Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 113 The Problem of Staff Shortage

Tsunade continued talking about the various policies she implemented within the city.

It was both a chat and a report to Ning Yuan.

"I established a police station in the city to manage the city's security. I used ninjas from Konoha to manage it. I also promulgated the 'Public Security Law' and the 'Civil Law' in the city. These are all regulations you provided."

Ning Yuan nodded. Although legislation should take local conditions into account, Tsunade has only been here for a month, so there's no need to rush.

"In addition, I also set up factories: an audio disc factory, a paper mill, and a printing factory."

"So fast?" Ning Yuan was somewhat surprised. "It's only been a month!"

"The paper mill and printing plant were already in the city. I just inherited them and improved the processes. As for the audio disc factory, it was indeed built from scratch. However, other cities produce similar products, so we just need to adjust the production line," Tsunade said.

The technological level in the Naruto world is quite high. Many things are not impossible to create, but rather the locals simply haven't thought of them.

For example, with cars, I don't know why the engines have already been installed on ships, but no one has thought of installing them on cars, so that even though there are engines, there are no cars.

"We need to mass-produce audio equipment and CDs, and distribute them nationwide and even worldwide. This is crucial to the Ning Organization's grand undertaking!" Ning Yuan said. "We also need to expand our printing and paper industries, relying on audio-visual stores and bookstores, striving to achieve one audio-visual store and one bookstore in every city within three years!"

Many people's revolutionary careers started from the base area, and then they fought their way through city by city. When they expanded to the whole country, their great cause was almost accomplished.

However, the circumstances in the Naruto world are different, so the methods used are different.

The biggest difference between the Land of Fire and China in the previous life is that the various city-states of the Land of Fire do not have armed forces; at most, they are just some insignificant wandering ninjas.

The entire armed force of the Land of Fire is Konoha Village.

In other words, once Konoha is captured, the Land of Fire will be essentially defenseless.

Taking over Konoha is even simpler. You don't need to worry about anything else. Just wait a few years for the Third Shinobi World War to break out, and then Minato will take over. The matter will be settled naturally.

If taking Konoha isn't difficult, then taking the entire Land of Fire shouldn't be difficult either.

The challenge lies in how to smoothly transition after conquering the Land of Fire, and how to quickly reform and integrate its outdated city-state system into a modern nation.

With external enemies on the side and Black Zetsu constantly causing trouble, this process cannot be too slow, otherwise it will easily give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.

This requires not just one or two people, or even ten or twenty thousand people; it requires millions of officials at all levels who understand the local situation.

After much thought, Ning Yuan realized that audio-visual stores and bookstores were a good solution.

Because audio-visual stores and bookstores are easy to chain nationwide, these kinds of stores won't attract attention no matter where you open them.

In addition, the people attracted to audio-visual stores and bookstores are generally intellectuals; at least those who go to bookstores to read are not illiterate.

The Ning organization can then select progressive individuals from among these people to join the Ning organization.

Once Konoha is captured, these people can naturally rise to power and become the administrators of various cities.

As for the peasant class.

Ning Yuan had considered mobilizing the farmers, but after learning about the situation of the farmers in the Land of Fire, he gave up the idea.

Since the Land of Fire has no armed forces, all that's needed is to kill off the ruling class.

If arranged properly, it can be passed peacefully.

There is absolutely no need for peasant armies to change the world.

Moreover, the local farmers have been ruled for thousands of years and have been docile for thousands of years. They have become accustomed to being ruled and have no concept of "why should kings and nobles be born with special privileges?"

They were illiterate, knew nothing of resistance, and had no power.

In an extraordinary world context, these people are not really of much use before education becomes widespread.

"Judging from this, Mingchuan Town's development seems to be going very smoothly!" Ning Yuan asked, "Are there any difficulties?"

At this point, Tsunade's anger, which had just been suppressed, surged up again.

"People, people, I'm short-staffed!" Tsunade banged on the table. "Factories need people, law enforcement needs people, maintaining order needs people, and even organ transplant surgery requires not only people, but also matching organs! I have so many things to do every day, I can't just stay on the operating table all the time!"

"Ah, this..." Minato lowered his head in shame. He had thought the organization hadn't kept its promise, but it turned out they were short-handed.

Ning Yuan was also somewhat embarrassed and asked, "Hasn't Orochimaru been sending people in all along?"

"He only sent less than 1,500, what good is that!" Tsunade said irritably.

She also stayed in Konoha Village, where the entire management team probably numbered less than thirty people.

However, Ningyuan brought a new management model, namely, dedicated personnel for specific tasks and responsibilities.

This approach does increase efficiency, but it also requires more people.

A department, from top to bottom, needs anywhere from a dozen to over a hundred people.

The 1,500 people Orochimaru sent were mostly ninjas, with the rest being either ordinary women or children.

These people are good at maintaining order, but they're really no good at managing things!

"It's too late to train them now, and we can't recruit people from outside either," Tsunade said.

The Land of Fire simply doesn't have a proper talent development system. You want to recruit people from schools? There aren't any schools at all!

Each chamber of commerce cultivates its own talent, and through various forms of brainwashing and moral education, betrayal becomes a shameful word. Even if you manage to poach someone with money, you wouldn't dare to give them important positions.

"How many cities does the Land of Fire have?" Ning Yuan asked.

"At least three thousand!" Tsunade thought for a moment and replied.

"Three thousand." Ning Yuan calculated that even if each branch had ten people, three thousand cities would still require thirty thousand people.

Moreover, many cities are very large, and one store may not be enough; three, five, or even ten stores may be needed.

Furthermore, the Ning organization cannot rely solely on record stores and bookstores to conquer the world; in the future, there will also be theaters, cinemas, and newspapers.

Even a conservative estimate would be at least 100,000 people.

"Let's go into education!" Ning Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's start with one, hmm, a dance school!"

Just as he can use dance to disguise his martial arts skills, so can others.

You open a dance school, ostensibly teaching dance, but in reality, you're teaching martial arts.

Incidentally, it also includes learning various subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, and physics, as well as strategies for governing the country.

The students trained in this kind of school, the outstanding ones go on to govern the country, they are promising talents; the average ones are sent into society, they are also good candidates.

"Running a school is fine, but will the school teach chakra extraction?" Tsunade asked.

There are only about twenty teachers at the Ninja Academy. Even if Tsunade is short of people, she still has plenty of teachers to teach chakra.

The only question is whether or not to teach.

Chakra is something that is very difficult to conceal; it can be detected with just a Byakugan or a chakra sensing technique.

What would Konoha's reaction be if they discovered that a school in a city was teaching chakra extraction techniques?

Ning Yuan thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Let's not teach him!"

Despite studying the art of concealing one's chakra for so long, Ning Yuan still couldn't develop a technique that could completely hide one's chakra, and even if he did, his students might not be able to learn it.

Anyway, the Ning organization doesn't lack combat skills for the time being, so we won't teach them.

"Even if we focus on education, there's still a huge talent gap!" Tsunade continued.

A town of 4 people can only provide a maximum of 200 new students each year. If 20 of them succeed, then the town is considered to be blessed with outstanding people and resources.

What good are 20 people?

This isn't scientific research, where one genius is worth ten thousand.

"Let me think about the talent shortage problem..." Ning Yuan did indeed have a solution in mind.

The methods of the Ninja Sect.

A technique that allows the transfer of memories through chakra, capable of cultivating a large number of highly educated individuals in a short period of time.

This method is found with Kurama (the Nine-Tails), and Kurama's jinchūriki has already joined Ning's organization.

However, relying solely on the Ninja Sect's methods won't suffice, because the Ning organization doesn't have that many people at the moment. If you just randomly grab people from the streets, how can you guarantee their loyalty?

How can we be sure he won't use the knowledge in his head to do evil?

Ning Yuan thought of an idea he had considered before.

Transform a caged bird.

He originally wanted to transform the Caged Bird Seal into 3D glasses that could project three-dimensional images, but now it seems that the 3D glasses can be put on hold for now.

Controlling people's thoughts and increasing their loyalty seems to be more important.

This technique is not impossible; Madara controlled the Fourth Mizukage for decades using his Sharingan.

Although Ning Yuan doesn't have the Kaleidoscope, the people he needs to control are not just the Shadow of One Village!

Controlling ordinary people is much easier, right?
