Chapter 189 The First Ten-Year Plan and the Second Ninja World War Operations Meeting
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and several figures walked in from outside.
Shennong, wearing a white robe, walked out of the air fortress and stepped onto the ground.
There were some tea fruit and a vase with paper flowers on the conference table. Judging from the chairs in front of the conference table, there should be only nine people in this meeting?
Realizing this, Shennong subconsciously looked at the guy next to him with his peripheral vision, the one who made him feel the most dangerous. He was a strange man wearing a high-collared black coat with gold thread embroidered on the collar.
Kakuzu, who had an expressionless face, also looked over, but in the face of Shennong's slightly scrutinizing eyes, he just nodded slightly and said hello, which surprised Shennong a little at his friendliness.
"Is this guy also a 'ghost'? Like me, he didn't become an 'upper string', but was responsible for an independent department?" Shennong frowned, but soon relaxed.
Because he thought of the identity represented by this outfit.
Minister of Finance?
Did Lord Yunchuan find such a strong guy to be the head of that makeshift team?
"I feel that this guy's emotions and desires are very weak." Shennong was calculating in his heart, "He should be a good person to talk to, right? In the future, I don't need to find Lord Yunchuan to approve notes, it will be much more convenient."
But Kakuzu's thoughts at the moment are not as "friendly" as Shennong guessed and looked.
Now, he has been more than a week away from officially becoming the Minister of Finance.
Although the "account book" of Dawn has filled up a room, for Kakuzu, who has now obtained the two hearts of Water and Wind and whose efficiency is directly comparable to that of three people, it only takes a little time to sort it out.
Now he can pat his chest and say that the income and expenditure of Dawn since its establishment are all under his control.
And in the process of sorting out the "account book", a name left a deep impression on Kakuzu.
"Is this guy the head of the biological research and development department who doesn't take money as money?"
Kakuzu glanced at Shennong, who was still immersed in the good life in the future, and thought: "I'm here, your good days are over."
Like Shennong and Kakuzu, the other people were also observing their "colleagues". After counting, they found that there were actually ten people.
This is, one more person?
"Grandpa Leyou is here, Nagato kid is here... Eh? Why are Xiaonan and Nonoyu sisters here too?"
Yahiko's eyes swept over those unfamiliar faces, but he was stunned when he saw two familiar figures in the distance, and then he winked at Xiaonan and Nonoyu, thinking that the two people might have gone to the wrong place.
But Nonoyu, who was smiling, ignored him. Only Xiaonan glanced at him and frowned, wondering why Yahiko was still stupid after so long.
What Yahiko didn't know was that others were also looking at him, and their thoughts were the same as his.
What's wrong with this kid? Why does he keep blinking? Did he go the wrong way?
But at this moment, a crisp clapping and a chuckle came into their ears.
"It seems that everyone is here."
Bang!
The moment the voice fell, the door of the conference room moved without wind and closed with a bang.
The inside and the outside world were isolated in the roar, and there was an illusion of being cut by a knife.
Several people looked up at the same time. The only light source in the conference room was swaying, that was the candlelight on the table.
Behind Yunchuan was a huge floor-to-ceiling window that replaced the entire wall. The dim moonlight was reflected on the dark and smooth table in the center of the conference room, and the candlelight subtly divided the dim darkness around Yunchuan.
It must be admitted that Yunchuan's smile, voice and tone have always been warm and polite.
Anyone who heard it would have a sense of intimacy, which would make people who met him for the first time feel that he was a noble son of a high class, but he could sympathize with the people and had no airs.
But Kakuzu and Shennong looked at the smile on the boy's face, and through the bright yellow candlelight they could smell the strong smell of blood under the smile.
For this kind of crazy and terrifying "thing", appearance and age are almost the most useless jokes.
"Sit down." Yunchuan raised his hand and pointed to the nine signs placed on the conference table, "Find your corresponding position, name and seat."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the conference room relaxed a little, and several people went to find their seats silently.
After a while, all eight seats were occupied, and only one seat was left.
"Huh?"
Yahiko stood there in a daze, looking left and right to make sure that his name and seat were not there.
"With your current level, you still want to come to the table to talk?"
Nagato spoke suddenly, sarcastically: "Don't you think about whether you deserve it."
Yahiko's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Yunchuan blankly, but saw that Konan was already standing behind Yunchuan, still looking at him with a speechless look.
"What are you standing there for?"
Seeing Yahiko's silly behavior, Kumokawa pointed behind him with empty eyes: "You and Konan stand behind me, you are just listening to this meeting."
Hearing this, Yahiko subconsciously turned his head to look at the pharmacist Nono who was sitting in a seat.
Noticing his gaze, Nono smiled gently and explained: "I am here to attend the meeting on behalf of my mother."
Yahiko then saw that the sign in front of her said "Medical Department, Director, Pharmacist", not "Pharmacist Nono".
In addition to her, others also have corresponding positions.
Currently, since there is no one to take the position of the head of the biological research and development department, Shennong, who is also the head of the Sky Corps and the head of the biological research and development department, and Nagato, who is currently the head of "Dawn" and the head of the ghost corps.
There is also Qiu Yu, who is now the head of the agricultural research and development department, Mei Yu, who is the head of the military intelligence department, and Kakuzu, who is the head of the finance department, and Leyou, who transferred from the Yangyan Village Research Institute to serve as the head of the weapons research and development department.
Yunchuan, Shennong, Kakuzu, Nagato, Mei Yu, Qiu Yu, Yakushi, Leyou...
These eight people occupy eight seats. From this point of view, Yahiko is really not qualified to speak at the table. The reason why he can stand and listen is because Yunchuan sees that he has performed well during this period.
Yahiko scratched his head, speechless for a moment, then pointed to the empty seat and asked in confusion: "Isn't there an empty seat there?"
"That is..."
Konan, who was standing behind Kumokawa, glanced down and was about to say something but was interrupted by a lazy voice:
"That's my seat, meow."
Looking in the direction of the voice, he found that it was the voice coming from Kumokawa's arms. Yahiko was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Kumokawa raised his hands under the table.
The next moment, Kumokawa pinched the armpits of a black cat's two front legs and lifted her up directly, and a cute cat face appeared in front of everyone.
The black cat opened its sleepy eyes, opened its mouth and yawned loudly.
"A cat?"
Yahiko looked at the sign on the seat that read "Administrative Department·Minister·Jiyun", and his eyes turned to look at the black cat with a look of astonishment: "Jiyun?"
As if it noticed his astonishment, the black cat glanced at him disdainfully and licked Kumokawa's hand with its tongue.
Cats have barbs on their tongues, and it itches when they lick their hands.
Yunchuan smiled nonchalantly, pinched the armpits of the black cat's two front legs and turned her around, then buried his face in her soft belly, and sniffed deep in the furry ocean.
I have to admit that cute things will always make most people like them, which is one of the few pleasures that Yunchuan has with "ordinary people".
And this is the first time that everyone has seen Yunchuan like this.
In their impression, although this Lord Yunchuan looks very gentle on the surface and smiles at everyone, everyone present understands that being gentle to everyone means having the same sense of distance from everyone, which is a manifestation of alienation.
It feels to them that he is not like a "human", but more like a "god", looking down on everyone from a high place.
And now, facing a cat, he shows a rare closeness.
Everyone doesn't know whether this behavior is deliberately shown by Lord Yunchuan, but at least they understand that the black cat obviously represents the will of Lord Yunchuan to a certain extent.
Yahiko, who was a big man, was not surprised, and did not think too much. After all, he felt that his boss had always been quite gentle, so this behavior was not too surprising.
On the contrary, looking at the cute kitten licking her palm and cooperating with being "sucked", Yahiko really couldn't reconcile her with the cold girl who was picked up by the boss with him before.
In fact, since Jiyun became a cat, although he got the cat's concealment, agility, night vision and the ability to control the air with "substitute cat grass", he also inherited the habits of cats.
For example, sleepiness, nocturnal, food protection, like to hunt, like cleanliness, like to protect food, like to act like a spoiled child, and have a sense of territory...
At first, I was not used to this cat form, but later I was always held in Yunchuan's arms and rubbed, and gradually felt that being a cat... seemed not bad?
Since I can't resist, I can only enjoy it.
"Jiyun, now serves as my assistant and is also the director of the administrative department."
Yunchuan raised one of Jiyun's paws and shook it, as if waving to the stunned people in front of him, and smiled helplessly: "The position was originally prepared for her, but she likes to stay in my arms, so the position will be vacant for now."
Sure enough.
Hearing Yunchuan's words, everyone present confirmed their guesses.
The director of the administrative department, plus the special identity of "assistant", as well as Yunchuan's performance and attitude, are enough to show his importance to this "black cat".
If he is not there, the black cat can represent him and give orders as his mouth.
Hearing this, Yahiko came back to his senses and his teeth were almost broken.
Damn! People are not as good as cats!
"So, Lord Yunchuan, what is the theme of this meeting?" Kakuzu leaned forward slightly to look at Yunchuan at the end of the conference table.
Hearing Kakuzu mention the business, the others also looked at Yunchuan.
No one cared whether Yahiko had a seat or not. Everyone present thought that their time was precious, so there was no reason to waste precious time on such meaningless topics.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's rare that so many people came."
They were in a hurry to leave, but Yunchuan was not. He pointed to the fruit in front of them and smiled: "The civilians nearby gave it to us. Try it and see how it tastes."
Hearing this, Yahiko, who was already standing behind him, couldn't help but change his face slightly, and said distressedly: "Boss, what kind of fruit do you want to eat? Why did you accept the fruit that the civilians planted with great difficulty?"
Ever since he came back from the Mountain Country and Yangyan Village, he took the initiative to volunteer to deliver the pensions of those sacrificed "ghosts" to their families before his ear injury healed.
And this delivery, he also saw a lot of "low-level life" that he had only heard of but never seen before.
The farther he walked and the more he saw, the more anger accumulated in his heart, and the more he understood what kind of hell the life of the common people at the bottom of the Country of Rain was.
The lives of nobles, ninjas and civilians are completely divided into three distinct levels. If he hadn't come out for such a trip, Yahiko, who was used to living a good life, would have almost forgotten the hard days.
For the first time, he knew how important Uncle Qiu Yu's work was, and how wise his boss's decision to establish the "Agricultural Research and Development Department" was.
Killing the enemy can save ten people, hundreds of thousands of people, but it cannot save ten thousand people, hundreds of thousands, and thousands of people.
Yahiko and Qiuyu met because after this experience, they wanted to learn more farming knowledge during their spare time from training.
Yunchuan didn't say that he was not doing his job properly. Instead, he asked him to go to the greenhouse to find Qiu Yu, and then he started to help run errands.
During this period of time, he traveled almost all over the Country of Rain, looking for people who Qiu Yu didn't know, people who were willing to come, and people who were not, as long as they were good at farming.
With his natural affinity, communication is effortless, he gets to know more and more people, and he has a thorough understanding of the surrounding environment.
His mastery and understanding of the Breath of the Sun not only did not fall, but instead became deeper and deeper in the process.
Therefore, Yahiko didn't understand why he accepted the fruits from the hands of the common people when he could easily buy them, and it was in a big basket.
"autumn rain."
Yunchuan didn't answer him. He casually broke open a piece of fruit and handed it to Xiaonan. He said calmly without looking back: "Explain to this stupid boy. If it were you, would you accept it?"
Qiu Yu raised her head when her name was called, first looked at Yahiko who was looking over, then nodded and said with a serious expression: "Take it, of course, you must accept it."
"Before Yunchuan-sama came, and before we brought it under our jurisdiction, the surrounding civilians were starved of food and dressed in rags. But now at least they can be considered as having enough food to eat and clothe themselves. This is what they have done to us. Thanks, of course I will accept it.”
"If they don't accept it, they won't leave. If they don't accept it, they won't feel relieved. If they don't accept it, a group of people will kneel outside immediately, dragging their families with them. "
Hearing this, Kakuzu and Shennong's expressions became strange, and they frowned awkwardly.
This feeling of being grateful was something the two of them had never experienced before.
Although I feel this gratitude and kindness are inexplicable, I also feel an indescribable and indescribable feeling of satisfaction.
"But..." Yahiko was stunned and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a pain in his head and something fell. He subconsciously reached out to catch it, only to see a fruit in his hand.
"Idiot, you can eat as you are told. How come there is so much nonsense." Nagato frowned and took back his hand, then looked at Yun Chuan, who had a normal expression, and said respectfully, "Brother, please continue talking, don't worry about that idiot."
Yun Chuan smiled and shook his head, glancing at Jiaodu and Shen Nong. Their expressions were a little more relaxed, and they obviously had a sense of belonging.
"This meeting is mainly for you to get familiar with each other and adjust our current strategic goals and deployment."
Yunchuan put the lazy Jiyun on his lap, cleared his throat and smiled in a calm and indifferent tone: "You can call this meeting the first ten-year plan and the second forbearance World War Operations Conference."
"In other words, we are now switching between offense and defense."
