Chapter 103 The key to change! In your hands!
"Konoha, why did the Fifth Hokage suddenly invite us?"
"I don't know. We are just grain merchants, not ninjas."
"It's better to go over and take a look. If you offend him by letting the dove go, the gain will outweigh the loss..."
Driven by Namikaze Mirai, most of the Fire Country grain merchants soon received the news.
The Fifth Hokage of Konoha invited them to Konoha Village to observe the ceremony.
And, something big has been announced!
Most grain merchants expressed doubts about this matter. Konoha is a military organization and is not involved in production activities.
Apart from the need for food supplies during wars and occasionally hiring Konoha ninjas to transport food, they had almost no other interactions with Konoha.
What is the major change that the Fifth Hokage mentioned?
Despite their doubts, most merchants still decided to set off for Konoha.
Judging from the previous news, the Fifth Hokage was a very powerful person.
If you offend him over such a trivial matter, you will be in big trouble.
That Hokage only needs to find a random hat to put on his head, and everything they have worked hard for over the years can be destroyed in one fell swoop.
The Five Great Ninja Villages are commonly known as the Five Great Rogues.
These businessmen understand this.
Compared with offending the Hokage, losing some profits is something worth accepting.
Hokage Building.
Conference room on the third floor.
The grain merchants who had come from afar sat uneasily on their seats, looking at the closed environment around them and the Uchiha stationed at the exit.
Cold sweat broke out on many people's foreheads.
Konoha, isn't it going to kill them?
He racked his brains and searched through the things he had done in recent years in a panic, but he couldn't find anything to offend Konoha.
Recalling Namikaze's illustrious reputation in the future, this small conference room has become like a concentration camp in the eyes of many grain merchants.
"Everyone..."
A voice came from the entrance, making the group of grain merchants shiver and subconsciously cast their gaze over.
What caught his eye was a blond figure with a faint smile in his royal blue eyes.
"Fifth, fifth generation Hokage..."
"Lord Hokage, we have not offended you, right? Why did you summon us here?"
"Yes! Hokage-sama, if we do something wrong, please forgive me!"
The Uchiha stationed at the entrance looked at the group of grain merchants who almost cried, and they all looked surprised.
What happened to these businessmen?
It's not like Naruto would eat them.
"Everyone, I think you have made a mistake. I came to you because I want to lead you to participate in a revolution."
Namikaze Mirai smiled slightly.
“Changes in Agriculture.”
Changes in agriculture?
The businessmen who were still panicking a second ago looked at each other with expressions of confusion and disbelief.
what is that?
"Yamato, let's demonstrate it to them!"
"is teacher."
After hearing Namikaze Mirai's order, Yamato responded and walked to the stand in the center of the conference room.
In his hand he held something like a flower pot, filled with soil, and in the other hand, he held a seed.
After ensuring that everyone in the conference room could see clearly, Yamato stuffed the seeds in his hands into the soil and activated the Wood Release Chakra.
The confusion on the faces of the surrounding grain merchants deepened.
What is this doing?
Soon, the confusion on their faces disappeared, replaced by deep shock and disbelief.
The seeds in the pots sprouted quickly and sprung up from the ground like bamboo shoots after the rain, producing heavy ears of rice.
The mouths of the surrounding grain merchants opened to an exaggerated degree, and even their pupils were trembling slightly.
"Mu-mu escape?"
Only the legendary Wood Escape can produce plants so quickly.
This humble-looking brat actually mastered Senju Hashirama's blood inheritance limit!
After the shock brought by Mu Dun subsided, these grain merchants suddenly discovered something that shocked them even more.
The newly grown ears of rice were actually bigger than any other they had ever seen. The heavy ears of wheat were as plump as freshly steamed steamed buns.
"Hybrid rice! This is a brand new rice species developed using the ability of wood escape. It combines the excellent genes of two types of rice. Compared with ordinary rice species, the yield is increased by about 40%."
Four percent? !
The pupils of many grain merchants dilated.
This is a pretty scary number.
As practitioners in the grain industry, they know very well what this number means!
If what Namikaze said in the future is true, it will have a huge impact on the agriculture of the ninja world.
It might actually trigger the agricultural revolution!
"Lord Hokage, can you tell me how much yield per acre can be achieved by planting this kind of rice?"
A grain merchant plucked up the courage to ask.
"A conservative estimate would suggest that the yield per mu can reach 500 kilograms."
Hearing this, many grain traders took a breath of cold air again.
This is a pretty scary number.
Calculated, the improvement has actually exceeded 40%.
The sound of rapid breathing appeared in the conference room. These grain merchants looked at the rice ears in Yamato's hands, and there was even a little bloodshot eyes in their eyes.
What Yamato holds in his hands is no longer an ear of rice, but the key to a new world!
Namikaze Mirai saw this scene and knew that the foreshadowing was enough.
"I plan to set up an agricultural production cooperative in the Land of Fire. Konoha and you will jointly participate in rice planting. Konoha will be responsible for all safety issues encountered during the production process, and the results of production will be shared by everyone. "
The conference room suddenly became quiet.
Some grain merchants were hesitant, some had fiery eyes, and many were still thinking.
Cooperating with Konoha is a challenge that presents both risks and opportunities.
After the emergence of hybrid rice, the food industry of the Ninja world will definitely suffer a huge impact.
Agricultural changes are coming.
If we cannot seize the wind of change, we will only be run over by the wheel of change and become a failed product.
"Cooperation! Cooperation is necessary! With such brand-new rice seeds and technology, are you still worried that the food will not be sold?"
"If hybrid rice can be promoted, it will benefit many people in the ninja world who are hungry!"
"Inventing such a miracle rice seed, Hokage-sama, are you a god who came down to earth to save the ninja world?"
Namikaze Mirai's face remained normal, looking at this scene calmly.
Yamato in the stands was filled with a proud smile.
It turns out that this is the true purpose of Wood Release.
At this moment, his heart was filled with gratitude for Namikaze's future.
Sarutobi Hiruzen would only teach him to develop the lethality of Wood Release, but Namikaze Mirai went straight to the source and found the most suitable direction for Wood Release.
Rice seeds improved by Mudun will save many lives.
Perhaps, the Senju Hashirama-sama who calmed down the troubled times also expected this!
There was a joyful atmosphere in the conference room.
Only a few grain merchants looked extremely ugly, as if they had swallowed a toad alive.
behind them.
It's a famous name.
