"What wind is blowing you here today, mother-in-law?"

In the reception room outside the laboratory, Shiraishi is entertaining Miyoko Uchiha who suddenly visits him.

He was still a little curious about Miyoko's purpose for finding herself.

He knew that Miyoko wouldn't come over to disturb his work if he didn't have something important to talk to him.

And if Miyoko has something important, the only thing Shiraishi can guess is related to the Uchiha clan.

However, the arrangement of the Uchiha clan, as the patriarch of Ruri, should already be looking for a special person to resettle. The Uchiha, who has power in the three worlds of military, politics and finance in the country of ghosts, will not dare to make things difficult in this regard.

"It's not about the Uchiha, Kobaishi. I'm here to ask, if you and Rurida are going to have a third child. It would be even better if the third one was also a boy. ”

Miyoko saw through Shiraishi's mind and smiled with some kind of unrealistic fantasy.

"Uh......"

Shiraishi was also stunned for a moment, and then became helpless.

"Although I don't care, Ruri doesn't seem to be willing to have a third child, and besides, we don't have much energy to cultivate now."

"Just kidding, I'm just saying it casually."

Shiraishi didn't know if Miyoko was really joking or had other plans, but Shiraishi knew that Miyoko felt a little sorry for Asuka's talent.

As with most traditional Uchiha clansmen, they believe that the only way out is to become a ninja.

Miyoko and his wife were forced to become merchants because of their lack of talent as ninjas, which is equivalent to going astray in the traditional concept of the Uchiha clan.

"Let's get down to business, then."

Miyoko put away her smile.

Shiraishi also sat up straight, wanting to hear what Miyoko had to say to her.

"This time I went out and met an old friend, and I happened to see something more interesting, so I asked him to get some for me. I suspect it has something to do with tailed beasts. ”

"Tailed beasts?"

Shiraishi was a little puzzled.

"Yes." Miyoko took out two capsules with red skin from her pocket, which was some kind of medicine, put them on the coffee table in front of Shiraishi, and said with a serious expression: "This is the thing, after taking this medicine, the ninja has generated something similar to the outer coat of the tailed beast on the surface of the body, and the chakra tail of the tailed beast has also appeared." ”

Hearing Miyoko's explanation, Shiraishi picked up the two red capsules, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Spawn the Tailed Beast's coat and tail, right?"

"Well, although the color is different from the normal tailed beast chakra, you can't go wrong with that berserk feeling."

Shiraishi never doubted the vision of Miyoko as a businessman.

When she said this, she must have been convinced of something.

"There is indeed a very strange chakra fluctuation, please wait a moment and I'll go find an instrument to test it."

After saying that, Shiraishi picked up the capsule and walked towards the laboratory inside, testing it with an instrument.

Miyoko just nodded, and sat quietly on the sofa in the reception room, quietly drinking tea, and waiting for Shiraishi's test results.

About ten minutes later, Shiraishi walked out of the laboratory with two capsules, and his expression was obviously a little more dignified than before.

Seeing this, Miyoko knew the results of Shiraishi's instrument test.

The source of the capsules is extraordinary.

"How?"

Although she knew the result, Miyoko still had this question.

Shiraishi sighed and replied to Miyoko's words, "As you guessed, this is indeed an enhancement medicine synthesized using the Tailed Beast Chakra as a raw material. The composition of the drug is somewhat complicated, and there are some materials that I don't know about. But I estimate that this should not be a finished drug, and the development is not complete, but only a semi-finished banned drug. ”

"Illegal drugs?"

"People who take drugs, if they have weak willpower, can easily be deprived of their minds, causing the chakra in the body to fall into a violent state. Moreover, taking this medicine for a long time is also very harmful to the body, causing blood vessels and internal organs to burst. ”

To put it simply, for a ninja with real strength, the improvement of this medicine is almost negligible, but for ninjas with average strength, the amplification ability is very objective.

Judging from the original intention of the development of the drug, it must have been to create a death army for war.

Hearing Shiraishi say this, Miyoko remembered the female ninja who took this medicine in the gladiatorial arena and fell into a state of rage, although there was no burst of blood vessels and internal organs, but reason was indeed manipulated by the powerful chakra.

"And ......"

At this point, Shiraishi paused, and a gleam appeared in his eyes.

"A few days ago, Kazuhime sent a prisoner from the country of Wave to the headquarters. In the other party's body, there is a very special purple-red chakra, which is very similar to the tailed beast chakra. The residue is very similar to some of the substances in this medicine. It can basically be judged that the captive sent by Yiji has also taken this medicine. ”

"The Land of Waves?"

Kazuhime was on a mission in the country of waves, and Miyoko knew about it, but she didn't expect that this drug was still circulating in an inconspicuous country like the country of waves.

Shiraishi nodded and continued to ask Miyoko, "I want to know, who got this medicine from?" ”

Miyoko didn't hide it either, and replied, "I entrusted a friend to get it from the president of Tsuruta Corporation." ”

"Tsuruta Enterprise? That big pharma company that crosses borders? ”

Although with the rise of resource chemical pharmaceutical companies, the pharmaceutical industry of Tsuruta enterprises has been greatly impacted. But even so, Tsuruta did not go out of business, and its size is very large, which is not comparable to ordinary companies.

And that President Tsuruta is also a very famous businessman in the ninja world, born in an ancient merchant family.

The money in his hand is said to be so large that he can buy a country.

"That's right. However, according to my friend, President Tsuruta only bought this medicine from someone else. ”

"Who?"

"President Tsuruta did not disclose the information of his customers, he only said that the source of the medicine is the land of fire."

Medicines come from the land of fire.

Hearing this news, Shiraishi's mind immediately appeared with the gloomy and dark face of Danzang.

This coincides with Kazuhime's speculation.

Although Kazuhime's guess was only a reasonable conjecture, there was no real evidence.

But combined with the information provided by Miyoko now, the customer who traded prohibited goods with the president of Tsuruta is likely to be the root organization led by Danzo.

Although the three generations of Hokage have not been able to use force to suppress the roots, they can use development funds to limit the development of the roots.

If the root wants to develop and get more development resources, it must seek external forces.

Tsuruta Enterprises may be the partner of Tuanzang.

Of course, all of this is speculation, and Shiraishi can't come up with definite evidence to prove that these drugs come from the roots, and the collaborator of the Tsuruta enterprise is the head of the roots.

But sometimes, mere skepticism is enough.

What's more, there are so many tails on display behind the drug, and there are enough arguments for him to make such a reasonable conjecture.

"I probably know the situation, but what does the president of Tsuruta want to do when you buy this banned booster? If you want to train private soldiers, this medicine is not the best choice. ”

Shiraishi analyzed.

He didn't believe that the president of a multinational company would be able to figure it out.

While it is true that this drug can strengthen the ninja's combat effectiveness, it is not a very smart choice in the long run.

That President Tsuruta wouldn't kill chickens and take eggs like this.

Miyoko showed a look of disgust on her face at this time, and explained: "For the sake of the so-called face. ”

"Face?"

"Little Shiraishi, you should know. In this world, there are those of us who follow the regular path, but there are also many evil businessmen who do not follow the rules. On the surface, they are sanctimonious, but behind the scenes, they are constantly involved in all kinds of illegal activities in order to make profits. ”

Even if Miyoko doesn't have to deliberately point out this kind of thing, Shiraishi knows a little bit about it.

In this ninja world, those who often hire ninjas to do things are merchants and officials.

In particular, the tasks above the C level are basically high-level tasks that are not accessible to ordinary civilians, and only wealthy and powerful businessmen and officials are qualified and able to entrust them.

Although the businessmen that Shiraishi has the most contact with are righteous businessmen like Miyoko who make money through formal means, it does not prevent him from not knowing that in the shadows of the ninja world, there are more evil businessmen who are illegally collecting money.

It's just that for ordinary people, that kind of world they can't touch at all, and they haven't heard of it.

Once touched, they are either assimilated or evaporated from the world.

"There is such a place in the ninja world, it is an isolated island on the sea without a name, shrouded in thick fog all the year round, and there is no mark on the map, as if it is a piece of the world erased from the ninja world. It is said that you can buy anything you want there, as long as you can afford it. Whether it is people or things, they can be sold, and the connections and resources there are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. ”

Miyoko told the story.

After hearing this, Shiraishi's eyes flickered.

This place, he had also heard of.

It was a three-way zone that was not governed by any law, and it relied on businessmen and officials behind the scenes to maintain order.

There are no markers on the map, the islands have no names, and they require a specific person to guide them in.

The people who go in and out of there are either rich or noble.

But it is not without the poor in the absolute sense of the word.

Because it was legal to trade people there, there were slaves who were not even poor.

The pornography, gambling and drug industries are also legal.

Relying on the support of many officials, the merchant alliance there has no scruples to make it a paradise in their own minds.

There are quite a few officials who consider it a holiday destination.

Whether it's money or stunning beauty, it's all there.

But because of this, there are a lot of hedonistic businessmen and officials there.

In short, it's an extralegal place that is disgusting to normal people in every way.

"So, President Tsuruta ......"

"There is a place called the Ninja Arena, where the merchant lets the ninjas of his subordinates fight on the field, and the winning side can get the right to use the other ninja, which is valid for life. Many businessmen love this game of 'trading' ninjas, and President Tsuruta is no exception. President Tsuruta used this enhancement medicine in order to achieve victory for his ninjas. ”

Just win the victory and fight for him to save face.

As for the life of the ninja, it is not in the consideration of the president of Tsuruda.

For a big man like him, as long as he has money, there are definitely ninjas who will work for him.

"Tsk, is this a fetish peculiar to rich people?"

Shiraishi has a new insight into the special hobbies of the wealthy.

Treating ninjas as slaves, combat tools for entertainment, is a disgusting idea that those people can come up with.

"I don't have such a disgusting taste, little Shiraishi."

Miyoko looked at Shiraishi with slight dissatisfaction.

"I'm not talking about you, Mother-in-law. Speaking of which, in the past, my mother-in-law asked me to take in a blood inheritance limit ninja from an unknown background, so it could be that ...... too."

Shiraishi remembered something.

"Well, it was in that place that I bought it from an old friend. The other party has a certain relationship with our Uchiha clan, and my friend belongs to a good person with some special hobbies. ”

Miyoko commented.

"Oh?"

"Imperial Chengyan, you should have heard of his name."

Miyoko revealed the identity of the other party.

"Dead merchants? I've heard of his name, but I don't know about his connection to the Uchiha clan. ”

Yuwu Chengyan has a very good reputation in the business world.

The other party is the leading arms supplier in the ninja world, and is known as the 'merchant of death', and as long as he pays for it, he will sell weapons to whoever he wants.

It's just that he didn't expect Miyoko to have a friendship with such a dangerous businessman.

Being able to establish a stable business channel with Miyoko and provide the military of the Oni Country with talented or blood-inherited ninjas, the friendship in this is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

"Don't say it's you, even Ruri doesn't know about it. The cause of the incident may go back to before Konoha was established. But I'm not here today, not for the sake of popular science and history, and I'll have someone send it over later. Now that the matter is over, then, please take care of it, Xiao Baishi. Fighting and killing is not my specialty. ”

Miyoko got up from the couch and prepared to leave.

"Please wait a minute."

Shiraishi called Miyoko.

"Anything else?"

"I want to send someone to that isolated island to gather information, and I'm a little concerned about the source of that drug. Mother-in-law, can you let Gomono Chengyan cover up their identities for them and act cheaply there? ”

Shiraishi asked.

Miyoko thought for a moment and said, "No problem, I'll ask Miya Castle for help in this matter." But let your people, don't mess around in that kind of place, there are many countries involved in the interests of that place, and if you take action there, there will be many more hostile countries in the world. There are businessmen and officials there, but they are all big names and surnames in the ninja world. ”

Miyoko is deeply afraid that Shiraishi will cause chaos there.

If it were someone else, she probably wouldn't think so.

But Shiraishi even foiled the country of the wind, and Miyoko couldn't think of anything else in this ninja world that Shiraishi was afraid of and didn't dare to make.

Although the connections and resources of that isolated island are huge, they are not as big as a big country like the Land of the Wind.

It's just that there's no need to make enemies in the world anymore.

Moreover, it is very difficult to eradicate such a place outside the law.

The most important thing is that getting rid of such a place will not have the slightest benefit except to provoke more enemies.

"Don't worry, as long as they don't mess around first, I definitely won't mess around. I like to talk to people about the rules, I just want to know who these drugs come from, and I don't have the slightest interest in that island. ”

Shiraishi is assured.

Miyoko was slightly speechless, but she couldn't say anything, she hoped that Shiraishi would be honest recently, and now too many people are focusing on the country of ghosts.

Before the war with the Land of Wind, she had always been terrified. If you lose the battle, the foundation of the Uchiha clan's final rise will also be lost, and you will really choose to live incognito in the ninja world and live a precarious life of escape.

◎

Reinforcements arrived sooner than Kazuhime had imagined.

A total of 60 heavily armed ninjas bypassed the pirate forces in the waters of the country of waves, and secretly infiltrated the cruise ship in the harbor to hide.

This may not seem like a large number, but in non-war times, dozens of heavily armed ninja forces are already a large force.

Moreover, Kazuhime's purpose here was not to start a war with Konoha, but only to prevent trouble, so he had to ask for reinforcements from the headquarters of the Oni Country.

In addition to this, there is a handwritten letter written to her by Shiraishi.

The investigation of some things has also come to an eyebrow.

Two things are mentioned above.

The captive sent to the country of ghosts, the abnormal chakra in his body, is indeed closely related to the tailed beast, but the main messenger behind the scenes is ominous. The other party did not have any memories before getting the drug, and the memory was maliciously erased.

Another thing has to do with her grandmother, Miyoko, on an anonymous island in the sea, a similar drug flows. Using the tailed beast Chakra as a raw material, it has been maliciously abused to create a forbidden enhancement drug, which is related to the Land of Fire.

Therefore, it is more suspicious that the illegal drugs that let people obtain the tailed beast Chakra come from the hands of the roots and the group.

Capable of coming into contact with tailed beasts, the medicine comes from the territory of the Fire Country, and the suspicion can be easily narrowed.

Among them, the suspicion of Tuan Zang is the greatest.

But there is no tangible evidence, so it is impossible to say for sure.

After reading the contents of the letter, Yiji didn't expect that there would be such a big involvement behind the matter.

Isolated island, Kazuhime knows this place.

In the darkness of the ninja world, there is such a lawless zone of three things.

A large number of merchants and officials jointly managed the land.

There was no trace of that isolated island on the map of the ninja world, and its existence was deliberately erased.

It is claimed that as long as you have money, you can buy anything there.

Of course, this sentence is a bit exaggerated, in fact, for example, the existence of tailed beasts cannot be purchased from there, and those merchants and officials do not have the ability to sell tailed beasts.

There are many, many other things that are beyond the reach of that isolated island.

But it is undeniable that the network of people on that nameless island is indeed huge.

In the ninja world, money is not everything, but a large amount of money can buy a lot of things you want.

There are all kinds of evil desires that breed there, and are called heavenly beings by insiders.

At this, Kazuhime scoffed.

It's just a trick to spend money to eliminate disasters, and for that kind of place to exist, it must be a lot of money to buy off the money of officials from various countries, and it will cost a lot every year.

Only in this way can that kind of place be able to survive to this day without being dilapidated.

"That isolated island is some distance from the country of waves, and there is a large sea area in between, and there are several other countries...... As a result, they are all linked to illegal drugs that can break out the tailed beast chakra. ”

Kazuhime sat there thinking about it.

Soon, she remembered that in the towns of the country of waves, there are many special shops involved in the pornography, gambling and drug industries, and a large number of gangsters escort them, and the forces behind them have always been a puzzle for her.

If the forces behind these industries come from the merchants of that nameless island, then many things that you don't understand can be explained.

The Land of Waves...... Island......

Thinking of this, Yiji's heart was suddenly shocked.

Because Kazuhime thought that the country of waves is also a small island, and the geographical environment is relatively closed, except for the ship, there is no channel to communicate with the outside world.

In addition, it was also blocked by pirate forces, but the Fire Nation did not react to it in the slightest.

It's just so weird.

The Land of Waves is not far from the Land of Fire, which is strategically important to face the Land of Water, the most important outpost.

In this kind of place, it is not surprising that the Fire Country directly invades and captures it, and exercises real power control over the Land of Waves.

As a result, the Fire Nation turned a blind eye to this, as if it did not recognize the predicament faced by the Wave Nation.

This is simply not possible.

If the Fire Nation was really so slow to react, then the Fire Nation would not be the first of the five powers, and would have been replaced by the rest of the powers.

Is it deliberately laissez-faire...... Or is it that some officials in the Fire Nation were bribed by merchants with money...... Or is there a plan that the Fire Nation higher-ups are plotting against the Land of Waves?

These may all be there.

The only thing that is known is that the Fire Nation is fully aware of the situation inside the Wave Country, not ignorant of it.

"Isolated island...... It seems that it is necessary to go there and investigate something. ”

If she doesn't figure out the truth of the matter, she will be very passive in the face of the Fire Country's attack next.

It is not known whether the roots of Konoha are involved, in short, all the circumstances are unknown now, and if you want to gain greater initiative in the next operation, the situation on the isolated island must find a way to figure it out.

Behind the scenes of the illegal industry in the country of waves, there is the support of the Lonely Island Merchants.

Whether or not they have reached a secret agreement with the high-level leaders of the Fire Nation requires she, the principal, to investigate these matters personally.

On Shiraishi's side, she doesn't want to trouble for the time being, and she will handle the affairs of the country of waves in her own way.

Although I think so, I still have to do the report, contact and communicate in a timely manner, and report the situation. If her operation in the country of waves fails, the headquarters can also make adjustments in time to save the situation.

As for how to get to the isolated island that doesn't record his real name, Kazuhime also has a countermeasure. Kado, who came to the country of waves with her, and as the current president of the Shion Flower Shipping Company, must know how to get to that isolated island.
