Chapter 176: Will Poverty and Happiness Really Coexist?
The sea breeze blows on people's faces, bringing a hint of coolness and a faint fishy smell.
This is the breath of the sea.
Suck~
Sunset Red breathed the air here, the expression on her face gradually softened, and her body and mind subconsciously relaxed. With her hands propped up on the side of the boat, she muttered as she looked at the small island in the distance that was high in the middle and low on all sides.
"Is that the island where the country of waves is located?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that the smell of the sea in the air seemed to change, and there was a slight pungent sensation that made her nose a little uncomfortable.
"The sea is really strange, the smell is still so varied, it was still fishy just now."
As the fog dissipated as the sun rose, the boatman looked at the nearby port of Ha no Kuni, wiped the sweat stains from his forehead, and said to the three ninjas on board.
"Ninja-sama, the country of waves is ahead."
On the island ahead, a town of pale yellow houses appeared in front of everyone, and when viewed from the sea, the buildings glowed golden in the light of the rising sun, giving people endless vitality.
The island country "Wave Country", a poor country ranked first in the ninja world.
Originally, the resources on the island were very scarce, and it is said that when the country of vortex was destroyed, some unknown ninjas came to attack the country of the vortex, and by the way, they ransacked the country of waves, and when they returned from attacking the country of the vortex, they ransacked the country of waves along the way.
Almost knocked this already poor country back to the Stone Age.
With the knowledge in the textbook in his heart, Asuka and the others went to the island, and as soon as they left the port, they were faced with a spacious street.
Street pedestrians wore coarse linen clothes that covered most of their bodies, while exposed skin was a sunburn.
When they saw the three of them landing, they all turned their heads to look at it, and a smile appeared on their faces.
"Konoha ninja-sama is here."
"Welcome, welcome."
"Welcome to the land of waves that have been reborn."
Seeing the civilians around him warmly welcoming the three of them, Sunset Red muttered silently in his heart the knowledge recorded in the history books.
"Although the people here have lost some weight, it seems to be a little different from what is recorded in the history books."
Men and women, young and old, are a little emaciated and have sallow cheeks.
It looks like it's caused by hunger, but seeing the smiles on their faces, it feels like it has nothing to do with hunger, it seems that this country is "thin is beautiful".
Zhishui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered.
"Total feeling. Something uncomfortable."
Asuka took a piece of candy from his pocket and threw it into his mouth, pouting his lips.
"When did ninjas become so popular with civilians, not to mention this country that is often harassed by ninjas, when we go to other countries, those civilians can see us and say hello, it is already a great courage."
Civilians smile at ninjas, forget it, and Asuka has encountered some in his ninja career for so many years.
But such a neat smile, such a heartfelt smile, he saw it for the first time.
Weird.
"Maybe they want to do tourism."
Looking at the newly built buildings on both sides of the street, Asuka wiped a handful on the wall and put it in front of his nose to smell it, then analyzed it while wiping the paint off his hands.
"These houses are all newly built, and coupled with the attitude of those people in the port towards ninjas, it is estimated that this is a tourist city dedicated to ninjas.
After all, ninjas are a very wealthy group and like to spend recklessly. ”
He walked in front of the two, secretly observing the newly built houses around him, frowning slightly.
He almost forgot the plot of the country of waves, but he probably still remembered.
About 15 years later, the year the Twelve Little Twelve graduated, it was still a poor country.
In order to build a sea-crossing bridge, an old man deliberately concealed the mission level and deceived the protagonist into killing him like a virgin.
At that time, the country of waves should not have been so prosperous.
Think of the peeling houses, the cracked glass, the garbage-strewn streets, and the yellow-skinned, listless people in the comics
Asuka contrasted the clean streets, the newly renovated houses, the bright glass, and the people who smiled at the ninjas, and the puzzled look on his face became even stronger.
"What if. .
If these houses had not been maintained for 15 years, it would have been in the time of Our Lady that they would have become what they remembered.
So, there should have been a change in the middle of the country of waves, and the momentum of prosperity has been interrupted? ”
Hearing the sound of Uchiha Asuka talking to himself in front of him, the confused Sunset Red opened his mouth to ask, but dismissed the thought.
She had never been in contact with Uchiha Asuka before and didn't know much about his personality, only hearing that he was an outlier in the Uchiha clan.
But as they become teammates, she discovers that the villagers are right about the Uchiha clan, and that the family does have some emotional problems.
The Uchiha Asuka is different from other Uchiha people, and his brain waves seem to be able to switch freely between normal people and Uchiha.
Thinking of the big trees that filled the yard at the beginning, Sunset Red directly turned her head to look at the steamed bun shop next to her.
The white steam drifted down the air to her face, and smelling the sweet smell in the air, she thought of the dry food she had eaten for so many days, and went to Asuka and asked for advice.
"Can I buy a few buns?"
Asuka glanced at the honest and honest steamed bun shop owner, then came to the steamed bun stall, poked the big white and chubby bun with his hand, put his finger to his nose and sniffed it, and spoke.
"Wrap it up."
As he spoke, he poked a few more buns with his other fingers and nodded.
"Wrap it up."
Turning around and handing her the wrapped bun, he explained after watching Sunset Red stand in place in a daze.
"It's safer."
Sunset Hong looked at the three buns in his hand that had been poked by his fingers, and his appetite suddenly decreased a lot.
As if seeing her hesitation, Zhishui paused and whispered as he passed by Sunset's side.
"It's edible, Asuka's medical ninjutsu is at the top level of the ninja world, and naturally his understanding of poison is also top-notch, so there is no need to doubt his judgment."
After saying that, he continued to walk after Asuka Bird, this country has changed too much compared to the previous intelligence, and there are some things that have to be guarded against.
Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving and the clan emblem of the fan behind them, after Sunset's red expression changed, she closed her eyes and bit the bun, as a ninja, she still knows some rules very well.
You can't waste food, you have to treat every meal as if it were the last meal, and the most important thing is that this food has been tested by medical ninjas and is safe food.
She's so stupid, why did she say eating steamed buns just now.
Next time she's going to have soup, the piping hot kind.
After walking for a while, Asuka led the two to a tavern, found a seat and sat down, and then a waiter dressed in sackcloth came over with a smile on his face, he handed the menu to Asuka, looked at the forehead guards on the heads of the three people, and smiled.
"The Konoha ninja-sama who came from afar can come to the store, which makes the inferior people feel very honored, and the boss has instructed that as long as the ninja adults come to consume, they will all be discounted."
Discount?
5% off is also a discount, and 9.5% off is also a discount.
In response to the waiter's conservative remarks, Asuka pursed his lips, ordered two things from the menu, handed him over to Shisui, lay down on the chaise longue, and said.
"Red, you can also order two more, three buns can't be satisfied."
Red glanced at the menu, then she shook her head as she touched her already full belly.
In the past, her appetite was not so small, but today she was full after eating three buns.
It must be angry, it must be
Asuka looked around at this time, the streets of the country of waves were not all civilians in sackcloth, there were also some people in strange clothes, they looked like civilians from other countries, and even he saw two black-skinned ninjas from Cloud Hidden Village, a ninja from Fog Hidden Village, and several wandering ninjas here.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he looked at the ninjas swaggering past the window, and then glanced at the civilians who were smiling at the ninjas.
It turns out that the people here are not just friendly to the ninjas of Konoha.
Then, Asuka pointed to the ninja on the street outside, turned his head to look at the waiter, and asked.
"You're so relieved that the wandering ninja is walking down the street??"
The waiter's face was smug.
"Konoha ninja-sama, please rest assured.
With the "Daimyo Kenpachi" here, the ninjas and lawless who dare to invade the country of waves, or cause chaos in the country, will be stopped by the Lord of Zhanghachi, our Daimyo is very powerful! ”
"Daimyo of the Land of Waves??"
Sunset Red raised her head, "When did the daimyo of the country of waves change?" ”
The waiter scratched his head, a little confused.
"About half a year ago, the original daimyo died, and his nephew, Kenhachi, suddenly came back and inherited the position of the daimyo."
As he spoke, the expression on his face became excited again, and he pointed to the big house in the middle of the island, and said in adoration.
"Kenpachi-sama scoffed at the nobles who hid in the castle like canaries and recited poems, believing that they stood so tall that they could not see the plight of the people at the bottom.
Therefore, after he came to power, he completely overturned the policies of his predecessor and carried out a series of reform measures.
The Land of Waves is now gradually being reborn. ”
The plot of the country of waves is what I thought of when I saw the TV version and those houses.
Although the houses in the country of Hanoki are broken, most of them are two-story small buildings, and there are very few on the first floor.
At first glance, it is the ancestors who have been wide.
The first two chapters are issued, and the third chapter is still in the code
