Then the collapse of the capital chain in the later stage is also within a reasonable range. Even ninjas have to abide by the laws of economics, right?
If it weren't for the Hokage's kindness in purchasing the remaining assets at the lowest price, they would have all been left on the streets.
With this kindness, everyone in Konoha would sigh that the Hokage is a good person, and it is just that these families are too radical in their execution.
Especially the Nara clan's operator Shikaku, who practically lived in the Hokage building to repay the Hokage's trust.
He hardly even dared to go out, he was determined to work hard until his death.
All the ninjas who saw this guy from behind would give him a thumbs up.
Of course, not everyone can face winning or losing calmly. There are always people who like to look for reasons in others when problems arise.
However, under the military suppression of Konoha, there was no chance to use any tricks.
So he slowly faded out of the upper echelons of Konoha to make room for newcomers.
It wasn't long before a new conspiracy theory about the Hokage arose, but Kakashi didn't care. As a Hokage, he was born to take the blame for the Hokage's secretary.
Besides, the first blame is usually put on Lu Jiu.
How nice it would be if the succession was silent. The village will remember them.
It's better than some guys who are so greedy that they lose their minds. In the past two years, many people have been hung in front of the Hokage Building.
The square in front of the Hokage Building was made into a tourist attraction.
Visitors from afar would feel their trip wasted if they didn't come here to take a close look at the Hokage Building. Some people with abnormal brain circuits would even take photos with the empty gallows.
"Itachi-sama please follow me, Hokage-sama has been waiting for a long time."
"Counselor Shikaku, you seem... a little tired?"
"……please"
Lu Jiu didn't want to talk, he was tired.
Chapter 5: Akatsuki's Strongest Ninja
The simple wooden door was pushed open.
There have been three people waiting inside for a long time.
One is Uchiha Shisui, the captain of the Konoha Guard, and the other is Hyuga Hizashi, who was originally on a mission but came here temporarily and no one knew what to do.
After he heard the news that Uchiha Itachi had returned with his men, he went straight to the Hokage's office to wait. Kakashi said that it was no problem with this old father's mood, and it would be fine to wait for them together.
Now that the father and son have met...there is no crying and hugging each other as everyone expected, not even a hug.
The Hyuga family has too many decent qualities in their bones, so Kai should be allowed to help them liberate their nature.
This was Shisui's idea. He couldn't let that green-skinned bastard always cause trouble to the young men of the Uchiha family.
Who knew that my weakness of emotional fluctuations would be exploited by a rare beast? The current atmosphere in the security team is really scary.
"Father, I'm back."
"...Just come back."
Even though the medical strength of the Rain Country is incredibly powerful, and its technological means and sealing techniques are already at the forefront of the ninja world.
But of course I was very happy to see my son return safely, but I didn't want to show it in front of many people, so I deliberately suppressed some physical movements.
But how could that slightly trembling hand be hidden from the strong men in this office?
Neji saw his father standing there and took off the bandage on his forehead, revealing his smooth skin.
The complex and ugly patterns have disappeared.
After seeing this scene, Hizashi's eyes were first filled with relief, then joy and excitement, and finally... an indescribable complex feeling.
Spread your wings and fly high...To be honest, no branch family would not care about this matter.
Hizashi has no resentment towards his brother, and Hiashi is already a very good brother.
In a critical moment, he was willing to commit suicide to save his brother, and was also willing to stand on the side of the Hokage for his relatives in the most critical moment.
Moreover, because of Neji's apprenticeship and the relationship between Hizashi himself and Kakashi, he has never been wronged in the clan over the years.
But shackles are shackles, and deep down they will always be inferior to the clan.
At that time, that bastard Hizashi who performed the Caged Bird in front of Neji really wanted to kill him, but unfortunately even someone with a special status like Hizashi could not harm a main family without permission.
This is the most twisted class division within the ninja clan, just like... slaves.
Now that Ningji's caged bird has been broken, it also means that all the caged birds of the branch family have been broken together.
It also represents the conflicts accumulated between the branch family and the main family over thousands of years, which no longer have any chance of being reconciled.
Hizashi didn't know what the Hyuga ancestors were thinking a thousand years ago, and they actually used this method to preserve the continuation of their bloodline.
Have you ever considered that when the caged bird is broken, it will bring hatred?
He had already seen the moment when the thousand-year-old ninja clan was destroyed.
Itachi also took out a scroll and some sealing runes at the right time, all of which were brought from the Rain Country.
The scroll contains the method to completely release the bird from the cage, which requires a ninja who is proficient in sealing to study for a period of time before it can be performed.
There is also a technique for applying a second seal for a short period of time to shield the bird in the cage. This is much faster to perform and only requires sticking it on the forehead.
Of course, none of this is free, and Kushina, who suddenly has educational anxiety, still asks for a very high price.
Kakashi paid the full amount with a stroke of his pen. Konoha Village is not short of money!
Of course, this amount is just an advance payment, and the real payer will be the helmsman of Shin Hyuga.
The main point is that you don’t feel bad about spending other people’s money.
"Hokage-sama...I..."
"Oh, you can take Neji home. Just be careful not to expose yourself. We can talk about the details after school starts."
"Yes."
Hizashi re-did Neji's disguise and left to go home.
After dealing with Hinata's affairs, Kakashi looked at the other child.
This is Minato’s child. Although he has been to the Rain Country many times, he has not had many opportunities to meet Naruto.
In terms of appearance, they really look alike, both with yellow hair and blue eyes, and their clothing style is also the same as their teacher's.
But why do her eyes look a bit... like Sister Kushina?
Kakashi had a strange premonition. According to Orochimaru's genetics, this disciple should have inherited Minato's talent.
My three disciples will all become extraordinary people in the future.
"Naruto you...wait a minute. We'll be off work soon."
He put his disciple matters aside and looked at Itachi.
"Itachi, thank you for your help this time."
"Just in time for you to come back and take Sasuke to school, I asked the teacher to lend me a hand for a while."
"After all, some things require people you absolutely trust to do."
Kakashi's tone was still very polite. Although Itachi still wore the Konoha forehead protector and was considered a registered ninja of the village, his work content had always been in the Kingdom of Wind.
Besides, he is a fellow disciple and has now become a new generation of strong man. It is not so easy to give orders to him.
"I understand, Kakashi-san. It's just that how long will the mission take... We can't leave the Wind Country for too long."
"Within a week after school starts."
"That's fine. Some things should be eradicated sooner."
Time is Itachi's biggest problem. As for the difficulty of the task... it is no longer within the consideration of the people in this office.
"By the way, did the teacher ask me to do anything?"
"Teacher Noah said that we need to go to the desert together after you finish your work, so he asked you to reserve time in advance."
Kakashi nodded. As far as he knew, Teacher Noah had been personally in charge of several top-secret missions.
It may be a major crisis that requires the full assembly of all members of Akatsuki to deal with.
I guess going to the desert has something to do with one of these things.
"Okay, I won't waste your time."
"Please help me put in a good word with Mikoto-senpai when you get home. This mission of yours wasn't arranged by the Hokage, so it's useless to keep looking for me..."
Shisui, who had been silent the whole time, nodded. He had been called several times before, which was really frustrating...
Itachi smiled awkwardly. Why is his mother's personality becoming more and more like Aunt Kushina?
When only Kakashi and Naruto were left here.
The Fifth Hokage said as he stood up and looked at the bored brat who was already waiting.
"Welcome home, Naruto."
Looking at this Hokage with a rather sharp temperament, Naruto swallowed nervously.
This is not the weird uncle who has been decadent for a long time and likes to read 103,000 volumes of magicians in the original timeline, but the Bloody Thunder Kakashi who suddenly appeared.
He defeated the Hokage in front of the Hokage Building and was a super strong man who killed the Raikage in the Land of Iron.
There are thousands of legends about the Fifth Hokage in the Ninja World. Some say he is a conspirator, some say he is a killing maniac, and some say he is a rebel.
And... too young.
Kakashi has just entered his golden age, and his strength is still in the growth stage, but it has already reached the top that countless people cannot see.
Such a high-spirited young warrior has developed an invincible aura. Although he is deliberately restraining himself, his aura is still very terrifying.
No matter how calm Naruto is, he will still feel nervous in a small space.
Seeing the tension, Kakashi found a reason to ease the atmosphere.
"Ahem, you must be a little scared when you first come to Konoha, right, kid."
Imp?
Children hate it most when others treat them as children.
Naruto's stubbornness immediately flared up.
"I'm not afraid! I'm Uzumaki Naruto who is going to be the strongest ninja in Akatsuki!!!"
……
"Cough cough..."
Is it okay that Akatsuki is the strongest?
You are not nervous anymore, and this bold statement even scared Kakashi.
Kids nowadays are really brave. Even if you say that becoming a Hokage is not a problem, the difficulty of becoming the strongest in Akatsuki is a bit outrageous.
The images of those honorary leaders who looked like bad guys and the aftermath of the group battles in the past few years came to my mind...
Do you want to spar with the woman who holds down the Four Tails with one hand of the Five Elements Mountain?
Teacher Noah was not even taken into consideration. Kakashi always felt that monsters like the teacher were humanoid creatures from outer space.
However, the atmosphere has eased down, so let's strike while the iron is hot and make it a perfect first communication.
Chapter 6 Naruto and Sasuke
“Let me introduce myself formally first.
I am your teacher, Hatake Kakashi, whom you have never met. My current job is Hokage."
I like saury and hate tempura.
My dream is to help the teacher complete the liberation of the ninja world, and my hobby is... reading... serious books."
