Chapitre 58: It's all the Third Hokage's fault
' Fuuuuck ' Hiruzen cursed inside his head as he looked at the village below from the window. Even from here, he could see the growing commotion outside. He didn't dare to make any more rash moves because he could still see the huge screen broadcasting everything that was happening in his office.
One wrong move and he would become the sinner of the whole village. Everything he worked hard for would have gone down the drain.
" What are you waiting for? kill anyone who interferes with my orders! " While Hiruzen was freaking out, Danzo's cold voice vibrated in the room. His anger only grew even more when he realized his men were killed off.
At his words, more Root Ninjas suddenly appeared and dashed towards Izanami. This made even Tengen freeze for a few seconds. Did Danzo finally lose it? Did he not care about the consequences after everyone saw what he was about to do?
As much as Tengen wanted answers to those questions he had no time to spare. Unlike earlier when he was able to catch his opponents off guard he now has to protect Izanami from multiple opponents. While he may be the fastest he still lacks experience to fully unleash his potential so he is a bit worried.
But his worries vanished completely when he saw the smile on Izanami's face. She had a look that screamed, ' It is all going according to plan ' . And just like he expected he didn't have to make a move. More ninjas suddenly came inside the room and apprehended them.
" Hiruzen, what are you doing? " Danzo roared as he saw his men being stopped by Anbu ninjas. He glared at Hiruzen demanding answers.
" Yeah Hiruzen, what are you doing? Why is Danzo still unpunished when he dared to attack me? Do you think the World Bank is an easy target for Konoha to bully? " Izanami said in her arrogant voice.
Before Danzo could say anything Hiruzen directly cut in, " Lady Izanami I am terribly sorry .."
" If you are sorry then prove it. Kill the culprit in front of you like you are supposed to " Izanami cut him off mid-sentence before he could say anything else.
Hiruzen choked as he heard those words. He wanted to lash at this girl for even saying that. Who does she think for her to order him to kill his friend and partner? He would never agree to that.
" What, you can't do that? Then why do you even bother trying to fake an apology? If that dog can attack me even when he is in your presence, who knows what he would do in future? Wait, don't tell me you want to protect him because he is the only person who would do all your dirty work. " Izanami said as she was fortified. Her acting skills were so superb that she even fooled the Anbu ninjas.
" You know what screw this since you aren't going to give me a sincere apology, we are going to go to war. The World Bank will stop supporting every single business we fund in Konoha and will collect the last bit of money anyone in Konoha owes to the world.
And if Konoha doesn't give us the money they owe we will commission the other ninja villages to raise this village to the ground. We will also abandon every World Bank branch we have in Konoha. And if the daimyo didn't give us a reasonable explanation we will withdraw from the Fire country as well.
I don't believe the Daimyo who supports such a ninja village which has such an irresponsible Hokage is trustworthy anymore, " Izanami said, shocking everyone. And after that, she walked out of the room with Tengen.
Her words Homura who was in charge of finances pale in fright, Most of the major businesses that are in Konoha are funded by the World Bank's loans. If they stop giving these loans then most businesses would go bankrupt immediately. What's more, they would come to collect every single bit of money they owe to the World Bank.
You must know that most ninjas when they are injured or hospitalized have to take loans to pay for their medical bills. With the scarcity of medical ninjas, the prices are astronomical. And most of the people who usually get hospitalized are the genins and chunins who don't earn much from doing missions.
' we may have screwed up ' he thought with a grave expression.
His thoughts weren't wrong as when the Daimyo who was preparing to head to Konoha heard Izanami's words he almost had a heart attack. If the World Bank truly abandoned the Fire country then he would truly go bankrupt.
" hey speed up we must go to Konoha as quickly as possible " He shouted at his men as he bit his fingernails in anxiety. He wished he was there to give Hiruzen a good beating for screwing things this much.

In Konoha hearing Izanami's declaration many people, ninjas, and civilians alike felt as though they were suddenly electrocuted. Then as though a switch was flipped a huge commotion broke out.
They knew they had no way to pay off their debts suddenly. Especially for ninjas who rarely have a stable income.
" It's over my life, it's over " cried one civilian as he knelt on the ground. He is just a small store owner who can barely pay off his bills. The only reason he was able to start his business was because of the money the World Bank lent him.
The World Bank is the best place that helps poor people like him to make a living. Even when they are here to collect payments the World Bank never acts high and mighty like loan sharks. If one was unable to pay with Ryo they would temporarily allow them to pay with their products.
There is even a saying that if a person is unable to pay the World Bank he or she should just stop doing business. The World Bank is known to be the fairest place as they would adjust the installment fee to match the monthly earnings. So unless someone is stupid they won't have to go through much trouble when paying the loans.
" Curse that bastard who attacked the World Bank. Why the hell did the Third Hokage keep such a cruel person beside him? if he was dead then we won't be caught in this mess " He couldn't help but lament.
He wasn't the only person who thought this. Many others also had the same thought. In the viewing screen, they all saw how Danzo attacked Izanami just because he was angry. His intention of killing Izanami was too obvious.
If the third Hokage accepted Izanami's demand and punished Danzo for his actions then everyone would be happy.
These thoughts kept pouring into the people's minds as they thought of ways to pay off their debts. They didn't think for a moment about not paying their debts. As Izanami said the World Bank would very much issue other ninja villages missions to collect the money. They had the capital to do such a thing.
And since no one wanted to be the target of the World Bank's revenge plan they could only obediently find some properties for them to sell and cover the loan payments. And of course, they cursed Danzo every five minutes to alleviate a little bit of their resentment.
If Danzo was here they would personally kill him so that the World Bank would not go to war with Konoha. .
