Konoha: The New Will of Fire

"Finally home!"

Naruto stood under a stone monument several meters high, with the two bright red characters of Konoha engraved on it, raising his hands in the air and shouting happily.

Seeing the stone monument in front of them, Sakura and Sasuke also had faint smiles on their faces, and they completely relaxed in their mental arithmetic. Although they had completed the mission along the way, the dangers experienced during this mission made several people remain vigilant. At this moment , returned to the village, this vigilance finally dropped.

Sasuke subconsciously glanced at Kakashi, who was still lazy next to him, and recalled in his mind what Kakashi had said to them. What they had experienced in the past was nothing compared to the real mission.

Sasuke didn't understand it before, but now he finally understands it. At the same time, it's hard for Sasuke to imagine what the kind of war that swept the entire ninja world would be like.

The lazy Kakashi-sensei in front of them became a genius at the age of 12 during the war, which means that at their current age, Kakashi-sensei is already a jounin who has experienced many wars.

Noticing Sasuke's gaze, Kakashi glanced at Sasuke subconsciously, then immediately withdrew his gaze and immersed himself in the Kissing Heaven book in his hand.

Shiro looked at the boundary monument in front of him and asked softly: "After here, do you reach Konoha?"

Naruto explained with a smile: "Well, after passing the boundary monument, we are in the Konoha area. But to get to Konoha, we still need to climb a mountain, but it will be quick."

"When you get back to the village, I'll treat you to the most delicious barbecue. Then I'll call the other people to introduce you to them and help you join Konoha."

Sakura directly pointed out Naruto's little thoughts: "I think you want to brag in front of Shikaku and the others, bragging that you have completed A-level tasks, but Shikaku and the others can only accept the lowest D-level and C-level tasks." ."

After being exposed by Sakura, Naruto was instantly embarrassed and wanted to dig out two rooms and one living room on the ground with his toes.

"Hey, Sakura, at least you can save some face for me. Bragging is only a small part, and most of it is for Bai Jiefeng to wash away the dust."

Looking at the bickering Sakura and Naruto, Shiro smiled softly: "People say that Konoha is the best place in the entire ninja world. People who have been to Konoha don't want to leave there. I also want to come to Konoha, but I have never had the chance. , today, I can also see the best places in people’s mouths.”

"At that time, I will need you to show me around Konoha, Naruto."

Naruto patted his chest and assured: "No problem, there are few people who are more familiar with Konoha than me. When the time comes, I will bring you all kinds of delicious food and fun things."

Bai nodded, raised his head and looked ahead, thinking, what is the rumored best place in the ninja world like?

Not only Shiro but also Zabuza were equally curious. He was also curious about the village of Konoha. What was the legendary strongest ninja village like?

"Okay, you guys, don't talk here anymore. When we return to the village, we still need to report on the mission. Zabuza and Haku also have to meet the Hokage."

Kakashi stopped the conversation between several people, closed the book, and walked forward along the road, followed by Naruto and others, and the group crossed a hill.

After crossing the hill, the sight in front of me instantly expanded and the scene changed.

Zabuza and Byakuya's eyes suddenly widened, their mouths opened slightly, their faces full of shock and astonishment, and they froze in place like a piece of wood.

In front of them was a huge town, no, it should be said to be a huge city, with rows of tall buildings standing like sardine cans.

In the middle of the high-rise buildings is a clean and wide street. There is a row of flowers in the middle to separate the road. There are a large number of trees planted on both sides and various landscapes. There are chairs placed at regular intervals next to the sidewalk for pedestrians to rest. A small square has been built at each street entrance with public toilets.

There are rows of shops on both sides of the road, and all kinds of billboards are plastered on the walls. The road is crowded with people, and people are laughing and laughing.

Their faces did not face the suffering of the war or the pain of losing their loved ones, and their faces were full of happiness.

Seeing this scene, Zabuza and Shiro were filled with shock that could not be described in words. During their escape life, they had been to many countries, many ninja villages, and even the capital of the country, but they all It is not as prosperous as the Konoha Village in front of me, let alone high-rise buildings.

Even the capitals of those big countries are far inferior to the Konoha in front of them. In comparison, they are like the gap between the capitals of big countries and small remote villages.

Zabuza glanced at the construction site outside from the corner of his eye, and his pupils suddenly tightened.

I saw various life-style ninjas playing their roles. The ninjas who knew how to escape from the earth were smoothing and compacting the uneven land. The ninjas who knew how to escape from the water were controlling a large amount of water flow to accurately drop into the cement and sand and stir it. There are a large number of shadow clones of ninjas sitting around doing various tasks.

Before that, Zabuza thought that it was just a rumor in the ninja world that Konoha ninjas could choose life-oriented professions, because any ninja was a valuable fighting force for the village. When the war came, even genin would go to the battlefield. How could the ninja village put it? Important ninja combat power was used in such a wasteful place, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, Zabuza was obviously shocked.

Bai pointed at the tall buildings and asked curiously: "Why are these tall buildings built?"

Sakura, the top student next to her, explained: "This is because as the population of the village increases, the available area becomes less and less. In order to accommodate so many people, high-rise buildings can only be built. However, this is actually only the outside. The area is still dominated by wooden buildings.”

"The people living on the periphery are not actually considered members of Konoha. They just rely on Konoha for their lives and have temporary residence permits. Some of these people are refugees from other countries, and some are workers from nearby villages who come to work."

Bai nodded in realization, but still sighed: "It's really big, Konoha is bigger than any city I have ever seen."

Naruto said with a proud look on his face: "That's not true. The population of Konoha has now exceeded 70. It is expected that within five years, the population will exceed one million."

As a ninja of Konoha Village, speaking of the village is naturally filled with pride.

"There are so many people!"

Haku and Zabuza sighed at the same time, but their thoughts were in completely different directions. Haku thought that Konoha was so big, with a population of 70, that it should be the largest city in the world.

But what Zabuza thinks about is the potential for war. Generally speaking, even among the five great ninja villages, the population of each village, including ninjas and ordinary people, does not exceed one hundred thousand at most. The number of each of the five great ninja villages is more than [-]. Even if there is a difference, it is limited.

Today, there are actually 70 people in Konoha Ninja Village. Even if most of them are ordinary people, the number of Konoha ninjas is definitely around [-]. No wonder Konoha allows ninjas to engage in lifestyle occupations.

With such a huge number of ninjas, coupled with Konoha's technological strength, economy and resources, it is no wonder that the other four major ninja villages can only deal with Konoha if they unite.

This is just the war potential at this time. A population of 70 means a huge birth rate every year. The large number of births also means that there will be many babies qualified to become ninjas.

If Konoha is given another ten years to develop, Konoha will be able to destroy the four major ninja villages with just one village.
