In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

After all, Danzo Shimura still needed to find some excuses to demand resources.

His teammates were just orphans he had found since childhood.

For Hiruzen Sarutobi, they were not only his absolute trusters, but they were also thoroughly brainwashed.

Even when given extremely difficult tasks, they will complete them diligently and will never refuse.

This also led to several notorious incidents of sacrifice at the root.

In those missions, the Roots lost nearly half of their members each time.

It was precisely because of these reasons that Hiruzen Sarutobi had to allocate an astonishing amount of money to allow Root to regain its strength.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi knew what Danzo was thinking.

However, they were considered his trusted confidants, so giving them a little money would only have an impact on the village.

It wouldn't have any real impact on him, which led to Danzo becoming increasingly rampant.

"Alright, I know what you're up to, but this time you have more reasons, so you'll have to pay for it yourself!"

This time, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't have any good intentions.

He had just been threatened by a little kid. If he were to be threatened by Danzo again, what would become of his reputation?

"But...you didn't kill that kid just now, so why did you let him go?"

Danzo Shimura looked unconvinced and said he was going to have a long talk with Hiruzen Sarutobi!

"boom!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand on the table, making a creaking sound, and stood up angrily.

"Danzo, don't forget who gave you your position. Don't push your luck!"

"If you're really tired of living, then I'll send you on your way, as a way of thanking you for hiding all these years!"

As he spoke, a monkey appeared behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, staring at Danzo with a sinister expression.

"you........"

Danzo wanted to say something more, but he deflated when he thought of Hiruzen Sarutobi's terrifying fighting power.

"Okay, I understand. I will report on the losses. I'll be leaving now."

Danzo Shimura, like a wilted eggplant, had lost all his previous energy and left the office dejectedly.

And isn't Hiruzen Sarutobi the same?

After seeing Danzo leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi put away the monkey and looked out the window alone.

I thought this year would be the year of his major purge.

Once she gets rid of all the 'parasites' in the village, Konoha will be hers to rule.

Who knew this plan was already about to begin?

This is where this unstable factor comes in.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no idea what Ame-no-Mikoto was there for.

Why did he do those strange things? It's said to have affected his plans, but it didn't.

If there was any impact, it was a vague connection between the feeling and the objectives of this mission.

What exactly does this kid do, and what is his purpose in doing all this?

Chapter 493 Eternal Youth

"Ha~"

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was worrying about the matter of Tenno,

On the other side, Tianyu had already arrived on the street, and his business for the day was almost finished.

Judging from the sky, it's almost been 100 days. If I go back to sleep now, I might not be able to get up tomorrow.

With that in mind, Tianyu decided to take a stroll around the streets to see if there was anything interesting.

It's also a good opportunity to see how Konoha Village was different from modern times decades ago.

Almost no shops were open along the way.

However, because some businesses need to open in the morning, many villagers have already come out of their homes.

After all, due to Hiruzen Sarutobi's oppression, the villagers are now rarely able to have enough to eat.

Furthermore, there are quite a few expenses in the village now.

Even the cost of water and electricity has reached an exorbitant level.

That's why the villagers now sleep at night and get up as soon as there's a glimmer of light in the early morning.

There's nothing dangerous in the jungle in the morning anyway.

So I went out to see if there was anything to eat to fill my stomach.

If you're lucky, you might even find a baby rabbit or something, and then you'll be able to eat the meat you've been longing for.

"Have you heard? A few days ago, the family at the east entrance of the village actually found a mouse."

"I'm so envious! I've heard that even the smell of meat makes my mouth water."

Two villagers walked past Tianyu, but their conversation made Tianyu frown slightly.

The conditions in Nandai Konoha Village have become so poor that they have to eat rats caught from their houses to fill their stomachs.

However, it seems that Tianyu didn't feel this way while he was in the hotel.

Actually, we should thank Hiruzen Sarutobi for this.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi was also a person who cared a lot about his image, he was very well prepared for this kind of diplomatic matter.

Basically, the prices at the hotel are the same as the normal prices outside.

However, everything in the hotel is sold to tourists, and the local villagers are all familiar with the hotel.

So you can't just sneak in and buy cheap stuff.

These villagers were extremely angry and wanted to confront Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, the trouble caused by the Roots was simply too much, and every time they went to complain, they would...

The next day, Genbu returned to their house and silently vandalized everything, destroying all the previous items.

Then, amidst a barrage of angry curses, the villagers' already impoverished lives were made even worse.

This led to a gradual decline in the villagers' willingness to file complaints.

They all accepted this way of life, which caused Konoha Village's economy to regress by decades.

Fewer and fewer people are working; it's mostly just starving people.

If it weren't for the fact that the village's ninjas were all very strong and able to maintain the village's economy...

It is now highly likely that Konoha Village will be completely kicked out of this circle by the five great villages!

"What exactly happened? Why are these things not recorded in the village's history?"

Tenyu's expression grew increasingly strange; he couldn't believe this was the daily life of the villagers of Konoha.

After all, none of these things ever happened in the village's history.

The records all describe how good the villagers' lives were.

Furthermore, the older generation of villagers in the village almost never mention this matter again.

"What method did Hiruzen Sarutobi use to silence those people?"

It was obvious that even the ninjas weren't entirely aware of these things.

Otherwise, Minato Namikaze wouldn't have entrusted his son to Hiruzen Sarutobi on his deathbed.

This led to Naruto Uzumaki becoming someone despised by everyone.

"I must find some time to take a good look at how Sarutobi-sama managed to do that."

After thinking about it for a moment, Tianyu stopped dwelling on these matters.

Since it's possible to do it, then it must be Sarutobi's own idea.

If I want to know, I'll wait until Hiruzen Sarutobi has recovered from what just happened.

It's not too late to ask in the past.

After wandering around the entire village, Tianyu finally stopped in front of a shop that was both very familiar and unfamiliar.

Isn't this Yile Ramen Shop, which has been passed down for who knows how many years?

Tianyu hesitated for a moment, but still decided to go in and see what Uncle Ichiraku looked like when he was young.

"Oh, a new face! Are you traveling from another village?"

When Yu walked in that day, he instinctively stood still, unable to believe his eyes.

Tianyu even went outside strangely, and only came back after a while, rubbing his eyes as he did so.

"What's going on? Are you some kind of middle-aged man?"

"You know me?"

Yi Le was a little surprised when he heard Tian Yu say his name.

Has my name become so famous that even people I've never met before recognize me?

"How is this possible? Why hasn't anything changed at all?"

Tianyu still couldn't quite believe his eyes and stared at Yile for a long time.

Because in this future Konoha Village, Ichiraku hasn't changed at all!

"Little one, what's wrong? Do you want a bowl of ramen?"

Yi Le squinted at Tian Yu, gave him a meaningful look, and then turned around and sat down.

"Oh, a bowl of pork ramen."
