Chapter 39: Strange B-Class Mission
The three generations will never let the future of these villages be in danger, and if there is an accident, the loss of Konoha will be great. But as soon as the words came out, as the shadow of a village, he was not embarrassed to change his words immediately, so he vaguely glanced at Qiu Dao.
As a friend for many years, he immediately understood it, and opened his mouth to relieve the siege for the three generations: "Don't be willful, although your strength is good, but you have no experience in high-level tasks, and it is easy to have an accident if you take on B-level tasks!" Besides, my position as a guide to the upper ninja is not so easy to do! I think I'm going to let Mike Day join our squad, and he's going to have a hard time finding the right teammates for a while anyway. What does Hokage-sama think?"
The third generation immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and nodded: "Since this is the opinion of taking the wind and shangnin, and everyone agrees, then let Mike Dai join your team!" ”
"What, I thought I could become a middle ninja this time! How did the old man become so talkative?" Shinnosuke grumbled with a look of disappointment.
Hikari said with a smile on his face, "It's a good thing to have new teammates join anyway. And now that we can take on B-rank missions, I believe we will soon be able to become a middle ninja! ”
"Hokage-sama is really reasonable! I'm a companion from today onwards! Of course, you are also my disciple. Rope Tree smiled at Mike Day.
"Welcome aboard! Wear. ”
"Welcome, welcome! Am I an uncle?"
Hikari and Shinnosuke welcome Dai on board, and they appreciate his efforts.
"You think beautifully! Although my teacher Dai, it doesn't mean that he is a generation lower than you, but he became the predecessor of the lower ninja before you, so let's talk about it. Rope quipped Shinnosuke.
"Thank you...... Thank you for your trust, or Rope Tree Sensei! I will definitely release my youth and work harder! Mike Day announced with tears in his eyes.
"I'm optimistic about you!" Rope Tree shrugged.
"Why do you cry at every turn, and you are so ashamed to speak!"
"This is youth. Youth is always full of tears and shyness! ”
"What kind of youth are you? And what's going on with this dress?"
"This is my specially designed tights, which are not only sweat-absorbent and breathable, but also very elastic and can do any movement, and I also deliberately dyed it green to represent Konoha and youth! Do you like it too, or I'll give you a set! ”
"Don't! It's ugly! ”
……
Watching Shinnosuke's interaction with Dai, everyone smiled, it looks like they should be in good tune?
"Alright, now that the team has been re-established, it's time for us to take on the mission." Rope Tree turned to the third generation and said, "Hokage-sama, since there is a shortage of manpower, I think there should be a B-rank mission in the village now, right?"
"Can you not? Otherwise, with your kid's personality, you will definitely find a way to take on A-level or S-class tasks, right?" The third generation said angrily.
However, Rope Tree smiled and looked noncommittal.
The third generation could not only take out a stack of B-class task lists and said: "Although the B-class mission is a personal request, it will definitely encounter hostile ninjas, you must be careful." Well, it's all here, take your pick. ”
Rope Tree took over the task list and looked through it, and found that most of them were protection missions issued by wealthy businessmen, and their deadlines were very long, and most of them needed to go abroad. But when he turned to the back, there were more than a dozen special task lists that caught his attention, "How can there be so many domestic crusade and rescue missions?" And the hostile forces are labeled bandits and bandits? Shouldn't these be the duties of the daimyo's samurai army? Even if it requires the ninja in the village to take action, it should be an A-rank mission issued by the state, right? Why is a B-level assignment applied for by an individual? The people have been plundered by bandits, but they need to pay their own money to ask the ninjas to rescue them? How could the Fire Nation be in such a mess?"
The three generations sighed when they heard this, took a deep look at the rope tree and said, "Speaking of which, this matter also has a certain relationship with the village!" ”
Rope tree raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Could it be that these bandits are the traitors of our village? If that's the case, it should have been wiped out by the shadows a long time ago, right?"
The third generation shook his head and said, "Although it is true that there are a large number of rebels among these bandits and bandits, I am not referring to these. Ever since the various families in the village formed the Konoha Foundation to trade with various countries. Big conglomerates and big businessmen in various countries have been affected to a certain extent. And our Fire Country is in the center of the ninja world, so behind these bandits and bandits are connected with major merchants and big conglomerates. ”
Rope Tree nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand!" These bandits were originally thugs kept in captivity by major merchant groups and rich tycoons, and in addition to ensuring the safety of their own trade, they would also rob other caravans, and fight those small merchants to prevent them from becoming bigger, so as to reduce their competitors! "It's easy to understand that only a monopoly can bring huge profit differentials.
The third generation nodded and said: "Yes, these have formed unspoken rules, and small caravans that have not formed private armed forces can only spend money to hire ninjas from various villages to escort them, but they can't be determined in advance whether there are ninjas among the enemies, so they are all counted as B-level missions, which will increase the cost, resulting in meager profits and difficult to develop and grow." There are many small merchants who choose to take risks and do not hire ninja escorts, except for a few lucky ones, most of whom will be robbed. However, since the Thousand Hands began to trade across borders two years ago, these bandits and bandits did not dare to stop them because of the prestige of the Thousand Hands, so the major consortia have lost some of their interests. A year ago, the various families in the village formed the Konoha Consortium and integrated many small merchants, and these bandits and bandits were even more afraid to take action, and the consortia and big merchants of various countries also suffered greater losses as a result. But now that the ninja villages of all countries are trading directly with Konoha and will not accept the entrusted task of attacking the Konoha caravan, ......"
Rope Tree said with a funny face: "So now these bandits and bandits in the Fire Nation have neither small caravans to rob nor raise the cost of small merchants to suppress their competitors. Because Konoha has now set the escort mission of the caravan in the village as C-level, various small merchants have joined Konoha and registered as villagers.
In this way, instead of having the slightest effect, these bandits, bandits, and traitors need to spend a lot of money to feed.
In this way, these bandits, bandits, and traitors should have been given up by the big businessmen behind them? That's why they're going to start targeting the civilians of the Fire Nation?
It's just that even this still doesn't make sense, since they began to endanger civilians after losing the support of major merchants and consortia, the daimyo should send a samurai regiment to encircle and suppress it, even if it is not those rebellious opponents, it should also issue an A-level crusade mission to the village in the name of the country! Why did the daimyo ignore it, and instead these victimized civilians pooled money together to issue B-class missions in their own names?"
