Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide! - Chapter 234

c233 The breakdown of the coalition

The four Genin road-building teams here are just a microcosm of the current Water Country architecture. Such scenes can be said to be everywhere in the land of Water Country.

Not only in terms of road construction, but also in railway construction, housing construction and even agricultural cultivation and harvesting, the Genin teams of Kirigakure Village can be said to have played a huge role.

In the field of agricultural production, without any ninjutsu, the physical strength of a Genin is enough to reclaim dozens of acres of land.

In the links of agricultural sowing, irrigation, and harvesting, the ninja’s own ninjutsu provides more possibilities for these links.

For example, the simplest C-level ninjutsu “Wind Release·jutsu” is so efficient in harvesting that it is hard to tell how much it is compared to ordinary people. The harvesting speed per unit area of ​​land is even comparable to the large agricultural machinery of Kizuna Shingetsu in his previous life.

It is for this reason that Kirigakure Village established the Kirigakure Agricultural Company to handle agricultural-related affairs within the territory of Water Country.

However, the main members of this Kirigakure Agricultural Company are not the official ninjas of Kirigakure Village, but the students of Kirigakure Ninja School.

This kind of farm work is not a war. With the physical fitness of the students in the ninja school and the ninjutsu they learned during school, they are already enough to deal with this level of tasks.

Moreover, doing so can not only maximize the use of this group of cheap labor, but more importantly, it can exercise the physical fitness of these students.

Speaking of doing farm work, the first picture that flashed in the mind of Hozuki Shingetsu was the scene in the early stage of Dragon Ball, when Sun Wukong and Krillin followed Master Kame carrying dozens of kilograms of turtle shells to deliver milk and do farm work.

So Hozuki Shingetsu simply borrowed it directly, using contribution points as a temptation to make these students carry out agricultural operations under the weight, and called it extracurricular practical work.

These students who were brainwashed by Hozuki Shingetsu naturally had no objection, and at the cost of a little contribution point, they became labor dispatch workers of the Kirigakure Agricultural Company.

In addition to the agricultural field, in terms of housing construction, Hozuki Shingetsu also ordered Kirigakure to establish the Kirigakure Real Estate Development and Construction Company.

This company is affiliated with the Kirigakure Village Property Committee. Due to the Kirigakure Village background of the company, this company is mainly responsible for real estate development in the Land of Water.

For ordinary housing, it is very simple and still looks normal.

Earth escape and water escape ninjutsu are used in succession to lay the foundation, transport building materials, glue, etc., which is essentially no different from road construction, that is, civil engineering.

For those rich people, or buyers with special needs, the Kirigakure Village Real Estate Development and Construction Company naturally has its corresponding construction methods.

And the development method is also very simple, very ninja-like-that is, using “Earth escape·Active transformation” for real estate development.

This ninjutsu is essentially a summoning technique. Before using it, the terrain or building prepared in advance needs to be sealed in a sealed map. When using it, it is similar to summoning. The caster bites his finger to summon the pre-built house from another space.

This ninjutsu was originally mastered by Yamato’s subordinates, one of the twelve guardian ninjas who guarded the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

In the original work, this guy cooperated with the other twelve guardian ninjas to launch a surprise attack on Konoha, and used this trick to besiege the Yamato team in the surprise attack.

However, since Kizuki Shingetsu needed it, with the strength of the Hidden Mist Village at this time, this ninja named Fudo could only hand over the training method of this ninjutsu with the cooperation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen even if he was unwilling.

Due to the convenience of this ninjutsu, Kizuki Shingetsu even planned to transform the Hidden Mist Village Real Estate Development and Construction Company into a ninja engineering team on the spot during the war, that is, to use the convenience of summoning buildings with this “Earth Escape·Active Transformation” to prepare a large number of war fortresses or solid civil engineering in advance and seal them in the sealed map in advance.

When the war starts, when the ninjas need to seize a place or snipe the enemy somewhere, the ninja engineering team will be ordered to use this ninjutsu to quickly build a defensive fortification.

At present, the only shortcoming of this ninja engineering team may be the number of earth escape ninjas.

The Hidden Mist Village may be close to the sea, and the ninjas here generally have wind and water chakra attributes, but there is a lack of ninjas with fire and lightning chakra attributes.

In this case, the number of ninjas who can use earth escape cannot be said to be few, but it is definitely not many.

The ninjutsu “Earth escape·Active transformation” is not difficult or easy, but it is not something that a normal ninja can master.

So this has become an important factor limiting the size of the ninja engineering team.

However, when the East Continent Ninja School opens in a few years, a large number of outstanding ninja students from the East Continent will come to the Hidden Mist Village, and this restriction may be solved.

Now, since it is not a war period, the main responsibility of this engineering team is to build houses and make profits for the village.

——

The Land of Water, the newly built port city of Luqian City in the west, is an important place for the Hidden Mist Village Real Estate Development and Construction Company to show its skills.

Since Kizuki secretly controls the major policies of the Land of Water, and the Hidden Mist Village has completed industrialization, the Land of Water will naturally vigorously develop commerce and open more ports for business.

Although the Hidden Mist Village has now become the largest commercial trade center in the Land of Water, it still has military attributes and cannot expand its trade volume endlessly.

So under the orders of Shuidu Fu (x) and Gui Deng Xinyue (√), the Kingdom of Water selected several port cities as important nodes for the further development of the foreign trade network of the Kingdom of Water.

Luqian Port was selected under this background as a port city for expansion.

At present, with the help of dozens of Mist Ninjas, wide streets and standard houses are rising from the ground at a rapid speed in Luqian Port, and the port, which is a key construction project, is also being built from scratch at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Oh my God… It turns out that ninjas can do this kind of work?”

The official sent here by Shuidu Fu looked at this scene and was surprised.

As a senior official of the Kingdom of Water, he had naturally hired ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village before, but his purpose of hiring ninjas was also to value their military strength.

But the scene in front of him made him deeply understand that although the ninjas performed well in military strength, they were also good at architecture.

“Yes, I used to treat these peasants as thugs, which seemed to be a waste of talent. Now it seems that these guys are doing the right thing!”

The local nobles of Luqian Port sighed as they looked at the scene in front of them.

Boom!

At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from a distance. A ninja was standing on an open space not far from the port and biting his thumb.

Accompanied by the performance of ninjutsu, a vast and majestic building rose from the ground. It was the official residence of the Luqian Port management officials.

This scene, which was like a “miracle” for ordinary people, shocked ordinary people beyond words, and undoubtedly greatly increased the reputation of the Hidden Mist Village.

And thanks to the fact that Luqian Port was an important node selected by the Water Country to expand trade and openness, what happened here was also constantly spread to the Ninja Continent with the merchants coming and going.

While the reputation of the Kirigakure Construction Company has increased greatly and many foreign orders have been received, the various changes that have taken place in the Land of Water have inevitably spread to the ears of other countries, ninja villages and other forces.

When the daimyos of the four major countries of Fire, Thunder, Wind and Earth heard about this, they were surprised at the role played by the ninjas in the production field and did not have any other reaction except for chatting about it.

However, the four ninja villages of Konoha, Sand Village, Rock Village and Cloud Village were very excited about the new uses of ninjas developed by the Kirigakure.

After all, for these four ninja villages that have just recovered from the Second Ninja World War, funds are undoubtedly the biggest temptation.

Moreover, the essence of ninjas accepting commissions is actually to exchange force for funds, and even the purpose of establishing a ninja village is to sell their own force in exchange for the country’s military expenses to maintain themselves.

In essence, the relationship between the ninja village and the country is just a transaction.

So these four ninja villages are naturally envious of the Kirigakure Construction Company, which has made a lot of money by contracting major national construction projects.

After all, the most profitable project since ancient times is to contract national projects, and the “good” relationship between the Hidden Mist Village and the official of the Land of Water does not need to worry about not being able to recover the balance.

Therefore, the funds earned by the Hidden Mist Village in the “First Five-Year Plan” launched by the Land of Water can be predicted, and such a huge amount of funds will naturally make the other ninja villages jealous.

So naturally, the other ninja villages have established village-owned construction companies, hoping to eat a piece of fat in this field.

But unfortunately, countries are different from each other, and not all national governments are willing to engage in such infrastructure projects.

After all, this kind of large-scale infrastructure with high investment and slow returns must be led by the country, which means that it will inevitably consume a lot of national funds.

For the daimyo of these countries, there are only a few roads that can be taken. It is enough to ensure that several major cities in the country are connected by roads. There is no need to build roads in other remote places.

And not only the daimyo, but also the nobles in the country have this idea.

The cost of building so many roads is undoubtedly huge, and all this money comes from the national treasury. As we all know, the money in the national treasury does not belong to the country, but to the nobles. If you want to get money from them to build roads for the country…

Are you crazy? ——

“Lord Raikage, the daimyo has rejected our construction company’s proposal to contract the construction of roads within the Land of Thunder.”

In the Hidden Cloud Village, the Raikage Building, the Third Raikage was holding a huge dumbbell while listening to the report from the dodai.

Sweat continued to emerge from the Third Raikage’s forehead, dripping on his bronze skin.

Boom!

The Third Raikage finally finished his daily training today. When the two dumbbells were placed on the ground, the entire Raikage Building could vaguely feel the shaking, which was enough to show the weight of the dumbbells.

“Short-sighted guy… still wants to surpass the Land of Fire and become the strongest country in the ninja world?”

The Third Raikage wiped his sweat while complaining to the contemporary Land of Thunder.

Of the five great nations at that time, if we were to ask which nation had the best relationship between the Daimyo and the Ninja Village Leader, it would definitely be the Fire Nation and the Lightning Nation.

Needless to say, the Fire Nation also knew that they could not maintain their position as the number one in the Ninja World without the help of Konoha, and the relationship between the Daimyo and the Hokage was very good.

Even after Shimura Danzo took the throne, with his arrogant personality, he maintained a good relationship with the Daimyo.

In addition to the Fire Nation, there is the Lightning Nation.

If the purpose of the harmony between the ruler and minister of the Fire Country is to maintain the first place in the Ninja World, then the purpose of the harmony between the ruler and minister of the Lightning Country is to compete for the first place in the Ninja World.

Under this goal, the financial support provided by the Daimyo of the Lightning Country to the Hidden Cloud Village every year is actually very huge.

However, not everyone can clearly realize the important role of a good road network in the country. The Daimyo of the Lightning Country certainly wants to suppress the Fire Country, but this does not mean that he is willing to invest his money in this bottomless pit with no long-term returns, so the wish of the Third Raikage is doomed to fail.

“Lord Raikage, now that Kirigakure has won the infrastructure project of the Land of Water, it means that Kirigakure will no longer have funding problems for at least five years.”

Touchai looked at the Third Raikage, hesitated for a moment and said:

“If that’s the case, it means that our economic suppression of Kirigakure has failed. In this case, if we don’t go to war, we might as well give up suppressing Kirigakure and do business with Kirigakure instead.”

The main reason why the three villages of Kumogakure, Konoha, and Iwagakure formed an alliance was because the four villages fought in the Second Ninja World War without any result.

Since the eldest and the second can’t tell the result, in order to prevent being picked up by others and to strengthen their own strength, they can only destroy the fourth and fifth first, and then go to war after annexing them.

It was under the guidance of this idea that the first three of the five major ninja villages formed an alliance, wanting to suppress the development of the fourth and fifth as much as possible before the start of the Third Ninja World War.

When the three ninja villages are almost developed, the third ninja world war will start. First, they will join forces to destroy the two ninja villages to increase their own strength, and then compete for the first place in the ninja world.

However, after Kirigakure took over the infrastructure projects in the Land of Water, it had such a large source of funds, and the suppression of Kirigakure was tantamount to a joke.

In view of the alliance between Kirigakure and Sand Village and the frequent trade between the two, Sand Village was not affected by this and was also developing step by step.

This also declared the failure of the three-village alliance.

Because the two ninja villages were under the threat of national extinction, the three ninja villages might not be able to defeat their resistance. After all, the three ninja villages also had to leave a certain amount of troops in the country to prevent their own allies.

“So, Lord Raikage, why don’t we change our mindset and continue to target Konoha.”

Tsuchi’s intact single eye flashed with a gleam of light, “Since we didn’t win the last time when we fought three against one, then we might as well bring in the Hidden Mist Village and form an anti-Konoha alliance.”

“If the Third Generation can’t win by fighting one, then four against one should be able to win!”
