Escape From Konoha
Vol 8 Chapter 45: debt collection
The Land of Winds, Sand Hidden Village.
The vast yellow sand is laid on the earth, stretching as far as the eye can see.
In this endless sea of sand and dust, Sand Yin Ninja Village is built in such a harsh environment.
Except for the color of the sand, there are basically no other bright colors near the hidden sand village.
The village is surrounded by steep sandstone, and the low-to-medium-to-high terrain environment has brought enough security to Shayin Village, and is also conducive to the dredging of underground water veins.
Taking advantage of this natural geographical advantage, the outer layer of the village is tightly surrounded, and the sand hermit ninjas standing guard there can condescend and have a panoramic view of the environment below.
There is only a narrow passage at the main entrance, which runs through the village and is called "a line of sky".
Unless it is an invasion from the air, it is difficult for outsiders to raid from the front without permission.
The sinister environment of the sky will make the invaders daunting.
Based on such a favorable environment, Sand Hidden Village has survived comfortably in the desert for decades.
Among the yellow sand in the sky, the spherical sandstone buildings are the landmarks of Shayin Village. From the residential houses to the Fengying Building, they basically adopt this kind of architectural structure with a relatively smooth appearance, which is conducive to preventing sand and dust in the desert. environment.
At this moment, in the conference room of the Kazekage Building, the high-level officials of Sayin, headed by the fourth Kazekage Rasa, are holding a large-scale meeting once a month.
Twelve chairs surround the huge stone round table in the center. In addition, there are cactus potted plants in the meeting room, and the environment is quiet and empty.
This is also related to the geographical environment of the Land of Winds.
Most of the environment in the country is a desert where there is no way to use resources, and there is a lack of plants. For Sand Hidden Village, wooden furniture is very expensive.
The land suitable for planting herbs in the village is also very scarce. Although Shayin Village has first-class medical technology, it is difficult to expand its scale. This is the root cause.
But for this, Luo Sha, who is a contemporary Fengying, can only choose to give in. The environment of Sha Yin Village is so harsh.
And in many cases, most of the funds that Sand Hidden Village received from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind were used for military development.
For example, research on Tailed Beast technology, expand the scale of ninjas, and develop sophisticated ninja tools to ensure that the combat power will not be insufficient during the war.
The twelve seats were full of people. Except for Kazekage Rasa, the other eleven people were elders of Sand Hidden Village, or Jonin who was very influential in the village and held important management positions.
"... As for the above, regarding the planning and training of the younger generation of ninjas in the next few years, continue to implement the previous policy. In the next few years, I also hope that everyone can cooperate more."
Luo Sha made a brief summary of the ninja training plan of Sha Yin Village, and hoped to work together with the elders of Sha Yin.
"Master Kazekage, you are being polite. In the past few years, excellent juniors have emerged in our village, and Master Kazekage's leading role is indisputable."
An elder said with a smile.
The rest of the elders also nodded frequently. Regardless of their strength, Fengying Luosha's gold dust technique solved many problems in Yinsha Village.
Their village's current considerable military expenditures are all earned by Luo Sha using his own ability to mine placer gold, not just from the Daimyo of the Wind Country.
In view of this, Sand Hidden Village has already recovered from the weakening period after the third Ninja World War in recent years, and is even stronger than the third Ninja World War.
"Without the concerted efforts of all the elders, I would not have been able to reach this point. In short, let's encourage and move forward together."
Rosa responded with a smile.
The Land of Winds is originally the country with the most scarce resources among the five major countries, and most of the country's land area is desert that cannot be planted.
Food and water are big problems, and they rely heavily on imports.
Food mainly comes from the surrounding small countries such as the Bear Country, You Country, and Bird Country, and the water source mainly comes from the Rain Country, which has perennial rainfall.
Just in case, there is also a storage space inside Shayin Village, where a large amount of food and water are stored for emergencies.
"The planning of the village, let's end here. Regarding the content of the next meeting, it is about the country of ghosts, and we need to discuss and resolve it with everyone."
When Luo Sha said this, her face was a little embarrassed.
"The kingdom of ghosts? Are they coming again? It's really troublesome."
Hearing Luo Sha mention the name of this country, Elder Sha Yin present all mentioned God.
Since the third Ninja World War, the Oni Country has achieved a grand economic boom that has attracted the attention of the five major countries.
Countless big businessmen gathered in Ziyuan City to do business, making it the most prosperous commercial metropolis in the ninja world. According to the statistics of professionals, the tax revenue of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the past three years is close to that of the Kingdom of Fire, the leader of the five major countries. His strength ranks among the best in the ninja world.
The well-developed pharmaceutical industry, entertainment industry, shipbuilding industry, machinery industrialization production capacity, etc. are all the capital that many businessmen are rushing for.
As a result, the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce has developed into the number one chamber of commerce in the ninja world. In terms of status in the business world, it has surpassed the Union of Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Fire, and has become a truly wealthy country.
It stands to reason that this country and the hidden sand village will not have much connection.
The crux of the problem is that during the Third Ninja World War, due to the shortage of combat funds in Hidden Sand Village at that time, the diplomats of the Land of Winds at that time negotiated with the managers of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce in the Land of Ghosts to provide guarantees for Hidden Sand Village , I hope that the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce will open a huge loan to Shayin Village.
At that time, the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association's loan business had just started. Facing a big customer like Hidden Sand Village, and with official personnel from the Land of Winds as a guarantee, they readily approved Hidden Sand Village a large amount of military expenses for war.
Shayin Village also promised to repay the loan within the specified time.
Calculating the time, in fact, more than two years ago, it was the date when Shayin Village should pay off the loan. However, due to diplomatic interference, I asked the Ziyuan Florist Association to continue to give some time.
It is brought up at this time, which proves that the grace date more than two years ago has also arrived.
The Sha Yin elders sitting in the meeting room, like Luo Sha, were somewhat embarrassed.
The reason is very simple. The loan amount is huge. In order to develop the military power in the past few years, Yinsha Village has already spent a lot of the funds approved by the above.
Luo Sha also saw the embarrassment of the elders, so he coughed and said: "Just this morning, the diplomats from the Kingdom of Ghosts have arrived here, and I hope that Sha Yin will repay the loan as soon as possible, so as not to cause dishonesty. No second borrowing possible."
"The country of ghosts doesn't lack development funds, can't they wait for a while longer?"
The Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce is not a private chamber of commerce in the country of ghosts, but is owned by the government of the country of ghosts. It is a government official of the country of ghosts, who controls the real power behind it. It is said that it is also inextricably linked with the military of the country of ghosts. It can basically represent the official financial department of the ghost country.
The reason why it is still named after the Chamber of Commerce is because the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce was originally a private chamber of commerce, and later merged into the government system of the ghost country.
"You can't say that. Originally, we should have repaid the loan more than two years ago. The Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association continued to extend the grace period for more than two years for the sake of our Shayin Village. It is the best of humanity. I think it should be possible. Properly reduce the military expenditure, make up the full share of the arrears, and return it to the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, so as not to lose trust."
An elder shook his head.
"However, in that case, how can we develop the village? The military expenses given to us by the daimyo are fixed every year. It's not that we don't want to pay it back, but that we really don't have the ability to pay it back."
"Squeeze and squeeze, is there still something?"
"The village needs money to develop."
Another elder blocked the conversation directly, and most of the elders quite agreed with this point of view.
Although this incident was caused by Shayin Village, the loan amount from Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce at that time was too large. If it is made up at this time, it may affect the development plan of Shayin Village in the next few years, which is equivalent to making Shayin Village lose money in the future. Years of nothing.
Such a thing must never happen.
The peaceful era is one of the few important transitional periods in which they can accelerate the development of military power. At this time, they must have a racing spirit and make full preparations for the next ninja war.
If the loan is repaid, Sand Hidden Village will lose to other Ninja Villages in the race, which is impossible no matter how you think about it.
"Master Kazekage, what are your thoughts?"
After the debate on this matter, in fact, it only revolved around the topic of repayment or not, but in the end, Fengying himself made the decision.
After looking around the meeting room, Luo Sha said to the elders of Shayin: "Actually, I think that this kind of matter cannot be decided by our Shayin Village alone. As we all know, our Shayin Village belongs to the military of the Kingdom of Wind. Institutions, even if they borrow money from other countries, it is reasonable to ask for it from the Daming House. After all, when the loan was originally borrowed, it was guaranteed by officials close to the daimyo."
"Master Kazekage means..."
The elders Sha Yin present here are not fools, and they immediately understood Sha Yin's intentions.
"Kazekage-sama is right. Since the daimyo sent an official as a guarantee at the time, the repayment of the loan should be left to the daimyo. We Sain has no right to interfere with this kind of thing."
"That's right, the daimyo is the top manager of the Land of Winds. It's really against the rules for people from the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce to come to our side to ask for the money they owe."
The direction of the wind changed immediately, and everyone knew that this was a good way.
Anyway, Hidden Sand Village can't be allowed to spend this money, otherwise, the development of Hidden Sand Village will stop in the next few years, and the gap with Konoha and other powerful ninja villages will become wider and wider.
"Since the elders have agreed, then I will respond to the diplomats of the Kingdom of Ghosts in this way."
Luo Sha breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, before this, he had negotiated with the daimyo of the land of wind, and his decision was actually approved by the daimyo of the land of wind.
As long as the two parties continue to shirk their responsibility for repayment and extend the repayment date indefinitely, it will be fine.
With the military strength of the Kingdom of Wind, the Ghost Kingdom, as a small country, would not dare to make military threats.
As for the economic threat, let the Sand Yin ninja troops walk around the ghost country, and the matter can be resolved satisfactorily.
From Luo Sha's point of view, this incident was finally over.
He didn't believe that the Kingdom of Ghosts had always dared to hold on to this matter, and dared to provoke Fengying and the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind at the same time.
If it weren't for its status as a neutral country, Luo Sha might still use the abilities of witches in the future, so Luo Sha would not pay attention to the country of ghosts at all.
Without a strong military force as a foundation, a business empire piled up is nothing but a castle in the air, which will be broken at the touch of a touch.
It's not that I'm afraid of the status of a neutral country. In history, there are many examples of neutral countries getting involved in wars. The kingdom of ghosts is just a little special in the neutral country.
For the Kingdom of Winds, the use of military to oppress a neutral country is not about being able to do so, but whether or not one wants to think about it.
After all, the kingdom of ghosts is still looking at the ninja world with the thinking of a traditional weak country.
In this ninja world, the strong are always respected.
The power of the ninja is the only eternal theme in this ninja world.
◎
In the office, while making hot tea, Shiraishi casually looked at the report submitted by the diplomat, finally showing a smile on his face.
"As I expected, Hidden Sand Village really plans to do this."
In fact, he doesn't need to interpret it in detail, he can also know all the contents of this report.
He had already anticipated this situation when Shayin Village postponed the repayment date more than two years ago.
Given the ugly appearance of Sha Yin Village in the Land of Rain in the past, Shiraishi was not surprised to do such a thing.
"What are we going to do next, Lord Shiraishi?"
The man standing in front of Shiraishi asked.
His face was ordinary, his fingernails were cracked, and his skin was rough. He looked like a farmer who often worked in the fields.
His actual identity is that of a member of the spy department of the Oni Nation's military, serving as the captain.
Codenamed Ugly Bull, he is Baishi's trusted subordinate.
"The prerequisites for bordering the Kingdom of Wind have almost been completed. Next, we just need to guide the situation in a direction that is beneficial to the Kingdom of Ghosts."
"That is to say..."
The ugly cow narrowed his eyes.
"Well, just like you think, the Xiong Kingdom can close the net. I will leave the order to you, ugly cow."
"Yes, I understand."
Ugly Bull nodded, and it was his task to assist the ninjas of the Ghost Country in the Bear Country to complete the plan to capture the Bear Country.
Over the years, the Kingdom of Ghosts has secretly operated in the Kingdom of Bears for a long time, and even many officials of the Kingdom of Bears have replaced their people, not to mention the underlying organizations, which have a larger base.
The reason why I choose to do it now is to prevent any flaws in the plan, which will hinder the entire plan.
However, looking at it now, there is no need to act so low-key.
"Then, Master Shiraishi, I will take my leave first."
"Go."
Baishi nodded and watched Chou Niu leave.
After Chou Niu left, Shiraishi took out a new document and began to scan it.
Not long after, the door rang again, and a man walked in from the outside.
Wearing a black overcoat embroidered with an aster flower emblem and carrying a heavy black leather suitcase in his hand, he gives off a taciturn and mysterious image.
On his chest, there is also a golden circular nameplate made of pure gold, with the same pattern of asters on it.
And this kind of nameplate represents the identity proof of the debt collector of Shi Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association, and it is also the highest level of gold medal debt collector.
"Mr. Kakuto, it's been a long time, and nothing has changed."
Baishi put down the documents in his hand, and smiled at the gold medal debt collector.
"We have each other in this respect."
He stared at Shiraishi's face from all corners of his eyes.
In the past few years, Baishi's appearance has basically remained unchanged in his opinion.
He was clearly a man in his thirties, but he still looked like a young man in his twenties.
The same is true for the two women beside him, maintaining a beautiful youth of eighteen or nineteen years old.
Considering that the other party is a medical ninja, it is not surprising that Kakuzu was a student of Tsunade, one of the three ninjas in Konoha in the past.
There are many kinds of ninjutsu in the ninja world, and the types are not the same. Ninjutsu that maintains youth and prolongs life also exists in the ninja world.
I myself is a prime example.
As long as you can replenish enough hearts, you can live forever, and you can see all the vicissitudes of history in this world for a long time.
"Actually, Mr. Kakuzu, who is a gold medal debt collector, is here this time, and there is one thing I want to ask."
Baishi straightened his face and talked about business.
"I don't think it's an easy thing to ask you personally."
When Shiraishi came to him suddenly, Kakuto knew that the other party came to ask him to do something, and it was definitely not an easy task.
"This is a bill from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Please take a look, Mr. Kakutsu."
Shiraishi picked up a form.
Jiaodu stepped forward to take it, and quickly glanced at it.
"So that's the case. Shayin Village has exceeded the deadline and failed to repay the loan on time. Does it need to be called for debt collection? However, this level of matter should not be a job that I, a debt collector, can touch."
Koto said bluntly.
Even if he has become the only gold-medal debt collector in the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce with his extraordinary ability in the past few years, he is not qualified to intervene in such matters.
This kind of matter cannot be managed by a debt collector. It involves a national level and requires formal negotiations between diplomats and the Kingdom of Wind.
"But now the shadow of the wind in the hidden sand village and the daimyo of the land of the wind are shirking each other's responsibilities, and no one is willing to give an accurate answer. This makes our diplomats very headache. It is conceivable that they are not sincere at all. Pay back the money owed."
"So, what do you mean..."
His eyes were narrowed, and his voice was a little low.
He has long known that the Kingdom of Ghosts will not be content with the status quo.
On the surface, business is prosperous, but what is more terrifying than business is the military organization that hides in the depths and never shows itself.
People's understanding of the kingdom of ghosts is only limited to the tip of the iceberg.
When the entire iceberg under the water fully emerges, it will definitely shock the entire ninja world.
"Since they play football with each other, we can only use our own means to collect the debt. After all, isn't it a matter of course to pay back the debt?"
At this time, Baishi put his hands on the table, propped his chin up casually, and asked with a smile from opposite corners.
"Hehe... That's right, it is indeed a matter of course to pay off debts. It's just that I didn't expect that you were planning the Kingdom of Wind so early. The military's ambitions are really big enough."
Kakuzu also smiled, rather than saying that he had bad intentions, it might be better to say that he saw something that made him feel very interesting.
He didn't know about the military's plans, because he wasn't interested in anything other than debt collection.
He was able to make these guesses, and he could only come up with an answer that best suits the interests of the ghost kingdom based on enough information.
It's just that he didn't expect that the first target of the Ghost Country would be a country at the level of the Five Great Nations.
"Then, I'll leave it to Mr. Kadotsu for the debt collection work of the Kingdom of the Winds."
"I get it. Collecting debt from a country, it's an unprecedented challenge, and I'll get it done."
Kakudo sighed and accepted Shiraishi's request.
Maybe he will see some very interesting things in the future. The era when the five major powers dominated the ninja world is likely to be gone forever.
But what does this have to do with him?
He's just a debt collector.
Debt collection was his job.
Regardless of whether the debtor is an individual, an organization, or a country, all debt collectors are treated equally.
No one can match a debt collector's obsession with money.

sunny morning.
The daimyo of the country of the wind got up and dressed normally under the service of the maid. Suddenly, the maid let out a low cry, as if she saw something incredible.
"What's wrong?"
The daimyo of the Land of Wind had wrinkled skin and flesh on his bloated and slightly aged face, feeling very dissatisfied with the maid's fussy behavior.
"My lord, this..."
The maid picked up a piece of clean white paper from the side of the bed. The back of the white paper was red, and there were obvious red characters on the back.
"What is this? Did you put it?"
The daimyo of the Wind Country narrowed his eyes, he didn't remember that he had such a piece of paper beside his bed last night.
"No, I just found out."
"Look what's written on it."
"yes."
The maid nodded tremblingly, and unfolded the words on the white paper, on which the words 'repay the money' were roughly written with bright red paint.
Pay back?
The daimyo of the country of wind frowned. These two words made him think of a very unpleasant thing.
Moreover, who put this piece of paper in?
With such doubts in mind, he took the piece of paper from the maid, crumpled it into a ball, threw it on the ground, and walked out of the room quickly.
Going outside, the daimyo of the country of the wind suddenly saw two ninja guards waiting at the door, who had passed out on the ground at some point.
In the courtyard, the colors of red and white complement each other.
Red fonts are smeared on the white paper~www.readwn.com~Whether it is on the walls, on the pillars, on the edge of the pond, or even on the floor, there are such white papers.
And on the white paper, without exception, the word "repay the money" was written.
The daimyo's face full of flesh and blood immediately trembled angrily, and the words "repay the money" on the white paper made his eyes feel extremely stinging.
Who exactly?
Who on earth would dare to be so bold, to act recklessly in the Daming Mansion, and not want to die?
And thinking of the ninja guard at the door fainted on the ground, and the rest of the ninjas protecting him in the dark, who didn't respond to the things in the courtyard, the daimyo of the country of wind suddenly thought of something, and then showed a look of fear on his face.
Being able to knock out the ninja guards around him without a sound, if the person who does this kind of thing wants to kill him, wouldn't it be...
The daimyo of the country of wind trembled, and panic rose from the bottom of his heart.
