Chapter 80: Crisis The Prototype of the Fourth Ninja War
"Wow, it's such a blessing to be able to take a sip of hot soup in this rainy weather!"
Phoenix Temple Yuyu took a deep breath, and after drinking a bowl of thick soup, he let out a happy sigh.
At this time, Yuu Yu of Phoenix Temple and others had already braved the rain to come to a border town in the Land of Rain, found a restaurant, and warmed up while drinking steaming thick soup while sheltering from the rain.
"Yes, it tastes good!"
As a ninja, I don't care about the chill in the rain, but it's also very comfortable to be able to drink hot soup in cold weather.
Hinata Hinata put down the soup bowl and raised her head slightly at the same time, curiously looking at the scenery facing the street. Although she is the eldest lady of the Hyuga family, Hinata Hinata has never left the scope of the Fire Country since she was born, so she is very curious about the architectural style of the Rain Country, which is completely different from the Fire Country.
Perhaps because of the rainy weather for many years, most of the buildings in the Land of Rain are high-rise buildings covered with pipes and chimneys, and the outside is tightly sealed, and there are few open-air balconies and windows. Moreover, because Yahiko Konan, who had been in charge of the Rain Country regime for many years, and others vigorously promoted the Industrial Revolution, the entire Rain Country was industrially developed, and there were railways and factories everywhere.
Therefore, although the climate of the Land of Rain is no longer as rainy all year round as before, the architectural style has not changed, but has intensified towards the rough and cold aesthetic perspective of the steel jungle of large industry and big machinery.
Although it is a town on the border of the Land of Rain, it is full of high-rise buildings that are undulating, and unlike the square high-rise buildings of the previous city, the high-rise buildings of the Land of Rain seem to be spliced together by countless pipes and chimneys, which are cold and closed. Perhaps due to the previous habits, the people of the Land of Rain are also accustomed to living on the upper floors of buildings, so between the high-rise buildings, there are a series of skybridges standing in the sky, these overpasses are extremely numerous, from below, almost can block most of the sunlight, plain and white, make the streets on the ground floor a little more gloomy and cold atmosphere.
"However, the Land of Rain is still quite prosperous!"
At this time, although the rain was pouring down, but the street was not lonely, many civilians or merchants with umbrellas and raincoats were coming and going on the street, and those small vendors who relied on the eaves and pergolas did not close their stalls, but still sat and did business in the rain.
As for the restaurants and shops on both sides of the street, they are full of people sheltering from the rain, and just now Yuyu and others from Phoenix Temple have walked into several restaurants one after another, and they are full of customers.
Hinata Hinata couldn't help but be a little surprised when she looked at the country of rain, where the atmosphere and architectural style were diametrically opposed: "I feel like this place is even more lively than the town of our country of fire!" ”
"Hehe, nothing strange!"
Seeing Hinata Hinata's surprised look, Ruri Hachiki couldn't help but smile and explained indifferently: "The reform of the Fire Country is the most thorough among all the countries!" You must know that at that time, the four generations and Makoto Uchiha put forward the concept of the Great Ninjutsu Revolution and the Great Industrial Development, in fact, many of the more radical ideas were not accepted by the ninjas of the Ninjutsu Innovation Federation, so the reforms implemented in Konoha during the reign of the four generations were just improvements after emasculating many radical ideas! For example, when Makoto Uchiha proposed that land was the fundamental issue of the revolution, the Ninjutsu Innovation Federation wanted to truly revolutionize the world, and it must want to carry out an agrarian revolution and take the ownership of the land from the nobility! Although this radical idea did not have a chance to be implemented in the Land of Fire, it was implemented by Yahiko Konan and them in the Land of Rain......"
"Ah, the agrarian revolution? Isn't this TG's revolution......"
Hinata Hinata and Phoenix Temple Yuu couldn't help but be extremely surprised when they heard it, these are things they were very familiar with in their previous lives, but I didn't expect someone to really copy it into this world and implement it!
"Hehe, Xiaonan, they are not just practicing the agrarian revolution! In fact, as long as you walk around the Land of Rain, you will find that many of the policies of this country are actually very similar to the country we were familiar with in our previous lives! Well, it can be said that many of Xiao Nan's governing ideas are plagiarized from TG! For example, the agrarian revolution, such as the people's commune...... Of course, because of the strong productivity of the ninjas, the establishment of a state-owned farm people's commune is superior to the production of the goods to the household, so this has changed slightly! You can see that the towns here are more lively than the towns in the Land of Fire, in fact, because of the intensive large-scale agricultural production practiced in the Land of Rain, farmers in the traditional sense are gathered in the towns and become agricultural workers......"
Hinata Hinata and Phoenix Temple Yuu Yu were dumbfounded when they heard this, and for the first time they felt the gap between themselves and these traverser predecessors! This is not only a gap in experience and wisdom, but also a gap in the amount and vision, when they are still focusing on their own strength, entangled with personal grievances, the vision of these predecessors has already surpassed the personal gains and losses of a village and a family, and has risen to the political level of social change.
"However, such a drastic reform will definitely cause a big backlash!"
Hinata Hinata frowned slightly and thought about it, then thought of a certain question, and at the same time couldn't help asking, "Konan Nagato of the Land of Rain, are they also traversers?" "Such a radical concept of governance doesn't feel like it's something that the natives can achieve at all, and apart from the traversers, it's hard to propose any profound social reforms with so many middle and second disease patients in the Hokage world.
"Hehe, whether there are any traversers among Xiaonan Nagato, let's wait for you to see them, judge for yourself!"
Qimu Ruri smiled lightly, but did not reveal the riddle, but played the dumb riddle enough, and said: "However, their revolution has touched the basic order of the entire ninja world, and has caused a constant backlash from the entire ninja nobility, which is a rare situation in the three wars where several major countries jointly target one country!" However, Uzumaki Nagato's reincarnation eye is too powerful, and Xiao Nan's detonation charm is just like opening a printing house, so the intervention armies of several major countries are in vain. Moreover, the roots of the group were greatly damaged in that battle! ”
Hinata Hinata and Phoenix Temple Yuu are not very clear about that battle, because for some reason, the situation of the war in which the countries jointly intervened in the country of rain to encircle and suppress the flame of revolution was completely hidden by the major powers after the fact, and no one except the parties involved knew the specific details of the battle at that time. I just know that after the war, all countries unanimously announced a complete blockade of the Land of Rain, and since then, the Land of Rain has become a world shrouded in an iron curtain, isolated from the outside world.
Of course, this is just what most people in the outside world see, in fact, Konoha's high-level leaders have always been inextricably linked with Konan Nagato and others in the Land of Rain, such as Jiraiya and the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate are already a master and apprentice with Konan Nagato and others, Thousand Hands True Courage also had a fateful friendship with Konan and others when they were in trouble, and Makoto Uchiha is a like-minded person in the concept of their business partner.
Therefore, although the countries have jointly blockaded the Rain Country on the surface, in fact, on the side of the Fire Country, the blockade of the Rain Country has always been useless. This is the real reason why the border trade between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire is more prosperous than anywhere else.
"I feel like this world has changed too much, it's not like the Hokage world I know at all!"
Phoenix Temple Yuyu listened to the explanation of Qimu Ruri, and remembered what he had seen and heard since he crossed into this world, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "You seniors are so capable, not only do you mix the plot together, but even the whole world has become incorrect!" ”
"Isn't that a change?"
For the words of Yuyu of the Phoenix Temple, who was half emotional and half complaining, Qimu Ruri couldn't help but smile and said: "The previous ninja was a tool, a weapon, an army, and a national machine, and the tasks they accepted were nothing more than protection, assassination, fighting, and war-related tasks!" It can be said that it is a ninja village that has contracted all the tasks of a country's army, police, and security, however, the ninja world is too small, and it is only used as a combat tool and a war machine to kill and fight, and the tasks it can receive are limited after all. If it's just a tool of force, there are only a few missions in this world that require hiring ninjas! The ninja revolution advocated by Makoto Uchiha and the four generations of Hokage and others liberated ninjas from the tools of killing and put them into a wider range of production and life, so that ninjas are not only put into battle as a tool of war like guns, but can participate in socialized production more widely like industrial machines, which virtually greatly broadens the scope of ninja's survival, so that ninjas have a wider range of choices in addition to war! Isn't that bad? In the past ten years, it can be said that it has been the most peaceful era in the ninja world, and it is also the era of the fastest development in the whole world......"
"It's a pity that there is still an economic crisis in this world......"
Dugu Feng agrees with the point of view of Qimu Ruri, but it is a pity that in the world of Hokage, which has such unscientific productivity as ninjutsu, the political and economic system is extremely immature. Makoto Uchiha and others tried their best to introduce ninjas into production and life, which greatly relieved the pressure on ninjas' survival, so that many ninjas could live well without relying on fighting, killing, and killing.
Unfortunately, the participation of ninjas in social production has caused a sharp increase in the social productivity and economic scale of the entire world, as well as the problem of overproduction. Because the number of ninjas is only a very small part of the human beings in the whole world, they participate in social production, greatly improve productivity, but also steal the jobs of many ordinary workers in disguise.
In the past ten years, the living conditions of ninjas have certainly improved significantly, but the job opportunities of most ordinary people have not increased much, so in the case of the huge number of grassroots purchasing power has not increased, the production capacity of the entire society has expanded dramatically, in fact, it has begun to saturate, and even overproduction.
Therefore, it has only been ten years since the entire ninja world began to change, and the fundamental disease of the capitalist world - the rudiments of the economic crisis - have already begun to appear.
And the easiest way to solve the economic crisis is war!
So now that I've come full circle, the gunpowder of the Fourth Ninja War has begun to accumulate!
