The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Hanzo's determined tone made the four shadows look at each other in confusion.

To be honest, this kind of scientific thing is really not very "ninjutsu" in the eyes of the four people.

But as a dignified Hokage, if Hanzo said it publicly on an occasion like the Five Shadows Conference, it would not be just random fabrication.

Therefore, even though it was a bit unbelievable, the Four Shadows still believed in Hanzo for the time being.

After a while, the first generation Kazekage Reito was the first to speak out: "Hokage-sama, I wonder... what is the yield of this so-called fertilizer? What is the cost?"

Hanzo smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, this is the result of the research and development of Konoha with great concentration. Naturally, I cannot tell you everything so easily, but I can assure you that the output and cost of this product are not a problem."

When Lie Dou heard this, his breathing became a little heavy.

Why does Sunagakure want to acquire the land of Kawa no Kuni? Is it because of the small territorial area?

As the country with the largest territory in the known world, Sunagakure still looks down upon the small territory of Kawa no Kuni.

But the fertility of the land in Kawa no Kuni cannot be compared to that of Sunagakure.

Those lands suitable for farming are what Sunagakure strives for.

But now, if we have this fertilizer, we don't need much. As long as Sunagakure's food production can be increased by 30%, Sunagakure can become self-sufficient in food.

If it can be increased by 50%, then Sunagakure will not need to worry about food problems in the next twenty years.

Lie Dou knew that he could never miss this opportunity.

Before anyone else could ask further questions, Lie Dou snapped and said, "Hokage-sama, tell me what it will take before you are willing to share the technology of this thing with me, Sunagakure."

With the Kazekage taking the lead, the others were no longer reserved, and the Tsuchikage, Raikage and Mizukage also followed suit.

"I, Iwagakure, also have this intention."

"The same is true for Kumogakure."

"..."

For a time, the whole auditorium became lively.

When Hanzo saw this, he was also happy in his heart and said: "Everyone, my requirements in Konoha are not high. I hope that merchants who hold my Konoha household registration can pay 10% less tax when doing business in various ninja villages.

, and at the same time, for minerals such as iron ore and coal mines, when the transaction volume exceeds one ton, you can give them a 10% discount."

"..."

After hearing Hanzo's condition, the four shadows were stunned.

It's not that Hanzo's request is too high, but because in their opinion, Hanzo's request is really insignificant.

Konoha merchants will receive a 10% less tax and discounts on bulk mineral transactions will indeed have a certain impact on the income of the four major ninja villages.

But that's all.

You know, the increase in grain production will reduce the cost of imported grain. If the two offset the two, they may be able to make some more money.

This surprised the four shadows who were originally prepared to be brutally beaten by Konoha.

However, even though he didn't understand Hanzo's thoughts, he would be a fool not to take advantage of it. The Tsuchikage was the first to say: "Deal, Hokage-sama."

The other three people also rushed to make an agreement with Hanzo.

After finally making an agreement with Raikage, Hanzo nodded with satisfaction.

The four major ninja villages think it's okay, that's because they and Konoha are developing in different directions.

Konoha is now focusing on developing Konoha's business circle, but as the dividends from the first wave of land sales are gradually eaten up, the speed of businessmen pouring into Konoha has slowed down.

In order to speed up the formation of a business circle, Hanzo needs to come up with new temptations to lure businessmen into Konoha.

Now, Konoha has signed such an agreement with the four major ninja villages, which means that the cost of cross-border trade for Konoha merchants will be reduced.

This is an irresistible temptation for businessmen.

Moreover, if you do not enjoy this benefit and your peers receive it, how long can you persist in this industry with your cost advantage?

Therefore, it can be expected that once this news gets out, businessmen from all sides will fight for Konoha's household registration.

Of course, in addition to this, this also facilitates Konoha's economic influence on Kirigakure in the future and lays the foundation for Hanzo's strategy.

Theoretically, every village has signed this agreement with Konoha, which conceals Hanzo's attempt on Kirigakure. Therefore, Minazuki Arashi has no defense against it at all.

Thinking of this, Hanzo felt a little happier.

As for the impact of neighboring countries' food production on Konoha's exports as a food-producing country, Hanzo didn't take it to heart at all.

Not to mention the future increase in the population of Konoha, this land can not only be used to grow food, but also fruits and vegetables, including cash crops, etc., can be considered.

Konoha, which has the largest cultivated land area in the entire shinobi world, will never have to worry about running out of things to grow.

After signing the agreement, Hanzo gradually lost his smile as he looked at the equally satisfied Si Kage, and said seriously: "Everyone, the purpose of this fertilizer is to increase food production, but the meaning behind it is not only that."

Hanzo's sudden words drew the four people's attention to Hanzo again.

Even Yamamoto Shigekuni, who had been squinting his eyes, couldn't help but look at him.

Unlike the Five Shadows, the General of the Iron Kingdom is not only the military leader of the Iron Kingdom, he also actually controls the political power of the Iron Kingdom, and the entire Iron Kingdom's political orders are in his hands.

With such power, Yamamoto Shigekuni also shoulders the heaviest responsibility of the Iron Kingdom.

He needs to lead all the people of the Iron Kingdom to survive in this bitter cold land.

Therefore, in addition to their strength, the generals of the Iron Kingdom in the past also had good political vision and economic knowledge.

At first, he thought that the newly emerged Five Shadows were just a group of war madmen with extraordinary strength, and he still felt a certain amount of contempt in his heart.

But now, he understands that at least Naruto is not as simple as he thought.

Just listen to Hanzo continue: "In the past, there were often wars between the ninja clan. Why?"

Hanzo glanced at everyone, and then said calmly: "Because of money, yes, because we need enough tasks to earn funds to keep the family going.

But if every one of us ninja clan has endless food and endless living supplies, will we still have a war?"

Listening to Hanzo's question, all four figures frowned.

It must be admitted that before the ninja clans of various countries began to consciously unify, the war between the ninja clans was actually due to this reason.

After a while, it was Raikage who spoke first: "Lord Hokage, I admit that what you said makes sense. What do you want to express?"

Hanzo smiled when he heard this, and then said word for word: "I want each of our countries to have extremely rich material wealth. When our productivity reaches the level where all people can enjoy a very high standard of living,

, do we still need war to obtain survival resources and space?"
