The dispute between the gangsters and the Gangsters was temporarily calmed down by the interference of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce.

Workers with bad character are forced to terminate their employment contracts, while workers who are really in difficulty will be helped by the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce to be freed from the loan contract of the gangsters, but will need to work for the Chamber of Commerce for thirty years to pay off their debts.

In this regard, the workers who owed the money expressed their willingness to work for the Chamber of Commerce, after all, in a desperate situation, it was the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce that rescued them and freed them from their difficulties, and the thirty-year debt work contract was completely reasonable.

When they are sheltered, they naturally have to pay their own labor, which is the truest thought in their hearts.

Rather, it can elicit their gratitude.

Thirty years of work means that the Chamber of Commerce will solve the problem of unemployment for them next.

Many workers regret it, why is it not themselves who owe money?

But this kind of thing can only be thought about, not all of the people who owe money to the gangsters are so lucky to have backers, and most of them have evaporated from the world.

In this way, the work on the construction site has also resumed normal operation, and the gangsters who have no reason to come and make trouble naturally do not dare to approach here again. The ninjas of the Oni Country still put a lot of pressure on them, and without a suitable reason to interfere, they could only honestly lurk in the shadows and wait for the opportunity.

"This is what Miss Yiji gave you?"

At the end of the day's work, Dazner called his old friend Keech to his home and put in front of him the proposal for the International Workers' Cooperative, which had not been opened to the working public, for his own reference.

"Yes, in this proposal, the Shien Flower Chamber of Commerce in the Land of Oni seems to want to set up an international workers' and people's organization to unify all workers and peasants in planning, liberate the so-called productive forces, and create wealth together. Members who join the company will receive daily necessities from the organization every year, and they will also be assigned jobs to the members who join the company. ”

"What is productivity? Why liberation? ”

When Kiki saw the content of the proposal, although he generally knew the words, but they were coherent, and Kiki was confused.

It seems to be a popular slogan among the workers and peasants in the territory of the Oni Country. Belch...... Roughly speaking, it means that the labor force of our workers and peasants will be pooled together to create greater wealth than in the past with advanced technology. ”

“…… Well, I always feel like it's troublesome. ”

Kage clasped his hands to his chest, looking unintelligible.

"And what do you mean?"

"Anyway, for those of us who live at the bottom, there's no harm, is it?"

Kiki asked.

"That's right. But I still think it's strange that businessmen are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, even if they are aster flower merchants with a good reputation. Without interest, businessmen will not invest. ”

This is also where Dazner has been distressed.

He didn't understand what qualifications he, or the workers and peasants, had to be courted by a giant chamber of commerce like the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce.

Bridge building expert? It's just that he is more famous here in the country of waves, and in front of a business group of such a size as the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, his expert name has no effect.

In the same way, most of the workers and peasants with a very low level of education can only have enough food and clothing, where are the conditions to create more wealth?

Dazner even felt that the proposal was full of pitfalls.

But the contents were carefully examined several times, and they did not notice the so-called trap.

It's not so much a worry as a feeling of novelty and confusion.

What is the benefit of the merchants in raising the lives of the workers and peasants, or liberating the so-called productive forces?

Arranging jobs, and even reissuing daily necessities, no matter how you look at it, businessmen lose money.

The so-called charity...... Dazner didn't believe in anything like that.

Businessmen invest, surely because it is profitable.

The same is true for this international workers' cooperative.

Because it is profitable, the Shien Flower Chamber of Commerce in the Land of Oni will formulate this plan.

This is where Dazner is most confused.

It's not that Dazna belittles his abilities, because they're too weak.

Weak enough to be valued by anyone.

This is the truth they have always believed to be.

A worker will always be a worker, a peasant will always be a peasant, and the bloodline of the superior will always continue.

This is the system of the ninja world from the beginning.

It is also a system recognized by all strata.

If the balance is broken, will the magnates of the Land of Waves be indifferent?

Dazna couldn't imagine it anymore.

Kidch didn't know about Dazner's concerns.

Compared to Dazner, he saw things farther away, all he saw was work, a better life.

The joy on his face could not be suppressed.

Humanity holding the torch will not return to the dark ages.

Although not so determined, Kitchen's heart longs for a higher quality of life and longs to change the status quo of his family.

The kindness that Kazuhime gave them also made him trust him unconditionally.

Such a kind businessman would not deceive them.

Because it's an opportunity to get out of poverty.

If you miss it, you may not have it in the future.

"You're worrying too much, Dazna, and although I don't know why Miss Kazuhime did this, as long as it's good for us, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the country is already so bad, maybe Miss Yiji is the savior of this country. ”

Keech said.

Dazner glanced at Kitsch, and although his attitude was a little fanatical, it was not unreasonable.

"Then I'll talk to the rest tomorrow, but I can't expect too much, because once this international workers' and people's cooperative is established, the amount of money consumed every year will be astronomical."

Dazner, while supportive, also showed a different level of concern.

With so many unemployed workers and peasants in the country of waves, once it is unprofitable, will the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce really help to the end?

Is this international workers' and people's cooperative a playful organization that came up on the spot, or is it ......

Dazna shook his head, not understanding what the purpose of the Aster Flower Chamber was.

But the gathering of more workers and peasants will surely attract the attention of the daimyo and nobles.

◎

"International Workers' Cooperatives?"

Although it is not a big deal, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who pays close attention to the movements of the Land of Waves, still learned about the recent events in the Land of Waves for the first time through secret channels.

With the information in hand, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation gathered several important ministers and came over to discuss together.

The main theme of the discussion was the international workers' and people's cooperatives that had recently been established in the country of Ami under the leadership of the Oni no Kuni.

An organization that has never appeared on the stage of ninja history.

The members were mainly proletarian workers and peasants.

Such a hilarious organization makes the atmosphere in the conference room very strange.

A Fire Nation powerhouse couldn't help but sneer.

"Messing around, what the Oni Country wants is just to establish this ridiculous organization within the territory of the Wave Country? If their top management is a comedy artist, it has a promising future. ”

The words of this important minister caused the rest of the important ministers to nod in unison.

Workers and peasants?

A group of vulnerable people who live at the bottom and can easily suppress a ninja force by sending a random force, how much profit can there be in wooing such a guy?

Even looking at the specific implementation goals inside, it seems that they have to send money to these workers and peasants in disguise...... This made the officials of the Fire Country unanimously believe that the high-level leaders of the Ghost Country had their brains collectively flooded?

It's a shame not to be a comedy artist.

Only the Daimyo of the Fire Country did not have that relaxed smile on his face, and gently covered half of his face with a fan, and his eyes narrowed, revealing a shimmer of light, as if he was thinking about something.

"What's the matter, Your Excellency?"

"No, nothing, just weird. Judging by what the Oni Country has done in the past, this is by no means untargeted. ”

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire speaks his mind.

"Is Your Excellency the Daimyo too worried?"

"I don't think I'm worrying too much. In the past in the country of ghosts, every move had a deep meaning, rather than just landing on the chessboard. If it is true that in the past I did not think it was useful to win over the workers and peasants, but it is these guys who have caused the civil unrest in the rain today. With powerful convenience ninja in their hands, they began to provoke the magnates of the Land of Rain. Isn't that a red flag? ”

The Daimyo of the Fire Nation turned grim.

“……”

The important ministers of the Fire Nation also came down silently, frowning and thinking.

"The reason why I united with the other four great powers and proposed to the Oni Country that they would not sell arms to small countries was to prevent the bottom from becoming dissatisfied with the status quo after they had sufficient weapons. Although we can mobilize ninja to suppress it, the population base of workers and peasants is very large, and if they are given sufficient arms, it will be a problem to make a stir. ”

"Is it taking them too seriously?"

In the existing history of the ninja world, there has never been a large-scale low-level counterattack against the powerful.

Like the Land of Rain, it can only be regarded as a partial contradiction, and it can't be extended to the entire ninja world.

As long as the five major powers are stable, then the so-called resistance at the bottom is just a joke.

A force of 10,000 people can be slaughtered at will if a hundred mid-level ninjas are dispatched.

But that's on the premise that there is no strong armament.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire walked to the side of the conference room and sat down on his cushion again, playing with a weapon, the kunai gun.

"This thing is so convenient, there is no threshold for use, even if a child of a few years old holds it in his hand, it can quickly become an excellent killing tool. Although not as powerful as ninjas, once it spreads, it is enough to cause riots in the ninja world. It won't be too easy to suppress it with a ninja. The ninja village of the small country may even be destroyed. ”

After all, in addition to the kunai gun, there is also the same convenient flying ninja that can be dropped in the air to carry out air strikes.

Again, this does not need to be too high, as long as it is a healthy and powerful young man, it can be controlled, not only ninjas.

Seeing that the Daimyo of the Fire Nation was so determined, the important ministers of the Fire Nation also realized the seriousness of the matter at once.

They are more worried about the Land of Waves than the Land of Rain.

Because unlike the Land of Rain, the Land of Oni has landed in the Land of Waves, and the Land of Oni has a military force that is feared by the great powers, and this is the key.

"So, how about instructing the Daimyo of the Wave Country to pay off the arrears and let the people of the Oni Country leave?"

"No, I can't. Now everyone knows that the Daimyo of the country of waves has no money, and if the country of ghosts makes a high-profile announcement after paying back the money, it will directly put the situation in the country of waves in a passive position. We in the Fire Nation now have no suitable excuse to suppress it by force. ”

Because if it is suppressed by force, the country of ghosts can also take the same countermeasures, and when the time comes, it will evolve into a war between the country of ghosts and the country of fire.

And the result of the war, although the important ministers of the Fire Nation are unwilling to admit it, they also have a very pessimistic attitude.

Chiba Shiraishi, a single move of forbidden art annihilated thousands of sand ninjas. It can summon a strange humanoid psychic beast and defeat Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas who has learned immortal arts.

The Uchiha Ruri, who holds the Uchiha clan's forbidden pupil kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, one of the five shadows, and thousands of besiegers, all suffered a crushing defeat. The strength is unfathomable.

Hinata Ayane, a ninja of the Hyuga clan who assisted Iwakure in the Third Ninja War and suppressed the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow head-on. Now the strength is unknown, but the strength is at least the Five Shadows class.

As long as the military of the Ghost Country is still controlled by these three people, then it is definitely the next choice to start a war with the Ghost Country head-on.

Not to mention, the Konoha Uchiha clan was wiped out, and Konoha cut off his own arm, and if a war breaks out between the Fire Country and the Demon Country, Konoha has a slim chance of winning the war.

The most likely outcome is a fiasco like the one in the Land of Winds!

If you really want to start a war with the country of ghosts, you must at least unite with another big country to put pressure on the country of ghosts.

With the power of the country of fire, it is already more than enough to deal with the country of ghosts.

Even if the Fire Country still occupies the title of the number one power in the ninja world on the surface.

That was thanks to the Third Shinobi War, and on a comprehensive level, Konoha was the only winner. But because of this, too much combat power was consumed.

The country of ghosts has survived the Third Ninja War with peaceful development, and now is by no means a good time to officially start a war with the Chinese Consulate.

The jealousy of the Daimyo of the Fire Country, the important ministers of the Fire Country naturally understand.

Konoha's continuous internal friction made them anxious in their hearts, but unfortunately, they couldn't interfere in Konoha's internal government affairs.

In the same way, Konoha will not interfere with the meetings on the side of the Daimyo's Mansion.

Although they are both important institutions within a country, there is not much in common between the two, and many times, exchanges will be closed.

This is the disadvantage of the one-country-one-village system.

One country and one village are political and military institutions that the regime cannot unify. It is only under external pressure that they are temporarily united. For example, in times of war.

"What is the Daimyo going to do? If the country of waves also evolves into a civil war situation in the country of rain, things will be in trouble. ”

If the International Citizens' Cooperative really has some kind of will for local war, then it is likely that the purpose of the Oni Country is to cause a civil war within the Wave Country, like the Rain Country.

In this way, the country of ghosts can fish in the country of waves without fishing in troubled waters, and even interfere in the internal affairs of the country of waves, if the country of waves leads to the country of ghosts, then for the country of fire, it is no less than putting a bomb at the door of these powerful people that may detonate at any time.

The Land of Waves is an outpost of the Land of Fire, and there is no room for error.

No one from another country will be allowed to interfere.

"Destroy this so-called workers' cooperative. Send a message to the Alliance of Traders on the Lonely Island and tell them to act as soon as possible. ”

"It's just that if you do this, it will take ...... time to annex the merchant alliance of the isolated island."

"No way, there will be time to clean up these people slowly in the future. Even if the merchant alliance that supports the isolated island gains a foothold in the country of waves, it is necessary to uproot the power of the country of demons from the territory of the country of waves! ”

In the eyes of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, the Merchant Alliance of the Isolated Island is basically zero threatening, and they can be cleaned up at any time.

But at this time, the wealth of the merchant alliance that annexed the isolated island will only form a situation where the snipe and the clam compete with each other and the country of ghosts will benefit.

"We get it. We're going to use the connections to communicate with them. Won't let people grab the handle. ”

"Not only that, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must also put pressure on it. It is necessary to make the country of ghosts sign an agreement as soon as possible that it will not sell arms to small countries, and the country of rain ......"

Knock knock!

A knock on the door interrupted the conversation of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire snapped his fan and squinted his eyes towards the direction of the door, and the conference room suddenly fell silent.

"Come in."

"Yes."

A ninja pushed the door open, clutching a scroll in his hand, and knelt down on one knee in front of the Fire Nation Daimyo and the others.

"Daimyo-sama, an urgent report from the Land of Rain."

"Land of Rain?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire narrowed his eyes.

The rest of the important ministers also looked puzzled.

"Bring it in."

The Daimyo of the Fire Country didn't guess anymore, and directly ordered the ninja to say.

The ninja respectfully stepped forward, put the scroll down, and exited the conference room.

"What's going on over there in the Land of Rain?"

The loyal retainers began to speculate.

"Just look at it, guess now. Anyway, I still believe in Danzang's ability. ”

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire said as he unwrapped the scroll.

After unraveling the scroll, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation took a quick look at the contents on it, his face silent.

As if seeing that the Daimyo of the Fire Nation had a wrong look and that something unimaginable might have happened, an important minister asked, "Your Excellency, what happened to the Land of Rain?" ”

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire rolled up the scroll and threw it aside at random, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "The worst has happened, one air warship and two frigates have crossed the river of the Land of Rivers and entered the territory of the Land of Rain. ”

With the rise of the Oni Country, the military institutions of the Oni Country are not as secretive as in the past, and many of the industrialized weapons of the Empty Country are displayed on the bright side.

In the past, the country of the sky had the ability to build warships, and the kunai gun and flying ninja equipment were also the technology of the country of the sky.

After these technologies were obtained by the Oni no Kuni, the kunai gun and the flying ninja equipment were both improved in technology, and their performance was even better.

Battleships have also become the weapons of naval combat for the Oni no Kuni military.

Previously, the Oni Country secretly visited the Konoha Ninja Village, and sent a warship to the port of the Fire Country to anchor, showing the power of their military in a high-profile manner.

"What?"

This news made the faces of the important ministers of the Fire Nation change drastically.

Not only the country of waves, but also the country of rain and the country of ghosts have begun to interfere?

"It's hard to believe, but the intelligence can't go wrong."

"The purpose of the country of demons is ......"

"Under the slogan of peace in the ninja world, mediate the war in the land of rain, and at the same time call on the civil war of the rain to be handled by itself, and the forces of other countries must not interfere."

Speaking of this, the face of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation turned completely gloomy.

◎

"I didn't expect it to be so fast, I thought it would take a while for you to send troops."

The frontline battlefield of the Land of Rain, the site that was occupied by gunsmoke a while ago, has now been reduced to the camp of Rain Hidden Village.

Nagato, who is the leader of Yuyin Village, personally received reinforcements from the country of ghosts.

The other party took off his robe and hat, appeared in front of Nagato in the guise of a shrine maiden, and shook hands with him in a friendly manner.

"This matter is quite important to Lord Shiraishi, the civil war in the rain is now related to the layout of the country of waves, so naturally it will not delay until next year to send troops. Missing the opportunity will only plunge the Oni Country into the quagmire of war, which neither of us wants to see. ”

The shrine maiden said with a humble and arrogant attitude.

"You've thought about everything."

"So, please take the pressure off of us while Mr. Payne arrives. Warships are sent to deter more than to fight, and only to disturb the enemy's line of sight. We will not directly interfere in the affairs of the Land of Rain, and we do not want to enter into a full-scale conflict with the great powers. ”

"Of course, I'm here for that reason. This is something I agreed with Chiba Shiraishi, and I will not let the eyes of the big countries keep my eyes on the country of ghosts. ”

Let the Land of Rain duly attract the attention of the major powers, and at the same time seek balanced development in the international community with ambiguous alliances.

This is the purpose of Nagato.

He hopes to use this war to give the Rain Country a respite after the war, instead of constantly fighting and breaking the Rain Country again.

If you continue to fight against the big powers, it must be the rain country if you lose first.

That's why the assistance of the Oni Kingdom is necessary. But on the other hand, the country of rain also has to share the attention of the country of ghosts and achieve a win-win situation for the time being.

For now, the enemies of the Ghost Country and Yuyin Village are still dominated by the Five Great Powers. This is the basis for cooperation.

"That's good. By the way, when I went out to collect information before, I happened to run into the oil girl Ryoma of the root, he is the deputy of Danzo, he can control a variety of insects, and he is very good at assassination and intelligence gathering. ”

The shrine maiden reminds you.

"Oil Girl Ryoma? I'll take note of it. ”

Nagato is in his heart, and the oil girl Ryoma is Tuanzang's deputy, and his ability cannot be underestimated.

"If Mr. Payne doesn't have time, I'll take care of it instead. It just so happens that I have a personal grudge to deal with my roots. ”

The shrine maiden smiled.

It's just that this smile, in Nagato's opinion, is really a bit too fake.

The face is wearing a mask, and no matter how you look at it, it seems that there is a lack of sincerity.

What is hidden under the false smile of the other party, whether it is malicious or goodwill, Nagato does not know.
