Slap!
Uchiha Makoto loosened the hand holding the pen. His eyes looked at the manuscript paper in front of him, reading it from beginning to end with unsatisfied desire.
However, he still frowned.
Uchiha Makoto always felt that this article was missing something; the artistic conception was not coherent!
Subsequently, after brewing for a while longer, Uchiha Makoto finally thought of the missing part of the article, so he picked up the pen again.
[I am a person from the Land of Lightning. In the process of writing this article, I felt touched in my heart. I can't help but reflect on why only Akatsuki Village in the ninja world can achieve such things, while our Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning cannot. It is probably because the ninjas of our ninja village still retain the deep-rooted bad habits of Warring States ninjas, and the village system lags far behind Akatsuki Village.]
Uchiha Makoto finally nodded in satisfaction.
Without "I can't help but reflect"... how can it be called an authentic Chicken Soup for the Soul story!
Incidentally, he could also blacken Kumogakure again.
Kumogakure was already beaten by Akatsuki Village in the last war until they couldn't lift their heads, and even signed a pile of unequal treaties. This spine that couldn't straighten up would probably remain hunched forever. Even as the gap between the two sides grew larger, the term "deep-rooted bad habits" would be firmly welded onto that group of muscle-heads in Kumogakure.
Although it was during the Six Kage Summit, openly blackening them face to face... doing so was indeed a bit inappropriate.
However, Uchiha Makoto felt that the two sides had long torn their faces apart and were in an irreconcilable relationship. Even if the relationship became a little worse, it didn't matter... If they had the ability, they could turn back. If they didn't want the Tailed Beasts, Akatsuki Village would naturally accept them!
Maybe it could even achieve the effect of sowing discord.
A certain Daimyō who wishes to remain anonymous.... it's very likely the Daimyō of the Land of Lightning.
Uchiha Makoto imagined the happy scene at that time with expectation, so much so that the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but hum lightly.
While Senju Tobirama on the side looked at this article, and by the time he finished reading it all, his whole person was numb.
This formula is so familiar!
This taste is so familiar!
This taste is so damn strong!
Isn't this just like those small stories flattering Akatsuki Village all day long in the "New Ninja" publication popular in Konoha?
No wonder every time he read these small stories, he always felt something was wrong.
That feeling of faults everywhere, yet unable to pick out any faults.... Only Uchiha Makoto, this evil brat, could write such an article!
And Senju Tobirama just couldn't ban this damn "New Ninja"!
There was no helping it.
"New Ninja" also had a special column for female ninjas, specifically spreading progressive ideas!
Sister-in-law loved reading it!
Although the relationship between Sister-in-law and Big Brother wasn't as harmonious as imagined, he couldn't offend Sister-in-law because of this, right?
What if Sister-in-law whispered in Big Brother's ear?
.....
"Tobirama, what do you think of this article?"
"You are simply black-hearted to the core."
Having been tortured by Uchiha Makoto many times, Senju Tobirama could be considered able to see Uchiha Makoto's sinister intentions.
Among the many large and small ninja villages in the ninja world, ninjas like Tatsuhiko in the article... actually, no village could avoid having a massive number of such individual cases.
But the terrifying part of this matter lay here.
Due to the drawbacks of the traditional ninja village system.
In a ninja's life, they always have to constantly execute various tasks in exchange for a livelihood.
But even the most powerful ninja can inevitably get injured due to executing missions.
Those ninjas from ninja clans still have the opportunity to receive sufficient treatment from medical ninjas and recover their health after being injured in missions, but such ninjas are ultimately the minority.
The vast majority of ninjas are ordinary, bottom-level ninjas with no security.
Once these people get injured, with the slightest carelessness, they will fall into the survival "kill zone," fall into poverty, and finally fall into the death spiral step by step.
It's not that the village higher-ups don't want to care; there really aren't that many resources and funds.
Of course, this is also related to the ideology of the ninja world.
As a short-lived species, ninjas marry and have children early, then get injured and die in a certain mission, repeating the cycle.
And because of the ninja tool theory, every bottom-level ninja lived like this in the past.
Everyone was accustomed to this kind of life.
But now it's different.
Akatsuki Village stood out out of nowhere, showing ninjas in the ninja world another way of living.
Ninjas injured during execution can receive sufficient treatment. Even if they can no longer be competent for ninja missions, they can continue to engage in other jobs within the ninja village system.... Few ninjas can refuse these anti-kill zone policies.
Uchiha Makoto, this bastard, also specially launched the visa and Blue Card policy, giving them the opportunity to obtain this kind of life.
Without a doubt.
As Akatsuki Village's reputation spreads far and wide, more and more ninjas will seek opportunities to join Akatsuki Village... Even if their generation cannot obtain such an opportunity, many ninjas will consider trying various ways to join Akatsuki Village for the sake of the next generation.
And the ninja villages where these ninjas originally belong will certainly not accept such a thing. They will inevitably use all kinds of means to restrict this behavior and wantonly stigmatize these policies of Akatsuki Village.
For example, the ninja tool theory.
Ninjas are people who endure... tools cannot betray their masters.
Such arguments are the mainstream ideology in the ninja world.
But now, Uchiha Makoto wrote this article, using the so-called pursuit of a happy life and the ninja's right to pursue freedom to package Akatsuki Village's launch of the visa and Blue Card policy, giving those ninjas who want to run but cannot run for various reasons a reasonable and legitimate reason to convince themselves.
Even wearing the shackles and fetters of discipline, they are humans after all, and there is always a rebellious psychology in their bones.
Ninjas themselves also admire strength!
Akatsuki Village's propaganda machine talks about pursuing happiness and ninja freedom every day.
The premier large ninja village in the ninja world promotes it like this... now they have to believe it!
As long as the ninjas of the ninja villages take this first psychological step, Uchiha Makoto has actually won.
And at this time, the more various ninja villages prevent the ninjas in the village from obtaining Akatsuki Village visas and Blue Cards, the more they want to get them.
The beating of life is the best catalyst!
Uchiha Makoto can easily transform the external contradiction between ninja villages and Akatsuki Village into internal contradictions within their respective ninja villages, causing internal friction in the ninja villages and sucking away their elite ninjas!
"Ah... Uchiha Makoto, you really are a naturally evil Uchiha brat!"
Senju Tobirama could almost foresee how things would develop once such an article was spread, so he had already started sweating profusely.
This was group indistinguishable AOE damage; Konoha would also be affected!
And it might very likely be the most severely affected ninja village!
Relying on the current relationship between Akatsuki Village and Konoha, Uchiha Makoto could totally use the excuse of being allies to give Konoha ninjas a special channel. Whoever dared to hinder this matter would face Uchiha Makoto launching a public opinion attack.
"This article of yours is fictional, right? There is absolutely no person named Tatsuhiko in Akatsuki Village!"
Senju Tobirama still tried to find loopholes in the article to give himself a chance to counterattack in the future.
"You saw through it, but this is not important. The difficulties of bottom-level ninjas are always strange and varied. I just fabricated such a person, but there are quite a few ninjas who have gained a new life in Akatsuki Village."
"What, do you want to destroy the friendship between Konoha and Akatsuki? If you jump out at this time, don't even think about becoming the Second Hokage."
Uchiha Makoto saw through Senju Tobirama's thoughts and made him give up this idea with a slight threat.
At this time, if Senju Tobirama dared to jump out and sing a different tune, destroying the friendship between Konoha and Akatsuki, Senju Hashirama would have to step forward to deal with him.
Senju Tobirama instantly became speechless.
Currently, for him, the most important thing was still to focus on Konoha's reform. As long as the village prospered, the methods Uchiha Makoto used would actually become ineffective.
"Now time is tight and the task is heavy. Taking advantage of the heat of the Six Kage Summit, I want this article to spread widely in the ninja world before the formal launch of the Six Kage Summit meeting. Akatsuki Village is the first stop!"
"But there are only two days left before the Six Kage Summit; is there enough time?"
"Hmph... you underestimate my Akatsuki Village too much. Never mind, I'll take you to see it."
Uchiha Makoto smiled, then picked up the article on the table and left the Hikarikage's office with Senju Tobirama.
Subsequently, not long after.
The two arrived at the printing factory of the Akatsuki Village Publishing House.
Because the sales volume of the publications issued by the publishing house was astonishing, several new printing factory production lines had been built recently next to the original printing factory.
When Uchiha Makoto and Senju Tobirama passed by, construction was in full swing on the construction site.
"Seize the sunny days, grab the cloudy days, treat the drizzle as a good day!"
"Treat under the moon as daytime; one sunny day equals two days!"
"Work hard in light rain, work hard in heavy rain! Work in the gaps of torrential rain!"
"Wearing a raincoat makes it a sunny day; turning on the light makes it daytime!"
"Long live Lord Hikarikage!"
The workers shouted slogans while working with sweat pouring down their faces.
Passing by, Senju Tobirama stopped his steps as if he had seen a ghost.
"This is just Akatsuki Village's corporate culture."
"Time is life, efficiency is money. For the development of Akatsuki Village, not a moment can be wasted."
"Work hard during the day, work overnight at night; all of this is for Akatsuki Village!"
Uchiha Makoto said as a matter of course, only feeling that Senju Tobirama was making a fuss over nothing.
And Senju Tobirama nodded solemnly. He suddenly felt that his last investigation had completely failed to learn the essence of Akatsuki Village's management.
No wonder Uchiha Makoto was so confident.
This posture looked scary.
Then... the situation inside the printing factory... was probably similar.
"There are no sales that can't go up, only enthusiasm that can't keep up!"
"狠 (Ruthlessly) grasp production tackling, sprint for capacity goals!"
"Development is fundamental, output comes first!"
"Rather work overtime than delay the printing factory!"
Unsurprisingly.
Before Senju Tobirama walked into the gate of the printing factory, he heard the sound of loudspeaker propaganda in his ears.
Various struggle slogans covered the walls and eaves of the printing factory.
Just stepping into it, Senju Tobirama felt that the entire printing factory was filled with an indescribable atmosphere.
If forced to describe it, it was a realm of vibrant vitality, where all things were competing for development!
The printing pedals under the feet of the workers working in the printing factory were about to be stepped on until they smoked. Sweat soaked the clothes on their backs; they devoted themselves to work selflessly.
Uchiha Makoto didn't intend to reveal his identity and interfere with this "struggle" environment.
If he wanted to carry out comprehensive public opinion control over the ninja world, he inevitably needed a large amount of saturated Chicken Soup for the Soul story magazines.
Uchiha Makoto wanted to make Akatsuki Village synonymous with "civilization" and "advanced"!
So... output was the first priority!
Thus, he intended to go directly to the workshop director, but Senju Tobirama turned his attention to the propaganda board hanging on the wall.
Right above the propaganda board, there was a photo of an honest-looking man. The first impression of the photo was that he was a person who could endure hardship and was willing to dedicate himself.
Below the propaganda board was his introduction.
"He is an excellent employee of the printing factory, often leading workers to work overtime until the early morning. At the busiest times, he even works all night long."
"He said... comfort is left for the dead; being young means fighting while awake!"
"He said... what does it matter if I'm a bit tired, what does it matter if I'm criticized? As long as the printing factory can develop better, it's worth it!"
"He said... stop working when sick? What about the customers? Although we are illiterate, we only know responsibility and accountability."
"He said... the factory treats us so well now; we don't want to hold it back. Otherwise, it would be shameful!"
"He said... success doesn't have to be with me, but with me, success is certain!"
Senju Tobirama looked at it, seemingly understanding but not quite. He felt he had learned a new trick from Uchiha Makoto again.
"Very great, right?"
"He is a model worker of the printing factory; even I know his name."
"How is this person now?"
"He is the workshop director of the printing factory now. I'm not some black-hearted boss."
Uchiha Makoto curled his lips. He wasn't a black-hearted boss who only knew how to paint pies.
Moreover, in such a chaotic ninja world now, where could one find such a stable, safe job that provided food and accommodation?
Ordinary people couldn't even beg for it!
While the two were chatting like this, the workshop director in charge of production discovered them.
"Lord Hikarikage, why did you come personally!"
"Of course, there is a very urgent task to be handed over to you!"
"I want this article to be the headline of this issue of 'New Ninja'... Time is tight and the task is heavy; you only have two days..."
"Leave it to us, Lord Hikarikage!"
The workshop director nodded solemnly, took the article from Uchiha Makoto's hand, and then hurriedly returned to his workstation.
Subsequently, the sound of a loudspeaker broadcast came from the printing factory.
"Urgent notice, urgent notice."
"We have an incredibly important task now... only two days..."
"Our slogan is..."
"Rather stay up all night than stop production!"
The workshop director's heroic voice came, and the workers shouted the slogan loudly together.
They stepped on the printing pedals under their feet even harder.
For a time, the entire factory was shrouded in an atmosphere of "struggle."
