After the entrance ceremony was over, Yan returned to the Hokage's office.
Before Yan could warm up his butt, Terumi Mei pushed the door open and walked in with a file in his hand, looking like he was coming with a bad intention.
Bang!
The file was slapped heavily on the table by Terumi Mei.
"Uchiha Yan, what do you mean?"
"Isn't that the experience we promised? Look what this is!"
Yan leaned on the chair with a very relaxed posture, and slowly picked up the file on the table and took a look.
"What's the problem? Isn't this great?"
As he said that, he also raised the file in his hand.
Terumi Mei's veins were twitching when he saw it, and his face was filled with anger.
"Open your eyes and see clearly what is written on it!"
After hearing this, Yan took a closer look, then frowned and raised his head, asking with confusion on his face.
"Special Zone Street Office, Subordinate Committee executive member, no problem?"
Terumi Mei clenched his fists after hearing this and gritted his teeth.
"This is where you arranged for me to gain experience? What kind of bullshit administrative member is it? The one responsible for mediating conflicts is not as good as a handyman!"
Damn it Uchiha Yan, at first she thought this position was a relatively important position when it was combined with the word "administration".
As a result, at the end of the day, she was left to deal with conflicts between parents.
How could anyone get into a fight over losing a cat?
How could anyone yell at someone just because they lay down in their place for a while?
It had only been more than a month, and she felt that she had aged at least ten years. How could she get married in the future?
"I don't care anyway, just give me another position, even if I go to fight in the army."
But he never thought that Yan shook his head with disdain and said.
"Don't even think about the army. Are you willing to be a leader? But if you are asked to be a commander, what do you know?"
"Are you going to the army to cause trouble?"
"..."
"But... but..." Terumi Mei pursed his lips, a little aggrieved by the criticism, "I really can't do that administrative meeting, it's all trivial things!"
Yan shook his head helplessly, stood up from the chair, walked around the table to Terumi Mei, and comforted him.
"Ming, I know that you are the Jonin of Kirigakure and one of the leaders of the previous civil war."
"But have you ever thought about it, times have changed."
While talking, Yan pulled Terumi Mei to the window and pointed to the very busy street outside.
"Look at the people outside, most of them are just ordinary people, but they have found their value in Konoha and shine here."
"Is this possible for you Kirigakure?"
"..."
Terumi Mei looked out the window, not knowing what to say for a moment.
If this were not the case, she would not agree to stay and work for Uchiha Yan for a few years.
Don't you just want to learn how to make Kirigakure stronger here?
"But what does this have to do with that executive member?"
"Of course it does matter!" Yan turned his head, looked at Terumi Mei's beautiful face, and said with a smile.
"If you want ordinary people to be of use to you, then you naturally have to understand what they need!"
"Don't you know the truth behind doing what you want?"
"..."
At this time, Terumi Mei was still a little suspicious, "Is this really okay? By dealing with those trivial things, you can understand their needs?"
"Of course, believe me!" Yan nodded with a smile, "Didn't you learn anything in this month?"
Terumi Mei frowned, "What can we learn?"
"A child cannot be taught!" Yan sighed, "How do you deal with those trivial things?"
"Do you want three big boards each? This is just treating the symptoms and not the root cause!"
"..."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Terumi Mei seemed a little unconvinced, "You don't know how difficult those people are, and you can't even talk to them!"
"So, do you take Special Zone's hierarchy seriously?"
Yan returned to the chair, sat down, leaned back, and continued.
"What is the purpose of the hierarchy is to make the class divisions between them clear."
"For such a trivial matter, just favor the higher-level villagers!"
"..."
Terumi Mei is still a little confused at this time, "What if they are of the same level?"
"All ordinary people have been arrested. As for ninjas, everything will be taken lightly. If there is a conflict between ninjas and villagers, we will favor the ninjas unconditionally!" Yan blurted out.
"But won't this cause trouble?"
"What trouble can happen? Ordinary people, ordinary people. If he is not ordinary, how can he be an ordinary person?"
"..."
Terumi Mei I suddenly felt a little numb on my scalp and couldn't help scratching my head.
"Then what's the difference between this and my Kirigakure's Bloody Mist Policy?"
"No, no, no!" Yan stretched out his index finger and waved it in front of her, "The difference is huge!"
"You Kirigakure don't treat ordinary people as human beings, but I, Konoha, treat ordinary people as parts, as part of Konoha."
"What ordinary people pursue is just basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and other things are out of their reach, and I can give them all these."
Having said this, Yan suddenly sneered.
"As the saying goes, be afraid of comparison in everything!"
"Compared with other places, Konoha, which only provides food, clothing, housing and transportation, is enough to become a dream place for everyone in Ninja World."
"..."
Terumi Mei was silent for a long time, looking at the busy figures outside the window, seeming to be thinking about what Yan said.
"But, is such a hierarchy really fair?" Terumi Mei asked with a frown.
Yan crossed his hands behind his head, leaned on the chair, and said leisurely.
"Fair? There is no absolute fairness in this world."
"In Konoha, the hierarchy is to maintain order so that everything can be executed in an orderly manner and avoid unnecessary troubles."
"And those ordinary people who can get a stable life in Konoha will be willing to accept such rules."
Terumi Mei bit his lip, still hesitating. "But, I always feel that doing this will make people dissatisfied."
Yan sat up straight and his eyes became sharp. "That's because you haven't seen the overall situation of Konoha yet."
"When Konoha is strong enough to protect everyone, these small dissatisfactions will be ignored."
"Moreover, we will also make adjustments in secret to prevent this dissatisfaction from accumulating to the point of exploding."
"As an administrative member, you must not only learn to deal with these trivial matters, but also know how to see the overall situation of Konoha from these trivial matters."
"..."
After Terumi Mei was silent for a moment, he slowly said, "I seem to understand, but can this really make Kirigakure stronger?"
Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said confidently, "Of course."
"When a place can meet the most basic needs of ordinary people, they will be willing to pay for this place."
"In order to maintain this sense of superiority, ninjas will identify more with this place, because other places cannot give them such a high status."
Terumi Mei sighed, "I feel that this method is a bit cold, but I have to admit that it does make sense."
Yan stood up, walked to Terumi Mei, patted her shoulder and said.
"This is reality. If you want to make a village strong, you must make choices."
Terumi Mei bit his lip and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll try again."
"But I still hope there is a better way, which can not only make the village strong, but also make everyone feel fair and respected."
Yan smiled and said, "Fairness and respect are relative. When a village is strong enough to protect everyone, there will naturally be fairness and respect."
After saying that, Yan turned around and returned to his desk, continuing to deal with the mountain of files.
Terumi Mei stood there, looking out the window at the busy streets, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
Meanwhile, Land of Rain.
This country, which seemed to have been abandoned by God, once again ushered in a bright and sunny day.
In the high tower, Nagato, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked out the window. Next to him stood Konan, who had a temperament as elegant as Ajisai.
"Konan, Land of Rain seems to have really gotten better!"
Konan walked gently to Nagato, her lavender hair fluttering in the wind.
"Yes, this is all your fault, Nagato!"
Nagato sighed slightly, "This country has experienced too much suffering, wars, and killings, and the people have been struggling in pain."
Konan's eyes were full of love and determination. "But now, we are changing everything."
"The efforts you have made and the pain you have endured are all to give Land of Rain new hope."
Nagato shook his head, with a trace of self-mockery in his eyes. "What I have done is not enough."
"The wars in the past left this land devastated, and countless families were torn apart. The fear and despair in the eyes of every Land of Rain people stung me like a knife."
Konan gently held Nagato's hand. "But look now, although the people on the street are not rich yet, they already have smiles on their faces."
"The children are no longer afraid. This is the change brought about by Akatsuki Organization's actions."
Nagato nodded. "Our ideal has not yet been realized. Although Akatsuki Organization's actions are gradually advancing, it is still far from true peace."
Konan looked at Nagato, his eyes full of worry.
"But your body..."
"My body is no longer important. As long as I can see peace coming to this world, especially us Land of Rain, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life."
At this time, a breeze blew by, and Nagato couldn't help but cough a few times.
Konan hurriedly supported him and said distressedly, "Don't worry too much, we will realize our ideal step by step."
Nagato calmed down, looked at Konan's eyes gradually softened, and said.
"Today's Ninja World situation is still complicated, and this is also our opportunity!"
Konan frowned slightly, "But will we be involved in a bigger Uzumaki?"
"For the sake of peace, this is a risk we must take."
"We have no other choice. Only by completely changing the rules of this world can Land of Rain and all countries and people persecuted by war usher in true peace."
"Then what are you going to do?" Uchiha Obito's voice suddenly came from behind Nagato.
Konan stared hard, lowered his hands, and hid them in his sleeves.
But Nagato shook his head at Konan, signaling her not to act rashly, and then smiled lightly at Uchiha Obito.
"You came just in time, I need to discuss a business deal with you!"
"Business?" Uchiha Obito became interested.
In his eyes, Nagato is just a puppet being used, and now he actually wants to negotiate terms with him.
"Tell me about it!"
"I know you controlled Land of Water and ended Land of Water's civil strife ahead of schedule. Please cooperate. Land of Rain and Land of Water fully cooperate!"
After hearing this, Uchiha Obito's eyes instantly became solemn.
Is it possible that Black Zetsu told Nagato about this matter? But it's also impossible!
But since he already knew it, Obito did not deny it.
"What kind of cooperation method?"
Nagato smiled slightly, "As far as I know, after the civil war, some of the defeated Kirigakure Ninja went to Konoha, hoping to borrow troops to counterattack Land of Water."
"And the fact that you control Fourth Mizukage can't be kept secret for long!"
"..."
"So!" Obito asked back, "You still haven't said how to cooperate!"
Nagato did not deliberately show off, "I have already stepped onto the stage, and now it is your turn."
"Become a true leader of Land of Water. As long as you can bring substantial benefits to Kirigakure Ninja, they who have been baptized by Bloody Mist Policy will not care whether you control Mizukage!"
"..."
"What on earth do you want to do?" Obito frowned, feeling for the first time that Nagato seemed to be gradually getting out of his control.
"Konoha!" Nagato gently spit out two words and explained.
"Konoha's power is too great and must be suppressed. Once Land of Water and Land of Rain move, several other countries will also move!"
Obito's eyes gradually became solemn, and he couldn't help but ask, "Have you discussed it with them?"
Although they didn't say it clearly, everyone present knew who they were.
Nagato shook his head, "Not yet, but as long as you nod, leave the rest to me!"
After finishing speaking, Obito also fell into deep thought.
Regardless of the pros and cons, this proposal is sure to make money without losing any money.
On the one hand, he really wanted to check and balance Konoha's power, but on the other hand, he was worried that Nagato's move had ulterior motives.
Obito looked at Nagato with complex eyes, a trace of doubt and trade-off flashed in his eyes.
He clasped his hands on his chest, leaned back slightly, and stood in the dark tower room.
The surrounding air seemed to be frozen, and only a few rays of light came from the window, forming mottled light and shadow on the ground.
After a long time, Obito slowly said, "What you said is very tempting, but how can I be sure that this is not a conspiracy of yours?"
Nagato smiled gently, with a calmness that understood everything.
He was sitting in a wheelchair, his thin body leaning forward slightly, his hands on the armrests, and his eyes looking directly at Obito.
"You are indeed not Uchiha Madara!"
Although the voice was a little weak, it was filled with unquestionable certainty.
"Although I have never met him, I have heard about his deeds. He cannot be as timid as you!"
"I'll continue to call you 'Madara' for now!"
"..."
