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

Who told Lian Ye to be such a big spender?

They can't even imagine the world of the rich...

"Why are you here?"

As Tobirama Senju carried the ingredients into the courtyard, he saw his disciples and looked surprised.

His disciples rarely visited him, only during holidays and festivals.

"Teacher Tobirama." The group quickly greeted him.

"Okay." Tobirama Senju nodded. "You guys wait here, I'll go to the kitchen to put some things away."

He carried the ingredients into the kitchen under the watchful eyes of his disciples.

"The teacher really went to buy groceries," Xiaochun from the next dormitory murmured softly.

The others were utterly shocked.

Although I was mentally prepared, seeing this scene in person still felt unbelievable.

"What do you need me for?"

Soon, Tobirama Senju left the kitchen and came to the yard.

He had already realized that the group was looking for him, not Lian Ye who was lying in the chair sunbathing.

“Teacher Tobirama, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is allocating less and less funding to the village.” Danzo stepped forward to explain the situation.

Tobirama Senju's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, as if he had expected it.

“A few years ago, Daming began to reduce its financial support to the village, but I didn’t expect it to go even further now.”

"Teacher Tobirama, should we go and discuss this with the Daimyo?" Danzo voiced his thoughts.

In his view, only by persuading the daimyo could this matter be completely resolved.

The money Lianye gave us was simply not enough to cover the village's daily expenses. If things continued like this, the village would go bankrupt sooner or later!

If Konoha becomes the first village in the ninja world to go bankrupt.

That would be a huge problem.

At that time, he, as the Hokage, will be held accountable!

"You're the Hokage, you can handle this."

Tobirama Senju offered no useful advice, only this statement.

Now that Danzo is the Hokage, let's leave it to him to handle everything.

He's not the kind of person who clings to power.

Danzo needs to hone his skills to become an excellent Hokage.

Lianye turned her head and looked at Tobirama Senju in surprise. The old man actually told Danzo to handle it himself?

It seems they really want Danzo to be able to stand on his own!

"I understand, Tobirama-sensei." Danzo said earnestly.

He naturally understood the teacher's unspoken meaning: he wouldn't need to ask the teacher about such things in the future.

He is the true Hokage!

"If you understand, then go back." Tobirama Senju nodded in satisfaction.

It's almost lunchtime, and if they don't leave soon, they'll have to stay and have lunch here.

Danzo and the others, upon hearing this, wisely left.

"Oh, right..." Danzo stopped abruptly at the door, turned to look at the person still lying in the sun, "Renya, come with me to see the Daimyo tomorrow."

"Me?" Lian Ye pointed to herself blankly.

"That's right, remember to meet at the office." Danzo said and left without giving him any chance to refuse.

"No way?" Lian Ye sighed helplessly, "I just got back..."

After finally getting a few years of rest, it's time to leave the village and become beasts of burden again.

As Tobirama Senju watched Danzo's departing figure, a look of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Danzo knew he couldn't handle it if he went alone, but taking Renya along was a different story.

They've already learned how to utilize people.

Upon hearing Renya's complaints, Tobirama Senju's lips twitched.

They've been away on vacation for several months; people who didn't know better would think they'd gone off to fight a war.

"Alright, kid, I'm hungry."

Lian Ye rolled her eyes at him, tossed off her sunglasses, and went into the kitchen.

Seeing that he had left, Tobirama Senju picked up his sunglasses, put them on, and lay down on the chair like Renya had done.

Enjoy sunbathing.

This is what retirement life should be like!

Chapter 371 Danzo, say something!

The next morning, in the Hokage's office.

"Danzo, have you figured out how to persuade the daimyo to allocate funds?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked seriously.

"If not, I have a document here."

This concerns the village's funding, so we must be very careful.

Hiruzen was worried that Danzo wasn't prepared, so he wrote a plan last night.

I believe that handing it over to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire will greatly increase the success rate of allocating funds.

Danzo Shimura subconsciously took the document and began to read it.

The above content is about the construction and planning schemes of Konoha Village in recent years, as well as the promises made to the Daimyo.

For example, we could provide the Daimyo with dozens of Jonin to protect his personal safety free of charge.

The guards in Daming Prefecture are now all ordinary people.

If we send ninjas to the Daimyo's residence for free, I believe the Daimyo will definitely agree.

Danzo's eyes lit up, and he felt that Hiruzen's plan was sound.

Having a Jonin serve as a bodyguard for a Daimyo would definitely make him look very prestigious.

He knew very well that what powerful figures cared about most was their reputation.

This would indeed greatly increase the success rate of grant applications...

"Hiruzen, you did a good job." Danzo carefully put away the documents.

What are you talking about?

Just then, Renya pushed open the office door and came in, only to find Danzo and Hiruzen inside.

"Is it just the three of us going?"

“That’s right, the three of us are enough,” Danzo said.

They're just going to the capital of the Land of Fire, not to infiltrate other ninja villages, so there's no need to make a big fuss.

Keeping things simple is best.

If Hiruzen weren't the Hokage's assistant, he would only have asked Renya to come along.

"Renya, don't say anything carelessly when you see a Daimyo!" Hiruzen warned.

Even now, he has not forgotten the scene at the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Lightning.

Lianye was so audacious as to threaten the daimyo.

In their ingrained understanding, one must never offend a great name!

After all, a daimyo controls the wealth of a country, and even powerful ninjas rely on the daimyo's financial support.

Even a bounty hunter like Kakuzu never considered assassinating a daimyo.

Ninjas do not engage in production; they can only earn money by selling their physical labor.

If someone kills the daimyo, the entire country will descend into chaos.

At that time, the ninjas will lose their source of income...

"I know." Lian Ye waved her hand dismissively.

Hiruzen and others exemplify the typical ninja mindset, which led to the weak daimyo living like emperors.

Anyone who breaks free from the constraints of ninja thinking will realize that the daimyo is actually quite useless.

It's basically an ATM.

They have so-called power, but no matching strength.

Such a person would have been dead for a hundred years or so in other worlds.

If the daimyo dies, can't we just replace him with a new one?

Since you've already changed your name, can't you choose a more obedient one?

Lianye plans to go to Daming Prefecture to check on the situation.

Everyone's happy if the daimyo of the Land of Fire obeys.

If they don't listen...

He was about to become an extremely powerful minister.

Danzo gave Renya a meaningful look, as if he had guessed what Renya was thinking.

He had no objection to this.

Ever since that incident in the Land of Lightning, he knew that Renye was different from them.

Lianye gave Raikage a suggestion at the time.

As a result, within a few years, Lei Yin Village began to vigorously develop its economy.

It is important to understand that development requires substantial financial support.

I won't go into the details of where that money came from...

Danzo specifically summoned Renya because of this matter.

Although it was extremely rebellious to have murderous intentions towards the daimyo, he could let Renya do whatever she wanted for the sake of the village.

Everything is for Konoha!

If the truth were to be exposed one day, he would be willing to bear all the blame!

As long as it makes the village better, any means necessary are acceptable.

Using vulgar methods is perfectly acceptable!

"It's getting late, we can set off now." Danzo was the first to leave the office.

Seeing this, Renya and Hiruzen quickly followed.

After traveling all morning, the three arrived at the capital of the Land of Fire.

"Renya, you must not say anything carelessly when you see the daimyo, and you must not be disrespectful to the daimyo!" Hiruzen Sarutobi still reminded Renya with concern.

He felt that it was one thing for Renya to speak disrespectfully to the daimyo of the Land of Lightning, but it was absolutely unacceptable for her to speak disrespectfully to her own daimyo.

The village's development depends on the funding from the Daming government.

If the village accidentally offends the daimyo, it will be difficult for the village to develop in the future.

He was only worried that Lianye would speak rudely, but he never thought that Lianye would dare to attack a daimyo.

It can only be said that this mindset stems from a ninja mentality.
