Chapter 202: Resource Crisis

"Bang!"

The hand slapped heavily on the table, the teacup paper and pen jumped wildly, and then looked at the tabletop was a mess, and fresh wooden ballast was exposed in many places. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's so damning! It's the sixth time! Who the hell is the enemy?! What are they going to do?!"

Tsunade angrily smashed his desk, angrily staring at the person in front of him and asking him to give him an explanation. And Tenzo, who was kneeling opposite Tsunade, looked unfazed, as if the sawdust that had just hit his mask did not exist.

"Hokage-sama, it's better for you to be restless. We don't want anything like this to happen, and the top priority is to find out who is targeting us. The opponent can cleanly kill a team of dark parts, which shows that this is definitely not an ordinary enemy. ”

At this time, Kakashi, who had been standing behind Tenzo, spoke out to dissuade him, hoping that Tsunade would calm down. But the current Tsunade is clearly not something that Kakashi can calm down with a few words.

"I don't want to hear that, I just want to know if you can get this matter done to me in a few days!"

"This ......"

Hearing Tsunade say this, Tenzo shrugged his shoulders slightly, although he was wearing a mask, he could guess that his face was not very good, and turned back to make eye contact with Kakashi, who shook his head and motioned for him not to speak.

"My lord, we really can't guarantee that. You also saw in the report that the enemy is definitely not an ordinary ninja, and it is definitely not a small force, so even if we act now, we can only stay in the investigation stage, not to mention that the location of the accident is a sensitive and complex area, and it can really be said that there are thousands of things to investigate......"

"Bang!"

Tsunade slapped the table again, turning the original crumbling into a mess.

"No excuses! I don't believe it's almost clear to spread all the shadows!

Kakashi hurriedly stopped over there, and although he knew that Tsunade was probably angry when he said this, he couldn't let Tsunade get angry like that anymore.

"My lord, I'm afraid you can't put your ideas into practice. After a meeting like that half a month ago, the morale of the people in the village is now fluctuating, and there can't be too many big moves in the shadows. In order to prevent some people from taking advantage of the situation, you must be calm. ”

“......”

Hearing Kakashi say this, Tsunade finally regained some composure, and she realized that it was really not advisable to be impulsive like the way it was in the village. It took a long time for Tsunade to calm down and ask Kakashi in a deep voice.

"So what do you say? We can't afford not to react to something like this. ”

Asked by Tsunade like this, Kakashi didn't answer immediately, but narrowed his eyes and said something inscrutablely.

"The village's trade routes have been disrupted, and the supply of important materials has dropped, who do you think should be the most anxious in the village right now?"

"Oh?"

Tsunade also showed a look of sudden realization at this time, and then a smile finally appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"yes, I think someone should be in a hurry to burn their eyebrows now. ”

......

On Hokage Mountain, the headquarters of the Shinobi Department.

"The reserves of refined iron are enough to support two months; The inventory of quilts and clothes is only enough for one month, and the quilts for the change of seasons have not yet arrived; Food can only support another half a month; As for the pyroxene mines and white fern, they were all gone. ”

After stating the contents of the report, the wind gently closed the notebook in his hand and looked at Qingyang helplessly.

"That's our logistical situation right now, and the shortage of supplies is now starting to affect our daily training. Sogo has come to me several times, but I can't help it, now it's not just us, all departments in the village are in a difficult situation, the prices of these important materials on the market are skyrocketing and there is still no market. ”

Listening to the wind complaining to herself, Qingyang pondered for a while before speaking again.

"Isn't there any explanation from the Ministry of Administration and the Ministry of Finance for this?"

The wind helplessly spread his hands.

"I've been to both places myself, but I haven't gotten any useful answers, and I heard from Ebisu of the Administration Department that it seems that there are some problems with the trade routes at the border, and Hokage-sama has already begun to deal with the matter. ”

Qingyang was still frowning, it was not that he couldn't believe the words of the administration department, but his intuition told him that this matter would definitely not be so simple.

"It's not easy for the five generations, during this time, the village has been noisy about the decentralization of military power, and now there is such a thing, presumably the five generations are already in a hurry at this time. ”

Tempest agrees with Qingyang's opinion, the interface said.

"That's right, and more importantly, the supply of supplies must be restored as soon as possible. Unlike those deep-rooted family departments in the village, we do not have a deep foundation, and we are not good enough in terms of strategic material reserves, and if we continue to drag on like this, we will be dragged down sooner or later. ”

"That makes sense, it looks like I'm going to meet the five generations in person. ”

As he spoke, Qingyang put away the things on the table, put them back in the drawer, and prepared to go out, but when Qingyang's front feet just crossed the threshold, they retracted.

"Wait......"

"What's wrong, is there any more questions?"

Tempest asked behind him, a little surprised.

"Pyroxene Ore, White Fern, if I'm not mistaken, the best source of these two resources is Wang Zhiguo, right?"

"Well, yes. ”

Tempest paused, then explained.

"Wang Zhiguo is the most important resource exporter of pyroxene and white fern in the northwest of the mainland, and in fact, this resource crisis is precisely because of the problem of the trade route between us and Wang Zhiguo. ”

"Huh?!"

Qingyang raised her eyebrows when she heard the wind say this, changed her previous idea of going out, and sat back in her place.

"Flash, tell me all the details you know, and explain why no one has reported to me about such a major event as the destruction of the trade routes. ”

Speaking of this, Qingyang's face has already brought out a bit of anger, the shortage of resources in the village has definitely not been formed overnight, which means that Konoha's trade route has long been problematic, but the wind only talked to him about it today, which is a very serious dereliction of duty.

"This ・・・・・・"

Moonlight Wind was speechless for a while, and he also felt Qingyang's anger, and hurriedly explained.

"I'm very sorry, this is my dereliction of duty! The trade route in the direction of Wang Zhiguo has always been handled by the dark department, and I only recently learned the specific situation. ”

"The Shadows?"

Qingyang's tone hesitated a little.

"Hasn't all the trade route management and protection work in the village begun to be handed over to us from the dark department after the forbearance department was officially listed?"

Tempest shook his head with a wry smile.

"How can it be so easy, after all, the dark department has been operating for so long, how can it be willing to hand it over like this. At present, only the short-distance trade routes within our garrison area have been successfully handed over, and those very important long-distance between countries are still in the hands of the dark department, and I don't know how long it will take to completely take over. And to be honest, if we really take it all, we will be blind immediately, and there are not enough manpower to maintain it. ”

Qingyang nodded in distress, he also knew that the words of the wind were very reasonable. Thinking of this, his anger also disappeared, but he began to habitually rub his eyebrows again. Since he was in charge of the Ministry of Patience, Qingyang's frowning times have to catch up with the number of frowns he has frowned on for more than ten years before, and it is not ordinary labor and effort to put hundreds of people at the helm, and what is worse is that these hundreds of people have to spread out in a big village like Konoha, and there will be a shortage of manpower at any time.

"Forget it, I can't think of any good way to think about it in a short time, I'd better go directly to Wudai and talk to her openly, I always feel that a conspiracy is revolving around Konoha again, and I can't just be passive!"
