Businessmen have always been very sensitive, especially businessmen engaged in international grain trade.

And countries like the country of wind and the country of earth are absolutely the soil for international grain trade.

After all, they always need to rely on buying food from outside, and after the ninjas of the Land of Wind and Earth plundered food from the Land of Birds, Rivers, and Grass and supplied it to the Land of Rain, these merchants immediately took action.

"It's no longer possible to maintain food production on the Kawanokuni side."

This is what the merchants of the Land of the Wind are talking about.

"Yes, I originally planned to contact the grain merchants in Kawanokuni to discuss how to update and iterate the grain production technology. There is still a lot of potential to be tapped, and if developed, it can make up for the vacancy of the Fire Nation to a certain extent. However, the ninjas in the country are there to predatory food and transfer rain country, resulting in a lot of desertion there...... It is difficult to supplement it in the short term. ”

"What about the country of ghosts, the country of ghosts, the country of ghosts, and the country of bears?"

"It's very underdeveloped, and the overly dense jungles of the Bear Country, and the poisonous Hell Valley blocking trade routes, isn't a good choice."

"So it's hard to make up for the vacancy of the Fire Nation's delisting."

"The land of tea across the sea?"

"It's a mountainous place, but it's rich in tea, and there's a lot of fishery. It is not a suitable country for grain production. ”

"So, in the future, we really can't make up for the vacancy of the Fire Country's withdrawal from the grain market?"

"At least for a short time, maybe when the international situation eases, we will be able to get food from the Fire Nation again?"

"But when will the international situation ease?"

"It depends on when Konoha gets the Land of Rain."

"But the country of rain is a hard bone, and there is the support of the other four major powers behind it, and it may not be easy for Konoha to do it."

"Therefore, the withdrawal of the Fire Country's grain from the Western Grain Market will be a long-term problem."

“……”

"Where are you going?"

"Of course it's to buy food!"

"I'll go too."

A group of merchants hurried up.

Soon, a word spread in the market of the Land of Wind, because the Sand Hidden Village and the Iwain Village were in the country of Sichuan, the country of grass, and the country of birds plundered the country of grain and transported rain, which led to the future withdrawal of the country of fire from the grain market in the west country, and it was difficult to make up for the vacancy.

For a long time to come, there will be a shortage of food in the country of the wind.

This news spread quickly throughout the Wind Country, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that someone was spreading the news, which immediately led to a food panic in the entire Wind Country.

A large number of people are queuing up to buy food, and the price of food is also rising rapidly, and the rapidly rising food price has caused people to hold the food in their hands tighter, and in fact, with the blockade of the Fire Country, the Wind Country does now have a food shortage.

The commotion and panic in the market have undoubtedly further magnified this food shortage.

As a result, it is difficult for many families in the country to buy rice.

"Captain, is this really good?"

There are members of the Sand Hidden Team who escort the rice transportation convoy and ask the captain who leads the team.

The captain tapped his finger on his head.

"Didn't you receive the rice?"

“…… Roger. ”

"That's not it."

The captain of the Shayin squad said as a matter of course: "Since those domestic grain merchants spread news that insults our Shayin's reputation, then it is only natural that we ask them to make compensation." ”

Is it really an insult? Going to the country of rivers and the country of birds to plunder food, if it is a war with the country of fire, you have to do this, and you don't have such doubts.

But he didn't fight with the country of fire, but in order to support the country of rain of Nashlaozi, he went to stain his hands with blood, and he also made the domestic grain market unstable...

It was not surprising that the captain looked at his team members who were still looking depressed.

After all, you are still young, and there will always be some naïve ideas, and the more you have seen, you will know what the world is really like.

"Can't we let those hateful grain merchants stop driving up the price of grain? In this way, even if there is a shortage of food in the country, the situation will be much better, right? ”

"How to stop it?"

The captain tapped his finger on the team's head again.

"Behind those grain merchants, there are His Royal Highness the Daimyo and all the ministers."

"Yes, "

"Presumably, the ministers are all singing and drinking, what do you care so much about? You think you're the Wind Shadow, huh? ”

“……”

"Cheers!" This is in some ornate palace.

The ministers and nobles of the Land of the Wind gathered together and clinked glasses with a smile on their faces.

As the supporters behind the domestic grain merchants, of course, they also took advantage of the food panic and made a lot of money.

As for whether this will deplete the war potential at home? And to make the country unstable, they don't care so much.

Of course, there are more or less people with a clear conscience in a group.

"Isn't that unusual? There will be many people who can't buy rice and starve to death, right? ”

"We don't do it, some people do. If there are people who do this, why don't we do it? Don't think about it, the world is like this, and this is also the helplessness of life. ”

"But someone will resist, right?"

After all, when you are hungry, people are extremely hungry, and they will really resist.

"You're still too young." Another elderly nobleman said: "Even if there is any commotion, it is good to hire ninjas to suppress it, after so many years, isn't this how it has been?" ”

"yes, isn't that how you used to be? No matter how big the turmoil is, as long as you hire ninjas, you can settle it. ”

"yes...... Although people are indeed strange and pitiful, but this is the way of the world, no matter how much conscience you have, there is no way, after all, you alone can't reverse all this. ”

"Then we're all together..."

When he said this, the people around him looked at him with the eyes of a fool.

This young nobleman with a clear conscience could only reluctantly laugh dryly, drank grape and fruit wine, lowered his head a little absent-mindedly, and did not look at the cup in front of him anymore, as if singing and dancing.

Somewhere in the big city of the Oasis of the Land of Winds, there is already a commotion caused by a lack of rice.

"Grab the rice!"

A group of city dwellers shouted and ran to grab rice.

Soon there were gangsters, idlers, and scoundrels, who were armed with sticks, knives, or iron rods to chop and chop.

If these dregs of society can't be suppressed, the city's security guards will be dispatched, with sharper katanas, or even guns.

If you still can't hold it down, you will encounter a more organized 'thug'.

That is, the ninja will take action, transform into the 'mob organization', disintegrate the organizational structure of the other party, and turn it into a mess.

Then it can be easily suppressed.

On a high tower somewhere, the city's rulers, as well as the local nobles, leisurely watched the 'wonderful' scenery unfold below.

From time to time, he stretched out his finger and commented with a smile.
