Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

"Danzo? He who has always been mercenary is actually against it?"

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said, "This guy can be considered a martial artist."

Unlike the old man who accepted his old age and turned to civilian politics, Danzo still spent a lot of time improving his own strength. Not to mention Ninjutsu training, he also placed his hope on regaining his youth through the use of first-generation cells.

On the other hand, Koharu and Mito Monobu, who were transferred to the dormitory, were far inferior to these two. They looked like they were blinded by power, but they forgot that their qualifications were gained through fighting on the battlefield.

Orochimaru licked his lips, "Two old guys, just for some benefit, put on such a miserable appearance, it's really..."

"You can't say that, everyone has their own position."

On the side, the djinn floating in the air made a rare distinction for the two consultant elders, and said with a smile,

"You are fighting on the battlefield, but they are operating in the village. They are in different locations, and the things they see are naturally different. In their eyes, Konoha is not just a mercenary, but also a labor force.

Business organizations have to focus on credibility."

Orochimaru frowned, "I know that..."

"You don't know clearly enough. You are standing too high and looking down is distorted."

"After all, you are a Sannin of Konoha, with extraordinary strength. The biggest trouble you have encountered since childhood is that war has deprived you of relatives and friends. You cannot know everything, and you cannot live forever."

The Djinn smiled, "But world peace, omniscience, immortality...these goals are equally difficult for anyone."

"In addition, all the troubles you encounter can be solved as long as you work hard, so you 'believe in forging iron and being strong yourself', thinking that you can solve all troubles by just improving yourself."

"Of course there is no problem in improving one's abilities, but this is actually a bit one-sided... ordinary ninjas can't do it, and those businessmen also have their own choices."

"For example, the merchants who originally issued employment missions in Konoha no longer come and choose other ninja villages. What can you do?"

"Are you going to use illusions to control them, or are you going to threaten them with violence and kill their whole family if they don't come?"

Orochimaru remained silent.

Illusion control, violent coercion...it is not that no one has done these, but only those small ninja villages who cannot stand up to the stage, or wandering ninjas will use this method.

It is impossible for Konoha to do this. Once a mistake is made and exposed, it will be a huge scandal.

By that time, businessmen from other countries will never be able to come again, let alone those from our own country.

This will be very troublesome. You must know that employment tasks account for a huge proportion of Konoha's income.

Force is a great deterrent when not used, but pure force has the opposite effect.

Of course, this can entirely be attributed to lack of ability.

Controlling one person will cause problems, but controlling them all will be fine. Intimidating a merchant is not possible, but threatening them together with the people who can protect them, and killing them all if they don't come, can solve the problem.

This is indeed a direction for efforts.

Orochimaru licked his lips. The Djinn's assessment of him was correct. He was familiar with this method and liked this method.

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood Uchiha Madara's thinking when he formulated the 'Eye of the Moon' plan.

——What other people think has nothing to do with me. They don’t listen to me just because I’m not strong enough or my methods are not ruthless enough.

The strong man who is as famous as the First Hokage is also an absolutely confident master, and is even more extreme than himself.

But this kind of behavior is definitely a psychotic behavior.

"It seems you already have some understanding."

The Djinn raised his eyebrows, "Besides, the idea of ​​'the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley' is actually very simple. When it comes to business, reputation is the most important thing. For example, in the world before me, a certain treasure, a certain thing..."

"Back then, Dongfang's business was booming, but their boss made some lifestyle problems and was framed, and then..."

"...The situation in the ninja world is the same now. Konoha is not the only ninja village. Others, such as Kumogakure, Iwagakure... and even many small ninja villages, are also good choices."

"Why take the risk and choose a ninja village with a bad reputation?"

"Compared to ability and quality, reputation is sometimes more important, especially when making comparisons."

Orochimaru's expression changed for a while, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

No one had ever told him these things, or someone had said them and then forgotten them in a flash. He had more important things to do and didn't take them seriously.

But the djinn will listen to what he says, and he can also think.

And if we think about it along this line of thinking, it seems that the concerns about Koharu and Mito Monobu sleeping together are not unreasonable.

For the sake of Konoha's reputation, it seems that sacrificing a Hizashi is not unacceptable, and it is not forced by the Hokage family.

Even though the so-called "life for life" would damage the village's power, they probably considered that the power would be enough.

Konoha will not lose an elite jounin instead of the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world.

"This...is kind of bad."

Orochimaru exhaled and had a solemn expression on his face, but he understood the key to the problem.

Unlike him, Koharu and Mito Kaden who moved to the dormitory considered the interests of the middle and lower-level ninjas in the village. They accounted for the largest proportion of the ninjas in Konoha and digested most of the tasks, but they were not as powerful as 'Blue Blue'.

The fierce beast "Konoha Sannin" has such a famous name.

If the village's reputation declines, they will be the most severely affected.

And once the ecosystem in which middle- and lower-level ninjas obtain rewards is destroyed, in the long run, the top-level ninjas based on it will also collapse.

It may not be that serious, but it will also show signs of decline like Sunagakure Village.

In comparison, the benefits promised in the previous agreement seemed not worth mentioning.

Jiraiya, who was waiting on the side, saw Orochimaru speak, and his heart moved, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Orochimaru shook his head, but looked at the djinn in the sky, "I always feel that something is wrong. There are so many powerful ninjas in Konoha, how can they be so restricted?"

Yes, there were constraints. The two consultant elders would rather lose the prestige of the village than preserve their reputation. This was the choice they made under the force of that invisible constraint.

"Well, maybe this should be said to be the fault of the First Hokage?"

The Djinn rubbed his chin and raised his brows slightly.

"He created the 'ninja village' model, gathering 99% of the country's ninjas, which completely distinguished ninjas from ordinary people."

"But whether you are a ninja or an ordinary person, you all need to eat, and the former have a larger appetite."

"Ninjas are not engaged in production and have to live off ordinary people. They seem to be superior to others, but they cannot really enslave them, so it is normal for them to suffer some constraints under the surface."

Orochimaru played with the wine glass in his hand, silently digesting what the djinn said.

After a long while, he asked with his mind, "Then how can we get rid of these constraints?"

Konoha's ninja community is his basic base, and it is in his interest to allow this leek field to grow better and faster.

Although he has not yet found a suitable harvesting method, he has a hunch that he will be able to use these people soon.

"It sounds like it's actually very simple."

The Djinn smiled and said, "As long as those ordinary people are no longer members of the Fire Nation, but civilians who belong to Konoha."
