Chapter 09: Chapter 9 Konoha Threat Theory

After the Jonin meeting ended that day, the numerous resolutions announced by the Third Mizukage at the meeting immediately spread throughout the Kirigakure Village at the speed of the wind.

The first is the genius of Kirigakure Village, the young patriarch of the Ghost Lantern clan who serves as a foreign affairs officer. Regarding this, everyone's response is actually quite good. After all, in terms of Gui Deng Xinyue's identity, achievements and strength, a ministerial position like Foreign Affairs Officer is enough to match him.

From this point of view, others can't find anything wrong with what the Third Mizukage did.

As for the principal of the Ninja School who had been used as a cover by Ghost Light Crescent Moon, only a few people knew about it. Most of them also agreed that Lian did not follow Ghost Light Crescent Moon's ideas and instead gave him a false position to let him settle down.

Although I don't know what you want to do, it is my instinct as an enemy to not make you comfortable.

Judging from what the Daimyo envoy said to Kiden Shinetsu at the end, Lian's wish to have the Daimyo envoy come to disgust Kiden Crescent Moon came to nothing. But it doesn't matter. When it comes time to give New Year's greetings, Ghost Lantern Xinyue can completely lead the team. According to the practice of previous years, it is abnormal for the envoy of Kirigakure Village not to be scolded by the Daimyo every time.

What's more, Ren learned from the grapevine that due to the closed-door policy in the Kingdom of Water, the daimyo who thought they were much safer also had the idea of ​​further reducing the military support of Kirigakure Village. After the Ghost Lantern New Moon's New Year's shrine visit is over, the rumor can be spread and the matter framed on his head. It is said that it was because of his bad reputation that the Kirigakure Village's military expenditures were reduced.

Then he would like to see what reputation the Kirigakure Village's "timely rain" has!

As for Ren's second decision announced at the meeting, following the daimyo's policy of keeping the Kirigakure Village's sights secret, the reaction from the lower classes was huge. After all, as a military stronghold, don't the livelihoods of civilians in Kirigakure depend on the consumption of ninjas?

Now that it is closed and closed, supplies from the outside cannot come in, so what ninja will come to consume it?

However, the voices of these low-level civilians and genin were not taken seriously. After all, the really powerful families could still obtain those resources even if they closed themselves off. Under this policy, they have become a monopoly party. As vested interests, they will naturally not object. Of course, they still have to cooperate with the atmosphere and lament.

But despite this, the civilians of Kirigakure Village can still live despite their hard work after seclusion. However, the last resolution, the mechanism of fixed ninja quotas and the promotion of the capable and the inferior, is what really aroused the dissatisfaction of the majority of civilians in Kirigakure Village. resolution.

What does this resolution mean?

For the ninja clan with a heritage of inheritance, this is easy to solve. If it is not possible to make it an "iron rice bowl" by then, just implement the inheritance system.

For civilians, this means that unless they are lucky, any hope of relying on the ninja profession to make a comeback as in the past has been completely shattered.

Well, to use an academic term to describe it, the civilians in Kirigakure Village have since lost their upward mechanism.

But again, in this world where extraordinary power exists, and where special bloodline does have a huge blessing on combat power, the opinions of civilians are indeed worthless sometimes.

A few people who were unwilling to accept this even approached Ghost Lantern Crescent, hoping that this "timely rain" in Kirigakure Village would bring rain. However, it is a pity that our foreign affairs officer was forced to issue a military order due to persecution by "traitors" at this time. , is studying foreign policy at home day and night, and temporarily refuses all foreign visitors.

So after a period of twists and turns, the storm caused by the all-jounin meeting gradually subsided in Kirigakure Village, and in contrast, those who settled down turned their attention to the Ghost Light Crescent Moon again. , looking forward to what method this genius of the Oniden family will come up with to use the propaganda power of Kirigakure Village that he obtained from Mizukage to realize his "continental balance policy."

"Well...it's almost done. Just polish it a little and it will be spread out!"

Looking at the manuscript he had compiled after several days and nights of sleepless nights, Gui Deng Xinyue showed a satisfied smile.

""Konoha Threat Theory"..."

"According to reliable information, Konoha Village's military expenditures have been on the rise since the establishment of the village. Especially since the First Ninja War, military expenditures have increased by 1,000% in the past ten years. In addition, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen has spared no effort to support civilians. Ninjas, this has also caused the ninjas of Konoha Village to become yin, sweating like rain, and they are shoulder to shoulder. In terms of the number and quality of ninjas, they can overwhelm the four major ninja villages of Yunyan Sandgiri..."

"According to statistics, Konoha Village actually has a population of one million, but the number of kunai, shuriken, and explosive charms produced every year reaches tens of millions. The average person has ten kunai and there are still some left. Such a lot of weapons and equipment must not be used to set off fireworks. , someone who chops wood.”

"According to a Sharingan owner who did not want to be named, the Hokage's assistant Danzo even uttered arrogant words under the strong military strength of Konoha Village, claiming that 'one tree is worth five ninjas', and shouted that the clouds will be destroyed in one month. , the arrogant slogan of destroying rocks in February, destroying sand in March, destroying fog in April, and sweeping the world in May to establish a Pan-Konoha Co-Prosperity Sphere."

"After the author's in-depth investigation, this 'Ninja Darkness' said this has a origin. Konoha has revealed cruel elements from the very beginning. According to research, Uzumaki, the direct descendant of the noble daughter of Uzushio Village in the country of Uzumaki today Mito was once robbed by the founder of Konoha, Senju Hashirama, and now it is used as a prison to imprison monsters, which is really infuriating."

Below are some numbers listed by this editor.

There are 50,000 ninja standing army, 5,000 Jonin, and 3,000 bloodline limited ninjas. Konoha's military expenditure in 33 years is 50 billion. There are dozens of countries secretly controlled by Konoha Village. There are even rumors that Konoha still controls the Fire. The power of the Daimyo of the country was abolished. The contemporary Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen still disliked the title of "Kage" because it could not show his prestige, and wanted to change his name to "Fire Emperor"...

At the end of the article, the editor even shouted that if Konoha is not eliminated, the world will be unrest, calling Konoha the "original sin" of world turmoil.

Even in the end, the anonymous editor surnamed Gan took it personally and wrote a solemn oath that if Konoha does not abolish martial arts, he will go on a hunger strike for one day.

What stands out is a person who is full of literary talent and passionate.

On the side, Qing and Ghost Cangyue had unspeakable expressions on their faces after reading the document, especially the name and content of the document.

How to put it, it's hard to comment.

"Well, Xinyue, are all the data on your document true?"

Qing was a little curious. According to common sense, these data should be the core secrets of Konoha. How did an outsider like Ghost Light and Crescent Moon know about it?

Is it possible that the spies planted in the village have access to this level of confidential information?

But that's not right. Unless it was a spy planted by the Ghost Lantern clan themselves, how could Lian give this kind of information to Ghost Lantern Xinyue?

"Then do you think Konoha is the source of unrest in the ninja world?"

Ghost Deng Xinyue did not answer him directly, but asked him a question.

"Of course not. Although Konoha also has some problems, it has nothing to do with the original sin that caused the turmoil in the ninja world, right?"

"That's enough!" Gui Deng Xinyue nodded and said with a meaningful smile: "How can there be real numbers in false things? There is no need to blame anyone!"
