Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

If this continues, I'm afraid all the civilians will pick up hoes and rebel against the ninjas.

Hiruko dared not do that again. The last victory was like a beautiful bubble, seemingly gorgeous but actually fragile.

The false prosperity brought about by that large-scale production cut was like a building without a foundation, which could collapse at any time.

Of course, Hiruko was also well aware of why the loess soil reacted this way.

In the village, the conflict between the reformers and the conservatives intensified.

The reformers advocated for active change, introducing new ideas and technologies to promote the development of the village.

Conservatives, on the other hand, adhere to tradition, believing that the existing model is stable enough and does not require major changes.

This disagreement is like an invisible chasm, standing between the two factions and plunging the village's development into a delicate situation.

The smoke of the Fourth Shinobi World War had just cleared, and the chilling atmosphere that lingered over the shinobi world had not yet completely dissipated when Iwagakure was already in a state of utter devastation.

War is always cruel; it is like a ferocious beast, ruthlessly trampling on every place it is involved in.

In this fierce battle, Onoki, the leader of Iwagakure, a hero who once protected the village with his great strength and unwavering will, also suffered a severe injury in the war.

His once upright posture had become somewhat hunched, and his once bright and piercing eyes now showed signs of fatigue.

The village itself was riddled with holes, with dilapidated buildings, abandoned farmland, and a scene of utter desolation.

To make matters worse, the village was burdened with a huge debt, which was like an invisible mountain, making it hard for the entire Iwagakure village to breathe.

The men in the village, already unsettled by the fear of war, were now even more terrified upon witnessing this horrific scene.

They worry about the future of the village and their own fate every day.

Some people with weak wills began to have the idea of ​​escaping, wanting to leave this place that was about to collapse.

Iwagakure was like a wrecked ship tossed about in a storm, almost unable to hold on.

Just when Iwagakure was in dire straits, Hiruko accidentally received this news.

Seeing the once glorious Iwagakure village reduced to such a state, Konoha decided to lend a helping hand.

Hiruko used his connections and resources to bring much-needed supplies and funds to Iwagakure, and also helped them develop some plans to resume production.

With Hiruko's help, Iwagakure was able to catch its breath, like a drowning person finally grasping at a straw.

Turning our attention to the Land of Lightning, the situation there is almost identical to that of Iwagakure.

The Land of Lightning also suffered enormous losses in the war, and its national strength was far less than before.

The Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth have always had a fairly good relationship, and they have supported each other during wars.

However, in the business world, relationships are relationships, and interests are interests.

Both countries are burdened with heavy debts, with high interest rates, and urgently need to earn money to repay them.

Therefore, the two countries reached a temporary consensus and decided to put aside their differences and work together to earn money to repay the debt.

Once the village is in a better state, we can work together to study future development issues.

And so, the people of Iwagakure and the Land of Lightning began to live a life of working day and night to earn money.

They no longer enjoy the leisure and comfort of the past; every day they toil and struggle to survive and pay off their debts.

In the factory, machines roared day and night, and workers operated them wearily.

In the fields, farmers toiled diligently, sweating profusely.

Until one day, the millet war broke out.

This sudden commercial storm was like a timely rain, bringing massive profits to Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

A flood of funds poured into the two villages, instantly transforming them from impoverished to wealthy.

However, the distribution of this huge profit has become a thorny issue.

How should this profit be divided?

It's like a huge cake; everyone wants a bigger slice, so conflicts and disputes inevitably arise.

In Iwagakure, at least Onoki is there to keep things in order.

This experienced leader, relying on his prestige, was able to barely maintain the situation.

He convened a meeting of the village's leaders to discuss a profit-sharing plan.

Although everyone had their own version of events, thanks to Onoki's mediation, things didn't get too tense.

However, the situation in Kumogakure is not so optimistic.

The Raikage lost his arm in the battle, and his physical condition was not as good as before, so his intimidating power was also greatly reduced.

The village already had various contradictions and conflicts of interest, and now these contradictions have completely erupted over the issue of profit distribution.

There were constant arguments and even some small-scale conflicts between the various families.

The Hidden Cloud Village suffered heavy losses in this dispute over profit distribution, making the already fragile village even more precarious.

After experiencing this rollercoaster-like upheaval, ordinary villagers and ninjas of Iwagakure and Kumogakure suffered greatly.

They were already exhausted from the war, and now they are caught in endless quarrels and disputes over the distribution of profits.

They live in fear every day, not knowing what the future holds.

In this situation, they all yearn for more subsidies to improve their lives.

As a result, the two sides immediately started arguing.

Amid the arguments, more ordinary villagers chose to join the reformists.

After all, most of the reformers were young people, full of energy and passion, and hopeful for the future.

Seeing the various novel things that Konoha Village had come up with, such as advanced technology, prosperous commerce, and the greatest benefits that the Konoha ninjas gained from them, they became itchy-hearted and began to have their own ideas.

They longed for Iwagakure and Kumogakure to undergo a dramatic transformation like Konoha, so that their lives could improve.

Those clan ninjas, on the other hand, tended to be more conservative.

Over the years, a relatively stable distribution plan has been established within the village.

Of course, this plan did not leave any profit margin for the new ninjas; it was entirely exploiting their interests.

These clan ninjas were used to the existing distribution model, and they did not want to break the existing routine, fearing that change would bring them losses.

They felt that as long as they followed the old rules, they could ensure that their interests would not be harmed.

As for the older generation of Iwagakure, they naturally leaned more towards the conservatives.

It's not that they can't see the results of Konoha's reforms; deep down, they also hope that Iwagakure can become stronger.

After all, the stronger the village becomes, the more respectable these elderly people will be, and their status in the village will be more secure.

Unfortunately, Konoha's actions were simply too outrageous.

The Konoha advisory group and elders have become mere figureheads, spending their days doing nothing.

Tenten went fishing at the reservoir with the Third Hokage and Jiraiya, completely ignoring what was happening in the village.

The advisory group was thrown into prison and has been largely forgotten.

This terrified the old folks; they didn't want to be powerless in their old age.

After all, those who have held power cannot bear to lose it.

Fearing that Onoki's reforms would cause them to lose their current status and power, and out of a sense of shared sympathy, they ultimately sided with the conservatives.

As for why Beiruhu knew so much, he actually didn't have that many spies.

He was told this information by his uncles from Iwagakure.

Seeing that Hiruko had a certain influence and strength in the ninja world, they hoped to gain some support from him.

They felt that if Beiliuhu could stand on their side, they might be able to gain more benefits in the village.

However, Hiruko would certainly not agree to them.

Beiruhu has his own reform plans and goals, and he will not be easily swayed by these uncles.

As a result, the internal conflicts and disputes within Iwagakure Village gradually intensified without anyone noticing.

Hiruko stood firmly on the side of the reformers and fully supported them.

They were unaware of the sordid dealings between their uncles and elders and the Biljukhu.

However, the countries did not have much objection to their merger.

"I propose that we form a unified system internally based on allocation prices, so that there will be no conflicts between countries."

"This collaboration is expected to generate three times the profit. Although it's not an exceptionally large sum, it's still a significant deal," Hiruko said calmly.

Normally, such a big matter would definitely not be settled in less than a few months.

However, after the previous millet war, the tacit understanding between the five great ninja villages has increased significantly.

Moreover, the five great ninja villages are military groups, so they naturally place great importance on food security.

So, everyone sat down together, had some tea, and chatted, and that's basically how the matter was settled.

After receiving the notification, we will at most fill in some details.

The diplomats from several villages looked at Beiruhu, still somewhat hesitant in their hearts.

Because they couldn't believe that this guy, Birukho, really just wanted to honestly farm.

However, this is also good. They can't surpass Konoha in a short time, but Konoha is willing to make money with them now.

Since that's the case, then let's try not to fall too far behind. As for overtaking on a curve, that's extremely difficult.

Everyone had already decided in their hearts to work hard in private and not mention the matter again on the surface.

Then they continued talking about Birukhu's ability to make money.

Following Birukhu, tsk tsk.

Chapter 155 Carrying a Knife on a Rainy Night!

These implementers had no objection to the decision-making plan proposed by Biluhu.

The company's business is simply about hiring more employees.
