Chapter 434: The Fire Country's Population Explodes, the Daimyo Is Both Happy and Sad

During the New Year, a large amount of supplies were sent to the border so that the ninjas stationed on the border could have a comfortable New Year.

This was something I never dared to think about in the past, but I didn’t expect it to be realized now.

Even though it was just a promise, the fact that the two most powerful people in the village had made it meant that the promise would be fulfilled.

"it is true."

Yan smiled and said:

"I, Uchiha Hiko, can guarantee in my name that not only this year, but every year thereafter, the village will allow the ninja stationed at the border to spend the New Year comfortably.

The daimyo also promised to give some benefits to the ninjas stationed at the border, so please look forward to it."

"Very good!!!"

A cheer came from the headquarters, causing the ninjas in the camp to look over in confusion.

"......"

Seeing everyone cheering, the Third Hokage felt mixed emotions and felt a little uncomfortable.

It's not that the Third Hokage had not considered this matter, but when he proposed this idea, he was dissuaded by others.

The reason why Danzo, Utane Koharu and others opposed it was that the village's expenses in all aspects were too high and there was no need to go through so much trouble just to win people's hearts.

Furthermore, it is the duty of the village ninja to guard the border for the village.

What this means is that the village has treated these ninjas well enough, and there is no need to waste money on such meaningless things.

So the Third Hokage gave up on this idea. Who could have thought that a small New Year benefit could make everyone so happy.

When word of Yan's promise spread, the entire camp was in an uproar.

With just a little New Year's benefit, Yan and Tsunade won over a lot of people's hearts.

When the news spreads to other camps, I believe the ninjas in other camps will also cheer loudly.

The Third Hokage suddenly felt that he seemed somewhat out of place.

After the ninjas in the camp started to get busy, he quietly left the camp with a few guards and returned to Konoha.

The location of the village had already been chosen, far away from the border.

With the assistance of a large number of ninjas, building a new village is not difficult.

Compared to ordinary people, sending ninjas stationed on the border to do these tasks gives people a feeling of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Although it's a bit wasteful, it's really fast.

In addition, the Fire Nation has no shortage of trees for building houses, and with the assistance of a large number of refugees, the village was built quickly.

Within a few days, all the temporary houses were built.

Having achieved this step, Konoha's mission is completed.

In the future, we just need to cooperate with the people in Daming Prefecture and distribute the supplies in batches.

As for improving the village and reclaiming the land, those who have taken root in Konoha have to do it themselves.

The task of building the village has been completed, but Konoha still has to send a lot of ninjas to be stationed in the village.

In addition to screening spies, it is also necessary to maintain order in the village.

And this is just the beginning, because as time goes by, more and more homeless refugees flock to the Fire Nation.

When the Fire Nation accepted refugees, helped them build villages, distributed supplies, and learned that they could grow their own food and become self-sufficient, those who were affected by the war flocked to the Fire Nation.

Konoha's population increased dramatically, and the daimyo was both happy and worried.

The good news is that these people have taken root in the Fire Nation, and in a few years they will completely become people of the Fire Nation and its people.

He has to pay a lot of taxes every year.

The trouble is that more and more refugees are pouring in, and Daming Prefecture needs to invest a lot of money and materials in the early stages.

We can't stop until these people can be self-sufficient.

Fortunately, Daming Prefecture is relatively wealthy and has no shortage of these supplies.

If the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Wind, or the Kingdom of Water suddenly accepted so many refugees, they would definitely have a headache for a long time.

Regarding the Fire Nation's acceptance of a large number of refugees, other countries and organizations chose to turn a deaf ear to it.

During this period, they have no time and energy to worry about these troublesome matters.

The Land of Thunder is willing and able to accept refugees, but it is too far away.

In addition, the Fire Nation had already made its name known, so the first choice for those homeless people was to go to the Fire Nation instead of going all the way to the Thunder Nation.

Even if the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is jealous of the growing population of the Land of Fire, he can only be jealous.

At this critical moment, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning did not dare to let the Cloud Village send ninjas to snatch people, otherwise he would offend the Land of Fire and Konoha.

Under Tsunade's order, the teams that had just graduated were all tasked with doing hard labor at the border.

It's just that these little guys themselves don't realize it.

They thought that the team had received a mission to go to the border camp to do something big, and had no idea that their hard days were about to begin.

The other teams rushed over after receiving the mission, but since Jiraiya's team couldn't leave, someone was sent to send the team over.

"Really? Why did Grandpa Jiraiya send us here at this time? They are all border camps. Is it more lively here?"

They were almost at the campsite, and Naruto, with his hands in his pockets and his nose running from the cold, couldn't help but complain.

The ninja who was responsible for sending the three members of the team over pretended not to hear anything. Someone would teach this kid a lesson anyway.

"Boom!!!"

As expected, Naruto's complaints had barely finished when a muffled groan was heard.

Naruto, who was knocked to the ground by a punch, covered his head and yelled:

"Sakura, why did you hit me? Damn, it hurts."

"This is the village's mission, so shut up."

Sakura clenched her fists viciously and threatened Naruto, "If you keep nagging me, I'll beat you up."

Sakura was in a good mood because she might see Sasuke, whom she had been thinking about day and night.

As a result, Sasuke didn't see it yet and had to listen to Naruto's complaints all the way. No one could stand it.

Another member of the team, Shui Bo Ren, had a wry smile on his face and quickly distanced himself from Naruto. He didn't want to be punched by Sakura.

Even though Sakura's strength isn't that great, beating up her teammates is what she's best at.

Especially beating Naruto, that's a piece of cake.

Anyway, Naruto won't fight back, so he can only stand there and take the beating.

Naruto was willing to be beaten, but he didn't want to be affected.

We are all in the same team, so fight back. It won’t look good if you get the news of hitting girls.

If I don't fight back I'll feel at a disadvantage, so it's better to stay away.

Besides, Naruto has liked Sakura for a long time, so outsiders should not interfere.

"Humph!!"

Naruto thought about it and decided to endure it. He couldn’t be angry. He couldn’t be angry.

"hateful........"

You can't fight back, but you can't help but complain and grumble in your heart.

Naruto could only keep touching the place where he was hit and grit his teeth.
