Chapter 329 Confusion and Peeping

Under the shade of the shade tree, Baishi found the Xuanyuan group headed by Chongnan.

"Looking at the way you returned without success, it seems that Sugi Village has indeed been wiped out."

"Yes, Master Shiraishi."

The worm man tells the truth.

Although it was due to Xuan Yuanzhong's ineffectiveness, they never thought that Lei Ying from Yunyin Village would retaliate against Sugi Village so decisively that they had no time to react.

This interrupted the reward mission.

But failure is failure, so Zong Man will not find excuses to prevaricate.

After all, it is impossible to guarantee a 100% mission completion rate for Xuan Yuanzhong who is in the underground black market.

Even if it is Undead Jiaodu, the completion rate of missions in the underground black market in the past was only above 90%. Now Xuan Yuanzhong's task completion rate also fluctuates around this value.

"Also, there is one more thing worth noting."

The worm man remembered something and said.

"What?"

"The big shots behind the underground black market platform, as well as the bounty hunters who rely on the platform to survive, are very dissatisfied with the practice of the Kingdom of Ghosts to eliminate the black market platform. Some of the powerful bounty hunters may, under the instigation of the big shots behind the scenes, take risks and launch an assassination operation against Master Shiraishi to show deterrence."

After all, the Kingdom of Ghosts has not only cleared its own domestic black market platforms, but even the black market platforms in surrounding small countries have also suffered a devastating blow.

Doing so will undoubtedly shrink the trading market of the underground black market and damage the interests of the black market platform.

The interests of the black market platform will also adversely affect the income of bounty hunters who rely on the platform to survive.

Although the black market platform has not done so yet, if the kingdom of ghosts continues to expand its influence and cut off the underground black market platform, then it will inevitably arouse the revenge of the black market and anger those lawless bounty hunters.

At the same time, it will also dissatisfy the big businessmen and officials behind the black market platform.

This means that once the enemies of those big businessmen and officials escape into the protected area of the ghost country's anti-black market platform, there is no way to carry out assassinations.

Doing so will undoubtedly offend many people directly or indirectly.

"This kind of thing has been expected for a long time. You can do your own tasks in the underground black market. When necessary, you can be used as an internal response to wipe out the black market forces in reverse."

Shiraishi was not surprised.

He instructed the military to cut off the black market platform near the Kingdom of Ghosts, and it is only natural that the black market platform will counterattack and retaliate.

According to the personality of those big businessmen and officials who manipulate the black market platform, they will not be indifferent to this.

The apparent threat to the kingdom of ghosts has been lifted, and it is a good choice to use these little ghosts who are not on the stage to train soldiers in secret.

Anyway, in his conception, the underground black market, a platform full of dark transactions, was originally a key target and should not remain in the world.

With Xuan Yuanzhong as internal support, it is enough to grasp the trend of the underground black market in the first place.

"yes!"

A sharp light flashed in the eyes of Zongnan and others.

In recent years, the five of them have not only completed bounty tasks in the underground black market, but also secretly explored the various intricacies behind the scenes of the underground black market. Constantly traveling around to find out where the strongholds of each country are.

At the same time, secretly hunt down those bounty hunters, businessmen, and officials who want to harm the ghost kingdom.

After all, the rapid development of the ghost country, the astonishing wealth has already attracted many people to covet it.

The war between the kingdom of ghosts and the underground black market has already begun.

The road that the Kingdom of Ghosts is going to take is destined to touch the interests of most vested interests and knock them down from the sky to the dust.

"Go, the remaining troops of the underground black market, a total of 132 people, will also start hunting operations with you."

Shiraishi waved his hand.

Zong Nan and other five people nodded, and with a whoosh, they disappeared from the spot using the instant body technique.

"It seems that the underground black market is no longer a concern."

Lei Mingmaru stood on Shiraishi's shoulder and said.

"This kind of chaotic black market platform is not a threat. Not only are experts scarce, but they are all a group of desperadoes who sell their lives for money. When encountering real threats of death, they are more afraid of death than anyone else. Fighting them is just a small fight."

"It's true. The power of the black market is too scattered. If it can be concentrated, it might be a little tricky."

But this is impossible.

There are too many big businessmen and officials behind the black market, and the forces are divided into dozens or hundreds of shares. The power is scattered into an underground black market with tens or hundreds of shares, and it is conceivable how difficult it is to integrate them.

Baishi did not reply, but walked out of the cave, came to a clearing in the woods, and said:

"Then let's separate here. You are now going to the country of Bo to assist in the operation. I can return alone on my side, and you don't need to follow."

"Yes, then, I will take my leave first, my lord father."

Lei Mingwan nodded slightly, jumped off Baishi's shoulder, ran quickly with all four limbs, and disappeared into a blue thunder light in the dense forest.

Watching Lei Mingmaru go away, Shiraishi withdrew his gaze and rushed back towards the kingdom of ghosts.

Into the night.

"Well, Tsunade-sama, we have to hurry tomorrow, it's better not to drink too much alcohol at night... and drinking too much alcohol is not good for your health."

Shizune sat aside, looking at Tsunade who was drinking continuously, causing his face to turn red, he couldn't help admonishing him.

"You're really nagging, Shizune, I'm a medical ninja, of course my body knows it. It's fine."

Ignoring Shizune's advice, Tsunade picked up the bottle and took a sip into his mouth, causing Shizune to sigh again and again.

It is because he is a medical ninja that he should not indulge himself like this.

Just when Shizune was about to persuade again, a voice suddenly reached her and Tsunade's ears:

"You're still drinking alone here at night, is there something bothering you, Tsunade?"

Jing Yin looked up at the person who came, and was quite surprised.

"Master Jiraiya?"

The person who came was Jiraiya, standing in front of the wine table, teasing with a smile on his face.

Tsunade also woke up from drunkenness, but the skin on his face was still red, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Today's troubles are really one after another. Did you discuss it on purpose?"

Tsunade's words sounded a bit inexplicable to Jiraiya, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

Sitting opposite Tsunade, he smiled at Tsunade and said, "Don't say that, you left the village in a hurry before, and I haven't had time to ask you for a drink. Today just makes up."

Shizune looked at Jiraiya slightly dissatisfied.

I almost forgot that Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, is also an alcoholic, and he belongs to the type of alcoholic with very poor quality of alcohol.

Not only that, but also a hungry ghost in lust.

And the only Orochimaru who is not against the three bans of ninjas is the S-rank dangerous rebel who betrayed the village.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and get out if you have nothing to do. I don't have time to listen to your detours here."

Tsunade was very disrespectful to Jiraai, and said bluntly.

Zilai was also embarrassed for a while, but quickly calmed down and said, "Actually, I came to you not only because of my own wishes, but also because of Teacher Sarutobi."

"Pick up the key points."

Tsunade's voice lowered.

"Sarutobi-sensei and I both hope that you will go back to serve as the Fifth Hokage."

Jilai also saw Tsunade being so straightforward, so it's not good to ask first, and directly say what he came for.

"What's the reason?"

"You know my personality, too free and loose, not suitable for managing the village. And Mr. Sarutobi is getting old, and now the Uchiha clan has such a thing, plus the country of ghosts... so the current international environment is very unfavorable to Konoha. Only you, the granddaughter of the first Hokage, can go back and turn the tide."

"Then like Minato, become a puppet?"

Tsunade held the wine bottle that had already been drunk, feeling a little restless.

"Sarutobi-sensei was also worried about the village at the beginning... Besides, Minato has passed away, so don't mention the past."

Speaking of this, Jiraiya also showed a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"That kind of nonsense is just to deceive a fool like you who is easily moved by yourself. Don't tell me that the Uchiha matter has nothing to do with the high-level."

Tsunade sneered.

"It is precisely because of this that you need to go back to govern. With your prestige, you are enough to become the fifth generation of Hokage. To be honest, the current Sarutobi-sensei is already powerless to deal with Neto. As far as I know, Neto has been conducting some taboo experiments recently, which may be related to tailed beasts."

"Isn't that great? It can greatly enhance the strength of the village."

"This is different. Danzo's ideas are too extreme, and Danzo is ambitious. Once he is allowed to dominate the voice of the village, a ninja war may break out immediately."

Jirai also looked serious.

"It doesn't make any difference if Konoha or another village initiates the ninja war. Anyway, people will die and fight. It's just that Konoha under the leadership of Danzo has changed from passive to active."

Tsunade said coldly.

Jilai also looked at Tsunade in astonishment, he didn't expect Tsunade to say such words.

"Why do you say that?"

It's like getting to know Tsunade again.

"...It's nothing, I'm a little confused after drinking."

Tsunade also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue. No matter what, what he said before was somewhat against his grandfather's philosophy.

If she made a change, then, first of all, it would be disrespectful to her grandfather.

But... Tsunade remembered what Shiraishi said to himself in the afternoon.

Not only denied his grandfather, but also denied the daimyo and nobles. She wanted to reshuffle the entire world structure and establish a new system, which made her a little yearning.

If you continue to follow that idea, will the world really be a better place?

The ninja village system has many drawbacks.

Peace should not be just an enclosure-like self-entertainment, nor should it be just the peace of daimyo and nobles.

If I were a commoner, I would want to live in the country of ghosts even more.

If more people know about the living environment in the Kingdom of Ghosts, will they follow and expect that kind of life?

Grandfather Izumi is known, will he support her?

But... In this way, Konoha... what is the value of everything left by her grandfather?

Thinking of this, Tsunade laughed at himself.

Really, as the successor of the Will of Fire, I began to question the will of my ancestors because of the rebellious words.

Peace...what does it look like?

Is it the peace of the daimyo, nobles, ninjas and other privileged classes, or... the peace of more ordinary people, more mortals?

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade's hand that picked up the empty wine bottle, which was trembling slightly, and felt puzzled.

He didn't know if Tsunade's hands were shaking from drinking too much alcohol, or because he was afraid that something was shaking.

Maybe the former.

In Jiraiya's impression, Tsunade has always been a strong woman who is not afraid of anything.

"Ji Lai Ye..."

Tsunade's voice was a little hoarse.

"Um?"

"If you find out the cause and effect of an event, but because you are afraid of breaking such rules, you will cause chaos that will overturn the world... What should I do?"

Tsunade stared closely at Jiraiya's face.

Jiraiya looked even more stunned, he was a little surprised that Tsunade would ask such a question.

Although it is a bit vague, the reason is probably understandable.

After thinking about the words for a while, Zilai also replied: "It depends on the cause and effect of this matter. Whether it can bring about good things or bad things. After all, you also said that it is enough to overturn the world. If it happens, many people will definitely die. If it were me, of course this kind of thing needs to be considered in the long run and slowly changed. On the premise of not destroying stability, find the best of both worlds to solve the cause and effect you said."

"I see."

Tsunade smiled.

It's really a 'Jiraiya' answer.

"Leave this question aside, what are you thinking about the Fifth Hokage?"

Zilai also cares about this topic.

"I'm in a mess right now, and I can't give an accurate answer. Decline Sarutobi-sensei's kindness for me."

Tsunade waved his hand, a bit reluctant to talk about this topic.

"Why? Among the leaves, only you have the ability to turn the tide."

With the current situation of Konoha, it is really not good in the world.

Various accidents have occurred one after another. Since the end of the Third Ninja World War, the number of Konoha's task entrustments has begun to decrease year by year.

If this continues, it is bound to be overtaken by the rest of the Ninja Village.

"I said that my mind is a bit confused, and I can't answer it now."

"Tsunade, you are a little strange today, what happened?"

Zilai also fell silent, and suddenly asked this question.

Tsunade dodged his gaze a little, put his hands on the table, and stood up straight.

"It's nothing, you're thinking too much. I'm a little dizzy, I'm going to rest first. Mute, let's go."

After finishing speaking, Tsunade covered his forehead with a headache, pretended to be dizzy, and walked out of the room with Shizune's support.

"This guy Tsunade..."

Jirai also squinted his eyes.

He had a hunch that something must have happened to Tsunade, otherwise today would not be so strange.

"It seems that it is not such a simple thing to complete the old man's task, and I am also a little concerned about the recent trends of the organization that Orochimaru belongs to..."

Zilai also has a headache.

Now that he is really weak, Konoha's international pressure, as well as internal power and factional struggles, are also the local officials that he is worried about.

Not only that, the two important tasks of convincing Tsunade and collecting the movements of mysterious organizations are also on him.

Speaking far away, the kingdom of ghosts cannot be taken lightly.

Among all threats today, the kingdom of ghosts is the most threatening one.

If Tsunade can serve as the Five Great Hokage at this time, then many problems can be easily solved.

Turning Tsunade's mind, he can only take it slowly.

Konoha Hospital.

The Drug Analysis Institute, headed by Asami Masumi, the director of the pharmaceutical department, including a total of 21 Konoha elite medical ninjas, is carrying out a secret research task from the village's senior management.

Using 'unknown poison' as the main body of this research task, the analysis of unknown and highly toxic is carried out.

Asami Masumi held a small finger-sized dark red transparent crystal in her hand, which was a rare crystal produced by mixing unknown poison with blood.

Such crystals were extradited from high-level hands to the hospital research institute. They asked the hospital research institute to analyze the medicinal properties of this crystal as quickly as possible, and to produce an ineffective and highly toxic resistance drug against this highly toxic.

This research work has been going on for many days, but the progress of the analysis of the pharmacology of the highly toxic can still be described as slow.

Although they figured out that there is a terrible secret hidden behind this poisonous crystal, but now they can't even see the shadow of the door to open the secret, let alone pry into the secret behind the door.

"How? Still failed?"

Put this crystal in a closed transparent bottle casually, Asami Masumi stuffed it into the pocket of the white coat, found the medical ninja who had finished the analysis work, and asked.

On the tray of the detector, there is some dark red powder scraped from the crystal.

Around the tray, there is a miniature spherical enchantment.

The medical ninja gave a wry smile, nodded and replied: "Yes, it failed. Many instruments for analyzing drugs in the hospital are related to the Chakra system, but once the Chakra comes into contact with this powder, it will be swallowed up. Even if the most sophisticated observation instruments are used, the composition of the powder cannot be completely dialyzed."

"Since this kind of thing can eliminate Chakra, it must have some similarities with Chakra."

Asami Masumi stroked her chin and said.

The medical ninja also nodded, and he also thought Masumi Asami's words made sense.

Since chakra can be eliminated, some of it must be related to chakra. It's just that they have no way to analyze the secrets in it now.

Because this substance is not only related to Chakra, but on the other hand can eliminate Chakra. This is what makes them helpless now.

A group of the best medical ninjas in Konoha has been assembled, but there is still no way to get a glimpse of the mystery, which shows the rarity and specialness of this highly poisonous poison.

Even if external forces intervene, except for Chakra, they have no way to use the second energy to crack the secret.

"What to do next?"

Medical Ninja Inquiry.

Asami Masumi thought for a while and said: "Since the instruments here can't analyze it, we can only observe it through this kind of highly toxic exercise."

The medical ninja was taken aback for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "If you do this..."

"Well, human trials."

Asami Masumi pushed the thick-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and responded softly.

It is very difficult to conduct human experiments in Konoha Hospital, because the hospital cannot make decisions on its own, especially when it involves such an important confidential task, which needs to be reported up layer by layer.

"Although the bodies of ordinary people and animals can be used as substitutes, the best material is ninjas. Because only ninjas can observe everything. I will go to the third generation and apply to him."

"yes."

Watching Asami Masumi leave.

Looking at the report submitted by Asami Masumi, Hirazan is also under consideration.

After that, he looked at Asami Masumi who was wearing a white coat. At only thirty years old, he was already the leading medical ninja among Konoha.

For these years, I have worked in the pharmacy department of the hospital and served as the director. I have won the trust of my subordinates in terms of character and work ability.

It can be said that apart from Tsunade, he is one of the best medical ninjas in Konoha.

The talent in drug analysis and research is also outstanding.

"Tell me about your request."

As for the analysis and research of drugs, Rizai doesn't know much about it.

Therefore, he can only provide the hospital's drug research department with the greatest authority possible to analyze the special and highly toxic secrets brought back by Jiraiya.

Because it is one of the great ninjutsu secrets related to the kingdom of ghosts, we must do our best to complete the research work.

"Yes, Hokage-sama. I hope the village can provide about ten to fifteen ninjas to cooperate with our research. Because this is an extremely rare virus, we have exhausted all the research methods these days, but we have no way to understand the secret. We only know that it is compatible with Chakra, but it also shows the characteristics of extremely repelling Chakra. We can only observe it from the dynamic effect of the poison when it spreads."

Asami Masumi gave her own reasons, which is also the reason for persuading the third generation to provide human bodies for research by the hospital department.

"Ten to fifteen is too much... Up to eight of you."

Hi Zhan thought about it, sighed, and answered like this.

Asami Masumi hesitated to speak, and knew that this was the bottom line of Hiriza.

"Yes, I understand."

"I know that under limited conditions, this work is very difficult for the research department of your hospital, but the situation in the village is also very difficult now, I hope you can understand."

"Yes. I understand, Hokage-sama. In addition, I also hope that Jiraiysama can cooperate with us."

"Ji Lai Ye?"

"Uh, of course, Master Jiraiya is not used as a test subject. It seems that this kind of poison can be eliminated with the magic of Mt. Myogi. I hope Master Jiraiya can get in touch with Mt. Miaogi and provide the magic formula or items that can eliminate this kind of poison for the department to study. Otherwise, even if there are enough human bodies, I am afraid that progress will not be great."

Asami Masumi looked straight into Hirizan's eyes with a sincere attitude.

Hizhan thought about it, then nodded and said: "Yes, I will mention this matter to Jiraiya, but whether it can be done or not depends on the attitude of Miaomushan."

Although because of Jiraiya's relationship, the relationship between Konoha and Myogi-san can be regarded as relatively friendly.

But when it comes to some secrets that belong to him alone, Ri Zhan is not sure that Miao Mushan will cooperate with Konoha to conduct research.

"It's okay. Then, I will take my leave first, Hokage-sama."

Bowed slightly to Hirizhan, Asami Masumi turned and walked outside, the lens reflected a bright white light, her face was still ruthless and emotionless.

In this way, Miao Mushan can no longer maintain a sense of mystery that deceives people.
