With the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki Han being captured and successfully sealed, even if the "Akatsuki" organization's actions have not yet been fully launched, the corresponding preparations have entered the sprint stage.
In the past, the gangsters looked down upon these ordinary bandits who didn't offer much in return, but now they were in urgent need of money and couldn't care so much.
The reason is that the Furusugi family, which has a near-monopoly on most of the ninja tool wholesale and raw material supply chains in the Fire Country, has driven up the price of ninja tools, including detonating charms, so high in recent years that even the wealthy Konoha In the past, ninja schools could still use real kunai, but now most of them use wooden kunai to deal with them.
The "Akatsuki" organization that aggressively purchased detonating symbols was naturally not immune. The originally mediocre prices suddenly skyrocketed, surprising the entire ninja world.
There are rumors that the special ink fuel operating area under the control of the Gushan family has significantly reduced production. The reason given is that the abnormal climate has affected the growth of related crops, and there is a shortage of raw materials, which has forced prices to increase significantly.
Similar situations have happened several times in the ninja world before, but never like this.
For several consecutive years, there have been either droughts or heavy rains, and I didn't even bother to install it. I simply said that it was improperly stored and the materials deteriorated and rotted and could not be used.
When Gushan Bushui dared to do this, he was sure that the ninja world would not be able to unite and put pressure on the Gushan family.
If any family suddenly rebels, Gushan Bu Shui directly supplies a large amount of ninja tools at a low price to replenish its arsenal. Other ninja villages are short of food and clothing, and lack everything they need. If there is a fight, wouldn't it be a big loss?
Once upon a time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also asked what Kosugi Bosui wanted, and the answer was actually not complicated at all.
"Significantly increasing the cost of war will at least slow down the recovery of major ninja villages, minimizing the risk of a ninja war breaking out in recent years."
Armed with a sharp blade, the murderous intention arises.
If you have a knife in your hand, you will naturally want to test whether it is sharp or not!
If it were the other way around, it would definitely be much more honest.
Time is the most precious thing to the Fire Nation and the Leaf Village.
It is large in size, has a prosperous economy, and has a large population. Its recovery speed is much faster than other Ninja villages in the same period of time.
This was actually a disguised form of protection for the Leaf Village, preventing them from easily getting involved in a situation that might break out into a war.
The wily Sarutobi Hiruzen appreciated Gusugi Fusui's answer very much and returned home satisfied.
Konoha Village, which has suffered successive blows, needs a few years of stability to make up for the losses caused by the successive Nine-Tails attacks on the village and the Uchiha genocide.
I already owe a lot of debt and I really can't afford to deal with it. It would be better if everyone stays in peace.
The biggest sufferer did not move, and the others did not dare to explode.
"Isn't this world unfair? We work so hard and work hard, but the money we make is not as much as those big nobles just talking..."
"Shut up, Hidan, if you say a few more words, I'll kill you."
Mentioning these, Kakuzu was also angry and jealous, he wanted to play big, but he was afraid of being treated as the first bird like Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion.
The leader worked hard to go to the Kingdom of Earth and rescued Deidara. It was hard to say whether he had that luck.
"Kunai, a ninja tool that can be used multiple times, forget about the price increase. Use it sparingly and remember to recycle it afterwards. After polishing it, you can continue to use it. The price of detonating charms and military food pills has also increased so exaggeratedly. Who can afford it? Can you afford it?"
"You don't need life-saving things, others use them..."
Hidan laughed a few times,
"Anyway, I have the Bloody March Scythe and the Black Spear, so I don't need anything else."
"The last time I read the Post news, the weather this year has been good, crops are growing well, and several large mineral veins have been discovered on uninhabited overseas islands. At the latest, early next year, the price of ninja tools will drop and gradually return to normal..."
"Do you think that's true?"
"Who knows, why don't you go and have a look?"
"forget it!"
Hidan lazily dropped the bloody March Scythe on his shoulder, found a relatively clean rock, sat down, and said impatiently,
"Hey, Kakuzu, we are running around every day just for a few stinky money. When will the teachings of Lord Evil God be carried forward?"
There was no answer. Hidan had already had this discussion countless times and his brain was damaged. Even Kakuzu couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"There are other members in the organization. Why do we have to work so hard to make money? It's been so long and so much has been turned in, but it's not enough? I don't know what the leader is preparing to actually want so much money..."
Is this a question that a working man should ask?
Although Kakuzu didn't know it, hunting down valuable heads and sending them to the underground bounty house to collect rewards was a pleasure in itself. As for what the money was used for, he didn't really care.
"Let's go find the next team!"
For ordinary people, banditry is definitely not a good thing. Business routes are cut off and everyone's livelihood is affected. But for strong men like Kakuzu and Hidan, the so-called vicious pirates have two legs and can move around. Just a wallet.
"It's pointless to do this honestly. Let's go get a big one. The capital of the Bear Country is very close. There is also a Star Ninja Village that is very prosperous recently. If you grab one, it will be worth several bounties. "
"After collecting all these scattered 'little money', we can consider other things."
"Then...okay!"
After searching around for a while and resting for a while, the "Immortal Duo", riding on the waves, set out again.
What they didn't notice was that several figures swimming under the blue sea noticed their appearance and actions. After finding out their location, they quickly passed on the information.
In less than a day, Gushan Bushui, thousands of miles away, knew about this situation.
"Kakuzu and Hidan?"
After discussing with Uncle Haruki how to control the speed of funds being withdrawn from Konoha Village in order to cooperate with the "Konoha Collapse Plan" two years later, so as to maximize the interests of the Fusagi family, he was ready to leave temporarily and return. Gushan Bushui, who was in charge of the overall situation on Yuqi Island, couldn't help but frown slightly when he looked at the information in his hand.
In principle, these two people will not do anything other than making money and taking orders from the leader, but there is no guarantee.
Immortality is too troublesome, and just the two of them can turn the Bear Country upside down.
Looking at the cards in his hand, except for Kaguya Kimimaro who is going all out and can fight them for 300 rounds, he is the only one who has a greater chance of winning.
It's not worthwhile to fight them head-on with human life. Since it's not easy to take action personally, let's let the "chess pieces" that haven't been used for a long time enter the game.
As for Baiyun Yeshan's team of Bai, Yayoi and Konishi, it would take at least a week to arrive at the current speed.
…
In Kirigakure Village, because of his private actions and suspicion of defection, Lin Eoyu Yuri was imprisoned by the fourth generation of Mizukage when his mental state became worse and worse and he became more and more crazy.
Although his condition became more and more serious, it never deteriorated to the point of endangering his life. On the other hand, another genius, Gui Deng Man Yue, who was more famous and more powerful, his condition worsened rapidly and he died of the disease before Lin Yuri.
Before he became famous in the ninja world, the so-called genius died young, and all future stories were naturally discontinued.
After Yuri Lin learned about the news that Gui Deng Man Yue had died of illness earlier, he laughed loudly for a long time, causing the jailer in charge to tremble with fright. He thought that this so-called genius female ninja who was short in stature and seemed to be stunted had completely lost consciousness and was preparing to During the killing spree, Lin Yuri woke up and sat down cross-legged quietly, seemingly listening.
After a long time, I couldn't help but mutter to myself.
"A powerful enemy, not inferior to Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion? Interesting!"
A few hundred meters away, the Fourth Mizukage, Gouju Shikang looked at the information in his hand with some annoyance.
"The eyeliner that I finally developed was ruined before it was put to use? What's going on..."
The Kiri Ninja had no friendship with the Gushan family, and their limited interactions were limited to clear money and goods transactions.
The Kingdom of Water is still too far away from the mainland, and by the time the latest changes in the ninja world reach Kirigakure Village, it will be long out of date.
Even eating shit can't keep up with the heat, which is an embarrassing portrayal of the fog ninjas.
Nowadays, the coastal countries, including the Country of Whirlpool, the Country of Waves, the Country of Tea, the Country of Bears, the Country of Sichuan, etc., are within the sphere of influence of the Furusugi family. Even the Country of the Sea, which was originally in the hands of the Mist Ninja, was rescued by Orochimaru in order to save the country. Terumi Mei, who was injured by the curse seal, also sold half to half to the Furusugi family.
Nowadays, Kirigakure Village has lost almost all its strongholds on the ninja continent, is completely isolated from the outer sea, and cannot keep up with the rhythm.
For this reason, Gouji Shicang also arranged for some people to infiltrate some wandering ninja gangs, and even half-business and half-bandit merchants, just to get involved with the Xing Ninja Village, which pursues an open policy and is eclectic, and indirectly to the ancient Ninja Village. The Sugi family got on the line.
As a result, two bounty hunters now appeared and swept the southern seas, destroying many arrangements of Kirigakure Village.
"It's a bad year!"
First, Gui Deng died of illness in the full moon, then the diplomatic strategy progressed slowly, and now even the idle chess pieces he had laid out were almost eaten up, which was really unacceptable for Gouju to lose his position.
"Two S-class traitors?"
Wolfberry lost its position and thought about countermeasures.
The curse seal in Terumi Mei's body has almost stabilized, but to be on the safe side, it is better not to be sent out casually.
In this case, there are not many masters who can dispatch immediately, and even if they die at the hands of powerful enemies, they will not be able to affect their fundamentals.
After making up his mind, Gouji lost his position and uncovered information about the crazy Yuri Lin and the rebellious Zabuza Momochi.
After thinking about it for a moment, I seemed to feel that two people were not enough, so I added the fiery-tempered but reliable Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost and the loyal Gansaki Ghost.
"Four people, that should be enough."
Shortly after the order was issued, Lin Yuri, who was released, embarked on the road to the southwest sea with three other fog ninjas.
Seeing that a deliberately led small-scale conflict in the south was about to take place, thousands of miles away in the country of Tian in the north, the brand-new Fuma Arashi and the other four companions of the five sound ninjas looked condescendingly at the three rising stars in the arena. Fight.
"That Toss Anvil is a bit interesting. The other two are very impressive and have very ordinary abilities. How dare you challenge us?"
After Sakon glanced at Fuma Arashi who said nothing, he said slightly mockingly,
"Are we wasting our time here just to watch the noobs pecking each other?"
In the past, Sakon would still compete with Fuma Arashi for the position of leader of the five sound-nin people, but now, he doesn't dare to think so.
Not long ago, Fuma Arashi used his own secret technique to fight Kaguya Kimimaro head-on. After still not winning, he returned from serious injuries and failed to suppress the explosion of the curse seal and forcibly activated the second state.
However, the movement was so unusual that even Lord Orochimaru became interested.
Feng Molan, who could suppress the other four people with only one curse seal state, took much longer than the others to wake up.
In fact, he pretended to be dead for so long that everyone thought he had not survived and was already dead, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
After waking up, Feng Molan did not quickly return to his peak as everyone expected. Instead, he experienced a period of weakness, then slowly recovered, steadily and quickly, and then quickly surpassed the previous peak.
Now, if Feng Molan doesn't activate the curse seal, and the other four people use the curse seal state, they can't do anything to him.
Everyone is even speculating whether the current Fuuma Lan is stronger than Guren, the number one master under Orochimaru.
Everyone has already seen the powerful combat power of Jingdun Xue Jianjing. The terrifying power and overwhelming sense of oppression are indeed unmatched in terms of power.
Of course, just because the Blood Succession Limit is strong, it doesn't mean that Guren really has no weaknesses.
After experiencing the battle with Kaguya Kimimaro and others, the five sound ninjas also realized that although Orochimaru was an outstanding being, the outside world was so big that there were still more powerful "monsters" .
For example, the Feng Molan in front of him, the other four people were more or less competitive before, but now, they are probably almost convinced.
Regarding Sakon's words, Fuumalan did not answer directly, but said calmly:
"It doesn't matter whether there is a threat or not. Anyway, they are doing things for Lord Orochimaru. Just be respectful and do your best. What I am more curious about is, although they are very immature, their strength and physical fitness are also up to standard. Why haven't they been given the curse? print?"
Only after Feng Molan reminded others did they realize the problem.
Tayuya echoed in confusion:
"In the past, a few strong men could come out of each batch and be imprinted with curses. Although most of them did not survive, none of the survivors could survive the second awakening..."
But, what's going on now?
Sound Ninja Village no longer needs more "cursed seal warriors"?
Or is it that, with better options available, these lucky ones who emerged from the rounds of fighting are no longer useful?
