Chapter 109: The folk customs are simple and Konoha Village
The Land of Fire is adjacent to the area around Konoha Hidden Village, and there are forests beyond a few main roads.
At this time, Konoha Hidden Village was still the largest military base in the Fire Country, and the surrounding villages of all sizes were relocated to Konoha voluntarily or voluntarily.
Most of the houses in the village used to be the sentry post rest area for the ninjas around Konoha.
On the main road leading to the direction of the Konoha Gate, under the guidance of a small group of Konoha ninjas, three men wearing red cloud robes on a black background were walking on the road.
"I don't know, Konoha communication ninjas are doing well with us."
Yahiko said with some concern.
"Brother Yahiko, it's definitely okay.
Before we set off, my companions heard about your teacher and his companions, the legendary Konoha Sanshinobi who saved you and Nagato in times of crisis, and the new "Ah Fei" who also saved us all.
Everyone is grateful for this exchange between Konoha and us! ”
Hasuke on the side said with a smile.
And Nagato, who was walking on the other side of Yahiko, was so preoccupied that he didn't say a word, and a few words from the soil before leaving made him decide to come to Konoha to have a look.
"My teacher, the fourth Hokage, his wife, is a member of the Uzumaki clan just like you.
I think she'll be glad to see you. ”
In the previous matter, under the instruction of the second, third, and fourth generations of Hokage of Konoha, and under the guidance of Jiraiya and Obito, the people of the Xiao organization and the high-level leaders of Konoha decided to unify their voices.
So what happened at the scene of the Armistice Covenant became:
Sanshoyu Hanzo suddenly betrayed his promise and attacked the unsuspecting Konoha side representatives at the scene of the alliance.
Lord Shimura Danzo and his root ninja died unsuspectingly from the poison of the Sansho fish.
Akatsuki and Jiraiya, who rushed to the scene, and Tsunade had no choice but to put an end to Hanzo's ambitions.
Then, in the presence of the new leader of the Land of Rain, the Akatsuki organization, Konoha and Iwa Shinobi re-signed an armistice.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see how obvious the loopholes are.
However, when Konoha delivered the letter to Onoki's desk in Iwakuin Village, Onoki also frowned and pinched his red rosacea and signed his name on the confirmation receipt.
This is probably politics, the truth is not important, the reasonable result that is acceptable to all parties is important.
As for whether it's ridiculous or not, you want to question it, do you have the ability to go to Konoha's fourth generation Hokage and Iwa Shinobi's third generation Tsuchikage to confront each other?
As far as the line of sight could see, the gate of Konoha Village had already appeared at the far end of the main road.
Ignorant Genma, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, and said with a thousand mouths in his mouth:
"It's rude, but I still have to make a request according to the instructions of the four generations."
When the three of Yahiko were a little confused, Ebisu, who was on the same team as Genma, took out a pair of sunglasses with the same style as his face and handed them to Nagato.
"Please this ninja of the Uzumaki Clan, put on these sunglasses."
When Yahiko saw the sunglasses, he already understood the intention of the four generations of Hokage.
He smiled at Nagato and nodded, saying:
"Put it on, it's for our sake."
In the past year or two, although the Akatsuki organization has been active in the Land of Rain, Nagato has a pair of reincarnation eyes, and it seems that it has not been spread to the entire ninja world except for Konoha and Iwa Shinobi.
But after all, Konoha is different from the Land of Rain, the chaos and disorder of the Land of Rain are on the surface, and in a place like Konoha how many spies from various countries are hidden in the shadows, the real Hokage can't say clearly.
"This four-generation Hokage who has never met, the same family of several of us, is a person who is delicate and considers us."
Nagato thought to himself, nodded at Yahiko, put his sunglasses on his face, and raised his head.
"Roar! A man should hold his head up proudly!
This is youth!
Everyone, run in the direction of Konoha! ”
The three of them in the Xiao organization reluctantly smiled and looked at the last Konoha ninja in a green tights who suddenly didn't know what was going crazy, and shouted a slogan.
I don't know that Izuku, Genma and Ebisu raised their foreheads, watching Kai fight every day, standing upside down and moving quickly towards the gate of Konoha Village.
Yahiko was suddenly a little glad that this time Konoha didn't send this young ninja wearing a spicy-eyed green jumpsuit to the Akatsuki Organization to help them train their members, otherwise......
Hatosuke and Nagato nodded with a black line, thinking that after the three of them returned from Konoha, they watched everyone take off their robes and stand upside down in the same onesie to greet them......
A few minutes later, several people came to the gate of Konoha, and after Genma and the guards outside the gate completed the delivery formalities, they led the three of Yahiko to the gate.
Yahiko looked up at the tall walls and huge gates of Konoha, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited and uneasy in his heart.
This is what Mr. Jiraiya inadvertently mentioned many times when he taught them.
This is the largest village in the ninja world that has survived several wars!
This is the place where two people, who were known as the gods of the ninja world back then, abandoned their hatred and joined hands to establish it.
Generations of strong people have been bred here, and even their own teachers have grown up here.
Hatosuke walks the streets of Konoha and busy people run about their own livelihoods; Casual people stood in groups of twos and small streets, chatting without saying a word.
Nagato watched through his sunglasses as a group of Konoha ninjas passed by him, the red vortex behind them made his mood even sadder, but he was also a little expectant.
"Excuse me, why are there so many civilians in your village?"
Yahiko finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked Shiranui Genma, who looked the most reliable beside him.
"Well, it seems to start with the policy of the second Hokage-sama back then."
The thousand books in Genma's mouth shook slightly, and he motioned for Ebisu to take over the topic.
Although on the surface he is the face of the single dog squad, when it comes to knowledge reserves, it is still Ebisu, a stuffy ** wolf, who reads the most.
Ebisu helped the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said:
"At that time, the first Hokage-sama was tired of the current situation of ninja clans fighting each other, and proposed the idea of establishing a ninja alliance to unite the ninja families in the Fire Country to serve the Fire Country together.
Ninja families large and small joined one after another, until Madara Uchiha, the powerhouse of the Uchiha clan, finally formed an alliance with Lord Tsuruma.
Our Konoha Hidden Village was officially established in this place.
However, due to the single population structure of the original Konoha Hidden Village, after a few years, everyone felt that life was inconvenient. ”
Ebisu pointed to the large and small shops on the commercial street they were walking through and said:
"I heard that at first, these shops and merchants were not allowed to enter Konoha Hidden Village.
And the ninja family, even if it is really because of the unscrupulousness of the descendants, cannot refine the chakra to become a ninja, and the inheritance is cut off.
The honor of their family will not allow them to run business; Instead, he silently left Konoha. ”
It's only half of what he said, this kid looks like a sharp-beaked monkey, and at first glance he is not a kind person like Akai.
Otherwise, in another time and space, he would not have been chosen by Sarutobi as the tutor of his grandson Konohamaru.
What he taught was not just his own solid foundation of ninjutsu......
The truth is that when Konoha Hidden Village was founded, the daimyo and the officials in his mansion were not all waste of corpse vegetarian meals after all.
They could see that in response to the current troubled times, this ninja alliance could avoid a lot of meaningless internal friction and fighting for the Fire Nation compared to hiring ninjas in the past.
But this will also boost the cohesion and ambition of this group of ninjas who have a power that ordinary people cannot match.
Therefore, when the war in the troubled times had just calmed down, the daimyo attacked Konoha Hidden Village.
They cleverly avoided a head-on confrontation with the ninjas, and instead secretly restricted civilians from moving into the hidden village.
They want to control Konoha by controlling the necessities of life flowing into Konoha through economic means.
However, at that time, the high-level of Konoha was not only Pillar and Madara after all.
They ignore a wise and calm man, a thousand hands.
……
Ebisu pointed to the second avatar on the left hand side of the Hokage Cliff standing tall in the distance, and said in a tone full of admiration:
"Lord Hokage-sama of the second generation!
He expected that in the long run, this seemingly inconspicuous crisis would limit Konoha's development.
So after he succeeded to the position of the second Hokage, the first thing he did was to communicate with the daimyo of the Fire Country.
Later, a steady stream of civilians and merchants moved into Konoha, and the size of Konoha continued to expand as the population increased. ”
Communication is indeed communication, and the threats and games hidden behind these two words have long been hidden behind history.
More importantly, Ebisu also did not mention it to the three senior executives of the Xiao organization, that is:
The appearance of civilian ninjas.
A large number of civilians moved into Konoha, and when they saw that the ninjas' income was several times higher than that of ordinary people, they naturally hoped that their descendants would be able to become one of them, thus changing the fate of the entire family and even the family.
Under the protection of Konoha's wings, the ninja clan has developed for a few years and then shows a tendency to be big and unstoppable, which seems to be impossible to sit idly by and ignore in the hands of a thousand hands.
However, as Hokage, whose interests do you represent?
It is the benefit of the ninjas who have the right to vote in Konoha in the upper ninja class.
When Kazuma first took office, not to mention the ninja, more than ninety percent of the ninjas in the entire Konoha were ninjas with family heritage.
If he insisted on going his own way at that time and suppressed the ninja clan with a dead hand, he could only become the Emperor Yang of Sui in the Hokage World.
Even if he used an upright conspiracy to calculate the Uchiha clan, and was reversed decades later, didn't he still avoid the black cauldron that belonged to him?
So he skillfully propped up the emerging force, the civilian ninjas.
Don't say that the civilian ninja combat scum five, the living examples of the three generations of Thunder Shadow are placed there.
10,000 battle scum can consume you alive, this figure of Gundam Okay.
Besides, Konoha's civilian ninja, can it be called a civilian ninja?
Uncle Kosuke is a civilian ninja, or a 10,000-year-old ninja, and he dares to underestimate that his grave grass is already old.
Maite Dai and Maitkai are civilian ninjas, and the deeds of being a father as a ninja tearing ninja knife seven people have just been squeezed out of the headlines by "Madara Uchiha reappears in the ninja world".
Do you need to talk more about being a son? Are the Eight Gate Dunjia Day Immortals playing around with you?
And now just a little kid, the future super teacher Iruka Umino.
Don't look at the combat effectiveness of other people, but who is the enlightener of Naruto's mouth shield?
"This is Konoha, seemingly ordinary people, who make up this great village.
In times of crisis, even if the ninjas give up their lives, they will resolutely stand up!
This is youth! Guests from the Land of Rain! ”
The three of Yahiko followed the upside-down Akai to Konoha's ninja school, and they were greeted by Maite Dai, who was in a wheelchair but still laughing heroically.
Hasuke and Nagato looked at this man who had been famous in the ninja world for more than a year, and their faces were a little moved.
But Yahiko, the main owner, sneaked into the hallway of the school.
He searched for his teacher, Jiraiya, on the photos of outstanding graduates hanging on the walls of the corridors, but found nothing......
"This, is this a picture of Orochimaru?
Alas, I remember the teacher said that compared to him back then, Orochimaru was the tail of the crane? ”
Yahiko looked up at the photo of Konoha Sixteen Years Outstanding Graduate Snake Pill and was a little puzzled.
"Haha. You've been with Jiraiya for so long, haven't you discovered his true nature? ”
A slightly old voice sounded from behind Yahiko, and he turned around, with a smile on his face as he held a pipe in his hand.
"That idiot, he came from the tail of a veritable crane back then."
"You...... Are you the teacher of Jiraiya-sensei? ”
Hizai nodded, looking at the orange-haired young man in front of him.
It's really like it.,Back then, it was also ......
"I'm Ape Fei Ri Chop, the teacher of the Konoha Sannin in your mouth."
"Miyome Hokage-sama?!"
Hizashi shook his head with a smile, looked at Yahiko, who was a little excited, and said:
"That was before I retired.
Now, I'm the honorary principal of this school, and I'll come and see the kids when I have time. ”
Yahiko followed Hinata and walked through the classrooms in the hallway.
From time to time, Hizai stopped and stood next to the back door of the classroom, looking at the children in the classroom through the window.
However, he did not know that his self-righteous old face had become a childhood shadow in the minds of many deserted children......
"From Jiraiya's letter, I have learned about your original intention and ideals for establishing this organization."
"What do you think...... What do you think? ”
Hizashi and Yahiko walked out of the school building, Hizaki looked up at the cloudless sky in the afternoon, and smiled:
"That's good, you're a disciple of Jiraiya, and you've inherited his philosophy well.
But ah, kid. Things in this world are often halfway through, and when you look back, you find ......"
In the heart of the day slash, the figure of the young Tuanzang and himself fighting side by side reappeared.
"Unsatisfactory things, setbacks and failures will fill your life.
The harder the person struggles, the deeper this feeling becomes.
As the leader of a village and a country, the dilemma will accompany you for the rest of your life......"
Hizaki remembered how many times he had violated his conscience and emotions in his heart over the years he had been the Hokage, silently watching the civilians of other countries, the civilians of the Fire Country, and even the ninjas and civilians of Konoha fall in front of his eyes......
He looked back at Yahiko, who was a little surprised, and suddenly smiled.
"Come on, young man!
I'm old, and that guy isn't young anymore.
The future belongs to that guy's disciples.
Our four generations of Konoha have been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Yahiko raised his head, and before he knew it, he had followed Hizashi to the Hokage Building in the heart of Konoha.
Not far behind the multi-storey building is Konoha's most spectacular landmark, the Hokage Cliff.
Four distorted but very expressive faces were carved into the cliff face, staring silently at the land and people they had been guarding in front of them.
A figure walked out of the gate of the Hokage Building, with long blond hair and a gentle smile on his face, Bo Feng Shuimen, who was wearing a god's suit, looked at Yahiko not far away, and said:
"Welcome to Konoha, leader of the Akatsuki Organization.
Maybe I should call you, Brother Yahiko? ”
……
In the evening, deep in the forest behind Hokage Cliff, smoke rose from outside a modest cabin.
Outside the house, next to the campfire, there was a large black cauldron.
Inside the pot are bamboo shoots, corn, enoki mushrooms, mushrooms and green onions.
An old man of the same age as Ri Slash, dressed in plain short clothes, came to the pot with a bucket in his hand.
He took out a fat grass carp from the bucket, found a kunai fish, and cleaned the internal organs.
After cutting the fish into several pieces, the old man put the fish into a pot that had been poured into the water and boiled on a campfire.
After a while, the ingredients in the pot already gave off a fragrant taste.
The old man sat quietly by the campfire, looking at Konoha Village in the distance, which was reflected in the sunset, with a peaceful smile on his face.
"Kosuke, your cooking skills are getting better and better."
When the old man heard this, he turned his head in some surprise.
Dressed in a fur-collared blouse, Senju stood by the pot, smiling and looking at himself with his arms folded.
"Second Hokage-sama?!"
Kazuma walked up to Kosuke, patted him on the trembling shoulder, and said:
"You are not dreaming, and don't be afraid.
You're not alive yet, and I'm not a ghost sent by the underworld to take you away. ”
As the bonfire burns brighter and brighter, Kosuke fills a bowl full of the best fish and vegetables and hands it to the front room.
But he shook his head, but said with regret:
"Don't waste these good ingredients, although I really want to eat them, with my current body, I can't eat any food."
Kosuke was not pretentious, sat aside, picked up a piece of fresh and tender fish and tasted it deliciously, then put down the bowl, pointed to Konoha Village under the sunset, and said with emotion:
"Only the food and the scenery should not be disappointed."
He smiled, nodded and said:
"Decades have passed, and the little ghost who cried in front of me back then can now say such philosophical words.
How are you doing all these years? ”
"Thank you, although I have been doing it for more than thirty years."
Kosuke touched several scars on his body, gently stepped on the ground with the prosthetic leg of his left leg, and said with a smile:
"I fought under you, the third generation, and even the fourth generation before I became the Hokage.
Although I have always been an inconspicuous shinobi in the eyes of others, my ninja career is very complete. ”
