Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

"Hmph, they have money but don't know how to give the village some financial support." Shimura Danzo sneered. "The village is almost starving these days!"

Recently, the Fire Country Daimyo has been providing less and less financial support to Konoha.

After deducting daily expenses, the village now has very little money left.

It can be said that income and expenditure are balanced.

If any unexpected event occurs, Konoha Village will face a bankruptcy crisis!

He came here intending to discuss this matter with Tobirama-sensei, and coincidentally, Koharu and the others were in the office, so he came along with them.

"Is the village treasury out of money?" Lianye asked, puzzled.

He recalled donating a large sum of money to the village every month, but now Danzo said the village was running out of money.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case.

With the support of the Fire Country Daimyo and his gratuitous donations, the village's accounts should be quite well-funded.

At least we won't starve!

There must be a problem somewhere!

Since it's not my problem, then it must be...

"Danzo, you can't have embezzled, can you?" Renya looked at the group with a serious expression. "Or rather, all of you have embezzled!"

It seems he's discovered the truth!

If these high-ranking and powerful people don't embezzle, wouldn't they be wasting their positions?

Sure enough, all these corrupt officials know is how to embezzle!

Although he was also a Hokage advisor, he never participated in their discussions.

So much so that they didn't take themselves with them when they embezzled!

"Lian Ye, what do you mean?!" The group instantly bristled.

No one can tolerate being unfairly blamed.

Besides, Tobirama-sensei is still inside the house.

If the teacher believed Lianye's rumors, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Alright, stop pretending to be innocent. Uncle isn't home," Lian Ye said in a low voice as she approached the group.

"Tell me the truth, how much did you actually embezzle?"

He estimated it must be a huge sum of money, otherwise the village wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.

Now, all we can do is advise them to honestly hand over the embezzled funds.

Otherwise, it will become a big deal if it gets to the older man.

"Who can be without fault in this world?" Lian Ye didn't notice the increasingly grim expressions on their faces and said to herself, "As long as they can correct their mistakes in time, that's fine."

He didn't want them to continue down this path of delusion, otherwise it would inevitably lead to disaster, and they would truly have to spend the rest of their lives in Konoha Prison.

That will definitely make headlines and become a huge topic of discussion.

Lian Ye had already come up with excuses for how several people would fall from grace.

The Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura; Hokage Assistant, Hiruzen Sarutobi; and three Hokage advisors, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Kagami Uchiha.

An investigation revealed that all five individuals had lost their ideals and beliefs, betrayed their original aspirations and mission, and embezzled public funds to enrich themselves, seriously violating the Will of Fire of Konoha!

Then he was imprisoned in Konoha Prison, where he sang "Tears Behind Bars" while holding onto the bars.

Oh right, there's a missing part: a confession.

"I'm so afraid of being poor... I dare not spend a single penny... I really regret it..."

"Enough, Renya!" Danzo sternly interrupted Renya's reverie.

"Don't slander us! We haven't engaged in corruption!"

“That’s right, Danzo is right!” the others echoed.

From a young age, they harbored a burning will and were single-mindedly focused on making the village a better place.

It's simply impossible to do such a thing!

Lian Ye's words were utter slander.

It is a slander against their character and the Will of Fire!

"Tsk, that's the kind of talk they use before something happens. But once something really happens, it's all over."

Lian Ye curled her lip, not believing a word they said.

Don't be fooled by their righteous and indignant appearances now. If something really happens one day, you'll see that their previous demeanor was just a facade.

After all, what bad person would admit to being a bad person?

The people present: "..."

This guy seems to have a serious misunderstanding about them!

No matter how they explained, it was to no avail.

He was inexplicably accused of embezzlement.

I should have known better than to come here with Danzo.

The group felt like they'd been screwed over.

"Renya-kun, why do you think we embezzled?" Koharu Utatane felt very wronged.

Her position as Hokage advisor was merely nominal; she held no real power whatsoever.

Even if someone were to embezzle, it wouldn't be my turn.

Her gaze fell on Danzo, Hiruzen, and Kagami.

All three of them wield real power, making them the most likely candidates for embezzlement!

“That’s right, Renya-kun!” Mitokado Homura pushed up his glasses. “Koharu and I are neither powerful nor influential, and we don’t meet the criteria for embezzlement at all.”

He does not mean that.

The three of them couldn't sit still any longer; this guy had actually been cleared of suspicion.

"Yan, you can't shift the blame to us!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said unhappily.

“That’s right, we could never do such a thing!” Uchiha Kagami agreed.

"Enough, all of you, be quiet!" Shimura Danzo stopped the argument.

"If there was no embezzlement, how could the village be starving?" Lian Ye curled her lip.

In his view, such a situation would not have occurred if the village had not been infested with termites.

"Let me reiterate, I did not embezzle!" Danzo stared directly at Renya. "As for why the village is starving..."

P.S.: I don't owe many chapters anymore, so I can usually update twice a week next month, and occasionally even three times, hehehe...

Chapter 370 Went to Buy Groceries

"The amount of funding the Fire Country Daimyo is giving to the village has been decreasing over the past few months."

Danzo explained in a deep voice the daimyo's recent actions.

The village wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for a significant reduction in funds.

He came here to find Tobirama-sensei because he didn't know how to solve the problem.

Who knew that after only a few words, Lian Ye would accuse them of embezzlement.

"The Daimyo of the Land of Fire?" Ren Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone turned unfriendly.

Does the daimyo of the Land of Fire not know the miserable state of his fellow daimyo of the Land of Lightning?

They even dared to withhold funds allocated to the village...

Regarding the allocation of funds, Tobirama Senju had already reached an agreement with the daimyo when Konoha was founded.

The daimyo is responsible for funding the development of Konoha, while Konoha Village protects the safety of the Land of Fire.

As a result, when the war ended, the daimyo forgot their roots.

It seems he wants to suffer the same fate as the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning...

Keep in mind that the person who gave the advice to Raikage was still present.

Perhaps his old age has clouded his judgment, and he can no longer see the situation clearly.

It might be necessary to change the name.

"What do you plan to do?" Lian Ye asked softly.

“I didn’t know, so I came to find Tobirama-sensei,” Danzo said.

His idea was to personally go to the daimyo's residence and negotiate with the daimyo to increase financial investment in the village.

But we need to consult Tobirama-sensei's opinion before we can do that...

Having just become Hokage, there are naturally many things I need to ask my teacher for advice on.

"Then wait a moment, Uncle will be back soon." Lian Ye lay back down on the chair to bask in the sun.

Since that old bastard Tobirama Senju is here, he doesn't need to worry about this matter.

If all else fails, just change to a more obedient name.

For ninjas, aren't rich people without power just lambs to the slaughter?

"Renya, do you know what Tobirama-sensei went to do?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked curiously.

The teachers are all retired, why are they still running around?

Of course, he wouldn't dare ask such a question directly; he could only try to find out information indirectly.

All eyes turned to Lian Ye, waiting for his explanation.

It's possible that Tobirama-sensei was secretly researching powerful ninjutsu!

The group of people, who were lost in thought, froze on the spot when they heard what Lian Ye said next.

"Going to buy groceries."

"Buy...buy groceries?!" Xiaochun from the next dormitory looked incredulous.

Renya actually asked Tobirama-sensei to go grocery shopping.

That's so rude!

The key point is that the teacher actually went!

"Hehe, you and your teacher have a really good relationship." Uchiha Kagami smiled.

Everyone nodded subconsciously; Jing was right.

—Their relationship is almost too good to be true!

Clearly, they didn't know the specifics of Lian Ye's family situation, otherwise they wouldn't have looked so shocked.

"It's just going to buy some groceries," Lian Ye pouted. "Why are you all making those faces?"

At home, that old man not only has to buy groceries, but also wash the dishes in the kitchen after meals.

By the way, he's also the one who does the cleaning now.

As for milk and experiments, Renya could eat Senju Tobirama for a lifetime.

I'm already being very generous by only asking him to do these small things.

The group fell silent upon hearing this.

That's true, but is it really appropriate to let someone as important as Tobirama-sensei go grocery shopping?

They could already picture the teacher haggling with vegetable vendors at the market.

I don't dare to think about that scenario.

Well, it's also possible that Tobirama-sensei never haggles when buying groceries.
