The prospects have been discussed, the positive cases have been discussed, and the negative cases have been discussed.
The Nara family's think tank had a premonition that what was about to happen would be an extraordinary beginning.
Chapter 166: Will the rich lead the poor?
"For the sake of Konoha, we should abandon our past shortcomings of being too kind and weak."
?
Kind and weak? The Hokage's secretary said that he was too kind and weak before...
Although I was mentally prepared to a certain extent, it was still hard to agree with this opening.
A lot of blood has been shed in the village, I hope it won't turn into a blood mist.
In Shikaku's opinion, the current level of reform is already very radical, almost comparable to many of the operations during the reign of Senju Tobirama.
And even bolder... it was beyond his vision as a ninja. He could only make some guesses about some business predictions, after all, he was short of money.
"According to what the Hokage meant, the village should form its own caravan and use the Rain Country as a hub to conduct commercial trade with the other four countries?"
"How can this be possible? As the military organization of the Fire Nation, Konoha is not allowed to trade in the name of the village, so it can only be a private merchant group.
Given the prestige of the Nara clan among the ninjas, it shouldn't be a problem for them to form a caravan to conduct commercial trade, right?"
……so good?
The profits from this kind of business group would definitely drive people crazy, especially if it was done by ninjas, who would have both armed forces and good information channels, and would be able to make money no matter how they did business.
Just like the previous medicinal materials business, a resourceful ninja is also a dragon-level threat to ordinary trade.
But... it's a bit of a borderline, Nara's medicinal materials business is only targeting the ninja community.
And this time the trade also includes ordinary people. The Daimyo...would not want Konoha Village to do this.
"For the sake of Konoha, I have no choice but to put up with the Daimyo. I hope he can understand."
It seems that the Hokage is determined to support commoners to rise to power and fully realize the original will of the Senju based on the foundation of the Nidaime-sama. Even non-ninjas are included in the plan.
Every villager is equal, what a naive idea! The orthodoxy of the Will of Fire really lies in the hands of the Five Hokage.
Shikamaru knew very well that only a large amount of money could produce a suitable ninja.
The reason why it is difficult for civilian ninjas to succeed is not only the lack of education, but also the lack of resources.
In terms of diet, the ninja clan has been strengthening their physical fitness through some food conditioning since childhood. After all, chakra is a combination of spirit and body, and if the body becomes stronger the spirit will not be weak, so more chakra can be extracted.
In the later stages, there will be enhancements in medicine, as well as various secret medicines for training.
For example, when practicing physical skills, there are special medicines to assist in the practice.
The ointment that Hinata tried to give away was a low-key luxury. Just that small amount was enough for an ordinary family to eat and drink for a month.
Hard training is like Might Day.
Kaibamen only kicked to death four of the Seven Swordsmen, but Kai still made up for the physical deficiency through the relief of the village in the peaceful period after the end of the Third World War.
To become emperor in one battle requires solid physical fitness.
As for the ninja tools used for training, explosive talismans, food pills, etc., each aspect costs money.
In the days when there were no ninja schools, civilian families were not even qualified to become cannon fodder with a 99% death rate.
Every ninja is a tool made with money.
The profits brought by this kind of commercial trade can be said to be violent. In order to give up this profit, one must also resist the pressure from the daimyo. So what should one obtain?
In particular, this secret technique of Hokage has always been to weaken the ninja clan whenever possible, and has always adhered to the idea that everyone is equal in Konoha.
If someone else were suddenly offered such a huge benefit, they would have been ecstatic, but Shikaku always thinks more about it.
"Don't think too much. The wisdom of the Nara clan is sometimes also a shackle."
"Please give instructions, Secretary."
"I can point you to some projects and products with very high profit margins. I can set an example and lead the people on this list to invest in them."
Shikaku took it and saw that they were all supporters of the Hokage faction, and there were also many ninjas from civilian families.
Of course, there is also a plan for profit sharing, and as the Hokage's secretary, you will definitely get a big share, which is the quota that belongs to the Hokage.
After putting it away, he waited to hear the rest of the story. He felt that the next part was the main point.
“Ahem, there are also some long-term projects with particularly large profits.
I want you to lead some of the village's backbone forces to participate. These people are all people I have carefully examined and trustworthy. "
After receiving the list, the Hokage staff broke out in a cold sweat.
Is this a business list? Is this a book of life and death?
These are the families that made the wrong choice when the core area was rebuilt, and some of them are secretly colluding to fight against the rise of the civilians.
There are also some die-hard conservatives and groups that have too close ties with the former Elders.
Almost all of them are on the list.
"I think with your wisdom, it should be no problem to get everyone to invest."
"Can I trust you, Shikaku?"
This was the second person to ask him this after the Hokage.
It was asked on the street without any confidentiality measures, just like a casual question, but it made smart people feel extremely frightened.
When the Hokage's secretary asked this, he had already lost the chance to refuse.
This obviously allows him to use the status and ability of the Nara family to act as the black and white gloves.
He was a little hesitant about the survival of his family. His extraordinary wisdom was spinning wildly in his brain, trying to find a way to have the best of both worlds.
“There is really no better choice, and Hokage-sama doesn’t want to give up on them.
It’s just…some people are destined to be eliminated by the times.
So don’t feel any psychological burden. The Nara clan will always be the Nara clan, but some people will shine in another way.”
"Sir, what if the people on the second list are unwilling to participate in Konoha's construction project..."
"The people on the first list got rich first, which made the people on the second list think they could get rich later. This is called an alternative version of the rich first driving the rich later."
Noah had a strange look on his face.
"We even have to restrict the qualifications of those on the second list. If they don't give enough benefits, they can't participate."
Someone is using cruel means to extract the marrow from the bones and peel off Konoha's stubborn illness.
Shikaku took a deep breath and suddenly felt some empathy for the ninjas living under the rule of the Nidaime-sama.
No wonder some families inexplicably fell into decline during that period of history. This is a monster that is the result of great wisdom and strength.
Although they were walking under the long-awaited sunshine in the Rain Country, the wise men of the Nara family felt a chill to the bones.
No choice...
So he put the two lists in his arms.
"Please rest assured, sir. The Nara clan is Konoha's Nara clan. Everything is for Konoha."
From this moment on, his stance was completely welded.
The new Hokage is much more powerful than the old one, and he has become more unscrupulous after gaining power through force.
The key point is that what he is doing seems to be for the good of the village, so he should devote himself wholeheartedly to the wave of reform.
As for those who are still chattering behind the scenes, their doomsday has also come.
The strong men who caused bloodshed in front of the Hokage Building would not care about the thoughts of the ninja clan, and would even use those people's desires to rob the accumulated wealth.
This is an invisible war.
After finishing the conversation with the smart guy, the Hokage's secretary went to change clothes as he had to attend the second investment meeting today.
The Akatsuki organization is going to bring warmth to the Kingdom of Wind.
Chapter 167 What a coincidence
Chiyo and Sasori were walking on the streets of Daimyo Castle.
Looking at the city where people live and work in peace and contentment, the elder of the Sand Village looked a little relieved. Luo Sha had returned to the village, and as the highest-ranking elder he did not need to report to anyone when he went out.
As the younger brother, Ebizo has to work hard under the oppression of his sister no matter how old he is.
It's impossible for the two of them to just stay here and do nothing.
So one person was left behind to collect information for the village and conduct commercial screening.
I spend all my time with my grandson. I won’t be able to enjoy this kind of family happiness when I return to the Kingdom of Wind.
"The Akatsuki organization was already well-known during the Third World War, and I didn't expect you to join them.
The peace group is said to have been trying to bring peace to the country without resorting to force.
Now it doesn’t seem that simple.”
Although Chiyo is old, his mind is still sharp.
She knew what kind of person her grandson was. Children who grew up in a ninja family were naturally different from those of ordinary people in their values.
Especially the ninja family whose parents have both passed away is even more twisted.
Scorpion was only well-behaved in her memory. In fact, apart from a little gentleness, he was mostly cold.
The genius of the Sand Village spent his childhood in hatred and various puppets. Sometimes Chiyo felt that Scorpion was becoming more and more like a puppet rather than a human being.
He should be a person who ignores things like life and peace and leaves no traces of them in his heart.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have started studying the forbidden art of human puppets so early.
An organization that can absorb the Kage who poisoned its own village and preach peace everywhere... has almost no credibility.
Besides, the steel war machines that night were definitely not used for plowing the land. The heavy machine guns placed on the battlefield were simply giants born for killing.
If she continued to follow such an organization, it would be nothing more than a conspiracy to subvert the ninja world. Anyway, she didn't believe that Zaku could bring love and peace.
Scorpion agrees with Chiyo's prejudice...very much. The Akatsuki organization will definitely start a war throughout the ninja world in the end.
To use Noah's words, some garbage will not enter the trash can on its own.
And liberation without bloodshed is always incomplete.
In order to prevent the delusion of restoration, it is best to achieve the goal in one fell swoop. The right way is to burn all the bad guys.
Zaku was born to achieve the goal of peace through war.
But after Scorpion recited it as if he was reciting a text, Chiyo became even more worried. It seemed like this child had been brainwashed.
Clothed in a sacred guise, doing the same thing as before.
then……
"Was the guy who used Flying Thunder God that day Noah?"
"Yes."
"Make an appointment. I want to talk to him."
……
"Why not just forget it, old woman. That man... is very dangerous."
The little bit of family affection that Scorpio has is trying to prevent this from happening.
Chiyo found it funny that her grandson looked down upon her.
Maybe my performance was a little poor when we met again because I didn't have the information, but I also kept my hands off at that time.
"Heh, I'm a well-known figure in the ninja world. I've survived until now and have honed my strength and heart to the point where I'm fearless. So what if a little brat has some strategies?
You have no idea how many unknown sides there are to people who have participated in several Ninja World Wars and survived.
