"Have all those prisoners been arranged properly?" Uzumaki Jun looked at the documents in his hand with a headache, rubbed his forehead, sighed, and said, "There really is so much to do."
This period after the war ended was full of incidents. Post-war reparations, prisoner arrangements, reconstruction of ruins, military reforms, plus other trivial matters...
It made Uzumaki Jun feel annoyed recently.
"They have been arranged." Uzumaki Hibiki nodded and said, "According to your request, the ninjas from each hidden village have been separated and assigned to various places. Also, every night there will be specialized teachers providing them with ideological education."
"Is that so..." Uzumaki Jun frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "We must not have any problems."
"After all, this time is not like the previous times."
Prisoners from three hidden villages...
There are truly too many.
"Have the military department arrange people to inspect there every day, and also have Muroto Jōmon and the others cooperate."
Uzumaki Jun helplessly sighed...
"Those paupers, who knows when they will have money to ransom people back!"
Really, if you have no money, why start a war?
Don't you know war costs a lot of money?
"Understood, I will notify them." Uzumaki Hibiki opened his memo and wrote it down, saying, "I will definitely make them pay attention."
"What about the post-war work then?" Uzumaki Jun thought for a moment and said, "We cannot let the heroes who protected our home and country shed blood and sweat!"
"The clan leader is already handling it." Uzumaki Hibiki said, "According to your request, appropriate compensation has been provided to every household that suffered injuries or sacrifices during the war."
"Then..." Uzumaki Jun nodded and said, "If there's nothing else, I will go back and rest."
If it's the clan leader, he is quite reassured. These past few days he has been so tired he dozes off during meetings. Moreover, Mikoto gave birth a few days ago, a handsome red-haired boy...
These past few days, dad and mom have been slacking off, staying at the hospital watching their precious grandson.
Uzumaki Jun sighed inwardly...
Don't they know there are still many matters to handle in the country?
And...
Even Boss Madara...
Heard he went to the hospital to take a look!!
"Been so tired lately."
Uzumaki Jun stretched, sighed helplessly...
"As a father, I haven't even properly looked at that boy, Itachi!!"
Uzumaki Itachi...
This wasn't named by him!!
It was that old bastard Madara who named him, really...
He had planned to avoid those children of destiny and change his child's name, but...
A few days ago when he wasn't there, the name was decided.
Even his dad and mom thought this name sounded clever and very good. It seems...
His chance will have to wait for the next time.
"There is actually one more important matter." Uzumaki Hibiki adjusted his glasses and said, "The chakra center sent a message saying the chakra there is insufficient again."
Especially during the war when they fired recklessly...
It became even more insufficient!!
"Is that so?" Uzumaki Jun touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "How long can it last?"
"About half a month or so." Uzumaki Hibiki sighed and said helplessly, "And that's only by reducing supply to most equipment."
"Ah!" Uzumaki Jun sighed similarly after hearing this, muttering, "Energy!!"
The problem of energy shortage must be changed!!
Otherwise, they really can only take the hybrid path of chakra, gasoline, and coal.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Uzumaki Hibiki...
"Have those prisoners donate every morning." Uzumaki Jun narrowed his eyes and said, "Anyway, keeping them is useless, so have them all donate for me."
They can still work after resting a while, and...
It doesn't cost money!!
"But we must be careful..."
"Release one after extracting from one."
"Absolutely cannot give them any opportunity!!"
Uzumaki Jun looked seriously at Uzumaki Hibiki...
"Remember, this matter cannot be careless. You must be careful, careful, and more careful!!"
"Understood." Uzumaki Hibiki looked strangely at Uzumaki Jun and said.
This...
Is indeed a good method!!
...
Early June, Year 43 of Konoha.
The three great hidden villages formed an encirclement around the Land of Fire. Although they all stopped at the border, set up camp, and did not advance further, but...
When the Land of Fire Daimyō saw this, he was extremely angry!
When has their Land of Fire ever suffered such humiliation?
Especially the Land of Lightning. The Raikage of their hidden village, all day leading a group of bare-chested men, shouting at the border, come out and fight one-on-one, Land of Fire trash, Konoha cowards, even...
They said give Konoha one week to consider, otherwise, they will directly push through and destroy the Land of Fire!!
So...
The Land of Fire Daimyō became afraid. After all, Konoha still hasn't sent out ninjas. What are they trying to do?
This is making him unable to sleep well!!
He quickly sent a letter to Konoha, harshly criticizing Sarutobi Hiruzen, and seriously questioning his ability as Kage...
What is going on??
How did the village's strength suddenly shrink so much??
If really not possible...
Since you are old anyway, quickly step down!!
"Step down?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the letter from the Land of Fire Daimyō in his hand, narrowed his eyes, then raised his head to look at Danzō sitting in front of him...
This Darkness of the Shinobi...
Still not giving up!!
He was actually secretly laughing just now...
"Danzō!!" Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, placed his hands behind his back, walked to the window, and said lightly, "Time for you again..."
"To protect Konoha!!"
As for the matter of stepping down...
Now is not the time.
Currently, it is a critical autumn for Konoha's survival. If he steps down, then?
Who has the ability to protect Konoha?
Only he...
Is the one who can protect Konoha now!
"..."
I@#...
Danzō's face was expressionless, but in his heart, he wondered if he should say something. But after thinking...
He is, after all, the Darkness of the Shinobi!!
He sighed and said, "What is it?"
"Recently, the Hyūga side..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked out the window. Because of the war, people's hearts were beginning to panic. Did they all think Konoha truly couldn't escape this time?
He sighed helplessly and said, "You understand!!"
They are acting up again!!
Is it because they see the two great noble clans in the village are gone, so they think they can become Konoha's number one family?
Why can't they just obediently follow his orders as Hokage?
"Go to the Hyūga clan and ask them how many ninjas they can send for this war??"
His Sarutobi clan hasn't even jumped out yet!
Why is the Hyūga bouncing around everywhere??
"This..." Danzō frowned upon hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it good for me to go?"
You know, nowadays his reputation...
Whoever he sees dies!
Probably before he even reaches the Hyūga clan, he will be driven out!
After all...
Because of you, all clans in Konoha know that any clan he visits...
Basically ends up finished!!
Bastard!!
"Don't worry." Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of smoke and said lightly, "I believe you will handle it well."
You've done this kind of thing before!!
Just use threats and incentives to make the Hyūga clan behave.
You are very familiar with this business!
"I..."
As the light of Konoha...
"Believe in you!!!"
