Chapter 217 - Chapter 217: I didn't expect you to be this kind of person

Although Hanyu did a big thing outside, and it was a standard dirty job, he was actually calm inside. He was a man who was used to life and death, and he understood that some lives needed to be cherished, while some lives did not.

From beginning to end, he had only been away from Konoha for a few days, and during these days, there had been no problems with the "Shadow Stream". This new organization was still operating and developing in an orderly manner... Well, this was mainly because they had nothing else to do except running their own nest.

The first phase of the barrier of the Shadow Stream underground base has been completed. No matter whether Hanyu is there or not, everyone is working very hard. After Hanyu returns, the biggest difference between Shadow Stream and when he left is that it is finally a dish now... Firstly, because of the activeness at the wedding of the Third Hokage, and the head of the organization is the famous jonin Hanyu, the name of this organization began to spread among the ninjas of Konoha; secondly, as the name suggests, this organization has added another ninja, that is, the maid of Uzumaki Mito, Shiko, and now after she has joined the Shadow Stream, the thirteen incense are finally gathered.

The only difference between her and the others is that the remaining twelve incense are just code names, but Shiko's real name is Uzumaki Shiko, so... she is actually quite innocent. It's Hanyu who was inspired by her name to name the other people's code names.

However, Hanyu had expected Shiko's arrival. Shiko was probably one or two years older than Hanyu's actual age, which made her the oldest among the Uzumaki ninjas in the Shadow Stream. In addition, she had been staying with Mito before, so her arrival would further unite the Uzumaki ninjas.

And considering the character of the Uzumaki clan, it is not a bad thing to have such a person who can unify the other Uzumaki members. He will help manage things and serve as Hanyu's assistant, but he will never cause trouble. What's wrong with having such a qualified secretary?

"Master Hanyu, the second batch of clan members have also arrived in the village during the few days when you were away on a mission... Because you were away at the time, Master Mito stepped forward to make arrangements. The number is still only a few dozen, and the scale is not large. At the same time, the clan members who came to Konoha this time are not ninjas, but ordinary people."

After Hanyu returned to Konoha, he went straight to the Shadow Stream's base without even going home, and then Shiko reported to him what had happened recently.

"Yes, I see. Mito-sama has been a great help."

The transfer and resettlement of the Uzumaki clan should have been Hanyu's job, but he was not there before, so Mito had to do it ... Although Mito is now the leader of Konoha and the Uzumaki clan, she is old after all and has retired. Although she certainly doesn't mind doing something for the Uzumaki clan, that is not her job after all.

Of course, Hanyu should express his gratitude when others work overtime for him.

As for the Uzumaki people who migrated here this time, they are just ordinary people and not ninjas, which is normal.

When the Uzumaki clan migrated to Konoha, they naturally couldn't bring all the capable ninjas with them at once. That would make Konoha happy, but how would the remaining Uzumakis in the Land of Whirlpools survive? Therefore, in this gradual migration plan, ninjas and ordinary people must be migrated alternately.

"By the way, I have something else to ask..."

After Shiko reported the matter of the whirlpool, Hanyu then explained to Shiko the infrastructure work he had received from the next daimyo.

"Although I have arranged this work without your consent, I think 60 million taels of funds is still worth our efforts. The Uzumaki clan needs funds to settle down in Konoha, and the Hokage cannot allocate a large amount of funds for such a matter. The financial resources of the Whirlpool Country itself are limited, so we can only think of a way ourselves.

You know, the Uzumaki ninjas of the Shadow Stream are still living with Mito-sama, but that is only a temporary measure after all... I will have to make a request to the Hokage later. As the number of whirlpools in Konoha increases, he needs to set aside a special resettlement area."

The thousand or so people in Uzumaki are not too many, but not too few either, and if they are to be resettled, a new street will need to be built in Konoha.

Therefore, the money that Hanyu got back was very important and timely. He did it entirely for Uzumaki's sake. So how could Shiko think that Hanyu was taking on the job without authorization?

"Master Hanyu is thinking about us. How could Uzumaki reject such a kind gesture? Let me lead the team to the barrier on the Daimyo's side."

"...Okay, it's just a matter of safety..."

Professional work should naturally be left to professionals, but Hanyu is not worried about safety issues.

With Konoha's twelve guardian ninjas present, Daimyo Castle's security level is actually high enough, but there is always a "what if".

"It's okay, Master Hanyu. I may not be as good as you in combat, but I can barely be considered a jonin. You don't have to worry about safety. We can protect ourselves... The Daimyo Castle of the Land of Fire is not a frontline battlefield after all."

Hanyu blinked and asked, "Are you the last combat-type Namekian besides the Great Elder?"

Well, don't forget that Shion is the person who has always been kept by Uzumaki Mito. Although Hanyu has never seen her take action, since she said so, her fighting ability can at least beat Ginyu even if she can't beat Frieza.

After Uzumaki's work was arranged, there was one thing that Hanyu almost forgot... What should be done next with Nono Totsuki who was rescued by everyone's efforts?

Before, Hanyu chose to rescue the child not simply out of kindness or compassion. On the one hand, it was because the team needed a reasonable excuse to go to Daimyo Castle, and on the other hand, it was because of Hanyu's shame... He did not know the maid, but he showed an arrogant attitude towards her, and the final result proved that his arrogance was nothing more than an absurd self-esteem.

However, after bringing Togetsu back to Konoha, he did not think carefully about how to arrange for him.

Of course, she can't be left with the Shadow Stream or the Uzumaki, as these are all core confidential departments. If the child can grow up safely in Konoha and spend her life, it will be worthy of her deceased sister. If so, maybe she should be sent to the Konoha Orphanage.

But when Hanyu was about to tell Hatake Sakumo about this decision, he didn't expect that the other party had already solved the problem for him.

"Raised in the Hatake family?"

"Um."

Hanyu looked at Sakumo, who always looked serious, with a strange expression on his face, and began to secretly suspect that there was no Sakumo in this world, but only Jiraiya in Sakumo's skin.

Yes, that little girl looks pretty, and judging from her sister's appearance, that child is not just a beauty... In a few years, she will be a real beauty.

However, your Hatake family is a small family, so you are not afraid of being eaten out of poverty. Sakumo, are you worthy of Kakashi?

"That's fine, at least we don't let people starve to death."

But these are just small things, as long as they can be solved, Hanyu doesn't mind how they are solved.

And compared to the matter of Togetsu, in fact, Sakumo and Sanae are more concerned about what happened in Daimyo Castle... The news of the Daimyo's death has now reached Konoha. After all, he was the president of a country, and his sudden death would naturally cause a sensation. What's more important is that the rumors about the Daimyo's death are somewhat disgusting.

Well, this has nothing to do with Hanyu, it's all Nikubo's little trick.

But could it be such a coincidence? On the night that Hanyu's team went to rescue Tozuki, the daimyo died by coincidence, and he was killed by someone. Even if Sakumo would not guess that Hanyu was the murderer, he would definitely think that the matter was too accidental.

But when talking about the poor daimyo, Hanyu's expression is innocent and naive...

Life is so fragile, some people can die if they are not careful. What can Hanyu do?
