Chapter 182 Jiraiya: What did you say?

If Konoha was only in a price war with either Kumogakure or Iwagakure, Konoha would definitely win.

Why?

Because Konoha was in better financial shape than either of their two villages.

To put it bluntly, a price war means sacrificing one's own interests to subsidize the interests of the task issuer.

Konoha can afford to do this in a short period of time, and only against one ninja village.

But it would be a bit difficult for Konoha to deal with two great ninja villages at once.

One family's money is not as much as one's own, and the two families' combined money is more than one's own.

In this case, Konoha would have a high chance of losing in a price war.

At the same time, the sequelae afterwards are also serious.

It's like a person going to buy fruit. The fruit that costs one yuan per catty was originally very good. Suddenly a disruptor comes in and starts a price war with you, making the fruit that costs one yuan per catty become 50 cents per catty.

After a period of time, the price war ended, and the price of fruit returned to one yuan per catty. However, by this time, customers had become accustomed to buying fruit at 50 cents per catty. If the price suddenly returned to one yuan, the customers would definitely be dissatisfied.

It is more likely that customers will stop buying fruits from you and go to other fruit stores to buy fruits.

Jiraiya didn't know much about the economy, but after traveling around for so many years, he understood human nature very well.

Therefore, Jiraiya definitely doesn't want to fight a price war with his opponent.

"What other suggestions?"

"The second suggestion is that we can dispatch several groups of elite teams to specifically destroy the missions of these two villages. Once their mission failure rate is too high or they are damaged during the mission, for the sake of safety and interests, go to these two villages. Customers who post tasks will eventually come back.”

There is competition and cooperation among the five major ninja villages.

There is really no team formed specifically for the purpose of destroying other people's missions. At most, they meet during missions. If they can destroy it, they can destroy it. If they can't, they can also add some obstruction.

If there really was such a team created to destroy the mission, then the entire ninja world would be in chaos.

"If I agree to this suggestion and are discovered, I'm afraid I will be besieged by the entire ninja world."

"That's not possible."

"Then you still say it?"

"Change our thinking. We can go to the underground money exchange and find those rebellious and wandering ninjas. Even if we are caught, it has nothing to do with us in Konoha."

"Isn't this a bit immoral?"

Shikaku took a deep look at Jiraiya and said seriously: "Morality must be immoral, but you are our Hokage of Konoha."

Shikaku was reminding Jiraiya that as Hokage, one should not think about morality or immorality.

Why was Danzo able to avoid being dealt with by the Third Hokage?

In addition to their decades-long friendship, the Third Hokage also needed a black glove.

You do all the bad things, and leave the good things to me.

This way it won't damage the Hokage's reputation.

It's just that the Third Hokage got a little lost in the end and died before he could deal with Danzo, leaving Tsunade with a big cancer.

"Okay, can I keep this for now? Do you have any suggestions?"

"have."

"Then say it."

"The last suggestion is to negotiate with Kumogakure and Iwagakure."

"Negotiation? What to talk about?"

"Of course it's about the resurrection technique."

".You won't let me hand over the resurrection technique to them, will you? Then wouldn't we Konoha be very cowardly?"

"of course not."

Lu Jiu shook his head and continued: "I don't know the specifics of the resurrection technique, but from what I think, the price to pay for such a heaven-defying technique will definitely not be small, so we don't give the technique, we sell it Quota.”

"Selling quota?"

"Yes, by then we can say that the resurrection technique is very expensive. There are many and cumbersome things to prepare. Only one quota can be sold in a short period of time. Hehe, Mr. Hokage, do you think they will come for this quota? Fight?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya stared at Shikaku for a long time, almost making Shikaku feel embarrassed. Then he said: "Shikaku, you are still young. For the sake of the next generation, don't walk in the path of committing crimes." On the road."

Shikaku:? ? ?

This is all nonsense.

"Uh, I respectfully follow Hokage-sama's teachings."

"Well"

Jiraiya pondered for a moment and said: "Implement your second suggestion first. If the effect is not good, try the third one."

"Okay, then I'll go down and make arrangements first."

"Lord Hokage, we have the latest information."

Just as Shikaku was about to go down and arrange for people to go to the underground money exchange, his friend Yamanaka Haiichi walked in with a document.

"What happened?"

Picking up the file, Jiraiya frowned as soon as he took a look at it.

"According to intelligence, several of our teams that went out to do missions were inexplicably attacked by some wandering ninjas and rebel ninjas, causing these teams to almost fail in their missions."

There are many types of outings.

There are assassinations, spying, and sabotage of some kind of facility.

But more importantly, it is to protect someone or certain goods to reach the designated destination.

This time, some of the people being escorted were injured during the mission, and the cargo was also damaged to varying degrees.

Fortunately, no one died in the end, and the goods were not completely damaged, so the mission was barely completed.

But it is impossible to get good reviews.

"Pa"

After reading the information, Jiraiya once again threw the document on the table angrily.

"This is a scam!"

"We are just preparing to go to the underground money exchange, and they have already completed the arrangements."

"It's so deceiving."

The strength of wandering ninjas and rebel ninjas varies.

The tall ones, like the group of people in the Akatsuki organization, are like monsters.

Low, maybe even a genin who just graduated from Konoha Ninja School can't beat him.

It's just a robbery and destruction mission. Naturally, Kumogakure and Iwagakure will not hire Akatsuki to organize the group of monsters.

However, just ordinary wandering ninjas and rebellious ninjas are disgusting enough.

"Hokage-sama, how about we start negotiations with them directly?"

"No, it would seem that we are afraid of them."

When Lu Jiu heard this, he couldn't help but murmur to himself: This is not a question of fear at all, but a question of dignity and face.

In Shikaku's opinion, it would be better to break up their alliance and let them fight by throwing out a spot for the other party to compete for. It would be even better if it can also knock the dog's brains out.

"You guys go down first, I need to think about it."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." X2

Sitting on the chair, Jiraiya thought for a long time, but could not think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

He stood up, looked at the village outside the window and sighed, feeling that he had failed as a Hokage.

Something happened to the village, and he couldn't even think of a solution.

"Fortunately, I'm not alone."

"Should I ask the old man or Minato for advice later?"

Just when Jiraiya was thinking about who to go to for help, an ANBU ninja flashed in front of him.

"Hokage-sama, someone is looking for you downstairs, do you want him to come up?"

"Who's looking for me?"

Jiraiya is very strange. People who are familiar with him know that he usually has no airs. If someone wants to find him, they can just come to the office directly. There is no need to inform anyone.

"He said his name was Nagato."

"What did you say?"
