There are some calls within the Land of Thunder now.

It has nothing to do with war. They don't dare to fight Konoha again in the short term.

These calls are about Iwagakure.

Some people in the Land of Lightning want to ask the Land of Earth to send a large number of earth-style ninjas from Iwagakure to use the power of combined ninjutsu to repair the border that was cut off by Konoha.

There is no need to repair the entire territory, but it must at least be repaired to a level where ordinary merchants from the Kingdom of Thunder can trade.

But the Land of Earth showed no intention of responding to such calls.

The Water Kingdom is isolated overseas, and the Wind Kingdom is nothing.

There are five major countries in the ninja world, but in Iwagakure's view, there are three upper countries and two lower countries.

If the Land of Lightning is affected and gradually declines, it may not be a bad thing for the Tsuchikage and the Daimyo of the Land of Earth.

In this case, the only nations that will have a chance to dominate the ninja world in the future are the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire.

Why would they help the Kingdom of Thunder?

You know, the Tsuchikage Ohnoki even planned a strategic plan to encircle and kill the Third Raikage. Between the two countries, let alone cooperation, it would be good enough if they didn't add insult to injury.

Although ninjas are professionals who take money from people and help them get rid of disasters, ninjas also have national boundaries.

It would be fine for some normal small tasks, but for such a major event involving national strategy, the Iwagakure Village would never go against the national strategy of the Land of Earth.

It was at this time when everyone in the Land of Thunder was confused about the future and didn't know where to go when Luo Cheng set foot on the land of the Land of Thunder.

Of course, he wasn't using his original appearance.

Now the bounty on Luo Cheng’s head on the black market is almost at the top of the list!

Once he shows up alone in the Land of Lightning, one can imagine what will happen next.

If he wants to do something, he naturally has to change his approach.

.

.

.

"Will it go smoothly?"

Although Orochimaru supported all of Luo Cheng's actions, he was actually not sure whether Luo Cheng's plan could really succeed.

After all, this is something that no one has ever done before.

"Whether it succeeds or not, it's better than doing nothing."

Luo Cheng shook the test tube, and with the keen perception brought by natural energy, he carefully explored the changes in the composition of the liquid in the test tube.

After ending the war with Kumogakure, they returned to Konoha Village as war heroes.

But it's a little different from last time.

The last time they returned, they were warmly welcomed by everyone.

And this time, although their results were far better than the one in the Rain Country.

They ended the war with the Land of Lightning with less time, fewer sacrifices, and a more comprehensive victory. However, they began to suffer some criticism and questioning within Konoha.

It's not the common plot of jealousy or overshadowing one's master.

It was simply because Orochimaru, as the supreme commander on the front line, used his power of "a general is not bound by the king's orders when away from the court" to make a decision that went against the core interests of the Fire Nation!

Although Konoha won this battle, the invisible losses suffered by the Fire Nation were much greater than if it had lost!

After the land route was cut off, the Fire Nation had no way to use its cheap food to commercially harvest the Thunder Nation. The Fire Nation wanted to win the war, but not in this way of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of its own.

How many people died in the war was the ninja's own business. At most, the daimyo would pay some subsidies such as pensions on behalf of the Fire Nation. However, Orochimaru's move was tantamount to cutting into the interests of the daimyo, as well as the nobles and merchants of the Fire Nation.

Now the backlash has come.

Orochimaru's title as a war hero remained unchanged, nor did his past achievements and honors, but all the real power in his hands was taken away from him.

Of course, this does not mean that Sarutobi Hiruzen will give up his beloved disciple.

It's just that he thought Orochimaru was a little impulsive. Sarutobi Hiruzen's behavior was to give an explanation to the daimyo and to let Orochimaru avoid this turmoil. At the same time, it also made Orochimaru reflect on his "mistakes".

This 'reflection period' may be long until Sarutobi Hiruzen finds a suitable time to bring Orochimaru back.

But there is nothing inappropriate about this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is still in his prime, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to stay in the position of Hokage for a long time.

Under such circumstances, it is actually inappropriate to keep Orochimaru at the center of the controversy of being the 'only suitable successor to the Hokage' for so many years.

Now that it's been put on ice, it might be a good thing.

That's right, Sarutobi Hiruzen still hasn't given up the idea of ​​letting Orochimaru inherit his position as Hokage.

It’s not about anything else, the main reason is that Konoha really doesn’t have a suitable candidate right now.

To become a Hokage, at least three conditions must be met.

One is the recognition of the 'people', that is, the Konoha ninjas.

One is "strength", and shadow-level strength is the most basic.

One is the 'orthodox' one, which means the lineage of the Hokage.

There are a few people in Konoha who meet these three conditions, but none of them want to be Hokage.

He really has no one else to choose from.

...We can't choose Danzo Shimura who's almost an old man, right?

Orochimaru did not have any other reaction to Konoha's neglect. Everything was within his expectations.

Or maybe this is exactly what he wants to see.

There is no problem with my path to becoming Hokage.

But at the same time, you don't have to spend a lot of energy dealing with trivial matters.

More time to immerse in experiments and the search for truth.

This is just right.

This is also a good thing for Luo Cheng. At least he can practice in seclusion with Orochimaru, and stay at home. No one will find out that he is just a clone in Konoha!

It’s half past twelve… It’s so late. I’ve asked for leave from work. I’ll take the whole afternoon to reorganize my thoughts. Sigh_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 30: Originium Technique Transformed into Ninjutsu!

The sky is vast and the wilderness is endless, the wind blows the grass low and cattle and sheep can be seen.

There are many high mountains in the Land of Thunder, but there are also many grasslands.

The unique climatic conditions have allowed the livestock industry here to develop well... but that is all in the past.

The pastures were deserted, and the young laborers in the village were no longer toiling as usual. Instead, they gathered in the village tavern, drinking and playing cards.

The livestock raised in the Land of Lightning is in serious excess of domestic demand.

In the past, only a small portion of the cattle and sheep they raised were used for domestic consumption, and most of the rest were exported.

When the land route between the Kingdom of Thunder and the outside world was completely cut off, the country turned its attention to the more difficult and risky sea transportation.

...Although it cannot be said that we are completely unable to communicate with the outside world, some costs are much higher than before.

A large number of livestock are stranded in the area, impacting market prices.

The current domestic environment in the Land of Thunder is such that the more breeding there is, the more money one loses.

If this continues, I'm afraid the ninja world will repeat events like 'pouring milk' and 'Boston Tea Party'.

When Konoha had completed the preliminary preparations for the Wood Release grain transformation plan, Luo Cheng, who had come from afar to set foot on the land of Lightning, saw such a lifeless scene throughout the country.

Standing at the edge of the farm, Luo Cheng, who had changed his appearance, gently stroked the old yellow cow that was grazing on weeds.

In the past, when people saw strangers approaching their livestock, they would have driven them away or taken other actions.

But now there is absolutely no one in charge.

Unless Luo Cheng took the cows away from the farm, the guard lying in the shed not far away would run over with a hayfork.

Not only the farms, but even the densely populated towns in the Land of Thunder seem to lack vitality.

Just like Luo Cheng’s previous life, the high income of the treasure island that has not yet returned is supported by high-end industries such as TSMC.

Economically developed regions generally prosper when they have one or more pillar industries that can generate huge profits, as well as various downstream and service industries surrounding these industries.

If the animal husbandry industry collapses, the overall economic cycle of the Land of Thunder will be missing an important gear.

Many industries that are strongly related to it or provide services to it, such as transportation, catering, and pharmaceuticals, are sluggish.

Luo Cheng's arrival this time is to change this situation.

Of course, he didn't want to develop the shipbuilding industry here.

That would be putting the cart before the horse.

Wasn't all his time in the Second Ninja World War in vain?

It is not about directly developing agriculture.

Because under the circumstances in the Land of Thunder, directly developing agriculture can easily lead to the same problems as animal husbandry.

There is a serious overcapacity in domestic production, and the excess capacity cannot be exported, which will eventually lead to a further deterioration of the domestic economic situation.

In the past, a strong government could prevent low grain prices from hurting farmers and other bad situations from happening, but in a place like the Kingdom of Thunder with its poor administration, Luo Cheng felt that they could not withstand such an impact.

Luo Cheng is here to lead everyone forward, not to push people into a pit.

Luo Cheng is here, and the first thing he wants to do is to promote several new technologies.

Luo Cheng led the old yellow cow to the farm guard and asked him, "How much do you want to sell the cow for?"

The guard's sleepy eyes perked up a little: "These."

He spread out his five fingers, and his meaning was very clear.

The current situation on the farm is that the more they raise pigs, the more they lose money. If they don't raise pigs, no one will buy them. If they are not fed, they will starve to death, which will be an even bigger loss.

Every time one is sold, it is one less burden for the farm and some of the costs are recovered.

So he quoted a very low price, at which the farm would make almost no money.

"What if I..." Luo Cheng stretched out his hand and drew a circle towards the farm.

"If you want all of them, can you give me a better price?"

“…All of them?!” The guard was stunned for a moment, and it took him several seconds to react.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. Please wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon!" After saying this hurriedly, the guard hurriedly ran away.

The guard was a distant nephew of the farmer. He could make the decision on his own regarding the matter of a cow, but for a big client of this level, he had to call back his uncle who was playing cards in the tavern.

Not long after, a carriage came rushing towards this side with a cloud of dust.

Although the farmer tried his best to remain calm, the hurried pace of the carriage exposed his anxiety.

If Luo Cheng wanted to, he could use negotiation skills to lower the price to an extremely low level, or even force the farmer to sell all the cattle and sheep to him at a loss.

The current market situation is like this. The more you hold on, the more you lose. It is better to lose less than the greater. It is better to sell it for less money than to keep everything in your hands.

But Luo Cheng did not do so and still gave some concessions to the farmer.

Money is actually not important to Luo Cheng. Although Luo Cheng does not have much money, as long as he is willing, he has plenty of ways to get it.

But this is not the case for the other party.

After the transaction was completed, the farmer couldn't stop smiling.

The corners of his mouth are almost reaching his ears.

Although this amount of money cannot be compared with the normal profits obtained in previous years, it can only be said that there is no loss, but in the current situation, no loss is a profit!

Luo Cheng sat on the old ox, leisurely driving the cattle and sheep towards a big town in the distance.

Seeing that Luo Cheng alone could make hundreds of cattle and sheep behave themselves, the farmer saw it but said nothing and asked nothing.
