Chapter 297 Unreliable
For the next month or so, Konoha was very busy.
First of all, Uzumaki Miyuki, her whereabouts are unknown, but during this period Sarutobi Hiruzen has been continuously sending ninjas to leave Konoha to track down Uzumaki Miyuki.
Sarutobi Hiruzen must do enough superficial work.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also has to make arrangements for the casualties and losses caused by the Nine-Tails Rebellion. He should provide compensation and arrange housing for them.
And because the layout of the various clans in Konoha Village had been readjusted, the Uchiha clan had to be relocated to the marginal areas and put in a position where it would be checked and monitored by the major clans, which would also cost a lot.
This led to a shortage of funds in Konoha.
Since a large number of Konoha ninjas were sent out to track and investigate Uzumaki Miyuki, the tasks have piled up, so now Sarutobi Hiruzen even has to send some Anbu ninjas to do these tasks to share the pressure and earn the rewards for the tasks.
Because Sarutobi Hiruzen was very short of money, he thought of the Konoha Defense Force where Chiba was before.
At that time, Qianyu's daily income was a few hundred thousand taels at least, and up to a million taels at most, and all of it was the Uchiha clan's money.
The Uchiha clan had a lot of money, which gave Sarutobi Hiruzen some ideas.
Sarutobi Hiruzen called Danzo to discuss.
Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen would never say in front of Danzo that he wanted to seize the wealth of the Uchiha clan.
Sarutobi Hiruzen only said one sentence to Danzo, 'Konoha is in financial difficulty now, and there are some small riots from time to time. Because Konoha ninjas are in short supply, the Konoha Defense Force is too busy. Danzo, you should arrange some Root ninjas to join the Konoha Defense Force and enforce the law as strictly as you did at the beginning. There must be no more riots.'
Danzo was so familiar with Sarutobi Hiruzen that he immediately recognized the hidden meaning in Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.
To put it simply, Konoha is short of money now, so Danzo is asked to take over the Konoha Defense Force. The Konoha Defense Force will make money now in the same way as it did before.
When Danzo heard what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, the corners of his mouth immediately curled up.
After so much bad news, there is finally some good news.
The Konoha Defense Force will become his personal army in the future.
Danzo had long wanted to take control of the Konoha Defense Force, but Chiba suddenly went to Ryuchi Cave to practice, and then broke up with him. He told Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato in advance that he would resign as captain. For various reasons, Danzo was unable to take control of the Konoha Defense Force.
Although it was late, the authority held by the Konoha Defense Force was still very beneficial to Danzo.
And...the law was enforced as it was in the beginning. When the Konoha Defense Department was first controlled by Chiba, it desperately targeted the Uchiha clan and then collected bail.
It seems that Sarutobi Hiruzen is now thinking the same thing as him, targeting the Uchiha clan.
Danzo immediately agreed: "I understand, I will take care of this matter."
However, simply fleecing the Uchiha clan could only quench his thirst. Sarutobi Hiruzen began to frequently invite the leaders of the surrounding small ninja villages to sign trade agreements and make as much money as possible.
As long as there is money, many problems in Konoha can be easily solved.
If you don't have money, then nothing can be done.
At the same time, the news that Naruto was a demon fox had spread in Konoha, and the ninjas from other villages who were monitoring Konoha and had been driven away never returned.
Sarutobi Hiruzen understood that he had succeeded, and succeeded in making them think that there was only one Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that the effect had taken place, he immediately announced that no one should mention the matter between Naruto and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, and anyone who did so would be severely punished.
On the second day after this order was issued, Sarutobi Hiruzen directly ordered Nara Shinsuke, who was now only the nominal captain of the Konoha Defense Force, to arrest many villagers who still said that Naruto was the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, to let the villagers know that his order was not just talk, and to forcefully suppress these rumors.
The Konoha ninjas sent out to look for Uzumaki Miyuki did not get any information. Uzumaki Miyuki seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and disappeared without a trace.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen has slowly recalled the ninjas and will look for Uzumaki Miyuki after Konoha has stabilized.
However, at this time, Uzumaki Miyuki was following Yahiko and the other two and came to a town in the Land of Birds.
During this month, Chiba and Uzumaki Kushina often contacted her directly with the ring and told her about Naruto's current situation. When she heard that although Naruto was declared an orphan, he was safe and they would continue to pay attention to Naruto's condition, Uzumaki Miyuki gradually felt relieved.
In a casino in town.
Uzumaki Miyuki frowned as she looked at Yahiko and the other two whose eyes were red, her whole face wrinkled.
During this month, Uzumaki Miyuki slowly became familiar with Yahiko, Yekura, and Kuroko Raiga.
Yahiko is a very optimistic and charismatic person.
Ye Cang is a calm, seemingly arrogant person who seems difficult to get along with, but he is actually a warm-hearted person.
Black Hoe Leiya looks cruel and cold-blooded, and his sharp teeth give people a creepy feeling, but he is actually a person who values his companions. He just looks a little fierce and impulsive.
Overall, Yahiko and his two companions seem to be reliable companions.
However, after Uzumaki Miyuki completed a commissioned mission with Yahiko and the other two and received the mission reward, the first thing she did was not to have a good meal to celebrate, but to immediately find a casino to gamble.
The reason why Yahiko and the other two have red eyes now is because the reward for this mission... has almost been lost.
Half an hour later, Yahiko and the other two left the casino with Uzumaki Miyuki, sighing.
Yahiko said dejectedly: "Really, today is really not a good day to gamble. I'm so unlucky."
Black Chu Lei Ya gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn it! How about I go and get it back!"
Ye Cang curled his lips and said, "Forget it, it's as if we can't afford to lose!"
Yahiko rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm so hungry, let's find a restaurant to eat."
Black Chu Lei Ya said in frustration: "Where can I get the money? I have already lost everything, haven't I?"
Ye Cang's eyes widened: "What? Didn't you save some money for food?"
Kurochu Raiga said unhappily: "You ask Yahiko, he said he wanted to give it a try, and then he lost!"
"Is there?" Yahiko thought for a moment, then said with an awkward expression: "It seems so."
Ye Cang held his forehead and said, "Leiya, go and get it back. I support you."
Uzumaki Miyuki's eyelids twitched when she heard this. Seeing that Kurochu Raiga was really going to rob, Uzumaki Miyuki quickly said, "Well, I still have some money."
Yahiko, Ye Cang and Kurochu Raiga looked at Uzumaki Miyuki with shining eyes: "Miyuki, how much money do you have?"
"Uh, not much. It's enough for a meal, but I definitely can't give you money for gambling."
Uzumaki Miyuki simply blocked the road, because she realized that if she paid the money, she would definitely not be able to keep it until tomorrow, and she would go hungry.
Hearing what Uzumaki Miyuki said, Yahiko and the other two began to sigh again.
Uzumaki Miyuki was confused. She was so reliable before, but now she seemed so out of touch.
