Seeing Xingye Feng's eyes suddenly change, and then return to normal, the queen hesitated to speak, thinking that Xingye Feng might have misunderstood something.
Before she could explain, Xingye Feng said,"We have been in Loulan for so long, it's time to go back."
Then, Xingye Feng tapped his fingertips, and the space in front of him suddenly shattered like a spider web, revealing a dark blue vortex.
Seeing the space getting bigger little by little, the queen's eyes widened, her expression full of disbelief.
"Ghana."After saying that, Xingye Feng walked forward slowly and entered the dark blue vortex.
After Xingye Feng left, the queen still stood there, not coming back to her senses for a long time.
Outside a vacant lot outside Konoha Village, the sun fell through the mottled leaves, and the rabbits eating grass suddenly stood up.
The two long ears stood up, as if sensing something, and the next moment, the legs exerted force, quickly entered the grass, and disappeared.
After a while, ripples appeared on the vacant lot, like the surface of water, and then the space made a squeaking sound under the heavy load.
It didn't last for a few seconds before it became fragmented, and then a figure stepped out, it was Xingye Feng
"Eight years is indeed a long time. I am finally back."Xingye Feng sighed as he looked at Konoha not far away.
"I don't know who the third generation is now, it should still be Hiruzen."He guessed so."I don't know how the others are doing."
Eight years away from the village is just a short time for him, but for others, it is already a long time.
Thinking of this, Xingye Feng strode towards Konoha.
"Alas, I heard that Konoha's commercial tax is going to be increased again. The money earned from one trip is getting less and less. How can people survive?"
On the way, Xingye Feng heard people from a nearby caravan complaining, and the words made him frown.
It seems that Konoha's commercial tax has made the caravan unable to afford it.
But this is impossible. He and Tobirama had a fierce discussion at the beginning, and the tax was not acceptable if it was too low or too high.
In the end, a commercial tax suitable for both parties was formulated.
It is impossible to change it, because the first time of something is very important. When people are used to it, if you change it, it will cause disgust among many people. This is even more true for commercial taxes. Normally, reasonable commercial taxes will stimulate the enthusiasm of merchants. If they are changed, it will cause disasters.
Xingye Feng couldn't sit still immediately. He looked at Konoha in front of him with deep eyes, and a wisp of murderous intent flowed from his eyes.
There must be something wrong, it must be!
"There is no way, we are not good at talking, we can't fight back, so we can only swallow our anger"
"That's right, Konoha is the largest village in the ninja world, occupying a large area of fertile land."
It seems that this is not an isolated case. One person's complaint has attracted the echo of a large group of people, which can already explain a lot.
Xingye Feng took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his murderous intent. At least he had to figure out what happened.
""Sir Ninja, why has the entrance fee increased again? It was not this amount last time."
The head of the caravan suppressed his anger and argued with the ninja guarding the gate.
But the ninja did not explain, but said impatiently:"Give it or not, you can't enter if you don't."
The situation was greater than the people, and the caravan had to give in. After all, the entrance fee was a small matter, but if the caravan was delayed, the loss would be huge.
A farce ended like this, and the people around looked calm, as if they were accustomed to it.
Only an elderly man couldn't help sighing when he saw this, and said:"Alas, the world is going downhill"
""Old man, do you know why this happened?" A gentle voice came from the old man.
Xingye Feng had left the team and came to the old man.
"you...You are!!" The old man just glanced casually at first, but this one glance attracted his full attention, and then he became extremely excited, as if he had seen a god.
""Master Xingye!" The old man said with his eyes wide open and his lips moving.
Xingye Feng scratched his head. It was not surprising that he could recognize him. After all, the old man lived a long time and had seen his portrait.
""Can you tell me what happened in Konoha?" Xingye Feng asked again.
At this time, the old man calmed down and said slowly:"Since the third generation came to power, it was relatively stable at first, but for some reason, the commercial tax suddenly increased."
"The caravans had to swallow their pride and thought that was the end of it, but it became more and more excessive, with various taxes coming one after another....."The old man couldn't help but shake his head."Even entering the village has to be charged."
After listening to the old man's story, Xingye Feng's face was calm, but the air pressure around him suddenly dropped.
He slowly raised his head and calmly looked at the tallest building in Konoha. His eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing through everything and pointing directly at the person sitting in the Hokage's seat.
"My words are insignificant and I can't change anything. I can only go with the flow. But I know that if it continues like this, it will be fine in the short term, but it will eventually become a hidden danger."
The old man has lived a long life, his vision has been honed over the years, and every word is true.
Under the heavy commercial taxes of Konoha, there is a dormant volcano buried.
Once it erupts, Konoha's prosperity for many years will turn into ashes.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen, absolutely not."Xingye Feng said solemnly
"That's good, that's good." The old man smiled from the bottom of his heart, he knew that Xingye Feng would definitely do it.
After paying the full fee, Xingye Feng stepped into the familiar yet strange land again after eight years.
People came and went, shouting from time to time, Xingye Feng carefully felt every change in Konoha.
Walking on the street, he saw the humble looks on the faces of the vendors, the respect they showed to the ninjas, and the hesitation of the onlookers.
Groups of three or two children suddenly became quiet in front of the ninjas, lowered their heads and walked forward, and resumed laughing after the people left, but Xingye Feng felt heartbroken no matter how he looked at it.
"Your prophecy has come true......."As he saw more and more changes, Feng Xingye's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
If Tobirama was still alive, these things would never happen to the villagers and merchants of Konoha.
The scenes before him made him realize a fact: the Second Hokage had already....Passed away
""To be eager for quick success and instant benefits, to develop the economy at all costs, is like a castle in the air, fragile and unbearable."
Xingye Feng muttered to himself with a heavy face.
Looking at Konoha, he suddenly had an idea in his heart. If he had not gone to Loulan, none of this would have happened.
Unfortunately, time never goes back, it only moves forward.
"Konoha is growing too fast, it's easy to get too full"
"Is it the immediate benefit that has blinded your eyes? Can't you see the road clearly anymore?"Xingye Feng silently looked towards the Hokage Building and walked towards it.
"What on earth was Hiruzen thinking? Was he really the one in charge? Was he addicted to the prosperous scene?"
Full of doubts, Hoshino Kaede could not help but quicken his pace, hoping to get an answer from the Third Hokage.
