Chapter 163 The Third Hokage Believes that Konoha Is Now Invincible (2 More)

Konoha is getting more and more lively.

It was literally hilarious.

Many outsiders came to Konoha to work, do business, or seek information.

Today's Konoha is becoming less and less like a shinobi village, and more like a city with a strong commercial atmosphere like the capital of the Fire Nation.

Many residents in Konoha saw that there were more and more people and many outsiders had no place to live, so they mastered the skills of becoming tenants and tenants without any teacher, and directly renovated their vacant houses. Later, it became a hotel directly.

Some houses are not even vacant. After forced renovation, they have formed collective dormitories where many people live together. The main focus is to be flexible and make money early.

Now everyone in Konoha is eating meat and drinking soup together, which is a lot of fun, and the major ninja clans have a deep understanding of why those nobles and rich people are so rich.

This way of making money is simply making money while lying down!

Of course, Konoha's top management understands that it is not a good thing to continue like this. After all, the core meaning of Konoha's existence is a military fortress where ninjas gather. If they only care about making money and give up even the most basic functions, then Konoha will leave. Destruction is not far away - other ninja villages don't mind taking action against Konoha in this situation.

As a result, the new city plan, which was originally idle and was planned to be launched in a few years, was launched in advance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen directly threw this task that would gain great prestige once completed to his disciple Tsunade. He planned to pass the position of Hokage to Tsunade after Tsunade presided over the completion of the construction of the new city.

What? Why doesn't Hiruzen Sarutobi take the credit for himself?

Is it possible that this arrangement would have allowed the construction of the new city to be completed during his term? Could it be that if Tsunade presided over it, nothing would happen without the Third Hokage?

Come on, in this social background of the feudal era, no matter what achievements the people below can achieve, as long as they are not overthrown and usurped by their subordinates, then no matter how great the credit is, the leader can get a huge share. fame and achievements.

The current Sarutobi Hiruzen can be said to be the most contented in his life. He led Konoha to win the Ninja War and made Konoha extremely prosperous. He also encountered a new period of great development, which changed the future of Konoha. There was light.

If he abdicates under such circumstances, his achievements and reputation will be as high as those of the first Hokage who founded Konoha, and he will leave a huge mark in the history of Konoha. This is so exciting, okay?

In addition, Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude of wanting to retire was not actually a whim, but the result of careful consideration.

Now that the changes brought about by Uchiha Kei are getting bigger and bigger, Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the controller of Konoha, also finds that many things have become more and more complicated, making it difficult for him to understand.

Because he didn't understand, he couldn't help but feel a little scared and confused - he didn't know whether it was good or bad to continue developing like this, and he didn't know whether he could control everything.

If in such a good situation, Konoha's general development trend is impacted because he failed to grasp the situation and made wrong decisions, it would be an unacceptable blow. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself would not be able to forgive himself. .

Therefore, after careful consideration, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that Konoha should be replaced by a Hokage who is more active and able to accept new things. Therefore, when Tsunade expressed his intention to take over power, he handed over power so decisively.

It cannot be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen evaded responsibility or anything, he just made what he thought was the most correct decision and the best decision for Konoha.

Today, Sarutobi Hiruzen was walking happily on the street, taking his youngest son Sarutobi Asuma with him, looking at the people coming and going on the street, the busy shops, and all kinds of workers. personnel.

Then, he ran to the new city outside Konoha and looked at the area where major infrastructure construction was being carried out. His face was full of satisfied and happy smiles.

Ten-year-old Sarutobi Asuma is very happy about this. He has not yet become the rebellious boy he will be in the future, and he is still full of admiration for his father, the oldest Hokage.

Therefore, it was quite happy for Asuma to be taken around Konoha by his father - you know, in the past, his father had no time to go shopping with him because of his job as Hokage, and even many times He couldn't see anyone, and he would be late or even absent from important events such as his birthday, which made him very sad and disappointed.

This style of painting is almost the same as the future Naruto during the Boruto era. And it is also because of this that the future Asuma will be so rebellious - it can only be said that he is dissatisfied with his own Hokage father. Asuma actually came a little late to his rebellious stage. It was not until he grew up in the future that he rebelliously left Konoha and went directly to work as a professional bodyguard for the daimyo.

Of course, history has been changed. Now that the third generation of Hokage has handed over power in advance to live a retired life, and there is a high probability that the Nine-Tails Rebellion will not happen again, Asuma, who is still young, can finally feel the love of the Hokage's father.

No, even if he was taken around Konoha and accompanied his father to watch the changes in Konoha, Sarutobi Asuma was very happy.

"Asuma, do you see it? These changes represent a better future for Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled at his youngest son with great emotion.

Asuma nodded and said very firmly and seriously: "Yes, Dad! I will definitely work hard to protect Konoha, and I will never let this beauty be destroyed!"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled even more happily, and was full of satisfaction, full of the endless joy of upholding the will of fire.

However, at this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly sensed something and turned his head to look in one direction.

Over there was the avenue leading into the old city of Konoha. Many outsiders were queuing up to enter the city one by one, and there were also people coming out of Konoha leaving along that avenue.

Under the auspices of the Konoha ninja, people moved in an orderly manner, like flowing water.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see a long dragon along the avenue, forming a prosperous scene with a lot of traffic.

Such a situation is now the norm in Konoha, and it is happening every day.

Sarutobi Hiruzen should not have cared, but just now, he vaguely felt a very sharp gaze cast on him, which made his neck cold, so he turned his head suddenly.

However, when he turned around, that feeling had disappeared.

Asuma saw his father's strange reaction and looked at Changlong, then asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Maybe it's my illusion..."

Although he said so, the third generation old man would not really let it go. After all, for ninjas, danger perception is also an important thing. As a Hokage who has lived for decades and experienced many battles, Sarutobi Hiruzen knows very well that this perception will never be wrong. Just now, a pair of eyes with malicious intent stared at him.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care much. Although he disguised himself when he went out, there were many people in the ninja world with strange eyesight and even eyes, so there were naturally guys who could see through his disguise.

It was normal for people from other ninja villages to come and show malicious intent. Today was the day when the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce's new game conference was launched, so it was normal for some foreign enemies to mix in.

Konoha had already prepared for this, and many plans had been proposed and confirmed long ago. Almost all the fighters of the Uchiha clan and the major ninja clans were ready to attack and deal with emergencies.

If someone really took the opportunity to make trouble, even if someone learned from the original Orochimaru to come up with a plan to collapse Konoha, it would only be suppressed by iron blood.

Thinking of the press conference Konoha Guard Plan formulated by Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato, and the patriarchs of the major ninja clans of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen even had a little expectation. For the first time, he hoped that someone would jump out to make trouble so that he could watch the excitement.

After all, with the same interests, those ninja clans that used to slack off all burst out with amazing energy, vowing to kill the guys who dared to jump out to make trouble at this critical moment. Even if there was a Jinchūriki who directly transformed into a tailed beast and played with self-destruction, he could only be turned into a docile thing in front of the united Konoha.

With such a terrifying power, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't think of anyone who could pose a threat to Konoha today - unless the first generation Hokage and Ninja Shura were resurrected, Konoha today would be the most stable!

Then, under such circumstances, Sarutobi Hiruzen left with Asuma, and in the long team entering Konoha, an old man with a hedgehog-like long hair leaned on a cane and slowly moved forward with the team step by step.

Although he was old and seemed to be no threat, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, making people around him dare not look into his eyes at all, and the threat that Sarutobi Hiruzen felt before was from the old man's gaze.

His name is - Uchiha Madara!
