ninja clan, they will get a 50% discount on their first house.

These current situations have already shown that the Shimura clan is on the decline.

Therefore, it is simply impossible for Youya to expect Danzo Shimura to cause trouble for him now.

Even if Shimura Danzo wanted to, it would be impossible.

The current situation is probably:

Shimura Danzo: I want to be fire...

Shimura clan: Who do you think you are? Get back here!

The so-called patriarch of a family is responsible for the entire family.

For example, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan.

Why did the last Uchiha clan leader refuse to speak out about Uchiha Setsuna until his death? Why is the Hyuga clan leader so low-key in front of Youya?!

Isn't it all for the family?

Unfortunately, Danzo Shimura didn't understand.

People like him only care about their family.

That would naturally fall into the lower class.

However, precisely because of this character, it is unrealistic for Youya to expect him to jump out now.

He's just selfish, not stupid.

Now is not the time.

Well, that's the case for Shimura Danzo himself.

pity……

Yuya sighed.

If Danzo Shimura didn't step in, he would have no reason to target other ninja clans.

Why does You Ya continue to target the ninja clan when he has been targeting them for so long?

Well, the reason is of course very simple.

These ninja clans threaten the position of Hokage.

Oh, don't misunderstand that this threatens the position of the next and subsequent Hokage.

After all, these ninjas from the ninja clan have a higher identity as ninjas than ordinary people.

This identity gives them unique advantages from birth.

Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that no matter how hard ordinary people work, it is difficult to train a ninja.

But what about a ninja clan?

Bloodline is such a good thing...

In the past, Youya targeted the ninja clan as a whole.

And now, he had to target these individual ninjas.

To put it simply, as long as I don't come out of your damn clan territory, I will target the ninjas in your family.

"Tsk."

In the end, You Ya decided to force his way through.

But this kind of thing can't be done too obviously...

……

In November of the 49th year of Konoha, the year-end review began, and Konoha Village also welcomed the first Ninja League World Championship, which was later called the first S Championship.

Although this year's Ninja League is much smaller in scale than last year's, the competition is more intense, more exciting and professional.

In the end, the team that won the championship was the Sand Village team led by Scorpion of Sand Village.
