Naruto Reborn: The Rise of the Tsar

Chapter 71 The Beginning of Dawn

The Land of Rain, on the way to the border town.

There are broken walls and ruins everywhere, which are the remnants of the battle between Konoha and the ninjas of Sunagakure Village.

There was light rain falling in the sky, and a camel caravan was marching hard.

It was the Crescent Caravan led by Yuliang, but its size was three times larger than when it set off.

It is rare for such a large-scale caravan to pass by in the Kingdom of Rain. The surrounding villagers have used hard currency such as economic specialties or grain stored in their homes to make some simple exchanges with the caravan.

While the local economy was prospering, the caravan itself was also replenished, both in terms of materials and personnel.

After all, it is the caravan's practice to temporarily recruit a group of cheap apprentices to do some menial work.

Ohmaeda, the owner of the Guanaco Bell Caravan, is now serving as Yura's deputy, helping to manage this series of trivial matters.

However, the journey was not smooth. Three camels have become sick one after another. They are naturally a desert oasis, but in the mild and humid areas behind them, they become extremely fragile because they cannot adapt.

If it were the former Crescent Caravan, the guys might have already resold all the goods to local merchants with sales channels or traders from the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Earth.

But now, in a small town less than twenty miles away, Ohmaeda, the original owner of the Camel Bell caravan, owns a shop and trades livestock. Of course, at this time, it already belongs to Yura, the owner of the new Crescent Moon caravan. It is under the name of Fuchuan, the actual controller behind it.

The caravan will replace all the camels here with horses that are more suitable for the environment, and then sell the ore purchased by Sunagakure Village to the two countries of Earth and Fire.

"This damn rain makes me feel sticky every moment. It's so uncomfortable."

Hearing the complaints from his deputy Ohmaeda, Yuga asked curiously, "Isn't the Land of Rain your hometown?"

"I was born in the Land of Rain," Ohmaeda replied with a smile, "But I have been doing business with my father since I was six years old. I haven't really stayed in the Land of Rain for long. If we just talk about the climate, I prefer it. It’s better than the Fire Country, but the taxes there are too high and business is hard to do.”

Yura nodded silently. The Kingdom of Wind was short of resources. In order to attract merchants, the Daimyo simply exempted all the taxes involved in merchants. Therefore, even though the Kingdom of Wind had inconvenient transportation, as long as they could reach Sunagakure Village, they would always make money.

Of course, some additional management is indispensable, which is the same for the five major countries.

Ohmaeda was also secretly observing this 'agent' of the 'Black Blade of Sand'.

The other party is not very old, even younger than the already ridiculously young Black Blade himself.

Oh Maeda understands that for those big figures at the top of the five major countries, ability is only one aspect, the key is 'trust'.

When he was in Sunagakure Village before, he could feel the deep trust between Yura and Fukawa from all kinds of trivial things. It was not the loyalty between superiors and subordinates, but the relationship between him and the Black Blade itself. Have quite a personal relationship.

Moreover, because of the close relationship between the Kazama clan and Black Blade, his young boss even became friends with the future leader of the Kazama clan.

Being so young and having such a wealth of connections and resources in Sunagakure Village makes Ohmaeda envious.

Thinking back on himself, he had worked hard to run this trade route for more than twenty years, and spent an unknown amount of money secretly before he managed to establish a friendship with a small leader of the patrol team.

Really more popular than dead people ah!
However, after this period of time together, he found that his boss's abilities were surprisingly impeccable.

Not only the five major countries, but also the customs and customs of some unknown small countries can be explained clearly and clearly, and all the affairs of the caravan are clear and organized.At first glance, he looks like a veteran with many years of business experience.

Therefore, Ohmaeda did not dare to slack off in various matters, and he was dedicated to his responsibilities along the way.

Just as the caravan was moving forward leisurely, there was a sudden explosion.

Ohmaeda opened his eyes wide as a huge stone fell from the hillside.

It hit the front of the caravan, completely blocking the narrow road.

Immediately afterwards, many masked figures holding weapons slowly walked out from the surrounding trees, and the caravan surrounded them.

Oops!

It is not good to secretly follow the conscience. Because of the war, the ninjas from the Kingdom of Wind can only escort the caravan to the border of the Kingdom of Rain. It is not yet time to hire new ninjas.

At this time, a strong man with a head full of yellow hair carrying a huge mace came forward.

"Hand over all the valuable things you have on you, otherwise, hey."

"They are the brothers from Sagayama, right?" Omaeda suddenly thought of something, and immediately stepped forward and said peaceably, "I have some friendship with your boss, Hayato, and we showed a lot of respect before. This time I left in a hurry. See if you can be accommodating. When the matter is finished, I will definitely come to thank you!"

"Haha!" Unexpectedly, when the big man with yellow hair heard this, a ferocious look appeared on his face, and he kicked Ohmaeda, "What the hell!"

Caught off guard, Ohmaeda was kicked to the ground.

"That old guy was smashed to pieces by my stick a long time ago. I think you are tired of making trouble with him, hahaha!"

"This hero, caravans always only carry goods with them when they go out. The goods this time are some ores, and it is not easy for heroes to get rid of them." Yuliang said without being humble or arrogant. "Well, this time, even if I owe you heroes Yes, please let us go first, and I will use part of the proceeds to exchange for the supplies you need, whether it is weapons, food or other things, how about it?"

To be honest, this condition is quite generous. Sometimes these bandits are not short of gold and silver during their plundering, but it is difficult to convert the treasures in their hands into the needed materials and weapons. Yuliang's words The idea is to help them do some work of selling stolen goods.

While holding his painful chest, Ohmaeda secretly admired this suggestion. This suggestion did not cause much loss to the caravan, but also brought benefits to the other party's heart. Moreover, if the cooperation goes smoothly, this suggestion will be possible in the future. Safety on this line is guaranteed.

"That's an interesting statement." The big yellow-haired man holding the mace thought for a moment, then leaned into Yuliang's ear and said, "But why should I negotiate terms with this young boy and put you all at risk?" Get rid of it, wouldn’t it be more straightforward for us to set up a caravan ourselves?”

Hearing this, Youliang's complexion changed drastically.

At the same time, the huge mace hit Yura hard on the head!

Faced with such a shocking change, many of the guys were so frightened that they closed their eyes.

Bah!
Feeling that he was safe, Yuliang calmed down. At some point, a young man wearing a black robe stood in front of him.

A kunai held the mace firmly.

"Hey! We are a ninja organization called Akatsuki. Are you willing to hire us?"
