Escape From Konoha

The land of wind, the hidden sand village.

The vast yellow sand is laid on the ground, endless as far as the eye can see.

In this endless sea of ​​sand and dust, the Sand Hidden Ninja Village was built in such a harsh environment.

Except for the color of the sand, in the vicinity of Shayin Village, there are basically no other bright colors to be seen.

The surrounding area of ​​the village is surrounded by steep sandstones, and the terrain environment with medium low and high circumference brings enough security to Shayin Village and is also conducive to the dredging of groundwater veins.

Taking advantage of this natural geographical advantage, the outer layer of the village is tightly surrounded, and the sandy ninja standing guard there can command a commanding view of the environment below.

Only the main entrance has a narrow passage, which runs through the inside and outside of the village, which is called the "One Line of Heaven".

Unless it is from the air, it is very difficult for outsiders to raid from the front without permission.

The sinister environment of the thin line of the sky will make intruders daunted.

Based on such a favorable environment, Shayin Village has survived very comfortably in the desert for decades.

Among the yellow sand in the sky, the spherical sandstone buildings are the landmark buildings of Shayin Village. From the residential buildings to the Fengying Building, this kind of building structure with a relatively smooth appearance is basically adopted, which is conducive to preventing sand and dust in the desert. environment.

At this moment, in the conference room of Fengying Building, the senior leaders of Shayin, headed by the fourth generation Fengying Luosha, are having a large-scale meeting once a month.

Twelve chairs surround the huge stone round table in the center, and in addition to that, there are potted cactus plants in the conference room, which is quiet and empty.

This is also related to the geographical environment of the Land of Winds.

Most of the country's environment is a desert with no way to use resources and lack of plants. For Shayin Village, wooden furniture is very expensive.

The village's land suitable for growing herbal medicine is also very scarce. Although Shayin Village has first-class medical technology, it is difficult to expand its scale. This is the fundamental reason.

But for this, Luo Sha, who is a contemporary Fengying, can only choose to succumb. The environment of Shayin Village is so bad.

And many times, most of the funds that Sandyin Village took from the Wind Kingdom Daimyo were used for military development.

For example, research on tailed beast technology, expand the scale of ninjas, and develop sophisticated ninja tools to ensure that during the war, the combat power will not be insufficient.

The twelve seats were filled with people. Except for Kazekage Luosha, the other eleven people were the elders of Shayin Village, or the very influential Joinin in the village, who held important management positions.

"...Above, regarding the planning and training of the younger generation of ninjas in the next few years, let's continue to implement the previous policy. In the next few years, I hope you can cooperate more."

Luo Sha made a brief summary of the ninja training plan in Shayin Village, and hoped to work together with the elders of Shayin.

"Master Fengying is very polite. In recent years, there have been excellent younger generations emerging in our village. The leading role of Lord Fengying is indispensable."

An elder said with a smile.

The rest of the elders also nodded frequently. Not to mention their strength, Fengying Luosha's one-handed gold dust technique solved many problems in Shayin Village.

Their village now has a lot of military funds, all of which are earned by Luo Sha using his own ability to mine placer gold, not only all of them are obtained from the daimyo of the Land of Winds.

In view of this, Sandyin Village has recovered from the weak period after the Third Ninja World War in recent years, and it is even stronger than that during the Third Ninja World War.

"Without the concerted efforts of all the elders, I would not be able to achieve this point. In short, let's move forward together."

Rosa responded with a smile.

The Land of Winds was originally a big country with the most scarce resources among the five major countries, and most of the land area was a desert that could not be cultivated.

Food and water sources are bigger problems, and they rely heavily on imports.

The food mainly comes from the surrounding small countries such as the country of bears, the country of quietness, and the country of birds, and the water source mainly comes from the country of rain which rains all the year round.

Just in case, inside Shayin Village, there is also a storage space, which reserves a large amount of food and water in case of emergency.

"The planning of the village, let's end here. Regarding the content of the next meeting, there are issues related to the country of ghosts, which need to be discussed and resolved with everyone."

When Luo Sha said this, her expression was rather embarrassed.

"The land of ghosts? Are they here again? It's really troublesome."

Hearing Luo Sha mentioning the name of this country, all the elders Sha Yin here mentioned God.

Since the Third Ninja World War, the country of Oni has achieved an economic boom that attracted the attention of the five major countries.

Countless big businessmen have gathered in Ziyuan City for business, making it the most prosperous commercial metropolis in the ninja world. According to the statistics of professionals, the tax revenue of the country of ghosts in the last three years is close to that of the country of fire, the first of the five countries. Its economy The strength is among the best in the ninja world.

The developed pharmaceutical industry, entertainment industry, shipbuilding industry, machinery industrialization capacity, etc. are the capital that many businessmen flock to.

As a result, the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce has developed into the No. 1 Chamber of Commerce in the Ninja World. In terms of business status, it surpassed the Federation of Fire Nation Chamber of Commerce and achieved a truly wealthy country.

It stands to reason that this country and Shayin Village will not have much connection.

The crux of the problem is that during the Third Ninja World War, due to the shortage of funds for the war in Sandyin Village at that time, the diplomats of the country of wind at that time negotiated with the manager of the Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce in the land of ghosts to guarantee Sandyin Village. , I hope that the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association will open a huge loan to Shayin Village.

At that time, the loan business of the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association had just started. In the face of such a big customer as Shayin Village and the official personnel of the Land of Winds as a guarantee, they happily granted Shayin Village a large amount of military expenses for the war.

Sandyin Village also promised to repay the loan within the specified time.

After calculating the time, in fact, more than two years ago, it was the date when Shayin Village should repay the loan, but because of diplomatic interference, I asked the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association to continue to give some more grace.

This time, it proves that the grace date more than two years ago has also arrived.

The elders Sha Yin sitting in the conference room, like Luo Sha, were somewhat embarrassed.

The reason is very simple. The amount of the loan is huge. In order to develop its military power in the past few years, Shayin Village has already spent seventy-eighty-eight of the funds approved above. How can it still be able to pay off the loan of the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce?

Luo Sha also saw the embarrassment of the elders, so he coughed and said, "Just in the morning, the diplomats from the Kingdom of Ghosts have arrived here, and I hope our Shayin side will repay the loan as soon as possible, so as not to cause dishonesty. No second loan."

"There is no shortage of development funds in the country of ghosts. Can't they give it a little more grace?"

The Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce is not a private chamber of commerce in the country of ghosts, but is officially owned by the country of ghosts. It is a government official of the country of ghosts. Basically, it can represent the official financial department of the country of ghosts.

The reason why it is still named after the Chamber of Commerce is that the Shiyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce was originally a private chamber of commerce, and was later incorporated into the government system of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"I can't say the same. We should have repaid that loan more than two years ago. The Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association continued to extend grace for more than two years in the face of our Shayin Village, and it has done its best. I think it should be possible Appropriately reduce the military expenditure, make up the share of the arrears, and return it to the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, so as not to lose trust."

An elder shook his head.

"However, in that case, how can we develop the village? The military expenses that the daimyo pays us every year are fixed. It's not that we don't want to pay it back, but that we really have no ability to pay it back."

"Squeeze a squeeze and still have it?"

"The village needs funds to develop."

Another elder directly blocked the conversation, and most elders quite agreed with this point of view.

Although it was Shayin Village's loss, the loan amount to Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association at that time was too large. If it is made up at this time, it is likely to affect the development plan of Shayin Village in the next few years, which is equivalent to making Shayin Village in the future. Inactive for several years.

Such a thing must never happen.

The peace era is one of the few important transition periods when they can accelerate the development of military power. At this time, they must have a racing spirit and be fully prepared for the next ninja war.

If the loan was repaid, Shayin Village would lose to the rest of the Ninja Village in the race. It was impossible to think of such a thing.

"Lord Fengying, what are your thoughts?"

This matter was debated, in fact, it only revolved around the issue of repayment or not, but in the end, it was Fengying himself who made the decision.

After looking around the conference room, Luo Sha said to the elders of Shayin: "Actually, I think that this kind of thing cannot be decided by our Shayin village alone. As we all know, our Shayin village is a military force belonging to the country of wind Institutions, even if they borrow money from other countries, should be asked for it from the Daming House. After all, when the loan was borrowed, officials next to the big name were there as guarantees."

"Fengying-sama means..."

The elders Sha Yin present here are not stupid, and immediately understood Sha Yin's intention.

"Lord Fengying is right. Since Damyo sent officials as a guarantee at that time, it is still up to Damyo to repay the loan. We, Sandyin, have no right to interfere in this kind of thing."

"Yeah, the big name is the top manager of the country of wind. It is really unlawful for people from the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association to come to us to ask for the arrears."

The wind changed immediately, and everyone knew that this was a good way.

Anyway, we can't let Shayin Village take out the money, otherwise the development of Shayin Village will stop in the next few years, and the gap with the strong ninja villages such as Konoha will become bigger and bigger.

"Since the elders have agreed, then I will respond to the diplomats of the country of ghosts like this."

Luo Sha breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, before that, he had already negotiated with the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind, and his decision was actually approved by the daimyo of the Kingdom of the Wind.

As long as both parties keep shirking each other's repayment responsibilities and extending the repayment date indefinitely.

With the military power of the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Ghosts, as a small country, would not dare to make military threats.

As for the economic threat, when the time comes, let the sandy ninja troops walk around the country of ghosts, and the matter can be resolved satisfactorily.

In Luo Sha's view, this matter was finally passed successfully.

He didn't believe that the Kingdom of Ghosts had always dared to hold on to this matter, and dared to provoke Fengying and the Kingdom of Wind at the same time.

If it wasn't for its status as a neutral country, it might use the witch's abilities in the future. Luo Sha would not take the country of ghosts seriously.

Without a strong military force as a foundation, a business empire built up is just a castle in the air, and it will shatter at a touch.

It's not that they are afraid of their status as neutral countries. In history, there are many examples of neutral countries involved in wars. The country of ghosts is just a little bit special among the neutral countries.

For the Land of Wind, it is not whether it is possible to oppress a neutral country by military means, but it is just a question of whether or not to think about it.

After all, the country of ghosts is still looking at the ninja world with the traditional weak country thinking.

In this ninja world, the strong have always been respected.

The power of ninja is the only eternal theme of this ninja world.

◎

In the office, while making hot tea, Shiraishi casually watched the report presented by the diplomat, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

"Not as I expected, Shayin Village really intends to do this."

In fact, he does not need to interpret in detail, he can also know all the contents of this report.

He had expected this situation from more than two years ago when Shayin Village delayed the repayment date.

Shiraishi was not surprised to do such a thing based on the ugly appearance of Shayin Village in the Land of Rain in the past.

"What do you do next, Shiroishi-sama?"

The man standing in front of Shiroishi asked.

His face is ordinary, the nails of his fingers are cracked, and his skin is rough, and he looks like a farmer who often works in the fields.

The actual identity is a member of the military intelligence department of the country of ghosts, serving as the captain.

Code-named Ugly Niu, Shiraishi's trusted subordinate.

"The preconditions for bordering the Land of Winds are almost complete. Next, we just need to guide the situation in a direction that is beneficial to the Land of Ghosts."

"That is to say..."

The ugly cow narrowed his eyes.

"Well, just as you think, the country of the bear can close the net. I'll leave the order to you, ugly cow."

"Yes, I understand."

Ugly Niu nodded, assisting the Ninja of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the Kingdom of Bears to complete the plan to gather the Kingdom of Bears, which was originally his task.

Over the years, the Kingdom of Ghosts has been operating in the Kingdom of Bears secretly for a long time, and even many officials of the Kingdom of Bears have replaced their people, not to mention the underlying organizations, and the base is even larger.

The reason why I chose to do it now is to prevent mistakes in the plan, which will cause the entire plan to be blocked.

But now, there is no need to act so low-key at all.

"Then, Shiroishi-sama, I'll take my leave first."

"Go."

Baishi nodded and watched the ugly cow leave.

After Ugly Niu left, Shiraishi began to take out a new document and read it.

After a while, the door rang again, and a man walked in from outside.

Wearing a black coat embroidered with the emblem of Shion flowers, and carrying a heavy-looking black leather case, it gives a mysterious image of taciturn.

On his chest, there is also a golden circular nameplate made of pure gold, which also has the pattern of aster flowers.

And this kind of nameplate represents the identity certificate of the debt collector of Shi Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association, and it is also the highest-level gold medal debt collector.

"Mr. Jiaodu, it's been a long time, but nothing has changed."

Shiraishi put down the document in his hand and smiled at the gold-medal debt collector.

"We are each other in this regard."

Kaoru stared at Shiraishi's face.

In the past few years, Shiraishi's appearance has basically not changed in his opinion.

Obviously a man in his thirties, he still looks like a young man in his twenties.

The same goes for the two women beside him, maintaining their beautiful youth at the age of eighteen or nineteen.

Thinking that the other party is a medical ninja, and he used to be a student of Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, in Konoha, it is not surprising.

There are thousands of ninjutsu in the ninja world, and the types are not the same. The ninjutsu that maintains youth and prolongs life also exists in the ninja world.

I myself is a perfect example.

As long as you can replenish enough hearts, you can live forever and look at all the historical vicissitudes of this world for a long time.

"As a matter of fact, this time, Mr. Koto, who is a gold-medal debt collector, is here. There is one thing I would like to ask you for."

Shiraishi straightened his face and started talking about business.

"I don't think it's an easy thing to ask you to personally ask."

When Shiraishi suddenly came over, Kaoru knew that the other party had come to ask for his own business, and it would definitely not be an easy task.

"This is a bill sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Please take a look, Mr. Jiaodu."

Shiraishi picked up a form.

The horns stepped forward to take it, and his eyes quickly glanced at it.

"It turns out that Shayin Village exceeded the deadline and failed to repay on time. Does it need to be collected? However, this level of things should not be a job that I can touch as a debt collector."

Kakuto said eloquently.

Even if he has become the only gold-medal debt collector in the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association with his extraordinary ability in recent years, he is not qualified to intervene in this kind of thing.

This kind of thing is not something that a debt collector can manage. It involves the national level and needs to be formally negotiated by diplomats and the Kingdom of Wind.

"But now the wind shadow of Sandyin Village and the name of the country of wind are shirking the responsibility of each other, and no one is willing to give an accurate answer. This makes our diplomats very headache. It is conceivable that they have no sincerity at all. Pay the debt back."

"So, what do you mean..."

The corners narrowed their eyes, and the voice was a little low.

He had long known that the land of ghosts would not be content with the status quo.

On the surface, business is prosperous, but what is even more terrifying than business is the military organization that is hidden in the depths and never shows its presence.

People's understanding of the country of ghosts is only the tip of the iceberg.

When the entire iceberg under the water fully emerges, it will definitely shock the entire ninja world.

"Since they are playing football with each other, we can only use our own means to receive the debt. After all, isn't it just right to pay the debt?"

At this moment, Shiraishi put his hands on the table, raised his chin at will, and asked with a smile from the opposite corner.

"Haha... That's right, paying debts is a matter of course. It's just that I didn't expect that you were planning the Land of Wind so early. The military's ambitions are really big enough."

Kaoru also smiled, not so much as malicious, but because he saw something that made him feel very interesting.

He didn't know about the military's plans, because he didn't dare to be interested in work other than debt collection.

He can make these guesses, but only from enough information to come up with an answer that is most in line with the interests of the country of ghosts.

It's just that he didn't expect that the first target of the ghost country would be a country at the level of the five major countries.

"Then, I will ask Mr. Koto to do the debt collection work in the Land of Wind."

"I see. Collecting debt from a country is an unprecedented challenge, and I'll do it."

Kakuto said with a sigh, and accepted Shiraishi's request.

Maybe he will see some very interesting things next. The era of the five kingdoms dominating the ninja world is likely to be gone forever.

But what does this have to do with him?

He's just a debt collector.

Debt collection is his job.

Whether it is an individual, an organization, or a country who owes money, all are treated equally in front of debt collectors.

No one can match a debt collector's obsession with money.

Sunny morning.

The daimyo of the Land of Winds got up and dressed normally under the service of the maid, and suddenly, the maid cried out in a low voice, as if she saw something incredible.

"What's wrong?"

On the bloated and slightly old face of the famous name of the Kingdom of Wind, the skin and flesh were wrinkled together, and he was very dissatisfied with the maid's fussing behavior.

"My lord, this..."

The maid picked up a piece of clean white paper from the bed, the back of the white paper was red, with red letters clearly written on the back.

"What is this? Did you put it?"

The name of the Kingdom of Wind narrowed his eyes, he didn't remember that he had such a piece of paper beside the bed last night.

"No, I just discovered it."

"Look what's written on it."

"Yes."

The maid nodded tremblingly, unfolded the font on the white paper, and wrote the words 'repay the money' in bright red paint.

Pay back?

The name of the Kingdom of Wind frowned, these two words made him think of a very unpleasant thing.

Also, who put this piece of paper in?

With such doubts in mind, he took this piece of paper from the maid's hand, smashed it into a ball, threw it on the ground, and walked out of the room quickly.

Going outside, the wind kingdom daimyo suddenly saw the two ninja guards waiting at the door, who had fainted on the ground at some point.

In the courtyard, the colors of red and white complement each other~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The white paper is painted with red fonts, whether it is on the walls, on the pillars, on the edge of the pond, or even on the floor, all stickers like this white paper.

And the words 'repay the money' were written on the white paper without exception.

The famous face of the Land of Wind, whose face was full of flesh, immediately trembled in anger, and the words 'repay the money' on the white paper made his eyes feel extremely stinging.

Who is it?

Who on earth dares to be so bold, dare to do something wrong in the big name mansion, and don't want to die?

And thinking that the ninja guards at the door collapsed to the ground, and the other ninjas protecting him in the dark didn't react at all to the things in the courtyard, Da Ming of the Kingdom of Wind suddenly thought of something, and then his face showed a look of fear.

To be able to knock out the ninja guard beside him silently, if the person who does this kind of thing has the intention to kill him, isn't it...

The name of the Wind Kingdom's body trembled, and panic rose from the bottom of his heart.
