Mizuki, who mustered up the courage to negotiate conditions with Gu Shan Bu Shui, seemed not to have expected such a reaction from the other party.

"Isn't it okay?"

"It's not impossible. I thought you bought precious medicinal materials to practice some forbidden technique, steal the "Sealed Book" and present it to Orochimaru as a surrender gift or something."

"Eh?"

Shuimu's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Gushan Bu Shui in disbelief as Yun Danfeng said the chilling words softly, and retorted hesitantly:

"It's okay, Master Bu Shui. Although I admire Orochimaru, one of the former 'Three Ninjas', I have absolutely no intention of abandoning the Leaf Village and becoming a traitor."

"Really not?"

"I swear to God, I never meant this." Yan

"Okay! I believe it!"

Gushan Bu Shui stopped Shuimu's plan to swear and said casually,

"Why do I need to handle such a trivial matter myself? You go to Togakushi Hinode to intercede, just make a report and it will be done."

"After all, it is a controlled medicinal material. You have to tell Master Bu Shui in advance."

Mizuki still felt that those terrible words that Fusugi Bu Shui had said before were just a way for the Fusugi family, who were closely related to Konoha Village, to test themselves.

If you say one wrong word, you may be sent to Konoha Village for trial.

"You may not know that Orochimaru is not in a good situation right now. Not only is he wanted by Konoha Village, he is also jointly hunted by several S-class rebel ninjas. He will not appear in public for a while. If you have any special ideas,

, you can also discuss it with our Gushan family." Yan

"Huh? Can your family contact Orochimaru? This is too... strange."

"How could it be? Our Gusugi clan is a well-known family and we will not have anything to do with rebellious ninjas with bad deeds, but..."

Gu Shan Bu Shui said with a smile,

"As the deputy clan of the Country of Fire, no matter whether they are civilians, Konoha ninjas, or even rebel ninjas, they are all subjects under the rule. In theory, we must protect his legitimate rights and interests, for example...

"

Gushan Bu Shui raised his finger and said words that made Shuimu stunned:

"If there are ninjas or bounty hunters outside the Land of Fire who want to kill Orochimaru in exchange for reward, in principle, we are on Orochimaru's side. Of course, we will not interfere in private fights between ninjas, let alone

I don’t care about the internal affairs of your Konoha Village."

Legally speaking, all Fire Nation subjects, including Konoha ninjas, whether they are good or bad, born, old, sick or dead, are members of the Fire Nation. The Fire Nation daimyo and the Kosugi family will never support foreign forces and

The killing of one's own countrymen by an individual.

This is a matter of principle. Even if the pot is rotten, it will rot in the pot.

"is that so?"

This really goes against Mizuki's knowledge of more than 20 years.

"Probably, you Konoha ninjas don't regard the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Furusugi family as lords who need to be loyal, but regard the Hokage as the absolute authority."

Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled broadly and said,

"That's okay. The one-village-one-country order was jointly signed by the daimyo of each country and the first Five Kage. The independence of the ninja village must be respected, so..."

Listening to Gusugi Bushui's explanation, Mizuki roughly understood the intricate relationship and interest entanglements between the Fire Country and Konoha Village.

If it's not too dangerous, the Furusugi family is really willing to reach an in-depth cooperation with Orochimaru.

With his research ability, Shimura Danzo's "root" organization will no longer need those crooked melons and cracked dates.

pity!

Over the years, the third generation of Hokage and Sarutobi Hiruzen have been effective in governing the Leaf Village. Even people like Mizuki who have a backbone of rebellion have not yet turned away from their will.

Indeed, at this time, Mr. Mizuki was just lamenting the unfairness of fate, and was always looking for opportunities to get ahead. His biggest goal in life was still to reach a high position in Konoha Village and gain respect, rather than defecting after being completely disappointed.

If he hadn't made a mistake during the mission and was caught, I'm afraid he would have become a mediocre Konoha ninja who is conceited and "unappreciated".

Since it was all a trivial matter, Gushan Bu Shui did not take this matter seriously, but asked his subordinates to deliver a batch of medicinal materials and handed them to Shuimu Yan personally.

"Thank you very much, Master Bu Shui. I have been looking for something for more than a year, and finally..."

"You don't have to be so polite. After all, we were classmates once."

Gu Shan Bu Shui waved his hand,

"There's no need to give the money, it's not worth much. In the future, I ask Teacher Mizuki to be more considerate of Inaba Academy's teaching support."

"Then I would...be respectful rather than obey your orders."

These controlled medicines themselves are not particularly rare, and if the supply is liberalized, they will not be too expensive.

It's just that the supply channel is controlled by the Gushan family, artificially causing shortages, resulting in abnormally high prices.

Monopoly is always the best business model, bar none.

Watching the happy Mizuki leave, Gushan Bu Shui shook his head slightly disappointed.

This Konohagakure chunin's ability is still good, but his character is not good enough and his path is wrong.

I originally thought that such a person would be easily instigated to rebel, but unexpectedly, Gu Shan Bu Shui thought too much.

"House prices must be raised quickly; commodity prices must rise accordingly, especially for food, clothing, housing and transportation; by the way, education and medical care must be raised first."

The cost of raising children and cultivating talents is extremely high, which will increase the cost of education and lower the fertility rate in disguise; as housing prices rise, young people’s desire to get married and have children will decrease; and medical care, if it cannot be fairly and universally beneficial to everyone,

A villager's sense of belonging will be seriously damaged; as for the increase in basic living costs such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, it will be a big killer.

Even with the high income of Konoha ninjas, they may not be able to withstand this series of combination punches.

It would be great fun if there were great ninja clans like Nara and Aburame who controlled a large amount of land and medicinal materials business and went against the trend and widened the gap between the rich and the poor, or even showed it openly.

Making every stratum of a society have a hard time, whether materially or mentally, will inevitably make Konoha Village weaker, and many hidden problems will be exposed.

Of course, to eliminate a privileged class that possesses extraordinary force, these alone may not be enough. Other means must be used in conjunction.

On the other side, Xiang Rin was playing with his classmates and friends. Gusugi Bushui used his telescope to watch for a while, and after mobilizing a large group of mermaid guards and Umibo masters to patrol and guard, he no longer cared, but focused on

Place it on Kaguya Kimimaro, Kusanagi Kyo, Todo Kasumi and Ranmaru who returned from the mission not long ago.

"Why would a Kumo ninja get involved in the Land of Waves?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui was a little confused.

After arranging for Tatsumi, Sora and a group of mermaid ninjas to go to the Land of Waves to deal with the shipping company established by Cardo and his thugs, traces of the activities of several Kumo ninjas were found behind the scenes.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Kosugi Bosui asked Kaguya Kimimaro and others to take a trip.

The team of one jounin, three chuunin and one genin was already very strong. Despite the ambush by Kaguya Kimimaro and others and the siege of Tatsumi and others, they were still all killed.

On the sea, it is basically impossible for anyone to escape the pursuit of mermaids. Coupled with Kaguya Kimimaro's strength, those uninvited guests quickly sank into the deep sea to feed on the fish and shrimps.

"Because the Gushan family is so powerful that Kaduo can't get ahead, so you want to use the strength of Yun Ninja to gain greater benefits?"

In fact, Cardo and his gangster thugs have expressed their desire to take refuge many times.

It's a pity that the Gushan family, which has a large family and business, doesn't need him at all. The entire small island in the East China Sea is Gushan Bushui's private land. How can other forces get involved?

Killing a few Kumo ninjas was not a big deal. Not one or two ninjas died in small-intensity border conflicts every year. If you went deep into someone else's sphere of influence to stir up trouble, you had to be prepared to buy your bones in another country.

"Young Master, did the people sent by Yun Nin perform poorly in this year's 'King of Fighting' Challenge, so the intelligence investigation on our side was strengthened?"

"It's possible."

It’s hard to over-interpret this kind of thing, maybe it’s just an accident.

In addition, the Kingdom of Waves is closer to the Kingdom of Water, and the closest place to the Kingdom of Thunder is also quite far away.

Ninjas are extremely mobile, but on a vast sea with almost no supplies, a cross-sea expedition is extremely dangerous.

"Wait a minute, maybe it's not because of our relationship, but because of tit-for-tat with the Mist Ninja."

Gu Shan Bu Shui suddenly thought of something.

Since the confrontation last year, the relationship between Kumo Ninja and Kiri Ninja has not eased.

The Mist Ninja went north and occupied several islands that they had previously dismissed. They also built fortifications on them and sent ninjas to garrison them.

There are ninjas who are hostile to the ninja village making trouble right under their noses, so of course Kumo ninja will not do it.

As a result, the two sides have done a lot of tit-for-tat things in the past few months. Fortunately, both sides have been relatively restrained, and there have not been many bloody conflicts.

After asking several people in detail about their battle experience, Gushan Bushui also made a rough judgment.

"There's no need to get into a big fight for the time being, let's wait and see."

The conflict between the Mist Ninja and the Cloud Ninja has nothing to do with the Fushigi family. If it weren't for the sensitive land of Wave Country, Fushibu Shui wouldn't bother to care about how they fight life and death in the open sea.

"Next, you go to the Kingdom of the Sea to help Haixing destroy the enemies. At the same time, the men sent by Orochimaru seem to be very ambitious. They want to control Tianzhi and his laboratory, play with the sky and the emperor, and make themselves king.

It’s a trick, it’s a pity…”

They didn't know that that place had long been the territory of the Gushan family.
