I'm reading the manga "Steel Shenshi"

"incredible!"

Obviously, the ground behind him was still a mess.

But after he raised his feet and took a step forward, everything became completely different.

The neat and uniform houses still stood in front of the flat land.

Although many houses still look very simple, they have a grand, clean, and tidy aesthetic.

Compared to the messy appearance of the earth behind them just after the earthquake, the entire Konoha Village looks like this place. Like a paradise

"Oh my God, this, here, here is so good!"

Looking at the village that was still intact after the earthquake, the eyes of many businessmen were shining! The eyes of businessman Capone, who was following Sarutobi Sasuke, were even more excited. What other businessmen saw It is the representative of Konoha Village, which can ensure safety in the face of natural and man-made disasters.

What he sees is extremely strong business opportunities!

What a pity. It can be seen from Sarutobi Sasuke's strong and firm voice just now. attitude on some things.

Otherwise, he would go back and publicize the safety of Konoha Village in the entire Ninja world, attract the most powerful and wealthy people in the entire Ninja world to come and live in

Konoha Village. With a small amount of money from rich businessmen and dignitaries who pay special attention to safety, he can increase his wealth many times before entering Konoha Village. Ninja figure.

He finally grabbed Sarutobi Sasuke and whispered.

"Sasuke-sama, this time, I have found a better way!"

Capone could see that Sasuke Sarutobi wanted more just like him.

But of the two of them, one wanted more wealth, and the other wanted to stand taller in this village!

Hearing Capone Speaking quietly beside him, Sarutobi Sasuke glanced at this guy meaningfully.

Compared with other businessmen, this guy named Capone has a vicious vision and dares to take risks. He is a man who does big things!

If he could learn ninjutsu, he should be able to become an excellent ninja!

"I understand, I will go to the Hokage Building to mention it, and when the time comes, I will let you do it!"

Sarutobi Sasuke returned to the village with the surprised businessmen and the relieved ninjas.

As the first team to come back from outside and bring back a large amount of supplies, they gained the attention of the Hokage Building..

In the Hokage's office, Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama, and Uchiha Izumi are all here to receive the returning Sarutobi Sasuke.

"You did a great job, Sasuke!"

Senju Hashirama looked at this long list of supplies and smiled at the corners of his eyes.

So many things were transported back to the village, and they could be sold in the village at normal goods prices, so the village Everyone, life will be much richer.

"This is what I should do."

Facing Senju Hashirama's praise, Sarutobi Sasuke seemed very humble. At the same time, he also lost no time in telling another situation.

"Lord Hashirama, Lord Madara.

Although we successfully brought back a large amount of supplies this time, on the way back, those who were supposed to follow me to settle here were frightened.

I'm worried that after they go back, they will also make the outside world have a deeper impression of our Konoha Village as a disaster-prone place.

Therefore, I feel that now we should take a step forward and let the businessmen who have truly seen that the village can still maintain its strength and true colors intact in such natural and man-made disasters can spread the news.

At the same time, bring as many people as possible who yearn for life in our Konoha Village to the village to expand the population of the village."

Sarutobi Sasuke spoke for a while, then stopped. He looked at Senju Hashirama's suddenly enlightened look, then looked at the calm faces of Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama, and Uchiha Izuna, and lowered his head. Eyes.

If you don't look at strength and only look at superficial performance, Senju Hashirama is indeed the most unsuitable man among the four to become Hokage.

However, as the god of ninja and the leader of the Senju clan. , How could Senju Hashirama really be a noob who didn’t understand anything?

Sasuke Sarutobi didn’t think so. He still felt that Senju Hashirama was hiding his thoughts in that simple and honest manner, which made him People can't help but get close to him, what's more, under the charming appearance

, coupled with his strength....

Sarutobi Sasuke couldn't help but think of the row of lush trees standing proudly on the dividing line where disaster stopped.

"Sasuke, since you said that, you must have a solution.

Well, let me leave this matter to you.

Moreover, the diplomacy of the village will be left to you in the future. If there is any shortage of people, you can recruit them yourself and then report them.

We will give approval as appropriate and provide financial support based on the situation."

"I see."

Tobirama spoke, and Sarutobi Sasuke took over the job without being humble or condescending, with a smile on his lips.

He finally began to be accepted by the core of power in Konoha Village.

From today on, he will also be on the stage of this village. An inch of space for Sarutobi Sasuke.

He, Sarutobi Sasuke, is about to start his own performance.

"Also, there is a businessman named Capone who helped me and stabilized the team when I encountered this disaster. He can also help us from all over the ninja world and lead people who are willing to come to Konoha to immigrate. village"

"I understand, I will give him a subsidy, but you must let him know the appropriateness, do you understand?"

With Tobirama's permission, Sarutobi Sasuke became more confident.

After leaving the Hokage's office, he quickly found Capone in high spirits and went to discuss things.

And soon there were ninjas in the Hokage's office. I was called to inquire about the businessman Capone.

"It seems that this guy is not a good guy."

Seeing the history of Capone's fortune and the experience of growing stronger step by step, Senju Hashirama frowned a little.

"It doesn't matter now, Sarutobi Sasuke can restrain him, and if he dares to use our name of Konoha Village to cause trouble outside, we will never spare him.

Moreover, a businessman who can start a business in troubled times and gradually grow bigger can have several good things.

Brother, don’t force yourself too much.

At least this Capone is really capable."

Tobirama persuaded his elder brother Hashirama, and then looked at the portrait of Capone's appearance brought by his ninjas. For a moment, he felt a strange feeling.

This guy looks a bit like a person..

Soon, Sarutobi Sasuke informed Capone who was waiting anxiously in the village about the permission he received from the Hokage's office.

"So, Sasuke-sama, is there any good news?"

"The village has agreed with your idea, and if you can safely bring people who are willing to live in the village from outside, the village will give you subsidies.

Moreover, while you are doing business, when the village accepts your escort and protection entrustment, it will give you a good discount!

When you carry out business operations in our Konoha Village, we will also give you tax benefits....��

Hearing this, Capone's eyes suddenly widened.

He looked at Sasuke Sarutobi in front of him, and then at the Hokage Building over there. Sweat began to form on his head.

"Sasuke-sama, is what you said true? Can taxes be collected in Konoha Village?"

"Of course, when Konoha Village was founded, we already had the consent of the daimyo. If you paid the tax with us, and you have the certificate, you don’t have to pay it with the daimyo!"

Capone swallowed. As a businessman, he keenly felt something was wrong.

Konoha Village can actually collect taxes on its own?

Isn't it already equivalent to an independent country in the Fire Country? , a country within a country, a brand new place that belongs to ninjas!

Oh my god, this Konoha Village is really big!

"I see!"

Soon, Capone took the merchants and started to set off with some things produced in Konoha Village to sell in other places.

In Konoha Village, there are strict regulations that prohibit merchants from hoarding or selling. Make a fortune.

So after this disaster that did not affect Konoha Village, the prices of food and various daily necessities remained stable.

But outside, it was not just them. Merchants, even daimyo, and nobles were personally punished, and while many places in the Fire Country were affected by this horrific earthquake, they continued to raise the prices of food and other supplies, making a lot of money for a while. Suddenly , the Fire Nation, which had just calmed down for less than a year, suddenly became full of resentment and complaints.

But how could the nobles of the Fire Nation care about the lives of a group of common people?

I don't care if I can squeeze out the last bit of flesh and blood from ordinary people today!

They use loan sharks to induce poor people to take away their land, wives and children when they can't afford the money.

At this time, Kado still has one. A small group of businessmen were running around in the disaster-stricken area of the Land of Fire.

In a village, Capone was followed by the ninja sent to him by Sarutobi Sasuke. He frowned and walked into the impoverished village. The sound of sound rang out, and the wandering warrior following the servant of the noble master was holding a knife and looking at the poor villagers begging for him with bloodthirsty eyes.

"You haven't paid back the money yet, right? Then just use your wife and children to pay off the debt!"

"No, no, please!"

Brush!

Seeing that this guy still wanted to stand in front of him, the wandering warrior felt that he already had an excuse. He waved the knife in his hand and slashed at the person in front of him.
