That's definitely a sign that the world is about to change!

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

Shinji estimates that the plans of the various ninja villages to eliminate cursed spirits may not be as smooth as they were at the beginning.

When enemies also learn to band together for mutual support and are defeated one by one, it will be an absolute catastrophe.

After all, people in different countries are still fighting their own battles and getting bogged down in internal conflicts.

If all of humanity could unite, there would be no need to worry about these cursed spirits causing chaos. But if we wait until that day comes, humanity will probably be close to extinction. It's such a contradiction!

Shinji was powerless and outnumbered. What could he possibly accomplish with those few stinky potatoes (Hidan picks his nose) and rotten eggs (Hidan scratches his head) around him?

He couldn't possibly summon the Allied Shinobi Forces just by talking. At most, he could take advantage of the current situation before it deteriorates, cut down a few more cursed spirits, accumulate some trump cards, and see if he could eventually become invincible and defeat all the cursed spirits.

Inside the new residence.

"Ah Fei, I'm going out for a bit. Stay home and watch the house."

"Understood! I promise I won't let Fei... no, I mean Senior Duan Fei cause any more trouble. Please rest assured and leave it to me."

Ever since Shinji taught him to salute, Afei now makes that gesture every time he pats his chest to assure someone that he's serious.

Of course, only a fool would believe that!

How can Hidan and Tobi, those two chatterboxes with ADHD who can't stay still, possibly behave?

Black Zetsu had already climbed up the Divine Tree to the moon to find his mother!

As for why Afei started calling Duan Fei "Senior Duan Fei," that's another story.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry that he wouldn't be hiding in his room, doing who knows what.

Carrying the black box, they arrived at the makeshift Hokage Building. (You can learn how fast Wood Release can build a house.)

Next to it was a bustling construction site.

Obviously, as the face of Konoha, the Hokage Building cannot be simply made of wood; it needs to be properly rebuilt.

"Are all the people here today lightning-attribute? Why are there so few?"

Upon arriving at a room on the second floor, Shinji glanced at the five or six Konoha ninjas waiting outside and couldn't help but ask a question.

The staff member in charge of this matter rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Lightning chakra is not abundant in Konoha to begin with, and quite a few people died or were injured recently. If it weren't for the Hokage's mandatory order, even those people outside wouldn't have come."

Seeing how easily the other party shifted the blame, Shinji wasn't going to let it go.

"That's all your problem, what does it have to do with me? We agreed to get it done within ten days, but now it's been dragging on and on. Tomorrow is the agreed deadline, and there's still no sign of the Yin and Yang attributes. Do you want me to take out the contract and let you know how much the penalty for breach of contract is?"

"But..."

"Stop pretending with me. If you were even a little more generous, you wouldn't have gone through all this trouble. I gave Konoha 15 million ryo, and how much of that went to these people outside? Is that all the compensation you've given them, like beggars? I wouldn't have come either! Stop blaming everything on that other person, and look for the reasons within yourselves, okay?"

The other person was speechless, their face turning red.

After a long pause, he whispered in protest, "This isn't something I can decide. If you're so capable, go find the Hokage."

"Okay, you're absolutely right! Why would I argue with you? What you say doesn't count."

Shinji picked up the box and left, immediately leaving the other person looking surprised and panicked.

As Shinji continued forward, he was soon stopped by someone.

After explaining his purpose, the ANBU members immediately went in to consult with their superiors before taking him into the Hokage's office.

"Advisor Akagi, what's wrong?"

"I just want to ask about Konoha's credibility. They promised to deliver the chakra attributes I needed within ten days, and we even signed a contract. Now I'm still missing the Lightning, Yin, and Yang attributes. Doesn't the Hokage have to give me an explanation?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave a wry smile; this money wasn't easy to earn.

"Didn't we already agree that we could postpone it for a few days?"

The battle resulted in many deaths and injuries, and afterwards, it was necessary to distribute compensation, rebuild the destroyed buildings, and reserve some manpower to strengthen defenses in case the enemy made a comeback.

There are just too many things to do, so this collaboration with Shinji can be postponed.

Shinji was not a short-sighted person, so he didn't hold a grudge. Therefore, when Hiruzen Sarutobi made the suggestion, he readily agreed.

But he now realizes that once someone gives in, there will always be people who think you're easy to talk to and easy to bully.

"Delay is one thing, but you can't just fool me, can you? We agreed to collect the lightning chakra today, but as soon as I arrived, there were five or six people sitting outside, all looking unwilling. Also, I know that the fifteen million taels can't all be given to those who contributed, but what's the point of not giving a single penny? If it really comes to this, I might as well do it myself, spend less money, do more, and no one will complain."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback at first, then said in surprise, "Not a penny to his name? Impossible! I clearly arranged everything, and everyone's allowance was quite substantial, how could this be..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stopped, because he thought of someone.

"I need to investigate this matter. There might have been some misunderstanding. You can go back and wait for my news."

[Chapter 215. That Night (Bonus Chapter 5/10 for Alliance Leader Nangong Bingz!)]

After Shinji left, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately sent someone to summon Danzo.

Upon meeting, without any preamble, he went straight to the point and asked, "How did you handle the task I gave you a few days ago?"

"what's up?"

"A collaboration with Mizukage consultant Shinji Akagi."

"Ah, I remember now, what's wrong?"

Danzo didn't take it seriously at all, and didn't even consider Shinji Akagi a person to be a threat.

Upon seeing his attitude, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine and began to suspect something.

"How did you arrange it? Didn't you distribute the funds?"

Danzo laughed, "It's just a matter of consuming some chakra, there's no need for so much funding."

"So you're using my name to issue mandatory tasks?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi is truly enraged this time!

He just had someone investigate, and the results almost made him furious!

Danzo, however, didn't seem to care at all. "So what? Didn't you tell me to oversee the arrangements? What's wrong with what I did? The money saved is enough to replace so many pieces of equipment. Besides, I gave them some nutritional allowance as compensation. That's enough..."

"enough!"

Bang!

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his fist on the table, glaring at his old friend, who seemed so unfamiliar to him.

"I haven't even settled the score with you for letting the Root people clean up the battlefield ahead of time and stealing the corpses! And now you're blatantly cutting funds again. Do you really think I, the Hokage, am dead?"

"If you don't die, then I die. Remember to send some powerful guys next time you send someone to kill me. I think Kakashi Hatake, who's been missing for quite a while, would be a good choice. Hokage-sama, do you think I'll run into him on my way back?"

Danzo, you!

The two stared at each other, neither willing to back down.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew he hadn't done it, and even Danzo knew it wasn't him, but that didn't stop Danzo from using it as an excuse to make a fuss.

Or perhaps Danzo was certain he had the other man wrapped around his little finger for life!

"Humph!"

As expected, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally broke the silence with a cold snort.

“From now on, you are no longer responsible for this matter. You have three days to make up for all the money you swallowed, otherwise [Root] will not receive any funding for the next three years.”

Danzo remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.

"Nowadays, the danger posed by cursed spirits is growing, and it's time for us humans to unite. Take a look at this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed inwardly, then spoke earnestly and with a double meaning.

Danzo picked up the plan and glanced at it, his face expressionless, his thoughts unreadable.

What do you think?

"That's wishful thinking; no one will come."

Danzo made a blunt assessment and then threw the item back.

"No, someone will come. At least I have received promises from the Mizukage and Kazekage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, his eyes narrowed.

Danzo finally showed a look of surprise. It wasn't surprising that Kirigakure would agree, but why would Sunagakure agree?

He instinctively felt that something was amiss, that there might be some conspiracy, but he had no evidence, it was just his conjecture, so he simply kept quiet about it.

"With Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and our Konoha, we've gathered three of the five great ninja villages. It would be best if Kumogakure and Iwagakure could come, but it's enough if they can't."

"Hmph, since you've already made up your mind, why are you asking me?"

"What do you think? I'm warning you. If I find out you've done anything funny during the Joint Chunin Exams again, I will not let you off the hook out of consideration for our past relationship!"

A few minutes later, Danzo walked out of the Hokage's office with a very unpleasant expression.

Clearly, this time Hiruzen Sarutobi's threat is no longer just empty talk.

This also made him realize the importance of rights once again.

If he were the Hokage, who would dare to boss him around!

"Just you wait, Hiruzen. Sooner or later, I will take your place and sit in that position. You can't stop me."

. . . . . . .

After Hiruzen Sarutobi personally took over, Shinji finally replenished all the chakra attributes within three days.

Konoha is indeed a large and powerful place. The Yin and Yang attributes, which Shinji considered extremely difficult, were simply taken care of by the three major clans of Ino-Shika-Cho.

The secret techniques of the Nara and Yamanaka clans are all Yin-attribute chakra nature transformations, while the Akimichi clan's Expansion Technique is actually a Yang-attribute chakra nature transformation, so there is no need for medical ninjas to be present.

As for what price Hiruzen Sarutobi paid to get these three families to send people to help, that's none of Shinji's business, since he'd already paid for it.

Therefore, the current progress is as follows:
