Chapter 31: Konoha with Wealth
"How is Yushinobi doing?"
Shuo Mao sat in the tent, took the hot towel and wiped his face before he came back from outside.
Hanzo's guy was really treacherous, this time he caught the guy for half a month, only to catch his tracks, and fought in a valley in the country of rain, slicing Hanzo's three guards on the spot, forcing Hanzo to retreat to Yuyin Village.
"Yu Ninja's offensive has been reduced a lot recently, and many strongholds have been abandoned and retreated, we have taken the entire southeast of the Rain Country, and now we are investigating whether there are any shadows in the territory of Yu Ninja." The ninja with the pineapple head at the bottom of the seat stood up and replied that the Nara clan was the most qualified assistant, and if it weren't for that, Shuo Shige wouldn't dare leave the camp to track down Hanzo.
"But, Lord Shuomao, what are we going to do with the land of the Land of Rain? It is rainy all year round, it is not suitable for farming, and the minerals in the territory are poor, so it is really unprofitable. Nara Shikayuki couldn't help but hold back the doubts in his heart for a long time.
The people of the Nara clan have a high IQ, but if they don't have enough information, they can't deduce any information out of nothing.
"You say this, one is to show Hanzo the color, and now this rain country is not only us and the rain ninja, I don't know how many shadows lurk, fish and dragons, just take this opportunity to light up the muscles, to be honest, this land daimyo is not interested at all, now it is just the people of the country of grace, in the future, there will be no chance to divide the country of rain, so that it will be divided internally, and eliminate such a hidden danger as rain ninja, of course, this matter is just a draft, and it can't be done really."
Shuo Mao had already drunk most of the bowl of hot soup while he was talking, dispelling the cold and damp water vapor on his body.
"It doesn't matter whether it ends up being successful or not, it's just a waste of food, and it's nothing."
This is really a lot of money.
In addition to self-sufficiency, there is also a large amount of grain hoarded in the treasury to exchange for minerals from the land and thunder, and rare herbs from the country of wind.
However, in order to curb the power of the countries, the export of grain has always been carried out in small quantities, anyway, even if there is no minerals from the country of earth and the country of thunder, there is also a country of rivers on the left and right, and there are many mineral resources in its territory, but without the grain of the country of fire, the population of the country of earth and the country of thunder will inevitably decline, no way, you can't feed so many people!
This is also one of the reasons to start the ninja war, to reduce the population and reduce consumption.
In fact, just by looking at the appearance of the five major ninja villages, it is enough to distinguish the superior, whether it is cloud ninja, rock ninja, fog ninja or sand ninja, their ninja villages are all built neatly, and they are more than several times neater than the chaotic buildings of Konoha.
However, this is exactly the hardship of the four ninja villages, this is the planning and building of the village at the beginning, decades have passed, and they are still the same, they can only be said to be poor, there is no money to rebuild the house, where is it like Konoha, expand today, rebuild tomorrow, the whole village is under construction all year round, and if you don't see it for half a year, Konoha can change your tricks, and being rich is so capricious.
Nara Luxing nodded, but his mind turned quickly, if he managed it well, maybe he could really divide the country of rain, and secretly hid this thought in the bottom of his heart, and then said: "There is one more thing, a new batch of supplies in the village has been on the road, calculate the time, it should be about to enter the country of rain." ”
"Send someone to pick it up, lest any long-eyed goods jump out and make trouble." Shuo Mao raised his eyebrows, murderous and awe-inspiring.
Every time supplies are transported, there are always messy things rushing out to make trouble, bandits, spies of Yunin, and even some guys with the flag of Yunin, will take the opportunity to make trouble and kill batch after batch, but there are always people who come to die.
"Actually, don't worry, it's the three disciples of Hokage-sama who are escorting the supplies this time." Lu Xing shook his head, but changed his words in an instant, "But there is actually a group of ninja school students among them, and they really use the country of rain as a training ground." ”
Lu Xing laughed as he spoke.
This trend of thought is extremely common, Konoha is in an overwhelming advantage in the war against the rain ninja, the strength level of the two sides is not at the same level at all, properly hanging this group of 'fish belly', if it is not Hanzo is really powerful, even Shuo Mao can only repel him, and it is difficult to strangle, why should this war be delayed for half a year.
If it was said that at the beginning, it was with the idea of defeating the rain ninja and ending the war quickly, but as time went by, a large number of middle and lower ninjas were found to be negligent in the war, so they came up with the idea of training with the hands of the rain ninja, after all, the surrounding countries were not at peace, and there were a large number of espionage activities in the land of rain, thunder, earth, and wind, and constantly spying on the strength of Konoha , which made people have to think deeply about the intentions.
It is important to prepare well in advance to prevent contingencies.
"Ninja School students?" Shuo Mao couldn't help laughing, but the smile quickly solidified at the corner of his lips, and a thought suddenly floated in his heart.
"Is there a list? Show me. Shuo Mao reached out and asked for the list.
Lu Xing hurriedly pulled out a stack of rosters from the copywriting on the table, he didn't notice the change in Shuo Mao, thinking that it was just his whim to see what the situation of these students was, didn't he also go through and study it several times a few days ago, and there was also a little nephew of his on it.
Carefully flipped through this stack of not thick lists, Rao is not thick, there are a total of 126 people on the register, a total of forty-two improvised student teams.
The sliding fingers slammed on the ground, and the name of the whirlpool moon was just under the fingertips, Shuo Mao lightly tapped the roster, shook his head and laughed, his premonition came true.
I haven't seen this disciple for half a year, and this time it happened to be sent to his hands, but I can take a good look at his level, and I don't know how much I have grown after half a year's effort.
"I'll personally lead the team to pick up these little guys." Sakumo tossed the roster back on the table.
"Huh?"
Lu Xing's eyes widened in surprise, looking at Shuo Mao, he didn't know which nerve he had touched this commander, and personally led the team to pick up these little guys, this is a bit of a cow cooking chicken, right?
"These little guys are the seeds of the future of the village, I will take care of them, so as not to be taken advantage of, although the three of them are good, they are still a little tender." Shuo Mao opened his mouth domineeringly, but he was also qualified to say this, and now Konoha was no match for White Fang, except for the Hokage of Sarutobi.
Even if Hokage-sama is known as a ninja, to be honest, many low-level ninjas think that he and Shuo Mao are only between five and five, and among the high-level, there is no shortage of such arguments.
It's just that Konoha White Fang has always been fierce and abnormal to the outside, but he is gentle and tight to his own village, and he has to feel the two-sided nature of people who have been in contact with him.
Lu Xing listened to Shuo Mao's reason, immediately nodded, and no longer refutated, simply Hanzo had been forced to retract to Yuyin Village, there would be no major war in a short time, Shuo Mao stayed in the camp and had nothing to do, although he was the nominal supreme commander, but he was dealing with big and small things, which was completely a symbol.
Of course, this does not mean that without Shuo Mao, there will be no impact, it is precisely because of the symbol of Shuo Mao that these nearly 10,000 ninjas can be integrated, and only Shuo Mao can convince those rebellious leaders.
