Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Kato Oo seemed to have never thought about a problem, even if he had never thought about it, it seemed that he had never cared about it too much.

How many ninjas are there in this ninja world?

Ninjas, samurai, immortals, or any other words with another name, such a group with extraordinary power will never produce any output, although they are important.

Judging from the resources occupied by the 'extraordinary' alone, it would take at least dozens of times more producers to be able to roughly make ends meet. Even if we do not consider the special resources required by the 'extraordinary' group alone, It is to simply support the daily needs of these people who do not produce, and the number of ordinary people required is much greater than this special group.

Those who truly desire peace are often these ordinary people, but history cannot always be determined by them.

The Kingdom of Water is located near the sea, but when people in the ninja world mention the Kingdom of Water, they never think of the ordinary people who have lived in this place for countless generations, and most likely do not regard the fishery they rely on for survival as something too important.

No matter what, how can it be compared with the raging Ninja War?

"It is not difficult to enter the Kingdom of Water..."

"The difficult thing is how to prevent Kirigakure from seeing through his identity..."

Standing on the beach of the Kingdom of Water, it was already late at night, but the sound of the waves seemed to never stop, covering up all the sounds here.

"Let's go..."

"Don't forget our current identities..."

Kato Oo, who was dressed like a businessman, seemed to have a somewhat different temperament, which made the eyes of the three little ghost leaders behind him look a bit strange.

"The chakra aura on your body has been sealed by my sealing technique. As long as you don't take the initiative, there is a high probability that no one in Kirigakure Village will be able to see through your identity as a ninja..."

Uzuki Yugan, who was dressed like a maid, was a little uncomfortable with it. Just seeing Iruka and Uchiha Itachi dressed like servants, she felt a little amused inexplicably.

"Teacher Xu...we..."

Kato Ou turned around and looked at the three of them with a slight frown. Although he had taken a course similar to lurking in the ninja school, this was the first time for the three of them to do such a thing. It seemed a little too raw, even if there was no chakra around them. Aura, but still completely unlike ordinary people who are in awe of ninjas.

"Forget it... From today on, you three are not allowed to talk when outsiders are around..."

Uzuki Xiyan, who still wanted to say something, looked at the completely unfamiliar, somewhat gloomy, 30-year-old face of Kato Ou, her Adam's apple was twitching, and she no longer dared to say a word.

It is not unusual for countries to send spies and secret agents to each other. Spies are discovered every day, and new spies enter cities and towns every day. As long as there is a flow of people, such a mixture will always be inevitable.

No matter which country you are in, no matter who is in power, this kind of thing can never be avoided.

The identity prepared by Orochimaru is one of the results of the espionage war that Konoha has been working on for many years. Every country will have such a true identity that can completely withstand any detection, but there will never be too many.

As long as there is no problem with his identity, the few servants who look like half-grown children around him will not attract anyone's attention at all.

Kato Ou took out the scroll again, looked at the content on it, frowned slightly, but a blue flame suddenly appeared in his hand, and the scroll turned into fly ash and disappeared on the seaside.

"I don't know what kind of information is worth such a massive effort..."

The destination was in front of him, and Kato Ou no longer stopped, leading the three of them towards Kirigakure Village.

……

"When will the sea lanes be unblocked..."

"If the lockdown is not lifted, I'm afraid my several ships of sea goods will rot in my hands..."

"I heard that something big happened in Kirigakure Village recently, so the entire maritime trade route was blocked. I have a relative who is a retainer of a jounin in Kirigakure Village. I heard that this time may not be short..."

"Ah? What should I do? The cargo from these ships is worth more than half of my net worth!"

The strange politics of the ninja world, with the daimyo in charge of financial power and the ninja village in charge of military power, seems to have become some kind of rule.

Both sides have their own high degree of autonomy. Rather than saying that the daimyo is the master of a country, it is better to say that the Ninja Village cooperates with the daimyo to jointly control the land under their rule.

A stable political power, military and wealth, are indispensable. Even if there is divide and rule, there must be only one voice. If any party becomes dominant, it will be an inevitable disaster.

The big businessmen of the Water Country do not care about the internal affairs of Kirigakure Village. Although they are afraid of ninja force, none of these people who can stand out among ordinary people are easy to deal with.

The island nation’s shipping is one of the most important economic pillars of the water nation.

"Let's unite to appeal to the Daimyo! If we block the sea transportation like this, the Water Country will definitely suffer heavy losses!"

The prosperous capital of the Kingdom of Water has concentrated more than half of the country's wealth. Even if it is a small country with few people, even if it is a large country, it is still an extraordinary place that can be compared.

In the secret room of the restaurant in the east of the city, countless big businessmen gathered and were having heated conversations.

"So what? Can the daimyo be the master of Kirigakure?"

Kato Ou has stayed in Kirigakure for nearly half a month and has a general understanding of several major forces in Kirigakure. The main bloodstained families are still the largest forces in Kirigakure.

But in Kirigakure Village, Kato Oo seemed to see the shadow of Konoha.

Listening to the indignant conversations of a group of big Kirigakure businessmen, Kato Ou seemed to have thought of something and slowly stood up.

"Do you have any news about Terumi, Oniden, Kaguya, and other big families?"

As soon as Kato Oo finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on his face. They seemed to be recalling who this person was. He seemed somewhat familiar and knew that he was indeed there, but they could not recall more detailed information for the moment.

Just his words made everyone's eyes spin, thinking about the meaning of his words.

"Although our Qiushui Trading Company has many business dealings with the Terumi family, we have never been able to make friends with its core, and I don't know what their attitude is towards this blockade policy..."

"But as expected, there isn't much support. You all have many connections with Kirigakure Village. I think you probably know some core information. How about we exchange some information?"

"Qiushui Trading Company?"

Everyone here seemed to be reminiscing about something, and it took them a while to suddenly realize that they seemed to have remembered the origin of this little-known trading company. Although they did not speak, there was a bit of contempt in their eyes, and it seemed that you could do this no matter what your identity. I'm sorry to come to such a high-level gathering.

It's just that everyone here is invited by familiar people, and business people will not offend others casually, so this is just a quiet moment without saying anything more.

Kato Ou was not in a hurry. He just took a sip of tea and said nothing more. His goal had been achieved. As long as he transferred the attention of these people to Kirigakure, he would be able to obtain more information to facilitate him. Take the next step.

When you first enter Kirigakure, it's best not to arouse Kirigakure's vigilance before you get the secret technique.

"The Ghost Lantern Family..., I hope you won't disappoint me..."
