People in Naruto: Hinata's family split? Just open it up!

Sarutobi Hiruzen's level lasted three months.

In the past three months, Sunagakure Village has not attacked again, but has stabilized the border.

But everyone knows that this is just the tranquility before the war.

Sunagakure Village should be researching ways to break Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique. Once they think of a solution, they will immediately launch an attack.

At this time, Konoha's vanguard troops and follow-up troops have arrived. It stands to reason that the opponent has not yet found a way to deal with Minato, so it is a good time to take the initiative to attack.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen sent a letter stating that Konoha cannot take the initiative to enter the Kingdom of Wind and cannot bear the responsibility of invading other countries.

No child would believe such nonsense, but Jiraiya was also a pacifist, so he actually agreed.

As a result, the Konoha army and the Sand Hidden Village troops came to a stalemate at the junction of the Kawa Country and the Wind Country.

The results of Danzo's investigation have also come out.

"Not all towns have formed militia units. After investigation, I found that a total of 27 towns have formed militia units!" Danzo sent the survey results to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "The number of militiamen in these towns ranges from one to two thousand. , as many as seven or eight thousand, generally equipped with wooden armor, leather armor, rattan armor, and some are also equipped with iron armor. The weapons they use are mostly bows and arrows, as well as spears, machetes, kitchen knives, hoes and the like."

"So many?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the summary data. The total number of these militiamen was nearly 20!

"Don't worry, just look at the map!" Danzo said.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and marked these towns on the map one by one.

He didn't know if he didn't mark it, but he discovered it as soon as he marked it.

"Are they all border cities?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"Yes!" Danzo nodded: "These cities are mainly located in the northern part of the Land of Fire, the border area of ​​the Land of Sichuan and the Land of Rain. After investigation, I found that the first city to form a militia was this Red Flower Town."

"Because the Kingdom of Rain is less than 20 miles away from Honghua Town, and there are often scattered ninjas from the Kingdom of Rain who often come to Honghua Town to rob. It happens that there are continuous bamboo forests near Honghua Town, so the residents of Honghua Town He made bows and arrows out of bamboo to protect himself, and the effect was very good. So other towns suffering from wandering ninjas followed suit and formed militia units."

Sarutobi Hiruzen touched his chin, so this is it!

So the border militia was actually forced out by the homeless ninja problem?

Border cities are indeed areas with a high incidence of wandering ninjas. They commit crimes in the Land of Fire and then hide directly in neighboring countries.

There is no one versus four in Konoha now, no treaty has been made, and it is not convenient for ninjas to go to neighboring countries to perform missions. Facing these wandering ninjas, although they are not helpless, the procedures are really troublesome.

We can't station a ninja in every city just to fight against wandering ninjas.

After all, wandering ninjas can communicate with each other. If there are fewer of you stationed, they may gather together and kill this ninja.

If there are more ninjas stationed there, there will be fewer ninjas available in the village, which is also a problem.

It would be a good idea if each town could form a militia to protect itself.

However, if this is the case, it would be hard for Hiruzen Sarutobi to write to the Daimyo to disband these troops.

After all, without the militia, who would fight against the wandering ninjas?

But no matter what, today is the border, and tomorrow it will be the inland's turn. The day after tomorrow, the village next to Konoha may have to form a militia force.

Form a militia?

you can!

But these forces need to be limited and regulated.

For example, there are currently a total of 27 towns with militia, so that’s it. Don’t add any more.

In addition, these militiamen are not allowed to practice chakra extraction methods, their annual training must not exceed two months, and they are not allowed to wear iron armor.

Every month, Konoha will send ninjas to patrol these 27 towns to help control the problem of wandering ninjas. The expenses incurred during this period will be borne by these 27 towns.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wrote down more than a dozen precautions, sorted out the wording, and then handed it to Danzo: "Look, is it feasible to deal with the militia in this way?"

Danzo glanced briefly, then nodded: "Okay!"

Although the militia might affect the ninja's income, Danzo didn't really care.

Anyway, we don’t live by these things at all.

He was willing to do good things just for political exchange with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

I help you, should you help me too?

Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned the ANBU ninja: "Send this to Kyoto, give it to the daimyo, and come back when you get a reply!"

"Yes!" Anbu nodded and left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo: "Tell me, is there anything else?"

"The Akatsuki organization has grown to nearly 50,000 people, and has occupied nearly one-fifth of the towns in the Land of Rain!" Danzo said: "I have also convinced Hanzo, so I have to take the roots out, but The opponent is powerful after all, so I still need your help!"

This version of the Akatsuki organization has been strengthened too much, and the roots that have not been updated are naturally not enough.

"Fifty thousand?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked by this number and asked curiously: "How did they expand and why did they expand so fast?"

"Take care of food and pay wages!" Danzo said.

"What do you mean?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned and asked.

"In short, the core members of the Akatsuki organization are provided with one meal a day. In addition, the Akatsuki organization pays wages to each core member." Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's confused look, Danzo had to add: " It’s a ninja subsidy!”

"Ninja subsidy?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was dumbfounded: "Everyone gets it?"

"Yes!" Danzo nodded.

"How is this possible!" Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up in shock: "That's 50,000 people. How can a mere Akatsuki organization afford it? We in Konoha don't even dare to do that!"

"Can't afford it?" Danzo asked.

"Ah this." Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then sat down again.

For 3 people, a monthly subsidy of 15 taels is only billion per month.

In fact, you won't be able to give out that many. This must be based on your strength.

Fifty thousand jounin, thirty thousand chunin, ten thousand genin, and five thousand for ordinary people is about the same.

The number of ninjas is far less than that, and there are more ordinary people.

On average, one person can earn less than 6,000 yuan.

Fifty thousand people, that’s 3 million taels.

The Akatsuki organization occupied one-fifth of the towns in the Kingdom of Rain and spent 3 million taels of money every month.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is calculated according to Konoha's standards.

Konoha also provides subsidies to ninjas, but not all ninjas, but the civilian members working in the Hokage's office building, the medical ninjas at Konoha Hospital, the ninjas in the Intelligence Department, and all other ninjas working in Konoha.

They couldn't go out to perform tasks, and it was inconvenient to record office work or medical treatment as tasks, so they might as well change their wages to ninja subsidies.

In total, the total number of ninjas receiving subsidies in Konoha is less than 2000, and they have to spend 2000 billion ryo every month.
