Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Chapter 112 Arrival at Konoha
In the hall of his own house, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned as he looked at his future daughter-in-law in front of him.

"You are not responsible for that battle, and Shinnosuke certainly doesn't want to see you consumed by hatred."

Sighing, Sarutobi Hiruzen persuaded.

This future daughter-in-law suddenly submitted an application for the Chunin Exam. Although this girl, like her son Shinnosuke, had never participated in the Chunin Exam and there was no record of her promotion in the official files, strictly speaking she was indeed a Genin and could take the Chunin Exam.

But he had already been a special jonin two years ago, and after these two years of crazy hard training, he was now able to rival a real jonin, and his purpose in participating in the Chunin exam this time was obviously not simple.

He valued this future daughter-in-law very much and even raised her as his own daughter. He even taught her the stick fighting of their Sarutobi family and instructed her to integrate the sword fighting of the Shimura family with the stick fighting of their Sarutobi family. Her physical skills were very powerful.

But he didn't expect that a mission in the Whirlpool Country would have such a big change, resulting in the loss of all the family elites and even the son being captured.

Izumi Shimura said nothing, but his attitude was very firm.

She had previously asked Uncle Hiruzen to let her go to the Land of Hot Springs to fight against the Cloud Ninjas, but was rejected many times by Uncle Hiruzen.

This time, the Hidden Cloud Village sent people to participate in the Chunin Exam. I must do something and make the Cloud Ninja pay the price.

"Hey! Go back and make preparations."

Seeing the determination of his future daughter-in-law, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed again and gestured to go back and make preparations.

"Thank you, Uncle Ri Zhan."

Izumi Shimura bowed to express his gratitude, then stood up and left.

Since returning to the Land of Whirlpools, she has never returned to the Shimura family, nor has she seen her father.

In her opinion, it was because her father acted on his own and misinterpreted Uncle Hiruzen's intentions that he was surrounded and killed by the Hidden Cloud Village and the Uzumaki clan.

If not for this, the elite troops of the two tribes would not have been robbed, and Shinnosuke would not have been captured.

"Will it be possible to let her take part in the Chunin Exam?"

Sarutobi Biwako walked in, looking worried.

"Although Koizumi has hatred and murderous intent in his heart, he is very calm and knows what to do. This time he will probably only target the Cloud Ninjas and won't touch the Sand Ninja candidates."

Taking a puff of cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen could see the changes in his future daughter-in-law. Originally, after years of his guidance, her personality was suitable for his type, but after the battle in the Land of Whirlpools, her personality became more like Danzo's.

Fortunately, I still remain calm and rational, so there is no need to worry too much.

At this stage, it would be fine as long as we don't target the candidates from the Sand Village. As for the candidates from the Cloud Village, it would be fine to kill them. It would be even better if we can provoke the Cloud Village to start a war.

He has received information that his son was traded from the Hidden Cloud Village to the Hidden Sand Village and is currently being held in the Hidden Sand Village.

In this case, the attitude of the Hidden Cloud Village doesn't matter. Moreover, the Hidden Cloud Village has big problems on the front line. It has not launched a real all-out offensive in two years, and not even many people have died. It seems that it has secretly reached some kind of agreement with the Uchiha who are leading the battle there.

This was not what he wanted to see. He had to find a way to start a real fight there to weaken the Uchiha's strength.

Especially now that their Sarutobi and Shimura clans have lost their elite members, all the major ninja clans must be severely weakened and brought to the same level, so that a balance can be achieved again.

"What should we do about Shinnosuke?"

When I asked about my son, I was very worried about his condition.

"The Sand Village wants to use Shinnosuke as a bargaining chip for post-war negotiations. They won't harm him."

Exhaling the smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very clear about what the Hidden Cloud Village had done and what the Hidden Sand Village was thinking.

The Hidden Cloud Village simply wants to divert trouble away and further drag the Hidden Sand Village into the situation.

The Sand Village wants to use its son as the last bargaining chip, and the situation seems to be pretty good at the moment.

Sarutobi Biwako had a lot more to say, but he suppressed it in the end.

She knew that her husband had been under a lot of pressure in the past two years, not only from outside the village, but also from within the village.

Especially the Whirlpool Country War two years ago caused the complete annihilation of the elite members of the clan who had reached the level of Special Jonin, and even Sun and Moon died on the front line. Now is the weakest time for the clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing. He was indeed under a lot of pressure, and the most important thing to do was to restore the family's high-end combat power as soon as possible.

In his plan for the Whirlpool Country back then, he handed over all the elites in his clan who had reached the rank of Special Jonin and above to Danzo, and then his entire army was wiped out, and their corpses were made into human puppets by the Sand Village.

Although he was angry, he also understood that the dead could not be resurrected. Now he could only find ways to train the next generation, especially those with excellent talents and more than two chakra attributes.

As long as one can cultivate one type of change, one can become a special jonin. If one can cultivate two types, one will have the standard jonin combat power.

Only by restoring the family's strength as soon as possible can his position as Hokage be secured.

Unlike now, the ninjas in the village are all eyeing his position as Hokage and want to replace him through this Ninja World War.

The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are especially keeping the closest eye on them. Even the usually peaceful Hyuga clan has shown some strange behavior in recent years.

Alas! These are troubled times!
Fortunately, that person is still willing to contribute to Konoha, and he can take advantage of the opportunity of this Chunin Exam to intimidate the major ninja villages.

As long as that person is there, the major ninja villages will not dare to start a war with all their strength.

Not to mention the depression of Sarutobi Hiruzen, on the other side, Tamura Hao and others arrived at the port, bought enough fresh fish, salted fish, dried fish and the like for Churyomaru to take back, and then rushed to Konoha.

They need to arrive in Konoha a few days in advance so that they have time to observe Konoha and he can find a chance to contact Lord Danzo.

After traveling all the way like this, they finally arrived in Konoha four days ahead of schedule.

"Konoha, I, Tamura Hiten, am back again!"

Looking at the familiar village gate of Konoha and the Hokage Cliff in the distance, Tamura Hao said to himself in his heart.

When he was chosen by the Root, he knew that he could not stay in Konoha. Now was the time when the fighting between the Hokage and several major ninja clans was the most intense. If he got involved, he would definitely be killed.

So he took the initiative to develop in the direction of a spy, and was eventually trained into a spy and sent out of Konoha and arranged to the Hidden Cloud Village.

Not to mention that the golden finger had not been awakened at that time. Even if it was activated, it would not be easy to survive in Konoha, especially under the command of Lord Danzo. If you perform too well, you may be investigated, or even have your memory searched using illusions.

This is the beginning of hell. You can only go to the Hidden Cloud Village and become a Hidden Cloud Villager.

And now I have finally returned to the place where I was born, but unfortunately my parents have passed away long ago and I don’t have many relatives or friends here.

Yakushi Nono can barely be counted as one, but I don’t know if I can see him this time.

Only after Fukai in front showed his certificate and completed the registration were the few people allowed to enter the village.

Of course, there must be Anbu ninjas watching secretly.

At the same time, their formation had also changed. Tamura Hao was at the end of the team, like a little follower, and the leader was Yeyue Ai, the son of the Raikage.

"Our people haven't arrived yet. It may take another day or two. We have to book a hotel first."

Fukai, who was walking forward, spoke up. He had previously asked the ninja on duty at the gate to confirm that the team of examinees from the Hidden Cloud Village had not arrived yet.

"Has the entertainment city in Konoha been built? It's too small."

Yeyue Ai looked up at the tallest building in Konoha Village. There was a huge sign on it that read Konoha Entertainment City, which could be seen from a long distance.

Ever since the junior fellow apprentice handed in the entertainment city plan, the village has been operating it secretly, and a year ago, entertainment cities had been built in all the major cities within the Land of Thunder.

I didn't expect that there is now one in Konoha. It's really efficient.

However, compared to the entertainment city in their Hidden Cloud Village, this one was much smaller, and even worse than the one in the capital of the Iron Country.

"That one isn't it. That one over there is it."

Fukai pointed to the huge building under construction on the other side. Although it has not been completed yet, judging from the area it occupies, it is several times larger than the Konoha Entertainment City.

Compared to Ye Yueai who devoted himself to cultivation, he had been exchanging letters with Lord Tutai and knew a lot of changes in intelligence.

Especially after Akechi came to Konoha to take part in the Chunin Exam, he specifically asked for detailed information here, which included information about the entertainment city.

"Konoha has also built an entertainment city. Can they compete with it?"

Yeyue Ai grinned and chuckled. He knew very well that the entertainment city’s greatest competitive advantage was its cost-effectiveness. It used various means to reduce all kinds of consumption and waste to a minimum, and even compressed its own profits.

Compared to its huge size, the money earned is really not that much.

If the other party cannot restrain their inner greed and raise prices, or seek profits by reducing costs and quality, they will eventually be eliminated.

"According to intelligence, Konoha Entertainment City was built by a coalition of several ninja clans."

Fukai also laughed. With more parties involved, the profits would be shared, and the proceeds for each party would decrease. How could those people be willing to play this long-term game?
Of course, the main reason why their Cloud Village's entertainment city could start construction in Konoha was because they signed a tax contract with the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion.

Fifty percent of the revenue will be given to the Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Fire. It was established in Konoha with the Daimyo's order. Even if the Third Hokage has an idea, he cannot openly deny or stop it.

The same is true in the Land of Lightning and other countries. They have all signed tax contracts with the daimyo prefecture, which acts as a guarantor and provides land.

In addition, the explanation given to the Daimyo Prefecture of the Land of Lightning was to use this to establish a new intelligence network, otherwise the Daimyo Prefecture would not be able to get through it. The Daimyo Prefecture would not allow a ninja village to have an overly independent economic source.

And they definitely couldn't bring people from the Hidden Cloud Village to establish it here. They had to recruit people directly from Konoha and the Daimyo Prefecture to run it. Their Hidden Cloud Village only sent a small number of people to lead the operation, otherwise they would definitely not be able to pass the Daimyo Prefecture test.

They are not fools. It is impossible for them to let the Hidden Cloud Village send a large number of people over. After all, Konoha is a military organization of the Fire Country, and Konoha will not agree to it.

They opened the entertainment city here just to make money and suppress Konoha from making money in a similar way. There is even a supermarket system inside, which brings together various commodities and uses the means of small profits but quick turnover to suppress prices, thereby squeezing out the shops in Konoha and destroying Konoha's internal economic system to a certain extent.

"Let's go check out Konoha's entertainment city."

Yeyue Ai walked towards the Konoha Entertainment City. As for her own one, it was still under construction and definitely not habitable.

Tamura Hao followed behind like a transparent person and soon arrived at the Konoha Entertainment City. It was very lively inside, but it was much less popular than the Hidden Cloud Village.

Most of the people coming and going were ninjas wearing vests and wealthy businessmen; civilians and Genin were rarely seen.

"From this appearance, we can tell that the cost must be high."

Uzumaki Yuye took a look at the interior layout and the types of guests, and immediately realized that the consumption must be high, otherwise ordinary people would have come here long ago.

"Ah!"

Yeyue Ai and Fukai smiled, knowing that this would happen.

One of the core points of their entertainment city is cost-effectiveness, focusing on small profits but quick turnover, and relying on a huge base to accumulate profits.

Because of this, people from the entire Hidden Cloud Village can afford to spend money there and are willing to spend money there.

Although this approach may be troublesome, it will be beneficial in all aspects.

Konoha is obviously only interested in profit.

"Look for some special delicacies here in Konoha."

Uchiha Hikaru was not interested in the business status of Konoha Entertainment City. She wanted to find some special food here.

Several people had the same idea, so they wandered around the Konoha Entertainment City, but after wandering around for a long time, they felt disappointed.

Although there are many food shops here, most of them are the same as those in the Hidden Cloud Village Entertainment City, and they have already eaten there.

What’s more, the ones here don’t look very authentic. The appearance and taste just don’t seem right.

The remaining food restaurants mostly sell sushi, tempura, ramen, curry rice and the like, which are relatively ordinary.

Tamura Hao also lost interest in this. The food culture in the Naruto world is really ordinary. The only food he is really interested in in Konoha is the legendary Ichiraku Ramen, especially to see whether the Otsutsuki Ichiraku really exists.

Unfortunately, when I was still in Konoha, I wandered around Konoha but couldn't find Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant. I don't know if that noodle restaurant still exists now.

According to the time calculation, he should be just a teenager now. I don't know whether he opened the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant himself or inherited it.

If it already exists, then find a way to develop better ramen and then squeeze it out.

This change will definitely bring in a wave of income from the power of destiny.

"Are you not satisfied with the food here?"

At this moment, a soft voice was heard, and several people turned their heads to see a beautiful woman with red hair. There was a diamond-shaped mark on her forehead and two talismans hanging from her hair.

Behind him was a blonde woman with a fluffy ponytail. Her broad-mindedness made Tiancun Hao take a second look.

"aunt!"

Seeing the person coming, Uzumaki Tamaya called out "Auntie" with a complicated expression.

The person who came was Uzumaki Mito, the wife of the first Hokage. She came over after sensing Uzumaki Tamae's chakra.

Uzumaki Kushina also had a complicated expression, this person was her own aunt.

"Aunt Yuye!"

Senju Tsunade also greeted Uzumaki Tamae, whom she had met several times.

"Tsunade has grown up so much? Has she given up gambling? Does she have a boyfriend? When are you getting married?"

Uzumaki Tamae turned her gaze to Senju Tsunade and asked instinctively, causing Tsunade's smile to freeze instantly, and Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but clench her hands.

She has been troubled by this granddaughter for many years, especially in recent years.

She is already in her twenties, but she doesn't even have a boyfriend. Many girls of the same age would run away from her.

"senior!"

After Yeyue Ai and Fukai understood Uzumaki Mito's identity, they hurriedly saluted and greeted him. He was a super boss and the strongest person in the ninja world at present.

"Thank you for helping the Uzumaki clan back then."

Uzumaki Mito nodded kindly to the two of them. Although that was a plot of the Hidden Cloud Village, they did save the Uzumaki clan, otherwise the Uzumaki family would have been killed and destroyed by now.

As for the hostile relationship between the Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha, he couldn't control it, nor should he control it.

"Seniors, please chat. We won't disturb you."

Yeyue Ai saw that Uzumaki Mito had something to say to Yuye and the others, so she tactfully walked away.

Fukai and Tamura Hao followed quickly. Before leaving, Tamura Hao gave Uzumaki Vanilla a look, asking her to stay.

They didn't care what the two sides would talk about, and Uzumaki Mito was also a smart man. He would definitely not try to win over Uzumaki Tamaya and the others to stay. All they could talk about were some family matters.

Moreover, at this stage, Uzumaki Mito must be feeling guilty towards her mother's family. If the Uzumaki vanilla is left behind, the effect will be better. Maybe that person will give her something as compensation.

The other party will definitely not touch the things of the Senju family, but they must have some knowledge of their own over the years, especially the research on the tailed beasts.

Of course, the other party probably won't give us the research on the tailed beasts, so we can only give us some new research on sealing techniques, which is also good.

Uchiha Guang did not follow. She stared at a young man with a round fan logo on his clothes. He should be a member of that family. It was a good opportunity for her to go over and take a look at the current detailed information of that family.

"I'll take you to a noodle shop. The ramen there is delicious."

Tsunade took the opportunity to run away, she didn't want to face that cousin again.

"I know a paella restaurant that was opened by a master from the Land of Whirlpools. Do you want to go over and have some?"

Uzumaki Mito looked at the three juniors lovingly and invited them to a favorite restaurant.

The seafood rice there tastes very much like home.

“I haven’t had paella for a long time!”

Uzumaki Tamae nodded. Their country of Whirlpool is surrounded by the sea on both sides, and the main source of food is various seafood. Paella is a delicacy made from a variety of seafood.

But she hadn't eaten it for a long time since leaving the Whirlpool Country.

Of course, the main reason was that there were so many kinds of delicious food in the entertainment city of the Hidden Cloud Village that she even forgot her favorite paella. She even gained ten pounds in the past two years, and this was the result of doubling her training.

Seeing that Uzumaki Tamae agreed, Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Vanilla naturally would not refuse. The three of them followed Uzumaki Mito to a restaurant, where a young man was already waiting.

"grandmother!"

Seeing his grandmother coming in, the young man hurried to greet her, and then his eyes fell on the three red-haired women behind them. After seeing Uzumaki Yuye, he was confused and felt that she looked familiar.

"Little Rope Tree doesn't recognize me anymore?"

Seeing the young man, Uzumaki Tamaya smiled.

She had seen the Rope Tree, but at that time it was still very small and even the chakra had not been refined.

Although she looked relatively unfamiliar, after all, she had changed so much, there were not many people who could call aunt "grandma", and considering her age, her identity could be confirmed.

"Are you my aunt?"

After hesitating for a moment, Senju Nawaki was not sure.

He didn't see many relatives with red hair, and only one female one.

"Konagaki is also a ninja now."

Looking at the forehead protector on her nephew's head, Uzumaki Tamaya was very happy about his growth.

"Everyone, sit down!"

Uzumaki Mito gestured to a few people, walked towards a nearby table, and then shouted to the kitchen.

"Boss, give me five servings of paella, large ones."

As members of the Uzumaki clan, even the women have big appetites and small portions are not enough to fill them up.

Uzumaki Tamaba took Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Vanilla to sit down. She sat next to her aunt and asked Kushina and Nawaki to sit opposite them.

He was chatting with Senju Nawashu who was sitting opposite him, and introduced Kushina and Vanilla to Nawashu.

Senju Nawaki was also very curious about these two peers, especially since one of them was his cousin.

Uzumaki Mito sat opposite without saying a word, looking at the two girls lovingly.
