Chapter 149: Infiltrating the Misty Ninja Village
Merchant ships sailed the sea for several days to reach the land of water.
Far from the mainland and surrounded by the sea, the land of water is an island country made up of various islands.
Because it is located at sea, there is little communication with the outside world, and even communication with other countries basically depends on maritime trade.
The main source of income for the Water Nation is also through maritime trade, as it is surrounded by the sea and is rich in a variety of fish, and many merchants exchange other daily necessities for fish.
Merchant ships like Zilaiya dock at least dozens a day.
Because there were too many ships coming and going, the ninjas who checked it didn't take it too seriously, so they swept it and let it go.
When the merchant ships entered the territory of the land of water, Yamanaka saw the country shrouded in dense fog clearly.
The ships were docked in the harbor, and there were already fifty or sixty ships docked around, and the shore was particularly lively.
The shouting and shouting came and went, and it was hard to imagine that this was during the war years.
Jiraiya patted Yamanaka Yuan, and Yamanaka Yuan immediately pretended to be a rich man, holding his big belly, and swaggering after Jiraiya and got off the boat.
As soon as he got off the boat, several people dressed as misty ninja surrounded him, and Jiraiya glanced at the mountain, signaling him not to move.
After a few ninjas came up, they behaved very politely, and they talked to them casually, and after a few ninjas determined that they were also local tyrants, they became more respectful.
After a few ninjas left, Jiraiya said to Yamanaka Yuan: "Most of the ninjas patrolling here are shinobi, and these shinobi have been specially instructed by the daimyo to be polite to the merchants. ”
"Why is that? Merchants shouldn't be cautious when dealing with ninjas when they have money, right? "Yamanaka is a little puzzled.
"Stupid, these merchants are the most important source of income for the land of water, in other words, the merchants are their food and clothing, and if the ninja offends these merchants because of their bad attitude, it will be a huge loss to the country of water."
After listening to Jiraiya's explanation, Yamanaka Yuan also understood a little. The use of the water country is to create a feeling that the rich are the masters, and even the ninjas can call and drink.
Civilians command ninjas, and this strong gap is indeed satisfying.
The purpose of the two of them on this trip was to collect information about the Fog Ninja Village, and infiltrating the Fog Ninja Village was definitely the best and most direct way.
However, the Misty Ninja Village is heavily guarded, and just now Yamanaka Yuan also noticed that there is a layer of enchantment around the Misty Ninja Village, and if you break in, you will definitely be discovered.
Yamanaka Yuan noticed, as a veteran of collecting intelligence, of course Jiraiya also found out, but Jiraiya was not in a hurry, and walked around with Yamanaka Yuan.
After a big turn, Jiraiya seemed to have gained something, and then he took Yamanaka Yuan to the largest hotel on the outskirts of Misty Ninja Village.
Originally, Yamanaka Yuan thought that the way to obtain information was also a place where there were many people like hotels and inns.
But he didn't expect that as soon as the two of them sat down, they would order a full table of delicious food and drink.
"That's too much, isn't it?" Yamanaka said as he looked at the dishes on the table.
"What do you know, just shut up and eat, someone will take us into the Fog Ninja Village soon!" Jiraiya looked at Yamanaka Yuan with disdain.
Yamanaka Yuan was a little confused, but seeing that Jiraiya was confident, he didn't ask again, but obediently picked up his chopsticks and ate them.
Jiraiya orders the most expensive dishes on the menu, and the land of water is rich in seafood, and these dishes are all authentic seafood.
Yamanaka Yuan was a northerner in his previous life, and in this life, he has eaten a lot of fish and shrimp in Konoha, but this kind of seafood feast, he really hasn't eaten it since he was reincarnated in Konoha.
Let him eat it, of course, Yamanaka Yuan will not be polite.
There are too many things to order, and they are too expensive to alarm the hotel owner, which is a rare kind of guest.
To be able to open such a big hotel on the outskirts of Kiri Ninja Village, the hotel owner is certainly not an ordinary person.
The owner of the hotel is actually a daimyo of the Land of Water, and he is responsible for receiving some distinguished guests. It's rare to see someone like Jiraiya who has such a generous shot.
So the hotel owner went upstairs in person, planning to say hello to the "local tyrant" of Jiraiya.
"Buckle-" Yamanaka, who was feasting, was stunned for a moment, and Jiraiya motioned for him to continue, and then said, "Please come in." ”
The hotel owner pushed the door in, and he was a little surprised to look at the hungry ghost reincarnated in the mountain, and then at the far opposite of the mountain, and his eyes lit up.
Ziraiya's expression was full of disdain when he looked at Yamanaka at this time, looking like he had never seen the world. It was this kind of look that made the hotel owner sure that he was not an ordinary person.
"Hello, my lord! Under is the owner of this hotel, Yamada Chokyo. "The owner of the hotel took the initiative to say hello to Zilai.
Jiraiya glanced at him, squeezed out a smile, and said lightly: "Boss Yamada, hello, my name is Sanzhou." ”
"It turned out to be Mishu-sama, I don't know where you're from, my lord?" The hotel owner then asked.
"I'm from the Land of Iron, and this guy is from the Land of Rain."
Hearing that Jiraiya claimed to be from the Land of Iron, Yamada Nagakyo breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't a country that was at war with the Land of Water, maybe it could really make a big deal, and then just make sure whether this person was from the Land of Iron or not.
The two continued to talk, from the geographical location of the Iron Country, to the customs and customs, and from the customs to military politics.
Everything Jiraiya said was not different from what he Yamada Nagakyo knew, and Yamada Nagakyo rolled his eyes and asked the last question.
"Mifune-sama, it is said that during the Second Ninja World War, the iron country-general Mifune-sama once defeated Sanshoyu Hanzo, I don't know if this is it..."
"Smack!" Jiraiya pretended to be angry, stood up and said, "I don't know where you heard the rumors, for samurai, reputation is as important as life. Mifune-sama lost to Sanshoyu Hanzo back then, and he never said that he defeated Sanshoyu Hanzo, please don't listen to rumors and insult Mifune-sama's credibility. ”
Yamada Nagakyo thought that Jiraiya was really angry, and hurriedly persuaded: "I'm sorry, Mifune-sama, I'm also hearsay, don't be angry." ”
Seeing that Jiraiya reacted with such understanding, Yamada Nagakyo completely believed that the person in front of him was a merchant from the Iron Country.
After finally appeasing the "furious" Jiraiya, Yamada Nagakyo hurriedly asked Jiraiya what he wanted to buy on this trip.
Without the slightest hesitation, he said that the purpose of his trip was to buy rare metals to make the decapitation broadsword.
Yamada Changjing was stunned, he knew that this was a big customer in front of him, but he didn't expect that this customer was not ordinarily big.
Yamada Nagasyo felt that he was about to be developed, he knew the metal for forging the decapitation broadsword, and the Misty Ninja Village still had some reserves, and he also intended to sell one or two small pieces for money.
Thinking of this, Yamada Nagasyo hurriedly said: "Lord Mifune, today you are in the right place today, I can introduce you to help you facilitate this transaction, but this money..."
Jiraiya pretended to be suspicious and looked at Yamada Nagasyo for a long time. Then he took out a few small bags with some hesitation and opened the smallest one for Yamada Nagasyo to see.
Yamada Nagakyo has seen a lot of treasures, and at a glance he can see that the contents of Jiraiya's bag are very valuable.
"Once the deal is complete, this thing is yours!" Jiraiya pretended to be a little painful and said.
When Yamada Nagakyo heard this, his face flushed with excitement, and then he immediately said that he would rest assured that this business would definitely be successful.
