Red sand dust

Not only are there a large number of tasks, but there are also special types with considerable requirements, such as operating puppet machines, aerospace surveying and mapping, chart proofreading, spreading pesticides, aerial sowing of pastures, etc. If you don’t know puppetry, can’t fly, or don’t have any special talents, It's basically impossible to complete.

These tasks are very directional and are basically tailor-made for Suna Ninja.

Most of the Suna ninja who are currently in Konoha Village on official business are members of the air combat unit, with a small number of administrative officers, puppet machine maintainers, etc.

According to the current trend, it won't be long before there won't be many Suna ninjas left in the "Relief Team".

"There is nothing we can do about this..."

Daimaru spread his hands without changing his expression.

"Sunagakure Village needs a lot of manpower. Isn't it normal to hire outside forces to help build homes?"

"What you said..."

Kurotsuchi curled his lips,

"The five major ninja villages are proud. Isn't it too imprudent to do this?"

"It's not a top secret. It's natural to seek help from foreign aid..."

I don’t know what Iwa Ninja’s stance is when he says this. When Onoki hired rebel ninja organizations, including the Akatsuki organization, to manipulate the coup in a small country, he didn’t feel sorry for them. In contrast, Suna Ninja had a clear price tag for his work. The mission was completed, at least in terms of procedures, Daimaru felt there was no problem,

"In addition, I want to remind you! Although the headquarters of the 'Quick Rescue Team' is in Konoha Village, and its actions generally cannot exceed the rules, it is not a vassal of Konoha ninja..."

Most matters still depend on the opinion of the Leaf Village, but Daimaru, the nominal leader, is not without real power.

Nara Shikamaru frowned slightly and asked tentatively:

"I don't question the Lord Commander's intention. I'm just using the power of the 'Rescue Team' to serve Sunagakure Village. Thousands of kilometers away and no supervision means, will there be any problems?"

"It's normal to have problems..."

Daimaru smiled and responded nonchalantly,

"For example, you two, Konoha ninja and Iwa ninja respectively, don't you stand on the side of the 'Relief Team'? It's not like the Suna ninja mobilizes the power of the 'Relief Team' without giving them money. As for the reward, It’s not a question of matching the tasks. Everyone is very free, and having time to earn some ‘extra money’ is also a wish of many people..."

"Isn't this too unorganized?"

After Nara Shikamaru thought about it for a while, he sighed helplessly,

"It's late autumn now. Judging from the workload, we won't be able to come back for a long time..."

"Originally, I didn't have the idea of ​​being a good teacher and explained too much to you. However, in order to allow you to work with peace of mind, I still have to explain it clearly first..."

Daimaru smiled casually and said,

"You may have a misunderstanding, thinking that the 'Quick Rescue Team' and the 'Sniper Team' are similar to the departments of each ninja village, but the actual situation is that both are international cooperation forces under the 'Five Shadows Conference' system. In essence, But it is a for-profit 'civilian organization', in other words, it is a social group..."

"How... is this possible? Ninjas are not such a profession..."

Nara Shikamaru was stunned and asked in disbelief,

"Otherwise, why are powers like the tailed beasts and jinchuriki given to us for safekeeping?"

This is the "strategic weapon" of the major ninja villages. Does a non-governmental organization have the qualifications to govern?

"I know you don't understand..."

Daimaru explained in a persuasive manner,

"If the 'Quick Aid Team' makes a profit, it is responsible for 'dividends' according to the originally negotiated share. If it suffers a loss, it will naturally have to share the losses. Now, we still need 'funds' supported by the major ninja villages to maintain operation. Of course, this is paid with the 'Jinchūriki Service Fee' and is also the main part of the 'Relief Team''s income. However, just because we are not making money at the moment does not mean that we have to enjoy the support as a matter of course. This is just a policy for special times. If If you don’t want to be disbanded in the future, you have to make a living on your own..."

The "Quick Rescue Team" mainly operates in the Country of Fire. This is the result of a compromise between all parties and is in line with the interests of most members.

However, no matter what the original intention is, any cooperative organization is generally an unofficial for-profit organization, or is on the way to becoming a "civilian organization".

Having political color and influence does not mean that they are really an official department.

Even if one of their components includes the real government, the Ninja Village.

"What we 'sell' is not goods, but 'sell' force and provide services to protect and serve the tailed beasts and jinchūriki, and we do not exclude other income!"

Seeing the two people looking a little confused, Daimaru chuckled:

"Perhaps the high-sounding words above hide the truth too deeply. To sum it up, there is only one sentence: both the 'Relief Team' and the 'Sniper Team' make a living by 'selling' the concept of world peace. This is also the basis of their existence!”

"Selling peace?"

Nara Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing.

"Because the 'Five Kage Conference' is the 'supreme power' that regulates the conflicts among the major ninja villages and maintains a balance as much as possible without breaking out the ninja war. The organizations established under its system naturally make a living from it..."

"Your little mind works very fast, and you are indeed a smart person with a reputation!"

Not only the ninja world, but also Daimaru's previous life.

From FIFA, the International Olympic Committee and other major sports federations, to animal protection, environmental protection, the Red Cross, the World Bank, etc., covering politics, economy, society, culture, sports, health, education, environment, Security, poverty, population, women and children, and many other fields related to human survival and development, almost all of them can gather people's hearts with abstract ideas.

It is undeniable that most of them have positive effects, but in essence, they are only groups formed because of common interests and are influenced by higher-level interests.

"It's different from the one-hand payment and one-hand delivery model, and the model where ninjas complete commissions and collect mission commissions, but it's essentially the same thing! The original intention of our 'Quick Rescue Team' was to coordinate the tailed beasts and jinchuriki Contradictions, and contributing to the peace of the ninja world, this is also the foundation of existence! So, let's look at the "Rescue Team" entrusted by Sunagakure Village to complete the task. It is essentially the same as sending a courier. Everyone takes what they need... …”

The mystery of this is something that few people truly understand.

There is a "Five Kage Conference" to resolve conflicts among the five major ninja villages, but the "Five Kage Conference" is not a ninja village, and its coercive power is actually worrying. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a ninja war.

Since the members of the "Rescue Team" and the "Sniper Team" are all ninjas, and most of their work is related to the Ninja Village, it is not surprising that they are mistaken for "Ninja Village" or "Ninja Village Department" in disguise.

"Those members who are working hard are just that. You two are my right-hand men. I hope you won't make a mistake. I'm not asking you to forget your identity as a ninja, but the work of the 'Rescue Team' is actually quite secular in principle. , cannot be judged by the Ninja Code..."

Nara Shikamaru nodded clearly:

"Our 'Quick Aid Team' is a 'for-profit civil society' composed of ninjas that has not yet made a profit. Under the banner of the concept of 'maintaining world peace', obtaining reasonable profits and maintaining the survival of the organization is the first priority. First things first…”

"Yep……"

Daimaru patted Nara Shikamaru's slightly immature shoulder,

"Ninjas are human beings too. They have to support their families. There is no shame in making some money!"

The "Five Kage Conference" and its "Rescue Team" and "Sniper Team" are not completely consistent with the positions of the major ninja villages, so they have to divide their spheres of influence.

A sand ninja commander, equipped with a Konoha ninja permanent secretary and an Iwa ninja permanent secretary, can essentially explain a lot of problems.

If it can have more say, the "Quick Support Team" will be equivalent to a strength amplifier, leveraging more interests for its own use.

Of course, the weak Kiri ninja, the Taki ninja who was unwilling to give, and the isolated Kumo ninja were excluded from the core.

In contrast, Sunagakure Village asked the "idle" "Rescue Team" to help in the name of a formal mission, which is considered very conscientious. Not long ago, Shimura Danzo's move to forcefully recruit the three tails was too crude. .

The headquarters of the "Rescue Team" is located in Konoha Village, which has actually allowed Konoha ninjas to enjoy a lot of benefits. The Suna ninjas went on missions legitimately and obeyed the rules. Even if they didn't see the fifth Hokage, Tsunade, who was not close at hand, they pretended not to see them. What?

Where is the need for Nara Shikamaru, a "jobber", to meddle in other people's business?

Since Daimaru was made the boss of the "Relief Team" after a compromise between all parties, it must have been acquiescence that Suna Ninja would enjoy the dividends of this term.

After the small talk, Kurotsuchi, who had nothing to do with him, bowed politely and left, but Nara Shikamaru thanked him gratefully.

"Some things seem to be separated by a layer of veil, difficult to understand. Only by clearing the fog can we see the truth..."

"Between you and me, there is no need to be overly modest, just because I stand at a higher position and can see further!"

Daimaru reminded kindly,

"A higher status and stronger strength will allow you to understand more of the truth about this world! Work hard, young man. For ninjas, a smart mind is a talent worth relying on, but it is not everything. In the future, after I leave office , you may have to serve the next leader of the 'Quick Rescue Team'. Long-term influence brings real power, and you down-to-earth clerks are the ones who hold the real power of the organization. An iron-clad camp, a flowing leader , the nominal leaders who come and go in a hurry cannot control such a huge organization. The first leader Kakashi Hatake is the founder, so he cannot be generalized. The second leader is me, which is even more special, making you appear to be at a loss. , but the next leader of the 'Quick Rescue Team' will not be so strong..."

"I probably understand!"

At this age, Nara Shikamaru does lack experience, but that doesn't mean he has poor understanding.

As the successor of the Nara family, there is no hope for the Hokage for the time being. The development in Konoha Village has reached a bottleneck. The Senju family and the Uchiha family have disappeared, and the Hyuga family is also crumbling. "Butterfly" is almost the "ceiling" of the ninja clan in Konoha Village, and there is little hope of going further.

While maintaining the current scale, the shortcut to increasing influence is actually right in front of us.

An organization with hundreds of elite ninjas has an immeasurable indirect influence on the number of people, and its business scope covers most of the ninja world. It would be ideal if they could really get a share of the pie, or even become a leader worthy of the name.

"Have you ever thought about becoming Hokage?"

"Do not make jokes……"

Nara Shikamaru laughed at himself. It was not that he had no confidence in himself, but he could see clearly that although "Ino Shikamaru" hugged the thigh of Hokage Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen, he was still a little far away from the core of power.

The "Three Ninjas" and their successors are the heirs who are well-established and popular.

"Actually... you can also think about it..."

Daimaru reminded faintly,

"Your teacher, Sarutobi Asuma, is the son of the Third Generation. The Nara family is not influential enough, and the Sarutobi family may not be ineffective. It is hard to say which one is more popular, bloodline inheritance or master-disciple inheritance..."

After the Fourth Ninja War, Tsunade abdicated and Kakashi Hatake became the Sixth Hokage, with almost no one threatening his status.

However, due to Daimaru's influence, Sarutobi Asuma is still alive today, and it seems that he will live for a long time, and will even have his own daughter soon.

Don’t underestimate the small things of starting a family, marrying a wife and having children.

Those with perseverance have the perseverance to build a happy family. Being a good husband and a good father means having good qualities of responsibility and responsibility.

When many government organizations promote cadres, a happy family is also an unwritten criterion. If you don’t have parents to support you, if you don’t have a good wife, you don’t have children to support you, who knows what your character is? If you commit a crime and run away without much scruple, and you can't be caught even if you're caught, who dares to put their hope in you?

In comparison, Kakashi Hatake, who has been single for most of his life, is far less trustworthy than Asuma Sarutobi.

The third generation's son or the fourth generation's student still has to fight to see which one will come to the top.

If the bearded man wins by luck in the end, then Nara Shikamaru, who is the proud disciple of the Sixth Generation of Hokage, will naturally rise to the occasion.

The son of the Fourth Hokage who could not even pass the chuunin exam, and a genius student of the Sixth Generation. In more than ten years, the legend of the golden flash has dimmed, but the bearded man is still alive, and Nara Shikamaru may not have surpassed Uzumaki Naruto. Chance.

Nara Shikamaru, who had been stunned for a long time by Daimaru's words, turned around and could no longer see his retreating figure.

"Who among the children who grew up in Konoha Village doesn't want to be Hokage? It's just that there are too many people in front of me, so I don't have much hope. But, listen to what you say..."

His expression changed. After a long time, Nara Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected of that insidious guy who toyed with everyone's applause. After so many years, his evil taste of manipulating people's hearts has still not changed. However, Asuma-sensei is really an entry point right in front of us. …”

It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to come out on top this time, but as Daimaru said, the position of Hokage cannot be held by whoever is better at fighting and contributes more.
