Chapter 884 Sir, It’s Time to Eat Shit
Because of Kabuto Yakushi's operation, the tone of this meeting went in a strange direction from the beginning.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others originally thought that the other party came to discuss a deal, but they didn't expect that the other party came to discuss cooperation.
In his words, Kabuto Yakushi mentioned a certain word many times - liberating productivity.
In their cognition, the role of ninja is just a pure combat unit. The more ninjas a country has, the stronger the country is. The important factor used to measure the combat power of a village is the number of jonins in the village.
As for the others, the chunin is better, but the genin is purely consumables and cannon fodder on the battlefield. This concept has been deeply rooted for a long time and has basically become a common sense in the ninja world.
But on Kabuto Yakushi's side, their inherent concept has been strongly impacted. In the eyes of the other party, the genin is the most important wealth in a village, not consumables.
At this meeting, a concept about "life ninja" was formally proposed. Unlike ordinary ninjas who practiced combat-related ninjutsu, this type of ninja practiced some strange and daily-related ninjutsu.
This kind of life ninjutsu has little combat power, but it can play an unexpected role in some aspects. According to their basic functions and mastered ninjutsu, this type of life ninjutsu is further divided into civil engineering ninjutsu, agricultural ninjutsu, garden ninjutsu, etc.
In order to show sincerity, the country of whirlpools also brought a batch of basic life ninjutsu scrolls on this trip, which was provided free of charge.
To be honest, facing the series of plans proposed by the country of whirlpools, including Sarutobi Hiruzen, all the participants were quite confused. After all, judging from these plan proposals, once these treaties were signed, they, the country of fire, would simply take advantage of the world.
"So, what do we have to pay?"
Unlike others, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still very calm. He looked up at the pharmacist in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. He doesn't think the other party will be so kind to invest in a series of construction projects in their Land of Fire.
"It's very simple, as long as you agree to this plan."
As if he had expected this, like a magic trick, Kabuto Yakushi took out another document.
Unlike the previous document, this document describes a plan called [Ninja Road].
—— In simple terms, it is a road construction plan.
Pan Entertainment Company plans to connect various parts of the Ninja World with roads within five to ten years, and lay a luxurious road network that runs through the Ninja World, including highways and railways. Once this transportation network is built, it will not only greatly facilitate travel, but also bring countless benefits to various countries.
"Impossible!!"
Before the frowning Sarutobi Hiruzen finished reading the plan in front of him, Mito Kado En shouted angrily.
"We in Konoha will never agree to such an absurd plan."
...Build a transportation network that runs through the Ninja World?
Although this kind of words sound good on the surface, it is also a huge threat to their own territory. In order to prevent invasion from other countries, each country has corresponding natural barriers, and those complex and dangerous roads and environments are a natural barrier for the village.
But according to the other party, all these things must be cleared. How can they accept this?
Moreover, the construction of such roads, in addition to benefiting ordinary people, is of no use to ninjas. Which ninja goes out slowly in a carriage? Don't they all rush through the woods?
"So, you can't keep up with the times."
With a sigh, Kabuto Yakushi took out several documents from under the table again.
"Your thoughts are still stuck in the old times, and your vision is too backward. In a world where supernatural powers belong to oneself, although technological power will lag behind, it does not mean that they will not exist. These documents record the latest research results of our Whirlpool Country. You can circulate them to each other. By the way, in three months, our company will launch an epoch-making product that will completely rewrite people's travel methods."
"………"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned unconsciously and reached out to take the documents.
The document was in the form of pictures and texts. As soon as he opened it, the first thing that caught his eye was a steel behemoth.
"First modified II type railway locomotive, one-time load capacity of 100 tons, maximum operating speed on flat roads 50 kilometers per hour...?"
Looking at the data in front of him, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed a little confused for a while.
He recognized all the words above, but after combining them together, he found that he couldn't understand them at all... Such a strange thing can drag hundreds of tons of cargo?
"Do you understand? The times have changed. After being suppressed by the extraordinary power of individuals for so long, the power of science has finally sprouted. It will be a brand new era."
Looking at the people in front of him, Kabuto Yakushi's eyes were burning.
"And the name of this era is called the Industrial Revolution."
A correct version can be found in 16191 book and 1 forum!
"Industrial Revolution... What if we still don't agree to build the road?"
Unconsciously frowning, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at Kabuto Yakushi in front of him.
"This is the world of ninjas. Your things are meaningless. You spend so much money and resources just for those ordinary people. You..."
"Don't forget that you also come from ordinary people."
Shaking his head slightly, Kabuto Yakushi interrupted the other party.
"It doesn't matter if they don't agree. Some small countries have agreed. The corresponding road and wire network are currently in the early preparation for construction. If you want to be rich, build roads first. When those small countries become richer than you, you will think about building roads on your own initiative."
"Really? But don't forget that this is a world where the strong are respected."
With a sinister tone, Shimura Danzo interrupted him.
"No matter how rich and prosperous that country is, if they don't have enough power to protect these things, they will end up with a tragic end."
"Maybe, but compared to before, it will always be a little different."
With a nonchalant smile, Kabuto Yakushi stood up from his seat.
"Let's stop here for today. You can discuss the proposals and think about what I said."
"Times have changed a long time ago."
