The country of bears, Tianlan City.

The Land of Bears is located on a peninsula in the southeast of the Hokage Continent, which is long and narrow in shape, connected to the mainland by only a narrow piece of land, and most of it belongs to the Land of Fire.

And in the direction of this peninsula near the land of water, there is also a thriving trading nation, the country of bears. Tianlan City is the only deep-water harbor in the Bear Country, and it is also the largest city in the Bear Country.

The country is surrounded by the land of fire and the land of water, and there is little room for external attack. Therefore, although there is also a ninja village called "Star Ninja Village" in the country, the daimyo knows his position very well, so he has always been honest and willing to be a vassal of the Fire Country.

However, due to the development of commerce, with Tianlan City as the center, the country of bears has a large group of merchants. With a near monopoly on most of the trade between the Land of Water and the continent, it is not too much for these merchants to say that they are rich. In many cases, the decisions they jointly promoted were not even possible to oppose even the daimyo of Kuma no Kuni.

Naturally, the merchants who act with interests as their starting point will not be as deferent to the Land of Fire as the Daimyo of the Bear Country, and driven by interests, almost none of these big merchants have no personal contact with the Land of Water. Some of these merchants are the eyes and ears of the Water Nation.

The high-level leaders of the Fire Country are not ignorant of this situation, but due to the undercurrent between the two major families of Konoha over the years, the Thousand Hands Clan and the Uchiha Clan, and the situation in Konoha Village is treacherous, they have not had the energy to project the infiltration of the Water Country into the Bear Country.

By now, the merchants of Tianlan City have almost completed their de facto independence, and they have become a big trend. Today's Tianlan City, in addition to paying a certain amount of taxes to the Daimyo of Kuma no Kuni every year, has almost completely stopped obeying all the edicts of the Daimyo.

At the same time, Tianlan City has naturally become the intelligence center on the southeast side of the Hokage Continent, where intelligence personnel from various countries, mainly the Fire Country and the Water Country, carry out endless temptations, exchanges, compromises, and assassinations.

Sitting on a rather wealthy ox cart, Shui Wuyueqi slowly introduced the situation of the Bear Country to a few people around him, while looking at the scenery of the Bear Country outside the car window with great interest.

And Yayoi and the others all knelt down respectfully, listening carefully to Shui Wuyueqi's introduction. The likes and dislikes for a certain person or a force that are occasionally revealed in Shui Wuyue's words are extremely valuable information for them.

As he spoke, Shui Wuyue suddenly sighed and said softly: "The world says that my Shui Wuyue, Kaguya, and Ghost Lantern are also wealthy clans in the ninja world, but how big is the entire Water Country, how can we compare with the Thousand Hands of Konoha and the Uchiha?"

Without waiting for others to answer, Shui Wuyueqi took the initiative to say again: "Fighting back and forth in the country of water, after all, the amount of equipment is too small. In the future, we will work together to occupy a piece of land on the mainland and force Konoha to make concessions to us, which can be called a career. ”

Several people heard that this was said to the ghost lamp Huali, and they all looked at her.

Although the ghost lantern Huali is young, she has seen a lot of similar things, and she knows what she should do at this time, so she hurriedly sat up straight and replied carefully: "My lord is right, Huali will definitely remember your teachings." ”

Shui Wuyue Qi glanced at her and said with a smile: "You have the Blood Inheritance Limit in your body, if nothing else, the Ghost Lantern Clan will definitely fall into your hands in the future." You have to remember that when you make a decision, you are not only making a decision for yourself, but also for the future of the Ghost Lantern Clan. ”

After that, Shui Wuyueqi closed his eyes and said, "Presumably your family has arrangements here, so you can leave by yourself." This time your clan moved to the mainland, but it was a move to survive with a broken arm. Remember, if Hideki Ghost Lamp left your father's old ministry in the Land of Water, you should be careful. Alright, you can go out on your own. ”

Ghost Lantern Huali raised her head slightly, carefully looked at Shui Wuyueqi's expressionless face, gritted her teeth, stood up and saluted Shui Wuyueqi, and then got out of the car directly.

Yayoi's hand lightly pressed on the ninja bag at his waist, staring closely at the petite back of the ghost lantern Hanari, his gaze uncertain, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Yayoi felt a chill on the back of her hand, raised her head, and met the calm eyes of Shangshui Wuyueqi.

"Trust me. ”

He said.
