Chapter 480 Arrival at Konoha

Konoha Village.

Ninjas from various villages have arrived one after another.

Including many caravans, they don't want to give up this opportunity.

Bring new and exotic things from various countries to Konoha for trading.

Large caravans, small retail investors.

Ninjas from various countries, tourists from various countries, have flocked to Konoha.

The surge in personnel has doubled the pressure on Konoha's security team.

Konoha is short of personnel in the Hyuga clan.

All the Hyuga personnel patrolling outside the village have to be transferred to the village.

Prioritize the safety of the village.

As for the outside of the village, all of them are replaced by people from the Sarutobi family, patrolling in a carpet-style manner.

The Sarutobi clan doesn't have much else, but it has a lot of people.

At first, there were 500 people, and after Sarutobi Tsune became the advisory elder.

Orochimaru asked the Sarutobi clan to transfer more people back because of the safety issues of the Chunin exam.

In the past two months, Sarutobi has been returning people one after another.

The ratio of Genin to Chunin in this batch of people who came back is about 2 to 1, and their strength is gradually improving.

The number of people is also around 500.

In other words, the number of ninjas who returned from the Sarutobi clan has reached more than a thousand.

Orochimaru felt that this number was a bit outrageous, and Orochimaru knew that there were still people from the Sarutobi clan who had not been transferred back.

How much money did Sarutobi Hiruzen embezzle over the years?

How did he support so many Sarutobi clan members?

After Orochimaru took the position of the Fifth Hokage, he first checked the financial items of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Orochimaru only took a rough look and found many inexplicable expenses.

It was not a war time at all, but there were so many border outposts.

Every year, the cost of personnel supply and equipment supply is a big expense.

Every year, there are also many funeral expenses and pensions for those who died in battle.

It was a mess.

Orochimaru cut off all these at the time.

Later, Sarutobi Chongming came to join the army, and Orochimaru gave him a warning and asked the Sarutobi clan to bring some people back first.

When the first batch of 500 people came back, Orochimaru knew who those border guards were.

Now another 500 people have returned.

How many people did the third generation support to be the Hokage?

There must be more than 1,000, at least 2,000 to 3,000.

Orochimaru found that he had underestimated the filthiness of the third generation Hokage.

With so many trash, it would take some time just to be cannon fodder.

…

Rasa from Sand Village, Kabuto Yakushi from Sound Village, and Natsuki from Yaoyin Village have all arrived.

They have to sit upstairs to watch the Chunin Exam.

The second-level, small ninja villages without Kage usually have a Jonin lead the team.

There are few people coming, and basically they just come to meet Orochimaru, and that's it.

There is no place for these people in the upstairs stands.

Although Sound Village is also a small country, it is also called Kage, and it seems to have an unclear relationship with Orochimaru.

Not to mention Natsuki, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan.

And the newly established country of Xia Mu does not have the position of Daimyo, Xia Mu is the current lord.

So several people are qualified to sit upstairs.

However, after many people came to Konoha, they all lived in the place arranged by Orochimaru and started to wander around the streets.

Some people were wandering around, while others were gathering intelligence.

The Sand Village is far less prosperous than Konoha, and even the population and business atmosphere of Sand Village are not comparable to Konoha.

Luo Sha also came to Konoha when the third generation was still there. At that time, it was also the Chunin Exam, but after a few years.

Konoha has developed very fast, especially the snack street of Konoha, which is full of various delicacies.

Except for some drinks that Luo Sha knows, the others are rare foods in the Wind Country.

Luo Sha knows that this is all Xia Mu's work.

Luo Sha, the Wind Shadow, will wander around, not to mention those people under Gaara.

Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari are all very interested.

Behind them, there is also Maki, who is looking after Gaara and the other two.

Gaara and the other two knew that their teacher was not far away.

But everyone was walking around on their own, and there was no need to gather together if there was nothing to do.

Everyone knew the purpose of this visit.

However, they didn't know what the specific situation would be during the Chunin Exam.

So they all waited to see the situation first.

Gaara and the others were more shopping, while Maki was more to explore Konoha's intelligence.

Gaara was very excited when he came here. He had wanted to come to Konoha for a long time.

But his identity had never allowed it.

Now that he could come to Konoha openly, his first thing was to look for Natsuki.

Although the Uchiha clan had moved out of Konoha, Natsuki had become the leader of a country.

But Rasa told Gaara that Natsuki would come this time.

But they didn't know when Natsuki would arrive or where he would live.

If Natsuki wasn't here today.

If Natsuki appeared later, they would have to wait until their exams.

At that time, Gaara had no choice but to thank Natsuki alone.

So Gaara prepared to go to the snack street to enjoy the food here.

After this, he can go to the Uchiha clan.

He heard that there are still some Uchiha clan members there, and maybe he can contact Master Xiamu.

The current Gaara is completely different from the sleep-deprived and schizophrenic Gaara in the original timeline.

Gaara stopped going berserk for a long time, and he could sleep, and his mental state returned to normal.

As time went by, those children naturally forgot the horror of Gaara in the past.

Gaara was only lonely in the first six months, but later he gradually got to know other children.

After Gaara realized that the sand that protected him was the love of his mother, Karuura.

He began to actively accept and control this power.

He even used this power to protect his playmates.

It made Gaara understand the usefulness of this power more, and also made more children willing to play with Gaara.

Gaara spent his childhood like this, although he was better at controlling his temper.

But he would laugh when he was happy, just like an ordinary child.

It was just that the sand would automatically protect him, which made him make a lot of jokes when he played with other friends.

Anyway, the ball couldn't be played, and his sand would automatically block the ball when it flew to his side.

But these are all trivial matters, there are so many special people in the ninja world.

People are very receptive.

Friends also accepted Gaara's setting.

It was also the first time for Gaara to travel far away, and it was to a prosperous place like Konoha.

Although he controlled his emotions very well, his eyes still showed surprise from time to time.

Temari and Kankuro were here when Natsuki succeeded, so they behaved better.

Gaara has reached a preliminary agreement with Shukaku over the years, and the man and the tailed beast can already talk like friends.

"? Hmm... It's the smell of a stinky fox!"
