After the destruction of Konoha, tens of thousands of people lost their homes. Reconstruction after the disaster was the top priority, but more than a month later, there was not much progress in the reconstruction project!
It turned out that the Land of Fire was forced by public opinion of this incident and was unwilling to provide funds for the reconstruction of Konoha!
And Konoha's original funds were basically used for the compensation of the families of the victims of the attack on the Chunin Exam!
Affected by this series of vicious incidents, Konoha's reputation was greatly reduced, and the number of commissions was declining. To put it bluntly, they were poor!
Seeing the resentment of the people increasing day by day, the Fifth Hokage, Hatake Kakashi, took the lead and used his own money to donate his savings from many years of missions. The major families and Jonins also responded. But compared to the funds needed for reconstruction, this was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket!
Fortunately, Jiraiya, who returned from Mount Myoboku, used the Mokuton Renjutsu to reduce some of the pressure.
But Jiraiya's Mokuton, after all, was far from Lin Yu and Intercolumnar Space, and he couldn't use the Renjutsu on a large scale!
So the key to solving the problem came back to raising funds.
Kakashi even had the cheek to find Jiraiya and asked him indirectly if he was willing to take out the remuneration for the novel and use it for the construction of the village.
Jiraiya helplessly took out the bankbook, and the balance on it was very little!
It turned out that most of Jiraiya's savings were gambled by Tsunade, and she lost every bet.
Jiraiya also secretly saved some of it for his daughter's dowry in the future.
There was no other way. Konoha held an emergency meeting to raise funds!
Hokage Kakashi, consultants, leaders of major clans, and famous Jonin all came!
Oh, Asuma also came. He had just been discharged from the hospital, sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by Shikamaru, but his eyes had lost their former luster and were dull.
His arrival made the atmosphere more depressing. They all knew what happened to Asuma, but what else could they do except sympathize with him? Should they cut off their little guy and put it on him?
"Ahem." Kakashi cleared his throat and solemnly said: "As for the raising of funds, it is urgent. I hope that everyone here can put forward effective suggestions."
Someone said, "Call on the people to donate. They are under the protection of Konoha, so they have this obligation!"
Kakashi said, "Most of them lost their loved ones in this disaster and are already filled with resentment. We can't let them suffer any more losses …"
Someone said, "Let's borrow from other villages."
Kakashi didn't have much hope, "The Mist has just recovered from the Blood Mist Era, so they won't be able to help us. As for the Sand Village, they can't even take care of themselves … With Rasa's style, I'm surprised that he didn't come with Cloud and Rock to loot the burning house!"
At this time, a representative of Konoha's Intelligence Department said, "I just recently learned the truth about the Sand Village not taking advantage of the situation!"
Everyone cast their gazes over.
"The Sand Hidden Village wanted to join the war and plunder the resources of the Land of Fire, but they suddenly received a huge amount of money!"
"Huge? How huge is it?" Kakashi asked.
"A conservative estimate is ten billion taels!"
"What!?" Almost everyone present was stunned by this terrifying number!
"Who is it that can provide them with such a huge amount of aid?" This was the question on everyone's mind.
"I will say it, but you have to be mentally prepared …" The man said in a low voice.
"Gudong!" Everyone swallowed their saliva and listened carefully.
"It's the Dark Village!"
Boom! This caused a huge uproar.
Whoosh! Choza slammed the table and said, "The Dark Village is attached to a small country, where did they get such a huge amount of money! This is impossible! "
"I can only guarantee that my information is not wrong. As for where the money came from, I don't know!"
"Speaking of which, a few years ago, the Dark Village completed an expansion, and recently, they even planned to expand a second time. All signs indicate that they have made a fortune without us knowing!"
"Then … should we borrow from the Dark Village?" Soon, there was such a proposal.
"This … isn't it inappropriate?" Some people were worried.
"This is our only life-saving straw. When Konoha was in trouble, the only one who rushed thousands of miles to help us was the Dark Village! Only the Dark Hidden Village has the conditions to help us get through this difficult time!! "
"The problem is, who is going to contact the Dark Village?"
Almost everyone looked at Kakashi who was the Hokage!
Kakashi's masked face was full of embarrassment, and his heart was filled with bitterness: Not long ago … Obito saved me, saved Konoha from a crisis, and now I'm struggling to find a way to repay his kindness. How am I going to ask him to lend me money now?!
"Kakashi, Fifth Hokage, you are the Hokage …"
"This arduous mission belongs to none other than you!"
"Because you are the disciple of the Fourth Hokage, there are many people who hate the Minato and don't agree with you being the Hokage!"
"Once you succeed, the people will be grateful to you, and those who oppose you will shut up, and you will be the Hokage!"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Asuma's eyes were uncertain, and his hands were tightly grasping the wheelchair's armrest.
"Yes!" Nara Shikaku noticed this detail and immediately gave his son a look.
Shikamaru understood and hurriedly pushed Asuma away from this place.
Kakashi couldn't refuse and was about to agree when Nara Shikaku said: "I have something to say, you may listen to it."
Kakashi's eyes lit up: "Go ahead, Shikaku."
Nara Shikaku said: "The biggest criticism of Konoha is the former Hokage Minato. Although he is also a victim, in this series of events, he didn't play the role of the Hokage. This is an indisputable fact, and the root of the public's criticism."
"We should give Minato a chance to make a contribution to Konoha, not only to restore his reputation, but also to appease the public's resentment to a certain extent. If Minato's criticism can be appeased, it will be a long-term solution for Konoha. What do you think?"
The people present had different expressions. In fact, not only the people, but many of them were angry with Minato!
Someone said: "Although I personally don't want him to turn over! But for the sake of the Fifth Hokage, give him a chance to make up for his mistakes! "
Someone said: "If it's for the sake of Konoha, I will reluctantly vote for it!"
"Kakashi, what do you think?" Shikaku looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi said: "Then … let's let Sensei do it."
