Chapter 92: Sun vs God (4/5)
Two mental stimuli in succession made Nagato in the depths of the other tower a little dazed.
Alone in the dark, he was stunned for a while, and the sluggishness on his emaciated face gradually turned into surging anger, and immediately manifested itself on Tiandao Payne, who was "remotely controlled" by him.
"Are you kidding me?"
This sentence was already gritted teeth, and combined with the deep voice of Heavenly Dao Payne, the meaning of threat was overflowing.
Since Yahiko's death, he and Xiao Nantong have also been proud of two achievements-
One is to establish the Xiao organization, and the other is to take over Yuyin Village.
But this Purgatory Xingjulang, even if he refused to join "Xiao" twice in a row, does he still look down on Yuyin Village under their rule?
Doesn't this mean that in the heart of Purgatory Xingjulang, the achievements that he is secretly proud of are not worth mentioning at all?
If Kyojurou was just a casual passerby, Payne naturally didn't bother to pay attention to his opinion.
However, he and Xiao Nan both attach great importance to this child who has great influence in the country of rain, so they care very much about Xing Shoulang's evaluation, and they really can't say a word of "childlike words", and then laugh over.
The words he had just heard were unacceptable to Payne, who had been soaked in a great sense of accomplishment not long ago.
Payne, who hadn't been disobeyed in nearly a decade, was outraged.
At the moment, he didn't directly blast out this unashamed little ghost with a Shinra Tianzheng, it was nothing more than because the other party was very young and had the identity of being born in the Land of Rain.
But Kyojurou was only one step away from touching the limit of his patience.
"I never tease people, I just tell the truth!"
Kyojurou was not moved by the anger shown by the other party, and sat upright as usual, without seeing the slightest malice.
"If Yuyin Village still intends to maintain this status quo, I really can't sincerely persuade everyone to move here and settle down, because I understand their thoughts!"
Kyojurou is not a righteous man, and most of the time, he speaks quite careless about the feelings of others.
But this time, he really saw a big hidden danger in this village, so he spoke bluntly without embellishment.
Others who go around and around in big things misunderstand what he means, this kind of thing, Xingjulang will not do.
However, as before, he did not speak in any sense of aggression, still with a shallow smile.
To Payne, however, the smile looked like a blatant taunt, bouncing back and forth next to his sensitive nerves.
Just as Payne wanted to do something, Xiao Nan stood up one step ahead of him.
"I don't understand!"
The "angel's" face was unprecedentedly serious, and he asked like a prosecutor who had been put on the side by the defense lawyer: "Could it be that it is worse to let them live in the well-supplied Yuyin Village than in that place where only berries and mushrooms are left to feed their hunger?" β
[It's been a long time since I've seen Xiao Nan so angry. γ
Nagato sighed in his heart, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.
He also understood the reason why Xiao Nan was angry.
During this time, Xiao Nan was actually the village chief of Yuyin Village.
Purgatory Xingjulang just said that Yuyin Village is not suitable for life, undoubtedly directly accusing Xiao Nan of not managing this place well.
Thinking of this, he manipulated Payne to silence, intending to see what Kyojuro would say.
"Could you please answer some of my questions first?"
Kyojurou sensed that Payne's malice had subsided slightly, so he no longer looked out for him, but asked directly at Konan, "I have heard that due to the toxicity in the water source and soil erosion caused by rainfall, the Land of Rain has been unable to supply its own food since the Second Ninja World War. Since a large number of villages outside of Rain Hidden Village have been abandoned, the ninjas led by Hanzo have accepted employment and become almost the only source of income for the country, right? β
Xiao Nan and Payne glanced at each other, they were a little surprised, they didn't expect Xing Shoulang to be young and would study such a problem.
In fact, with the scope of Kyojuro's own interests, he can't say such a thing.
But Konoha has an ape flying slash that he cultivated as the Hokage's heir.
Every time he chatted with the old man who managed more than 100,000 people in the village, he would gain some knowledge, not to mention that Ape Fei Ri did it intentionally.
"That's right."
Xiao Nan asked, "But what does this have to do with us now......
"Listen to me first!"
Kyojuro made a gesture of calmness.
Xiao Nan's heart calmed down a little and sat down directly next to him.
"All in all, since then, the demographic structure of Yuyin Village has been very special.
"Because ninjas have become the sole economic backbone of the country, food is completely dependent on foreign purchases. The only way for civilians to survive is to serve the ninjas. In this village, with the exception of one who worked at the power plant, the rest of the civilians either served the ninja's domestic servants or, for example, in restaurants, custom shops, casinos, and bathhouses, in a different way to serve the ninja of the village.
In other words, the situation in Rain Hidden Village is that for ninjas, any civilian can be replaced at will; And the civilians can't survive without the ninja! And this has also led to the fact that the Rain Country only needs a small number of civilians to operate, and those extra civilians who live outside the Rain Hidden Village have become a destabilizing factor, which is why Hanzo raised the butcher's knife against them! And all this is nothing more than because, the role they play in this country, does not matter at all! β
This is the essential difference between the Land of Rain and other big countries in the ape flying sun's mouth-
Ninjas don't need their own civilians to produce food and goods to feed, and naturally they don't need a relatively harmonious "military-civilian" relationship like Konoha .
Xiao Nan and Payne thought for a while, and nodded in unison.
"So, may I ask you, what role have the civilians of the Land of Rain played since you replaced Hanzo?"
After a short silence, Xiao Nan's lips opened slightly, and his face turned slightly pale.
Kyojuro nodded heavily: "You should have thought of it!" Because of the need to keep the secret of Sanshoyu Hanzo's death, Yuyin Village only uses trustworthy people, so only a few ninjas are working. Judging from what we've just been through, except for a portion of the civilians who are responsible for repairing the destroyed houses, andβ"
Kyojuro pointed to the elevator on the opposite side of the road, "Except for the workers working in the power plant, most of the ninjas and civilians are idle at home!" This situation should have lasted for two months, and I don't know how long it will last! I would like to ask, how many residents are there in Yuyin Village now? How many ninjas, how many civilians? β
Xiao Nan and Payne exchanged glances, and then immediately replied: "Fifteen hundred ninjas, about eight thousand civilians, there are less than ten thousand people in total......"
Then she added: "But we have enough food and vegetables, and even if we double the number of people, we can ensure that everyone can be fed." β
"I can tell that you are serious about getting people out of hunger!"
Xing Shoulang's words made Xiao Nan's face soften, "So, where did the food come from?" β
ββ¦β¦ The members of Yes Xiao made money, and then went to other countries to exchange it for food and bring it back, and there was a special person in charge. β
She is in charge of the logistics of Yuyin Village, but it is operated by Jiaodu.
He is old, has many doors, and is famous for his murder, and he can always find a way to buy (rob) with the least amount of money (rob? to the most grain.
Thinking of this, she emphasized: "Although most of the people in the village do not have jobs, we still distribute enough food to everyone. When there are more and more people you can trust, things will get better. β
"I know you mean the best, but the reality isβ"
Kyojuro pointed to the ground and said the key.
"In the past, the civilians of Yuyin Village had to count on ninja life; And now, everyone, whether civilians or ninjas, is counting on the handouts of the two of them to live! It seems that everyone is well fed and no longer worried about being bullied, but their insignificant nature in this village has not changed!
"The owner of this village used to be Hanzo and a ninja loyal to him, but now, there are only two of them.
"Even if you can trust more and more ninjas, and after a while, let the ninjas re-establish the country, the status of the civilians will not change! In the eyes of ninjas, they are still dispensable. Especially in the village I represent, there are many young and old among them, not to mention serving ninjas, and even they need to be taken care of by others. After coming here, in the eyes of others, they will also become a burden to get food without a job, causing more serious hostility! β
Seeing Xiao Nan's face becoming more and more solemn, Xing Shoulang led the topic back.
"Lord Angel, that's why you went to the village to invite everyone to Yuyin Village, but they hesitated.
"Now that Hanzo is dead, their safety is hardly an issue anymore. Collecting berries and mushrooms in the forest, although the food is single, it is enough to feed themselves, and they themselves are the masters of the village, and with the current population, they will not have much pressure until the next generation is born! But if you go to Yuyin Village, although there are more choices, the vital lifeline of food is in the hands of outsiders, that is, the two of you, and in the future, it will be in the hands of those more important ninjas. But in this way, it is just a return to the past, what is the difference between it and the livestock to be slaughtered......"
"You two, if you don't solve this basic problem, I can't persuade them to move here!"
Hearing this, Xiao Nan realized that when they managed this country, they had only given food and safety from the top to the bottom, but they had not found the unstable factors hidden in the population structure, and they couldn't help but pick their fingers in some confusion.
That's why she didn't approve of killing all the Rain Hidden higher-ups in the first place.
She hadn't thought about it at all, and managing a village/city was far more complicated than she imagined.
The two of them are pure laymen, and they just do the most superficial actions.
On the contrary, Payne, after being hit one after another, said in a somewhat impatient tone: "Speaking of which, you still don't believe that we will treat them well!"
"As long as I'm here, nothing like that you say will happen. All the people of the Land of Rain are God's people, and I will never let the ninjas do whatever they want because they are not so important. In my eyes, there is not much difference between ordinary people and ninjas. β
Speaking of this, Payne said, "I will treat everyone equally." This is a promise from the gods, and the ninjas of the Land of Rain must obey it, and there will be no exceptions! β
Otherwise, what awaits those people is his severe sanctions!
Payne really thinks so, so he speaks loudly.
This is the characteristic of Payne and most of the powerful people who suddenly increased in strength, they think that they can use their strength to solve all difficulties, use their strength to simplify complex problems, and show their ideal scenes rashly, and don't think about anything else.
"I know you're powerful! You have the eyes of the legendary Six Immortals, which are indeed unimaginably strong! β
Kyojuro's words made Payne a little comfortable, and he finally heard a compliment on him.
"I didn't expect you to know the origin of these eyes."
Payne glanced approvingly at Kyojuro, which was regarded as a compliment in return for the other party's compliment just now.
But he'll regret it right away.
"But as far as I know, the Six Dao Immortals also die one day."
Purgatory Kyojurou saw the expressions of Payne and Konan falling into a freeze at the same time, but he still kept talking.
"The only possibility that the situation you envision can survive is that you can run the country all the time, but this is obviously impossible! Please see the reality before making a decision! β
He was a man who lived through the Meiji Restoration.
How many idealized policies, thought to lack foundation, can only be maintained because the presiding officer is alive or in power.
But as soon as they die or step down, things take a turn for the better.
"Kyojuro, stop talking!"
Seeing that Payne suddenly fell into a terrifying silence over there, Xiao Nan hurriedly stopped Kyojurou from continuing.
She stood up, between Kyojurou and Payne, and then, with a reassuring look, reached out her right hand to reach Payne's shoulder, but Payne grabbed her wrist in mid-air.
"Are you questioning the power of 'God'?"
Payne pulled Xiao Nan away a little roughly, and asked almost word for word, "Purgatory Xingjuro." β
Xiao Nan was held by Payne's wrist and couldn't speak, so he could only glance at Kyojuro, who just smiled back.
"I'm just trying to be honest!"
Xing Shoulang ignored Xiao Nan's reminder, his eyes did not blink, and he said his thoughts sincerely: "You may be killed, you may be overthrown, no one can accurately predict the future!" β
[Even the lord's ability to predict is not effective every time. γ
Right now, anyone who looks at Kyojuro's expression knows that he really thinks so.
This Payne is strong, but not so strong that he has no opponents.
When he unfolded Kagura's eyes in Konoha, he had detected at least two ninjas who could match Payne, which is why he had such thoughts.
"yes, I see......"
Hearing this, Payne seemed to sigh, "Because of your age, and what you've done for the Land of Rain in the past two years, I've tolerated you until now." β
He let go of Xiao Nan's wrist, and with a gentle sweep, an invisible force immediately pushed her down to the seat next to her, and carried her back slowly, submerging into the surrounding darkness.
"But perhaps it was the last time we met, and my men showed mercy to you, a genius like you, who had mistaken the power that God possessed. It's my negligence ......"
["My" subordinates are merciful? γ
Purgatory Kyojuro caught a keyword.
The last time he met the circle eye that could summon monsters, it was definitely not the person in front of him, why did he say that?
What kind of relationship is there between them?
Without giving him time to continue, Payne was already slowly standing up.
"In that case, I don't have to bother with words.
"Appreciate the power of God, which is not only observable by your ordinary eyes!
"Purgatory Kyojuro...... If you can survive this blow, you'll be qualified to continue talking to me. β
[Hey! Kyojuro! Be careful! γ
Suddenly, the Nine-Tails Chakra in Kyojuro's belly vibrated frantically, initiating the biggest reminder it had ever moved.
Payne stared at Kyojurou with a look of vigilance, his cold eyes suddenly widening without warning, and he spat out four syllables with great clarityβ
"HRE Celestial Sign."
