Chapter 37 Two Methods

"On the contrary, I want your position as the leader of Akatsuki, but you won't be qualified to lead Akatsuki at that time!"

Faced with the bet proposed by Bai Ye, Yahiko did not immediately agree, but began to think calmly.

Based on his understanding of Bai Ye, Bai Ye is an extremely cautious person, and it is impossible for him to make such a bet without absolute certainty.

But Hanzo Salamander is a hero of the Rain Country. He led the Rain Country to resist the invasion of other major powers in the last war.

This war was only because of the existence of Hanzo Salamander to avoid the war from burning into the territory of the Rain Country. Such a hero has no reason and no need to attack Akatsuki.

But what if? What if Hanzo Salamander really attacked Akatsuki?

Yahiko didn't dare to imagine it, and didn't know what would happen at that time.

But one thing can be confirmed, that at that time he really didn't have the qualifications to be the leader of Akatsuki, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a sinner of Akatsuki.

After hesitating for a while, Yahiko nodded and joined the bet: "Bai Ye, I agree to your bet. If Lord Hanzo really attacks Akatsuki, the position of leader will definitely be yours."

"Very good, the bet is established!"

Bai Ye also nodded with satisfaction and made a bet with Yahiko.

He just wanted to make a bet with Yahiko, so that when Hanzo attacks Akatsuki in the future, he can give Yahiko a good slap in the face. He is not really interested in the position of leader of Akatsuki.

As for whether Hanzo will attack Akatsuki?

Even if Hanzo does not attack Akatsuki within three years, Akatsuki should launch an attack on Yuyin Village, and the reason is very simple.

The Rain Country is too small, and the narrow area of ​​the country is not enough to accommodate two ninja organizations.

No matter what happens, the new Akatsuki will sooner or later face Yuyin Village. The two sides can only annex each other and cannot coexist peacefully.

After the episode about the bet, Bai Ye brought up the main business: "By the way, how is the contribution system going recently?"

The bet was just a product of a whim. He did not forget the real purpose of looking for Yahiko, which was to understand the current situation of the Akatsuki organization so as to formulate plans for the next stage.

Yahiko thought for a while and then said: "The contribution system is currently running well. Everyone is generally satisfied, but there are still some unsatisfactory aspects."

"For example, the contribution of tasks carried out outside can be easily calculated, but it is difficult to measure the value of ninjas who stay at the base. Although everyone has no opinions on the surface, there are already complaints in private."

"This is not a problem of scarcity but inequality..." Bai Ye commented.

"What do you mean?" Yahiko fell into a knowledge blind spot and was a little confused.

"It means that we can accept nothing, but we can't accept unfairness. Before the contribution system came out, everyone was selfless and used to a life of giving without reward."

"But now that the contribution system has come out, everyone can't accept unfair things happening."

After listening to Bai Ye's explanation, Yahiko nodded and said, "As expected of Bai Ye, you pointed out the problem of the contribution system. What solutions do you have?"

Bai Ye asked back, "Two ways, do you want to temporarily alleviate it, or completely eradicate it?"

When Yahiko heard the choice from Bai Ye's mouth, he had a bad feeling, but still said, "Tell me both ways, I'll see which one is better."

"If it's completely eradicated, just disband the Akatsuki organization. There's no need to distribute it if there's no organization."

Bai Ye glanced at Yahiko, and in the other's speechless eyes, he said the second way: "The second way is to constantly adjust the existing system based on feedback and find a solution that most people can accept."

"This is a good way..." Yahiko nodded lightly.

Looking at Yahiko's enthusiasm, Bai Ye coldly poured cold water on him:

"I know you will choose the second one, but the reality is that the first one is very likely. The organization's finances will soon have a gap, and then they won't worry about the distribution problem because there will be nothing."

"Financial crisis again? Obviously, the account book is still very ample."

Yahiko's eyes widened. Bai Ye seemed to have given a solution just now, but it seemed that the organization was facing a financial crisis again, and the current financial situation was still very good.

Bai Ye pointed to his throat, and Yahiko hurriedly poured a cup of tea.

After moistening his throat, Bai Ye said:

"Do you remember that my organization is about to fall into crisis? The crisis does not only come from ninjas, but also from financial crisis. Konoha and Iwagakure are not fighting on a large scale. Who will Konan sell the detonating tags produced to?"

"Don't forget that the detonating tags are now sold at high prices to barely support the financial consumption."

"Once the price returns to normal, the organization should either stop recruiting people or do less to win people's hearts. Don't just live a comfortable life for a few days and then return to a hard life."

Yahiko was silent. Bai Ye was talking about the current situation of Akatsuki.

At present, Akatsuki only has two means of making money, namely, tasks and selling detonating tags. The income from the former can be ignored.

In this case, once the price of detonating tags drops, it will be a financial crisis in minutes.

To solve this problem, the only way is to start a war again, but this is not in line with the purpose of Akatsuki.

But if Akatsuki stops recruiting people, it will stop developing and will not be able to bring peace to more ordinary people. It is almost trapped in a vicious circle.

Looking at Yahiko's sad face, Bai Ye was in a much better mood.

Although the ninja world is a world where force is supreme, before having super shadow or even six-path-level strength, the rules are not much different from those in the previous life.

The war between ninja villages is a competition of strategy and tactics from the beginning.

Once it reaches the tug-of-war period, the competition is whether the financial resources of the country behind the ninja village are strong.

This is also the reason why Konoha did not get any benefits every time the Ninja World War, but always recovered quickly, because the Fire Country behind Konoha is the richest country.

The small ninja villages outside the five major ninja villages are completely different.

For example, the Rain Country, although fortunately there was a strong man like Hanzo, but because of the lack of national foundation, even if it achieved temporary achievements, it could not continue.

In the end, it was beaten back to its original form and was forced to implement a closed-door strategy.

The reason why the Akatsuki organization during Yahiko's period did not encounter this problem was because the organization was too small.

Once there is the scale of a ninja village, even if it is only a small ninja village with a few hundred people, it has to consider financial issues, otherwise the Akatsuki organization during Nagato and Konan's period would not be keen on accepting bounty missions to prepare war funds.

However, the Akatsuki organization at that time had long abandoned Yahiko's ideas and turned completely evil.

Yahiko pondered for a while and looked at Bai Ye again.

Bai Ye, who had been prepared for a long time, slowly stretched out two fingers and said the solution: "There are two ways. One is to secretly provoke a war, which you will definitely not agree to."

"The second is to take advantage of the money now to acquire some profitable industries and develop new products. In the future, the operation of the organization will be maintained by the industry, and there is no need to rely on selling detonating tags to make a living. I think you will choose this."
