Chapter 908: Poaching the Sage!
Chapter 908: Poaching the Sage!
A great opportunity!
This time, Konoha had made extensive preparations in advance, and it was time to reap the benefits.
The ninja clans they had visited, even if they were resurrected, could now be considered 'homeless'.
A golden opportunity to poach!
Previously, some clans hesitated to go to the Heavenly Fortress Tower due to family obligations.
But now, that concern was completely gone.
Konoha wouldn't compensate them for their losses, and even if there was some compensation, it wouldn't be a fair price. So, going to the Heavenly Fortress Tower was the best choice.
Therefore, the clans that Tang Ping had previously approached all showed interest.
Take me with you, boss!
They had already planned to flee, but they hadn't had the chance to escape Konoha. Now, it was the perfect opportunity.
After all, Konoha had been destroyed.
Even if it could be rebuilt, it would take time, so naturally, controlling the villagers wouldn't be as strict as before.
Hundreds of thousands of people!
Before the village was rebuilt, they were scattered outside the village ruins or had temporarily left.
Especially for food!
The shelters had some food and supplies, but they couldn't support so many people.
So, the clans set up their own camps.
Whether it was hunting or buying food, they could handle it themselves.
Even the regular villagers could receive village aid.
Devastating losses!
Even if the people were safe, the village was completely destroyed, and it wasn't just a loss of buildings.
Wealth and resources were also gone.
Not to mention the loss of prestige!
If they hadn't defeated the leader of the Akatsuki, it wouldn't just be a loss of prestige but would directly become a laughingstock.
Amidst this chaos, the clans' departure wouldn't raise any suspicions.
So, without Konoha's knowledge, the clans left and never returned.
And this time, it wasn't just the clans Tang Ping had approached.
They also had friends and companions, who naturally would bring more people along.
After all, Konoha seemed to be in decline, and they couldn't let their friends and companions stay on this sinking ship.
So, as people invited others, every day, some villagers or clansmen disappeared without a trace.
The Konoha higher-ups, at this moment, were either focused on rebuilding Konoha or the Rinne Sharingan, and didn't have the time to deal with these minor matters.
If the Uchiha Security Department were here, they might have noticed something amiss.
But now, the Security Department was doing well just by ensuring security and distributing supplies.
It wasn't like all Security Departments were as capable and dedicated as the Uchiha.
That's right, the Uchiha's personality was a drawback in Konoha.
But in the Sunlight Nation, it was a perfect advantage, as they could be placed in the Security Department, Shinobi Army, and similar positions.
These positions required exactly that kind of personality.
The Security Department at the Heavenly Fortress Tower had a large number of Uchiha, all of them exceptionally capable.
Like the current Konoha Security Department, they couldn't compare to the Sunlight Nation, let alone the remaining few major ninja villages.
Those with some ability wouldn't stay in the Security Department, and capable members were few. With the department head, Kakashi, absent, naturally, they didn't notice the problem.
Anyway, many people left every day.
Previously, many people had wanted to go to the Heavenly Fortress Tower, after all, there were plenty of opportunities there.
Especially those who wanted to become ninjas, as long as they had potential, after signing a contract, they could immediately receive training.
This was evident in the last great war, where many former Konoha villagers with no chance of becoming ninjas were seen fighting.
It could be confirmed that the Sunlight Nation did provide resources.
Unfortunately, previously, the village not only prohibited ninjas from going to the Heavenly Fortress Tower but also banned clans or villagers with ninja potential from leaving, fearing they would join the other side as before.
So, it wasn't surprising that these clans were tempted.
More importantly, the Sunlight Nation had proven its strength and safety.
It was strong because it could challenge the entire Shinobi World alone.
Safety didn't need to be mentioned.
Last time, the major ninja villages had attacked together, but they were defeated.
With the presence of these renowned and powerful individuals, how could it not be safe?
If Konoha was still in its heyday, naturally, not many would consider defecting to the Radiant Sun Nation.
But after being attacked repeatedly, and now with the village completely destroyed, it's no wonder they're wavering.
In a short time, nearly ten thousand people, big and small, have quietly left.
Attention!
Konoha indeed has a population of several hundred thousand, but only a few tens of thousands have decent ninja talents, and most of them belong to declining ninja clans.
After consecutive battles and losses, this number naturally decreases.
Not to mention, the Radiant Sun Nation had already poached a large number of villagers with ninja potential, making this number even more precarious.
Now, with this ruthless move!
Although it doesn't significantly impact the active ninjas, it genuinely exaggerates the impact on Konoha's future.
In the future, even with resources, it might not be possible to find suitable talent for cultivation.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
In the past, Konoha was a place of intense competition, with people vying for limited ninja training spots, which led to the proliferation of geniuses.
But now, producing geniuses is not as easy as before.
One can say that Konoha's foundation and talent pool are almost depleted by the Radiant Sun Nation.
By absorbing countless talents and cultivating their own, the Radiant Sun Nation has become the place with the greatest potential in the entire Shinobi World.
However, talent is still abundant outside.
Tang Ping wouldn't stop swinging his hoe because of this.
By poaching others' talents, not only can you enhance your own potential and strength, but you can also weaken your opponents, which is a win-win situation.
As for whether they can handle so many people?
It's a joke; after the elimination of the nobility and daimyo, the surplus resources are more than enough to cultivate a massive number of ninjas. There's no fear of not being able to support them.
Moreover, cultivating ninjas has its advantages.
In the past, when a place had bandits, if the nobility were sent to eliminate them, they would need to dispatch hundreds or even thousands of people, not to mention the heavy taxes they would impose.
In the end, they would often fail!
But with these resources, they can easily dispatch tens or even hundreds of ninjas for eradication missions, more than enough to handle the situation.
One can say that the nobility is incompetent in governance but excels in making money and exploiting others, truly living up to their status as hyper-level Kage-level individuals.
Dig!
Dig ruthlessly!
Dig with all your might!
During this period, Tang Ping has been personally overseeing the operation, solely focused on poaching talents.
With each additional person, the Radiant Sun Nation grows stronger, and Konoha weakens.
After losing so much blood, Konoha's potential might even pale in comparison to the Cloud Village.
As for Nagato?
He has also awakened these days and hasn't been demanding to see Konan or anything.
He's recuperating!
At this moment, he's not even as strong as a child, let alone a Super Tailed Beast Human. He needs time to recover his health.
The lack of eyes doesn't affect him at all.
After all, he's from the Uzumaki Clan, and his sensory abilities are decent, allowing him to move freely.
By the way, he has also joined the Radiant Sun Nation.
The reason is for the Rain Country and also to thank Tang Ping for protecting Konan.
Nagato has limitless potential!
Even without the Rinnegan, he possesses all attributes and, combined with the Super Tailed Beast Human physique, his talent is even more terrifying than Kakashi.
So, these days, Tang Ping is not only helping him recuperate but also instilling the Radiant Sun Will.
One can say that the Radiant Sun Will and the Akatsuki's ideology are similar, both striving for peace but employing violent means.
However, one uses nuclear deterrence, while the other aims to purify the Shinobi World's decay and enemies.
The most crucial point is that the Radiant Sun Nation has achieved results and is not just empty talk.
Now, with the instillation of the Radiant Sun Will, as long as Nagato sees the state of the Radiant Sun Nation, how could he not give his all to assist?
Tang Ping will only help Nagato regain his peak state after he sincerely pledges allegiance, allowing him to experience the Radiant Sun Will as an ordinary person.
However, as he happily poaches talents, changes also occur in Konoha.
