At this moment, Konoha Hidden Village.
More than half a month has passed since the last war.
However, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was seriously injured.
At this time, he was still recuperating in the treatment room.
However, after many days of treatment and recuperation, his condition has recovered a lot.
I can already have normal conversations and handle some official documents.
Of course, the half of the left hand that was wiped out in the Tailed Beast Jade explosion cannot come back.
"Kakashi, what's going on over there at [Iwagakure Village]?"
"Half of the ransom of 35 million taels has been paid."
"And promised that the remaining ransom will be paid within a month. Please also ask us to treat the remaining loess kindly."
"In addition, Acting Hokage-sama has also ordered people to send Kurotsuchi and Deidara back."
Kakashi flipped through the report in his hand and answered carefully.
Sarutobi sighed and sighed slightly:
"That old guy Onoki still cares more about his granddaughter and apprentice than his son!"
Sarutobi could understand this feeling.
Just like after his eldest grandson Konohamaru was born the year before last.
Sarutobi also clearly felt that his grandson was cuter.
What's more, with the state of loess.
Even if [Iwagakure Village] is redeemed first, it will not be able to serve as a fighting force.
It's better to keep him here in Konoha for a while longer with good food and drink.
Anyway, for the huge ransom of 35 million taels.
Konoha will not embarrass Loess too much...
"What is the village's recent financial situation?" Sarutobi continued to ask.
"Last week, the Daimyo Kingdom also sent an aid fund; coupled with the generous help from the acting Hokage; and the ransom paid by [Iwagakure Village]."
"The village has gone through the most difficult period."
"The pensions of all the fallen ninjas have been paid, and the broken buildings are also being repaired..."
"It's just that the boundary between the sensing troops and the village is difficult to repair in a short period of time..."
Listen to this.
Sarutobi nodded slightly.
To this day, he still doesn't understand.
At that time, how did the people of Yanyin Village quietly take away all the remaining Uchiha people in the village?
He even destroyed the [Boundary Center Center] of the Sensing Force.
On the contrary, my own side was unaware and fell behind step by step...
The Uchiha clan really taught him a good lesson!
But now, it doesn't make much sense to think about these anymore.
The defection of the entire Uchiha clan really caused great loss to Konoha.
But now it seems that at least there are pros and cons.
Otherwise, Konoha had just experienced a battle with Iwagakure, and its vitality would have been severely damaged.
If there is a full-scale civil war with the Uchiha clan again.
It’s hard to say who wins and who loses…
The top priority is still to cultivate one’s health and recuperate, and to consolidate the village!
"Where did Jiraiya go? Why didn't he come?"
"How has he been doing as his acting Hokage these days?"
Sarutobi raised his eyebrows and continued to ask.
Hearing this, Kakashi paused and didn't know how to respond.
Frankly speaking, Lord Jiraiya has been doing this for half a month.
In addition to doing some ridiculous things such as "ordering the reconstruction of mixed bathing pools", "building pornographic bookstores", "expanding underwear stores", etc., causing a lot of trouble in the village.
As the acting Hokage, he still completed his duties with due diligence.
Even doing a good job.
If it weren't for his efforts to turn the tide, fill the village's financial loopholes, and stabilize all the families with enough strength.
There might have been trouble in Konoha at this moment...
You know, as one of the three ninjas of Konoha, he not only obtained the true inheritance of [Mt. Myoboku], but also cultivated talents like Namikaze Minato.
There is absolutely no doubt about Jiraiya's abilities.
Although, he has a lustful and lazy personality...
But once you get serious about it, it's still very reliable.
Kakashi: "Everything is fine."
"Acting Hokage-sama, he should be busy processing official documents now..."
Well……
He must be working on official documents next to the mixed bath.
"Hey! Although that guy's personality is a bit off-kilter, he's still trustworthy."
"With his support during this period, I can have a good rest..."
Sarutobi sighed and sighed slightly.
As his disciple, he still knew and trusted Jiraiya's character and abilities.
…
"Kakashi."
"exist!"
"Take my warrant, go to the [Forbidden Library] and help me get two scrolls out..."
"As you command!"
Kakashi stepped forward, took the order to open the [Forbidden Library] from Sarutobi, and took the order.
"Also, please notify me and let the head of the Hinata family and the Aburame family come over."
"As for the defense outside the village during this period, I need to confirm with the two of them."
You know, the sentient troops were destroyed and the great barrier was destroyed.
Today's Konoha, to outsiders, is almost the same as being completely naked.
So, just to be on the safe side.
It is particularly important to strengthen monitoring and defense around the village.
The Hyuga clan's 'Byakugan' and the Aburame clan's 'Parasite Technique', combined together, can form a complete surveillance trap network, protecting the entire Konoha.
Timely discover and stop any ninja from outside the village who has evil intentions and intends to approach Konoha.
This is why Sarutobi is ready to meet these two famous heads of Konoha families in person.
"yes!"
Kakashi took the order and quickly exited.
And soon he went to the Hyuga clan family and Aburame family respectively, and brought the news to the heads of the two families.
Then, he immediately rushed to the library behind the Hokage Building.
With Sarutobi's order, he opened the door of the [Forbidden Library] and prepared to take away the two designated scrolls of forbidden arts.
However, I just stepped into the [Forbidden Library].
Kakashi suddenly realized that there was another person here!
To know.
[Forbidden Library] is a secret of Konoha, except for a few high-level Konoha officials.
Others are prohibited from entering without the exclusive warrant authorization from senior officials.
After all, there are a lot of forbidden arts stored here!
Once leaked, the consequences would be disastrous...
"who?!!"
Kakashi shouted and immediately went on guard.
The figure in the distance quickly stopped and looked back at Kakashi.
"The root ninja, in the name of Lord Danzo, came to extract the sealing technique scroll."
"Any questions?"
The other party raised the Danzo warrant in his hand, opened a pair of pure [white eyes] under the mask, and explained calmly.
Seeing this, most of Kakashi's doubts disappeared.
Since it was someone sent by Danzo-sama, there would be no problem.
After all, the root ninjas are independent of each other, and he cannot recognize all the root ninjas.
What's more, the other party is still wearing a mask.
However, since the other party has those unmistakable white eyes, it is enough to prove the other party's identity.
In addition, Kakashi, who worked under Danzo for a period of time.
I also know that Danzo-sama is quite fond of sealing techniques.
It’s not surprising that people would occasionally be sent to pick up a few sealing arts for research…
"It's okay! I was rash..."
Kakashi put away his kunai and apologized.
Then, he stopped paying attention to the other party.
He began to follow the serial numbers on the bookshelf, looking for the forbidden scroll that he needed to take away.
Soon, Kakashi found one of the scrolls.
But when he looked back, the white-eyed root ninja had disappeared.
'Has that guy left already? '
Kakashi withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention.
After all, no matter who the other party is.
Since he has the Byakugan, he will never betray the Hyuga clan or Konoha.
…
