What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?.

Chapter 138: Tsunade is full of resentment, Orochimaru is glad he didn't become Hokage (1 more)
Of course, to the daimyos, nobles and landlords, the plant catalyst produced by Orochimaru is a bad thing, but to Konoha it is undoubtedly a good thing.

As an important military town, although Konoha does not cultivate land, the amount of land cultivated is very small. It is mainly some civilians in the village who cultivate land in some places outside Konoha Village.

What is grown are usually cash crops such as fruits and vegetables, rather than grain. Grain and other staple foods are mainly obtained through foreign trade, and a large amount of Konoha Village's annual income is also spent on purchasing grain.

The reason for doing this instead of letting the ninjas farm is mainly because the professional requirements of ninjas since ancient times have been to complete missions and participate in wars.

In fact, usually even participation in wars is issued in the form of missions, so it can be said that the nature of mercenaries has been fully utilized.

Of course, this is not the main reason. If you really want to let the ninjas farm, that's fine. As long as it is arranged in the form of a task, there are plenty of ninjas willing to do those farming tasks. Not to mention anything else, every year the landlords and nobles who own a large amount of land will spend money to hire ninjas to help with farming, especially for jobs like reclaiming wasteland. Ninjas are the best choice, and the ninjas who accept the tasks can also complete these tasks well.

The key reason why ninjas don't farm is that it takes too long to harvest crops and requires a long time to take care of them, which wastes the ninjas' time and results in the benefits being disproportionate to the effort. The benefits are far lower than simply accepting missions.

Moreover, even if they really want to farm, such long-term profitable things can be easily destroyed - when the target is a military force like Konoha Village, other villages are happy to destroy farmland or crops in order to inflict heavy losses on the enemy at a very small cost.

In the history of the ninja world, many ninja forces have actually tried to farm on their own, but unfortunately all of them were destroyed and none of them succeeded. At the very least, farming on a quarterly basis is simply a sitting duck for hostile forces.

Therefore, ninjas basically do not take the initiative to farm. Some of them just open a small vegetable garden in their backyard or outside the Konoha Village and grow some crops themselves, and they don’t feel bad if the fields are destroyed.

This is exactly why ninjas don't use their awesome abilities to farm. After all, no matter how fancy their abilities are, or how fast they can cultivate the fields, it's all in vain if they can't guarantee the safety of the fields and harvest the crops faster than the botanical limit.

However, now that Orochimaru has developed plant catalysts and can ensure that the fertility of the soil is not harmed and can even be fed back, many methods that were previously impossible to use can now be used.

Hokage's office.

Several high-ranking officials of Konoha were already there. Tsunade, who was already the assistant of the new Hokage, took the initiative to take over the work of presiding over the meeting at the nod of the Third Hokage. She looked at Orochimaru and asked, "Orochimaru, can the effect of this catalyst be confirmed? Are you sure that the crops grown are harmless to the human body?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, who now had the demeanor of a Hokage, and then glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was watching everything with a smile and had the temperament of a retired old man, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

It actually worked. Although the old man was old, his courage and decisiveness were stronger than expected. When Tsunade came to him and expressed her intention to take over the responsibility of Hokage, he was only slightly surprised, and then simply handed some work to Tsunade. After Tsunade had worked for three days, he made her the new assistant Hokage, and all the command rights of the Anbu were also given to Tsunade.

Obviously, this is all about throwing the position of Hokage to Tsunade, and then retiring quickly to enjoy the pace of life.

The three generations are more open to the desire for control over power than one might imagine.

In other words, the previous three generations were struggling over who would be the Fourth Hokage. Although Orochimaru was the most likely successor, his personality always made the third generation worried and conflicted, which is why they seemed to have a desire for power.

But Tsunade is different. Whether in terms of personality or reputation, she is undoubtedly the most suitable one among the three ninjas to be Hokage.

In fact, this is also reflected in the original Naruto. When the fifth generation was selected after the death of the third generation, the two F4 consultants originally wanted Jiraiya to take the position because he was the only suitable one at the time.

However, when Jiraiya recommended Tsunade and said that he could solve the problem of Tsunade not returning to the village, he directly accepted Tsunade's proposal to be Hokage - at that time Tsunade had not even overcome her hemophobia.

From this we can see that Tsunade was the popular choice to be Hokage. She was the granddaughter of the first Hokage, one of the Three Ninjas of Konoha, the strongest medical ninja, had a very good relationship with the daimyo and nobles, and had a high prestige among the civilian ninjas.

Taking all these factors into consideration, there is only one reason why this person did not become Hokage, and that is that she herself did not want to.

Things are different now. Tsunade is determined to become Hokage with the will to protect her brother, and Orochimaru has voluntarily withdrawn. So no one, from the Third Hokage to the civilian ninjas of Konoha, will refuse.

This is the case right now. Seeing the power of Hokage being transferred so smoothly, Orochimaru felt very emotional. He also understood that the desire for power shown by the third generation old man was actually because he was not confident in him.

“It’s really… a bit frustrating.”

"If I hadn't met Qijun, I would have known the old man's true thoughts and would have been very angry and disappointed, and would have joined the Root without hesitation."

"Or maybe he will use other methods to prove himself and try to prove to the old man that he is right."

"However, now I have already seen the smooth road ahead. Boring disputes over personal responsibilities, the position of Hokage, and being recognized by the old man are actually not important."

With a smile on his face and an extremely calm heart, Orochimaru answered Tsunade's question: "There is nothing wrong with the theoretical data, and the experimental results in the laboratory are also fine. At least the animals used in the experiment ate the food grown with the catalyst without any problems."

"As for the human body, I suggest using the prisoners in Konoha Prison for human experiments. Alternatively, captured hostile ninjas are also acceptable."

"Also, I plan to open up a test field outside the research institute established by Uchiha, and then conduct field planting tests, and the feeding effect experiment can also be carried out simultaneously." "If nothing goes wrong, the catalyst can be officially put into use at the beginning of next year. Then by next year, our Konoha can directly change from a grain importing place to a grain exporting place, bringing a new source of income to Konoha, and a large amount of grain output can also ensure that our Konoha can recruit more outsiders."

After listening to Orochimaru's narration, Tsunade nodded seriously, then looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu, and Mito Kado En: "I support Orochimaru's proposal and request. What about you three?"

The three of them nodded in agreement without hesitation and chose to support it together.

Although the Third Hokage had PTSD about human experiments, he only targeted people in the village. Orochimaru directly used criminals and spies from other villages to do this, which was a reasonable utilization of waste in the eyes of the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage was a good guy.

But this good man is only targeting the village.

This ninja hero has never been a good person to enemies outside the village.

Then, Tsunade called an Anbu and handed over the matter, and then took charge of the issue of the production and sale of aphrodisiacs.

This project was invested in by Uchiha Kei and others, and was developed in the name of Orochimaru's personal laboratory. The distribution of profits had been made long time ago. The village had a share of the profits, and the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce also had a share of the profits. Uchiha Kei and other investors owned a part.

It can be said to be a classic Uchiha Kei-style operation, pulling all parties into this interest group so that everyone can get rich together.

Although the share of money will be less, with the increase in sales, expansion of the market, and protection from all parties to ensure the safety of the products, the profit will only be more.

If you don't understand, then simply put, if Uchiha Qi and his team do it themselves, the market size will be 10 points, and if they eat alone, they can also get 10 points of profit.

But if all parties join in, the market can quickly reach 100 or even higher, and in this way, even if they only have 10% of the profits, they can get more than if they had it all to themselves.

What's more, the interests they retain are not 10%, but 30% - such a large share is simply impossible on earth, because capital will infinitely compress the interests of the founders and even kick the founders out.

In other words, the people in the ninja world were quite "simple and honest" in this regard. When they saw that the original investors like Uchiha Kai only got 30% of the profits, they even felt embarrassed and thought that the money was too much to handle, and they wanted Uchiha Kai and others to get more.

When Uchiha Kei insisted on only 30% on behalf of the others, the others could only sigh that Uchiha Kei really had a broad mind and possessed a strong vision and courage. If it were not for his lack of strength, he would probably have a large number of people supporting him if he were to run for Hokage.

It can only be said that, in a sense, ninjas are really quite "simple", and they are not at all tainted by the terrible exploitative instincts of the daimyo nobles, nor do they have the unlimited desires of capitalism.

Uchiha Kai only hopes that such a wonderful investment atmosphere can last forever - at least, the longer the better before he has the power to oppress the entire ninja world.

In short, once the research and development results of aphrodisiac drugs are confirmed to be correct, the production mode should be directly started and put on the market.

Konoha is in the lead, and the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for sales. The profits and taxes will be paid as they should. In this regard, the Konoha top management is still very flexible, especially when Tsunade is directly in charge.

After the discussion on the aphrodisiac was over, Orochimaru was ready to leave. However, at this moment, Tsunade stopped Orochimaru and asked in an unhappy tone: "Orochimaru, Jiraiya hasn't come back yet, do you understand what I mean?"

Orochimaru: "...Where is he?"

Tsunade: "Tansho-cho."

Orochimaru nodded: "Okay, I understand. I will bring him back later."

Tsunade hummed, "Sorry to bother you, bring that guy back as soon as possible. Humph, he just stays out all day and never comes back. I'm so busy now, but he's still having fun outside! Come back to work immediately!"

The following words were full of resentful complaints, and he glared at the Third Hokage fiercely, causing the Third Hokage to cough twice in embarrassment, and then began to say that this was a training and test for Tsunade. After all, all the work she was doing now was what a Hokage should do.

This made Tsunade even more unhappy, and she impatiently interrupted the Third Hokage's "casting", then sent Orochimaru away, and called Namikaze Minato, who had become her exclusive guard, and threw a bunch of work to him to do.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze had to enter the 996 corporate animal status, showing the good side that everyone has a bright future.

Seeing everything, Orochimaru was filled with emotion, and then was glad that he did not become Hokage, otherwise he would be the one who was busy as a dog.
