Chapter 353 Assassination

Late November.

With the help of Dazna and other workers, the International Workers-Ministry Cooperative established by the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce in the country of Bo is temporarily on the right track.

Of course, the worker-minor cooperative established in the land of waves can only be regarded as the first branch to be established, and its headquarters will be established in the land of ghosts.

Even if it is a branch, the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce, which is backed by the military, has spent a lot of effort to establish the branch of the Workers and Civilians Cooperative in the Land of Waves.

Although it is a water test, it may become one of the decisive factors in the transformation of the ninja world in the distant future.

Different from other countries, Kazuhime, who received an orthodox education in the Oni Land since she was a child, understands the so-called mass line and the power of the masses.

The prosperous kingdom of ghosts seems to be led by her father Chiba Shiraishi, but the overall implementation steps are nothing more than a simple method of enlightening people's wisdom and emancipating their minds.

The country of ghosts' eclectic approach quickly recruited all kinds of talents from all over the ninja world, making these talents serve the country of ghosts wholeheartedly.

They, who are not ninjas, spent more than ten years building the poor and weak ghost country into a military power that is not weaker than the five major countries.

Economically, it will surpass any of the five major countries.

These assets will not be revealed on the bright side. It is a strategy that her father Qianye Shiraishi always likes to use.

Based on this kind of education, Kazuki is well aware of the hidden power of the so-called 'mass'.

Maybe ninety-nine percent of them are mediocre, but as long as the remaining one percent become elite talents, it is enough to bring about tremendous changes in the world.

In the face of such a torrent of change, maybe even the extraordinary power of the ninja will be replaced.

Choosing a balance and joint point between technology and ninja tradition is exactly the way that Ghost Kingdom will continue.

Instead of focusing on the cultivation of a very small number of ninjas day after day, it is better to envelop all human beings and make a thorough change from the foundation by casting a wide net.

How many ninjas are there in the five major countries?

Fifty thousand? One hundred thousand?

But among them, the special junin and junin accounted for less than ten percent.

This is the so-called number of elite ninjas.

But how many humans are there in the ninja world?

This number will be astonishingly large.

Even if the elites of all mankind account for less than one percent of the total number of human beings, in terms of number, they are far from comparable to the ninjas of the five major countries.

Collecting the wisdom of one percent of the elites to mobilize ninety-nine percent of the human labor force, the value created is a height that is probably unattainable in any era in the ninja world so far.

To this end, the Kingdom of Waves is a beginning.

The International Workers-Civilian Cooperative was proposed based on this ideathe human community organization.

This is by no means the end.

Whether the ghost kingdom is destroyed, the seed has been produced.

Human beings who have obtained the fire will only rush forward one after another.

In the face of such a will, death also becomes extremely small.

Using a small country as the base, it forms a tendency to encircle the big country, and at the right time, it crushes the very small part of the 'elite' system in the past.

The Land of Rain is in civil war.

The kingdom of ghosts has begun to intervene.

The Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Earth are eyeing each other.

The Kingdom of the Wind is watching from the sidelines.

Although it is not as perfect as planned, the current situation can still be controlled.

Ichihime compared the current ninja world structure, and began to formally start the affairs of the wave country.

Building a factory is just a cover. Her real purpose has always been to set up a worker-citizen cooperative to unite the workers and farmers in the Kingdom of Waves.

The people without unity are just mobs, and the people who form an organization will form an extremely terrifying torrent that pushes the wheel of the times forward.

Whether the power of the people is strong is different from being dispersed or organized.

Now it's considered winter. The country of Waves, which is already very humid, has become colder after entering winter.

The construction progress of the factory is relatively slow compared with October.

Occasionally, Yiji would go over to greet her relatives and bring some condolences, which made the workers headed by Dazna feel grateful.

Currently, the workers' cooperatives have the largest number of workers.

There are more than 1,300 registered workers.

This is Dazner's credit.

Followed by farmers, there are about 300 registered farmers, a small number.

However, Yiji is not dissatisfied with this, and these numbers can be regarded as an extremely impressive force.

This is the number of people recruited under the malicious suppression of the daimyo of the land of waves.

If there is no daimyo from the Kingdom of Waves to hinder, the number of people recruited will be even larger.

The reason is also very simple. Among them, the country of fire is behind the inspiration, noticing the potential harm of the workers' cooperatives, and wanting to nip the danger in the bud. Compared with the "new era" that the ghost country wants, the old-style countries headed by the five major countries do not need the wisdom of the people, they only need them to obey and be dominated.

If you want to open such an opening in the Kingdom of Waves, the road will undoubtedly be very difficult.

Blood, battle, collision of old and new worlds, will eventually form the most brutal war.

"By the end of this year, the worker-minor cooperative should be able to recruit 3,000 people."

Looking at the names of the personnel on the roster, Kazuki sat in an office with only simple desks and chairs, and made such a rough estimate.

There are currently 1,600 people who have joined. As long as we can win people's hearts with the most simple interests, it will not be difficult to double the number of members by the end of the year.

After all, this is also a pilot practice.

Currently, the worker-minority cooperatives in the Land of Waves don't have any ability to feed back to the Land of Ghosts. All the materials need to be taken out from the pockets of the Kingdom of Ghosts to supply the Land of Waves.

Those who join are all the lowest-level workers and farmers. They rely on their barely self-sufficient production capacity, and it is already hard work just to survive, let alone create additional wealth for the cooperative.

However, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as we overcome this difficulty, the road ahead will be much easier.

Next, according to the number of people and the situation facing the country of Wave, how to invest and how much to invest will need to be calculated at the headquarters.

Whether it is a struggle to emancipate the mind or a violent war between people, it is a very money-consuming behavior.

The reason why the Kingdom of Ghosts dares to intervene in the internal situation of several small countries at the same time is because its own economic foundation is solid enough, otherwise it would be impossible to adopt a strategy of multi-line warfare.

"According to the progress, it is not a problem to recruit 3,000 workers and peasants by the end of the year. By next year, it seems that not only factory construction, but also other industries need to be established, and the labor force of idle workers and peasants will be concentrated."

Cardo said so.

This is also a matter of course.

The Kingdom of Ghosts is not a charity, and it is impossible to give blindly.

If these workers and peasants cannot create wealth that belongs to human beings, then there is no need for the ghost country to invest.

Striving to spend every sum of money wisely is the goal of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"How is the public opinion?"

Ichihime has been training ninjas in the stronghold recently, and doesn't pay much attention to outside information.

"Basically under control. After all, what we give is real benefits. With a preferential policy, the materials and money in the hands of workers and peasants who join the cooperative are exchanged. Although the method is a bit stupid and consumes a lot of funds, the initial results are undoubtedly significant."

Using money to clear the way is the most simple and crude way to win people's hearts.

But again, such methods of wooing are very low-level, and they are also very easy to be destroyed.

Using money to maintain the system is like the mercenary model of the ninja village, which has more than enough self-preservation and a serious lack of expansion.

"Just continue at this pace. We are not the ones who are in a hurry now."

The current situation is somewhat similar to the previous War of the Kingdom of Winds.

The kingdom of ghosts belongs to the attacking side, and every step is made steadily and steadily, not greedy for success, but seeking progress in a steady way, as long as it maintains its advantage and crushes it with absolute momentum.

Whether it is a competition for military power or economic foundation, compared with the current Fire Country, the Ghost Country has sufficient confidence.

The current Nation of Fire is only based on the victory of the Third Ninja World War, barely maintaining the throne of the largest country.

But with such a flashy number one throne, Kazuhime only saw the afterglow of the Kingdom of Fire's decline.

And as the kingdom of ghosts continues to grow stronger, the so-called 'number one' is just the pride of the old times.

As for other countries, the previous Five Shadow Conference has exposed the many contradictions within the five major countries.

What the kingdom of ghosts is afraid of is the five powers that are united, not the five powers that are scattered.

"Yes, as the eldest lady said, we are not the ones who are anxious now. Just wait for them to expose their flaws."

Cado pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, showing a sinister smile.

"Worker-minister cooperative? Is Huo Daming worried about such things?"

Located in a castle-style mansion, big merchants from isolated islands gather here.

The meeting room is very large and the decoration is very gorgeous.

The castle built with a huge sum of money, both in appearance and interior, reflects the extraordinary status of the castle owner.

Although it has been decided to completely wipe out the forces belonging to the kingdom of ghosts within the territory of the kingdom of waves, there is still no accurate conclusion on how to do it and how to implement the plan.

Because the will of the merchants has not been unified.

Half of the merchants intend to drive the Kingdom of Demons out of the Kingdom of Waves through normal business competition.

The other half of the businessmen intend to use radical methods to adopt efficient and direct assassination plans to deter the kingdom of ghosts.

Such arguments have always been the focus of discussions among businessmen.

Especially the Fire Nation urging them to solve the worker-citizen cooperative established by the Ghost Nation in the Nation of Waves as soon as possible, which made the discussion among the merchants more intense.

"I don't think there is any need to worry about this kind of thing. With our strength, we don't need to be too radical. We can directly launch a commercial war against the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, and we can achieve our goal."

"But this will take a long time. We don't have much time to waste now. No one knows how the civil war in the Land of Rain will end. If the Kingdom of Ghosts successfully draws most of the energy of the Kingdom of Fire in the Kingdom of Rain, then for us, our actions will be extremely passive."

Although the interests of the Merchants Alliance on the isolated island are not completely consistent with those of the Fire Nation, they are currently a cooperative relationship after all.

If the Kingdom of Fire falls into a disadvantage in the struggle against the Kingdom of Ghosts, then their plan to turn the Kingdom of Waves into a second paradise island will undoubtedly end in failure.

"Not only the Land of Fire, but the Land of Earth is also opposing the Kingdom of Ghosts' entry into the Land of Rain. I think it's better to use a stable commercial warfare method to expel the forces of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the Land of Waves. It's too radical, and maybe it will be severely beaten by the Kingdom of Ghosts like the Kingdom of Wind a few months ago."

Not all businessmen like to take risks.

The plan has finally reached this point, and the best way is to stabilize one's own advantages.

Using methods such as assassination, although the goal can be achieved quickly, but regardless of success or failure, the follow-up may cause more serious problems.

"No, normal business wars are progressing too slowly, and the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce is not a small chamber of commerce. Once a commercial war starts, it will not only be limited to the country of Waves, and it will easily lead to a stalemate."

Businessmen hold their own opinions. Although they all contribute to the alliance, they will also disagree with each other due to differences of opinion.

"So, one group focuses on commercial warfare, and the other group plans assassination plans. How about implementing the two strategies together?"

Finally, a businessman had no choice but to speak and expressed his opinion.

There are not a few businessmen with radical ideas, and it is obviously unrealistic to persuade these people to give up in a short time.

It is easy to delay the good opportunity if the debate continues like this.

The kingdom of ghosts has begun to press forward. If their forces cannot be unified, they will be defeated by the kingdom of ghosts.

Only when they unite can they show the power that makes the kingdom of ghosts afraid.

This is why they don't worry that the Ghost Country will use force to destroy them.

The chain of interests behind them is intricate, involving the underground black market, involving many countries, and even officials from some big countries have shares. If the kingdom of ghosts wants to use force to eliminate them, it will be tantamount to declaring war on many countries in the ninja world, and they will be truly isolated internationally.

As long as the decision-makers of the Kingdom of Mortal Ghosts are smarter, they will never use violence stupidly.

Therefore, the assassination plan of the radical businessman is not without merit.

"Can the two strategies be carried out together? This is a good way. However, I declare in advance that if you want to carry out an assassination, this girl should not be killed. The main method is to capture her alive. She is Chiba Kazuhime, the daughter of Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri. If she is accidentally killed, the follow-up issues will be very difficult to deal with."

A businessman takes out a photo and puts it on the table for other businessmen to see.

"That is to say, she should be used as a bargaining chip in the end, right?"

The businessmen in charge of the assassination plan looked at the girl in the photo with interest.

"I don't know if there is any awakening of Sharingan? After all, this is a rare blood succession boundary, but even if she is caught, there is no way to keep her for my own use. It's a pity."

Many businessmen showed regret.

They are all frequent visitors to the Lone Island Arena, and they have recruited many characteristic ninjas.

Especially ninjas who have mastered secret techniques and the ability to limit blood succession are their favorite type of ninja.

Because secret art and blood succession limit means special, and special means powerful.

Combined with their wealth, sooner or later, the merchant alliance on the isolated island will become a super-large force that controls the structure of the ninja world, and there is no need to look at the big powers.

It is like the country of ghosts that is rising rapidly today.

It's just that Ichihime has a special status, her parents are ninjas who are famous in the ninja world, they can't take it for their own use, and they can't kill it hastily, otherwise it will attract crazy revenge from the ghost kingdom.

And by capturing Yiji alive, they will have the confidence to bargain with the ghost country, so that there is room for things to turn around, and they will not be at a disadvantage when negotiating with the ghost country.

"Then, the assassination plan will be handed over to you. Prioritize getting rid of Kado beside her, as well as the worker representative Dazna. I believe that as long as she loses her ostensible spokesperson, she will have to face us in person."

"Don't worry about this, this time we will dispatch our elite ninjas to ensure that the plan is foolproof."

"The fire daimyo over there..."

"Is it a worker-minor cooperative? The mob gathers together, and it will always be just a mob. As long as we expel the kingdom of ghosts from the land of waves as soon as possible, there must be nothing to say to Huo daimyo."

Different from the attitude of the daimyo of the Land of Fire, businessmen think that workers and peasants are just a mob.

Although some businessmen think it is inappropriate, most businessmen don't think that the worker-civilian cooperative society has any weight in the next game, and they think it is unnecessary to take care of it.

The most important thing right now is to expel the Kingdom of Ghosts from the Kingdom of Waves, rather than wasting energy on a group of mobs.

"Dad, it looks like our family can get through this winter very easily."

Dazna's home, daughter Tsunami said happily to Dazna.

Because Dazna joined the workers-minor cooperative, his family quickly received feedback from the worker-minor cooperative on preferential policies for member families.

For example, purchasing materials or buying living materials with money, all family members who join the cooperative will enjoy internal discount benefits. And if it is a family with life problems, the cooperative society will distribute the necessary living materials free of charge, but relatively, it needs labor to compensate, and it will also indirectly solve the distress of unemployment for poor families.

This is a real discount, and Tsunami, who has been worrying about how to spend this winter, can't help smiling.

Dazna picked up the bottle and took a sip of the wine, then wiped the drink that accidentally dripped from the corner of his mouth, and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Yiji really planned to redeem these preferential policies. I always feel that she cares more about the lives of us low-level people than our daimyo."

At the beginning, Dazna just wanted to be grateful to Kazuki, and led some workers to join the so-called worker-minner cooperative.

But with the actual implementation of the preferential policies of the cooperatives, Dazner does not need to personally promote them, and the workers who have benefited have already begun to actively promote them for the worker-minor cooperatives.

This gave Dazna the illusion that Kazuhime was their name in the Land of Waves.

No...even a daimyo, it is impossible to spend money in such a bold way.

For Dazna, as long as the tax is not increased, it is time to thank the nobles for their mercy.

"It would be nice if Ichihime-san becomes the great name of our country. What do you think, Dad?"

Tsunami said jokingly.

"Tsunami, you really dare to think. If this kind of words are heard by others, it will be quite troublesome."

Dazna looked helplessly at his daughter.

"Understood, I won't talk nonsense."

"Compared to this, I think it's better for you to find another husband to rely on. If I can't work in the future, at least there are people at home to support me."

Dazner said intentionally or unintentionally.

Tsunami glared at Dazna.

"Dad, I don't want to think about this kind of thing now. I usually have to take care of Yi Na, how can I have time to find a man? Besides, who would look at a widow like me who has a dead husband?"

Although Tsunami is not yet thirty, she still has the ability to have children, but her status as a widow is destined not to be accepted by many men.

Tsunami has already made preparations for widowhood in the future.

As for the issue of remarriage, Tsunami has long given up hope.

Dazna smiled wryly, seeing that his daughter was so determined, he no longer mentioned the matter of making her consider remarrying.

"Speaking of which, where is Iraq?"

Darzner asked.

"He went out with friends, he will be back before dinner."

Tsunami replied.

"Children are really carefree."

"You're still young after all."

"In another two years, he will be able to follow me and learn some simple crafts to make a living. The things passed down from the ancestors must not be broken in my generation."

Dazner said slightly drunkenly.

Tsunami nodded, tidied up the messy things in the room, and said to Dazna: "Dad, I'll cook in the past, and drink less wine."

After finishing speaking, she left the room and walked towards the kitchen.

After Tsunami left, Dazna sat in the room for a while, then stood up, wanting to move his body.

Suddenly, there was a chirping sound from the half-open window, Dazna suddenly woke up from his slightly drunken state, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the window.

Accompanied by the sound just now, the window was opened at some point, and a black shadow approached like a gust of wind, making Dazna's eyes widen in horror.

Ninjas!

Although he didn't wear a forehead protector, the opponent held Kunai in his hand, and his body moved flexibly, allowing Dazna to instantly determine the identity of the opponent.

Because he was too frightened and this was the first time he encountered such a thrilling scene, Dazna forgot to dodge. Seeing that Kunai was about to smear his throat and end his life, a bolt of lightning shot out from nowhere and covered the whole body of the ninja through Kunai.

"ah!"

The ninja screamed in pain, Leiden paralyzed his body, unable to move, and lay down on the ground.

"Dad, what happened, why did I hear someone screaming in the room?"

Tsunami heard the screams in the room, ran into the room quickly, and was surprised to see the ninja who was paralyzed by lightning and fell powerlessly to the ground.

"This is"

"Don't worry, ma'am, these trash fish can't hurt you at all."

A soft voice resounded in the room.

It was a four-legged cub that was pitch black and looked like a feline creature. On top of its head, there was a single horn that was different from ordinary creatures, and dense blue electric light gathered on it.

Raising one forelimb, he greeted Darzna and Tsunami in a friendly manner.

It is Leiming Wan.

"Demon, youkai!?"

Dazna looked at Lei Mingmaru who was talking, and easily thought of the existence of monsters.

"It's not a monster, I'm a psychic beast, and I'm currently working for the eldest lady. Forget it, I'll talk about the details later. There are still a few guys who are peeping here. I'll go and deal with it."

Lei Mingwan turned around, his limbs firmly grasped the ground, the chakra in his body started to run, and the electric current on the horn quickly covered his whole body, covering his whole body in electric light.

Subsequently, Lei Ming Wan suddenly disappeared from the room without warning, and a weak current remained on the floor, proving that Lei Ming Wan had existed there before.

Outside the house, there were screams one after another, and Dazna could even smell the **** smell gradually spreading in the air.

About half a minute later, the screams outside the house finally stopped, Lei Mingwan jumped into the room from the window as if nothing had happened, fresh human blood remained on his paws.
