Takato: I get the what? I exchanged like 4 lines with Sagiso and Azumi I wouldn't call a bachelorette.
Don't worry, I'll fix that soon enough.
Good, because that's exactly the activity I have the most ammo to crush.
If the mist had a lot of land, I could buy it, start my own business, make real estate, rent it out for profit, become rich, fund the mist, stay rich, get support from the mizukage and mist council.
1) The Mist doesn't have a lot of Land, they're an archipelago. They have the least land. (in respects to the other 5 Great Nations. However, they probably have the second least arable land, only beating out Suna.)
2) The fertility of their land is arguable. The salinity content of oceans means that only certain plans can grow upon shores washed by them.
3) You can start your own business, but it'll fail miserably. Especially for one in agriculture.
-For starter's with the Feudal Lord dead social order will be thrown to the trash. Regular businesses won't thrive, they'll actually suffer miserably. Only businesses that fuel the fighting will thrive, the rest will break even at best.
-For a land with no social order,
and an initially poor economy,
and no higher order maintaining security (since Kai just shot the head of govern.), law and order are going to plummet, while theft, and pillaging will drastically increase. What started off as an already poor zone for business had now become even worse than that.
-Without a standard system in place to provide food (as most people will be battling), famine will quickly set in and out of sheer desperation, your fields will be raided dry without a very adequate system of security.
-No one's looking for real estate in the middle of a civil war, that business will literally go nowhere unless you manage to erect a place that 100% safe where you're charging for 'safe' real estate.
-The idea above is only viable for a short time since once you've gained a bit of success you'll have a reputation for food, safe shelter, and living amenities, and that's something
everyone will be trying to get. Needless to say, you'll have riots on your hands soon enough, and your real estate will be raided frequently.
-While you will have a ton of money, it might become completely useless depending on how the war goes. If the fighting rages on for too long, money will lose it's value as people will be more concerned with the essentials, food, water, etc. They won't buy/sell but instead fall back to bartering.
They'll be starving, and they certainly can't eat money, so it becomes worthless.
-No ones moving
into a nation torn by war unless they're mercenaries or arms dealers. Your clientele for renting won't be the best.
We're not dealing with a budding nation, but one that's fallen to chaos because the pins holding it together have been taken away.
The Mist village probably won't be able to centralize power on their own. Half the most powerful clan in the Mist would be absolutely gleeful with the state of constant warfare (Karatachi, Yagura), and the remaining two (Yuki, Hōzuki) won't be able to gather enough influence to establish themselves as ruler of the
entire land of Mist in any short order.
They might be able to do it the long run after a long bloody war of subjugating and restraining all the other shinobi forces which will want to grab some power from the void created by the instantaneous destruction of a system that had lasted for almost a century or more.
