Konoha: Who says that hunters can't play in the ninja world?

A new day has begun. The sun is shining and the air is fresh. Tsunade's mood is like the rising sun, full of vitality. She walked into the Hokage's office with brisk steps and leaned comfortably on the Hokage's exclusive chair. Even the extremely annoying documents looked so pleasing to the eye.

"Lady Tsunade seems to be in a good mood?" Shizune's mood also improved along with Tsunade's.

"Yeah, that's right. Oh, and call Kakashi, Shikaku, and Jiraiya over here. Oh, and call Team Kazama over as well."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade." Shizune took the order and left.

Ninjas work quickly and soon the Hokage's office was full of people. Of course, the Kazama team had no seats and could only stand aside like minions.

"Yesterday, Feng Jian gave me an inspiration. Please help me analyze it and see if it is suitable."

“Hmm~…” Everyone present looked over.

"The elders have already extended their tentacles into every department of Konoha. No matter where we start, we are likely to alert them. If we alert them, it will not be easy for us to take back the power of these departments, unless they make a mistake and we catch them." After a pause, he said, "Since the situation has become like this and it is difficult to intervene, then we will start anew."

"Starting a new business? What does that mean? Tsunade, I don't quite understand what you mean." Jiraiya was relatively impatient, while the other two, Shikaku and Kakashi, were lost in thought.

"They are expanding their family and reaching out to various departments, just for power and money. As for power, I am the Hokage, and they can only maintain it at most, otherwise it will be an opportunity for me to catch them. As for money? We still have to use them to do things, and the money will definitely not be strangled, and even if we catch someone, he will only be a pawn. It is too easy for these big families to cut off their arms and survive. Which family doesn't have a few death warriors?" Tsunade analyzed the situation with a smile on her face.

"So, regarding power, Shikaku, you keep an eye on it for me. Any promotion or replacement of personnel must be approved by the Hokage's office. If not, it will not count. The Anbu directly under the Hokage is under your control, so keep an eye on it."

"As for money, Konoha Village's funds mainly come from commissions and grants from the daimyo. They can't cheat on commissions because it's relatively transparent, and the price is clearly marked. Grants from the daimyo are the main source of funds for all of Konoha's public measures. They also make the most of their money. Here, we can only keep a close eye on them as much as possible, but we can't push them too hard. In this regard, Shikaku should keep an eye on them."

"It seems that we can't get involved in any aspect. In this case, we will start from scratch. Set up a new department. Since this department is newly established, it is difficult for them to judge whether it is profitable. Moreover, since it is proposed by me, they will not object and will not get involved for the time being. This gives us an opportunity. As long as our newly established department can create good profits, we can squeeze the space of other departments in turn and eat away at them little by little. Until we replace them."

"Tsunade, are you overthinking it? The new department needs to generate good profits. Are you sure you can achieve this requirement?" Jiraiya listened for a long time and felt that Tsunade's plan was too fantastic.

"Starting from scratch, developing new revenue, and then squeezing out the space of other departments, this is a good idea, but I also agree with what Master Jiraiya said, if this department wants to make a good profit, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"I have a similar idea." Kakashi agreed with the above.

"You know what? Yesterday I saw another way of survival for ninjas. Especially for mid-level and low-level ninjas, and even students in ninja schools, it is another safer and more affluent way of life." Tsunade did not jump up and accuse, but instead started a new explanation.

"In what way?"

"A ninja is a tool for completing tasks. The daily routine of a ninja is to continuously complete tasks to earn commissions to support themselves. This is the way most ninjas survive."

"Yes, almost all ninjas come here this way."

"But once the mission reaches C-level, the danger level of the mission increases sharply. There are hundreds of students graduating every year, but less than half can survive and become Chunin. In other words, at least half of them die in the missions after leaving school." At this point, everyone felt heavy.

"What a waste," Tsunade lamented.

"??"

"What do you mean?"

"Waste, I heard it wrong."

Everyone was puzzled by what he meant. What kind of statement was this? It was a waste if someone died. Being a ninja was a dangerous profession. It was destined that one's hands would be stained with blood. It was normal for someone to die. What kind of statement was this?

"Tsunade, although it's a pity that the Genin were eliminated, it's a bit too much to say that it's a waste. They are not money, not food, not items. But it is also because of this great success that the level of Konoha's ninja elites can be said to be famous in the ninja world. Otherwise, how did Konoha get the title of the first ninja village in the ninja world?"

"They can survive."

"Once you take the path of a ninja, it's destined to be a fight to the death. They just had bad luck, so they can't blame others. They might not be willing to be ordinary people." Jiraiya thought Tsunade was thinking about sad things again and planned to comfort her.

"I said, they don't have to die. Who said they have to die to become a ninja?"

"A ninja is..." Tsunade interrupted him with a wave of her hand before he could finish.

"I said, they can live and be ninjas. The two are not contradictory." Tsunade glanced around and no one understood what she meant, so the envoy continued.

"I plan to set up an agricultural department. This department will recruit all newly graduated Genin, injured cruel people, and even students who have not graduated from the ninja school. As long as they can awaken chakra, they will be accepted. I will lead them to farm."

"Farming?" Everyone was confused. Fengjian smiled. After talking for so long, they finally got to the point.

"That's right, farming. Why do ninjas carry out missions? It's for a living. Take a Genin for example. The commissions they get from carrying out missions for a month are barely enough to support themselves. At most, they can buy some equipment and a few more shurikens, but they have to be careful with their budgeting. But a Genin who goes to farming can also support himself and have an output..."

"Wait, wait, farming? Then what's the difference between them and ordinary people? Even if they are newly graduated Genin, they are still ninjas. They can't be treated as ordinary people." Jiraiya became serious. He realized that Tsunade seemed to be on the wrong track.

"I know they are ninjas, but I don't want those who don't have chakra or can't use it. If they just want to farm like ordinary people, why would I just hire ordinary people? Why would I hire ninjas? What I mean is that I want them to farm using ninjutsu."

"Using ninjutsu to farm?" Everyone was shocked. This was an unprecedented proposition. Only the Kazama team understood.
