In Naruto, the more harems you have, the stronger you are.

Chapter 30 Financial Crisis

Although some of these ten people are senior jonin.

There are even old ninjas who experienced World War I and World War II and served for more than 40 years.

Ebizo couldn't believe that these people were actually undercover agents.

But out of trust in Li Fan and caution.

He nodded carefully:

"Next, I will send someone to secretly monitor these ten people."

Li Fan didn't say much, just finished the tea in the cup. He suddenly remembered something and asked:

"How are the preparations for war going?"

As the quasi-Fourth Kazekage who is expected to take over at any time, Li Fan is naturally qualified to ask these questions.

After Ebizo finished processing another document in his hand, he lowered his voice and said:

"We have gathered enough supplies to sustain 2,000 ninjas for 30 days. These supplies have been sent to the Fire Defense Line and the Lightning Defense Line."

"The village's usual stockpile of supplies has also increased threefold. If a war really breaks out, prices won't change much for at least a month."

"The amount of training for students in the Ninja School has also been tripled."

"I taught them the corresponding basic attack ninjutsu. Originally, they would take the initiative to find someone to learn these things in the future."

"The ninja students who were originally scheduled to be eliminated and unable to graduate have also been retained."

The teacher-student relationship in the Sand Village's ninja school is not as selfless as that in Konoha, and is basically just official business.

The Sand Village Ninja School system is far inferior to the relatively mature and complete education system of Konoha Village.

Given the poverty of the Sand Village, they can only learn by example.

It is called a ninja school, but in fact it can only be called a high-end version of a Boy Scout training camp.

The Sand Village Ninja School only teaches basic literacy and writing.

As well as explaining the principles of chakra, teaching how to refine it, and then teaching basic substitution techniques and ninja tool projection techniques.

If you are lucky enough to be selected as a Genin after graduation, the rest will depend on your own efforts.

However, because of this, the mortality rate of Genin in the Sand Village is particularly high.

But those who can make it to the end are relatively the elite among them, and can be said to be an alternative form of Gu breeding.

Hearing this, Li Fan's brows slowly frowned.

The Sand Village had made some preparations in advance, but they only prepared this little.

Enough war supplies to sustain two thousand ninjas for thirty days, which sounds like a lot.

But if a war really breaks out.

At that time, thousands of ninjas from the Sand Village will have to go to the front line and fight.

Calculated based on how many years the war lasted in the ninja world.

This little bit of stuff is simply not enough for consumption.

As for the Fourth Ninja World War that took place more than ten years later, it ended after only three days.

That is a special case among special cases and cannot be used as reference information at all.

As for the supplies stored in the Sand Village.

The price changes can only last for one month, which can only be said to be better than nothing.

Although Li Fan felt strange in his heart.

But he also knew that Chiyo and his brother could not be unaware of the cruelty of war.

It's impossible to prepare only this little bit.

Given their personalities and status, it is even more impossible for them to do anything small about such things.

So he tried:

"Logically speaking, we should have been more fully prepared in two days."

Ebizo obviously noticed Li Fan's unhappiness. He was silent for a moment and said:

"Li Fan, we also know that such a small amount of preparation is of little use, but the problem is that our village has no money left!"

After saying this, the Third Kazekage played by Ebizō collapsed weakly in the chair.

It was hard to tell whether his tone was sad or calm:

"Given the current financial situation of the Sand Village, it's already great to be able to purchase these supplies in one go."

"There are only 5 million silver taels left in the village now. Although it seems like a lot, you have to know that there are still tens of thousands of ninjas in the village who need to pay for their missions."

"Even if we give priority to paying the mission rewards for the jonin, the remaining mission rewards for the chuunin and genin cannot be delayed for too long."

“So if we continue to buy supplies, it will seriously affect the operation of the village.”

At this point, Ebizo's tone became helpless and resigned:

"You know the Daimyo's attitude towards our village. He has been cutting funding for our Sand Village over the years."

"The number of missions our village can receive is decreasing year by year. Many clients would rather choose the neighboring Konoha or the more distant Kumogakure."

The Sand Village only needs to be an obedient tool and work hard, but the daimyo has a lot of things to consider.

Li Fan didn’t know what the saddest thing in the world was.

But he knew that the saddest thing at the moment was knowing that war was about to happen.

But there was not enough money to prepare war supplies in advance.

Although Li Fan had long known that the Sand Village was very poor.

Now that I have experienced it in practice, I can truly understand the hardships involved.

Li Fan hesitated and said:

"I will go panning for gold later, which should help alleviate the current difficulties."

Then, Li Fan said:

"As for the Daimyo's situation, I will personally go to the capital of the Kingdom of Wind in a few days."

When Ebizo heard Li Fan's words, his face lit up with joy.

But before he could open his mouth, he heard Li Fan's next words and his face changed immediately.

Ebizo took a deep breath and asked tentatively:

"Li Fan, what method do you plan to use to convince Daimyo?"

Li Fan had already seen the doubt and fear in the old man's heart. He waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry, he's a famous person. I won't use any extreme methods. I'll just have a good talk with him."

Without waiting for Ebizo to say anything, Li Fan stood up and walked out the door.

Ebizo frowned slightly and looked at Li Fan's leaving back, but finally he slowly shook his head.

He still believed that Li Fan, a well-behaved child since childhood, would not do anything shocking.

However, he guessed wrong.

If it were Narasha, he would certainly not do such a thing.

But Li Fan, who has come here and replaced everything of Luo Sha, doesn't care about these things.

Li Fan was walking on the road out of the village.

While returning the greetings to the ninja civilians who greeted him, he was thinking about what to do.

The natives who were born and raised in the ninja world.

Naturally, one would be in awe of the so-called daimyo and nobles.

Even if the daimyo clearly wanted them to die a slow death along with the village.

They would just endure it and never protest.

It's not just the Sand Village that's like this.

The other four major ninja villages, including Konoha, are of the same nature.

A ninja who respects strength.

He would actually bow down to a subordinate who did not possess any top-notch powerful strength, but only had a so-called bloodline.

Although Li Fan didn't understand, he knew what the situation was.

But now I meet an outsider like me, haha.

Directly killing or threatening the daimyo is an irrational approach.

But Li Fan doesn't need to rely on the system, he can only rely on his own strength.

It is also entirely possible to let the important guards around the daimyo die one by one in "accidental" deaths.

Then give a little hint to the name of an ordinary person.

Or if it's not too troublesome.

You can first give a little hint to one of the daimyo's unappreciated sons.

Then create some surprises for the daimyo's other sons.

Let them die in accidents, leaving only the neglected son.

Let the daimyo create an accident so that he becomes paralyzed or loses the ability to handle things.

After that, it was a natural thing.

Li Fan has a lot of methods like this.

People in the ninja world value reputation and bloodline too much, so they have never thought of resisting.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire created the so-called Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

Konoha didn't react at all, just obeyed obediently.

Even the Third Hokage's son, Asuma Sarutobi, joined the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

For decades, Asma was torn between the two "Jades", which consumed his spirit.

He kept wavering between the Leaf Village, which gave birth to and raised him, and the Daimyo, the nominal ruler.

Even the Hokage's son is like this, let alone other ordinary ninjas.

But for Li Fan, he doesn’t care whether the daimyo bloodline is noble or not, or whether it remains unchanged for hundreds of generations.

It just hinders myself anyway.

Then just change to a more obedient name.

Thinking about these things, Li Fan quickly walked out of the Sand Village.

He ran to a desert dozens of miles away from the Sand Village and began to refine the gold sand in the desert.

It was not until noon that Li Fan walked back to the village.

And threw more than a dozen bags of densely packed gold sand in front of Ebizo.

Ebizo opened his eyes slightly and looked at the dozen or so bulging cloth bags.

Before he could speak, he found that Li Fan had disappeared.

Only one sentence is left:

"I have something urgent to do. I have to leave first."

Seeing this, Ebizo could only look at Chiyo who was sitting next to him and smile bitterly.

Chiyo, who had just arrived at the office, put down the teacup in her hand.

She sighed with a complicated tone:
