147 Another, more important factor
Since he had known that something was wrong with the Chamber of Commerce in the Land of Waves, Zhou Jian Min had already prepared the follow-up matters before they could travel.
For example, in the Chamber of Commerce that promoted the country of waves, there were no available talents who had defected in this incident; and part of the ship's mother who stayed in the country of waves instead of her and temporarily took charge of the Chamber of Commerce.
However, it is precisely because there are some sufficient preparations in advance, so after replacing all the directors of the Chamber of Commerce who betrayed, the Zhenzhou family did not seem so stretched on the side of the Chamber of Commerce of the Wave Country.
What's more, there are also huge assets scavenged from Cardo, and Zhou Jian Wen is generally quite satisfied with the rectification work of the Bo Zhi Kuni Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, after knowing that there was a problem on the side of the Wave Country Chamber of Commerce, which was controlled by the Mashu family, Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi originally thought that there would be a problem with the formation of the Funaken arrangement.
Who would have thought...... Zhou Jianwen said that as long as he stayed for three days, he would only stay for three days, and he didn't even stay longer for one night.
It can only be said that there is no last resort, and it is Zhou Jian Min.
It took three days to completely finish the inspection and rectification work on the side of the country of waves, and Minu Funakami thoroughly showed his high efficiency to Kakashi Hachiki and Itachi Uchiha, and then returned to the "merchant ship" that could be called a luxurious "merchant ship" with his group again.
Although the Nelson, which was chosen by Funakami to be a merchant ship because of its wooden skin, seems to fit the background of this era, it is essentially a modern battleship, and its internal structure will not change in any way.
Luckily, the distance from the country of waves to the country of birds at the second stop wasn't too far, and the barrier that had been laid out in Nelson's main body beforehand, and Kakashi and Itachi weren't people who were curious enough to look around in other ships.
So until they arrived in the Land of Birds, neither Kakashi Hachiki nor Itachi Uchiha noticed anything wrong with the ship they were on.
The Land of Birds is located on a peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the land on land borders the Land of Thunder, one of the five great powers.
Luckily, the Bird Country is not a big country, otherwise the direct battle between the two countries would have been fierce - of course, if the Land of Thunder really fought with its neighbors for a long time, it would not be a bad thing for the people of the other countries.
At least that way, the people of the Land of Thunder won't be too ambitious to do and hit the eyes of Konoha and the Hyuga clan with their ideas.
Yes, not long ago, the Hyuga family was solved because of the commission of Bo Feng Shuimen...... Maybe it's still the crisis of the entire Konoha Funaka Min, the idea that the people of the Land of Thunder have nothing to do and come to Konoha to fight the white eyes is because they are now in the armistice period, and they are really idle, so they have nothing to do.
What if you really can't get the white eyes of the Hyuga family and fight with Konoha who has always been strong, and I don't know that the people of the Land of Thunder, who have only enjoyed peace for a few years, will not follow.
You must know that the current Thunder Shadow did not get too much bargain from Konoha's current Hokage Bo Feng Shui Gate in the Third Ninja World War.
Even though those two were not the "shadows" of their respective villages back then, and now that so many years have passed, the name of the "golden flash" of the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate still exists, and if there is a battle between the shadows of the two ninja villages, no matter what the outcome is, there will always be a big loss of morale on one side.
"So there are only two kinds of troubles in this world," said the group, after disembarking from the boat, and set off in a horse-drawn carriage towards the nearest hotel.
The Mafune family's chamber of commerce in the Bird Country is a certain distance from the dock where they disembarked, and Funaka and Haruno Sakura, who have already spent the day on the boat, are really not suitable to continue their journey, so it is best to take a rest at the nearest inn.
Because of the day's boat ride, Haruno Sakura, who has not recovered at this time, has rarely read a book; At this moment, after hearing Zhou Jianwen's evaluation, she looked up at Zhou Jianwen with a confused expression, "Huh? ”
"One is not full and hungry, and the other is full of food," Zhou Jian said to the little girl sitting on his left hand side with a blank face, "and the kind of idle and idle, not thinking about how to improve their national quality and strength, and only thinking about how to benefit themselves in a way that harms others, is a typical person who is full of food and support." ”
- How can anyone who is really hungry have such idle work?
The Uchiha Itachi, who was also sitting in the carriage, remained silent after hearing Zhou Jian Min's words, but the little girl sitting next to Zhou Jian Wen nodded seriously, "Well, I understand. ”
The strange silence spread in the carriage for a moment, and just as Uchiha Itachi began to slander this little girl for being under the education of Zhou Jian Min, she heard the little girl ask in her soft voice:
"Then Lord Jianwen, is there any way to distinguish whether that person is full of food and support, or not full and hungry?"
Hearing the little girl's question, Zhou Jianwen immediately smiled with satisfaction, "That's a good question, you see those who sneak around all day long and don't dare to show up directly, shouting all day long to make the whole world despair, or if you want to start the kind of plan that is stupid when you hear it, you have to cooperate with everyone......"
The little girl blinked and said with a look of "I understand", "...... That's basically a full meal? ”
However, Zhou Jian Wen shook his head.
"No, those are basically hungry," she said to the little girl beside her with a serious expression and tone, "but they are not the same as ordinary people who are hungry and hungry, because after they have experienced despair, they feel that the whole world is like him." ”
"So they're trying to use their stupid brains to save the world."
Minu Funaken quietly glanced at the Uchiha Itachi who was quietly listening to his conversation with Sakura Haruno, and then withdrew his gaze before the other party was about to find out, "But as a result, their actions are no different from the people who caused them pain. ”
The little girl tilted her head and pondered for a moment, "Isn't this only bringing more hatred and pain to them?" ”
Zhou Jianwen nodded, "That's true, yes, maybe in their opinion, as long as they experience despair once, they can understand their mood and understand their intentions, and even stand on the same front as them." ”
"But what they don't know is that not all people are as fragile as they are, and not all of them will abandon their original intentions after experiencing despair."
Zhou Jian Wen reached out and gently touched the little girl's soft pink hair, "So Sakura should remember, no matter what you go through in the future, don't give up easily, and don't lose confidence in the world because of the loss of the people around you." ”
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, you can learn medical ninjutsu through your own efforts, and then save a lost life with your own hands; However, we must not use any evil ways to tamper with or even prevent this kind of thing from happening. ”
The little girl blinked, "Lord Jianwen, don't be joking, how can this kind of thing be tampered with and stopped?" ”
"Well...... Actually, it's not impossible. ”
Sakura Haruno, who had always grown up in a normal or abnormal education in Zhoujian Minna, heard this, and immediately looked at her, "Don't fool me, Lord Jianwen".
But compared to the little girl who has not been exposed to all kinds of strange ninjutsu and forbidden arts, and has not become a ninja and has performed a mission; Uchiha Itachi, who was sitting across from her, and Kakashi Hachiki, who was sitting outside the car, immediately showed some subtle expressions after hearing Minu Funaken's words.
Life Forbidden Technique –
This forbidden technique that can change one's life may exist, but both Kakashi and Itachi have only heard of it but have never seen it with their own eyes; Now that they heard Zhou Jianwen say this, they were a little skeptical that Zhou Jianwen had ever seen it, or even ......
Used.
It's no wonder that they think so, because Zhou Jianwen's current condition is really like what happened after using life ban.
After all, Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi had heard about what happened on the battlefield of the Second Shinobi World War - from their teachers and cousins, respectively, but the key part of that incident, the three parties still keep their mouths shut.
In other words, what happened at that time, except for Zhou Jian Min, Bai Lan, and Uchiha Tanji, there is really no fourth person who knows.
- Including Tsunade Ji, who treated Zhou Jian Wen that day.
So not to mention Kakashi Hachiki and Itachi Uchiha, the rest of Konoha - even the three generations of Hokage and the advisory group - couldn't be sure if Minu Funaken had used the Life Forbidden Jutsu back then.
The little girl frowned, and looked at Zhou Jianwen who said inexplicable words a little strangely, "Lord Jianwen? ”
"No, it's nothing," Funaka waved his hand, and was about to say something more when Kaga's voice, who was sitting outside the carriage, suddenly sounded—
"Lord Jianwen, the hotel has arrived."
When the little girl heard Kaga say this, she didn't care about the life forbidden technique anymore, and hurriedly moved to the side of the car door with the help of Akagi, and then slightly lifted the curtain and looked at the scene outside the car through the gap.
Compared to the land of fire, which is rich in all five major countries, and the country of waves, which is relatively scarce in resources because it is a small island country located in the sea, the country of birds is a different kind of scene.
It is a country that is so vast in vegetation that at first glance it is full of greenery, with lush forests and birds, and it can be called calm and peaceful.
"Look, Lord Kanto," the little girl who had been eager to get off was the first to get out of the carriage after the carriage slowly stopped at the door of the inn, and then she seemed to see something, pointing to the sky and shouting excitedly.
With Kaga's support, the last to get out of the carriage was Funaken Min, who looked where the little girl was pointing, and saw only the shadows of flocks of migratory birds flapping their wings and flying into the distance.
Because of the dazzling sunlight, Zhou Jianwen, who covered his right hand in front of him, shook his head a little funny, "Look at what excites you." ”
The little girl quickly stuck out her tongue, then pulled Zhou Jianwen's sleeve and shook it gently, and began to be coquettish.
When she was still in the port area, Zhou Jianwen couldn't bear this trick used by her own destroyer to herself, and now her destroyers don't often appear by her side because of the world background, but she doesn't want this little girl who was raised by her to learn this trick.
- I don't know who taught her.
After glancing at the girls of their own ships who couldn't help but hide their mouths and smile after seeing this scene, Zhou Jianwen secretly sighed in his heart, and then reached out and rubbed the little girl's hair, "Let's go to the hotel first, and the rest of the ...... More on that later. ”
When they were in the country of waves before, because of the problem of checking accounts and rectifying, she really didn't accompany the little girl very well.
Seeing that the little girl had practiced with Kakashi and Itachi quite seriously and diligently a few days ago, Zhou Jianwen felt that it was nothing to follow her for once—it was impossible for her little girl to make any wayward demands anyway.
Out of all considerations, Zhou Jianwen basically stayed under her own property as long as conditions permitted when she went out this time - although she was one of the five nobles in the Corpse Soul Realm back then, she had many properties under her name, but for various reasons, she finally opened the Void Night Palace copy.
Now that he has come to this world with various copies, Zhou Jianwen feels that he can finally enjoy the treatment of a domineering president this time.
"Lord Jianwen," the person in charge of the inn was instructed early in the morning, and after seeing the arrival of the carriage of the Zhenzhou family, the innkeeper who had already brought a group of maids at the door immediately greeted her, "You have had a hard journey, the room and the food and drinks have been prepared for you, please enjoy it slowly." ”
Zhou Jianwen nodded, "Good work, Bai Jin." ”
In addition to establishing inns and taverns in coastal cities and some of the more prosperous inland cities, there is also the import and export trade of special products in various places.
The country of birds and the country of waves, which are countries with seaports, are undoubtedly the most beneficial in these two aspects.
As for what else could be a specialty of a seaside city? Nature is a variety of aquatic products.
However, I've had a seafood dinner for three days in a row, and I've spent two days and one night at sea, and now I don't want to see any seafood-related food for the time being, whether it's Minu Funaken, Sakura Haruno, or anyone else in the company.
- Even if these sumptuous foods are placed in the mainland of the Fire Country, they are completely expensive.
But fortunately, the proprietress of the inn in the country of birds, Bai Jin, is a smart person, and after considering that the people of the boat and the party are from the country of waves, most of the food sent is mainly vegetables and other meats, supplemented by seafood.
This thoughtful gesture won the unanimous praise of Minu Funaken and his party, including Kakashi and Itachi.
After lunch, which was a little late in terms of time, Minu Funaken and Sakura Haruno, who were sleepy when they were full of food and drink, also took a nap in the room prepared by the proprietress for a while, and looking at the big and small ones sleeping soundly on the sun-dried beds, Veneto and Kaga Akagi couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Lord Jianwen was really tired the first two days."
The three shipwives and the two ninjas each lined up for their shifts, and then Uchiha Itachi and Akagi guarded the door, while Kakashi and Kaga, who were in charge of driving the car, followed Veneto to drink tea in the house.
Although the five of them are still in the same room, the three of them who are in a state of rest do not need to be too forbidden in the end.
"Actually, I don't think Lord Ken doesn't want to stay in the country of waves for a while," Veneto pondered for a moment, as Zhou Kei Min's secretary ship, she obviously knew more about some of Zhou Kei Min's unspeakable thoughts, "It's just for some reason that she insisted on her original plan and decided to go directly." ”
Fortunately, the life on the ship was already experienced in the map of the previous chapter, so I didn't rush and felt uncomfortable.
"Ah, I can see this too," Kaga said in a lower voice along with Veneto, "Actually, if you want me to say, it's definitely not that Lord Kentom is chilled by the matter of the Wave Country Chamber of Commerce, but there is definitely something else." ”
Veneto nodded, the rebellion of the steward of the Wave Country Chamber of Commerce can't make her own commander feel cold - if someone in the ship mother betrays, it's okay.
But the decision not to stay in the country of Wave is definitely because of some reason.
For example...... There's someone she doesn't want to meet on the Wave Country, or there's someone she wants to meet on the Bird Country side.
Or rather, it had something to do with the two ninjas who were their guards.
Ever since Kakashi Hachiki and Itachi Uchiha came to Mashu's house together the day before their trip, Veneto and the others had already seen that their commander's lady trusted the two of them, even to the point of not having the slightest suspicion.
But these two people are not Zhou Jianwen's own people after all, after all, in this world, the ship's mother who can be regarded as her own is born and died with her...... Maybe there is also Sakura Haruno, who was raised by her own hands.
No matter who the others are, it is impossible for Zhou Jian to be 100% trusted.
It's just that everyone knows these words in their hearts, and it's impossible to say them in front of Kakashi and Itachi, who also know this, so after Veneto and Kaga exchanged glances, they tacitly chose to change the topic, "Speaking of which, what did Kanto-sama mean by what he said in the car just now?" ”
Although Kaga was sitting outside the car and was in charge of driving, he didn't miss Min's words—of course, Kakashi next to her certainly didn't miss it.
But the question is......
What did she say all this for all of a sudden?
Kaga doesn't think that his own commander is someone who makes something out of nothing...... Well, she was someone who didn't make something out of nothing except in non-combat periods, so she must have her own intentions in saying this.
Maybe in the near future, or maybe it was a long time later, her words would definitely have an impact on Sakura Haruno beyond education.
Wait, is it possible that the little girl will really meet the kind of person who goes through despair and frustration in the future, and then wants to use the means called salvation but revenge to make the world feel pain?
Veneto, who also thought of this, immediately showed a subtle expression, and then said dryly, "I want to be Mistress Jianwen...... I guess I have my own considerations......"
"After all, Lord Jian Wen has been on the battlefield before, and has seen too many life and death, so he may be afraid that Sakura will not be able to bear it after encountering the same thing...... That's why I first taught her to grow up healthily and be positive...... Well. ”
In the end, even Veneto herself felt that she couldn't make it up, so she could only imitate Zhou Jianwen's tone when she was talking nonsense to outsiders and hurriedly put an end to it, and then ......
Unsurprisingly, Kaga and Akagi sitting at the door of the room had a playful gaze.
Veneto glared at them, and was about to say something more, when he heard the sound of Susuo coming from behind the door of the room where Akagi was leaning, followed by the sound of a conversation between Minu Funaya and Sakura Haruno in a low voice.
The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and just when they suspected that their voice might have woken Zhou Jianwen up, they heard Zhou Jianwen's voice full of thick nasal voices from the room across the door—
"Sure enough, Veneto won my heart......
Because they couldn't see Zhou Jianwen's expression at the moment, the three of them ...... and the two men who were silent but listened to the audience didn't know what Zhou Jianwen thought, but the heavy ridicule in Zhou Jianwen's words was not fake.
"But in addition to growing up healthy and positive, there is actually another more important factor in becoming a good ninja."
"That factor has nothing to do with the birth of the family, neither the amount of chakra nor the secret ninjutsu, nor the blood inheritance boundary."
Funa, who was still lying on the bed and didn't know if she was really woken up by the conversation of her own ship's mother, looked at Sakura Haruno, who was also awake next to her, and then asked the little girl with a smile, "Does Sakura know what it is?" ”
Even if she deliberately lowered her voice, she couldn't hide it from the ears of those ninjas and ship girls outside the house—not to mention that she didn't lower her voice at all.
So the people outside the house naturally heard her question that was mainly about Sakura Haruno.
Compared to the ship girls who have long been accustomed to the behavior patterns of their own commanders, so they have long been surprised by her various strange problems, Kakashi Hachiki and Itachi Uchiha, who are ninjas themselves, fell into deep thought because of this question of Funaken Min.
It's not ridiculously naïve to sound like a healthy growth positive - let alone in Konoha Ninja School, no ninja school in the five major countries will put this in the textbook of basic education.
But it's also not a factor in the general perception of ninjas that is about the strength of a ninja.
So what could it be?
"I know, I know!"
The little girl's voice, as delicate as she had impressed her, came out of the room, with the excitement and joy of being able to answer the questions posed by the Lord Kenwen, whom she had always loved:
"It's the brain!"
"Because Lady Kanwen once said, 'Brains are a good thing, and I hope everyone can bring one,' so brains are the most important thing for ninjas!"
Kakashi: ............
Weasel:............
Not to mention what kind of expression was shown by the boat in the house, after hearing the little girl's answer, the room outside was suddenly swept by a strange silence, whether it was Kakashi, who was famous in the dark part of the master, or the genius of the Uchiha clan, at this moment, they all asked in their hearts:
- Lady Jianwen, what did you teach this girl!!
