Start your journey to immortality from Naruto

Coming out of his home, Chen An came to the edge of Konoha Village.

"Ice Escape: Ice Mark Century!"

Chen An was the first to use the Ice Mark Century. Even without using the Chakra Circulation Technique, the Ice Mark Century spread rapidly to the surroundings at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Sure enough, the Sage Body is a permanent Sage Mode. The chakra circulation technique has permanently integrated the Sage Mode into my body."

"The more Sage Chakra I have, the stronger my Sage Body will be."

Chen An looked at the ice area which was much larger than the Ice Mark Century that he usually cast using chakra. He smiled and said,

After that, Chen An tried to test physical skills and illusions. He found that in the immortal mode of the immortal body, both the power of physical skills and the power of illusions were stronger than before.

Chen An even discovered that when he was in the state of immortal body, circulating chakra would give him a feeling of unity between man and nature, and every attack seemed to be able to mobilize the power of nature to attack.

After fully understanding his abilities, Chen An returned home with satisfaction.

"Danzo, how could you do this?"

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted angrily at Danzo Shimura when he faced Danzo Shimura.

"What's wrong with me? Isn't this all for the sake of Konoha Village?"

Facing the roar of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo Shimura spoke to Sarutobi Hiruzen tirelessly.

"You are still being stubborn. We asked you to recruit people from other countries, not to plunder people from other countries. You said you were only responsible for recruiting people from the Kingdom of Hot Springs, so why did you bring back these people from the village, as well as people from the Kingdom of Iron?"

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen angrily slammed the table and shouted at Danzo Shimura.

"The people of the Iron Country saw us. When we were recruiting people from the Hot Spring Country, they followed us. I can't send them back. This will seriously affect the image of the village."

Facing the roar of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo Shimura said indifferently.

"You also know how to affect the image of the village."

After hearing what Danzo Shimura said, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry that he laughed.

"Do you know that with your recruitment method, the number of people in our Konoha Village will soon attract the attention of the Fire Country Daimyo, which will seriously affect the interests of our Konoha Village? Do you know this?"

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen adjusted his emotions and spoke to Danzo Shimura very seriously.

"Hey, Sarutobi. Do you believe it or not? Hyuga, little guy, you definitely know what to do about this matter?"

When Danzo Shimura heard Sarutobi Hiruzen mention the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he immediately smiled and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"No, what do you mean by mentioning that little guy Ri'an at this time?"

When the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen heard what Danzo Shimura said, he looked at Danzo Shimura in confusion and asked.

"Sarutobi, have you forgotten? The first person who proposed this method of recruiting people from other countries to the village was that little guy Hyuga Hiya. Even if I don't recruit people this way, after a while, the number of people will still make the Fire Country Daimyo wary."

"You know, that little guy has been in charge of the development direction of the Hyuga clan since he was young. Wouldn't he know that recruiting people like this would attract the attention of the Fire Country Daimyo?"

Danzo Shimura looked at the confused expression of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Although under Chen An's suggestion, he, the disciple of the Second Hokage, completely lost the qualifications to become the next Hokage.

But Shimura Danzo believed that the little guy Hinata Hinata was definitely a hawk like himself.

That little guy not only wants Konoha Village to unify the ninja world, he even wants to abolish the daimyo.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, on the other side, was suddenly confused after hearing the question raised by Danzo Shimura.

Is it true that Hyuga Hiya is going to attack the Fire Country Daimyo as Shimura Danzo said?

"Danzo, I don't care what happens, but please be more restrained in the way you recruit people. Don't let the daimyos from other countries come looking for you, do you hear me?"

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it and decided to suppress the matter for the time being and wait and see how things develop before making a decision.

"Oh oh oh, I know."

Listening to the words of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo realized that his old friend had already compromised. All he had to do next was to be more covert and not care about what Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Even if the Fire Country Daimyo attacks Konoha Village, Shimura Danzo believes that Hinata Hibiki is absolutely capable of resolving the threat from the Fire Country Daimyo.

Daming Mansion.

As expected by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, when Shimura Danzo was frantically recruiting civilians to join Konoha Village, his behavior was discovered by the guardian ninja under the Fire Country Daimyo and reported to the Fire Country Daimyo.

"Damiya, Konoha Village's behavior must be stopped, otherwise Konoha Village will be completely out of our control. We will also be powerless to restrain Konoha Village."

"If Konoha Village attacks us, it will be a disaster for the Land of Fire!"

The adviser of the Fire Country Daimyo spoke to the Fire Country Daimyo with a serious expression.

"Is that so? Minister of Finance."

After hearing the words of the adviser, the Fire Country Daimyo looked at the Minister of Finance who was in charge of the Fire Country's taxation with a serious expression and said.

"Daimyo, it is true. Previously, the ninjas of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire needed to purchase a large amount of food and various medicinal materials. Most of the money was funded by us, so we can easily control the Hokage of Konoha Village."

"But now, Konoha Village is recruiting a large number of civilians and helping them grow food and vegetables. Even the Nara clan and other families in Konoha Village are growing medicinal herbs. Their dependence on us will decrease rapidly. And with the funds we provide, Konoha Village will grow rapidly and get out of our control."

The Minister of Finance flipped through the information sent by the guardian ninja and spoke to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire with a serious expression.

"Immediately issue an order to temporarily stop the subsidy to the Fire Country Konoha Village, and strongly request that Konoha Village stop recruiting civilians."

After receiving the confirmation from the Minister of Finance, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire immediately gave the order.

"Yes, Lord Daimyo."

The guardian ninja standing under the Daimyo of the Fire Country quickly stood up after receiving the order from the Daimyo of the Fire Country and began to act according to the order of the Daimyo of the Fire Country.

Following the actions of the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion, Konoha Village's efforts to recruit civilians from various small countries suddenly began to slow down.

Danzo Shimura, En Mito Kado, Koharu Utane, and Torikatsu Akimichi, who discovered this change, returned to Konoha Village with their family members to report to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen to see how Konoha Village should deal with this situation.

And after receiving the information sent by his old classmate, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately sent a notice to Hinata Hiya.
