As soon as December came, the whole Konoha was filled with a festive New Year atmosphere. The streets and alleys were selling kadomatsu, mirror cakes and shimen ornaments used for the New Year. People also stayed at home, lit firewood, and enjoyed the long-lost leisure time.
Usually at this time, it was the busiest time for ninjas in winter.
Even in the New Year, the nobles would still tirelessly attack and annihilate their political enemies and wipe out the lowly people who dared to offend them. Out of some kind of bad taste unique to big men, they quite like to create the tragedy of the whole family's demise when the family reunites, and also make the ninjas who are executioners unable to have a good New Year.
However, this year is different from the past. Those who issued tasks in the past have become the prey of ninjas.
Ninjas are not good people in the first place. Seeing that their peers made a lot of money by robbing fat sheep, the rest of them naturally did not want to lag behind and quickly joined the looting team.
Regardless of the clan or village, ninjas from all over the ninja world have joined in. For a time, robbing nobles has become a new fashion trend.
The only way for the nobles to fight back is to issue escort missions and hire ninjas to protect themselves. However, the reality is cruel. Those ninjas who have received money often rob their employers in turn. In the face of huge interests, few people can hold back.
As for the noble sentiment of the ninjas that must complete the task at all costs, in front of the piles of Jinpan and Mishan, the ninjas tacitly threw it into the trash can.
Sometimes they are even surprised at the stupidity of their ancestors. The ninja clans have fought for so many years, to put it bluntly, for money and interests, but everyone fought so hard that they even sent their children to the battlefield. What did they earn in the end? They are so poor that they can't even afford to eat!
Now, just rob a noble, there is food and money, how easy it is, why didn't any ninja think of this earlier?
The collapse of rituals and music is nothing more than this, but for now, it is just the beginning.
The nobles who are busy with their own affairs no longer have the leisure to persecute others, and no one cares about the tasks they have issued. However, although they no longer accept tasks, the ninjas still return with full loads, and learn from ordinary people to enjoy the happy time of family reunion.
The climate in Konoha is so warm and comfortable. Even on the coldest and bleak winter days, it is still warm here. Children chase and play in the streets, and adults watch them play with a smile. There is no need to worry that they will go to the battlefield early, nor do they have to worry about whether they will die in the hands of the enemy tomorrow.
The most worrying thing for ninjas now is what to eat tonight and how to spend this year.
No need to go to the battlefield for the family again, and no need to kill strangers who have never met for the bounty, just guarding the family and quietly warming the fire, such a life is really great!
Not only ninjas, but also civilians have a better life.
The civilians in the ninja world are actually no different from serfs. Their stomachs are empty, and their pockets are even emptier. Just filling their stomachs and keeping their lives has already consumed all their strength.
Usually this time is probably the most painful time of the year for civilians. How to avoid freezing to death or starving to death in the severe cold is their most important task.
But in Konoha, with Uchiha as the leader and Senju following closely behind, now all the major ninja clans are opening up fields and recruiting civilians to cultivate the land. Because the number of ninjas in Konoha is far greater than that of civilians, beggars who are very common in major capitals have completely disappeared in Konoha. No matter how poor a person is, after coming to Konoha, he can always find a job and a place to live.
The daimyo's tax collectors dared not go to Konoha Village to ask for money. The ninjas who were not as cunning as the nobles and made a fortune by robbing the nobles did not want to rob the tenants under their own hands. They exempted various taxes and fees, and the civilians, especially the civilians on the Uchiha clan, gradually had more money in their pockets.
The poorer the people, the more they lacked everything and the more they wanted everything.
The civilians who usually would not go to the shops to spend money, holding the newly exchanged Konoha coins in their hands, rushed into the shops with shining eyes like robbers to pick things, making outstanding contributions to the sales of these shops and the economy of Konoha.
The poor people who had nothing suddenly had money, and they often couldn't control their revenge consumption and bought things they urgently needed, such as bedding, clothes, pots and pans, firewood, rice, sauce and vinegar, furniture and farm tools...all bought!
In the past, the nobles who had a lot of grain in their hands could not eat so much grain and could only let it rot. The nobles who also had a lot of money in their hands alsoThey couldn't buy so many things, at most they could exchange them for gold coins and pile them up at home, which had more ornamental value than actual value.
However, for civilians, these were too far away. It was only during their time in Konoha that they gradually realized that the cruel ninjas like evil spirits were not actually bloodthirsty. When they were not on a mission, most of them were gentle and kind people.
Most of the civilians who came to Konoha were displaced. These people had lived too hard before. As long as there was a little hope, they could survive tenaciously.
And this little hope also made them grateful to the ninjas from the bottom of their hearts and regarded Konoha as their new home.
Senju Tobirama's life was also quite good.
The bills of Konoha, which had always been red, finally showed a natural upward trend, and prices gradually stabilized. Konoha coins were increasingly accepted by people. Even foreign merchants were used to running to the Hokage Building to exchange their supplies and copper coins for Konoha coins as soon as they entered the village, and then doing business with Konoha people.
The surrender speed of the daimyo also exceeded his expectations.
The nobles who have been living in high places for a long time and claim to be descendants of gods actually have no concept of the strength of ninjas. To them, ninjas can throw away their lives just for money, without any sense of justice. They are just tools that can be driven as long as they are paid, and specialize in all kinds of dirty work.
This arrogant and superficial cognition was first easily destroyed by Uchiha Madara with the power of Shura, along with the castle tower and the life of the daimyo. The remaining debris was trampled again and again by the ninjas who were bloodthirsty. Now, together with the arrogance of the nobles, they were directly trampled into the mud by the ninjas.
Perhaps scared away by the tragedies that happened one after another around him, the daimyo took the initiative to propose to allocate a sky-high amount of funding that Tobirama dared not think of before, and took the initiative to request that the ninjas of Konoha form a guardian ninja to protect the daimyo, and swore that the officials of the Land of Fire would never restrict the actions of ninjas from now on.
These conditions were indeed generous, but unfortunately, they were useless in front of Tobirama who wanted to replace him. He tore the peace letter into pieces to prevent Hashirama from seeing it, and then wrote another letter to express that he accepted all the above conditions.
Of course, Tobirama would eat all the benefits sent by the daimyo, but he would never do the daimyo's request to stop the ninja.
After all, he, Senju Tobirama, was also a fierce general who robbed the daimyo nobles.
After writing and sending the letter, Tobirama's frown relaxed, a rare state of relaxation, but soon, he and Shen Yue were troubled by the same problem-
What should be done with the pile of scrap copper and iron made by the daimyo?
In short, no matter who it is, Konoha can have a good New Year this year.
This is also the same for some nobles in the Land of Fire. After all, the ninjas will go home for the New Year, and no one will come to rob them.
....
"Kurouma, Kurama, look at this!"
In the Uchiha clan territory, Shenyue ran into his room excitedly with something in his hand. At this time, Kurama was hiding in the corner pretending to be dead, with nine furry tails covering his face and body, and completely turning a deaf ear to Shenyue's words.
Since being thrown out by Uchiha Madara, Kurama's self-esteem has been greatly hit. The strongest tailed beast has not only become a little girl's pet, but also been treated as garbage by Uchiha Madara again and again!
The most hateful thing is that it can't resist!
"Kurouma, Kurama!"
Seeing that Kurama ignored her, the little girl's sweet voice kept falling loudly beside its big ears, as if you ignore me, I won't stop.
"What are you doing!"
Ku Lama, who couldn't stand the noise at all, raised his head in exasperation, but Shen Yue seized the opportunity to pick him up with both hands and moved him directly to something soft.
"Look at this."
Under Ku Lama was a furry cushion, probably made of wool or something like that, stuffed with fluff, and it felt warm when stepped on.
"Hmph, idiot!"
Lying on the mat without courtesy, Jiu Lama rolled his eyes in a very human way, but the depression that was wrapped around his heart disappeared a lot. His nine orange-red tails swayed happily, but he still said stubbornly as always:
"I am a collection of chakras, so I am not afraid of cold like fragile humans."
Shen Yue looked at it with a smile, stretched out his hand and touched it without courtesy.
After dinner, Jiu Lama lazily lay on the soft mat, pressed his head on his front paws, and watched the family tossing with interest. Shen Yue's clothes that he usually didn't use were now randomly spread out.In every corner of the room, Huo He, who was in charge of picking clothes, was almost dazzled.
Taohua was combing Shen Yue's hair, but the Senju clan, who were too careless, were not suitable for such delicate work. She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead, and she was clumsy. She pulled out several strands of Shen Yue's hair one after another, making Shen Yue tearful. Finally, Huo He, who couldn't bear it any longer, grabbed the comb and rescued Shen Yue and her hair from Taohua's hands.
As he combed, he suddenly felt that Shen Yue's black hair, which was originally a bit like Uchiha Madara's frizzy black hair, had smoothed down without knowing when. Holding it in his hands, it was like a piece of fine silk brocade, and it felt very smooth. Suddenly, it lost the characteristics of their Uchiha clan.
How should I put it, this hair, why does it feel a bit like Senju Hashirama...
Huo He was frightened, and his whole body felt like being struck by lightning. He immediately threw this terrible thought out of the window and concentrated on combing Shen Yue's hair.
Children of the ninja clan naturally don't need to dress up like the noble princesses. They just need to comb their hair slightly and insert the black wood hairpin with rubies diagonally into the slightly rolled up black hair, and they are done.
"Ah, whose child is so cute?"
Looking at her precious daughter who was dressed up and as beautiful and noble as a princess, Taohua was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She looked at Shenyue left and right, and she felt embarrassed.
"By the way, it will be more beautiful with this!"
After saying that, Taohua pinned a pink silk flower headdress into Shenyue's black hair.
.....
Inside the clan leader's house, Uchiha Madara was holding a banknote and flipping it left and right. It was the recently issued Konoha coin.
This light green Konoha coin was as flexible as paper, but not as fragile as paper. The specific amount and Konoha's icon were printed on the banknote. Because it was made of wood escape, it was not only waterproof but also not easy to be damaged.
This newly issued currency, with two as the unit of measurement, is very popular because of its fine workmanship and easy to carry.
"You actually use Wood Release to do this kind of thing."
Uchiha Madara sneered softly, and that laughter was more indulgent than contemptuous.
Of course he knew that this was another trick of Shen Yue. It was obviously just a tiny thing, but there were a lot of such strange but useful ideas. I don't know who he looks like.
Except that he loves to be dazed and distracted, which is very similar to Huo He, Shen Yue is really not like him at all. In terms of personality, he may be more like Izuna.
Thinking of Izuna, Madara was silent for a moment, with a sense of loss and longing in his eyes. Unconsciously, he had been distracted for several hours. It was not until midnight that he came back to his senses. The banknote in his hand had been crumpled into a ball.
Madara, who originally wanted to throw the paper away, paused for a while and stuffed the banknote back into his wallet.
"Master!"
It was just past midnight, and the clan was dark. Only a few houses had lights on. But Shen Yue's voice suddenly sounded from outside the clan's main house. Ban hurriedly walked out of the door, only to find that Shen Yue's family was standing outside.
Not only that, Shen Yue also changed into a beautiful furisode kimono, which was very rare. Even in the dark night, her snow-white skin glowed with a transparent glow.
Shen Yue raised her head, and something was flickering in her beautiful eyes. Her beautiful eyebrows and facial features were set off by a gorgeous pink kimono like bright moonlight. Seeing Ban looking at her, Shen Yue quickly opened her arms and asked for a hug:
"Master, hug!"
Ban picked her up in confusion. It was not the New Year yet, but Shen Yue was dressed so gorgeously, which made him confused -
Is today an important day?
Seeing Uchiha Madara's confused look, Shen Yue rubbed his cheeks affectionately with her rosy face, gently held his shoulders with her two small hands, and her voice was as sweet as if filled with honey, with a very coquettish tone.
"Master, happy birthday!"
Today is December 24th of the sixth year of Konoha, and this day is Uchiha Madara's birthday.
