Lord God Investigator

The central area of ​​Konoha Village is located under the Hokage Rock. There are many important places for ninjas, the most important of which are the Konoha Ninja School, the Hokage's House and the Jonin Standby.

As the name suggests, the Ninja School is a place where ninjas learn and cultivate fresh blood. It is the hope of the future of Konoha Village. Therefore, it is very valued and is located in the center of Konoha Village.

The Hokage's House is the village chief's home that has been passed down from generation to generation since the first generation of Hokage. It is the administrative center of Konoha Village and the Hokage-sama has his office here. In addition, the Hokage's House also keeps many forbidden scrolls and confidential documents. When Naruto stole the forbidden scrolls and learned the art of multiple shadow clones, he sneaked into the Hokage's House.

The Hokage's office on the third floor of the Hokage's House is where the Hokage assigns tasks to the ninja teams. At the same time, if anyone has important matters 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 there after getting permission. Meet the Hokage in the Hokage's office.

The Jounin Standby is located in a small circular building next to the Hokage's home. Jounin who have no missions in the village are always stationed here, waiting for the Hokage's orders and preparing for emergencies.

Tang Xiaotian, who was disguised as a sound ninja, could not get close to the central area of ​​Konoha Village. Once she got close, patrolling ninjas would come forward to stop her. Luo Feng sent her to find a dormitory to find a place for the team to stay.

Luo Feng and Ai Ou went straight to the Hokage's house and submitted an application to meet the Hokage at the reception desk on the first floor. The reason for meeting the Hokage was written on the application: "Foreign businessman Bredero and his subordinates requested to meet the Hokage. Negotiate business cooperation matters.”

After submitting the application, the two were not immediately taken to the Hokage's office. The Hokage had many things to do, and there were many people who wanted to see him and they had to wait in line.

Luo Feng was not in a hurry and drank tea with Ai Ou in the waiting room. After waiting for about three hours, a middle-aged ninja with two scars on his face and his hair tied up like a samurai bun pushed in and informed the Hokage. Your Excellency has time to see them now.

The appearance of this ninja was very obvious, and Luo Feng recognized him at a glance. He was the father of Nara Shikamaru, Nara Shikaku, who was famous for his outstanding intelligence among the twelve heroes of Konoha.

Nara Shikakuno is Konoha's military advisor, equivalent to the Hokage's chief secretary. He is a smart and capable think tank with superior intelligence.

Under the leadership of Nara Shikaku, Luo Feng and Ao walked upstairs to the door of the Hokage's office.

Nara Shikaku knocked on the door and heard an old "Come in" voice of permission from inside, then opened the door and led Luo Feng and the others in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a huge desk filled with scrolls. The third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting behind the desk, smoking a pipe in one hand to refresh himself, and flipping through a scroll of ninjas in the other hand. Mission report.

It seems that letting Luo Feng and Ai Ou wait for three hours is not a sign of neglect, but that the Hokage is really busy with his work.

Being Hokage is not an easy job. Naruto thought that Hokage was very beautiful and great, but he didn't know how complicated Hokage's daily work was. When he really became Hokage, he was so busy that he had no time to spend with his family. , I wonder if I will have any doubts about my childhood dream.

Nara Shikamaru bowed respectfully and said loudly: "Lord Hokage, the two 'Dragon Kingdom' businessmen who asked to see you are here."

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the scroll, raised his head, and observed Luo Feng and Ao carefully.

Nara Shikaku did not leave, but walked straight to the Hokage's desk and stood behind Sarutobi Hiruzen with his hands behind his back.

The chief secretary of the Hokage is also responsible for protecting the Hokage. Of course, this office also has a secret compartment for hiding people. In the event of an emergency, the ANBU ninjas on standby can appear at any time to provide support.

Luo Feng smiled slightly, the flesh on his fat face balled up, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Although this is our first meeting, I have admired the reputation of Hokage-sama for a long time! We, the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, came to the Ninja Continent to seek business cooperation. Friends, please take care of me, Hokage-sama."

As he spoke, Luo Feng stepped forward and extended his fat hand to Sarutobi Hiruzen, eager to shake his hand.

This kind of etiquette is rare in the ninja world. Sarutobi Hiruzen 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 he retracted it awkwardly. He then reached into his coat pocket, but this move aroused Nara Shikaku's vigilance.

Nara Shikaku made a hand seal pose and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Oh, don't be nervous."

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

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

Sarutobi Hiruzen became more and more confused about what this wealthy businessman who claimed to be from the overseas "Dragon Kingdom" wanted to do. He just frowned and watched indifferently. His time was precious, but he did not want to waste it on such a meaningless meeting.

Seeing no response from the Hokage, Luo Feng took out his cigar cutters, cut open the cigar, and held it in his mouth.

Ai Ou came forward very discerningly and took out the cigar lighter to help the boss light it.

Taking a deep breath of the cigar, Luo Feng opened his mouth and blew out a cloud of smoke, showing a happy expression, showing the image of a wealthy upstart businessman with low taste and low quality.

"Your name is...Bredro? President of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little impatient and asked straight to the point: "Excuse me, why do you come to Konoha Village?"

Luo Feng did not answer immediately, but walked to the window of the Hokage's office, stood by the window, and pointed at the streets of Konoha Village while smoking a cigar.

"Too shabby, too backward, too poor!"

In a very regretful tone, Luo Feng shook his head as he spoke: "I thought that the most powerful military organization in the most powerful country in the Ninja Continent was so prosperous and prosperous, but when I arrived at Konoha Village, I realized why it was with a group of people. The Ninja Village in Guoqiping will be named after 'village', you are really a poor village worthy of the name!"

Veins appeared on Nara Shikaku's forehead. Konohagakure was already considered a relatively prosperous city in the ninja world, but it was devalued as worthless in the eyes of this foreign businessman.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also darkened his face, looking very unhappy.

"Lord Hokage, I heard that the main income of Konoha Village is divided into two parts. One is relying on the assistance of the Country of Fire, and the other is commissions earned by ninjas completing tasks."

Luo Feng turned around, faced Hiruzen Sarutobi, and blew out a smoke ring: "Actually, there is another income that has been ignored because the amount is very small, and that is local taxation."

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

Showing a confident smile, Luo Feng spoke eloquently: "The Fire Country's aid is fixed every year. No matter how hard we try, it will not increase significantly. The number of ninjas to undertake tasks is also limited, and it is impossible for the people to suddenly generate a large number of people." Task requirements, competing with other Ninja Village ninjas for task shares will cause friction or even war, and the cost will be too high.

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

The most important thing is that the increase in local prosperity and taxation will not offend the interests of ninja villages in other countries. Ninjas do not need to risk their lives to perform tasks to earn commissions, which greatly reduces bloodshed and sacrifice. It is a path to peaceful rise. . "

Luo Feng puffed up his belly and pointed at his bulbous nose and continued: "And I am a very good investor. I want to invest a large amount of money in Konoha Village to carry out comprehensive industrial and commercial development. Shirano Hokage Are you interested, sir?"

"Investment? Industrial and commercial development?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Luo Feng's words and his anger gradually dissipated.

The Third Hokage is a pacifist who wants to maintain the stability of Konoha Village and protect the villagers from harm. Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has experienced several ninja wars, has seen too much bloodshed and sacrifice, and stands by Hokage every day. On the roof of the house, looking at the ninja school in the distance, watching the lively young generation in the village growing up healthily, I really don't want them to bear the pain of the wars of their fathers.

However, the resources of the ninja continent are limited and there are many ninja villages. The source of income for the ninjas to survive is firstly serving the country of fire, and secondly taking on dangerous missions. The destiny of the ninja seems to be bloodshed and sacrifice, and they can only use their lives and Blood is exchanged for resources needed for survival.

If we can use the peaceful rise method to open up another income channel, it will be a very attractive future development path.

However, the identity of the businessman in front of him was suspicious, his behavior was vulgar, and his character did not seem very trustworthy. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly moved, he still asked reservedly.

"Chairman Bredlow, how much money do you plan to invest in Konoha Village? And how will you invest it?"

"Hokage-sama, this is also a question I want to ask you. How much money do you want me to invest?"

Nara Shikaku, who was standing behind the Hokage, said in surprise: "Shouldn't you be the one to ask for the investment amount? If we ask you to invest ten trillion taels, can you come up with it?"

Luo Feng spread his hands with a smile: "Of course you can! In the dialect of our 'Dragon Kingdom', sprinkle water. But I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it. Doesn't this mean that I paid for the leaf village? "

"Nani?"

This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised. Nara Shikaku just retorted with an exaggerated statement, but he didn't expect that the other party agreed without hesitation.

Ten trillion taels! That’s ten trillion and two Fire Nation currencies.

This is an astronomical figure. The commission for completing an S-level mission for an elite jounin of Konoha Village is only more than one million taels. A person like Tsunade Senju, one of the three ninjas who has been famous for a long time and has been growing stronger, has accumulated missions over decades as a ninja. , he only completed nearly a hundred S-level missions and earned hundreds of millions in commissions in his lifetime.

However, she lost all the money gambling.

And ten trillion taels is equivalent to the commission income of tens of thousands of Tsunade-level ninjas' lifetime missions.

There are only three ninjas of Tsunade's level in Konoha Village, known as the Sannin of Konoha. The number of other ninjas who have completed S-level tasks is far lower than that of the Sannin.

Ten trillion taels is enough to employ all the ninjas in Konoha Village for a lifetime. According to the principle of ninjas performing tasks, they must be responsible to their employers, abide by the employment contract signed when undertaking the task, and cannot tear it up at will.

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

This is no different from buying Konoha Village!

"Impossible!" Nara Shikaku shook his head and said: "The total amount of currency issued by the Fire Country is less than ten trillion taels. You are just bragging!"
