Chapter 104 Ye Cang, you will regret it! Chiyo, I am the Kazekage!
In the ninja world, an explosive piece of news spread like wildfire and spread throughout the ninja world in a very short time!
"You guys heard that Konoha has developed a new type of rice. I think it's called hybrid rice?"
"Yes! I heard that the yield per mu has reached an astonishing 500 kilograms. What a terrifying increase! We don't have to worry about not having enough to eat anymore!"
"What else has Konoha come up with...?"
"The world is changing, it's really going to change!"
Those grain merchants who were invited by Konoha but ultimately chose not to go because of fear are now regretting their decision.
It was like seeing the key to a revolution slip away from my sight.
Fire Nation.
Daming Mansion.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Something terrible has happened!"
Several servants ran to the daimyo's mansion in a panic, with cold sweat on their foreheads.
"Why are you so panicked?"
The daimyo who was taking a rest was fanning himself with a folding fan, looking relaxed and enjoying himself.
"Damiyo, what kind of cooperation is Konoha going to have? Isn't it ridiculous to cooperate with merchants in production? The grain industry of the Land of Fire has always been under the control of you, Daimyo."
"Now Konoha wants to touch this part of the interests. Lord Daimyo, you can't just watch Konoha succeed!"
The reporting servant was in tears, wishing to portray Konoha as a bastard who did all kinds of evil.
Many nobles, as well as the grain merchants behind them, have expressed dissatisfaction with Konoha's actions.
The majority of the Fire Nation's grain industry is controlled by these nobles.
Now, Namikaze Mirai has intervened in the industry with hybrid rice, and you, a ninja village, are interfering in the food industry.
Is this going to be the opposite?
"Okay, I understand. I will discuss this matter with Konoha."
The daimyo fanned himself impatiently with the folding fan in his hand.
The expressions on the faces of the servants who were reporting froze.
"Master Daimyo, you must take this matter seriously!"
"I know. I told you I'll go find the Hokage!"
"But……"
"Are you the daimyo or am I the daimyo?"
Several servants shuddered and immediately retreated.
They walked outside Daming Mansion and whispered to each other.
"It seems that the Daimyo-sama is not very concerned about this matter?"
"Hush! He is a great name! We servants must not speak carelessly."
"Trust the Daimyo-sama!"
Inside the daimyo's mansion, a figure emerged from the shadows behind the daimyo who was fanning himself with a folding fan.
The three-magatama Sharingan in Kakashi's left eye was as red as blood, and he looked in the direction where the servants left.
His eyes are deep.
"Controlling the daimyo through illusion is not a long-term thing after all. We need to make plans in advance."
After becoming one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, Kakashi controlled the daimyo to eliminate dissidents and nipped many threats in the bud.
Even so, some of the daimyo's abnormal behavior still aroused some people's suspicion.
Kakashi didn't know how long this could last.
No, or rather, this is also included in the calculations of future adults, right?
Until the daimyo completely loses its function.
Perhaps, the entire Fire Nation will undergo earth-shaking changes.
……
“Hybrid rice??”
Sand Hidden Village.
In the Kazekage room, the Fifth Kazekage Yegura looked surprised after hearing the information from his subordinates.
"Yes! Lord Kazekage, it is said that grain merchants from the entire Land of Fire are now rushing to Konoha like crazy, wanting to be qualified to participate in this change."
"Not only the Fire Country, but also grain merchants from surrounding countries such as the River Country, Grass Country, and Stone Country have flocked there."
The reporting ANBU narrated.
Even he was surprised by Konoha's operation. It seemed to be the first time in history that a ninja village participated in agricultural production!
"Is that so? As expected of that man, it's amazing!"
A look of deep admiration appeared in Ye Cang's beautiful eyes.
Namikaze Mirai can always easily do things that others can't do!
The Anbu who reported had cold sweat on his forehead.
Lord Kazekage, please watch your words.
You are the Kazekage of our Sand Village, how can you describe the Hokage of Konoha in such a tone?
The two villages are obviously in a hostile relationship, right?
The Anbu could only complain in their hearts about such words.
Dare not say it out loud.
"If there is nothing else, Master Fengying, I will leave first!"
I can't stand Ye Cang's infatuated look.
The reporting Anbu said goodbye and disappeared with a whoosh.
Ye Cang in the Fengying Room stroked his chin, lost in thought.
The territory of the Kingdom of Wind is almost entirely dry desert. Although there are oases, they only occupy a very small area.
It cannot be farmed at all.
This has led to the fact that Sand Village has always been the village with the most food shortage among the five major villages.
This is also the reason why every time there is a war, the Sand Village is eager to rush to the Fire Country to plunder.
Compared to the poor Wind Kingdom, the Fire Kingdom is too rich.
With its fertile soil and humid climate, it is the largest grain producing area in the ninja world.
Coupled with Namikaze's future momentum this time, the Fire Nation's food advantage will probably reach an unprecedented level.
If he were the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, he would be thinking about how to bite off a piece of meat from Konoha at this moment.
But she is not Luo Sha. Luo Sha has gone crazy after losing to Namikaze Mirai, but she, Ye Cang, is very sober.
Just as she was thinking about the possibility of cooperating with Konoha, the door of the Kazekage Room was suddenly pushed open.
"Ye Cang, have you heard about the hybrid rice incident?"
Yingsuke Chiyo rushed in in a hurry.
"I already know this. This might be an opportunity. If I cooperate with Namikaze Mirai..."
Seeing Ye Cang's eager expression, Chiyo became furious.
"Yakura, don't forget your identity. You are the Kazekage, the Fifth Kazekage of the Sand Village!"
"Who made the previous Kazekage Luosha become what he is now? "
Originally, Ye Cang was not qualified to become the Fifth Kazekage.
However, the previous Kazekage, Rasa, was defeated miserably by Namikaze Mirai, who was also a magnetic-style ninja, in three battles, and became a laughing stock in the ninja world for a time.
It can be said that Namikaze Mirai stepped on Rasa and gained the reputation of the blue flash!
Luo Sha was overwhelmed by this humiliation and gradually went insane after the war, becoming unable to perform the duties of the Kazekage.
Helplessly, Chiyo could only choose another bloodline ninja in the village, Yekura, to succeed the Fifth Kazekage.
This was the only option at the time.
If a new Kazekage is not chosen quickly, the people of the Sand Village will be in panic and may even fall into internal turmoil before the other ninja villages can attack.
Chiyo originally thought that Ye Cang would be grateful to her for becoming the Kazekage.
Unexpectedly, after becoming the Kazekage, Ye Cang revealed his astonishing ambition.
Taking advantage of Luo Sha's madness and loss of power, he purged the hostile forces, excluded dissidents, and through a series of bloody operations, he gradually took control of the entire Sand Village.
Even Chiyo, who originally recommended her to be the puppet Kazekage, was gradually sidelined by her.
Whenever she thought of it, Chiyo felt filled with resentment.
"Yakura, how much pain did Namikaze Mirai bring to the Sand Village during the Third World War? You actually want to cooperate with him? Do you still have the village in your eyes?"
Faced with Chiyo's harsh criticism, Ye Cang did not get angry but laughed instead.
"Master Chiyo, the times have changed. If you continue to look at the ninja world with the old-fashioned perspective, you will only be eliminated by the times."
"The most favorable choice for the Sand Village now is to cooperate with Konoha. The Sand Village is short of food, and Konoha is not short of food. Which is more important, the countless hungry villagers in the Sand Village? Or is the hatred in your eyes, Chiyo-sama?"
Knowing that she couldn't win the argument with Ye Cang, Chiyo could only yell out of habit.
"Yakura! You're going to regret this!"
"Chiyo! I am the Kazekage!"
boom!
The door of the Fengying Room was slammed shut!
