Naruto: Starting with Dual Kamui

Chapter 343 On the cusp of the storm! (55)

After the destruction of Konoha Village, tens of thousands of people lost their homes. Post-disaster reconstruction was a top priority, but more than a month later, there was not much progress in the reconstruction project.

It turns out that the Fire Nation was unwilling to provide funds for the reconstruction of Konoha due to the public opinion of this incident.

Konoha's original funds were basically used for the Chunin Exam attack and pensions for the families of the victims.

Affected by this series of evil incidents, Konoha's reputation has been greatly reduced, and the number of commissions has dropped off a cliff. To put it bluntly, Konoha is extremely poor.

Seeing the people's resentment growing day by day, the Fifth Hokage Hatake Kakashi took the lead and donated his savings from many years of missions out of his own pocket. Major families and jounin also responded one after another, but compared to the funds needed for reconstruction, this was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, Jiraiya, who returned from Mt. Miaomu, used the technique of the Wood Release Lianzhu Family to relieve some of the pressure.

But Jiraiya's Wood Release, after all, is far away from Lin Yu and Hashirama, and he cannot use the techniques of the Lianzhu family on a large scale.

Therefore, the key to solving the problem comes back to financing.

Kakashi even shamelessly approached Jiraiya and asked him in a subtle way if he would be willing to use the royalties from the novel's creation for the construction of the village.

Jiraiya reluctantly took out his bankbook. The balance on it was very little.

It turned out that most of Jiraiya's savings were used by Tsunade in gambling. She always lost every bet, which was equivalent to wasting money.

Jiraiya also secretly saved some of it to prepare a dowry for his daughter Youmeng in the future.

With no other option, Konoha held an emergency meeting to raise funds.

Hokage Kakashi, advisors, heads of major families, and named jounin are all here.

Oh, Asuma is here too, he has just been discharged from the hospital, sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by Shikamaru, but his eyes have lost their former brightness and are dull.

His arrival made the atmosphere even more depressing. They all knew what Asuma was going through, but what else could they do besides sympathize with them? Could they cut off their own little guy and put him in a place?

"Ahem." Kakashi cleared his throat and said solemnly: "It is urgent to raise funds. I hope everyone here can put forward effective suggestions."

Someone said: "Call on the public to raise funds. They are under the protection of Konoha and have this obligation."

Kakashi said: "Most of them lost their loved ones in this disaster, and they are already full of resentment. We can't let them lose money anymore."

Someone said: "Borrow it from other villages."

Kakashi said without hope: "Kirigakure has just recovered from the blood mist era and has no spare power to help us. As for Sunagakure Village, they themselves can't even take care of it. With that Rasa's style, they are not like Kumogakure and Iwagakure." I find it incredible to get up and take advantage of the situation."

At this time, a representative of the Konoha Intelligence Department spoke: "I just recently learned the truth about the fact that Sunagakure Village did not take advantage of the situation."

Everyone turned their attention.

"Sunagakure Village originally wanted to join the war and plunder the resources of the Country of Fire, but they suddenly received a huge amount of funds."

"It's huge, how huge is it?" Kakashi asked.

"Conservative estimate, 10 billion taels"

"What?" Almost everyone here was stunned by this terrifying number.

"Who can provide them with such a huge amount of assistance?" This is everyone's question.

"Everyone must be mentally prepared if I say it," the man said in a low voice.

"Gudong" Everyone swallowed and listened attentively.

"It's the Hidden Village"

The booming words stirred up a thousand waves.

Huaqiu Dao Dingzuo burst out in anger: "The hidden village is dependent on a small country. How can it get such huge funds? This is impossible."

"I can only guarantee that my information is correct. As for where the money from Dark Hidden Village comes from, I don't know."

"Speaking of which, An Yin Village has completed an expansion in the past few years, and there are even plans for a second expansion recently. There are various signs that they have made a fortune without our knowledge."

"Then borrow it from Anyin Village." Soon, there was such a proposal.

"Isn't this appropriate?" someone worried.

"This is our only life-saving straw. When Konoha is in trouble, the only one who comes to our aid thousands of miles away is the Anyin Village. The only one who has the conditions and the possibility to help us tide over the difficulties is the Anyin Village."

"The question is, who is going to contact Anyin Village?"

Almost everyone looked at Kakashi as the Hokage.

Kakashi's face, which was covered by a mask, was full of embarrassment, and he was filled with bitterness in his heart: Obito just saved me not long ago, saving Konoha from danger, and I am struggling with how to repay him this huge favor. , how can I ask him to borrow money now?

"Kakashi, Godaime, you are the Hokage"

"This arduous mission belongs to you alone."

"That's not a good thing to say, because you are a disciple of the Fourth Generation. In the Fire Country, there are many people who hate Minato and do not approve of you becoming Hokage."

"Once you succeed, the people will be grateful to you, and those who oppose will shut up. Your position as Hokage will be completely secure."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes were uncertain, and his hands tightly grasped the armrests of his wheelchair.

""The attentive Nara Shikaku discovered this detail and immediately gave his son a look.

Shikamaru understood and pushed Asuma in the wheelchair away from this place of right and wrong.

Kakashi was unable to shirk the blame and was about to respond when Shikaku Nara spoke at this moment: "I have something to say, everyone here might as well listen to it."

Kakashi's eyes lit up: "Say it, Shikaku."

Nara Shikaku said: "The biggest criticism of Konoha today is the former Hokage Minato. Although he is also a victim, he did not play the role of Hokage in this series of events. This is an indisputable fact and is also criticized by the public. The root of it.”

"We should give Minato a chance to make contributions to Konoha. It can not only restore his reputation, but also calm the people's resentment to a certain extent. If Minato's criticism can be subsided, it will be good for Konoha in the long run. What do you think about this plan?”

Everyone present had different expressions. In fact, it was not just the people, but many of them were angry at Watergate.

Someone said: "As far as my personal feelings are concerned, I don't want him to turn over, but considering that he is a fifth-generation teacher, I will give him a chance to make up for his mistakes."

Someone said: "If it is for Konoha, I will reluctantly vote in favor."

"Kakashi, what's your opinion?" Shikaku looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi said complicatedly: "Then let the teacher take action."
