Konoha Silver Lightning

Chapter 116
"But it's only autumn now, and it won't take so much money to build the palace." Hiruzaru Sarutobi raised his pipe, exhaled smoke, and said helplessly.

There is a 12.00% decrease for no reason, which is equivalent to billions of funds on the books. This is a great pressure for the entire Konoha, especially now that the situation is turbulent, and it is necessary to train a large number of ninjas to defend the country and meet the possible first Three ninja wars.

Zhuanzhu Xiaochun said lightly: "The daimyo wants to change the decoration to silver."

'These damned royal nobles. '

Several people in the conference room had this thought in their minds at the same time.

Danzo Shimura had a look of anger on his face. Ninja Village is a country's military force. If Ninja Village is defeated, the country will also cede land and pay compensation, and what's more, the country will even perish.

boom!
As soon as he slapped the table, he stood up and said angrily: "Does he know what the current situation is like? The proposal we submitted to increase fiscal expenditures to prepare for war!"

"Danzo, pay attention to your words. Also, the proposal was rejected. It is said that His Excellency Daimyo didn't even read it."

For a moment, the entire meeting room was silent, they didn't know what to say, and Shimura Danzo sat down again with an angry expression on his face.

Daimyo has no right to interfere with the basically independent military force of Ninja Village. Without any military power in their hands, they will naturally not understand the seriousness of the current situation in the ninja world. All kinds of arrogance and lust, let alone the country of fire, the names of the five major countries basically all have the same virtue.

After a while, Hiruzaru Sarutobi said, "Let's go to the next one."

Mitomonyan tapped on the table, pondering: "The number of entrusted missions has increased.. But we really don't have enough manpower. Too many ninjas have been sent to the border. Only the few ninjas in the village can cope with this number of tasks. Far from enough."

Turning to bed Xiaochun shook his head. There was no other way, so he proposed: "How about mobilizing some of the stationed ninjas to carry out entrusted tasks? Otherwise, a large number of tasks will accumulate, which will inevitably lead to the loss of the client. The blow to Konoha's reputation is also great, and it is not good financially."

The stationed ninjas mentioned by Zhuanzhu Xiaochun refer to the ninjas who are graduates of the ninja school and are sent to the front line after graduation, not those garrisoned ninjas who are graduates of the Chunin.

Due to the difference in nature between the two, ninja school graduates are trained as a real ninja. Their abilities are more comprehensive and they have a higher success rate in performing assigned tasks.

Although Zhongnin graduates can also accept assigned tasks, the assigned tasks are issued by the village, and you can't pick them up at will. Simply put, the abilities of Zhongnin graduates are not comprehensive enough. Not much use.

"veto"

"veto"

"veto"

Hiruza Sarutobi voted against it one after another. Reducing the number of stationed ninjas means reducing the strength of the border, which undoubtedly greatly increases the risk factor for the safety of the entire Fire Nation.

If the number of stationed ninjas decreases, more and more ninjas from the enemy country will slip through the net. Once a large number of ninjas from the enemy country infiltrate and destroy the Land of Fire, it will be a headache for several people to clean them up.

Since there is no entrustment to get it, a lot of manpower and material resources have to be spent to search and investigate, which is simply asking for trouble for yourself.

On this point, the four of them were very clear, Zhuanzhu Xiaochun only made a suggestion, seeing that there was no discussion and directly rejected it, and they also understood that this matter could not be done, so they didn't say anything.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi ordered some teacups, said with a decision: "Okay, we can only do this for the time being in terms of finances, Xiaochun, and Menyan, you should communicate with the daimyo more, and continue to submit proposals to increase financial expenditures. The daimyo attaches great importance to this matter, and the next one is up to me."

The three of Danzo looked serious, they all knew what Hiruzaru Sarutobi was going to say.

Looking at the expressions of several people, Hiruzaru Sarutobi said slowly: "As for the battle of Niliu River, we will discuss the confrontation with the ninjas of the River Country."

"This is the largest war that has erupted in recent years. A total of more than [-] ninjas participated in the battle. This time, our loss is also the largest since the end of World War II."

The battle report this time came three days ago, and they have also made decisions on the corresponding matters, whether it is to send troops to increase personnel, or to replenish combat power and supplies, and this time they are going to discuss
Hiruza Sarutobi took a deep breath of the pipe, and said heavily: "I think that the loss this time is so heavy that it is enough for us to reflect on it. It is far from enough to increase the enrollment and construction of the Chunin School and open up the exchange of military achievements. Not enough."

Turning to bed Xiaochun nodded in agreement and said: "Indeed, in terms of the strength of the graduates of the Chunin school, they are not much better than the ninjas of other small countries. Although our ninjutsu resources are far richer than these small countries, these Chunin graduates Students, there are very few people who can get the battle merits in exchange for ninjutsu. In the final analysis, their strength is too weak, and the danger on the front line is too high."

That's right, this is the crux of the problem. Frontline missions basically start at B level. Even if you go out to deliver a letter, you may encounter ninjas from the enemy country. In such a dangerous place, it is good to be able to survive successfully. There is no such thing as Give you time to practice and grow.

This kind of thing also happened in ninja wars in the past, but it was not as serious as it is now. The ninjas in small countries are far from being so strong, or the ninjas in small countries do not have so many bases, but it is obviously different now. The country of the river has a full [-] ninjas who can participate in the war, and other big countries will only have more.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi waved his big hand and said, "This can't go on like this."

He is almost 48 this year, and there are strands of white hair on his head after being in power for many years. He looks even older than ordinary people. He has already passed the peak period of a ninja, and his transformation has begun to decline. Impossible Going into battle as before, the older he gets, the more cautious he becomes. Now, it's time to make some changes, because the times are different.

In today's era, the strong are no longer the decisive force, but the quantity can make up for the quality. How to cultivate more backbone forces has become the key now.

Looking at the companions around who are starting to turn 50 years old, they have known each other for a long time, and they are all getting old now, so Hiruzaru Sarutobi said:
"If it is the past years, it is okay. In recent years, the power of the Uchiha clan has become stronger and stronger, but we are gradually getting old. Maybe one day, we will no longer be able to continue to guard this village, but before that, we must cultivate A group of powerful ninjas, come to inherit our will!"

Shimura Danzo pondered, and said, "You mean, we need to increase the training of these war orphans?"
