When the Mist Ninjas arrived in the Country of Whirlpool, the local guards did not prevent them from entering. However, the scope of their activities was limited to the open port area, and they were not allowed to enter the interior.
Even the allies of their allies stopped the Mist Ninjas from wandering around on the grounds of "temporary closure due to road construction." Although it made the murderous fog ninjas very unhappy, they finally got off the stairs and did not have an attack on the spot.
Of course, the dense forts at the top of the city also forced them to calm down.
As the window for the Kingdom of Whirlpool to open to the outside world, it is also a symbol of the influence of the Gushan family here. A large amount of resources are tilted, making this place a must-have place for people traveling from south to north in a very short period of time. Many merchants will visit Stop here and see what opportunities there are.
The most obvious feature of emerging cities is the extremely developed service industry, especially the illegal "grey" businesses in many parts of the Ninja Continent.
The system here is incomplete and the laws are incomplete. It is inappropriate to completely copy the laws of the Land of Fire, but it cannot be without rules, so we can only delete or delete some of the laws based on past experience and implement them accordingly.
There is no time to adjust, so there are many mistakes and omissions. Businessmen with a flexible mind will naturally dig into it.
Almost everyone in the Country of Whirlpool is aware of the "special services" that are banned in most countries. Of course, they are limited to some "special zones" that are open to the outside world. Local governance still follows the original rule of man, with clans and family elders maintaining the grassroots level. In order to maintain order, Uzumaki Village is responsible for foreign war matters. The government headed by Hongye integrates resources and gradually builds the complete functions of a country.
So far, many fields are just prototypes and will take a long time to develop. But in the eyes of the Mist Ninjas, being able to build a new town in a barren land is already a great achievement. What’s more, everyone has a great time here. Compared with the poor entertainment industry of the Kingdom of Water, which was born out of the Kingdom of Fire, it is actually a step further and a more open field, and it is not at the same level of enjoyment.
The financial strength of ninjas is stronger than that of civilians. In addition, the pressure of the mission is not small. They need to relax their mentality and adjust their suppressed emotions, so they need to go to a place like this to relax.
Many stores also like to receive official ninjas from the five major ninja villages. They are rich, shameless, and follow the rules. As long as the service is good, they will be very happy to pay. In contrast, those wandering ninjas and down-and-out samurai who were like local hooligans had very bad tempers and little money in their pockets, so they were not welcomed at all.
This time, the Mist Ninjas came with a mission. Of course, they couldn't do any "fancy activities". Even if they were very excited, they had to wait until they were on vacation to sneak in and take a leisurely walk.
"Shameless."
When passing by the custom street, Terumi Mei spat with disdain as she looked at the woman who was coming and going, looking pretty and not very serious at first sight.
"What a great place."
While he was criticizing in his mind, Yuri Lin, who had gone somewhere, was covered in messy food, with a ghost mask on his head, holding a hot hand cake and eating it deliciously.
"Captain, why didn't you buy anything?"….
"Save unnecessary expenses."
"You want to save a dowry for yourself, right? I heard that several famous matchmakers have your information and spouse selection requirements..."
"Wait a minute, where did you hear this from? I told you not to reveal accurate information at will."
"Look at the conditions. I am about twenty-five years old, fair and beautiful, with long brown curly hair. I have a successful career and a generous dowry. I am interested in looking for outstanding men of the same age. I do not exclude sororities..."
Lin Yuri glanced at Terumi Mei with an expression that looked like a fool,
"The entire Kirigakure Village is so big. Anyone who meets the requirements doesn't have to guess. Anyone you know can quickly identify the target. I estimate that most of the Kirigakure Village knows that you are seeking marriage, and you are the only one who thinks it is well hidden. "
"this……"
The young woman suddenly felt bad as if she had been struck by lightning. After a moment of silence, she suddenly realized something and turned around and asked,
"Now that many people know about it, why doesn't anyone apply? Why?
Said, I also feel that I am not bad, so that no one can look down on me..."
"Are you stupid? You have an annual income of tens of millions, a net income of more than one million, a jounin level of strength, a property in a prosperous neighborhood, a villa in the countryside, and a man of the same age who spends a lot of time with you to show affection, let alone Kirigakure. , there are not many to be found in the entire Kingdom of Water, why don’t you go and grab her, and why are you waiting for others to come to your doorstep? There are so many beauties waiting to be picked from you, so how can you find the time to fall in love with you?"
"this……"
Terumi Mei's mind became even more confused.
"I think I am worthy of such a high-quality man. What's more, wouldn't it be better to have higher requirements? Anyway, I am young and can afford to wait..."
"Then just wait slowly. I wish you good luck and find a good match soon."
Lin Yuri also couldn't understand why Terumi Mei, who was still relatively young, started to worry about getting married. It was said that friends and relatives introduced her to several blind dates, and even the Fourth Mizukage and Gotachibana Yagura came forward, but the result was still unsuccessful.
It's a blind date. If they agree, they can meet up and continue to develop. If they don't agree, they can go their separate ways. It's no big deal. Coincidentally, every man who failed to date Terumi Mei quickly found the one he wanted, got married one after another, and lived happily. very happy.
As time passed, Terumi Mei became tied to some strange rumors. Any young man who is not in a good relationship always likes to find various reasons to organize social gatherings with Terumi Mei, and they are very successful.
The most important thing is that everyone is satisfied and has a bright future, except Terumi Mei.
Gradually, the young beauties who should be sought after are no longer regarded as marriage partners by the majority of men in Kirigakure Village. Instead, they are regarded as "mascots", and many want to be "happy" , it is rare to take the initiative to pursue her.
As the person involved, Terumi Mei herself didn't know it, which really made many people who cared about her anxious, but they couldn't give them explicit advice.
"Shen Shen Nao, I don't know what's wrong with me. It is said that people who have obtained the 'Seven Ninja Sword' have some kind of problem. It seems to be somewhat reasonable."
After watching Lin Yuri leave and disappear at the end of the street full of tourists, Mei Terumi sensed the location of her nearby companions and saw that no one was unusual. She couldn't help but feel relieved and headed towards a popular beauty shop. ….
At the same time, in an izakaya two blocks away, Yuhi Hong and Uazuki Yugao were sitting opposite each other having a drink.
"Sorry, I'm not good at drinking."
"You're too polite. I asked you to accompany me. I should be the one to apologize."
In this operation to support the Country of Whirlpool, the third generation of the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sent the powerful and experienced Jounin Aburame Shihui to lead the team. Most of the team members were elites of the Anbu and "Root" organizations, and a few were like Yuhi. A total of fifteen people, including Kurenai, a rising star with special talents, went to the Country of Whirlpool, which can be regarded as the largest operation in Konoha Village after the night of the Uchiha genocide.
Although Uzuki Yuugao and his lover Gekko Hayate are also classmates, they are obviously a little younger than Hatake Kakashi, Metkai, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai.
He matured early and entered school early, which was normal in that war-torn era.
Maoyue Xiyan's growth experience represents a large number of elites of her age and is quite typical. He was sent to a ninja school when he was young, graduated two or three years early, and then entered the "Root" organization for further study. He appeared in various dangerous battlefields and developed a strong strength.
Her strength is quite average and she is a typical "hexagonal warrior" with almost no shortcomings. Even so, being comprehensive does not mean that she has no specialties. In the field of medical ninjutsu, Uzuki Yugan is quite accomplished. Whether in the "Root" organization or the Anbu, she is a reliable backing that reassures her teammates.
Since falling in love with Moonlight Hayate, the two have often practiced together and accepted each other's guidance, honing their excellent Konoha style swordsmanship.
Uzuki Xiyan, who has purple hair and a dignified and beautiful face, is a rare heroine in ANBU.
However, her qualifications were still very young, and she had only joined ANBU Team 6 for a short time. It was not until Uchiha Itachi defected on the night of the genocide that she took his place.
Because the appearance has been hidden for a long time
Behind the mask, she is basically active in areas unknown to ordinary people, so the public has little impression of her, and she is far less famous than Yuhi Kurenai and Mitarai Anko.
"Is your relationship with Hayate going well?"
"It's okay. Before I left this time, I was still with him. I originally planned to go to enjoy the flowers, but I didn't make it."
"This season is not a good time for flower viewing."
"Each one has its own merits. There are also many beautiful flowers that only bloom in autumn and winter."
"Um."
Speaking of this, just to avoid being embarrassed, in this mission, only Uzuki Yugao and Yuhi Kurenai were female ninjas. It was normal for the two of them to walk in involuntarily.
"We didn't communicate much when we were in ninja school, and we had little contact after graduation. I didn't expect you and Hayate to get together..."
"We need the right opportunity. We had a good understanding before, and now we are joining ANBU together..."
"A match made in heaven."
Every step happened to be stuck at the perfect point, and God seemed to be fulfilling them. The process of falling in love had no setbacks at all, and friends watching felt that it was incredibly smooth.
In comparison, Yuhi Hong herself is far behind.
The two drank a few drinks slowly and talked. After the conversation, Uoyue Xiyan asked:….
"Miss Kurenai, this time is not just to talk about me and Hayate, right? Is there anything you need my help with..."
"Don't be so embarrassed. Actually, I have something to ask you."
The slightly drunk Yuhi Hong held her chin and responded lazily,
"Starting next year, I will learn to guide the genin team. There are some things that I have never experienced before, and I always feel a little uneasy. I heard that the instructors appointed by the Sandaime have all been in ANBU, but I have never joined." The roots and organization have never been influenced by ANBU, is there something missing?"
"You can't say that. Ninjas from ANBU do have a unique temperament, but that's not the main thing."
Maoyue Xiyan smiled and then replied,
"Metkai once knelt on the ground, hugged the Sandaime's thigh and begged to join the ANBU, but was rejected without mercy."
"Is this happening? I thought it was a made-up joke..."
"I saw it with my own eyes. Even so, the Sandaime also admires Metkai, but with his nature, he is really not suitable for working in ANBU."
The ANBU takes orders directly from the Hokage and is an exclusive guard, each one a carefully selected elite.
"Judging from the reaction of everyone around me, it seems that the village values me very much, but I always feel a little unsure. I have never received any signs from the ANBU, and my promotion mission is far away, and my companions have become jounin one by one. Jonin, I'm still exploring the way forward, waiting for the opportunity that I don't know when it will come..."
"I'll take the liberty to ask..."
Uoyuki Xiyan interrupted Yuhi Hong’s complaint that seemed to be a monologue,
"What are you so anxious about? Is there any reason why you have to be promoted? I don't think the village and the Sandaime are so unfair that they can't see the strength and efforts of their subordinates..."
"In other words, I still have some shortcomings."
If the sunset is red and I have some enlightenment,
"Is it because there are bad rumors about me that make people a little worried? That's not right. Is it because I'm not strong enough?"
In the past, when Fusugi Bosui was still studying in Konoha Village, some of his peers knew that he was a child of a big family, but how "trendy" he was, young people born in Konoha Village had no idea. The so-called stigma of joining a wealthy family is unfair to Yuri Hong. What really makes some Konoha ninjas feel dissatisfied is the gap between Yuhi Kurenai who has a soft spot for Kosugi Fusui but is indifferent to Sarutobi Asuma.
The son of the current Hokage of Konoha Village was at a disadvantage in a jealous duel with the children of the Fire Country's great nobles, which is bound to irritate some people's sensitive nerves.
Regardless of the lack of performance in normal times, this idea has always existed.
After hearing this, Maoyue Xiyan shook her head:
"Sandaime, it's not that
Such a superficial person will definitely not miss serious things because of his son's love affair. From my personal point of view, maybe the higher-ups in the village feel that you are not ready yet. "
"Prepare?"
Yuhi Hong asked in confusion,
"I do not understand."
"Let's put it this way."
Maoyue Xiyan sorted out her words and said,
"Both genin and chuunin can basically pass as long as they meet the standards. The current Hokage does not even need to go through an adviser and is directly promoted. But jounin is different. It is not only a ninja level, but also a cadre of Konoha Village. There are many chunin We all understand that power is not so easy to get. You have to pay a price to be promoted and gain the praise and trust of the villagers. Some of our generation did not die in battle, but some experienced blood and fire on the battlefield. After the test, some became Jonin early. Some of them were loyal to their duties after the war and contributed a lot to the village and were promoted. Most of the rest have their own shortcomings and are stuck in progress. What do you think is wrong with you? It’s not very clear, but please don’t let personal matters hold you back…”
"I... probably understand."
Yuhi Hong's eyes were blurry, and she didn't know what she was remembering. If she had some enlightenment,
"Indeed, I am not focused enough and I am not ready to become a glorious Jonin. My family died that night when the Kyuubi attacked the village. I inherited their last wishes and dedicated my strength to the Will of Fire. ..."
Maoyue Xiyan said with relief:
"I think you are on the right path. You did not ask me about my love experience. Instead, you hesitated about the important tasks you were about to take on and reflected on your own shortcomings. You have effectively come out of the haze. Sooner or later, the Sandaime will notice your efforts. come on……"
