Naruto: Tenten is my fiancée

Chapter 414 Evil Occupation

Maple Leaf Source is changing with each passing day, profoundly affecting the world, and in the future it will accomplish unprecedented feats.

The changes in Maple Leaf Source are the changes in the Fire Country. Konoha Village is also being swept up in the changes. No one can stop this change, let alone resist this change.

Before we knew it, it had been eleven years since Sarutobi Hiruzen succeeded to the position of Hokage. He looked older and the wrinkles on his face became more and more criss-crossed.

Today, Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting alone in the Hokage's office building, smoking and thinking about problems.

He puffed three consecutive puffs of welding smoke and then inhaled it into his lungs. His chest felt like it was burning. That kind of burning feeling is intoxicating to smokers, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is no exception.

He exhaled a long puff of smoke, and seemed to relax. He first started smoking on a night when he felt overwhelmed, and since then he has developed the habit of using tobacco to relieve stress. Now, he can no longer tell whether it is a habit or an addiction, but he can no longer live without the complex smell of tobacco.

Six years ago, Konoha Village cooperated in attacking the Land of Lightning. That battle went very smoothly, with almost no major casualties. The Hidden Cloud Village surrendered after just a few days of fighting. He was very puzzled, so after the war he sent people to investigate secretly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen once again took out the photo that the investigator had taken. It was a place dozens of kilometers away from the Hidden Cloud Village. It was a huge sinkhole. According to the investigation, it was caused by someone fighting with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Based on multiple investigations, a conclusion was drawn that someone killed the Eight-Tails alive and destroyed the local area beyond recognition.

This might be the reason why the Hidden Cloud Village surrendered so quickly. They had been frightened.

"Alas! The line between life and death is blurred!"

Yuan Fei Ri Zhan repeated this sentence again.

This is the result of their investigation. The reason why the other party wanted to take away the Eight-Tails was because of this. Afterwards, he was always worried. Since they wanted to take away all the tailed beasts, they would definitely not let the Nine-Tails of Konoha Village go. Even if the Nine-Tails was really taken away, it would not be a big deal. That would not be the worst result. He was afraid that the man would fight like he did in the Land of Lightning. By then, no one in Konoha Village would survive.

However, he had been waiting for so many years, but no one came to ask for the tailed beast. He didn't know why, but he could never let go of the worry in his heart.

He once guessed who killed Yabi, but he didn't dare to ask. It was already very difficult to maintain the status quo, and he couldn't let the other party find an excuse.

Sarutobi Hiruzen deeply understood that unprecedented changes were about to take place, and this was an unchangeable fact. People in other places might not know, but their Konoha Village was located in the territory of Maple Leaf Source, so how could they not know the changes that had taken place over the years.

"I am increasingly unable to understand this world!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart.

Over the years, the share of missions has been decreasing year by year, and this year it has fallen off a cliff. The Fire Nation has almost no missions to do. It's not that they don't give them missions on purpose, it's because there really are no missions. Now when they have any problems, they go to the police, and the police don't ask for money.

Moreover, the current mission does not allow confrontation within the Fire Country, and does not allow the ninjas of Konoha Village to help those lawbreakers. In short, there are many things that are not allowed.

From another perspective, Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed with such a decree. But he was the Hokage, he had to consider the survival of Konoha Village, and he was looking at the problem from the perspective of Konoha Village.

It was at this time that Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that ninjas could only survive by relying on chaos. This made him doubt himself for a while. They longed for peace, but also longed for chaos. All they longed for was peace in their own village, and what they hoped for was chaos outside the village.

In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to a conclusion: Ninja is an evil profession.

Seeing too much is not a good thing sometimes, the truth is sometimes so cruel. Discovering the true nature of the ninja profession has caused Sarutobi Hiruzen to suffer from torment and torture for a long time. He is only 67 years old, but now he looks like an -year-old man, as if he is already in his twilight years.

Fortunately, because of the cooperation six years ago, the current Daimyo of the Fire Nation did not treat them harshly. The mission share was reduced, but the regular ninjas were paid a salary every month. Although the income was lower than that of ninjas, it was stable and there was no danger.

The prerequisite is that they must cooperate, and when they are asked to do something, they must do it.

The Fire Nation's [National Security Department] has now become the immediate superior of Konoha Village. Any matters of Konoha Village can only be reported to the [National Security Department]. As for reporting to the Fire Nation's Daimyo, that is, Lord Maple Leaf Source.

This is what they replied at the time: The great lord is busy with all kinds of affairs and has no time to take care of your little matters. If you have any problems, please report to the [Ministry of National Security].

Nowadays, Konoha Village seems to have lost the qualification for the so-called equal dialogue, because they really don't have the strength to fight for the so-called equality. Just last year, Fengye Yuan came to Konoha Village to recruit more than a thousand unemployed ninjas. The conditions were there, and those people all flocked to it.

There are fewer and fewer tasks, and there is no end in sight for the days when there are too many people and too little meat. If you want a better life and want your family to live a better life, why not go if you have a choice?

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no way to stop this situation. Those people were all volunteers. Besides, they were not regular employees and had no way to receive wages. If they didn't go, they would starve to death sooner or later.

Some staff members even chose to quit Konoha Village and join the team there. Some people tried to stop them with words, but were retorted with words.

"We are all from the Fire Nation, and we all work for the Fire Nation. What's the difference?"

The person who spoke at that time was a burly man named Qinan Lu, who was the person in charge of the recruitment that time.

Seeing that the people of Konoha Village were speechless, the man spoke again: "Besides, the land of Konoha Village belongs to the Beichen family. Strictly speaking, you are all from Maple Leaf Source."

At this time, many Konoha Village ninjas heard this shocking secret for the first time.

On that occasion, the largest number of people who left were from the Uchiha clan. They had few staff members to begin with, and many unemployed people simply left with their families.

Yuan Fei Rizhen withdrew his thoughts and put the photo back into the drawer. Just when he was about to do something, there was a knock on the door.

"Hokage-sama! This is bad! Uzumaki Naruto has splashed paint on the Hokage's face again, and even scribbled all over the previous Hokage's face."

Before I even entered the door, the people outside had already started reporting anxiously.

"oops!"

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he was very upset.
