Anbu Biography

Of course, you can't just use photos of daimyos from other countries to do this kind of thing. Even if the country of birds is not big, it will cause international problems.

Fortunately, Skye just said that. In the end, everyone took a group photo in a normal way—just in front of the display booth in the country of birds.

Compared with other countries, even the display booths in the country of birds seem to be deserted—maybe these products are really good, but if they can’t be mass-produced and supplied to various countries, the small and refined production is actually not suitable for these poor people surrounding small countries.

What they need more is to survive as smoothly as possible-relying on food, vast and vast fields, cash crops that can seek respite under the five major countries, and all materials that are sufficient to support themselves in the ninja world.

"That's all for all kinds..."

Toki said: "Although we have thought about selling these items to the five major countries, considering the transportation costs and a variety of reasons, we are not competitive in terms of price or other aspects... Made you laugh."

Fruit looks tempting—but only tempting.The fruits cultivated by Bird Country are bright in color and fragrant, beautiful and delicate, just like this small land surrounded by rivers and small lakes.

"They are often only supplied to daimyo's mansions and sacrifices. Even if they intend to sell them to the outside world, the resistance in terms of price and business routes will be very troublesome..."

Kiyohiko took a quick glance and found that Bird Country provided some common fruits, but...

"Can I taste it? Will pay."

He pointed to the stacked grapes and opened his mouth.

"Ah, of course, but this kind of breed is usually used in sacrificial occasions..."

As if afraid of being misunderstood by the other party, the young daimyo added in a low voice: "Although the aroma is very attractive, but... because of the strong astringency, few people like this."

In short, varieties that smell good may not necessarily taste good.From Kakashi's point of view, this kind of grapes are small in size, dark in color, crowded together in clusters, with thick skins... There is a significant difference compared to the species that came from here.

But the black-haired young man next to him obviously didn't think so.

He picked up a grape from a bunch of grapes, carefully put it under his nose and sniffed it, then put it into his mouth.

"..."

In the eyes of everyone, he rubbed his chin in thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "Sorry, I really can't judge it by myself."

Everyone: "..."

Unlike Toki and his entourage, who seemed a little speechless, Kakashi knew very well that this guy never did useless work: "So, what did you plan to judge?"

——If humans can’t do it, maybe he can let the main body come to summon the Ninja Dog, but the Ninja Dog can only provide help with the sense of smell, after all, the dog will be poisoned if it eats grapes.

He took advantage of the opportunity and also pinched a grape. The taste was really unexpected. To be honest, this kind of grape would have a rather mellow taste without the skin, but too many grape seeds, small size and thick skin greatly lowered the overall taste. score.

"—Actually, it's brewing, but I can't make a good assessment on my own. This kind of thing needs to be done by more professional people."

As he said that, Qingyan took out the knife handle, and slowly unfolded it in front of everyone.

"You mean, are you going to buy these grapes?"

Toki was obviously surprised by the other party's decision, but his expression was eager and full of hope.Naturally, she knows the current situation of Bird Country better than anyone else, and if there is even the slightest chance of turning the country's economic situation around, she will definitely make it happen with no effort.

"Well... In short, let's listen to what the professionals say."

The black-haired young man stretched out his hand, took out a short knife from the paper of the knife account, and placed a talisman on it.

It was the first time that Toki and her subordinates were surprised when they saw the scene of a big transformation into a living person, but they all controlled their expressions properly, as if this was some kind of Konoha ninja that couldn't be announced to everyone. A secret ninjutsu for humans.

"Don't move the light, 99 shots, hiccup...I'm lying to you! I'm in the best condition and waiting for your call!"

The dagger with purple hair appeared in front of everyone: "It is a great honor to meet you again in this era as your trusted sword."

"...short knife?"

Kakashi raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't look like he's old enough to drink."

"So saying that a sword is the same as a ninja, it cannot be described with common sense...and you are not the same."

——Although he was instigated by himself to drink underage, but Kakashi didn't refuse at all at that time.

After a short personal introduction, Qingyan stated his needs straightforwardly: "Actually, I want you to help taste these grapes...Although I prefer amazake, you have done some research on this, right?"

Seven years is enough time for an alcoholic to become a reliable sword, and enough time for him to develop a more rational and comprehensive taste for alcohol.After hearing this request, Fudo Xingguang was obviously a little embarrassed, but it was the master's request after all...

He quickly looked at the crowd, pinched a grape, first sniffed it under his nose professionally, then put it in his mouth solemnly, and closed his eyes.

After a long time, the boy made a judgment: "I think... this is a very good breed, and I think it should be able to meet your requirements, my lord."

In this regard, Kiyohiko trusted Fudo Yukimitsu's judgment very much, and immediately turned to look at Toki, the daimyo of the country of birds: "That's easy to say, about the long-term purchase contract of this grape... May I ask you this?" Is there any corresponding talent nearby who can provide a quotation and supply plan?"

"Eh??"

Is this decision a little too swift and decisive... Everyone, including Toki, thought so in their hearts.

"In short, various things have happened... If possible, I would like to establish a long-term and stable procurement channel to the country of birds."

Qingyan's expression was quite sincere, but the words he said were completely different from his personal identity: "You don't have to worry about being robbed in the middle of the delivery. After everything is finalized, I will send reliable subordinates to organize horses and horses to regularly go to the country of birds to collect Goods—as long as the price is relatively reasonable and a long-term and stable supply can be maintained, I can try my best to overcome the remaining problems.”

The other party's promise was so unexpected that it seemed like an overly sweet trap.Toki thought of many things at this moment - the tragic war brought about by ninjas, the streets where rogues rampage and closed doors, the country that can't even pay a B-level mission, and those who are suffering despite suffering The citizens who still live on this land.

She looked at Qingyan solemnly, with complicated emotions in her eyes.

This may be a trap, it may even be just a joke.Ninjas seldom do extraneous things. Maybe the price that the other party is about to offer will be unbearable for the country of birds, or there may be some overlord clauses and other agreements accompanied by deterrent force...

But it's also an opportunity for Birdland.

The opponent, like Naruto-kun, is also a ninja of Konoha, so there is a high probability that he is trustworthy.

"I understand."

Toki said: "The Nation of Birds will definitely do their best to cooperate—Hongming."

The man with the mustache whose name was named nodded solemnly: "Then, Your Excellency Qing Yan, I will be in charge of the relevant matters—we can start discussions at any time, but I think your task should not be completed yet. Finish?"

"it does not matter."

He said casually: "I have very trustworthy subordinates who can carry out this matter."

The job of a god judge is really convenient——Kakashi's shadow clone stood aside holding the camera, watching the other party draw a second sword in the same form: this time it was a sword.

"Hasebe, although it's a little too late to explain the situation, it's up to you to cooperate with Hongming to finalize the relevant details of the purchase contract. As for the relevant prices and industry conditions..."

His tone paused slightly: "It's similar to the situation I told you in Honmaru in the past. If you still have doubts, you can consult Nara Shikamaru—that guy is unexpectedly reliable."

Even though he was a newcomer, Yakiri Hasebe still nodded solemnly, and had no objection to Kiyohiko's arrangement: "Understood, your will is my will."

When Hongming, Hasebe and Fudo Yukimitsu left together, in a quiet corner of the market, Kiyohiko let out a sigh of relief leaning against the tree behind him, and finally slid down slowly.

"—Sure enough, if the thing called spiritual power is consumed too much, it will bring a mental load like chakra, right?"

"Skaia" stretched out his hand and pulled him up from the ground: "Obviously, you can just wait one more day... It doesn't matter if this kind of thing is not so urgent, right? Toki won't just because of a day's difference Return to the country of birds early."

"...What qualifications do you have to say about me?"

Most of Qingyan's weight rested on the opponent's body. As a shadow clone, this guy persisted for a long time, so that Qingyan even felt that if he weighed another two or three catties, maybe it would be enough to let him go. This avatar dissipated freely: "It's almost time to disband and send the message back to the main body, right?"

"...I'll take you back first, and next time this happens, at least you should keep your sword by your side."

Probably because the shadow avatar does not have to carry as many things as the main body, or Kakashi is a very fine person in nature, and the curly-haired "little reporter" seems to have been acting online all the time: "If it goes well, the task on the main body should be It's almost there."

At the market, including the two newly summoned ones today, there are now four towns of swords protecting them in the dark, and with Nara Shikamaru supporting them, it should be difficult for any major problems to arise—after putting those three people back At that time, it was not in vain to knock the mountain and shake the tiger.

Lying on the tatami provided by the Daimyo Mansion in Tanokuni, Kiyohiko finally fell into a short and dreamless sleep.

——Just like the countless times in the past, the training in Anbu.

After waking up again, the sun outside the window had already set in the west.

On the table in the room was a notebook, neatly stacked with the surrounding manuscripts.The shadow clone has long been missing, and it is the limit to be able to persist until this time when the chakra is exhausted.

Next to him, there was an extra silver-haired Jonin—with a very familiar expression, bandaging his body.

There was a big cut in the dark green uniform vest, which was stained with fairly fresh blood, but for ninjas, such wounds are commonplace. Kakashi raised his eyelids without saying a word: "Did you sleep well?"

"--fine."

Qing Yan sat up: "Your mission is over?"

"Let's just say it's over... Orochimaru seems to be giving up this base for a short time, but this guy has always been cunning, and he may not have other strongholds in Tianzhi Country."

Kakashi pointed at his bulging backpack. When he left the village, the bag seemed a little empty, but now it seems that he has already taken on the unbearable weight of his life: "Generally, I picked and brought some materials back. At that time, there was an encounter with the old department who stayed here... I guess he did it on purpose, but it was just to embarrass the people who came here later."

With fanatical expressions, those people vowed to live and die with this base, and if they jumped out of this strange circle of thinking, it would be easy to find that when Orochimaru chose to leave this base, there was no longer any survival here. .

——The only real part of this sentence is "swear to die".Orochimaru has always adhered to the policy of casting a wide net, and has carried out the idea of ​​​​"ninjas are easy-to-use tools" to the extreme. As long as new tool people continue to flow in, then this level of depreciation loss is nothing.

"Is it really appropriate to disclose the content of the mission to me?"

Kiyohiko blinked his eyes: "——, the captain of the dark part?"

"Well, even if I don't tell you, you can still guess pretty well..."

Kakashi rolled his eyes and smiled: "Although I don't know what you want to do next, Kiyo, I still think it's better for you to know a little bit."

After finishing speaking, as if the smile just never existed, Kakashi quickly restrained his expression: "—Sometimes even I feel that ninjas are really simple and complicated creatures."

Naruto would definitely be confused if he said this, after all Kakashi's expression was vague and euphemistic, but Kiyohiko still understood.

——In short, this is nesting dolls.

Konoha is constantly monitoring Orochimaru.

Orochimaru knew that Konoha was watching him.

Konoha knew that Orochimaru knew that Konoha was watching him... and would send people to periodically obtain some of Orochimaru's research materials.

Orochimaru knows that Konoha knows that Orochimaru knows...and he has kept tossing around in countless bases, occasionally leaving some data like taillights, and occasionally leaving a group of subordinates who make people stumble.

In the final analysis, Orochimaru’s defection was initially discovered because of excessive human experiments, and the sources of these human experiments’ samples have always been contributed by Konoha Root under Danzo’s command—to put it nicely, it’s an alliance of interests, but it’s ugly For a little bit, the term "a nest of snakes and rats" is a perfect description.

In the past so many years, Konoha has not taken any major measures to crusade Otonin. Instead, he has remained silent about Orochimaru's silent development of its own power in Tanokuni. This silence itself is a silent testimony.

In any case, as an armed group, Konoha really needs these first-hand research data. In a sense, the research results made by Orochimaru have even promoted the progress of many medical ninjutsu.

It is undeniable that this method is too cruel and the price is too high, and within Muye Village, this kind of thing cannot be allowed to happen.

——However, it can be done outside the village.

As the saying goes, life is priceless, but life in different regions has its own price.

During the Ninja World War, if one was born in a small country like the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain, which is located in the center of the vortex of war, it would not be unusual to die in any way.The uncle of Yile Ramen has sold ramen for his whole life, and Kanligan’s chestnut yokan can be said to have taken care of three generations. But in more parts of the world, it is almost a luxury to open a shop safely.

A more cruel statement is that Konoha Village has been unable to provide such a large amount of cheap life as consumables for human experiments, so Orochimaru left either actively or passively—even with the tacit approval of Danzo.

Of course, this acquiescence may be regarded as the tears of the times. Danzo, who failed in the Hokage election, desperately needs to seek greater benefits, and hits off with the goal of Orochimaru, but anyway...

"Ah Qing, do you feel disappointed?"

Kakashi spoke suddenly, this was the third time he asked this question.

For this village of hidden shadows, for this seemingly hopeless world.

Even though Danzo even tried to assassinate the third generation, this village still relies on such a necessary evil, and even keeps grabbing the knowledge obtained by Orochimaru's research-even if everyone knows the origin of this knowledge.

After saying this sentence, Kakashi suddenly regretted it—probably because the amount of information transmitted by the shadow clone was too complicated, and even affected his own decision-making.

This is the disadvantage of using avatars for intelligence collection... Kakashi thought with some headaches, the memories, emotions, mental load and a series of effects experienced by each avatar will be instantly added to the main body after the avatar is released Above all, if it weren't for a single-celled creature like Naruto who doesn't think about anything on weekdays, it would be hard not to be disturbed by the clone after the ninjutsu is lifted.

It seems that during these two days, he himself listened to the Noh, participated in the hunt for the wandering ninja who wanted to disrupt the festival, wrote and recorded the activities of Tanokuni this time, and stared at the guy in front of him. New deal together.

The personalities of the avatar and the main body are often subtly different. Some people have judged that this is because the shadow avatar does not bear the same responsibilities and mental pressure as the main body. Of course, there is no theoretical basis for this gossip circulating in the dark department, but... …

In any case, the emotions passed on are still vivid in his memory, even enough to make him have a new interest in this "future dream", and some unnecessary expectations.

"There's nothing to be disappointed about, but don't forget that I'm also from Anbe."

Kiyohiko smiled knowingly, then raised an index finger.

"—Set a small goal first."

The author has something to say:

After the little alcoholic is polarized, he will stop drinking heavily and drink reasonably.

Orochimaru has been fighting until Bo Renchuan has not been sanctioned because Konoha has always needed what he researched (official design)

Orochimaru's defection has Danzang's pusher, which is also an official setting
