Chapter 99 Keeping a big name will only make your food more expensive!
The Tsuchikage succession ceremony ended in the most outrageous way in history.
Ohno Muqi suffered from back pain and retired at home to recuperate.
The Iwagakure Village suffered a lot of damage to its infrastructure. In addition to the glass products in the entire village being shattered by the explosion, the buildings near the epicenter of the explosion also suffered minor damage.
Although it is not going to collapse, it will definitely need major repairs.
Kakuzu, who was far away in the Land of Earth's Brilliant Stone Castle moving the vault, suddenly had a telepathic connection and felt a sudden sense of emptiness in his heart.
Then he looked up in the direction of the Hidden Rock Village. For some reason, he felt like something was leaving him...
"Well, it must be an illusion. I have so much money, what else can be taken away from me, haha!"
◎
Iwagakure Village, Tieyan Mountain.
Bang!
Deidara was twisted by the clone's backhand and kicked into the cell, then the door was slammed and locked.
"Iron Mee! A mere clone treated me like this, are you tired of living? Huh!" Deidara was thrown to the ground with his hands tied behind his back. He twisted his body and stiffened his neck and said indignantly.
boom!
The clone grabbed the iron railing with both hands and leaned his head over. His eyes were bloodshot and there was no light in them, only murderous intent:
"Three years! Do you know how I spent these three years?
How dare you, how dare you clear all the favorability points I have accumulated for three years! How dare a mere entity do such a heartless thing! ! "
Thinking back on the past three years of hard work, the clone couldn't help but shed tears.
Although his main job is to develop technology, improving favorability has become his second favorite thing to do in the past three years, just like playing a development game in his spare time.
But in the end, this damn original body destroyed all the favorability he had accumulated in just one day.
Poor him, he was so absorbed in his research that he didn't even know what was going on. As soon as he went out, the villagers avoided him. If they got too close to him, they would have a mental breakdown and sit on the ground, shouting "Don't come over here——"
……
"Huh? Who cares about them? Those bastards who blasphemed art should be baptized by art! Hmm!"
Deidara got angry when he thought about it. How could they enjoy watching such inhumane things as cyber fireworks? How could it be as good as his explosion art?!
The clone was in a lot of trouble and said disdainfully:
"Anyway, you should just reflect on yourself here, you have a brain full of bomb cells! Really, you just became the Tsuchikage, and your first move is to go to jail. You are amazing!"
The clone cursed, put on the Tsuchikage's divine robe and hat, and left.
Damn the original body, forcing his scientific research clone to go into politics.
Fortunately, the clone can also clone itself and share some of the pressure, but the accumulated fatigue will eventually be attributed to the original body, which can be regarded as the retribution of the original body.
"Hehehe, Lord Yondaime~" As soon as the clone left, Lao Da came over with a group of jailers.
He looked at her as if he had seen his idol, his eyes full of admiration.
Deidara was silent, then looked at them with a sinister look in his eyes: "When I came in just now, I seemed to see a sign saying something like "Exclusive cell for the Fourth Hokage", right?"
Lao Da nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice:
"Yes, yes! Lord Yondaime, you don't know, ever since everyone heard that this cell was the one you had been in, our performance has been rising rapidly. They all want to experience the cell that the Yondaime had been in, but unfortunately they were unlucky and didn't get to stay in your cell, because it just so happened that you were here, hahaha~"
"Iron Mee!" Deidara wanted to hit someone after hearing that.
Fortunately, he held back and asked again, "Something's wrong. I've already blasted these bastards like this, why do they still want to go to the same jail where I went?"
Logically speaking, the correct reaction of these villagers would be to beat him up.
Lao Da smiled awkwardly: "You are joking, Mr. Fourth, there is no shortage of masochists in this world..."
Damn, it’s even more creepy when I hear this!
Deidara waved his hands and said, "Go away, go away. I don't want to see you. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will be unable to resist and blow up both you and the cell when I get out. Hmm!"
Lao Da nodded and bowed: "Okay, then we won't bother you anymore!"
After saying that, the laoda brought a group of prison guards to stand at the iron railing door and took a photo with the fourth generation. After taking the photo, they ran away, and a group of people scattered.
Deidara: "..."
◎
The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.
Tsunade sat on the sofa in the living room, with two old Bidens who were very difficult to kill on her left and right.
Utane Koharu and Mitomon En.
Opposite them is the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
"Regarding the military budget for next quarter, I think I have made it very clear. What's wrong with cutting it by 50%?"
creak!
Tsunade clenched her fists and wanted to hit someone!
"A 50% cut is too much, anyway. Konoha has already been badly damaged, and now it has not recovered and military spending has been cut. If this continues, Konoha will always be at the bottom of the five major ninja villages. How can we guarantee the safety of the Land of Fire?!"
pat!
The daimyo unfolded his folding fan, covered his lips with a smile that was not in his heart:
"Five-Day Hokage, you are joking. Now is a peaceful time and there will be no war, so it is reasonable for me to cut military spending. Why do you mind so much? Could it be that you have developed other intentions?"
At the end of his words, the daimyo's eyes revealed an undisguised expression of fear.
The fate of the daimyo of the Water and Earth countries is still vivid in people's minds, and the daimyo of the Fire Country cannot help but be afraid.
So he took advantage of the time when Konoha Village was at its weakest and desperately cut military spending, trying to prevent Konoha Village from recovering. At the same time, he also expanded the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.
A large number of lawful wandering ninjas were hired from other places, and the twelve warriors were trained into the 108 guardian ninjas.
Now, while the Daimyo and the Hokage are talking, the 108 warriors are squatting at the door, ready to rush in at the slightest sign of trouble.
Tsunade was helpless.
Her ancestors had always been clean, but because of what the other two ninja villages did, Konoha Village was forced into misfortune.
"Your Majesty, Konoha's loyalty to you is evident to all! The situation in the ninja world is changing rapidly. If we don't increase military spending soon, we will not have enough military resources to fight against Iwagakure or other ninja villages in the future! Your Majesty, please think twice before increasing Konoha's military spending!"
Tsunade stood up and bowed deeply.
Daimyo was unmoved, he snapped his folding fan shut, stood up and snorted: "Since I have made this decision, I will not take it back, give up! This matter is settled."
"Your Highness, you can't do this. You will regret it!"
"Enough! I am the daimyo!" Daimyo was very angry and slammed the door and left.
boom!
The living room returned to silence.
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other, then nodded, and the two old Bidens began to attack hard inside.
"Tsunade, look at what you have done as a Hokage, you are such a failure!"
"That's right. You actually made the Daimyo cut Konoha's military spending by 50%. This responsibility is entirely yours!"
"Yes, your performance has disappointed us. We now require that we send someone to the Anbu to supervise your work!"
"We are not here to interfere with the control of the Anbu. Our main purpose is to monitor your every order in a timely manner and correct any inappropriateness. Otherwise, if you continue to do whatever you want, I'm afraid that only one-third of the military budget will be left for next year!"
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En talked with each other and soon decided to place their people in the Anbu.
Tsunade was helpless. Konoha was severely damaged. In addition, she did not make any outstanding political achievements when she took office, and even forced the daimyo to cut military spending again and again.
Therefore, her reputation in Konoha has dropped to the extreme, and she can be said to be the most unpopular Hokage in history...
Whoa!
After Utane Koharu and Mitokado En left, Jiraiya instantly appeared behind Tsunade.
Tsunade noticed someone coming from behind her, but she didn't turn around. Instead, she asked in a depressed tone, "Jiraiya, am I a failure as the Fifth Hokage?"
"No, you've done well enough." Jiraiya put his hand on Tsunade's shoulder, and this time he was not beaten away.
"The current situation in Konoha Village is so dire that I'm afraid only someone like the First Hokage can handle it."
When mentioning the first Hokage, Tsunade's eyes darkened.
Compared to her grandfather, her abilities were too mediocre, and if she wanted to protect Konoha, she might really need his power.
"Jiraiya, that plan... start it!"
"Have you really thought it through?" Jiraiya asked solemnly. Human experiments were still somewhat cruel after all.
But now Konoha is on the verge of collapse, and it really needs some extraordinary means to save it! Even if he is an idealist, he has to succumb to this cruel reality.
Tsunade stood up, her eyes firm:
"Well, I've thought about it! In addition, my second grandfather's forbidden technique library will also be opened, and a group of loyal and reliable ninjas will be selected to learn. At the same time, the Ninja Research Department will be established to develop new ninjutsu. Everything is done to enhance Konoha's combat power.
For this reason, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki must also accelerate his growth, and I will teach him to become Konoha's trump card!!!"
"Okay, I'll help you!"
Finally, Jiraiya suddenly thought of something: "Well... to do so many things, the funds may be..."
Tsunade's eyes were dark, with a tendency to darken: "Jiraiya, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If you want to accomplish these things, you must have absolute dominance, right?"
Jiraiya was shocked: "Do you want to?!"
Tsunade nodded: "That's right, the Daimyo is just sitting there doing nothing. Keeping him here will only make the rice more expensive. It's better for me to let Konoha take over the Land of Fire and use the whole country's strength to revive Konoha!!"
Jiraiya's body trembled and he wanted to persuade Tsunade to calm down.
But when he thought about Konoha's current situation, he really couldn't afford to be interfered by an idealist like him.
Immediately, his eyes glowed green: "Tsunade, you should stay in Konoha. I will take over all the political power of Konoha. I will take care of the Daimyo. I cannot let you support the entire Konoha Village alone."
Tsunade was moved and said, "Jiraiya..."
Jiraiya looked at her lovingly, "Tsunade!"
