Chapter 22 One Ji(3/3)
The main issues discussed were all about the future development plan of the village.
For now, the Third Hokage prefers internal stability and does not need to pay attention to external matters for the time being.
This was not just because of the complicated situation within Konoha, but because Hiruzen felt that his body was getting tired day by day and he no longer had the energy to take care of both ends.
"As expected, post-war recovery and development will require a large amount of funds. Don't bring this up in meetings. I heard that the Uchiha side is starting to make trouble again."
Danzo ignored Mito Kaden and Koharu who were managing the logistics, and looked directly at Hiruzen with sharp eyes.
The reason why he came to attend this kind of meeting was because the Uchiha side seemed to adopt a different strategy than before, which made him quite concerned.
Hiruzen nodded and said, "They hope to choose territory in the village again."
"Didn't they already have a large piece of land granted to them? And it's probably bigger than the Uchiha clan's land in the past."
Danzo said calmly.
"Having said that, the land is too far from the center of the village."
"Because such a trivial matter is still causing trouble, it's really petty. However, we can't turn a blind eye to this kind of proposal. I'm afraid they have evil intentions now."
Looking at this close friend who symbolized darkness in front of him, Hiruzen was slightly speechless.
It would be too arbitrary to conclude that Uchiha has evil intentions.
"The Yondaime's last words told us to be careful of the Mangekyou Sharingan. The Uchiha clan may have already united with the rebel ninja."
Hiruzen and the other three have long been accustomed to Danzo's family talk.
Among the higher-ups, the one who has the greatest prejudice against Uchiha is undoubtedly Danzo.
The roots were initially established and were related to monitoring Uchiha.
"I will let the ANBU follow up the investigation. Whether the original Kyuubi incident has any connection with the Uchiha in the village cannot be determined yet."
Hiruzen suspected that Danzo did this intentionally.
As various things happened, the Anbu personnel under him began to disperse.
As a result, less force is used to suppress the roots.
Therefore, while sending out the ANBU, you should pay more attention to the movements of the roots.
Danzo snorted, obviously not satisfied with this result.
Hiruzen ignored Danzo's dissatisfaction, and then brought up another matter.
"Let's not mention the Uchiha matter for now, there is one more important thing to explain."
Danzo stood up and planned to leave, but when he heard that Hiruzen had something to explain, he sat back in his chair and glanced at Hiruzen.
Hiruzen took out a document bag, pulled out a document from it, and placed it in front of Danzo and the others.
"This is the transfer student information from the Kingdom of Ghosts. Take a look."
"A transfer student from the Kingdom of Ghosts?"
"Her Royal Highness Princess Mahiru Kazuhime, the adopted daughter of Maitreya Miko of the Demon Country, admires our Konoha culture very much and is interested in studying in our ninja school."
Judging from Hiruzen's relaxed tone, he was quite willing to do this for him.
Putting aside the current booming business prospects of the Demon Country, being able to attract princesses from neutral countries to study at Konoha Ninja School is also a good talk that will bring great face to Konoha.
Otherwise, why didn't the other party go to ninja villages like Kumogakure and Sunagakure?
Choosing Konoha alone is obviously an affirmation of Konoha Ninja Village.
For Konoha, which has few allies internationally, this can be said to be an unexpected surprise.
"Mahiru Kazuhime...the adopted daughter of a miko from the Kingdom of Demons? This is the first time I've heard of it."
However, it is impossible to fake this matter. You only need to confirm it with a witch from the Kingdom of Ghosts to know whether it is true or not.
"This is also the first time I have heard of it, but there is a letter written by Maitreya Maitreya from the Kingdom of Ghosts, and the identity of this princess is certain. What do you think?"
Hiruzen asked the three people for their opinions.
Danzo just glanced at it, stood up without interest, and walked out of the conference room.
"As Hokage, you can make your own decision on this matter. I don't have time to pay attention to a little girl from outside."
After Danzo left, Hiruzen looked at Koharu and Mito Monen who were sleeping.
"There's no problem with Danzo anymore, what do you think?"
"Yes. We Konoha and the Kingdom of Demons have always maintained a good cooperative relationship, and there is no reason to refuse. Moreover, Konoha and the Kingdom of Demons have had similar cooperation in the past. This is another great opportunity to demonstrate the authority of our Konoha Ninja School.
Opportunity, Hiruzen, you must agree to it."
After turning to bed, Koharu and Mito Monohan looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
If ninja villages like Sunagakure and Kumogakure were to make such a request to Konoha, they might hesitate and be wary of any traps.
But since it is a neutral country, there is no problem.
"I know, I am also inclined to do so. I will contact Maitreya Miko as soon as possible and let Princess Ichihime attend Konoha Ninja School."
The visitor was a princess of a country, and Hiruzen did not dare to neglect her.
He had already begun to consider which ANBU team to send to protect the personal safety of the princess while she was in Konoha.
