The central area of Konoha Village is located under the Hokage Rock, and there are many important places for ninjas, the most important of which are the Konoha Ninja School, the Hokage House, and the Kaminobi Standby.

As the name suggests, the ninja school is the place where ninjas learn, cultivating fresh blood, and where the future hope of Konoha Village lies, so it is very valued, and it is located in the center of Konoha Village.

The Hokage's house is the house of the village chief that has been passed down from generation to generation since the first Hokage, the administrative center of Konoha Village, and the Hokage-sama works here. In addition to this, the Hokage's house also keeps many forbidden scrolls and confidential documents, and Naruto infiltrated the Hokage's house when he stole the forbidden scroll to learn the art of multiple shadow clones.

The Hokage's office on the third floor of the Hokage's house is where the Hokage-sama assigns tasks to the ninja squads, and if anyone has an important matter to discuss and wants to ask to see the Hokage, they must also apply at the reception desk on the first floor of the Hokage's house, and go to the Hokage's office to meet the Hokage after getting permission.

The Kamishinobi Standby is located in a small circular building next door to the Hokage's house, where the Shinobi in the village, who have no tasks on their bodies, are stationed here, waiting for the Hokage's orders to prepare for emergencies.

Tang Xiaotian, who was disguised as a sound ninja, could not approach the central area of Konoha Village, and once she got close, a patrolling ninja would come forward to stop her, so Luo Feng sent her to find a house to find a place for the team to stay.

Luo Feng and Io went straight to the Hokage's house and submitted an application to meet Hokage-sama at the reception desk on the first floor, and the reason for meeting Hokage-sama was written on the application: "Foreign businessman Bredrow and his subordinates ask to meet Hokage-sama to discuss business cooperation. ”

The application was submitted, and the two were not immediately taken to the Hokage's office, and the Hokage-sama had a lot of opportunities to meet him, and there were many people who wanted to see him, so they had to wait in line.

Luo Feng was not in a hurry, and drank tea in the waiting room with Io, and after waiting for about three hours, a middle-aged ninja with two scars on his face and hair tied up like a samurai's bun pushed the door in, informing Hokage-sama that he had time to meet them now.

The appearance of this ninja was obvious, and Luo Feng recognized it at a glance, he was the father of Nara Shikamaru, who was known for his outstanding intelligence among the twelve small powerhouses of Konoha, Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shikakuno is a Konoha military advisor, equivalent to the chief secretary of Hokage-sama, and is a think-tank type with superior intelligence and shrewdness.

Led by Nara Shikaku, Luo Feng and Io walked upstairs to the door of the Hokage's office.

Nara Lujiu knocked on the door, and heard an old "come in" sound from inside, so he pushed open the door and walked in with Luo Feng and the others.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a huge desk, the desk was full of scrolls, and the three generations of Hokage Ape Tobi sat behind the desk, smoking a pipe in one hand to refresh himself, and looking through a ninja mission report with the other.

It seems that making Luo Feng and Io wait for three hours is not lazy, but that Hokage's work is really busy.

When the Hokage is not an easy job, Naruto thinks that the Hokage-sama is very beautiful and amazing, but he doesn't know how complicated the Hokage's daily work is, and when he really becomes the Hokage, he is so busy that he has no time to spend with his family, I don't know if he will have a trace of doubt about his childhood dream.

Nara Shikamaru bowed respectfully and said in a loud voice, "Hokage-sama, those two merchants of the 'Dragon Country' who asked to see you are here. ”

Only then did Ape Fei Sun put down the scroll, raised his head, and looked at Luo Feng and Io scrutinically.

Nara Shikaku didn't leave, but walked straight behind the Hokage's desk and stood behind Sarutobi with his hands in his hands.

The chief secretary of the Hokage, who is also responsible for protecting the Hokage, of course, this office also has a hidden compartment for the Tibetans, and in case of an emergency, the on-call Shadow Ninja can appear at any time to support.

Luo Feng smiled slightly, the flesh on his fat face was in a ball, and he said in an exaggerated tone: "Although it is the first time we have met, I have admired the prestige of Hokage-sama for a long time!" We, the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, have come to the Ninja World Continent to seek business partners, and we ask Hokage-sama to take care of you. ”

As he spoke, Luo Feng stepped forward and stretched out his fat hand to Ape Fei Ri, enthusiastically wanting to shake hands with him.

This kind of etiquette is rare in the ninja world, and Sarutobi couldn't help but be stunned and didn't make any response.

Luo Feng's fat hand froze in the air for a moment, then shrank back in a daze, and then he reached into his coat pocket, but this action aroused Nara Shikaku's alarm.

Nara Shikahisa posed for the seal and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Oh, don't be nervous."

Luo Feng slowed down, took out two cigars from his jacket pocket, and shook the cigars at Nara Lujiu.

"Hokage-sama also likes to smoke, would you like to try this?"

Ape Fei Ri Slash couldn't figure out what this rich businessman who claimed to be from the overseas 'Dragon Country' wanted to do, so he just frowned and watched coldly, his time was precious, but he didn't want to waste it on such a meaningless meeting.

Seeing that Hokage-sama did not react, Luo Feng took out his cigar tong and cut open the cigar and held it in his mouth.

Io stepped forward with great discernment and took out his cigar lighter to help the boss light it.

Taking a deep breath of the cigar, Luo Feng opened his mouth and spit out a cloud of smoke, revealing a comfortable expression, showing the image of a nouveau riche businessman with low taste and low quality.

"Your name is ...... Bredrow? The president of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce? ”

Ape Fei Ri Slash was a little impatient, and asked straight to the point, "May I ask why you came to Konoha Village?" ”

Luo Feng didn't answer immediately, but paced to the window of the Hokage's office, stood against the window, and stretched out his finger to the streets of Konoha Village while smoking a cigar.

"It's too shabby, it's too backward, it's too poor!"

In a very regretful tone, Luo Feng shook his head as he spoke: "I thought how prosperous and rich the most powerful military organization in the most powerful country in the ninja continent was, but when I went to Konoha Village, I realized why the ninja village that was on a par with a country was named after 'village', you are really a veritable poor village!" ”

Nara Kaku's forehead was bruised, Konoha Village was already considered a relatively prosperous city in the ninja world, but it was devalued in the mouth of this foreign businessman.

Ape Fei Ri also sank his face, looking very displeased.

"Hokage-sama, I heard that Konoha Village's main income is divided into two parts, one is to rely on the assistance of the Fire Nation, and the other is to earn commissions for ninjas to complete tasks."

Luo Feng turned around, faced the ape flying sun, and spit out a smoke ring: "Actually, there is another income that has been ignored because the amount is very small, and that is local taxes. ”

"If you want to boost the economy of Konoha Village, tax is actually the most potential growth point."

With a confident smile, Luo Feng said eloquently: "The annual quota of aid from the Fire Nation, no matter how hard you try, it will not increase significantly. The number of tasks undertaken by ninjas is also limited, and it is impossible for the people to suddenly have a large number of task needs, and competing with other ninja village ninjas for a share of tasks will cause friction and even war, which is too costly.

Only by supporting local enterprises, attracting foreign investment, and enhancing the hematopoietic function of Konoha Village can the economic development of Konoha Village grow significantly, not only can the village's income increase, but the people can also benefit from it, and truly realize the prosperity of Konoha Village.

The most important thing is that the increase in local prosperity and tax revenue will not offend the interests of other countries' ninja villages, and ninjas do not need to risk their lives to perform tasks to earn commissions, greatly reducing bloodshed and sacrifices, and it is a path to peaceful rise. ”

Luo Feng puffed up his big belly, pointed to his garlic nose and continued: "And I, I'm a good investor, I want to invest a lot of money in Konoha Village for comprehensive industrial and commercial development, I wonder if Hokage-sama is interested?" ”

"Investment? Industrial and commercial development? ”

Ape Feiri slashed Luo Feng's words, and his anger gradually dissipated.

The third generation Hokage is a pacifist, bent on maintaining the stability of Konoha Village and protecting the villagers from harm, and has experienced several ninja wars, seeing a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice, standing on the roof of the Hokage's house every day, looking at the ninja school from afar, watching the lively young generation in the village grow up healthily, and I don't want them to suffer from the war of their fathers.

However, the resources of the ninja continent are limited, and there are many ninja villages, and the source of income for ninjas to survive is to serve the country of fire and undertake dangerous tasks, and the fate of ninjas seems to be bloodshed and sacrifice, and they can only exchange their lives and blood for the resources needed for survival.

If we can open up another revenue channel by way of peaceful rise, it will be a very attractive future development path.

However, the businessman in front of him had a suspicious identity, a lewd demeanor, and a character that didn't seem to be very trustworthy, and although he was a little moved, he also asked reservedly.

"President Braderow, how much money are you going to invest in Konoha Village? And how will it be invested? ”

"Hokage-sama, this is also the question I want to ask you, how much do you want me to invest?"

Nara Shikahisa, who was standing behind the Hokage, was surprised: "Shouldn't you mention how much to invest?" If we ask you to invest 10 trillion taels, can you get it? ”

Luo Feng spread his hands with a smile: "Of course you can!" In our 'Land of Dragons' dialect, sprinkle water. But I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it, doesn't this mean that I paid to buy Konoha Village? ”

"Nani?"

This time, Sarutobi was a little surprised, and Nara Lujiu just refuted it with an exaggerated statement, but he didn't expect the other party to accept it without hesitation.

Ten trillion taels! It is ten trillion taels and one trillion trillion yuan of the currency of the land of fire.

This is an astronomical amount, the commission for completing S-level tasks in Konoha Village's elite ninja is only more than one million taels, and one of the three ninjas like Senju Tsunade who has been famous for a long time and is old and strong, has accumulated decades of ninja career tasks, and has only completed nearly a hundred S-level tasks, earning hundreds of millions of taels in his life.

However, she gambled all this money and lost it.

And ten trillion taels is equivalent to the commission income of tens of thousands of Tsunade-level ninjas in their lifetime tasks.

There are only three ninjas of the level of Tsunade in Konoha Village, known as the Konoha Three Ninjas, and the number of other ninjas completing S-level tasks is far lower than that of the Three Ninjas.

Ten trillion taels are smashed down, enough to hire all the ninjas in Konoha Village for a lifetime, with the principle of ninjas performing tasks, they must be responsible for their employers, abide by the employment contract signed when undertaking the task, and cannot be torn up at will.

That is to say, if someone really takes out ten trillion taels to hire all the ninjas of Konoha for a lifetime, if Konoha Village accepts the commission and the two parties sign an employment contract, they will obey each other's orders and work for each other for the rest of their lives.

It's no different from buying Konoha Village!

"Impossible!" Nara Lujiu shook his head and said, "The total amount of currency issued by the Fire Country is not a trillion taels, you are just bragging!" ”
