Chapter 639 New Century
Time flies, time flies.
Konoha's 59th year was the year of greatest change in the short history of Konoha Village. The entire village became a large construction site. Construction vehicles kept coming and going on the newly built asphalt road, and the noise from the construction never stopped.
In the village, modern reinforced concrete buildings are rising from the ground, and outside the village, factories are being completed and put into operation one after another.
Modern factories require a large number of industrial workers, and merchants need to sell products to all parts of the shinobi world. For a time, there was a labor shortage and a wave of immigrants in Konoha Village.
After World War III, the ninja world has not recovered its vitality. There are still occasional frictions between many small countries. Bandits are rampant in the local area. The lives of ordinary people are quite difficult. With the heavy investment of the Dragon Kingdom, Konoha Village has become a poor and chaotic ninja. A unique paradise in the world.
Luo Feng does not pursue profits. If he wanted to make money, he could build an intelligent robot factory to greatly reduce costs. However, Luo Feng did not do this. The factory hired a large number of workers.
Refugees who lost their homes due to the war came to Konoha Village and entered the factory jointly owned by Dragon Kingdom and Konoha. They can get a good salary. If they have business talent, they can also join a club and sell the products produced by the factory. Even if you don't have any talents, just moving bricks on the construction site is enough for you to have enough food and clothing.
Konoha ranks high in terms of strength among the five major ninja villages. People generally believe that Konoha ninjas can ensure their safety and the public security situation is guaranteed.
Economic development has triggered an immigration effect. Many poor and destitute people from the ninja world have come to Konoha Village to seek life. This has triggered a wave of immigration.
However, in the world of Naruto, the decadent feudal forces are still very powerful, and the people are treated as private property by the lords of the Ninja Country. They would rather starve to death in their own country than watch them flee to other countries. The large-scale population between Ninja Country and Ninja Country Movement is prohibited.
In order to live a better life, people risk their lives and risk their lives to cross the border illegally even if their country does not provide legal immigration channels.
For this reason, Konoha Village has been under great political pressure. Daimyos from various countries have put pressure on the Fire Nation, demanding that the Fire Nation strengthen border controls and restrict the entry of people from other countries. It is best to build border barriers to completely cut off immigration. Otherwise, they will threaten to form a joint ninja army to launch an armed intervention against the Land of Fire.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire made stern representations to Konoha Village, demanding that Konoha strengthen border patrols, arrest, and even execute smugglers from other countries on the spot.
The top management of Konoha Village is also extremely distressed. From the perspective of the interests of Konoha Village, at this time point, the advantages of accepting a large number of foreign immigrants definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
Just like the Eagle Country in another time and space, the first stage of economic development after World War II largely relied on the boost of the immigrant economy.
Today's Konoha requires a large number of talents and labor. If only the villagers in this village have children, it will take many years to meet the population demand. Immigration is the simplest and most convenient way to solve the human resource gap.
Although the ninja world is divided into multiple countries, the language and culture are similar. Foreign immigrants can quickly integrate into Konoha without conflicts of faith, ethnicity, race, skin color, etc.
Years of war in the shinobi world and the feudal rule and oppression of various daimyo have also made the people of the country, especially ordinary people, have a very weak sense of belonging to the country and a weak sense of patriotism. People from other countries have completely become Konoha people after living peacefully in Konoha for a few years. , fell in love with Konoha Village and regarded Konoha as the motherland.
However, Konoha's military strength and geographical conditions are not as good as the Eagle Country in another time and space, and the political pressure and military threats from other countries cannot be ignored.
Konoha Village is located in the center of the ninja continent, with no ocean or natural barriers blocking it. Although the Konoha ninja army is slightly stronger than other ninja villages, it cannot defeat the entire ninja world. The Kingdom of Dragon has made it clear that it will not intervene in the civil war in the ninja world. Even if Ye is besieged, he will not send troops to help.
In this international situation, Konoha doesn't have much choice. Even if it knows that enacting restrictive immigration policies will slow down its development, it can only endure the pain.
Konoha has strengthened border patrols and immigration inspections in the Land of Fire, and has begun to capture and repatriate stowaways. However, this is only a formality. Although stowaways cannot obtain official resident status in Konoha Village, once they cross the border, they can hide in If illegal work was being done in the village, Konoha officials would just turn a blind eye.
Konoha Village's ban on smuggling is just a pretense at best, to appease the grievances of neighboring countries, but those immigrants who flow out of the country are really ruthless, punishing their own people's smuggling behavior extremely cruelly, and treating it as treason!
Small countries such as the Country of Fields, the Country of Taki, the Country of Frost, the Country of Grass, the Country of Rain, the Country of Sichuan, and the Country of Iron that border the Country of Fire not only authorize border patrol ninjas and samurai to directly kill stowaways , and also buried a large number of detonating symbols in the border areas.
People in the ninja world have been in war for a long time. Not to mention human rights, they don't value human life very much. Tragedies happen every day, and villages and tribes are massacred frequently.
The lives of civilians are even less valuable. People's deaths are in vain. Ninjas only charge money to do things and do not pay attention to chivalry. When encountering difficulties, you cannot expect ninjas to act for free.
Even Konoha ninjas with high integrity cannot show random kindness when operating in other countries. The way of the ninja is to put the mission first. If you give up the mission to save the people, no matter how many people you save or how much virtue you have accumulated, you still have to do it when you return to the village. Be severely punished.
This is the ninja world, a desperate world. The fate of ninjas is very miserable. Tragedies of friends and lovers dying tragically in front of them often happen. Even so, it is a hundred times better than civilians who have no power to save themselves and no superheroes to save them. .
The border road leading to the Land of Fire has become a "Road of Blood and Tears". The ninjas of Konoha Village can often see occasional explosions in the grasslands or jungles across the border. When they arrive at the scene, they can see the broken and charred bodies. The corpses of civilians, even some who survived the explosion but lost their parents, only knew young children who were crying blankly...
Konoha's 59th year was a year full of hope, but also a bloody and cruel year. Countless innocent ninja people died on the long border of the Land of Fire, and the number of civilian casualties even exceeded that during the war!
This scene was shown to Luo Feng through spy satellite photography.
Luo Feng has no intention of intervening. There has never been a savior. The problems of the ninja people can only be solved by the efforts of the ninja people themselves.
Compared to the cruel outside world, the children born in Konoha Village are much luckier. They have ninja talents, a stable growth environment, and a relatively comfortable life. They should work harder, establish the right ambition, and change everything as soon as possible!
How could Luo Feng tolerate some children who grew up in a good environment, had outstanding talents, and had good family backgrounds, but they were so blessed that they either thought about puppy love all day long, or were too lazy to do anything?
The face of the village is changing, the international situation of the ninja world is also changing, and the new generations of Konoha Village are also changing quietly.
Needless to say, Rock Lee, Tiantian and Hyuga Neji are all obedient and good children. They were tortured to death by the cruel teacher Metro, but they could only grit their teeth and persevere.
Naruto also deserves to be the protagonist of his son of the plane. Even though he was crazily brainwashed by Io, he was not brainwashed into a psychopath.
The biggest health damage caused by the brainwashing machine was that it made him nearsighted.
Every day he had to open his eyes forcibly and stare at the high-speed scrolling pictures for several hours. If his eyes were not blind, Naruto would have a superior physique and amazing resilience.
He wasn't blind, but his vision was seriously damaged and he had to wear glasses, which turned him into a small-eyed boy.
Shikamaru was a kid with lots of tricks and was the most resistant to being forced to practice. He tried his best to escape from the clutches of madman Aro. However, these powerless struggles only brought him greater pain.
He wanted to file a complaint, saying that Teacher Metro abused him before he died, but he came home every day without any injuries on his body, and there was no evidence at all.
Even if he gives himself some scars, his father is also a highly intelligent ninja, how can he not be able to tell the truth?
After this torture, his body became stronger and stronger, his figure showed muscular outline, and his skills became much more agile than before. This just proved that Teacher Metro was indeed a famous teacher and his training methods were extremely effective.
Of course the parents are happy when their child has achieved results. They don't care about Shikamaru's complaints. They just treat him as if he is suffering from laziness and cancer. The treatment plan is just to give him a beating.
Shikamaru weighed it for a long time, thinking that the beating his mother received was far less severe than the beatings of madman Aro, so why not go to the training ground instead of going to the training ground to fight to death?
Nara Yoshino was beaten softly, but he really couldn't do it cruelly, so he had to give up.
Shikamaru thought he could finally end his death training, but he underestimated the persistence of mental patients. Just that night, when Shikamaru turned off the lights and went to bed, there was an extra person in the room, with red eyes shining in the dark room. Staring at him scared him so much that he almost wet the bed.
With his extraordinary body skills, Master Metro sneaked into the Nara house without anyone noticing, kidnapped Shikamaru from the bed, took him to the training ground for electrotherapy, and cured him before dawn and sent him back. Home.
Before leaving, Madman Arrow showed his white teeth and said with a smile: "You think you can escape by skipping classes? My child, you are so naive! If you don't come to me, I will come to you. Do you choose to suffer during the day or at night? Do whatever you want!"
Shikamaru wanted to tell his father about his nightmare experience last night, but he didn't have any injuries on his body. Even if he told him, he would only be regarded as being confused and really having a nightmare.
Being entangled by a powerful and stubborn madman, Shikamaru felt deeply desperate. His whole body was not in good condition. Excessive oppression would cause mental illness. After being tortured for a period of time, Shikamaru became a little nervous. and symptoms of mild depression.
Luo Feng didn't want to play him to death. Out of concern for the life safety of the guinea pig and the need to replenish the carrots after the big stick was used, he was assigned a full-time fitness coach.
This transferred fitness instructor is a beautiful woman, not from Konoha Village, nor from the Kingdom of Dragons, but a young Oto Ninja from the Kingdom of Tian.
This young lady has now become a rebel ninja. According to her own words, life in the Sound Ninja Village is very difficult and the leader is very harsh. After President Bredreau hired her, he privately gave her a large bonus. This money It was enough for her to have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life, so she simply stayed in Konoha and refused to leave, becoming a rebel ninja and an illegal immigrant in Konoha.
Originally, the ninja villages would not accept each other's betrayal of the ninja, but Miss Oto-nin had President Bredlow as a guarantor, so the Konoha Village just let her go, neither absorbing her to become a Konoha ninja, nor Drive her away.
This young lady has a bad temper, she likes to hit people, and she doesn't look very smart.
However, under her supervision, Shikamaru's death training was less painful.
There are two reasons:
First of all, this young lady from Sound Ninja Village likes to sing, and she will occasionally sing when supervising his practice. Her singing voice is like the sound of nature and has a magical power to heal people's hearts.
Shikamaru was very smart and knew a little bit about everything, but he was least good at music. This young lady who could sing made him feel that he wasn't that great and didn't know everything.
Children with extremely high IQs are always a little arrogant, thinking that they are omnipotent, and thus look down on others. But once someone is far better than you in some aspect, you will care about that person and pay attention to that person.
Secondly, this Oto Ninja lady has a lot of material on her chest!
The combination of the two gave Shikamaru a different feeling. He only felt that this life of life and death every day, with such a young lady accompanying him, would not be so painful that he could not bear it.
As the days passed, changes continued to occur. Spring passed and autumn came, the winter snow melted, and Konoha Village entered a new century with ups and downs - Konoha's 1960s.
