Simultaneous travel: Except for me, all the second dimension wives

Chapter 177 Konoha became the beacon of the ninja world, holding high the banner of freedom and democracy, and precisely harvesting the ninja world's talents.

Inside the Tsuchikage Building, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, an elderly man, clutched his heart, took several steps back to the corner, and looked as if he was about to die of anger.

Hei Tu was startled by this and quickly stepped forward to help him up, saying, "Grandpa, what's wrong? Grandpa, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I just almost got sick from getting so angry with you."

After catching his breath several times, Onoki raised his hand to his chest to pat his chest before speaking:

"Kurotsuchi, what's wrong with you? You actually believe the information in Konoha's newspaper. Konoha is our enemy. Their so-called Shinobi World Sun Newspaper must be complete fabrication!"

"Can't you see that?"

"Grandpa, I disagree with your point of view." Kurotsuchi pointed to the newspaper article about paying basic salaries to Konoha ninjas.

"If the information in the newspapers is all fabricated, and Konoha hasn't paid its ninjas, then the ninjas in Konoha will definitely cause a riot."

"After all, this Shinobi World Sun Newspaper clearly states that it is published throughout the entire Shinobi World."

Onoki was momentarily speechless upon hearing this, but quickly said, "Even if the fact that wages are being paid is true, the fact that businesses are only subject to one type of tax is definitely false."

"That's not right, Grandpa."

Heitu shook his head: "Just now, my father Huangtu returned from selling goods at the border with a batch of goods and some merchants from Iwagakure disguised as a normal caravan... He said that there were indeed no border nobles harassing them along the way."

"Furthermore, he said that according to the reports from the merchants he was with, the trade revenue this time was more than half higher than in the past. Even though they encountered Hyuga ninjas on the way and were charged a trade tax, the trade revenue was still half as much again as before."

Upon hearing this, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, changed his expression repeatedly.

He never expected that Konoha would actually only collect one type of commercial tax.

In addition, Konoha ninjas were paid salaries, even genin. It could be said that, except for the students in the Ninja Academy, all registered ninjas in Konoha received money.

Is it because they have too much money and nowhere to spend it?
Indeed... after confiscating the property of so many noble families, they certainly have more money than they can spend.

At that moment, Onoki felt a sudden flutter in his heart:
The Leaf Village also carried out a massacre of the Daimyo and nobles of the Land of Earth.

In that case, Iwagakure's financial crisis would be resolved immediately, and they might even have a large sum of money left over to pay the ninjas' salaries.

However, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, quickly rejected his idea:
This kind of behavior is like draining the pond to catch all the fish; without nobles... who will give Iwagakure money!

What Iwagakure needs to do now is not to massacre the nobles, but to spread the "Konoha threat" theory, so that the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, and even the nobles, will deeply understand how terrifying Konoha is and bring them profound fear.

Make them realize that only Iwagakure can save them, and they will invest heavily in Iwagakure.

As Ohnoki pondered this, his cloudy eyes brightened slightly, realizing it was an excellent way to break the deadlock.

Of course, he didn't immediately start promoting the Konoha threat theory. Instead, he seriously told Kurotsuchi that the information in the Shinobi World Sun Newspaper was false, especially those few short stories.

The story that Konoha spent two hundred years purifying the environment, making it incredibly clean, and eventually transforming flies that used to eat stinky things into honey-gathering creatures, is completely fabricated... After all, Konoha hasn't even been established for two hundred years.

For example, smearing honey on books to make people study more enthusiastically and become wiser is also far-fetched. Books smeared with honey are so sticky that they cannot be read a second time and are simply ruined.

Onoki recounted everything in detail.

After a while, Heitu finally realized that there were many false elements in the story, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"call."

Onoki breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his granddaughter finally realized that Konoha was not a good place. However, he quickly realized a crucial point:

Even his granddaughter, who had received an elite education, was bewitched by Konoha's newspaper, the Ninja World Sun News, so much so that it took him, the Tsuchikage, half an hour to bring her back to her senses.

In Iwagakure, or rather, on the land of Earth, how many people read the "Ninja World Sun News" and were thoroughly misled into believing that Konoha was a super civilized ninja village, a paradise on earth?

Could they be tempted and try to sneak into Konoha?

Or are they hoping that Konoha's heavenly soldiers will soon invade and occupy the Land of Earth?
Upon realizing this, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that the newspapers sent from Konoha to the Land of Earth were a form of war!
A new type of warfare without the clash of swords and the sight of blood!
Faced with this invisible war, how will the Land of Earth and the Hidden Stone Village respond?
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, began to ponder this question, but could not come up with any answer. In the end, he chose the most useful plan he had come up with earlier that would allow him to obtain the money:
Spreading the "Konoha Threat" theory!
The Konoha threat theory states that Konoha harbors ambitions to unify the ninja world and wants to eliminate all nobles and even daimyo!

Create a new world without nobles and famous figures!

The third-generation Tsuchikage, Onoki, wrote with divine inspiration.

He kept writing.

After finishing writing it, he immediately ordered his ninjas to deliver it to the daimyo.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was absolutely certain that once the daimyo received the letter and read its contents, he would be filled with fear and would definitely give money, and in large sums at that.

Surely they wouldn't risk their lives for money?!

probably not!

With that thought in mind, the Third Tsuchikage began to deal with other matters.

While Onoki was dealing with other matters, the people of Iwagakure, or more accurately, the various ninja villages and nations of the ninja world, just as Onoki had guessed, developed a great deal of longing, envy, and jealousy towards Konoha.

Many merchants began to secretly travel to Konoha to do business.

Many people began to believe that Konoha was a paradise on earth, and they all hoped that the Konoha Heavenly Army would come to their side as soon as possible and rule them.

It is our honor to be ruled by Konoha and to be a member of Konoha!

After all, nobles and daimyo are simply too inhuman.

……

The next day arrived quickly. On this day, Root's head, Ramon, came to the Hokage Building and found Hinata, demanding her cooperation in announcing a policy:
Leaf Green Card!

"Green card?"

Hinata adjusted her Hokage hat, then suddenly realized something, a faint smile playing on her lips. "So this means Konoha is going to learn from America in every way!"

Romon nodded slightly and said, "In any case, America's set of policies on freedom and democracy, beacon of humanity, and green cards are indeed useful!"
"In Luo Meng's earliest memory, that Western country used this tactic to attract talent from all over the world, and it did so for two hundred years!"

"Even when Romon died in the beginning, it was still very useful!"

Many people still fantasize that America's dream is real!

"They're willing to risk smuggling themselves out, abandoning their wives and children, and forsaking their homeland to go to America to pursue their dreams!"

"That's true, so I agree with you."

After speaking, Hinata Hyuga, the Fifth Hokage, breathed on the stamp and slammed it firmly onto the green card application form.

On that day, the Hokage Building issued an important policy:
Green card policy!

As the name suggests, it's a residence permit for Konoha...

Anyone who can help Konoha can apply for a green card.

Now, Konoha has just conquered the lands of the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, eliminating all the aristocratic scourges in those two lands. Therefore, Konoha is currently short of people, and is in dire need of manpower!
Come to Konoha and you'll get a green card!

Moreover, as long as you work on Konoha's land for three years, you will receive land!
Of course, the green card policy is not only for ordinary people, but also for business people.

Businessmen who apply for green cards and engage in charity work in Konoha can receive tax breaks.

Of course, aside from this point, the green card policy is most targeted at ninjas:
Anyone from any country with advanced technology and unique ninjutsu skills can come to Konoha and apply for a green card to become a Konoha ninja!
Get your salary!
In addition, as long as you make contributions, you may even be qualified to learn various ninjutsu from Konoha.

In short, as this policy was announced on the bulletin board of the Hokage Building, Ramon opened his Tenseigan, activated his spatial eye technique, and the Gate of Imaginary Numbers opened!

The sky across the entire ninja world once again cracked open, revealing a purplish-black imaginary canyon!

Countless pre-printed, heavily edited versions of the "Ninja World Sun Newspaper" fell across the ninja world and were picked up by countless people.

For example, Old Huang found the newspaper again, and then took it to the old scholar to read it aloud. After learning about the green card policy in the newspaper, he was very tempted.

Go to Konoha. Once you arrive on Konoha's land, you can get a green card and own a piece of farmland.

Although the farmland initially needs to be rented, as long as it is properly managed for three years... the farmland will become my land, Old Man Huang's land!
Go, must go!
I can't stand being exploited by nobles for rent and rent anymore!

I must bring my wife and children with me to Konoha!

After pondering this, Old Man Huang threw down his hoe and ran back to find his children and even his wife to discuss leaving the Land of Earth.

Soon, a conclusion was reached:
We must go to Konoha!
Only by going to Konoha can one escape the life of a beast and become a true human being.

Live a life that truly belongs to human beings!

As Old Man Huang thought this, he recalled a line from the Ninja World Sun Newspaper:

The nobles and landowners said we were like cattle and horses, and Grandma said...we were even worse than cattle and horses...We worked from beginning to end all year round, yet we were still plagued by hunger and poverty.

These days must change.

Tread.

Old Huang and his family set off under the cover of night.

Then they were surprised to find that they were not the only ones heading towards the border that night, heading towards the Land of Fire.

In the darkness, many people from various villages, pale and thin, with patched clothes and no shoes, were heading towards Konoha... all to escape their life as beasts of burden!

Go to Konoha!
Escape this life of hardship!

We want to be human!
Be a human being!
In a daze, Old Man Huang heard such a voice, and then, with a resolute expression, he led his family to Konoha.

On the same dark night, many ninjas who were unhappy living in the ninja village, oppressed by the powerful, or even bullied by members of their ninja squads, also saw the Konoha Green Card policy published in the Ninja World Sun Newspaper.

Then, they quietly made a cut on their foreheads and ran towards Konoha overnight!

Of course, they didn't run alone; they ran with their families!
In short, many people from the Land of Earth rushed to Konoha that night. The so-called Will of Rock, the rules of the ninja village, and even the prohibitions of the daimyo could not stop those people from heading towards Konoha, which represents the beacon of democracy and freedom.

On the same night, it wasn't just the people of the Land of Earth and the Hidden Stone Village who fled.

Many people in the Sand Kingdom also began to flee.

And the ninjas from the Land of Water, those who had experienced the Bloody Mist Village and had no loyalty to the current Mizukage, also ran away!

Zabuza Momochi is one of them.

Zabuza believed that staying in Kirigakure, this distorted ninja village, would only lead to his death sooner or later. He thought it would be better to go to Konoha to earn a salary without having to go on missions, and more importantly, he wouldn't have to kill his own people!
Simply not great!
Zabuza, escape by boat!

……

In short, countless people from the ninja world rushed towards Konoha that night.

After that night, the various factions received the intelligence, and they were all extremely shocked and furious.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, smashed the table with a single punch, angrily shouting, "Damn it! A bunch of ingrates! They abandoned their past hatred and joined Konoha just for a green card!"

"We need to build roads and infrastructure for Konoha!"

"A bunch of damned bastards, they have no will of earth whatsoever." After roaring, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, saw his son, Kotsuchi, run into the office in a panic.

"what happened?"

“Father, your disciple Deidara has disappeared. I only found a note he left behind.”

What? ! !
Onoki's face turned ashen, then he immediately flew up and took the note from Yotsuchi's hand, quickly deciphering the words Deidara had left behind:

"Old man, I'm going to pursue art!"
"Ahem, what I mean is, I think the idea of ​​using Earth Release to build roads on a large scale is quite artistic, especially since the Ninja World Sun Newspaper also mentioned that they lack ninjas who can create explosions and blast mountains."

"I feel it's my duty to take the lead!"
"I'm going to Konoha, that's all!"

Upon seeing this, Onoki tore the note to shreds, then, his face ashen, said to Huangtu:

"Son, do you think I'm a complete failure? I took on a disciple... and now even he's betrayed me!"

"This is not Father's fault. It is Konoha that is too cunning. They are resorting to underhanded tricks. They proposed a ninja infrastructure project in the Ninja World Sun News, which involved blowing up the mountains that block the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire to create a road that allows the two countries to pass through!"

"They even came up with a slogan: 'If you want to get rich, build roads first!'"
"Junior Brother Deidara was probably attracted by the lofty slogans put forward by Konoha."

"Should we set off now and bring Deidara back?"

"Hmph, he's a master of Earth Release: Clay Ninjutsu, he probably flew to Konoha on a clay bird long ago."

Onoki said with a gloomy expression.

"..."

The loess soil is silent.

Huang Tu knew all too well that it was absolutely impossible to ask Konoha for someone... After all, Konoha was too strong now, and the Fifth Hokage, Hinata Hyuga, was there, with those extremely mysterious Tenseigan eyes!

Huang Tu even suspected that Konoha was just waiting for them to come knocking on their door demanding Deidara's return, so that Konoha could use the fact that Deidara had already obtained a green card and was a Konoha resident...

This would provide a pretext and justification for war... At that time, Konoha might launch an invasion of the Land of Earth. Could he, or even his father, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, really stop Konoha?
Will it block Konoha's pair of Tenseigan?
It's unstoppable, absolutely unstoppable... Even Iwagakure will be like Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning, directly defeated by the Konoha ninja forces led by the Fifth Hokage, Hinata Hyuga.

At that time, the entire Hidden Stone Village, and even the entire Land of Wind, will likely fall and become Konoha's territory!

The more Huang Tu thought about it, the uglier his face became... and soon he turned into the same asoki's ashen face.

……

Meanwhile, in the Land of Wind, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, got up early to prepare for his daily work: mining gold dust in the desert using Magnet Release ninjutsu.

Then, he learned a shocking truth from Granny Chiyo: their house had been robbed.

A group of Sand Village ninja disappeared with their families. According to intelligence, they went to Konoha to apply for green cards so they wouldn't have to live in the barren desert and watch camels baring their teeth.

When Rasa received this news, he was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Konoha to use such a treacherous strategy.

Green card policy!

Attract talented individuals from across the ninja world to Konoha with favorable policies... return the land, provide salaries...

Damn it, that damn Fifth Hokage Hinata Hyuga, did she really become this rich after killing the daimyo and nobles?!

Luo Sha gritted his teeth and pondered this for a while. Looking at the vast expanse of yellow sand before him, he felt increasingly depressed, even to the point of feeling like he was going to vomit blood.
屮!
I dig for gold dust every day, all for the sake of developing Sunagakure Village!

As a result, the village ninjas abandoned him, the Kazekage, without saying a word and ran away!

Damn it, damn it!

Rasa became increasingly distressed and finally asked one of the new generation of ninjas in Sunagakure if Maki had run away.

"He didn't leave."

As Chiyo spoke, a deep sadness appeared on her aged face: "But my grandson, Sasori, left Sunagakure and went to Konoha."

“Scorpion? How could that be? He doesn’t usually seem to like money.”

Luo Sha opened his eyes wide, revealing a deep look of confusion.

Chiyo sighed sadly, took out the "Ninja World Sun News" newspaper, and pointed to one of the news articles with her aged finger:
Konoha wants to establish a new school, the Ninja University!
The school principal is Hinata Hyuga, the Fifth Hokage.

This school not only teaches ninjutsu, but also offers subjects such as art, ninjutsu, taijutsu, mathematics, literature, and more.

We now cordially invite outstanding ninjas from all fields of the ninja world to come to Konoha and serve as teachers!
Furthermore, they will arrange various research projects for teachers and approve various research funds!
Even art majors get research funding!
In the future, Konoha University is destined to become the number one university and the number one high school in the ninja world.

After reading it, Rasa realized something: "Could it be that Sasori went to Konoha not for money, but to pursue art?"

"Yes."

"..."

Luo Sha remained silent.

He never expected that Konoha would launch a multi-pronged attack, including not only the green card policy but also the university policy.

Can Sunagakure learn from Konoha, establish a high school, set up an art college, and invite people from the entire ninja world to join in studying art?

No!

impossible things!

After all, Sunagakure is a village in a desert oasis; art cannot flourish in such a place!
This means that even if Rasa and Chiyo take the initiative to retrieve Sasori's physical body, Sasori will still continue to defect in the future.

The reason is simple: Scorpio is a person with artistic aspirations!

Moreover, Sasori is probably not the only person like this in the ninja world!
After pondering this point, Luo Sha sighed inwardly:
The Konoha of today is completely different from the Konoha of the past.

In the past, Konoha just did its own thing and didn't export any ideology to the outside world.

However, everything changed after Hinata became the Fifth Hokage... First, she destroyed the Hidden Cloud Village and occupied the Land of Lightning... Then, she used this insidious method to plunder talent from their Hidden Sand Village.

If Sunagakure continues to be drained of talent by Konoha, the village's pool of talent will likely dwindle.

The entire village will also become increasingly weak!

We must find a way to reverse this situation!

Moreover, the gold mining work cannot be stopped. After all, if the gold mining work stops, Sunagakure Village will lose nearly half of its source of income. At that time, it will not be able to pay the mission commission subsidies, and more people will run away.

So, Rasa began mining gold dust using Magnet Release ninjutsu while pondering under the scorching sun how to break the deadlock and turn the tide.

Brain cells die rapidly, and one begins to sweat profusely and pant heavily.

After most of the day, he was finally exhausted and returned home from the sun-drenched land, but his heart was still filled with resentment:

Damn it, they still haven't figured out a way to counter Konoha!

Damn it!
Luo Sha clenched his fists, his heart filled with resentment.

Just then, he noticed that Gaara, who was not far away, was also reading the "Ninja World Sun News" newspaper, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Rasa: "Gaara, what are you looking at?"

Gaara remained silent: "..."

Luo Sha frowned and shouted even louder, "Speak, Gaara!"

Gaara, though displeased by his father Rasa's stern rebuke, still spoke up:

"This newspaper, the Ninja World Sun, says that Konoha has established a university that will study medical ninjutsu and research solutions to various difficult and complicated diseases."

"And insomnia is one of the difficult and complicated diseases!"

"I... I want to go to Konoha for treatment."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Rasa said sternly, "If Konoha can't cure you, then you can't go to Konoha alone!"

Rasa knew all too well that the reason Gaara couldn't sleep day after day was because he was a Jinchūriki, and a Tailed Beast was sealed inside him—the One-Tailed Beast was causing trouble within Gaara's body.

This is not an illness at all.

Of course, Konoha has better sealing techniques that can perfectly seal the tailed beasts and prevent them from causing trouble... but Rasa could not possibly send the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, who is extremely important to Sunagakure, to Konoha.

After all, what if Konoha had ill intentions and tampered with the One-Tailed Beast or even its Jinchūriki?
After thinking it over, Rasa instructed again, "You are not allowed to go to Konoha."

"..."

Gaara remained silent, his eyes, dark circles under his eyes, fixed intently on Rasa. "I want to sleep! I want to go to Konoha! I'll go someday!"

"That day will never come."

After Luo Sha finished speaking, he sat up from the bed where he was resting.

Then he saw Kankuro and even Temari excitedly enter the room with newspapers, saying:
"Father, look! The newspaper says that the Fifth Hokage, Hinata Hyuga, and even Root Chief Ramon, are extending invitations to all the geniuses in the ninja world to join Konoha Ninja Academy!"
"At Ninja University, everything is based on freedom and democracy!"
"Jonin will no longer be the limit for ninjas. Anyone has the opportunity to become a Kage and possess Kage-level strength!"

Do you think we can go?

Upon hearing his son and daughter's words, Rasa's expression turned even more serious, turning ashen. He sternly said, "You are not allowed to go! This must be a conspiracy by Konoha!"
"Konoha established a university to attract you to Konoha and become hostages!"

"He just wants to use the children of the village leaders as leverage, and he also wants to obtain various bloodline limits in the ninja world for research!"

"I will absolutely not teach anything real!"
"In addition, the teachers in the school will preach the Will of Fire, change your perceptions, and make you fight for Konoha!"

"In short, the university run by Konoha is definitely not benevolent; there must be a conspiracy! A huge conspiracy!"

After Luo Sha finished speaking, he took a sip of water and then went back to digging for gold in the desert.

Meanwhile, in Amegakure Village...

Nagato, who had used the Rain Tiger Free Technique, was able to see through this sensory ninjutsu that many people from Amegakure were leaving the village and heading to Konoha with their families.

Even some members of the Akatsuki organization secretly took off their black and red cloud-patterned clothes and went to Konoha, preparing to become Konoha's obedient citizens.

All of this was seen by Nagato's Rinnegan and the Sage of Six Paths, but he said nothing and did not stop it; he simply remained silent.

After all, in his view, Konoha's welfare system was indeed very good.

Whether they are merchants, ordinary people, or ninjas!
Comprehensive care!
Once you go there, you'll be registered, given a green card, land, and a salary!
It's simply an ideal country!
Furthermore, various construction plans were described in the "Ninja World Sun News".

The goal was to use ninjas in production, not in war.

This was what Nagato had always dreamed of. At this moment, he even thought that the plan to collect the nine tailed beasts and forge the Ten-Tails weapon, like the Sword of Damocles, to intimidate all living beings in the ninja world, was no longer necessary!

Now, all we need is for the Akatsuki to support Konoha!
If Konoha were to unify the ninja world, then the ninja world would achieve peace! The people would even be able to live a better life!
