Naruto: In the name of time, shock the ninja world!.

Seeing that Xingye Feng's eyes suddenly changed and then returned to normal, the queen wanted to say something but stopped, thinking that Xingye Feng might have misunderstood something.

Before she could explain, Xingye Feng said, "We have been in Loulan for so long, it's time to go back."

Then, Xingye Feng lightly tapped his fingertips, and the space in front of him suddenly shattered like a spider web, revealing a dark blue vortex.

Seeing the space getting bigger and bigger, the queen on the side widened her eyes with a look of disbelief.

"Ghana." After saying that, Feng Xingye slowly walked forward and entered the dark blue vortex.

After Xingye Feng left, the queen remained standing there, not coming to her senses for a long time.

Outside an open space outside Konoha Village, the sunlight fell through the mottled leaves, and the rabbit eating the grass suddenly stood up.

Its two long ears stood up, as if it sensed something. The next moment, it exerted force with its legs and quickly ran into the grass, disappearing.

After a while, ripples appeared on the open ground, like the surface of water, and then the space made a creaking sound as if it could not bear the weight.

It didn't last for more than a few seconds before it shattered into pieces. Then a figure stepped out. It was Xingye Feng.

"Eight years is indeed a long time. I'm finally back." Hoshino Feng sighed as he looked at Konoha not far away.

"I don't know who the third generation is now, it should still be Hiruzen." He guessed. "I don't know what happened to the others."

Eight years away from the village was just a short time for him, but for others, it was a long time.

Thinking of this, Hoshino Kaede strode towards Konoha.

"Alas, I heard that Konoha's business taxes are going to increase again. The money earned from each trip is getting less and less. How can we survive?"

On the way, Xingye Feng heard people from a nearby caravan complaining, and their words made him frown.

It seems that Konoha's commercial taxes have become unaffordable for the caravan.

But this is impossible. He and Tobirama had a heated discussion and the tax could not be too low or too high.

Finally, a commercial tax was formulated that was suitable for both parties.

Logically speaking, it is impossible to change it, because the first time of something is very important. When people are used to it, changing it will cause disgust among many people.

This is even more true for commercial taxes. Normally, reasonable commercial taxes will stimulate the enthusiasm of businessmen, but if they are changed, it will lead to disaster.

Hoshino Feng could no longer sit still. He looked at Konoha in front of him with deep eyes, and murderous intent flowed in his eyes.

There must be something wrong, it must be!

"There's nothing we can do. We are not good at talking, and we can't beat them. We can only swallow our anger."

"Yes, after all, Konoha is the largest village in the ninja world, occupying a large area of ​​fertile land."

It seems that this is not an isolated case. One person's complaint has attracted the echo of a large group of people, which already says a lot.

Xingye Feng took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his murderous intent, at least to figure out what was going on.

"Master Ninja, why has the entrance fee to the village increased again? It wasn't this much last time."

The caravan leader suppressed his anger and argued with the ninja guarding the gate.

But the ninja didn't explain, he just said impatiently: "Give it to me or not, you can't enter if you don't."

The situation was more important than the people, so the caravan had no choice but to give in. After all, the village entry fee was a small matter, but if the caravan was delayed, the loss would be huge.

The farce ended just like that, and the people around looked calm, as if they were used to it.

Only an elderly man could not help but sigh and said, "Alas, the world is going downhill."

"Old man, do you know why this is happening?" A gentle voice came from beside the old man.

At some point, Xingye Feng left the team and came to the old man.

"You...you are!!" The old man just glanced casually at first, but this one glance attracted his entire attention, and then he became extremely excited, as if he had seen a god.

"Lord Hoshino!" the old man said with his eyes wide open and his lips moving.

Feng Xingye scratched his head. It was not surprising that he recognized him. After all, the old man had lived long and had seen his portrait.

"Can you tell me what happened in Konoha?" Hoshino Kaede asked again.

At this time, the old man recovered, calmed down and said slowly: "Since the third generation came to power, it was relatively stable at first, but for some reason, the business tax suddenly increased."

"The caravans had to swallow their taxes due to Konoha's majesty. We thought that was the end of it, but it became more and more excessive, with all kinds of taxes coming one after another. In the end..." The old man couldn't help but shake his head. "Even entering the village is charged."

After listening to the old man's story, Xingye Feng's face remained calm, but the air pressure around him suddenly dropped.

He slowly raised his head and looked calmly towards the tallest building in Konoha. His eyes were like sharp swords, piercing through everything and pointing directly at the person sitting in the Hokage's seat.

"My words are insignificant and I can't change anything. I can only go with the flow. But I know that if this continues, it will be fine in the short term, but it will eventually become a hidden danger."

The old man has lived a long life, and his vision has been honed over the years, so every word he says is true.

Buried beneath Konoha's heavy commercial taxes is a dormant volcano.

Once it breaks out, Konoha's years of prosperity will be reduced to ashes.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen, absolutely not." Xingye Feng said solemnly.

"That's good, that's good." The old man smiled from the bottom of his heart. He knew that Xingye Feng would definitely do it.

After paying the full fee, Feng Xingye stepped into the familiar yet unfamiliar land again after eight years.

People came and went, shouts could be heard from time to time, and Feng Hoshino felt every change in Konoha with his heart.

Walking on the street, I saw the humble looks on the vendors' faces, their respect for the ninjas, and the onlookers' hesitation to speak.

Children gathered in groups of two or three. When faced with the ninjas, they suddenly became quiet and walked forward with their heads down. After the ninjas left, they started laughing again. But no matter how Xingye Feng saw this, he felt heartbroken.

"Tobirama, your prophecy has come true..." When seeing more and more changes, Hoshino Kaede's heart sank to the bottom.

If Tobirama were still alive, these things would never happen to the villagers and merchants of Konoha.

The scenes before him made him realize one fact: the Second Hokage had... passed away.

"To pursue quick success and instant benefits without regard for the cost of economic development is like a castle in the air, which is extremely fragile."

Xingye Feng muttered to himself with a heavy face.

Looking at Konoha, an idea suddenly came to his mind: if he had not gone to Loulan, none of this would have happened.

Unfortunately, time never goes back, it only moves forward.

"Konoha is developing too fast, it's easy to get overwhelmed."

"Have you been blinded by the immediate benefits? Can't you see the road clearly anymore?" Hoshino Kaede silently looked towards the Hokage Building and walked towards it.

"What on earth is Hiruzen thinking? Is he really the one who is in control of the situation? Is he addicted to the prosperous scene?"

Full of doubts, Feng Hoshino could not help but quicken his pace, hoping to get answers from the Third Hokage.
