Chapter 382: Prepare for a rainy day, have you heard of it?

"Haven't you all suffered enough from the Second and Third Ninja World Wars?"

"........"

Good guy!

You are worthy of being Uchiha Yan, you even dare to say such things!

Everyone was secretly surprised and subconsciously looked at the Third Hokage and Mito Kado En.

Because these two were the protagonists of the village during the Second and Third Ninja World Wars, most of the village decisions were made by them.

In other words, Konoha suffered heavy losses in the Second and Third Ninja World Wars, which were closely related to these two people.

"......"

The Third Hokage's face darkened.

Mizuto Menyan smiled awkwardly, lowered his head and said nothing.

"Everyone, the village's economy is affected, and the lives of the tens of millions of ordinary villagers in Konoha will also be greatly affected. This is probably not what you want to see, right?"

It's not a big deal in normal times, but once it's wartime and the villagers are too resentful, it will be a problem.

The best example is that the Third Hokage was forced to give up his position and forcibly pushed Minato to the throne.

Because the Third Hokage couldn't hold on any longer, Minato was pushed out, which was considered an explanation to the villagers.

Konoha was really miserable at that time, both militarily and economically.

Yan tapped the desktop with his finger and continued:

"We must take precautions against the losses we suffered in the past, rather than forgetting the pain once the scars have healed over time."

"This batch of minerals is particularly important to the village, because they can drive many jobs in the village and increase the income of many villagers, thereby driving other industries. The situation in the past where the economy completely stagnated after the outbreak of war will not happen again."

“Even if the war could affect us, it would not happen in a short time.

Before that, selling certain war supplies will not affect the village's war operations. That's all I want to say. If you have any other ideas, please bring them up together."

After saying this, seeing that the Third Hokage was hesitant to speak, Yan immediately added a sentence.

"As for the opinion of the Mist Village, there is no need to say anything. As one of the five major ninja villages, when did it become the Mist Village's turn to dictate to Konoha?

To be honest, the Mist Village has not yet been held accountable for inexplicably declaring war on another village during the Third Ninja World War!

Who we sell things to and what we sell are our freedoms in Konoha, and have nothing to do with the Mist Village."

It is our freedom to decide what to sell. It is not your turn to tell us what to do, and you have no right to do so.

Konoha’s attitude is that simple.

Yan's words directly blocked the Third Hokage.

He originally wanted to say that the village's sale of war supplies might cause a backlash from the Mist Village, but now, there is no need to say that.

The attitude is so tough. No matter what Konoha does, it is not your turn in the Mist Village to complain.

Instead of taking the time to attack Konoha, you might as well use the time to transport troops.

The Sand Village is ready for war, but you, the Mist Village, are still hesitating.

Compared to the speed at which other villages launched wars, the Mist Village was indeed a bit slow. It's not that they wanted to delay, but their geographical location was too special.

It is impossible to rush into the Kingdom of Wind quickly.

Konoha and the Iwagakure would not agree to let them pass through the territories of many small countries, and they would be strangled by Konoha and the Iwagakure.

In desperation, the Mist Village could only choose to attack from the sea. As those who understand know, the speed of sea transportation is shockingly slow.

Look, after shouting the slogan for so long, only a small number of Anbu ninjas have sneaked into the Wind Country and are fighting with the Anbu ninjas of the Sand Village.

As for the main force...it will take some time before they can set foot on the territory of the Wind Kingdom.

To put it bluntly, when the envoys from the Mist Village arrive in Konoha, the main force of the Mist Village may not set foot on the territory of the Wind Kingdom.

In the absence of steel battleships and large transport ships, the country of water relies on the speed of wooden warships to transport troops and supplies...

Eating shit is not as good as eating a hot bite.

Not to mention, the Cloud Ninja Village has already begun to develop territory on the sea.

This kind of behavior is very typical of the Kumogakure, they are taking advantage of your inability to do anything to cause trouble.

Regardless of whether there will be accusations or not, just take advantage of it first.

In the past, the Mist Village would have definitely fought back, but now they have no intention of paying attention to the Cloud Village and only have eyes for the Sand Village.

Yan's speech ended. The Third Hokage and Mitomon En had nothing to say. There were some things they didn't dare to say because saying them would attract hatred.

At this moment, the two old guys saw clearly that nine out of ten people sitting in the conference room disliked them.

How dare I say something that would offend others when I can’t even get a few allies?

After Yan, others gradually expressed their views and put forward some opinions, but most of them were meaningless and ended up being the same.

It looks like it's time to end it.

Just as Tsunade was about to announce the end of the meeting, Yan stood up.

Seeing this, Tsunade subconsciously put her raised hand back.

"Here, I would like to entrust a very important task to the Sandaime-sama and Elder Menyan. I wonder if the two elders are willing to help the village solve its problems?"

"What mission?"

The Third Hokage was stunned for a moment.

He really didn't expect that there would be a task assigned to him.

Doesn’t this guy want to keep me at home and let me rest, not allowing me to do anything?

Could it be some offensive or troublesome tasks?

Ever since the incident with Utatane Koharu, Mito Kado En has been worried that he would be affected as well, so he has lived a very low-key life in the past few years and basically never went to see the Third Hokage, for fear of being watched by Yan.

Now Yan suddenly threw out a task and specifically asked the Third Hokage to complete it. Mito Menyan suddenly became nervous.

He was afraid that Yan would give them a mission that would trap someone or take their life.

Once you get this kind of task, unless you can complete it perfectly, it will have a huge impact and will ruin you badly.

“Buy food.”

Yan clearly said:

“Although Konoha is not short of food, we need to stockpile as much as possible before the current food prices and various daily necessities increase in price.

It just so happens that the Ministry of Finance has a lot of extra money now, and I hope you two can go to Daming Prefecture and buy more."

"why?"

The Third Hokage didn't quite understand: "Yan, the village is not short of food and various daily necessities. If we stockpile a large amount..."

"Even if there is no shortage, we still need to prepare in case the price skyrocketed."

Yan interrupted the Third Hokage.
