Well, technically. Our ninja's area already taking official missions. They're just not raking in enough money to really do anything. Which is why we need to somehow get a mass amount of start - up funds. Though trading jobs in exchange for them doing jobs for us might be something. But then again, I'm not sure how we can swing that to be benificial when our ninja already work for money. And we can just use the money to hire workers instead rather than getting complicated on some kind of worker exchange program.Roarky said:Um, moneylenders.. That seems like a terrible idea to me, even shady ones, as they will most likely go for the more profitable option of SELLING INFORMATION ABOUT US. Even if they don't right away, as soon as they are paid back, and we are starting to stabilize as a village, they will do so to earn an extra profit. That's assuming they don't do so before then out of fear we'll kill them before paying them back, or just after to keep them quiet (which would also send up flags for the professional spies and assassins looking for us. I'll think about your other suggestions when I'm home, and not on a ridiculously small cell screen.
**Edit** Okay, now that I'm home, I'll admit how I typed it looks more abrasive than I meant it to, but I feel my point still stands. The moneylenders can easily lean on us by setting hunter-nin on or trails, and them suddenly disappearing would have the same effect. Raiding places without using enough chakra to make it obvious we're missing-nin might be a good idea, but until we're better established taking official missions would also be suspicious and have us being looked into. If, however, some of the richer bandit gangs were wiped out by "Rival Gangs" or a band of traveling mercenaries who were just passing through and thought it might be worth a reward, we might be able to swing that.
Alternately, we could exchange some jobs for repairs or supplies instead of conventional funding for a short time to cover the repair expenses. If those same bandit groups came across the unfortunate workmen as they headed home, we could keep them quiet about the new monks as well. You know, the odd ones that had a secret, underground compound dug under their shrine and had all sorts of secret passageways installed. And their odd meditative practices that involved sitting on the sides of trees.
Anyway, Maybe we're making this more complicated than it has to be.
[X] Send out the Ninja to raid all the bandit camps in the area for supplies and 'workers'.
[X] Have some nin recon about the area, points of interest, local power structure, population census, resource report.
[X] Talk to Nara san about his earlier comments on advantages of Shrine country
.
If it worked for Lina Inverse the Bandit Killer. Hopefully it'll work for us.
