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

After some banter, everyone except Asuma felt uncomfortable relaxed, and they continued on their journey.

With the speed of a group of jonin, it didn't take long to reach the capital of the Land of Fire. After that, they didn't encounter any large-scale assassinations or ambushes. It wasn't that the Root didn't want to, but they couldn't. Every ambush was discovered by Kazama, and the people accompanying them were extremely powerful. They took detours in advance or rushed through directly, so no one was hurt.

After the annihilation of the previous teams, the Root members became much more cautious. They no longer attacked rashly, but chose to follow with three teams, without any contact, until they "escorted" Tsunade into the kingdom.

"Ah, the tense journey is finally over, and the rats behind me have also calmed down. It seems that I can relax a little." Feng Jian never stopped sensing during the journey. Can you imagine the boring scenes of various water balls playing in his mind? The key is that Feng Jian dared not ignore it. Who knows which water ball will suddenly turn into a human figure, and that will be their death ghost.

The success of this negotiation would determine whether Konoha could rise again, so Tsunade had to be prepared. She no longer had the thought of going out to gamble, and was completely immersed in the simulation of various details in the negotiation.

The negotiation process was shorter than Kazama had imagined. In Kazama's opinion, the negotiation between the Hokage and the Daimyo must have been full of twists and turns, with all kinds of calculations and conspiracies mixed in, and then the cooperation was reached quietly. It was a super high-level negotiation meeting that anyone with a slow brain could not keep up with.

As a result, Tsunade was serious all night, and early the next morning she walked into the Daimyo's mansion with Kakashi leisurely, as familiar as if it were her own home. Then Tsunade and the Daimyo hugged each other in a friendly manner, a real hug, and then one called the other "Little Tsunade", and the other replied "bad old man".

"What's going on?" Kakashi was dumbfounded. Why did these two people look so familiar?

In fact, this involves a secret of the Senju family. When Hashirama Senju established the ninja village, he finally chose to govern it together with the daimyo, forming a mutually dependent relationship. However, Hashirama Senju's military force was too strong, which oppressed the daimyo's power space.

As a ruler, how could Ming Dynasty, who was very good at political tactics, sit back and watch this huge mountain on his head? Of course, it was impossible to get rid of Senju Hashirama, the daimyo did not have the ability to do so, but it was possible to win him over.

For example, the marriage between the Senju clan and the daimyo clan. Why is Tsunade called Tsunade-hime? "Hime" means princess. It is not the self-proclaimed "Habi" like Kazama who gave his summoning beast to himself, but the "Tsunade-hime" recognized by the five major countries, which means "Princess Tsunade". Simply put, Tsunade's parents definitely have the blood of the daimyo. The relationship between Tsunade and the daimyo should be that of uncle and niece, or uncle and nephew.

From the way they address each other, it can be seen that the two are definitely familiar with each other. Although "bad old man" is an insult, with Tsunade's personality, she would only insult people close to her, such as the Third Generation, and call him the Third Generation old man.

When Tsunade was a child, she must have been teased by the daimyo, so she was called the evil old man.

As for why Tsunade's parents are not well-known, it is of course to protect them. The idea of ​​the Hokage's children marrying the Daimyo's children is something that makes other major countries tremble with fear. If Tsunade's ninja talent was not so good, it is more likely that she would stay in the Daimyo's mansion and become a real princess.

"Bad old man, Konoha is almost bankrupted by the teacher and his companions. If this continues, Konoha will continue to weaken. I need your support." Tsunade was very direct. After the two exchanged greetings, she got straight to the point.

"Oh, do you need to increase the military budget? Since Tsunade still remembers me, the budget will be increased by 20% this time. Oh, hehe." The daimyo replied with a smile. If Tsunade asked, he would dare to agree. He knew Tsunade's character too well. If she was not really in dire straits, she would never ask for help. What's more, there is a family relationship involved. As an elder, he must support the career of the younger generation.

"Oh, the Daimyo is going to increase the funding? That's great. I haven't been to the casino in Daimyo Prefecture for a long time." Tsunade smiled. This was the truth. Daimyo Prefecture was the most prosperous place in the Land of Fire, and the casino must be of the highest standards.

"That won't do. Military funds are not private money for Tsunade." The daimyo still had a smile on his face. He had seen with his own eyes that this junior had a reputation for gambling. He could see that at such a young age, he could go out on the street and spend money on betting on snacks.

"Military spending still needs to be increased. However, under the leadership of the Third Hokage, Konoha's system has become rigid and has been corrupt for too long. Although it appears to be prosperous, it actually has no foundation. Therefore, I have established an agricultural department and intend to be self-sufficient in part of the military spending. I need the support of the Daimyo."

"Ministry of Agriculture?" The daimyo opened his eyes. The establishment of a new department often means new responsibilities, which can be self-sufficient in part of the military expenditure. The daimyo's political mind immediately became clear, and he opened his eyes, which seemed cloudy but were actually shrewd.

"That's right. It's the number one ninja village in the ninja world, and people outside know it as the cradle of geniuses. But what I saw was that, until I took office, there was only one Kakashi with the title of elite jonin, who was worth using. Apart from Jiraiya and me, there were no other Kage-level strongmen. Is this still Konoha? Moreover, there are many unspoken rules in the village, all of which are relying on Konoha to absorb nutrients and fatten themselves. If it continues like this, Konoha will only continue to weaken until it collapses." First explain the current predicament and highlight the need to establish a Ministry of Agriculture.

"As for the Ministry of Agriculture, it was originally just a place to recycle waste and provide jobs for the large number of retired ninjas in the village. Later, some Genin who failed to graduate from the Ninja School or had no talent joined. These people would only be cannon fodder on the battlefield, the kind that would be killed in vain, so I arranged for them to farm."

"I didn't expect them to have received ninja training. They may not have much combat power, but they are good at farming. Chakra allows them to release ninjutsu, and farming ninjutsu does not require power or timing. It can be released slowly, which gives them room to perform. The land they cultivate by one person may be more and better than that cultivated by 100 ordinary people. A large amount of land is cultivated, and the output is also abundant. The output is mainly food, herbs, fruits and other crops that can be grown in large quantities. The economic benefits are considerable."

"The ninjas have gone to farm, what will you do when we need you to fight?" The daimyo still couldn't tell the difference between combat ninjas and production ninjas.

"Those with high talent and strong fighting ability will naturally focus on fighting. Those with low talent, those who cannot even graduate from the Ninja School, and those who are disabled are not suitable for fighting. Instead, they can play their value by engaging in production."

"Completely self-sufficient?"

"No, a ninja can't grow up just by eating food. In addition to their own talents, they also need ninjutsu, equipment, various logistical supplies, etc. The Ministry of Agriculture can only produce some food at best."
