Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 86: Danzo-sama's memorial service, new home site selection
With the Oto-nin defeated and the Sand-nin fleeing, Konoha emerged victorious.

However, even if they won the battle in the village, they did not gain any advantage. Instead, they suffered many casualties and damaged many buildings.

However, the biggest loss was the death of their supreme leader, the Third Hokage.

So even though they won, Konoha's morale dropped to the lowest point.

The whole village was shrouded in an atmosphere of depression and sadness.

Konohamaru, the grandson of Konoha, was crying inconsolably.

Uzumaki Naruto also had a dazed expression and tears streaming down his face.

The first person to recognize him, and also his third-generation grandfather who loved him the most, is gone!

However, the ones feeling the heaviest right now are the elders of Konoha.

"Danzo is dead too. The entire Root organization has only one survivor."

Mitokado En and Utane Koharu looked at Jiraiya, who was no longer joking but had a serious expression. Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "According to the sole survivor, the Root Organization was wiped out by only one person and a group of puppets. That person wore an Akatsuki uniform, had purple rippled eyes, and could use repulsion and attraction abilities infinitely."

"He first killed Danzo and destroyed the Root organization, then he broke into the Hokage Building and captured Tenzo, stealing the Book of Sealing and some scrolls."

"This person can fly and become invisible. His repulsive force can destroy everything without leaving any trace."

"However, the master of those puppets can be confirmed to be Scorpion of the Red Sand, who destroyed a small country in the past. His puppetry has reached the level where he can control them freely without the need for chakra lines."

"He took the opportunity to steal a large number of corpses, most likely to use them to create puppets."

After Utane Koharu finished speaking, Mitomon En also started to accuse Jiraiya, "Jiraiya, you recruited a disciple outside, and he was the owner of the Sage's Eye, but you didn't report it or bring him back. This led to him joining the Akatsuki organization and joining forces with Orochimaru to launch the Konoha collapse plan, indirectly killing Hiruzen and Danzo. You need to be held responsible for this."

"Hey, hey...don't throw all that dirty water on me."

Jiraiya, who had been looking serious and lost in thought, suddenly frowned and said, "I'm still not sure if that guy is Yahiko. According to the portrait provided by the survivor, his body is covered with black spikes. He might also be a puppet, just similar to my former disciple."

"Besides, the Sand Village was invited here by the old man. Who knew that Orochimaru would disguise himself as the Fourth Kazekage and cooperate with the Akatsuki organization he once joined?"

"Now that things have happened, instead of shirking responsibility, you should quickly elect a new Hokage."

At this point, Jiraiya suddenly gloated: "Danzo is such a bad luck. The old man died in battle. He was once a candidate for Hokage and had a chance to become Hokage again. I didn't expect that he would die with the old man. What a pity."

"Shut up, Jiraiya."

Utatane Koharu scolded him with a frown on her face, then immediately suggested, "You are inextricably linked to this incident. Since Hiruzen and Danzo have both died, you will be the Fifth Hokage."

"No, I'm not interested in Naruto." Jiraiya raised his hand to refuse without hesitation, and gave his own reasons, "According to my investigation, the Akatsuki organization's target is actually the tailed beasts and the Jinchūriki. This time they invaded Konoha and exposed the trump card of the Sage's Eye in advance, but they didn't take the opportunity to take Naruto away. Instead, they set their sights on the Book of Sealing and the Root Organization. This is really weird."

"If it really is the Eye of the Sage, that survivor wouldn't be able to survive. He must have been deliberately left alive. According to the information provided by the survivor, it seems that Danzo and the demigod of the Hidden Rain Village had planned something, which led him to come here today for revenge."

"If it's just revenge, then why did he reveal that Akatsuki's territory is in the Hidden Rain Village?"

Upon hearing this, Utane Koharu and Mitomon En's eyes suddenly flashed: "Are you saying that he did it on purpose?"

"Perhaps, or perhaps they really haven't found the survivor." Jiraiya was unsure and said, "That's exactly why I'm going to continue investigating. This Akatsuki organization, with so many S-rank rebel ninjas and even suspected of possessing the Sage's Eye, is truly too dangerous."

"The task of investigation can be handed over to the Anbu." Utane Koharu said solemnly, "Konoha cannot be without the Hokage. No one other than you is suitable to be the Godaime."

"Who said that?" Jiraiya smiled meaningfully, "Isn't there still one of the legendary Three Ninjas?"

"You mean..."

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu both widened their eyes.

"Ah...that woman is more suitable than anyone else. After all...she is the Princess of Konoha."

Jiraiya convinced the two elders.

……

The next day, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled.

Soon, it started to rain lightly.

The ninjas of Konoha all wore black long coats and trousers today, and held a bouquet of white chrysanthemums to attend the memorial service for the ninjas who died in battle.

Even many villagers went there spontaneously.

On the table covered with white chrysanthemums, there were a large number of portraits, two of which were enlarged versions and placed at the top in the most conspicuous position.

The rain suddenly became heavier, as if God was crying for these heroes.

The atmosphere should have been sad and heavy, but after Izayoi presented the white chrysanthemums, she almost couldn't help laughing when she saw the portrait of Shimura Danzo, who turned from dark to bright after his death, placed next to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Izayoi quickly suppressed this impulse, made a gesture of worship with both hands, closed his eyes and said to himself: "Rest in peace, Danzo-sama, I will make the Root Organization great again!"

Immediately, Izayoi returned to the team with a tense and expressionless face.

The rain slid down his face, as if mixed with tears.

There were also a large number of ninjas with the same expression as Izayoi.

But more often they cry quietly, or cry loudly, or shed tears silently...

Most of these people have been baptized by the Will of Fire, or they are new generations and ordinary ninjas who have not yet experienced darkness and have not seen the dirty side of the village.

The memorial service ended after half an hour of rain.

At the same time, it also announced the official end of the era of the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura's rule.

When the Fifth Hokage takes office, Konoha will enter a new era.

In the words of Orochimaru, the windmill of Konoha, which has been stationary for many years, is finally about to turn again.

The top leaders and the Fire Nation will be very busy in the future.

Not only does he have to clean up the mess, but he also has to search for Orochimaru and the Sound Village, and deal with the relationship between the Wind Country and the Sand Village. There will definitely be a lot of negotiations next.

After all, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki of the Sand Village, the children of the Kazekage, and a considerable number of Sand Ninjas were all sealed and imprisoned.

Jinchūriki is a strategic weapon, and the Sand Ninjas who can participate in Konoha's collapse plan are all elite ninjas of the Sand Village.

No matter what, the Sand Village will never give up.

Konoha and the Sand Village, which had lost the Five Kage at the same time, could not afford the cost of going to war, otherwise their combat power would be exposed, which could cause the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War at any time.

So they could only finalize the 'price' through negotiation.

Izayoi was not interested in such political events.

He didn't even have time to sort out the gains from the Konoha collapse plan.

After the rain stopped, he began to look for a new home. Since his old home was destroyed, Izayoi did not plan to rebuild it.

He plans to buy land and build a big house.

Without the threat of Lord Danzo and having become the future star of Konoha, Izayoi was no longer afraid of anyone asking about the source of his wealth.

Without evidence, no one dares to provoke a powerful ace fighter.

And Izayoi has the Hyuga sisters as cover.

"Onii-chan, now that we have lost our house, where are you going to live next?"

The Hyuga sisters followed Izayoi, and Hanabi said, "The hotel is too small and the price is too expensive. Why don't you move to Hanabi's house?"

"Yes, Izayoi-kun, why don't you move to my house and I will convince father." Hinata agreed softly.

Hearing this, Izayoi felt a little moved.

But thinking about seeing Hyuga Hiashi's zombie face every day and being looked down upon by the Hyuga clan every day, Izayoi suddenly felt a chill and got goosebumps.

He shook his head and teased Hinata, "No thanks. Now is not the time for a house visit."

Hinata, knowing what he was talking about, blushed immediately and stopped insisting.

Moreover, if a boy suddenly moves into a girl's house, especially the daughter of a wealthy family, he will be greatly criticized even if he is a future star with a bright future.

Although Izayoi often teased her, asking if she wanted to support him, Hinata knew that Izayoi was actually very proud and definitely didn't want to be looked at that way.

"Damn you Sand and Sound Ninja! My hot spring resort was just built! I only dug two wells, and it's already been destroyed before it even opens. I took out a loan to invest this, and it's ruined now!"

At this moment, a burst of crying reached the ears of Izayoi and the other two.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a middle-aged man in a black suit, who was obviously from another place in the past two days. He was kneeling in front of a ruin and crying like a child.

Hearing his words, Izayoi's eyes lit up.

Immediately, under the surprised gazes of passers-by, Izayoi's figure floated into the air and flew above the street. He looked at the ruins in front of the middle-aged man and measured the area of ​​this hot spring hotel that had not yet opened.

After a while, a hint of joy appeared on Shizai's face.

Floating down from the sky to the middle-aged man, Izayoi looked at the stunned middle-aged man and asked with a smile, "Are you interested in doing business? I'm very interested in your hot springs."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Looking at this obviously extraordinary young man, the middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Hinata, go to Ino's flower shop and ask Ino for help. Ask her to..."

Izayoi leaned close to Hinata's ear and whispered instructions.

Hinata listened quietly, then nodded seriously: "I understand, Izayoi-kun."

After Hinata left instantly, Izayoi smiled at the middle-aged man and said, "Let's go to the Hokage Building."

Konoha is the military base of the Fire Nation, and its relationship with the Fire Nation is one country, one village.

If you want to transfer land, you must obtain the consent and witness of the village.

Izayoi didn't know the price of the land, but he didn't want to suffer a loss, so he planned to ask a member of the Yamanaka clan for help to avoid being cheated by this middle-aged man.

After all, all businessmen are dishonest, and this is true in every world.

"No problem." The middle-aged man agreed readily, obviously wanting to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.

Even if his business was damaged, the village would give him some compensation, but it would still take a lot of time to repair it and open the business.

During this period, the compounded interest was definitely far more than the village’s compensation.

Now that there is someone willing to take over, middle-aged people are more than happy to do so.

When Izayoi and the other two arrived at the Hokage Building, Hinata also came over quickly.

Beside her was Yamanaka Ino.

"Izayoi, sure, you actually want to buy a hot spring resort. When did you become so rich?" Yamanaka Ino teased.

"It's a loan, but you have to pay it back later." Izayoi glanced at Hinata and created an illusion for Yamanaka Ino.

"I really envy your relationship. I don't know when I will be able to be like this with Sasuke-kun." Yamanaka Ino was not surprised, but just sighed slightly.

Hinata smiled shyly and did not attack Yamanaka Ino.

According to her observation, Uchiha Sasuke had no interest in women at all.

If he wasn't a man, Hinata would even be hostile to him.

This guy was sometimes even more clingy than her and Hanabi.

After chatting for a few words, Yamanaka Ino said to the middle-aged man next to him: "Uncle Yusuke, thank you for your help."

"It's just a small matter." Yamanaka Yusuke nodded with a smile.

Under the watchful eyes of two girls wearing green vests and with obvious identities, and knowing that these people were from important backgrounds, the middle-aged man did not dare to cheat at all and quickly transferred the land of the hot spring hotel to Shizai for 66.66 million taels.

The land was definitely not worth the price, and Izayoi would have to bear part of the middle-aged man's losses.

After signing the contract and getting the new land deed from the village, Izayoi was very happy and wanted to treat Yamanaka Ino and Yamanaka Yusuke to dinner.

The latter chose to refuse, but the former readily agreed.

The weather is cooler now, which is perfect for hot pot.

So the four of them came to the hot pot restaurant. While the three girls were ordering food, Izayoi took out a map of Konoha, circled the location of the hot springs with a pen, and then circled several nearby houses.

The hot spring resort has a good area, and it is enough to build a house twice as big as his hometown, but Shizayoi is still not satisfied.

He wanted to build a bigger new home with not only a hot spring but also a large yard and a large house.

So in the next few days, Shizayoi visited every household and successfully bought the land of those houses with a price they could not refuse.

Including the hot spring resort, Izayoi's total expenditure this time was a full 280 million ryo.

After all, it is impossible to buy things from the hands of Konoha's troublemakers without spending some money.

After buying the land, Shizai hired a professional team to help him measure the land area and then began to draw the design.

Once Izayoi is satisfied with the design and it is completely finalized, work can begin.
