Chapter 85: Memorial service for Danzo-sama!

 
 With the defeat of the Sound Ninja and the escape of the Sand Ninja, Konoha won.

  However, even if they won the battle in the village, they did not gain any advantage. Instead, there were many casualties and many buildings were damaged.

  But the biggest loss was that their top leader, the Third Hokage, died in battle.

  So even if they won, Konoha's morale dropped to the lowest.

  The whole village was shrouded in an atmosphere of depression and sadness.

  Konohamaru, the grandson of Konoha, was already in tears.

  Uzumaki Naruto also had a dazed expression and tears streaming down his face.

  The first person to recognize him and also the grandfather who loved him the most, the Third Hokage, is gone!

  But the ones with the heaviest heart right now are the elders of Konoha.

  "Danzo is also dead. There is only one survivor in the entire Root organization."

  Elders looked at Jiraiya, who was no longer joking but had a serious expression. The latter said in a deep voice: "According to the description of the only survivor, there was only one man and a group of puppets who destroyed the Root organization. That man wore an Akatsuki uniform, had purple rippled eyes, and could use repulsion and gravity infinitely."

  "He first killed Danzo and destroyed the Root organization, then sneaked into the Hokage Building to capture Tenzo, and stole the Book of Seals and some scrolls."

  "This man can fly and become invisible. The repulsion can destroy everything without leaving any smell."

  "However, the owner of those puppets can be confirmed to be the Sasori who destroyed a small country back then. The other party's puppet technique has reached the level where he can control it freely without the need for chakra lines."

  "He took the opportunity to steal a large number of corpses, most likely to make puppets."

  After that Elders started accusing: "Jiraiya, you recruited disciples outside back then, and they were the owners of Rinnengan, but you did not report it or bring them back, which led to the other party joining the Akatsuki organization, and joined forces with Orochimaru to launch the Konoha collapse plan, indirectly killing Hiruzen and Danzo, you need to be responsible for this."

  "Hey, hey... don't throw all the dirty water on me."

  Jiraiya, who had a serious face and didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly frowned and said: "I don't know if that guy is Yahiko. According to the portrait provided by the survivor, his body is covered with black nails. Maybe he is also a puppet, but he is similar to my former disciple."

  "Besides, the Sand Village was invited by the old man. Who knew that Orochimaru would disguise himself as the Fourth Kazekage and cooperate with the Akatsuki organization he once joined."

  "Now that things have happened, instead of shirking the responsibility, you might as well quickly elect a new Hokage."

  At this point, Jiraiya suddenly gloated again: "Danzo is such an unlucky guy. The old man died in the battle. He, a former candidate for Hokage, had a chance to become Hokage again, but he actually went with the old man. What a pity."

  "Shut up, Jiraiya."

  Utane Koharu scolded with a frown on his forehead, and immediately proposed: "This incident is inseparable from you. Since Hiruzen and Danzo are both sacrificed, you will be the Fifth Hokage."

  "No, I'm not interested in Hokage." Jiraiya raised his hand to refuse without hesitation, and gave his own reasons, "According to my investigation, the Akatsuki organization's target is actually the tailed beasts and the Jinchuriki. This invasion of Konoha exposed the trump card of Rinnegan in advance, but they did not take the opportunity to take Naruto away. Instead, they targeted the Book of Sealing and the Root organization. This is really too weird."

  "If it really is Rinnegan, that survivor would not have survived. He must have been left alive intentionally by the other party. According to the information provided by the survivor, Danzo and the demigod of the Hidden Rain Village seemed to have planned something, which led him to come here for revenge today."

  "If it's just revenge, then why did he say that the territory of the Akatsuki organization is in the Hidden Rain Village?"

  Upon hearing this, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura's eyes suddenly flashed: "You mean, he did it on purpose?"

  "Maybe, or maybe they really didn't find the survivor." Jiraiya was not sure, and said, "That's why I have to continue investigating. This Akatsuki organization, which gathers a large number of S-level rebel ninjas and is even suspected of possessing the Eye of the Sage, is too dangerous."

  "The task of investigation can be handed over to the Anbu." Utatane Koharu said in a deep voice, "Konoha cannot be without Hokage, and no one except you is suitable to be the Fifth Hokage."

  "Who said that?" Jiraiya smiled meaningfully, "Isn't there still one of the legendary Three Ninjas? "

  You mean..."

  Homura and Utane Koharu both widened their eyes.

  "Ah... that woman is more suitable than anyone else. After all... she is the princess of Konoha. "

  Jiraiya persuaded the two elders.

  ...

  The next day, the sky was covered with dark clouds and rumbling thunder.

  Soon, it began to drizzle.

  The ninjas of Konoha all wore black long coats and trousers today, holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, and went to attend the memorial service for the ninjas who died in battle.

  Even many villagers went there spontaneously.

  On the table full of white chrysanthemums, there were a large number of portraits, two of which were enlarged versions, and were placed at the top in the most conspicuous place.

  The rain suddenly became heavier, as if the sky was crying for these heroes.

  It should have been a sad and heavy atmosphere, but after Izayoi presented the white chrysanthemums, he looked at the portrait of Shimura Danzo, who was placed together with Sarutobi Hiruzen and turned from dark to bright after his death, and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

  Izayoi quickly suppressed the impulse, made a gesture of worship with both hands, closed his eyes and said to himself: "Rest in peace, Lord Danzo, I will make the Root organization great again! " (He is supposed to be Chinese not American lol)

  Immediately, Izayoi returned to the team with a tense face and expressionless face.

  The rain slid down his face, as if mixed with tears.

  There were many ninjas with the same expression as Izayoi.

  But more people cried softly, or cried loudly, or shed tears silently...

  Most of these people were baptized by the will of fire, or were new generations and ordinary ninjas who had not experienced darkness and had not seen the dirty side of the village.

  After half an hour of rain, the memorial service ended.

  At the same time, it also announced that the era of the rule of the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo had officially ended.

  When the Fifth Hokage takes office, Konoha will enter a new era.

  In the words of Orochimaru, Konoha, the windmill that had stopped for many years, is finally going to turn again.

  The top leaders and the Land of Fire will be very busy next.

  Not only do they have to clean up the mess, but they also have to search for the traces of Orochimaru and the Sound Village, and deal with the relationship between the Wind Country and the Sand Village. There will definitely be a lot of negotiations next.

  After all, the one-tailed Jinchūriki of the Sand Village, the children of the Kazekage, and a large number of Sand Ninjas were all sealed and imprisoned.

  Jinchūriki is a strategic weapon, and the Sand Ninjas who can participate in the Konoha collapse plan are also the elite ninjas of the Sand Village.

  No matter what, the Sand Village will not give up.

  Konoha and the Sand Village, which have lost the "Five Kage" at the same time, cannot afford the cost of going to war, otherwise their combat power will be exposed, which may cause the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War at any time.

  So they can only negotiate and finally finalize the "price".

  Izayoi is not interested in such political events.

  He doesn't even have time to sort out the gains from the Konoha collapse plan.

  After the rain stopped, he began to look for the address of his new home.   

  Since his old home was destroyed, Izayoi didn't plan to rebuild the house.

  He planned to buy land and build a big house.

  Without the threat of Danzo-sama, and becoming the future star of Konoha, Izayoi was not afraid of anyone asking about the source of his wealth.

  Without evidence, no one dared to provoke a strong man with ace combat power.

  And Izayoi had the Hyuga sisters as a cover.

  "Onii-chan, the house is gone, where are you going to live next?" The

  Hyuga sisters followed Izayoi, and Hanabi said, "The hotel is too small and the price is so expensive, why don't you move to Hanabi's house."

  "Yes, Izayoi-kun, why don't you move to my house, I will convince my father." Hinata agreed softly.

  Hearing this, Izayoi was a little moved.

  But thinking of seeing the zombie face of Hyuga Hiashi every day, and being treated with "white eyes" by the Hyuga clan every day, Izayoi suddenly felt chilled and got goose bumps.

  He shook his head and teased Hinata, "No, it's not the time to visit now."

  Hinata, who knew what he was talking about, blushed and stopped insisting.

  Moreover, a boy suddenly moved into a girl's house, and the other party was a rich girl. Even if he was a future star with a bright future, he would be greatly criticized.

  Although Izayoi often teased her, asking if she wanted to support him, Hinata also knew that Izayoi was actually proud in his heart and definitely didn't want to be looked at like that.

  "Damn Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja, my hot spring hall has just been built! I have only dug two wells now, and it was destroyed before it opened. This is what I borrowed to invest, and it's ruined now!"

  At this moment, a cry came into the ears of Izayoi and the other two. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a middle-aged man in a black suit, who was obviously from another place in the past two days, kneeling in front of a ruin, crying like a child.

  Hearing his words, Izayoi's eyes lit up.

  Immediately, under the surprised gaze of passers-by, Izayoi's figure floated into the air and flew over the street, looking at the ruins in front of the middle-aged man and measuring the area of ​​the hot spring hall that had not yet opened.

  After a while, Izayoi's face showed a hint of joy.

  Floating from the air in front of the middle-aged man, Izayoi looked at the stunned middle-aged man and asked with a smile: "Are you interested in doing a business? I am very interested in your hot spring hall."

  "Yes, yes, yes..."

  Looking at this boy who looked extraordinary, the middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

  "Hinata, go to Ino's flower shop and ask Ino for help, and ask her..."

  Izayoi leaned close to Hinata's ear and whispered.

  Hinata listened quietly, then nodded seriously: "I know, Izayoi-kun."

  After Hinata left in an instant, Izayoi smiled at the middle-aged man and said: "Let's go to the Hokage Building."

  Konoha is the military base of the Land of Fire, and its relationship with the Land of Fire is one country, one village.

  If you want to transfer the land, you must get the consent and witness of the village.

  Ishiya didn't know the price of the land, but he didn't want to suffer a loss, so he planned to ask a member of the Yamanaka clan for help to avoid being cheated by this middle-aged man.

  After all, all businessmen are dishonest, and every world is no exception.

  "No problem." The middle-aged man agreed very readily, obviously wanting to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.

  Even if his industry was damaged, the village would give a certain amount of compensation, but it would take a lot of time to repair and open the business.

  During this period, the interest compounded by interest would definitely far exceed the compensation of the village.

  Now that someone is willing to take over, the middle-aged man couldn't ask for more.

  When Ishiya and the other two arrived at the Hokage Building, Hinata also came over quickly.

  Beside her, there was Yamanaka Ino

   "Ishiya, sure, you actually want to buy a hot spring hotel. When did you become so rich?" Yamanaka Ino teased.

  "It's borrowed, but you have to pay it back later." Ishiya glanced at Hinata and created an illusion for Yamanaka Ino.

  "I really envy your relationship. I don't know when I can be like this with Sasuke-kun." Yamanaka Ino was not surprised, but just sighed slightly.

  Hinata smiled shyly, but did not discourage Yamanaka Ino.

  According to her observation, Uchiha Sasuke has no interest in women.

  If he was not a man, Hinata would even be hostile to him.

  This guy is sometimes more clingy than her and Hanabi.

  After chatting for a few words, Yamanaka Ino said to the middle-aged man next to her: "Uncle Yusuke, please help me."

  "It's just a small matter." Yamanaka Yusuke smiled and nodded.

  Under the gaze of the two white-eyed girls wearing green vests and obvious identities, the middle-aged man who knew that these people were of great origin did not dare to cheat at all, and soon transferred the land of the hot spring hotel to Izayoi at the price of 66,660,000 taels.

  The land is definitely not worth this price, and Izayoi will have to bear part of the middle-aged man's losses.

  After signing the contract and getting the new title deed from the village, Izayoi was very happy to invite Yamanaka Ino and Yamanaka Yusuke to dinner.

  The latter chose to refuse, but the former readily agreed.

  The weather is relatively cool now, which is just right for hot pot.

  So the four of them came to the hot pot restaurant. While the three women were ordering food, Izayoi took out the map of Konoha, circled the location of the hot spring hall with a pen, and then circled several nearby houses.

  The area of ​​the hot spring hall is good, and it is entirely possible to build a house that is twice as large as the old house, but Izayoi is still not satisfied.

  He wants to build a bigger new home that not only has hot springs, but also has a large yard and a large house.

  So in the next few days, Izayoi visited every household and successfully bought the land of those houses at a price they could not refuse.

  Including the hot spring hall, Izayoi's total expenditure this time was a full 280 million taels.

  After all, it is impossible to buy things from the hands of Konoha's unruly people without spending some money.

  After buying the land, Izayoi asked a professional team to help him measure the land area, and then began to draw the design.

  When Izayoi is satisfied with the design and it is completely finalized, he can start construction.
