Chapter 229 Taking Risks



In such a short period of time, she was able to arrange so many things in an orderly manner. As a Mizukage, Mei Terumi did a good job, at least better than Tsunade. Tsunade, who was greatly constrained by advisors and elders, was simply unable to make such drastic reforms as Mei Terumi did in the Hidden Mist Village.

"Misfortunes often bring good fortune! As expected, the heavens left a ray of hope, giving the precarious Kirigakure a glimmer of hope."

However, popularizing the basic education of ninjas is a great thing in the long run, but a certain period of precipitation and accumulation is indispensable. Three years is barely enough. Through this period of education, a large group of Genin and a small number of Chunin can be trained to handle a lot of trivial matters and tasks that are not difficult. In this way, a large number of high-end forces in the Hidden Mist Village can be liberated, and their strength can be concentrated to demonstrate the power of the ninja village, gain more prestige and benefits, and then embark on a virtuous circle.

However, if this period of keeping a low profile could not be sustained, it would become the root cause of the further decline of the Hidden Mist Village. To popularize basic ninja education, when the qualifications are not much different, the key to widening the gap lies in the investment of manpower and material resources. In the final analysis, it is still a large number of Genin piled up with limited resources.

Why do so few ninja villages follow the example of Konoha, even though they know that Konoha has such an excellent backup education system? The biggest obstacle to realizing this system is the difficulty in maintaining the huge consumption brought about by the popularization of basic ninja education. Before enjoying the benefits brought about by the popularization of basic ninja education, most ninja villages have already given up halfway. Therefore, the inheritance of the master-apprentice system and the training of a small number of elite ninjas are the mainstream of this world. Like Konoha Village, which can use rich resources and heritage to promote the ninja school system, it is estimated that only the Hidden Cloud Village can do this like Konoha. As for the Hidden Sand Village, if it is not necessary to do so under special circumstances, there will be no such thing as ninja education. The characteristics of the Hidden Sand Village - unique secrets such as puppet masters and poisons, will only be passed on secretly between masters and apprentices, or even close relatives.

The Hidden Mist Village, which has also adhered to the elite policy of Sand Village for nearly a hundred years, must implement this long-term plan. Two or three years of stable development is essential. The Hidden Mist Village, which has just ended the rule of the "Blood Mist Village" by the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, even accepted some terms proposed by Konoha that were obviously unfavorable to the Hidden Mist Village, and opened its doors to the ninja world. In order to obtain enough resources to overcome the difficulties, it can be said that it took great pains.

However, the decision-makers of this world, including the Kage of the five major ninja villages, have underestimated the strength and destructive power of the mercenary organization "Akatsuki". In the face of the world-destroying level of harm, the fate of this world will ultimately be determined by the victory or defeat of high-end forces.

Watching from afar a group of children practicing shuriken in a clumsy way, under the supervision of several serious-looking Chunin, they dared not show any slackness. Mizuki could not help but shake his head. The Mist Ninjas who had just walked out of the cruelty of the "Blood Mist Town" had not yet learned how to enjoy life indifferently. In the education of children, too strict and harsh introductory education would only increase the children's rejection. These ninjas who were full of killing skills were not qualified teachers at all.

"My occupational disease has struck again. How other people's children are educated is none of my business!"

Shuimu smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and left this simple training ground. However, before he had gone far, he was stopped by a figure.

"It's you?" Shuimu asked, "Captain Sword, what do you want me to do?"

The person who came was the captain of the Anbu who did not show up at any formal occasion yesterday. No one knew what important matter had happened that made him not show up.

Just now, I felt that some eyes, some obvious and some hidden, were fixed on me, but Shuimu didn't care. He just looked around casually, and thought there was nothing to worry about. I didn't expect that they would come to me.

"Mizuki Jonin, don't worry, I have no ill intentions." The ANBU captain said calmly, "In fact, there are some things I want to ask Mizuki Jonin, who used to be a teacher in the ninja school."

Mizuki was a little surprised to hear Captain "Sword"'s words. He didn't expect it to be this kind of question.

"Ever? There's no order saying I'm not a teacher at a ninja school right now?"

Having said that, it's just Mizuki's specious talk. Under the current circumstances, it is probably impossible for Mizuki to go to the Ninja School to be a nanny.

"Haha." The Anbu captain smiled and did not comment on Mizuki's teasing. He then said, "Mizuki Jonin has also seen our method of preparing this ninja training. I wonder what you think of it?"

"As for the evaluation..." Shuimu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or something nice?"

"Is there any difference?" The Anbu captain was stunned, then realized that it was not a good thing, "Let's say the good thing first."

"Your village has a bright future indeed."

"Is that all?"

Mizuki nodded: "If the ninja village wants to develop, it can't support itself without a certain number of ninjas."

The ANBU captain nodded and then asked, "What about the truth?"

"If you aim too high but your goals are too low, and you don't have enough money to last until the day of harvest, you're done."

Mizuki pointed out the danger bluntly.

"So serious?" The Anbu captain was startled.

"You can just treat it as alarmist."

Shuimu shrugged indifferently.

Things like ninja schools are pure money-burning stuff. No matter how bright the future is or how lofty the sentiments are, but in the final analysis, they still exist to train large numbers of chunins and genins. Training elites is not its purpose. The most important thing is to lay a solid foundation for people with ninja talents.

So, to put it bluntly, this is an excellent system that the longer it is maintained, the greater the benefits it will gain. When the population base is larger and there are sufficient resources to consume, this is a powerful tool to fully unleash the comprehensive strength of the ninja village.

But for the Hidden Mist Village, it is not necessarily the case. With such a poor situation, there is bound to not be enough investment. Not to mention anything else, just look at the wear and tear of the ninja tools that the little guys use in their daily training, which is a huge expense. They occupy such a large venue, and there are quite a few ninjas who are not doing missions and are acting as babysitters here. How much investment is this?

"To be honest, although I admire your village's drastic reforms after just experiencing unrest, I have to admit that this is very risky."
