Because half of Konoha was destroyed, there were far more Ninja clearing ruins than those, like the Third Squad, who went to cut down trees.
Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!
A loud shout came, and the next moment, a large number of Naruto's Shadow Clones appeared before everyone.
While the surrounding Ninja were stunned, Naruto began to quickly clear the surrounding ruins at a very fast speed.
"Naruto is amazing!"
Seeing this scene, Sakura's face showed a look of surprise, and she couldn't help but say excitedly.
The work done by Naruto's Shadow Clones in just a short time was already close to completing their workload for today.
Thinking of this, Sakura's face was filled with joy, and she turned her head to look at Kakashi Hatake not far away:
"Kakashi-sensei, if we finish today's work early, can we leave?"
Kakashi drooped his eyelids, cleared the rubble around him and piled it up, then slowly straightened up, looked at Sakura, and said with a hint of helplessness in his voice:
"No, and there's still a lot of work to do."
After speaking, Kakashi looked up and motioned for Sakura to look around at the scene of ruins everywhere.
Sakura's head instantly drooped. Clearing such a large area of ruins would take who knows how long.
Seeing Sakura's appearance, Kakashi smiled helplessly, then looked up at Sasuke and Naruto who were also clearing ruins not far away.
Seeing how seriously they were working, Kakashi's face didn't relax; instead, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and his forehead couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.
Given Sasuke and Naruto's personalities, when had they ever performed a mission so seriously?
Sasuke was one thing, but with Naruto's restless personality, for such a tedious job, he would have complained long ago if it were peacetime.
But now, he was even using the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu to help with the clearing, and he was doing it with a serious expression, which was somewhat illogical in itself.
Kakashi's gaze moved away from Naruto and looked around at the other Konoha Ninja who were also clearing ruins.
Although no one was speaking or even making any extra movements, Kakashi could still feel a sense of alienation towards Naruto.
Some Ninja even carried a hint of wariness towards Naruto.
Compared to the Naruto who used pranks to attract attention in the past, the current Naruto probably knows that if he still did that, it would only backfire.
Helping the people around him clear the ruins through the Shadow Clone Jutsu, perhaps this is the only thing the current Naruto can do.
A hint of dimness flashed in Kakashi's eyes. He could help Naruto regain confidence and become cheerful again, but he couldn't make the surrounding Ninja eliminate their wariness towards Naruto.
Perhaps it wasn't exactly wariness...
This sudden war not only destroyed the homes of most people but also resulted in the deaths of many Ninja and civilians, and most of this resentment was directed at the Four Great Shinobi Villages.
But given Konoha's current state, it was impossible to launch another war. When these resentful emotions couldn't be vented,
Naruto, who possessed the same Adamantine Sealing Chains ability as the attacker, would become the target for these people's resentment.
Currently, it wasn't obvious, but that was only because everyone hadn't yet recovered from the grief following the war.
But over time, what Naruto would face would likely be more than just this sense of alienation.
Not just Naruto, but also Sasuke next to him.
Although Sasuke currently seemed to have no major issues, based on Kakashi's understanding of Sasuke,
the calmer Sasuke appeared, the more he struggled internally.
This war had too great an impact on the entire Konoha, not just in terms of the extent of the damage.
More importantly, the impact was greatest on these Genin who had not yet experienced war.
If Lord Third hadn't died, he might have been able to stabilize Konoha, but now, a new Hokage has still not been chosen.
This is Konoha's biggest problem at the moment.
Kakashi couldn't help but rub his forehead, looking troubled.
Hokage Office Building.
Being located in the center of Konoha, the Hokage Office Building narrowly avoided being destroyed by this great battle.
Otherwise, the many high-ranking officials of Konoha probably wouldn't even have a place to hold meetings.
Bang!
A dull sound echoed in the Hokage Office.
Tsunade slammed the Hokage Office desk in front of her into pieces, her eyes wide, glaring furiously at Danzo, who had a calm expression:
"Before Lord Third died, he passed the position of Hokage to Jiraiya. Danzo, are you trying to oppose the Hokage's command?"
Hearing Tsunade call him by his name, Danzo's eyelid twitched, but his expression remained calm.
"Tsunade, actually, with my personality, being Hokage might also be a bit inappropriate."
Jiraiya looked at the furious Tsunade, scratched his hair, and said helplessly.
"You shut up!"
Tsunade turned her head and yelled at Jiraiya.
After speaking, Tsunade turned back to look at Danzo and Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu beside Danzo.
Jiraiya, with a helpless expression, quickly shut his mouth.
"Hiruzen did pass the position of Hokage to Jiraiya, but whether Jiraiya can become Hokage? It's not just up to Hiruzen's words; it requires the decision of the entire Konoha leadership and the heads of each clan."
Danzo's indifferent voice reached everyone present.
"Furthermore, Jiraiya has been outside the Village for many years and doesn't understand the current Konoha at all. Making such a hasty decision might not be a good thing for Konoha right now."
On the other side, Homura Mitokado continued after Danzo, speaking.
Seeing the expressions of Danzo, Homura Mitokado, and Utatane Koharu, a cold smile appeared on Tsunade's face.
At this moment, Tsunade's gaze suddenly fell on Jiraiya next to her, who seemed like an outsider, watching the scene before him.
A surge of anger rose in Tsunade's heart, and accompanied by a scream, Jiraiya was directly embedded in the wall of the Hokage Office.
"Lady Tsunade, there are still several high-ranking officials here."
Shizune, standing behind Tsunade, twitched her mouth when she saw this scene and quickly reminded her cautiously.
"Hmph! Since when did the Village's Kage's orders become so ineffective? Don't think I don't know, when Great-Grandfather chose Lord Third to be Hokage back then, he didn't ask for the approval of any high-ranking officials or clan heads."
Tsunade let out a cold snort, her gaze fixed on the three of them, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
If the situation in Konoha wasn't so bad right now, Tsunade would have left Konoha long ago.
The current Konoha absolutely cannot be controlled by someone like Danzo.
