Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide! - Chapter 216
c215 Build the ninja school in the village!
Praising and worshiping without a name, entering the court without following, going to the palace with swords and shoes, and conferring titles to princes?
Everyone in the audience was shocked at first when they heard this reward, but then they felt relieved after thinking about it for a while.
This level of reward given to Gui Deng Xinyue proves one thing, that is, in the previous incident, Gui Deng Xinyue was on the side of the rich in the water capital.
It was even precisely because Gui Deng Xinyue fell to Shui Dufu that the current ending happened.
Therefore, with such thoughts, the noble officials were unhappy that such a weakling as Gui Deng Xinyue had climbed onto their heads, but under Shuidu Fu’s “prestige”, they had no choice but to accept it.
Of course, Gui Deng Xinyue was Shui Jingtai’s “adopted son”, which more or less eliminated some of the barriers in their hearts.
Gui Deng Xinyue, who was standing first on the left, was secretly observing the expressions of everyone present with great interest.
Since the battle with Kakuzu was completed a week ago, he has been secretly dispatching forces, and with the cooperation of Kusaka Masato, he has the bottom line on the situation in the Kingdom of Water.
Since Gui Deng Xinyue helped him avenge his great revenge, Kusaka Masato can now be said to be Gui Deng Xinyue’s loyal Ma Zai.
However, out of caution, he still let the Blood Pond Ryoma cast an illusion spell in Kusaka Masato’s mind.
With the help of Kusaka Masato, Shui Jingtai’s favorite, and using Shuidu Fu’s banner, Ghost Light Xinyue had a preliminary grasp of the general situation of the entire Water Kingdom within a week.
Well, the situation is quite different from what Gui Leng Xinyue expected.
The entire Water Kingdom has been under the governance of Shui Jingtai for decades and is about to be ruined.
In other words, it was only because of the existence of military forces like ninjas who wielded extraordinary power that there was no resistance to the rebels.
And the most important thing is that the food output of the Water Country is falling every year. Therefore, the number of people who fall prey to bandits in the Kingdom of Water is still increasing every year.
Therefore, in view of the above situation, Ghost Light New Moon finally asked Shuidu Fu to issue his first order after taking office as daimyo.
“When I was a prince, I often went on patrol incognito to observe the people’s sentiments. The hardship of people’s lives really made me see it and it hurt in my heart!”
Shui Dufu’s first words almost made everyone present laugh. After all, everyone knew who he was before.
It is possible that he went on patrol incognito, but his purpose was definitely not to understand the sentiments of the people, but it was possible that he raped women from the people.
However, the people present were all professionally trained, and with the wealth and reputation of Shuidu, naturally no one without foresight would expose this matter.
“…After my research, I found that there are two problems that need to be solved in the Water Kingdom today.”
Shui Dufu stretched out two fingers and said with a serious face: “The first is that the food output of the Kingdom of Water is declining day by day. The second is that the country is full of bandits.”
“In response to these two points, after long thought, I came up with a solution.”
Everyone present pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Shui Dufu’s words, wanting to see what his first order was after taking office.
“That is to expand the scale of low-level ninjas!”
“If those farmers could learn how to use chakra, wouldn’t they be able to open up more fields and complete farm work more efficiently?”
“If there are enough low-level ninjas, can’t we send people to eliminate those bandits?”
“So I decided to set up a ninja academy in every village to teach some children how to use chakra!”
Shui Dufu announced proudly.
“…”
Everyone present heard what Shui Dufu said, thought about it in their minds, and found that this method was really good.
The most important thing is that the power to collect taxes is in your own hands. The more farmers learn chakra and produce more food, doesn’t it mean the more they harvest!
And if farmers have learned how to use chakra, doesn’t that mean they can work longer!
Doesn’t this also mean that their wealth has increased much more than before!
After thinking this, everyone present felt that this was a good idea, but before they agreed, a trembling voice sounded.
“Your Highness Daimyo, you also know that there are some unscrupulous people who like to fight against the imperial court. What if they master the power of this chakra and gather people to plot evil?”
As soon as these words came out, many nobles present suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
As nobles, they naturally understood the meaning behind that person – what if those mud-legged people learned chakra and couldn’t stand the oppression of themselves and others and smeared themselves in the middle of the night?
After all, those ninjas are the best at this. What if they learn the real thing from the ninja academy and use it on themselves?
Everyone present was staring at Shui Dufu, wanting to see how he would reply.
“My step-brother gave me advice on this.”
Mizutomi looked at Kito Shinetsu and smiled, “The teachers at the Ninja Academy come from Kirigakure Village, and they only teach how to use chakra, and do not teach specific ninjutsu or throwing methods of ninja tools.”
“And if some of those children have really good ninja talents, after being recommended by the teachers in Kirigakure Village, they can be sent to Kirigakure Village for further ninja training.”
“In this way, even though those farmers have learned chakra, they can only use it to improve their physical fitness but not their combat effectiveness.”
“The most wonderful thing is that this way, a large number of low-level ninjas can be added to eliminate bandits.”
The nobles thought about it carefully and found that there was no harm in doing so for the time being. On the contrary, it was beneficial to them, so they all agreed to this proposal.
As Shui Dufu’s first proposal, as long as it was not to rob their homes, everyone would probably give him this face.
What’s more, this proposal seemed to be beneficial to them?
“Short-sighted people.”
Kizuki Shingetsu looked at the people present and despised them in his heart.
As his first order after taking control of the power of the Water Country, this order was naturally not as simple as Shui Dufu said.
The primary purpose of Kizuki Shingetsu to establish ninja schools in various villages was naturally to collect children with ninja talents from the entire Water Country through these ninjas.
There are geniuses among the civilians, this is beyond doubt.
But the probability is too small.
So Kizuki Shingetsu wanted to expand the number of screening as much as possible, relying on the Water Country, and search for geniuses among the civilians through these ninja schools.
The selection method is also simple, which is to look at the amount of chakra and the speed of chakra refining, and at most add physical fitness.
Although limited by the fact that these people don’t have enough food on weekdays, talents may not be seen in these aspects.
However, as long as each school selects the best child of the same age in the village to send to the Hidden Mist Village every year, Kizuna Shingetsu believes that the backbone of the Hidden Mist Village will be extremely full in a few years.
In addition to selecting civilian talents, the most important role of this ninja school is to help Kizuna Shingetsu control the grassroots administrative districts of the Water Country.
Kizuna Shingetsu deeply understands that the key to truly mastering the Water Country is not whether he can suppress those nobles, but whether he can truly master the grassroots units of the Water Country.
As long as he masters these, those nobles and the court will be in his hands.
For him, who was born as a ninja, it is impossible to do this under normal circumstances, but this ninja school is located in the village, which can solve these problems.
This move is to imitate the old soldiers in the early Han Dynasty who retired and returned to serve as village heads and pavilion heads. First, send your own people to these points, and then use the opportunity of teaching chakra, this extraordinary power, to subtly influence and master these villages.
Kizuki Shingetsu planned to send all the disabled or retired Genin in the village to be teachers in this ninja academy.
The villages in the Land of Water only have a few hundred at most, and the Hidden Mist Village can still offer these hundreds of disabled and retired Genin.
