Chapter 163 Mr. Itachi
What a great opportunity.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very hesitant. He went to Black Zetsu as an undercover agent just for his obsession with protecting Konoha.
He does not quite agree with Noah and others' idea of burning the world.
After living for so many years, no one has any hope for world peace, and the same goes for Ōnoki.
The old man's worldview has long been formed.
The fate of the ninja, what the ninja is like, and what the world is like all have fixed trajectories.
The fear brought by the unknown is even more unbearable.
This time I came to the Rain Country in person, saw the development of the Rain Country in all aspects, and saw the Daimyoji who was like a puppet, and finally I understood a little bit.
Kakashi wanted to make the Land of Fire like this, so that everyone could have books to read and food to eat.
It is great, but it is also dangerous if Konoha gets involved.
Seeing that the other party was a little silent, Noah coughed twice.
"As the center of the world, the Fire Nation is definitely different from the Rain Nation. It cannot control everything by force. So it would be best to have a reference for the development of another great country.
The process of industrialization will spread throughout the ninja world, and the common development of the two countries of water and fire is not a bad thing.
Moreover, the resources of a country can be of great help to the development of Konoha Village.
Wouldn't it be better to use the Rain Country as an open transit center to provide blood transfusions to the village?
The people of the Water Kingdom have not suffered any loss, and they also long for someone to step forward and lead them to a better life.
Anyway...it can't get any worse."
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that it made sense.
This is the right path, and the Water Kingdom really needs a shadow who can lead them on the right path.
“The crimes you committed in the first half of your life will definitely lead to your death. I don’t want to lie to you.
But in the ninja world, at your age, every day you live is a treasure. You should make the necessary sacrifices for Konoha before you die to be worthy of Tobirama Senju.
Even though it's still not very respectable to go to the Pure Land after death, but... the first generation will forgive you."
Noah spoke very strictly.
The first generation will most likely forgive Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the second generation will also do so, but the second generation will forgive him and kill the Hokage whom he personally chose.
I don’t know if people in the Pure Land can die again.
"That great name..."
"Now that you're a villain, does your name still matter?
At worst, let the Moon Organization assassinate the Daimyo, and you, the Fourth Mizukage, will take on the responsibility of maintaining the operation of the Water Kingdom in times of crisis.
Oh, it's okay to keep it simple. The Moon Organization doesn't lack Sharingan either."
……
"Well, maybe it's time for the daimyo to leave the stage of history."
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally made up his mind and let the stupid masked man do it.
I believe this little thing shouldn't go wrong.
"Here, this is the development data of the Rain Country for your reference, as well as some of my preliminary planning suggestions for the Water Country."
Noah handed over a scroll.
After taking it, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that there would be a lot of things inside. This kind of sealing scrolls are all products of the highest standards.
“There are more than forty volumes in total, go back and read them slowly.
The spread of commerce and culture started from the Hidden Mist Village, and the two young men were responsible for the commercial and political exchanges between the Rain Kingdom and several other countries.
It takes ten years to train a person, and the seeds of the new era must be in them.”
Noah became more and more emotional as he spoke. From the moment he attacked the ninja world, time began to count down.
The edge of the sword pointing at the Otsutsuki began to gather.
After reporting his work, the undercover agent from Daming City led the team back to the Water Kingdom.
Mei Terumi and Kisame Hoshigaki temporarily stay in the Rain Country to discuss matters such as subsequent trade and mission clearance.
It can be considered a form of exercise.
Mei Terumi showed great interest in this, while Hoshigaki Kisame was a little confused.
He always felt that this town, this country was different from the Water Kingdom.
There is no blood, no confusion, and everyone has a goal they want to achieve.
As a trusted subordinate of Xiguashan Puffer Demon, he has been diligently carrying out missions for the Hidden Mist Village for many years, even including killing his companions to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy's interrogation team and leaking intelligence.
Despite his firm actions, he was always confused about his own existence and meaning.
After arriving in the Land of Rain, Kisame seemed to be keenly aware of what he desired.
This is different from the Water Kingdom, and it is also different from the ninja world full of betrayal and cruelty.
So this guy walked around the city with a mature face until he met someone.
There was a young man walking around in the city, even chatting with passers-by frequently, and observing new things for a long time.
He also held a scroll and a pen in his hand.
No one stopped this blatant intelligence gathering operation, and even the security team passing by ignored this behavior.
The Rain Country is really a strange country.
He also recognized that person; it was Uchiha Itachi, the genius of the Land of Fire.
He easily defeated Deidara of the Iwagakure Village on the evening of the first day of the Five Kage Tournament, and was marked in the intelligence as a suspected special jonin.
For some reason, Hoshigaki Kisame walked up to him. He planned to exchange some observation information with the other party, or in other words... to extract information?
But what to call it?
Although the other party is younger than him, he is very strong.
In a world where the strong are respected, if you don't want to have conflicts, you have to pay attention to details. The Kirigakure Ninja School also cultivates this knowledge, although it only accounts for a small part of the content, and the rest are means of killing.
then.
"Mr. Itachi?"
The young Itachi and the young Kisame met in advance.
The difference is that Kisame is still confused, while Itachi has undergone a miraculous change.
Hoshigaki Kisame?
The shark-faced young man in front of him is one of the Mizukage guards of the Water Kingdom. After the Mizukage left, he was considered half the person in charge.
"Kisame Hoshigaki of Kirigakure, what do you want from me?"
Kisame didn't care about Itachi's cruelty, as the intelligence recorded everyone's personality.
"As one of the people in charge left behind by the Mizukage, I am also very curious about what the Rain Country is like as the starting point for the Five Kage Joint Conference.
I wonder what Mr. Itachi thinks?"
…Itachi still didn’t understand why the other party was talking to him.
But thinking about the large amount of information that the teacher had shown me before, I suddenly had some ideas and wanted to give it a try.
"It's a great country. I wish the Fire Country could become like this..."
Uchiha Itachi, who was relatively immature in the new Will of Fire, and the confused Hoshigaki Kisame began their first conversation, and the young Itachi was also conveying his thoughts.
Through a large amount of historical materials and the few words of Teacher Noah, every word he said amazed Kisame.
What a height and what a perspective, that calm fighting style is also very consistent with the opponent's current thinking.
In comparison, the Third Mizukage that he had met before and his boss, Xiguashan Pufferfish, seemed like... special ninjas.
Hoshigaki Kisame could not underestimate such an intellectual giant, so he naturally transitioned from obtaining information to asking for advice.
Mr. Itachi spoke very seriously.
Noah, who saw this scene from the surveillance, nodded. Perhaps the intervention of an outsider could allow Itachi to more clearly combine knowledge and reality.
Only by arming the mind well can the power of Sharingan surpass its limit without side effects. The baptism of the sun does not necessarily work.
I hope Itachi can grow up faster.
Now that the four nations have fallen into their established course, Konoha's internal purification and integration must be further strengthened.
The key point is that the second round of fund harvesting is about to begin.
"Shikaku, come for a walk with me."
Chapter 164 Gold Rush
In addition to the locals of the Rain Country, there are already some merchants from other countries arriving on the streets of the new town.
It was the first time they came into contact with so many new and novel products, and they were like sharks smelling blood, constantly shuttling back and forth in the market.
Although there were not many people, its popularity quickly increased.
The Five Kage Conference is not a highly confidential meeting.
In other words, under the control of the Akatsuki organization, the so-called Five Kage Conference had already been known to many businessmen with some ability.
Moreover, they secretly guided many caravans to spread information to attract traffic.
"A new business opportunity in the Rain Country." "A safe place where all five Kage can gather without worry."
"A commercial center under the protection of Hanzo, a city of science and culture."
"Join hands with the Rain Country to create a new future." "The Hokage said it was good after seeing it."
These special style texts were also circulated secretly. The most outrageous thing was that the starting point of the rumor was actually the gold exchange.
It is said that the legendary undead mercenaries have reappeared in the black market, and many men who look fierce and evil are also whispering about the commercial gold mines in the Rain Country.
News from the underground world travels the fastest.
Previously, the Rain Country was under blockade by underground forces, and much information was too mysterious.
Merchants would rather take a longer route than take high risks, and the image of the Rain Ninja is not that kind.
The good guy in someone's family wears a respirator every day, and his face is full of numbness and death.
Now it seems that the country is preparing to relax its controls and borders, and even to welcome outsiders.
Then following the footsteps of the Five Kage and coming to the Rain Country to take a look has become the choice of many special people.
First of all, security can be guaranteed to a great extent. There should not be any unrest in a place where so many powerful people gather.
Of course, this was proven wrong. The blow that shattered the clouds that day almost scared them to death.
Although the reason announced later was that the Fifth Hokage was demonstrating his military power, it was still scary.
Is the Godaime Hokage...so strong?
At the same time, a lot of gossip about the Five Kage Tournament was circulated to alleviate the panic.
Noah is already very familiar with the operation of diverting attention. He has several rumor plans and directions ready to be launched at any time.
The second reason is that businessmen and speculators are also very curious. A place like the Rain Country, which was the site of three battles during war, is a very important transportation hub in peacetime.
Moreover, in addition to the three countries of Wind, Fire and Earth, there are many small countries in the northwest direction that can be extended through the Rain Country. This is how Kakashi went to the Snow Country to carry out his mission.
In addition to ninjas, multinational caravans can also save a lot of time by passing through the Rain Country.
It can be said that the location is unique, and it is precisely because of this that it was treated so cruelly before.
Now this official-level founding of the country has attracted some courageous businessmen and some powerful speculators to come here.
The wide and clean country roads impressed the merchants.
