Ninja Ice House

Maybe there are differences in the form of expression, but the truth is actually the same.Sarutobi Hiruzen's experience limited his vision, but decades of Hokage were not in vain, even if he couldn't see the source of the danger, he instinctively made a bad judgment.

Just like the ecological chain on the grassland, under normal circumstances, carnivores such as tigers, leopards, wolves, etc. will not prey on each other, regardless of whether they can fight or not, and the success rate, rashly attack has sharp teeth and claws, and has a strong ability to resist Other predators are easily injured in the opponent's counterattack.

In a highly competitive environment, survival is not easy. 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 sub-level carnivores, but when elk and antelopes are enough to eat, they will not consider raising the difficulty of survival to hunt another beast.

The competition between ninja villages is roughly similar to this. The Zhongnin Exam is to determine each other's potential and judge whether the existing division of forces is in line with strength.

In the ninja village, the competition is also quite fierce. Once the ability of the ninja to collect money does not widen the gap with that of the ninja and the ninja, its influence and status will also be affected.

It's like the universal education in the previous life, when masters were everywhere, and undergraduates were not as good as dogs, only a Ph.But don't forget that a few decades ago, the admission scores for junior colleges and technical secondary schools once exceeded those of full-time universities and ordinary high schools.The reason for this strange phenomenon is quite simple. In the society at that time, junior college education was enough, and a few more years of time wasted to go to the university. Not to mention the high difficulty, the cost performance of undergraduates did not necessarily exceed that of junior college graduates. It is obviously more cost-effective for ordinary families who do their best to support a student when the upper class starts to make money.

If this phenomenon occurs in Konoha Village, perhaps many Chunin will not have too much motivation to improve themselves, and it is not only dangerous, but also has a much lower success rate to fight for the Jnin promotion qualifications.

"A great schism between the very few elites and the vast majority of civilian ninjas. 』

This is what Hiruzaru Sarutobi is worried about, and it will happen in the next few decades.In that case, the ninja village, whose internal conflicts have not been completely eliminated, may really lose the foundation of its current unity.

The so-called "will of fire" is not omnipotent. Although Konoha ninjas are powerful, their absolute numbers and sizes are nothing compared to the land of fire.

"If the Gusugi family just hit the nail on the head by accident, that's okay.But if this is done deliberately, it will be troublesome. 』

This is not a conspiracy, but an upright conspiracy. The Ninja Village, which obeys the command of the daimyo on the surface, cannot resist this subtle influence.

The Daimyo of the Fire Country is the rightful leader, and Konoha Village is only a vassal morally.

Once turned, Muye Village's main source of income will be cut off; but if the situation develops, Muye Village's autonomy will be severely impacted.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking a pipe, couldn't think of an effective way to improve the situation.This speculation, before it is actually presented, cannot be used as a basis to persuade other counselor elders to take action. ... Even the most sensitive Shimura Danzo would not believe that such an outrageous thing would happen.

『To wipe out the Uchiha family is still too hasty, too anxious. 』

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not support such radical measures, but since he was over [-] years old, his combat power has slipped from the peak, and he realized that his time in power is not long, and his successors are not successful, so let him lead Konoha Village. The old man who had passed through decades also had a little anxiety in his heart, and only then did he have the idea of ​​​​eliminating hidden dangers early and then cultivating successors.

Even if the fifth generation of Hokage is really not capable enough, a "clean" Konoha Village is more suitable for it to pass the initial stage of adaptation.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking of "paving the way for future generations" that Sarutobi Hiruzen's behavior began to become irritable.

The powerful and rebellious Uchiha family is too serious a constraint on Hokage. The highly respected Sarutobi Nippon himself often has fearful thoughts, and the young and lacking prestige of the "newcomer village head" is even more difficult to control. Uchiha, the rampant ninja.

"Manpower is sometimes exhausted, and I can't hold the power forever. Sooner or later, I have to hand it over to a reliable heir. 』

Acquiescing to Shimura Danzo to destroy the Uchiha family, Hiruzaru Sarutobi did not regret it at all, but the change on the night of the family extermination gave the well-informed Hokage III a bad premonition.

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 inside Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen's considerations are not inappropriate, but the slight interference of forces outside Konoha Village makes the ending deviate too far from the original intention.

Of course, the top priority at the moment is to swallow the bait thrown by the Gushan family, and then return the hidden hook.

Until the Hokage House office was filled with choking smoke, Hiruzaru Sarutobi still didn't think of any good solution.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The office door was pushed open, with a serious face, and Inuzuka Chou, who was also wearing a ninja vest on a hot day, walked in.

"Three generations, you called me?"

"Ah."

Knocking on the pipe lightly, putting down his troubled thoughts, Hiruzaru Sarutobi coughed a few times and asked,

"The psychic beast training base jointly established by your Inuzuka family and the Gusugi family is very large?"

"Big is pretty big, but..."

Inuzuka Zuo replied a little embarrassedly,

"The cooperation has been carried out for more than a year, but there is still no profit. It is completely maintained by the purchase 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 Muye Village was quite popular. After so many years, it shouldn't be losing money, right?"

"Indeed."

Inuzuka Hana explained,

"The real reason for the soaring cost is that the standards required by the Gushan family are too high. Large-scale mass production is their first priority, even if the expenditure skyrockets temporarily, they will not hesitate."

"I probably understand."

It doesn't matter how expensive it is now, we can continuously improve the technology and develop high-quality and low-cost veterinary drugs, instead of relying on special drugs and special feeds prepared by one or two special talents to "customize" individual excellent psychic animals. ... In that case, sooner or later, the psychic beast cultivation base will become 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 Chunin and Genin with average aptitude and strength.

"Strive for the largest coverage area, and then dig deep into the value. This is the method that can only be played by Daimyo and Gusugi, who hold the Land of Fire in their hands."Konoha Village... is very difficult to learn. 』

As long as the shipment of universal spirit beasts developed by the Gushan family increases by one percentage point, or the cost is reduced by [-]%, the Gushan family will be able to turn losses into profits, and even make huge profits. Strength will rise with the tide.

Putting it in Muye Village, the number of Chunin and Genin doubled, and the number of Jōnin increased by at most [-]%. If there were any more, it would not be possible to maintain it. In a peaceful age, there is no need for so many masters. Do you get drunk in pubs every day?

I don't have much work to do, and I don't want to idle around and cause trouble when I'm done. It's just right to go to a small gathering and have a few drinks in my spare time.

"As long as the order of one village and one country is not destroyed, there is basically no solution to this situation if we don't turn against the dignitaries of the Fire Nation. 』

This kind of subtle change of moistening things cannot be resisted by shouting a few words of "Konoha spirit".

Inuzukazume asked a little nervously:

"Is there any problem? Our cooperation with Inuzuka and Gusugi is very careful..."

"You worry too much, I'm just curious."

With a smile on his face, Hiruzaru Sarutobi cheerfully relieved,

"I used to be too busy, so I didn't have time to care about the difficulties of the ninjas in the village. The family has a big business, and it's not easy to maintain it. Your Inuzuka has to make a living, and so does Sarutobi. That guy Asma, it's too early to be independent..."

"Now I'm much calmer, not like before, causing trouble."

"I hope so."

I have traveled abroad for several years and been a guardian ninja for several years. I have indeed grown a lot, but in some aspects, it is still a headache.Seeing that it is the age to talk about marriage, the childish performance is not much better than that of a child who is in love.

Gushan Shaodu, who is at the same level as him, is already the father of four children, chatting with Gushan Liuli, Gushan Zhengcheng and his wife, talking about grandchildren, he is really envious of others.

There are so many young girls in the village, and there are also many outstanding female ninjas of the same age. Why must they be hanged on a tree?

Even his old father heard about the fact that his youngest son ate Gushan Shaodufei vinegar, which made Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who was going to be strong all his life, sigh endlessly.Obviously, he was a naughty and unscrupulous child when he was young, but he turned into a pure and innocent elm bump when he grew up.

"Then... do you have any comments on the cooperation with the Gushan family?"

"Don't be nervous, the village has no intention of objecting, let alone asking you to infiltrate the Gushan family to steal any secrets. We are allies who share weal and woe, and there is no need for too many schemes. But..."

After a pause, Sarutobi said with a smile,

"Some time ago, the psychic horses, giant bear shield guards, and wild boar riders in the noble convoy were really interesting, so I was also wondering if I should try it in the village..."... Don't look at the names. It sounds good, wild boars, bears and the like are actually excellent psychic beasts.A charging adult wild boar, even tigers have to shy away from it. In addition, the tough skin on the body surface, the steel needle-like mane, thick fat, and a better sense of smell than most dogs, the overall quality is better than most mounts. , psychic beasts must be strong.

The coercion exuded by the heavily armed wild boar guards and heavy cavalry is really amazing.

Ordinary people always judge specially bred wild boars by raising domestic pigs in captivity, but they are completely wrong.The wild boar is also a very clean animal. It is not a bad thing to like to roll in the mud. The compacted soil can effectively kill parasites.The domestic pigs in the pigpen live with shit, not because they want to, but because they have nowhere else to go.

Privately, the consultant directly under Hokage evaluated several psychic beast mounts, and the wild boar was the highest evaluation.A team of fully armed and gigantic wild boar riders is very likely to resist the attack of a regiment of Chunin, rush forward, and use their equipment advantages to start a massacre.

The second is the giant bear shield guard, whose keen hunting instinct makes assassins invisible, guarding the daimyo's side, and supplemented by guardian ninja, it is extremely difficult for jonin attacks with less than three people to break through the defense.

As for the traditional horse rangers, their frightening endurance makes it basically impossible for the targeted target to escape.

Canine psychic beasts have the highest flexibility, and have the best compatibility with earth attribute ninjutsu. The combination is quite perfect, and the matching of various secret arts is also very good.

"Three generations, you mean that the village also plans to purchase a batch of psychic beasts?"

"You've done so much, besides the charitable aid, you also have the intention of selling it for profit, right? Others can buy it, so Muye Village can naturally..."

"This is good news. Thank you Hokage-sama for your trust. The Inuzuka family will do their best to serve the village."

Inuzukazume was overjoyed.

The family started to promote psychic dogs and veterinarians in Konoha Village a long time ago. It is the first time that it has been recognized at the village level. Inuzuka, who has been tepid, has finally achieved the The status of the deer butterfly is similar.

"You don't need to do that. The purchases in the village have to go through the process. Just follow the normal standards. Business matters stay at the business level. After all, with the share of the Gushan family, you have to worry about the interests of your partners..."

"You are very thoughtful, and you do it."

Watching Inuzuka Zuo, who couldn't suppress the joy on his face, leave, Hiruzaru Sarutobi restrained his smile and sighed softly.

"Because you can't see the way ahead and can't make a choice, then it's good to learn the methods of successful people. 』

Following the tactics is useful in many cases. Hiruza Sarutobi really doesn't know what Gushan Fushui is planning, and he doesn't know how to eliminate the negative impact on Konoha Village. However, the average strength of Konoha Village is still far away. The super ninja world is average, the overall difference is a bit far, but the gold content is extremely high.

If the Gushan family made a mistake, everyone would fall into the pit, and the eldest brother would not be able to laugh at the second brother; if the method worked, the Gushan family would get a big benefit, and Muye village would not be left too far behind because of the "small" benefit. Konoha Ninja's tyrannical individual strength can also retain enough right to speak.

『Only young people can understand the thoughts of young people. For an old man like this, he is already at his limit.As for the future..."

Once again, the matter of cultivating heirs was brought out from the bottom of his heart, and the old man's mood became even worse.

The three disciples are more worry-free than the other.Nara Shikahisa's talent is enough, but his performance is not active enough, and his prestige and strength are slightly insufficient.The younger Hatake Kakashi and his like are not mature enough.

A genius like Namikaze Minato who ascended to the position of Hokage in his early twenties is really hard to come by.If the fourth generation hadn't died young, his strength would definitely have improved to a higher level. How could there be so many broken things now?
