I sell sweets in Konoha

How, how much he wanted to clear away the dark clouds and spread the name of peace and kindness.

But he failed...

No success.

If I don't stop, there is nothing I can do.Carrying the name of rebellion, he left the land that he cherished so much.Just living in this place.

"Hey..." Zabuza sighed.

He suppressed the strong emotion in his heart and took a bite of a small piece of biscuit.

'Oh my god? ! 'Zabuza feels even more, this small piece of biscuit is simply... simply!It’s so awesome that I have nothing to say!

They are completely different from those qualified products from the food industry!This is a crispy feeling, and the taste comes quickly and sweeps over the entire taste buds like an autumn wind sweeping down.

But this smell is not as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, this smell is more tender!

So soft, so delicate.

Every taste and love is injected into every corner of this biscuit, spreading gently on the tip of your tongue.

The sweet, slightly soft wheat aroma, the deep, yet slightly light milky aroma.The grains are plump but have sugar particles that melt in your mouth.It's like a beautiful and peaceful lullaby playing in your ears.

It is like a mother's call at home, reaching directly into your heart.

at this moment.

That heart....

Dissolved!

What has dissolved is the ice that seems to never melt, and the loneliness that seems to never be understood.

It's like a pair of warm, calloused hands slowly lifting your heart into its arms.I will protect you from the wind and rain, I will protect you from gossips, and I will weave clothes for you to protect you from the cold and wind and snow.

Mother....

The love that is as warm as coming from a mother flows through her body like a warm current.

After an unknown amount of time, Zabuza came back to his senses.He picked up this snack and left his house which looked like a dead house.Although I don’t know what a dead house is, I always feel that it is no longer a suitable place for me.

He slowly walked up to the highest point of the top-like building.

This is the rooftop, a place where only Kado was once qualified.

I found a corner and sat down, leaning against the railing of the rooftop, looking back at the forest, the edge, and the endless ocean.

He even looked at the bridge in the distance that connected various islands lying on the sea like a giant dragon.

Zabuza knew what this bridge meant and why it was built.

This is hope!This is the bridge to hope.

He embodies the strongest desire deep in the heart of the bridge builder. He longs to awaken the people of the Land of Waves through this bridge.Eager to sweep away the haze called Cardo through this bridge.

Perhaps this Dazuna is not as powerful as himself, but he has something that he once had but has lost.

Faith and persistence!

I once had these, and I was ambitious to pave the way for a bridge between the Kingdom of Water and Hidden Kirist Village, and guide the people of that place towards peace and strength.

But failure crushed all of this, and made him sink and lose himself in the face of this reality.

perhaps...

Maybe one day I will have to pick up what I abandoned, and maybe I need to say goodbye to the fallen self of the past.

perhaps...

"Isn't this last cookie very delicious?" Zabuza licked his fingers.

The last biscuit was not very tasty, not as delicious as the previous biscuits.

But this last cookie...

But there is one more blessing.

A hope!

Chapter 349: Say the cruelest words

"Oh, it seems that the construction of this bridge is progressing well." Zabuza stepped on the bridge and said sinisterly: "I wonder when you plan to cut the ribbon?"

"No more cut..."

Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and looked lazily at the person in front of him and said, "You... look a little different."

"What? Do you think I will always be the same as before?" Zabuza flexed his muscles and said: "Kakashi, you are a little too underestimated of me, right? I was able to make people cry back then. Kijin Zabuza is so scared that even a child can’t cry! Has Kijin Zabuza always been a ball?”

"Oh..." Kakashi said with approval, "Losing weight really requires perseverance."

"Our...forget it..."

"well enough..."

Kakashi was convinced and gave Mochi Zabuza a thumbs up.Losing weight requires perseverance and patience. There was a time when Danzo was so fat that he couldn't walk and couldn't lose weight.

The current third generation already looks like following in Danzo's footsteps.

As for the two former consultants of Konoha, they seem to be running on a road of no return during the late night snacks.

"Ah... you also need this kind of perseverance." Kakashi looked at his three students and said, "You are still young now, and you must not reach that level in the future."

"You must be able to withstand temptation, you must..."

Kakashi's words were serious and sincere, he was filled with emotion, and he had the face of someone who had experienced it.These three children must not be like Parker, only one step away from rebellion.

"Ah, what are you talking about~" Sakura said a little dissatisfied: "Absolutely! It's absolutely impossible to become like that!"

For girls, there is something that can overcome desire and the temptation of delicious food.

This kind of thing is the pursuit of beauty!

"I only ate half a bowl at lunch today!" Sakura said emphatically, "Not even half a fish! I even only ate one pickled radish strip!"

"I will not become like that. Kakashi-sensei, you are going too far! You actually think that I will become like that."

"This thing is simply..."

"That's enough! Shut up, sir!" Zabuza roared angrily: "You guys, do you think I'm here to gossip with you?"

"I don't have the time to talk to you about your family feud!"

"I only have two things to do here this time." Zabuza said cruelly: "Take away the old man's head, and take those two brats with him too!"

"I will never forget the last time I was so embarrassed."

"He is really a vengeful guy." Kakashi opened his forehead protector and showed his Sharingan.

This Zabuza is different. When we played against him before, that guy was as fat as a ball. He couldn't walk or run. He couldn't breathe even after being beaten twice.

It's good to throw it to your apprentice to practice, but this Zabuza is different.

Having lost all my excess fat in such a short period of time, I think my body shape has not returned to its peak, but it should be very close.

A jounin, even if he neglects training for a period of time, is still a jounin.Moreover, this is an elite with rich actual combat experience and strong combat effectiveness.

This Zabuza is not easy to deal with.

"This Sand Hidden Village in the Kingdom of Wind is not easy to deal with."

In the Hokage's office building, Junko held her own Coke and said to Danzo with a sad face: "Danzo-sama, what do you think of the Land of Wind and Sunagakure Village?"

Previously, Junko was happy to discuss major matters with Sandai.

But now, Junko is more willing to discuss some things with Danzo than with the third generation.

Because the biggest difference between Danzo and Sandai is that Sandai is an idealist, while Danzo is a realist.The biggest similarity between these two people is that they are prone to extremes.

It is easy for the third generation to deal with some things very idealistically, thinking from the best perspective that others have good intentions.

Danzo, on the other hand, starts from a realistic perspective. Although it is realistic, it is easy to do nothing once a change is discovered.

Even so, Junko found that as long as she mastered this size.

Danzo's suggestion seemed more practical.

"The Kingdom of Wind, Sand Hidden Village..." Danzo drank tea and said in a slightly lower voice: "You want to ask me what I think, so you want to ask how to stop the war?"

"Or how to deal with it after the war?"

"War is inevitable." Junko has never been naive, she said very realistically: "So how to avoid war."

"That's not my plan."

Junko has no intention of preventing this war from starting.

From preparation to the final outbreak of war, it cannot be accomplished in a day or two!Regardless of the purpose and concerns, the war machine has already started.

The outbreak of war is almost a foregone conclusion, and it cannot be stopped easily.

In this case, the only way to start is to think about how to win and how to deal with the aftermath.

For Junko, there is...

"I'm thinking about how to make some places as white as possible." Junko spread out a map and said, "Master Danzo, look at this map."

"I have been plotting and planning for a long time. I have discussed it many times with the city construction officials and experts sent by the lords of the Fire Country."

"This is an ideal solution. If it goes well, we can go from here to here."

"Connect these places together to create a complete industrial park."

"Oh?" Danzo looked at the map with great interest and said, "So this is why you, the girl, have been discussing with those guys recently how to renovate the map?"

Danzo was very interested. This reconstruction of Konoha was not a secret. As the Hokage, Junko's communication with those experts and officials was not known to everyone, but it was known to many people.

There is some opposition to this.For example, the third generation, such as Koharu and Mito Menyan.

On this point, these three people have the same view. They all think that the investment in large-scale construction projects is too much!There are currently many places where Konoha needs money, so this matter can be slowed down.

Moreover, Konoha is still in the reform period, and stability is the first priority.

Of course, some people agree, such as Danzo.

He knew very well that as the situation stabilized, Konoha's internal forces began to become entangled.The forces of the ninja clan that had been defeated and dispersed by the Nine-Tailed Night began to regroup.

New political forces and classes began to form.

This is not a good thing for the development of Konoha and the rights of Hokage.

Another shuffle is needed to freshen it all up.

The re-planned construction of Konoha Village is a test and suppression of this special class.

Therefore, Danzo is still very supportive of this matter.

"You girl, you really think well." Danzo squinted his eyes, the more he looked at Junko, the more he liked her.If this matter were left to the old man Sandai, he would just go out of his way to remind him which ninja clans to pay attention to and pay attention to their movements.

The three generations will not care about it, let it go, and even naively think that it is enough to persuade and have a heart-to-heart talk.

This girl is different, she will suppress her if she finds out.

"Hmm...very good." Danzo looked at the map carefully for a while and said, "I agree."

"Sunagakure Village...and the Sound Ninja Village...well...not bad, not bad!"

Danzo now said even more cheerfully: "You girl know how to plan."

He now understood that Junko was planning to use this war to go to Konoha to carry out a new round of political reshuffle!Just like the night of the Nine Tails.

Using the destruction and post-disaster reconstruction caused by the Nine-Tails, the entire political power of Konoha will undergo a new round of political reshuffle.

Strengthen the Hokage's authority.

Junko was planning to do the same thing.

"Here... why are there two Uchiha families and four Hyuga families?" Danzo pointed to the five new ninja clans on the map and asked: "Junko, isn't it a bit redundant for you to do this? "

"This and this." Junko pointed to these points and said, "These three are the Uchiha family's cola factory, and the Hinata family's chocolate factory and brewery."

"This is the clan land of the Uchiha family, and these two are the clan lands of the Hyuga family."

"As I said before, active ninjas are prohibited from doing business, so the three factories were moved out of their clan territory and into the food industrial zone."

"There is nothing controversial about this, but Danzo-sama may need to take the lead."
