Chapter 17 Every Leaf Villager is a Bully
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique".
Splash!
The thoughtful Kisame gave the bridge a thorough cleaning.
The bridge is as clean as ever.
Seeing this, Tazuna, who was "escorting the target," trembled and dared not speak.
When facing Konoha ninjas, he can still rely on his seniority and use moral blackmail.
Faced with this group of rogue ninja killing gods?
He's risking his life to do that.
"Bai, you and Zabuza should know where Gato's base is, right?"
Go ahead and take control, lest any of the bolder ones from the group that escaped earlier run over and prepare to search, attack, and retreat.
Bai Mo walked back and said to Bai.
"Yes."
After Bai responded, he immediately set off for the other side of the bridge.
Haku did not ask Zabuza for his opinion again.
Bai hadn't said a word during Bai Mo's conversation, but he had heard it all and kept it in mind.
They want to change the status quo of their homeland, the land of water.
Zabuza also agreed to join.
Even Zabuza must obey Bai Mo's commands.
Given this, it's perfectly normal for him to obey orders as Zabuza's tool.
Bai went to deal with Kado's legacy, while Bai Mo and his group, led by Tazna, arrived at his village.
According to Tazna, the village was so poor that it couldn't even afford to pay for a B-rank mission, hence the nickname "Poor B".
Actually, they weren't that poor.
If we were really that poor, the bridge wouldn't have been built, and people wouldn't be alive today.
Bai Mo toured the village and learned about the situation. After Bai Mo stopped, Tazuna said that other parts of the Land of Waves were similar to theirs.
"Understood."
"Zabuza, from now on you will establish a branch of the Awagakure village here, even though the name might sound a bit suggestive."
Bai Mo stroked his chin and said to Zabuza.
"Establishing a ninja village, esteemed ninjas, what do you mean by that...?"
Tazna's eyes widened.
"You think the reason you're so poor is because of Kado, and that's not the problem."
You just told me about the exorbitant protection fees and restrictions on foreign trade.
But old man, do you think that by building a bridge you can get rid of Kado's monopoly?
A bridge can only break the monopoly on a physical level, but it cannot solve the greed in people's hearts.
Even if Gato is dead now, can you guarantee that there won't be another Gato without the protection of a ninja village?
You've already seen all those lousy underlings of Gato; Kisame could take them all down with a single ninjutsu.
If the next one is a Jonin-level rogue ninja who wants to take Gato's place and completely monitor and seal off the Land of Waves like the Hidden Mist Village, what will you ordinary people do?
At that time, even escaping to seek help from other ninja villages and obtaining missions was no longer an option.
Bai Mo's words instantly made Tazna realize something, but he was also worried. What if they got rid of the wolf one day and then welcomed the tiger the next?
Bai Mo naturally noticed the old man's worry.
To be honest, the old man's worries were completely useless.
Even if Bai Mo and his group are really prepared to continue exploiting them, can they still resist?
"Actually, Kado is really stupid. Even Kakuzu understands that sustainable development is the only way to make more money, but this guy is here squeezing every last drop of value out of us."
Zabuza, after you establish the ninja villages, find talented children in these villages and teach them ninjutsu.
As for other management matters, delegate authority to others, like this old man.
Don't use the old ninja village system created by the First and Second Hokage; it's outdated.
I've written all the details in this scroll.
Bai Mo tossed a scroll to Zabuza.
"what?"
Tazner was stunned by Bai Mo's words.
The other party actually intended to make him, an ordinary person, an official?
Are they even planning to train ninjas among them?
Is there such a good thing?
"Let me make this clear from the start: we are all ruthless traitors who kill without blinking an eye. If you mistake leniency for indulgence and do things that no one wants to see, then don't blame us for being cruel."
Conversely, if you treat the Hōnin Village as your home and protect it, then the village, the nation, and you can achieve common prosperity.
Bai Mo's classic carrot and stick approach made Tazuna nod wildly, and he said that if given half a day, he could immediately send someone to spread the news to all the villages in the Land of Waves.
"I didn't expect you, strategist, to be such a talent for domestic affairs?"
When Zabuza was examining the scroll, Itachi also glanced at it a few times and found that many of the reforms were indeed spot-on, which made him sigh with admiration.
If only Bai Mo were a Konoha ninja.
Actually, Itachi was overthinking it.
The reason Bai Mo spoke frankly with Tazuna earlier was because of the Konoha ninja.
Most people might think that the villagers of Konoha were bullying Naruto. Naruto was clearly the son of a hero, but his identity was hidden, and he was discriminated against and bullied. It was so pitiful.
This is not the case.
The villagers of Konoha are all bullies, discriminating against and bullying everyone they want to bully.
Obito, Guy, Naruto, and even Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family, all had memories of being bullied during the Boruto era.
Oh right, and Kushina too.
In Konoha, a childhood without being bullied is incomplete.
"I wouldn't call myself a talent; I just know how to adapt. Do you, Itachi, think it's normal for the Hokage's desk to be piled high with mundane tasks every day, pretending to be busy all day?"
Bai Mo did not accept Itachi's praise this time.
He was well aware of his own limitations.
He was able to persuade the entire Akatsuki organization thanks to near-perfect intelligence, meticulous logical ability, and a bit of wild imagination.
But domestic affairs are not so simple to manage.
He was able to propose these changes entirely because the original system was so terrible, so utterly terrible.
for example.
Just like Bai Mo asked Itachi, when the Third Hokage and later the Fifth Hokage were Hokage, a lot of low-level tasks, such as documents for catching cats and dogs, required the Hokage's signature and stamp.
Is this really necessary?
Aside from appearing very busy, it has absolutely no practical significance.
When it came to the time of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto, things became even more incredible.
Naruto not only had to sign and stamp documents, but also had to do these low-level tasks himself, such as helping old ladies buy groceries and helping people find cats and catch dogs.
The Hokage, with his immense chakra reserves, frantically performed these low-level tasks using multiple shadow clones until he was completely drained. He couldn't even maintain the shadow clones for his daughter's birthday, causing him to drop the cake on the ground.
You've seen Spider-Man as a friendly neighbor, going out to fight crime every day, and that's fine.
Have you ever seen Iron Man or the Führer go around doing good deeds every day, dealing with robberies and shootings?
Moreover, those were not life-threatening missions.
Bai Mo merely corrected these outrageous and absurd errors, so naturally he didn't deserve Itachi's praise.
Otherwise, it would give him the feeling that "the IQ of the entire ninja world has dropped a hundredfold, but I remain unchanged."
As for whether decentralizing power will lead to being sidelined, there's no need to worry.
Being sidelined is something that happens in the world of ordinary people without superpowers.
Although, according to the saying, one cannot become a Kage simply by being strong; one must also gain recognition.
But the shadow of each village is basically the strongest person in the village.
In other words, even if power is delegated, it can be overturned and taken back at any time.
Zabuza's strength is more than enough to deal with ordinary ninjas.
If he encounters any unexpected events, the Akatsuki organization at headquarters will be there to protect him.
