Chapter 157 Konoha is a commercial organization

   "Danzo? He, who has always been mercenary, objected?"

  Oshemaru raised his brows, and then smiled, "This guy is also sent by martial arts."

  Different from the old man who accepted his old age and turned to civilian politics, Danzo still spent a large part of his time improving his own strength, not to mention ninjutsu practice, he also hoped to use the first-generation cells to regain his youth.

   But Zhuanzhu Xiaochun and Mito Menyan are far inferior to these two. They look like they have been blinded by power, but they forget that their qualifications are obtained from fighting on the battlefield back then.

  Oshemaru licked his lips, "Two old guys, for a little benefit, they put on such an unbearable appearance, really..."

   "You can't say that, everyone has their own position."

  Besides, the lamp **** floating in the air rarely distinguished between the two elder advisors, and said with a smile,

"You are fighting on the battlefield, but they are operating in the village. They are in different positions, and the things they see are naturally different. In their eyes, Konoha is not just a mercenary, but also a labor seller. A business organization must be based on credibility.”

  Oshemaru frowned, "I know that..."

  「You don’t know enough, you stand too high, looking down is a bit distorted.」

   "After all, you are Konoha Sannin with extraordinary strength. The biggest trouble you have encountered since you were young is that the war has deprived you of your relatives and friends, you cannot know everything, and you cannot live forever."

  Deng Shen smiled, "But world peace, omniscience, immortality...these goals are as difficult for anyone."

  「Besides, all the troubles you encounter can be solved with hard work, so you “believe in blacksmithing and you have to be **** yourself”, thinking that you can solve all the troubles just by improving yourself.”

   "Of course there is no problem in improving one's own abilities, but this is actually a bit one-sided... Ordinary ninjas can't do it, and those businessmen also have their own choices."

  「For example, those merchants who originally issued employment tasks in Konoha stopped coming and chose other ninja villages. What can you do?」

   "Are you going to use illusion to control them, or are you going to use violence to threaten to kill his whole family if they don't come?"

   Orochimaru was silent.

  Illusion control, violent coercion... It's not that no one has done these things, but only those ninja villages who can't get on the stage, or wandering ninjas will use this method.

   It is impossible for Konoha to do this. Once a mistake is exposed, it will be a big scandal.

  By that time, businessmen from other countries will never come again, leaving aside their own country.

   This will be very troublesome. You must know that hiring tasks account for a huge proportion of Konoha's income.

  Military force is very deterrent when it is not used, but pure force has the opposite effect.

  Of course, this can also be attributed to lack of ability.

  Controlling one person will cause problems, but it is enough to control them all. It is not good to threaten a merchant, but threatening them together with those who can protect them, and killing them all if they do not come, can also solve the problem.

   This is indeed a direction of effort.

   Orochimaru licked his lips. The Genie was right in his evaluation of him. He was very familiar with and liked this method.

  Thinking of this, he suddenly understood Uchiha Madara's thinking when he formulated the "Eye of the Moon" plan.

  —Other people’s thoughts have nothing to do with me. They don’t listen to me, just because I am not strong enough, or my methods are not ruthless enough.

  The strong man who is as famous as the first Hokage is also an absolutely confident master, and is more extreme than himself.

   But this kind of behavior is properly a psychotic behavior.

   "It seems that you already have a little understanding."

  Deng Shen raised his eyebrows, "Besides, the idea of ​​'the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys' is actually very simple. In business, reputation is the most important thing, just like the world before me, such a treasure, such a thing..."

  「A certain business was booming back then, but their boss made some life style problems, and was framed, and then...」

  「...The current situation in the ninja world is the same. It is not just the Konoha family ninja villages. Others, such as Yunyin, Yanyin...even many small ninja villages, are also good choices.」

  「Why take the risk and choose a ninja village with a bad reputation.」

  “Compared with ability and quality, reputation is sometimes more important, especially when making comparisons.”

  Oshemaru's complexion changed for a while, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

   No one has ever told him about these things, or someone has said them, but he forgot them in a flash. He has more important things and doesn't take them seriously.

  But he will listen to and think about what the lamp **** says.

  Thinking along this line of thought, it seems that the scruples of Xiaochun and Mitomen Yan are not unreasonable.

  For the sake of Konoha's reputation, it seems that sacrificing one day's difference is not unacceptable, and it is not forced by Hokage.

  Even if the so-called "life for life" is very damaging to the prestige of the village, they probably consider that the prestige is enough.

  Konoha will not be the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world because of the loss of an elite ninja.

   "It's... kind of bad."

  Oshemaru exhaled white gas, with a solemn expression on his face, but he understood the key to the problem.

Unlike him, Zhuanzhu Xiaochun and Mitomonyan considered the interests of the middle and lower ninjas in the village. They accounted for the largest proportion of Konoha's ninjas and digested most of the tasks, but they did not like the 'blue' Beasts' 'Konoha Sannin' such a resounding name.

  If the reputation of the village declines, they will be the most affected.

   Once the ecology of middle and lower ninjas getting paid is destroyed, in the long run, the high-level ninjas based on it will also collapse.

  Maybe not that serious, but like Sand Hidden Village, it will show signs of decline.

  In comparison, the benefits promised in the previous agreement are not worth mentioning.

   Jilai, who was waiting on the sidelines, saw Orochimaru speak, and his heart moved, "Do you have any good ideas?"

   Orochimaru shook his head, but looked at the lamp **** in the air, "I always feel that something is wrong, Konoha has so many powerful ninjas, how can he be so constrained?"

  Yes, constraints. The two elder advisors would rather lose the prestige of the village than preserve their reputation. It was the choice they made under the pressure of that invisible constraint.

   "Well, maybe this should be said to be the fault of the original Hokage?"

  Deng Shen rubbed his chin, raised his eyebrows slightly,

   "He created the 'ninja village' model, which gathered 99% of the ninjas in the country, which completely distinguishes ninjas from ordinary people."

  「But whether it is a ninja or an ordinary person, they all have to eat, and the former has a bigger appetite.」

  “Ninjas don’t do childbirth, but rely on ordinary people to live. They seem to be superior to others, but they can’t really enslave them, so it’s normal to be restricted under the surface.”

   Orochimaru played with the wine glass in his hand, silently digesting what the Genie said.

   After a while, he asked with his mind, "Then how to get rid of these constraints."

  Konoha's ninja group is his basic plate, and it is in his interest to let this piece of leek grow better and faster.

  Although he hasn't found a suitable harvesting method yet, he has a hunch that he will use these people soon.

  「Speaking of it, it’s actually quite simple.」

  Deng Shen smiled, "As long as those ordinary people are no longer the Land of Fire, but belong to the common people of Konoha."
