Naruto's civilian cannon fodder starts with the three-body technique

Chapter 55: Remuneration Commission
"Including this A-level mission completion record, you have now completed a total of 1 S-level mission, 2 A-level missions, 44 B-level missions, 283 C-level missions, and 388 D-level missions."

Nara Shikasa picked up a small notebook of mission achievements and began to read. He then nodded and said with a smile, "This level of mission completion is enough to be awarded the title of Special Jonin. Coincidentally, you are good at mechanical manipulation, which is just right."

"Special jonin?"

Umino Sasuke couldn't help but be stunned, and thought quickly in his mind. If it were peacetime, and he had the opportunity to become a special jonin and enjoy privileged treatment, he would definitely agree with it wholeheartedly, but now, it would be a bit inappropriate.

Danzo Shimura replaced Enma Mito as the front-line commander, so there must be big moves. Given Danzo Shimura's personality, he will definitely not be as conservative as Enma Mito, so a war is inevitable.

For most Chunins, and even some special Jonins, the outer sentry patrol mission seems to be quite dangerous, and life and death depend on fate, but he has the super perception ability of the sonic radar, so it is extremely safe.

Umino Sasuke hurriedly asked, "Lord Shikasa, if I am rated as a Special Jonin, will I be transferred from Lord Toribou's sentry patrol?"

"That's natural."

Nara Shikasa immediately acted as if he valued the talent very much and that it should not be wasted.

"this--"

Umino Sasuke pretended to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something to hide.

"Don't you want to become a special jonin as soon as possible?"

Nara Shikasa was very surprised. The thing that countless civilian ninjas dreamed of was right in front of them, and there were actually people who could resist such temptation.

So, Nara Shikasa continued to test him, "With your completion of the task, as long as you nod, I can give you the title of Special Jonin today. Hehe, I still have this little energy."

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Shikasa. I will not leave the frontline sentry patrol without Lord Toribo's approval."

Sasuke Umino moved out of Akimichi Toribo directly, fearing that he would be transferred from the sentry patrol team. He was doing his patrol duty well, so only someone would be willing to die.

"You really don't want to consider it?"

"No, I won't leave without Master Qufang's consent."

Umino Sasuke said this in a decisive tone, pretending to be loyal to Akimichi Torifō.

"Since you insist so much, forget it."

Nara Shikasa had a look of regret on his face, but there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes. He was obviously very satisfied with the test just now.

The Ino, Deer and Butterfly tribes are allies and as close as a family. How could he steal people from Akimichi Torifon? He was just helping Akimichi Torifon to test the subordinates he had won over. Now it seems that it is really good. Akimichi Torifon, this guy who only cares about eating and doesn't use his brain, has really picked up a treasure this time.

"Hmm?" Umino Sasuke's perception was so sharp that after a little thought, he immediately understood Nara Shikasa's true intention.

So, Umino Sasuke said with deep emotion: "If it weren't for the timely support of Lord Toribo, I would have been killed along with the Sand Ninja with all the detonating tags on my body, and there would be no chance to be promoted to the rank of Special Jonin today. As long as I can work under Lord Toribo in the future, even if I can't be promoted to Special Jonin, I will accept it."

"Sasuke, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Nara Shikasa patted Umino Sasuke's shoulder comfortingly, and then promised, "You will continue to serve under Akimichi Torifō for a while. When he is transferred back to the ninja army base as a battalion commander, I will definitely transfer you back as a squadron commander and apply for the special jonin title for you."

At this time, Nara Shikasa also realized that the person in front of him was a man who could cover his body with explosive tags and die together with the Sand Ninja. He was a man from Akagi with an extremely strong will of fire, so he stopped testing him.

"Sasuke, mechanical tools are very expensive, right?"

"Yes, Lord Shikasa, I'm almost bankrupt." Umino Sasuke immediately complained bitterly and calculated the financial accounts.

"Alright, alright. This time, the patrol mission will be assessed as a C-level mission as usual. These two A-level missions will be assessed at a higher level of difficulty. As for the thank-you fee, that's waived. Also, there's no need to thank the mission dispatch team. You just need to pay the 10% mission income tax, and the rest is yours."

Nara Shikasa thought that Umino Sasuke's strength was all in the mechanical manipulation of tools, and he had been subsidizing Konoha to complete missions. He was really in urgent need of money, and he was also one of their own, so he waved his hand and waived a large amount of thank-you tax.

"Isn't it really possible to do this? Isn't this a bad idea?"

Umino Sasuke was still a little bit unbelievable. When did the logistics department open a charity? Had Shimura Danzo come and frightened him so much that his sickle could hardly cut? Or was it because the Ninja War was over and peace had returned?

The Ninja War period is different from the peacetime. In peacetime, when you complete a mission, you only need to pay 10% of the mission income tax on the reward issued by the village, and the remaining 90% can all be pocketed, and sometimes you can even get a share of the spoils.

But during the Ninja War, especially on the front lines, it was a completely different story.

It's not so difficult for the ninja clan members and those ninjas with backgrounds, but for those ordinary ninjas at the bottom without backgrounds, if they want to land safely and persist until the end of the Ninja War, they have to go through at least four levels of exploitation for each mission they complete.

The first level is being exploited by the task assessment team of the logistics department, who generally deduct about 30% as a thank-you fee.

This thank-you fee must be paid. For example, for the same C-level task, the remuneration will range from 15,000 to 50,000, depending on the difficulty of the assessment. If the thank-you fee is not paid, these masters in the task assessment class of the logistics department will stamp the task and immediately change it from a high-level difficulty task to a low-level difficulty task, and they can only get the lowest remuneration and merit.

By taking a 30% thank-you fee, at least you can get a relatively fair task assessment.

Of course, if you are not short of money, you can give more commission as a thank-you fee and raise the task evaluation, which is equivalent to spending money to buy a title step by step.

The second level is exploited by the task scheduling team of the logistics department, which generally takes between 10% and 50%, and the proportion of the extraction will be adjusted accordingly according to the intensity of the battlefield.

This thank-you fee must be paid. The task scheduling team is in charge of the distribution of battlefield tasks, and basically controls the life and death of the ninjas. It is up to you to decide whether to take on the task of attacking and dying or guarding the gate.

The third level is exploitation by the direct superior, who generally takes 20%, and the ratio will be flexible and changeable according to the superior's will of fire and personal integrity.

This thank-you fee for guidance can be paid or not. On the battlefield, it is very common to follow orders from superiors, such as stepping on mines, dismantling traps, and making bait. You don't have to think too much about who to choose.

The fourth level is being exploited by the Konoha Village. All the ninjas in the village are unified and have 10% income tax levied on them.

This commission is the most fixed and completely unavoidable, and the ninja clan is no exception. It is the real source of financial income for the village.

One tenth of the tax rate is really not high.

With this calculation, after four levels of exploitation, for ordinary ninjas at the bottom, after a wartime mission, at most they can only get 30% of the total income, which is three times the amount in peacetime.

At the lowest point, the income even had to be reduced by 10%, which was really outrageous. But if you don't want to be sent on a suicide mission, you can only bear it silently.

This is the unspoken rule that only senior ninjas know. Those ordinary ninjas with no background, who don’t know or simply don’t follow this unspoken rule, will have grass over their graves that is ten feet high.

It is impossible to say that the Konoha high-level officials were unaware of this current situation. In fact, this was initially discovered passively when they were trying to crack down on corruption, and later it was actively designed as a good strategy for village governance from the top level.

The high commission fees of the Logistics Department do not all go into the personal pockets of the logistics department staff. Most of it will flow back to the Logistics Department to solve the wartime financial shortage problem of Konoha Village.

The ones being fleeced are the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the ordinary ninjas at the bottom of Konoha, but the main beneficiary is Konoha Village.
