Konoha: Starting from Refining Dragon Bloodline

Chapter 127 The Forked Road of Shattered Thoughts

Chapter 127 Broken Ideas, Forked Roads

"First thing, I officially declare that the Second Ninja War is over."

Sarutobi Hiruzen solemnly announced, his voice loud and clear.

The first thing he announced as Hokage was the end of the Second Ninja War, which lasted ten years.

Thunderous applause broke out at the scene, and some old ninjas even cried with joy.

The war is finally over.

Then came some matters that should be dealt with by the victorious country, such as the war reparations from the Kingdom of Wind, and the ransom from Sunagakure's top executives Chiyo and Ebizo.

These are what Sarutobi Hiruzen is worried about, and of course Yayoi is also very concerned because he owns 70% of the money.

According to the wartime incentive policy, the amount of money in exchange for capturing Sunagakure's elders and even Kazekage alive would be enough for an astonishing 70% ratio.

This is to stimulate the morale of one's own ninjas. Of course, if someone does it, it will not be a loss. The benefits brought to Konoha by capturing the opponent's senior elders alive cannot be measured by money.

"I propose one billion!"

Tsunade directly raised her hands to vote.

This is Chiyo, the elder of Sunagakure and not just an ordinary elder, he is definitely the strongest and most powerful elder.

Coupled with Sunagakure's intelligence chief Ebizo, these two people must be replaced even if Sunagakure empties his fortune.

Otherwise, without these two people, Sunagakure's intelligence and medical care would have to regress for at least ten years.

Tsunade had fought against the opponent before and knew how difficult Chiyo was, so she felt that one billion was not too much at all.

"Is it too much? Sunagakure won't be able to take it out."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little moved when he heard Tsunade's words, but at the same time he was worried about whether Sunagakure's experience was enough.

You must know that this is not a simple number, one billion. Konoha can only barely scrape together one billion in funds now.

How could a defeated country like Sunagakure have so much money?

"Old man, do you care about them?"

"Kill him without taking money, and directly drain Sunagakure's intelligence line."

Tsunade said very forcefully, and this aggressive look made Jiraiya on the side dare not say a word.

Orochimaru also fell silent when he saw Tsunade like this.

It’s good to have a powerful apprentice. It would be great if Yayoi-kun was his apprentice.

This amount of funds will definitely be able to be used by Yayoi-kun for a long time.

Orochimaru was drooling with envy, wishing he could wait for the money to go directly to Yayoi's laboratory to use resources.

Tsunade, on the other hand, is extremely tough. This is the person who was arrested by the disciples she taught. As a master, she also has an honor in front of the older generation of ninjas.

After all, the apprentice's prowess also illustrates the master's teaching ability. At this moment, Tsunade felt that she was too strong.

And the identity of the Yayoi Senju clan is not a secret.

In this wave, it is our duty to rebuild the glory of Thousand Hands.

Tsunade felt that the Senju clan was rising.

Although the Senju clan has been disbanded by grandpa, there are still many talents, including Yayoi, a strong person who reached the shadow level before the age of fifteen, which can be regarded as an illustration of the glory of the Senju.

"Okay, Sunagakure's envoy will arrive soon, and then Tsunade, you will be responsible for the negotiations."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled helplessly when he saw Tsunade's complacent look, and waved his hand to indicate that he would not care about the matter and let her figure it out.

The next step is to express some praise for the baptism of the will of fire by all the jounin.

After that, most of the jounin also dispersed, leaving only a few jonin.

Yayoi also agrees that this is a matter of reward based on merit.

"Yayoi, you have the greatest credit this time. If you need anything, just tell me. As long as it does not harm Konoha, the old man will still support it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, Yayoi just nodded with a smile.

As long as you participate in the wood escape experiment, you cannot use this excuse to read any forbidden information.

Now I only like those few things in Konoha.

"The same goes for Homura and Rin. If you have any secret techniques you want in the seal scroll, just tell me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the two women beside Yayoi and smiled gently.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Homura still nodded gently, and Rin still had an expressionless face.

"Minato, you have worked hard. You have contributed a lot to this war. Is there any secret technique you want?"

After Sarutobi Hiruzen made promises to many people, he also looked at Namikaze Minato with yellow hair and a gentle smile on his face, like a little sun.

"The Third Hokage, this is what I should do."

When Minato heard Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly calling him, he immediately became serious and said very seriously.

"Of course I know, but you also need strength. If you need any ninjutsu, just ask.

This may speed up your growth and better protect the village."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, a smile appeared on his face, he was very optimistic about Minato.

It has a strong will of fire, like a little sun.

It is not a cold sun like Yayoi, but a warm sun that can unite others.

"I want to redeem the Flying Thunder God Technique."

After thinking for a moment, Minato said firmly.

He had been considering this access control technique for a long time and felt that it might be a good fit for him.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique is a very difficult forbidden technique. Are you confident?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also paled after hearing about Flying Thunder God.

This is a forbidden jutsu. You must know that the reason why forbidden jutsu is called a forbidden jutsu is because practicing this kind of ninjutsu involves great risks.

Moreover, Flying Thunder God is the second generation of his own teacher's famous ninjutsu, and he plays a very important role in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.

"I look forward to your future."

Seeing Minato's firm eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile, looking at Minato with eyes full of expectation.

"I will definitely live up to Hokage-sama's expectations."

Minato couldn't help but clench his fists and secretly made up his mind.

Little did he know that when Yayoi's eyes gradually turned golden when she saw this scene, she felt a wave of emotion in her heart.

Yayoi had an impression in her heart that Namikaze Minato would become the Fourth Hokage, and the Third Hokage would choose him over Orochimaru.

He thought that things would change this time because of his changes.

But unexpectedly, nothing changed.

Yayoi was very sure that he saw the expectation in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes. It was the expectation and some strong emotion that Orochimaru and he had never received.

Yes, Yayoi had already seen it.

It seems that it is really useless whether a person's military exploits are great or not. If you want to become Hokage, you need the support of Konoha's top management.

Yayoi originally thought that she might be able to take office with her strong military exploits, numerous supports, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's final heroic spirit, but Yayoi understood after seeing the hopeful look in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes towards Minato.

Perhaps this is just an illusion brought about by his influence in Kassel and his expansion in strength.

The benefits brought by successfully becoming Hokage were completely reduced by the obstruction of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo.

And he has always ignored a question, how could Sarutobi Hiruzen abdicate at his peak!

Combined with the plot that has become clearer in memory due to evolution, it seems that Yayoi also understands something.

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen chose Minato may be because he was just choosing another him.

He wants to hold on to power longer and revel in his past glory.

That's why after he was no longer at his peak, he abdicated to support a Hokage like Minato who was relatively obedient to him.

In this way, it will become increasingly difficult for me to take office.

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi is now in his prime, and the war has just ended. Unless Hiruzen Sarutobi commits a major dereliction of duty, it will be difficult.

He didn't want to waste time on this meaningless fight. At this moment, Yayoi suddenly had no interest in Konoha and the position of Hokage.

His thoughts bifurcated in an instant and he chose another path.

As for Konoha, all the previous short-term plans were abandoned, and they only needed to use this short period of time to squeeze out the last value of Konoha to themselves.

Thinking of this, Yayoi looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with increasingly cold eyes.

Unless within these short few years, Yayoi can obtain the results of Hashirama cells and senjutsu, then her strength will be in place.

We also need the support of the Uchiha, Hyuga, Senju and other families. The general trend is that the yellow robe will be added.

Otherwise, Naruto is just wishful thinking!

Quietly wait for the end of merit-based rewards.

Sakumo left first, and Minato also left with Sarutobi Hiruzen's promise. Only Akimichi Kaifu, the Sannin and Yayoi were left in the conference room.

I have said many times that the protagonist will dismount Sarutobi Hiruzen. This is just a temporary idea and will change later.
