Hokage: I and the Kami

The position issue in Ninja Village has come to a head, and then Bai Nan will focus on another extremely important matter.

There are a total of 400 people in the Qingshui family. Bai Nan has no statistics on the exact number. The clan records the data, but it will not be updated at any time. Because people die too frequently in this era, the clan data is not accurate.

Bai Nan calculated that the Qingshui family had 350 people, and the Xizhu family he had just taken over, he counted on the way back, there were 330 people in total, which was a little less than their Qingshui family.

The two families add up to about 680 people, and Bai Nan counts 700 people. The biggest problem facing these 700 people now is not the discomfort after the merger, nor any institutional problems, nor the hatred between the two families, but It's a food problem!

Although this is a world where great power belongs to individuals, there is no way to survive. Even the most powerful ninjas have to eat and drink like ordinary people, and even the food intake of ninjas is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Because the essence of chakra is produced by the combination of mental energy and physical energy. Leaving aside mental energy, physical energy needs to be obtained by exercising. In this way, in order to support the body to become stronger, it is natural to consume more food.

Others are unclear, but Bai Nan knows that their Qingshui family's main source of food in the past was hunting and fishing in the mountains, followed by growing some vegetables.

The location of Qingshui's house is quite good. There is a river nearby and there is another choice for food sources.

But even so, Bai Nan is worried about insufficient food supply in the future. In the past, the Qingshui family only had more than 300 people. The forest could still bear the need for food. But now that there are more than 300 people, can the forest still bear it? ?

With more than 700 people, you can't hunt all the time. If you kill too hard, the nearby wild animals will definitely die or run away. You can't fish all the time. There has to be a fishing moratorium, otherwise the catch will be finished sooner or later. In other words, Their current main food sources are "limited" and it is difficult to expand production.

So, food is certainly fine in the near term, but what about the future?What will happen if there is not enough food in the future?

In fact, this problem is one of the reasons for the endless wars between ninja families. Food limits the population of the ninja family. Once the number of people exceeds the limit, sooner or later the food supply will not be available, and then the extra people will starve to death.

In order to grow the family, it is necessary to obtain more food sources, and other ninja families occupy the food sources. If you want to obtain them, you have to rob them, so a war breaks out.

Bai Nan's solution to this situation is to farm. He is Chinese, and farming is instinctive. However, after hard work in the past six years, he finally found that the land in the mountainous areas was very barren and the harvest was not optimistic. However, the land beside the river is very fertile, and the harvest is very good.

But the fatal problem is that he has no crop seeds that can be used as staple food. They are basically crops such as wild vegetables. The reason is that the Qingshui family did not pay attention to crops in the past and only regarded them as a small food supplement. Naturally, they would not pay special attention to them. Go collect relevant seeds.

“We must farm!”

Bai Nan made up his mind. He was not the clan leader before, and many things could not be settled with one word. Now he has become the clan leader. He also led the family to defeat the old enemy Nishizhu family, and brought many ninjutsu to the family. His prestige is at its peak. At the peak, many things can be settled with one word.

Only by having a huge source of food can you raise a huge family. Food is the foundation of everything, and farming is imperative.

Bai Nan immediately called for someone and issued an order - let the tribesmen go out to look for crops. If they found crops, they would write down the appearance and report it to him later.

What to do if there are no crops that can be used as staple food?Ninjas can't create this out of thin air, so they have to look for it. They have to look for it. It's impossible not to look for it.

At the same time, Bai Nan found the former elder Qingshui Masaaki.

Six years have passed, and Shimizu Masaaki has become a bit older. The two looked at each other, and Bai Nan couldn't help but sigh.

There are no old people in the ninja family. Once old age appears, countless hidden wounds will appear one after another. After a few years of life, six years after coming to this world, the only old ninja person Bai Nan has seen is Chimizu Chisa.

Masaaki Shimizu's current state already shows that his life is short.

Shimizu Masaaki seemed to have seen through Bai Nan's thoughts and smiled freely.

"Clan leader, you are still young and cannot see through life and death. I am actually very lucky. I can die naturally without being attacked by swords. I am luckier than many clan members. What else is there to be dissatisfied about? I can probably still contribute to the family now. For two or three years, if the clan leader has any instructions, just say so."

Bai Nan pursed his lips, but in the end he wasn't being pretentious. He was used to dead people, and maybe he had been somewhat assimilated by this era. It was difficult for him to feel the kind of sadness that came from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle Zhengming, I want you to take a hundred tribesmen to the Xizhu family's tribe and take over their fishing business."

The Xizhu family is close to the sea, so of course it is impossible not to have fisheries. Bai Nan moved everyone in the Xizhu family here, but he did not intend to give up the original source of food for the Xizhu family.

"One hundred?" Qingshui Masaaki hesitated: "If I take away a hundred clansmen, the number of Xizhu clan members left in the family will exceed our Qingshui clan members. Will this..."

"It's okay. I'm here. I can defeat them once, and of course I can defeat them twice. They don't dare to cause trouble."

Bai Nan did not hesitate and showed great confidence in this matter. He had to give Masaaki Shimizu enough confidence so that he could focus on fishing with confidence. Nothing was as important as food now.

Masaaki Shimizu smiled slightly. The new patriarch gave him the same feeling - confidence, extreme self-confidence. In the past, when he was still young, Masaaki Shimizu felt that he looked like the previous patriarch. Later, he found that he was not like the previous patriarch. confidence.

"In this way, Zhengming is relieved. When will we set off?"

"I hope the sooner the better, but after all, it is a team of 100 people. It's up to you, Uncle Zhengming, to set off when you are ready. My minimum requirement is to set off within a month."

"As ordered."

Qingshui Masaaki retreated.

Bai Nan leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and rubbed his head. There were too many things to consider and deal with, such as food issues, detailed job issues, the issue of abolishing the Boy Scouts, the disagreement between the Qingshui tribe and the Xizhu tribe, every day This is a headache, but this is just an internal matter, and there will be a lot of external problems later.

He annexed the Nishiki family. What will the Nara family do about it?Will the Uchiha and Senju really stop the big family from punishing the smaller family in this matter?What will other small families and big families think of them?

There are too many problems, and there will only be more and more problems in the future. Bai Nan feels tired.

Her white hands touched Bai Nan's shoulders and gently rubbed them for him.

Bai Nan could recognize it without turning around. It was Masako.

In fact, Masako and Yako have always been with Bai Nan, but since Bai Nan entered Nizhu's house, problems have continued, and Bai Nan really can't find time to talk to them.

It wasn't until she had some free time that Bai Nan remembered something she had wanted to say for a long time.

"Masako, if you are tired, take Yako to rest for a few days."

Masako and Yako are both Bai Nan's nominal guards. It is their job to follow Bai Nan. At this moment, Bai Nan is equivalent to giving them a holiday.

"We are just standing aside and watching the clan leader do what we do. How can we be considered tired?"

Masako stood behind Bai Nan and refused the vacation given by Bai Nan.

Bai Nan leaned on the back of the chair and raised his head back. Masako also lowered his head and looked at Bai Nan. The two faces were looking up and down, looking at each other.

After looking at each other, Bai Nan blushed a little and quickly looked away.

When he was nine years old, he had no interest in women at all. Even when he went to get married, he acted like it had nothing to do with him. Even when he brought Misa Rokujo back to the family, he did not deliberately go to meet her. That "ring son".

But now, with the development of his body, Bai Nan found that he had changed. He would blush involuntarily when he looked at a woman for a while. He would also subconsciously observe those young and beautiful girls in the clan, and sometimes do some things at night. Indescribable dreams.

I wanted to abandon the woman and concentrate on practicing swordsmanship, but I didn't expect that my body would betray me.

What's good about women?What's the use of thinking about this every day? Can it make me stronger?Can it make the family stronger?Can you defeat the Nara family?cannot!Not at all!

If that's the case, what's so good about women?Bai Nan was really surprised. Thinking about it, he secretly raised his head again, glanced at Masako, and then quickly lowered his head after reading it.

But I feel something is wrong. I am the leader of the clan. Why should I be so cautious?

Immediately, Bai Nan raised his head again and continued to stare at Masako.

Masako looked at Bai Nan's strange look and opened her mouth. She wanted to ask, "Is there something wrong, patriarch?", but when the words came to her lips, she smiled playfully and asked instead.

"Does it look good?"

Bai Nan blinked and was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly withdrew his eyes without answering.

He never thought that Masako, who had always been quiet, would actually tease people?Bai Nan felt that her cheeks were hot and her heart was beating rapidly.

Is Masako good-looking?Of course it looks good, but Bai Nan still feels that he has lost his temper. Faced with such a sentence, he actually had such a big reaction?It must be this body's fault!

After all, he is 15 years old, and he is no longer the nine-year-old boy who turned a blind eye to the opposite sex.

However, thinking of this, Bai Nan thought of another thing - his eldest brother's marriage.

Shimizu Shinji is now 29 years old and unmarried. As I said before, the marriage of the patriarch's son is an important bargaining chip for the family, so it's not that Shimizu Shinji doesn't want to get married, it's for the sake of the family. He can't get married unless the family needs it.

Speaking of which, there is one strange thing that Bai Nan can't figure out, that is, in such a chaotic era full of wars, the ninja family can still maintain the tradition of monogamy, which is puzzling.

It stands to reason that in such a war-torn era, many things that cannot be done can be done at this time. Polygamy is almost inevitable for powerful people, but in this era, monogamy is strangely maintained. situation.

However, that is not all. There are a few ninja families who choose polygamy, but most ninja families are still monogamous, and the Shimizu family is one of them.

It is precisely because of monogamy that it is absolutely a tragedy for Shinji Shimizu to be unmarried at the age of 29.

In the past, Bai Nan was not qualified to decide on such an important bargaining chip as his eldest brother's marriage. Now that he is the leader of the clan, he has the ability to make decisions. Naturally, he wants to find a wife for his eldest brother, a 29-year-old virgin who will die at the age of 50 or [-]. Times are simply miserable.

But there's nothing he can do about it. He is the son of the patriarch, and he is born to bear this responsibility, whether he wants it or not.

It just so happened that now that the Nishiki family had been annexed, the intentions of the Nara family and the two overlords were uncertain, so it would be good to use the eldest brother's marriage to find an ally.
