Naruto: Fox and Cat

The Commodity Trading and Exchange Conference held in Konoha is already the third one this year. The praise continues to rise, the scale of participation increases year by year, and the conference system is becoming more and more perfect.The so-called product exchange conference means that merchants, families, etc. from various countries will send representatives to bring their own high-quality products to the venues provided by Konoha. They will choose their favorite merchants through sample displays and other activities. After proper negotiation, they will place an order and establish a cooperative relationship. .Not only that, it is also an important place for social networking. Business families can take the opportunity to get to know people from other countries in order to seek long-term partnerships.

The only participating countries in the first conference were the five major countries that had formed an alliance, the Iron Kingdom, and the Merchant Kingdom that saw business opportunities. The other countries were still in the observation stage.There are only two ways to participate in the first conference, one is an invitation letter issued by Konoha, and the other is a recommendation letter issued by other countries.Since this idea was proposed by Kakashi, the sixth generation Hokage, and the location of the Country of Fire is right in the middle of the major countries, the final venue was chosen on a plain offshore of the Country of Fire.

Konoha will provide security measures for the conference, and even provide a series of services such as goods delivery team, VIP protection team, booth introduction team, on-site food supply team, etc., to ensure that merchants will enjoy it from the beginning of entering the Land of Fire. One-stop service, even a series of derivative products such as hotels, snack streets, gift shops, etc. have been built around the conference venue to ensure that participating merchants have a place to rest after participating in the exhibition.

And of course, none of this is free.Hotels, snack streets, gift shops, etc. around the conference were acquired by businesses from various countries through healthy competition, and the prices were controlled within a reasonable range, without raising prices.The various service teams provided by Konoha also require payment to be entrusted to serve.In other words, even before the conference was held, Konoha had already raised a lot of funds through preliminary preparations, and the conference even provided job opportunities for many people in the Fire Nation.

Merchants from various countries participating in the conference also need to pay a participation fee. After discussion among the Five Shadows, it was finally decided that the participation fee for the first conference will be divided equally among participating merchants from each country. Which country has more participating merchants will naturally receive more fees. , the participation fees for subsequent conferences will be shared between the Fire Nation and other countries at a ratio of 3:7, that is, all merchants and membership fees from the Fire Nation will be collected by the Fire Nation, and [-]% of the membership fees for merchants from other countries will be paid to the Fire Nation, The remaining [-]% goes to your country.After all, the Fire Nation is the host country, and the work it is responsible for from before to after the conference also requires a lot of money, time and manpower, so we can't not pay the membership fees to them.

Commercial roads leading directly from the borders of the Fire Country to the Commodity Conference have also been built. They even passed many of the Fire Country's famous attractions along the way, allowing groups of merchants who arrived early to take the opportunity to visit the Fire Country and do some shopping.

The first conference also provided opportunities for merchants who usually had supplies but no customers. Many merchants even completed orders from the past two or three months in one day. Merchants who originally came just to try their luck were suddenly happy. After blooming, not only did I find lower-priced and higher-quality goods from the product conference than before, but I also expanded a broad customer base.

The participating countries in the first conference all benefited greatly from it, especially the host country, the Fire Nation, which relied on this conference to make up for the losses of the war, and even made a lot of revenue after the complete restoration of Konoha.

Seeing the prospects of the product exchange conference, the number of merchants participating in the second year suddenly increased dozens of times. However, the Fire Nation did not accept all the orders. All participating merchants checked the product qualification rate before granting the qualification to participate.Although the process was a lot longer, most merchants did not complain, and even quite agreed with the Fire Nation's approach. After all, no one wanted to buy fakes.

The increase in merchants means the expansion of conference venues, the increase in hotels and other derivative buildings, the increase in job opportunities, etc. In other words, in addition to the costs everywhere, before the conference starts, the Fire Nation makes another profit made a fortune.When the time comes, plus the participation fees of each merchant, the tax fees submitted by Fire Nation merchants, the revenue of various tourist attractions, border crossing fees (merchants with invitation letters are exempt from fees), etc., it will be a considerable sum. Revenue.

And in order to show that the Fire Nation attaches great importance to the conference, Sasuke, one of Konoha's biggest celebrities, was promoted by his teacher and the current Hokage to be the representative of the Fire Nation. Those who want to cause trouble are nipped in the cradle.

To make matters worse, a certain smiling but shrewd Hokage knew very well that his student had an outstanding appearance and a cold temperament, so he directly printed Sasuke's photo on the posters of two product conferences, and suddenly a lot of fans and the families behind them were attracted by it. I went to the Fire Country, took a tour, bought some things, and saw the handsome guys, and then returned with satisfaction. In the end, the Fire Country's income increased a lot again.

Sasuke could only roll his eyes and express his helplessness. When he first learned about this decision, he almost asked Konoha to change Hokage, but he accepted the task after Itachi's persuasion.

In this regard, Kakashi expressed his innocence. Obviously what he said was exactly the same as Itachi's, but Sasuke only listened to Itachi's words. As expected, the power of brother control is invincible.

...............................................................................................................................

The week-long product conference had been going on for three days. On the morning of the fourth day, they met Sasuke at a business road hotel. Obviously, this was also one of the hotels used by the Sakura clan for information transactions.

"Hey boy!!" Seeing Sasuke waiting there, he immediately waved his hands happily after stopping the carriage, "Long time no see, do you need some aphrodisiac?! I'll give it to you for free!"

"No need." Sasuke refused as always, and they had only been to the Sakura Clan half a year ago.Sasuke, who has grown taller, is still wearing light gray casual clothes as before. His left eye is still blocked by his long forehead, and his Kusanagi sword is pinned to his left waist.In order to cover the moon mark of Yin Power on his palm, he also wore a pair of black half-finger gloves.

"Stingy." Mai made a face at him, and then ran to the hotel to have the luggage in the carriage sent to Konoha.

Ying Luofeng poked her head out of the carriage, waved happily when she saw him, and then jumped out of the carriage.According to her memory, she had never seen Sasuke or the others from the time she was unconscious on the battlefield to now.

"Wind, you have to be careful." Naruto, who was holding a scroll, also quickly got out of the car. When he saw Sasuke, he threw the scroll in his hand to him, "The materials Itachi asked for are just enough to be handed over to you. "

"I have to go to the product conference to help later, and I will probably return to Konoha later than you." Sasuke took the large scroll that was half a person tall and put it on the ground casually. He looked worriedly at Sakura, who had long snow-white hair and a pale face. Luofeng asked, "Feng, are you feeling well now?"

According to Naruto's previous letter, Sakura Luofeng's body is still very weak. She still sleeps for most of the day and falls asleep from time to time.And she hasn't spoken since she woke up.

Ying Luofeng just smiled and nodded. After running near him, she suddenly had a clear understanding of three years. Sasuke, who was a little taller than her before, was now almost a head taller than her.

After discovering this, she suddenly turned back to look at Naruto, and suddenly found that he was also much taller than her as she was walking over. The reason why she realized it so late was also related to the fact that she and Naruto usually stayed together.

Then she looked down at Sasuke's left hand, and then looked up at his covered left eye. She was curious but seemed unable to let the ninja reveal his powerful weapon casually.

Sasuke had no intention of hiding it from her. He took off the glove on his left hand and showed her the crescent moon mark on his palm. "The eyes have become samsara eyes. If they are exposed, they will probably scare other people. There is also a mark on the left hand. It's The power of the Six Paths of Yin.”

Ying Luofeng reached out and poked the mark on his palm. When she grabbed Naruto's right hand and looked at the warm mark on his palm, she nodded very seriously.

"Yes, ninjas are very magical creatures." Naruto saw her expression and already guessed what she wanted to say, and couldn't help laughing.

Sasuke also smiled slightly. After taking the gloves back, he put the scroll on his back and asked, "Do you want to go to the conference now?"

"Sister Feng's luggage has been sent to Konoha~" Wu jumped out carrying a small package and a long knife, pointing to the sky with interest, "Let's fly there directly!"

"I'll take you for a ride if you promise not to use your powers suddenly." Sasuke tugged on one of her ponytails angrily. He had used Susanoo to fly with this guy once before, but when he got too nervous, he subconsciously Chi used his ability to eliminate Susanoo out of a hole and then fell down.

"It's okay, I can just try out my new parachute~" Wu said with a proud look on her face, promising that she would never be too nervous this time.

Naruto has now switched to Six Paths Sage mode, and his clothes have changed into black base clothes and a golden cloak made of condensed chakra. The orange chakra wrapped around his body makes him look like a warm flame from a distance. .Nine black seeking jade floated quietly behind him.

This was the first time that Ying Luofeng saw him transform into this state. When she raised her hand and touched the flaming orange chakra around him, she only felt a warmth.When looking at the chakra wrapped around her fingertips, Sakura Luofeng knew very clearly for the first time that she had lost her family's ability.

The abilities that once brought heavy burdens but also made him proud, all ended with the Fourth Ninja War.From that moment when the falling cherry blossoms fell, I became an ordinary person in the true sense.

Just in a sudden moment, the huge gap that she had been trying to ignore was suddenly magnified in front of her eyes, allowing her to clearly see the unreachable distance between herself and Naruto today.

Her face, which had finally regained some color, instantly turned pale. With cold sweat on her face, she took back her hands tremblingly, shaking her head slowly, trying to deny something, but her weak body could not withstand the intense changes in emotions in a short period of time. After a while, she closed her eyes and completely lost consciousness.

"Wind!!!" When he sensed something was wrong, he already reached out to hug her by default, but in the end he just caught her body that fell down weakly.He kept calling her name in a low voice, but the unconscious Ying Luofeng couldn't answer at all.

"What's going on?" Sasuke was also shocked. Why did the person who was fine a few seconds ago suddenly fall down.

"Take her into the room, and young man, go and catch Orochimaru!" Mai, who instantly calmed down, stretched out her hand and pressed Sakura's carotid artery, quickly commanded them to split up and rush to the carriage. take things.

Naruto quickly picked her up and rushed into the hotel, and Sasuke didn't waste time. When the blood-red Mangekyō Sharingan appeared, the giant-like complete Susanoo had already appeared, jumped into the sky, spread his wings, and headed towards Orochimaru. fly to the base.
