Sarutobi Clan is very low-key. How to be low-key?
There are a large number of unregistered ninjas in their family. However, there are very few ninjas who perform tasks. At the same time, they do not have much apparent industry in the market.
But this is Shinobi World. Training a ninja requires a lot of resources. Konoha is the richest one among Five Great Ninja Villages.
But even so, a civilian family can only support one ninja at most. And this ninja's life will probably only end at Chunin.
If you want to become a ninja, you must first keep up with food. Adequate nutrition and good development.
Like Naruto, if it weren't for Nine-Tails and Uzumaki Constitution in the body, it would be difficult to become a ninja.
After that, tuition is required for admission. The school will provide some ninja tools for training. But if you want to go further, you must train yourself.
This requires the support of a ninja tool. The ninja tool will wear out, so this expenditure is still ongoing.
At the same time, high-intensity exercise, nutrition, various auxiliary drugs, and medical expenses are all expensive.
After that, if you can graduate and become a ninja, you won't be able to make any money at first. Various low-level tasks will make people numb. But the money will be pitiful.
Genin does not have any subsidy. If you want to become Chunin, you need to participate in Chunin Ninja Exams.
But the school will only teach Three Basic Techniques. From the beginning, participating in Chunin is basically equivalent to giving away food. This is the biggest expense of being a ninja.
Ninjutsu.
A civilian ninja who wants to learn ninjutsu can do tasks to earn points, and then redeem them through the village.
But again, at the beginning it was all D-rank Missions. I couldn't accumulate points at all, so my ninjutsu was naturally out of reach.
The second way is to spend money to buy it. Yes, it is possible to spend money. Most of Five Element Ninjutsu can be bought with money.
Just this amount of expenditure is enough to drain an ordinary person's family. Most ordinary people need to borrow money to make it.
Having said all this, they all say one thing, that is, training ninjas is a very expensive thing. The cost of training a large group of ninjas who do not need to go on missions is extremely exaggerated.
Like Hyuga, or Uchiha Clan back then, there were a lot of industries that could be maintained.
Now Ino-Shika-Cho also has pharmacies, barbecue restaurants and other industries to make a living.
But Sarutobi Clan has nothing. They don't farm, they don't go on missions, they don't open stores and do business. But they have money to cultivate and maintain a private ninja group. This is actually very incredible when you look into it carefully.
However, the power that Hokage, who became Tsunade, can mobilize is far beyond what a ninja can resist.
Tsunade quickly found out the secret of the Sarutobi Clan. They did not embezzle public funds or anything like that. At least not after Tsunade came to power.
But they have a lot of secret industries.
In Konoha, Sarutobi Clan uses various indirect means to control many lucrative industries.
Strictly speaking, Sarutobi Clan is the number one wealthy family of Konoha. It's just that Hiruzen Sarutobi is afraid of being too ostentatious, so it keeps the whole Sarutobi Clan in a low profile.
Tsunade's idea is to let Sarutobi Clan's ninjas participate in the village's tasks. His direct descendants will go to Gato's shipping group to make big money.
There is no way, Gato's business is too big now. Everyone is jealous of the large-scale shipping business. It cannot be suppressed by one or two ninjas.
After Tsunade has tasted the sweetness, he will never give up this business. Therefore, he is ready to make a fuss about the Konoha ninja clan.
Aoba After thinking for a while, he came up with a slightly different opinion.
"It is necessary to take action against the ninja. But it would be inappropriate to directly attack Sarutobi Clan. So, let's take it easy first. Let Ino-Shika-Cho and Hyuga set an example first."
Three days later, a piece of news attracted the attention of all the people in Konoha.
For some reason, all the major ninja villages in the village invited various 'retired' ninjas to start working for the village again.
To this end, Tsunade also delivered a speech.
The main content is that the village is currently in a relatively tense situation. The previous invasion by Obito was also slightly modified and disclosed as a serious invasion.
In order to help the village get through this difficult moment, the major ninja clans first set an example and sent a large number of "retired" ninjas from their own clans to start accepting tasks again.
Throughout the whole process, Hokage and the four major ninja clans can be said to have achieved mutual success and achieved harmony.
But for Konoha other ninjas, this situation is not so good.
Whether it is Ino-Shika-Cho or Hyuga, they have always been the representatives of the Konoha ninja clan.
Ino-Shika-Cho has always represented the ninja clan who are close to Hokage. Hyuga represents the neutral ninja clan.
Although the two sides cannot be said to be in opposition, they actually have differences in their positions on many issues.
But this time, the two parties actually joined forces quietly and responded to Hokage's call. This signal is really too dangerous.
The Hokage lineage is okay, after all, they are originally leaning towards Hokage. But those of the neutral faction are directly Muggles.
The goal of this faction has always been to protect the rights and interests of their own ninja clan first, and then the village.
And now, the leading brother Hyuga actually sent his own private army to defect to Hokage.
That's right, everyone knows that there are no retired ninjas, only the private armies of each family are sent out.
You must know that even Ino-Shika-Cho, who is closest to Hokage, has a private army in private. And it is not easy to use it, let alone send it out publicly to support the team.
This signal basically shows that Hyuga has completely turned to Hokage. This is undoubtedly a blow to other neutrals. The key is that they still don't know why.
For the common people of Konoha, they are happy to eat melons.
The naive ones were moved by the unity of Konoha. The smarter ones realized that Lord Fifth Hokage was not an ordinary person. He had only been in charge for a few days, but he had already taken down the four largest ninja clans of Konoha.
And it seems that Bao Buqi is doing something big.
There were private troops sent by several ninjas to support. Tsunade's manpower was barely enough. She was not in the mood to pay attention to the Sarutobi Clan for the time being, and immediately focused on making money.
If you don't become a householder, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive. After doing Hokage, I discovered that everything costs money. When any new system or new welfare is introduced, the first thing is to raise money.
It can be said that you can't do anything without money. The biggest difference between Hokage and ordinary ninjas is.
No matter how powerful you are, you cannot double the subsidy for Konoha war orphans. You cannot make Advanced Ninja School free of charge. You cannot improve Konoha Orphanage's food. You cannot support a research institute that needs money.
It is even less possible to make the entire economic system of Konoha self-sufficient without funding from the daimyo.
Therefore, Tsunade is only thinking about making money now.
