Chapter 18: The Land of Water
The one-eyed Rimis was killed, the remnants surrendered, and the whole pirate invasion came to a successful end.
After the incident, people began to walk out of the shelter and join the construction of the Dragon Village again, and the port and market were once again bustling.
The shattered battlefield was cleaned up in a few days, and the surging flow of people made it impossible to tell that there had been a bloody battle here the other day.
People are easily forgotten creatures, and perhaps in a year or two, perhaps only in the occasional conversation of one or two people will mention the life-and-death battle that took place at the beginning of the village.
As a result of this battle, people's confidence in Ryunomura doubled, and a large number of merchants bought land and built houses in the village in advance, with the intention of relocating and settling here.
This is not surprising, although seven years have passed since the Third Ninja World War, peace has not come after all, and the absence of large-scale wars in the five major ninja villages does not mean that the world is calm.
In the world, the ninja world is silent but secular conflicts still exist, armies are fighting, routs are rampant, and the armies of the five major countries are constantly in friction, not to mention those small countries.
The world is in chaos, and you may be soaking in the bath and drinking expensive food today, and tomorrow you will be invaded by enemy armies and taken away from your city and locked up in a leaky cell. Maybe today you are still sitting on thousands of family fortunes and squandering your wealth, but tomorrow you will be robbed of nothing by the routs and bandits.
Safety is the most important thing that businessmen need in this troubled world, but this is simply an unattainable luxury for them who only have a small amount of money.
They can't enter the five ninja villages, the small ninja villages are in danger of destruction at any time, and the national capitals or important cities of big countries are easy to be extorted by those greedy officials and nobles.
But now, the situation has suddenly changed, and the country of waves wants to build a ninja village.
At first, they just wanted to sell materials to make money, and they were not optimistic about this unknown force at all, and it is estimated that many merchants were laughing at the dragon village for not being able to do anything, guessing how long such a little-known little ninja village could last.
But since the power of the one-eyed Shura was completely annihilated, everyone's opinion has changed, the one-eyed pirate group is already a famous force in the ninja world, but in the battle with the dragon village, it was completely annihilated, and the damage of the dragon village was only ten dead and fifty-eight injured.
With such a record, no one will doubt the strength of Dragon Village anymore.
Having great power means being safe, and that's not exactly the reason why a lot of merchants are crazy about buying land in Dragon Village, but it's also a very important reason.
It's a low tax, the tax in the Dragon Village is one-fifth of the business income, yes, it's the business income, but this tax rate is already extremely low in the entire ninja world, outsiders like them, if they set up a shop in the five major ninja villages, it will be at least three-fifths or more, of course, if you have the household registration of the ninja village or the household registration of the ninja village allies, you don't need so much, but unfortunately these people who poured into the dragon village to buy land are not.
Relatively safe homes and low taxes have attracted a lot of money, which has contributed indelibly to the prosperity of Dragon Village.
The construction of the Dragon Village is in full swing, but at this moment, as the most powerful behind-the-scenes boss, he left everything to his subordinates and quietly left the country of waves.
……
The land of water, a nameless forest.
The gloomy sun shrouded this strange forest, and under the sky obscured by the dense foliage, it was as quiet as if everything was sleeping in the fear of death, and the presence of ghosts and eerie cries could give people the illusion of the underworld. Stout and strange plants, nameless insects with enchanting colors, everything looks so unusual.
Jiang Chuanyue jumped between the tall tree trunks with a calm face, ignoring the howl of the beast that came from the darkness. Suddenly, the leaves above his head burst out of a colorful strip of water, but as soon as he flew to Jiang Chuanyue's side, his whole body was like a pile of sand, and he was scattered in all directions when the wind blew it.
"What a hassle......
Jiang Chuanyue frowned slightly, looking at the dense forest in front of her with no end in sight, and felt a little irritable.
When the pirate one-eyed attack was over, he saw that the situation was temporarily stable, and there were still two complete top-level combat power Chizuki and Black Robe in the Dragon Village, so he had the idea of going out and walking around.
To be honest, Jiang Chuanyue has traveled to this world for ten years, except for the territory of the Fire Country, he has not gone out to the other four major countries, but then again, it was because his strength was not high, and during that time before and after the Third World War, the ninja world was in chaos, so it was natural to nest in the remote place in the east of the Fire Country and slowly develop in the jungle.
But now that his strength is at the level of standing at the peak of the ninja world, it is time to see the customs of the ninja world.
Although I don't know why the owner of the black market would put the black market in a place like the country of water, the information from the memory of the one-eyed Krimis that the mysterious black market headquarters is indeed located in the territory of the country of water.
In fact, Cardo's memories also contain information about a black market branch in the Fire Country, where Cardo himself went to trade.
However, Egawa Yue still decided to go to the land of water. Because in addition to looking for a black market to issue a commission, he also got a very important message from One-Eyed Krimis during his trip.
According to the inference of the Hokage's plot and the inference of some information in the mind of the one-eyed Krimis, Egawa Yue knew that the land of water was about to face a great change!
That's right, the Age of Blood Mist is coming to an end!
Terumi has secretly prepared everything, determined to overthrow the rule of the fourth generation of Mizukage Yakura in the near future, and the one-eyed Kreimis is also a member of the forces that Terumi is secretly co-opting.
One-eyed participated in this because he was a ninja of the Fog Ninja Village before he rebelled against the village, and some secrets were involved, so he was attracted by Terumi Ming.
Turmoil means opportunity.
Jiang Chuanyue didn't believe how peaceful this coup would be, and when the war was in chaos, it would be a good opportunity for him to fish in troubled waters, if he could take the opportunity to pack up the essence of the entire ninja village in the fog ninja village and leave, the picture was too beautiful to imagine.
Moreover, in addition to the coup d'état in Kirishinobi Village, Egawa Moon is also very interested in the secret guarded by the one-eyed Kremis......
The above is the origin of the country of rivers and moonwaters.
However, whether it is fishing in troubled waters in the coup d'état in Kiri Ninja Village in the future, or exploring the secrets guarded by the one-eyed Crimis are all things that need to be solved after tomorrow.
But now Jiang Chuanyue is encountering a very troublesome thing, that is:
He's lost......
