Chapter 358 Tetsuya: Danzo is coming to sweep my grave?
With the Five Kage Summit concluded, the situation in the ninja world began to become increasingly uncertain.
The most surprising thing was that after Iwagakure and Kumogakure announced that they were severing ties with Konoha, Konoha immediately replaced its Hokage.
Just when everyone thought the newly appointed Hokage would choose to ease the tensions between Konoha and the two major ninja villages, Konoha's new Hokage, Danzo, directly announced that all the treaties and contracts signed by the previous Hokage were null and void, and he would not recognize them.
He then publicly warned the two Kage of Iwagakure and Kumogakure not to use the previous Hokage's affairs to blackmail him, the new Hokage.
This statement enraged the Raikage and Tsuchikage, and then...
And that was the end of it; for them, the whole thing was just too bizarre.
After fighting a battle in the Land of Iron, he returned to Konoha and got a new Hokage. And this new Hokage was an old guy, and this old guy was so tough.
It's hard not to suspect that there might be some conspiracy behind this. In order not to fall into a trap, the furious Tsuchikage and Raikage calmed down instead.
Most importantly, the Konoha ninjas who attacked their village during the Five Kage Summit were very strange; some of them had clearly died at their hands long ago.
But it was incredibly strange that these dead ninjas had appeared in the group that attacked their village.
"Lord Hokage, there are no unusual developments at the border. Iwagakure and Kumogakure have stopped sending reinforcements to the border."
In the Hokage's office, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were astonished as they listened to Aburame Ryoma's report.
In their minds, Danzo's remarks were practically a declaration of war.
I originally thought that Kumogakure and Iwagakure would be enraged and launch an attack directly on Konoha.
"I understand, you may leave now."
Danzo was extremely pleased with himself at this moment. As expected, it was still up to him to take action.
Without my existence, Konoha would probably have been torn to pieces by others long ago.
Mitokado Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Danzo, what's going on? Why are Iwagakure and Kumogakure completely silent?"
Call me Hokage!
Danzo glanced at his old friend with displeasure, but still answered.
"Hmph, it must be that old bastard Onoki and that Raikage from Kumogakure, who's all muscle and no brains, have realized how powerful I am and are scared."
Upon hearing Danzo's words, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were utterly speechless.
However, they couldn't say much more. Just as he said, he was now the Hokage.
Their power is based on Danzo, and there is no benefit in going against Danzo.
Xiaochun, who was changing dorm rooms, changed the subject.
"So what should we do next? As that person just said, Kumogakure and Iwagakure have only stopped reinforcing their troops, but the people who have gathered on the border have not yet withdrawn. Shouldn't we prepare countermeasures in advance?"
"Isn't that simple?"
Danzo said, leaning on his cane.
"Isn't it just about stationing troops on the border? We'll do the same. We'll send two groups of people to guard the border. If they dare to cross the border, we'll fight them."
"Is it really that simple and brutal?"
"That's right, it's that simple and straightforward. It's just that those guys in the past complicated a simple problem."
"But won't doing this cause any problems?"
"What other problems might there be?"
When Danzo saw Koharu questioning him, he glared at her and said.
"The worst-case scenario is that they'll just attack us recklessly, regardless of the consequences. If they're willing to fight, then let them fight! We, Konoha, have never been afraid of war, because we, Konoha, have always been the victors in war!"
Looking at Danzo's arrogant face, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu couldn't help but sigh. Could Danzo really be a good Hokage?
"When it comes to war, money and supplies are indispensable. How is the village's finances?"
"The village's financial situation is not optimistic."
Xiaochun shook her head as she turned to her new room.
Too many things happened, one after another, and Konoha's economic situation was not so good.
Especially after the death of Chiba Tetsuya, the relationship between the Chiba Chamber of Commerce and Konoha became increasingly distant, and cooperation between the two sides decreased.
Having lost the Chiba Trading Company as a cash cow, the money earned by the villagers from completing tasks is simply not enough, and they can only rely on the daimyo's funding.
However, the Daimyo reduced the funding and aid to Konoha, citing that Konoha's reputation had negatively impacted the Land of Fire's international image and led to a decrease in the Land of Fire's revenue.
Danzo glanced at the financial report and immediately frowned.
Has Konoha really fallen to this state?
He remembered that Konoha wasn't like this before. Back when the monkeys were around, they were rebuilding streets and carrying out large-scale construction projects.
How could Konoha possibly be short of money?
Oh right, back then, the monkey had the help and support of the Chiba Trading Company, but now...
"It seems that my primary task as Hokage is to make money."
Do you have a way to make money?
Danzo proudly raised his head.
"Of course there is a way."
"Spread the word that I'm going to the Land of Grass to visit the grave of my old friend, Tetsuya Chiba."
Xiaochun frowned as she turned to her new room.
Are you close to Tetsuya Chiba?
In her memory, Danzo and Chiba Tetsuya weren't very familiar with each other; they had only met a few times.
"Heh, I'm not really close to Chiba Tetsuya, but so what? I'm not actually going to his grave."
Danzo revealed a sinister smile. He had long harbored the idea of taking action against the Chiba Trading Company, but his previous attempts had all failed.
However, this does not prevent him from taking action against the Chiba Merchant Guild again. If all goes well, perhaps he can also bring the Grass Country under his control.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado felt that what they were doing was somewhat inappropriate, but now that things had come to this, they were already tied to Danzo, and all they could do now was support Danzo.
Otherwise, when Danzo falls from grace, they will suffer the same fate.
Soon, news spread online that Danzo was going to the Land of Grass to visit Tetsuya Chiba's grave.
Everyone was astonished by the new Hokage's audacity. In the current situation, he actually dared to leave Konoha and go to sweep someone else's grave. This was simply unbelievable.
This news made Onoki and A even more certain that Danzo was up to something, and their previous vigilance was justified.
They need to be even more vigilant going forward.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Grass, Tetsuya's eyelids twitched as he read the news that Danzo was coming to visit his grave.
"Seriously, is Danzo crazy? Do I even know you? Who the hell are you to come sweep my grave?"
"I can't help but ask the salamander god, who is standing nearby."
"Lord Daimyo, would you like to give this Hokage some 'special treatment'?"
Tetsuya frowned, then suddenly slapped his thigh and grinned.
"No need, he won't make it to the Land of Grass."
