7: Is that still called a village? That's TM a country!
"Where will the family go in the future?"
When the elders heard this, they were all shocked, and even Mito was surprised.
Although Ashina became a shinobi at the age of twelve, known as the genius of the Uzumaki clan, what effective advice can a thirteen-year-old child make?
The elders were skeptical.
"Ashina, tell everyone your advice again." Uzumaki said.
"Good...... Good! ”
Ashina was a little nervous, subconsciously looked at his second brother, and after getting Zhou Xuan's encouraging gaze, he took a deep breath.
"As we all know, the current Fire Nation is divided and wars are raging, and the Uchiha, Hinata, Senju, Sarutobi, Kaguya, Kurama, Inuzuka, Oil Girl, Shimura, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi and other large and small ninja clans are all waging war."
"Some ninjas are fighting because of lack of resources, and some ninjas have the ambition to dominate the country of fire, while our whirlpool clan doesn't want to dominate the country of fire, just want the clansmen to live a good life."
The elders nodded slowly.
They Uzumaki clan really have no ambition, but war is not a choice for them, many times they also want peace, but other ninja tribes do not agree, after years of war, Uzumaki and some ninja tribes have formed a feud.
Ashina continued: "If the war continues, our Uzumaki clan will not only go against the original intention, will not let the clansmen live a good life, but will also cause more and more clansmen to lose their lives, we originally had a population of thousands, and we are a well-deserved clan, but after a few years of fighting, there are less than a thousand clansmen left. ”
"No way." The Great Elder shook his head and said, "The war is not something we can stop when we say stop, other ninja clans attack us, and we must fight." ”
"Yes, we have to fight." "But it can't be a simple response. ”
The Great Elder frowned and was puzzled, not understanding what this kid meant.
"After all, the strength of the individual is limited, we have to increase our strength, if we only rely on our Vortex people to fight on the battlefield, there are so many ninja clans who stand in a hostile position with us in the Fire Country, and they can't fight at all!"
"Do you mean an alliance?" The second elder interrupted, vaguely understanding what Ashina was trying to say, "But aren't we already allied with the Thousand Hands Clan?" ”
"It's not just about alliances." Ashina negates.
Glancing at the second brother with his spare eyes, he gritted his teeth and slapped the table vigorously:
"We're going to build a village!"
This shot immediately startled everyone.
The Great Elder said faintly: "Our Vortex Clan Land is now a village itself, with a population of more than 900, what village do we want to build?" ”
Ashina responded to him: "We want to build a big village that is not just the Uzumaki people, and all the ordinary people of the Fire Country will be integrated into our village!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the elders became suspicious and strange, and they faintly felt that something was wrong, and frowned and thought.
Bring all the common people together in the village...... Is that still called a village? That's TM a country!
"It's not enough to form an alliance with the Thousand Hands Clan."
Ashina sorted out his thoughts for a while, and continued: "Because sometimes the Thousand Hands Clan can't protect themselves, and the other ninja clans are arrogant and can't recruit us, even if they do, they will definitely not be willing to submit to us, if they want to rebel, recruiting ordinary people will not have such a risk." ”
"After years of war, even a big clan like us is miserable, not to mention those ordinary people, the country of fire is full of mourning and the wild people are struggling to live, at this time, as long as we let out rumors to the outside world, saying that our Vortex clan is willing to provide shelter for displaced people, and everyone works together to build a new home, there will definitely be a large number of civilians rushing to join us, there is no doubt about this!"
"Don't think that the civilian population is weak and useless, in the war years, the population is the most valuable resource, and after the population is established, we can vigorously develop construction, reclaim wasteland, form an army, trade and trade, and collect taxes...... All in all, the benefits are endless! ”
When the elders heard this, several of them were already breathing rapidly, and they only felt their hearts beating "thump" in their chests, and their blood was boiling hot.
It's just that Ashina's prospect is too tempting, and it seems that they can touch it at their fingertips!
Raise an army, collect taxes, this is a country!
If it really becomes like that, won't we all become relatives of the Imperial Vortex one by one? ?
"Shhh
The Great Elder gasped, not calm for a moment.
Ashina continued: "One civilian is weak, and ten civilians are weak, but if it is an army composed of 1,000 civilians, no ninja dares to underestimate it, and no ninja dares to attack and offend us. ”
"Father, eldest sister, second brother, elders, just imagine, if we really build such a big village, who else will we be afraid of? At that time, we will not only become the overlord of the ninja clan, but we will also be able to lead all the clansmen to live a prosperous life......"
"Well said!"
One of the elders couldn't help it, and he snorted excitedly.
"This is the most correct development direction for our Vortex Clan in the future!"
"Ashina, your suggestion is very good, and the enforceability is very high!"
"Once such a village is built, we will be invincible, and we will not be afraid of all enemies!"
All the elders echoed and were excited, and no one was in opposition to it.
"Ashina, I didn't expect you to come up with such an idea, it's amazing!"
Mito did not hesitate to praise, but he didn't expect that this elders' meeting would bring such a big surprise to him.
Ashina was a little embarrassed by his sister's praise and scratched the back of his head shyly.
"Silence."
The Vortex Dragon suddenly spoke, suppressing the commotion of the crowd.
"I have a question." He stared at Ashina and said, "We Uzumaki don't have much food reserves right now, and if we really spread the word and provide shelter for all the displaced civilians, what can we give to those who come to defect to eat?" ”
This sentence silenced the elders, some muttered, and some stopped talking.
Everyone has to admit that this is a very difficult problem, since ancient times, the people have taken food as the sky, and it is difficult for them to eat enough for the whirlpool people, so how can they afford to support refugees?
If they can't afford to support refugees, isn't the statement they put out just?
"Sell the iron ore." Ashina said.
"It just so happens that we just took an iron mine from the Kaguya clan and sold it to the Daimyo of the Fire Country, he must be willing to buy it!"
Ashina actually didn't know why the Daimyo of the Fire Country was willing to buy it, anyway, the second brother told him this, and he also told his father this.
