silence……
When this data was first calculated, the top leaders of Akatsuki were a little shocked, and felt it was a little fake.
But after slowly implementing it, they did see the possibility of this miraculous change happening, and the ninjas who were sent out to help solve the farmland problems all felt hopeful.
Hanzo took a deep breath.
“Ahem… Turns out it’s not that difficult, hahaha…”
"Why are you showing me this?"
It’s a bit uncomfortable to laugh dryly, so let’s get back to the topic.
"It is only right that you report the situation to the supreme leader of the Rain Country Ninja, Master Hanzo."
"The Rain Village will always remember the help that Akatsuki provided to us, so when we reap the rewards in the future, we will also help Hanzo-sama."
"And after this experience, Akatsuki will have a wealth of management experience in agriculture, and will be able to provide these resources continuously during and after the war."
"Even after the war, there will be more economic output. In addition to farmland, there are also minerals and animal husbandry, which are all in the future plans."
"It is expected that there will even be an economic leap in post-war recovery, and the Rain Country will have a very good prospect."
"According to the budget, the overall income of the Rain Country can be restored to its level before the war in the first year, and there will even be a 1% increase."
"And starting from the second year, if the whole country works together, we can have greater income."
"And these will all be incorporated into the Rain Village after the war."
The last sentence caused a stir out of nothing... Hanzo and the other ninjas from the Rain Village were already extremely envious of their gains and their hearts suddenly exploded.
Giving away all your wealth is such a powerful move.
Such a huge profit was thrown in front of Hanzo, which made him a little confused. It seemed that the other party really wanted to make a fortune together.
The paper in my hand suddenly became heavy. This is not paper, this is money.
With this prospect, it seems that there is no need to ask the daimyo for funding... Wait...
"Ahem, the farmlands and mines here seem to belong to the nobles. After the war, they will need..."
"Master Hanzo, we'll talk about what happens after the war. There will be a way, right? Besides, are you willing to..."
Reluctantly, Hanzo admitted that he had not hesitated even in the most brutal war, but he did not seem to be so determined when it came to money.
Reluctant to do so, the surrounding Rain Ninjas all wanted to persuade Hanzo-sama to accept it for the sake of Rain Ninja Village...it's a righteous cause.
In the past, no one had ever thought about the benefits of this. They just waited for the daimyo to allocate funds according to the usual habit, and they would take on some mission commissions or collect taxes in the Rain Village.
But! When all this was laid bare before their eyes, the rules of the ninja world seemed to be torn apart.
The Rain Village and the Konoha Village cannot be compared. They are both low-level ninjas who are afraid of poverty.
Hanzo was a little shaken, it seemed that what the other party said made sense. What happened after the war with those nobles... can we talk about it again?
Chapter 19: The Sword of Fame Cuts Down the Legend
Then Noah handed over another book.
"Hero of the Rain Country, The Legend of Hanzo!"
The book contains Hanzo's folk legends, as well as stories about the ninja world such as the one who defeated the Three Ninjas. After Noah's editing, it is extremely exciting.
Among them are the new generation figures such as Yahiko. It turns out that Yahiko and others also set out on the path of seeking peace and founded the Akatsuki organization under the influence of Hanzo-sama...
"After a vote by all the colleagues in the Akatsuki organization, I hope that Hanzo-sama can become one of the honorary leaders of the Akatsuki organization."
? !
In addition to the benefits, do we have to give the organization as well? What kind of operation is this?
"Master Hanzo is the protector of the Rain Country. This has been proven countless times over the past few decades."
"If it weren't for you, this country would have fallen into a more chaotic quagmire, and we wouldn't even have the hope of surviving."
"The Akatsuki organization will spread the reputation and stories of Master Hanzo, letting everyone know that we are a closely connected community, and the Rain Country is unbreakable.
"Everyone who can have enough food and live a good life should thank Hanzo-sama, as well as the new generation of guardian gods like Yahiko, and the ninjas in Rain Village who are dedicating themselves to the country."
When Noah said the last sentence, he glanced at all the ninjas present, and everyone he saw held their heads high.
"Finally, let your name be passed down in the Land of Rain forever, and even become a monument. The traces of Hanzo the Salamander will be engraved in history, and no matter how time passes, it will never be forgotten by the public."
These words completely touched Hanzo's somewhat selfish heart. As a normal person, who doesn't want to be remembered by history?
He really wanted to brag about bestowing the title of Sannin for the rest of his life, but the pressure from Konoha prevented him from talking about it casually.
And even though he was the guardian god of the Rain Country, only the Six Paths Sage and the First Hokage were able to make people unforgettable for hundreds of years.
Only the power to create an era is worthy of such an honor.
And now Hanzo has the opportunity to become such a person in the Rain Country, which is really a fatal temptation.
As for being the honorary leader of Akatsuki...it's not bad.
Seeing the uncontrollable joy in Hanzo's eyes, Noah knew that the two swords were perfect.
The sword of fame and fortune kills heroes.
How could there be no objection within the Akatsuki organization? Not only were they giving away the benefits they had worked so hard for, but they were also giving honors to Hanzo who had not contributed much.
Even the Rain Ninjas, who have always regarded Hanzo as their idol, cannot accept it.
But Noah still insisted on doing it and convinced everyone.
If you take something in advance, you must give it first.
The Akatsuki organization alone cannot realize too big a wish, or it is not enough in time. The conspirators in this world are making moves all the time, and Noah is racing against time with them.
Danzo of the Root, the dying Uchiha Madara, the eternal Black Zetsu, and various other people are all making plans. The biggest change in the world is about to come.
At this time, we need a strong organization and powerful people to resist the enemies outside and the daimyo inside.
Yahiko is not mature yet, Nagato's fighting power is not yet formed, and his body has not yet recovered.
Although Hanzo of the Salamander is old, his strength and deterrence can still be maintained for a period of time, making him the best target.
Noah is targeting Hanzo as a person and the entire country of Rain Country.
It seems like you have given everything, but in fact you have nothing.
First, lure them with benefits. Use current resources, future development resources, and resources provided to the ninja village to make the other party waver.
However, Akatsuki itself has only reclaimed half of the land and has not even harvested a grain of food. Theoretically, the farmland after the war does not belong to them, so it is equivalent to giving nothing.
Even after that, the Rain Village will have to continue to provide supplies for a few more months. This is completely getting something for nothing.
At the same time, it also opened Pandora's box, causing irreparable cracks in the ruling system of daimyo and nobles. This is the most crucial point.
Once this heart appears, there is no going back.
The Rain Village seized the farmland, but what about other ninja villages? The big countries don't care, but what about the small countries? Without enough missions, they can only continue to weaken. This is the limitation of ninjas as mercenaries.
Next is the promise and reputation. Don’t strong people like reputation?
Even a thin person will always be happy if praised.
Moreover, the honorary leader of Akatsuki can no longer do anything. The organization still relies on the core led by Yahiko to function. This is a crushing system.
Even if Hanzo wants to intervene, it's fine, because getting more Rain Village ninjas to join in is already a success. Let them learn, copy this model, and spread it out.
Noah's focus is not just on the gains and losses of an organization.
This is what emancipating the mind means!
Break away from your old habits and limiting thoughts, and face your own desires.
The sword of fame and fortune, when used well, is even more useful than the realm of a great swordsman, and it can easily move the hearts of countless strong people.
This is how Noah convinced Yahiko in the camp. Only a fool would not do something that would allow ordinary people to live a good life in advance without paying anything.
What is lacking next is deterrence.
At this time, Noah handed Hanzo another stack of papers.
Hanzo opened it and almost cursed out loud.
Danzo! You %$#% are such a sinister bastard.
It turns out that there are copied letters here.
There is a copy of a letter sent to Akatsuki by a mysterious person.
It contains some very sensitive and confidential information.
For example, Hanzo was going to set a trap to surround and kill the Akatsuki organization. This included capturing Konan and inducing internal fighting and chaos, and completely swallowing up the organization.
The letter also proposed to work together with Yahiko to kill Hanzo, and that the Rain Village would have to be handed over to young heroes to lead the village back on track.
All these details and some things that outsiders don’t know make Hanzo think that it was that idiot who did it.
I was burning with anger.
You are such a good one-eyed guy. You instigated me to cooperate with the Root to kill the Akatsuki organization, and then you turned around and told the Akatsuki organization to kill me, the leader of the Rain Village, together.
You are trying to have the best of both worlds and completely disrupt the Rain Kingdom, dragging us into the quagmire as well.
It really is worthy of being the root of Konoha, the darkest part of the ninja world. How can people's hearts be so dark?
He was so angry that he couldn't control the murderous look in his eyes, making the entire meeting room very depressing.
"Our Akatsuki organization has received many letters from unknown persons this year. The other party was very cautious and never left any traces. One time we almost found that person, but he died in front of us, and his brain was rotten into a mess.
They may have thought that our Akatsuki organization was a violent organization that wanted to seize the Rain Country, and they have been instigating us to engage in internal fighting.
Chapter 20: Danzo is taking more and more blame
They even proposed to use Yahiko and Konan as a trap to surround and kill Hanzo-sama. We absolutely disagree with this plan, so we collected this information and gave it to you this time.
You can believe it or not, but it is what actually happened.”
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
"How could I not believe it?"
Just like the sound coming from hell, Hanzo's murderous intent could no longer be restrained.
Who else could know this except Danzo Shimura of Konoha Village? It's impossible that someone could predict this and use it to plot intrigues, hahahahaha.
The Seal for Eradicating Tongue-related Mischief is a great item... I was indeed careless.
At this time, Danzo, who was still in a basement somewhere in Konoha, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head. Could it be that someone was really plotting against me?
"Ryoma, prepare the information. I need to write another letter to Hanzo. If we don't solve the Rain Country, the pressure that Konoha will face in the future will be too great."
"Yes, Lord Danzo."
Ryoma's eyes were full of fanaticism, because in the eyes of his subordinates, Lord Danzo had really paid too much for Konoha to survive, constantly traveling around various battlefields and villages.
It was Lord Danzo who personally instigated the Iwakage to surround and kill the Third Raikage with tens of thousands of people.
In the subsequent attacks between several countries, the Root Department also played a big role. This time, the attack on the Rain Country was just a casual move.
I believe that with the help of Lord Danzo, that country will be plunged into war.
Danzo got the paper and pen, thought about it, and continued to learn the encouraging words seriously.
Also included is the information they collected about Noah.
This mysterious Noah is a very dangerous character.
Danzo is very concerned about the abilities and means currently demonstrated by the other party. Maybe other countries don’t take it very seriously, but to Danzo, who has been planning for some time, it is as conspicuous as a light in the dark.
The Akatsuki organization's current system is becoming more and more perfect. And what they are doing is to preserve the civilians and manpower of the Rain Country, which is very inconsistent with the state of the five major countries fighting to the point of having their brains blown out.
He must be targeted severely. At the same time, the appearance of the opponent has some benefits for him, which is that it can increase the suspicion and jealousy of that guy Hanzo.
Danzo said that the threat from Akatsuki is increasing day by day, and the Root even got some evidence of the conversation between Yahiko and the Daimyo of Rain Country and information on support supplies.
If Akatsuki gets the support of the daimyo, it will be really different from ordinary civilian peace organizations.
