Chapter 235 Forty-five Years in Konoha and Studying Abroad

As Konoha develops better and better, there is no doubt that Konoha has become a beacon for the entire ninja world.

It is said that when you are strong, people will naturally defend all your evil deeds and publicize all your good deeds.

This is what Konoha is like today.

When away from home, some Konoha businessmen lose their reputation, and people would say this is an isolated phenomenon.

When some people in Konoha do good things, people will say they are worthy of being Konoha people, and that is indeed the case.

As for Konoha, it can only be described in one sentence, that is, the air in Konoha is fragrant.

Um……

However, considering that Yuya's vigorous development of industry in the early days of coming to power caused heavy metal pollution in the air of Konoha Village at that time, it seems right to think so.

However, now that various heavy-polluting companies have relocated to countries such as the Uzumaki Country, the Bear Country, and the Country of Yu, countries that border Konoha and have a relatively important strategic location, Konoha's environment is gradually getting better. It does taste a lot sweeter with less air.

It's not just nonsense.

And this has led to a consequence, that is, many countries now regard Konoha as the only choice for studying abroad.

In the past few years, people from Sunagakure and Iwagakure villages came to study in Konoha. It was no longer something that needed to be dealt with carefully.

Nowadays, it is not news that other villages come to Konoha to study abroad. It is the news that the villages do not come to Konoha to study abroad.

Oh, this only refers to the five major countries such as the Fire Country Konoha Village.

As for the other small villages... no one cares about these small villages at all.

Weakness is the original sin.

As for the Ninja Villages in the two countries of the Country of Bears and the Country of Tang...

The economic lifeline of the village is controlled by Yuya, and it only takes a minute to bankrupt them. Is it worth paying attention to whether this kind of village comes to study in Konoha?

Well, you can't say that. I definitely don't want to control other ninja villages. I just kindly go to them to build factories and let the people there live a good life.

In short, in today's Konoha, it is bragging to say that all nations have come to court, but it is absolutely okay to say that it is a lighthouse in the ninja world.

Therefore, many things actually come naturally...

It was rare for Konoha's forty-four years to end so peacefully.

Of course, the so-called calmness is only compared to before. There are not so many twists and turns, and there are not so many emergencies. The only thing that can be said to be news throughout the year is probably because of the travel notes. She scored 21 points on the math test, which was barely enough for graduation, so Tsunade and Yuya stayed at home for three days, feeling too embarrassed to go out.

The others are gone.

In Konoha's forty-fifth year, Konoha became unusually lively at the beginning of the new year.

…

Sand Hidden Village:

"Father, I'm here." The 13-year-old Xie, who just graduated from the ninja school in Sand Hidden Village last year, just returned home and saw an extra guest in the house.

"Master Kazekage?" Seeing the kind-hearted Granny Chiyo who was gradually getting wrinkles on her face, Xie was a little surprised, and then she saluted respectfully.

Although strictly speaking Grandma Chiyo is Scorpio's grandmother, in fact both parties are a family, but here's the problem...

Grandma Chiyo became the Kazekage and no longer had much time to spend with her family.

And there is no doubt that the Fourth Kazekage Chiyo's mother-in-law did a very good job.

Although there is a lack of care for the family, Sunagakure Village under the rule of Chiyo's mother-in-law is fully committed to developing Sunagakure Village. It will not let the ninjas of Sunagakure Village go to other countries to conduct some so-called explorations if nothing happens. In fact, they still want to see if there are any Opportunity to make a fortune.

Under such a premise, basically everyone in Sunagakure Village can have spare money. At the same time, due to the low-cost food and fruits in Iwagakure Village, various textile products in Konoha Village are cheap and numerous, as well as various high-end products. Although the living standards of the people in Sunagakure Village are not as high as those of Konoha, they are very different from five years ago.

To put it bluntly, a ninja village only needs to be responsible for one village, and the "shadows" of the five major countries only need to coordinate the management of one village and concentrate all their efforts. At the same time, even if the support from the five major nations is not large, they still have support, and there is no need to do so. There is no doubt that the Kazekage of Sand Hidden Village has great control over the village. This is the consensus of the Kazekages of all generations.

After all, the first Kazekage was not willing to lose control of the village even if he did not need the aid funds from the Kingdom of Wind. This was seen by the other Kazekages.

Do you really think that the Kingdom of Wind has no money?

The first generation of the Five Kage Conference, the first Kazekage, said with a smile on his neck that he did not need a tailed beast, and he would catch the first tail himself. How contradictory is this?

You don't want the tailed beast but you want to catch Shukaku basking in the desert, aren't you contradicting yourself?

So the only thing that can be explained is that the first Kazekage had no money.

But what does the Country of Wind have to do with the lack of money in Sand Hidden Village?

Unless you hand over control of Sunagakure Village.

Of course the first Kazekage didn't want to.

So, in the end, this famous scene occurred.

But now, the life of Sunagakure Village has finally changed for the better, and Granny Chiyo is indispensable.

Not to mention her governance achievements, the director of the largest hospital in Sunagakure Village is Granny Chiyo.

I don't know how many people can be saved every year. Everyone in Sunagakure Village respects this doctor.

Xia has no special feelings about this. Although some people always say that he is the grandson of Lord Kazekage, Xia has never regarded himself as such.

"Scorpion, you're here? Come and sit down." Grandma Chiyo did not show any negative attitude towards this grandson who was slightly alienated from her. She smiled and pulled Scorpion to her side, and then asked him if it was hard to follow the jonin in the Sand Village to do missions.

Because Konoha is so powerful, people from other villages directly copied many of Konoha's systems.

The system that the genin of the Sand Village practiced with the jonin for one or two years was naturally learned from Konoha.

Scorpion answered honestly, and Grandma Chiyo listened very seriously.

After that, Grandma Chiyo asked some other questions.

Then she changed the subject and looked at Scorpion and asked a question: "You went to Konoha Village a few years ago. Are you interested in going to Konoha again?"

Scorpion looked at her grandmother with some doubts, thought about it and said: "Okay."

Grandma Chiyo was very happy, so she continued to talk to Scorpion about the issues that need to be paid attention to when studying abroad in Konoha.

...

At the same time:

Rain Country:

"Master Hanzo, you are looking for me?" The orange-haired boy came to the top of the highest tower in the Rain Country.

"Ahem, ahem, Yahiko, come here..." Hanzo's slightly weak voice came.

"Are you okay, Hanzo-sama..." Yahiko walked to Hanzo who was lying on the sickbed and asked with concern.

Salamander Hanzo looked at Yahiko in front of him with a complicated expression. He was wearing a gas mask, so Yahiko, who was close to him, could only see endless sadness and helplessness in his eyes.

"It's okay, it's just that the toxins of the salamander have eroded my body a little." The salamander Hanzo explained casually, then looked at Yahiko in front of him and asked: "What do you think of Konoha Village?" Yahiko was stunned, then looked at Hanzo in confusion: "Why do you ask this, Hanzo-sama?" Hanzo supported his body with his arms, looked at Yahiko in front of him, staring at the boy in front of him with a sharp gaze: "Don't worry about this for now, tell me, what do you think of Konoha Village and the current Third Hokage?" Yahiko thought about it and lowered his head to think for a while, then said: "Before Konoha Village came, everyone in my village didn't have enough food to eat and couldn't wear warm clothes. It was Konoha Village that built a hydroelectric power station in our village, and the lives of the people there got better..." Hanzo was a little disappointed: "So? Do you think Konoha is the hero of the Rain Country? Xiong?"

Yahiko thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know."

Hanzo was slightly stunned, then looked at Yahiko: "What do you mean?"

Yahiko said to Hanzo hesitantly: "I shouldn't hide it from Hanzo, but I don't want to lie... Telling the truth seems a little too ruthless..."

Hanzo looked at the other party seriously: "But it doesn't matter, I will forgive you, no matter what you say."

Yahiko thought for a while, and said to Hanzo: "I always feel that Konoha Village wants to get more from our Rain Country, and I always feel that they have some bad intentions...

But now they are building a power plant and a reservoir for us, making our lives better. This is a fact, so I don't think I should think of them like this..."

After listening, Hanzo looked at Yahiko, looked at him deeply, and for a long time, Hanzo, who made Yahiko a little uneasy, laughed.

Afterwards, Hanzo patted Yahiko on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Go back and prepare. I will send you to study in Konoha for one or two years."

Yahiko stared at Hanzo with his eyes wide open in disbelief: "Me?! Is it really okay, Hanzo?! The quota for studying in Konoha should be very precious!"

Hanzo laughed: "Those people think that they will not come back after going to Konoha, so of course it is precious.

But... I don't think you will let me down, right?"

Yahiko immediately raised his head and chest: "I promise not to let you down!

After I learn real skills in Konoha, I will definitely come back to change our country!"

Hanzo smiled gently and let Yahiko leave.

After Yahiko left, Hanzo pulled out a short sword from the bedding behind him, sighed, and put it in his ninja tool backpack.

For his life, Hanzo's first half of life can be said to be glorious.

At a young age, he fought a battle with Mifune of the Iron Country and became famous in one battle.

I thought this was the beginning of his glorious life...

However, after that guy named Yuya became famous, everything changed...

The Sand Village began to build a canal. The source of the canal was in the territory of the Rain Country. In order to seize the water source, the Sand Village fought against the Rain Country ninja army led by him, and both sides won and lost.

This war should have been his chance to continue to make a name for himself...

He led the Rain Country to resist the attack of the Sand Village, which was one of the five major countries, and even won a big victory! (Although it was because the Third Kazekage did it on purpose, causing heavy casualties to the Sand Bomb Clan.)

However, the final result was that the Third Hokage of Konoha got involved, forcing both sides to cease fire and forcing Hanzo to sign a 99-year humiliating treaty to transfer the use rights of the reservoir at the source to Konoha...

But he had to sign it...

The Rain Country was under enough pressure to bear the Sand Village, and if Konoha came at this time...

Hanzo closed his eyes in pain when he thought of this.

Everything started to change after the Third Hokage took office.

Originally, the Iwagakure Village, the Sand Village, and the Konoha Village all had conflicts with each other, but they lived a comfortable life in the Rain Country in the middle.

Until this guy appeared, the three parties no longer fought and focused on development, which was a pain for him.

Not long ago, the Iwagakure Village found an excuse to beat him, forcing Hanzo to spend the money he didn't earn to buy Konoha weapons to protect himself...

We can't continue like this...

Hanzo knew that if this continued, the Rain Country would be completely divided by these sooner or later.

But what he knows better is...

The attraction of Konoha Village to the Country of Rain can no longer be solved by just raising his arms.

To put it bluntly, if they could betray their country and join Konoha, many people from the Rain Country might actually do it.

If you want to change the status quo, you have to completely reform the Kingdom of Rain.

But here comes the problem...

He, Hanzo, is the architect of the current system of Rain Country.

He wants to reform...does he want to reform himself?

Helpless, Hanzo could only seek change.

In his heart, he was very optimistic about this boy named Yahiko.

He is thirteen years old this year and graduated from the Rain Country Ninja School last year. The key to the question is what Yahiko thinks about Konoha Village and whether he will go to Konoha and never come back.

Fortunately, he was satisfied with the test results.

future……

After all, it belongs to young people...

Hanzo sighed helplessly. He could feel that his life would come to an end in about five or six years.

The saying that the toxin of Sanshou fish corrodes the body is not entirely a lie.

…

Konoha, Hokage Office:

Looking at the old, young and old kneeling in front of him, Youya scratched his cheek.

He never imagined that the characters in the original comics would appear in front of him so early, and...

"Please, Hokage-sama, please take care of Konan..."

This is the situation when the old man in front of him just knelt on the ground and begged Youya.

The Xiaonan he was talking about, whose full name was Amber Nan, was a child of the Amber clan in the Land of Fire.

Not long ago, the Kohaku clan offended the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire. I don’t know for what purpose. It might be to scare the monkeys, or something else. In short, the twelve guardian ninja warriors fought for the reputation of the Daimyo and attacked the Kohaku clan. , and captured the members of the Amber clan to the Daming Mansion, presumably to serve as slaves as a guilty clan.

And this Xiaonan is naturally the Xiaonan in the Akatsuki organization.

Youya touched his chin and looked at Xiaonan who was biting his lip with a stubborn expression in front of him, wondering if this was a script in which an enemy would destroy my family and take revenge when I return in the future?

You are the protagonist and I am the protagonist?

Your script is wrong.

Yuya sighed, then nodded: "You guys can live in Konoha for now. As for what happens next... we'll talk about it later."

The old man was overjoyed and took Xiaonan to salute Youya.

After the old man left, Yuya touched his chin and began to think. Xiaonan actually came to Konoha, although the way he came...

It's a bit special, but at least people are coming.

So here comes the question...

Konan is here, are Yahiko and Nagato still far away?

To put it bluntly, Youya was definitely joking when he had this idea.

It’s impossible for him to come as soon as I tell him, right?

However, when Youya looked at the familiar and dazzling names on the study abroad applications sent from the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Whirlpool the next day...

Youya fell into silence...

Is my mouth opened?
