Shinobi World's national system has always been very unhealthy and even deformed.
Ninja Village controls the highest level of military force in the country, but it basically has no power. It is an armed violence organization that needs to go out and perform tasks for people to earn money.
Moreover, the money earned was simply not enough to spend, and most of it had to be funded by daimyo. Even in major ninja villages, the choice of kage required the daimyo's nod.
In fact, it is not impossible for the political system to lead the military system. But all this must have a premise, that is, the country's political and military needs to be under the same team. You have me, and I have you, intertwined and coexisting with each other.
The national system of Shinobi World is obviously not the same. The daimyo and the ninja village are two systems, unrelated to each other. But it is outrageous that one of them can legally lead the other.
The key is that no one in Shinobi World seemed to notice anything was wrong. Those powerful ninja villages all assumed that they were led by daimyo.
All this until the appearance of Aoba.
Among the reforms promoted by Aoba in Konoha, the most important point is the commercialization of Konoha.
Using Konoha's powerful force as a backing. Starting with Gato's shipping group, Konoha's ninja army knocked on doors everywhere to engage in free trade. At the same time, they also supported many agents and occupied the mines of Land of Fire, Land of Wind, and even many surrounding small countries.
He started doing business and mining. In less than a year, Konoha became self-sufficient and had too much money to spend.
Konoha can expand unscrupulously and increase the population. The biggest confidence lies in two words, money.
After I became rich, Konoha naturally began to distance myself from the daimyo. I used to listen to you because I had no money and needed your funding. It was also a long-standing habit.
Now that we have money, we don't need funding from daimyo. The top management of Konoha suddenly discovered that not having a daimyo seems to have no impact on us, and it has even become better.
The people of Konoha do not have such a clear understanding. However, some smart people have also noticed something different. That is, there has been no news about Konoha's famous name for a long time.
The daimyo are not fools either. Although most of the nobles have turned into a bunch of losers due to their pampering over the years, there are still some sensible people among them.
They noticed the changes in Konoha and realized something was wrong. Giving the command for Konoha to support Kumogakure was a typical compliance test. They wanted to know whether Konoha was really out of control.
In addition, the daimyo are not completely without force. Except for Twelve Guardian Ninja, the daimyo of Land of Fire actually have their own ninja army.
As nobles, they actually have their own ninja training system. It's just that they have always regarded ninjas as tools and never really paid attention to them. The ninjas they cultivated have decent loyalty but only have the same combat effectiveness.
However, the daimyo nobles themselves did not know this. Most of them even believed that their ninja troops had an absolute advantage over Jonin Village. Therefore, even if Konoha showed alienation, they still dared to stir up trouble.
Konoha, Hokage's Office. After everyone dispersed, only Aoba and Tsunade were left.
"What are you going to do? Rush over and kill Land of Fire's name?"
"It won't be like this from the beginning. In fact, completely destroying the Daimyo will not be of any benefit to the current Land of Fire.
Although they have little impact on the Ninja Village, they have a huge impact on other cities, politics, business, and even life in Land of Fire. Their sudden destruction may lead to large-scale unrest in Land of Fire."
"You know, Aoba. Sometimes I feel that you are a very... peculiar person. You are obviously one of the strongest ninjas in Shinobi World. But your eyes are more on the people at the lower level."
"Maybe it's because I came from the lower class."
"That's true. You are now the idol of all civilian ninjas."
"Haha, that means what I did is not good enough. Shinobi World has been suppressed by the rotten rules for too long. To truly liberate it, an unprecedented reshuffle is needed. The good news is that that day is not far away."
After Aoba finished speaking, he found that Tsunade was looking at him quietly. There was a hint of charm in his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, this word is difficult to use on Tsunade. He has always been a strong and capable leader.
Even when she was with Aoba, she had to be on top. Although she was counter-pressured by Aoba in the end, she never admitted defeat.
However, as Aoba became stronger and stronger and did more and more things, Tsunade's attitude towards him also changed slightly.
Tsunade initially became close to Aoba because of his disappointment with Jiraiya and his own loneliness.
Jiraiya disappeared completely after Tsunade returned. There was no news from Tsunade, which completely disappointed Tsunade.
At the same time, after Tsunade relieved his heart knot, although his body was young, his psychological and physical loneliness could not be resolved.
At this time, the powerful, excellent, rational and handsome Aoba appeared beside her. Naturally, she attracted Tsunade's attention. Then, Aoba naturally became her lover.
That's right, in Tsunade's heart, Aoba is her lover and the living tool she uses to comfort herself.
However, as time goes by, the relationship between the two of them has undergone some subtle changes.
Tsunade herself also noticed her own changes, but this time she didn't want to restrain herself.
The two rolled into each other again in the office without any suspense.
After a long time, Aoba left the office and came to the edge of Konoha, the clan of Uchiha.
Recently, there have been many more people living in the residential area of Uchiha's clan. These people are Mei Terumī and others who took refuge in Konoha.
They had tried to infiltrate Kirigakure before and investigate what happened to Kirigakure. However, Kirigakure, where Youban and Black Zetsu were in charge, was not something they could touch at all.
After several times, Mei Terumī also ended her testing of Kirigakure in despair. She now understands that the possibility of reviving Kirigakure is very low.
The only thing we can do now is to keep the elite Kirigakure in our hands in order to hope that there will be an illusory opportunity in the future.
Currently, they have rented some houses in Uchiha Clan Compound and even started to make money by doing tasks in the name of Konoha Ninja.
There is no way, it costs money to rent a house. It also costs money to feed and drink nearly a hundred people. Now they can only immerse themselves in work and revive Kirigakure, and they have no time to take care of it.
When Aoba came to their station, only Mei Terumī and a very small number of Kirigakure Ninja were at home. Everyone else had gone out to do tasks.
"Mr. Aoba, you are a rare visitor." Mei Terumī served tea to Aoba. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was actually a little panicked in her heart.
The current situation in Shinobi World is extremely complicated. No matter where Mei Terumī goes, there will be no good results. Konoha is one of the very few forces that can protect them and has not yet taken action against them.
The good news is that Aoba has no intention of driving them away. The bad news is that some things cannot be avoided after all.
"Ms. Mei Terumī, I have a task here, I hope you can consider it."
