From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 343: Black Zetsu and Danzo's Plot, Ninja Trading Center: Rain Country
Konoha, sealing barrier.

As the new generation of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, during this period of time, Uzumaki Kushina's seal was actually not as strong as Naruto's later.

Therefore, after he became a Jinchūriki, his movements were restricted, which is also the origin of the sealing barrier.

Inside the building below the rock wall, the spiral staircase looks like the emblem of the Uzumaki clan.

Where the barrier is, on the floor of the house, there are symbols identical to this clan emblem.

According to Uzumaki Mito, this thing that looks like a family emblem can strengthen the Uzumaki clan's sealing power.

"There are many variations of the Four Symbols Seal, but not everyone can improve it according to their own ideas. The last person who did it was the First Hokage. This is what Grandma Mito told me."

They were talking about the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique, but Kushina soon noticed that Minato was absent-minded and became a little angry.

During the war, as the main fighting force capable of taking on independent tasks, they had very little time to return to the village.

And because of the presence of observers, they have even less time to be alone.

"Humph."

Kushina snorted and looked away.

After waiting for a while, he still didn't see Minato coming to comfort him.

After taking a few peeks, the anger turned into worry.

"What's wrong? Is it because of that kid Obito?"

"Huh? Huh?"

Minato looked up at Kushina, stunned for a moment with a confused look on his face.

Then he smiled and sighed, "I'm so sorry Kushina, for some reason...that caused me to be distracted."

Kushina pouted, "Can't you tell me?"

Minato tilted his head slightly, his eyes flickering in the direction of the observer.

Kushina saw this clearly and chose not to ask.

The two then continued to study the sealing technique, but their suppressed voices had another exchange.

"During this mission at Kannabi Bridge, I met a man. He taught me many new ideas, ideas that I had never considered before."

"Thought?"

"Yes, because these new ideas seem to have cleared up a lot of mysteries for me. Among them, the most important one is you."

Hearing this, Kushina was stunned: "Me?"

Minato nodded slightly, "If this is politics... then perhaps you are also different from that senior in my identity."

At this, Minato smiled.

"Don't worry, I will protect you no matter what."

Kushina frowned, "But you didn't even explain what happened."

Minato ruffled her red hair: "I'll take care of everything."

……

At the same time, deep in the darkness underground.

Half of his body was repaired with White Zetsu's Hashirama cells, and Obito, who was still unconscious, was wrapped up like a dumpling.

Next to the stone bed, two White Zetsu were arguing.

"How is he going to poop if he's wrapped up like this?"

"Idiot, you still need to poop when you have Hashirama's cells?"

"You're the idiot! If we can't poop, how are we supposed to peek? How are we supposed to know what it feels like to poop?"

……

On the other side, Uchiha Madara hunched over and looked at the young man on the stone platform.

Being able to give one's already opened Sharingan to one's companion at the last moment of life, such a bond has already met the requirements.

According to the intelligence from past surveillance, the girl in the team is his most precious thing.

But such a dark world, no matter how much it is cherished, will eventually be destroyed by war.

The so-called bonds are meaningless. Only when the war is truly ended and peace truly comes can the world usher in light.

Hashirama...you are wrong.

After your death, the scale of war in this world becomes larger, and more people die each time.

The tailed beasts also became weapons of war. With such huge chakra, a tailed beast ball could destroy a village with one blow.

"Only by seeing the truth of this world can you understand the greatness of the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

Uchiha Madara looked at Black Zetsu: "I don't have much time left. Once everything is arranged, he will be able to inherit my name and carry out the plan."

Black Zetsu: "But that person is obviously targeting him just like us. White Zetsu has been killed by him several times. If he is not careful this time..."

Uchiha Madara's eyes were gloomy: "He can't watch every moment. When the Infinite Tsukuyomi comes, he will also become a member of the peaceful world."

Black Zetsu nodded and retreated.

On the surface, it is the manifestation of Uchiha Madara's will.

Refutation and speculation about that person cannot be explained.

However, Uchiha Madara is too old and his life is coming to an end, so someone must be able to continue the future plans.

The arrangements made with Uchiha Obito can continue, but the safety here must be guaranteed.

If he were discovered, given Uchiha Madara's current condition, he would probably not be a match for that person.

……

On the other side, underground of Konoha, at the root.

Danzo was flipping through the scroll information and was currently pondering the contents.

The Third Ninja World War has been going on for more than a year. Currently, there is a conflict between Kumogakure and Sandagakure, but Kirigakure has also joined the siege of Konoha.

The war cannot stop. It must continue and the village will suffer heavy losses, which will force Sarutobi Hiruzen to resign from the position of Hokage.

Only in this way can he have a chance.

"grown ups."

"Come in."

Nebu Terai, wearing a mask, knelt on one knee, holding a scroll in both hands.

"Information about Minato Namikaze."

Danzo took it and unfolded it, frowning as well.

He went to a pub with a strange face, but before he was about to sit down, he left using the Flying Thunder God Technique, apparently having discovered a Root member who was monitoring him.

No, the surveillance was discovered a long time ago, but Jiraiya's disciple has always seemed very sensible.

So... the key point lies in the person with the unfamiliar face.

"Did you write down the face?"

"Portrait in the first place."

Danzo closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"Then let the surveillance team take note of it and investigate its identity."

"clear."

Terai left, while Danzo continued to look at the information scroll about Minato Namikaze.

The golden flash of Konoha?
Such a name reminded him of the past Hatake Sakumo, the man who was also famous in the ninja world as the Konoha White Fang, but eventually ended his life in the most stupid way.

Hiruzen hadn't expected the same thing from him.

Giving up the mission and choosing to save people is stupid, and choosing to commit suicide in the face of rumors is also stupid. People with stains cannot become Hokage, but they can become swords, right?
Flying Thunder God Technique...

The same trick did not succeed this time, but another point was exposed.

The Uchiha clan's Sharingan...

During this mission, Uchiha Obito opened his eyes, but before he died, he gave them to Kakashi of the Hatake clan.

The family that has been in charge of the security forces since the teacher's death has always been arrogant.

It is the consensus of these big clans that bloodline cannot be passed on to outsiders.

"fog."

"grown ups."

"Spread the news of the battle at Kannabi Bridge to the Uchiha clan."

"clear."

"In the battle of Kannabi Bridge, a Sharingan hero from the Uchiha clan was born in Konoha."

"Understood, my lord."

……

Classes at the Rain Country Academy are still going on, and the number of the second batch of students has reached more than 1,600.

Among these more than 1,600 people, only more than 200 have awakened their domineering power, but 80% of them have open minds and have learned how to think and look at problems.

Preparations for the first assessment have already begun, but the Rain Country is unable to accommodate hundreds of schools.

In the office, Hanzo was talking about the recent developments in the Ninja World War.

"From the current perspective, if Sand Village and Kumogakure no longer attack Konoha, Iwagakure and Kirigakure alone may not be able to defeat Konoha."

Kevin smiled.

This expression made Hanzo a little stunned.

Because in the past few years, the gentleman seemed to have rarely smiled.

"The five great ninja villages... every one of these people has their own thoughts. I'm afraid that the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure has no longer set his sights on Konoha."

Kevin paused and said, "After showing our strength, this Ninja World War will most likely have little to do with us. So our focus still needs to be on development."

Hanzo nodded and replied, "The research institute that Sir asked for is about to be completed. All the equipment has been purchased according to Orochimaru's advice, but..."

"Sir, you know that the Rain Country is a small country, and the resources produced domestically have always been insufficient."

"The cost of this research institute has consumed nearly ten years of accumulation. It is also because the war has been shut out that the ninjas and people in the village have not yet expressed any radical voices."

Kevin sighed upon hearing this.

He reached out and patted Hanzo on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. The accumulation of original capital is the most difficult, whether it is an individual or a country."

"The Third Ninja World War has reached this point now. We can try to implement some things."

"After the first ideological assessment of the second-term academy members, the students who successfully graduated and awakened their domineering aura... no, comrades, were divided into two teams to implement absolute safety protection for the caravans in the Rain Country."

"Let the professional scholars formulate rules and regulations for the caravans. At the same time, the combat forces of the squads must be distributed throughout the Rain Country to ensure the safety of the caravans."

“Then…put the ad out.”

Hanzo: "Advertisement?"

Kevin smiled and said, "Advertisement is to spread the word. The video recorder recorded the protection process of the caravan in the early stage, and after it was reproduced, we paid to broadcast it in various countries."

Hanzo was a little confused: "Will this really work?"

Kevin pointed at the map on the wall and said, "The Rain Country borders not only the three major countries, but also the Bird Country, Grass Country, and River Country. As the center of the six countries, this place can become an absolutely safe commercial center for the six countries."

"Tell all merchants that the protection of the Rain Country is not only to protect their safety on the trade route, but also to protect the fairness and justice of the trade. At the same time, no fees will be charged for escort missions."

No mission fees?
How can this make money?

Without money, how will so many graduating students eat?

The current number of schools is already the limit of what the Rain Country can bear.

If I don't get paid, I won't be able to hold on for long...

"gentlemen……"

"We collect business taxes, which is the amount of money after the transaction, and we take a portion of it as business taxes."

Kevin pondered for a moment and said, "The specific amount needs to be carefully studied from the profits of the goods trading. It can't be too high, it should be appropriately low. In this way, those who don't make a deal don't have to pay taxes."

……

Hanzo felt a little confused after leaving School No. 1.

In fact, he is indeed a genius in military force, but he is definitely not a genius in politics and business, and Kevin is neither.

However, standing on the shoulders of giants, given the unique geographical location of the Rain Country, the first thing he thought of was commercial taxes.

At the same time, this idea also requires the right time.

The war among the five major countries has been going on for more than a year. Due to the rise of Rain Country, the five major ninja villages can no longer use Rain Country as a battlefield.

But if this happens, the other three small countries around will naturally be in trouble.

The Sand Village attacked Konoha from the River Country, and the Iwagakure attacked Konoha from the Grass Country. At the same time, the two also gathered in the Bird Country to prevent each other from stabbing each other by surprise.

As a result, none of the six countries neighboring the Rain Kingdom is in chaos.

The geography of this world is also extreme, perhaps related to thousands of years ago. The Kingdom of Wind is full of deserts, the Kingdom of Earth is full of loess, and the Kingdom of Rain has drizzles all year round.

Different geographical environments have resulted in different resource characteristics.

When things from the south are sold to the north, their level will naturally double. Caravans have always existed for the sake of profit, and they are also the type of tasks with the largest number of commissions from the ninja village.

But it is obvious that there is a lack of a trading center, a safe, reliable, fair and just trading center.

The geographical location of the Rain Country is just right.

……

The day's classes ended and Kevin appeared in Konoha again.

Compared to the Rain Country, the richest place in the Ninja World, the difference is huge in terms of food and liveliness.

At this time, Kevin had realized his changes after talking with Minato Namikaze.

In the past few years, he has never cared about food or fun.

But people should not be separated from the masses.

Liking delicious food, liking lively scenes, and seeing the true appearance of those scenes in past memories are what a person should really want to do.

At Ichiraku Ramen, Kevin ordered a big bowl.

Just when we were almost done eating, three little ghosts walked in.

"I asked you to take it but you didn't want it, so I can only treat you to ramen."

"Have you trained all day today? Have you eaten lunch this afternoon?"

"I...I ate the rice balls I brought this morning."

"With this amount of training, you'll pass out just eating rice balls! Really... Starting today, the two of us will take turns watching you eat."

"This is not to help you. If you faint during the mission later, I won't have the strength to carry you."

Hearing this, Might Guy's eyes were filled with tears.

As soon as he approached, he burst into tears.

"I am so touched! You...you really touched me so much!"

Might Guy wiped his tears and took out a few free tickets in his hand: "Like Kakashi, you are all helping me."
