Chapter 61: The Temptation to Build a Ninja Village
Although the country is large, there is not much land suitable for cultivation in the country, and there are no good minerals in the country, so the economy is not developed.
Therefore, although it seems that the country is far more powerful than the country of Rain from the map, the top management of Kawanokuni has been quite unconfident when it comes to diplomacy with the country of rain in the past.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Land of Fire and the Country of Wind were eyeing each other and objectively protecting the country of Sichuan, I'm afraid that the country of rain would have thought about raising troops to the south and annexing the country of Sichuan.
And in the upper echelons of the country of Kawa recently, the hottest topic is undoubtedly the mysterious ninja family that has just arrived.
Yes, there are not many high-level officials in the country of Kawanoku who know the true identity of the Ghost Lantern clan now. In the case of the Ghost Lantern Clan, if the news of the stationing in the country of Kawanoku was widely disseminated, I am afraid that the Konoha ninjas and sand ninjas on the side would have already come over and asked to "exchange" information about the land of water.
On the contrary, when the Ghost Lantern Clan gains a firm foothold in the country of Kawanokuni and closely integrates with the local forces of the country of Kawanoko, the possibility of this will be greatly reduced.
Of course, at that time, the Ghost Lantern clan also needed to pay something in exchange, but there will always be room for bargaining at that time, and it will not be overturned overnight.
A hidden ninja family, powerful and numerous, with a good relationship with the Daimyo. These are the impressions that most of the people of the country of Kawanoku who know about this matter have of the Ghost Lantern Clan.
There is no other country in the country, and the only thing that is abundant is the endless primeval forest, and the towering giant trees abound.
As you can imagine, such an environment can be said to be the favorite work scene of intelligence ninjas. Although the action is a little more troublesome, the secrecy is high enough, and the room for advance and retreat is also greater.
In a small clearing in the forest, Shui Wuyue Ryohei stood here, looking at the person in front of him with his hands in his hands, his face was indifferent, and he said: "Your Excellency, the skill of that ghost lamp Yingshu has also been heard of below. Now that many of the nobles are dissatisfied with him, you still have a chance to pull him off the horse. But after a while, when he appeases most of the nobles, your situation will not be good. ”
Hearing Shui Wuyue Liangping's words, he didn't make any intentional looks, but said: "Speaking of which, our clan and the nobles are enemies of life and death. Your words are hard to believe. ”
As his words fell, the smile that had been on Shui Wuyueliang's plane began to fade from his face little by little, and there seemed to be a few more reflections on the surrounding tree trunks, and the atmosphere began to slowly become depressed, as if the air here was suddenly slowly withdrawn.
But the man's face was still a lot, I don't know whether to say it was indifferent or Mu Ran's good expression, looking at Shui Wuyue Ryohei in front of him, he didn't say a word, and he didn't pay any attention to the murderous aura of the Shui Wuyue ninjas around him.
Suddenly, the smile on Shui Wuyue Ryohei's face was hung again, and the murderous aura around him was hidden again.
Shui Wuyue Ryohei opened his mouth and said, "Before I set off here, the patriarch of my clan once warned me and asked me to bring it to you. ”
Without waiting for the man to answer, Shui Wuyue Ryohei continued: "The patriarch of my clan said that now that the nobles have chosen to leave the land of water and go to the mainland, there is no fundamental conflict of interest with my Shui Wuyue clan. And since my Shui Wuyue clan has lived with the nobles for many years, they naturally don't want to see the nobles fall apart. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, the patriarch of our clan decided to help the nobles and help the nobles build a powerful ninja village. ”
"Huh?"
These words clearly aroused the interest of the person opposite.
Naturally, he wouldn't believe the Shui Wuyue clan's claim that he wanted to help the Ghost Lantern clan because of the "friendship" between the two sides, which was pure nonsense for him. He was interested in what the people of the Water Moon Clan on the other side had just said about helping the Ghost Lantern Clan re-establish a ninja village.
You know, the Ghost Lantern Clan being able to gain a foothold here is completely different from re-establishing a ninja village.
A ninja clan that wants to gain a foothold in a certain place basically only needs to be approved by the local lord. After all, except for a very small number of large wealthy families in the ninja world, most of the ninja families are not too many, even if the ninja consumes materials exaggeratedly, but as long as the local lords are strong enough, they can still afford to support.
It's just that the ninja family that adheres to such a code of conduct is essentially just a group of high-level mercenaries. You can pass it on to your family, but don't think about how you can grow and grow.
Because they relied on blood transfusions from daimyo or lords for everything, they did not have the ability to open up a large source of money on their own, and they were logistically stuck, so they naturally could only obediently obey in most cases.
But Ninja Village is different from this form of organization.
In nature, Ninja Village is a country's standing military institution, which is not much worse than the country's political department in terms of hierarchy, and can always receive financial support from the state.
After all, there is still a layer between the state and the daimyos, and judging from the status of the daimyo in this world, the daimyo cannot completely decide the financial expenditure according to their own wishes.
Since no one has complete control over a country's financial expenditures, it is enough for ninjas to completely get out of the situation of becoming the private soldiers of a certain daimyo or a powerful lord.
In terms of organizational form, after a period of time, ninja villages are mostly able to establish their own mission sending and receiving system, and have their own stable source of income in addition to the financial support of the state. At the same time, it can also absorb a large number of orphans into the ninja village, and continue to provide new blood for the development of the village.
Although this often leads to antagonism between clan ninjas and commoner-born ninjas in the village, it will at least wait until the first batch of civilian ninjas grow up, which is not a problem at all for the current Oni Lantern clan.
Of course, although the establishment of a ninja village is very beneficial, it is not an easy thing to do if you actually take action.
A ninja village is a large city in terms of geography, and in terms of organization, it is a huge military group.
In the process of its establishment, it naturally needs a variety of talents to support. The site selection, planning, design, and construction of the city, the institutional construction of the ninja village, the relationship with the central government and the local garrisons, and the planning for the future development of the village are all kinds of things that cannot be solved by fighting ninjas alone.
