Chapter 497 Jiraiya and Mizukage's Chat

【Security Department】

"Master Jiraiya, have all five of them rested?"

"Ah, Mizukage-sama, I didn't expect you and I to be the most leisurely people in this war!" Jiraiya held a wine glass in his hand, watching the early moon with Mizukage, very happy.

"You haven't answered yet!"

"Don't worry, the five of them should be safe now. Besides, Shumao told me, as long as you pay attention to it, the other party will not come to your door at this time."

"why?"

"Because only when they have come to a dead end, will they think of using the five of them to threaten us, but they have forgotten that the true identities of the five of them are just bait in this war.

Although the five great countries are very close to the five great villages, and it even seems that the five great villages are attached to the five great countries, but the five great villages have long been beyond the control of the five great countries, and now the development of the five great villages is still above the five great countries, so the five great villages A daimyo is like a puppet, a regime puppet!A regime without any force in its hands is a puppet regime!
Have you ever wondered why they didn't declare war on the Five Great Nations, but chose to declare war on the Five Great Villages?Isn't this because the five major powers hardly have any armed force now, and basically all the armed forces are concentrated in the five major villages?

Didn't you realize that the influence of the five major villages is still higher than that of the five major countries? "

Mizukage also picked up the wine glass and took a sip, thinking carefully about what Jiraiya said, the more he thought about it, the more profound it felt.Take Konoha as an example, the current Konoha can be said to be a unique existence, even if the other five major countries add up, it may not be as powerful as Konoha, but Konoha is still a vassal of the Kingdom of Fire on the bright side, but Actually?The daimyo of the country of fire can't do anything to Konoha, and she also heard that the daimyo of the country of fire is able to get to the top because of Konoha's relationship, so that daimyo put his younger sister in Konoha.From this point of view, it is possible that the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire is actually Konoha's vassal.

She also knows that Konoha no longer needs to receive funding from the Fire Nation’s Daming Mansion these years. Konoha’s own economic strength is very strong, and the only safe trading place in the entire ninja world is there. Enough for Konoha's expenses, plus the famous Shumao snack shop in the Ninja World, and some other service industries, it can be said that the traffic brought by that trading place and snack shop alone has pulled up the entire Konoha. Ye's economy, even heard that Konoha's ninjas don't have to go out to do tasks, and Konoha's economy will not collapse.

At the same time, as far as she knows, Konoha invests a large amount of money in the resettlement of refugees and orphans, as well as in Konoha's environmental construction, medical construction, and research department construction. This is obviously earned by Konoha himself, not Ask the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire to ask for it, or borrow it.

Thinking of this, she suddenly discovered that the water in Konoha was very deep, and it seemed that there was not a single wave to be seen, but a dragon palace might have been built under the pool, right?
"you……"

"That's why Shu Mao said, it's okay if those people don't come, if they come, they are our prey, and the following five names, to put it bluntly, are actually our bait, that's it .”

"But……"

"I know what you want to say, are you saying, is it wrong for us to do this? Is it immoral? But you have to know that if you want your own people to live well, some things must be done.

I might as well tell you that we, Konoha, should not say that the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire has already belonged to Konoha, and it was requested by the daimyo himself. "

"why?"

"Because under the protection of our Konoha, the Nation of Fire can be stable, stable, and peaceful, and we can bring huge wealth to the entire Nation of Fire. Why don't you say they choose us? Don't say anything else, just With those few guys in the Daming Mansion who know how to eat and drink all day long, the entire Kingdom of Fire can be managed in an orderly manner? Do you think this is possible? Is it realistic?"

"In the final analysis, it's because of the strength of Konoha, right?" Mizukage said with emotion.

"Yeah, the old man always said recently that Konoha has changed and become even more powerful. He, the third Hokage, has been working all his life, but he didn't expect that when he was about to sink into the ground, Konoha would be able to straighten his back and stand upright." Come to think of it, this is what he didn't expect, of course not only he didn't expect it, but we people didn't expect it either. So, now you understand why Shumao is so favored by the old man and us here, right?"

"He brought these to Konoha?"

"Well, the old man has been telling us that one of the things he is most proud of is bringing Shumao back to Konoha. It doesn't matter.

For example, the arena he set up seems to be a simple place to exchange ninjutsu, exchange combat experience, and even resolve some personal grievances, but it is precisely because of the existence of such an arena that Konoha secretly Those actions are much less, and they often fight, which also greatly improves Konoha's ninja combat experience, and even the goods in the shops around the arena are also selling well.Of course, there are also some private occasional gambling fights.But just such an arena will have an impact on the economy and strength of the entire Konoha, have you ever thought about it?

You may only see the medical building, the trading floor, and the new ninja school, but you may have never paid attention to the arena, have you?That is actually a major source of income for Konoha.The following five daimyos, do you know what they like to do most when they visit Konoha? "

"What is it?"

"It is to let their guards fight in Konoha's arena to gamble. The amount is very large each time, and some businessmen will also set up gambling games here. We Konoha can make a lot of profits just by relying on these games. Less, plus the fighting skills learned from it, those things cannot be exchanged for money, now you are thinking about the arena!"

"Hearing what you said, I suddenly had the idea of ​​building a building like this in my village."

"Don't talk about you, even Tsunade wanted to go to the arena when he first learned that gambling was allowed, but Shumao blocked him. Shumao said that they can gamble there, and they set the conditions themselves. Konoha only charges related management fees, maintenance fees, and commissions, but if Konoha officials go to hold such a gambling game, it’s hard to say whether there are people participating, so it’s hard to say if you want to manage the arena. There cannot be any official nature to participate in the gambling game.

Tsunade dismissed that idea only after the old man and Shumao persuaded him.For this reason, she quarreled with Shumao for several days.Speaking of which, only Shumao can subdue Tsunade! "

"Are you envious? Don't you?"

"Indeed, I'm very envious of that kid. That kid never touches flowers and plants, but those flowers and plants stick to his body desperately. I really don't know what's so good about that kid. I can't figure it out. You said Can I not envy that kid?

Back then, Minato directly picked all the class flowers in his class, but now that boy actually took all the women's hearts, but he only wanted to be buried, and the other women didn't make trouble, you know?On the day he got married, I was looking forward to someone making trouble. I didn't expect that none of those women made trouble, but it seemed that they basically didn't show up. "

"Why did you show up? If it wasn't for me being Mizukage, I wouldn't want to participate either." Mizukage murmured in a low voice, but Zilaiye was too drunk to understand, and didn't hear this sentence.

"Forget it, let's go down and stay with the five of them." Zi Laiye was almost done drinking, so he stood up, patted his buttocks, and walked downstairs.
