The land of bears, the exchange house.

Kakudu carried a box full of silver tickets, and a stack of freshly bought information in his arms, pondering as he walked.

"The situation in the ninja world has become turbulent since the death of Uzumaki Mito..."

"Shayin's terrible economy, Yunyin's ambition as always, Iwain's undisguised arms race, Wuyin's internal purge, and Hanzo in Yuyin Village don't look honest, under the accumulation of these fierce internal and external contradictions, the Konoha who is immersed in peace and abundance will be the first to be opened..."

Wandering in the black market, the extremely experienced Kakudu has already smelled the smell of war from all kinds of intelligence.

The entire ninja world is like a powder keg, either due to the hatred of defeat, or internal collapse, or external ambitions, the capable hidden village is waiting for an opportunity to set off a battlefield to reshuffle the pattern of the ninja world.

After agreeing to work as a part-time worker for Qingshui, Jiaodu wanted to work diligently, but the problem was that his boss never took the initiative to contact him, let alone assign him a job.

This makes Kakudu very uncomfortable, so he can only spontaneously kill some wandering ninjas to make money and collect some information for Qingshui, to show that he has not broken his promise, but is serious about doing things.

But what's amazing is that the more immersed Jiaodu is in working for Qingshui, the more fulfilling his heart becomes.

After betraying Takigakure, Kakuto's pursuit of money is pathological, and for a ninja who no longer has a home, the stable employment relationship between the gold exchange and the black market, and the universal exchange function of money, make him feel a sense of belonging that is still alive to fill the emptiness in his heart.

The betrayal of people's hearts is the last thing Jiaodu wants to face, and it is also the defect he is trying to make up.

And what Qing Shui said after defeating him-

"If you think this ninja world is still true, then you should take what you say..."

"Even if I regret it, I'm not afraid of you as an enemy, but I understand the falsehood of the ninja world, and it's worth it for me."

Deeply rooted in the heart of Kakuto.

Qing Shui is obviously a good boss, just like forgetting him as a worker, he seems to have a blind trust in him, and he didn't ask for money, let alone let him do some outrageous tasks, the main thing is to single-handedly stock.

To the relief of Jiaodu, Qing Shui would gladly accept his information and silver tickets, and would also reply to encourage him.

This shows that Qing Shui did not let him live because of his mercy like the Thousand Hands Pillar, but needed his value.

Kakudu sometimes thought that Qing Shui's heart might be the same as him, questioning the falsehood and truth of the bonds and promises of the ninja world, so after hearing his story, he made this bet with him.

Otherwise, why let him go?

With Qing Shui's strength and that dangerous pupil power, Jiao Du would never think that Qing Shui was a simple little ghost!

The only explanation is that Qing Shui has a similar heart knot with him, and after listening to his story, his heart was touched...

In this state of mind, the harder Kakudu worked, the more fulfilled his heart became, and he regained the simple happiness he had when he was a young man fighting for Takikuin Village, and he didn't even feel much when he saw money.

Now, Kakuto looks at things a bit like a Konoha ninja, and he thinks about how Konoha should survive this difficult time if he deals with the combined siege of the four hidden villages.

The most important thing is how to help his boss earn enough military merit in this battlefield...

"Hello, you're the horn, right?" A friendly greeting interrupted Kakuto's train of thought.

Wearing a comfortable black tracksuit, carrying a backpack that Kakashi used when he went to school, a short knife hanging from his waist, and an excited smile on his face:

"I've found you, your whereabouts are really secret!"

Jiaodu saw Qimu Shuomao's appearance, and his pupils shrank suddenly-who is this?

The reputation and appearance of Qimu Shuomao are all known, and in the bounty list of the gold exchange house, Qimu Shuomao's ranking is also extremely high.

But the flag in Jiaodu's memory, Shuomao, is a man as sharp as a knife.

According to the black market's intelligence, when Hachiki Sakushige appeared outside Konoha Village, the murderous aura on his body would make people feel pain in their skin.

But Qimu Shuomao, who was standing in front of Kakuto, was dressed like a rich fool who came out to play, not like a ronin or a ninja in sportswear, like a schoolbag carried by a child, and a short knife hung around his waist.

Is this man crazy?

What Kakura didn't know was that this was the unique aesthetic of the Qimu family.

After the end of the Fourth Shinobi War, Kakashi and Maitkai were traveling in the ninja world, and it was this outfit.

Qimu Shuomao, who committed suicide once, threw down a lot of heavy baggage in his heart, and put on this outfit that he thought was the most comfortable to welcome his new life.

Kakudu forcibly suppressed the confusion in his heart, even if he fought with Hachiki Shuomao, he was not sure of victory in his heart.

"What, is Konoha's white fang eyeing me, a bounty hunter?"

The corner of the capital simply threw the cash box on the ground and rolled up his sleeves: "It seems that you have been tracking me for a long time..."

Qimu Shuomao waved his hand: "It's not tracking, Brother Jiaodu, I'm here to be your companion." ”

Jiaodu narrowed his eyes, he knew the information that Qimu Shuomao was framed, and the news was still given to Qing Shui.

Is this a renegade who became Konoha?

A hint of inexplicable feeling flashed in Kakudu's heart, the story of Qimu Shuomao is actually very similar to him back then...

All were betrayed by the upper echelons of the village.

"Here's for you..."

Hachiki Shuo Shigeru looked at Kakuno's distrustful look, shook his head, took out a note from his backpack, and threw it to Kakuto.

Horn carefully hardened his hands with an earthen spear and took it.

This is a letter of appointment written by Qing Shui, and the appointing horn is the Minister of Finance of the Roots, and it also explains a series of circumstances of Qimu Shuo Shige.

Jiaodu looked at the content of the note in a daze, and was a little unresponsive for a while.

More than a year ago, when Qingshui and Kakudo met, they were still an ordinary shinobi, and they were still under the leadership of Tsunade.

How did this turn into the leader of the roots?

He even gave him, a bounty hunter, a formation and turned him into one of the leaders of the roots.

Qimu Shuomao walked over slowly, and stuffed a bunch of scrolls into the corner: "This is all entrusted to you by Qingshui, take a look..."

Jiaodu furrowed his brows, but looking at the font that belonged to Qingshui and the familiar tone, although he was still wary of Qimu Shuomao in his heart, he still let him approach and take the scroll.

Kakudu watched as his gaze gradually glazed over.

Among the scrolls, first of all, there are all kinds of Five Elements Escape Techniques, from the Uchiha Clan's Fire Escape to the Water Escape between the Thousand Hands, as well as all kinds of practical and unpopular Earth Escape, Wind Escape, and Thunder Escape Ninjutsu, which is like a small forbidden art book.

These were called by Qing Shui as a reward for his serious work, and in the tone of the boss, he advised him to study hard, recharge himself, and don't always use his head back and forth to work hard, suppress, and pseudo-dark, which will damage the future image of Konoha roots.

After that, it was the property status of the original roots, and Qingshui indicated that since he was the Minister of Finance, in the future, the financial management, investment and fund management of the roots would be handed over to the corner, and there was no need to ask him, just look at it yourself, but pay attention to the timely allocation of funds to the orphanage.

In the end, Qing Shui talked about the experience of Hachiki Shuo Shige, hoping that the corner could talk to Hachiki Shuo Shigeru in the attitude of a past person and a senior, and the two of them could become a good partner, and wrote a formal root compilation entry letter at the end of the scroll, which was signed by Uchiha Qing Shui's handwritten signature.

"That's probably it, Kakuto-senpai."

Qimu Shuomao chuckled: "It's still quite strange to say, I am always called a senior in Konoha on weekdays, but with your age, I'm afraid that even the ape flying sun slash will shout a senior..."

Hagi Sakumo handed a Konoha forehead guard to Kakuto and motioned for him to accept it.

The horns were holding these scrolls, and the feeling in their hearts was difficult to express in words.

The retreat techniques that Qing Shui gave him were far from being comparable to the silver tickets he mailed to Qing Shui before.

Kakudu can see at a glance that many of the explanations of the skills, nature, and morphological changes of the Five Elements Escape Technique are priceless treasures, even among the ninja clan, which can be used as classics at the bottom of the box...

"What, don't you agree? Kakuto Senpai..."

"Boy, don't look at me with that dangerous eye, I'm one of the founders of New Roots!"

Kakudu was keenly aware of Qimu Shuomao's gradually threatening eyes, unceremoniously took Konoha forehead guard, and said coldly: "Come with me, now take you to complete the first task." ”

Qimu Shuomao shrugged his shoulders, this guy joined the state really quickly: "What task..."

"Take you to a heart-to-heart talk..."

Jiaodu patted Qimu Shuomao's shoulder, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his words: "Qingshui probably told you, right?" I was once assassinated by the higher-ups and even asked me to assassinate the first Hokage..."

Qimu Shuomao nodded silently and laughed in his heart.

At that time, he also complained to Qing Shui, compared to Qimu Shuomao himself, the experience of Jiaodu was more tragic and helpless.

Shimura Tuanzang's methods are somewhat hidden, and the high-level of Takikuin Village almost killed Kakuto by stabbing himself in the back.

Kakuto and Hagi Shuo walked side by side.

At this moment, the first meeting of the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Intelligence of the Root Department was finally completed...

Two men who didn't talk much, although they came from completely different backgrounds, but unexpectedly had similar experiences, the two chatted and opened the conversation, and even bought some wine and food, and chatted while eating.

"Brother Shuomao, let me tell you, let's work hard at the roots, this place is good!"

Jiaodu happily took a sip of wine, chewed raw beef liver, and said with a wave of his big hand: "You believe me, you can't be wrong, I have seen people in the ninja world who eat more salt than you, green water, it will be the future of Konoha!" ”

Qimu Shuomao and Jiao both clinked glasses, and their faces turned a little red.

After hearing about Kakuto's treatment of Takiyin Village, Hachiki Shuomao was full of admiration for him.

Compared with him who committed suicide, the horns were so strong that they slaughtered all the high-level people in Taki, and they also robbed the village of the secret trick to resent.

Of course, there are objective reasons for Taki's weakness, but Kiki Shuomao didn't even think about resisting.

In contrast to Kakuto, Hagi seems to have learned a lot.

"I know, brother, if it weren't for Qingshui, my life would have been gone..."

Qimu Shuomao and Jiao both clinked glasses, and the two people who were still testing each other before, after chatting about their own experiences and Qingshui, quickly warmed up, and began to call each other as elder brother and elder brother.

And at the time of the happy dinner of Kakudu and Qimu Shuomao.

Konoha, the Hokage Building, and the Ape Flying Sun Slash are sad.

"The other hidden villages have once again sent out denunciations, and the daimyo is also urging the village to respond..."

Sarutobi sighed: "It's difficult, Tsunade, what do you think?" ”

Tsunade frowned, if it weren't for Sarutobi Hichi's repeated insistence that Shimura Danzou would not be released from prison and for the sake of Aosui's future, she would definitely refuse this Hokage's assistance.

In Tsunade's opinion, the position of the Hokage's assistant is meaningless, just the Hokage's mouthpiece.

The good words are all said by the Hokage, and the Hokage assists the ones that are not good...

"Old man, things like war don't change because of your attitude..."

Tsunade shook his head: "If the other hidden villages decide to invade Konoha, no matter how the village declares, it won't change the greed in their hearts. ”

Ape Fei Ri sighed.

Why didn't he know?

But the problem is that if he responds with an attitude that he does not want to start a war, then even if he loses the war, his responsibility will be correspondingly smaller, after all, even if he does not add fuel to the fire, he still wants to negotiate peace.

But if you respond with a tough attitude, then the Hokage who defeated him will have to bear all the responsibility.

Even if a thousand hands told him this truth...

But the eight tailed beasts added up by the rest of the hidden villages, as well as the gap caused by the arms race and Konoha in the past twenty years, all made Ape Feiri shocked.

Yunyin's human pillar power technology and the number of ninjas in Iwakuin Village are already far ahead of Konoha.

And the already poor barefoot in Shayin Village is not afraid of wearing shoes, and the internal strife in the fog needs an external war as a pressure relief valve, and Konoha will definitely face a fierce enemy.

It seems that in the seemingly peaceful twenty years, only Konoha is standing still, and the rest of the hidden villages are gritting their teeth and secretly fighting...

Zhuan Koharu and Mito Menyan glanced at each other, and slowly spoke:

"Hitosa, why don't you reactivate the Shimura group... Tsunade's qualifications were still too shallow to cope with the war. ”

Regarding the fact that the root leader has changed to green water, Sarutobi Hichislash still notified the high-level leaders of each Konoha team, which also made Koharu and Mito Menyan very dissatisfied.

In their opinion, if Sarutobi can clean up the Hokage's assistant like this, wouldn't it be easier to get rid of these two Konoha advisors?

It makes them feel very insecure.

Shimura Danzou stepped down several times, and the dissolution of the roots was also rebuilt in the original plane with the support of the two of them.

Tsunade snorted coldly, his eyes looking at them dangerously.

Just as he was about to speak, Ape Fei Ri changed his hesitant attitude and said very seriously:

"Yan, Xiaochun, don't mention the name Tuanzang at the high-level meeting, and his matter will no longer be overturned."

Koharu and Mito Menyan looked shocked, they hadn't seen such a decisive look on Sarutobi's face for a long time...

Tsunade unexpectedly glanced at Sarutobi Hi, but he didn't expect the teacher who was becoming more and more hesitant to still have something decisive...

What she didn't know was that even if she was reluctant to take the initiative to take the blame for Shimura Danzo, she wouldn't dare to disobey the order of the Thousand Hands...

"Leave this matter to Qingshui and Tsunade."

Ape Fei Ri slowly exhaled a long breath: "Tsunade, you are now the Hokage's assistant, and Qing Shui is the leader of the roots, so you master and apprentice will represent the attitude of the village and respond to the other four hidden villages." ”

"Old man, you're the Hokage!"

Tsunade said dissatisfiedly: "I don't agree with the matter of you letting Qing Shui serve as the leader of the roots, he is still just a subornate of Konoha, are you going to let him carry the darkness of the village?" ”

"I can understand that you are optimistic about Qingshui, but the speed of this improvement is still too fast!"

Ape Feiri smiled bitterly, Qingshui is certainly not suitable for carrying the darkness of the village.

However, the deepest darkness in Konoha has ever been in his body, and he needs the environment of the roots to eat away at the green water.

What can the ape do with the sun?

He was just a poor third-generation Hokage, and he had no ability to resist in the face of the second-generation Hokage.

"Tsunade, I'm already old, and the times are going to be handed over to young people..."

Ape Fei Ri sighed: "Just do it, I believe you and Qing Shui." ”

But in the heart of Ape Feiri, it was extremely relaxed.

If it was Qingshui's decision, then it could be seen in disguise as the teacher's doing...

If something goes wrong in the future, it won't have much to do with him.

After being severely reprimanded by Thousand Hands, Sarutobi only felt that the familiar position of the Hokage under his ass had become extremely strange and dangerous.

If it weren't for the fact that Qing Shui was too young and not senior, Sarutobi wanted Qing Shui to be the Hokage's assistant, and he, the Hokage, would be a final transition and quietly wait for the resurrection of the Kazuma teacher.

"If that's what you think, then I promise you, old man..."

Tsunade nodded slowly, got up and went to Qingshui's house, and discussed it together.

Following.

The four hidden villages and the Yuyin Village, which jointly condemned them, received the response written by Qing Shui.

[Konoha informs the whole ninja world:]

Kazekage, Qimu Shuomao has not gone on a mission, the conflict that broke out in your department has nothing to do with Konoha, we think that instead of touching porcelain Konoha, it is better to let your apprentice work hard to cultivate Magnetic Escape, and strive to collect more gold to feed the whole village.

I heard that the daimyo doesn't allocate funds to the sand and the hide? But no matter how poor you are, you can't bite people indiscriminately.

Tsuchikage, if you feel that the number of Iwakushi ninjas is too large and a burden on the economy, and you want to reduce the population through war, you can use the four tails and five tails of your own house to clear them, don't bother Konoha, of course, we can also help.

Thunder Shadow, I really like your face after mastering the human pillar power technique, but Konoha has countless secret techniques for dealing with tailed beasts, and we welcome barbarians who can only use ninjutsu to experience it, which is a secret technique that your simple brain cannot develop.

Mizukage, Konoha welcomes all ninjas who are dissatisfied with the village to live in the Land of Fire, and we will treat every ninja who wants to join Konoha with sincerity.

Hanzo, what are you, and you deserve to blame Konoha too?

Get lost!

When this response was sent, the entire ninja world was boiling!

Konoha's toughness is beyond everyone's imagination...

Tsunade found Qingshui in a dazed mood:

"Qingshui, didn't we say that day, although we should be tough, we still have to avoid war as much as possible?"

Qing Shui nodded solemnly: "Tsunade-sensei, my wording is already very tactful..."

"Don't you think so?"

Qing Shui stared at his good-looking eyes and asked a little innocently.

One more is complete!

Second, the bigger guy, don't wait

Today is very cardinal, from 3:20 p.m. to now only 5,000 words

Xiao Fan may have to go through the outline

If I don't have a second update, I'll find a time to make up for it next week!
