After nearly a month of arduous negotiations, the Daimyo and the Hokage finally reached a preliminary consensus. As for the details, Gushan Bushui was not directly involved, and the news that came out was not unexpected.
The official establishment of Konoha ninja will not be limited to Konoha villagers. I have done this before, but this is the first time it has been put down on paper in the form of rules and regulations.
Naruto is still the absolute leader of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, but the direct jurisdiction of Konoha Ninja has the possibility of being mixed with sand. Children like Shiro, Yayoi, Korin, and other children who are related to the daimyo and the Furusugi family will become official ninjas in the future and will still be dispatched by the Hokage, but they will operate externally in a "one organization, two brands" manner.
Unlike the guardian ninja, neither the daimyo nor the Furusugi family thought of putting these children who came to Konoha Village ninja school into public schools. Instead, they prepared to "cooperate and build" with Konoha Village as a private organization. Get benefits without enjoying righteousness, so as not to irritate the sensitive nerves of Konoha ninjas.
The nominal partner is the "Fighters Alliance" that Gushan Bushui spent many years building. This organization, which spreads throughout the entire ninja world, has considerable influence, and the interests of its radiation influence have attracted the attention of half of the Fire Nation.
These children with overlapping ownership rights will be marked on their files as the top talents of the "King of Fighters" youth group sponsored by the "Fighters Alliance", and being sent to the Konoha Ninja School for further study is part of the reward.
To put it bluntly, it is a cooperation agreement that entrusts cultivation, plus the right of Konoha Village to select in advance. The key is that these children who are favored by all parties must be respected for which side they choose.
Whether or not talents can be retained depends on the capabilities of each party.
In addition, there are a small number of students who are recommended by Konoha Ninja Inaba Academy and are qualified to be selected as official ninjas by Konoha Village only if they meet certain conditions. These people, Gushan Bushui, are going to be used as high-level technicians. It may not be suitable for them to go to the battlefield with their hands stained with blood. It is still okay to earn a high salary and support their family in Hukou with their superficial abilities.
In addition to the formal terms of cooperation, there are also some additional conditions, such as: not preventing Konoha ninjas and current students from participating in the "King of Fighting" challenges at all levels, supplementary rewards for retired ninjas to be re-employed, etc.
In the "King of Fighting" challenge that will start on Yuqi Island in April this year, more than a dozen students and a team of genin will hold "wild cards" and join from the rematch.
For the first time, ninjas from the five major ninja villages participated in the "private competition" run by Gusugi Bosui for more than ten years, which can be regarded as the "King of Fighting" reputation.
Without the participation of the Ninjas of Ninja Village, no matter how exciting the game is, it always feels like something is missing.
As various gossips spread, more and more admiring experts will come to Yuqi Island to try their hand at it. The "Wild Fox Zen" of all parties will compete with the main masters on the same stage, and soon it will no longer be a gimmick.
In order to consolidate this influence, Gusugi Bushui decided to send invitations to several well-known young talents in the ninja world, including some ninjas from the Ninja Village.
If ninjas can really be included in the category of "fighters", Gushan Bushui's idea for more than ten years will finally be initially realized.
Letting "fighters" and ninjas compete on the same stage is only the first step. If ninjas, a fighting profession that does not deserve its name and has long since left its original form, are brought into the same standard as other groups that rely on force to earn a living, there will be something beyond the ninja village. Influence.
Ninja and ninjutsu have become a school of fighters, on an equal footing with samurai, swordsmen, battle priests, shrine maidens, psychics, etc. It can be discussed whether this world should be called the "ninja world".
After reading through the specific agreement, Gushan Bushui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it is written down and signed, it is evidence. The daimyo who holds the righteousness can gradually encroach on the rights of the ninja village until it is completely controlled.
A hole has been opened in the talent supply system, the financial lifeline has been obtained, and the Uchiha family is a future problem, which is enough.
Just waiting for Orochimaru's backlash, Uchiha Sasuke defected.
In the original timeline, so many villains were successfully cleared and returned. This time, Gusugi Bushui did not want to make a world in which only Konoha Village the winner become a reality.
"Are you...satisfied? I don't see any special benefits..."
After resting for a long time, Otsutsuki Kaguya finally recovered a little strength and asked doubtfully,
"Konoha Village seems to have nothing to lose. Instead, it has several more channels to replenish talents."
"You do not understand."
Gu Shan Bu Shui chuckled and shook his head.
"The population of Konoha Village at its peak was only three to four hundred thousand, and the number of residents in the entire Fire Country was hundreds of times that of Konoha Village. Even if Konoha Village is really a chosen place with talents emerging in large numbers, in the end it will still be It's only so big, and compared to the entire Fire Nation, it's not at the same level. In the long run, maybe their inheritance can guarantee the quality of top experts, but the large number of chuunin and genin will definitely be filled with visitors from outside the village."
As long as the talents trained in the ninja school can ensure that they ignore differences in status, the final composition will be roughly similar to the population ratio.
Geniuses such as Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuga Neji have no hope. Are the other children of civilian ninjas sure to stand out from hundreds of times more competition from children outside the village?
"The foundation of Naruto's power is in Konoha Village, which consists of small and medium-sized ninja clans and civilian ninja families. If your children's opportunity to go to school and their hope of getting ahead are robbed by a large number of outside children, what do you think will happen?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya was startled when he heard this, and then he immediately came to his senses.
"The will of fire, the spirit of Konoha, although the Sandaime has developed this thing and attaches great importance to it, it is probably unclear how important it is. Only you who understand the true meaning of power and have been a 'human master' nobleman for thousands of years Only the younger generation can realize this.”
Gushan Bu Shui smiled reservedly:
"On the stage in Konoha Village, the Senju family and the Uchiha family are responsible for setting up the stage, and those who perform on the stage are civilian ninjas whose names are difficult to remember. If the Hokage does not realize this key, a generation of Time, no one cares about the spirit of Konoha anymore."
A leader who cannot safeguard his own interests will be abandoned sooner or later.
Naruto will become the Hokage of the entire Fire Country ninja, not the Hokage of Konoha Village.
After leaving Konoha Village, even the Hokage has nothing to fear?
Which Konohagakure ninja can truly shake the order of the world ruled by the Daimyo and the Furusugi family?
I'm afraid you can only have that ability if you become a Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki.
"You are so treacherous, but won't the Konoha villagers resist?"
"That's why I have to provide them with another way out. If you don't become a Konoha ninja, you can live a happy life, for example..."
Speaking of this, Gu Shan Bu Shui thought about it again,
"Indeed, Cousin Zhiji cannot just use economic means to squeeze him out. He has to show his surrender to the 'compradors' and follow the 'foreign masters', no, they follow the Gushan family. The golden tickets are huge. The flower girl gets what she wants, don't wait too long, the little brat playing ninja games on the streets of Konoha Village might start playing workplace bullying games."
Silently reforming the order of the entire Konoha Village, elevating the Hokage and the Konoha Village advisors led by the Hokage, by the time they reacted, it was already too late.
Of course, during this process, you must also find something for Konoha Village to do. Don't just stare at the three-acre land under your feet.
For example, Orochimaru, the remnants of Uchiha who may have survived, the lingering "Akatsuki" organization, the ambitious Kumo ninja and Iwa ninja, the Suna ninja who wants to use his underwear as a gambling table, etc., all of them are worth it. The Leaf Village went all out to prevent it.
In addition, Danzo Shimura, an ambitious man, can also provide some financial support. Considering that he has begun to use the forbidden technique, Fuzhi Reincarnation, and obtained a relatively young and healthy body, the next step is how to become Hokage and then dominate the ninja world. It’s time to put it on the agenda.
"Seeing your smiling face after your conspiracy has succeeded, I feel so treacherous. Can't you just convince the Konoha ninjas to work for you?"
"War is not only about bloodshed and sacrifice. Losing the war behind the scenes is sometimes even worse than losing in a head-on conflict."
Think about it, most of the Konoha ninjas in the future will grow up outside the Konoha Village. Their relatives and friends are all under the rule of the daimyo. They will carry the rice bowl of the Furusugi family, complete the tasks entrusted by the Furusugi family, and start a family and start a business in the village. Besides, Konoha Village is still the same Konoha Village, but it can never go back to the past.
The land in the entire Konoha Village is very limited, but the population is large. In the next twenty years, Kosugi Bosui plans to drive up the price of the land here. To start a family, you will have to take on a thirty-year loan. If you are born without a house, you will live in poverty for the rest of your life. There is basically no hope of buying a house and settling down in Konoha Village.
In this way, there are definitely not many outsiders who have a sense of belonging to Konoha Village. Local people with a little bit of ability will not be reduced to rubbish in such a ghost place. As long as they leave Konoha Village, they are not all ancient cedars. Family food?
The world is a big net. Once you fall into it, it is difficult to escape. Destiny also prepares the future path for everyone. Gushan Bushui thinks that he is not yet at the level where he can manipulate the ninja world by applause, but with a little control over the direction, it is still not a problem.
Overthrowing the Leaf Village is not the goal. Recruiting this force that is outside the Land of Fire is the ultimate goal.
Now, including the third generation of Hokage and Hiruzen Sarutobi, they are quite satisfied with this cooperation and are completely unaware of the huge risks hidden behind it.
Also, Konoha Village was founded less than sixty years ago. Most of the time it was either preparing for war or fighting with other ninja villages. The rest of the comfortable years were also hindered by various tasks in improving governance capabilities. .
Compared with the Furusugi family, which has a recorded history of more than a thousand years, the degree of "regularity" of the power in Konoha Village is not on the table.
"Ancestors, it is too idealistic to want to confront the Leaf Village head-on or use roundabout and gentle methods to make the Leaf Village surrender. We must give full play to our strengths, avoid using our shortcomings to conflict with the Leaf Village, and make full use of our great righteousness and our huge size. With the advantage, we can continuously attack the small but strong fortress of Konoha Village from all directions. Until its foundation is destroyed by corruption, it is time to completely collapse its resistance. Now, we still have to wait..."
All the old men who have witnessed the Warring States Period are dead. It is time for the new generation of young people to step onto the stage and the competition begins.
"It's a good idea. Who knows whether it can come true?"
The goddess Uno is actually not very interested in the progress of conquering Konoha Village. She just has nothing else to do and is just a little concerned about it.
"Let's not talk about this first. On Orochimaru's side, from the connection between 'Wedge' and Mohu, I found that he is trying to speed up the thawing speed and study what happened to him..."
"What's wrong? That person is very curious about everything unknown. It's impossible not to do some research."
"If he is as good as you say, he might be able to crack some of the secrets of the 'Wedge' and the Otsutsuki clan's bloodline. If so, will it lead to an out-of-control incident?"
"Well, this is a bit worrying. Let's find something for him to do. By the way, Konoha Village has been quite busy recently. There is still manpower to investigate the remnants of the Uchiha family."
After thinking for a moment, Gushan Bushui responded,
"Releasing the news, it was said that Orochimaru secretly dug up the grave of the first Hokage, stole a large number of Hashirama cells, and used forbidden techniques to reproduce most of the wood escape abilities."
As long as this news is released, Konoha Village will definitely devote some of its energy to tracking down the news about Orochimaru.
The tomb of Senju Hashirama was dug, but it couldn't be covered up at all. No one paid attention to it before, so few people discovered it. As long as you investigate, there will definitely be results. Next, there is the question of how to pursue and kill him. Even if it is just a show, he must continue. Although the Senju family has disappeared and scattered in all directions, they are not dead after all. Tsunade is just gone, not dead. The Leaf Village still expects her to raise a big flag and gather the hearts of the elderly and the young, but she cannot let her know that she is After his grandfather died, his grave was stolen and the village remained indifferent.
"Let's do it this way. Let the underground bounty move us. There won't be any reliable help for a long time."
If you meet Kakuzu who is greedy for money, or the Red Sand Scorpion who wants to kill Orochimaru and then make a quick move, you have to give a hint of Orochimaru's location and ask them to find trouble for Orochimaru.
】
It takes time for the "wedge" to thaw. Every minute and second it passes, it will sink deeper into the "container" until it is completely integrated and can no longer be separated.
…
At the same time, Orochimaru was thinking about how to use a knife on himself to alleviate the changes in mental obsession and physical incoordination.
The "Drive Shell", which was supposed to be able to be used for many more years and fully exerted its strength, had an unexpected mutation. In such a short period of time, Orochimaru felt that the amount of chakra had been greatly improved, and his physical strength, mental strength, explosive power and recovery ability had increased significantly.
The changes in his body, coupled with the changes in his soul, gave Orochimaru a bad premonition, and he couldn't help but think of changing to another "container" to get out of trouble.
