Employment by Country

Kakashi seems to have gone bad.

It's not good to learn from anyone, why do you want to learn from DuPont.

T/N: DuPont de Nemours Inc., or DuPont for short, is an American multinational chemical company

But... all good things, all good things.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Makoto finally started to work.

But the first thing he did was not to go to the Land of Rice to investigate, relying on the force of ninjas to forcibly plunder the best land... Although the soil in the Land of Rice is really rich, so rich that it's DNA will rebel...Even if he is kicked to the moon, he still wants to farm...

The first thing Makoto did was to invite the industrial representatives from the Land of Fire to drink tea, and the diplomats from the other Four Great Hidden Villages accompanied him throughout the process.

It has to be said that the current representative of the Land of Fire Industrial Faction is indeed a big shot.

He alone may not represent anything, but behind him is the entire industrial system of the Land of Fire.

– As Makoto guessed, with the end of the war, the lives of the common people became a little better, and the factory owners other than the military industry immediately became lively. Because of the huge population and market support, the power of the industrial faction in the Land of Fire keeps rising.

Today's industrial faction has concentrated a large amount of capital and technology, and it is already a giant in the Land of fire.

The relationship between the industrial faction and Konoha as a whole is average, so it's really not good to call people over directly.

Fortunately, the Military Engineering Department is considered to be an important existence in the industrial school, and as we all know, the relationship between the Military Engineering Department and Konoha are good as born from the same mother.

So the industrial school went to see what Makoto wanted to do.

– The industrialists are very upset about having big names and aristocrats on their heads. They instinctively feel that many of these guys are in their current positions because of their blood. They simply don't have the ability to continue the rapid growth of capital.

The tobacco incident is the best example.

But for some reasons that everyone knows well and can't explain, even the industrialists can only hold back for the time being.

So... they are natural allies.

Makoto explained his plan in detail to the representatives of the industrial faction.

"Well, do you want us to invest in the Land of Rice... It's not impossible. Although it is not our field of expertise, the land there is indeed fertile. If it is managed well, there should be a lot of benefits... But the infrastructure there is really bad. I may not be able to convince my friends to invest there together."

"Yes, sir, the infrastructure of Land of Rice is indeed poor – but we should know that when a salesman comes to a backward land. A good salesman will tell his boss that he has found a place where everyone A huge market with no shoes on. And the hot chicken salesman will tell his boss that everyone in his area is shoeless, and I'm afraid they won't be able to sell a pair of shoes."

Makoto smiled and unfolded the price chart for him.

"I think the industrial needs of a whole country will satisfy you and all your friends quite well. –

"Of course, what we want is actually your skin, and you also need to cover it up for us...for some reason you know."

The representative of the industrial faction laughed.

"Godaime Hokage, I really like the way you speak, you make me feel like a practical person. At least it's better than...you know what I mean. –

"But that alone is not enough."

Makoto nodded and took out a draft contract.

"This is the latest technology of Konoha's Arasaka Company, the floating fortress. It can transport at least hundreds of thousands of tons of materials at a time. I don't know if adding this, are you interested?"

This floating fortress is Sora's old base.

Many years ago, Soragakure's base was shot down by Konoha.

Sora has worked hard for many years to let their base go up again, which naturally became their obsession.

After a long period of construction and transformation, Sora's Base actually has the power to lift off again – but it needs to cooperate with Reibi.

Reibi is the core of all key technologies of Soragakure.

If Sora is allowed to develop for more than ten years, it may be another serious problem.

It's a pity that they were too unlucky, they were targeted by Makoto before they left the house, and they exploded directly.

This highly completed Sora base naturally made Konoha cheaper.

Makoto didn't take this thing out before, purely because Reibi hadn't been revived again.

Until now, Reibi was resurrected again and was sealed in the Sora base, Makoto took it out as the second profit item of Arasaka Technology – the first profit item is the price map.

Only the dead knows what the system thinks, thinking that Arasaka is the strongest company in the world. But since it has said so, Makoto will naturally work hard in this regard.

At the beginning, Makoto wanted to use it to trade goods between the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire.

The Land of Grass provides bananas, while the Land of Fire provides a variety of primary industrial products, and both sides enjoy it together.

But now that the situation has changed, Makoto doesn't mind changing it first.

– The second floating fortress is already under construction, and the situation on Kusagakure's side is not particularly urgent, so we can bear it for a while.

The representatives of the industrial faction flipped through the data of the floating fortress for a while, their eyes became brighter and brighter.

Those who play industry naturally know the importance of the transportation industry.

However, the Land of Fire is too vast and the environment is too good, the transportation environment is actually quite tragic.

But with the floating fortress, everything is not a problem.

No matter how bad your road conditions are, I will fly over directly.

Moreover, the floating fortress neither refuels nor refuels, and only consumes one death row prisoner for an average of thousands of kilometers, which is really extremely cheap.

– This is the case when Makoto is being a human and is willing to give them relief.

If he didn't want to be a human being...

The only thing to worry about is that in order to guard against possible Reibi runaways – it is possible, not inevitable, this is a necessary caution. Every time the floating fortress travels, you must bring a few Jounin... For an industrial party of this size, this consumption is almost nothing.

"Honestly, I'm very interested in this thing, can I order some first?"

"In this case, there are some practical difficulties..."

"Then how can we overcome these difficulties?"

"It depends on how much you're actually willing to add."

Makoto and the industrial representative looked at each other and laughed.

In fact, there are trains in the world of Naruto, but the terrain of the world of Naruto, the construction of railways is too expensive, and it is too easy to die... There is no such problem with flying.

For industrialists, the floating fortress is extremely practical.

Of course, the representative of the industrial faction heard Makoto's meaning of borrowing the chicken to lay the egg –even with Konoha's financial resources, it is impossible to complete the construction of the second floating fortress in a short period of time.

That would cost too much money.

The first ship is actually considered a complete body, it can be used with a little modification, and the second ship...

But now that everyone benefits from each other, don't worry about it so much.

Scientific ninja tools must be the mainstream of the future Naruto world, and now Makoto has completed his first step of integration.

With the floating fortress, the subsequent negotiations went much smoother.

Then the two parties work together to calculate an accurate shareholding ratio based on the investment ratio and joint efforts in production, construction, and sales, and make money together.

The industrialists really don't like to go to foreign countries to farm.

But if this foreign country owns an entire wild market, that's another story.

It is perfectly acceptable for businessmen to make more money with a little more trouble.

Moreover, the land that Konoha wants is not much in their eyes – however, the actual amount of land Konoha owns is far beyond the imagination of the industrialists.

Because Konoha is already planning to use the method of sealing memory to let some businessmen of Konoha faction hide their identities, and also go to Land of Rice to buy land.

The same is true for the Four Great Hidden Villages.

Given the current situation in the Land of Rice, the five major countries will absolutely not allow one to dominate. And the ninjas want to skip the blockade of the five major countries through ninjutsu.

These businessmen dressed as ninjas usually don't show off, and doesn't seem to be a big deal in front of the five major countries that occupy the majority, but when they attack together... At that time, the five major countries will know who really has the final say in Land of Rice.

For this reason, Makoto even established a Konoha Grain Company.

In order to bypass the five major powers, Makoto built an extremely complicated business structure in an extremely complicated way similar to Samsung.

There are countless large and small companies among them – every one of them is a member of Konoha. The respective equity sets equity, and the layer-by-layer structure is constantly stacked.

If this model succeeds in the end, then Konoha can use 2% of the equity to obtain the leadership of the entire company, thereby dominating the entire Land of Rice.

After seeing Makoto proposal, the industrial faction expressed their approval for Makoto meticulousness – who told him to copy homework. However, industry representatives still said that this system is too troublesome.

It was so troublesome that even he couldn't stand it.

But Makoto insisted on it all the time, and was not willing to compromise at all.

Negotiations were at an impasse.

However, considering that it was indeed profitable, the representatives of the industrial faction finally endured it.

For him, the most important thing now is not Land of Rice, but to obtain transportation capacity.

As the industrial system of the Land of Fire continues to burst into production capacity, a huge gap has begun to appear in the original capacity.

He couldn't even wait for the future, so he had to borrow Makoto's floating fortress now.

Makoto naturally agreed.

After sending off the representatives of the industrial faction with a happy face, Makoto discussed with the representatives of the Four Great Hidden Villages for a while, and asked them to copy Konoha's homework – otherwise, why did Makoto insist on letting diplomats like them who are not good at business join in.

Because of the influence of traditional thinking in the ninja world, every representative of ninja village is actually a powerful figure in the village.

Makoto hoped that through precepts and deeds, they would be abducted to the reformists little by little.

It is difficult to study a new thing by yourself, but if you copy homework...

Pakura: "I understand everything else, but one thing...why do you have to be an industrial faction? Since it's farming, wouldn't it be enough to find those who are the best at farming?"

"Because the industrial faction is the mainstream of the future. We have to end the backward way of digging food from the ground in the Warring States Period. The mainstream direction of ninjas in the future is to be scholars, and to turn ninjutsu into productivity. And industry is our final direction of development."

Having said that, Makoto sighed, and revealed his feelings to the four diplomats.

"And... I charged three or five buckets more... –

"The cheap grain hurts the peasants, and the expensive rice hurts the citizens. It is really difficult to grasp the balance... As ninjas, we can't do much now. But the industrialists and those big landlords are not completely on the same side... Can help A little bit is a little bit."

So far, no one asked any more questions.

"Let's not talk about that."

"After you go back, you should try to support your country as much as possible, no problem?"

"Ah, Pakura... I know the situation in the Land of Winds... Now, let me see if I can persuade those stubborn advisers in Konoha to lend you a little..."

Pakura nodded helplessly.

... ...

The natural conditions of the Land of Winds are really too bad, and the economy of Suna is severely trapped because of this, and it is really difficult to bring it up.

But help is still needed.

2V2 is always easier than 1V2.

And...it may become 1V3 in the future.

But the money can't just be given to them directly.

Money comes too easily, so you don't cherish it.

But he agreed to Pakura... With that, let a few elders of Konoha jump out and object.

Utatane Koharu is suitable.

If she disagrees, then she is the one who killed Danzo.

Anbu elites and the Military Police Force can both testify.

Anyway, they usually have nothing to do, and now they are loyal to Konoha.

With all these things in mind, Makoto rushed to the next place after seeing off the diplomats.

This time he was going to a secret room.

Some guests cannot be exposed to others.

Not long after, Makoto came to a tea room that was protected layer by layer.

He walked into the tea room and found that there were several old people drinking tea leisurely under the auspices of the old man.

The old men in front of him were originally powerful and powerful under the daimyo's command, the kind who had both face and liking.

But now that the daimyo's salary reduction strategy is implemented... I have to say that the daimyo of the Land of Fire is still a bit cunning, and the national treasury of the Land of Fire will directly benefit from it, but these lords don't look too good.

It is true that their income is high, but their expenses are also high.

The daimyo cut it down regardless, and they were approaching the end of their political careers, so they were naturally extremely uncomfortable.

But traditionally, it is not easy for them to oppose the daimyo, let alone the daimyo's order this time is reasonable and well received by the people.

So...

This is the best chance to invite them to become Konoha special advisors.

After realizing this, he went to the old middleman and asked him to help him become a middleman.

That's why we had this meeting.

– In human terms, it is a revolving door.

As the de facto prime minister, Roju's face is very valuable. Whether he will help ordinary people is really hard to say.

But after what happened last time, Roju is very optimistic about Makoto. Apart from the habitual nagging, hoping that he would formally enter the political arena of the Land of Fire, he organized this round as quickly as possible.

"Makoto is still young and has little experience, yet he has taken on such a big burden. It's really... Hey, as seniors, we should help a lot."

Everyone smiled and nodded.

After a simple exchange of pleasantries, it's time to get down to business.

Makoto: "Kakashi."

Kakashi walked to the door of the secret room, and carefully observed the surroundings – surrounded by Anbu, there was nothing else possible.

Then Kakashi went back to the office.

The Roju glanced at Makoto.

Makoto apologized with a smile.

"Sorry, it's too young after all."

"It doesn't matter."

So Makoto continued to look at Kakashi.

"Kakashi, you go out first."

"Ah, this..." Kakashi pointed at himself, only then did he realize that what Makoto wanted to talk about was really an extremely important matter.

Even he can't stand on the side and listen.

To be honest, he was a little curious.

But he chose to carry out the order anyway.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

... ...

Negotiation is really a troublesome thing, especially with a group of ghost hunters who will never be satisfied.

But the hard work still requires hard work, Makoto still negotiated all the densely packed contracts.

The Four Great Hidden Villages are also quite powerful, and each has achieved results.

In this way, if the five major countries work together, it will not be obvious that the Five Great Hidden Villages will be mixed in.

In the eyes of the daimyo, they just want to fish in troubled waters and take a bite of fat meat like Land of Rice... This is not too outrageous.

But in fact, the Five Great Hidden Villages have economically controlled the Land of Rice through extremely complicated methods.

It's just that this kind of control is too complicated. If you encounter military-level interference... Ah, they are the military, so it's fine.

After finishing these troublesome things, Makoto kept a copy of the pile of contracts, and then sent the original to Aunt Snake.

And brought a short letter.

"From then on, the Land of Rice will be handed over to you. –

"You'd better build a hidden village by yourself, so that you can better manage Land of Rice. Of course, if you want to be lazy, that's okay... I will help you solve it. –

"All in all, good morning, lord of the country-sama."

... ...

Aunt Snake received the letter from the Godaime Hokage in the morning.

After reading the letter, Aunt Snake stayed dazed for a long time.

For a research madman like Aunt Snake, the most important things in the world are indeed immortality and experiments. But the sudden acquisition of the status of a lord of a country still made her a little... not sure what to say.

For Hokage, the Lord of a country is already the top title that can be obtained in the world.

The so-called daimyo is actually the lord of the country.

Naturally, the ruler of a small country cannot be compared with the ruler of a big country, but when she really received this gift from Makoto, even Aunt Snake was taken aback.

It's really too heavy.

"Which princess can hold such a heavy gift thrown out at every turn? If the princesses of those small countries find out, they won't collectively scream and pin him to the ground... –

"Well, no, let me see how this guy did it..."

Aunt Snake flipped through the pile of documents, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

"It turns out that's the case... But if the economic rule of Land of Rice is completed, then there is nothing wrong with being the ruler of the country. –

"As long as I have the heart, if I find a family of daimyo to marry, it's only a matter of time before I get the title of real king... –

"But... –

"There's really no way to deal with him."

Aunt Snake smiled in satisfaction, her golden snake eyes narrowed slightly, like a snake that has been fed up.

"Kabuto, help me write a letter to that Pain, saying that I agreed to join Akatsuki... By the way, write down a few requests, don't agree too easily, and show me after you finish writing."

"–Yes, Orochimaru-sama!"

... ...

Soon, Pain and Konan received a reply from Orochimaru.

"My plan was not wrong. Orochimaru really agreed... Huh, he dared to add conditions... But if you don't even add conditions and just join us, this is not the style of rouge ninja. –

"These guys will definitely cheat a little bit..."

Pain is angry at Orochimaru's greed, but at the same time, he doesn't doubt it.

For Pain, as long as Orochimaru is willing to join, it will be fine.

Things like money and supplies, after reaching his level, as long as he wants, he can have as much as he wants.

It's just that Konan is still worried.

"Having said that...but I always feel...a bit strange... Am I being overwhelmed?"

... ...

At the same time, in Mizukage's office.

A man wearing a whirlpool mask and a black-and-white man were staring at the half-meter-thick document.

"Do you understand?"

"Can't understand."

"Didn't Madara-sama teach you this?"

"Madara-sama himself is a dropout from elementary school... Which of his group of ninjas went to a serious university?"

The two of them sighed at the same time.

"The Hidden Village in the past was not like this..."

"Forget it, just write it all down and read it first."

... ...

The Land of Iron took in a young apprentice named Hanayama.
