Chapter 52: Enthusiasm and Calmness Together
"In the current village, the team leaders of various families and non-families only need to obey the unified dispatch of the village in wartime, but in peacetime, they do their own thing, receiving tasks from the village's task issuing office, and are responsible for their own profits and losses.
"And the so-called professional military system, in which the association is responsible for the management of all funds, and the allowance is paid on time according to the position and contribution of each person, you can understand the association as a newly formed family, but unlike the individual families, the association does not use a commission from the remuneration of the members, but requires the members to hand over all their income - the association is under the unified management.
"Of course, the professional military I am talking about is not only that, the specific rules and regulations, such as the establishment of positions, military reform, contribution algorithms, etc., are all in the information in your hands, but in essence, as I just said, the remuneration you get from the task will no longer belong to you.
"I'm done with my statement, and I invite you to give your opinions."
As Watergate calmly brought the plan for the restructuring of the association one by one, the conference room gradually fell into silence.
When it comes to self-interest, even the dullest of people can become extraordinarily sensitive, not to mention that Watergate's proposal is the lifeblood of every ninja - mission rewards?
In the words of sincerity, it is "ruining people's financial resources like killing their parents", and it is not incomprehensible that in the face of such a big change in interests, the members of the association fell silent.
In this sudden silence, Genma stood up, faced everyone's eyes, smiled, closed the information document in his hand that had only turned two or three pages, and said loudly: "In short, the combat effectiveness of the association will become stronger, right?" Since you said so, of course I'll follow you. ”
Without hesitation and without thinking, the trust and straightforwardness contained in it infected a large number of people, and they also stood up, closed the information in their hands, and replied one after another:
"Yes, I believe in Watergate."
"Since Watergate said so, I have no opinion."
"Watergate, we'll all listen to you."
"It's all your life, what's the task reward......
……
About two-thirds of the audience stood up, but nearly a third were still seated. The people who were still sitting looked coldly at the warm atmosphere among the ninjas who stood up, completely unmoved by their emotions.
The so-called "herd effect" is not visible in the slightest among ninjas whose will and perseverance far surpass ordinary people, and they only recognize what they have confirmed with their own will and thinking, even these ninjas who seem to be reckless and stand up from the herd.
It's just that compared to the "professional military system" proposed by Watergate, the ninjas who stood up without much thought identified with Watergate itself.
"Mizumon," carefully reading the information in his hand, Yamanaka Mijuro asked calmly, "This 'professional military system' seems to be very similar to the current system of the dark department?" ”
"Yes," although it seemed that a third of the members of the association did not approve of his proposal, Mizumon still replied gently, "When designing this system, I referred to the system of the Shadow Division, including the distribution of duties, allowances, etc., after the continuous improvement of the two Hokage-sama of the second and third generations, the system of the Shadow Department is very close to the perfection that can be achieved at present, but due to the nature of the Shadow Division, it needs to take too much into account the guards of the village itself and the confidential tasks that must be carried out in the dark, So in terms of the interests of members, there are still many shortcomings. ”
"Like the Shadow Ministry, unconditionally perform the tasks of the top and receive a stipend on time? I understand. Yujuro, who had been sitting under Genma's dissatisfied eyes and thinking calmly, also stood up: "If that's the case, Mizumon, I agree with you. ”
Seeing that he finally agreed, Genma glared at him again, and then turned his gaze angrily.
Konoha and the ninja villages of other big countries have always had two systems, one is that during the war, all ninjas obey the unified command of the shadow, although the command order of the shadow is still issued in the form of a "mission", but this kind of task is generally unconditional, unpaid and must be carried out, this is due to the fact that the war is related to the life and death of the village as a whole, and the issuer of the war mission is the village itself.
In wartime, the village was nominally entrusted by the state and received a large remuneration from the state and the daimyō, but in reality, the remuneration for war tasks was always exclusively and uniformly controlled by the village, and only after the war was confirmed that the benefits of the war were distributed according to the merits of the war, and the village itself still had to occupy a large part of the distribution of war dividends for the construction and development of the village.
The other is that in non-war times, the village acts as a bridge between the task client and the ninjas, and relies on the gratuity of the task to maintain its operation, of course, at this time, there is still a strict subordinate relationship between the village and the ninja, which is manifested in the fact that the power to issue the task is in the hands of the village, and the ninja only has a small amount of freedom to choose tasks.
In this non-war period, for the needs of the village itself, there are still some ninjas who want to maintain the wartime system, and must obey the dispatch of the village and carry out the tasks issued by the village.
These ninjas, who maintained the wartime system in non-war times, were called "Assassination Tactical Special Forces", or simply "Shadow Division".
Compared to ordinary ninja squads, their system is stricter, their combat is more efficient, and the sacrifices they pay for this are more tragic, and these characteristics are taken one step further, which is the "root" of Danzo.
In order to maintain the daily life of the shadows, the village would pay a regular allowance - honestly called [salary], but for the members of the root who had taken the wartime system to the extreme, there was not necessarily such a thing as a salary.
In short, for the Konoha ninjas present, the system of the dark department was familiar, and Yamanaka Mijuro used it as a comparison, not so much a question, but a supplement and vivid argument to the opinion of the water gate.
After listening to Mijuro's words, the ninjas who were still carefully reading the information in their hands also stood up one by one, and in the end, the number of people who stood up was - all of them.
Makoto and Mizuto glanced at each other, seeing the same joy in each other's eyes.
All the ninjas in the guild stood together, and it was clear from their eyes that they all agreed with the implementation of this system.
Even in the most wealthy families, such as the Uchiha, it is even more difficult to implement such a system that touches the interests of most ninjas.
However, the [Ninjutsu Innovation Association] itself is probably the most progressive and united organization in the ninja world to date.
As Watergate said before, the association can be regarded as a family with a new system, the only difference is that what connects these young ninjas is not a common, ancient bloodline, but a common, scorching bright ideal that allows them to trust each other in life and death.
Not only is it like a ninja who doesn't know it, but it's also a ninja with enthusiasm in his chest, and so is a young ninja like Yamanaka Mijuro who is naturally calm and full of questioning spirits, Makoto's gaze narrowed from Mijuro's condensed and determined eyes, and he thought silently in his heart.
