Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 456 The Story...

The middle-aged Sasuke had absolutely no psychological burden regarding changing history.

For him, such a tragic future should never have happened.

Why?

Because after he reached his current level, he discovered a fact.

That was the one who killed the Third Hokage, Yua; it was a member of the Otsutsuki clan, and it was caused by someone traveling back in time.

But for now, let's tell the Third Hokage about what will happen in the future.

……

"Snap"

Yuya patted his forehead in anguish and sighed, "Konoha Village is finished."

Tsunade was somewhat puzzled: "How could this be over? I know Itachi too, he's Mikoto's eldest son, right? Isn't he a pretty strong kid?"

Moreover, he recently joined the security force to help his father, and although he is young, he is already quite adept at handling matters.

Yuya shook his head: "Konoha is a village with many powerful clans. The Uchiha clan is doing this for their own benefit, but since they've started, others will naturally follow suit."

"And there isn't just one Konoha Village in this world..."

Tsunade's expression immediately turned serious: "Honey, you mean, the other ninja villages will..."

What caused the last Shinobi World War?

Konoha and Kumogakure were locked in a power struggle, and others came because they felt they could gain something from it.

It's quite obvious that the future Konoha Village is likely to be in turmoil. People from other villages aren't stupid, so how could they not take advantage of the situation?

Yuya looked at the middle-aged Sasuke, who was silent and had a gloomy expression.

After sighing, Yuya said, "I'm afraid the first to make a move wasn't one of the other ninja villages, but rather the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire, right?"

The middle-aged Sasuke looked at Yua with some shock, then gave a wry smile and said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you..."

You Ya rolled his eyes. Did he even need to think about this?

You are the daimyo of the Land of Fire. Thirty years ago, when Yua first came to power, he had to send you money and various new inventions every year to please you. However, thirty years have passed. Let's not even talk about switching positions. Just imagine, a very wealthy power has emerged in your sphere of influence. Do you want to swallow it up?

However, Konoha Village's military strength was formidable enough that even after the Fire Country's Daimyo was killed, they dared not attack Konoha Village.

But there's another saying that goes, "What you can't have is always the best."

As mentioned before, the cash (note, cash) in Konoha Village's bank is not much, only a few hundred billion ryo. Even including the printing press, if they work at full capacity, they would only have about a hundred billion ryo a year.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances. If it's not normal, the printing presses are running non-stop...

Okay, that's impossible. Youya wouldn't let money become worthless.

In short, the village's bank doesn't have much cash, but considering that many people owe money to the bank and have to repay it every month, there are monthly deposits, so there's no need to rush to print more.

If tens of billions of dollars were given to the people of the Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Fire, they might be shocked at first, but after a while, they would realize it's nothing special.

The money of Konoha Village is something that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire cannot see or touch, so they think that Konoha Village is very rich. When Konoha Village's financial report is released at the end of each year, the GDP of one trillion ryo is dazzling.

Under these circumstances, no normal person would believe that they have no designs on Konoha.

And don't forget, it was initially the Daimyo of the Land of Fire who collaborated with Hashirama Senju to give him the land of Konoha Village to build the village.

In the eyes of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, it was Konoha Village that owed them.

In the eyes of the villagers of Konoha, the Land of Fire would have been gone long ago without the protection of Konoha.

This is the fundamental contradiction, and resolving it is quite simple: one side can simply annex the other.

It's clear from middle-aged Sasuke that he's not interested in politics. And it's likely he doesn't really want to be, after all…

According to him, Itachi Uchiha is not dead, and within the Uchiha clan, he holds a higher position than him.

In the original work, Sasuke is a brother-complex character. I don't know what kind of Sasuke Yuya is, but I imagine he must have had a lot of feelings for Uchiha Itachi.

Putting all that aside, it seems that the Uchiha clan on his side is not far from being wiped out.

So, must the Uchiha clan be wiped out?

The middle-aged Sasuke continued the story.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire was indeed the first to make a move.

However, he did not directly attack Konoha.

Instead, they directly sold the operating rights of highways and railways within the Land of Fire to other villages.

For example, those leading to Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) are sold to Kumogakure, and those leading to Sunagakure (Hidden Sand Village) are sold to Sunagakure.

The other villages couldn't believe it at first!

Later, when the daimyo of the Land of Fire put the item up for public auction, the matter was settled.

Ten years after Yua's death, the entire railway of the Land of Fire was sold to other villages.

What is Konoha doing at this time?

Yes, they're vying for the title of next Hokage.

"Slap!" Tsunade looked pained.

You Ya wasn't surprised at all.

Or rather, it would be strange for Yuya if these guys didn't do that.

Eleven years after Yua's death, the Sarutobi and Shimura clans formed an alliance and jointly elected Sarutobi Asuma, the then head of the research department, as Hokage.

Sarutobi Asuma himself was unwilling, but he had no choice; he was pushed into it, and others would not follow his will.

In the same year, the Uchiha clan wanted to promote Uchiha Itachi to the position. Uchiha Fugaku gave the position of head of the security department to Uchiha Itachi and gave the reason that Konoha was not peaceful recently and the security department was too busy. Without Uchiha Itachi, it could not function. If he became Hokage, what would happen to the security department?

The other members of the Uchiha clan had no choice but to give up.

In the same year, Nara Shikaku of the Nara clan announced that Tsunade had passed away.

Yuya looked at Tsunade with concern.

Tsunade laughed: "I've lived quite a long time, and... I'm sure I was driven to my death by these bastards."

You Ya sighed.

The middle-aged Sasuke continued to recount what had happened on his side.

In the same year, Naruto Uzumaki stood up and said that Konoha Village could no longer be in chaos. Everyone was from the same village, so how could they be enemies?

then……

Then everyone just ignored him.

At this time, Naruto Uzumaki was just an ordinary grassroots civil servant who had passed the civil service exam.

It would be a miracle if Naruto had any say in the matter.

Twelve years after Yuya's death, as expected, the internal strife could no longer be contained.

Sarutobi Kashimura and the Hyuga clan started fighting.

Although it was just a minor skirmish, it still resulted in bloodshed, and Konoha Village was on the verge of being wiped out by internal strife...

Other villages provided assistance.

Of course, what Yuya sees as an assist, what middle-aged Sasuke sees as taking advantage of someone's misfortune, a bunch of bastards.

The middle-aged Sasuke said angrily, "Our Konoha Village has developed for so many years! We've never suppressed other villages, and we've always led other villages to develop and become prosperous! But this is how they treat us?! They only bite us when they see us weakening?!"
