Escape From Konoha Chapter 336

  Chapter 336 Guess

   "Dazna, you said that someone wants to entrust us. Is this true?"

  In the evening, someone came to visit Dazner's house.

   There were three people in total, the leader was a man who was about the same age as Dazna, his hair had turned white, but he was in good spirits and his body was also very strong.

   After Tsunami opened the door, this was the first sentence he said when he came in, wanting to verify whether the information he got was correct.

   "Kiki, you are here."

  Dazna saw the leading man, shook the wine bottle in his hand, and responded to his greeting.

   Keech is his old friend. They were very good friends before he became an expert bridge builder.

  Every time I accept a job commission, I will bring him with me. The other party is also the number one excellent worker in the wave of the country, with a good reputation.

  Kiki and the two men behind him nodded.

  Dazner randomly vacated an empty room at home, and let the three of Keech come in, but because the room was very small, four adult men were squeezed in, which seemed relatively crowded, but no one cared about these problems.

   "Dazna, is it true about the entrustment?"

  As soon as Kic sat down, he couldn't wait to look at Dazner, hoping that Dazner would give him an affirmative answer.

  After all, these workers have not started work for a year, and the economy of Bozhi Kingdom has not been very good in recent years. Even if they got the commission, they were actually not paid much.

   But for these workers, it is thankful that the salary offered can solve the problem of food and clothing at home.

  So, if Dazna really receives a job commission, no matter how low the salary is, as long as it can solve the problem of food and clothing for the family, then there is no room for rejection.

   "Don't worry, Keech, don't you still believe me? We are old friends, and I won't joke with you in this kind of place."

  Dazner said with a smile.

  He was also very happy when he received the commission.

   "That's true."

  Kic believed in Dazner's character, and knew that the other party was one-sided, extremely stubborn and upright, and would not joke with them about this kind of thing.

   "So, what work was commissioned?"

  Kitch briefly asked about the situation.

  Dazner replied readily: "The work entrusted to us is to build a factory in an open space in the country of Waves, which seems to be for the production of equipment. But I don't know exactly what equipment is produced and what these equipment are used for."

  Kiki nodded, as long as there are blueprints, building a factory is not a problem. As for what those factories are used for, he is not interested in exploring. If the client gives money, as long as it is not involved in illegal and criminal matters, they will do whatever they want, and there is no possibility of bargaining.

   "Then who is the entrusting party?"

   "She is a young lady from a merchant family in the kingdom of ghosts."

  Although Dazna thinks that Kazuki's identity is probably not from an ordinary merchant family.

   "The country of ghosts? Why do people from such a distant country..."

  Kiki's eyes widened, a little stunned.

   "I don't know about this, maybe it's because of the business prospects of this country."

  Dazner said casually.

  Kiki was even more speechless.

   Prospect?

  This country is so poor that it is almost impossible to get rid of it. How can there be any business prospects?

  Moreover, there are many pirate forces outside the country, often robbing houses and houses, making the people of the country of Bo miserable.

  It turns out that a businessman from the Kingdom of Ghosts still wants to open a factory in the Kingdom of Waves, which is very strange no matter how you look at it.

  Is the other party not afraid of losing money?

   Or, are there any rare minerals on the islands of the Kingdom of Waves?

   But how is this possible?

  If there was such a thing, it would have been excavated by the daimyo and nobles long ago to enrich the treasury and use it to develop the national economy.

   "Okay, Kiki, these are not things we should consider. If the other party pays, we can do our best. No matter what the other party's purpose is, it has nothing to do with us small people."

   Dazner said optimistically.

   Although Dazner meant to be self-deprecating, Keech rarely refuted.

  Indeed, even if the client has some special purpose, what does it have to do with poor and white people at the bottom?

   Others pay, they sell coolies, a very reasonable way to make money.

   "The other party said about the contract, and it will be delivered the day after tomorrow. We must recruit all the workers we can recruit tomorrow."

   Dazner said again.

   "How many people are needed?"

   "The other party needs a thousand people."

   "A thousand people!?"

  Kiki's eyeballs were about to protrude in surprise.

  The two workers behind them were also not much better.

  One thousand workers, this is not a small number.

  They have not received such a huge project for many years. It seems that the factory commissioned by the other party is not an ordinary small factory, but a super large factory.

   "Are you sure the other party wants this number?"

   Kiki asked in surprise.

"Sure."

   "Then it seems that we need to prepare a lot."

  Kiki's face became rare and serious.

   Not long after, the two workers left first, and Keech remained in the room, talking to Dazner.

  Kiki approached Dazner mysteriously, looked around vigilantly, and then said softly: "Speaking of which, Dazner, have you heard?"

  Looking at Kiki's cautious and serious expression, Dazner became puzzled and asked, "Know what?"

   "It's the pirates who have appeared in the waters of the Kingdom of Waves in recent years."

   "What happened to those pirates?"

   Speaking of those pirates, Dazna was also a little nervous and angry. His son-in-law died at the hands of those ruthless pirates.

   "I heard that those pirates were recruited by the big names."

   Keech stares Dazner in the eye.

"What?"

  Dazner stood up straight in shock, and looked at Keech in disbelief.

   "Keep your voice down, Dazner."

"oh oh."

  Dazner came back to his senses at this time, his reaction was too intense.

  Although it is unlikely that anyone will listen to his wall at this time, it is better to be careful.

   "Why do you think so?"

  Dazner frowned.

   "It's not what I think, I also heard what people said."

   Kiki sighed.

   "Who did you listen to?"

   "When I went to the town to buy vegetables yesterday, I heard people on the street say it. Do you think it's true?"

   Keech wants to ask Dazner for his opinion.

  There are different opinions about the origins of the pirate forces in the waters of the Land of Waves. The most recognized one is that they are the victims of the Ninja World War. Due to the war, they had to leave their homes and go to other countries to survive. However, due to the inability to integrate into the local environment, it has become a pirate force.

  But if this group of pirates were forces raised by the daimyo of the land of waves, then the nature of the matter would be different.

   "Don't talk nonsense, hasn't the daimyo organized several raids against pirates before?"

  Dazner retorted.

   "Then do you have any doubts, why the militias were organized several times, but the crusade against the pirates failed?"

  Kiki also didn't want to believe it, but thinking about the past experience of crusade against pirates also made him suspicious.

   "But the daimyo also spent money to avoid disasters?"

  Dazner still didn't want to believe it.

   "It's just left handed and right handed."

   "This... Who did you listen to?"

   "That's what everyone on the street says."

  Dazner was a little dumbfounded. Although it was fallacious, it seemed to make some sense.

   It's just that he hasn't thought about these questions before.

   "Things need to pay attention to evidence, don't talk about this kind of thing everywhere."

  Dazner gave Keech a word of advice.

  Kiki nodded again and again.

   "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense. Then, it's getting late, I'll go first."

  Kiki stood up and left the room.

  Dazner was in the room with a pensive look on his face, then shook his head.

   "How is it possible, Kiki must have been deceived..."

  How could that daimyo, who was only thinking about the people of the country of Bo, be the chief culprit of the economic depression and rampant pirate forces in the country of Bo?

   Two days later, it was the day to sign the contract.

  Dazner was barely calm, but Kiki, who came with him, swallowed hard, looking at the huge steel cruise ship standing at the port.

   Such a cruise ship is out of his understanding of the ship.

  Looking at Kiki who was extremely nervous, Dazner wondered if it was a wrong decision to bring him here.

   But two people are better than one person, and he felt incredible when he saw such a huge monster.

  I have a deeper concept of the power of the kingdom of ghosts.

   No wonder the opponent was able to obtain such a large piece of land on the territory of the Kingdom of Waves for construction.

  Dazna felt more and more that Kazuhime, who entrusted him, was not from an ordinary merchant family.

  Following the guards onto the cruise ship through the gangway, they arrived at a meeting room, where Yiji had been waiting for a long time.

   After the guards brought Dazner and Kiki into the conference room, they left the conference room.

   In addition, there is also a maiden in the meeting room, who acts as a maid and serves tea to the guests.

   "Sorry, Mr. Dazner, originally I wanted to visit in person today and then sign the contract, but I have too many things to do here, so I can't get away, please forgive me."

  After Dazna and Kiki sat down, Ichihime still apologized and rubbed her temples. There were not obvious dark circles around her eyes.

   "It's okay. Miss Ichihime is busy, I can understand."

  Dazner waved his hand and sat stiffly.

   "So, who is this gentleman?"

  Ichihime looked at Kiki next to Dazna.

   "He's Keech, my old friend, and my deputy."

  Dazner introduced.

   "Hi, I'm Keech."

  Kiki stood up, and hurriedly bowed to Kazuhime awkwardly.

   "Don't be too polite, Mr. Keech, just treat this place as your own home."

   Ichihime said with a smile.

  Afterwards, Ichihime turned his gaze to the shrine maiden aside.

  The miko understood, took out a printed cardboard contract from the side, and put it in front of Dazna.

  Dazner quickly opened the contract and read the above content.

  Kiki also leaned his head to look.

  Although there are some words that I don't know, Kiki can still understand the general meaning.

  Ichihime sat there, sipping tea while quietly waiting for Dazna to read the contract.

   It took about half an hour before Dazner finished reading the entire contract.

   "How is it, Mr. Dazner? Is there anything that needs to be changed in the contract? If you are not satisfied with something, you can still discuss it."

   "No, I'm very satisfied, it's better to say that we have taken advantage of it."

  Dazner said hastily.

  The content of the contract is simple enough, just let them, the workers, do their best.

  Whether it is material procurement or three meals a day during work, they will be provided, which greatly saves a lot of money in the pockets of workers.

   After all, not all clients will be responsible for providing meals.

  It's okay to meet wealthy clients, but if they encounter stingy clients, they will only squeeze the workers with the cheapest salary.

  It is still very rare for a client as generous as Yi Ji.

  Dazner has worked for so many years, and he has only met such a client a few times.

   "Because this factory is very important to the kingdom of ghosts, I don't want to waste time on unnecessary places."

  Compared to the funds required for the layout of the entire plan, whether it is this large factory, or the salaries paid to Dazner and others, it is only a drop in the bucket.

"Yeah?"

   "Then, Mr. Dazner agrees?"

   Ichihime asked.

   "Yes, Miss Ichihime, there is no problem on my side."

   "So, do you need to go back and discuss with the rest of the workers?"

   Ichihime asked properly.

   "No, there's no need. Before coming here, they already told me the bottom line. Miss Yiji offered such a generous reward. There is no reason for me not to agree."

  Dazner said so.

   "Since Mr. Dazner agrees, everything is easy to talk about. I will draw up the rest of the contract as soon as possible."

   "The rest of the contract?"

   “Yes, every worker will have an identical contract.”

"ah?"

   "How should I put it, my subordinates have recently received some bad news in the land of Waves, so they should be prepared for a rainy day."

   "Not so good news?"

  Dazna didn't know what Kazuki was talking about.

   Just when Kazuki was about to speak, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

  A ghost country ninja rushed in, and it seemed that the news he brought was different.

   "Miss, we have already found out the matter. The pirates who attacked us when they came to the land of waves are indeed related to the daimyo of the land of waves... er!"

   After finishing speaking, the ghost country ninja discovered that there were other people in the meeting room.

  Ichihime frowned, and glared fiercely at the ninja from the Oni Nation who broke into the conference room recklessly, as if a little annoyed that he said these words in front of others.

   "I'm sorry, I didn't say anything just now. Miss, I'm going down first, you are busy."

  The Ninja of the Oni Nation gave an embarrassed smile, exited the conference room in a panic, and closed the door of the conference room tightly.

   "Well, Miss Ichihime, just now..."

   Dazner spoke.

  Yiji took a deep breath and said distressedly: "It's not a secret. When I came, my fleet was attacked by pirates three times. Although I successfully repelled the group of pirates, it also caused me some losses."

   "No, it's that..."

   What Dazner cares about is not the pirate attack, but the sentence after the ninja of the ghost country, pirates are related to the daimyo of the wave country.

   "That's just my subordinates talking nonsense, which made you laugh. In short, the contract matter has been finalized first, and I still have important matters to deal with, so excuse me here."

   Ichiji bowed in apology, and quickly left the meeting room, leaving Dazna and Kiki looking at each other.

   After Yiji left, Dazner didn't stay long after signing the contract, and left the cruise ship with Kiki, heading back home.

  Walking on the road, Kiki hesitated to speak several times, and finally whispered in Dazner's ear:

   "Well, Dazna, you have heard the news that Miss Ichihime's subordinates accidentally revealed just now. If there is no problem with our ears..."

   "This kind of thing, maybe Miss Ichiji's subordinates made a mistake. You can't believe everything that is speculative."

   "However, Miss Ichihime is rich and powerful, so she will definitely get some information that we don't know about. Moreover, Miss Ichihime was attacked by pirates on the way to the country of waves. You only need to inquire about such things a little, and you can tell the truth from the fake."

   Keech said so.

  Dazna did not speak, his face was heavy, and he looked preoccupied.

  Kiki also calmed down honestly, but he didn't expect that the rumors on the street that were unfavorable to the daimyo might be true.

  If this is the case, it means that the daimyo of the Kingdom of Waves has deceived all of them and played with the people as clowns.

   "Miss, you didn't notice anything wrong just now, did you?"

   Jonin Oni no Kuni, who hurried into the meeting room just now, stood in front of Kazuhime and asked.

  Yiji glanced at him, and said to him: "Don't worry, the performance is natural, there is no need for improvement. In short, the seeds of doubt have already been buried, and we will wait for these seeds to take root and germinate."

   Deliberately revealing such news to Dazna was arranged by Kazuki in advance.

   It was she who sent someone to spread the rumors that were unfavorable to daimyo and nobles in the towns of the country of waves.

  The power of the Kingdom of Demons in the Kingdom of Waves is not deep-rooted. If you want to gain the support of the people here and liberate the trend of thought, then the first thing to do is to let the people of the Kingdom of Waves have a crisis of trust in the daimyo.

   This is the same as the situation in the Land of Rain during the Third Ninja World War.

  During the period of war, the daimyos of the Land of Rain abandoned the people and flattered foreign enemies, arousing public outrage. Now the political environment of the Land of Rain is very chaotic.

"That's good."

   "So, has the news been found out?"

  Ichiji turned her head sideways and asked.

  The ghost country ninja nodded and replied earnestly: "Yes, although there are still some things that have not been investigated, I have already obtained the basic information. You can start operations at any time and open a gap where you can attack."

  Ichihime rested her chin with her fingers, thought for a moment, and said, "No, I can't act for the time being."

   "Why? The evidence is already..."

   "I thought about it. The situation behind the Kingdom of Waves may be much more complicated than we imagined. At this time, we may be in a passive position. The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Waves is definitely not the mastermind, and there are even larger forces behind him to support him."

  Liuli thought of the ninja who attacked her two days ago, the purplish red chakra flowing in her eyes, that color of chakra made her very concerned, and she felt a sense of familiarity.

  Tail Beast!

  Although the color of the chakra is wrong, the fuchsia chakra gives her the feeling that it is a bit similar to a tailed beast.

  She has secretly sent the assailant to the Kingdom of Ghosts, and asked the people at the headquarters to investigate and use instruments to test the source of that chakra.

  It is similar to Tailed Beast Chakra, but it is a little different...Maybe it uses the power developed by Tailed Beast.

  If this is the case, there may be more people paying attention to the power of the Kingdom of Waves than I imagined, and the relationship behind the scenes is even more complicated.

  Using Tailed Beasts, apart from Oni no Kuno and Akatsuki, only the Five Great Nations have this ability.

  The country of Bo is the closest to the country of fire among the five major countries.

  Konoha has the ability to conduct research on the power of tailed beasts. Although Konoha's third Hokage is indecisive and may not make it public, there is no shortage of dangerous people in Konoha who are cruel, extreme in thinking, and conduct taboo research at will—

   Root leader, Shinobi Darkness, Shimura Danzo!

   "Miss, did you remember something?"

   Standing on the side, Kamino Ninja asked.

  Ichihime nodded, did not hide anything, but asked: "You should have heard that we stayed in Konoha's Anzi to find out the roots of Shimura Danzo, and in recent years have been conducting some kind of taboo research."

   "Yes, but the specific taboo research has not been investigated yet."

   Ninja in the kingdom of ghosts thought deeply.

   "That's right, combined with the previous attack, I suspect that the taboo research that Root is conducting now is related to the tailed beast."

   "Tail beast?"

  "Shimura Danzo of Shinobi, before coming here, the old man explained that Shimura Danzo is far more dangerous than the Third Hokage. The root has been rooted in Konoha for many years, and after the third Ninja World War, the authority of the Third Hokage has declined. The power of the root is rapidly expanding, and there is already a faint momentum to fight against Hokage. Such a ruthless veteran in the ninja world cannot be easily underestimated."

   Konoha Anbe is not worried, but if not only Anbe but also Genbu are planning to get involved, it might be a hard battle.

  Different from the weak Sandai Hokage, Shimura Danzo is a fighter with extremely extreme means, and he must be extra vigilant about the opponent's actions.

   "Continue to ask Kado to investigate who is behind the illegal business establishments in the Kingdom of Waves. It is no accident that they were tacitly allowed by the daimyo of the Kingdom of Waves to exist in the territory of the Kingdom of Waves. If this trend continues, within a few years, the Kingdom of Waves will gradually become a no-regulation zone without legal jurisdiction. This is not something that a small country daimyo can do."

  The forces behind the scenes in the Kingdom of Waves are astonishing.

  Although it is not comparable to a big country, it is definitely not something that ordinary forces can provoke.

   As the lord of a country, the daimyo of the country of waves may only be one of them, not the real master.

   "Yes. That root over there..."

  The ninja of the kingdom of ghosts hesitated.

"Um…"

  Yi Ji thought about it.

  As long as it is not a large force of Konoha ninjas, she is not afraid of how many people come from the root.

  Even if you lose the enemy, you can leave the encirclement with ease.

  But this time there are still too few people to follow. She herself is fine, but there is no way to take care of the rest.

   Soon, she gave an answer: "Let Kaduo's plan continue as usual. In terms of manpower, I will ask the old man to send additional reinforcements."

  Considering the means and influence at the root, Yi Ji thinks it is better to be on the safe side.

   (PS: There will be more original parts in the future. After all, the original plot line, there are many places that can't be connected now, but the characters and place names are still used in the original work, just to change the direction of the plot... But I didn't expect it to be almost 2 million words, and I didn't even write the beginning of the original plot...)
