"Your Excellency Hokage, before the old man came here, he heard that you Konoha have been vigorously developing the economy in recent years, and now it seems that this is really the case."

Emotion flashed on the faces of the three generations of Thunder Shadow, these just a few dozen minutes of wandering around had already made him notice the ...... shrouded in Konoha Village A new atmosphere that is completely different from Yunyin, or most of the ninja villages:

In the closer area, the ninjas on both sides of the street are in a hurry, carrying various tools that they don't know how to use, or chatting while trotting, and the pace of life is undoubtedly much faster than that of the ninja world as a whole.

In the distance, you can see dusty buildings, all kinds of high-rise buildings that have been completed or to be completed, and the sound of bells and bells between the movements of strangely shaped large construction machines can be clearly heard for several kilometers.

Lei Luo followed the gaze of the three generations of Thunder Shadow and glanced around, and then said with a smile: "The richness of the Fire Country is known to the whole world, and Konoha is like the heart of the Fire Country, which has extremely high development value. ”

"In the past, businessmen from other countries were limited to policies, limited to the concept that the previous Hokage was not open enough, and limited to the high price of land and human resources in Konoha, and did not dare to come to Konoha to carry out various business projects......"

"But it's really different now......" Raising his hand and gesturing around, Lei Luo's smile was faintly smug, looking at the rough faces of the three generations of Lei Ying who were listening carefully, he continued:

"Development, in fact, is never too late, you just need to reasonably reduce the cost of merchants, give them a fairly fair market environment, and provide various support plans, then with Konoha in the ninja world, ......"

"It's not too hard to get to where we are today."

The three generations of Thunder Shadow nodded, and did not give any evaluation to Lei Luo's statement, but picked out a sharp question and handed it to the other party: "Your Excellency Hokage, the current development trend of Konoha is naturally excellent, but I don't know if you have considered it...... If you continue like this, will Konoha still be a ninja village in the future? ”

The words of the three generations of Lei Ying were quite intriguing, Lei Luo thought about it carefully, and soon heard the meaning of the strong man beside him:

There is nothing wrong with using the power of ninjas to transform various ninjutsu into labor, and with the help of a much lower cost than manual labor, there is nothing wrong with it......

However, there are gains and losses, if ninjas all go to build houses, dig the ground, and rob jobs that ordinary people can do, not to mention where ordinary people who were originally engaged in these industries should go, let's just say - the work that originally belonged to ninjas, and who should do those countless ninja tasks?

Sweep up the spies in the village, complete various mercenary missions issued to Konoha by outsiders, and even infiltrate enemy countries...... In the meantime, Konoha has taken up a lot of ninja resources, is it still capable of completing it?

Nowadays, Konoha has completed the most tasks by ninjas, which are the construction tasks issued by major merchants, and batches of orders can be sent down, and a large number or even a large amount of cheap labor can be obtained, and more and more ninjas are beginning to engage in production and neglect to fight, so ......

Konoha is indeed less like a ninja village and more like a city.

The message revealed in the words of the three generations of Thunder Shadow is very clear: development is good, but the ninja world is actually not peaceful, and it is doubtful whether Konoha, which has gradually begun to change in nature, can be called a ninja village, and whether it can still maintain the necessary force.

And the answer given by Lei Luo at this moment is also very clear: "In my opinion, the ninja village is just a form, a product of the times, just like the wall that surrounds the entire Konoha ......"

Pointing to the distance, he stopped for a moment above the fence that was obviously deflected outward, Lei Luo spread his hands and smiled indifferently: "After several expansions of the village, the outer wall is also getting bigger and bigger, but the wall is actually like the shackles of the old times......

"One day, as the dawn of the new era approaches, the wall will naturally come to collapse, and at that time, what is the point of Konoha Village, Konoha City, or other name changes?"

I have to say that Lei Luo's seemingly unintentional insights caused the three generations of Thunder Shadow to think deeply, and he didn't understand why the other party, who was the Hokage, was so big-hearted, and in order to promote the arrival of the so-called new era, he abandoned his martial arts and took a large number of ninjas out of combat missions......

Is it short-sighted?

Or is it ...... Is there anything you don't understand?

Glancing at the three generations of Thunder Shadow who stood still and thought in place, Lei Luo didn't bother him, but just stood beside him, looking at the scene on the side of the street quietly.

The three generations of Lei Ying naturally didn't know that Lei Luo's concept of rule has always been to make the best use of people, be strong, and continue to do those more dangerous tasks to keep his combat power at its peak for a long time.

And the weak, such as the ninja who fell disabled after the ninja war, the ninja who is extremely poorly talented, and the ninja who is old and frail, is either engaged in production work, or teaching work, or scientific research work, in short, will not fight anymore.

At the same time, in order to avoid the lack of force, Lei Luo takes an elite education in the cultivation of the next generation: either according to the personal wishes of the ninja school students, or according to the school's regular screening every year, about half of the ninja school graduates with high talent are selected for full-time combat training.

Genius ninjas like Kakashi, Maitkai, Obito, Sunset Red, Asma, and so on, which are well-known to Rairo, are the product of the full-time combat training policy: they don't need to take traditional ninja courses, they don't need to take too many cultural classes, they just need to learn how to fight.

Kakashi's ability to defeat the Nakashi at the age of six is certainly due to his superb talent at work, but it is not the result of the fact that there are many retired old shinobi who have retired when he was in school, and the old shinobi is constantly teaching his combat experience and constantly training against him?

Whoever is suitable for what to do, just do it full-time, to a certain extent, centralized training, the concept of elite soldiers, is Lei Luo's core layout for the education of the next generation and the future development of Konoha.

Soldiers are not expensive, and this is the truth.

What's more, the large number of Konoha ninjas is constantly being brought in from the outside world, so that the overall number of Konoha ninjas is also rising, and in this case, the elite ninjas screened out will one day reach the number of all the previous ninjas combined.

At that time, it is almost conceivable to what extent Konoha's strength will be transformed: a force composed of 10,000 crooked melons and cracked dates, and an army composed of 10,000 elite ninjas, that is not a concept at all.
