The Krill Industry is Dying Because of Bulrushes

With a tough attitude, Makoto forcibly terminated the meeting and returned to the office.

Everyone who was waiting to have fun and was ready to take action saw that things had turned out like this, so they had no choice but to disperse in anger.

But Makoto knew that the situation would never stop because of this.

Anyone who can think of using small countries to put pressure on him will definitely have options.

In fact, Makoto is not the only one who thinks so.

Not long after he sat down, Konoha's senior officials gathered around him.

Even the Sandaime who was at home urging Asuma to get married, Jiraiya who was writing a new work at home, and even Tsunade who was writing a thesis at home came... These three guys are really different from the others no matter what time...

Makoto snapped his fingers, and the masked ANBU jumped out and closed the door, blocking out the surrounding sounds.

"Isn't Shikaku here... Let's start first. You leave a hole outside and let him come in directly."

Everyone sat down and began to speak.

The first to speak was Uchiha Fugaku.

"The Land of Snow behaves differently this time, and there must be someone behind it!"

Even Uchiha Fugaku felt that something was wrong this time.

"But as the number one hidden village on the surface, Konoha has its own majesty. If the provocateurs cannot be made aware of the cost of provoking Konoha, then temptations and attacks will continue!"

"The opponent has already attacked, so we must fight back immediately - now, immediately, immediately, give the opponent a merciless and powerful counterattack!"

Uchiha was as direct as ever.

However, as one of the traditional ninja clans, it is normal for Uchiha to have such thoughts.

Although it is not consistent in nature, this is also the thought of many young ninjas in Konoha.

Makoto nodded, without making any comments, but looked at Hyuuga Hiashi.

"Hokage-sama, I agree with Uchiha Fugaku-sama. This incident is not as simple as a small country being stupid!"

Hyuuga Hiashi habitually agreed with Uchiha Fugaku before expressing his own opinion.

"But since the other party dares to provoke us, they must be prepared. Maybe the other party is hoping for a strong response from us... Please think twice!"

Obviously, the opinions of the two sides were completely opposite, but because of Hyuuga Hiashi's active agreement, the two sides did not quarrel directly.

Makoto looked at Gai.

"This is youth." Gai clenched his fists with a solemn expression, "Because we are youth, we are destined to encounter all kinds of difficulties and obstacles!"

...So what does this have to do with youth...

Fortunately, Makoto didn't really come to ask his opinion.

He just wanted everyone present to know that Gai had the right to speak.

I don't ask you to open all Eight Gates. As long as Gai can open seven of the Gates, Makoto will save a lot of effort...

After Gai, there was Uchiha Shisui.

After all, he comes from a big clan, and Uchiha Shisui attaches great importance to qualifications. With so many seniors in front, how could a junior like him have the right to speak.

But now Makoto is staring at him. As a member of the Hokage's direct team, he finally stood up.

"After all, people can't understand each other, but this time the Land of Snow representative behaved very strangely. The other party should not be the mastermind. We can use ninjutsu to bypass the Land of Snow and find the mastermind directly..."

It's a very simple idea, without any features or problems.

However, through Shisui's words, Makoto somewhat understood why Shisui had Kotoamatsukami.

On the one hand, he longs for everyone to understand each other, but on the other hand, deep down in his heart, he probably knows that this is absolutely impossible. That's why the other gods, the top power that forcibly changes the will of others, were born...

"Pretty good idea."

After Makoto nodded, he finally looked at Kakashi.

"Kakashi, what do you think?"

"Use exchange rate against him."

Hearing what Kakashi said, all the senior ninjas present couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

Today, under Makoto's continuous face-to-face operations, they no longer underestimate the power of the economy as before – think about Soragakure.

It's so miserable.

And Kusagakure.

In fact, the seniors know that there is no hidden village in Land of Rice itself...

In fact, they don't really know what exchange rate is, let alone how to interfere with each other's exchange rate.

But this did not affect their knowledge that Kakashi had already learned bad things from Makoto.

Since he said that, he must be fully confident.

And the price the Land of Snow has to pay must be extremely heavy.

However, Makoto did not agree.

"No, no, Kakashi, you are a bit too extreme... –

"Konoha's reputation has been severely damaged before. Our next actions should try to avoid affecting ordinary people in Land of Snow..."

Seeing what Makoto said, Kakashi did not insist.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Makoto's eyes moved away from Kakashi, and an elder saw this and spoke at every opportunity.

"Perhaps, we can wait for a while? It's good to find the enemy and counterattack immediately, but the situation is unclear now. If you rush forward without knowing what's going on, you may become a living target of the opponent – so far, we still don't know which hidden village is doing this secretly... Maybe there are more of them than we thought... –

"Hokage-sama, you should not move lightly. Let us old guys have an elder-level conversation with the other party and explore the situation first! –

"If it really doesn't work... I don't know your plan, but giving up the bulrushes might be a good choice..."

Makoto smiled and thanked the elders for their kindness, but did not agree.

"I won't give up on Project Bulrush."

"Why?"

"Because this is my promise to my friend. I said I would help her get it done, and I will definitely help her get it done. Please don't say anything like this again."

The snake on Makoto's arm spat out the message happily.

Just as Makoto looked at Sandaime and the others, Nara Shikaku hurried in from outside.

Shikaku Nara is also a Jounin of Konoha, but because he has to run a trash tabloid, he has not done any missions for a long time, and even his clothes have been changed to a jacket and bell-bottom pants.

When he came in, he had a baseball cap on his head and a large newspaper under his arm. He looked like a professional paparazzi.

"Shikaku? Why do you look so rushed? Sit down quickly."

Shikaku thanked him, then unfolded the newspaper under his arm and showed it in front of everyone.

"Everyone, something happened outside...please take a look."

Everyone took a quick look and found that there were only some news attacking Konoha.

Konoha, who was still studying, used 'shocked' again and made it bigger and bolder.

The content inside is even more messy. The Hokage of Konoha slapped the representative of a small country in public. The Hokage of Konoha took off his leather shoes during a meeting and made a big fuss in the meeting place. There is even a rumor that Konoha Hokage and Terumi Mei, the popular candidate for Mizukage, are in love...

Naturally, everyone didn't believe the first two, because some of the people were at the scene – the editor really couldn't even make it up.

But as for the third one...

Kakashi: "Hokage-sama, I thought you only liked mature women like Pakura-san."

Makoto: "As everyone knows, I am a lolicon. This is pure slander."

So everyone stopped discussing this issue.

Obviously, these newspapers were originally cooperating with the representatives of the Land of Snow to launch the attack.

But what I didn't expect was that Makoto vetoed the entire proposal with one vote. So much so that the proposal was over as soon as it started.

Let all these tabloids turn into jokes.

"No, this is not a joke!" Shikaku touched the sweat on his forehead and warned everyone from the perspective of a practitioner, "No one cares about the truth. Everyone is only willing to believe what they want to believe! As long as these tabloids continue If you make it up, some people will believe it!"

"Konoha's reputation can no longer accept this level of blow!"

Kakashi carefully read some of these tabloids, which were obviously pacing, and found something interesting.

"The dates of these newspapers are all from today... This is a premeditated conspiracy. –

"But our friends in the industry, why haven't we even received any news?"

Konoha is rich and willing to spend money, so Makoto pays more attention to the influence of public opinion. Therefore, when friends in the industry encounter news related to Konoha, they will always reveal it first – the miso war is too big, and there is really no way...

Now Konoha has not received any wind, but there is a public opinion offensive, which is very strange.

"That's exactly what I want to say!" Shikaku breathed heavily, "According to my analysis, these newspapers are all printed in advance and then shipped in from neighboring small countries – they can do this in a short time There is no doubt that a large amount of funds and the cooperation of ninjas are needed, and this is definitely not something that a small hidden village or a small country can do! –

"I'm worried that this is just the other party's first step!"

The Great Hidden Village... excluding Sunagakure, it's just those three guys...

Iwagakure has always been honest, and because of Onoki's orders, they have been silently recovering.

Kumogakure is not honest, but he is too torn internally, and he may not be able to do something like this that requires a high degree of organization and tacit understanding.

Then...it's actually a possibility.

Is Black Zetsu helping Obito?

After all, he is a super veteran who has lived for so many years and finally changed history by digging into his heart. His level is really hard to say.

Makoto thought about it and looked at Jiraiya.

"There are too many mysteries. Based on the current information, it is really difficult to determine."

"Makoto, let me go get some information!"

There is definitely no problem with Jiraiya's level, but in the original work, he was just checking it, and suddenly it became easy for him.

Makoto was reluctant to let him out.

A master like this who has been famous for a long time will be intimidated by others even if he is just sitting at home drinking tea.

Makoto looked at the Sandaime.

Sandaime slowly put down his pipe.

"No matter how clever your tongue is, it cannot replace the shuriken. –

"Large-scale war is no longer suitable for this era, but if necessary..."

The meaning of the third generation is very clear, which is to fight.

Of course it's not possible to start a full-scale war, but if you want to find a reason to start a local battle... A Konoha ninja disappeared in your house, please let me be healthy, can't you?

Everyone finished expressing their opinions, but Makoto shook his head repeatedly.

"No need...it doesn't need to be like this. Things that can be easily solved with a small method...it doesn't need to be so extreme. Let's make money by being harmonious."

"A small method?"

"Well... we can claim that eating too much polar krill, a specialty of the Land of Snow, can cause severe kidney failure and even yang in men. That's it."

The Land of Snow is close to the pole and is a country with snow all year round. This country is so remote that of course it doesn't have any decent resources.

– There used to be many seals that liked to climb onto the ice to bask in the sun, but during the industrialization of the Land of Snow, these seals had long been slaughtered.

Although the Land of Snow is small, it must be said that the previous generations of kings of the Land of Snow were really far-sighted. On the premise of sacrificing seals, they are desperately promoting domestic industrialization.

So twelve years later, when the veterans of the Land of Waves began to work hard to build bridges and maintain contact with the outside world, there were already a large number of railways in the Land of Snow, and even Yuki-nins used fashionable chakra armors .

Chakra armor is really powerful. Not only can it greatly enhance the resistance of ninjas to ninjutsu and genjutsu, it even has the ability to fly, which truly comprehensively improves the combat effectiveness of ninjas.

Although even the strongest among the Yuki ninjas, the chakra armor used by Kazahana Doto, cannot stop the Rasengan of the protagonist group, but it is the protagonist group after all... If it can be deployed on a large scale, it will definitely It can increase the chuunin and even the jounin quite a bit.

As for the original Kazahana Doto, it is clear that it has such technology, but it has never been popularized... It should be too expensive.

All in all, this is a small country with some strength – but it suffers because it has some strength, but not much.

Compared with the population and needs of the Land of Snow, the resources of the Land of Snow are too few. So whether you like it or not, in the end its pillars are all piled on polar krill.

Polar krill is really a good thing. Not only is it delicious, it is rich in protein, but it also has a very strong reproductive capacity and can be frightening in large numbers.

They don't even need people to care.

As long as the fishing volume is slightly controlled and the fish is not cut off at once, the Land of Snow will be able to continuously obtain a large amount of profits from it.

Makoto also considered importing krill from the Land of Snow as a protein supplement for Konoha.

But... isn't this Yagura coming?

There was one that was closer and cheaper, so the Land of Snow was naturally ranked lower.

For now, the mainland strategy is Konoha's top priority. A small border country like this is currently not suitable for investing a lot of time and energy.

If they hadn't jumped out on their own initiative, Makoto wouldn't have been able to remember it.

But since it's coming...

Makoto said very vicious words in an understatement.

Fortunately, he is a teammate.

So everyone didn't think it was anything.

Severe kidney failure...

Ruthless.

Makoto  looked around and found that no one had any objections. He knew that these old people had understood what he meant, so he began to assign tasks.

"Sandaime-sama, you should know those senior advisors, right? After the meeting is over, please go there in person and tell them about our latest research findings in Konoha – you don't need to get things done, you just need to Just ask them to help get the news out. –

"Tsunade-neesan, please come up with another fake paper. You can make it up however you want. Anyway, it is to prove the medical principle of krill's health benefit – you can also write a correction paper to deny your own research, but that will have to be published later. –

"Shikaku, you find a few random people, pretend to be victims, and ask them to claim that their bodies have been severely damaged by eating polar krill all year round... Do you understand what I mean?"

Makoto quickly finished talking about their respective tasks, and everyone present did not understand what he meant.

Although everyone felt that Makoto idea was really a bit sinister. But...it seems possible?

It's just...

Kakashi: "If you don't do this well, you will destroy the entire krill industry. Godaime-sama, if you do this, you will really become a dwarf in the industry... Konoha's reputation..."

"This is just a warning. If the other party is really afraid and shrinks, that is of course the best. We will eventually prove that these are just rumors and cause them a slight loss."

Makoto slowly stood up.

"But if the other party is under such huge pressure and wants to become our enemy, then it is the real enemy. There is nothing to hesitate about the enemy. Killing them all is the greatest respect. –

"And, I also..."

Makoto actually doesn't mind other ninja villages attacking him in this way. This shows that the other party's concept has changed and he is a true modernized ninja.

For him, the more new ninjas there are, the closer he is to success.

Of course, the enemy is the enemy...

Makoto wanted to stand up, but he was immediately pushed down by Sandaime and Jiraiya.

"You sit down for me!"

"You go out again, who knows what other people think!"

"Do you know how much trouble you cause to others every time you leave the village? Everyone has now taken your departure from the village as a sign that Konoha is taking full action!"

Under the collective resistance of everyone, Makoto had no choice but to sit back again.

"Who are these people... Even I want to do something good sometimes..."

Seeing Makoto tragic situation, the snake wrapped around Makoto shoulders rubbed its belly with its tail, laughing so hard that it couldn't stand upright.
