"The people in this country seem a bit strange, and their living environments and living conditions..."
Not long after entering the Land of Grass, Kushina discovered the problem, though she couldn't quite put her finger on the specifics.
She just felt it was rather strange.
"Do you feel that their lives are extremely difficult, and it's inversely proportional to this country's environment?"
Jingyi took the initiative to explain.
"Yes!!!"
Kushina clenched her small fist and waved it slightly. "I've always had this feeling. It's just very vague, and I couldn't put it into words."
The environment of the Land of Grass was similar to that of the Land of Fire, and logically speaking, it belonged to a small country rich in resources. Yet, the lives of the commoners in this country were a whole lot worse than those of the Land of Fire.
Passing through certain villages, you would even feel as though you had arrived at some sort of refugee camp.
"It really is very strange."
As a talented young woman, Mikoto Uchiha understood economics and people's livelihood much better than Kushina and Mie Hyuga did.
"With their country's environment and resources, even without economic development, simply relying on agriculture should be enough to allow the citizens to lead a stable and prosperous life."
"The neighboring Land of Fields is the best proof of that."
The Land of Fields was a relatively famous agricultural nation in the Shinobi World. Even though it was a very small country, its agricultural development was top-tier, and every year it could earn a lot of money simply by relying on grain sales.
So, the question arose: if the Land of Fields could do this, why couldn't the Land of Grass?
Consequently, the three girls, filled with bewilderment, all looked at Jingyi.
Explain.
