Chapter 276 New Konoha
Chapter 276 New Konoha
"New Konoha!"
Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Izumi broke away from Hinata Feng's arms and walked towards Nara Shikaku and the others in surprise.
"How many people have they gathered, and who will be the new Hokage?"
"We just received a message from our intelligence officers," Tsunade said, pulling out a chair and sitting down. She pointed at Nara Shikaku and said impatiently, "Let Shikaku explain the details."
"Yes"
Looking at everyone's gazes, Nara Shikaku gave a helpless smile and took out a player from his arms.
"The text intelligence only briefly described that Uzumaki Naruto proposed to reorganize Konoha after returning to Konoha Village, but there are still variables that may occur later. The specific situation will depend on the video footage sent back by the intelligence personnel."
"Interesting, let's take a look together."
Hinata Feng pulled Yuhi Kurenai and Anko over and asked everyone in the room to find a seat and watch together. He didn't look like he was going to watch the reorganization of the hostile ninja village, but rather more like he was watching a funny movie.
The projection equipment in Xueying's office was already complete. With some operation by Nara Shikaku, it quickly started to play what happened in the ruins of Konoha Village. Hinata Feng also hugged the plump bodies of Yuhi Kurenai and the others and watched with relish.
The scene opened with the villagers of Konoha surrounding Naruto, cursing and hurling insults at him. The harsh words and flying spit made the occupants frown. Even though some of the more sober-minded understood that Uzumaki Naruto wasn't entirely to blame, they still chose to remain silent and watch as Konoha Village suffered such a heavy loss, their loved ones died, and their homes were shattered.
As for Naruto, no one knew whether he was truly feeling guilty or had gotten used to the villagers' verbal abuse, but he remained dejected and allowed everyone to curse him.
It wasn't until someone mentioned Jiraiya in a dirty way, accusing him of teaching students who were either villains who harmed Konoha or useless trash, and even Jiraiya himself was a useless trash, that Naruto exploded.
"Teacher Jiraiya is the best person in the ninja world. He is not a loser!"
In the scene, Naruto suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly, his eyes red and his face covered with tears. Although he was very sad and ashamed, Naruto was still very angry and dissatisfied with someone insulting Jiraiya.
"Teacher Jiraiya has dedicated so much to Konoha, even sacrificing himself. I will never allow you to insult Teacher Jiraiya like this!"
Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas, undoubtedly had many fans in Konoha Village. The person who had just spoken up was just angry and mentioned him. As Naruto spoke, some Konoha ninjas followed suit, urging everyone to calm down and not curse. The ninjas' voices were loud and powerful, and the voices of those who cursed were quickly silenced.
For a moment, all the attention of the people in Konoha was focused on Jiraiya, and no one had time to curse Naruto anymore.
"I know that Master Jiraiya sacrificed himself for Konoha, but the bastards who attacked Konoha were also Jiraiya's disciples!"
Under the condemnation of those ninjas who supported Jiraiya, an old man with a neck suddenly collapsed. He sat on the ground and cried bitterly. His gray hair and wrinkled face looked so old and sad.
"Now our house is destroyed, and we have lost all our belongings and even our food! What do you think we should do?!
The entire Konoha Village has been destroyed. We have nowhere to go and we don't even have time to find a job. Without sufficient supplies, we will starve to death. We will starve to death!"
The old man cried loudly with tears in his eyes. After hearing his crying, the remaining civilians of Konoha felt the same way and were filled with grief. They also started crying one by one. The scene was extremely chaotic.
The scene of thousands of people crying together made the Konoha ninjas feel a little helpless for a moment. Their words of comfort seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the tragic situation of so many people.
At this time, it was Naruto who reacted first. He listened to everyone's crying and suddenly wiped away his tears and shouted loudly.
"Everyone, listen to me! Konoha Village has indeed suffered a great blow, but as long as people are still there, there is hope for Konoha's revival. I know that many people's houses and property have been damaged by the fighting, but there are still many things that can be salvaged.
Once these building debris are cleared, we can still build a lot of houses, and the items buried underneath can also be dug up. I am the son of the Fourth Hokage, and I will not let the people of Konoha Village starve to death. If there is not enough food, I will go hunting and take quests to buy it!
Looking at the Konoha villagers who gradually quieted down after hearing his words, Naruto's expression became more determined.
"The Leaf Village has been destroyed, so I will rebuild a stronger Leaf. Please believe me, I will keep my word, this is my ninja way!"
Naruto's words were not reliable at all, but the villagers of Konoha seemed to be hypnotized, their faces changed, and they shouted the words of New Konoha. Even though he couldn't see it through the video, Hinata Feng guessed that Ashura Chakra must have played a role. Originally, Naruto had fewer opportunities to show his abilities than in the original work, and the villagers of Konoha didn't have a very good impression of him. Moreover, it seemed that this battle broke out because of him, and many people were originally full of resentment towards him.
It was really unreasonable to start recognizing him so quickly.
The unaffected Tsunade women in the office were now bewildered, unable to understand why the remnants of Konoha were so excited and confident. Mitarashi Anko even said bluntly, "Are the villagers of Konoha so foolish? They were influenced by a few simple words. No wonder they've declined so badly over the years!"
Hinata Feng said meaningfully: "Ha, that's because you weren't there, otherwise you might have shouted along too."
Mitarashi Anko's beautiful eyes moved, and she rolled her eyes at Hinata Feng. The scene in the video suddenly changed again.
"Rebuilding Konoha, are you worthy enough? Konoha was destroyed this time because of you. Why were you so slow to come back when the enemy came?"
Danzo, who had disappeared, suddenly appeared like an indestructible cockroach with a group of Root ninjas, and started asking a barrage of questions.
"I am the disciple of the Second Hokage and the Hokage's assistant. Only I am the most suitable person to rebuild Konoha and serve as the Hokage!"
The video ends here, and the last scene in the camera is some Root ninjas patrolling among the villagers.
“There is no video recording afterwards.”
Nara Shikaku began to introduce, "Textual intelligence indicates that Danzo disowned the original Fifth Hokage and appointed himself as the Fifth Hokage. He was originally going to imprison Uzumaki Naruto, but Hatake Kakashi and some of those who had escaped earlier returned to stop him."
"It's just a makeshift team. With Danzo around, the so-called New Konoha can't really hold up. Don't take it to heart.
The current situation is favorable for the Snow Village. Everyone, continue to prepare. Soon, it will be time for the Snow Village to sweep across the ninja world and create true peace."
