It's late at night, but Yunyin, an increasingly prosperous city, still has a few all-nighters. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Where's the boss?" A platinum-blonde haired, burly Yun Ren put down the wine in his hand and asked a little strangely.
"The boss is outβhiccupβEdge, you kid, why did you come?"
Opposite him was a bald fellow, with a gray beard, and his chest covered with hideous tattoos because of the heat of wine, and it looked like he had drunk a lot before he came, so that the man's eyes were a little vain, which showed that he was fat under his flabby muscles.
Although the various scars looming like medals tell the extraordinary of his youth, Aige subconsciously assessed it and felt that within twenty moves, it was enough to kill him now.
"Hahaha-" The drunken bald man sat next to Edge, put his arm around his shoulders, and leaned closer, "But since you're here, I'll have a drink with my seniors." β
"Yes, Ji-sama."
Ai Qi smiled humbly and drank with him - after all, he was a retired ninja, in the years when the bald head Ji was at his peak, it was difficult to say whether Ai Qi could take Ji twenty moves, like the three generations of "A" adults, who were nearly half a hundred years old and still maintained a strong physique, after all, they were very few.
It's not just a matter of exercise intensity, it's a miracle that comes from strict self-control, abstinence from alcohol, abstinence, and a private wellness team that spends a lot of money every year.
"Boss looks happy tonight, Edge, what's going on?" Another dark-skinned man, who was also no small age, sat diagonally across from him.
"I think," Edge put down his glass and guessed, "maybe it has something to do with the messengers of Iwa Shinobi and Konoha." β
Perhaps the glass of wine at the banquet served a bigger purpose, Aitch thought to himself, secretly amused.
"Going to war?" Ji tilted his head, looked at him with drunken eyes, and shouted loudly: "Boss, I know best, it must be a fight, it can't be wrong!" β
The black man laughed: "Ji, after so many years of retirement, you haven't changed your temperament?" Even if you want to fight, you are a man who builds a house, what are you so happy to do? β
Aitch didn't know what was going on in other countries, but the so-called "production ninjas" were forbidden in the Land of Thunder - replaced by ninjas who were disabled due to injuries, or who were no longer fit for the battlefield due to age.
Yunyin Ninja Village originally had a ninja retirement system, but in the past, only ninjas who had made meritorious contributions could have a stable source of income after retiring, while other ninjas who failed to make enough military achievements and retired for various reasons could only rely on meager relief funds to spend the rest of their lives.
In the past, there have been cases of retired ninjas making a living from other jobs, but firstly, the number of such ninjas is extremely rare and sufficient to form an effect for others to emulate, and secondly, most of the ninjas who have to retire are either injured or disabled, and have no skills to make money.
The third generation of Lei is extremely disgusted with the ninjas in the compilation engaging in those "weak jobs", thinking that it will wear down the will and combat effectiveness of the cloud ninja, but he is very supportive of the participation of retired ninjas in this matter.
The retired Yun Ren is the boss, and Yun Yin Village provides them with financial loans to help them cultivate a group of workers and apprentices who have mastered the knowledge of chakra cultivation, and engage in all walks of life, this model was born at about the same time as the chakra factory model passed from the cat ninja, and may even be earlier.
The people who drank with the Thunder Shadow in front of him were the best of those retired ninjas who had made their fortune a few years ago and had used the Chakra Worker mode earlier than the big merchants and nobles of the Land of Thunder.
They also have at least nearly a thousand skilled chakra workers under them, monopolizing the entire Yunyin's technology output window to the outside world, and mastering the core of many emerging industries.
Frankly speaking, behind them is the Yunyin Ninja Village.
Aitch took another glass of wine, thinking about how to speak.
Today, the three generations of Lei Ying summoned these old subordinates, not just to reminisce about the past, but also to probe their tone for some things.
Lord Thunder Shadow "just happened" to go out, which left a little room for them to communicate privately as subordinates.
"It's not necessary to fight," Aitch said casually, "You see, there is such a big thing in the Land of Rain, and it can't be fought. β
"That's it," another short-haired man said, disapprovingly, "Now everyone is busy doing business and making money, and they can't even count the money, so how can they have time to go to war!" β
The black man, who seemed to be the leader of the group, slapped the short-haired man on the head and laughed, "You're in the eye of the money." β
After a pause, as if unintentionally, he poured wine for Aitch and said, "What, what did the boss say?" β
This person has eyes, and Aitch gave him a thumbs up in his heart, but his face didn't show it: "The boss doesn't care about this matter." β
"The boss, the boss said to fight - we are brothers, and we will never be ambiguous!" The bald head Ji who spoke with a bit of a big tongue lay on Aitch's back and wagged his fingers and inserted a sentence.
Aiqi smiled and shook his head: "The boss has been busy with Konoha and Iwa Shinobi recently, so how can I pay attention to that small place in the Land of Rain." β
"Konoha and Iwa Shinobi? Don't they all want to form an alliance with us, is there something else? The dark-skinned man asked with a frown.
"Didn't the boss talk to you about this a few days ago?" Aitch gave a hint.
"You meanβ" The short-haired man's eyes lit up.
The news brought by the messenger of the Iwa Shinobi, Inoue Nagaken, said that the Daimyo of the Land Country had decided to open up the "national contribution system", and the first to bear the brunt was the Tsuchikage Onoki, and it is said that the Daimyo thought that Onoki had worked hard for many years, and that he wanted to seal a city not far from the capital to the Liangliang family as a fief, and to grant the family crest to the knighthood.
Although the entire continent has entered the era of ninjas in the past few decades, it is still the dream of many ninjas to be recognized by the state and officially become a nobleman like a samurai.
How can Ohnogi, the first to eat crabs, not be envied?
The crowd that was still noisy suddenly fell silent, which is why Aitch must avoid Thunder Shadow to talk about it.
The black man was silent for a long time this time, and finally, he put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and prepared to speak in a deep voice: "I ......"
Smack-
Ji, who had been staggering, suddenly leaned over and pressed the palm of the black man's hand.
Obviously covered with a fog of drunken eyes, at this moment suddenly polished the window as bright as a scary: "Daimyo wants to give us something?!" β
