Konoha.
Konoha began to rebuild from the ruins, but there was a depressing atmosphere in Konoha.
The destruction of Konoha by Nagato, the Rinnegan of the Akatsuki organization, was not a big deal. At most, they resented in their hearts that their Hokage did not keep his word and did not keep his promise.
This caused the person to go berserk after being resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, but all of the above are still fine.
The most important thing was the sudden appearance of a powerful enemy, Otsutsuki, who directly suppressed their Hokage. Afterwards, when their Hokage came back, his image had changed drastically.
The seventh Hokage of Konoha, the son of destiny in the ninja world, Uzumaki Naruto's current influence, has dark red skin, a face as ferocious as a demon, and a mouth full of fangs.
Countless people in Konoha were secretly shocked and still had lingering fears.
This is exactly the look of an evil spirit. Some bad rumors or inner fear are growing.
Inside the Hokage's office.
"What the hell is going on? The village has been here for so long, why hasn't it been rebuilt yet?!"
The old lady Utane Koharu, whose teeth had all fallen out and who even wobbled when she walked, was still stubborn as she scolded Naruto, who was sitting on the Hokage's desk.
"Naruto, you are the Hokage of Konoha. The village is so big, and the loss this time was caused by your carelessness. Do you think it is so easy to rebuild Konoha?"
Mizutomon En beside him also shook his head and sighed and said:
"Naruto, all the financial resources of Konoha have been allocated to the construction of Konoha in recent years. No one expected that Konoha would be destroyed. Now you are talking about rebuilding, but where will all the resources come from, especially now that the most important clay of the Land of Earth has been cut off..."
"waste!"
The Hokage was usually at the mercy of the two old guys, but today Uzumaki Naruto angrily flipped the table and glared at the two old guys.
"Naruto you!"
Uzumaki Naruto's action, coupled with his devil-like face, scared both Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, and they looked at Naruto in shock.
It seemed to be saying, is this still the young Hokage who allowed himself to be scolded by them?
"Naruto how could you do this to me!"
After being frightened, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En immediately showed anger. They had lived to such an old age, but no one had ever scolded them like this.
"We have gone through the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Hokage, four generations of Hokage, and yet you, the Seventh Hokage, are so presumptuous!"
Utane Koharu glared with anger. Although she was old, her obsession with power was getting deeper and deeper.
"old man!"
At this time, Uzumaki Naruto's image has not only changed drastically, but more importantly, he has been eroded by negative emotions, becoming irritable and easily angered, and the darkness in his heart has covered the sunshine that once existed.
"Shut up! You two old bastards, don't force me to beat you to death!"
With a face full of anger, Uzumaki Naruto was suppressing the rage in his heart, gritting his teeth and looking like a devil biting someone.
Just then, the Hokage door opened, and the former Sixth Hokage, Hatake Kakashi, appeared. After seeing the scene in the office, he hurried forward to explain.
"Two advisors, don't get angry, and don't make Naruto angry. Previously, in order to save the ninja world and Konoha, Naruto accidentally ate the chakra fruit during the battle with the Otsutsuki. As a result, he was suppressed by the negative emotions in it and is now extremely irritable!"
Listening to Hatake Kakashi's explanation, the two old guys, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, not only did not understand, but instead showed shock and a hint of greed.
"Kakashi, can you let him do whatever he wants just because of you? What we need to consider now is whether Uzumaki Naruto is still suitable to be the Hokage of Konoha!"
"Yes, a Hokage who is affected by negative emotions is no longer competent. Perhaps Kakashi the village needs you."
Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, the two of them sang the same tune, almost adding fuel to the fire, and they were just short of pointing at Uzumaki Naruto's nose and saying that he was not qualified.
This is also due to Uzumaki Naruto's indulgence over the years, which has caused the two corrupt old guys to forget the importance of strength.
Until Hatake Kakashi sighed helplessly and persuaded the two elders to leave.
"Naruto!"
When only Hatake Kakashi and Uzumaki Naruto were left in the office, Hatake Kakashi tried to comfort them, but Uzumaki Naruto looked angry.
He even smashed the table with one punch and roared:
"I, Uzumaki Naruto, saved the ninja world! I saved Konoha, but these two old guys said I'm not qualified? Then who is qualified? Can these two old guys defeat the Otsutsuki?"
Under the influence of negative emotions, Uzumaki Naruto's obsession became more paranoid, especially regarding the position of Hokage. He would never allow anyone to challenge his position.
"Naruto calm down! You need to calm down now!"
Kakashi Hatake's calm exhortation, however, formed a sharp contrast with the irritable Naruto.
Especially after returning to Konoha, facing the strange looks from everyone, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't suppress his anger.
"Teacher Kakashi! You want me to calm down! How can you ask me to calm down? How much have I sacrificed for Konoha? How much blood have I shed for the entire ninja world? And now you want me to calm down!"
The Hokage's office was filled with the constant sound of Uzumaki Naruto's angry roar and Hatake Kakashi's helpless sighs. He could only try his best to comfort Naruto.
Because Naruto now has the ability to destroy Konoha.
However, the two elders who left the office started discussing in a dim secret room.
"Chakra Fruit, it is said that Kaguya Otsutsuki has the secret of immortality. Just take a bite and you will be immortal!"
The hoarse and angry voice of Koharu Utane was heard from the dim secret room.
"Flame! With just one bite we could go back to our youth and fight for the village for decades, but this impulsive Hokage ruined everything!"
"He obviously managed to grab the Chakra Fruit, so why didn't he keep some of it? Whether it was for research or other purposes, it would be the greatest contribution to Konoha, but he didn't! What an impulsive monster!"
For the sake of eternal life, even when facing Uzumaki Naruto, who possesses the strength of the strongest man in the ninja world, Utane Koharu has no fear at this moment.
Or perhaps, Uzumaki Naruto's indulgence over the years made them believe that Naruto would never harm the village no matter what.
"Yes, the Chakra Fruit is a treasure of the ninja world. It is not the private property of Uzumaki Naruto, but he actually ate it alone!"
Mizuto Menen's face was also full of anger, and at this moment, there was a morbid greed and resentment in the eyes of both of them.
They were greedy for the chance of eternal life and hated Uzumaki Naruto for making them lose this opportunity.
"The current Uzumaki Naruto is no longer suitable to be Hokage. The previous Rinnegan boy destroyed Konoha, and now he has the Chakra Fruit to himself. This is not a qualified Hokage."
"Let Kakashi continue to serve as Hokage. Uzumaki Naruto has become like this because of the Chakra Fruit. He should be locked up! No! He should be sealed away and studied carefully. He must not be corrupted by this evil."
"Yes, with the research power of our Konoha, we can definitely research the secret of the Chakra Fruit in Uzumaki Naruto's body, in order to prevent our Hokage from being corrupted by darkness, and to prevent the disaster of Konoha!"
Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En, the two advisory elders who have lived since the Third Hokage, now face the temptation of eternal life with only fanaticism and endless evil greed in their eyes. Although Hatake Kakashi is wise, he never thought that human nature would sprout such a big ambition under the two words of eternal life.
Just as Kakashi Hatake was calmly comforting Uzumaki Naruto who was hiding in the Hokage's office and dared not come out to see anyone.
At this time, rumors gradually began to spread in the rebuilt Konoha village.
"Have you heard that the Seventh Hokage was a disaster? He had the ability to protect the village before, but he ignored it for the sake of the Chakra Fruit."
"How is this possible! How could Hokage-sama do this! I don't believe it."
"No, what is a chakra fruit?"
"You don't know this, but the grandson of my mother's second uncle, third aunt, and eighth aunt once participated in the Fourth World War and witnessed the battle to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki with his own eyes.
This chakra fruit is the source of Kaguya Otsutsuki's power, and also the source of disaster, our Hokage..."
"Impossible! Hokage-sama didn't protect the village for the sake of the Chakra Fruit!?"
In every corner of the Konoha village that was being rebuilt, news started spreading like a virus from somewhere.
In less than half a day, the news spread throughout Konoha.
Countless Konoha people knew of the existence of the Chakra Fruit, and they also knew that their Hokage had snatched the Chakra Fruit in the previous battle.
However, he could not resist the temptation of power and greedily swallowed the chakra fruit, which resulted in him becoming the evil ghost he is today.
Chakra fruit equals disaster, and now Uzumaki Naruto's appearance as a demon almost confirms this.
There is no immortality, only legends of the power of disaster.
"I heard that Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was about to destroy the ninja world, ate the Chakra Fruit. If our Seventh Hokage also ate the Chakra Fruit, will he destroy the world too?"
In the darkness, the villagers of Konoha who were living in makeshift tents were whispering to each other, and the situation was getting more and more serious.
In the end, countless Konoha villagers began to fear, fearing that their Seventh Hokage would fall into darkness.
Uzumaki Naruto in the Hokage's office didn't know all this. Hatake Kakashi had a hard time calming Naruto down, and he wasn't aware of the rumors outside.
After all, Konoha is in a state of disrepair now, with so many casualties before, plus the rumors leaked from within, and the two advisory elders, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, secretly fanning the flames.
This news did not reach the Hokage's office for a while.
Just as this rumor was slowly spreading, the ninja world was also shaken.
……
The battle that took place in Konoha swept through the ninja world like a hurricane.
The Otsutsuki clan arrived, and even Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was sealed during the Fourth World War, broke the seal and escaped.
In particular, the Land of Earth, led by the Fourth Leg Shadow Kurotsuchi, directly defected to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and the entire ninja world was in panic for a while.
The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.
The village's strength was greatly reduced after it was ravaged by Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Kinshiki.
At this time in the Raikage's office, the Fifth Raikage Darui, who had just returned, had a headache on his face.
"What is going on? Our village suffered so many casualties, why aren't we receiving any compensation? Some people in the village have already started protesting, and there is also the black-white divide."
At this time, all the problems of the Hidden Cloud Village broke out, especially in the financial aspect.
The other people in the Raikage's office all looked bitter.
"Lord Raikage, it's not that we don't want to pay the pension, but the previous battle affected our treasury and destroyed it all."
"We are one of the five great ninja villages. If there is no vault, does that mean there is none in the village?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Fifth Raikage, there really is no more!"
"How is this possible!" The Fifth Raikage Darui was shocked and looked at his subordinates angrily.
The subordinate was also feeling aggrieved, and he sighed helplessly and told the truth.
"Lord Raikage, this is not our fault. Since the end of the Fourth World War, the resources of the entire ninja world have begun to flow into Konoha, especially after the Seventh Hokage took office.
The resources of the entire ninja world, even the missions, are all issued in Konoha. Our Cloud Village has been living off the old foundation, and there is no way to deal with it. There is even…"
This subordinate expressed the sadness of the Hidden Cloud Village. Facing Konoha, which has the savior of the ninja world, who dares to say no?
This resulted in the seemingly peaceful ninja world already being filled with hidden dangers.
However, all of this is temporarily hidden under the powerful threat of Uzumaki Naruto, the son of destiny in the ninja world.
But hidden dangers are always hidden dangers. They will not disappear just because they are hidden, but will only expand.
This time, the Hidden Cloud Village was completely unlucky and stepped on a landmine, which caused the explosion.
After listening to the internal information of the village, the Fifth Raikage Darui collapsed and sat directly on the sofa with a thud, muttering to himself with a dull look in his eyes:
“It turns out that the village is now an empty shell. The Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Kinshiki we encountered earlier not only lost the Fourth Raikage and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, but also all the elite troops in the village.
The Hidden Cloud Village is now at its weakest point in history..."
Seeing their own Raikage in this state, the others sighed with bitter smiles.
"Lord Raikage, there are problems within the village right now. If there is no pension, I'm afraid a civil war will break out in the village. Now we can only borrow it!"
"borrow!?"
After hearing this, the Fifth Raikage Darui showed a sad smile. He never expected that the Hidden Cloud Village would suddenly fall to this point.
"Yes, Lord Raikage, in recent years, not only our Hidden Cloud Village, but also the resources and wealth of the entire ninja world have all flowed to Konoha. Let's borrow from Konoha.
Konoha definitely doesn't lack this amount of money, let's get through this difficult time first."
"But Lord Raikage said before that Konoha also suffered a devastating blow."
"How can this be the same? Our village is about to have a civil war, and Konoha's buildings were just pushed down. It's not like it didn't happen during the Fourth World War. Konoha's economy can definitely recover."
At this time, the Fifth Raikage Darui rubbed his forehead with a headache, looking at his subordinates in a mess, he slapped the table and said in a deep voice:
"Arrange an envoy to Konoha! Ask Naruto to borrow some funds!"
"Lord Raikage is wise!" (End of this chapter)
