Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 692 Ninja

After all, who doesn't like power?

After all, why can Mamoru Kageyama become the Prime Minister of the Cabinet through the election, but they can't?
Watching Kageyama Mamoru take control of the country's administrative power through public opinion elections with his own eyes, reaching a position of power that only a daimyo could have achieved, how could he not feel itchy?
After all, they are MPs.

The constitution stipulates that everyone is eligible to run for office.

constitution……

The power of these two words not only shocked the hearts of the people of the Land of Fire, but also shocked the hearts of many Konoha ninjas. Nara Shikahisa was the one who was most touched.

Hokage-sama, this time it's for real...

Witnessing that Lei Luo passed Takashi Maeda, the group of capitalists, Yuu Chida, the most powerful aristocratic bureaucrat in the Land of Fire, and even Mitsue Daimyo with an extremely ugly face, he walked up to the little-known man Shake hands with her...

The fire of desire burst out unconsciously from the bottom of my heart, and at this moment, after receiving Lei Luo's clear promise, it completely boiled.

The day passed and the night came. After hours of long thinking, Lu Jiu came to the conclusion: Instead of continuing to focus on the family and the village, it is better to simply play a big game.

At present, it seems that the prime minister and the prime minister are almost at the same level. The only difference is that one is in charge of specifics and the other is in charge of direction. However, they are both greater than Hokage and Konoha, and greater than all officials. They are only responsible to members of Congress and to the Constitution.

This kind of power, this kind of status and prestige, even if it is only for five years, it is absolutely worthwhile, and being Hokage is not as satisfying as it is.

What's more, after the world is unified...

"Lu Jiu, do you intend to be the next prime minister?"

The question that came from his ear made Lu Jiu wake up suddenly from his immersion. He looked at Lei Luo's half-smile profile, and said rather embarrassingly:

"Master Hokage, I made you laugh."

Saying that, Lu Jiu shook his head with a wry smile, then sighed:
"How difficult is it to gain the support of the people? I, Shikahisa Nara, am not an official, nor can I bring benefits to the people like businessmen. I am just a ninja..."

When Lu Jiu was speaking, Lei Luo tapped his fingers on the table, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but interrupted: "In other words, you really want to be the prime minister?"

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, Lu Jiu hesitated again and again, and finally nodded with difficulty, and then he did not speak, but just looked at Lei Luo steadfastly.

It seems that I didn't expect that Lu Jiu's ambition would be so big. In connection with the series of questions and answers before, this is simply thinking that in the future, he will command this Hokage as a Konoha ninja...

The thoughts in his mind were ups and downs. Lei Luo pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled. He raised his head and looked at Lu Jiu. He didn't comment on the ambition of the Nara patriarch, but gave his own very straightforwardly. opinion:

"Lu Jiu, if you want to become prime minister, you need to gain the approval of the people. It's useless to please me just by responding to the peaceful evolution plan. This will not make you reach the sky in one step."

Noticing that Lu Jiu's expression didn't change, but his eyes dimmed slightly, Lei Luo thought about it carefully, and decided to give this young man with a high IQ a chance:
"In the first Congress, I did not allow Konoha Ninja to participate in the voting stage, because they lacked sufficient understanding of high-ranking officials and capitalists. If they mix things up randomly, it will only make others think that I, Hokage and Prime Minister, are engaged in insider trading."

"In this way, the authority of the Constitution cannot be established."

"But..." He elongated the tone slightly, and noticed a slight fluctuation in Lu Jiu's complexion, Lei Luo's expression became much more serious, and his eyes became sharper:

"When did I say that the people only mean the law-abiding civilian class? Do you really think that I will permanently exclude ninjas from the national polity?"

"Letting you and the seven ninjas from the secretariat enter the Congress is not just what I want, but you, from now on, will officially represent Konoha, and even, in the near future, will represent the group of ninjas. "

"Ninja's rights need you to realize, ninja's demands need to be conveyed by you, and ninja's beliefs need to be connected with you. This is the true meaning of my letting you enter Congress."

"If it's really a matter of making a statement, then it's enough for me to directly support Guanghui as a daimyo. Why create a parliament that divides my own power? Hmm? Use your ingenuity to think about it."

Lu Jiu frowned and pondered for a long time, before answering hesitantly: "Is it for making the country stronger? For long-term considerations? To serve the expansion strategy?"

Several consecutive questions revealed Lu Jiu's bewilderment. Looking at the other party's appearance, Lei Luo sighed deeply, and said slowly:

"The most fundamental purpose is to cut off the chains of fate that have been imposed on ninjas for thousands of years, so that ninjas are no longer weapons and tools, but living beings with all legitimate rights—people."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Lu Jiu's surprised, even shocking expression, Lei Luo stood up, his face regained his composure, but there was a slight complex fluctuation in his tone:

"War and killing are the theme song of the ninja world. I can't avoid this, but what caused this situation? Let ninjas kill each other forever? There seems to be no end in sight?"

"In my opinion, it is the system, and it is also given by the society, and the meaning imposed on the professional group of ninjas."

"Ninjas who completely surpass ordinary people in terms of force and ninjas with various extraordinary abilities will naturally be jealous and rejected by ordinary people. This is unavoidable."

"So, the whole society will spontaneously form the idea of ​​using ninjas as aliens, that is, as weapons and tools. This is a trend, and it is also what people want. Up to now, it has formed an unbreakable concept."

"There are two ways to break this concept. One is to take advantage of the violent ideological impact brought about by the changes of the times to make the most of the situation; The community speaks out."

"Today's ninjas, even if they are not suitable for having the right to vote temporarily because they have been separated from the country and society for too long, but in the future, the national ninja plan will be rolled out and the Konoha Military District plan will be prepared. This situation will naturally change."

"Ninjas are supposed to have the powers of citizens, and they must also have the powers of citizens. Do you understand? Those who intend to become the prime minister of the country-Konoha Ninja, Nara Shikahisa?"

"The next congressional election will cover all tax-paying citizens of the Land of Fire, so where is your position and who are your voters... Go back and think about it."

As Lei Luo's flat tone fell, Lu Jiu still didn't recover from the whole set of theoretical system he had just heard for a long time. He didn't suppress the trembling in his heart until he saw that white cloak was about to go away. , asking the last question aloud:
"Master Naruto! Please tell me, what will the ninja look like in the future?"

Lei Luo stopped slightly, looked back at the young subordinate who was eager for an answer, and without hesitation, directly expressed his thoughts:
"In my territory, there will be no ninjas in the future, only talented workers and...soldiers."
