Madara, let's change the world together!

The long caravan drove onto the road paved with bluestone slabs.

Kakuzu observed his surroundings.

The area is shrouded in mist, making visibility poor.

On the road, one could frequently encounter ragged civilians, who clearly lacked the spirit and energy of the civilians from the Land of Fire.

With his excellent eyesight, he could vaguely see large buildings hidden in the mist.

Most of them are cylindrical or barrel-shaped, and there are also many green plants growing on the buildings.

After walking for about an hour, the pufferfish demon led the caravan to a large open space.

"Alright, just wait here. Someone will come to discuss business with you."

At that moment, Tomoya came to the pufferfish demon's side and spoke in an admiring tone.

"Lord Sugiyama, I'd really like to visit Kirigakure and broaden my horizons."

"I wonder if you could take me inside and tell me about the local culture and scenery?"

"Furthermore, I'll know what Kirigakure lacks so that the caravan can bring more next time."

Suigetsu Hozuki looked thoughtful.

Yes, that's definitely possible.

As a Jonin, he has the authority to bring an ordinary person into the village for a visit.

Tomoya is very sensible, and he always gets a lot of reward money every time he comes.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to lead a group of people to intercept Kakuzu.

Tomoya is such a sensible young man, we should definitely keep in touch with him more often, but we can't let him come into contact with other Jonin of the same rank.

"Okay! No problem!"

"Today, I'll take you on a tour of the village and let you have some fun."

The pufferfish demon patted Tomoya on the shoulder and burst into laughter.

"Thank you, brother!"

"Brother Xiguashan, I'll cover all your expenses for today!"

"No, no, no, that would be too embarrassing."

"Of course I want it! This is my sincere offer! I hope you can be understanding, brother."

"Good good!"

Based on his years of experience as a merchant, Tomoya made the pufferfish demon sound very happy.

To put it bluntly, in this Hidden Mist Village, you can call out his name and no one can bully Tomoya.

Meanwhile, Kakuzu silently watched this scene from the side.

He was not suited to enter the village, especially with all the ninjas watching him.

Tomoya alone is capable of completing the task of observing Kirigakure.

Then he

Kakuzu focused his mind, first using the Hidden State to conceal the chakra fluctuations within his body, and then using the Ripple State to spread his sensory chakra outwards.

It was as if a three-dimensional image had appeared in his mind, mapping the shapes of the objects there into his brain.

One hundred people, two hundred people, five hundred people, one thousand people

There are a thousand people in this area alone, of whom six hundred are ninjas who have trained in chakra.

Let's use the ripple state detection again during the transaction period.

Specific intelligence about the village can only be obtained by Tomoya alone.

In this way, the task can be completed.

At this time, some members of the caravan had already begun to conduct investigations around Kirigakure, within the area where they could move.

He is not a single person.

Now he's the head manager of the caravan!

Maybe I'll get promoted again in four or five years.

The caravans from Chu Ri Village that traveled to the five hidden villages all successfully established basic connections with each of them.

For villages like Konoha that allow outsiders to settle in, Hatsuhi Village sent people to open some large shops there.

This year marks a policy shift in Churi Village, leading to closer and more aggressive economic ties with the outside world.

At the same time, the Rain Kingdom also welcomed a caravan from the Village of First Sun.

However, the caravan leader was Kiyoi Gen, who had just learned the strongest life-saving ninjutsu.

"Lord Yuan, we have arrived."

Hearing Xingyan's voice outside, Fengsha stepped out of the carriage and opened a large umbrella.

Kiyoshi then got out of the car and came to Kazesa's side.

In the land of rain, the drizzling rain has almost never stopped.

Looking at the enormous building before him, Kiyoshi nodded and walked inside with the others.

The building here was constructed six months ago by a caravan from Kiyoi-gen with the consent of Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure.

Upon hearing that the caravan intended to make economic investments here, Hanzo was overjoyed and offered to send ninjas to guard and protect the area free of charge.

The caravan agreed, but only allowed the Rain Ninja to be stationed on the outskirts of the area.

This area has become the core base for caravans in the Land of Rain.

As soon as Kiyoshi Gen entered the office, the Black Zetsu from his sleeve flew out and climbed onto the desk.

"Kiyoshi Gen, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Neither Bai Miao, the beautiful bodyguard who entered at the same time as Qingjingyuan, nor Feng Sha were surprised.

They already knew that Black Zetsu had temporarily become Kiyoi Gen's subordinate.

Kiyoshi sat down at his desk, and at that moment, Bai Miao thoughtfully brought him a cup of hot tea.

There's no rush now.

"Let's gather some information about Amegakure for now."

"This place will probably become a battlefield soon."

"The moment the Second Shinobi World War ends will be the time when we really need you."

Chapter 71: The Second Shinobi World War Erupts

[Three chapters released together today]

Time passed quietly, and Kiyoshi Gen kept going back and forth between Hatsuhi Village and Amegakure Village to work.

Meanwhile, Amegakure Village was also quietly undergoing changes due to the influence of the caravans.

The Churi Village caravan disregarded personal gain and loss to establish many basic commercial facilities here, such as a large-scale vegetable market, bathhouse, restaurants, izakayas, and other convenient amenities.

Furthermore, Qingjingyuan provided manual labor jobs for the impoverished villagers, leading to a recovery trend in the local economy.

People's lives have visibly improved a little.

Hanzo was very pleased with this and visited the post several times.

Meanwhile, the number of Rain Ninja in the commercial area is also increasing.

This led to some conflicts.

For example, some Rain Village ninja openly demanded benefits, even asking the shops here to give them huge discounts.

And the reason is...

We're ninjas! We're the guardians of this place!

Without us, you simply wouldn't be able to do business or open a shop here!

Faced with this situation, Kiyoi Gen naturally sent someone to demand an explanation from Hanzo.

Although Hanzo responded with an apology and offered compensation, his subordinates continued to behave inappropriately, only quieting down for a while.

According to Kiyoshi Gen.

While Hanzo valued these caravans, he valued the armed forces under his command even more.

Although he was grateful for the changes the caravan had made to the Land of Rain, he did not take the caravan leader, Kiyoi Genta, seriously.

Perhaps this is why the Daimyo of the Land of Rain has hardly spoken up, and has simply been placed there as a mascot.

Hanzo is the one who truly controls the entire Land of Rain.

Besides the ninjas from Amegakure harassing the commercial area, some people in the Land of Rain also harbored hostility towards it.

Stealing, robbing, and smashing.

Although these troublemakers were brought under control by the ninjas of Amegakure, it was still only a temporary solution.

There was always a group of people who harbored strong hostility towards the merchant caravans from outside Qingjingyuan.

Perhaps it was because the grain sold in the markets run by the caravans was much cheaper than what they sold, making it difficult for them to make a profit.

However, the grain prices set by Qingjingyuan here are similar to those in the Land of Fire, and are not too low.

It can only be said that the cost of living in the Land of Rain is much higher than in the Land of Fire.

The greatest happiness is for the common people here to have enough to eat.

The intervention of the Kiyomoto caravan, while reducing the cost of living for ordinary people, also impacted the original market, making it harder for merchants to earn as much money.

As a result, the caravan's camp might have been even more chaotic if it hadn't been protected by the ninjas of Amegakure.

After encountering these things, Kiyoi Gen sighed.

If people in a region have to work hard just to make ends meet, then they really have no energy left to pursue happiness.
