"Please!"

The mountain breeze blew into the chieftain's house.

The big merchant Jiuzong knelt down in front of Shikamaru with a very sincere attitude.

Since the granary guard incident, Luyin Village's reputation has become famous, and the number of commissions has skyrocketed. Not only that, but even the commissions that were originally only at the level of the five major powers were transferred to Luyin Village.

"You mean that you want us to send ninjas to help you establish a trade route from the Land of Snow to the Land of Water!"

"Yes!"

Jiuzong lifted up and knelt down again.

"This level of entrustment should be accepted by many villages in large countries, why are you looking for our Luyin Village?"

"Yes! Originally, I had asked for the help of the Sand Ninja Village. However, not long ago, a batch of grain that had been transported to Shayin Village through our Bird Country was suddenly stolen. Because of this incident, the relations between the major powers are now very tense. Shayin Village also can't mobilize the strength to help our Chamber of Commerce for the time being. So, I beg on Bird Shadow-sama. ”

"I see!" Shikamaru nodded, "Our village can help, but accordingly, we also have to charge a certain amount of compensation!" ”

"I'm ready to pay the ninja village....!"

"You misunderstood, this time, I don't want money!"

Jiuzong's eyes widened, and he looked at Shikamaru in front of him with some incredulity. You know, the person in front of him is the man who knocked out his three mines in one fell swoop!

"I want our village to have access to all of your chamber's facilities on this trade route, and I want to be able to take a stake in your chamber's trade."

Jiuzong's brows furrowed suddenly, although he had expected in advance that this matter would not be so simple, and he had prepared enough rewards, he did not expect that the other party's appetite would be so big.

Kuzong thought for a long time, but finally shook his head and said, "Torikage-sama, you are indeed different from other ninjas I have seen. They may be obsessed with force, or they may be obsessed with all the luxuries that money can bring. However, ninjas never thought of directly participating in trade to earn money. Because ninjas have great power, they can plunder them if they want. But even so, I still can't promise you! ”

"Why?"

"Because I don't know what happens once I start this? The worst thing is that all economic and trade operations are controlled by ninjas. I'm afraid that this is not only something I don't want to see, but also the daimyo of various countries. ”

Jiuzong is a businessman, but he does not have the cunning and philistine side of a businessman, and he bluntly expresses his concerns.

"Kuzong-sama obviously misunderstood what I meant!" Shikamaru smiled and said, "I don't want to plunder your property in this way, but I just want to make some changes that will allow our village and your chamber of commerce to gain more benefits." ”

"What do you mean?"

"As you've probably heard, not long ago, the ninjas of the Taketori clan attacked the mountain and set fire to it, and thanks to a heavy rain, they saved our village."

"Yes, I did hear about it from all sources!"

"Then I'll tell you now, that heavy rain was not natural, but the ninjutsu released by the ninjas in our village, how do you feel now?"

Kuzong's eyes suddenly widened, and they were wider than when he heard Shikamaru say he didn't want money just now.

"The ninjas in our village can control the weather through ninjutsu! Ninjutsu is not as everyone thinks, it can only be used in war. It turns out that ninjutsu can serve production as well. Sooner or later, the world will change dramatically, perhaps in a decade, or at hand. How about it, Lord Kuzong, do you want to seize this opportunity before the tide of the times comes! ”

Kusō swallowed a little irrepressibly, even though he listened to Shikamaru's words, and felt a little like falling into a fog. However, there was a feeling in his heart that told him that the words of this childish man in front of him were true.

"If it's really as Birdshadow-sama says, I'm willing to accept your terms."

........

Dark caves, bright lights.

On the stone platform, there is a shadow captured by Orochimaru.

At this moment, the shadow was lying on the stone platform, unconscious. On the experimental table on the side, Orochimaru was holding the skin cells on Shadow Jue's body, doing research.

Yakushi, who is Orochimaru's assistant, is holding the experimental tools and is slowly walking over.

Orochimaru stopped what he was doing and said with some sighs: "It's incredible! Some of the characteristics of the cells on this summon are different from those of this era, and they are infinitely divided! ”

"What?"

The medicine master said incredulously: "Doesn't that mean that this kind of summon can survive forever, and even live forever?" ”

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this summon came from the distant past, and then somehow kept it until now. However, this does not mean that they can live forever. This is because the infinite division of this cell is controlled by a specific compensatory mechanism. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know what this compensation mechanism is for the time being? But one thing is for sure, it has something to do with that so-called bird shadow! Although he has only been seen once, his ninjutsu chakra nature is very special. Even among the various secret techniques that have been circulating in Konoha Village, I have never seen such a special. It could be a new bloodline limit! ”

"Blood Inheritance Limit?" Yakushi Dou was a little puzzled and said, "Among the various blood inheritance boundaries that exist at present, is there anything that can change the cells of living organisms like this?" Except for Yin and Yang Escape, any other nature of ninjutsu or blood inheritance boundary can't do it! ”

"Indeed, but what if this bloodline boundary is a fusion of yin and yang? A bloodline boundary that can even rival the Uchiha family's writing wheel eye. No, maybe it may be much more than that! ”

"It's, it can't be!" The pharmacist said with some difficulty.

"Orochimaru deserves to be Orochimaru!"

In the shadows, Shikamaru's figure slowly appeared, and in the stunned expression of the medicine master, he waved his hand casually.

The shadow was like silk, and it penetrated into the body of the shadow. His eyes opened in vain, and he rolled over and fell to his knees in front of Shikamaru.

"Lord!"

"You go down first!"

Orochimaru watched as the shadow disappeared into the shadows, a pair of snake eyes constricted, and said, "It seems that this summon has a specific technique on it, which can make you positioned!" ”

"Since that night's battle, I have discovered that the position of one of my subordinates is a little remote, and it turned out that he was taken away by Lord Orochimaru."

Yakushi Dou guarded in front of Orochimaru, looking at this child, who was even younger than himself, as if he were facing a great enemy.

"Don't be nervous, Pocket! I'm afraid Bird Shadow has no malice! ”

"That's right, I'm here this time to work with Orochimaru-sama!"

"How do you want to work together?"

"I hope that Orochimaru-sama's research will be appropriately changed, and the focus will be shifted to how to reduce the uncontrollability of ninjutsu and redirect it to various productions."

"And what do I get?"

"What you couldn't get in Konoha at the beginning!"

Without asking what it was, Orochimaru smiled and said, "I promised!" ”

The deal ended, and Shikamaru's figure melted into the darkness again. In Yakushidou's somewhat surprised eyes, Orochimaru sighed leisurely: "After many years, it seems that the Nara family has also produced a great big man!" ”
