Roll back from Naruto

More than five million taels, this was the bounty Aragaki received after he packaged and sold the group of Mist Ninjas to the black market.

I'm a little disappointed, because a mighty elite jounin-level fog ninja is worth such a small amount of money, which is only one-seventh of the price of a Sarutobi Asuma.

So this also proves that sometimes it is impossible to increase one's worth based on one's own strength. It must also be determined by a series of comprehensive factors such as identity, status, fame, etc.

Of course, the more important thing is that you must have done something "outrageous" so that your employer can pay a lot of money to put you on the bounty list.

Moreover, Aragaki still has a little doubt, that is, regarding the shadows of each village, who has the courage to show the ceiling combat power of the ninja world on it?

So one day after Aragaki entered the black market, he asked the black market manager, if one day he brought the head of the Third Mizukage here, could the black market really pay him the more than 300 million bounty?

At that time, the manager was almost frightened to the point of gasping for breath, and he looked so confused that he didn't know how to answer.

After all, in the past, what they focused on in the black market of the ninja world was reputation and credibility. They claimed that as long as you dare to kill us, we dare to buy, and as long as you deliver the goods, we dare to release money.

And if another ordinary ninja asked him this, then forget it, after all, whoever comes here to patronize is not a vicious rebellious ninja, right?

What's wrong with saying "Fukage" with a few words of praise? When you become a rebel, it doesn't matter how strong you are, but at least you can't lose your momentum and fierceness.

But today, the person who asked him if he wanted to take Kage-level heads was Aragaki Tsugumi, who topped the bounty list so far and was worth 480 million. He had just defected from Konoha and had a record of being undefeated in battles with the two Kages of Water and Fire.

.

Not to mention that he had witnessed with his own eyes only a few days in advance how the God of Killing fought with that terrifying monster in Kakuzu, until most of the black market was demolished and there was still no winner...

Of course, later on, they fought against Konoha Jiraiya and Hatake Sakumo who were also famous on the list, and packed up a lot of Kirigakure...

You said that such a person asked you, "Will you accept Mizukage's head here?"

At least he, the manager of a small black market branch, didn't dare to think that the God of Killing was a joke. Maybe one day, Mizukage would really be killed by him.

And at that time, could their little underworld really be able to contain the big ghost Mizukage?

Therefore, the black market manager's final reply to Aragaki Tsugumi was very ambiguous, saying that they really couldn't accept people of Mizukage's level here, but that didn't mean that they couldn't do it elsewhere.

After all, above the underworld, there is the Yama Palace.

So according to what the manager said, that is to say, behind the scenes of the so-called black market in the ninja world, there is actually the hard power that can compete with the great ninja villages?

But this is ultimately an answer that is difficult to verify, because since the existence of the black market who knows how many years ago, no shadow of a ninja village has died at the hands of a bounty hunter and was later exchanged for money.

After all, it is now recognized that the ceiling of the bounty world is Kakuzu, and it is obviously impossible for Kakuzu to hunt down any Kage easily.

It's just...it seems that the black market pattern will also undergo new changes from now on.

After all, Aragaki Tsugumi, the anonymous bounty hunter named "Musashi" has completed the second bounty order in his career and successfully promoted to the A-level bounty hunter.

The black market manager looked at the young figure of "Musashi" leaving. For some reason, he suddenly had an indescribable premonition.

What is uncertain is whether the emergence of "Musashi" is good or bad for today's bounty world?

…

Aragaki left this town, and his next destination, the capital of the Country of Fire, could also be called Kyoto, which is also the city where the daimyo is located.

Kyoto is the most prosperous city in the land of fire, the richest city in the ninja world.

If you look at it from the perspective of a secular mortal, then Kyoto is the center of the world, at least in the eyes of ordinary people in the Land of Fire.

For ninjas, the so-called "center" is naturally each family's village.

There is a natural separation and estrangement between ninjas and the secular world, so unless necessary for a mission, ninjas generally have few opportunities to go to Kyoto.

For example, the ninjas called the Guardian Twelve Ninjas usually stay in the Daming Mansion to protect the Daimyo.

Of course, as for the true meaning of the existence of the Guardian Twelve Ninja, is it for protection, surveillance, or control? It is intriguing.

So in general, ninjas and ninja villages have reached a certain tacit understanding with the daimyo who are at the pinnacle of power in the secular world, that is, ninjas will not interfere with the secular world, and the ninja world and the secular world should be two different worlds.

I'm afraid this is why Aragaki has become famous in the ninja world and has become a master who is not inferior to Kage in terms of reputation, but he is still a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, let alone a big city.

Country bumpkin Aragaki is coming to town! Congratulations.

…

After several days of running around, Aragaki finally saw Kyoto with towering city walls, numerous watchtowers, and majestic palaces on a vast plain.

Kyoto is a flat city, which means it is built on flat land. It is very different from a mountain city or a water city.

As the name suggests, mountain cities and water cities are built near mountains and rivers, mainly to rely on the mountain and water potential to form defenses.

But now, since the end of the samurai era, the significance of mountain and water castles as defensive cities no longer exists.

After all, ninjas are beings that can transcend time and space! How can mere mountains and rivers stop them?

Therefore, Pingcheng, a city with developed transportation and numerous connections, has become an advantageous area that can develop commerce, agriculture and even industry the fastest.

So now Kyoto, after being away from the war for countless years, has become prosperous enough.

It can be said that it is a completely different world from the Great Ninja Village like Konoha. Of course, it is not just described in terms of "prosperous".

Niigaki's most intuitive feeling is that he has the illusion of returning to "modern" society.

Probably because in this world, so-called "wars" have been contracted by ninjas and ninja villages.

The people in Kyoto were too far away from the war, this was what he felt.

Even though the Fire Country is still at war with the Wind Country and the Rain Country, I am afraid that the battles between ninjas are just a joke after dinner in the eyes of the people of Kyoto who live a comfortable life in the prosperous age.

However, in the eyes of those who truly control absolute power, these peace and prosperity are just whitewashed magnificence, nothing more than appearance.

Perhaps one day, when the fragile agreement between ninjas and the secular world is broken, places like Kyoto will burst into flames, and thousands of buildings will collapse in just an instant.
