Chapter II Round tables

"Good morning, everyone. What is this? Sakai, who had just arrived, said with his own food. Sakai's burgundy hair was messed up against his head, squinting at the revolver that Yagamiki was holding.

"It's a weapon made of apricots, I didn't even expect her to do this. Yagami glanced approvingly at the apricot again, and the girl's cheeks turned crimson.

"Oh, it's a new weapon. Hey, Apricots, you're really good. That apricot jam, how did the big knife I asked you to make? Sakai squeezed his eyes, and the flattering look on his face was very obvious.

"You're not in charge of the materials, and you're not in charge of the helpers. It's a beautiful idea to want a good weapon. All this time I was working on a revolver and was not free. Apricot pouted.

"Why? Isn't it like I'm trying to improve my strength? Chief!" Sakai looked at Yagamiki with tears in his eyes.

"I think Sakai is right. The corners of his mouth went up, Yagamiki said. So a smug smile appeared on Kyoko's face.

"Well, well, it seems that there is no hope for the broadsword. Putting breakfast on the table, Sakai said angrily.

"Xiaoqi, the porridge is about to get cold. By Yagamiki's side, Honglian, who had been watching silently, said. So, Yagami Qi picked up his porridge and drank it one by one.

The people at the table chatted softly, which made Yagami think for a moment that he was back in his school days.

"Ladies and gentlemen, come to the conference room at nine o'clock today for a meeting, and all cadres please inform each other and do not be late. As more and more people sat at the round table, Yagamiki said.

Everyone's expressions suddenly became serious, if it wasn't for something big happening, Yagami Qi would not hold a group meeting.

The conference room is a relatively large room, with a large round table in the middle, a beam of light shining in the center of the round table, and lights in the four corners of the room to bring the necessary lighting.

Around the round table, a group of people sat in a circular shape. Yagamiki, Red Ren, Shigego, Tayuya, Shiba Petrel, Sakai, Ran, Suzuki Apricot, Toru Kazama, Sasaki, Oda. There were a total of these people sitting at the round table, plus the departed Yagyu Kazuki, and these twelve people made up the leadership of the organization. So far, there are a total of 618 people in the organization. More than a dozen elderly people who had nothing to rely on, 34 young people who volunteered to stay, and orphans, who accounted for the vast majority.

Of these 618, only 242 have the talent to become ninjas, and only 84 have an ordinary lower ninja level.

Those teenagers who did not become ninja talents were ruthlessly excluded from the ranks of educational investment by Yagamiki. And under the bewitchment of Yagamiki, almost everyone has a dream of becoming a ninja, which is not cruelty, but reality.

Reality is not a fairy tale.

Most of those who were eliminated were relegated to the management of logistics. In fact, Oda among the cadres is the head of general logistics, he does not have a trace of ninja talent, he is already sixty-one years old.

This old man was a small wealthy businessman before his family and everything else were destroyed by the war, and he joined the organization because he couldn't worry about the children he knew.

With the long years came the wisdom that had been deposited with them, and Yagami had relied heavily on him.

Among the cadres, Red Lotus, Shigego, Tayuya, and Zhibo Haiyan do not govern the personnel in the organization, they are only responsible for teaching their own courses, that is, being teachers.

"First of all, let's make a good announcement. Recently, the ninja village will send ninjas to organize the gathering place to teach, and our poor educational resources will be rich. Placing his hands on the table with his fingers interlocked, Yagami said softly.

"Oh, so that the children can receive a good education. In the third position on Yagamiki's left hand, Oda smiled.

The wrinkles on his face were squeezed deeper by the smile.

"No, there are many differences in the way the teaching is done in the Otoshinobi Village from the organization. At first, the children may be uncomfortable. As cadres, you should calm their minds. Yagami said lightly.

"That's not necessarily a good thing. Next to Oda, Sasaki said loudly.

"Yes. But it's a fact that it relieves us of the pressure on education. However, because of the different ways, the children will not be able to stand their ways. They're not good at stubble. Sakai, Tolu, and Blue will take lessons together, so take care to protect your children. If necessary, you can notify Tayuya and let the ninjas know what their role is and what place they are staying. ”

"Yes!" Lan replied loudly when he heard Yagamiki's words. He's always liked this kind of thing. Fighting, fighting, bloodshed. He won't inform Tayuya of them, he'll figure it out himself. If you can't even protect your own companions, then how can you follow in the leader's footsteps?

"Tayuya, Haiyan, Red Lotus. When it comes to that kind of thing, you don't have to keep your hands. Looking around at the people around him, Yagamiki said.

"Don't worry, I'll teach those crumbs a lesson mercilessly. Stroking his flute, the corners of Tayuya's mouth grinned.

"In addition, we have new financial problems. Raising an eyebrow, Yagamiki dropped a bombshell. The people at the round table were stunned for a moment.

"Yes. At Yagamiki's signal, Oda in charge of finance and logistics added. "After Orochimaru-sama returned, the chieftain also lost his position as the head of the ninja village. The resources of the Otoshinobi Village are no longer tilted against us. Even a week ago, Orochimaru-sama eliminated half of the supplies provided to us. ”

"Guys, you've all thought about the consequences of this. Yagami said after Oda finished speaking, "If this continues, the children will have to take on dangerous ninja village missions and risk their lives to complete them in order to earn money." Although the mission is the duty of the ninjas, they are still a little too immature. ”

"Maybe how about our cadres select the ninjas with higher strength, carry out tasks together, and get commissions to relieve the economic pressure on the organization. Kazama said in a loud voice.

Yagamiki immediately dismissed her opinion. "Your strength is still too weak, and even if you do, you will still be unable to make ends meet. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the old man has an opinion. Oda said, "I discussed with the chief a few days ago. Because I knew in advance that Lord Orochimaru was going back to the village. The leader took advantage of his position to intercept a large amount of money from the ninja village. ”

Yagami couldn't help but smile, this was the most beautiful thing Yagami did when he was in charge of Otoshinobi Village. Pretending to be paralyzed, he let go of the Nara family, and at Nara's instigation and proposal, he intercepted a large amount of money on the purchase of weapons in Ninja Village. Moreover, he also accepted bribes from the Nara clan. As for the Nara family becoming bigger, that is the issue that Orochimaru should be concerned about when he returns to the Ninja Village, and it has nothing to do with Yagamiki.

As for corruption, it has nothing to do with Yagamiki, he is Orochimaru's "son". What is there to forgive for your own container?

"Naturally, we can't sit back and eat. Oda continued, "We will use the funds to open snack bars, lumber shops, ninja shops, and other shops in the ninja village to support the organization. ”

Hearing Oda's proposal, Kazama sighed lightly, it turned out that the leader had already thought of a way to deal with it.

The system of Otoshinobu Village is strange, unlike the traditional form of nominal daimyo hiring ninja villages to pay them. Since the daimyo were all controlled by Orochimaru, Otoshinobi Village was a unique form of integration of military and government. This is also the reason why Otoshinobi Village is thriving in the hands of Orochimaru, and it is truly supported by the material resources of a country.

"All the funds will eventually be handed over to Grandpa Oda. Toru Kazama, you will assist Grandpa Oda in managing the property. Apricot, you will be the ninja designer of the ninja shop, give full play to your talents, and design unique ninja tools. However, if the power is huge, it will not be sold and circulated. ”

"The final meeting was about the weapon that Apricot designed, so let's take a look at this. Yagami said as he placed the revolver on the table, "Kyoko, let's explain the power of this thing." ”

Receiving Yagamiki's cue, Kyoko began her introduction.

"Revolvers. This is the name of this weapon. It has a total of six rounds and can be fired in bursts. The speed of the bullet fired will be many times faster than the kunai shot by Nakashinobi, and it has no weak penetrating power. If you use it properly in battle, you can even pose a threat to the upper ninja level・・・・・"

For his proud work, Apricot spoke for ten minutes.

"Now you know how terrible this little thing is. Yagamiki said, "I would like to add one more thing, after the personnel are replenished enough and the process is gradually improved, it can be mass-produced." ”

With Yagamiki's words, the people who had already been shocked by the terrible weapon once again showed shocked expressions.

"Here, I command you to keep it a secret. Apricots, such weapons can only be studied and improved at the moment, and are not in circulation. Whoever asks for it cannot be given to him. Saying this, Yagamiki glanced at Sakai, who was excited. The latter suddenly wilted like a frosted eggplant.

"Got it. Apricot replied with a smile.

"There is one more thing, I am going to travel out of the village, and the affairs of the organization will be handed over to Honglian. At the end of the meeting, Yagami said.

For a moment, Honglian looked sideways at Yagamiki.

"I'm sorry, Red Lotus, next time. I'll take you with me next time. Walking on the trail, the air was slightly cool, Yagamiki sorted out the red scarf around the red lotus with his hands, and said apologetically.
