Chapter 179
Shen Yue's sight quickly swept across the arena and moved to the high platform directly above.
On the high platform, the four shadows gathered together, and the second-in-commands also sat together. These people looked friendly, talking and laughing, and were instructing the seeded players who were fighting hard in the arena, and they were hypocritically flattering each other.
Although it seemed peaceful on the surface, it was actually undercurrents. Except for the silly-smiling Hashirama, everyone else had their own ulterior motives, hidden calculations and ambitions.
But despite their own thoughts, they had a consensus, that is, they must try to stop Konoha from continuing to grow!
These ninjas who lacked brains in economic development were very keen on intrigues. Even if they joined the alliance, they were full of fear and malice towards other villages.
However, tripping and stabbing other villages were just for life, but toppling Konoha was almost their common belief.
Konoha, which was already a behemoth, if it continued to develop, the consequences would definitely not be what the people of the four villages wanted to see.
Hashirama has no ambition to annex the ninja world, but Uchiha Madara clearly doesn't!
These strong men who have come all the way from the Warring States period are used to the bloody storm and can't think of any other means. In the end, the most convenient thing is killing and looting.
Nine years of peace have not completely changed their way of thinking. Although there are some improvements, they are not much.
However, as long as Konoha continues to provide low-priced food to the entire ninja world, they dare not take action easily. Even the reckless Ai knows that once Konoha is angered, people don't need to start a war to retaliate against them. They just need to stop the food supply, and the entire country of thunder will face severe famine.
Today, the awe of Konoha by the four major ninja villages and many small countries is no longer a simple awe of powerful forces, but a reliance on survival.
At this time, the contestants in the Chunin examination are all Genin from the five major ninja villages, and the Genin from the small villages have long been eliminated.
This is not surprising. In the ninja world, it is so difficult for ordinary ninjas to stand out without the support of a family and a powerful village.
However, they are still lucky. With Hashirama watching, the Chunin Exam did not become a life-and-death contest of mutual slaughter. After two Chunin Exams, the injury rate of contestants was extremely high, almost close to 100%, but thanks to strict management and fair rules, no one died in the exam.
Most of these small village ninjas who survived the fierce competition were not seriously injured. Many people were watching the battle in the audience seats, and at least they saved their lives.
In this way, it seems that the ninjas are more civilized and restrained by not killing people and only injuring them.
Shenyue narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and decided in his heart that this was definitely a good thing.
No matter how good the fighting is, it will make people bored if you watch it too much. Shenyue yawned lazily, looking like a lazy cat.
Several obscure prying eyes pierced over instantly. She only glanced at them, undisguisedly returned a provocative and contemptuous roll of the eyes, and ignored them.
She also grabbed a skewer from Miki to eat. Shen Yue decisively ignored the other party's resentful complaints. She chewed the food and squinted her eyes to scan the old classmates in the audience.
This group of people is now like elementary school students at a sports meeting, cheering for the participating juniors and unfamiliar Konoha Genin with all their strength. The noisy sound made Shen Yue's eardrums hurt.
While counting the familiar faces, the faint boredom gradually turned into sleepiness, as if brewing a nap.
Shen Yue couldn't help it, and yawned one after another. Under the strange eyes of Miki and Inari, she fell asleep in the noisy audience.
At least, just before she went to sleep, she suddenly remembered something——
Speaking of which, where are those three guys, Hozuki Oborozuki, Kaguya Sora, and Mizunotsuki Rin? I haven't seen them for a long time.
......
After the Chunin Exam, Hashirama acted as a guide and actively led the high-ranking people of the four villages around Konoha, like a group of idle tourists.
This group of people was quite conspicuous. After all, it was rare for all the top strong men in the entire ninja world to gather together, but the appearance of these strong men was really not flattering.
Under the desperate promotion of the Konoha villagers who wanted to make money, after walking a few steps on the street, the four shadows all put on strange pointed hats, funny masks on their faces, and held free snacks in their hands. They looked like a group of weirdos on a spring outing.
The second-in-commands who were originally following closely behind tacitly refused the hats and masks, and silently distanced themselves from the shadows in front, invisibly drawing a line between them.
The leaders, Hashirama and Ishikawa, were cheerful and didn't care about their strange clothes or the attention they attracted. The Raikage didn't care.Reito, who values the free snacks more but values his face, is so ashamed that he wants to find a hole to crawl into!
There is no way, who says that Sand Village is Konoha's younger brother, and he follows the boss to do whatever he does.
The monster group continues to wander around, but Konoha is always very lively and there is never a lack of interesting things.
A group of poor life ninjas are busy shuttling around the construction site, carrying heavy materials that look like they can crush them to death, and using life ninjutsu to quickly stabilize the foundation, and buildings are rising from the ground here.
There are all kinds of daily necessities in the market, and mountains of oil, salt and food come into view. Even the most common street shops supply a variety of goods.
The weirdos went in for another round, and they thought they didn't recognize a lot of things in it, even though they claimed to be knowledgeable.
With Konoha's control over the Land of Fire and its growing influence, as well as the living ninjas who were sent to various places to build roads, and the combat ninjas who stayed in other places and refused to come back to work overtime in the name of suppressing bandits, goods from all over the country poured into Konoha like a tide.
Goods from all over the country greatly enriched the market of Konoha, and along with them came talents and resources. Nowadays, Konoha has long been the de facto capital of the Land of Fire. As for the city where the daimyo originally lived, after experiencing the turmoil and the blow of losing the daimyo, it has long been in decline and has never been rebuilt.
After wandering around the market, the sightseeing group ran into Uchiha Shan's tasting session.
In front of the stalls filled with the aroma of meat, a long winding line had already gathered. People were attracted by the tempting aroma and free food, but they didn't know that free is the most expensive.
Several grass ninjas cooked on the spot, making them lose their minds with their appetites. Uchiha Shan stood on a temporary high platform, shaking his body, and kept speaking some brainwashing advertising slogans in a loud voice:
"Uchiha Selection, the top beef and mutton from the Grass Country, we select the best herds, each of which grows leisurely on the green pasture, enjoying the purest grass in nature, rich in vitamins ABCDEFG needed by the human body. Now it's the opening celebration, surprise discount-buy one get one free, buy it and you'll earn it..."
When they left, they not only grabbed two free skewers in their hands, but also bought some Uchiha brand beef and mutton, which was said to be super high quality.
After eating the skewers, Hashirama took them to watch the bloody drama specially provided by Konoha. The specially arranged drama this time was a promotional drama with Shen Yue as the protagonist, and it was also the third episode of the series.
After eating a full meal, people will be bored, and people who are bored will spontaneously look for fun. After watching the same episode hundreds and thousands of times, the group finally got tired of it and strongly demanded to watch the sequel or something else.
Tobirama slapped his head and decided to make a TV series. Shenyue was okay, as she was young and could not shoot a few episodes, but Tobirama only shot more than 30 episodes.
But Hashirama and Madara were miserable. Tobirama directly made a grand plan to shoot 100 episodes. Such an outrageous request almost made the director who had only written bloody romance novels collapse!
Shenyue had only one comment on this-
"The entertainment industry of Konoha is over!"
This super long and watered-down drama filled with a lot of advertisements can only fool the ignorant people in the ninja world. Of course, for the three shadows who have never been exposed to this kind of entertainment, such new things still make them quite interested.
But even they think that this drama has too many advertisements, which is really outrageous!
The "Uchiha Shenyue" on the stage seemed to be eating all day long. Sometimes it was a cake of the Sweet brand, sometimes it was Uchiha brand milk tea, and from time to time there would be dumplings and other delicacies from dessert shops in "her" hands, and then "she" would eat them up.
Seeing "Shenyue" swallowing another big cake that was half her height, several Kages and their deputies stared in astonishment-
Is that awesome genius so greedy?
Soon, "Shenyue" on the stage showed "her" other special hobbies, including playing a game of Konoha before doing anything, or always holding the Uchiha Yizhen brand plush pillow.
So everyone's three views were successfully renewed again-
Wow, it turns out that Uchiha Shenyue is so playful?
"Master Hashirama, why are there so many, uh..."
The pathetic and unsophisticated people of the four villages still don't understand the concept of advertising, but Hashirama has already understood what they mean, which makes him sweat a little bit of embarrassment on his forehead.
Why can't he figure it out and bring people here to see such a broken thing?
Hashirama hurriedly explained:
"This, this is all fakeYes, it's just an advertisement. Tobirama paid them to promote it. Don't take it to heart!"
After watching this bloody drama, excluding the advertisement part, the three Kages and the second-in-command who watched the drama for the first time were actually quite satisfied. At least, they got a lot of information about Shenyue from it.
It has to be said that Uchiha Shenyue has been a demon since he was a child. When they were four or five years old, they could only go to the battlefield to kill people, but Shenyue, who was five years old, was thinking about farming to fill his stomach.
This may be the glutton changing the world?
