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

"Have you not suffered enough from the losses caused by the second and third ninja wars?"

"..."

Good guy!

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

While everyone was secretly surprised, they subconsciously looked towards the Third Hokage and Mito Kadoyan.

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

In other words, Konoha suffered great losses in the second and third ninja wars, and it was inseparable from these two.

"...."

The Third Hokage's old face darkened.

Mito Kadoyan smiled, lowered his head and said nothing.

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

It's okay in normal times, but during a war, if the villagers become too resentful, problems will arise.

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

Because the Third Hokage couldn't bear it anymore, Minato was pushed out, which gave the villagers an explanation.

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

Yan tapped his finger on the table and continued:

"We must take strict precautions against the losses we suffered in the past, instead of forgetting the pain as time goes by and the scars heal."

"This batch of minerals is particularly important to the village, because they can drive the operation of many jobs in the village, increase the income of many villagers, and thus drive other industries. It will not happen like in the past, when a war broke out and the economy completely collapsed. A stagnant situation.”

“Even if the war can affect us, the war cannot be fought in a short time.

Before this, selling certain war preparation materials will not affect the village's war operations. That's all I want to say. If you have any other ideas, please put them forward together. "

After saying that, seeing the Third Hokage hesitate to speak, Hiko immediately added.

"As for the opinions of the Mist Ninja Village, it goes without saying. We are all five great ninja villages. When did it become the Mist Ninja Village's turn to dictate to Konoha?

Speaking of which, the Kiri Ninja Village inexplicably declared war on the village during the Third Ninja War, and they haven't even been settled yet!

Who to sell things to and what to sell are our freedom in Konoha and have nothing to do with other Mist Ninja Village. "

It is our freedom to sell what we want. It is not your turn to dictate what we sell, and you are not qualified to do so.

Konoha's attitude is that simple.

Hiko's words directly blocked the Third Hokage.

He originally wanted to say that the village's selling of war preparation supplies might cause a backlash from the Mist Ninja Village, but now it's okay, there's no need to say that anymore.

The attitude is so tough. Whatever Konoha does, it's not your turn.

If you have this free time to come and tear Konoha's skin, you might as well seize the time to transport troops.

The Sand Ninja Village is ready for war, but you, the Mist Ninja Village, are still dilly-dallying.

Compared with the speed at which other villages wage war, Mist Ninja Village is indeed a bit slow. It's not that they want to drag their feet, but the geographical location is too special.

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

Konoha and Iwanin Village would not allow them to use the road, and walking through the territories of many small countries would be choked by Konoha and Iwanin Village.

In the helpless situation, Mist Ninja Village could only choose to attack from the sea. Everyone knows the speed of sea transportation, but it is appallingly slow.

No, the slogan has been chanted for so long, and now only a small number of ANBU ninjas have sneaked into the Kingdom of Wind and are entangled with the ANBU ninjas in Sand Ninja Village.

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

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

Without steel warships or super-large transport ships, we relied on the speed of those wooden warships from the Kingdom of Water to transport troops and supplies...

Even eating shit can't keep up with a hot mouthful.

Not to mention, Yun Ninja Village has begun to carve out territory on the sea.

This kind of behavior is very similar to that of the Kumo Ninja Village. They are just taking advantage of you to cause trouble when you are unable to take action.

No matter whether there will be accusations or not, let's take advantage first.

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

After Hiko's speech ended, the Third Hokage and Mito Kadoyan had nothing to say, and they did not dare to say some words because they would cause hatred if they were said.

At this moment, the two old guys could clearly see that most of the people sitting in the conference room disliked them.

If you can't even win a few allies, how can you dare to say things that offend others?

After Zai Yan, other people gradually expressed their opinions and put forward some opinions, but most of them were not nutritious.

It seems it's time to end.

Just when Tsunade was about to announce the end of the meeting, Hiko stood up.

Seeing this, Tsunade subconsciously lowered her raised hand.

"Here, I want to hand over a very important task to Lord Sandaime and Elder Men Yan. I wonder if the two elders are willing to share the worries and solve problems for the village?"

"What mission?"

The Third Hokage was stunned for a moment.

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

Doesn't this guy want to keep him at home to rest and not allowed to do anything?

Could it be some offending or troublesome task?

Ever since Koharu's accident happened, Mito Monobu had been worried that he would suffer the same fate, so he lived a very low-key life in the past few years, and rarely went to the Third Hokage for fear of being watched.

Now Yan suddenly gave up a task and asked him to complete it as the Third Hokage. Mito Kadoyan suddenly became nervous.

He was afraid that Yan would give them both a deceptive or life-threatening mission.

Once this kind of task is in your hands, unless you can complete it perfectly, it will have a huge impact and you will be trapped.

"Buying food."

Yan said clearly:

“Although there is no shortage of food in Konoha, we need to stock up as much as possible before the current price of food and various daily necessities does not increase.

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

"why?"

The Third Hokage didn't understand very well: "Hey, the village is not short of food and various daily necessities. If we stock up in large quantities..."

"Even if there is no shortage, we still have to prepare to prevent prices from skyrocketing."

Hiko interrupted the Third Hokage.
