Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 195 Uzumaki Naruto!

In a blink of an eye, another month has passed.

During this month, Sarutobi Hiruzen, on behalf of Konoha, held three large-scale negotiations with Kumogakure, and finally finalized 90% of the details of the terms, with only some minor details left to be studied carefully. However, both sides have clarified the basic ideology, and it will not be long before the signing ceremony of the peace agreement can be held.

Although the negotiations between the two parties lasted for a month, the progress was smooth in the initial stage.

Including the compensation, as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen proposed various terms, the Hidden Cloud Village would at most argue over a small share and would then nod.

This went so smoothly that Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted in his heart, "Sure!" "The Sarutobi clan can be saved!"

The jubilant Sarutobi Hiruzen became more and more enthusiastic towards the group of Kumogakure representatives, and even took them to visit Konoha many times, telling them that even after the negotiations were over, they could come to Konoha more often.

The members of the Kumogakure delegation were all smiles at Sarutobi Hiruzen's enthusiasm, as if the life-and-death battle between the two sides on the battlefield a few months ago had never happened at all, and they were extremely good friends.

Half a month later, the details of the agreement were finalized and the two sides formally signed a peace treaty.

Before the signing ceremony of the peace agreement, a large-scale peace celebration was held in the village to welcome the arrival of a new peace!
On this day, almost all the villagers took to the streets, enjoying the joy brought by peace. The streets were crowded and the whole village was filled with laughter.

Ye was strolling on the street with Hinata, enjoying the leisure and joy.

Originally, Hiashi was a little dissatisfied with Hinata coming out to play and relax.

As the eldest daughter of the noble Hyuga clan leader and the future heir to the main family, how could she party with the common people? !
But Ye waved his hand and said directly: "Hiashi, the people are the foundation of everything. Whether it is the fourth generation or the fifth generation, if they did not win the hearts of the people, how could they come to power?"

"Even the foolish Sarutobi Hiruzen tried his best to win the hearts of the people during his reign. Although your Hyuga clan has been passed down for thousands of years, if you can't change your mindset, the position of Hokage will never be yours even if it is taken by Ino-Shika-Chou-Za."

"Besides, Hinata is my disciple, so it's my business to teach her."

Upon hearing this, Ri Zu’s words suddenly stopped and he stood there in a daze.

Ye was too lazy to pay attention to him. He took Hinata, who was a little restrained, afraid and embarrassed, out of the Hyuga clan's territory and wandered around Konoha.

Along the way, Ye saw many familiar figures, such as the Ino, Shika and Chou families, as well as members of the Aburame, Haruno, Inuzuka and other ninja clans, and most of them were carrying children.

This kind of celebration is a carnival for children. On weekdays, the inheritors of the ninja clan often need to undergo strict training in ninjutsu and secret techniques, advance chakra, etc. Only during such large-scale festivals can they legitimately run out to play.

But they can't see the night, or they subconsciously ignore the night.

Even though they saw Hinata, the luxurious clothing of the Hyuga clan made them feel a little awed.

The rise of Uchiha Fugaku pushed the Uchiha clan to the altar of Konoha, and also made the Byakugan clan, which was originally named after the Sharingan, have a special status.

The Uchiha clan is at the top, followed closely by the Hyuga clan, and below them are the old esoteric families such as the Ino-Shika-Chou and the Aburame-Inuzuka clan.

Ye took Hinata for a stroll, and Hinata was very happy. It was the first time for her to do such a thing. Although Hiashi had taken her out to play before, the feeling of going out with her teacher and her father was completely different.

She can play in various small shops along the way, or buy snacks and happily put them into her mouth.

At the beginning, she was a little reserved and even took the initiative to ask Ye if it was okay to do so, but Ye's answer made her completely relax.

"The so-called celebration is to use the day of celebration to commemorate the past. During this festival, why do you need to limit your joy with all kinds of rules and regulations?"

"The teacher is right! The teacher is so nice!"

With a candied haws in her left hand and a marshmallow in her right hand, Hinata followed Ye with a happy face.

The two were walking on the street, and when they passed by Ichiraku Ramen Shop, they were a little surprised by the long queue.

With just one glance, he saw a small blond figure, squeezed in the crowd, impatiently.

From time to time, he looked at how many people were queuing in front of him, and the coupons in his hand were squeezed out of shape.

"Uzumaki Naruto..."

After recognizing the identity of this little guy, the corners of Ye's mouth slightly raised. He could clearly feel the thick and powerful chakra in this little guy's body. The intensity of that chakra was considered huge even among all the people Ye had seen.

And it's quite special.

That is not only the power of the Uzumaki clan and the half-Nine-Tails, but also the special power hidden deep in Naruto's soul.

"Has Ashura's chakra already started to take effect at this time?"

"She's even more malnourished than Hinata, but she's able to accumulate energy to this extent..."

Ye was extremely surprised.

Naruto's living environment is much more difficult than Hinata's before. After all, although the latter cannot eat enough, at least she has food to eat.

But what about Naruto?

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen would send him some living expenses every month, but as Sarutobi Hiruzen was eliminated in the election, the old guy was only concerned about his own power and the situation of the Sarutobi clan, so how could he care about Naruto's life or death?
Being treated as the son of a fox demon, he truly had one meal to eat and three meals to go!
If Kushina knew about Naruto's current situation, not to mention the Sarutobi clan, the entire Konoha might be easily destroyed by the anger of the captain of the Seventh Division, Kushina Uzumaki!
“Even for Asura, who relies on love, he doesn’t necessarily have to grow up in such a difficult environment, Liudao.” Looking at the yellow-haired boy with messy hair and severe malnutrition, but whose eyes were still bright and watery, Ye smiled indifferently, not knowing who he was talking to.

Ichiraku Ramen's business is very good, but the uncle who cooks the food by hand is also very fast, and it was Naruto's turn soon.

When the people of Konoha around saw Naruto, they all subconsciously showed expressions of disgust and contempt, and some of them moved away from him in disdain.

Although Naruto was small, he also noticed this, and his eyes darkened, but he quickly regained his spirits and raised the wrinkled coupon in his hand: "One, a special tonkotsu ramen!"

"Does the fox demon want to eat ramen too?"

"This coupon has expired a long time ago, I remember it was given by the ramen shop as a gift when the Fourth Hokage succeeded to the position of Hokage, and it was valid for one year, how long has it been now!
"If you don't have money, don't come to the store to take up a seat. Get out of here, you fox demon!"

"That's right, I was so happy at the celebration today, but I ran into a fox demon. What bad luck!"

Naruto's voice turned on some switch, which not only attracted the attention of the people in line, but also the customers who were eating ramen in the store noticed Naruto and showed disgusted expressions.

Hearing those messy voices, Naruto was obviously a little flustered, but he ignored those people and looked at the coupon in his hand first.

"Over, expired?!"

Naruto was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

This coupon was picked up by him next to the trash can when he threw out the garbage last time. It can be exchanged directly for a special tonkotsu ramen at Ichiraku Ramen. Naruto has always treasured it as the most precious thing and is reluctant to eat it. Today is a celebration, the whole village is celebrating, Naruto also wants to celebrate, so he took it out, but he didn't expect that the coupon has expired!
Little Naruto didn't know many words, and the coupon was already wrinkled, and the expiration date column was blurred, so Naruto had never noticed this.

"It's the Fourth Hokage coupon. This coupon has expired for several years."

The hand-beating uncle also noticed the situation here and turned his head to look over: "But it doesn't matter, today is a celebration, so I'll give it to you..."

"This is 100,000 taels. From now on, his face will be deducted from this."

The sudden voice attracted the attention of everyone present. When they saw that it was a strange face, they were all stunned, and many people even wanted to say a few words.

But after seeing the white eyes of Hinata, who was being held by him, and the kimono she was wearing with the obvious Hyuga clan emblem, those people immediately shut their mouths.

"One hundred thousand taels..."

The uncle looked at the banknote that Ye handed over with some surprise and shock.

One hundred thousand taels was the reward that ninjas could get for completing tasks above B level. For a ramen restaurant like theirs, they could only make a dozen taels from selling a bowl of noodles.

One hundred thousand taels is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for them!
When Uzumaki Naruto heard the voice, he looked up in surprise and looked towards Ye. His big watery eyes were full of curiosity, but more of shyness and embarrassment.

He didn't have much idea about money, but he also knew that one hundred thousand taels was a lot of money.

Because he remembered that he had several hundred-tael silver notes before, and one hundred thousand taels would be... a lot of one hundred-tael silver notes!

This was the first time he saw this uncle. He naturally couldn't

"Uncle, I, I can't have it, I..."

"Can't refuse."

Ye reached out and scratched Naruto's messy hair, squatted down under the astonished eyes of the people around him, and smiled: "Okay, boss, it's like this from now on. If this little guy comes to eat noodles, he will be charged from here."

"Okay okay."

The uncle took the banknote without hesitation and started making ramen. One hundred thousand taels was their annual turnover.

Ye did not stay in the store for long. He turned around and left with Hinata. Naruto, who was sitting at his seat, ran out, but only saw a bustling crowd, and there was no trace of Ye.

"uncle……"

Naruto suddenly felt his throat a little blocked, his eyes a little sore, and even some tears welled up in his eyes.

Children don't have too many emotions and don't understand messy feelings. He only knows that Mizunoe Yue is the first person who has been so nice to him in the past few years.

"Uncle, I will never forget you!"

Naruto shouted at the busy streets, immediately attracting the disgusted looks of countless passers-by, but Naruto just smiled foolishly and didn't care...

Taking Hinata to the street, Ye waved his hand lightly, and several figures appeared from the darkness, all of them were elite members of the Hyuga clan with snow-white eyes.

"You guys take Hinata back first."

"Yes, my lord!"

Hinata looked at her teacher, sensibly didn't ask any more questions, and followed the Hyuga clan's jonins back to the clan's territory.

As soon as the Hyuga clan members left, several people wearing ANBU uniforms and staring at the blood-red three-magatama Sharingan appeared beside Ye.

A few breaths later, a figure appeared on the side of Ye like lightning, and at the same time drove away the Anbu.

"…Mister Mizukage."

"Long time no see, Fugaku." Mizunoe looked at Uchiha Fugaku who was wearing the Hokage's divine robe in front of him: "Very good, very energetic."

"Your Excellency the Mizukage, you flatter me."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Mizunoe Yue with a complicated expression.

The last time the two met was in the Land of Iron, when he was Minato Namikaze's bodyguard.

He had never met Mizunotsuki again after they parted ways with the Land of Iron, and even though his election was all Kirigakure's doing, the Mizukage-sama had never really communicated with him.

If Man Yue hadn't told him that Mizunoe had accepted Hiashi's daughter, he wouldn't even know that Mizunoe had come to Konoha!

"I just ran into Minato Namikaze's son."

Ye was not overly polite with Fugaku. Although both of them were Kage, there was already a huge gap between them in terms of strength and level.

Fugaku was stunned, unsure of what Mizunotsuki meant, so he could only tell the truth.

"The control of Naruto has always been handled by Sarutobi Hiruzen. In the past, even if the most ordinary people of our Uchiha clan approached the Jinchuriki within one kilometer, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be extremely nervous and driven away by him, let alone me."

"After I took over, I was busy dealing with various matters. Besides, the Jinchūriki is extremely important. I'm afraid Sarutobi Hiruzen won't let go so easily, so..."

"You are the Hokage."

Ye looked at Fugaku and said softly, "You became the Fifth Hokage by relying on your own outstanding military achievements and extraordinary strength, with the support and admiration of countless villagers, and not by relying on Sarutobi Hiruzen's abdication. Don't lose face, Fugaku."

Fugaku was shocked.

"Although the special nature of the Jinchūriki will make the people in the village hate him, Naruto is different. He is the son of Minato Namikaze."

"You and I both know what happened in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. I think you should understand better what kind of treatment a descendant of a Hokage who sacrificed himself for the village and the son of a war hero should receive."

"It would be a big problem if you let the dead down, Fugaku."

The dead are chilling...

Fugaku suddenly felt creepy, and even opened his kaleidoscope subconsciously!
