Chapter 161 Poverty Is the Original Sin

Since the title of 'The Strongest Hokage' was mentioned, one person naturally came to mind, and then Ebizo started talking about this person.

"The son of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the one named Sarutobi Shinnosuke, is said to be getting married."

"Is the son of the Third Hokage getting married?" Chiyo said with emotion, "I didn't expect that old guy's son to get married too."

Seeing that his sister Chiyo's expression was a little gloomy, Ebizo soon realized that Chiyo was thinking of herself, or in other words, of her son or grandson...

So Ebizo quickly changed the topic and said: "This is not an important matter. Let's talk about something else."

"Get married."

Luo Sha also thought of something, and her expression looked a little dull.

Chiyo couldn't help but glance at Luo Sha, knowing that Luo Sha was still brooding about what happened at the beginning.

After all, it was Chiyo who insisted on sealing the tailed beast in the child in the belly of Rasa's wife, Garura.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Garuruo died in childbirth.

But the village had no choice. Funds were tight at the time, so that was the most cost-effective plan to seal the tailed beasts and create a Jinchūriki... If Sunagakure had the financial surplus it has now... Garura's tragedy would never have happened. Come on.

Yes, if the village had sufficient funds at that time... Luo Sha couldn't help but think about it.

Because of lack of money, his wife died in childbirth.

Because he was short of money, he used to use magnetism to escape gold to obtain gold and subsidize the village's finances.

Because of the lack of money, the village has repeatedly saved money and pursued so-called elitism... To put it bluntly, it means poverty.

Poverty has led to so many tragedies in the village.

Therefore, Sunagakure's preservation operations must be carried out in the future! The village cannot be allowed to be poor any longer. The financial power of this country must be in its own hands like Konoha.

Poverty is the original sin.

Well, Chiyo also feels that poverty is the original sin.

Wasn't it because Sunagakure started the war because he was poor? He was too poor to support so many ninjas, and then during the war, his son and daughter-in-law died...

Sun Zixiao also defected.

Konoha.

Prosperity, security and civilization.

Under the will of fire of the Fifth Hokage, people's faces beamed with joy, and they all felt the call of the new era. It was the result of the hard work of the Fifth Hokage and the foundation laid by all previous Hokages. The glory of fire always shines on this land. People on...

Okay, let’s not talk too much nonsense. Now in Konoha Village, the villagers are keen to discuss these few things.

The canal development project of the Huocha Isthmus.

The powerful fire escape ninjutsu created by the fifth Hokage Orochimaru - the jutsu of giant fireballs!

And, the son of the respected Third Hokage is getting married!

For this matter, Asuma and Kurenai, who were traveling together in the Land of Fire, also hurried back to the village. After all, their elder brother was getting married, and as younger brothers, they must join in to congratulate him.

After rushing back to the village, Asma looked at the increasingly prosperous village streets in front of her and felt that she didn't recognize her hometown.

"Hong, the village has changed so much."

"Yes." Hong nodded and said, "It is said that the city is going to be expanded again. A lot of land near Konoha needs to be constructed and developed. It will become a large urban agglomeration in the future."

"It seems so. Some of the land in my house seems to have appreciated in value, and it has appreciated very quickly. It is said that the house prices in Konoha are getting higher and higher. With the house prices so high, there are still people trying desperately to squeeze in, or squeeze out Come near Konoha."

Kurenai nodded and couldn't help but glance at Asuma.

She felt like she was being shown off a bit.

But she didn't care too much. She and Asuma got along so closely that she didn't care about that.

She had always thought Asma was a very interesting person.

"Are you hungry?" Asuma asked.

"A bit." Hong nodded.

"Eat something." Asma took out another cigarette and lit it with a high-quality brand-name lighter.

"I want to eat wasabi octopus."

"Okay, okay, let's go eat octopus sashimi."

Soon, they went to a shop and ordered octopus sashimi.

Octopus is a kind of sea fish, and it is a certain distance from Konoha, so this kind of sashimi is not so easy to eat.

But now, as many transportation obstacles have been cleared by Konoha, water transportation has developed more vigorously, and more seafood has been transported, making it much easier to eat these seafood.

While the two were enjoying the food in the store, they could also hear the customers in the store discussing the hot topics in the village.

"Fire Escape, do you know the Juhao fireball combo technique?"

"How could you not know? This is Godai-sama's signature Fire Release Ninjutsu! My sister's brother's colleague's aunt's uncle was at the scene and saw the power of that Fire Release Ninjutsu. It was said to be earth-shattering, and the entire training ground was filled with excitement. It was blown up!"

"That's not what I want to say, it's this. I have inside information related to this ninjutsu."

"What's the inside information? Tell me quickly."

"I have a friend in the science class. He told me that in the science class, Lord Orochimaru handed over the ninjutsu to his three disciples and said to these three disciples that whoever masters this ninjutsu first will be able to do it. Become Hokage!"

"so?"

"Yes, so the three disciples of Lord Godai must be desperately trying to master this ninjutsu, and that's the Hokage!"

Now in the whole world, there is no doubt that he is the most powerful position!

As long as he can become Hokage, he can become the most powerful man...or is it a woman?

In short, that is the dream of countless Konoha ninjas.

I dream of becoming Hokage.

"It's really whimsical." Asuma curled his lips after hearing this and said: "How can it be so easy to become Hokage? The Fifth Hokage is too dazzling. If his disciples only rely on ninjutsu, they will definitely not be able to become Hokage. so easy."

"But if you can really master this ninjutsu, you will definitely have an advantage. After all, it is a powerful fire escape ninjutsu created by Lord Orochimaru." Kurenai said about this.

Asuma thought for a while, looked at Hong, and nodded: "You are right, Hong."

He continued: "No matter which disciple of the Fifth Generation becomes the Hokage, as the next Hokage of the Fifth Generation, there will definitely be great pressure. After all, the seniors have performed too dazzlingly, and if the juniors do not perform enough, they will definitely be easily criticized."

Asuma said this as he ate one of his favorite sausages.

Hong had to agree with this.

"Yes, Lord Fifth Generation, it is indeed too dazzling."
