Chapter 53 Seeking the Country

If a person can lead others for a long time and sit very firmly in the leadership position, then he must have a very good point.

As for the ape flying day slash who has led Konoha for many years, he fully promoted the small clan during his tenure, and promoted the three clans of pigs, deer and butterflies, which were not famous during the original generation and second generation Hokage, to the mainstay of Konoha.

During the 2nd and 3rd Great Ninja Wars, the war strategy he led was also very appropriate, and he waged war in the surrounding small countries to ensure the continuity of production and construction on his own national territory.

Looking at all the decisions he made in the Hokage's position, perhaps what is really criticized is that after the death of the 4th Hokage, he did not choose to select the 5th Hokage, but paid for himself to continue to hold this position.

If he chooses to return to Tsunade at that time, or let Orochimaru serve as the Hokage to oversee himself, maybe Konoha will have a more brilliant future and not go through a dormant period of more than 10 years.

And what really made him stay in the position of the Hokage for a long time was that he grabbed Konoha's financial power with one hand and Konoha's military power with the other.

Even if the shinobi team receives the task, he will personally ask about them one by one, and some even promulgate them himself.

The other is the small clan and ordinary ninjas who were promoted during his tenure.

With the help of the ninja school, the three generations of Hokage apes Fei Hi Slash really participated in the new things in Konoha's original power structure dominated by the thousand-armed Uchiha.

Diverse compositions are easier for leaders to dictate.

In this regard, it is more or less a bit of a local tyrant to divide the land, after all, the amount of tasks occupied by a large clan can be used to feed several small clans or even a dozen or twenty ordinary middle and lower ninja teams with no background.

A total of 3~4 major clans have died out during the tenure of Sarutobi Hichicho, and the most praised ones are probably Senju and Uchiha.

After all, the amount of tasks required by a large family is beyond the normal needs, because there are many people in the big family who are not productive in this era and need to be supported.

And big families like Senju, Uchiha and Hinata can't let go of their bodies to run some industries like the three families of Pig, Deer and Butterfly.

Therefore, with the advantage of first-come, first-served, a large amount of real estate speculation rents were hoarded in the village.

There is nothing more jealous than having to pay more than half of the money earned in a month of hard work to be used as rent.

One person can suppress another, and a group of people can only be suppressed by another group of people. Sarutobi is truly a figure who represents the interests of these Konoha latecomers.

But after eating Senju Hagi and Uchiha one after another, Sarutobi Hizashi also discovered a problem, the more new generation ninjas he cultivated, the more tasks he needed to feed them, whether it was to earn money or sharpen his strength, he needed tasks.

It's like a giant wheel that can't be stopped, and it could have been balanced by the game between the big clan and the ordinary ninjas and the small clan. Now that the big clan is even dead, only Hyuga remains, and the Rixia Clan has an absolutely indisputable attitude.

Sarutobi couldn't even pull the shelf in terms of task assignment, because now on the opposite side of Konoha's ordinary ninja and the small clan, no one was singing against him.

A person who has served as a Hokage for many years must have foresight and decisiveness, and in this case, the small clan will become a big clan, and ordinary ninjas will become a small clan.

As the number of members of the family increases, Ape Flying Sunslash must provide them with more missions in exchange for their support.

And he is not an immortal, there are only so many people in the Land of Fire, and there are so many tasks that can be issued, where is he going to conjure up new tasks?

Standing in front of the window of the Hokage's own office, Sarutobi seemed to see the two words that loomed above the village-war!

In fact, why don't you understand the thoughts of his son Asma? Only more ordinary people can raise more ninjas, and leaning towards ordinary people is the future of ninjas.

But before everyone can become a ninja, there will inevitably be a painful game in between.

And Sarutobi had already made his choice, he had long been on the side of the ninjas, and he was already destined not to turn his back on his supporters to speak for the other side, that would only die faster.

For today's plan, the only way is to open up.

"Hokage-sama." Kakashi Hagi pushed the door open and entered.

"You're here, Kakashi."

Sarutobi slammed the window shut, removed the pipe from his hand, and turned to Kakashi.

"I remember when you took over the mission of the Snow Country, right?"

Kakashi scratched his head in a rare way, recalling an experience that wasn't so pleasant in his mission career.

"Yes, it was supposed to be a mission to protect the Daimyo, but in the end he escaped with his only daughter, and it's really embarrassing to think about it now."

Sarutobi smiled and said, "I don't blame you, a ninja village that can't stabilize his own country deserves to be destroyed."

What I want to ask you today is, what do you think of that Snow Country Daimyo back then?

After all, you guarded him for a while, so you should know something. ”

Kakashi recalled the daimyo who was kind and close to ordinary people, and was silent for a moment before replying.

"I think he should have a good conversation with Asma."

"Hahaha!" Ape Flying Sun laughed.

And Kakashi continued, "But he's naïve, and it's a great idea that he wants to benefit the people of the whole country by developing technology."

However, out of kindness, he was unwilling to raise taxes, and chose to use the funds that should have been given to Ninja Village to develop technology.

It's really naïve. ”

Sarutobi took out a document from the drawer, "But his kindness left his daughter a chance, this is a restoration mission from his retainers, you see, if there is no problem, I am ready to let you go." ”

Kakashi took the document and frowned as he glanced at half of the page. "My lord, how can a task involving the replacement of a daimyo be an A-level?

And why are the mission bounties so small? ”

"They couldn't afford the bounty before they returned to China, and it is estimated that they won't be able to take it out immediately after they return to China.

But don't worry, the village will make up the difference at the price of S-class missions.

As for why it's an A-level mission, you understand. When it comes to the replacement of the daimyō, even if we have the daughter of the former daimyo on hand, this kind of thing is more taboo.

It's a grade A. ”

Kakashi nodded, "Am I alone, my lord?" ”

"Your teammates are already with the target. Don't spare your hands on the snow ninja during the mission, the snow country under the protection of Konoha does not need the ninja village. ”

(Except for the technology in the biological aspect, the technology of the Hokage world above the 16th century does not exist, there are too many bugs, and it is too difficult to complete.) Especially in the theater of the Snow Country, even the ninjas of Konoha have never seen a train...... )
