"Let the shadow guards of Hidden Mist Village not act rashly, just play their role and wait for the news."
After a pause, Menma added: "Remind those in the Land of Waves to pay attention to Zabuza's movements, and you can win over him if necessary."
It is always better to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake.
I believe Zabuza needs the support of a big force now.
"yes."
After Uchiha Shisui left, Menma held his chin in his hands and fell into thinking.
If he had not intervened, according to the original plot development, Terumi Mei, who has the limit of double blood succession, would sit on the position of the Fifth Mizukage with the support of Genshi, Ao and others.
Regardless of her strength or background, she is the best choice.
However, when they free up their hands, the Shadow Guard will be discovered sooner or later, and in this case, the source of intelligence in Kirigakure Village will be completely cut off.
Even if they would leave the closed state by then, the Robin Group would not have time to enter the markets of Water Country and Kirigakure Village.
What's more, there is a lot of "protection money" given to the Daimyos of the Land of Water.
If it weren't for the purpose of laying chess pieces inside Kirigakure Village and obtaining more information, Menma would not want to have anything to do with those corrupt nobles.
Reduce the finances of Ninja Village, ignore the poor and weak civilians, and keep the wealth for your own enjoyment.
If anyone tries to break this deadlock, most of the higher-ups will be implicated, and the first to be resolved will be the daimyo and nobles.
This situation will never change after Terumi Mei, who comes from the Bloodstained Family, ascends to the position of Mizukage.
unless……
"Change a guy who has no taboos and ignores the rules to become the Fifth Mizukage."
Just like when Menma chose to ignore Asuma Sarutobi and let him wander around the Land of Snow.
"Seeds" also exist in this world.
All it takes is a little spark to ignite the fire in their hearts.
Only these flames appearing from all directions can form a prairie fire across the entire world.
"How will their fire burn in the darkness?"
Warmth the tired? To guide the blind? Sheltering the homeless?
Really looking forward to it.
Menma chuckled lightly and picked up the scroll that Mushi had brought back from the Kingdom of Demons.
However, after opening the scroll, Menma felt something familiar, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Natural energy?
No, it should be the more stable senjutsu chakra.
Moreover, it definitely does not belong to the fairy art system of the three holy places. It is some kind of fairy art that is full of "brightness" and "purity".
"Sure enough, the witch from the Kingdom of Ghosts really has the inheritance of fairy magic. So, has she predicted my future?"
At this moment, as if sensing something, Menma couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, and the light flickered.
In addition, there seems to be something else mixed in here?
An unprecedented malice turned into a strange purple thick fog, rising from the scroll.
It's like a ghostly spirit, forming a vague ghostly face.
"Hi! Roar!
"
Menma vaguely heard the roar like a monster.
The voice was full of evil, resentment, and anger...
The longer you stare at the purple mist, the weird roaring in your ears becomes more obvious.
The office, which was originally at a comfortable temperature, has become a bit chillier.
Menma frowned in disgust.
There was an evil thought in my heart that wanted to kill and destroy.
It was obvious that this purple mist was affecting his will and inducing evil thoughts and malice in his heart.
However, this was not enough for Menma to control his mind.
"Are they monsters from the land of ghosts?"
Menma closed the scroll and murmured in a low voice: "It seems...it is a more powerful and weirder existence than Satori, the Box of Bliss, and Zero Tail, Nothingness."
Menma had already heard about the monsters "sprites" in the Kingdom of Demons. In the past, he had also collected some information from the ancient books of the Uzumaki clan and the Uchiha clan.
The existence of monsters has existed since ancient times.
It is said that in the era when the Sage of Six Paths passed down the ninja sect, ninjas were not yet the mainstream. At that time, the ninja world fell into a chaos of demons dancing, and countless monsters were born. They fed on human flesh and blood and had cruel personalities, which brought great influence to the human kingdom at that time. It caused terrible damage.
But for monsters and monsters, there is only intermittent information, and many things cannot be verified.
All that is known is that the sprite possesses immortality similar to that of the tailed beast, and can only be sealed with the power of the miko.
He once controlled an army of stone statues similar to the terracotta warriors and horses, and invaded and killed various countries in the ninja world, and also caused extremely bad effects.
It is precisely because monsters can only be restrained by the power of witches that it is very difficult for ordinary ninjas.
And the purple mist that Menma felt must be part of the monster sprite.
Unlike tailed beasts, which are pure chakra creations, they are a collection of evil thoughts similar to the "Box of Bliss Enlightenment". They are a special species born from human negative emotions and chakra.
"However, this evil thought feels too pure, right?"
Human emotions are very complex things.
However, compared with "Enlightenment" and "Zero-Tail", "Monster" seems too pure.
It's almost like...
"The evil that is completely cut out of a person."
Menma touched his chin and said with interest: "Hey, I really want to put it on the test bench and see its internal structure."
It just so happens that I don't have much going on recently, so I have time to go to the Ghost Country to chat with the miko and move my body.
………………
At the same time, in a hidden open space.
There were more than thirty people standing in front of Yin Wenren, most of them were businessmen, and a small number were down-and-out nobles.
"Yin Wenren, we came to you under the sun because you said there was a way to make money, not just to stand here with you." A businessman mocked impatiently.
The others also followed suit.
"Ahem! Quiet!
"
Yin Wenren cleared his throat and took a step forward to face the crowd.
Under the confused and indifferent gazes of everyone, Yin Wenren arranged the silk robe he bought with all his savings.
He made a gesture like a successful person, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, are you confused now and want to know why I asked everyone to come here?"
Everyone looked at each other in silence and did not respond.
"I know you're confused and I can tell you right now."
Yin Wenren didn't care, and said to himself: "Because I am just like you, I have nothing but money, and we are all the same kind who can be bullied by those nobles at will!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone showed expressions of astonishment, which soon turned into expressions of shame and annoyance.
Yes, everyone present has been bullied by nobles.
[The first step is to establish emotional resonance]
"It's like we are showing off our power in front of the poor common people. In the eyes of those nobles, there is no difference between us and the common people." Yin Wenren said with an extremely contemptuous expression, "And this is exactly why I came to you. "
Everyone was suddenly in an uproar.
"Quiet! Listen carefully!"
Yin Wenren shouted loudly: "I have an opportunity here. Not only can I make more money, but I can also trample those nobles under my feet!"
"If you don't believe me, then please leave!"
After Yin Wenren said these words.
A dozen of the thirty people turned around and left, cursing.
At this time, the remaining number was eighteen, all small businessmen and down-and-out nobles, with the lucky idea of giving it a try.
[The second step is to eliminate cautious people]
Looking around at everyone, Yin Wenren nodded with satisfaction, "No matter why you choose to stay, I would like to congratulate you in advance for making the right choice."
"You must be unwilling to bow down to those nobles."
Looking at the different faces of the people in front of him, Yin Wenren clenched his fists hard, and then shouted loudly, "Do you really want to be bullied?"
Stimulated by Yin Wenren's excited manner and extremely contagious words, a small number of people subconsciously said, "I don't want to..."
Yin Wenren showed a look of disdain and looked at everyone and continued to raise his voice, "Don't you want to have the status and power of a noble?!"
"think!"
"I can't hear what you're saying?"
"Tell me, do you want to have power and status?"
"think!
"
Hoarse shouts echoed around.
Yin Wenren took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Here today, I want to introduce to you a brand-new business operation project!"
】
"And this project can change your life!"
With that said, Yin Wenren took out a scroll.
Peng!
As a burst of white smoke exploded, dozens of pots of irises were revealed.
This impact made everyone's breathing stop for an instant.
[Step three, start throwing chips]
"Good, it seems you all know what this is."
Yin Wenren grinned: "Then, let me explain the content of this project to you in detail."
"Participants adopt a five-level and three-promotion system. As the name suggests, there are five levels and three promotion stages..."
After a long time, he told the devil formula that Oya Chengen taught him: "In other words, as long as each of you can find three downlines, you can make back your money, as long as you can find ten downlines, you can make money, as long as you can Continue to become a fourth-level member, and your wealth will be comparable to those of the nobles!"
To be able to become a businessman or noble, you must have basic mathematical knowledge.
After listening to Yin Wenren's formula, it is natural to see that it is definitely not a lie. If it is true, making money will be easy.
Those who already had a bright mind guessed what was going on, and their faces revealed a look of greed that could not be concealed.
"hiss!"
A businessman who had a good relationship with Yin Wenren stepped forward, put his arm around Yin Wenren's shoulders and asked, "Do you plan to sell these iris flowers to us as commodities?!"
Yin Wenren pushed him away with a look of disgust on his face: "Don't try to get close to me. One code is the same code. Even if we have a good relationship, the rules cannot be changed!"
He turned to look at everyone again and said loudly: "I was fortunate enough to meet the guidance of a noble person and be able to participate in this project. I believe this is an opportunity that can change me and you!"
"This time, we are selling iris flowers!"
"If you want to become a first-level member, buy a pot first. If you want to develop a few downlines, you can think about it yourself!"
After Kang said passionately, Yin Wenren licked his lips.
Then with a strong smile, he looked at the excited people in front of him:
"So, who of you wants to join and who wants to quit?"
………………
In a village in the Country of Waves.
Kurama Yunkai walked out of the thatched cottage and shivered subconsciously.
Due to geographical factors, the temperature in the morning is still very low.
But people in the village got up early to work.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset, this is the case every day and every year.
In other words, this is the most satisfactory state for them.
Kurama Unkai looked at his subordinates beside him and asked, "Have you counted the number of workers in this village?"
"One hundred and twenty-seven people."
Although he had expected it, Kurama Unkai was still surprised.
"One hundred and twenty-seven people... There are only more than a thousand villagers in this village, but more than one-tenth are workers?"
After Kurama Unkai arrived in the Country of Waves, he began to investigate and found out that the total population of this village was approximately more than 1,200 people.
Moreover, the general level of education is very low, most adults know only a limited number of words, and there are no schools or unified educational institutions in the village.
Most adults have a dispensable attitude towards educating their children.
This is not a land of snow, and people have no awakening consciousness.
And because the economy is relatively backward, there is no need to be literate in daily life. It is enough to be able to work, work hard, and have enough to eat and drink.
These are the only skills they can teach their children.
"Yeah, I feel like the people here are really backward." The subordinate next to him also lamented.
After visiting so many villagers with Master Yunhai, this was the only thought in his mind at this time.
"No way, this is the truest thought in their hearts."
Kurama Yunhai sighed and said: "The economy of this country is actually not backward, but the people of this country are too poor. They need to work in Hukou to support their families, rather than learn some knowledge that is useless to them."
Survival and life are two different concepts.
Ordinary farmers and workers can barely survive on food and wages after paying taxes.
In their subconscious mind, only nobles can study, and farmers and workers should work to support themselves and their families.
This idea is naturally wrong in the eyes of Kurama Yunhai today.
But if we start from the actual situation, these people's ideas are correct.
Only by filling your stomach can you "fill" your mind.
"If we can't have a deep understanding of their lives, even if we capture the entire Kingdom of Waves, it will only hinder our progress."
Kurama Unkai said with admiration in his tone: "This is also the reason why Menma-sama sent me to the Country of Waves for practical investigation."
"It sounds like trouble."
"Hahaha, it's really troublesome."
Hearing this, Kurama Congyun laughed and said: "If the Lord wants to suppress the entire ninja world by himself, I believe it will be easier than the current method."
"It's a pity that status, power, wealth, and even strength... are just tools for the Lord to realize his ultimate ideal."
"Although I don't understand what he wants, I can tell, old man, that he is also longing for something."
Having been with Menma all year round, Kurama Congyun's thoughts have become more and more open-minded.
The current ninja world is still an era dominated by ninjas.
Both nobles and ninjas ignored the largest number of ordinary people.
This in itself is a form of arrogance.
The subordinate next to me nodded and whispered: "Sometimes, the Lord is clearly standing in front of me, but inexplicably I feel that he is standing far away."
"Don't think too much. Among the Uzumaki clan, the Uchiha clan...and our Kurama clan, who is not completely captured by his unique charm? If it is a guy like Uchiha Madara, he cannot lead us to where we are now."
"No matter where he's looking, just knowing he's standing in front of us is enough."
Kurama Unkai took a deep breath and said, "Collect the information of those workers. Those with bad records such as gambling should be removed from the list."
"We are about to take the second step of our plan, turning the Kingdom of Waves into our sharp blade to penetrate the Kingdom of Fire."
