After planting the dead wood in a pot, Shiraishi began to look at the wood that had been cut off from the body of the sacred tree.

After successfully trading arms with Yuyin Village, Obito transferred the dead wood back to the Ghost Country, and went out on a trip with Lin instead.

For this piece of dead wood stripped from the sacred tree, the white stone is also very valuable, and has extremely high research and utilization value.

It looked like it was just a dead wood that had long since withered, without flowers and leaves, and it was bare, but when he looked at this piece of dead wood, Shiraishi still had a slight palpitation.

It's not that I'm surprised by the vitality of this dead wood, but that I feel something about that completely unknown realm.

With the vitality of the living grub in the Wet Bone Forest, it is the existence with the strongest vitality he has ever seen.

The abyss is like the sea of immortal chakra, and the power of human beings is so small in front of it.

It can be seen from this that the leader of Miaomu Mountain, the Great Toad Immortal, has such great power.

"How's that, Ruri, Ayane, can you see anything with your writing wheel eyes and white eyes?"

Shiraishi looked at Ruri and Ayane beside him.

The two of them opened their kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes, and the white eyes, and observed this piece of dead wood from beginning to end.

Ruri stared at it for a moment with her kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes, then closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes returned to their original shape, black and white.

She shook her head slowly and said, "No, I can't see the inner nature of this piece of wood at all, and it can't resonate with the writing wheel. In the past, when I first met Madara, I had also seen the shell of the sacred tree, and the feeling I felt now was not much different from that time. ”

This is the truth, except for the strong vitality, this piece of dead wood and the rest of the dead wood branches on the side of the road, there seems to be no big difference.

Then, she looked at Ayane.

In the essence of witnessing things, the white eye is better than the writing wheel eye.

In this regard, even the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye cannot be compared. What's more, Ayane's white eyes are also absorbed by the power of 'darkness' bred by the dragon, and compared to ordinary white eyes, the strength of pupil power has been sublimated to another dimension.

"It's the same on my side, except for the vitality of the body, I don't see anything useful. Maybe it's because the Ten-Tailed Sacred Tree hasn't fully awakened, and now it looks like it's just a piece of wood with a strong vitality. ”

Ayane's guess is not unreasonable, the current Divine Tree is just an empty shell, and the contents inside have long been stripped away by the Six Dao Immortals thousands of years ago and separated into today's Nine Tailed Beasts.

An empty body with a shell, without a true inner soul.

"There's some truth to that, but maybe you need a reincarnation eye to do it."

The Ten Tails are closely related to the Eye of Samsara and at the same time to the so-called 'Infinite Moon Reading' technique, which is supposed to exist as a whole.

It was because of this that Nagato didn't mind trading with him with this piece of dead wood.

He was convinced that there was no such thing as a ghost country with reincarnation eyes, and he couldn't parse the true secret of the Ten Tails.

However, Shiraishi didn't have to solve the secret of the Ten Tails, he asked for this dead wood from Nagato in order to further infiltrate the secret of Mu Dun.

The role of Mu Dun is not only reflected in the battle, but also used to improve the vegetation environment in the barren area, and it also has a very good effect.

That's what he's really for.

At his level, the so-called ninjutsu and blood inheritance limit, or the more special Mu Dun, for him, there is no so-called superior or inferior.

It's all a derivative technique composed of basic chakra.

As long as you understand the essence of the technique, the difficulty of cracking the fireball technique is actually the same as cracking the wooden escape technique.

After all, his current energy and time are limited, and it is impossible to be proficient in everything.

"Do we need to look any further?"

Ruri asked.

"No need, let's stop here, I originally had the idea of giving it a try, since I can't see through it with a kaleidoscope to write wheel eyes and white eyes, then use other methods, presumably the result will be the same."

This was also expected, so Shiraishi didn't feel much regret.

It's not so simple to peek into the secrets of the eye of reincarnation.

There are so many materials missing on his side that he can't even simulate them.

This is a completely different concept from the technique in the pseudo-immortal talisman that simulates Myoki Mountain.

"It seems that some of my side will be busy after that, and the outside affairs will be left to the two of you for the time being. The underground black market was dissatisfied with the suppression of them by the Ghost Country, and it is likely that they will sneak into the territory of the Ghost Country to cause trouble. ”

Shiraishi voiced his guess.

A group of lawless bounty hunters, in the case of damage to their interests, coupled with the big names behind the black market platform fanning the flames, do not feel surprised to do any kind of extreme behavior.

The various interests involved behind the underground black market are too huge, and the underground black market in the west has been hit hard, and those people will definitely ask for an explanation from the ghost country in order to disturb the ghost country.

After all, in addition to the threat of force, Shiraishi couldn't imagine how these outlaws could coerce the Oni Country.

After all, it is an underground organization that cannot see the light, and even if it can be united, for the current country of ghosts, it is at most a rabble that is more troublesome to clean up.

After hearing this, Ruri and Ayane both nodded.

"Got it, we'll take care of it."

"Then please."

◎

It took a week to finally survey most of the towns where the people of the country of waves gathered.

Kazuhime didn't change the slightest summary of the country when he first came, but after surveying all the regions of the country of waves, he made himself more convinced of his inner judgment.

Such a country needs to be fundamentally transformed in order to have a so-called future.

However, piracy is rife outside the country, and the domestic pornography, gambling and drug industries are spread to all populous cities and towns, and there are gangsters to protect them.

Behind the scenes, there may be more powerful secret hands manipulating, but the cover is very hidden, and ordinary people can't notice how deep and dark the transaction chain behind the scenes is.

For ordinary people, once they discover the secret, it means that they have opened the door to hell.

Even if the spy is dispatched, if he wants to collect enough information, Kazuhime thought to herself, it will probably take a while.

Now she just needs to prepare the prelude before the main play begins.

How to do it, where to start doing it, when to do it, who to use to complete it, etc., these things need to be done slowly step by step, things can't be done overnight, no matter what, Shiraishi gave her a lot of time.

Besides, with such a well-thought-out and grand operation, the headquarters would rather progress a little slower than have any uncontrollable surprises.

After all, this is related to the important layout of the five major countries in the future, and no matter how careful and cautious it is, it is a matter of course.

Prudence and prudence are the basic requirements of Yiji for herself.

To this end, Ichihime took advantage of his free time to write dozens of pages of plans. But this is just a sketch, not yet completely finalized, after all, the plan of the country of waves is too important, and after she draws up the plan here, she has to transfer it to the headquarters for review, and she can continue to implement it only after passing the approval.

"I hope to go back for a reunion dinner at the end of this year."

Kazuhime looked at the plan that had been almost revised, and let out such an emotion.

It is only through personal experience that one can understand how difficult the situation of a small country can be.

Combined with the political theories learned in the past in the ninja school in the country of ghosts, whether it is the country of ghosts, her father, or the entire ninja world, Kazuhime has also thought about this question.

But when I thought about the many people who were numb and survived, at that time, I had my own answer in my heart.

It's not because they want to achieve something that the world will remember, or because they want to show off that their system is better than the one country and one village system opened up by the original Hokage, but they simply think that the new world they are trying to build will be better than the present.

Even if a lot of people die in the process.

It is also possible to go down the wrong path and sacrifice more.

"Go and get Mr. Dazner over...... No, forget it, I'll visit again in person, so that it seems a little more sincere. ”

I wanted my subordinates to invite Dazna to the cruise ship to discuss matters, but I thought that in such an unfamiliar environment, it would cause great pressure on the other party, and maybe she would think she was arrogant or something, so it would be a bit more than worth the loss.

"Tsk......"

To be honest, this is a bit of an upset for Kazuhime.

Since she was a child, she has always been accustomed to doing things with self-centeredness, whether it is bullying and crying her brother, or teasing her half-brother, she just finds it interesting and does it.

But now she has to make some concessions because of an extremely weak ordinary person, no matter how she thinks about it, she will feel uncomfortable.

Before going to Konoha and Kigakure to study, she never thought about other people's feelings, how interesting and fun she came, and everything was casual.

Even the feelings of parents are rarely taken into account.

This feeling really made Yiji feel the so-called limitations, as well as the responsibility on her shoulders.

She can no longer think of herself as a child living under the protection of her parents, and she can no longer do some self-willed things.

It seems that there is still not enough growth and life experience. Kazuhime laughed to herself.

But for the future, she is now full of expectations.

◎

Dazna, who was sitting in his house, had a sad face.

Looking at the fragmentary coins in my hand, there are many fewer than last month, and if this continues, tomorrow may even have a problem with food and clothing.

Although you only need food to live, there are still a lot of places where your family needs money.

The women and children in the family need him to support them, and if his son-in-law had not died, perhaps the situation in the family would have been much better.

Although the well-connected workers wanted to help him, he also knew that his friends were also not from wealthy families, and their family income was also not high, and he would be reluctant to accept their handouts.

"Dad, are you still worried about money?"

Daughter Tsunami walked in.

"It's Tsunami, where's Ina?"

"That kid has already gone out with his friends."

Tsunami replied.

Dazna nodded and replied to Jinami's question just now: "You also know that the aquatic products that my friends and I salvaged will entrust merchants to go to other countries to sell, and then give the merchants a transportation fee and employment fee, but recently those merchants have become more expensive for transportation and employment fees, and they also said that the aquatic product market is sluggish now, and it is not easy to sell, so there is not much money to sell." My income now is much lower than last month. ”

"Are the merchants lying?"

Tsunami frowned.

"Who knows this kind of thing, after all, we don't know what's going on outside, and we believe whatever those businessmen say."

Dazna sighed and took a sip of the bottle next to him, also a little sullen.

"Otherwise, I'll go out to work too, and then the situation at home will be much better."

Tsunami suggested.

Dazna glanced at her daughter Tsunami, although she was married and had children, she was actually not yet thirty years old, even if she was wearing simple clothes, she could see that she was a beauty with good charm and temperament.

Before he got married, there were many young men in the country of Wave who were fascinated by his daughter, and having such a beautiful and kind daughter was one of the few prides in his life.

Dazna spoke, "I've heard that the environment in the town is a bit bad, and it's easy to be targeted by the idle thugs, who will stun young women and secretly sell them to the shopkeepers of some special clubs, where they will receive unscrupulous men. ”

“……”

Tsunami didn't bring up the matter of going to work.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about money, as long as you can receive a work commission this year, you don't have to worry about it for a long time in the future."

Dazna smiled optimistically.

You know, he is a famous bridge-builder, as long as he has a single business, he can get extremely generous remuneration from his employer and improve his family's life.

"That ......"

Tsunami was about to say something when there was a knock on the door, interrupting what she was about to say.

Tsunami and Dazna glanced at each other, and they could both see the confusion in each other's eyes.

"I'll take a look."

"I'm with you."

Dazna stood up and walked out of the room with Tsunami, heading towards the entrance.

After opening the door, they saw the guests who suddenly came to visit, and both of them stared at each other in surprise.

"You ......"

"It's been a week, Mr. Dazner, remember me?"

Kazuhime stood outside the door, with four ninja guards, and greeted him with a smile.

"Remember, you're Miss Chiba Kazuhime from the Land of Demons."

Although she is a girl with very strange words and deeds, he was impressed by the noble temperament of Kazuhime, who did not match the commoners at all, and quickly recognized this mysterious noble girl from the country of ghosts who came to visit him a week ago.

"Miss or something is too rusty, and my family is just a little bit of money, not worth mentioning."

"Is Miss Ichihime from a merchant family?"

"Well, it's just a very ordinary merchant family."

Kazuhime replied politely.

Dazna nodded, and didn't go any further.

"So, won't Mr. Dazner invite me in and sit? I have an important matter at hand, and I ask Mr. Dazner to help, and of course, I will pay the reward. ”

Kazuhime raised her head slightly, meeting Dazna's eyes.

"Ah, sorry, please come in. Tsunami, go make tea. ”

Dazna stepped aside and ordered Tsunami to make tea and entertain the guests.

Ichihime tilted his head and said to the four guards behind him, "You guys are guarding outside, I'll just go in alone." ”

"Yes, Miss."

After hearing this, Kazuhime nodded and entered Dazna's house.

"Excuse me."

Following Dazna, through the hallway, to where the living room was.

Although it is a living room, it is actually very small, and the walls are full of sundries, which occupies a lot of space.

"The home is simple, so you can laugh at the young lady."

"No, Mr. Dazner, don't think of me as a pampered girl. I've experienced all these things, such as working on the construction site, or going to the countryside to farm. ”

Kazuhime replied.

"Huh?"

Dazna looked at Kazuhime incredulously.

"Is there anything strange?"

"No, generally speaking, a lady like you wouldn't do such menial work, would she? And ......"

Looking at the appearance of Yiji, it doesn't look like a person who has done these heavy jobs.

"There's no way, education at home is like this, and it's actually convenient to manage the country."

After listening to this, Dazner had a feeling that he didn't know what to say.

What about the family background of an ordinary businessman?

Running the country is not an area that ordinary merchant families can reach.

He was already a high-ranking official at the level of a national official, and he belonged to the top aristocrats.

"Guests, please."

Tsunami made two cups of tea and placed them in front of Kazuhime and Dazna, then left the living room and entered her room, leaving space for Kazuhime and Dazna to discuss important matters.

"So, does Miss Ichihime have anything to do with me? I need to think about it before I say yes. ”

"That's as it should be."

Kazuhime didn't refute, took out a drawing from his bosom, unfolded it on the coffee table, and presented it to Dazner.

Dazna looked at it intently, it was a very detailed map of the country of waves, and on the map, there was an area marked with a heavy red circle, which was particularly eye-catching on the map.

"It's ......"

"That's why I came to Mr. Dazner, I wanted to build a large integrated factory in this place to produce some technical equipment. I don't think it's a difficult task for Mr. Dazner. ”

Kazuhime calmly took a sip of tea.

Although Dazner is a famous bridge-builder, it does not mean that he will only build bridges, and if the information is true, this job is not too difficult for Dazner.

Dazna clasped his hands to his chest, as if in deep thought.

He didn't agree, but asked Yiji: "Miss Yiji, do you have any construction drawings?" I want to take a look at the construction drawings before making a judgment. ”

He didn't have a brain to affirm as soon as it was hot, he didn't know what level Yiji's family was in the country of ghosts, but he was sure that it was enough, the other party's family power was not something that a small person like himself could provoke.

If you agree, but in the end you can't complete the other party's request, maybe it will bring disaster to your family.

He needed to think carefully before he could agree.

"Yes."

Kazuhime took out a scroll and spread it out on the coffee table, drawing a large number of intricate structural drawings on it.

After Dazna read the structure diagram on the scroll, Kazuhime asked:

"Well, will Mr. Dazner be able to fulfill my commission?"

"Although the structure is a bit special, it is not difficult for me. I agreed to Miss Ichihime's request for entrustment. ”

Dazna thought for a moment and took over Kazuhime's commission.

"Mr. Dazner didn't disappoint me, and I was relieved. So, how many workers can Dazna mobilize? ”

"Hmm...... There are about 500 workers on my side who can be mobilized. Can Miss Ichihime eat it? ”

Dazner didn't think about it for too long, and gave his own answer, which was also a little apprehensive.

With commissions, there will be a source of income, and Dazna wants to help workers who have followed him in the past, and whose families need this income to support their families.

Without paying attention to Dazna's thoughts, Ichihime slowly shook his head and said, "No, it's too little." ”

Yes, the rebellion of five hundred people is still too little, and more workers are needed to join in and bind them together, so that they can set off a bigger storm in the territory of the country of waves.

Dazna was stunned, in his opinion, the construction team of 500 people was not small, but he didn't expect that Yiji would give the veto reason that the number of people was too small.

"That'...... A thousand? ”

"Can't it be more?"

Kazuhime frowned, still not very satisfied with this number.

“……”

Dazner had the illusion that the other party had not come to commission the construction of the factory at all.

Looking at Dazna's embarrassed expression, Kazuhime also knew that gathering a thousand workers was the limit of Dazna.

"Then set it at a thousand, and I will bring in some additional workers at that time, and I will be at the mercy of Mr. Dazner. In addition, I hope that the construction of the factory can be completed within one year, and no later than two years. ”

"No problem."

Dazna nodded.

"That's good, I'll send someone to send the contract the day after tomorrow. Well, I'm not going to nag Mr. Dazner. ”

Assembling 1,000 workers, with the communication capabilities of Dazna's side, it is estimated that it will take a little time to complete, and Kazuhime hopes that Dazna will gather 1,000 workers as soon as possible, and then work as quickly as possible.

"Miss Yiji, please go slowly."

Dazna enthusiastically sent Kazuhime to the door, and for some time to come, the other party will be his temporary boss and needs to build a good relationship.

……

After negotiating with Dazner to build the factory, all that was left was a formal commercial contract to be signed.

It's just that, in Yiji's opinion, a thousand workers, the number is still a little too small.

The right number of people in her heart was two thousand.

But thinking about the current situation in the country of waves, 1,000 people is the best result that Dazna has come up with.

Rushing back to the position of the cruise ship at sea along the road he came, Kazuhime, who had already memorized the situation in the country of waves, did not need to take a long detour to practice and investigate.

The construction of factories can be said to be the purpose, or it can be said to be a cover for people's ears.

As for how much money she lost here, Yiji never thought about it, because in her opinion, what can be solved with money is not difficult, but what is difficult is that there is no way to solve it with money.

If you can use a small amount of money, you can pry open the gap in the country of waves, and it is a very cost-effective deal.

"Miss."

Walking in the woods, sensing the strangeness of the surrounding atmosphere, a Oni no Kuni ninja softly reminded Kazuhime, and then swept his eyes coldly around, looking for the hidden location of the lurker.

Sou!

Lin Ye flew and rolled, and one after another black shadows suddenly attacked, judging from their nimble skills and vigorous posture, they were by no means ordinary people, but ninjas.

When these attackers attacked, the four Oni no Kuni ninjas also met them one after another, fighting with the large number of attackers.

One of the attackers, with a purple-red evil light in his eyes, faster than his companions, rushed in front of Kazuhime in the blink of an eye, and the evil light in his eyes was even worse, as if even reason had evaporated, full of brutal sadism.

Rumble!

The flames exploded.

The attacker, whose eyes were full of sadism, rolled out in disarray, his chest was blurred with blood, and he was severely injured, vomiting blood.

"Whew."

Holding a short flintlock pistol out of nowhere, and blowing lightly on the smoking muzzle, Kazuhime looked at the attacker who was wounded by the bullet and nodded in satisfaction.

Although it is a toy, it is used for a surprise sneak attack, and the effect is better than expected.

Over there, the four Oni Ninja were also slaughtering in all directions, and the large number of attackers was no match for the four of them.

After all, he is one of the most powerful ninjas in the military, and it is completely easy to deal with this kind of third-rate ninja who came out of nowhere.

Kazuhime walked up to the attacker, who was wounded head-on by the bullet, lying on the ground with a painful face, his body contorting and convulsing, and he lost the ability to resist.

"It seems that the patience is a little worse than I thought, and I need an excuse to be able to make a move......"

As he spoke, Kazuhime's black and white pupils turned into three-hooked jade writing wheel eyes, and the line of sight of the attacker lying on the ground was contacted.

In an instant, the attacker's body stiffened, and his face turned from pain to sluggishness, dominated by the illusion of the Sharingan.
