Writing a Diary in the Shinobi World, and the Kunoichi Are Shocked

Chapter 83: 083 Konoha's Financial Difficulty, The Truth about the White Fang's Death



The next morning, in the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the damage report compiled last night, and a worried look appeared between his brows.

The destruction of the Root organization's underground base did not involve other ninjas, so there was no need to issue additional pensions.

But that big pit still needed to be repaired. It couldn't just be left on the street like that, could it?

First, there was the consumption of the Third Shinobi World War, then the disaster of the Nine-Tails going out of control.

In addition, they were now at war with the Hidden Mist and Hidden Cloud, and the manpower and material resources on the front lines needed to be continuously replenished.

Even the Hidden Leaf, the wealthiest of the Five Great Ninja Villages, was almost unable to hold on.

The only thing that could comfort Hiruzen Sarutobi was the news sent back by the ninjas on the front lines.

That talented Shisui, unlike most Uchiha clansmen, did not harbor such strong hostility towards the village.

On the contrary, he often said that the village and the clan were one, and maintaining peace was the only way for both sides to have a better future.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself, "As expected of the direct descendant of my former teammate, Uchiha Kagami. He has indeed inherited his Will of Fire."

Inside the Uchiha clan's territory.

Night Star got up and got dressed. When he walked out of the bedroom, he smelled a very strange smell.

It was like something had been burnt.

"You're awake? Come and eat."

Pakura was wearing his clothes and an apron, her long, white, and tender legs were just exposed like that, making people feel dazzled.

And unlike her very professional Yamato Nadeshiko attire,

What was placed on the dining table was a black mass, vaguely recognizable as something that seemed to be the legendary fried egg.

"This..."

Seeing Night Star's hesitant expression, Pakura blushed in embarrassment.

"There's nothing I can do. I've never done it before. This is my first time."

"Doesn't the Hidden Sand Village even have eggs?"

Hearing this, Pakura sighed helplessly and whispered,

"How could there be such a thing? Relying on the Daimyo's support, it's already very good if we can have something to eat."

"That's true."

Night Star thought to himself that the Land of Wind was barren, and the Hidden Sand Village was not as pleasant as the Hidden Leaf. It couldn't even develop tourism, so its financial situation was naturally not optimistic.

The main sources of income for the Five Great Ninja Villages were the Daimyo's allocation and some mission commissions, but each had other sources of income.

The Hidden Cloud Village frequently launched wars and used tough means to directly seize reparations from other villages.

The Hidden Rock was mining, and the Hidden Mist was relatively closed, but because it was coastal, its fishing industry was relatively developed.

The Hidden Leaf Village occupied the most fertile area among the Five Great Nations, and the scenery of the village was relatively good, so there were too many sources of income, such as tourism, medicinal herb planting, flower shops, and so on.

Only the Hidden Sand had nothing and relied on Rasa, the gold miner, to stay in the village every day to dig for gold sand.

Thinking of this, Night Star suddenly remembered that he had not tried to use his sand gold ability after obtaining it.

He stretched out his right hand, closed his eyes, and sensed the subtle flow of the earth.

Seeing this scene, Pakura tilted her head, her beautiful eyes showing confusion.

What did this mean?

Was it meditation training to enhance mental strength?

Just as Pakura was puzzled, she suddenly saw a wooden board on the ground bounce up.

A wisp of golden fine sand, as if it had life, broke out of the soil and slowly fell on the breakfast table.

"This is!?"

Pakura's pupils constricted in shock, and her face had an expression of disbelief.

"Rasa's Kekkei Genkai... Magnet Release?"

Although the Third Kazekage's Kekkei Genkai ability was also Magnet Release, he could only control iron sand.

Controlling the flow of sand gold, in the entire history of the ninja world, only Rasa could do it.

"How do you know this technique?"

Seeing Pakura's slightly wary eyes, Night Star just controlled the sand gold to gather and turn into a small pile of gold on the table, then replied unhurriedly,

"You suspect that I have some kind of shady relationship with Rasa? If that were the case, I would have killed you outside the Hidden Leaf gate."

Pakura was stunned for a moment, thinking that this made sense.

With Night Star's strength, would he need to use any conspiracy or tricks to get rid of her?

What's more, he didn't know Rasa, so how could there be any shady cooperation?

After figuring this out, Pakura breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the pile of sand gold curiously.

"Then why don't you tell anyone that you have such an ability? For a ninja village, this Kekkei Genkai has unimaginable value."

Night Star didn't directly answer Pakura's question, but instead asked,

"How do you think the Uchiha clan can become the ruler of the Hidden Leaf Village?"

Pakura pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

"With all due respect, since that earth-shattering battle at the Valley of the End, the situation of your Uchiha has become quite awkward."

The battle between the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and Uchiha Madara, not only the ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village, but even today, the entire ninja world still circulated legends about that battle.

Uchiha Madara used his Mangekyou Sharingan is ability to control the Nine-Tails and fought a life-and-death battle with the God of Shinobi.

The final result was that Uchiha Madara narrowly lost, and the First Hokage also died in less than a few years.

It was that battle.

That made the entire ninja world, including the Hidden Leaf's higher-ups, deeply afraid of the Uchiha clan's power.

This was also why, after Senju Tobirama became the Second Hokage, he set the tone of always targeting the Uchiha clan.

Seeing that Night Star didn't reply, Pakura continued,

"After all, Madara still has the Uchiha clan's surname."

"He betrayed the Hidden Leaf and fought the First Hokage, which has greatly affected the image of your Uchiha clan."

"If you really want the Uchiha to control the Hidden Leaf, you may only have the option of using absolute force to ascend to power, and then slowly win over people's hearts over time."

Listening to Pakura's words, Night Star couldn't help but complain in the diary.

[The Uchiha clan is really unlucky.]

[Not to mention that the current clan head, Fugaku, is a coward.]

[Uchiha Madara is no better.]

[Back then, it was you who proposed to let go of hatred and cooperate with the Senju clan.]

[Later, after the Hidden Leaf Village was established, it was you who said you wanted to leave the Hidden Leaf.]

[As the leader of the entire Uchiha clan, how can Madara's capricious decisions convince the clan members?]

[It's not surprising that no one left with him.]

After recording this passage, Night Star took out a scroll from his arms and placed it on the table.

"Take a look at this."

Pakura opened it with suspicion. Seeing the content inside, her expression couldn't help but change.

"How could... the death of the White Fang of the Leaf be manipulated by the higher-ups behind the scenes?"

The White Fang of the Leaf, Sakumo Hatake, was once the top powerhouse of the Hidden Leaf Village.

If it weren't for his suicide and the departure of Tsunade and Jiraiya, the Hidden Leaf wouldn't have been forced to such a point in the Third Shinobi World War.

Pakura thought that being used by Rasa as a bargaining chip for a peace treaty was outrageous enough.

She didn't expect that there were even more absurd things in the Hidden Leaf Village?
