Talent Entry Ninja of Konoha

"Danzo, you've really turned into a woman!"

Seeing Danzo who removed the Transformation Technique, Koharu looked at him in surprise.

She wasn't disgusted by Danzo's appearance like this.

Instead, she felt closer to Danzo.

After all, in the past, among the four of them, she was the only woman, but now, there was an extra Danzo.

Now, hadn't the number of females become equal to the number males?

Just right!

"Shut up, Koharu!"

Danzo said viciously.

Koharu chuckled and didn't care about Danzo's bad attitude.

She also knew that Danzo hadn't become used to being a woman yet.

Once Danzo gets used to it, he won't be like this anymore.

And what's wrong with being a woman?

Koharu though it was pretty good.

"Ahem! Alright, since Danzo is here, let's start discussing that matter."

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice, making everyone look away from Danzo and look at himself.

Normally, Danzo would be the first to speak at such times, but right now Danzo was standing on the sidelines.

He was completely acting like an outsider, with no intention of asking any questions.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

He found out that there were benefits to Danzo being a woman.

The biggest advantage was that Danzo had begun to feel embarrassed to express himself.

He seemed to be afraid that everyone's attention would be on him, and he would be greeted with dazzling eyes.

'It seems that I should thank that intruder instead.' Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself.

But if he really met that person, Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely let his subordinate Anbu rush forward without saying a word.

After all, if Danzo could become like this today, he may also become like that in the future.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to become like Danzo.

Just look at Danzo now.

Although he is still alive, his situation is worse than being dead.

Danzo really felt that his life was worse than death at this time.

Especially when he felt Sarutobi Hiruzen's playful eyes, he suffered even more.

"Damn Hiruzen!"

"How dare he?!"

No matter how thick-skinned Danzo was, Danzo could hardly hold back when his old friends in the past made fun of him like this.

Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew it was not a good idea to continue provoking Danzo.

During the whole discussion, Danzo seemed to have wandered away.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen said that everyone could go, he turned around and left Hokage's office without saying a word.

As soon as he went out, Danzo used the Transformation Technique to transform himself into another person.

He didn't dare to change into his original appearance now.

Everyone knew that he Shimura Danzō had turned into a woman.

So, as long as they saw him Danzo, the eyes of those people would become very strange.

It was like they were looking at some rare animal.

This made Danzo feel unbearable. So, he simply turned into someone else.

That way no one would recognize him.

In Hokage's office.

Nara Shikaku was asked to stay behind by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Shikaku, the village will hold a joint Chūnin exam in a few months, and I want you to be in charge of coordinating it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Shikaku to stay because he wanted to chat with him about the Chūnin exam in a few months.

This time the Chūnin exam will not be attended only by some small ninja villages in the surrounding area.

It has been confirmed that Sunagakure who had signed an alliance agreement with them would come.

When the time comes for the last exam, even Fourth Kazekage will be there in person.

So, Sarutobi Hiruzen also attached great importance to this Chūnin exam.

He was worried about handing over this matter to other people.

But if this person is Nara Shikaku, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be fully reassured.

"Okay, Lord Hokage. I will start preparing in the next few days, and I will definitely ensure the safety of the village by then." Nara Shikaku said.

"Safety is important, but it is also necessary to show Konoha's might. The daimyo will also send people to watch the ceremony. You know, the village has spent a lot of money over the years."

"I have always been very nervous. If the daimyo doesn't have enough confidence in Konoha, next year's funding may be reduced again. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not worried about the village.

After all, the ones who will come this time are just small Ninja Villages, and Sunagakure, the weakest village among the five major ninja villages.

He was more concerned about whether this Chūnin exam would be able to demonstrate Konoha's strength.

This was a good chance to attract more wealthy businessmen to invest in Konoha, and have them post more high-level tasks in Konoha.

At the same time, it would be even better if the daimyo of the Land of Fire could be satisfied.

After all, running a village costs a lot of money.

Who is the richest in the Land of Fire?

Of course it's the daimyo!

The funds allocated by the Daimyo alone are enough to support a large number of ninjas every year.

In the past two years, too many things have happened in Konoha.

So much so that the Daimyo has lowered the village's annual funding two years in a row.

If the funding continues to be reduced like this, the living standards of the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan will be lowered.

By that time, how would Sarutobi Hiruzen find a way to pocket some profit for his family's ninjas?

After listening to what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Nara Shikaku just nodded.

He said that he would definitely satisfy those wealthy businessmen and the Daimyo.

As for the funding issue that Sarutobi Hiruzen talked about?

Nara Shikaku was a smart person.

Of course he knew that the funds given by the Daimyo each year were far more than what Sarutobi Hiruzen had said.

As for where did the rest of the funds go?

You don't need to ask, and you don't need to know.

Just understand it in your heart.

After all, the Nara clan was on good terms with the Sarutobi clan.

To put it bluntly, they also gained something.

It's just that the benefits they obtained were not as much as those of the Sarutobi clan.
