Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 423 The Changes Konoha Is About to Make

"Orochimaru-sensei."

After the meeting ended.

Kim deliberately kept Orochimaru behind.

The main reason is that the upcoming arrangements are closely related to Orochimaru.

"What are your instructions, Mr. Jin?"

Orochimaru had a smile on his face.

"I just want to discuss the matter of selling ninjutsu with Orochimaru-sensei."

Today, the ninjutsu techniques of the Land of Rain have actually surpassed those of other major ninja villages, but at the same time, they have also encountered certain bottlenecks.

If you want to break through the bottleneck, you can only spend time grinding it out.

But other villages may also come up with ingenious ideas to solve the problem.

Orochimaru looked at Jin with a hint of surprise.

"Kim is really generous."

They actually wanted to sell ninjutsu. Ninjutsu is usually priceless and rarely sold. It was Jin who set a precedent.

"After all, I want to see the ninja world progress."

A smile bloomed on Jin's face. As knowledge in the ninja world progressed, he naturally gained more and more, but ultimately, one's knowledge was still limited.

As long as everyone's knowledge continues to accumulate, he will become stronger and stronger.

Knowledge is power to him.

The development of the ninja world is also the brick and tile that allows Gin to continuously climb upwards.

"If that's the case."

Orochimaru had no objection to selling ninjutsu.

Orochimaru stroked his chin: "I suggest selling items that are a version behind."

Given Jin's style of doing things, the Land of Rain is now the target of everyone's attacks, just waiting for a new Six Paths Realm to emerge.

This would completely ignite the war to besiege the Land of Rain.

If the other side gets something too advanced, it wouldn't be good if they turned around and attacked them.

"Moreover, although these versions of ninjutsu are a level apart, they may still be able to forge new paths."

This is one perspective; research requires a variety of ideas.

Orochimaru also looked forward to the continuous improvement of the entire ninja world.

Just like how the current ninja world is far superior to the ninja world of the past.

"Then it's settled."

Jin nodded.

Selling related research technologies was an idea he had always had; it's just that it's now being put into practice.

Orochimaru suddenly asked curiously, "Do you have ninjutsu and techniques from other ninja villages?"

"Of course there are."

Jin looked at Orochimaru with a strange expression. Even when Orochimaru was still selling things under a disguise, Jin had doubts.

Now that my identity has been exposed, I naturally have no more worries.

He intends to sell all the ninjutsu techniques in the entire ninja world at a fixed price.

Leaf.

"The daimyo must have met with some misfortune."

Nara Shikaku squatted on the ground, rubbing the last footprints with his hands.

Upon returning to the village, Minato Namikaze took a deep breath to suppress the restlessness within him.

The two ninjas beside him looked guilty; their duty was to protect the daimyo.

But in the end, the daimyo still died.

Thinking of the darkness the two mentioned, Minato Namikaze didn't even need to guess that the only one who could use Dark Release right now was Kin Uchiha.

"Watergate".

Kushina tugged at Minato Namikaze's sleeve.

"I'm fine."

Minato Namikaze shook his head.

Nara Shikaku then looked up and said, "Hokage-sama, all the daimyo of the four great nations are now dead or missing, and the noble class in the capitals is basically wiped out."

"The Land of Rain has dispatched Kakuzu with the intention of launching an attack."

At that moment, a figure appeared next to Minato Namikaze.

Fugaku Uchiha said in a deep voice, "The Land of Rain has begun to sell ninjutsu on a large scale. The contents of the Konoha Sealing Scroll are all on the list of those being sold, and the secret ninjutsu of other ninja villages are also being sold at the same time."

Minato rubbed his forehead; Kim's series of actions were giving him a splitting headache.

These are all serious matters.

The books Jin left behind became clearer and clearer in my mind.

Uchiha Kin was pressuring him to do things according to the written instructions.

"You've calculated everything perfectly."

Minato Namikaze gritted his teeth.

But they really don't have many good options right now.

If things are allowed to continue unchecked, Konoha will only end up bankrupt and dissolved.

The maintenance of the entire Hidden Leaf Village is funded by the Daimyo's appropriations and the tasks of the nobles, with only a small portion coming from the taxes of the locals.

However, ninja missions are expensive, and if you want to continue supporting ninjas, it's only a matter of time before you run out of money.

If a new way out is not found.

The Leaf Village will only be destroyed in silence.

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath.

It's time to make a decision.

"Notify everyone to attend a meeting."

"yes!"

In the meeting room of Konoha.

Minato Namikaze sat upright in the Hokage's seat, his gaze fixed on the person standing in front of him.

The heads of the various ninja clans stood at the very front.

Behind them are all the Jonin of Konoha Village.

Looking at the even smaller number of people than before, he still sighed silently.

He said in a deep voice to the crowd, "You should all know that the daimyo and nobles of the four countries are now dead."

Everyone nodded heavily; this kind of thing simply couldn't be kept secret.

"Without the support of nobles and daimyo, Konoha cannot survive for much longer."

Although the ninjas of Konoha didn't care about money, and even Minato Namikaze had never cared about it before, he only understood the importance of money after becoming Hokage.

The village needs money to develop, ninjas need money to complete missions, and there are also expenses for ninja tools, training, and construction.

Previously, the money given by the daimyo and nobles was enough for Konoha's development, but now its most important source of income has been completely cut off.

"Lord Hokage, we are willing to contribute funds to help Konoha."

Someone in the crowd shouted out.

"Yes! We are willing to contribute money to help Konoha."

The crowd quickly followed suit and shouted.

Their love for Konoha was no less than anyone else's.

Minato Namikaze was very moved, but he couldn't do such a thing. He reached out and pressed down, and the entire conference room fell silent.

I appreciate everyone's kindness.

"But this method can only be used temporarily."

Although ninjas have considerable savings, their savings actually contribute to the development of Konoha.

Whether they give it or not doesn't really make any difference.

Minato Namikaze would never say such a thing.

"Everyone, Konoha needs to change if it wants to develop."

Minato Namikaze didn't want to follow King's script completely, nor did he want to hide the truth.

If Konoha wants to develop, it must now compete for control of other cities.

When a small-scale economic cycle is formed, Konoha can naturally continue to develop.

Minato Namikaze revealed his thoughts and intentions.

Everyone present fell silent.

Finally, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but ask, "Then what's the difference between a Hokage and a Daimyo?"

This is entirely about vying for the right to a title.

"But the great name is gone."

The newly appointed chief of the Yu Nu clan, Yu Nu Zhiwei, spoke in a deep voice.

This caused everyone present to gasp in surprise.

This signifies the intention to merge the Hokage's authority with the Daimyo's authority.

This is a major change.
