Leaf, root.

Taking the scroll tied with the rope from the pocket's hand, Danzo calmly untied the rope, opened the scroll, and saw the contents on the scroll at a glance.

Then, he turned his eyes to look at Kao and asked, "Does Orochimaru only let you pass this kind of thing over?"

Obviously, he is not very satisfied with the return of Orochimaru.

You must know that even if Orochimaru defected, he also used the resources on his hands to provide Orochimaru a lot of convenience.

In Danzo's view, the exchange of interests between Orochimaru's return to him, or the root, and the root's support for Orochimaru, are completely unequal.

Dou nodded and said: "Yes, this is Lord Orochimaru's answer to Lord Danzo. Lord Orochimaru said that he can't replicate the technology of the country of ghosts alone. That kind of powerful military industry system requires a complete system. Teams can only be developed. Konoha lacks such a technical team now. Even Master Orochimaru cannot shake the technical status of the country of ghosts with the power of one person."

This reason can only barely persuade Danzo.

However, the military industry is indeed a blind spot for Tuanzang's cognition.

In the past, he never thought that Konoha would be troubled by this kind of thing.

Although there are also such technical employees in Konoha, they are not many, and they are not well-known figures. In addition, the funds provided by the top management for this department have always been very short, so they have not achieved much for many years.

Because in Danzo's view, rather than studying the military industry, it is better to study more about the power of the Wood Dun and the Tailed Beast, which can make Konoha stronger quickly.

However, times began to enter a turning point.

Steel, which was considered useless in the past, has squeezed the ninja war market.

The weapons made by the country of ghosts crowd out the traditional ninja power of the entire Five Kingdoms system.

As for the native ninjas in the country of ghosts, they were originally a combination of traditional ninjas and industrial age ninjas.

At least in the information collected at the root, the wandering witches in the land of ghosts, and the debt collectors of the Chamber of Commerce in various places will carry all kinds of strange weapons. Even elite ninjas will accidentally catch these people. road.

So, Oni Ninjas don't have to worry about their war market being squeezed. The military of the Kingdom of Ghosts, which does not rely on entrusted tasks to obtain development funds, is really behind the funds for the military of the Kingdom of Ghosts. It is the Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce, a giant business alliance in the ninja world. If you want to suppress the development of the country of ghosts, you must first bring down the Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce.

But the problem is, wanting to overthrow the Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce is an idiot dream.

So far, the industrial chain of the Shiyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce has matured to the point of terror.

From food to medical care, from furniture to arms, any industry has the shadow of this chamber of commerce. And the products sold are also widely praised in the industry.

Even if one or two industries are suppressed by the power of the Fire Nation, this kind of thing is meaningless.

Moreover, once the Shion Flower Merchant Association is used to make things difficult for the Shion Flower Merchant Association, the troops of the Ghost Country military will follow.

It is because of this that Danzo believes that the military, political and financial system of the country of ghosts is completely terrifying.

Compared with the country of thunder, the country of ghosts is the real enemy of Konoha and the country of fire.

"By the way, there is one more thing, Orochimaru hopes that Danzo-sama will agree."

Kaoru remembered something and said.

"what?"

"Master Orochimaru hopes that Master Danzang can give him research materials on the banned drugs for tailed animals. Master Orochimaru is very interested in the banned drugs for tailed animals developed by the roots."

"Is this your idea, or Orochimaru's idea?"

Danzo's gaze pierced the heart like a sharp blade.

With a slight smile on Dou's face, he said without fear at all, "Of course it was Lord Orochimaru's idea."

Danzo didn't speak immediately, but after a little silence, he sneered and said, "That fellow Orochimaru really takes care of you. Seeing you like this reminds me of Ye Naiyu. If she sees You must be very disappointed with your duplicitous appearance now."

As if he had touched the taboo in Dou's heart, Dou couldn't help changing his face, clenched his fists tightly, and swept towards Danzo with cold eyes, as if he had swallowed Danzo.

"Isn't this what Danzo-sama wanted? Make me like this."

"No, it's just a choice you made, I just provided the platform."

Danzo said.

"Like Uchiha Itachi? Be careful to devour yourself sooner or later."

"Although the chicks have learned to fly, they still have shackles around their necks. This is the fate of you and Itachi."

"I'll remember that."

Dou's face returned to normal, his icy gaze disappeared, with a certain kind of inexplicable smile.

Seeing Kau adjust his emotions so quickly, Danzo couldn't help feeling sorry in his heart.

It's a pity that such a perfect spy doesn't belong to the root.

"Compared to your adoptive mother Ye Naiyu, your talent in spying is no less. But unlike you, Ye Naiyu is a lotus flower in the dark. He can't stand the darkness before he breaks away from his roots and goes to work in an orphanage. But you are used to it. the darkness, and gradually enjoy the pleasure of deceiving others. You are a natural spy."

"This kind of provocation is useless to me. It is because the dean is too clear, so death is her greatest redemption."

"Really? Forget it, let's stop this topic."

Do not want to continue to stimulate the pocket.

To deal with such a battle-hardened spy, Danzo knew that the power of words alone could not shake his heart.

Tou and Itachi are different, Itachi has a tie and is easily locked up by words.

And the tie of the pocket is already dead.

The root can't guide the way forward for Dou, and naturally there is no way to control Dou's life.

"Since you want the research materials on the banned drugs for tailed beasts, I will give them to you. All of this is for the next pleasant cooperation. By the way, there is another question. The meteorite that fell outside Konoha a few days ago, Do you have any clues? According to Kakashi's report, he met the rebellious persevering persimmon shark in Kiriyin Village, as well as the child Itachi. They wear red cloud coats with a black background, and they seem to be from the same organization as Orochimaru."

"Master Orochimaru has temporarily left the organization and is serving as the organization's logistics staff. As for the name of the organization, Master Orochimaru has not told me, maybe there is something hidden in it. But the meteorite mentioned by Master Danzo, this matter. I don't know, it can't be man-made."

For the meteorite to land around Konoha, Kazuo thought it was an extremely random probabilistic event.

"But the people from that organization appeared there by coincidence. In the analysis report of Anbu's post-mortem investigation, it was stated that the meteorite split from the inside, and it seemed that something was inside and was taken away."

Danzo stared at the pocket.

If the meteorite fell from the sky, if it was man-made and something was intentionally taken away, it would not be a simple accident.

And it was premeditated.

Dou shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I don't know anything about this matter. Master Orochimaru has always kept a tight lip on such confidential matters. According to Master Orochimaru, the leader of the organization is very powerful. Arguably the most powerful ninja."

"How about the three people in the land of ghosts?"

"Of course, including those three people. But if the three of them join forces, the outcome will be unpredictable."

This is just a guess, and I don't know much about the specific things.

Even if he is Orochimaru's henchman, he is also taken care of by Orochimaru in many things, but even if he is a close believer, there are some things that cannot be explained to him.

It's not a question of distrust, but the more you know, the quicker you die.

Or, he is not yet at the level where he can know the answer.

"Forget it if you don't know, then that's it, you can go down. Recently, Rijian is investigating the foreign enemy spy in the village. Don't expose it. If you are going to die, it will be very troublesome to contact Orochimaru."

Danzo advised.

"Cleaning up spies at this time?"

This news surprised Dou Wei slightly.

"This has nothing to do with you, just do your job well."

Danzo held the scroll, turned around and left, unwilling to talk to Dou.

Dou was not discouraged, and his identity was destined that Danzo would not tell him anything too confidential.

However, the three generations of Hokage began to conduct an internal investigation, which was a troublesome thing.

Recently, he felt that it was better for him to be honest and low-key.

The Land of Waves, District D.

With the outbreak of the peasant and workers' resistance movement, the power of the nobles in the country of waves began to shrink sharply.

The decline and demise of the Daimyo Prefecture dealt a fatal blow to the traditional nobles of the Land of Waves, preventing them from gathering enough troops to fight against the revolting workers and peasants.

At first, only the working class attacked the Daming Mansion, and there were less than 500 workers, but under the premise of being equipped with sophisticated weapons, the Daming Mansion of the Land of Waves would be defeated in the first battle and completely declined.

The aristocratic forces of the Country of Wave, which were originally concentrated in Area A, have also moved closer to Area B of the Country of Wave after being hit hard. Relying on the last strength, they held their positions and confronted the resistance forces.

However, now the C and D areas of the Land of Waves are occupied by the rebel forces - the agricultural and industrial groups, and half of the territory of the A area has also been taken over.

The power of the nobles can be said to be weakened to the limit.

The war is not over yet, but the nobles who have eroded the interests of the people of the country of waves for many years have also tasted the bitter fruit of their own evil deeds over the years.

After occupying half of the country of Wave, the peasant-industrial group was not in a hurry to expand its power. Due to the rapidly expanding forces, the internal management was chaotic. Under this circumstance, the peasant-industrial corps began to turn the offensive into the defensive. The security problems in the generals were resolved, and they began to restore field production and accumulate strength.

Not only that, with the support of the Ghost Country Chamber of Commerce, the construction of important institutions such as hospitals and schools began to gradually emerge in the poor and backward districts C and D of the country of waves.

One after another, flat and broad roads are also presented, striving to control all the acquired territories in the shortest time, and do not give the noble forces any chance to counterattack.

It is located in a mansion in the D area, and it exists as a temporary station for the Shion Flower Merchant Association in the country of ghosts to settle in the country of waves.

In the study, Yiji swept through the recently submitted reports one by one, and said in a regretful and boring tone: "Really, I thought these nobles would be able to resist a little more fiercely, but I didn't expect it to be so useless, so I just shrugged it off. Here comes the turtle."

"This is also something that can't be helped. It can't be said that most nobles are bullying and fearing the tough, but there are definitely not many nobles in such a small country. It is only because of the shadow of their ancestors that they are able to run rampant here."

Cardo said with a smile.

If the resistance is fierce, then a lot of people will die.

And for a battle that is sure to be defeated, those nobles will choose to protect themselves.

"What did the Fire Nation say?"

Although the power of the nobles in the country of waves has shrunk, it has not been dealt a devastating blow. It is just that the leader of the great masters is missing, and they are briefly in panic.

Therefore, not long ago, they sent messengers to the country of fire to ask for help.

I hope to use the power of the country of fire to calm the turmoil within the country.

"It's just a reputational condemnation. The consequences of military intervention are likely to turn into a war in the Land of Rain. Now both of us are restraining our war impulses."

Because once a war breaks out in a big country, it is the Ninja World War that breaks out, not the current petty fight.

Although the Third Ninja World War was a battle between big countries, the number of small countries involved were inexhaustible, and the Kingdom of Rain was just one of the victims.

It is not worth triggering the Fourth Ninja World War for a country of waves.

This is the tacit understanding of all the high-level people in the land of ghosts and the land of fire.

"The old man said that the country of fire will not let it go, so they will take action soon. The reputation condemnation is just diverting our attention, and they should take another action."

Ichiki said.

Cardo nodded. Although as a businessman, he didn't know much about politics, but he also understood that the country of waves was an important gateway to the country of fire, and it was impossible for the country of ghosts to take over here.

"From our side, they are powerless to start. Therefore, if the Fire Nation wants to intervene, it will only start planning from within the agricultural and labor corps."

After all, there are a lot of opportunistic people in the peasant-workers' corps. Such people can easily be bought off with money, thus causing problems in the management system within the peasant-workers' corps.

After all, the so-called peasant-worker group is a group of peasants and workers who have never read a book. Even if they gain the upper hand for a while with the support of the Kingdom of Ghosts, they still have many problems.

It is precisely because of this that the country of ghosts immediately started the construction of hospitals and schools, and began to organize the internal organization of the agricultural and labor corps.

Of course, the production plants for industrialized equipment are naturally being built simultaneously, trying to improve the poverty problem in the Land of Waves in the shortest time possible.

"When people get rich overnight, they gradually forget themselves, indulge in beautiful dreams, and become reluctant to make progress. After gaining the wealth of famous families, many people in the agricultural and labor corps are indeed satisfied. For them , which may have been the end of their lives."

But this is not the result that the country of ghosts wants.

Therefore, these opportunistic people will inevitably be bought by the various benefits promised by the Fire Nation, become moths within the agricultural and industrial group, and ruin the current good situation.

As for class struggle, these people will not take care of it.

Just after the meeting with the daimyo of the land of fire in the land of rain, the policy of reducing the endowment in the country seems very good, but it is really easy for the nobles to make money from the commoners.

Taxes may be reduced, but the proportion of gangs who work for the nobles will increase in the usual protection fee.

This also led to the policy of the Fire Nation's daimyo, which was actually the same as if it was not promulgated. Internationally, the famous name of the country of fire may earn a wave of fame, but it is estimated that many civilians in the country will still hate it.

Individuals only need self-discipline.

But an organization, a country, requires strong management policies that cannot be relaxed.

In the matter of reducing the gift, the interests of the fire country daimyo and the fire country nobles clearly began to conflict. If the name is reduced, the aristocratic forces will naturally find a way to get the money back from other places.

When the industrial reform was implemented in the country of ghosts, it was also opposed by many local nobles.

But fortunately, there is a huge chamber of commerce such as the Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce behind it, and the previous generation of witches gave the green light in terms of policy. Therefore, during the industrial reform, they did not rely too much on the support of the local nobles in the land of ghosts.

Unlike the local nobles in the country of ghosts, the local nobles in the country of fire are more powerful and more deeply rooted.

Almost all industries in the Land of Fire are done by them.

From the merchants to the gangster forces that collect the security fee, all the nobles are behind the scenes.

The Daming House is only the most powerful branch of the nobles, but in many cases, the interests of these people cannot be ignored, otherwise conflicts and protests will arise.

"What do you want to do next, Miss?"

Cardo asked.

"The old man intends to relax here and not push the country of fire too tightly. Next, you should contact the Leiguang group and let them get in touch with the country's agricultural and industrial group, and get a turnaround from there."

"Lightning regiment? Do you want them to be dispatched at this time?"

Cardo was surprised.

The so-called Leiguang Group is a mercenary group in the underground black market.

Like Xuanyuanzhong, the Leiguang regiment belongs to a secret force cultivated by the military of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

All the members of the Leiguang Group are ninjas with secret techniques or the ability to follow the boundaries of blood.

In terms of hard power, it is only slightly worse than Xuan Yuanzhong.

Recently, it has also become famous in the underground black market. Like Xuan Yuanzhong, it belongs to the pillar-level mercenary group of the underground black market.

"This is something that can't be helped. If a big country fights, it will be painless at most, but the country of waves may not be able to bear it here."

Ichiki sighed.

It is precisely because she is a ninja that she understands how desperate and powerless ordinary people are when facing ninjas.

The peasant and labor corps of the country of waves did defeat the native nobles of the country of waves, but this kind of battle, in her opinion, was only a minor level of trouble.

Even if the strength of the peasant and workers' group is ten times stronger, she alone is enough to solve it.

In the land of fire, there is no shortage of elite ninjas.

"It doesn't make sense, right? That's right, wanting to use the country of waves as a springboard and infiltrating the country of fire is not a short-term project that can be completed. Then, I'll go down and contact the people of the Leiguang group first."

Cardo bowed slightly and turned to leave.

In the dilapidated temple, the Buddha statues are dilapidated and the corners are covered with cobwebs.

In addition, a pothole created by an explosion appeared on the floor, and thick smoke was rising.

The dark-blond-haired boy of about twelve or thirteen years old was arranging the black-bottomed red cloud uniform he had just put on, and he said to the three people next to him in an unhappy tone: "Let's talk first, I don't plan to do anything for your place. The organization is completely dedicated, and it is only because you said you can find art there that you reluctantly agreed to join."

The shark-faced man chuckled and said, "Looks like he's an arrogant brat. I didn't expect to be so arrogant after eating Itachi's illusion. If it's one step later, he'll go to heaven because of the explosion."

The hideous man with a hunched waist and a few hairs on his head also sneered.

"This kind of kid looks like a type of premature death. I hope he can persist for a longer time. It is said that an instant explosion is art. This is just a self-impression. Only eternity is the real art."

"Hmph, I don't agree with this statement. Guys like you can't understand the essence of art in a lifetime. The so-called art refers to the aesthetics that explodes in an instant, eh."

The boy put on his clothes, put his hair behind him, and said in a very contemptuous tone.

"What did you say?"

There was murder in the voice.

"Hey, this is a newcomer, you give him a little, scorpion."

The shark-faced man smiled.

"Don't make trouble here, or I'll kill you, ghost shark. Didn't you hear this kid arrogantly provoking me?"

Scorpion's tone was full of impatience.

Looking at the young man's eyes, there were bloodshot eyes filled with murderous aura.

"Scorpion, if he dies, it will be difficult to find new people again. The leader also said that you should take care of him a little. The strength of this guy will be of great use in the future."

Just when the scorpion couldn't help but want to make a move, itachi, who was silent on the side, stopped the scorpion's action.

Scorpion turned his head slightly, although he was very unhappy with Itachi's attitude, he also knew that finding new people was a hassle.

If he does it here, Itachi and Oni will definitely come to stop him.

One-on-two, no matter how confident he is, he cannot guarantee victory. Besides, there is no reason to fight with the two of them.

"Even if he were to team up with me, I wouldn't agree with his art. The momentary aesthetics dominated by illusions are ridiculous."

Scorpion snorted coldly, turned around and left first.

Itachi didn't speak, turned around in silence, and followed Scorpion's footsteps.

"Your name is Deidara, right? Come on, and now I'll take you to see our leader. That's a terrible guy, be careful not to say the wrong thing, or no one can save you~www.mtlnovel. com~ Ghost Shark reminded me.

"What, such an organization with no artistic taste, I regret agreeing to join you."

The boy named Deidara complained, especially looking at Itachi's back, with a trace of unwillingness and resentment in his eyes.

The wheel-eye illusion... It's a really annoying thing.

One day, this guy is going to blow up. Makes his art look bad.

With this thought in his mind, Deidara looked at the clothes on his body again, and said in a rather satisfied tone:

"The design of the clothes is quite artistic. When you wear this clothes, when you are cold, you will definitely make yourself more handsome and artistic. Well."

When the ghost shark heard Deidara's self-talk, he scratched his head helplessly.

It appears to be a problem child with a troublesome personality.
