Chapter 700: Ninja
After all, who doesn't love power?
After all, why can Mamoru Kageyama run for office to become Prime Minister, but they can't?
Seeing Mamoru Kageyama take control of the country's administrative power through public opinion campaigns and reach a position of power that only daimyo could achieve, how can this heart not be itchy?
After all, they are all parliamentarians.
The constitution stipulates that everyone is eligible to run.
Constitution......
The power of these two words not only shocked the hearts of the people of the Fire Country, but also shocked the hearts of many Konoha ninjas, and Nara Shikaku was one of them who was most touched.
Hokage-sama, this time it's for real......
Witnessing Lei Luo skip Maeda Takashi, skip the group of capitalists, skip Chida Yu, skip the most powerful aristocratic bureaucrats in the Fire Country, and even skip the extremely ugly face of Mitsue Daimyo and walk up to the little-known man to shake his hand......
The flame of desire unconsciously burst out in the bottom of my heart, and at this moment, after getting Lei Luo's clear promise, it completely boiled.
The day passed, the night came, and after these long hours of thinking, Lu Jiu came to the conclusion that instead of continuing to focus on the family and the village, it was better to simply play a big game.
At present, it seems that the prime minister and the prime minister are almost on the same level, the difference is only that one is in charge of the specific and the other is in charge of the direction, but they are both greater than the Hokage and Konoha, larger than all officials, and are only responsible to the members of the Diet and to the Constitution.
This kind of power, this kind of status and prestige, even if it is only five years, it is definitely worth this life, and it is not cool to be the Hokage.
Not to mention, after the unification of the world......
"Lu Jiu, are you interested in becoming the next prime minister?"
The question in his ears made Lu Jiu suddenly wake up from his immersion, he looked at Lei Luo's side face that seemed to be smiling, and said with some curtle:
"Hokage-sama, I'm smiling at you."
As he spoke, Lu Jiu shook his head with a wry smile, and then sighed:
"How difficult is it to gain the support of the people? I'm not an official, and I don't bring benefits to the people like businessmen, I'm just a ninja......"
As Lu Jiu spoke, Lei Luo's fingers tapped lightly on the table, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "In other words, you really want to be the prime minister?" ”
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, Lu hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded with difficulty, and then didn't speak, just looked at Lei Luo fixedly.
It seems that he didn't expect Shikaku's ambition to be so big, and in connection with the previous series of questions and answers, this is simply wanting to command himself as a Konoha ninja in the future......
The thoughts in his mind fluctuated, Lei Luo pondered for a long time, and suddenly showed a smile, he raised his head, looked at Lu Jiu, and did not comment on the ambition of this Nara patriarch, but gave his own opinions very bluntly:
"Lu Jiu, if you want to become the prime minister, you need to be recognized by the people, just responding to the peaceful evolution plan and currying favor with me is useless, this will not allow you to ascend to the sky in one step."
Noticing that Lu Jiu's expression had not changed, but his gaze had dimmed slightly, Lei Luo thought about it carefully, and decided to give this young man with a high IQ a chance:
"In the first Diet, I didn't allow the Konoha ninjas to participate in the voting stage, because they don't know enough about high-ranking officials and capitalists, and if they mix indiscriminately, it will only make others think that I, the Hokage and Prime Minister, are engaged in insider trading."
"In this way, the authority of the Constitution cannot be established."
"But ......" slightly lengthened his tone, noticing that Lu Jiu's complexion fluctuated slightly, Lei Luo's expression was much more solemn, and his eyes became sharper:
"When did I say that the populace is just a law-abiding civilian class? Do you really think I'm going to keep ninjas out of the national polity forever? ”
"It's not just about you and the seven ninjas of the Secretariat entering the Parliament, it's just that you, from now on, officially represent Konoha and even, in the near future, the ninja community."
"The rights and interests of the ninja need to be realized by you, the demands of the ninja need to be conveyed by you, and the beliefs of the ninja need to be connected by you, and this is the real meaning of me letting you enter the Congress."
"If it's really a word, then it's enough for me to directly support Guanghui as a big name, why do you want to make a parliament that divides my own power? Well? Use your ingenuity and think about it. ”
Lu Jiu frowned and pondered for a long time, and only after a while did he reply hesitantly: "Is it to make the country strong?" For the sake of long-term goals? For the expansion of strategic services? ”
Several questions in a row exposed the confusion in Lu Jiu's heart, looking at the other party's appearance, Lei Luo sighed deeply, and said slowly:
"The most fundamental purpose is to cut off the chains of fate that have been imposed on ninjas for thousands of years, so that ninjas are no longer weapons and tools, but become living beings with all kinds of legitimate powers."
After speaking, regardless of Lu Jiu's face full of surprise and even shocked expression, Lei Luo stood up, his face returned to calm, but his tone was slightly filled with a trace of complicated fluctuations:
"War and killing is the theme song of the ninja world, even I can't avoid it, but what is causing this? Let the ninjas kill each other forever? As if there is no end in sight? ”
"I think it's the system, and it's also the meaning that society gives to the ninja profession."
"Ninjas who completely surpass ordinary people in terms of force, ninjas with various extraordinary abilities, it is natural that they will be envied and rejected by ordinary people, which is unavoidable."
"Therefore, the whole society will spontaneously form an idea of using ninjas as aliens, that is, weapons and tools, which is a trend and the desire of the people, and now it has formed an unbreakable concept."
"There are two ways to break this concept, one is to take advantage of the violent ideological impact brought about by the changes of the times, and the other is to organize ninja representatives to enter the political system and effectively speak out to the whole country and society in order to safeguard the interests of the ninja group."
"Today's ninjas, even if they are not suitable for the right to vote for the time being because they have been separated from the country and society for too long, but in the future, the National Ninja Program will be rolled out and the Konoha Military Region plans to prepare, and this situation will naturally change."
"Ninjas, they should have the power of a citizen, and they must have the power of a citizen, do you understand? Interested in becoming the country's prime minister - Konoha ninja, Nara Shikahisa? ”
"The next congressional election will cover all tax-paying citizens of the Fire Nation, so where do you stand and who are your constituents...... Let's go back and think about it. ”
As Lei Luo's flat tone fell, Lu Jiu was still for a long, long time, and he didn't come back to his senses from the whole set of theories he had just heard, until he saw that the white cloak was about to go away, he suppressed the tremor in his heart and asked the last question loudly:
"Hokage-sama! Please tell me what the ninja will be like in the future. ”
Lei Luo paused slightly, glanced back at the young subordinate who was eager to get an answer, and without hesitation, he directly said his thoughts:
"In my territory, there will be no ninjas in the future, only extremely talented workers, and ...... Soldier. ”
