The noisy civilians outside made the daimyo of Ha no Kuni very upset.

He couldn't understand what these civilians were arguing about, you know, he was the daimyo of the country of waves, the ruler of the country of waves, and all this land belonged to him, and in his opinion, it was already a matter of great mercy to lend the land to this group of civilians for cultivation.

As a result, the group wanted more.

This made the Daimyo of the country of Wave very puzzled why, after the seizure of the workers' cooperatives opened by the country of ghosts, some civilians were in such a violent mood.

Although it caused a lot of turmoil, the Daimyo of Ha no Kuni, who was in charge, would not be afraid of such a senseless riot.

What fighting power can a group of civilians with farm tools have?

Sending a well-armed army over is enough to suppress it.

However, thinking of the signal from the Fire Country, it seems that he intends to let him calm the rebellious feelings of the people and not give the Ghost Country any opportunity to take advantage of.

In response to this, he also ordered that some granaries be opened and distributed free of charge to the people under his rule.

As a result, free food was given...... It's making trouble again.

This made the daimyo of the country of waves very faceless.

"Why are these untouchables coming here to make trouble again? Didn't I order the granary to be opened in the morning? ”

As a result of the civilians coming to make trouble, the daimyo of the country of waves was very displeased.

But the Fire Nation is an existence he can't afford to provoke, so he has to do as he is told.

Anyway, as long as some food is distributed for free and some small favors are given, the resistance of this group of civilians will soon subside.

But this result seems to be a little different from what he imagined.

The attendants who had been recruited glanced at the daimyo of the country of waves, and quickly lowered their heads.

"What the hell is going on? If you don't say it, your head is ready to move. ”

When the daimyo of the country of waves saw the dodging gaze of his attendants, his face immediately became serious.

As soon as he said this, the waiter's body trembled directly for a moment, and then he trembled and said:

"Your Excellency, the food distributed to those civilians outside is mixed with a lot of inedible stones, and it is filled inside."

"Doped with stones? What's going on? ”

The Daimyo of the Land of Waves looked slightly stunned.

Soon, the daimyo of the country of waves understood, and although the order to distribute food was conveyed, the power to deal with this matter was placed on the subordinate officials.

This kind of trivial matter is not worthy of his personal appearance, so it will naturally be handled by the relevant officials.

And his subordinate officials are all nobles from the country of waves.

It must be that after he opened the granary, he was privately detained by the nobles, and then mixed with stones to fill the number and distribute it to the commoners.

Guessing the cause and effect, the daimyo of the country of waves, his face suddenly became gloomy.

He was not angry at the fact that the nobles were withholding food and mistreating the commoners.

The reason why he was angry was because his subordinate officials changed his decision-making without communicating with him, and they disobeyed his name.

"Call all the officials who deal with this matter to me, and I will personally inquire about the situation."

The daimyo of the country of waves gave this order.

"The group of people out there......"

"Let the soldiers blow away all these untouchables, and if they can't leave, they will be put in prison and locked up for ten days and half a month, so that they can have a long memory!"

The Daimyo of the Wave Country had a fierce face and was very decisive.

"Yes."

The attendant didn't dare to slack off, and left the room directly to convey the order of the daimyo of the country of waves.

After a while, the sound of the disturbance outside did disappear, and the Daimyo of the country of Waves was also relieved, and his ears were finally a lot quieter.

If this group of guys is allowed to make trouble, he will not be able to sleep a little unsteadily in his afternoon.

About a quarter of an hour later, the attendant entered the room where the daimyo was with several officials.

After bringing the officials here, the attendants consciously withdrew and gave up the space.

The daimyo of the country of waves sat there, clutching the folding fan in his hand tightly, and glanced at the three officials with a grim expression.

"Why is this happening?"

The three officials knew what the Daimyo of Ha no Kuni was referring to, because the influence of the workers' cooperatives had not yet been eliminated, and now that this kind of thing had happened, it was obvious that a huge fire was brewing in the hearts of the Daimyo.

An official took the initiative to stand up and said respectfully to the Daimyo of the Land of Waves: "Your Excellency, we are thinking about the future of the Land of Waves. ”

The Daimyo of the Land of Waves frowned slightly, and did not rush to intervene, but waited for the following.

The official continued, "I would like to ask, Your Excellency, have you completely surrendered to the Fire Country? ”

The Daimyo of the country of Wave narrowed his eyes and looked at the three officials, they were nobles from different families of the country of Waves, and they had a very close marriage relationship with each other and the daimyo family where he was located, so it could be said that they were vassal nobles of the daimyo family, and they could be regarded as cronies.

"No, I'm in an equal relationship with the Fire Nation Daimyo."

For this kind of thing, don't talk about the three officials in front of you, the daimyo of Ha no Kuni himself doesn't believe it.

In terms of the title of the Daimyo, he is equal to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

However, the power of the Fire Nation and the Wave Nation is not equal.

This has also created that in the face of the behemoth of the Fire Country, the situation of the Land of Waves has always been at an absolute disadvantage.

However, in order to maintain the majesty of his daimyo, the daimyo of the country of waves had to say such things against his will.

"Then, we can't do exactly what the Fire Nation Daimyo wants."

The officials were righteous and awe-inspiring, and their tone was firm.

"What do you mean by that?"

The daimyo of the country of waves thought slightly.

"Your Excellency, I can say unceremoniously that the current situation in the country of waves is very bad, with the country of fire in the front and the country of ghosts in the back. And our country of waves is a weak country, and if we get involved in this dispute, the country of waves will never recover. ”

"However, according to the meaning of the Daimyo of the Fire Country, it seems that the Oni Country intends to infiltrate the people of the Wave Country to disturb the order of the Wave Country, so as to coerce the Daimyo Mansion and obey their orders."

The Daimyo of Wave Country voiced his concerns.

"So, can the country of ghosts take action?"

"Workers' Cooperatives ......"

"But after the seizure, the country of ghosts only fought on the basis of reason, and did not bully the weak, but sent diplomats to negotiate."

The official said.

The Daimyo of the Land of Waves thought about it carefully, and it was really like this.

After the seizure of the workers' and people's cooperatives established by the Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce, the Oni Country officials only negotiated through peaceful diplomatic means and gave the country of waves considerable respect, instead of directly pointing fingers at the internal affairs of the country of waves like the country of fire, and letting the country of waves act according to the arrangement of the country of fire.

The country of ghosts is pursuing international diplomatic equality, while the country of fire is using its own powerful force to force the country of waves to agree.

The diplomatic attitude of the two is judged by superiority.

"So, all of this is likely a series of conspiracies and tricks unleashed by the Fire Nation against our Wave Nation. And, if you think about it again, is it the country of ghosts that is closer to us, or the country of fire that is closer to us? If the two countries are at loggerheads, which side is more of a threat to the country of Poland? ”

The official was lured up.

The daimyo of the country of waves was silent in thought, and his heart also recognized these words.

"Your Excellency, the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce industry in the Land of Oni is spread all over the ninja world, and their development of the market in the country of waves is just their consistent business strategy. As for infiltrating the people to threaten the rule of the Daimyo's Mansion, it is obviously nonsense. Because only by supporting Your Excellency the Daimyo can the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce reap more benefits. Businessmen are businessmen, not philanthropists. ”

"However, they have done a lot of charity ...... to help benefit the people."

"The benefits of killing pigs after fattening will be higher, and the country of ghosts doesn't want to dry up and fish. In the business world, the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce clearly understands the truth of making money better than the rest of the chambers, and they have always done so. The most important point is that we are too close to the Daimyo of the Fire Country, and at the same time reject most of the cooperation projects of the Oni Country, in other words, the only people that the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce can win over in the Land of Waves are the untouchables below. ”

Hearing this official's answer, the Daimyo of Wave Country suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.

Indeed it is.

The Ghost Country Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce came thousands of miles to the country of waves, and it was obviously impossible to remotely control the country of waves thousands of miles away. Therefore, doing business is the only goal of the Aster Flower Chamber.

The other party is a businessman, and he has an excellent reputation in the ninja world, and has never done anything like buying and selling. What we want is win-win cooperation.

And the country of waves did not give the other party this opportunity, but mixed with the country of fire, and the country of ghosts, which has a very poor relationship with the country of fire, can only start from the people of the country of waves, and slowly open up the market of the country of waves.

All because the country of waves did not give the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce a chance to prove its innocence, but continued to suppress the industry of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce in the country of waves according to the instructions of the Fire Country.

"That's the truth of the matter. Your Excellency, if we help the Fire Nation to get rid of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, then the Fire Nation will be even more brazen in its attack on the internal affairs of the Wave Country. On the contrary, the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce is kept and backed by the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce in the Oni Country, which is enough to become a powerful aid to limit the Fire Country's interference in the internal affairs of the Wave Nation. ”

"What does that have to do with your mixing of grains with stones?"

If this matter is not dealt with, the untouchables will definitely come and make trouble again.

Although the cells in the Daimyo's Mansion were large, it was impossible to arrest all the troublemakers.

Sometimes, it is necessary to consider the emotions of this group of untouchables.

"Because we want to send a message to the Aster Flower Society."

"Signal?"

"The Land of Waves is not completely bound to the Land of Fire, as long as this signal is passed on to the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, I believe they will understand the intentions of our side and will take the next step. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire wants us to quell the people's troubles, and we can't resist on the surface, but we can use practical means to hide from the world and secretly unite with the Aster Flower Chamber. It even helped the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce to gain more fame among the people. ”

"Won't that be a problem?"

The daimyo of the country of waves was a little worried.

"Your Excellency, do you think that the untouchables together can have the power to threaten us? The Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce is just a Chamber of Commerce, a businessman who does business, as long as we are willing to unite with the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, they will no longer get involved with that group of untouchables. ”

The official smiled confidently.

This is a multiple-choice question that allows you to pick the right answer without thinking about it.

By cooperating with the Daimyo Mansion and the nobility, the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce can make more profits in the Land of Waves, just like the Merchant Alliance of the Isolated Island.

On the contrary, if you cooperate with that group of untouchables, not only will you not make money, but you may also get it backwards.

What can a bunch of untouchables who can only plow the land and do a little rough work get out of them?

Officials who have traveled thousands of miles to travel to the country of waves, and have worked closely with countless merchants, do not believe that the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce is here to do charity.

The reason why they show kindness to the untouchables is that the Aster Flower Chamber is casting a long line to catch big fish, and they are more insatiable than the ninety percent of the merchants in the ninja world.

The Daimyo of the Land of Waves nodded.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. If those untouchables come to make trouble again, I will send someone to blast them out, and then let the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce appease them, so as to restrain the Fire Country. ”

"Your Excellency the Daimyo is wise, then, we still have important things to do, so we will retire first."

The three officials had joy in their eyes and exited the room.

After exiting the room, one of the officials smiled and said, "In this way, the task given to us by Mr. Cardo is complete." I didn't expect that just by saying such a thing, I could get a reward of 100 million taels, so it would be too easy to make money. ”

Another official smiled: "Of course, as long as we pry open our defense line here, the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce can squeeze out of that group of untouchables at that time." ”

The three officials didn't care about this.

On the contrary, the more ruthless the Aster Flower will harvest at that time, the more 'protection money' will be handed over to them.

Anyway, it is never them who suffer, and as for the lives of the untouchables, it is not within their consideration.

"The Fire Country's ......"

"Let's fool around for the time being, when the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce has no oil and water for us to fish, it's not too late to reunite with the Fire Country."

Although it is not clear why the Fire Country and the Demon Country have taken a fancy to the land under their feet at the same time, this does not prevent them, a group of land snakes, from using the authority in their hands to profit from these two countries.

Whether it is the country of fire or the country of ghosts, what flows out of the fingers of any country can make their group of petty nobles rich.

◎

Late January, January 21.

The bitter winter has not yet passed, and the land of clouds in the land of thunder is still covered with frost and mist.

From a distance, you can see the pitch-black mountain range located in the depths of the frost and mist, which is the famous Yunlei Gorge in Yunyin.

The Yunlei Gorge, which originally hid the sound of thunder in the sky, also died down and fell silent in this season.

The buildings of Yunyin Village are located between the mountains and ravines, and the terrain is very peculiar, giving people a shocking feeling.

When Shiraishi came here, it was one o'clock in the afternoon.

The smell of the New Year has not completely passed, and most of the cloud ninjas are in their leisure time on vacation to accompany their families.

Only a small number of Cloud Hidden Ninjas are still changing shifts, maintaining the huge war machine of Cloud Hidden Village. Even during the Chinese New Year, it is busy and rarely has time to rest.

Because it was a secret visit to Yunyin, neither Baishi nor the high-level officials of Yunyin Village did not make any big fuss about the reception ceremony.

In that way, it will only be known that the country of ghosts and the country of thunder are once again closely united.

If the Fire Nation had known in advance, I am afraid that a lot of changes would have been born.

Whether it is the country of ghosts or the country of thunder, it is not enough to use the power of one family to completely pull the country of fire down from the altar.

Both sides are well aware of this.

It has become the reason for the in-depth cooperation again this time.

Just sending ninja troops to guard the border can't put more pressure on you.

What's more, Konoha Ninja Village also has a plan to deal with it.

The interval between the Second and Third Ninja Wars was very short, and it can be said that the participating countries basically did not rest, and broke out continuously, making the major countries participating in the war exhausted.

The country of thunder finally withdrew from the quagmire of war, and naturally did not want to start the fourth ninja war.

Then, the way to break the game is particularly important.

Greeting Shiraishi is the four generations of Thunder Shadow's cronies, Shangnin Darui.

The other party is a blood inheritance limit Lan Dun ninja, and at the same time inherited the black thunder ability of three generations of thunder shadows, although he is young, in front of Shiraishi, a senior in the ninja world, he is also a young man, but his strength, in the cloud hidden ninja, is also second to none.

Let such a shinobi come to greet him in person, which also shows the respect of the four generations of Thunder Shadow for him.

No matter what, now is also the honeymoon period for the cooperation between the country of ghosts and the country of thunder, and the two sides, as military leaders, naturally have a broken connection in private.

In the past few days, the cooperation has generally satisfied the top leaders of the two countries.

Darui took Shiraishi to a private meeting room in the Thunder Shadow Building, a separate meeting room used by the four generations of Thunder Shadow to receive distinguished guests, which was not a large space, but it seemed extremely important.

The only person who followed Bai Shi was the Tianyu Girl, the clone of the wind, and for Bai Shi, the guards on the bright side only needed the Tianyu Girl alone.

And on his body, there is a shadow dancer of Yin hanging at all times.

With these two clones as guards, Shiraishi traveled lightly from the country of ghosts and came to Yunyin Village as quickly as possible to determine the next step of cooperation.

"Please wait, Lord Thunder Shadow will be here later."

In the conference room, the person in charge of receiving Shiraishi was Yunyin Kamishinobu Bui.

The personal secretary of the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow has mastered a very rare time and space ninjutsu - the technique of heavenly delivery, and when the chakra is enough, he can instantly transfer objects to the place he wants, without the need to set up markers in advance. From the point of view of transporting resources, I'm afraid it's more convenient than Konoha's Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Flying Thunder God's technique to teleport materials needs to be marked in advance, otherwise it will not be able to be transmitted.

And Yun Yin's Heavenly Sending Technique can easily do this, and in the past, Yun Yin Village also relied on this ninjutsu to calculate Ayane once.

As a ninja village in a big country, Yunyin's heritage is naturally good.

Shiraishi nodded, did not answer, just quietly waited in the conference room for the arrival of the four generations of Thunder Shadow.

Azabui was also meticulous and stood aside with Darui, and had no desire to talk to Shiraishi.

About five minutes later, after Shiraishi had finished half a cup of tea, the door to the conference room was pushed open.

"I'm sorry, I wasted a little time cultivating in Yunlei Gorge, and I didn't keep you waiting, did I?"

The four generations of Thunder Shadow walked in shirtless, with a towel on his body to wipe his sweat, and swaggered in.

A strong dark muscle, which looks very powerful.

Just by looking directly, you can feel the powerful chakra coming to your face.

Monster.

With such a large chakra comparable to the level of a tailed beast, it is hard to believe that this is something that humans can do.

Whether it is the third generation of Thunder Shadow or the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow, their physique and chakra amount are all abnormal existences.

"It's okay, I didn't wait long."

Shiraishi replied with a smile.

After Baishi's words fell, Azabuyi touched his forehead, looked like he had a headache, and said, "That, Lord Thunder Shadow, you are very rude in front of a lady. Can't you just put on your clothes properly? ”

If this continues, what will the guests who come from afar think?

Could it be that their Thunder Shadow-sama has a strange muscle exhibitionism?

"You're too long-winded, Ma Buyi, I rushed over from Yunlei Gorge in the shortest possible time, where do I have time to tidy up my appearance. And, for ninjas, everything is simple. That's not what we're talking about today, is it? ”

The four generations of Lei Ying ignored Azabui's serious lesson, and sat in his own place.

Azabui sighed and stopped talking.

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow appeased Ma Buyi, looked directly into Bai Shi's eyes, and said, "Then, let's officially start this meeting now." As far as I know, the current situation in the country of ghosts is not good, and the country of wind in the south is about to move, and thousands of sand ninjas have gathered in Kazami Castle, intending to be detrimental to the country of ghosts. ”

"In this game, the position of the Wind Country is insignificant, and even if they unite with the Fire Country, they will weigh the pros and cons and consider the consequences of another conflict with the Land of Demons. Without complete certainty, they did not dare to act rashly. ”

Shiraishi's words, the four generations of Thunder Shadow didn't know if it was out of arrogance, or if the other party had a mysterious backhand and could easily solve the hidden danger of the Wind Country.

Therefore, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow frowned and said, "So, what can we gain by continuing to cooperate with your Ghost Country?" ”

"The Land of Fire gave up the position of the head of the Five Great Powers, and Konoha gave up the position of the head of the Ninja Village. The Land of Ghosts will fully support the Land of Thunder and Cloud Hidden at that time. ”

Shiraishi gave this condition directly.

The Land of Thunder is a foreign power country, with a very deep economic and military heritage, so the only place that is not satisfied with the status quo is its international political influence, which has always been pressed by the Land of Fire.

The so-called diplomacy is to see what the other side lacks and what it can give.

What is missing in the Land of Thunder is clear at a glance, and Shiraishi only needs to prescribe the right medicine.

The four generations of Thunder Shadow considered Shiraishi's proposal.

It is true that now the Land of Thunder has initially joined the camp of the Kingdom of Ghosts to jointly oppress the State of Fire, but the cooperation is not close enough.

It is also unknown to what extent the Ghost Country could support the Thunder Country before.

But now that it's 'full support,' the meaning is completely different.

The status of the country of ghosts has been quite stable, and the war in the country of wind, the instigation of the underground black market, the game in the country of waves, the country of rain and the country of fire, and the destruction of isolated islands have all proved the military and political and diplomatic capabilities of the country of ghosts.

"What is the country of ghosts going to do?"

The four generations of Thunder Shadow were silent for a moment, and suddenly asked.

Although it is a fact that the Land of Fire and Konoha have declined, the Ninja World still recognizes the Land of Fire as the head of the five powers, and Konoha's influence is also above the Cloud Hidden Village.

The Land of Thunder and Yun Yin want to ascend to the throne, and there is still a crucial opportunity missing.

At this time, it is necessary to deal a severe blow to the external power of the Fire Nation and greatly weaken its influence internationally. It provides a perfect entry point for the land of thunder and the cloud hidden upper position.

Shiraishi took out a scroll from his bosom and said indifferently: "The plan for the country of ghosts has been drawn up, as long as the country of thunder cooperates with the actions of the country of ghosts next, it will not take three months, and before the end of this spring, the country of fire and Konoha will be defeated." ”
