Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

Myoboku Mountain was the most proactive in providing materials for 'Holy Land Pill'.

After Konoha reciprocates with some supplies, the toads will also send back some interesting items.

This can be seen as a proactive demonstration of a friendly and cooperative attitude.

As long as the core inheritance of Mount Myōboku's sage techniques is not touched, and the only goal is to help Tsuchigumo modify his existing secret techniques...

Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that this matter could be negotiated.

Of course, it would be best to wait until there is some progress on the Konoha side before talking to Mount Myōboku, which would give us more initiative.

Hiruzen Sarutobi plans to go there himself to see this so-called 'holy land'...

"Ask Shikkotsu-no-Kami, I heard from Tsunade that although the Slug Sage is of a gentle nature, he is very kind-hearted..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi recounted some amusing stories he'd heard in his childhood, though he wasn't sure if they were true or not:

"Legend has it that the First Generation Master once accidentally wandered into the Wet Bone Forest, where the Slug Sage wanted to teach him sage techniques..."

"But the First Hokage learned it as soon as he went in, laughed and turned to leave. It was the Slug Sage who insisted on giving him the summoning contract, but in the end it was Tsunade who signed it."

Orochimaru's eyebrows twitched as he listened.

Although the sacred land is naturally rich in energy, you learn something as soon as you enter...

That's still too far-fetched!

Must be fake!

Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi chatted like this.

The leader of Ibli felt an involuntary surge of awe upon hearing this.

I initially thought their problem was a difficult one…

It turns out that Konoha already had a solution!

The leader of the Earth Spider clan is no exception.

Natural energy, which is extremely mysterious in the ninja world, is not uncommon in Konoha.

He immediately mentioned the Three Sacred Sites, and the First Generation mastered them the moment he entered…

It truly is a place where "learned scholars gather and no uncultured people come and go," showcasing the profound heritage and style of the number one hidden village in the ninja world!

The leader of the Earth Spider clan couldn't help but chuckle smugly.

I was originally planning to raise my price a little, but now that I see this, I'm just thankful that we can even reach an agreement!

They not only have the ability to solve the problem, but they also don't seem to be particularly lacking in talent...

"Excuse me, everyone..."

"As we talked, we ended up talking about the First Hokage, and the topic got sidetracked," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

"It's alright, it's alright!" the two tribal leaders quickly waved their hands.

"Regarding the cooperation between our two clans and Konoha, this is what I think..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke:

"Konoha today still has better welfare benefits than other hidden villages, but this is what the ninja deserve for shedding blood for Konoha."

Orochimaru then handed the various policy forms to the two leaders.

A moment later, both leaders had very complicated expressions.

They were tempted to curse their ancestors; what were they thinking at the time?

Why don't you join Konoha...?

Isn't this just causing trouble for future generations?

"Therefore, you need to understand that directly joining Konoha will cause some controversy..."

The two leaders nodded repeatedly.

The fact that someone who has never paid taxes is enjoying such good benefits makes people feel uneasy.

"But we are all ninjas from the Land of Fire, and perhaps we were family eight hundred years ago..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was very friendly:

"Therefore, if you want to join Konoha, the village will try its best to give you a chance."

"The Ibli clan and the Tsuchigumo clan are stationed in this location together."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed to a forest in the northeastern part of Konoha.

Approximately 100 kilometers away from the patrol force, facing the direction of the Land of Lightning.

"Forests can significantly reduce wind force, and the village will also allocate funds to help you build windproof homes."

"Your mission is to use smoke abilities to form a defensive line and monitor enemy movements for Konoha."

"If a strong wind rises that the forest cannot withstand, the Tsuchigumo clan can also lend a hand to the Ibli clan."

"You've been assigned to the 'Konoha Reserve Force.' The village will help you find some missions, enough to support you, but we'll need to collect an extra 10% as a cut-off fee..."

“The village will conduct an assessment of you for a period of one year, during which you will not receive any benefits.”

"One year later, you will enjoy 40% of the benefits that Konoha ninjas receive."

"Those who perform exceptionally well after three years may be formally enrolled in the Hidden Leaf Village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle.

After the establishment of positions fully funded by Konoha, such as patrol units and industrial ninjas, Konoha, whose population had not yet increased, naturally lacked some ninjas to carry out missions.

As the connection between Konoha and the Land of Fire grew closer, the number of orders increased.

For a time, Konoha ninjas were in short supply, and there was a need for someone to handle some low-level missions.

Orochimaru, who was standing to the side, had a sudden thought: his teacher had indeed prepared a draft.

It sounds so natural, as if I've experienced a similar construction project myself...

The teacher really put a lot of effort into removing the stain from him!

In this way, the Iburi and Tsuchigumo clans became one of his achievements!

He couldn't help but laugh at Shimura Danzo's foolishness...

The teacher cares for me so much…

So, what gave him the confidence to believe he could compete with me for the Hokage position?

That stupid bandage on his forehead!

"Lord Hokage, your terms are too generous..." Leader Ibli said hurriedly.

"We have missions to do, houses to live in, caravans to run, and they can even solve our problems..."

"The key is the benefits of working in Konoha, and the possibility of becoming a full-fledged employee later!"

"From this day forward, the Iburi clan will obey the Hokage's orders. We will do whatever you tell us to do!"

"If I am even slightly disloyal, I will accept all your punishments!"

The leader of the Earth Spider clan was secretly annoyed; he was just bad at talking and someone else beat him to it.

But I can't think of anything new to say for the time being, so I can only shout:

"The same goes for the Earth Spider clan!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded:

"Then, you two... please remember that Konoha is always as warm as fire when it treats its own people, but it is never merciful to traitors and enemies."

"I sincerely hope that you will all be officially hired soon."

"Please turn around and recite the oath once more with the two former Hokage!"

The leaders of the Tsuchigumo and Iburi clans turned around, facing the portrait on the desk.

They are Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

Upon seeing these two, the leaders of the two clans understood even more deeply what Hiruzen Sarutobi had said…

Judging from his reputation in the ninja world.

Indeed, one was warm and the other was cold and cruel.

It also represents the duality inherent in Konoha's lineage...

After the ceremony, Hiruzen Sarutobi rose and, smiling, tied the two headbands onto the heads of the two clans:

"Then, welcome to the Will of Fire family!"

The leaders of both tribes could not contain their joy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled slightly.

First, grant the two leaders Konoha ninja status, deeply aligning their interests with those of Konoha…

Firstly, management costs will be significantly reduced, and it will also set a benchmark for the community.

In a sense, it will also make the group no longer a monolithic entity, with everyone aiming to join Konoha.

"Since you're here, don't rush to leave."

"In a few days, there's an interesting advanced ninja academy lesson in the village. Many people will be going to cheer on the kids. Come and check it out..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle.

Ibli and the leader of the Tsuchigumo clan nodded in agreement.

But I had some doubts in my heart.

What's so interesting about kids from the ninja academy?

It's nothing more than some rudimentary ninjutsu; do you really think they can come up with anything substantial?

Knowing the Three-Body Technique probably makes you an excellent student...

Out of respect for Hiruzen Sarutobi, the two leaders refrained from revealing their true feelings…

Compared to flowers grown in a greenhouse, the tenacious weeds are the truly stronger ones…
