Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Yuyin Village.

Wow!
Amidst the dark clouds and raindrops, a figure quickly gathered from pieces of paper that changed into the color of the sky, and finally appeared outside Hanzo's door.

Not long after.

"Hanzo-sama!"

"Xiao Nan, why are you the only one back? Did something happen?"

"My Lord, the situation is like this..."

Konan described Konoha's proposal.

Hanzo listened carefully, then smiled and said, "Since I sent you there, I must trust you very much. You can decide for yourself."

"These matters concern the village and the country, and we have neither the experience nor the power to deal with them."

Xiaonan answered respectfully.

Hanzo pondered for a moment and said, "If it is really as you said, then it can be basically determined to be beneficial to both us and the Sand Village, so we can implement it."

"Then the cost..."

"The Sand Village will definitely have to bear more responsibility, because for us in the Rain Country, it is still unknown how much effect opening a hole can have."

Hanzo replied calmly, "We can't use money to gamble with unknown benefits."

Besides, the Hidden Rain Village was already used to the rain.

The Sand Village is different.

A hole of water vapor could be a river, an oasis, or a trade route for the Sand Village...

Hanzo didn't understand all this, but his intuition told him that this plan would definitely bring greater benefits to the Sand Village!
and so.

Luo Sha will definitely give in.

"So, what about the cooperation with the northern part of River Country?"

"This needs to be discussed with the Daimyo and nobles of Kawanokuni. The interests of all parties need to be balanced. It won't be something that can be discussed in a short time. Let's postpone it for now."

Hanzo said, smiling slightly.

"You have done a good job and have gained considerable benefits for the Hidden Rain Village and the Land of Rain, but what about your village? What are your plans?"

"It turns out that the village was just trying to avoid war and conflict, and has no plans to expand. If the village needs us, we are always ready to help!"

Xiaonan lowered his head and answered quickly.

Hanzo waved his hand.

"Don't be nervous. You are from the Land of Rain, the Hidden Rain Village. We are natural allies. We can increase our cooperation in the future."

"Yes, we completely obey your orders!"

Konan answered firmly.

Hanzo said, "Go tell Yahiko that he can decide everything in the Konoha negotiations without asking me."

As he spoke, he wrote down everything he had just said on the scroll and stamped it with the seal that belonged to the leader.

“Just do it.”

"Thank you for your trust, Hanzo-sama!"

Xiaonan lowered his head to take it, then stepped back to the windowsill, quickly wrapped the scroll and disappeared on the spot.

Hanzo walked to the window and watched Konan leave.

Yahiko, Konan, Tori no Kuni.

If the small ninja villages want to fight against the big ninja villages and their alliances, they must unite and rely on the big ninja villages.

Yahiko and his companions from the Hidden Rain Village are indeed the most suitable partners.

When the village cannot expand, differentiation and closer alliances are far better than simple expansion in numbers.

Because the resources of the Rain Country cannot support the consumption of a large ninja village.

This is also the reason why he sincerely cooperates with Yahiko and Konan, and gives them opportunities and stages to hone their skills.

In the future, Yahiko and Konan will become the backbone of the Hidden Rain Village, and even -

The next generation leader!
……

Luo Sha left.

Those are the main things that Sunagakure needs to discuss with Konoha. Now there is also cooperation on the South Sea, so he needs to go back to take charge of the overall situation.

The Hidden Rain Village is different.

The main people in charge of the situation in the village are Hanzo, Yahiko, and Konan. To put it bluntly, they are just senior ninjas with a special status.

He can stay in Konoha for a longer time.

the difference is--

Yahiko’s purpose was different.

He was observing Konoha's operating model and wondering if the villages in the Hidden Rain Village and the Land of Birds could learn from it.

Even if they only learn a small part, it will definitely be much better than them just figuring it out.

but.

After looking around, Yahiko felt a little desperate.

Konoha's model is all based on the premise of "wealth".

Only with enough money and trade routes can we attract more merchants and form a virtuous circle.

In addition, the peace of the Fire Nation is also something that their small country cannot replicate.

Over the course of several days, he felt more and more that Konoha was like a snowball. After the initial accumulation, it would only get bigger and bigger.

If Konoha is able to digest the benefits brought by the snowball and transform them into strength in time, creating a virtuous cycle...

Then Konoha will truly become the largest village in the ninja world.

Even the other four major ninja villages probably cannot be compared with Konoha.

If the top four unite, they can compete with Konoha, but the problem is that the Sand Village was devastated by Konoha, and now they can only live by Konoha's attitude.

The Hidden Rain Village has no other choice.

The future of ninja world...

I hope Jingyan is a peace-loving person!

Yahiko sighed secretly.

……

In the forest outside the Anbu.

Kakashi was wearing special clothes and wielding a heavy blade. He was sweating profusely, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

After a few days, his body was improving rapidly, but he didn't realize it.

"Ten times the gravity, taking into account his own chakra, can be sustained for three hours. It's not bad, but it's a little troublesome."

Orochimaru was recording the data.

The new chakra armor has been produced.

Effect……

It's just so-so.

Because the current version can only be opened to a maximum of ten times. If it is increased further, the incremental chakra loss will increase significantly, and the cost-effectiveness is extremely low.

“When it reaches 10 times the size, you can start using it, and the follow-up is optimization and iteration.”

Jingyan looked at the pattern and wondered how to optimize it.

The principle of this armor is to increase the duration of ninjutsu, so the design is somewhat different from before.

but.

This kind of armor actually only received a hardening bonus...

Although that thing is useful, its effect is only strong below the Chunin level, and it is useless above the Chunin level.

Especially when facing Lightning Release Ninjutsu.

and so.

We need to further explore and squeeze out its value!
Jingyan was in deep thought.

Then, his eyes lit up.

"This design is actually more suitable for combination with Hardening Technique and Earth Spear. The effect should be better."

"It's just normal to cooperate with others."

Jingyan pondered rapidly in his heart.

"Kakashi, how are you feeling?"

“Better than ever!”

Kakashi was excited.

The exercise in the past few days is better than the physical training in the previous six months.

Although it was also related to the fact that he had been busy with official duties in the past six months and had basically not exercised.

but.

It's only a few days!
If you can persist in training, you can imagine its value.

"This one……"

"No."

Orochimaru refused outright, "It's expensive, and as Kyouhiko said, it's more suitable for the Iwagakure Village. We must not let it out."

"So, it can only be used in ANBU?"

"I think Jingyan has already thought about this."

Orochimaru looked towards Kyohiko.

Jingyan put away his pen and said, "Well, I just had some ideas, but they are not complete yet."

"The current plan is to make a dozen or so and give them to key personnel. In addition, once a month or every three months, we will select people who are actively training, studying, and doing tasks to compete..."

The cost of making chakra armor is not low, so it is definitely unrealistic for everyone to have one.

and so.

As a reward for "monthly exams" or "quarterly exams", it would be perfect. Orochimaru smiled and said, "Not bad! With your method, they will actively work harder and harder, and the village will become stronger and stronger!"

"Only by fighting can we improve ourselves."

Is that all after graduation?
After graduating from the Ninja School, your ninja career has just begun!

In the previous system, tasks were upgraded until death. How could this be possible?

Kakashi shuddered when he heard this.

Isn't this crazy?

他吞了口唾沫。

"So, what about people like me who are busy?"

"Outstanding talents will definitely be the priority for training. Although it is not fair, this is the fastest way to improve the high-end strength of the village."

Jingyan answered.

The foundation of a village depends on the Chunins and Genins.

With the ninja school education system, the quality of Konoha is definitely the highest among the five major ninja villages.

The gravity armor training program is mainly aimed at the jonin group.

To reach the level of a jonin, even the slightest improvement in the body would require exponential effort.

In this situation, the gravity chakra armor is very useful.

His thoughts gradually became clear, and he quickly wrote them down, preparing to go back and talk to Tsunade to see if the entire reward system could be finalized.

……

The South, the country of the sea.

A young ronin, with a knife at his waist, jumped off the boat.

On the boat, everyone waved and thanked him.

He waved his hand and walked towards the shore of the Sea Kingdom.

Soon, He Ma walked slowly towards the street, and soon he couldn't help but look in one direction of the pier.

Hidden Mist Ninja!
A group of Kirigakure ninjas jumped off the boat.

He quickly walked to a place and asked.

I only know after asking——

Recently, there have been many wandering ninjas and thieves on the sea, posing a considerable threat to the merchant caravans of the Sea Kingdom.

The Sea Country has therefore increased the recruitment of Kirigakure ninjas.

"Wandering ninja?"

"How could there be a wandering ninja who dares to attack a passing caravan from the Sea Country?"

"There must be something wrong!"

He Ma has been hanging out in River Country these days and understands the thoughts and ideas of those wandering ninjas in River Country.

He thought about the purpose of his trip, and suddenly he understood.

Konoha?

It should be.

The war is about to begin.

He secretly thought.

……

Kirigakure Village.

"Sir Elder."

"Hey!"

Master Yuan frowned and put the scroll down helplessly.

He sat back.

"As for the caravan, we have sent more ninjas. We are afraid this is a counterattack by Konoha."

"I'll go over there!"

Gui Deng Man Yue volunteered.

Master Yuan shook his head.

Ghost Lantern Full Moon...

Although he is not forced to watch over the Three-Tails like before, he currently does not have much power and the tasks given to him are very few.

He is currently basically leading the team, and those on his team are Mei Terumi, Zabuza and Ringo Ayuri.

of course.

The main reason why Master Yuan didn't let him go was the village's order.

He took out the scroll and said, "Take your men to intercept this fleet. Don't kill anyone, just rob the cargo. Do it cleanly."

"grown ups……"

Gui Deng Man Yue became anxious.

How can you cause damage right at your doorstep?

"Kid, go do your job. I understand what you said, but who can afford the cost of failure now?"

The Master's tone became increasingly miserable.

He had already realized that there was a problem with the Mizukage, but the previous Karatachi Yagura was already very powerful.

Now Yagura has sealed the Three-Tails and voluntarily become the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, his power is even more terrifying than before.

Apart from Yagura himself, who else in the Hidden Mist Village can defeat the opponent?

Now the Hidden Mist Village can still operate and maintain itself. If they do as Mangetsu Kizuki said and fail to defeat the other party, then...

After the failure, what should the Hidden Mist Village do?
The Master must consider the consequences of failure.

"Go."

"This is!"

Man Yue Kizuna left helplessly.

When he got outside, he looked up at the sky and felt that the air in the Hidden Mist Village was oppressive.

The current situation of the Hidden Mist Village makes him unable to see the future.

……

Inside the Hokage's office.

Tsunade looked at the scroll in her hand, her expression gradually becoming serious.

Another decision that affects the ninja system!

She rubbed her brows.

The advantages of Jingyan's proposal are obvious to the naked eye, but the flaws...

The ninjas are working harder and harder, and how to ensure their safe training requires careful consideration.

otherwise.

One mistake may lead to the destruction of a person.

"Kyohiko, my suggestion is to test the Gravity Chakra Armor several times first, and don't just give it to Kakashi..."

"I understand. When the quantity increases, I will test it at various levels first."

Jingyan answered.

but.

He paused and said, "However, you should be aware that this is a reward for geniuses and elites, so the ones selected must be outstanding."

"Well, in addition, whether it will have an impact on the child's development also needs to be considered..."

Tsunade continued to offer her ideas from the perspective of a medical ninja.

Then she put the scroll down.

"Compared to this, I think we should establish a ninja health review mechanism as soon as possible and summarize a set of training plans suitable for normal ninjas as much as possible."

Tsunade couldn't help but complain about what had happened in the past period of time -

Ever since the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu proved its power and controllable safety, the number of ninjas training madly in physical techniques has increased significantly.

The number of such casualties in hospitals has also increased significantly.

"This should be what Konoha Hospital needs to do, right?"

Jingyan looked up cautiously.

Tsunade said unhappily, "Where is the person? The medical ninjas in Konoha Hospital are very busy right now, doing research, treating..."

"Fortunately, we are not in a state of war, otherwise we would be in even greater need."

but.

What bothers Tsunade the most is——

The war is coming!
At this point, they can already foresee that a war is bound to break out.

This will be a war that will engulf the entire ninja world, and there will be little possibility of compromise unless they can finally kill Uchiha Madara.

“There’s still too little time!”

If given another ten years.

Jingyan believes that with Konoha's current development speed, it can definitely suppress the entire ninja world!
but.

Within the limited time, what they can do is to continuously improve the quality of current ninjas and train and develop ninjas with potential as quickly as possible.

Tsunade put it aside and sighed, "I will arrange your plan along with the health check and training. Do you have any information on Kakuzu?"

"I have people stake out several black markets. It shouldn't take long to find his approximate location."

"Catch him as soon as possible."

"Understood!" (End of chapter)
