Chapter 130 More money is needed!
Rather than calling Konoha a political power, it would be more appropriate to summarize it as a hodgepodge of military contracting groups and their supporting service systems.
There are no factions in the village, and there are all kinds of strange things.
Every ninja is one of the shareholders of the Konoha Group and holds corresponding positions in this military group, while civilian ninjas are ordinary contract workers. Although the Will of Fire claims that "everyone has the opportunity to become Hokage"
, but any civilian ninja with some experience will no longer take the propaganda of the ninja school seriously.
A cruel ninja career will make people grow up as quickly as possible, especially in the war years. Those who cannot grow up quickly are already lying in the Konoha Cemetery to be paid tribute by future generations.
Due to the different growth environment, the ninjas of the ninja clan appear to be more precocious and slick in thinking.
Therefore, compared with civilian ninjas, ninjas of the ninja clan, especially the leaders of the ninja clan, are relatively more resistant.
The news that the Hokage planned to convene a ninja clan meeting was quickly conveyed to the leaders of each ninja clan.
What is the purpose of the Ninja clan meeting? Even if the Hokage didn't say it clearly, the Ninja clan leaders knew it.
It's just that they are interested in the power of the family ninja in their hands.
Of course, the ninja clan does not mind handing over the family ninja to register as a Konoha ninja who can be dispatched by the village, but the prerequisite is that there are sufficient exchange resources.
It can be funds or resources, preferably a systematic ninjutsu.
For ninjas, especially ordinary ninjas, it is not difficult to collect a ninjutsu that matches their chakra attributes. The most difficult thing is to collect and form a ninjutsu system with moderate difficulty, ranging from low level to high level.
.
A complete ninjutsu system represents a development direction of the ninja clan.
After all, even for a secretive ninja clan like Inoraka Die, not every ninja clan member is suitable to practice the secret arts inherited from his family. If his ninja qualifications are pretty good, he can practice a ninjutsu system that matches his own attributes, thereby transforming into a ninja clan.
It is also a good way out for ordinary Five Release Ninjutsu ninjas.
When the meeting of the ninja clan was officially held, the leaders of each clan agreed on each other's asking price after many rounds of private negotiations. They all geared up to make a big profit from the village in one fell swoop.
However, at this ninja clan meeting, the conditions given by the Hokage were a bit unusual.
"What! Idiot?!"
"You want to take away our people with just a piece of paper? Just dream!"
The third generation of Sarutobi Hiruzen had just proposed the compensation conditions for the village to recruit family ninjas, and the leaders of the various ninja clans participating in the meeting immediately jumped up in anger.
Especially the leaders of the small ninja clans in each family.
As an ordinary ninja clan held together by the inheritance of ninjutsu and blood relations, under the impact of the will of fire, they could barely maintain the family structure. They were only one step away from disintegrating into ninja families. Therefore,
They attach great importance to the family ninjas they can control, and hope that by handing over the family ninjas, they can obtain a batch of resources to train the next generation of clan members.
"If it's just a white note...it's absolutely impossible!"
The venue suddenly became noisy.
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen was also a little helpless.
After losing Danzo, the "Dark Shinobi" who specialized in playing bad roles, his power as Hokage seems to have been reduced.
In the past, the ninja leaders would not have dared to bargain with him like this. Danzo in the corner snorted with a dark face, and the venue immediately became silent and extremely well-behaved.
Another day of missing Danzo...
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Uchiha Tokko, who was in the first row of seats on the left, without revealing anything.
"Since the village may be fighting on multiple fronts at the same time, it is indeed difficult for the village to raise so many resources to distribute compensation to each family, so this is the last resort. But please rest assured that after the war is over, all the bills will be honored in an orderly manner.
, you don’t have to worry..."
After the venue became a little quieter, the third generation Hiruzen Sarutobi forced out a smile and explained to the ninja leaders.
but!
As the leader of the ninja clan, even though his strength may not be great, his brain must be good!
There are several keywords in the Sandaime's words: fighting at the same time, difficulty in raising funds, and orderly fulfillment!
What does this mean?
We are all old foxes for thousands of years, why are we still playing word games to show our minds?
After another commotion, a ninja leader was elected to stand up and speak out what everyone was thinking.
"Lord Hokage, it is true that as you said, the economic situation of the village is indeed not optimistic. As a member of Konoha, we understand it very well. We also want to solve the village's problems and tide over the difficulties together, but..."
"Tell the important point!"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen listened and then impatiently interrupted the ninja leader's routine.
"How is the end of the war defined? How long is the time limit for fulfillment?"
The leader of the ninja clan didn't waste any time, and immediately threw away the cliché and said directly: "And the time is dragging too long, so we have to pay more!"
The other ninja leaders behind him immediately nodded in unison.
Only the Uchiha, Hinata, Inokacho and other wealthy clans remained calm.
"How much more will it cost?"
After turning to bed, Xiaochun frowned and said.
The leaders of the little ninja clan got together and bargained collectively with the village, which made her very unhappy.
All of them don't pay attention to the Will of Fire at all, and their dark hearts are only filled with money!
"An additional 30%!"
"impossible!"
As soon as the leader of the ninja clan finished speaking, Xiaochun immediately hit the table and objected, "You are greedy! You are going too far!"
"The Hyuga family's syndicate loan has an annual interest rate of 20%, so we want 30%, which is not excessive at all!"
"And once the war starts, there's no telling when it will end!"
"Besides, the village doesn't know if it will have so much money to pay for compensation by then! We are also at risk!"
The leaders of various families started arguing one after another.
"quiet!"
Mito Kadoyan realized that something was not good, and immediately took out a small hammer and banged on the table.
After the venue became quiet again, Mito Kadoyan once again signaled with his eyes to the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen to answer everyone.
"I believe everyone knows that the reason why ninjas are recruited from various families this time is mainly to deal with the war that Kirigakure may launch..."
"Of course, Kirigakure may not have the guts to take the initiative to launch a war against our powerful Konoha. The purpose of deploying family ninjas is just to avoid being too late to respond when things happen suddenly..."
"I am also moved by the dedication of each family. The village will not let everyone suffer..."
"As for the financial situation of the village, please rest assured. Currently, the village's funds are relatively tight just because of the war, but the financial fundamentals are still very good; after the war is over, there will definitely be a large amount of funds to pay everyone in full...
And as long as we defeat Kirigakure, we can still get war compensation from Kirigakure..."
Suppressing the anger in his heart, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen explained patiently.
It's just that the fire in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.
As a Hokage, when had he ever been so humble?
The Uzumaki clan is an ally of Konoha, and their failure to rescue them led to the destruction of their country and the death of their families, so it's okay to have some tempers. After all, Konoha did not do much right in the battle to rescue the country of Uzumaki.
Although the Uchiha clan is a traditional thorn-head, the family is powerful, and the number of ninja troops exceeds all the Konoha clans. It has the potential to overthrow Konoha, so it is reasonable to deal with it softly.
Hatake Sakumo is powerful and has the Uchiha clan as his back-up, so he has to be polite. The leaders of the little ninja clan never take him seriously.
But there is no way. It is a fact that the village is in financial difficulty, and it is also a fact that it faces challenges on multiple fronts.
The delaying strategy with Kirigakure was jointly resisted by Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Tokumitsu and the Uzumaki clan, and failed before it even started.
Now, if we want to leave a standing ninja force to support Sarutobi Shinnosuke who is defending Kumogakure in the north, and at the same time deploy personnel to deploy defenses in the eastern region, we must take people from the pockets of these ninjas.
"Then, let me ask you, Hokage-sama, is it okay to add an additional 30% for recruitment and replenishment?"
The leader of the ninja clan who was elected to speak on behalf of the group said again.
"...Add another 20% at most!"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen said fiercely.
He almost broke his guard!
The purpose of saying so many high-spirited words is to influence the hearts of these people who are blackened by profit, but in the end, the Ninja clan still asks for more money?
This is no longer as simple as profit-driven, it is almost lawless without Hokage!
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the unknown ninja leader who was pushed out to speak, and he had already planned in his mind the place and method of his death.
"If it's 20%, it's not impossible..."
To be continued...
