A slug lay on the desk of the Third Hokage and handed over a very important piece of information to the Hokage... The source of the information was naturally self-evident.
After reading this information, the Third Hokage's expression suddenly became strange.
"What's wrong, Sarutobi, is there any problem with Hanyu's mission?"
Also in the Hokage's office was Danzo Shimura, who was also waiting for news from Hanyu.
Whether in public or private, Danzo basically never called Sarutobi Hiruzen "Hokage". This may be because they were teammates of equal status before, or perhaps Danzo himself did not realize that in his subconscious he was not convinced that Sarutobi Hiruzen had become the Third Hokage.
Well, if you think about it from a dark perspective, Danzo Shimura is indeed a traitor.
"The mission... is not a problem. The matter has been resolved. However, Hanyu just extorted 80 million ryo from the successor of the daimyo. He decided to hand over 20 million of it to the village, but the condition is that I must go to the daimyo castle to preside over the succession ceremony of the new daimyo."
The Third Hokage explained to Danzo Shimura that Hanyu was going to set up a protective barrier in Daimyo Castle.
The barrier that Konoha set up for the Daimyo, no matter how powerful this barrier is, is nothing but a joke to Konoha. The Uzumaki ninjas could not have left a backdoor for Konoha when setting up the barrier. Therefore, if such a barrier exists, Konoha's control over the Daimyo Castle will be further enhanced.
But if the Daimyo has no negative thoughts about Konoha, then there is absolutely no problem with such a barrier... It is used to defend against foreign enemies, not to defend Konoha.
Danzo was silent. As expected, Hanyu started to really dance again. However, making money is a win-win situation for everyone, so Danzo would not object to anything. The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was the issue of the profit sharing ratio.
"The village only has a quarter of that? The Shadow Stream has intercepted too much money for itself."
The Third Hokage shook his head and said, "Hanyu said that his organization is still a new one, so it needs a lot of funding, and he faces problems such as improving the living conditions of members... Anyway, it can be considered acceptable. After all, it is the Shadow Stream that is doing the work, and the village got 20 million taels for free. Isn't this the money for building the rock statue in the Valley of the End? "
The Third Hokage thought that the money left by Hanyu was likely to be used for the Uzumaki clan, so he had no big objection to it, but... why did he take 80 million taels? Was Hanyu hinting at something? Was I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, only worth 80 million?
Well, the Third Hokage's previous idea was correct. Hanyu was indeed planning to spend the money on the Uzumaki clan who had relocated here. He didn't even want to use the money to make up for the shortfall in his own pocket... In fact, the information passed on by Hanyu also included the bill made by Tsunade, but the Third Hokage didn't mention this matter at all, and it was obvious that he was not going to pay any attention to him.
The village has to pay for the money used to coax Tsunade? Is there any law? Let Hanyu have fun on his own.
Since the Hokage has said so, Danzo can only shut up even if he has any objections. One should be content with what one has. Isn't it great to get 20 million taels for free?
Do you really think that those different barrier plans that Hanyu talked about are really any different? It would be good enough if he could deduct 80 million from the new daimyo.
"In that case, Sarutobi, are you going to go to Daimyo Castle?"
"Of course I have to go, to stabilize the situation in Capital City, and take a look at the new Daimyo candidate. I hope the previous incident won't happen again.
Besides, I plan to take Biwako with me, so that the people in the village can feel more at ease."
Although the Third Hokage was somewhat unhappy that he was arranged by Hanyu without knowing anything about it, but when he thought about it carefully, even if he didn't have the 80 million, he still needed to go to Daimyo Castle. This in itself was a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
On the Konoha side, what needs to be stabilized is not the village as a whole, but the Senju... That's why the Third Hokage decided to bring Biwako with him.
"Is it true that we don't need to investigate the Senju side?" asked Danzo.
"How do you investigate? Do you have any way to track it down?" the Third Hokage asked back.
"…"
Shimura Danzo was speechless. No matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do about this kind of thing, even if he was as cruel and ruthless as he was.
"Yeah, it just happened to be Senju, there's really no way to check it."
The lament of the scapegoat sounds extremely helpless.
"Go and inform Hanyu, I will be in Daimyo Castle soon." The Third Hokage finally said to the slug.
After making the decision, the Third Hokage will go to the Daimyo Castle as soon as possible to do the new Daimyo a favor. He will bring the Daimyo's twelve guardian ninjas with him. The strength of these twelve people is unquestionable, but the selection has been changed from the original twelve, so it is still beneficial to rotate them.
Next, there was the Third Hokage's own guards. Since he had just been attacked, it was not a good idea to travel at this time. Since he had to leave, the Anbu could only arrange a large number of guards for him. The Hokage had no way to refute such opinions and such a grand arrangement, and could only accept it with a wry smile.
So the Third Hokage and his wife, the guards and the Twelve Ninjas, a total of forty or fifty people, set out for the Daimyo Castle in such a mighty manner. If you didn't know, you would think they were going to destroy some country.
Since his marriage, the Third Hokage was first attacked, then his father-in-law died, and then he had to travel back and forth. It was really a hard life.
Afterwards, the Third Hokage arrived at Daimyo Castle. Hanyu briefly took over the work with him and then chose to evacuate... Well, he felt that he was still not suitable for politics, so it would be better to leave this matter to the Third Hokage.
In fact, Hanyu has always had some problems with his self-perception. He is changing his name, killing people, and cheating people out of money. This is not good at politics. If he were good at it, wouldn't he be able to reach the sky?
But Hanyu had a good reason to leave. He had to rush back to Konoha and organize Uzumaki's team to come to Daimyo Castle to set up the barrier. This was a construction project, not a robbery, so the barrier of Daimyo Palace still needed to be completed with quality and quantity guaranteed.
However, after he returned to Konoha, before he had time to deal with the chaos, Tsunade came to him again the next day.
Hanyu seemed to have forgotten what happened on the night of the Third Hokage's wedding, but Tsunade could not have forgotten.
"Hanyu, you seem to particularly prefer speed-based techniques, but I've already told you before that your forbidden lightning technique is no longer usable, so... I'm giving this to you as a thank you for saving me."
As she spoke, Tsunade handed a scroll to Hanyu.
Hanyu took the scroll, unfolded it silently, and then...
A look of confusion.
