Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 6 Making too much money can be scary

Two months later, after the third division of the nest, the 140 ant colonies finally began to officially harvest the first batch of ant honey, selling it for a profit of 600,000 taels.

The profits that far exceeded expectations made all participants very happy and frightened at the same time.

Aburame Tetsumaru understood from the beginning that his family could not run Sugar Ant alone. He even thought that maybe the Aburame family was not qualified to monopolize this business, but the one-time profit of 600,000 proved that everyone had underestimated the ants.

The value of sugar.

The ninja world is in a feudal society, the government does not organize production, and productivity is extremely low.

Moreover, not long after the end of the long-term warring period of the Warring States Period, another massive ninja war was fought. It was poor.

It is normal to suffer from hunger and lack of food and clothing. Sweetener is a scarce luxury product. Now there is no situation that it cannot be sold. Even if the output is increased a hundred times, the price will not be reduced.

It will be even more exaggerated during the war. Sugar is an important military commodity. A piece of it can quickly replenish your physical strength between battles. After being injured, drinking a hot cup of thick sugar water can save your life.

Sugar is also an important component of Bingliang Pills, and the demand and profits will be even greater during the war.

In the Country of Fire, there are several nobles who operate maltose and beet-pressed sugar, but the feudal noble organizations cannot scale up the manpower, so the output is small and the quality is poor.

In Konoha Village, there is no competition at all in the honey industry run by the Yamanaka family. Even during the war, the profits from honey can support the family's consumption.

The honey industry of the Yamanaka family, the medicine industry of the Nara family, and the livestock industry of the Akimichi family are far more profitable and important than their superficial flowers, deer raising, and barbecue, and they are also hidden.

Having a stable industry, strong economic strength, and strong combat effectiveness are the foundation for the three abilities of Pig, Deer, and Die to be as stable as Mount Tai.

Honey depends on flowers, and the short flowering period and the amount of nectar and pollen determine that honey production is very small, and excessive competition for territory among bee colonies also results in limited density of bee colonies.

The pitiful output of artificial beekeeping can support a small family of five people on earth at most, but it can actually support a huge ninja family in the ninja world, which shows that the profit margin is quite exaggerated.

The combination of sugar ants and aphids does not rely on flowers. The yield of sugar ants is hundreds of times that of honey. Even if the quality is inferior and the price is low, it is still a steady hundred times the total revenue of the honey industry.

Whether the ninja world is an extraordinary world or a dualist feudal monarchy, the first rule is how big the fist can be to gain the maximum advantage.

From small individuals to large countries, huge interests are occupied by powerful forces.

The Aburame family didn't have the guts to monopolize the ant candy from the beginning, so they roped in many ninja clans to run the business together, but now it seems that the distribution is not divided enough and they have not attracted enough allies.

Aburame Shiki immediately decided to continue sharing the profits. There was no need to discuss this matter with the clan leader and she could start implementing it directly.

First of all, instead of using your own land, rent the land of the Pig, Deer and Butterfly clans to transform it into an aphid field.

Then, if you can’t do the daily maintenance yourself, the relevant work is subcontracted out in the village in the form of tasks, and the reward amount is high.

Finally, don't sell the candy yourself. Except for the share shared by the family, all candies are sold on behalf of the village and are controlled by the Hokage-sama.

After the Nara family joined, the head of the Nara family thought that the sharing was not enough. After more than a dozen family heads gathered together to discuss, he persuaded everyone to expand the scope of the Ant Sugar Alliance again.

So two more long-term tasks were issued: One task designated the security department to strengthen patrols and protect the aphid fields.

Another task assigned the Hyuga family to monitor the status of the aphid field on a daily basis.

This sexy operation is really powerful, and the otaku-type Aburame Tetsumaru was shocked.

Because all aphid fields, including those under construction and planned in the future, are originally within the inspection scope of the Ministry of Security.

The Byakugan family does not allow Byakugan in the village. What special role does Hyuga, who does not open Eyes, play in supervision?

It means paying tribute and paying protection fees to the wealthy.

If there were only three or two kittens left in the Senju clan, there would be designated tasks for the Senju clan. Now we only need to give the Senju a piece of money, and there is no need to go through so much trouble.

But this has nothing to do with him, because except for a few people in Aburame's family, no one in the village knows that this matter has anything to do with Aburame Tetsumaru.

Aburame Tetsumaru underestimated the value of ant candy, but it was just a matter of degree. He was a time traveler after all, and he had already smelled danger, so how could he easily take risks?

Aburame Tetsumaru is afraid of death. Before time travel, he drifted between life and death until he was almost dead. This great terror that transcended life and death created a new character for him. He was very afraid of death, but even more afraid of boredom.

Therefore, Tetsumaru is very satisfied with the new life, especially when he started learning ninjutsu, parasites, and chakra at the age of four. The new knowledge and extraordinary power are really infinitely attractive.

Aburame Tetsumaru plunged into the ocean of new knowledge, trying hard to absorb all the ninjutsu knowledge he could come into contact with. He held the family collection of books every day and became a bookworm in the mouth of the elders.

For Aburame Tetsumaru, being able to learn new knowledge in a stable manner is happiness. There is no point in being in the limelight, at least until he is well developed.

Five years old is still a child. A great life and fresh knowledge are waiting for Aburame Tetsumaru to enjoy. He doesn't want to take risks and it is best to develop silently.

However, on the basis that his life is guaranteed, Aburame Tetsumaru is willing to contribute to the family. He is protected by the family and enjoys the family's educational resources. The family has been kind to him in raising him, which is a great kindness.

The three views he developed in his previous life did not allow him to enjoy rights and interests without assuming obligations.

The day after handing over the sugar ants, Tiewan paid a special visit to Elder Zhihui and persuaded him to attribute the credit for the development of the ant sugar to the entire Aburame clan. Elder Zhihui was an old man and understood what Tiewan meant instantly.

The information that Aburame Tetsumaru has mastered the complete set of ant sugar technology is fatal enough for a five-year-old child. Once leaked, his family's allied families may not be able to help but secretly attack.

With such a huge benefit, the allies of the Ninja clan are unreliable, and the top management of Konoha Village are even more unreliable. It has been seven or eight years, and none of the old guys can still see that the pair of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are playing a black and white match?

These two people are extremely greedy and selfish. Not to mention anything else, the Sarutobi family and the Shimura family have doubled their population and the number of ninjas in the family in recent years.

So the Aburame family announced to the outside world that Ant Candy was developed with the efforts of the entire family. No one doubted that this was not something that could be done by one person. Tiewan was able to do it by using technology and superpowers at the same time.

After Aburame Tetsumaru was sure that no one was paying attention to her, she returned to her growth rhythm with peace of mind.

…

"Make a seal of opposition."

"ready, go."

Buzz~~~~~~buzz~~~~~~

The fighting arena was immediately filled with black parasites. The two large groups of parasites each divided into small groups and fought fiercely.

One side has a larger number of parasites, divided into five small groups, and each confrontation quickly overwhelms the opponent's insect swarm.

Although the number of parasites on the other side is small, they are divided into twelve groups. They always successfully delay the opponent's attack and repeatedly use the tactic of surprise attack, forcing the enemy insect group to give up the attack and hastily turn around to intercept.

The large number of insect swarms easily won every confrontation, but the rhythm was controlled by the opponent, and they were clumsy. Finally, they missed a group of parasitic insects and landed on Aburame Tetsumaru's head.

"Aburame Chi narrowly wins, the exercise is over."

Both sides made a seal, ending the competition.

Aburame Zhiwei jumped closer to Aburame Tetsumaru: "Brother Tetsumaru, I won again."

"Zhiwei is awesome, worthy of being the patriarch's child."

Aburame Tetsuwan touched Zhiwei's head and found that the hair was quite smooth and comfortable.

Frustrated? Lost?

nonexistent.

Because, I'm used to it.

This is the tenth time he has lost to Zhiwei, and he has also lost to other brothers many times.

Of course, it is limited to the fight against parasites. If there is no limit to the fight mode, Aburame Tetsumaru can sweep through those under eight years old with his body alone. After all, he is 1.3 meters tall, weighs 40 kilograms, and is seriously over-developed.

Zhiwei, who was just four years old, was developing normally. He was 1.01 meters tall and weighed 18 kilograms. The difference in height and weight was more than double. Tiewan and Zhiwei were not suitable for a full-scale confrontation.

The onlookers were chattering. Everyone admired Zhiwei's talent and Tiewan's talent. Even Elder Zhihui, who admired Tiewan the most, could only shake his head and sigh when he thought of his talent for controlling parasites.

Now that the Aburame family is rich, they naturally invest a large amount of money into the education of their descendants. The interval between parasite inheritance ceremonies has been shortened from one year to four months, and confrontation drills for the children have been continuously organized.

With the intensive confrontation, Aburame Tetsumaru's strange talents gradually became known. He was tall, strong, strong, fast, and had abundant chakra, as if he had been skewered by the Senju clan.

However, Aburame Tetsumaru's talent for controlling parasitic insects is a mess. That is to say, he relied on chakra and raised enough parasitic insects to be strong enough to achieve some victories.

In terms of actual combat, none of the children in the clan could beat Aburame Shiguro and Aburame Tetsumaru, who were already official genin.

When it comes to the secret technique of parasitic parasites, no one can defeat Aburame Tetsumaru.

In short, his talent is not as good as the ninjas of the Aburame family.

…

In the spring of Konoha's 27th year, in order to alleviate the tense situation and economic pressure, after a long period of wrangling and negotiation, five years after a large-scale truce, the five major ninja villages finally officially signed a peace treaty for a period of... two years.

Aburame Tetsumaru and other children who had mastered the parasites sat in on the family meeting as reserve ninjas.

At the meeting, the adults were all wearing sunglasses so that their expressions could not be seen, but they could not stop their resentment and injustice, because Konoha Village did not get any benefits from the peace treaty, forget it without land, we do not care about those rotten lands.

But how can this be done without money?

As far as the Aburome family is concerned, more than 120 ninjas were killed, missing or disabled during the entire war. At the end of the war, the total number of ninjas in the family was less than 40, including Tetsumaru's father.

There are only nine ninjas.

Economically, the Aburome family spent countless money during the war, and struggled for another five years after the war. If the ant sugar industry had not suddenly been born, the family would have gone bankrupt.

We paid so much and expected the village to compensate us, but the village actually accepted the peace treaty without compensation. How could the village compensate us?

The meeting ended soon. The Aburame family's political position determined that it was impossible for them to make a decision against the Hokage. It was basically a meeting to vent.

Aburame Shiki sent everyone away, leaving behind Aburame Tetsumaru and a few five- and six-year-old children.

Elder Zhihui gave serious instructions: "This year, everyone must take the exam seriously and strive to enter the ninja school. Tetsumaru, you want to enter Class A."

"Yes." Aburame Tetsumaru calmly accepted the order.

"Very good, let's go home."

"Goodbye, elder."

…

Since last year, Aburame Tetsumaru has gradually confirmed that she does not have the micro-manipulation talent for the secret technique of parasite parasites. After giving up, she began to look for another powerful path.

He first paid attention to ninjutsu. After all, most ninjas rely on ninjutsu to gain a foothold. This is the right way.

Unfortunately, the Aburame family focuses on sending bad bugs and has little knowledge in ninjutsu. The family has only collected a few dozen ninjutsu scrolls.

However, due to lack of attention, management was very lax, and Aburame Tetsumaru was easily borrowed.

I have read all these scrolls and iron pills. The strongest is only C-level ninjutsu, and it only has basic ninjutsu skills, no training experience, no amplification skills, and no hand seal reduction records.

The elder told Aburame Tetsumaru that these scrolls lacked experience in ninjutsu training, the ninjutsu was not powerful enough, and the speed of performing too many hand seals was too slow, making them unsuitable for today's fast-paced ninja battles.

The troubled Aburame Tetsumaru could only ask around, but his father gave him a super unexpected answer.

"Learning ninjutsu? Just go to school."

"Eh?"

"The ninja school library has the most complete range of ninjutsu, and no other family can compare with it."

???

No, that's not right. Sakura, the top student, has been studying in the Ninja School for six years. The super top student with perfect scores in all subjects only learned six E-level ninjutsu. Did I remember it wrong?

Finding that the child didn't believe him, Aburame and Kazufeng couldn't help but suspect that their credit was ruined. Could it be that they had deceived their children too much?

He quickly emphasized: "I'm not going to lie to you, I even have forbidden spells."

Aburame Iron Pill:w(Д)w

It's even more nonsense. All the forbidden arts are in the Book of Sealings. Even the protagonist, the Jinchuriki, the son of the Yondaime, has to go through the back door to take a look.

This bad old man is very bad, and he lied to me again.

"I don't believe it, I'll ask Elder Zhihui." Aburame Tiewan ran away in a flash.

Aburame and wind:(′Д`)

"Honey, it's over. I don't believe anything I say."

"You deserve it. You lie to your children every day, so you should be punished now."

Forbidden Land House.

"Hahahahahahaha, what Zefeng said is right, the ninja school does have the most ninjutsu inheritance."

Aburame Tetsumaru was stunned: incredible.

Aburame Shiki slowly told about the situation of the ninja school. It turned out that during the Nidaime's reign, he promoted the civilianization of ninjas and the integration of Konoha Village.

Senju Tobirama broke up the Senju branch and changed their surnames to civilians. At the same time, he put all the family's ninjutsu inheritance in the newly established ninja school and taught it to students openly, attracting outstanding ninja children and supporting civilian ninjas.

The teaching style of the school at that time was called rough. Students could find out what they wanted to learn by themselves. A-level ninjutsu, S-level ninjutsu, and even various forbidden arts that Senju Tobirama was constantly developing were all crammed into the ninja school.

No restrictions are made.

From the perspective of the top ninjas who came out of the Warring States Period, if someone becomes disabled while learning ninjutsu, it can only be said that this ninja is unqualified, and it is good to be disabled so as not to die in battle in the future.

Barbaric teaching caused countless teaching accidents, and countless powerful ninjas emerged. These powerful ninjas are the powerful capital of Konoha today. After losing the God of Ninja, they were still able to dominate the first Ninja World War.

The foundation of the oppressive ninja world.

"I heard that there was a kid who was behind the wheel and chose the 'Eight Gate Dunjia', and there was also a very outstanding kid who learned the 'Spiritual Transformation Technique'. Today's kids are really bold."

Matt Dai, Kato, what are you guys?

Aburame Tetsumaru is a little confused, but, it’s so good, I want to enroll in school early.

"But this chaos is about to change. Hiruzen Sarutobi proposed that in order to protect the children, the forbidden jutsu should be sealed, the teaching of advanced ninjutsu should be cancelled, and the ninjutsu taught in schools should be limited to C level."

"This way, we don't have to send our children to first aid every three days, and the ninja school won't have its buildings collapsed every now and then. It can save a lot of money."

#%…@&$…&%%#

This blow was so cruel that Aburame Iron Pill spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

The policy proposed by the Hokage will not encounter strong opposition, but has many supporters.

The powerful ninja clan relies on blood inheritance limits or secret techniques to gain a foothold. They only care about the ninjutsu that can cooperate with blood inheritance and are indifferent to other ninjutsu.

The little ninja clan will definitely not be happy, but they are not loud, and there is another way for the children of the little ninja clan to get promoted through apprenticeship, which is to be assigned to a team led by jounin after graduation.

This channel is precisely in the hands of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Which leader of the little ninja clan dares to object?

As for civilian ninjas, what do they know if their parents are not ninjas?

Being able to learn ninjutsu is enough to satisfy you.

Judging from the plot in Aburame Tetsumaru's memory, Hiruzen Sarutobi's policy was successful. Before his death, the ninja school only taught E-level ninjutsu, and the elite graduates were almost all ninja children inherited from their families.

In fact, Brother Sakura is not a pure civilian ninja. Her father is a chuunin. According to today's standards, he is a minor ninja.

The only exception is Xiao Li, but he became a jounin in advance and his background is even better than his family's ninjas.

At that time, civilian ninjas had completely become cannon fodder. Sakura, the top student with perfect scores in all subjects, was a weakling. Naruto, the protagonist, was even weaker. Even if he learned multiple shadow clones through the back door, he could still only hit people with his fists.

Compared with the graduate genin of Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village, Konoha's genin are not at the same level at all. A civilian ninja team cannot defeat a single genin.

Where has the essence of Konoha Village's ninjutsu heritage gone?

It most likely fell to the Sarutobi family. This ninja clan was not very powerful when the village was founded. After the Sandaime was in power for more than 40 years, it has developed to such an extent that it organized a separate army of four thousand ninjas, all of whom were good at fire escape.

What is this concept?

After the mobilization of the Ninja World, there were 80,000 ninjas and ninja warriors, of which only over 20,000 were ninjas belonging to the Leaf Village.

The number of ninjas displayed by the Sarutobi family can reach one-fifth of Konoha, and they are all elites above chunin. Those genin, those who are underage, those who have not come forward, and those who have retired, they still have two thousand at home.

Not too much, right?

According to the ratio of ninjas ten to one, the Sarutobi family has a population of at least 60,000, accounting for nearly a quarter of the total population of Konoha.

In the 60th year of Konoha, the three powerful families when Konoha was founded, Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga together were not even a fraction of the size of the Sarutobi family. The Sarutobi family actually emptied Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is so greedy that even Captain Chiang of the Transportation Brigade must be admired by him. He is exactly like Mr. Xu Ge of Konoha. PS1

Aburame Tetsumaru estimated that when the ninja school starts enrolling students, there will be no famous forbidden techniques such as "Eight Gate Dungeon" and "Spiritual Transformation Technique" to be learned. In another year, even B-level ninjutsu will disappear, and he has missed the best.

Time to learn ninjutsu.

The true path of ninjutsu has been cut off, and the Aburame family has no inheritance of taijutsu or illusion. Aburame Tetsumaru has no choice but to focus on parasitic insects, trying to seek innovation and change based on the family inheritance, and get out of the world.

A new road.

PS1: Xu Ge Lao, Xu Jie, was born in Huating, Songjiang (now Shanghai) in the Ming Dynasty. He was the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty and a famous honest and capable minister. Xu Jie lived in a small courtyard in BJ, ate vegetarian food, and wore clothes and patches. His greatest achievement was

Overthrew the treacherous minister Yan Song.

When Yan Song, the corrupt official, ransacked his house, he owned 50,000 acres of land and nearly 3 million taels of property.

When the upright official Xu Jie retired, his family owned 600,000 acres of grain fields and 150,000 acres of mulberry fields, which was the entire Huating County and half of Qingpu County.

The Xu family also employs more than 10,000 textile workers, produces silk worth 300,000 taels per year, and is also involved in private salt and sea trade and other hugely profitable businesses. It is conservatively estimated that the annual income exceeds 2 million.

And when these two people were admitted to Jinshi, they were both poor scholars who didn't have enough to eat.
