On the application of plant zombies in the world of Naruto

Huo Zhifang looked at the profit report for this year sent by his subordinates, and seemed a little confused.

"What's going on? The revenue this year is so much less."

He sat cross-legged at the table, one hand on his knee, with a half-smile on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Ok?"

The subordinate blinked his eyes, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down, and his eyes felt a little stinging.

"Sir, the business of the cloth shop is not very good this year. It's not that our people are not serious, it's really the Tachibana family... they are too insidious!"

"Well, continue."

The subordinates could not guess the mood of Fire Fang, so they could only continue to explain while bowing.

"I don't know where they got this weird-looking spinning wheel, which is said to be able to spin 100 kilograms of yarn a day, and also has a matching loom. Their output is too high and their cost is too low. The price of a piece of cloth is only half of ours. Those untouchables who are reluctant to pay all go to buy their cloth, and no one comes to buy our cloth."

Huo Zhi Fang Zhe, the patriarch of the Huo Zhi Fang clan, is 67 years old. He has an elegant appearance and never shows his emotions. He gently put the account book in his hand on the table beside him, as if asking a sincere question.

"Tachibana Keisuke Shihei has something new, can't we have one too?"

The sweat on his face became even more severe. He did not even dare to raise his head, and only dared to stare at his toes.

"My subordinates went to Taga Castle to investigate. The spinning wheel was built by the river and was very large. My subordinates wanted to dismantle it, but for some reason, when we touched the spinning wheel, it suddenly broke into many pieces. We thought that since it was destroyed, the business of the Tachibana family would also be affected, but who knew that the next day, the spinning wheel was fine again."

(Senju Tobirama: ? How did the spinning wheel break so quickly? This shouldn't happen. It shouldn't break if no one outsider pulls the core... Hurry up and fight.)

Huo Zhi Fangzhe closed his eyes and said, "What about our high-end fabrics?"

Speaking of this, the subordinates became even more panicked.

"Sir, Tachibana... Tachibana's family has come up with a new kind of cloth that is not only thin and flowing, but also fireproof and knifeproof. Those big shots are all scrambling to buy it..."

"waste!"

Huo Zhi Fangzhe suddenly jumped up and slapped his subordinate in the face.

"Why can't we make that kind of cloth! It's all garbage!!!"

"Yes Yes."

The subordinates bowed repeatedly in response with their red and swollen faces.

"We have found out that the new cloth is made of special materials, but we have not yet found out what the material is. Please give us some more time, and we will find out!"

Huo Zhi Fang Zhe returned to his usual self, sat back in his chair, and picked up the teacup on the table.

"Get up, it's normal to have gains and losses in business, and it's not your fault."

"Where's the white porcelain?"

"..."

Seeing his men standing there without saying a word, Huo Zhifang glanced at them and said, "Speak."

The men knelt down directly.

"Sir, our white porcelain has not been sold either."

The teacup in Fire Fang's hand fell directly to the ground, and the scalding tea spilled all over him.

"what!"

The subordinate knocked his head heavily on the ground, fearing that he would be angered by the enraged Fire Fang.

"Sir! We have all been deceived! The Uchiha family's white porcelain is still being produced as usual!"

The subordinate's words successfully diverted Fire Fang's attention. He bit his nails unconsciously.

That’s not right, how could they produce as usual?

"Didn't the Senju family destroy their earthen kiln? They didn't sell any white porcelain in the spring and summer."

The kneeling subordinate said,

"Yes, I thought so at first. But who would have thought that after we sold a few sets of white porcelain, the buyers suddenly came to us with the white porcelain they bought from us a few days later."

"They keep saying that our white porcelain is fake."

"At first the guys didn't want to admit it. But they simply took out the Uchiha's white porcelain and said that the quality of our white porcelain was too far behind that of the Uchiha's. If we didn't refund them, they would report the matter to His Majesty."

"I hurriedly calmed down these buyers and sent people to secretly follow them, trying to find out where the Uchiha family's white porcelain in their hands came from."

"It turns out that the Uchiha family's earthen kiln is not broken at all!"

"They just want us to think that they can't sell it anymore, and then when we start selling it, they deliberately make trouble to trick us, sir!"

Huo Zhi Fangzhe was so angry that he laughed.

"Good, good Tachibana, good Uchiha."

"I never thought that Tachibana Shihei, who took in an adopted son-in-law, could bind him so closely to the Uchiha."

"What a calculated plan!"

"I underestimated the Uchiha before, well, they are all great!"

Huo Zhi Fangzhe waved his sleeves, and his men immediately crawled out of the study.

Uchiha, he remembered.

Well done, Senju.

Hinokata Tetsu and Tachibana Suke Shihei have worked in the court for nearly 30 years.

Based on his understanding of Tachibana Jihei, a mediocre man, he knew that this year's actions were definitely not his usual style.

If it were just Tachibana Jihei, he would probably set the price of the cloth produced by their cloth workshop only slightly lower than the market price for the sake of safety, and then find a way to sell it in large quantities in towns where the Hinokata family did not have a shop.

Considering the Uchiha family's white porcelain trap,

What else could he not understand?!

"Okay, since we're going to fight, how can we just stop like this?"

……

This time, the Fire Party did not attack the Uchiha clan directly, but instead took a roundabout approach and tried to trip them up.

When he was reporting agricultural taxes, he first casually reminded the Fire Country Daimyo,

"Your Majesty, although the Uchiha clan's land is occupied by them, they do not have a land deed after all. They relied on force to forcibly occupy a large area of ​​good farmland and forests."

Upon hearing what Fire Nation said, the Fire Nation Daimyo could hardly suppress his laughter.

Yesterday he just heard Tachibana Jie Shihei talk about a little friction between the Uchiha and Hinokata families regarding white porcelain, and today Hinokata came to him and gossiped.

He didn't know when these important officials in the court who claimed to be scholars and elegant men became as fond of gossiping as the ladies in the harem.

Moreover, this incident was not caused by Huo Zhifang's disobedience to his orders and forced the sale of white porcelain.

If he hadn't listened to Tachibana's explanation of the whole thing yesterday, and hadn't received the Uchiha clan leader's letter of apology and the fine he voluntarily paid (the key point), based on his recent emphasis on land planning, the Fire Party might have really succeeded.

The Fire Country Daimyo coughed lightly, suppressed the smile on his lips, and said impatiently,

"Which ninja clan in the Land of Fire is not like this? Do you want me to send my own guardian ninja to forcibly attack the Uchiha?"

Hahahaha, this old guy Huo Zhifang has come to this day.

He originally chose the woman from the Hinokata family as his imperial concubine and promoted the Hinokata family in order to deal with those ministers who prevented him from implementing his new policies when he came to power.

As for now, the Fire Country Daimyo looked at the Fire Country who was still speaking.

If his eldest son wants to inherit his position, he must get rid of this ambitious in-law.

Seeing that His Majesty was angry but did not want to take action, Huo Zhifang handed over a memorial and a replica of his own white porcelain.

"Your Majesty, the cost of white porcelain is not that high. The taxes paid by the Uchiha family last year were not even the entire profit of the white porcelain."

The implication is: Uchiha and Tachibana Shihei have teamed up to deceive Your Majesty!

Daimyo: ...How could I not know? I had long expected that the Uchiha clan would not be able to give all the profits as they said.

He could bear to keep a certain amount, and besides, Tachibana Jie Shihei promised that the annual tax revenue would increase.

It's better than putting all that money in the hands of those nobles who are extravagant, dissolute and prone to crying poor.

The daimyo looked disdainfully at the white porcelain served in front of him by the waiter.

The appearance is rough and the wall of the cup is too thick. How can such a thing be called white porcelain?

The daimyo now dislikes the fire party more and more.

He is extremely wealthy, but he never gives a penny to himself, the ruler of a country. I heard that he has been actively contacting his eldest son recently.

It's time for this old man, Fire Fang, to retire.

However, he had many students and followers in the court. If he was forced to retire, it might cause turmoil in the court.

It would be better to let Tachibana and Hinokata fight each other, take the opportunity to eliminate the followers of Hinokata one by one, and then select some clean and capable newcomers.

Thinking of this, the Fire Country Daimyo pretended to be angry and slapped the table and stood up.

"What a Uchiha! How dare you bully me."

"Someone, come here! Go and investigate whether the situation is really as Huo Zhifang Qing said."

After that, he praised with a smile in his eyes,

"The court still needs people like you to help me fill in the gaps."

……

The Fire Party retreated with satisfaction.

Isn't the only thing that Tachibana Keishi relies on an Uchiha?

I want to see if the Uchiha will still care about you, the Minister of Civil Affairs, after the chaos.

Thinking of the result of the previous commission to Senju, Hinokata's face looked a little grim.

I can't believe that Senju and Uchiha have reached a tacit understanding in private.

Thousand Hands, no longer usable

------

Spring and autumn come,

Uchiha Yuto has returned from a trip to the Land of Wind, but Kyojuro is still stuck on developing a continuous thrust-type sword move.

Under the guidance of [Thunder Blade·Gib], Kyojuro gradually understood the key to the thrust type.

Precise attack point and instantaneous explosive power.

The power of his Six Forms grew even stronger, and then...

There's no after that.

But he didn't gain anything at all.

After all, Kyojuro is trained every day by Uchiha Madara, one of the best ninjas in the entire continent. Not only has his coordination with the [Bakuto] become better, but his height has also grown by 10 centimeters.

I don’t know where Uchiha Madara copied this physical training from, but it’s really good for the body.

When all the strength in his body was exhausted, Kyojuro took a deep breath of the air and felt the land. Sometimes, he felt that the land was speaking to him.

This feeling of being particularly close to nature made him feel relaxed, and his strength grew without him noticing.

Kyojuro even felt that he could break a large tree with his bare hands.

My body in this life is truly a treasure trove!

Yu, who was 128 cm tall before leaving the clan and still 128 cm tall after returning, looked at Kyojuro, who was 130 cm tall before leaving and 140 cm tall after returning, and silently raised the knife in his hand.

Jin, who is 130 cm tall, pressed down the knife.

After having a little fun with their friends, they started talking about the problems they have been unable to avoid this year.

Continuous thrusts.

The friends who are local orthodox ninjas simply cannot understand why Kyojuro is troubled by the continuous thrust type.

In their opinion, the so-called continuous thrusts are either to use lightning escape to speed up the body and stab multiple times quickly in a short period of time, or to simply fire multiple kunai at the same time to achieve the effect of multi-point attacks.

Jin took a bite of the snack in his hand with difficulty. This snack was the stone cake that You brought back from the Kingdom of Wind. It was crispy and dry. Although it was hard, it was very chewy.

He said vaguely,

"Kyojuro, tell me, do you want to try fighting the ninjas outside the clan? Each ninja clan has its own way of fighting. Maybe it can give you some inspiration."

After Xue took a small bite and tried it, she decisively returned the stone cake to You.

"Yes, your fireworks last time were inspired by You, do you want to try earth escape or wind escape this time?"

You said, "I don't think earth escape is very effective, but wind escape should be possible. Wind helps the fire, maybe it can really give you some inspiration!"

Earth escape technique is mainly used to change the hardness, composition, mass, gravity of an object, or change the terrain. It is very suitable for making rock walls to resist other ninjutsu attacks.

"How about vacuum jade?"

Uchiha Yu has not yet opened his eyes. Ordinary illusions are useless to Kyojuro. He can only rely on simple drawings and narration to roughly explain the effects of ninjutsu.

"Similar to Fengxian Fire, this ninjutsu can continuously exhale short breaths and chakra, presenting a spherical attack of wind attribute."

"It's also called Vacuum Wave. It's a variation of Vacuum Ball. The attack it spits out changes from a spherical shape to a blade shape."

Wind escape?

Kyojuro was inspired by his friends' conversations and recalled the Wind Pillar Busi-kun from his previous life.

Then it was natural for me to think of the other Uzui in the team.

Yup!

Brother Busui uses firearms. If he could use chakra to push out flames and explosions in short bursts, wouldn't that be a continuous thrust?

Kyojuro immediately took out [Explosive Sword·Flying Foam] from the scroll he carried with him and tried it according to the idea just now.

boom!

The little friends put their hands on the tree and looked at the target from afar, whose death was tragic.

"Wow~ Ninja Swordsmanship version of a huge fireball!"

Well, developing new moves is not that easy.

Kyojuro had just used a single-shot attack. Although the flame could be launched from the sword, it was still only a single shot.

"So! When can we participate in actual combat?!"

"Even the youngest Yu is already seven years old! He hasn't even had a single actual combat experience!"

"Well, isn't it good to not have actual combat? Then the tribesmen won't get hurt."

"That's true... but without actual combat, how can we become stronger?"

"Strengthen your exercise?"

"Kyojuro, shut up, you're such a lucky guy to have Madara-sama practice with you every day! I also want to get guidance from Madara-sama!"
