Magnetic field rotates in the heavens

Last summer, the Ninja World was hit by heavy rains again. The Land of Fire was flooded again, and other Ninja World countries were also hit by various natural disasters.

Although the disasters lasted for a shorter time than the year before, and the rainstorms and cloudy days disappeared before the summer was over, it was only for a short while that the Ninja World almost lost all its harvests.

That is, after the extreme weather, another crop of food was planted, which made the Ninja World recover.

However, due to time and geographical conditions, only some areas had good harvests, and even if the rest of the areas were planted, the harvests were still bleak. Anyway, the Ninja World was still seriously injured.

Of course, to put it bluntly, the people who were seriously injured were actually just the lower-class people. Even if there were a few more years of disasters like this, the nobles' stored grain would not be eaten up.

The same is true for the nobles whose grain was stolen by Liu Ping'an. They could not eat it all. Even if they were not short of food, they still collected taxes from the people in their territories.

It doesn't matter if you peasants die or not, but the nobles must pay taxes.

What? Poor harvest, can't pay? No problem, find out about the interest rate, don't want to borrow? No problem, just owe it first and pay the tax next year.

If the harvest next year is still bad, then pay it the year after. Anyway, the nobles only collect taxes based on the maximum harvest. Your harvest has nothing to do with the nobles. If it's not enough, just pay it.

Anyway, the nobles are not in a hurry, they will pay it slowly, every year. If your generation can't pay it, let the next generation pay it. Anyway, the nobles will eat you peasants.

But fortunately, maybe God can't stand it anymore. This year, that is, the 43rd year of Konoha, there is no extreme weather. It seems that the bottom of the Fire Country can recover.

Similarly, the ninja villages can also recover. Yes, they are ninja villages. Don’t think that the nobles have grain. They are nobles, and ninjas don’t farm.

Even if grain merchants dare not hoard goods in ninja villages, because the purchase price is high, the ninja villages can’t say anything about the price increase.

So the civilians in the major ninja villages are not doing well. They all have to tighten their belts to make a living. It’s because of Liu Ping’an that the grain price in Konoha is the same as usual.

Like other ninja villages, the countries where they are located are not as rich as the Fire Country, and the grain production is not good, so the price increase is more severe, and the lower-class people starve to death, die of illness, and die more accidentally.

The civilians in the ninja villages have to be happy if they don’t starve to death. The ninja villages have lost their usual atmosphere and are dead.

It is thanks to the normal weather this year that the harvests of the major countries have recovered a little, and the grain prices have also calmed down a little. Only then will the ninja villages recover their vitality and have a little popularity two years ago.

But the natural disasters in the past two years have made the eyes of the entire ninja world instinctively focus on the Fire Country.

There is no way. Without comparison, there is no harm. Although the Fire Country was also affected by the disaster, it suffered the least loss in the entire ninja world and recovered the fastest.

The eyes of the ninja countries are once again greedy when looking at the Fire Country. Damn, this Fire Country is really too rich, tooIt's tempting. If you take a bite, it will be so cool!

Although Konoha is very powerful, the countries and major ninja villages that have been seriously injured can't help but reach out to the Fire Country.

Small countries and small ninja villages are not good at being the first to stand out. They can only wait for the opportunity and be ready to wave their flags and shout at any time, but the big countries are no longer hesitant.

The four daimyos of the Wind Country, the Thunder Country, the Earth Country, and the Water Country have increased the military expenditures of their respective ninja villages, allowing the four major ninja villages to purchase supplies and weapons and prepare for war.

During this period, the four major ninja villages sent ninjas to harass the border of the Fire Country. Some of the four major ninjas were lucky and slipped into the territory of the Fire Country.

After seeing the prosperity of the towns in the Fire Country, their eyes were straight, and they rushed into the town and fired a lot of guns. After filling the storage scrolls, they fled to their own borders.

By the time Konoha reacted, those ninjas who had just robbed and ran away had already fled back, so Konoha began to increase the number of troops on the border, which stopped the ninjas from other countries from buying for free.

However, how could the ninjas from other countries who had tasted the sweetness give up? The Fire Country was too rich, and they simply couldn't bear it!

Even if the Fire Country Daimyo warned the Daimyo of the other four countries, and Konoha warned the other four ninja villages.

It couldn't stop the ninjas from the four ninja villages. How could the four ninja villages, who were already greedy and eager to buy for free in the Fire Country, give up the opportunity to make a fortune?

What's more, they had lived too hard in the past two years. Those ninjas were okay, but the civilian ninjas were not. They really had to eat coarse food and tighten their stomachs.

After all, they had a big family to support, and ninjas didn't have the habit of saving money. There were no missions in those two years, so they really had two years of hard life.

Now that they see the benefits of the Fire Country, their eyes are shining. They are just going to rush into the Fire Country and buy for free.

However, the major ninja villages are still preparing for war and have not yet prepared supplies and weapons, so the current struggle is only in the dark, and it is indeed an undercurrent.

Autumn.

It is the registration season for the new year's ninja school. Although the third generation Hokage has been looking for Liu Pingan recently, hoping that Liu Pingan will go out of the village to perform tasks, Liu Pingan has refused.

Liu Pingan did not hide the reason. He wanted to see the children in the orphanage enroll in the ninja school before he could perform the mission with confidence.

In this regard, Sarutobi Hiruzen not only did not feel disgusted, but was a little happy in his heart. What is this? This is a bond!

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not expect that Pingan, who had always been disrespectful to everyone, was actually a person who valued the orphanage so much.

He used to think that Liu Pingan was grateful to the orphanage and didn't care about the orphans. After all, according to the information, Liu Pingan didn't play games with other orphans when he was a child.

To be honest, Tsunade is probably the only one in Konoha who understands Liu Pingan and knows that he is a child with a bottom line that is beyond everyone's imagination.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that it might be because Danzo looted the orphanage when he was a child, which made Liu Pingan particularly attached to that time.

That's why he cares so much about the children in the orphanage, and doesn't want them to repeat the same mistakes and fall into Danzo's hands.

Anyway, no matter how Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks, he doesn't think Liu Ping'an is a qualified successor to the Will of Fire, because he is not as easy to control as Minato.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is happy only because he is sure that there is someone in Konoha that Liu Ping'an cares about. Even if he doesn't care much, as long as time goes by, is he afraid that he can't cultivate feelings for the village?

Even if he can't be a Hokage, it's okay to let him be a sword belonging to Konoha. With his talent, it is definitely a sword sharper than White Fang.

Time flows little by little.

Since the beginning of summer, Liu Ping'an has been staying in the orphanage every day. The children don't know what's going on, but they are very happy to listen to ninja stories.

Only the dean knows what's going on. He understands that Liu Ping'an still remembers what happened five years ago and doesn't want the tragedy to happen to these children. .
