"That was something the Daimyo needed to consider. Besides, the Land of Fire could support more people, couldn't it? Once the population increased, the ones who ultimately benefited would still be the Land of Fire and Konoha."
Ronglin was heartlessly considering the benefits of a larger population, leaving Tsunade and Minato with black lines across their faces. They were discussing the refugee problem right now!!
Although the Land of Fire's territory ranked neither high nor low among the Five Great Nations, it was the most fertile and could support more people. But were these refugees really so easy to settle?
Everything was difficult at the start. To take in these refugees, they had to find a way to organize them, build them houses, provide them with food, and reclaim farmland.
They would even need to provide seeds for planting and enough food for an entire year. Only after the harvest in the second year would these people have the means to support themselves.
That entire series of arrangements would probably make the Land of Fire's Daimyo curse his mother.
If refugees were that easy to settle, then no country would refuse to let them in. Konoha was no exception—it would not easily accept refugees created by war.
Even when it did accept them, it was limited to children.
Far away in the Land of Rain, the Daimyo, who was still playing cards, suddenly felt a chill wind sweep over him and could not help sneezing several times.
"Strange, did I catch a cold?"
Though he was one of the most powerful and wealthy people in the Land of Fire, the Daimyo was still only an ordinary person.
He looked behind him in confusion, blinked uncertainly, had someone bring him a coat, and continued playing cards.
Eating, drinking, and having fun
