After hearing what Uchiha Yuzuru said, everyone's eyes lit up.

If one could obtain a ninja with a bloodline limit, their value would be immeasurable.

"Okay, then let's do as you say, Yuzuru."

The Third Raikage readily agreed.

So that's how things can be done! Why didn't he think of this before?

If other villages hadn't already provided compensation, he wouldn't have dared to go back on his word and demand an exorbitant amount.

He absolutely had to make the other villages send over a few bloodline limit ninjas as compensation!

Masashi and Tsuchida exchanged a glance and both gave a wry smile.

Uchiha Yuzuru is practically a reincarnation of the Demon Orb, isn't he?

With such a stubborn and unwilling-to-suffer-anything personality, he'd probably taste the saltiness of a manure cart as it passed by.

Compensation to ninjas with bloodline limits...

How could he even think of that!

Uchiha Yuzuru was naturally unaware of what Masashi Azabu and Tsuchida were thinking; otherwise, he probably would have thrown them directly into the cesspool.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, he said to the Third Raikage, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. We can't let Sunagakure just send us any random bloodline limit."

Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru walk outside, the Third Raikage asked, "Yuzuru, where are you going?"

Uchiha Yuzuru's lips curled into a smirk: "I'll send the thank-you letter we wrote to Konoha first."

Chapter 75 Thanks to the Konoha brothers for sending the Uchiha clan.

The streets were bustling with people, but everyone's face showed signs of exhaustion.

Reflecting on the events of the past year.

First, the Uchiha clan defected, and then the Nine-Tails went berserk.

Immediately following this was the war with Kumogakure.

Not long after, the ninja alliance operation organized by the daimyo of various countries ended in failure again.

After a series of events, both the ninjas and villagers of Konoha lived in dire poverty.

Many people struggle to make a living every day, yet even a full meal has become a luxury.

They never imagined that Konoha would one day fall to such a state.

Suddenly, several vortexes appeared in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of objects fell downwards from the vortex.

The villagers of Konoha suddenly looked terrified.

"No, enemy attack!"

"It's an explosive tag! Everyone get out of the way!"

"Help! I don't want to die..."

The villagers were thrown into chaos, running around in panic with their heads in their hands.

But they soon realized something was wrong.

The vortex in the sky had disappeared, and the expected explosion did not occur.

Many people curiously returned to the streets, only to discover that what fell from the sky were not explosive tags at all, but rather letters-like objects.

"Strange, what's going on?"

"I don't know, is it a show put on by the village?"

"Everyone, look! These envelopes have 'thank you letter' written on them."

Seeing that there was no danger, the villagers of Konoha began to curiously pick up the envelopes from the ground.

Each envelope had the words "Thank You Letter" written on it.

This left everyone somewhat puzzled.

Why go through all this trouble just to send over some thank-you notes?

But even if you want to thank them, do you really need to write so much?

That was terrifying!

Filled with curiosity, the villagers of Konoha began to open the envelopes on the ground.

The next second, their expressions immediately turned angry.

Because all these thank-you letters were written by those bastards from Hidden Cloud Village!

"Thank you, brothers of Konoha, for sending such powerful figures as the Uchiha clan and Sakumo Hatake to our Kumogakure. You are truly kind people..."

"You might not know, but our Hidden Cloud Village used to be incredibly poor. Many people couldn't even afford to eat. But ever since the Uchiha clan came to our village, we've had so many job openings that we can't keep up. Even when prices went up, employers were lining up to compete for the spots. In that sense, your Leaf Village is our benefactor! Anyway, I need to go get some barbecue now. I'm eating eight barbecue meals a day, and I'm stuffed to the point of bursting, but there's nothing I can do. I have so much money I can't possibly spend it all..."

"Brothers of Konoha, now that we in Kumogakure have defeated the Allied Shinobi Forces, we are the strongest ninja village in the ninja world. But guess what? Ten thousand of you died, while we suffered not a single casualty. This glorious achievement is ultimately thanks to the Uchiha clan, whom you look down upon. You know Uchiha Yuzuru, right? He killed several thousand of you with a single slash, hehehe..."

"By the way, you might not know this, but the Uchiha clan has so many ninjutsu scrolls and training resources. As expected of a prestigious ninja clan, every ninja in our Hidden Cloud Village has benefited a lot from them, and their strength has improved significantly..."

"Also, our Land of Lightning is currently undertaking infrastructure construction. Roads, bridges, houses... all sorts of facilities are being built, and they're absolutely stunning. We're truly amazed! But don't worry, we don't need to spend a single penny; your compensation payments are more than enough..."

"Now that I think about it, if it weren't for the fact that your entire village rejected the Uchiha clan, how could we be living such a good life now? We are deeply grateful and will gladly kowtow to you if we ever meet again. Right now, we can only write a letter of thanks to express our gratitude to Konoha."

"Furthermore, we must give special thanks to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane. If it weren't for their constant suppression of the Uchiha clan and their seizure of their property, the Uchiha clan would not have left Konoha. If they hadn't pushed Sakumo Hatake out as a scapegoat, the legendary White Fang, who shook the ninja world, would not have come to our Kumogakure. Such great people must live to be a hundred years old. We hope they can maintain their power in Konoha forever, otherwise the ninjas from other villages will be the first to object. Thank you again!"

"I almost forgot, my Uchiha brothers asked me to tell you that after leaving Konoha, they discovered that there was no rain outside at all. Everyone treats them like treasures, and they are living very comfortably now. Don't worry about them."

"One last question: now that the people you all hated have left the village, you must be living happily now, right?"

As they read the contents of the thank-you letters, the Konoha members blushed, feeling both ashamed and angry.

Many people swayed unsteadily, and almost fainted on the spot from anger.

Their original life was one of plenty, while the ninjas of Kumogakure were often hungry and cold.

But now it's completely reversed. They're starving for three days and nine meals a day, while those bastards from Cloud Village are enjoying barbecue!

In two wars, they lost so many comrades, while the ninjas of Kumogakure suffered almost no casualties...

Not only are they unable to keep up with all the hiring jobs, but they are also using compensation funds to carry out large-scale infrastructure projects, which they have painstakingly scraped together from one company to another!

They even said they hoped Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado would live to be a hundred years old and firmly grasp the power of Konoha, and that they would be the first to oppose anyone who didn't support these people...

Our village is electing a Hokage, what business is it of yours!

You're happy to see these guys continue to cause trouble for us, aren't you?

And then they even dared to ask them if they were happy...

Don't you bastards know whether we're happy or not?

If it were Cloud Village where people died, lost money, and went hungry, would you be happy?

Those bastards from Kumogakure are absolutely infuriating!

What's the difference between this and using a close-range ultimate attack?

Life is hard enough as it is, and now I have to be mocked so openly...

What terrible things have they done?!

But no matter how angry they were, the villagers of Konoha still couldn't resist wanting to see what the Cloud Village ninja had written on the other envelopes.

And so, people watched and cursed at the same time, and many actually watched for a whole day and night.

It's not that I'm not sleepy, it's just that I'm so frustrated that I can't fall asleep.

When the sun rose again, the villagers of Konoha had bloodshot eyes, almost as large as the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

The most enviable thing in the world isn't that someone is doing better than you, but that the people you used to look down on are now living the life you dream of, while your life gets worse every day...

The streets of Konoha were still crowded, but an eerie silence pervaded the area.

After an unknown amount of time, someone spoke up in a hoarse voice: "Do you think if we go and apologize to the Uchiha clan now, they will be willing to come back?"

"Konoha was founded by the Uchiha clan; this is their true home!"

No one answered him, because the facts were undeniable.

Unless the Uchiha clan members have all lost their minds, how could they possibly return to Konoha?

But these words made the villagers of Konoha start thinking about something all at once—

If the Uchiha clan hadn't left Konoha, would their lives have become like the thank-you letter written by the ninjas of Kumogakure?

The answer is self-evident.

Before the Uchiha clan left Konoha, they were already enjoying the life that the ninjas of Kumogakure were living.

Life is stable, and there is no worry about food or drink.

Everything that is happening in Konoha now is inextricably linked to the departure of the Uchiha clan.

At that moment, the villagers of Konoha began to regret their actions. They finally realized that they seemed to have lost something extremely important...

Chapter 76 The Hokage Building is Surrounded

The Hokage's office was filled with smoke.

Like the villagers of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi also didn't sleep a wink all night.

On his desk were nearly a hundred thank-you letters written by ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village.

The contents of each letter shocked him.

Especially the letter that Uchiha Yuzuru wrote to him personally, it was like killing someone's spirit. When Hiruzen Sarutobi first saw it, he was almost furious.

"My dear Third Hokage, how have you been lately?"

"After leaving Konoha, a lot happened, and I finally realized that the person we Uchiha clan should be most grateful to is you."

"In order to make us decide to leave the village, you have gone to great lengths to coerce and ostracize our Uchiha clan with your ugly face."

"Later, the Nine-Tails went berserk, and Konoha Village suffered heavy losses. However, in order to enable us to live a prosperous life outside, you still decisively raised 10 billion ryo to make compensation, which almost moved me to tears."

"Not long after, for my safety, you used public opinion to force Sakumo Hatake to leave, and I gained a powerful bodyguard like Sakumo Hatake by my side."

"Later, seeing that our Land of Lightning was short of funds for large-scale infrastructure construction, you again took advantage of the Daimyo's orders to send people to their deaths, and once again generously donated 10 billion ryo..."

"Back when we lived in Konoha, our Uchiha clan was very dissatisfied with you, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane. But now that we've left the village, we've discovered your merits."

"You must take good care of yourselves and keep Konoha firmly in your own hands. If anyone tries to overthrow your rule, please remember... I, Uchiha Yuzuru, will always be your strongest support."

"Rogue ninja Uchiha Yuzuru—Loyalty!"

The strong sense of mockery made Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turn as red as a monkey's bottom.

He is now filled with regret.

If he had known things would turn out this way, he would have been willing to risk Konoha being conquered by other ninja villages in order to make the Uchiha clan disappear from the world completely!

Just then, the office door was pushed open with a loud bang.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up and saw that Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo Shimura had already walked up to him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said somewhat displeasedly, "Danzo, didn't I tell you to be grounded?"

Danzo Shimura roared, "Confined? What kind of confinement is this! Everyone outside is saying I'm the only pig who led the allied forces of the four great ninja villages and still suffered a crushing defeat!"

"Everyone's demanding that I atone with my death!"

He also planned to gain prestige through the Allied Shinobi Forces, using it as political capital for his Hokage campaign.

Now you've gained reputation, but it's infamous reputation!

His reputation is ruined. How can he be Hokage in the future?

Koharu Utatane chimed in, "Me too! These letters say I've been embezzling public funds and misappropriating Uchiha clan assets—that's utter nonsense..."

Koharu, who was turning the bed, paused for a moment, then continued, "That's just alarmist talk!"

Mitokado Homura echoed, "Hiruzen, all these letters must be collected. We absolutely cannot let them circulate in the village."
