Chapter 375 Cooperation

The noisy civilians outside made Namiya very upset.

He couldn't figure out what these civilians were arguing about there. You must know that he was the name of the country of Bo, the ruler of the country of Bo, and all this land belonged to him. In his opinion, lending the land to these civilians for farming was already a matter of mercy.

Turns out this group wanted more.

This made the daimyo of the land of waves very puzzled, why some civilians became irritable after closing down the worker-minner cooperative established by the land of ghosts.

Although it caused a lot of turmoil, the Namiya Daimyo, who holds the dominant power, will not be afraid of such a meaningless riot.

What combat power can a group of civilians with farm tools have?

Sending a well-equipped government soldier over there is enough to suppress it.

However, thinking of the signal from the Kingdom of Fire, it seems that he intends to calm down the rebellious sentiment of the people and not give the Kingdom of Ghosts any opportunity to take advantage of it.

Regarding this, he also ordered to open some granaries and distribute them to the people under his rule free of charge.

As a result, I got free food... I came to make trouble again.

This made the daimyo of the land of waves very shameless.

"Why did this group of untouchables come to make trouble again? Didn't I order the granary to be opened in the morning?"

Damyo Namiya was very displeased with the result of the civilians coming to make trouble.

But the Fire Nation was an existence he couldn't afford to provoke, so he had no choice but to follow the order.

Anyway, as long as some food is distributed for free and some small favors are given, the resistance of this group of civilians will soon subside.

But this result seems to be a little different from what he imagined.

The recruited servant glanced at the Namikoku daimyo, hesitated, and quickly lowered his head.

"What the **** is going on? If you don't say it, your head will be ready to move."

The Namanokuni daimyo saw the valet's dodging gaze, and immediately became serious.

Having said this, the valet shuddered for a moment before saying tremblingly:

"Your Excellency Daming, the food distributed to the civilians outside is mixed with a lot of inedible stones, and it is filled in."

"Doped with stones? What's going on?"

The daimyo of the Land of Waves was slightly taken aback.

Soon, the daimyo of Namanokuni understood that although the order to distribute food had been conveyed, the handling of this matter was placed on the subordinate officials.

This kind of trivial matter is not worthy of his name to come forward in person, so it will naturally be handled by relevant officials.

And his subordinate officials are all nobles from the Kingdom of Waves.

It must be that after he opened the granary, the nobles detained a lot of them privately, and then mixed them with stones to make up for them and distributed them to the common people.

Guessing the cause and effect of the name of the land of waves, his face suddenly became gloomy.

He was not angry because the nobles withheld food and abused civilians.

The reason why he was angry was because the subordinate officials changed his decision privately without communicating with him, and violated his name.

"Call me all the officials who deal with this matter, and I will inquire about the situation myself."

Na no country daimyo gave this order.

"The group of people outside..."

"Let the soldiers drive away all these untouchables. If they can't, they will be put in prison and locked up for ten days and a half months, so that they can have a long memory!"

The daimyo of the Land of Waves had a stern face and was very decisive.

"yes."

The valet didn't dare to be negligent, and directly exited the room to convey the order of Namiya Daimyo.

Not long after, the noise of disturbances outside did disappear, and the daimyo of the land of wave was also relieved, and the ear was finally quieter.

If these guys are allowed to continue to make trouble, his nap will be a little restless.

About half an hour later, the valet led several officials into the room where the daimyo was.

After bringing the officials here, the valet voluntarily withdrew to make room.

The Namanokuni daimyo sat there, tightly holding the folding fan in his hand, and glanced at the three officials with a cold expression.

"Why is it like this?"

The three officials knew what Nanamokuni daimyo was referring to, because the influence of the worker-minor cooperative matter had not been eliminated, and now that this kind of thing happened again, it was obvious that a huge anger was brewing in the daimyo's heart.

An official took the initiative to stand up and respectfully said to the daimyo of the land of waves: "Your Excellency, we are thinking about the future of the land of waves."

The daimyo of the land of waves frowned slightly, and did not speak hastily, but waited for the next step.

The official continued: "I would like to ask, Your Excellency, have you completely surrendered to the Nation of Fire?"

The daimyo of the land of wave squinted his eyes and looked at the three officials. They were nobles from different families in the land of wave, and they had a very close marriage relationship with the daimyo he belonged to.

"No, I have an equal cooperative relationship with the fire country daimyo."

Regarding this kind of statement, not to mention the three officials in front of him, the daimyo of the land of waves himself does not believe it.

From the name of the daimyo, he is equal to the daimyo of the country of fire.

However, the national powers of the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wave are not equal.

This also made the Land of Waves always at an absolute disadvantage when facing the behemoth of the Land of Fire.

However, in order to maintain the majesty of his own daimyo, the Namanokuni daimyo had no choice but to say such words against his will.

"Then, we can't completely act according to the meaning of the name of the land of fire."

The official is righteous and firm in tone.

"What do you mean by that?"

The daimyo of the land of waves pondered slightly.

"Your Excellency, you can say without hesitation that the current situation in the Kingdom of Bo is very bad. There was a Kingdom of Fire before, and a Kingdom of Ghosts later. And our Kingdom of Wave is a weak country. If we get involved in this dispute, the Kingdom of Wave will be doomed forever."

"However, according to the meaning of the fire country daimyo, the ghost country seems to intend to infiltrate the people of the wave country to disrupt the order of the wave country, so as to coerce the daimyo government and obey their orders."

The Namanokuni daimyo expressed his concerns.

"Then, can the Kingdom of Ghosts take any action?"

"Workers-Minist Cooperative..."

"But after the seizure, the Kingdom of Ghosts just argued with reason, and did not bully the weak. Instead, it sent diplomatic officials to negotiate."

said the official.

Daimyo of the Land of Waves thought about it carefully, and this is really the case.

The worker-citizen cooperative established by the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce was seized. Officials of the Kingdom of Ghosts only used peaceful diplomatic means to negotiate and gave the Kingdom of Waves considerable respect, instead of directly dictating the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Waves like the Kingdom of Fire, and letting the Kingdom of Waves act according to the arrangements of the Kingdom of Fire.

The Kingdom of Demons is pursuing international diplomatic equality, while the Kingdom of Fire uses its own powerful force to force the Kingdom of Wave to agree.

The diplomatic attitudes of the two are the same.

"So, all of this is likely to be a series of conspiracies and tricks launched by the Nation of Fire against our Nation of Waves. And, think again, Your Excellency, is the Nation of Ghosts closer to us, or the Nation of Fire closer to us? If the two countries turn against each other, which side will pose the greater threat to the Nation of Waves?"

The official tried to seduce him.

The daimyo of the land of waves pondered for a while, and he also recognized these words in his heart.

"Your Excellency, the Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce in the Oni Land is spread all over the ninja world. They develop markets in the Land of Waves, which is just their consistent business strategy. As for infiltrating the people and threatening the rule of the Daimyo Prefecture, it is obviously nonsense. Because only by supporting you, Your Excellency, the Shion Flower Association can gain more benefits. Merchants are doing business, not charity."

"However, they have done a lot of charity to help benefit the people..."

"It will be more beneficial to kill the pigs after they are fattened up. The Kingdom of Ghosts doesn't want to go fishing. In the commercial field, the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association obviously understands the truth of making money better than other chambers of commerce, and they have always done so. The most important point is that we are too close to the daimyo of the Land of Fire, and at the same time rejected most of the cooperation projects in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Hearing this official's answer, Namiya Daimyo suddenly felt enlightened.

Indeed.

The Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association of the Ghost Country came to the Kingdom of Waves not far away. It is obviously impossible to remotely control the Kingdom of Waves thousands of miles away. Therefore, doing business is the only goal of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce.

The other party is a businessman, and has a very good reputation in the ninja world, and has never done anything like buying or selling. What we want is win-win cooperation.

The Kingdom of Waves did not give the other party this opportunity, but mixed with the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Ghosts, which has a very bad relationship with the Kingdom of Fire, can only start from the people of the Kingdom of Waves, slowly opening up the market of the Kingdom of Waves.

It's all because the Kingdom of Waves didn't give the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce a chance to prove its innocence. Instead, it continued to suppress the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce's industry in the Land of Waves in accordance with the Fire Nation's instructions.

"This is the truth of the matter. Your Excellency, if we assist the Nation of Fire to drive away the Aster Flower Merchant Association, then the Nation of Fire will be more unscrupulous in attacking the internal affairs of the Land of Waves. On the contrary, retaining the Aster Flower Merchant Association and relying on the Aster Flower Merchant Association of the Kingdom of Ghosts is enough to become a great help to restrict the Nation of Fire from interfering in the internal affairs of the Land of Waves."

"What does that have to do with the fact that you mix stones in your grain?"

If this matter is not handled properly, the group of untouchables will definitely come and make trouble again.

Although the prison cells in Daming Mansion are very large, it is impossible to arrest all the troublemakers.

Sometimes, you still have to consider the emotions of these untouchables.

"Because we want to send a signal to the Aster Flower Merchant Association."

"Signal?"

"The Land of Waves is not completely bound to the Nation of Fire. As long as we send this signal to the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, I believe they will understand our intentions and will take the next step. The Fire Nation daimyo wants us to calm down the rioting sentiments of the people. We can't resist on the surface, but we can use practical means to deceive the world and secretly unite with the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce. They even help the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce to gain more reputation among the people."

"Isn't this going to be a problem?"

The Namanokuni daimyo is a little worried.

"Your Excellency, do you think that group of untouchables can unite and have the power to threaten us? The Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce, a businessman who does business. As long as we are willing to join forces with the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association, they will not mess with those untouchables again."

The official smiled confidently.

This is a multiple-choice question where you can choose the correct answer without thinking.

Because of cooperating with the Daming House and nobles, the Aster Flower Merchant Association can gain more profits in the Kingdom of Waves, just like the Merchants Alliance on an isolated island.

On the contrary, if you cooperate with those untouchables, you will not only make no money, but you may even get money back.

A group of untouchables who can only plow the land and do some rough work, what can they get from them?

Officials who traveled thousands of miles to the Kingdom of Waves to do business, and have worked closely with countless merchants, did not believe that the Aster Flower Merchant Association came here to do charity wholeheartedly.

The reason why they show kindness to the untouchables is that the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association is taking a long time to catch big fish. They are more greedy than 90% of the merchants in the ninja world.

Na no Kuno daimyo nodded.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. If those untouchables come to make trouble again, I will send someone to drive them out, and let the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association appease them, so as to restrain the Fire Nation."

"Your Excellency Daimyo is wise, then, we still have important things to do, so we will leave first."

The three officials had joy in their eyes and exited the room.

After exiting the room, one of the officials said with a smile: "In this way, the task assigned to us by Mr. Cardo is completed. I didn't expect to get a reward of 100 million taels just for saying such a thing. It is too easy to get money like this."

Another official said with a smile: "Of course, as long as our defense line is opened, the current losses of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce can be squeezed out of those untouchables."

Regarding this, the three officials did not care.

On the contrary, the harder the Aster Flower Merchants will harvest, the more 'protection fees' will be paid to them.

Anyway, they will never be the ones who suffer, and the life and death of the untouchables is out of their consideration.

"The country of fire..."

"Let's fool around for a while. When the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Guild runs out of oil and water for us to fish, it won't be too late to reunite with the Land of Fire."

Although it is not clear why the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Ghosts are interested in the land under their feet at the same time, this does not prevent them, a group of local snakes, from using their authority to profit from these two countries.

Whether it is the country of fire or the country of ghosts, whatever comes out of the fingers of any country can make them, a group of little nobles, very rich.

Late, January 21st.

The harsh winter has not yet passed, and frost and fog are still falling in the hidden land of the Thunder Kingdom.

It can be seen from a distance that the dark mountain range located in the depths of frost and fog is the famous Yunlei Gorge of Yunyin.

Yunlei Gorge, which was originally full of thunder in the sky, also died down in this season, and fell silent.

The buildings of Yunyin Village are located among the mountains and valleys, and the terrain is very strange, giving people a shocking feeling.

When Shiraishi came here, it was one o'clock in the afternoon.

The taste of the year has not yet passed completely. Most of the Yunyin ninjas are in their leisure time on vacation, spending time with their families.

Only a small number of Yunyin ninjas are still changing shifts, maintaining the huge war machine of Yunyin Village. Even during the Chinese New Year, we are busy and rarely have time to rest.

Because it was a secret visit to Yunyin, neither Baishi nor the senior management of Yunyin Village held any reception ceremony with much fanfare.

That way, people will only know that the kingdom of ghosts and the kingdom of thunder are closely united again.

If the Fire Nation knew about it in advance, many changes would probably occur.

Whether it is the Kingdom of Ghosts or the Kingdom of Thunder, it is not enough to use the power of one family to completely pull the Kingdom of Fire down from the altar.

Both parties are well aware of this.

It became the reason for the further cooperation this time.

Just sending ninja troops to garrison the border, there is no way to put more pressure on them.

What's more, Konoha Ninja Village also has a plan to deal with it.

The interval between the second Ninja World War and the third Ninja World War was very short. It can be said that the participating countries basically did not rest, and they broke out continuously, making the big countries participating in the war exhausted.

The Kingdom of Thunder finally withdrew from the quagmire of war, so it was naturally unwilling to start the Fourth Ninja World War.

Then, the way to break the game is particularly important.

It was Jonin Darui, the confidant of the Fourth Raikage, who greeted Shiraishi.

The other party is the blood-successor Genkai Arashi Dunninja, who also inherited the black thunder ability of the third generation of Raikage. Although he is young, he can be considered a young man in front of Shiraishi, a ninja senior, but his strength is second to none among Yunyin Shangnin.

Letting such a Jonin come to greet him in person, it also shows the respect that the Fourth Raikage has for him.

Anyway, now is also the honeymoon period for the cooperation between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Thunder. As military leaders, the two sides naturally have a close relationship in private.

Since the days of cooperation, the top leaders of the two countries have generally been satisfied.

Darui took Shiraishi to a private meeting room in the Raikage Building. This is a separate meeting room used by the fourth generation of Raikage to receive distinguished guests. The space is not large, but it seems to be extremely important.

The only person who follows Baishi is the clone of the wind, the Tianyu girl. For Baishi, only the Tianyu girl is enough to protect him on the bright side.

And on his body, there is always a yin part, a shadow dancer.

With these two avatars as guards, Baishi traveled lightly from the ghost country and arrived at Yunyin Village as quickly as possible to determine the next step of cooperation as soon as possible.

"Please wait a moment, Lord Raikage will come later."

The one who received Shiraishi in the conference room was Kumoin Kami Shinobi Azabui.

The fourth generation Raikage's personal secretary, mastered a very rare space-time ninjutsu - Tensend Jutsu, in the case of enough chakra, it can instantly transfer objects to the place you want, without setting up a mark in advance. From the point of view of transporting resources, it is probably more convenient than Konoha's Flying Thunder God Technique.

Flying the Art of Thunder God to transfer materials, you need to set a mark in advance, otherwise you will not be able to transfer.

However, Yunyin's Tiansong technique can easily do this. In the past, Yunyin Village used this ninjutsu to trick Ayane once.

As a ninja village in a big country, Yunyin's background is naturally good.

Shiraishi nodded, but didn't answer, but quietly waited for the fourth Raikage to arrive in the conference room.

Mabui was also meticulous and stood aside with Darui, and had no desire to talk to Shiraishi.

About five minutes later, after Shiraishi drank half a cup of tea, the door of the meeting room was pushed open.

"Sorry, I wasted a little time practicing in Yunlei Gorge, didn't I keep you waiting?"

The fourth generation of Raikage was shirtless, with a towel to wipe sweat on his body, and walked in just like that.

A body of strong dark muscles, looks very powerful.

Just by looking directly, you can feel the powerful chakra rushing towards your face.

monster.

With a chakra as huge as a tailed beast, it is hard to believe that this is something humans can do.

Whether it is the third generation of Raikage or the fourth generation of Raikage, their physique and chakra amount are all abnormal.

"It's okay, I didn't wait long."

Shiraishi replied with a smile.

After Baishi finished speaking, Azabui touched his forehead with a look of headache, and said, "Well, Master Raikage, it's very disrespectful for you to behave like this in front of ladies. Can't you put on your clothes properly?"

If this goes on like this, what will the guests who come from afar think?

Would they think their Raikage-sama has weird muscle exhibitionism?

"You are too long-winded, Mabui, I rushed here from Yunlei Gorge in the shortest possible time, so I don't have time to tidy up. Besides, for ninjas, everything is simple. Today's topic is not about this, is it?"

The fourth generation of Raikage ignored Azabui's serious lesson, and sat in his own seat.

Mabuyi sighed and stopped talking.

The Fourth Raikage comforted Mabui, looked straight into Shiraishi's eyes, and said, "Then, let's start this meeting officially now. As far as I know, the current situation in the Oni Land is not good. The Wind Land in the south is about to move. Thousands of Sand Ninja gathered in Kazami Castle, intending to harm the Oni Land."

"In this game, the position of the Nation of Wind is irrelevant. Even if they join forces with the Nation of Fire, they will weigh the pros and cons and consider the consequences of another conflict with the Nation of Ghosts. They dare not act rashly without certainty."

The fourth generation of Raikage doesn't know whether Shiraishi's words are out of arrogance, or whether the other party has a mysterious backhand, which can easily solve the hidden danger of the Land of Winds.

Therefore, Fourth Raikage frowned and said: "So, what can we gain by continuing to cooperate with your ghost country?"

"The Kingdom of Fire gave up the position of the leader of the Five Great Nations, and Konoha gave up the position of the leader of Ninja Village. The Kingdom of Ghosts will fully support the Kingdom of Thunder and Yun Yin."

Baishi directly gave this condition.

The Kingdom of Thunder is a powerful country with a strong economic and military background. The only thing that is not satisfied with the status quo is its international political influence, which is always overwhelmed by the Kingdom of Fire.

The so-called diplomacy is to see what the other party lacks and what you can give.

What is missing in the Land of Thunder is clear at a glance, Shiraishi only needs to prescribe the right medicine.

Fourth Raikage considered Shiraishi's proposal.

It is true that the Kingdom of Thunder has initially joined the camp of the Kingdom of Ghosts to jointly oppress the Kingdom of Fire, but the cooperation is not close enough.

How far the Kingdom of Ghosts can support the Kingdom of Thunder is also unknown.

But now it is replaced by "full support", the meaning is completely different.

The status of the Kingdom of Ghosts has been quite stable. The war in the Kingdom of Wind, provoking the underground black market, playing games in the Kingdom of Waves, the Kingdom of Rain, and the Kingdom of Fire, and destroying isolated islands all prove the military, political and diplomatic capabilities of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"What is the kingdom of ghosts going to do?"

Fourth Raikage was silent for a moment, then asked suddenly.

Although the decline of the Nation of Fire and Konoha is a fact, it is still recognized in the ninja world that the Nation of Fire is the top of the five major countries, and Konoha's influence is also above Yunyin Village.

Thunder Country and Yun Yin want to take the top position, but they still lack a crucial opportunity.

At this time, it is necessary to severely attack the external forces of the Kingdom of Fire, so that its influence will be greatly weakened internationally. It provides a perfect entry point for the Kingdom of Thunder and Yin Yun.

Baishi took out a scroll from his arms, and said calmly: "The plan for the kingdom of ghosts has been drawn up. As long as the kingdom of thunder cooperates with the actions of the kingdom of ghosts, within three months, before the end of this spring, the kingdom of fire and Konoha will be completely defeated."
