Chapter 388 Food Crisis!

Konoha Village!

It was completely gloomy at this time.

The reason can be seen just by looking at Tanaka outside the village.

The golden rice fields are indeed beautiful, but countless villagers fainted from crying.

Everyone knows how quickly genetically modified seeds degrade. Only God knows what they will look like after a few crops.

Anyway, Konoha is in tragedy this time.

The seeds distributed to villagers by the village occupy more than 80% of the rice fields.

The remaining 20% ​​is not because the villagers don't listen to the higher-ups, but because they don't have that many seeds.

It's better now. It's just taller but not tasseled. Even if it does, it's not much. How can we not make the villagers despair?

This grain output may be less than half of normal times.

You know, although Konoha's annual food production cannot meet all consumption, it can still meet most of the needs. Coupled with some purchases, there is always no shortage of food.

But now that something has happened, the amount of food that needs to be purchased is not a small amount.

Even if the food piles up and rots in the nobles' warehouses, it doesn't mean that Konoha can easily purchase it.

First is the relationship!

The nobles are not short of your money. If the relationship is not in place, they will not sell it to you at all.

Then comes the trouble!

Because food cannot be concentrated together, but is stored in warehouses in various places, making it more difficult to transport it.

Anyway, in one sentence, food procurement is not like other things.

Large quantity, low price, difficult to transport!

Except during wars, caravans generally do not focus on this aspect of business, and Konoha's previous food shortages were exclusively purchased.

Now, if you want to purchase additional large quantities of grain, it is no longer a question of money, but a question of efficiency.

And it will cost more.

Although the current price of food is not as exaggerated as it was during the Great Ninja War, it still remains at around 50,000 taels per ton.

If you purchase tens of thousands of tons, it will cost...more than a billion taels.

Simply heartless!

Anyway, Dohei is going to kill Konoha with one blow.

Now the only one that can meet Konoha's needs and facilitate procurement is the castle tower.

Of course, if Konoha would rather be slaughtered by those greedy nobles than purchase high-priced food, then he has nothing to say.

"Let's go!"

Dohei released the transformation technique with a smile on his face and walked towards the gate of Konoha.

This time they came back openly, so there was no need to hide their identity. As for the caravan they protected? .

Still dozens of kilometers away!

As for the reward, they naturally don’t want it.

"Lord Dohei!"

The gatekeepers have changed.

They have become the two 'door gods', Gang Zi Tie and Shenyue Izumo. The reason why Six Paths chose to attack from the sky because they did not dare to face them directly was born because of them.

After a few secret glances, Tang Ping felt that he was superficial and could not see the true strength of the two of them at all.

"Um!"

After nodding and saying hello, he entered Konoha with Hinata Cangyue and Guren.

Konoha remains prosperous.

But if you look closely, you will find that they lack some confidence on their faces.

The Nine-Tails Rebellion!

The blow was too great.

Before this, no one would believe that Konoha would be attacked.

In the past, Shadow Rock was blown up by a detonating talisman, and it could be said to be a conspiracy.

However, the Nine-Tails destroyed a large area despite the resistance of countless ninjas, causing considerable damage. To this day, they are still deeply afraid of the huge Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

At the same time, the business side is actually not as good as before.

It is not the environmental impact, but the emergence of the new commercial center of the castle tower, which has begun to divert the resources of Konoha Village.

Whoosh!

A masked figure suddenly appeared in front of the three people.

It's ANBU!

"Lord Dohei, the Third Hokage invites you!"

This ANBU directly explained his purpose.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be an 'invitation', but a direct 'summon'.

At the same time, judging from the title, you can understand Tang Ping's current status.

Even elite jounin, such as Kakashi, are addressed by their first names without adding the suffix 'sir' at the end.

"In your reply to the Third Hokage, just say that I will come forward after the Kumo ninja delegation arrives!"

Tang Ping waved the other party to retreat.

joke!

Isn't it just to discuss how to deal with Yun Nin? Do you really think he doesn't know? .

He was too lazy to waste time and just let F4 discuss it himself.

He has given face to come to the platform, but if he really wants to obey his words, you may not wake up.

In the past, he only obeyed because he was still young.

But now that he is already so strong, if he still obeys, wouldn't this strength and power be in vain? .

Even if he doesn't rebel and uses his identity as 'Konoha' to suck the village's blood, it doesn't mean he has no temper.

And it's not like he has no precedent.

Just like Tsunade, she would not give any respect to the old Biden and would only go too far.

Therefore, what does it matter if she also enjoys the treatment that Tsunade can enjoy?

In terms of background, he is indeed inferior to Tsunade, but in terms of strength and power, he is stronger, right? .

With this confidence, it's no wonder that Tang Ping would reply to ANBU like this.

"Can…"

The ANBU wanted to say something more, but was interrupted.

Because of the strong momentum, he couldn't finish his words at all.

Orochimaru was able to suppress Kakashi with his murderous aura before, so it wouldn't be too much for Dohei to suppress this ANBU with his aura, right? .

In the end, the ANBU could only go back and report.

Hokage's office!

The F4 who gathered together for a small meeting fell silent after listening to the ANBU report.

"You go down first!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen let the ANBU out first.

After the others left, Xiaochun went to bed before speaking.

"How dare that brat ignore your summons, Hiruzen!"

It was her suggestion to call the other party.

After all, the Cloud Ninja Mission will be arriving soon, so they naturally have to discuss internally how to deal with it when they arrive.

I originally thought that this was an opportunity for the other party to participate in high-level affairs of Konoha, but I didn't expect that the other party was so ignorant of praise.

In fact, Koharu was very dissatisfied with Uchiha Dohei and Koharu.

After all, there have been conflicts before, and various subsequent performances have made her increasingly dissatisfied. Now a direct slap in the face naturally makes her unable to bear it.

But even if she no longer wants to endure it, she must endure it.

Because the other party is not one of those little ninjas who can be manipulated at will.

Just because she can endure it, doesn't mean that others can.

"Hiruzen, let the ANBU arrest and punish this guy who dares to disobey the Hokage's orders!"

Danzo spoke with joy.

good!

Very good!

He was worried that he couldn't find a way to deal with Tang Ping, but he didn't expect that the other party would send him an excuse.

"Danzo, this is not an order from the village!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi rejected Danzo's suggestion with a headache.

If it is an official order from the village, disobedience can indeed be punished.

But a formal order requires a mission scroll, but a casual summons can't really be said to be a punishment.

They are ninjas and not samurai, so they are really not that rigid.

Like Tsunade, she never gave herself the honor of being the Hokage, ignored all kinds of orders, and kicked her whenever the office wanted. If she really wanted to punish crimes so strictly, she would be the first to be punished.

"But Hiruzen, he completely ignores you, the Hokage!"

Danzo secretly gave Dopei eye drops.

"Let's discuss how to solve this food crisis first!"

Mito Kadoyan spoke out to save the situation, and at the same time glared at Danzo fiercely.

As an old friend who has known each other since childhood, how could he not see that the other party was quarreling with each other.

Food crisis!

This is also a huge problem that Konoha encountered during this period.

When Danzo heard this, he immediately became quiet.

Because most of this pot is from his roots.

After all, several people strongly opposed starting large-scale planting of Tenshu No. 1 now, but Danzo felt that they were too conservative, so he tried every means to change the rice seeds.

As long as the villagers can get a good harvest, it can bring him a lot of prestige and accumulate enough capital for the top Hokage.

It's a pity that it was a mess.

As a result, Konoha's food production this year is at most less than half of previous years, and it is necessary to find ways to purchase a large amount of food.
