Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

Inside the carriage, after Shen Yu politely declined, Gao Zi finally gave up the idea of ​​giving the sword as a gift.

"Ms. Glass, I have a question."

Glass said quickly: "Miyamoto-kun, please feel free to speak."

"Hmm..." Shen Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Is there something wrong with your 'Blade Forging Studio'?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Glass's originally bright face suddenly dimmed.

Her eyes drifted to the stove beside her, on which was placed warmed rice wine. Shen Yu understood and smiled as he took the wine jug and handed it to her.

Glass was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Shen Yu's gentle eyes. Without hesitation, he grabbed the wine jug and took a sip, then he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Our Chamber of Commerce... is about to change owners..." she whispered.

As she spoke, Shen Yu gradually understood.

Why can such a large chamber of commerce only hire two samurai to escort it? Why does the middle-aged man sigh constantly? And why does Sugawara Glass drink to relieve his sorrow?

The legendary Chamber of Commerce in the Iron Country, "The Swordsmith", is about to change hands.

Three months ago, the Ikawa family, one of the "Three Iron Masters", was held accountable by the daimyo for their poor sword forging. The head of the Ikawa family, Ikawa Genteru, fled for fear of punishment.

He emptied the mansion overnight, took away most of the Chamber of Commerce's funds, defected to the Water Kingdom, and the Ikawa family fled in all directions.

The daimyo was furious and ordered the heads of Niwa and Sugawara families to hunt down and bring Ikawa Genteru to justice, and appointed the shogunate army to assist, but they were attacked by a powerful enemy during the pursuit!

The shogunate army suffered heavy losses, and the head of the Sugawara family was seriously injured and died. Only the head of the "Isshinden" family, Niwa Maya, survived, but he was also seriously injured.

Before his death, the head of the Sugawara family entrusted his only daughter, Sugawara Nozomi, with the care of his daughter, and passed away.

The Sugawara family was already weak and was instigated by villains, so they refused to pass on the real skills. Once the head of the family died, the monkeys scattered like monkeys when the tree fell. When disaster struck, family members fled for their own places. Those who needed to hide their identities hid their identities, and those who needed to seek refuge fled. Soon, they were divided up by the powerful and wealthy.

Only the Niwa family, which insists on the true teachings, will not have to worry about inheritance. Although Niwa Mayo has no children, he has three apprentices, all of whom have received the true teachings from their master. However, they are inevitably weak and the empire is about to collapse.

In just a few months, most of the three inheritances were destroyed. "The Sword-Forging Studio" was powerless to recover. The turbulent undercurrent implicated countless powerful people, and all the aristocratic families involved were held accountable and exiled.

Niwa Maya's second disciple Ryunosuke could not bear to see "Tendosai" decline, so he suggested to Maya to marry Sugawara's only daughter to a powerful person in order to establish a relationship with him and use the power of the powerful to stabilize the situation.

But he was immediately opposed by Maya, who flew into a rage:

"My friend entrusted his daughter to me before his death because he couldn't bear to see her alone. Now you want me to sell his daughter for fame and fortune. Isn't that putting me in an unfair position? How will people in the world think of me?"

"Master, the building is about to collapse. Only by relying on the powerful can we have a glimmer of hope! As long as we can overcome the current difficulties, why should we be afraid of the gossip of the people?"

"Shut up, you evil creature. How is this different from betrayal? Don't mention this matter again!"

Ryunosuke had no choice but to give up.

After his apprentice left, Niwa Mayo calmed down. While his anger dissipated, the idea of ​​"depending on the powerful" still lingered in his mind.

Finally, he made a decision that shocked everyone.

"The head of Isshinden and the master of Totensai, Niwa Maya, wants to marry his only daughter. All the heroes in the world, any samurai who can stand to the end in the ring, regardless of age or background, can become the son-in-law of the Niwa family!"

After the news was announced, the entire Iron Kingdom was in an uproar. Ordinary people were extremely excited, and the powerful and wealthy were eager to try, and they all signed up enthusiastically.

The first reason is that Niwa Maya has no children. If he marries into the wife's family, then in the future, not only will he be able to inherit the "Isshinden" but also the entire "Tōsai"!

Secondly, Niwa Yukino was a beauty of extraordinary beauty. Although she was only 17 years old, she was tall and graceful with charming curves. With such a beauty, she was more than qualified to be a match for the powerful and wealthy.

For ordinary people, this is a great opportunity to rise to fame overnight, but the powerful and wealthy scoff at this, because these ordinary people simply cannot train warriors who can rival the great clans, and the position of the son-in-law of the "Swordsmith" will inevitably fall into the hands of the powerful and wealthy.

Sugawara Glass was so smart that she immediately smelled a conspiracy from this incident. The competition was about to come, but she was transferred away on a temporary mission. The Niwa family did not want her to ruin the plan and was determined to sell their daughter for fame and fortune.

But Yukino is not only her best friend, but also a sister who grew up with her. She guessed that she should have been the victim of this conspiracy, but because of the righteousness of the head of the Niwa family, her good sister became the scapegoat.

The reason why she was in such a hurry was because she wanted to go back as soon as possible. She wanted to marry in place of Yukino and couldn't bear to see her fall into the tiger's mouth.

"Originally, the person who was going to be the victim was me..." Glass' eyes were red as she held the empty wine jug.

Shen Yu looked at her, and a bold idea began to grow in his heart.

After the battle between Hashirama and Madara, the entire ninja world will be rewritten, because Hashirama will die in a few years, and Madara will not be able to escape because of the Moon Eye Project.

Without the suppression of the two great gods here, war is imminent.

The ninja world will inevitably fall into a long period of turmoil. By then, the economies of all the participating countries will be affected. Only the Iron Kingdom, which is independent of the ninja village system, can remain unscathed.

The Iron Country has plenty of warriors and outstanding sword-forging technology. It just so happens that the "Swordsmith" has encountered this incident. If we can help it overcome the difficulties, take the opportunity to invest in the Chamber of Commerce, start cross-border business, and sell weapons, wouldn't we be able to make a fortune?

If we can control the capital chain of the Iron Country, we may be able to conquer the Iron Country in the future. Some people have land and money, and with capital in hand, it is not impossible to train their own team!

As soon as this thought came to mind, it took root and sprouted wildly in Shen Yu's heart and could no longer be shaken off.

The conditions are generous, you can do it!

He took a deep breath and looked at Glass with burning eyes:

"Ms. Glass, I have a plan that can restore the Chamber of Commerce to its former glory."

"What?" Glass was slightly stunned. Looking at Shen Yu's sincere eyes and the confident smile on the corner of his mouth, she couldn't help but think of his powerful figure just now.

If it were him...

"What's your advice?"

Shen Yu picked up a fruit and put it into his mouth. "This matter can be complicated or simple. Let me ask you, what is the biggest crisis facing your Chamber of Commerce right now?"

"Sovereignty will soon change hands, and we will completely become a tool in the hands of the powerful." Naoko blurted out, "Yukino... will also lose her freedom and sacrifice her own happiness."

"Really? Do we have to rely on the powerful?" Shen Yu said with a smile: "If we don't do this, what else can we do?"

"If we don't do this..." Nazko was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said, "The Chamber of Commerce was originally run by the three family heads, so that it could be independent of the powerful. Now it has fallen apart, and most of its resources have been lost. Only Uncle Niwa is left... He will definitely not be able to support it..."

Shen Yu chewed the fruit and said, "If I can't hold on any longer, what else can I do?"

"It will..." Glass seemed to have grasped something crucial, "It will be plotted against by people with ulterior motives...it will be divided up and devoured..."

"So." Shen Yu knocked on the table. "In the final analysis, this matter is caused by the powerful people in the Iron Country. Their greed has caused your crisis."
