The Unholy Man of the Warring States Period [Naruto]
Chapter 18 Gifts
Before leaving, Izayoi instructed Shikasuke to search through all the properties hidden in the black market stronghold, and put all the valuable things on the bullock cart.
The carriage was packed to the brim, and even two copper oil lamps pried from the wall were hung on the backs of cows.
Lusuke had an embarrassed face, a bulging money bag hung on his belt, and a bag of precious jade and jewelry in his arms.
From the outside, it looked like they had been robbed somewhere.
If you think about it carefully, this behavior is no different from robbery. The goods he brought were brought back intact, and there were a lot more.
If every business can do this, the day of achieving financial freedom will come soon!
Izayoi lifted up his cloak and followed the bullock cart, explaining to him as he walked.
"Before you came, we had already negotiated with the Uchiha people to collect a share of the profits from the gambling house. Butterfly is very capable, but she is an ordinary girl after all. How could she beat the fat circle in the gambling house? A strong thug."
"So, I hired Uchiha ninjas to help solve this problem and make the competitors disappear from the physical level. In this way, Butterfly will not encounter much resistance when it collects other forces on Tanshu Street."
Izayoi smiled slightly at Shikasuke and said, "Don't you want to open a shop on the street? How about letting you run the land of the gambling house?"
Lu Jie waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "You are too flattering to me. I am a little smart and can only do small businesses. I would never dare to get involved in such a big business."
joke! Uchiha has already gotten involved, so if he dives in again, wouldn't it just add to the trouble?
After thinking about it again and again, he still couldn't understand why Uchiha was willing to help Hime-kun get rid of her enemies. To hire them, the little money on the izakaya's books is far from enough.
"I heard that areas to the east don't allow ninjas to engage in other industries?"
He said it very tactfully, just saying that the laws here are stricter than those in the west and are even worse for ninjas.
"The gambling house is mine, and Uchiha is my good friend. Isn't it natural for good friends to help each other out?"
Izayoi tilted his head slightly, rarely showing the look of a little girl. She smiled and said: "You can't even help your friends. Anyway, Tuanzhu Street is in a remote place. If you want to reach out, you have to re-arrange it somewhat."
She pointed in the direction of the looted black market. "To eat the chess pieces on the surface, the people behind the chess must be found out before they can plan the next step. As long as they make a move, we will know who is controlling this area."
Shikasuke nodded slowly.
Ji Jun didn't need to explain this to him. The exchange of interests and calculations behind it have never had anything to do with ninjas. They are not even chess pieces, they are just the knives used by the chess player when he is preparing to overturn the game.
It seemed like she was really trying to teach him something.
What's the use of just understanding the people behind this area?
Shikasuke didn't dare to think about it further. It's not a good idea to try to figure out what's going on up the mountain without permission. He also has a mother, relatives, and family behind him. If he really got involved, the punishment for crossing the line within the ninja clan alone would be enough for Nara to drink.
The east side of the Country of Fire is no better than the west side, and the situation here is even more tragic.
----------------------
Uchiha Izuna stepped on the tall tree trunk, and without him taking action, his men caught the stranger who fled nearby.
A civilian, carrying a ninja on his back, appeared at the junction of the two major ninja clans. It looks very suspicious no matter how you look at it.
Huopu checked carefully and found several documents proving his identity on the sober person.
"It should be the broker of the nobles. No one has so many identities except them."
"Humph."
Quan Nai shook off her long braid impatiently, and the woman gave him another big trouble. Starting from the gambling house, one by one, Uchiha was completely drawn in.
"Are you going to send him back? He crossed the line first and came here without saying hello. The reason for sending him back is very good, and the nobles have nothing to say."
"See what's going on with the other one." Quan Nai ordered.
"Yes."
If he was just an ordinary broker, then Uchiha would suffer a loss this time, and he would definitely have to ask the izakaya for a large amount of mental compensation next month. If not..., Ahri brought back the news that there was a big gift. He wanted to see what kind of gift it was.
Quan Na crossed her arms, waiting for the final trump card to be revealed.
Huopu bent down and removed the man's mask, revealing a familiar face.
He was stunned for a moment, forgetting that he was blocking his view. Seeing that he suddenly stopped moving, Quan Nai jumped down from the tree trunk.
"what happened?"
He jumped down and was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.
Isn't this the young patriarch of Hagoromo? ! How come he is here? ! Why was he in a coma, why was he hanging out with the broker, was this the gift Izayoi gave him?
Time, place, and person, three things combined into one, Izayoi sent the person to the door specially for him to accept, which vaguely pointed to the secret that Uchiha, an ally of Hagoromo, didn't know.
"Cover it with a cloth and take it back. Don't make any noise."
Quan Nai's excitement did not last long, and she personally performed a ninjutsu on the two of them that cut off the tracking aura. He carefully asked the members of the team to keep the secret strictly, and returned to the clan as quietly as he came.
After he left, the wind in the forest suddenly stopped for a while, and a searching sound came from the humus layer under the trees. Looking from the top of the tree, it looked like a black snake as thick as an arm was slithering under the fallen leaves.
If you look closely, you will see that the black snake is not a snake. It does not have a triangular head. Instead, it has two yellow, round eyes at the top. It raised its head and observed it for a while, swaying and smelling the scent in the air.
Nothing at all.
So what was the noise that came to the ground just now?
It hesitantly retracted into the humus layer, swaying around and probing around, but ultimately found nothing.
never mind. Get Yuyiren back first, he has been out for too long. The rest will be figured out slowly.
Silence returned to the forest, leaving only a hole as thick as an arm hidden under heavy fallen leaves.
------------------
On the other side of the river bank, within the Thousand Hands Clan.
Tobirama took a stack of scrolls and looked around for someone, and finally found his eldest brother on the tallest tree in the clan.
He did not rush up to the tree crown to disturb him. In the past, his eldest brother usually practiced in this tree. No one knows exactly what he practices. But every time he came down, he could use ninjutsu that he had never seen before.
From the initial simple restraint attack of Mu Dun, to the later Wood Dragon Wood Man, and even the protective barrier with various sealing effects, he sat here and thought about it.
Tobirama doesn't know what kind of insights the elder brother will bring this time. But it will definitely not disappoint everyone. This is the unreserved trust that everyone has in the leader of the Thousand Hands Clan.
Hashirama sat cross-legged for a long time, looking at the hills upstream of the Nanga River in the distance. In his memory, it was always lush and lush, and it was refreshing to look at it against the backdrop of the blue sky.
But I don't know when, a faint mist began to fill the hills. Looking from a distance, it looks like a big black snake coiling at the bottom of the mountain and gradually moving towards the mountainside.
There is the upper reaches of the Nanga River, the birthplace of the river. There are countless small tributaries that join together here, eventually forming the largest river that runs through the entire southeastern part of the Fire Country.
It was also the place where he met Izayoi by chance while collecting terrain information.
Why is she there, why is she standing on the edge of the cliff? Without her own obstruction, would she really jump down that ominous valley?
Why did she do this?
Countless whys bothered Hashirama's thoughts.
Tanchu Street is a place he is very familiar with. After all, he has been sneaking there to gamble since he was a child. I am so familiar with it that I can clearly remember which intersection leads to which alley. The second week after Senju Shota stayed there, he found him at the door of his house.
It’s never surprising that izakayas are the most popular shops in Tanshu Street. But the stalls of those izakayas are usually very small, and people can only sit outside and have a drink. Drinking and leaving is the most common way of entertaining guests. There is no restaurant like Madame Butterfly's that will attract customers and serve them with good wine and delicious food. The landlady is pretty and well-spoken, making people willing to spend time there and spend a lot of money.
But no one knows that the person behind this store is actually a younger and more beautiful girl. If the news spreads, many people will rush to have a look because of the reputation.
Hiss——Izayoi probably doesn’t like that. We have to find a way to drive those people away.
He started out on his own at a young age, with a beautiful face and a mysterious identity that no one can trace. It's like the trees in the mountains and the spirits growing out of thin air in the streams and rivers.
Hashirama regretted his inappropriate metaphor for a second, and then recalled every moment of his brief relationship with her, trying to find any clues to prove that she was a harmless and weak woman.
From the appearance, it perfectly matches the world's beautiful yearning for women. His character is also soft yet strong, making people sympathize with him.
But what a coincidence. It’s so coincidental that her presence in the upheaval in Short Book Street cannot be ignored.
How could it be such a coincidence that on the second day after the izakaya opened, the gambling house was uprooted?
Others don't know it, but Hashirama has been around there for many years. The first floor and the underground floor are places where ordinary people go to have fun. The only difference is that the ones hidden underground have more fun.
Underneath the basement level, there is a secret room. Some clients whose identities are not disclosed will leave mission scrolls there and complete post-mission transactions.
He didn't go down, but his perception was that it was a very ordinary handover and contact, nothing special.
Why was such a gambling house suddenly targeted? And it was the day after the Izakaya opened across the street.
He couldn't understand. This kind of twists and turns is not what he is good at. If you leave it to Tobirama, you might get the result quickly. But he didn't want to.
Tobirama's thoughts became colder as he grew older. It's hard to say what method he would take if he came into contact with the izakaya.
Butterfly is an ordinary person, Hirata is a half-grown boy. And Izayoi... her temper is too stubborn.
Too rigid and easy to break. Even if I am afraid that jade will be shattered, I will never bow my head.
You still have to go there yourself.
Hashirama thought about it and wanted to do it. He jumped down from the tree crown and wanted to run to Tanshu Street again.
Tobirama stopped him under a tree. "Brother, where are you going? Don't you care about breeding anymore?"
Without Hashirama's Wood Release, the breeding time would be greatly extended. It would be difficult for Senju to proceed with his plan to solve part of the food rations.
"I'll go for a walk and be back."
Tobirama took back his hand doubtfully and asked: "Testing a new ninjutsu?"
Speaking of this, Hashirama immediately revealed another power he had newly realized.
"Dang Dang Dang! Look at this! Isn't it amazing?"
He drew apart his eyes, two red marks stretched outward from the inner corners of his eyes, black stripes appeared around the corners of his eyes, a black bull's-eye ring appeared in the middle of his forehead, and the outer edges of the black pupils were smudged with a bright golden color. Drive away.
"The power of Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu has been improved. It can also restore your physical strength quickly."
The power of chakra emanating from Hashirama suddenly increased, and the momentum knocked away the surrounding sand and stones.
Tobirama raised his hand to block it in front of him, and then lowered it after he gained control. He couldn't hide his joy and couldn't help asking: "What kind of technique is this?"
Hashirama touched the back of his head sheepishly, threw his head back and laughed.
"I had a chat with Slug Immortal a few days ago. She said that there is an energy different from chakra that is the root of the world. I tried to learn it, but I didn't expect it to be really powerful. Compared with the movement of chakra It’s more comfortable, smoother, and better for your body!”
Tobirama's handsome face fell, he pushed his elder brother away and walked back.
"I want to go back and do experiments. You can take care of the breeding at the nursery yourself. After all, you are the one taking the lead, so don't delay for too long."
"understand."
Hashirama watched his brother leave, returned home, put the prepared apology into his arms, and sneaked away through a side door.
After he left, Tobirama emerged from the laboratory in the backyard, looked at the direction his eldest brother was leaving with a heavy expression, and followed him quietly while controlling the furthest sensing distance.
He wanted to find out what kind of woman she was that was so obsessed with his brother that he couldn't stay home all day long!
