"Not allowed!"

After the United Company's Wind Country Branch passed back to Konoha the request of the three generations of Kazekage to contract the oasis to increase the tax rate, Uchiha Tokumitsu vetoed it without saying a word.

The courier of the United Company had no intention of trying to say anything, and immediately complied.

Although Uchiha Tokumitsu knew that this move would inevitably lead to Sunagakure's displeasure, he still had no intention of compromising on it.

Because man's desires and greed are endless.

Once Sha Yin's request is met this time, it will only lead to a bigger appetite next time, and the United Company will not be able to agree to Sha Yin's rude request every time, let alone do a loss-making business, so it is better to beat him to death with a stick in one go.

As for the dissatisfaction of the sand hidden......

To be honest, Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't care much anymore.

Because the secret report from the Sand Hidden side had been presented to his table, even the conversations and even expressions of the parties when the three generations of Kazekage held a meeting were depicted as if they were there.

In particular, this information was taken out of the original minutes of the meeting by the "collaborators" of the sand and hidden parties, and then polished on the basis of the originals based on their own personal experience.

Therefore, since the opponents have already passively opened, Uchiha Tokumitsu can't think of how he will lose!

After the messenger of the United Company left, Uchiha Tokumitsu summoned the attendant ninja and ordered, "Inform the commander of Fugaku that the Western Border Defense Force will be the second to carry out military reform, so that he can be ready." ”

After the joint anti-terrorist force completed the reform of the ninja army, Uchiha Tokumitsu planned to promote it among the standing ninja armies of the shogunate and Konoha , but he didn't think of letting it relay there for the time being.

But now it seems that since Sha Yin is a little restless, then just put a little pressure on them.

But you can't just slap it, Uchiha Tokumitsu is also ready for sugar.

That is, the United Company will increase the number of ninjas hired by the Elders in the Land of Wind.

Since those high-level people in Shayin think it's difficult to do things, then don't do it at all! Uchiha Tokumitsu is confident that he will pull the bottom of the sand that has not gained much in the process of turning the village into a country to his side.

After all, the sky is big, and the money is not as big as the joint company!

……

In the moonlight of the night, a long snake emerged from a quagmire in the Swamp Country, opened its jaw, and spat out a man.

"What a wonderful moonlight......

After nearly four months of "dwelling" in the Dragon Cave, the reborn Jiraiya greedily breathes the sweet air of the ninja world.

Even though the muddy area of the country of swamps is filled with the smell of fallen leaves and rotting corpses, after so long of precipitation in the Dragon Ground Cave, Jirai still feels extremely fresh.

After all, compared to the dragon earth cave full of snake poison and stench, the ninja world is still too beautiful!

"What a wonderful world...... It's a shame to let the Uchiha's thieves dominate! ”

Jiraiya muttered to himself.

Then Jiraiya stuck out his tongue, and through the smell perception, he found a popular direction to run.

Originally, he didn't have such ability.

But during this period of time in the Dragon Earth Cave, he also passively obtained such an ability.

Because now he is already an earth-bound traveler in the two holy lands of Miaomu Mountain and Longdi Cave.

- In short, it was he who was also bitten by the White Snake Immortal.

And because the power of the Dragon Earth Cave is too domineering, it has a lot of conflict with the relatively peaceful power of the Miaomu Mountain Immortal, although it was able to maintain balance under the auspices of the White Snake Immortal, but Jiraiya's eyes also became vertical pupils.

“…… Am I still me? ”

Just as he was about to enter the town, Jiraiya suddenly stopped, standing on a hill outside the town and looking at the fireworks in the distance.

“…… I caught more than 200 poisonous snakes this time! ”

Suddenly, a distant conversation interrupted Jiraiya's self-contemplation.

"The caravan of the United Company should be almost there, right? This time it should be able to sell for a good price~"

"It's not a big problem, after all, snake wine is in short supply, and the ninja masters of the United Company are willing to give money!"

"Alas~ It's just that the tax draw of the aristocratic lords is too powerful......"

"It would be great if we could be like the country of grass......"

Jiraiya stared at the vertical pupils and looked behind him.

It's still far away, but my hearing has become sharper......

Jiraiya squinted his eyes and looked at a team of snake catchers hundreds of meters away.

Although the side effects from the power of the Dragon Earth Cave at this time gave him the urge to kill, he still endured it.

After all, the country of the marsh is the territory of the shogunate, and he can't startle the "snake".

It's just that looking at the long snakes that were arrested, he suddenly had a kind of grief of "things hurting their kind".

"It's really ......"

Jiraiya covered his eyes and sighed.

He knew that this was the influence of the power of the Dragon Earth Cave, and he also knew that this influence would be detrimental to him, but it was difficult to suppress his emotions and impulses.

“…… I don't know what the Great Immortal thinks! ”

Jiraiya shook his head, then touched his wallet, counted the shogunate gold yuan with disgust, and then greeted him.

"Hey!"

Jirai, who strode forward, also stopped the snake catcher's team.

"Hello...... Dear Ninja-sama. ”

The snake catcher hurriedly saluted.

What they saw was a burly Konoha ninja figure.

It's not the first time I've walked in the shogunate's territory, so I've already put on a transformation technique for myself as a cover.

And these mortals who don't have chakra naturally can't see through his disguise.

"Sell me, these snakes!"

Jiraiya's tone was very stiff.

Although he wanted to be at peace, he couldn't spare the energy to change his attitude when he struggled with the desire to kill in his mind.

Even if it's a disguise.

"Ninja-sama, our side is a caravan underwriting area......"

An elderly snake catcher plucked up his courage and said, "According to the rules of the ninjas of the United Company, our prey can only be sold to the underwriting caravans in our own area......"

"Money! I have! ”

Jiraiya took out a wad of gold yuan coupons from his arms and waved them at the snake catcher team, "I give the money, you give the goods!" ”

At the same time, there was also a kunai that was brought out of his arms, intentionally or unintentionally.

Looking at the kunai with a ghostly light on the ground, the courage of the snake catchers suddenly disappeared.

Although they don't know why this "Konoha Ninja" has such a bad attitude, which is very different from the amiable Konoha adults in the caravan, as civilians at the bottom of the ninja world, they still know what to do at this time.

Therefore, the snake catcher happily chose to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

"For the sake of performance, buy goods in the district, don't say it!"

After the transaction was completed, Jilai also carried the snake cage and said in a stiff tone.

The snake catchers were busy nodding their heads.

"It seems that not all Konoha adults are so kind......"

After Jiraiya walked away, a snake catcher whispered.

"Yes, yes, I feel like he's going to eat me!"

Another young man nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, the money ......"

The old man of the snake catcher counted the golden yuan coupons in his hand, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

"That's a lot of money......

"But it also breaks the rules."

"Rules are not important for money!"

The snake catchers argued, but their eyes wandered over the old man.

"We split the money."

The snake catcher said suddenly.

"Good!"

Everyone's okay anymore.

The decision to divide the money is decided by the old man, so the responsibility is naturally borne by him.

And then ...... When the time comes, we will go to the caravan together to report this, and no one can escape it! ”

Then, the old man added.

The snake catchers looked at each other.

……

Jiraiya is back in the swamps deep in the country of swamps.

It is also the place where all kinds of poisonous snakes are most frequented, but due to the danger, few snake catchers come to this place to catch them.

"Alas......"

Standing on the branch of a dead tree in the middle of the swamp, Jirai also sighed for his impulsiveness.

He sighed why he was so bold, and why he didn't kill the snake catchers.

Regardless of whether the snake catcher snitches or not, the process of contact with them means that it is a potential hidden danger.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiraiya opened the snake basket and poured out the poisonous snake that was stunned by the drug.

Although the poisonous snake quickly "woke up" from its coma after passing through the muddy water of the swamp, it immediately began to kill each other.

And Jiraiya looked at the cruel picture under his feet in a daze, a little overwhelmed......

It was nothing like what he had envisioned!

Even if these rescued poisonous snakes fled immediately, it would be better than passively starting to kill each other!

Zilai's hands and feet are numb, like falling into an ice cellar.

"It's nature~"

A small flower snake poked its triangular head out of his cuff and looked with great interest at the "kind" who were fighting underground.

"Nature?!"

Although he is not a naturalist, with his knowledge of snakes, he will not be so crazy!

"As long as the higher snakes in the Dragon Cave exist, these mortal creatures will be stimulated to instinct and enter the state of devouring evolution......

Little Flower Snake said indifferently.

"This ......"

I'm also a little speechless, and I don't know what to say.

"By the way, your existence will too, after all, you can't completely converge the power of the Dragon Cave~"

The little flower snake spat out the letter, looking at the group of snakes that were fighting, and seemed to be a little impulsive.

Jiraiya suddenly felt a little dizzy.

"Plunging the world into genocide, is that what I'm doing......"

"Isn't what I've been doing to uphold justice......

"Akatsuki Organization ......"

"Betrayal ......"

I just feel that this wonderful world has suddenly become black and white.

"But...... I can't go back! ”

After a long sigh, Jiraiya touched his neck.

There was a tooth mark there.

It is the mark left by the White Snake Immortal in Longdi Cave who "bestowed" his strength.
