Chapter 306: The Cold War Era of the Ninja World
The "Konoha ninja war-weariness" that Uchiha Tokumitsu said in his meeting with the three generations of Kazekage and Sanshoyu Hanzo is actually not exactly a pretext.
And that's exactly what happened.
It's just that the war-weariness is most obvious in the ninja ninjas left over from the original Hokage clan and the civilian ninjas who support the so-called "orthodox fire consciousness", these people have lost their interests and lost power due to the rise of the Uchiha clan, and naturally they don't have the idea of participating in the war to profit the forces of the Uchiha clan and Hachiki Sakushige.
Coupled with the checks and balances that the Thousand Hands Clan has always had, although the Hyuga Patriarch has also moved closer to Uchiha Tokumitsu on some occasions, his family has always maintained a part of the backbone of the so-called "Konoha Third Force", and the two have also restrained a lot of energy from the Uchiha Clan.
Therefore, in such an environment, the strength of the Konoha Ninja Village Headquarters cannot be fully utilized, and Uchiha Tokumitsu is unwilling to plunge his Shogunate Ninja Army into the incomparably cruel Ninja Village Destruction Campaign, so he made the conclusion that "the main theme of the ninja world is peace" during the meeting.
To put it bluntly, it's all about interests.
As a subsidiary of the Treaty of United Commerce and Trade Integration signed by the four countries, the United Company completely removed the obstacles to entering the Land of the Wind and began to strengthen its commercial presence in the Land of Rain, and the shogunate's Golden Yen bills poured into the territory of each country like a tidal wave with the commercial activities of the United Company.
After removing artificial barriers, fiat currencies issued with productivity as an anchor showed unparalleled flexibility, and quickly gained a significant share of payments in various countries along with the marketing activities of the United Corporation's various price reductions and high-priced purchases of raw materials.
While the Lords of the Fire Nation, who still maintain a certain degree of independence, are concerned about this, the ninjas who lack the necessary financial knowledge find the Yen Coupon a good tool for business.
This is especially true for Shayin, which is relatively scarce in resources and once relied on the village's Shadow Desert gold panning to subsidize the village's expenses.
In addition to the fact that the national currency was still the only designated legal tender for taxation in order to maintain formal monetary sovereignty, the Golden Yuan was quickly accepted by the Sand Hidens and used to purchase the various commodities of the United Company.
As for the aristocratic officials who can see the dangers behind the flood of gold yuan...... After signing the alliance treaty, they were thrown into prison by the Sand Hidden Ninjas, and instead the tax contractors of the United Company contracted to operate in oases all over the Land of the Wind - for Sand Hide, the system recommended by Uchiha Tokumitsu raised a huge amount of materials for them to use in the war in a short period of time, and the United Company tax contractors also have a limit on the contract period of the oasis, so in a short period of time, Sand Hide is not worried about being eroded by the United Company.
And Sha Yin has also decided that after repelling the invading ninja army of Iwakure, he will officially hang up all the nobles one by one and hang their heads to dry, in order to warn the unstable elements within the country of wind.
"We will support the sand in every way except sending troops, and may the tenacious sand hides never give in until the last sand ninja dies in battle!"
Privately, Uchiha Tokumitsu said to Sakushige Hachiki.
Although the alliance treaty has just been signed, Uchiha Tokumitsu's abacus has already calculated the sand to the death.
After Yunyin also decided to join the conquest of the sand in a limited way, under the promotion of Uchiha Tokumitsu, the two houses of the Konoha Senate also officially decided to support the sand hide, and a part of the Konoha ninjas entered the territory of the country of wind under the mission of the United Company to take on the task of guarding the tax-inclusive oasis, and at the same time, the materials like a tide poured into the sand hide, and at the same time, while quickly emptying the treasury of the sand hide, the sand hide also obtained the most well-equipped ninja army in the history of the ninja village.
The ambitious three generations of Kazekage were even more high-spirited after seeing the expansion of their own strength in a short period of time, coupled with his vanity, he was unwilling to ask Konoha for help so quickly, so he quickly recalled all the ninjas stationed in the sand from various oases for pre-war joint training, and handed over the defense to the United Company.
Sanshoyu Hanzo also once again gathered the ninja army troops of the Rain Ninja Village, and under his own leadership, he once again entered the eastern region of the Bird Country to threaten the rear headquarters of the Iwakure Expeditionary Force.
Although the western part of the ninja world is covered with war clouds, Konoha at this time is still singing and dancing, and it is prosperous.
Sitting in the office on the top floor of the Uchiha Tokumitsu headquarters at the Ministry of Police Headquarters, Sakumo Hachiki saw the scenery of Shinobi Village outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and his heart was filled with emotion.
"Deguangjun, in terms of strategizing, I am indeed inferior to you......"
Hachiki Shuo Mao said convincingly, "It seems that the entire ninja world is turning with your remote control. ”
"You and I are a friendship forged by blood and fire, and it is really lifeless to say this~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu chuckled, "The ninjas in the village are reluctant to start another war, and it is impossible for the shogunate to support the heavy task of subduing the two ninja villages alone...... In this case, we can only try our best to create a better external environment so that the village can cultivate and recuperate. ”
"Is there anything else you need me to cooperate with over there in the Land of Winds?"
Sakumo Hachiki asked.
As the United Company continued to expand the scale of its tax-inclusive operations in the Land of Wind, and the Rain Ninja Village began to gather at the Iwakuin Logistics Base in the Land of Forced Birds, there was also a certain shortage of hired ninjas of the United Company, so the civilian ninjas of the Innovation Society were also given more long-term assignments abroad. This is also what he wants to see for Sakushige Hagi, who has always taken a supportive attitude towards civilian ninjas.
The civilian ninjas who account for the largest proportion of the number of people are living better, and there are fewer kinds of strange words in the village, and those ninjas who choose to hibernate naturally have no medium to continue to do things in private.
"There is no big problem for the time being, and now that the dice of the Sand Hidden have been rolled, then they can only choose to launch the fiercest counterattack against the Iwakure."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said.
Compared to military aggression, economic aggression led by the United Company controlled by Uchiha Tokumitsu is more subtle and effective.
Although legally speaking, the sovereignty of the Land of Wind is still under the control of the Sand Hide, but with the Sand Hide indulging in the illusory power of the moment, coupled with the fact that the tax was collected in advance for the next ten years through the tax package in a short period of time, under the huge financial pressure, the three generations of Kazekage had no choice but to launch the final battle against the Iwakure Expeditionary Force.
- If he doesn't want to go back to the time when he was the shadow of a village but still had to pan for gold in the desert.
……
"Being an enemy of the shogunate is dangerous, but being an ally of the shogunate is deadly."
The first stop of Jiraiya's return to the ninja world after coming out of Mt. Myoki was the Land of Wind, and after wandering through all the oasis cities in the eastern part of the country of the wind, Jiraiya also had a feeling.
Although in front of the Toad Great Immortal, Jiraiya seems to have a slight owe of IQ, but in fact he is a very delicate ninja with a very delicate heart, and he is especially good at probing dynamics from the perspective of ordinary people and deducing useful information from them.
This time, he saw more far-reaching than the wind shadow of the sand hide.
Everything in the shogunate was not free, but the price was cleverly hidden behind the free or cheap in order to achieve the purpose that Uchiha Tokumitsu wanted.
The scenery in the Land of the Wind gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Not only are the streets full of Fire Country goods, but there are also the Shogunate Halo Bills that he hates the most, as well as the Konoha ninjas who lurk in the corners of the oasis and are stationed in the fortifications.
Now, it is rare to see the Sand Hide, who is supposed to be the master of the Wind Country, as if the Wind Country has become a colony of Konoha .
"The one-village-one-country system seems to have been abolished in another form......"
Jiraiya, who is in the state of a bystander, silently judges based on what he sees and hears.
The Land of the Wind is the first country in the ninja world to "collapse and be bad", after the coup d'état launched by the Wind Shadow, the original order of the country ruled by the Shadow of the Ninja Village and the Daimyo nobles has been completely destroyed, and naturally the system of one village and one country has completely lost its foundation in the Land of the Wind.
"It's a dark country......"
Jiraiya also saw the government ninjas coming and going in and out of a noble mansion thoughtfully.
When he left Miaomu Mountain this time, he also received the strong support of the Toad Great Immortal.
In order to form the "Akatsuki Organization" that he believes will save the ninja world in the future and fight against Konoha in the pursuit, Miaokiyama Ichimaichi not only provided a lot of material support, but even gave him several treasures of the Toad Great Immortal.
It's just that he somewhat miscalculated.
I thought that after turning the village into a country, the country of the wind would be in turmoil under the attack of Iwakuin, who "presided over justice", so the country of the wind was listed as the first stop of the development organization, but I didn't expect Konoha to have such a strong sense of presence in the country of the wind, and after taking over the oases around the country of the wind, it was managed in an orderly manner in a very short time.
However, the United Company's tax-inclusive rule in the Land of the Wind also has a price, for example, Jiraiya's favorite liquor shop, singer, gambling house and other customary intelligence investigation channels have also been shut down by the United Company in the name of excessive resource consumption, and instead each oasis selectively grows a certain crop or develops a specific product production, coupled with the implementation of an extremely strict floating population management system, Jiraiya's space and intelligence exploration methods have been squeezed to the extreme.
"The pornography and gambling industry has been wiped out, and the existence of the aristocracy is no longer visible......"
After hiding and snooping among the many oases of the Wind Country for a while, Jiraiya, who learned about the situation in the Wind Country, finally gave up.
After giving up the cliché to find out the information, Jiraiya subdued a merchant of the Fire Country through illusion, and interrogated the latest information of the ninja world from his mouth, and also learned the information that the nobles of the Land of Wind were all imprisoned by Sand Yin to prepare to dry and hang street lamps.
In order to avoid staying too long and leaking his information, Jiraiya stopped dragging his feet and immediately left the country of wind overnight.
And his second stop is in the Land of Rain, where the alliance camp has relatively weak control.
