I don't know when Cardo met those people of the three religions and nine streams, instigating Cardo. What was supposed to be a good caravan has become a tool for Cardo to collect money. As a result, the caravan was not as good as before, and the ships in Wave Harbor gradually disappeared.

Not only that, but after seeing that the caravan's income had deteriorated, Cardo set his sights on the country of waves, including the port of waves, at the suggestion of his subordinates.

With those thugs recruited from outside, Cardo bullied the villagers in Wave Harbor and wanted to take control of the place.

But he was blocked by Kosuke, who was guarding here, and Kosuke's strength was not comparable to those ninjas under his strength.

However, if the light is not good, it will come to the dark, and the Cardo faction's subordinates keep making small moves and sabotage, and Kosuke is only one person, so he can't take care of all of them, and Cardo is Kachi's child, and Kosuke is not easy to do.

In desperation, one day, once Kachi's men found Kosuke.

It turned out that after Kutch's death, they were still barely maintaining the caravan, at least until Cardo became an adult.

But none of them expected that after Cardo took office on the front foot, he would immediately kick these old ministers away on the back foot.

However, it seems that they received instructions from Kuchi before his death, and they did not resist, silently left, and settled in the country of waves.

It wasn't until Kado extended his greedy desires to the country of waves that they handed over the letter left by Kachi to Kosuke.

Later, through the message in the letter, Kosuke forcibly confined his claws to the port of waves, and Kado moved with the others to the interior, and together with the other scattered villages, he established the large village.

In this incident, Kosuke also realized his poor level in politics and took on the position of guardian with peace of mind.

"I see, all those former Kutch subordinates are still there, right?"

Xue Hui patiently listened to the whole ins and outs, nodded, and then asked.

"Here we are, Lord Xuehui!"

Hearing Xue Hui's inquiry, among the villagers who surrounded several floors around, a few middle-aged people with vicissitudes of life were squeezed in, and at first glance they were middle-aged people who had been engaged in maritime affairs for many years.

"Very well, you wait to return to Wave Harbor with me, and you will take over the rest of the fleet."

Xue Hui looked at them and said with satisfaction.

"My lord, Nakachi is ...... child"

To Xue Hui's surprise, he didn't expect them to agree happily immediately, but instead exchanged glances with each other and asked hesitantly.

"You're worthy of the people chosen by Katch to ask for the future, and it's very good. But don't worry, I'll only discipline him on behalf of his father, and then I'll arrange for him to do other things to train him. ”

Xue Hui expressed his appreciation for these people and replied.

"Yes! My lord! ”

Several people got a reply, and hurriedly responded.

"Okay, then I still need your help when I return to Wave Harbor."

Xue Hui asked the surrounding villagers, and the villagers hurriedly agreed.

"In addition to that, I have two other things I want to ask you, you and you, to be exact."

Yukiki pointed at Kosuke and Kotaro.

"First of all, Kosuke, why did you become Konoha's traitor?"

Xue Hui asked.

When Kosuke heard this, he showed a helpless expression, and replied with some bitterness:

"It's not a big deal, it's just that later Konoha people came to me and asked me to go back on a mission, but I refused."

"Then they threatened that if they refused the order, they would be treacherous, and then attacked me without warning, but I was subdued."

"After that, I couldn't get angry, and I put this mark on my forehead."

Kosuke told the truth that he had already seen it now.

"I guess you came looking for you with the masked shadows?"

Xue Hui thought for a moment and asked.

Kosuke nodded: "That's right." ”

"I probably know, Kosuke, would you like to join the Vortex Country? In the past ten years, the country of vortex owes you too much favor, and I sincerely invite you to become one of us. ”

Xue Hui sincerely invited.

Kosuke looked a little entangled, and then he sighed and promised:

"Okay, I'd like to join the Vortex Shinobi, but please allow me to keep this Konoha forehead guard, it's a testament to the years I've spent with my teammates."

"That's fine, welcome, Kosuke!"

Xue Hui said with a smile, and then, he turned his gaze to Kotaro.

When the other party was looked at a little unnaturally by Xue Hui, Xue Hui spoke:

"Can you tell me who taught you puppetry?"

Before Kotaro could answer, Kosuke spoke first:

"It's the Mozaemon of the Land of Wind, but he's using the name Konmatsu here."

"Monzaemon? It turned out to be him? Then it all makes sense. ”

Xue Hui was surprised to hear this familiar name.

"He came to the Land of Waves a long time ago, but he seems to have avoided you every time, and he doesn't want you to know that he is living in seclusion."

Kosuke continued.

"It was only a few years later that I crossed paths with him. According to him, he took in several disciples and passed on to them the development of a new school of puppetry. ”

"Why is there a puppeteer under Nacaddo's hands?"

Xue Hui was puzzled.

"Humph!" At this time, Kotaro finally spoke up, only to see him say angrily: "Those are all traitors!" For the sake of some money temptation, I violated the teacher's admonition! ”

"That's the way it is," Kosuke took over and explained, "Some of the disciples of Monzaemon were expelled for violating his ideas, and they joined Cardo's faction and aided in the abuse. ”

"And the rest of the disciples, after learning the art of Monzaemon, became a member of the guardian village."

Kosuke pointed to a few people in the crowd, and Xue Hui looked at it, and they all touched their heads embarrassedly.

"As for Kotaro, he is the only one who was accepted as a disciple by Monzaemon, and at the same time that he was taught the new puppet technique, he was also taught the puppet technique of the sand ninja, so Kotaro can be said to be the one who inherited the mantle of the Monzaemon."

Kosuke introduced.

"It's a pity that my strength is far from enough, and I can't last a few seconds under Kosuke-sama."

Kotaro was a little discouraged.

"Mozaemon is interested in your character, your attitude, and your talent. Like your teacher, I believe that one day you will become a powerful puppeteer like your teacher! ”

Kosuke touched Kotaro's head and encouraged.

Xue Hui beckoned to Xuan Weng behind him at this time, and introduced to everyone:

"This is Xuan Weng, although he is not a puppeteer, he has a lot of research in this area, I will let him help you improve your strength."
