Escape From Konoha

"Dad, the bandits at the beach are getting a bit serious recently. If you can't go fishing there, it's best not to go there."

When eating breakfast, it came from the advice of her daughter Tsunami.

She looked at her father Dazna with worried eyes.

As the country's leading bridge-building expert, he is very good at building, so he is not only able to build bridges, but also build roads and build houses. Because of these skills, as well as courage, responsibility, and willingness to help others, Dazner is very famous locally and is a celebrity.

Just as a small country, the country of waves does not have ninjas as a military guarantee.

Although big countries don't care about the internal environment of the country of waves, the outbreak of wars by ninjas in big countries often leads to all kinds of serious bandit troubles in small surrounding countries.

These robbers are probably composed of homeless people in war zones. Those who can't survive can only make ends meet by looting.

But in this way, it will suffer the people of the country of waves.

The daimyo and nobles did nothing, and the soldiers under his command were also very weak, which led to the rampant pirates who looted the coastal towns of the Land of Waves.

Even people who went fishing at sea were greatly affected, and their days gradually became depressed.

"This kind of thing doesn't matter, Tsunami. And going fishing is a job. Although I'm a famous bridge-builder, I have to think about my family's livelihood."

Dazna was eating pickled cucumbers and holding steamed buns in his hand, and said to his daughter Tsunami.

"But……"

"No way. Now the only person in the family who can go out to work is me. When Yi grows up, he can take over my job and support the family."

Dazna said earnestly, but also full of helplessness.

Inari is the son of his daughter Tsunami, and he should have had a complete childhood, but the daimyo and nobles forced military conscription in the country in order to target pirates at sea, and many young people were recruited to go to crusade against pirates.

His son-in-law was unfortunately killed in the process of crusade against pirates.

There are many other examples of this. Young men from many families have unfortunately died in the battle against pirates.

The people who stay at home are basically the elderly, women, and young children.

"Then be careful."

"Don't worry, there are many workers who went with me. Even if they encounter pirates, so many people have the power to protect themselves."

Dazner nodded and accepted his daughter Tsunami's kindness.

After all, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer merchants entrusting him to build bridges in the country, and they cannot do their full-time jobs, and can only rely on fishing to maintain their family's livelihood. It is also a breadwinner after all.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, which caught the attention of Dazna and Tsunami.

"What are you doing, it's not time to go fishing at sea, is it so early?"

Dazner put down the steamed bun in his hand and couldn't help complaining.

There should be an hour before the agreed time to prepare.

Before Dazna stood up, Tsunami stood up first.

"I'm coming, Dad."

After saying that, he walked through the corridor and walked towards the entrance.

After a while, there was no movement.

Dazner felt strange, so he shouted: "Tsunami, why is there no voice?"

Not long after, Tsunami came back with a strange look on her face.

"What's the matter? Who's here?"

Dazner asked curiously.

"They didn't say it."

"them?"

"Well, it's very formal. They want to see Dad, and they have something to talk about. Maybe it's a commission."

Tsunami said with a smile.

If so, it would be great. After all, it is too dangerous to go fishing. Even if you go with the rest of the workers, if you are targeted by pirates, you will inevitably suffer casualties.

Tsunami really didn't know what to do if Dazner fell.

"Entrust? This country is so poor, where would anyone come here..."

Although he said so, Dazner stood up from the seat very sincerely, and led by Tsunami, walked towards the entrance together.

The door there was open, and outside the door, five people could be seen standing.

The leader was a very young girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, with long black hair that was as gorgeous as silk, with a shallow smile on her face, and the clothes looked first-class.

Behind her, followed by four adults in uniform and standard clothes, men and women, wearing black coats, maintaining a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Is that a traveling noble lady? Such confusion appeared in Dazner's heart.

"Hello, miss, may I ask, is there anything you have to do with this poor old man?"

Dazna knew that the girl in front was the leader, so he asked her.

"Hello, Mr. Dazner, my name is Chiba Kazuhime, from the land of ghosts."

"The country of ghosts?"

Hearing what the girl said, Dazner was slightly stunned.

Only then did he notice that the black coats of the four guards behind Yiji were embroidered with some kind of flower pattern.

That's an asters.

It is the national flower of the land of ghosts.

This shrine maiden was also named after Shionhua.

"What's the matter with the people from the land of ghosts coming to me? It's the big name who owes the money, and it has nothing to do with me."

Dazner said.

It is not uncommon in China for a big name to owe money.

The country of ghosts has the Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce, the most powerful business in the ninja world, with industries all over the ninja world, and it also provides loan business for the daimyo and nobles of various countries. The name of the Kingdom of Waves was targeted by the debt collectors of the Kingdom of Ghosts because he did not make up the arrears on time.

"Just kidding, Mr. Dazner. I'm here today to simply visit you."

"visit?"

"That's right. I heard that you are a bridge-building expert, and you are a famous person in the local area, and I would like to recruit some workers here in the Land of Waves to help me with some work. I think if there is Mr. Dazner's help , recruiting workers should be a lot easier."

"Recruiting workers? Do you want to do some project in the Land of Waves?"

Dazner looked at Kazuhime strangely.

As we all know, the Land of Waves is a small island country with extremely scarce resources. Even though it faces the sea, the fishing industry and shipping industry are also greatly restricted due to the prevalence of pirates around.

"The specific plan will be discussed in detail later. Then, I won't disturb Dazner for breakfast, goodbye."

Ichiji bowed slightly, and with the four guards, turned her head and left.

"It's really a strange little girl, but, from the land of ghosts..."

Things in the country of ghosts have been very violent recently.

Even the country of waves, which is not well informed, has also obtained some rumors.

War with a big country or something is not at the level that he can reach.

Watching Ichihi and others leave, Dazna stood at the door and fell into a brief thought.

"That, Dad..."

"What's the matter, Tsunami?"

"The lady seems to have brought a gift."

Tsunami pointed to the beautiful gift box that had been placed at the door at some point.

"Uh...how did you accept it?"

Dazner frowned suddenly.

If you accept this gift, many things will not be as easy to refuse as you think.

He is completely confused now, what is the purpose of Yiji's visit to him.

Although he is indeed a well-known bridge-building expert in the Land of Waves, the so-called fame is only more able to speak to the working class.

But in the upper class of the country of waves, he has absolutely no so-called authority.

The aura of Kazuhime always gave him a more majestic feeling than the name of the country of waves.

Can such a big man see these insignificant human resources in his hands?

There is a sense of incongruity and weirdness everywhere.

"I can't help it. I didn't find out until they left."

Tsunami smiled bitterly.

"That's it, then accept it, but don't take it apart. If it's troublesome for her to ask me to do, it's easy to refuse at that time."

Although Dazner didn't know what was in the gift box, it was definitely a precious treasure that a construction worker like him would never see in his life.

It is because of this that if he really opens the contents inside, if things get complicated later, he won't even have a way to go back.

"Don't worry, Dad, it's not the first time I've seen this kind of thing. I'll keep it carefully in the future and don't open it casually."

Tsunami also knew the difficulties of her father Dazna.

Behind the seemingly famous people, there are also many sad experiences.

Especially when dealing with people of the upper class, you have to be more careful so as not to be counted.

"Ugh……"

Dazner sighed and looked at the morning sun.

The days are getting harder and harder. He sighed in his heart.

◎

After visiting Dazna, Kazuhime was not in a hurry to return to the sea cruise as a temporary residence, but went to the town of the land of waves and started a practical investigation.

For practical investigations, Kazuhime has always liked to do it herself, and she, who had studied in Konoha and Kirigakura, also has her own set of methods, rather than simply scripting and calling all cognitions the truth.

You can’t trust the things in the textbooks. Things that are too beautiful sound like heaven, but if you don’t pay attention to the actual situation, but just make changes rudely, you’d better only come up with something that doesn’t look like it, and it may be far from hell. closer.

Any system is actually just a transitional product.

The so-called progress is to constantly put forward new ideas, instead of holding on to the glory of the past and indulging in the vanity of the past.

Konoha's Uchiha was defeated by the complex political environment inside Konoha, but on the other hand, Konoha's Uchiha, suddenly placed in the country of ghosts, would also not be reused. The core values ​​are completely different, how is it possible to integrate. It will take a long time to remodel.

As for Uchiha Itachi, the genocide murderer, Kazuhime just sighed a little and sighed for a while.

Walking in the towns of the Land of Waves, even in the center of the town, the crowds are very sparse, not to mention the types of shops, giving people a feeling of the Great Depression.

In hidden corners, you can also see some shabby shops in pink clubs in operation.

Fierce gangsters with weird hairstyles and colorfully dyed hair, holding iron rods and knives and guns, in the dark alleys, like greedy evil spirits staring at people passing by on the street, seeming to be looking for prey suitable for them . Next to it is a garbage dump.

Black market, gambling, pornography, even in the daytime, you can feel this kind of atmosphere.

Not only pirates, but there are also vicious associations such as gangs in this country, which have become powerful local snakes, relying on various illegal enterprises to obtain funds and territory.

It was not until the sun set in the evening that Kazuhime ended the day's practical investigation.

But only one town was inspected. In the country of waves, there are many such towns. It is necessary to inspect one by one to know what this country really looks like.

Returning to the cruise ship at sea, in the lounge, Kazuhime took the information collected in her hand, turned the pages, and began to think about the next strategy.

"Special clubs, casinos, gang forces... There are so many problems in this country, I am afraid it will not be a matter of time and a half to solve them."

Ichiki frowned in distress.

She knew that the situation in the country of waves might not be as good as she imagined, but she did not expect to secretly accumulate such a huge industrial chain of evil and evil, which was deeply ingrained in the country of waves.

"Miss."

After knocking on the door and getting permission, a ninja from the land of ghosts walked into the lounge and said respectfully to Kazuhime.

"what's up?"

"President Cardo is back."

"Oh? It seems that he has some results on his side. Let him come over."

Cardo has been visiting the daimyo of the country of waves since yesterday morning. Presumably a day has passed, and there will always be a saying there.

Moreover, what is the situation of the daimyo and nobles of the country of waves, she also wants to know more about it.

"Yes."

After the ninja of the land of ghosts went down, not long after that, the door was knocked again.

"Come in."

As Kazuhime's words fell, the door of the lounge was pushed open.

A short, middle-aged man in a black suit walked in.

With a mustache and a pair of round-framed sunglasses, you can faintly see the sharp eyes hidden under the sunglasses, which is very aggressive.

He also held a black iron cane in his hand, which he needed to use for his steps.

Cardo.

It was the name of this middle-aged man.

She was an old man who followed her father Shiraishi in the early days. She once served in the senior management of the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce and led the development direction of Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Technology Company. Later, she transferred to the shipping company under the Chamber of Commerce and served as the president. He has strong personal connections in various countries and is a business-oriented talent with very powerful means.

"How's it going, what's the situation on the Daimyo side? Is there still no way to recover the debt?"

After Cardo came in, Yiji glanced at Cardo and asked him.

"I'm very sorry, Miss. The name of the country of waves is unable to repay the debt. He hopes that we will have a little more grace on our side."

Cardo told the truth.

This has already been confirmed, and Cardo went there this time just to confirm it again.

Or, to say hello to that country of waves.

"As expected, then, where did they use the funds they borrowed from the Chamber of Commerce?"

Kazuhime continued to ask.

"They say that it is used for the construction of the country and the army, as well as the development of the domestic shipping industry and fishing industry."

The Land of Waves is an island country surrounded by the sea, with a very good environment for the development of the boat industry and fishery, which is why the Shiyuan Flower Merchant Association was willing to grant loans to the daimyo of the Land of Waves.

After all, the purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is to make money. If it can't make money back, from the beginning, it will not have anything to do with the name of the country of waves.

As for what Cardo said, it is a rather vague concept.

"In the end, he secretly funded pirates at sea, robbed the business travel of the country of waves, and used it to develop domestic black businesses, right?"

Kazuhime seemed to see through something and said.

"Does Miss already know?"

"The fighting power of those pirates is too strong, and their weapons are also very good. Ordinary people can't raise such a fat pirate strength. Moreover, the black business is so rampant in the place where there is no light in the country, and as a result, there is no turmoil in the country, but it is maintained. A stable balance... Obviously there are external and internal troubles, which is a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it."

Kazuhime told her guess.

Cardo nodded, and the corner of his mouth revealed a very sinister smile to outsiders.

"Indeed, with normal development, there is no way to make money faster than the lucrative industries such as pornography, gambling and drugs. This is a huge profit."

Although the country of waves has a good foundation for the development of the shipping industry and fishing industry, these industries require huge long-term investment of principal.

Moreover, there is no guarantee that it will bring tangible benefits to itself.

After all, the country of Bo is a small country with a very small territory, and there are not many people who come to this country at ordinary times.

In order to settle in for more benefits, open the privileges of some special industries to some merchants in the ninja world, and you can make money lying down.

As for the pirates at sea, it may be the forces under the great name of the country of waves, or it may be some big people who privately funded the army, just in the name of pirates.

At the same time, it also seems that the country of waves is in a difficult situation, and it makes people feel that they can't afford to pay off their debts.

"Find the treasury hidden by the name of the country of waves and those nobles as soon as possible. They must have hidden the collected funds somewhere in this country."

This time she came to the country of waves, and there were ninjas from the Hinata clan in the team.

In front of the white eyes, those treasures are absolutely impossible to hide.

For a small country like the Land of Waves, it is estimated that it is difficult to recruit any powerful ninjas, so be careful to deal with it.

"Yes."

"In addition, find someone to publicize this matter, and strive to have a certain influence in the people of the country of waves. Let's warm up the atmosphere first."

Kazuhime made another request.

The reason for this is just to arouse public opinion among the people, make them question the upper class of the country of waves, deepen the contradictions and conflicts, and lay the groundwork for future reform plans.

The Country of Wave is very close to the Country of Fire. She should pay attention to not only the internal forces of the Country of Wave, but also the external forces.

Because of this, she needs to win over the working-class forces like Dazna.

As long as the country of ghosts does not actively intervene, there is no reason for the country of fire to intervene.

As for how to operate in the dark, that's up to you.

At least the balance on the bright side cannot be destroyed.

Under Kakashi's hard work for many days, the division of the garrison was finally successfully activated again.

Since Konoha's Uchiha clan has been exterminated, the newly-born guard force was temporarily divided into Anbu's department and became another special force to manage various illegal and disorderly events within Konoha.

In this way, Hokage's power has also received a new round of expansion, and the root's response to this is still very calm, without the slightest targeted action, as if acquiescing to such behavior.

Although Mito Kadome and Koharu, who were the consultant duo, were quite critical of this, they proposed to separate the guards from Anbu, but this proposal was rejected by the three generations of Hokage.

Therefore, under the resolute promotion of the three generations of Hokage, a new guard team was established to replace the functions of the Uchiha guard team in the past to manage various illegal and disorderly phenomena within Konoha, and the new Minister of Anbu Hatake Kakashi temporarily replaced it. management position.

"Is there still no accurate reply from Tsunade-sama?"

As the squad leader of Konoha Jōnin, Shikahisa is now more concerned about who will be the next Hokage than the formation of the garrison.

Judging from the many difficulties Konoha is currently facing, the three generations of Hokage are obviously insufficient, and a more courageous Hokage is needed to sweep Konoha's decline.

And whether it's Niizhan, or he, the squad leader of Shangnin, the perfect candidate in his mind is Tsunade, one of the three ninjas.

Chisho's direct lineage, the granddaughter of the first Hokage, the advocate of medical reform, etc., taking into account various factors, there is no more suitable candidate for Hokage than Tsunade among Konoha.

"Jiraiya is trying to persuade, but there is no guarantee when it will be successful."

Ri Zhan took a sip of the cigarette stick and breathed lightly, his words full of helplessness.

Once upon a time, Konoha was full of talented people, and powerful ninjas to deter all countries emerged one after another, making enemy countries dare not act rashly.

But with the passage of time, coupled with the outbreak of the Third Ninja World War, these advantages of Konoha were lost.

Shiraishi committed suicide, Chiba Shiraishi, Uchiha Ruri, and Hyuga Ayanehara, the three members of the White Fang team defected collectively, Tsunade left the Konoha Political Center, Minato died unfortunately, Orochimaru fled the village, and Jai also traveled around the country, He also chose to stay away from the political center of Konoha...

Ri Zhan also imagined that if he did not make mistakes in the past, would he be able to salvage all these tragedies from happening?

No matter what, it won't make Konoha come to the present embarrassing situation.

The country of ghosts rises, Uchiha and Hinata split up there to start a new business, and the development is impressive, but behind the scenes, many people maliciously mock Konoha's incompetence and weakness.

As people get old, they always like to be caught up in the memories of the past, and Hiizhan as Hokage is no exception.

Or maybe it's because there are so many places of regret and remorse that it's easier to fall into this unrealistic fantasy.

Lu Jiu nodded, he just asked casually to find out the situation.

"There is no need to worry about the police force. As for the response, it will take a while to know. But according to my speculation, the problem should not be big."

After all, the guards were hand-selected by him and Kakashi. They were screened from a comprehensive perspective such as strength, character, and belief in the Will of Fire. It can be said that they are all ninjas who are loyal to Konoha and Naruto.

They will never act against the interests of the village.

"I've seen it too. The members in it are very good, as long as they can be put on the agenda as soon as possible. By the way, there is one more thing to discuss with you."

Hizen took out a scroll from the drawer and put it in Shikaku's hand.

After Lu Jiu's time, when he took it apart and looked at it, his brows furrowed.

"Entering the country of waves? What are you trying to do in the country of ghosts?"

The content on the scroll is that a ship in the country of ghosts is docked at the port of the country of waves. There are a number of ninjas and debt collectors on it, all of which are dangerous elements with powerful force.

As the neighboring country of the country of fire, the country of wave, the territory is now being landed and settled by the forces of the country of ghosts from afar. It is a bit unusual to look at things.

"On the surface, they used debt collection as an excuse, but secretly they may plan to stay in the country of Wave for a long time and do something."

There was a vigilant look in Rizhan's eyes.

Kakashi pondered.

Ri Zhan said, and took out another photo, which was a full-body photo of a character.

In the photo, a twelve-year-old girl with three-goose jade writing wheel eyes is shown in the photo, with long black hair pouring out, and a scabbard blade hangs around her waist.

"I remember this girl..."

"Her name is Chiba Kazuhime. She is the daughter of Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri. She once took the alias of Mahiro Kazuhime and entered the Konoha Ninja School as the princess of the country of ghosts. From one point of view, she has perfectly inherited the power of the Uchiha clan. She is the leader of the team of Oni Kingdom when she enters the country of waves. Strength... I am afraid that she is also the leader among the Joinin."

Hiyashiro told the information he had obtained.

Lu Jiu frowned deeper and deeper, obviously feeling the difficulty of the matter~www.wuxiamtl.com~ What did the daimyo say? "

"He hopes that Konoha's side will stay put for the time being, and the officials on their side will control it."

As soon as Ri Zhan's words fell, Lu Jiu understood the reason and said meaningfully: "It seems that the situation over there is more complicated than we imagined. However, I still recommend sending an Anbu team to deal with this matter. Carry out an investigation. Just relying on the power of the daimyo, I think it is very likely that it will not be able to hold back in the end. This situation is bad, and our side will not be passive. "

"You can pass this order to Kakashi, and let him select an elite class of Anbu as soon as possible to sneak into the country of waves to investigate. This is likely to be a new conspiracy in the country of ghosts, and we have to guard against it."

"Yes, then, I'll go down first, Hokage-sama."

Lu Jiu nodded solemnly and turned to leave.

After Lu Jiu left, Ri Zhan stood by the window with his hands on his back, his turbid eyes staring at the village scenery outside the window, a wrinkled expression appeared on his old wrinkled face again, and he sighed.
