Chapter 349 Fangs

"Penn..."

Placed in front of Danzo is a very high-resolution photo.

The above is an adult male wrapped in a black coat. From the appearance of the clothes, he is a person whose real identity cannot be determined from the appearance.

The Yuyin ninja called the other party 'Payne', and he is also the current leader of Yuyin.

is a mysterious figure full of mysteries from head to toe, and he doesn't know where he popped up. Regarding the intelligence of Rain Hidden leader Payne, the information collected is basically fragmentary and cannot form a complete system.

Since Kanzang's downfall, Root's control over Yuyin has completely disappeared.

A long time ago, Genbu began to investigate Yuyin's new leader, but there was no result. In addition, Konoha's attention was not focused on the Land of Rain at that time, so the investigation plan for Yuyin was put on hold.

If the Land of Rain hadn't broken out into a civil war and involved the daimyo's ruling system, it is estimated that the big country would not be so decisive.

Compared to letting Yuyin Village take power, the daimyos of the surrounding big countries hope that the daimyo of the Land of Rain will continue to lead the Land of Rain.

It's just that the daimyo of the Land of Rain performed really badly in the third ninja world war. He betrayed his country and sought glory, which led to a complete riot at the bottom. Under the instigation and leadership of Yuyin Village, he challenged the absolute authority of the ninja world since ancient times.

The key to this is Yuyin's new leader Payne.

"He killed Kanzang and came to power, and quickly established prestige in Yuyin, and was loyal to many Yuyin ninjas...Is it Hanzang's clan?"

Danzo looked at the people in the photo and fell into deep thought.

But Danzo quickly denied this point of view.

Because the clansmen of Hanzo have already been blood-washed by the roots, Kanzang who came to power later.

To truly cut off children and grandchildren is more thorough than the Uchiha clan of Konoha today.

After all, in order to eliminate Hanzo's prestige in Yuyin Village, everything related to Hanzo should be destroyed. This was also in Genbu's plan.

"Master Danzo."

A root ninja walks in.

In the dim room, the candlelight flickered slightly, and there was only Danzo in it.

"What's up?"

"Master Ryoma has been in contact."

"Understood, how is Yuyin doing?"

The militiaman held the ninja tool of the ghost country in his hand. Although it has a certain threat to ninjas, it is not an orthodox ninja after all. As long as a small-scale attack plan is adopted, it is enough to disintegrate the offensive of these militiamen.

Ninja tools from the kingdom of ghosts, the greater the number of people, the stronger the destructive effect.

On the contrary, in the assault encounter, many disadvantages were revealed.

Therefore, what Danzo really cares about is the movements of the ninjas in Yuyin Village. As long as Yuyin is solved, those militiamen called by Yuyin will also disperse.

They just came to suppress the turmoil, not simply to cause killing.

The situation at this time is different from that during the third Ninja World War.

At that time, he needed to anger Hanzo, so he secretly dispatched root ninjas to massacre in the Land of Rain.

Now it is only a local conflict, and the opponent is not a big country like the Kingdom of Wind or the Kingdom of Earth, so the means can be relatively mild.

"The casualties are not much different from those of the coalition forces. If the Kingdom of Ghosts is willing to cut off the supply of weapons, I believe the coalition forces will quickly gain the upper hand."

The so-called coalition forces refer to the ninja forces of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth.

Although it is a coalition force, each is its own master and will not really be unified for management.

"Has the country of ghosts still not interrupted the supply of arms to the small country?"

The five major countries jointly went to the Kingdom of Ghosts to demand that the Kingdom of Ghosts make an arms cut-off treaty to the small countries. Danzo knew about this.

The root ninja shook his head, indicating that there is no concrete result yet.

After all, with such a huge profit, the Kingdom of Ghosts will definitely not give up easily. Even if the five major powers jointly force it, it will be difficult for the Kingdom of Ghosts to make concessions.

The most important thing is that the five major countries have different opinions. They say that they are jointly signing the letter, but they are actually seeking their own interests. In addition, the ghost country is the home game, and the five major countries are away. It is definitely not so easy to negotiate.

"Pay close attention to the movements of the kingdom of ghosts. In addition, the kingdom of wave should also pay attention to it at all times. Recently, the claws of the kingdom of ghosts have stretched a little too long."

Danzo's voice is heavy.

He knew about the plan of the Fire Nation daimyo in the Wave Kingdom, and wanted to gather isolated island merchants in the border of the Wave Kingdom, and then wipe them all out, embezzling all the wealth of these unscrupulous merchants.

By that time, the roots and leaves will also receive a large sum of money for development.

The only thing he is worried about now is that the Ghost Kingdom will interfere with it and destroy the actions of the Fire Nation Daimyo.

"yes."

Root Ninja nodded heavily and walked out of the room.

Island.

In the high-level conference room at the top of the building, the big businessmen gathered together again.

"I tell you a very heavy news, the kingdom of ghosts has refused to cooperate with us."

The big businessman who was in charge of negotiating with the ghost country and doing the soliciting work said with a cold expression.

Although he tried his best to restrain himself, everyone could still see that his eyes were very gloomy. Obviously, after being rejected, he became dissatisfied with the kingdom of ghosts.

"Did Chiba Shiraishi personally reject it?"

A big businessman asked.

"No, I haven't even seen the other party's face. Although I have asked many times, the other party has not even met. It is obvious that we big businessmen don't take it seriously."

Although knowing that negotiating in front of the most senior military officials of a country will be at a certain disadvantage.

However, the disrespectful behavior of refusing to enter the kingdom of ghosts, and even refusing to meet face-to-face, is undoubtedly a humiliation to the arrogant and domineering isolated island businessman.

Also a disgrace to their Lone Island Merchant Alliance.

Although the Lone Island Merchants Alliance is really nothing in front of some powerful countries, they have the wealth that is second to none in the ninja world, and their total financial resources have surpassed the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce. Even high-level officials from the five major countries would not be so rude to them. Instead, they would take their money and handle affairs like ninjas.

"This will be troublesome. I didn't even see each other for a while...Did you give a reason?"

"Only one sentence came out, the Kingdom of Ghosts does not conduct any illegal business activities involving the underworld."

As soon as these words were uttered, all the big businessmen were silent, but there was a faint sneer of disdain on their faces.

"It's ridiculous. A group of rebels have just landed, and they are eager to say goodbye to the past."

But it's just a mockery. If they really had a real fight with the Kingdom of Ghosts, they wouldn't have the guts.

No matter what the other party's past status is, being able to force Konoha and Fire Nation to back down is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Just saying this will make them feel better.

This ninja world is not black and white, but also gray.

The five major powers are not justice, or in other words, there is no such thing as justice.

Because justice is created by human beings themselves, an extremely ambiguous and very narrow definition of self.

"Then what do we do next?"

A big businessman speaks.

Although they are very unhappy with the arrogance given to them by Chiba Shiraishi, it is meaningless to be unable to deter the other party militarily. In the end, it is only themselves who are unlucky.

It's just a little regret that I can't win the Kingdom of Ghosts into the camp, other than that, I don't feel anything.

"The progress of the Land of Waves needs to be accelerated. Please inform the daimyo of the Land of Fire. The officials from the Land of Fire have also been bribed by us, and they will cover for us at that time."

Another big businessman picked up his cane, raised it and pointed to the map on the table.

Landed on the island of the Kingdom of Waves.

The rest of the merchants also turned their eyes and stared at it, with a very unified mind.

"The Land of Fire and the Land of Waves are all on our side, and the profits they receive will be divided into three points. Since the Kingdom of Ghosts has a high moral character and is unwilling to join forces with us businessmen who smell of copper, then we should completely squeeze them out of the territory of the Land of Waves."

This is the best way and the only option now.

As for offending the Kingdom of Ghosts, the businessmen didn't care about it.

The country of waves is within the sphere of influence of the country of fire, and the country of ghosts is far away in the west of the mainland. Even if they want to take revenge on them, they must be powerless.

As for commercial suppression, there is nothing to be afraid of.

The combined strength of them is enough to overwhelm the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce. Business competition is their strong point.

"It seems that the sky is about to change. How many people will die then? But that's good too. Let the kingdom of ghosts see the power of us money-smelling businessmen. It's not good to just sit and watch the sky."

The businessmen made a decision, and the next meeting became more relaxed, and they enjoyed tea in the conference room.

The country of waves.

In the courtyard, many flowers and leaves began to wither. Although Ichihime is not a sentimental girl, in this gloomy weather, she really has no mood to go out for work inspections.

And while dealing with affairs, she will not leave behind her own cultivation.

Because she is born with tailed beast-level chakra, Sharingan has reached the limit state of ordinary Sharingan, which allows Kazuhime to devote more time to the practice of ninjutsu, physical jutsu and illusion.

walked towards the training ground.

This house was once the residence of a certain nobleman in the Kingdom of Waves, but it was buried in full by Kado not long ago, and it is temporarily placed as a base in the Kingdom of Waves as the Kingdom of Ghosts. After buying this house, Kazuki doesn't need to live on the cruise ship all day, so that she can move around the land of waves, and this house can also hide more people.

Before arriving at the training ground, a ninja from the Oni Nation hurried over. Seeing his eager expression, it seemed that something had happened, otherwise he would not have shown such an expression.

"What happened, in such a hurry?"

Ichihime stopped on her way to the training ground and asked her subordinates.

The ghost country ninja had a respectful attitude and a serious face, and said, "Things are a little bit bad, miss, those gangsters are here to make trouble."

"It seems that taking down their two strongholds before still can't achieve the deterrent effect. Just find someone to drive them away. If it doesn't work, just find a place to deal with the troublesome gangsters. You don't need to report this kind of thing to me."

Yiji also had a cold look in her eyes, and she didn't like these gangsters at all.

"Miss, the situation is different this time."

The subordinate said with a wry smile.

"Huh? Different?"

Yiji paused for a moment.

"Yes, some workers on the construction site seem to have borrowed a loan, and the group of gangsters came to collect the debt. But even so, it affected the normal process of the factory. If there were no guards there, the two sides would probably have a fight."

This familiar sense of dj vu reminded Kazuhime of the debt collector of the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association.

It's just that compared with these gangsters, the debt collectors of the Chamber of Commerce are more professional and have a clear hierarchy and keep in mind the rules of debt collection.

"In other words, they are using legitimate reasons to find fault?"

Yiji frowned.

"Yes."

The ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts smiled helplessly. This time, those gangsters were smart. They knew that if they were caught, they would definitely be retaliated by the Kingdom of Ghosts. Therefore, they chose this method to achieve their goals, but they would not let the Kingdom of Ghosts catch them.

After all, they are now fighting under the banner of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, not the army of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

When it comes to money, all you need is the word 'legal'.

The gangsters collect debts from the debtors, and the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce seems to have no excuse to object, and even threatens with force, otherwise it will affect the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce that has been accumulated over the years.

"How many workers were involved?"

"One hundred and twenty seven."

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, but still reported the number.

The number of people involved in the incident made Yiji startled.

"One hundred and twenty-seven people? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"That's right, one hundred and twenty-seven people."

Ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts answered in the affirmative.

A total of 1,000 workers, more than one-tenth of them took loans from the gangsters. This ratio surprised Yiji.

"Why are there so many people?"

The people of this country are too poor, the economy is backward, and the unemployment rate remains high anywhere. They have no source of income, so they can only go to some banking institutions for loans. Or go abroad to find a way out.

Yiji was speechless, her frown slightly relaxed, but her mood still didn't improve.

"Collect the information of those workers who are in debt. If they have bad records, such as gambling and drug use, they will be eliminated directly and let them fend for themselves. Those who cannot survive and have to borrow money will stay for the time being."

Yiji didn't hesitate for too long, and gave a reply.

She knew that not all of the more than a thousand workers Dazner had assembled were honest and simple, and some of them were bad apples who had the bad habit of gambling and taking drugs.

This time, I just took this opportunity to get rid of these people, and win people's hearts by the way, so I can start the next step.

This time the gangsters made trouble for legitimate reasons, it is impossible to say that there was no sign from others behind them.

But now is not the best time to deal with the mastermind.

At least until the real 'alliance' is reached, it is not a good time.

"Dazna, is there really no other way?"

The workers on the construction site gathered together, and all of them looked at Dazner.

Because the other party has not only shown a lot of face to the employer, but also the leader of these workers.

Many things, they are willing to talk to Dazna.

Looking at the eyes converging on him, Dazna also felt a little helpless.

Really, he is just a part-time worker, not really a savior.

And he is very satisfied with his current life. Although it is a bit difficult, but work harder, it is not impossible to live.

The reason why these workers came to him is also very simple.

The gang found the workers among them and started demanding money owed.

Although the ghost country ninjas guarding the construction site temporarily evacuated those gangsters, it is not a problem to continue like this.

If they came directly to find trouble, those ninjas from the ghost country would naturally be willing to teach these people a lesson.

But they came here looking for a legitimate reason, and the ninjas of the ghost country evacuated those gangsters, and they just didn't want the construction on the construction site to be hindered.

As for other times, such as after those workers get off work, the ninjas of the ghost country will not manage it.

These are personal issues, not in the original cooperation contract.

Even if the workers are in trouble, the employer has no reason to come forward to solve it, at most it is a verbal adjustment.

Many of the workers who owed money were their friends, and some young people had no choice but to borrow loans because they could not live on.

Although there are various loopholes in the loan contract, they, who were already at a disadvantage, probably didn't think that much at the time.

Although they know how to read and write, their true cultural level is really not very high, that is, the degree to which they can make a living.

Honestly speaking, Dazner is willing to help these friends, and he doesn't want those gangsters to mess up his friends' families, and finally evaporate from the world.

But, can he really handle this kind of thing as a foreman?

"Sorry, I really don't know how to deal with this kind of thing."

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Dazna knew that his words would disappoint others, but his abilities were limited, and he didn't want to get into such trouble.

"But"

"Okay, Dazna has his own difficulties, let's not force him like this."

It was Dazner's old friend Keech who said a fair word.

"But in that case, those workers who owe money may be in danger..."

"If you owe money, you should pay it back."

"That's a gangster, they must have used coercive means..."

Although they knew that they were wronged first, but when they thought of the gangster power in the Kingdom of Waves, the workers also nodded their heads deeply.

Because of those gangsters, many families who should have been happy were ruined.

"I shouldn't have disturbed your conversation."

A voice came in, interrupting the communication between Dazna and the others.

After seeing who was coming, all the workers including Dazner were surprised.

"Miss Yiji?"

"it's me."

Ichihime walked over with a smile on her face, followed by two Jonin guards, who also followed.

The workers stood up and bowed to Kazuhime.

"Miss Yiji, you came to the construction site today..."

Dazner had some guesses, but he wasn't sure.

Yiji glanced at Dazna and said: "Such a big thing happened here at the construction site. As the general manager, I will definitely not be indifferent. I already know about those workers, whether it's due to debts or gangsters... Didn't they come today?"

"Hiding at home and not daring to come out, probably because they are afraid that the gangsters will trouble their families."

Dazner replied with a wry smile.

"Although it is excusable, this violates the content of the contract signed at the beginning, right?"

Yiji's words made all the workers present look nervous, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Yes Yes."

Dazner just followed Kazuki's words and didn't dare to refute.

"Don't worry, I don't mean to blame. In short, come with me, Dazna, after all, you are their leader, and as an employer, I don't want to use untrustworthy workers."

"yes."

Although he didn't know what Ichihime meant, Dazna took a deep breath and followed Ichiki's footsteps.

Arrived in a simple lounge next to the construction site, there were more than a dozen ninja guards outside, and inside the house, there were only Kazuki and Dazna.

Under Kazuhime's gesture, Dazna sat upright.

"Don't be too cautious here, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Anyway, this has caused trouble for you, Miss Yiji, and I apologize on their behalf. I didn't expect them to be so stupid as to borrow money from gangsters."

"When there is no way out, such extreme things will happen."

"Yes, but I'm still giving you trouble."

Dazner continued to apologize.

Ichihime saw that Dazna did not speak, and the atmosphere in the lounge became silent.

Soon, Yiji picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and spoke again: "Because there are a lot of workers involved, if there are too many mistakes, it will affect the normal construction of the factory. Therefore, I have already reported this matter to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, and there has already been a proposal for this matter."

"Proposal?"

"Yes. This is the information collected by my subordinates. You can have a look at it, and you can show it to the workers later."

Yiji took out a sealed file bag, which contained a large number of documents.

After tearing it apart, Dazner already knew what these intelligence documents were after reading the first few pages.

"these are"

Among the workers who owe money, many are addicted to gambling and drug use, and even work lazy on the construction site, planning to dawdle here to get money. I plan to remove these workers.

"What about the rest of the workers who owe money?"

"The loan contracts brought out by the gangsters have many loopholes, and some places are even illegal. We will arrange lawyers to go to court with them, but it is impossible not to give them a penny. So..."

"so"

Dazna looked at Kazuhime anxiously.

"They don't need to consider the issue of arrears. We will send people to solve it. But then they have to work hard for the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association for a period of thirty years."

"Thirty years?"

"The money they owe is discounted from their salary."

Ichihime said.

Dazner was surprised by this age, but also a little envious.

But soon he thought of another problem.

"However, among the workers who owe money, some are very old..."

"Let their heirs continue to work for the Chamber of Commerce. Until thirty years are complete."

"I see. I have no objection, those workers who owe money, it is not a big problem to appease them."

"I just hope they're worth it later."

Yi Ji slowly sipped the tea, and said in a calm voice.

Dazner didn't feel nervous at first either.

"Then I will continue to work."

"No hurry, apart from this matter, there is actually one more thing I hope Mr. Dazner can help with."

"Um?"

Seeing Kazuhime take out a file bag again, Dazna became confused.

Yiji just smiled and sat there without speaking.

Dazna was not easy to ask, so he had to open the file bag and extract the files inside.

There is a line of black bold font on the top, which is clearly reflected in Dazna's eyes, and it is particularly eye-catching.

International Workers' and Civilians' Cooperatives.
