I sell sweets in Konoha

Everyone who heads towards the depths of the sea is seeking death.

When you enter the ocean, you enter the desert of water. No one knows what the weather will be like tomorrow, and no one knows whether the boat can survive the next big wave.

No one knew whether the ships would be able to find another land before the supplies they carried were exhausted.

No one knows which will come first, death or tomorrow.

so...

So even though Junko has introduced various incentive policies, there are not many people who really plan to sail and are willing to sail.Because humans are creatures with a strong desire for knowledge, but at the same time, humans are also very stubborn creatures.

Most people don't want to live in a day where they don't know whether death will come first or who will come first tomorrow.

They prefer to live an ordinary family life.

Moreover, although the Ninja World Continent is a bit chaotic, it has been doing well in recent years, and it is not impossible to survive without having to go to sea.The cost of sailing overseas is too high for ordinary people to afford.

But for emerging capital and old-school aristocrats who can afford it.

The market in the ninja world has not been saturated enough for them to open up overseas markets, but they are already making a lot of money in the ninja continent.There is absolutely no need to take high risks to gamble or go to sea.

Those old-school nobles are more interested in enjoying themselves, and have long lost any sense of pioneering and enterprising spirit.There is no desire for knowledge or exploration of the unknown.

All they have is a desire to maintain their ecstatic life of singing and dancing every day, and festivities and candles in the bridal chamber every night.

Count on these people to explore for you.

Really...

Not very realistic.

Well, at least for capital this time is not realistic.Unless the ninja world has become extremely involved, they will not easily challenge high-risk sea voyages.

But sometimes there is a saying that is true.

If the mountain does not come, I will go.

If you don't want to go to sea by yourself, others won't necessarily.

Those overseas civilizations are very likely to come over.

Because the world is always developing.

A ship appeared on the coastline of the ninja world. No one knew which country it belonged to or where it came from.No traditional route was taken.

He is always elusive, appearing here and there.

This made the ship once known as a ghost ship in the public's mouth.

I have to say that the strange shape is indeed a bit scary.

But has this ship brought any kind of shock to the ninja world?

not at all!

It didn't even make a little wave, the Raikage didn't take this matter seriously at all, and maybe even the reports about the ship had been thrown into the trash can and burned.

He was now very angry at being tormented by the Fire Nation Legion on the border and the unruly negotiating team of the Leaf Village.

What made him even more furious and worried was what his own domestic grain merchants had done.

Junko plans to use the Fire Country's superior position in food production and transportation to cause trouble in the Thunder Country and the Earth Country. This matter is not a secret at all.

Although Raikage didn't know much about this business, he was somewhat aware of the importance of food security.

He was already prepared to join forces with the Daimyo to deal with the upcoming malicious price increase by the Fire Country grain merchants.

result...

As a result, the grain merchants in the Land of Fire only increased their prices by 20% and then nothing happened. On the contrary, the domestic grain merchants increased their prices to such an extent that it was a joy.

The only ones who can provide relatively low-priced food are the grain merchants from the Country of Fire.

And this has been taken care of by the Kingdom of Thunder's own grain merchants.

More than [-]% of the grain is bought by these grain merchants, leaving less than [-]% of the grain to enter the market and be bought by the people.And this is simply not enough to eat.

How can the domestic grain dealers sell all the grains at low prices out of charity?

The crazy rise in food prices was originally caused by these guys, so how could they take the initiative to lower the prices themselves?

However, the increasingly high food prices have made Lei Ying feel an obvious but powerless sense of crisis.

Because if this was done by the grain merchants of the Country of Fire, he would be able to deal with it better, but which one of the forces behind the grain merchants in his country is not a noble?

Even the daimyo himself is enjoying himself a lot in this rising food supply.

By buying the food supplied by the Fire Country grain merchants at low prices and then selling it at high prices, none of them can be said to have made money. They are just digging for money in the golden mountains with a shovel!

No matter how high the price is, they can sell the grain.

As a result, the nobles of the Kingdom of Thunder and the grain merchants under their own influence have vigorously promoted the rapid increase in the grain of the Kingdom of Thunder.

The 20% price increase requested by the Hokage from the Land of Fire turned into a joke among them.

Raikage couldn't touch these people. The only thing he could be thankful for was that the price of food in Kumo Ninja Village remained within the ideal range.The only thing he can do now is to restrict the food trade of Yun Ninja Village, only entering but not leaving.

Raikage cannot see the future, and it is difficult to find similar examples of this kind of thing in history for him to refer to.

The only thing he can feel is that these nobles in the Kingdom of Thunder may not have the last laugh.

"Lord Raikage."

At this moment, Raikage's secretary opened the door again and came in.

"What?" Lei Ying rubbed his forehead and said, "Did the delegation from the Country of Fire put forward any rude conditions again?"

"Didn't I say it? Since they want to talk, let's talk with them!"

"Anyway, just don't agree to anything."

Raikage realized that this mission from the Country of Fire was not here to broker any contract at all.So since you don't have this intention, he will just find someone to take his time.

"It's not a matter of negotiation." The secretary said: "Ship! A big ship!"

"As I told you before, our country's fishermen discovered a ship."

"Ghost ship?" Lei Ying snorted and said, "I know this. I told you not to bother me with this kind of thing."

He has no interest in taking care of the ship on the sea.

Things in the Kingdom of Thunder are not over now.

"Although I don't want to disturb you." The secretary said seriously: "But this ship has appeared again."

"The latest recorded appearance is in the Fire Nation, and more importantly."

"They attacked a coastal town in the Fire Nation."

"What?" Lei Ying jumped up from his chair and said, "Is this true?"

"I don't know much about reading."

"Don't lie to me!"

The Fire Nation was attacked by overseas warships?

This is great fun!

Chapter 368 Ships at Sea

"The Country of Fire doesn't have a navy..."

Junko put her hands on her forehead.

This...

What is this?

There is no navy in the entire ninja world except for the country of snow, and the navy was abolished after being defeated by Junko a long time ago.

The new name of the Land of Snow is Fenghua Koyuki.

That innocent woman thought she could enjoy the shade by leaning against the big tree of the Fire Country.

So I abandoned my martial arts skills and used my financial resources to buy the heating device left by my father.

She used her martial arts skills to kill the first giant beast that cost the most money.

navy!

What could once be said to be the only navy in the entire ninja world is now gone.

Although Junko has been tossing the issue of going overseas, it has not brought any results. Don't expect them to go overseas before the capital is full.

Moreover, the greatest threat to the ninja world has long come from within rather than at sea.

It can be said that there is basically no pressure on coastal defense.

So face the situation.

Coastal defense and the navy are also very slow to develop. Moreover, the navy is a high-tech and high-investment military.On the surface it looks like it’s just a lot of money spent.

But behind it is the training of naval military personnel, the manufacturing and maintenance of ships.

Year-round exploration of different sea areas and so on.

These things are all packaged together, and the saying "a hundred years" is really no joke.

Just a nautical chart requires money, and spending money may not necessarily be able to get it immediately.

Then...

In addition, Junko herself also relaxed her focus on the construction of the navy and focused mainly on the infrastructure construction of the Kingdom of Fire. After that, the naval construction of the Kingdom of Fire has seriously lagged behind.

So much so that today's situation emerged.

The Kingdom of Fire was attacked by a force from the sea!

For a moment, the already tense atmosphere in the ninja world suddenly entered a state of breathless concentration. It seemed that all countries were watching the Fire Nation's next move.

"How could this happen?" Junko said quite speechlessly: "Such a thing could happen."

"No...I should have thought of this earlier."

"You should make arrangements early."

Junko felt that she should reflect on this matter. She was too idealistic about some things.If the other party is really the ship from the movie version.

Then there will inevitably be a battle.

Because the other party seemed to be looking for a special energy crystal when he came here for the first time.

And he is a person with bad intentions.

I completely forgot about this incident.

"Okay!" Junko said, "Find Naruto for me!"

"And Sakura, Shikamaru."

"Ok!"

"Find them all!"

Konoha's counterattack finally came, and Konoha threw out its counterattack plan under the spotlight.That is to send a three-person combat team composed of Naruto, Sakura and Shikamaru to fight a ship.

This will make all the spectators in the ninja world.

None of it was shocking.

There seems to be a sense of expected and unexpected.

"Why do we have to deal with that ghost ship?"

Naruto still couldn't understand this problem after leaving the village.

Not to mention it was a question, but I couldn’t figure it out.

"Probably because Hokage-sama is currently mainly focusing on the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder." Shikamaru said analytically: "There is no plan to use the army."

"Furthermore, the Fire Nation does not have a navy, so we are at a disadvantage in this kind of maritime warfare."

Without a navy, it would be a bit troublesome to deal with such ships coming from the sea.

The opponent can hit and leave, coming and going as erratically as the wind.
