Chapter 233 The breakdown of the alliance

The four genin road construction team here are just a microcosm of the current architecture of the Kingdom of Water. Scenes like this can be said to be everywhere in the land of the Kingdom of Water.

Not only in road construction, but also in railway construction, housing construction, and even agricultural cultivation and harvesting, the genin team of Kirigakure Village can be said to have played a huge role.

In the field of agricultural production, not to mention anything else, the physical strength of a genin alone is enough to cultivate dozens of acres of land without any ninjutsu.

In agricultural sowing, watering, harvesting and other aspects, the ninja's own ninjutsu provides more possibilities for these aspects.

For example, the simplest one, the C-level ninjutsu "Wind Release: Jutsu", is far more efficient than ordinary people in terms of harvesting. The harvesting speed per unit area of ​​land is even comparable to the large-scale ninja in the previous life of Ghost Light Crescent Moon. agricultural machinery.

For this reason, Kirigakure Village established the Kirigakure Village Agricultural Club, which is responsible for handling agricultural-related affairs in the Land of Water.

However, the main members of the Kirigakure Agricultural Society are not the official ninjas of Kirigakure Village, but students from the Kirigakure Ninja School.

This kind of farm work is not a battle. The physical fitness of the Ninja School students and the Ninjutsu learned during school are enough to handle such a level of tasks.

And doing so will not only make the most of this group of cheap labor, but more importantly, it will improve the physical fitness of this group of students.

When talking about doing farm work, the first scene that flashes in Gui Deng Xinyue's mind is the scene in the early days of Dragon Ball, where Sun Wukong and Krillin follow the Turtle Immortal carrying dozens of kilograms of turtle shells and deliver milk to do farm work.

So Gui Deng Xinyue simply borrowed it and used the contribution points as a temptation to make these students carry out agricultural operations under load-bearing conditions, which was euphemistically called extracurricular practical homework.

Naturally, this group of students who had been brainwashed by Ghost Lantern Crescent had no objections. At the cost of a few contribution points, they became labor dispatch workers for the Kirigakure Agricultural Club.

In addition to the agricultural field, in housing construction, Ghost Light Crescent also ordered Kirigakure Village to establish the Kirigakure Real Estate Development and Construction Club.

This club is affiliated to the Kirigakure Village Assets Committee. Due to its background in Kirigakure Village, this club is mainly responsible for real estate development in the Land of Water.

For ordinary housing, it is very simple and normal.

Earth Release and Water Release Ninjutsu are used one after another, laying foundations, transporting building materials, gluing, etc. In essence, they are no different from road construction, which is civil engineering work.

For those wealthy people, or home buyers with special needs, the Wuyin Village Real Estate Development and Construction Association naturally has its own corresponding construction methods.

And the development method is also very simple and very characteristic of ninjas - that is, using "Earth Release·Youwei Transformation" for real estate development.

This ninjutsu is essentially a psychic technique. Before using it, you need to seal the terrain or buildings prepared in advance in a sealed map. When used, it is similar to the psychic technique. The user can bite his finger to remove it. The house built in advance was summoned from a different space.

This ninjutsu was originally mastered by Yamato, one of the twelve guardian ninjas who guarded the Daimyo in the Land of Fire.

In the original book, this guy cooperated with the other Twelve Guardian Ninjas to launch a raid on Konoha, and used this move to surround Yamato's team during the raid.

However, since Ghost Light New Moon needs it, with the strength of Kirigakure Village at this time, even if the ninja named Fudo is unwilling, he can only hand over the practice of ninjutsu obediently with the cooperation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. method.

And because of the convenience of this ninjutsu, Ghost Light Crescent even planned to transform the Kirigakure Village Real Estate Development and Construction Club into a ninja engineering team on the spot during the war, that is, using the convenience of summoning buildings through this "Earth Release·Youwei Transformation" Sexually, prepare a large fortress or solid construction project in advance and seal it into this sealed map in advance.

As soon as the war starts, and when the ninjas need to seize a certain place or snipe the enemy somewhere, they will order the ninja engineering team to go out and use this ninjutsu to quickly build a defense fortification.

Perhaps the only shortcoming of the current Ninja Engineering Team is the number of Earth Escape Ninjas.

Kirigakure Village may be close to the sea. The ninjas here generally have the two chakra attributes of wind and water, but generally lack the fire and thunder chakra attributes.

In this case, there are not many ninjas who can escape, but they are definitely not too many.

As for the ninjutsu "Earth Release: Youwei Transformation", it is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say, but after all, it is not something that a normal genin can master.

Therefore, this has also become an important factor limiting the size of the Ninja Engineering Team.

However, when the Eastern Continent Ninja Schools start to open in a few years, and a large number of outstanding ninja students from the Eastern Continent come to Kirigakure, this restriction may be easily solved.

Since it is now a non-war period, the main responsibility of this engineering team is to build housing and earn profits for the village.

——

In the land of water, the newly built port city Rikuqian City in the west is an important place for Kirigakure Real Estate Development and Construction Club to show its talents.

Since Gui Deng Xinyue secretly controls the political affairs of the Water Country, and the Kirigakure Village has already completed industrialization, the Water Country will naturally vigorously develop commerce and open more ports for trade.

Although Kirigakure Village has now become the largest commercial and trade distribution center in the Kingdom of Water, Kirigakure Village also has military attributes after all and cannot endlessly expand the amount of trade.

Therefore, under the orders of Shuidu Fu (x) and Gui Deng Xinyue (√), the Kingdom of Water selected several port cities as important nodes for the Kingdom of Water to further develop its foreign trade network.

Rikuzen Port was selected as a port city for expansion under this background.

In the current Rikuzen Port, with the help of dozens of fog ninjas, wide streets and standard houses are rising at a rapid speed, and the port, which is a key construction port, is also growing from scratch at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was built.

"Oh my god...can ninjas still do this kind of work?"

The officials sent here by Shui Dufu looked at this scene and were so surprised that they couldn't help themselves.

As a senior official of the Kingdom of Water, he had naturally hired ninjas from Kirigakure Village before, but the reason why he hired ninjas was also because of their military strength.

But the scene in front of him made him deeply understand that although the ninjas were excellent in martial arts, they were also good in the field of construction.

"Yes, I used to regard these mud-legged guys as thugs, and it seemed that they were a waste of resources. Now it seems that these guys are doing the right thing!"

The local nobles of Luqian Port couldn't help but sigh when they looked at the scene in front of them.

boom!

At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance, and in an open space not far from the port, a ninja was standing there biting his thumb.

Along with the display of ninjutsu, a vast and majestic building rose from the ground. It was the official residence of Rikuzen Port management officials.

To ordinary people, this scene, which is like a "miracle", while shocking ordinary people beyond measure, has undoubtedly greatly increased the reputation of Kirigakure Village.

And thanks to the fact that Rikuzen Port is an important node selected by the Kingdom of Water to expand trade opening, what happens here is constantly being spread to the ninja continent with the merchants coming and going.

While Kirigakure Construction Club's reputation has greatly increased and it has received many foreign orders, the various changes that have taken place in the Kingdom of Water have inevitably spread to the ears of other countries, Ninja Village and other forces.

When the daimyo from the four great kingdoms of Fire, Thunder, Wind, and Earth heard this, they had no other reaction other than being surprised at the role played by the ninjas in the field of production and using it as a source of conversation.

On the other hand, the four ninja villages of Konoha, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure are very excited about the new uses of ninja developed by Kirigakure.

After all, for these four ninja villages that have just recovered from the Second Ninja War, funds are undoubtedly the biggest temptation.

Moreover, the essence of the ninjas accepting the commission is to exchange force for funds. Even the purpose of establishing the ninja village is to sell their own force in exchange for the country's military expenses to support themselves.

In essence, the relationship between the ninja village and the country is nothing more than a transaction.

Therefore, these four ninja villages are naturally envious of Kirigakure Village for establishing a construction club and contracting major national construction projects to earn a lot of money.

After all, the most profitable project since ancient times has been contracting national projects, and with the "good" relationship between Kirigakure Village and the Water Country officials, there is no need to worry about not being able to recover the final payment.

Therefore, the funds earned in the "First Five-Year Plan" launched by Kirigakure, the land of water, can be expected. Such a huge amount of funds will naturally make the other ninja villages jealous.

Naturally, other ninja villages have established village-owned construction companies, hoping to gain a piece of fat in this field.

Unfortunately, countries differ from country to country, and not all national governments are willing to engage in such infrastructure projects.

After all, this kind of large-scale infrastructure construction with high investment and slow returns must be led by the state, which means that it will inevitably consume a large amount of state funds.

For the daimyo of these countries, there are only a few roads they can take. It is enough to ensure that there are roads connecting several important cities in the country. There is no need to build roads in the remaining remote places.

And not only the daimyo, but also the nobles in the country also had this idea.

Building so many roads undoubtedly consumes a huge amount of money, and all of this money comes from the national treasury. As we all know, the money in the treasury does not belong to the country, but to their nobles. They want to get money from them to build roads for the country...

Don’t you have any brains? ——

"Lord Raikage, the daimyo vetoed our construction company's proposal to contract for road construction in the Kingdom of Thunder."

In Hidden Cloud Village, Raikage Building, the third Raikage was holding a huge dumbbell while listening to Dodai's report.

Sweat continuously emerged from the forehead of the Third Raikage, dripping down on his bronzed skin.

boom!

The Third Raikage finally finished his daily training today. When the two dumbbells were placed on the ground, the entire Raikage Building could faintly feel the shaking feeling, which was enough to show the weight of the pair of dumbbells.

"What a short-sighted guy...you still want to surpass the Fire Nation and become the most powerful country in the ninja world?"

The Third Raikage wiped his sweat while complaining about the contemporary Daimyos of the Land of Thunder.

Among the five major countries at that time, if one country's daimyo had the best relationship with the leader of the ninja village, it would be the Country of Fire and the Country of Thunder.

Needless to say, the Fire Nation also knew that their ability to maintain their number one position in the ninja world was inseparable from the help of Konoha. The relationship between the successive daimyo and the Hokage was very good.

Even after Danzo Shimura came to power, his relationship with the daimyo was still very good due to his domineering character.

Besides the Kingdom of Fire, there is also the Kingdom of Thunder.

If the purpose of the harmony between the kings and ministers of the Fire Country is to maintain the first place in the ninja world, then the purpose of the harmony between the kings and ministers of the Thunder Country is to compete for the top spot in the ninja world.

Under the premise of this goal, the financial support provided by the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder to Yunyin Village every year is actually very large.

But not everyone can clearly realize the important role of a good road network in the country. Although the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder wants to suppress the Kingdom of Fire, this does not mean that he is willing to invest his money in this country. In a bottomless pit of no profit for a long time, the wishes of the Third Raikage are destined to fail.

"Lord Raikage, now that Kirigakure Village has won the infrastructure project of the Kingdom of Water, it means that within five years at least, funding for Kirigakure Village will no longer be a problem."

Dodai looked at the Third Raikage, hesitated for a moment and then said:

"If this is the case, it means that our economic suppression of it has failed. In this case, if we do not go to war, we might as well give up the suppression of Kirigakure Village and start fighting with Kirigakure Village instead. Business dealings.”

The main reason why the three villages of Kumogakure, Konoha, and Iwagakure formed an alliance before was because of the inconclusive melee between the four villages during the Second Ninja World War.

Since there is no way to tell the difference between the boss and the second child, in order to prevent others from being picked up and at the same time to enhance their own strength, we can only kill the fourth and fifth children first, and then start the war after annexing them.

It was under the guidance of this idea that the top three of the five major ninja villages formed an alliance, hoping to suppress the development of the fourth and fifth ninjas as much as possible before the start of the third ninja war.

When the Sannin Village is almost developed, the Third Ninja World War will begin. First, they will join forces to destroy these two Ninja Villages to increase their own strength, and then compete for the No. 1 position in the Ninja World.

However, after Kirigakure Village undertook the infrastructure projects in the Kingdom of Water and had such a large source of funds at hand, the suppression of Kirigakure Village was nothing short of a joke.

In view of the alliance between Kirigakure and Sunagakure Village and the frequent trade exchanges between the two, Sunagakure Village has not been affected by this and is also developing step by step.

This would also declare the failure of the Three Village Alliance.

Because the two-nin village is under the threat of national subjugation and annihilation, the three-nin village may not be able to resist others. After all, the Sannin Village also needs to leave a certain amount of troops in the country to protect its allies.

"So Raikage-sama, we might as well change our minds and continue targeting Konoha."

There was a glint in Dodai's intact single eye, "Since we didn't fight three against one last time, let's just bring Kirigakure in and form an anti-Konoha alliance."

"Three generations can't beat one, so four against one, they can beat one!"
