Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 195 The Land of Rain Gets Back on Track

"We've managed to get back on track, albeit barely."

Jin sighed as he looked at the documents on the table.

There are just so many things to deal with.

Managing a city is really not easy, and the key is that there's not much to learn from it.

The major cities in the Land of Fire are somewhat better off; at least the Land of Fire values its image, and its major cities also need to develop.

While there is oppression, it's not as severe as in smaller countries. At most, people only receive half of their income, and with hard work, the next generation still has a chance to escape poverty and become wealthy.

Of course, if you have too much money, it might attract the covetous eyes of nobles, who might take it all away.

This kind of thing happens all the time in the world.

However, this applies to city management.

The aristocratic management methods in this world can be divided into three levels.

In this day and age, the most common approach is to leave ordinary people with just enough money to survive; anything beyond that is taxed.

This is the lowest grade.

The second tier consists of those who only accept half of the income of commoners; such city lords, nobles, and other high-ranking officials all have a good reputation.

The third tier is relatively rare. These are people who are so wealthy that they sometimes don't even care about their own people and leave their commoners to fend for themselves.

Such cities are generally developing well.

The Land of Rain belongs to the first tier; they keep only enough money from all their income to make ends meet, and work for the nobles all year round.

It can be said that they ride roughshod over everyone.

Jin even felt that even without the war, the people of the Rain Country were not living very well.

They all lived in dire straits.

It's just a matter of waiting to die versus dying immediately; the difference isn't actually that significant.

Haha.

What a hellish joke!

Nowadays, most of the nobles of the Rain Country who were able to leave have already done so; the rest have died in the Rain Country.

As for how he died, no one knows. Ninjas from the Great Ninja Village rarely attack nobles, and ninjas from the Land of Rain don't have the time or inclination for that.

Their deaths became a mystery.

Jin's methods for managing cities were still based on those of cities from his previous life.

Currently, public security and tax revenue are relatively stable, and tax revenue is barely enough to cover the expenses of both armies. If there is any further expansion, the tax revenue will not be able to keep up.

Moreover, the people of the Land of Rain didn't have much money at first, so they could only provide work relief. In order to keep the city running, Jin himself spent 300 million.

Because of this matter.

Jin looked at the desk not far away, where Kakuzu was gazing sadly into the distance.

Recently, because I spent too much money, this person became depressed.

I wonder what his expression would be if he knew that a spendthrift woman would spend all his savings in the future.

"Tsk tsk." Jin shook his head and sighed.

He didn't seem to mind spending his money.

"So, haven't you been receiving a steady stream of money lately?"

Kim tried to persuade Kakuzu.

Jiao didn't even look at Jin; his face was still full of sorrow.

How can they be the same? What's spent is spent, and what's earned back is earned back.

One minus one plus one does not equal one; sometimes it is actually negative one.

"So how's your money going?"

Jin could only change the subject.

When asked about the name, Jin was speechless. The name had nothing to do with him; it was given to him by the military members themselves.

In the end, it was accepted by everyone.

The main reason is that both Kakuzu and Hanzo have accepted their respective names.

"Training is progressing well; these guys are all working really hard."

Kakuzu received the training manual from Kin and didn't make any mistakes, except that his Qianjun team wasn't yet at full strength.

He just accidentally killed a few people, didn't he? So many people sign up every day, but nobody signs up for him.

I felt cold and shivering.

"How many people?" Jin asked directly, revealing the real purpose.

Kakuzu turned his head away.

Jin sighed, "Let's fill the positions as soon as possible; we'll need more manpower for the next phase of our plan."

Walking to the window, you can see Hanzo leading people in martial arts practice on the playground.

Hanzo was seen single-handedly overpowering hundreds of people.

After all, they only extract chakra through basic internal energy cultivation and haven't been training since childhood. Their foundation isn't particularly solid, so they need to put in more effort.

Kakuzu suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"Do you really want to make an enemy of the entire ninja world?"

In Jin's view, it was only a matter of time before he fought against the entire ninja world. He would become a daimyo as a ninja, abolish the ninja system, and even sell ninjutsu in the future.

Any one of these points is enough to make other ninja villages hostile towards him.

Add them all together.

This is a blatant declaration of war.

Jin shook his head.

"It's not that I want to be their enemy."

"They are the ones who want to be my enemies."

He only wanted to elevate the ninjutsu of this world to a higher level, but this was something the ninja world would not allow.

Becoming enemies is inevitable.

If they just watch and do nothing.

That way, peaceful development is also possible.

But is that even possible?

I shook my head to clear my mind; thinking about this was a bit too far off.

He's completely on track here, but I don't know how things are going with his main body. By now, he should have already arrived in the village.

"I'm finally back."

Jin stretched as he walked out of the Hokage Building.

This mission has been taking a really long time.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Hiruko said to Gin that he still had experiments to conduct. Stimulated by Gin's strength, he wanted to rush back to prepare for the Oni-Garra experiment.

"Indeed, nothing's wrong." Jin turned to look at Hiruko: "But as for your experiment, it's best not to do it yourself. I have a hidden laboratory there."

Jin's words made Hiruko frown. He didn't want anyone to discover his research; he wanted to quietly become stronger and then amaze everyone.

However, I noticed that Jin glanced upwards.

Hiruko's face darkened.

indeed.

His research was too easily discovered by the Third Hokage.

He angrily walked past Jin and headed forward, turning back to look at Jin who was standing there motionless.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up."

This impolite tone made Hinata Kiyoshi frown; as expected, he looked down on this man.

Jin shrugged and walked home.

Back home, King Kong wanted to show him how to get into the underground laboratory.

A knock sounded on the door.

"Looks like you'll have to wait a bit." Jin shrugged.
