In late summer and autumn, it was a good day for the outside world to be clear and cloudy, but the red sun still hung high in Shayin Village, and the distorted air silently told that here and outside were two worlds.

Although only the upper shinobi and the leaders of the major clans can participate in the public trial against Hoshino Mu, there are many people who are concerned.

Not to mention the ninjas in the hospital and reinforcements, the captives of the cloud ninja bribed the ninjas who were guarding every day to tell them some news about the outside world, and also got a lot of information from their small talk.

Dare to love that little ghost named Hoshino Mu is lying to them, and he has no rights at all!

Otherwise, could he have been dragged to the public trial not long after returning to the village?

But they have been reduced to prisoners, and they can't even commit suicide, so they can only let others eat them.

The same is true for merchants.

If peace is ushered in, they must open up logistics channels as soon as possible, and if the war continues, they must also prepare for the worst.

So even at noon, when the weather was the hottest, they still stood at the door of the venue in person, squatting in a cool shadow, wiping their sweat while staring at the door of the venue, waiting for first-hand news.

"It's too hot in this Shayin Village."

A merchant who looked like Snow Country couldn't help but complain.

He came to Shayin Village to do business, and he was originally able to leave soon, but he didn't expect that in the event of war, Shayin Village blockaded the village, and stayed here until now.

"No, my goods will be rotten if they are not unsealed."

"It's so frustrating that my daughter's birthday was missed."

“...”

As soon as the head opened, the scene instantly turned into a grievance meeting, and the merchants chattered like crows, until the patrolling ninja passed by.

At this moment, the door of the venue opened, and the merchants stood up instantly, their fat bellies as soft as marshmallows, and there was no burden at all.

"This..."

A merchant took a step forward, then hesitated.

The first thing to do as a businessman is to be able to observe words and looks, and the Shangninas who came out of the venue were all full of heaviness, frowning and a little anxious, not only Shangnin, but even the tribal leaders who they could only look up to on weekdays were not calm at the moment, and they were walking together in twos and threes, as if they were discussing something.

The two groups of people have different shapes, but they all have a frown in common.

It was Hoshino Mu, who came out last, with his hands in his pockets and his expression calm, like a nobody.

This made the businessmen incomprehensible, didn't it say that Hoshino Mu was publicly tried?

How does it look like Hoshino Maki Public Trial Sand Hidden Village?

The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm makes them afraid to step forward.

The merchant at the front saw a ninja look at him with a light in his eyes and turned to flee, but a large hand pressed his shoulder.

"Mr. Pol, I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you want to run away when you see me~"

Pol turned his head and squeezed out a smile: "It's been a long time since I've seen Captain Kazuya, how can I want to run, I just suddenly thought that there are important things to deal with in the store." ”

This guy in front of him is the Shangnin who guards the gate of Shayin Village, although every time he enters Shayin Village, he has to give a filial piety money, but this person in front of him wants a lot when he is on duty, and the businessmen privately call him 'Captain Peeling'.

But now this man is not as arrogant as before, but with a close smile and puts his arm around his shoulder.

"Don't talk about these little things, Pol, I heard that your goods can't be shipped, right?"

"Yes, I hope that Captain Kazuya can raise his noble hand..."

"Alas~ It's not that I won't help you, now the aftermath of the war is still there, even if you ship it out, you may not be able to safely transport it back to the snow country, so let's sell it to me directly, I will buy it at twice the market price, and I will never let you suffer!"

Kazuya interrupted him and patted his chest, looking like he wouldn't let others suffer.

Pol sensed that something was wrong, in the past, this guy took advantage of it for nothing, why did he suddenly buy it at a high price now?

And it's twice as high!

But he didn't dare to refute it when he sensed that it was wrong, because he could hear the threat in Kazuya's words, and there would be an accident on the way if he didn't sell it to him.

"Captain Kazuya, I..."

Pol was thinking about finding an excuse to leave and let himself inquire about what was going on, when he saw a big hand on Kazuya's shoulder, a thick palm.

"Kazuya, what are you talking about?"

Kazuya only felt a shadow over his head, and he turned around stiffly, only to see a strong man more than two meters tall, and a scar slashed through his right eye, making his face look particularly terrifying.

"Captain Yu, Yuyu!"

Kazuya immediately put his feet together and bowed to say hello.

Some people are shinobi because they are lucky enough, while some people are shinobi because there is only one shadow.

And that is, the lucky one.

His ninjutsu level is above average among ninjas in the same period, but because he made meritorious contributions to the battle against Iwa Ninja with Hakura, he is a rare perception ninja, so he was exceptionally promoted to a special ninja.

Of course, it's hard to say whether his sister, who became the side room of the concubine of the big clan, has contributed, anyway, he himself does not admit any nepotism.

And Yu Yong in front of him is a senior shinobi of the Ministry of Intelligence, not only from a large tribe and experienced in a hundred battles, but also a capable general under the Minister of Intelligence Yuta, and also the captain who led himself when he was under Ye Cang.

Yu Yong doesn't know Bol, but Pol can know Yu Yong.

Seeing that the big people he was not qualified to know in the past came to him, he immediately stepped forward and said with a flattering smile: "Lord Yuyong, down there is a grain merchant from the Snow Country, named Pol. ”

As he spoke, he took out a business card from his sleeve, bent down and raised his hands above his head, and handed it to the other party with great respect.

Yu Yong's eyes lit up, and he glanced at the two war-fighting expressions of nervousness, and snorted coldly, already knowing everything.

The national disaster wealth is also distributed by you?

You Yong quickly looked around with his spare eyes, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this, he squeezed out a 'kind' smile: "Pol, yes, good, good, Shayin Village needs a big drop of good people like you." ”

Saying that, regardless of Kazuya in front of him, he bumped into the other party, stepped forward and patted Pol's shoulder gently, and Pol's facial features were almost crowded together.

"You come with me, let's talk about the mutual help between the two villages of Shaxue."

"My lord, I'm a businessman, how do I know this?"

"It's okay, you help me first, and you'll understand when you're done."

Bohr:???

He swallowed his saliva with difficulty, only to know that he was out of Longtan and into the tiger's den, and there were no good people in this Shayin Village!

Looking at the two people in front of him, Pol knew that he couldn't get out of the way, so he could only pray that they would be kind and leave him some coils to go home.

"Sorry to excuse me, is it Mr. Pol?"

A gentle voice sounded from behind the three of them, and Kazuya and Yuyong turned around and saw the person coming, and their faces suddenly became nervous: "Hoshi, Hoshino-sama!" ”

Pol took advantage of the two of them to turn around and saw that the person who came was Hoshino Mu, the focus of Shayin Village during this time.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Pol has been in contact with each other so closely, and although there is no communication, the other party is different from the sand shinobi he has been in contact with in the past.

Most of those ninjas are fierce or ruthless, treating outsiders as if they were facing enemies, and there is no smile on their faces.

Hoshino Mu is different, Bol has never been in contact with the other party, but I heard that people who have dealt with him have not said that he is not good.

Perhaps it was due to the intense torture of Kazuya and Yuyu, Pol now felt that Hoshino's appearance was like a gift from God to his most loyal believers.

"I didn't interrupt the three of you chatting, did I?"

"No, no."

And also the same as the rattle that Yuyu's head shakes.

Kazuya Yuguang glanced at the other party, it was the first time to see the captain's attitude, it was like... Just like yourself.

"Very well, Mr. Pol, there's a business in the village..."

Seeing that Pol was nervous when he heard the word business, Hoshino Mu glanced at the two people next to him: "Don't worry, I promise I won't let you suffer, and there are a few businessmen who are also there, maybe you all know each other." ”

Pol's gaze wandered in front of the three of them, and it seemed that Hoshino Maki was more reliable.

"Of course I'm happy to do business with Shayin Village."

Looking at the backs of the two, Kazuya felt extremely remorseful, and he should have pulled Pol away directly at that time.

Just thinking about it, I felt that my ass was kicked hard, and the whole person flew out three meters away and lay on the ground.

"Don't use those crooked brains in the future!"

Kazuya, who was lying on the ground, rubbed his ass sideways and muttered in his heart: "It's not that I'm bad for you, I have the ability to kick Hoshino Mu!" ”

————

A conference room in the Kazekage Building, where Hoshino Maki and the merchants are divided on either side of a rectangular marble table.

Hoshino asked tea to be poured for them, and then smiled at the group of merchants who were flipping through the agreement.

In addition to the official reserves of the village, the largest grain merchant in Shayin Village is the Chiyo tribe.

Chiyo certainly wouldn't let the tribe raise prices, but not necessarily those small merchants, although each of them had not much food in their hands, but they should not be underestimated when they got together.

In particular, using them as a lever can easily warp the unrest in the village.

They don't understand Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but they also know that they can't live without food, and if a spy fanns the flames, it's easy to get into trouble.

"My lord, it's under control."

A ninja knocked on the door of the conference room, walked over to Hoshino Maki, leaned down and whispered in his ear.

Hoshino Mu nodded: "Have the villagers been notified?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Hoshino Mu smiled and said hard work to the other party.

After the man left, Hoshino Mu looked at the merchants who were communicating in a whisper, and said, "What are you thinking about?" ”

A merchant from the Land of Grass looked embarrassed: "My lord, we accept the plan of exchanging ore for food, but this amount..."

Others nodded in agreement.

"Yes, my lord, we have come all the way to Shayin Village, we can't do a loss-making business, right?"

"My lord, do you think that in addition to ore, can you also consider the grain franchise? If you leave it to us, we guarantee to bring you enough food from abroad! ”

"Your Excellency..."

Hoshino Mu looked at their greedy faces with a smile, and sure enough, no matter what world it is, the essence of a merchant is profit-seeking.

The conditions they gave them were enough for them to make a fortune, but they were not satisfied and still wanted more.

Hoshino Maki does not resent this nature, after all, desire is the driving force of human progress.

But desire must have shackles, and this group of people still wants to ask for franchises, is he really a fool?

The businessmen looked at Hoshino Maki's smiling face, and for some reason, they felt a chill down their spines, and their voices were a little lower, and finally, the conference room fell silent.

"Guys, why don't you do this, how about I exchange this thing for a ton of grain with you?"

Hoshino said as he ripped off his clothes, took the tiger's head gold belt from his waist and pressed it on the conference table.

Click——!

The cracks spread rapidly in the belts, and they didn't stop until they were slapped away from the teacup in front of them.

"Pure gold is made, if it is fake, if you don't believe it, you can ask the fourth generation of Ai, he can use the credibility guarantee."

There was a neat swallowing sound in the quiet room.

Although they are not ninjas, they still have some insight in traveling south and north.

The key to this hand is not to smash the table, but to let the crack spread to the same distance in front of everyone, this hand control kung fu they have never heard of, perhaps, only the legendary Tsunade Ji can do it, right?

And there is no need for Hoshino Mu to say, they also know whose belt it is, after all, the four generations of Ai used to show their breasts when they were fine, and walked around the village with this belt, and many people who have been to Yunyin Village have seen it.

And this belt is now here, combined with the current relationship between the two villages, the direction of this war is self-evident.

In other words, the war will end soon, and the shortage of food in Shayin Village will not be too long, so they now have to consider whether to make a quick buck or choose to maintain a long-term friendship with Shayin Village.

They are not oligarchic merchants, and with their status, it is rare to be able to form a friendship with a village.

Of course, the most important thing is that in front of the person in front of you, quick money doesn't seem to be easy to earn...

————

Hoshino Mu put away the signed agreement, poured himself a cup of tea, got up and walked to the window with the teacup, and looked at the notice outside the window while blowing away the tea soup, which said that the food supply system would be implemented next.

'Knock knock'

"Please come in"

"Hoshino-sama."

There was a knock on the door, but Hoshino didn't look back, and after the visitor entered the door, he stood still and didn't make a sound.

"Pol, don't you wonder why I called you back alone?"

"A small businessman like me, Hoshino-sama needs anything, just ask."

"Really?"

"What if... I want you to work for me? ”

This time I waited for a while, "My lord, I would be happy to cooperate with Sand Hidden Village." ”

Hoshino Mu turned around with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I have no ill will towards you, Pol, or... Mr. Miya Castle. ”

'Pol' was shocked, and then forced a smile: "My lord, I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Hoshino Mu shook his head: "Aren't you trying to use the Blood Dragon Eye on me, you tried to leave the Sand Hidden Village before and were unsuccessful, if you control me, it will be very helpful for you to leave the Sand Hidden Village." ”

'Pol''s pupils contracted suddenly, he didn't speak, his fists clenched, his body shaking, and finally, his clenched fists slowly released.

"My lord, how do you know?"

Miya Castle Yan is no longer disguised, and simply has a showdown.

It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but in the Kazekage Building, he doesn't have the guts to make a mistake.

Hoshino didn't answer his words, but asked rhetorically, "Are there still people from the Blood Pool in Hell Valley?" ”

Miya Chengyan shook his head: "No." ”

"Then you're doing it cleanly."

Combined with his age, Hoshino Maki determined that at this time, Miya Castle Yan should have just killed his clan to help his wife avenge, and he did not have the courage and strength of the future 'Death Merchant'.
