I established Kua Kua Cult in Naruto.

Chapter 703 The reason why Bai Yueguang is nostalgic is because it carries the past that she has lost.

The night when the Kyuubi rioted outside Konoha Village had little impact on Konoha, especially for the villagers, the biggest impact was that they were woken up.

The explanation given by the village was to transform the surrounding terrain of the village and free up a large area of ​​flat land to prepare for the expansion of the village, and the Nine-Tails and the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki were the ones responsible for changing the terrain.

It's just that something went wrong in the sealing barrier, resulting in the original sound insulation effect not taking effect, and regarding this matter, the Hokage's assistant Namikaze Minato also came forward to explain and apologize.

In fact, when this statement first came out, many people did not believe it, and a few people swore that the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki was definitely out of control.

The village was asked to no longer harbor the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and all villagers voted to determine the severity of the punishment.

But this small group of people was quickly invited to the security department to drink tea and receive safety lectures.

After maintaining the change for a day, the village's sealing barrier finally opened again, and the villagers who restored access gradually believed the village's story.

Because in the past, when standing at the entrance of the village and looking out, although there were flat forests nearby, further away, there were mountains with many mountains. But after just one day and two nights, the terrain changed drastically.

From the entrance of the village to the end of the horizon, there is a smooth road. If it is expanded, the area of ​​​​the village may be doubled.

With the evidence and the fact that there was no damage to the village that night, the villagers accepted this statement even though they still had some doubts in their hearts.

Three months passed quickly, and the Kingdom of Thunder held a tripartite meeting. Although the war was temporarily suspended, the Mist Ninja and Sand Ninja were still stationed in the Kingdom of Thunder.

If the negotiation plan goes bankrupt, it will probably be another war that will attract the attention of the entire ninja world.

As for the Konoha Village, everything is peaceful. The village has improved the sealing barrier. The ANBU acted frequently at first, but gradually returned to normal. As for the promised expansion, it is already under planning.

I heard that the difficulty lies in buying out or leasing land outside the village from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Konoha cannot afford to pay for the buyout, and the village is not satisfied with the rent and term of the lease, so it seems to be deadlocked.

But the villagers are still very optimistic. After all, the number of outsiders in the village is increasing, and the various taxes generated in the village have also increased visibly. Maybe the village will be able to afford land in a while.

No matter how bad it is, the real estate of these aborigines has been increasing in value. The longer the expansion is delayed, the more valuable their real estate will be. With the current situation in the village, it is difficult for the bubble to burst.

At most, it will fall a bit after the expansion, but after the expansion, their residence is in the core area and is equally popular.

Even though it was still a war period, Konoha felt prosperous and prosperous, being the only one among the five major nations.

"I've heard that the village is going to be expanded a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be so big. I almost even took the wrong road."

Outside the village, after several months of natural growth, the forest has lost some of its artificial stiffness and has become natural. A white-haired man is walking through the forest.

Finally, he saw the gate of Konoha in the gap covered by the trees, and Jiraiya smiled.

It had been nearly half a year since this separation. Half a year ago, after gathering with his disciples and discussing Naruto's name, Jiraiya left the village.

Minato and Tatsuma, half-students, no longer needed his care, and had even grown to be better than his teacher, so Jiraiya once again embarked on a journey to find the Son of Destiny.

Although he felt that he had already selected several candidates, Minato, Tatsuma, or Nagato from the Land of Rain all had the potential to change the ninja world.

Even Tatsuma, who was only half a student, had grown to the point where he was changing the ninja world, but Jiraiya still had no intention of stopping. After all, the village was a sad place.

"It's time to face it calmly. Eleven years have passed, and I have already looked away."

With a heroic smile on his face, Jiraiya walked towards the entrance of the village, thinking about what gifts to give when he came back to attend the first feast of the students and children.

He went to the Land of Rain not long ago, and he bought some very interesting things, including that art pendant called a bullet.

"Jiraiya-sama!"

When the guards at the door saw it was Jiraiya, they all greeted him. Seeing that he was still so popular, the smile on Jiraiya's face became even brighter, and he walked into the village saying hello.

When he passed the sealing barrier, he felt his body light up, but when he felt carefully, nothing seemed to have changed. He just thought it was his illusion and continued walking inside.

When he returned to the village, he felt much more familiar. Although Konoha was constantly changing internally, the overall plan had been set early, and the planning structure would not change no matter how much it was changed.

And it was only half a year, and there were not many actual changes in the village. He arrived at the Hokage Building by a familiar route. There was obviously a door, but Jiraiya still chose to climb over the eaves and climb through the window.

"Tatsuma!"

Entering the Hokage's office, Jiraiya made a debut pose. Tatsuma nodded to him and said, "Welcome back, Jiraiya-sensei."

"Haha, I kept you waiting for a long time. I encountered some things in the Land of Rain some time ago and I couldn't make it back. I can only come back now to participate in little Naruto's first eating feast."

Jiraiya briefly explained why he delayed his return for three months after receiving the news. Tatsuma smiled and said, "You can explain it to Minato, Kushina and Naruto."

"Minato won't be angry with me. Kushina wishes I wouldn't come back. As for Naruto, he doesn't remember anything yet. When he grows up, just say that I was always with him when he was a child, hahaha~"

Jiraiya opened the seat opposite Tatsuma and sat down, then asked: "They say that you, the fourth generation Hokage, plan to expand Konoha. According to your style, why has it been several months and still no action has been taken? Is it a rumor? ?" "I don't have money. It's not just buying a piece of land. Buildings, infrastructure, supporting facilities and various plans, none of which don't require money?

It's not like a few decades ago when villagers could form a village by enclosing a piece of land and building houses spontaneously. Now the cost of expanding even a little bit is exaggerated.

Otherwise, Mr. Jiraiya, please help me a little. "

Tatsuma sighed and said that although the expansion was initially an excuse, he and the daimyo talked about it and found that it was not impossible, but money cannot be avoided in everything.

The money from Daming Mansion has been divided up long ago, and every money has a place to go. The money that the villagers deposited in the Village Assets Committee is enough to buy land, but they are unable to build.

And this money has to be kept for the villagers to withdraw and settle the interest every year. They cannot spend it all at once, so they have to wait.

Jiraiya patted his belly and said, "How much do I have? Do you like it?"

"I can appreciate any number."

Tatsuma raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiraiya with burning eyes. Jiraiya may not be the richest ninja, but he must be the ninja with the most liquidity.

If nothing else, just say that the reward for the settlement of the Third Ninja World War was an unimaginable amount, and Jiraiya, unlike others, had no place to spend money.

Several commanders during the three wars, Orochimaru reinvested his own money into his own scientific research projects, and Tsunade also funded the medical ninja training class and Nonou's medical team.

Tatsuma himself has to be responsible for the expenses of the entire Senju clan. When the ninjas in the village encounter something unfortunate, he has to take the lead in making donations, and he has to be the one who donates the biggest amount.

Minato had only been the commander for a few months, and there was no money to be made from the battle in the Kingdom of Water. Minato was too honest, so he didn't get much money.

Fugaku and Hizatsu are both the heads of the Ninja clan. Money is considered the clan's money and cannot be used at will. Moreover, Tatsuma's relationship with them is not good enough to ask for money. The only one left is Jiraiya.

The golden bachelor has been traveling for more than two years and can't spend much money at all. After all, Jiraiya is a ninja who even chooses to evade fares and sneak into hot spring hotels, so he definitely has the most liquidity in his hands.

Jiraiya touched his chin and said: "I do have some spare money, which is good for investment. How about developing all the hot spring spots in the new area into hot spring hotels and then putting them under my control?"

"No, I can give you stock dividends, but I definitely can't give you management rights, or even enjoy any privileges at the hot spring hotel."

If Jiraiya becomes the owner of the hot spring hotel, Tatsuma knows on his knees what outrageous things Jiraiya can do, so Jiraiya must not be allowed to interfere.

"That's boring. I might as well take my money and go to Yuno Country to buy some hot spring hotels."

Jiraiya stretched, obviously not interested in what Tatsuma said about dividends. Tatsuma didn't want to give in, so he changed the topic and said:

"Let's not talk about it for now. Naruto's first feast will be held in two days. Let's have a drink and have a good chat."

"Why, for the development of the village, you actually became a bartender? You don't drink at all."

Jiraiya said with a smile, Tatsuma waved his hand and said, "I can't drink with others, but I'm happy to drink with you."

"You talk nice, so let's just say it. If you want to convince me, do it at the wine table!"

Jiraiya stood up and said, "You kid didn't confiscate my apartment, did you?"

"No, do I look like that kind of person?"

"picture."

After saying that, Jiraiya climbed through the window and left, but he did not leave the Hokage Building, but went to chat with Minato.

Two days later, at Naruto's first meal banquet, Jiraiya was beaten up by Tsunade and Kushina together because Jiraiya tried to dip his chopsticks in wine to give Naruto a drink, saying that wine was also meaty, so the first meal You should have a taste of it during the feast.

Jiraiya, who had a bruised nose and face, was ordered to stay away from Naruto and could only stay with Tatsuma and drink. Tatsuma also broke the law today and drank a lot with Jiraiya.

I don’t know why, seeing Tsunade and Kato Dan sitting together, holding Naruto, like a family of three, Jiraiya got drunk very quickly tonight, Tatsuma was not drunk yet, Jiraiya was already in a daze. Gooey.

Tatsuma looked at Jiraiya who was leaning on the bar with his elbows and supporting his face with the heels of his hands, leaving only the back of his head. He seemed to ask inadvertently: "Jiraiya-sensei, do you still remember what I asked ten years ago? A question for you?”

"what?"

Jiraiya asked in confusion, Tatsuma took a sip of wine and asked: "Suppose. Suppose my teacher wants to do something to harm Konoha, what would you do? This time, I want to know the answer."

Jiraiya didn't answer immediately, looking at Tsunade with longing eyes, or maybe it wasn't Tsunade, but the self who admired a girl in the past, but after a long time, he still said: "I will stop her, and even kill her. .”

"I see."
