Chapter 199: Follow the Tactics
Maybe it's different in the form of expression, but the truth is actually the same. Sarutobi's experience limits his horizons, but decades of Hokage are not in vain, and even if he can't see the source of danger, he instinctively makes bad judgments.
Just like the ecological chain on the grassland, under normal circumstances, predators such as tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves will not prey on each other, regardless of whether they can beat each other or not, regardless of the success rate for the time being, rashly attacking other predators with sharp teeth and claws and strong resistance ability are easy to be injured in the opponent's counterattack.
In a competitive environment, survival is not easy, and once injured, it means weakening or even completely losing the ability to hunt, and the end will be miserable.
Leopards have the ability to prey on cheetahs, jackals, badgers and other secondary predators, but when elk and antelopes are enough to feed themselves, they will not consider making it more difficult to survive to hunt another beast.
The competition between ninja villages is similar to this, and the middle ninja exam is to determine each other's potential and judge whether the existing division of forces is in line with strength.
Resting within the ninja village, the competition is also quite fierce, once the ability of the upper ninja to hold money does not open up a gap with the middle ninja and the lower ninja, its influence and status will also be impacted.
It's like the universal education in the previous life, when the master's degree was everywhere, and the bachelor's degree was not as good as the dog's era, only the doctorate had a little bit of capital. But don't forget that a few decades ago, the cut-off scores for college and technical secondary school once surpassed that of full-time universities and ordinary high schools. The reason for this strange phenomenon is quite simple, the society at that time, the junior college education was enough, wasting a few more years to go to the university, not to mention the high difficulty, the cost performance of college undergraduates did not necessarily exceed that of college graduates, a few years in advance of the society began to make money, for the ordinary family who tried their best to support a student, it was obviously more cost-effective.
If this phenomenon appears in Konoha Village, perhaps many middle ninjas will not have too strong motivation to improve themselves, and if they go for a fight, it will not only be dangerous, but the success rate will be much lower than the promotion qualifications of the upper ninja.
"The great rift between a very small elite and the vast majority of civilian ninjas."
This is a phenomenon that Ape Fei Ri is worried about, and it will appear in the next few decades. In that case, the ninja village, which has not completely eliminated the internal contradictions, may really lose the foundation of its current unity.
The so-called "Will of Fire" is not omnipotent, although the Konoha Ninja is powerful, the absolute number and size are not worth mentioning at all compared to the Fire Country.
"If the Gusugi family just inadvertently hit the point, that's fine. But if you deliberately do so, you're in trouble.'"
This is not a conspiracy, but an upright conspiracy, and the ninja village, which openly obeys the command of the daimyo, cannot resist this subtle influence.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire is the rightful leader, and Konoha Village is only a vassal in morality.
Once the face is turned around, the main source of economic resources of Konoha Village will be cut off; But if you sit back and watch the development of the situation, Konoha Village's autonomous status will be strongly impacted.

The ape, who was smoking a pipe, really couldn't think of an effective way to improve the situation. This speculation cannot be used as a basis to persuade other advisors to act until it is actually presented.
Even the most sensitive Shimura Danzou probably wouldn't believe that such an outrageous thing would happen.
"Destroying the Uchiha family is still too hasty and too hasty."
Originally, Ape Fei Sun Slash did not support such radical methods, but since he was over sixty years old, his combat power slipped from the peak, and he realized that his days in power were short, but his successors were not successful, so that the old man who led Konoha Village for decades also had a little anxiety in his heart, so he came up with the idea of eliminating hidden dangers early and then cultivating successors.
Even if the Hokage's five generations are really inadequate, a "clean" Konoha Village is more suitable for them to get through the initial stage of adaptation.
It is precisely because of this idea of "paving the way for future generations" that the style of action of Ape Fei Sun began to be impatient.
The powerful and unruly Uchiha family has too serious constraints on the Hokage, and the respected Sarutobi himself often has jealous thoughts, and the young and less prestigious "rookie village chief" can't control the rampant ninja Uchiha.
"I can't hold the power forever, and sooner or later I have to hand it over to a reliable heir."
Acquiescing to Shimura Danzo to destroy the Uchiha family, Sarutobi did not regret it at all, but the change on the night of the extermination of the clan gave birth to a bad premonition in the heart of the well-informed Hokage Sandaime.
There are too many variables, and the development of the situation is like a wild horse, and no one knows where it will develop.
Considering only the influencing factors within Konoha Village, there is nothing wrong with the consideration of Ape Fei Sun Slash, but if the forces outside Konoha Village interfere, the ending deviates too far from the original intention.
Of course, the immediate priority is to swallow the bait thrown by the Gushan family, and then return the hook hidden in it.
Until the Hokage's office was filled with choking smoke, Sarutobi still didn't think of a good solution.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door to the office was pushed open, and Inuzuka Paw, who was wearing a ninja vest on a hot day, walked in with a serious face.
"Miyome, you call me?"
"Hmm."
Gently knocking on his pipe, putting down his troubled thoughts, Ape Fei Ri asked after coughing a few times,
"The psychic beast training base jointly established by your Inuzuka family and the Gusugi family is very large?"
"Big is big, but ......"
Inuzuka paw replied a little embarrassed,
"The cooperation has been carried out for more than a year, but there is still no profit, and it is completely maintained by the procurement of the Gushan family, and the regular operating income cannot cover the cost at all."
"I heard that the ninja dog rescue training center you opened near Konoha Village earlier is quite popular, so after so many years, it shouldn't be a loss, right?"
"That's true."
Inuzuka explained,
"The real reason for the soaring costs is that the Gushan family is demanding too high standards. Large-scale mass production is their primary priority, even if the temporary expenditure skyrockets, they will not hesitate to do so. ”
"I guess I understand."
It doesn't matter if it's expensive now, we can continue to improve the process and develop high-quality and inexpensive veterinary drugs, rather than relying on one or two special talents to prepare special drugs and special feed to "customize" individual excellent psychic beasts.
In that case, sooner or later, the psychic beast cultivation base will be reduced to a niche institution that only serves some elites. From the very beginning, the "products" of the Gushan family were aimed at the vast majority of people with average qualifications and ordinary strength.
"Striving for the largest coverage area and digging deeper into the value is a technique that only the Daimyo and Furusugi who hold the Land of Fire in their hands can play. Konoha Village ...... It's very difficult to learn.'"
As long as the shipment of universal psychic beasts developed by the Gushan family is increased by one percentage point, or the cost is reduced by one percent, the Gushan family will be able to turn losses into profits, and even make a lot of money, and the lower limit of secular force will be raised, and the power of the daimyo and Gusugi will rise.
Resting in Konoha Village, the number of middle ninjas and lower ninjas has doubled, and the number of upper ninjas has increased by one percent at most, and no more can be maintained, in the era of peace, there is no need for so many masters, I didn't see the previous generation of "pig deer butterflies", and I got drunk in the tavern every day?
There are not many things to do, and it is not good to be idle after it is done, and it is just right to get into trouble, and go to a small gathering to have a few drinks in your spare time.
"As long as the order of one village and one country has not been destroyed, and the magnates of the Fire Country do not turn their faces, there is basically no solution to such a situation."
This kind of moisturizing and silent change is not something that can be resisted by shouting a few words of "Konoha spirit".
Inuzuka Paw asked with some trepidation:
"Is there something wrong? The cooperation between Inuzuka and Furusugi is very careful ......"
"You're too worried, I'm just a little curious."
With a smile on his face, Ape Feiri said happily,
"I used to be too busy to care about the difficulties of the ninja people in the village. The family is big, and it's not easy to maintain, you Inuzuka have to make a living, and we ape fly too. Asma, that guy is still ...... to be alone."
"It's a lot calmer now, unlike before, when I got into trouble."
"I hope so."
After traveling for a few years and being a guardian for a few years, I have indeed grown a lot, but in some aspects, it is still a headache. Seeing that he has reached the age of talking about marriage, his naïve performance is not much better than that of a child who has just fallen in love.
The young governor of Gushan, who is at the same level as him, is already the father of four children, and he chats with Gu Yi Liuli and Gu Shanzhengcheng husband and wife, and when it comes to grandchildren, he is really envious of others.
There are so many young girls in the village, and there are many excellent female ninjas of the same age, why do you have to hang yourself from a tree?
Even his old father heard about his youngest son eating Gushan Shaodu Fei's vinegar, which made the ape Feiri, who had been strong for a lifetime, sigh. Obviously, when he was a child, he was a naughty child, but when he grew up, he became an innocent elm pimple.
"That'...... What are your opinions on the cooperation with the Furusugi family? ”
"Don't be nervous, the village has no intention of objecting, let alone asking you to break into the Gushan family to steal any secrets. We are allies in weal and woe, and we don't need much intrigue and calculation. But ......"
After a pause, Ape Fei said with a smile,
"Some time ago, the psychic horses, giant bear shield guards, and wild boar riders in those noble convoys were indeed a bit interesting, so I also wondered if I would try them out in the village......
Don't look at the bad name, wild boars, bears and the like, in fact, they are excellent psychic beasts. The charging adult wild boar, even the tiger has to retreat, coupled with the tough skin on the body surface, the mane like a steel needle, the thick fat, the sensitive sense of smell stronger than most dogs, and the comprehensive quality, which is stronger than most mounts and psychic beasts.
The heavily armed boar guards the heavy cavalry, and the coercion exuded from his body is really amazing.
Ordinary people always use captive pigs to measure specially bred wild boars, but they are actually very wrong. The wild boar is also a fairly clean animal, and it is not a bad thing to like to roll in the mud, and the hardened soil can effectively kill parasites. The pigs in the pigsty are mixed with feces and pee, not because they want to, but because there is nowhere else to go.
Privately, the Hokage's advisors had evaluated several psychic beast mounts, and the boar was the highest. A team of heavily armed boar knights is very likely to withstand the attack of a wing of mid-ninjas, rush to the front, and use the advantage of equipment to carry out the slaughter.
The second is the giant bear shield guard, whose keen hunting instinct makes the assassin have nothing to hide, the arch guard is by the side of the daimyo, supplemented by the guardian ninja, and it is extremely difficult for the upper ninja attack of less than three people to break through the defense.
As for the traditional horse rangers, the terrifying endurance makes it basically impossible to escape the target that is targeted.
Canine psychic beasts, the most flexible, and the best phase of earth-attribute ninjutsu, the combination is quite perfect, and the matching of a variety of secret techniques is also very good.
"Three generations, do you mean that the village is also planning to purchase a batch of psychic beasts?"
"You have done so much, in addition to public welfare and charitable assistance, it also means selling to earn income, right? Others can buy it, and Konoha Village can naturally ...... too"
"That's good news. Thanks to Hokage-sama's trust, the Inuzuka family will do their best to serve the village. ”
Inuzuka Paw was overjoyed.
The family began to promote psychic dogs and veterinarians in Konoha Village a long time ago, brushing up on their sense of existence, accumulating character, and it was the first time that they were really recognized at the village level.
"There is no need to do this, the village procurement must also go through the process, according to the normal standards, and the business matters stay at the business level. After all, with the share of the Gusugi family, the interests of the collaborators must be taken into account......"
"You've thought it through, so you'll do it."
Seeing Inuzuka Paw, who couldn't suppress the joy on his face, leave, Sarutobi retracted his smile and sighed softly.
"Just because you can't see the way forward and can't make a choice, it's good to learn the methods of successful people."
Following tactics, it is useful in many cases, and Sarufei Sun Slash really doesn't know what Gu Shanbu Shui is planning, and he doesn't know how to eliminate the negative impact on Konoha Village, but the average strength of Konoha Village is still far beyond the average of the ninja world, and the overall difference is a bit far, but the gold content is extremely high.
If the Gushan family does something wrong, everyone will fall into the pit, and the eldest brother will not be able to laugh at the second brother; If the method works, the Gusugi family will get a big benefit, and the Konoha Village will get a "small" benefit, and it will not be left too far, and with the strong individual strength of the Konoha ninja, it can also retain enough right to speak.
"Only young people can understand the ideas of young people, and an old man like an old man is already the limit to this point. As for the future......
Turning the matter of cultivating an heir out of his heart again, the old man's mood was even worse.
Three disciples, one is more worry-free than the other. Nara Shikahisa's talent is enough, but his performance is not positive enough, and his prestige and strength are slightly insufficient. The younger Kakashi Hachiki and his ilk are not mature enough.
A supreme genius who ascended to the position of Hokage in his early twenties, such as Bo Feng Shuimen, is really hard to find. If the four generations hadn't died young, their strength would definitely have reached a higher level, where would there be so many broken things now?
