Chapter 44: Preparing for the Way Back
In the early morning of Konoha, although it is just autumn, you can feel a trace of coolness.
Compared with the coolness brought by the climate, Autumn Dao Daji's heart suddenly became cool and cool.
Where did he think that Sean's reaction would be so big that he wanted to give up the business.
When Sean knew that the secret recipe of the Bingliang Pill was actually slightly improved by Autumn Dao Daiki, and it was called his original, Sean couldn't wait to pry open Akido Daiki's head to see if it was made of water or tofu.
He was optimistic about the uniqueness and exclusivity of Bing Liang Pill Change, he thought that only Qiu Dao Daji knew the secret recipe, and if they let them do this business by themselves, it would be a monopoly. Thinking of how profitable the monopoly business is, Sean didn't even think much about it and reached an agreement with Qiu Dao Daji to buy shares, he just wanted to make money, but he didn't want to be wronged.
Others don't know the recipe of the Autumn Daojia barbecue because as a consumer there is no such demand.
If you wait until the Soldier Grain Pill is sold, the ninja of the Autumn Daoist family will taste it and say how long it will take to crack the Autumn Road Daiji version of the Soldier Grain Pill Change, and at that time, the Autumn Daoist family will put pressure on the Autumn Road Daiji, coupled with the financial resources over the years, how can the two little grasshoppers of Sean and Autumn Dao Daji withstand it.
Sean still understands the truth that his arms can't twist his thighs, and he can't go up recklessly every time to open up the situation, it's too unreckless.
Sean closed his eyes and held his head high, not saying a word.
Qiu Dao Daji was in a hurry.
Qiu Dao Daji was afraid that Sean would regret not investing in the business, and if he let him fight alone, wouldn't he be embarrassing him.
had to hurriedly explain: "Yongtai, don't be angry, you also know that the reason why the Qiu Dao family's barbecue is prosperous is that it can't rely on ancestral secret recipes." Speaking of which, I blame me for this, and I should have made it clear to you sooner, but I can guarantee that my Soldier Food Pill has been changed to a further improved formula, and no one from the clan will come to us for trouble. If you're still worried, I'll hold my father's thigh, crying and shouting for him to make decisions for me, and there will never be anyone from the Qiu Dao family interfering in our business. ”
"Can you guarantee it?" Sean didn't embarrass him, he wanted to ask for money in order to stop being a ninja. After the matter between Tomigashi Asahi and Shizuka Jukawa is completed, Sean can not only provide a certain amount of funds to support their marriage, but also pay off Tomigashi Asahi's kindness to let him eat and live for nothing over the years.
With a stable income, what else do you want to be a ninja, and hold on to the Bing Grain Pill Change, who dares to have a bad relationship with yourself.
Qiu Dao Daji nodded and affirmed: "I promise, I will never let you suffer, believe me." ”
"Okay."
This morning, the two came to an agreement.
Sean used five million taels to buy shares, and split the account fifty-fifty. Autumn Road is in charge of the production process and dealing with the difficulties on the surface, and Sean is in charge of channel sales and dealing with some unsightly things.
In this way, a shop called M Bean was opened, selling different types of Bingliang pills exclusively.
Dozens of flavors of Bing Grain Pills are the best choice for ninja travel, because the secret recipe is firmly held in the hands of the owner of M Bean, and with its outstanding taste, it has established a large market in Konoha.
Of course, that's another story.
While Sean and Akimichi Daiki were busy with M Bean's affairs wholeheartedly, two major events happened to Konoha, and both of them had something to do with Sean to a greater or lesser extent.
One is that Konoha announced that Orochimaru had become a traitor and was put on the village's bounty order.
Another thing shook the foundation of Konoha for decades, the strongest and largest bloodstain boundary family Uchiha was wiped out overnight, except for Uchiha Itachi who was identified as the murderer of the extermination clan and was rewarded, the huge Uchiha family was left with a child studying in the ninja school.
"Naruto, what you said is true? The Uchiha family is all destroyed? When he heard the news, Sean looked incredulous.
"Well, it's all the news outside, and Sasuke, who is in my class, hasn't been to school in a few days." Naruto Uzumaki's expression was a little strange, but Sean, who was shocked by the news of the Uchiha's extermination, didn't notice.
"I see, Naruto, don't go outside to train after school these days, just go home, and I'll let Asahiko Tomigashi guide you on the side. Naruto remembered, don't run around, if you find a suspicious person, remember, don't follow the hero, come back and tell Tomigashi Asahi or me ......" Sean glared at him, and found that Naruto was not listening to himself with his head down, and couldn't help but accentuate his tone, "Remember?" ”
"Ah...... Well, remember, I'll tell you or Uncle Tomigashi as soon as possible. ”
"Well, you go home first, talk to Asahi Tomigashi, and let him guide your after-school training later."
After saying that, Sean left the house in a hurry, he was going to M Bean to find Akido Daiki and confirm Naruto's news.
Orochimaru's defection had already put him, Akido Daiki and Mitarai Red Bean in a passive environment, because he directly knew that Shangnin had defected, and they could be okay as students.
The worst is the Mitarai red bean, and the red bean that is closest to Orochimaru among the three is that before Sean and Akido Daiki were assigned to Orochimaru, they already had a master-apprentice relationship. After Orochimaru's defection, the unconscious Mitarai Red Bean was found in Orochimaru's underground laboratory, and when Akimichi Daiki learned about it, he almost collapsed. In his heart, it is obviously Konoha's three ninjas, so why should a powerful ninja attack the red bean who respects him the most.
But fortunately, Mitarai Red Bean was well after a long treatment and saved his life.
But the matter is far from over, Orochimaru is classified as a traitor, and he escaped, and before he was caught, his disciples and people close to him could not escape the investigation.
After waking up Mitarai Red Bean, after getting the news of Orochimaru's defection, he fainted again, and according to Dr. Jukawa's meaning, this child can't be stimulated recently.
So under the high-pressure measures of Dr. Jukawa, Mitarai Red Bean was isolated and treated, whether it was Sean and they wanted to visit, or the ninjas in the shadows wanted to interrogate Mitarai Red Bean, they were refused.
Under the protection of Dr. Jukawa, although Mitarai Red Bean is not in danger for the time being, what Orochimaru did still hit this young girl who is not deeply involved in the world a heavy blow.
Sean and Akido Daiki are not so lucky, Mitarai Red Bean has the protection of Dr. Jukawa, and the ninjas in the shadows dare not make a mistake.
But for him and Qiu Dao Daji, that is, how ruthless it is.
is busy with M bean's business, and Orochimaru has become a hands-off shopkeeper early, so it can be said that since he came back from the country of grass, Sean has not seen Orochimaru, let alone knows what kind of inhumane experiments Orochimaru is doing.
Konoha's shadows and torture ninjas don't let him and Akimichi Daiki go.
It can be said that there is a small trial in three days, and a big trial in five days, if it weren't for the scruples that there is a hard-working Tomigashi Asahi behind Sean, and there is an Autumn Daoist behind the Autumn Dao Daji, Sean would even suspect that these guys would directly throw them into prison and torture them slowly.
In the end, the two got rid of suspicion, but they didn't win.
This incident had a great impact on Sean, and after being announced that he was fine, Sean also planned to wait for the end of this turmoil to retire from his career as a ninja, and make a lot of money with Bing Food Pill and "The Toilet Boy in Wooden Pile Village" with peace of mind, and eat lying down.
They were discriminated against because of Orochimaru's defection, and as far as Sean knew, at least thirty percent of the ninjas still suspected that they were complicit in Orochimaru's despicable experiments, and they had to be tortured with harsher punishments.
When Sean felt the atmosphere around him that was wrong, he almost pulled Akido Daiki to follow in Orochimaru's footsteps directly and defected to Konoha.
According to Sean's words at the time, "They are already discussing the use of mind-reading techniques against a few of us to find evidence of collusion with Orochimaru in our brains." Regardless of whether their approach will be supported by the three generations of purposes, as long as they find a little clue that can be linked to Orochimaru, then they will make money. But we know for ourselves that we don't know what kind of experiment Orochimaru is doing, and we are not qualified to participate in it at all, so to speak, this is Orochimaru's personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with us.
Daji, it's not that my ideas are despicable, Konoha is in a bad environment right now. Orochimaru's affair lifted the fig leaf of the seemingly peaceful Konoha and I guess that the ninjas who shouted to torture us with words and deeds were either in private contact with Orochimaru and wanted to kill us and get rid of the relationship, or they just saw that Orochimaru was not pleasing to the eye and wanted to take this opportunity to completely eradicate Orochimaru's influence in Konoha.
Either way, we have to be prepared. Let's escape, we have the recipe for the Soldier Food Pill Change, it's a big deal to go to the Iron Country to make a comeback, and you won't be able to starve to death. ”
Sean's words are not unreasonable, and the Autumn Dao Daji, who was born in the Autumn Daoist family, knows that the brighter the surface, the more terrifying the hidden darkness is.
Actually, without Sean discussing with him, Akido Daji remembered what his father said.
"We have money, where can we live happily. Daji, you also have your own business now, if those Sun Smash still hold on to this matter, Dad will ask someone to send you to the Iron Country. When the time comes, Konoha's M beans can be handed over to me to help you take care of, and the man is ambitious in all directions, so you can rest assured that you can go to the Iron Country to break out of the sky. ”
The words that came out of his father's mouth could move Qiu Dao Daji badly.
Look at this is my father, desperately trying to turn his face with Konoha and save his life, but I feel that something is wrong when I listen to it.
After Akimichi Daiki relayed the meaning of his own father and himself to Sean in the same way, the two hit it off, if Konoha really wanted to transfer their resentment against Orochimaru to the two of them.
If you don't stay here, you have your own place to stay, and as soon as the two of them leave, maybe they will have a greater opportunity to go to the Iron Country.
In the end, the two settled down in Konoha because the spicy man spoke.
If it weren't for the final decision of the ape flying sun slash, a few shinobi would have nothing to do with this matter, Sean and the others would probably be directly tortured by the mind-reading technique of the Yamanaka clan, which is a ninjutsu that becomes an idiot even if it is not dead.
Sean still didn't know that when he was brought back to Konoha by Tomigashi Asahi, he had already been tortured by the mind-reading technique of the Yamanaka clan, otherwise, he would definitely not continue to stay in Konoha because of a compromise with Akimichi Daiki.
After this turmoil, Sean also understands who is behind the scenes.
Konoha has several special groups, one is the Hokage faction led by Sarutobi Sunslash, and they are also the speakers of Konoha on the bright side, which includes the major families that support Sarutobi Sunslash, the dark part centered on Sarutobi Sunslash's will, and several ninjas who have a teacher-student relationship with Sarutobi are counted as Sarutobi Sunslash's power.
For this group's style of doing things, Sean can't say that he doesn't appreciate or have much disgust, at least during the reign of Sarutobi Hiza, the speed of Konoha development is not slow.
The reason why he doesn't look down on this group of people, more or less, Sean is still a little disgusted with the ninja group.
Another group that sets off the Sarutobi faction is the group centered on the Hokage's auxiliary Shimura Danzo, and the main force is called Root.
Sean has seen Tuanzang, but he has no deep friendship. The man with a scarred face gives people a very gloomy feeling.
The first impression of meeting was in Orochimaru's stronghold, when Orochimaru was mainly to tell Sean, Akido Daiki and Mitarai Azuki that his experiment was at a critical juncture, and during this time he would not lead the ninja to guide them to do the task, and if there was nothing important, don't come to him,
For this kind of person who wants to be good-looking, and has affinity but no affinity, Sean disdains to have too much communication with him, and the two of them have only met twice.
Of course, both sides are just Sean's impressions.
The first time I saw Danzo, it was Orochimaru who didn't defect, and when he had the character of a knowledgeable and good teacher, when he left Orochimaru's stronghold, he glanced at Shimura Danzo who came to find Orochimaru, and then there was no more.
The second meeting made Sean confirm that the person who was going to engage himself and Akido Daiki behind his back was Shimura Danzo, and when the two continued to run M beans after the two recuperated, Shimura Danzou appeared.
Originally, under the strong pressure of Sarutobi Hichi, Sean and Akido Daiki were sent to the Yamanaka clan to accept the voice of torture by the mind reading technique, and this matter has been closed at the official level. The reason why it was confirmed that Shimura Danzo was behind it was because Danzang took the initiative to come to the door and negotiate with Sean.
The negotiation was very simple.
Shimura Danzou got straight to the point and said, "Hand over the recipe for the Bing Food Pill, and the food that can improve the ninja's combat ability must be handed over to Konoha for safekeeping." ”
Sean looked confused after hearing this, who are you, uncle, this is a business matter, and our M beans have not evaded taxes or paid bribes, why do you want us to hand it over?
Shimura Danzo doesn't care, for the sake of Konoha's future, for Konoha's plan, he stood on the moral high ground from the beginning, threatening Sean to hand over the formula, otherwise he wanted to be unfavorable to Konoha through the Bing Grain Pill Change, and the spies from other villages were going to be caught and tortured severely.
At that time, Qiu Dao Daji panicked, if it wasn't for Sean to stop him, he would almost hand over the formula to ask for peace.
The shadow of the tree of human name is terrifying.
Sean doesn't know the status of Shimura Danzo, but Akido Daiki does.
What a terrible existence this guy who is always hiding in the shadows of Konoha and the leader of the roots, who is extremely suspicious, cautious, insidious, tough-handed, distrusts others, and can't tolerate the slightest omission that may occur.
No matter how terrible it is, is it more powerful than Calder?
Sean was killed 103,000 times under Calder's fingers, how could he be afraid of the threatening Shimura Danzo.
"Delivery...... It's impossible to hand it over. It's not your management, and if you go to the third generation to ask for an order, I don't want to be a ninja. Sean laughed.
Tuan Zang was angry, and the hand holding the crutch was bruised, but the years of cultivation made him not break out, his face remained unchanged, and he said, "This is what you mean?" Or is it that the Qiu Daoist wants to be the enemy of the old man? ”
Autumn Dao Daji was covered by Sean's mouth, so he had to keep shaking his head.
Dare to ask everyone in Konoha, who wants to be remembered by the Shimura group.
Akimichi Daiki often heard his father say that he would rather offend Hokage-sama than be targeted by Shimura Danzo.
To put it simply, some people will use the rules to play this game, while some people will use madness in the rules game to make people afraid, not to mention, the power in Shimura's hands should not be underestimated.
Sean was not affected by Shimura's momentum at all, but stared at him coldly.
"Don't talk big, there's a kind of thing we can talk about this in front of the three generations, but I'm curious if Konoha has a tradition of handing over his secret recipe. If the three generations nod and say yes, M Beans will never hold back, and they will hand it over immediately. We not only hand over the original formula, but also hand over the formula that is being improved. ”
Sean is like a rainbow and doesn't let him take a step, in fact, he doesn't know if Konoha has any regulations for merchants to hand in secret recipes, he is gambling, it's a big deal to lose the bet on the M beans that closed Konoha and go to other countries to start again.
He doesn't have to rely on Konoha either.
Autumn Dao Daji understood Sean's eyes, and he didn't make any more trouble, and handed over this matter to Sean to deal with.
Obviously, Shimura Danzo's behavior was personal.
Hearing that Sean was going to drag him to the ape flying sun to discuss the result, he was naturally empty.
But people are theoretically empty, and they are still strong in momentum.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, the exposed one-eyed looked at Sean coldly, as if he wanted to remember this boy who didn't know the height of the sky.
"Okay, you're good, I hope you won't regret it in the future." After saying that, Shimura Danzou didn't talk much nonsense, turned around and left.
Just as Akimichi Daiki breathed a sigh of relief and planned to make a good calculation of this matter with Sean, Sean looked at the back of Shimura Danzou and said his guess.
"Are you behind it? There is no doubt that I am referring to the person who previously denounced me and Daji, did you arrange it? ”
Ignoring Akido Daiki, who had been pulling his sleeve, Sean had always had a suspicion that after being tortured before, it had been confirmed that he and Akido Daiki had nothing to do with Orochimaru's defection, why there were still so many people in the village who did not let them go.
There is no push behind this, and Sean doesn't believe it.
"What do you think?" Shimura Danzo left without stopping.
"Of course I think it's you who made the hell, and the plan didn't work out and came to the door, what is it if it's not a black hand."
When he looked back, Sean found that Autumn Dao Daji's face was pale.
"What's wrong with you?"
It took a long time for Akimichi Daiki to regain his composure, glared at Sean, and sighed: "Yuta, you shouldn't refuse him, do you know that he is the Hokage's assistant, not only that, but my father also said that the leader of Konoha's largest underground armed force is also this person." It's nothing for us to hand over a formula, anyway, M Beans have already made a name for themselves, so it's good to give him some market share and ask for peace. ”
"Hahaha, I thought you were going to say something, it turned out that I was scared by him, hahaha, Daji, you are too timid."
"You're still laughing, I'm not thinking about it for us." Qiu Dao Daji's face darkened, who did he relay what his father said bitterly, if he didn't appreciate it, he laughed at him.
Mind my friend, I can't do it.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."
"Let's prepare for the back road, we can't put all our business in Konoha."
