"Some, nothing. You won't hear about them unless you get out of the village and realize how big the world is outside of here."
Shikamaru's been outside on enough draft and missions now that that shouldn't be such a surprise anymore. It is constantly.
"Others, though? They can impact our entire way of life. Even civilians interact with the Malnosso military thanks to drafts. If you volunteer for missions you'll see more of them. The scientists are always experimenting on the villagers. There's rogues among them that kidnap people sometimes for individual experiments or tortures on top of that. There's farmers who grow our food, pencil-pushers who act as our PR... The list goes on."
Those are just examples. The point of it Shikamaru gets to now, steepling his fingers.
"There's internal problems as you can guess, from what I mentioned about the Rogues. Big tree keeps growing away from it's roots like that, eventually you can't see all the branches."
