The muscular blacksmith Shitan asked Ino about his request.
"The conductivity of chakra must be good, it must be easy to apply poison, it must be powerful when wielded, it must look good, and it must be domineering." She listed seventeen or eight requirements in a row.
Shi Tan quickly waved his hand to signal to stop. Your request is too much. I am just an ordinary blacksmith and do not have such high skills.
"What's the guest's budget?" he asked at a critical moment.
Ino thought about it carefully.
The village's reimbursement will be something later, and now she still needs to pay the bill herself. Ino calculated the money in her hand: "About ten million taels, of course, it doesn't matter if it exceeds, give me some time, I will definitely get the money
.”
She really doesn’t have much money in her hands, but she can grab it!
What is the purpose of practicing ninjutsu? Is it just to help the farmer uncle of Konoha cultivate the land?
The blacksmith Shi Tan is very kind. Seeing that Ino is not very old, he is worried that if her weapons are too good, something might happen to her.
"Don't worry, Miss Yamanaka's strength is no problem." She persuaded with a knife on the side.
"How does it compare to you?"
"Much better than me."
"Stronger than you?" Shi Tan was a little surprised. His martial arts skills with swords were also very famous in the Kingdom of Iron. Although he was not as good as General Mifune, among the generals below Mifune, he was still among the best.
Ino had seen the sword's martial arts skills last time. Faced with Scorpion's hundreds of maneuvers, he could hold on to more than a dozen moves with the sword. This strength is really not weak. It's worse than Asuma, but it's better than the soy sauce chuunin.
Yes.
The blacksmith nodded heavily: "I understand. Since you want a more domineering weapon, how about I use chakra metal to help you build a halberd?"
At first glance it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it, but when you think about it carefully.
Ino felt that this thing didn't sound like a weapon used by ninjas, and it felt weird.
The words used by Hokage here are definitely different from those in the previous life, but this euphorbia can easily cause ambiguity to her.
"Well, actually a knife will do, a short knife, right?"
The first Hokage and the second Hokage all used swords. Nowadays, all ninjas use kunai mainly for convenience. Carrying a long sword is really a hindrance when carrying out assassinations, kidnappings and other tasks.
Kunai is very convenient when performing tasks, but after all, it is not as useful as a knife on the battlefield.
At least Ino felt that kunai was not easy to use.
"Okay, you can use it yourself anyway. In fact, I still think Euphorbia is more domineering."
"No, thank you, just the dagger."
Seven days later.
Ino got a short sword called "Akisui" with chakra conduction properties. She had a friendship with the sword, so she calculated a friendship price of fifteen million taels, which was not enough even if all her wealth was emptied, she took advantage of the opportunity.
It was a dark and windy night, so he put on Deidara's clothes and robbed two temples in succession. Only then was the full price paid.
The short knife is tied to the thigh and can be pulled out when needed, which is convenient and quick.
She tried it and thought it was very good.
Return to the village and ask Jiraiya for reimbursement.
The village is not rich now, so she will be reimbursed five million taels first, and the remaining balance will be settled at the end of the year.
Jiraiya didn't hide anything from her. He made it very clear that everything will wait until the end of the year! We will have money when we finish defeating Sunagakure Village! No matter how poor you are, if caught by a great Ninja village like Sunagakure Village, you can still make money.
Come.
Ino is not unreasonable. Once the war starts, money will be needed everywhere.
The Ninja Village has the right to require ninjas to participate in the war unconditionally. At the same time, the Ninja Village also has the obligation to pay the ninjas remuneration. This is corresponding.
The Ninja Village is a standard military organization. Military pay must be paid, weapons must be provided, rewards must be given for victory, and pensions must be given for defeat. They are the same as feudal armies of any era.
Ninjas are more independent. You can't say "I will reward you for winning this war." That won't work.
Send Kakashi to kill a certain enemy ninja and give him a B-level mission. After completing the mission, the village, as the client, must give money. You can pay on credit first, but the money must be paid afterwards.
Obito was sent to blow up the Kannabi Bridge. He did not come back and had no direct relatives. The village could blacklist the reward and pension, but it must record an A-level mission for him in the mission record.
A battle between ninja villages is composed of thousands of tasks. If the battle lasts for a long time, the number of tasks will be even greater.
This is how many of Jiraiya, Tsunade and the others' S-level tasks came about. From digging holes to cut off food, to killing people and setting fires, the tasks were diverse. This extremely inefficient operating mode was the way the Ninja Village commanded the ninjas.
To put it simply, this is the ultimate embodiment of "the wages are in place and the four emperors are useless".
You want me to do something or kill someone, okay, you have to pay me!
The Leaf Village was able to suppress the four parties because they had money and could fully pay the ninjas for their missions, while the Iwagakure and Sunagakure villages were beaten on the ground because they had no money and were poor!
Otherwise, if a Kannabi Bridge is bombed, what impact will it have on the war situation? You said that the students of the ninja school cannot tread water. That is understandable. Those genin and chuunin who have graduated for many years also cannot tread water? A bridge can do it.
Stopped them? What kind of river is this, the Liusha River?
Hundreds of Iwagakure ninjas stood on the other side of the broken bridge, shouting loudly: "We can't get across! The supplies are gone and the bridge is broken!"
Don't you think it's funny? Ino can use ninjutsu to change the terrain. How many ninjas can be stopped by a broken bridge?
In just one sentence, if the money is not enough, the Iwagakure ninja does not want to fight!
If the third-generation Tsuchikage, who is old and strong, wants to start a war, he must convince the Daimyo of the Earth Country. Without the support of the Daimyo from the national finance, Iwagakure Village simply cannot pay the mission rewards of so many ninjas.
The same is true here in Konoha. Once a war breaks out, Jiraiya will be ready to "protect" the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Ino still has a good view of the overall situation and knows that Konoha is currently full of internal conflicts. From the ninja clan to civilian ninjas, everyone has the intention of launching a war to divert internal conflicts. External war is the best way. Money is needed everywhere now.
The end of the year is the end of the year, and she is in no hurry.
Jiraiya and the others were preparing to go to Sunagakure, and Ino had nothing to do. For the sake of Yin Kyuubi, she asked her cheap senior brother Minato for sealing techniques.
Minato dominates the ninja world with his Flying Thunder God Technique. In fact, his sealing techniques are also at the top level. He is extremely good at the Four Elephants and Five Elements sealing techniques. He has also obtained many secret sealing techniques from the Uzumaki clan, and his knowledge in this area is extremely high.
Rich.
Ino knows how to use the Five Elements seal, but has never learned the Four Symbols. This time, in order to seal the Yin Nine Tails, she came to him specifically to learn this sealing technique.
One of them teaches seriously and the other studies carefully.
Ino felt that if he wanted to reach the level of Namikaze Minato's sealing technique, it would be a bit difficult to skillfully superimpose the two four elephant seals into a Bagua seal to seal the Yin Nine Tails. The "seal" of 9 points was a bit low and required hard work.
