Chapter 574 Hua Ling: Let Konoha be our boss

When Karin knew Kakashi was going back to Konoha, she immediately expressed her desire to go with him.

The reason why Kakashi agreed to let Karin follow him back to Konoha was certainly not because Kakashi had any special feelings for Karin.

Well, there are some actually.

But the more important reason...

In fact, there is another side to this as well.

……

"Oh? This girl wants us from Konoha to help their village?"

Yuya raised an eyebrow when he heard Kakashi explain Hanasuzu's purpose in coming to Konoha.

Hua Ling bowed to Youya and then said pleadingly: "Yes, our village has been occupied by the members of the Night Moon Clan of the Hidden Cloud Village. Our leader would like to ask the Hokage of Konoha Village to help our village drive away the members of the Night Moon Clan."

Hua Ling's expression was very sincere.

It's not okay to be insincere, after all, you are asking others for help.

You Ya put his hands in his sleeves and looked calm: "I have learned about your village. There have been caravans from Konoha Village who have visited your village, but your village has always been very closed. After the Konoha caravans went there several times, your village was closed to prevent the Konoha caravans from going there again.

How could such a blockaded country be targeted by the Yeyue Family of the Hidden Cloud Village and successfully enter your village?"

Youya looked at Hua Ling in confusion.

He was indeed puzzled.

after all……

"Key Village is also a member of the Ninja World United Conference. Could it be that the Night Moon Clan ignored the rules and regulations of the United Conference and forced their way into your village?"

Hua Ling's expression suddenly became embarrassed.

Well, the people of Key Village are definitely not like those idiots in Bear Village who kill other people's clansmen.

But the stupider thing about Key Village is...

The people of the Yeyue clan were invited to the village by themselves.

To put it simply, one of the representatives of the two parties that were originally fighting each other went to the Hidden Cloud Village to ask the Hidden Cloud Village to support them against the other party.

When the Yeyue clan saw this, they were shocked. Is there such a good thing?!

What else is there to say? Lead the way, I have to support you today!

Then after he went there, he did help this side seize power successfully.

But it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. The people of the Yeyue clan stayed there after they went there.

The current leader of the Key Village, the guy who succeeded in taking power with the help of the Yeyue Clan, has repeatedly hinted that the Yeyue Clan can leave, and they can give certain rewards and resources in return.

But how could the people of the Yeyue clan be so stupid?

No matter how much money and resources you have, they are only temporary. I control you. Although not all of your resources are ours, at least a part of them are always ours.

I can only say that under Yuya's example, there are more and more smart people in the ninja world now.

Or you could put it this way.

It’s not that there are more smart people, it’s just that some people are looking further ahead.

In the past, many people pursued short-term benefits.

For example, the trade contracts between the various ninja villages that Youya signed were signed on a one-year basis, but now many ninja villages want to sign them for five or even ten years.

why?

Because this way you can get a stable and long-term source of income.

For example, in the Hidden Mist Village, although the fishing contract is renewed with Youya every year, the price changes every year.

Maybe there was a typhoon this year, which led to a decrease in fish supplies, so the price will naturally increase.

Maybe this year the weather is good and the cabin is full, so the price will drop a little.

This one-year contract looks great.

But the more the people of the Hidden Mist Village calculated the account, the more they felt something was wrong.

That's not right, isn't our contract for one year? How come this amount of money... doesn't seem to be much more?

Later, Mei Terumi of the Hidden Mist Village carefully calculated and found that there was no problem with the annual contract in theory.

However, we have to spend half a month or even a month every year to come to Konoha to sign the contract, and the time cost is really high.

Think about it, a senior official in a department doesn't work for at least half a month every year. At least in the Hidden Mist Village, there is no work.

This situation is very scary.

The losses caused are not at all what the little money earned every year can bring.

At least……

In the next half month, these people's work will be in my hands.

Karuji Yagura doesn't have to care about these things. After all, although he looks like a child, he is very old and even has grandchildren.

But Mei Terumi can't do that.

She’s almost 30 years old and she doesn’t even have a boyfriend, let alone a husband!

Is this still the Kage from one of the five great ninja villages? !

Besides...

The impact of absenteeism for half a month is more than just this. Many problems that could have been dealt with in a timely manner now require waiting.

This loss cannot be compared with the little benefit brought by a one-year contract.

Therefore, starting last year, the contract signed between the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Leaf Village was for five years.

Other villages also discovered this one after another.

After all, the person they sent to negotiate the contract couldn't be of low status, but the higher the status, the more problems there would be.

Just give up a small profit.

Therefore, the entire ninja world now basically looks at issues from a very long-term perspective.

So are the long-term problems related to the Yeyue clan?

Naturally there is.

The Yeyue clan naturally chose the follow-up after having a full meal or a full meal.

The profits may be smaller in the first three to five years, but after five years, every year’s income will be pure profit.

How could they choose to leave Key Village when there is such a good thing?

The leader of Hualing was helpless. After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and decided to ask Konoha for help.

Although both Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village are not good people, at least the ninja clan in Konoha Village has a better reputation!

For example, if you look at the Whirlpool Country, the two previous governors, Mitokado En and Namikaze Minato, did not interfere too much in the internal affairs of the Whirlpool Country. They just held power. Basically, most of the interests in the Whirlpool Country were used in the Whirlpool Country.

But the Yeyue clan is different...

They came here originally to plunder, how could they be like Namikaze Minato and Mitokaze En?

Simply put, the power is still in your hands, but you have to share some of your village’s minerals and assets with us.

There is no way the leader of Hualing can endure this.

After much thought, it would be better to involve Konoha Village as well.

At least Konoha Village just wants to control the village. Even if they control the highest power at that time, at least they are still the ones who do things. In a sense, the power is still in their hands.

As for the Yeyue Clan...

You don't really think they have no rights?

If I really don't have the power...

Why are you still shamelessly staying in the village? !

After hearing what Hua Ling said, You Ya fell silent.

Ah this...

In his two lifetimes, this was the first time that You Ya heard of someone actively asking someone else to be his boss.
