There is no other way but to actively expand the area of the village to accommodate the increasing population and buildings.
With the flow of population and economy, Konoha has become the choice of more and more people.
Because of the Akatsuki organization's complete showdown, the village was able to access the economic mutual assistance platform with almost no obstacles.
A large amount of materials circulate in the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind, giving life to countless emerging industries.
Even because of the Iron Country Contract, it is operating normally in several other countries.
As a member village enjoying the Western Continent Treaty, Konoha is changing with each passing day.
This village was becoming more and more like a behemoth, almost catching up with the new town in the Rain Country.
But the new town has multiple railways and is positioned as a multinational commercial hub and freight distribution center.
Konoha was able to achieve this thanks to the seemingly radical policies guided by the Fifth Hokage.
The number of ninjas even skyrocketed because they seized the opportunity.
Take this enrollment as an example.
Generally speaking, there will be hundreds of children in a batch. Forty or fifty children of appropriate age will be initially selected to enter the ninja school for study and further screening. On the road to growth, they will be constantly eliminated and classes will be merged.
Only after passing the final selection will you have the opportunity to become a Genin.
This was the original enrollment scale of the ninja school during peacetime.
Now... since there are general schools for ordinary people as a backup, everyone will be sent to the ninja school for assessment first.
Coupled with the rapid growth of the village's economy, the number of students in the ninja school has more than tripled.
The growth in the number of ninjas in Konoha would definitely make Rasa jealous.
Although the Sand Village also accepted the economic platform transformation of the Akatsuki organization, its progress could never catch up with Konoha.
Of course, this also led to increasingly tense relations between Konoha and the Daimyo.
Kakashi himself has a history of coming to power in an illegitimate way, and the armed forces under his command have their own financial support, and even the possibility of becoming independent makes the daimyo very uneasy.
At one point I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep.
The growth in both the quantity and quality of ninjas shocked the superiors. If this continued, they would inevitably have inappropriate thoughts.
What if a large number of ninjas suddenly become unwilling to be inferior to others and insist on offering the Daimyo Castle to the Hokage?
The daimyo, who lacked the means to restrain the ninja, thought about it over and over again... and still felt extremely dissatisfied and malicious about the root cause of everything that happened.
The Daimyo strongly disagreed with the wave of reforms initiated by the Akatsuki organization.
If it weren't for that fat guy from the Wind Country taking the lead in doing this, and that bastard from the Water Country following suit, I would never have allowed this damn thing to enter the Fire Country.
A short-term wave of reform can only bring superficial benefits, and there may be a major crisis afterwards.
He and his staff became increasingly wary of the power of this foreign ideology, which was an evil thing that shook the foundation of his rule.
I just mentioned a few things in Daming City about terminating the economic cooperation platform with other countries...
"Daimyo..."
"I think..."
"actually……"
A simple test caused many nobles to jump out.
They have all bought equipment or invested in projects in Rain Country. If they terminate the project at this time, they will lose all their money.
The key point is that the rebates on this platform are really fast and visible to the naked eye.
I don’t know why they are so rich. They don’t even make the money themselves, but give it away to everyone to make money together.
Chapter 4: The Hokage with Many Means
The reputation of such a conscientious organization must not discourage others...
At this moment, Daming felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
It's not just the ninja system, the other party's connection with the aristocratic system is probably even deeper.
This temptation ended in vain.
So... the Daimyo of the Land of Fire increased the military funding for Konoha Village. Since they already have money, they might as well give more.
The meaning is very simple.
I have been so good to Konoha, if I mess around again it would be against the will of the people.
I have to say that the daimyo was very smart to be able to keep his throne. If he was a moron, he would have just issued a direct warning and made trouble.
This did indeed stabilize the situation a lot, and Kakashi was quite satisfied.
Konoha will not be out of the jurisdiction of the Fire Nation for the time being, it will continue to rise steadily.
Itachi took the two brats to register at the gate of Konoha.
The goalkeepers are still the duo of goalkeepers.
Gang Zitetsu and Kamijou Izumo were once transferred by Kakashi to other departments for training, but after considering many missions, they finally requested to be transferred back to guard the gate.
The reason for this is that the flow of people into Konoha has skyrocketed, as has the number of residents, which has put a lot of pressure on the security guards.
So they sought help from two experienced senior colleagues, but ultimately they could not resist the enthusiastic invitation and returned to their familiar positions.
Kakashi also taught them a joint ninjutsu for making such a sacrifice, which can be considered a benefit.
Shen Yuechuyun was a little curious when she saw these three sensitive people appearing at the same time.
"I always feel like something big is going to happen soon."
Steel or iron doesn't matter.
"With Lord Hokage here, everything is under control."
Everyone in Konoha knows that the Fifth Hokage is not only extremely powerful, but also extremely wise and resourceful.
Shen Yuechu Yun also nodded.
"Yeah, even if Hokage-sama can't handle it, there's still Secretary-sama."
Itachi walked straight ahead with the two little kids, his destination was the Hokage Building.
Naruto is more or less the core secret of the village, so it is only natural for him to report to the Hokage first when returning to the village.
As for the fact that Kyuubi did not come back with us, I also need to report it.
Neji was involved in a plan after school started, so he was also sent to see how Kakashi would arrange it.
Of course, let's go eat first. It won't take too long.
"This is the outer city area, and that Ichiraku Ramen is very famous."
The first meal after entering the village is of course Ichiraku Ramen. It’s not that Itachi can’t afford a big meal... Well, he really can’t afford a big meal.
All the money was divided up, and it was difficult for this young man, who had seen so much suffering in the world and had a sincere heart, to save money outside.
I can’t afford the barbecue at the Akimichi family for now, unless I use the identity of the eldest son of the Uchiha family to keep accounts.
"Welcome~~~"
Shouda is considered an old man in the village. He is not exaggerating, but this small shop has received many important people.
Those eyes that had been unable to open had also developed the ability to use pupil techniques after looking at countless people.
As soon as the two children came in, they showed that they were not short of money.
Except the big one, he was talking about the two smaller ones.
Neji is a disciple of the Hokage, a member of the Hyuga clan, and has a living jonin father, so naturally he is not short of money.
Naruto…not to mention the Fourth Hokage’s savings, that guy doesn’t have any.
Mom Kushina is really rich.
There are so many ways for a sealer to make money, and any mission he takes will cost him millions of taels.
The threshold for this industry is very high, and it is much rarer than being a senior ninja.
There are five Shadows of Omura in the entire ninja world, but there is only one strongest sealer.
The pocket money he gave was all in paper money, and the poor Toad's wallet was filled with the source of all evil.
Yile was excited and planned to use his superb skills to capture the yellow-haired kid.
The Hyuga family has a light taste, and most of their dining habits are incompatible with this small restaurant, so it doesn't bother to think about it.
With his dazzling craftsmanship, the dough in his hands seems like a new world being created.
Harmonious and perfect, even Uchiha Itachi admired this process.
"Three of you, super deluxe supreme ramen! Please enjoy!"
It sounds very expensive. Itachi regretted saying that it was expensive...
"Oh~~~~Uncle, this is delicious!!!"
The little yellow-haired boy with shining eyes was successfully captured by Uncle Ichiraku who used 120% of his strength.
It’s not that Naruto is ignorant. The Rain Country is far superior to Konoha in terms of cooking methods and the richness of food ingredients.
But he sensed the sincerity of Ichiraku Ramen, and a delicious power was injected into the dish.
This is an innate talent, it does not belong to the Nine-Tails, nor has it anything to do with the Uzumaki.
After eating two bowls of deluxe ramen, I left with a satisfied smile.
Itachi's expression was a little depressed, and his poverty-stricken air burst out again.
I can’t even go to the meatball shop later, because if I go again I won’t be able to finish it.
"Okay, I'll take you to the Hokage Building."
As they walked along, Itachi told Naruto where this place was and where that place was.
From now on, this will be where the little one lives.
"This is the core area of Konoha."
"To the east is the Uchiha clan. My brother Sasuke is there. Go play with him more often when you have time."
"This child is a bit competitive and has too few friends."
"To the west is the Hyuga group, which is also Neji's home... it's better not to get close to them recently."
"This used to be a gathering place for many ninjas, so ordinary people were rare."
"Nowadays, there is a lot more fireworks and it is more harmonious, but the consumption is too expensive..."
When they arrived here, many members of the Uchiha clan also showed up, and when they saw Itachi, they greeted him respectfully.
Naruto was a little confused looking at the people coming and going around him.
"There are so many people now. Have all the ninjas moved away?"
“…partly.”
The streets that were previously reserved between ninja clans have been divided into very small pieces, and even the Uchiha and Hyuga clans cannot escape this trend.
The man in the Hokage Building is adept at using methods such as replacement, demolition, upgrading and renovation, as well as land speculation.
How can those old-fashioned people be a match for the teacher?
As for those who were disobedient before, they have also been cleared out.
For example, the families that were controlled by Lu Jiu, their investments were booming in the early stages, and the speed at which they made back their investments was eye-watering.
It almost drives people crazy to the point of ignoring the risks. After all, Akatsuki's economic mutual aid platform is run by Konoha, so there is nothing to worry about.
Who would dare to be uneasy about an organization that has the Hokage, the captain of the security team, and the three ninjas all joined?
If you don't go all in with so many good projects, it means you don't trust the adults. They are the Hokage!
But there are always unexpected events...
The slow turnover of funds in the middle and late stages led to delays in several major investment projects, which is understandable.
