Hokage: Give Me Face

Chapter 44 Waiting for the Rabbit (1/3)

The day before yesterday, a target appeared on Tochigi Island, and Hanazawa Jōnin was killed."

"The day before yesterday, a target appeared on Ishikawa Island, and Hase Jōnin was killed."

"Yesterday, Miejima..."

"Damn it kid!"

boom!

The long table was smashed, Loquat Shizang clenched his fists tightly, his body was shaking, he was angry, and he was about to go crazy.

This is a small conference room, in addition to Loquat Shizang, there are six other people.

When the leader read the information in his hand, the scene was a little silent, not only Loquat Tenzo, but Ye Xuan was not caught, everyone felt that their faces were dull.

"Tochigi Island, Ishikawa Island, Mie Island, and Jōnin, the hill where the capital died, from the route, this kid will turn back and forth after reaching the capital. What does he think?"

"Did he know the news of the opening of the port?"

"It shouldn't be possible, although there are many 'mouse' of Konoha hidden in our country, but this kid is hidden too well, I guess these 'mouse' can't find him, without the source of intelligence, he can't tell the ordinary people get the news."

You sentence me to a sentence, the silent scene is lively again, and at the top, the man who has read the information has been silent all the time. He is thin and looks weak, but he seems to have infinite power. Soon, everyone will be Looking at him.

"Boss, what do you think?"

"Yes, boss, it's been a long time since the seven of us did a mission together. This kid is not strong, but he is very cunning. For our reputation, we must catch him!"

Everyone said that the man just listened, until after everyone's voice disappeared again, he slowly raised his head, his young face showed vicissitudes and calmness.

"No pears are even eight, you are wrong about one thing, you say that this kid is not strong, but you forget that he is less than 10 years old, according to the battle traces, he and Xiaoshan Jōnin fought very fiercely, and in the end, Xiaoshan Jōnin was even more He was defeated by the Great Waterfall Jutsu, perhaps because of his age, his Chakra amount was small, but his ninjutsu talent and fighting talent have reached a level that I have never heard of before, even if I or Mizukage-sama, it is impossible to defeat Jōnin at a young age."

The man's words shocked everyone, and then they remembered that, for some time, they and others had ignored Ye Xuan's age and raised Ye Xuan to the same level.

"Boss, we..."

"I don't mean to teach you a lesson. This time, the Konoha kid is not simple. If it is allowed to develop, it will definitely become a disaster for the country of water in the future. This time, I will do it myself.

The man slowly got up, a dull pressure radiated all around, glanced at everyone, and said solemnly: "Don't hide the news of the opening of the port, send the order down, let everyone in the country of water know that there are two ports on the border. Open, the first one is Kyushu Port leading to the country of wind, and the second is Nagasaki port leading to the country of fire, the six of you continue to search the Konoha kid across the country, and I..."

He paused for a moment, and then a cold smile appeared on his face.

"I will go to Nagasaki Port and wait. With my natural perception ability, as long as the kid dares to come, I will let him come and go!"

.....

Ye Xuan didn't know that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen set a trap. When the news of the opening of the border port spread throughout the country, he was overjoyed and couldn't wait to go back.

Of course, in addition to being happy, Ye Xuan also doubted whether it was a conspiracy. Every time he went to an island, he went to the city's traders to inquire about news, and he came to the same conclusion. All the traders believed that the opening of the port was an inevitable event. .

A country's fiscal revenue mainly depends on collecting taxes, and the taxes collected can do too much.

Why do villages need a state? Why is the big name so important?

Because the village is only a department of the state, an armed department, everything in the village depends on state resources.

War needs money, and Kunai is also made of iron. Detonating charms, food and grass, everything, all need money to buy.

Just like Konoha, even if there is no war, the country of fire will give Konoha 1 billion funds for development every year, after all, when Konoha is strong, the country of fire will be strong.

But where does the country's money come from?

It's taxation!

The poll tax is a small tax. The main source of the tax is business. The more businessmen earn, the higher the tax rate. Especially those top businessmen, 40% of the money they earn every year will be handed over to the state.

Blocking the port is only temporary. After all, the profits of transnational business are the most exaggerated. Even if the big name wants to block it, the people below will make trouble.

Once he understood the essence of things, the next step was much easier, Ye Xuan dropped his guard, and even gave up his plan to continue attacking Jōnin, and quickly marched towards the border.

Ye Xuan really wanted to go back to Konoha. This time when he was running for his life seemed unrestrained, but in fact he had to be scheming at all times, and he had to be careful. The pressure of taking one wrong step and shattering his bones had already exhausted him.

One day, two days, three days, four days!

After taking countless boats and crossing countless islands, Ye Xuan finally came to another port on the border, that is, the port from the Land of Water to the Land of Fire - Nagasaki Port.

"Damn, it's really open!"

From a distance, more than a dozen merchant ships were moored at the port, densely packed with workers carrying goods onto the ship, and the foreman standing on the deck shouting to make the workers hurry up.

At the ticket office of the passenger ship on the other side of the port, a shirtless ninja with short sleeves is guarding there, and the civilians who buy tickets and board the ship will be carefully checked by him.

"In order to reduce accidents, if you don't go to the passenger ship, you will take the merchant ship, find a cargo box, get in, and board the ship without knowing it. As long as you get on the ship, everything will be fine!"

Ye Xuan felt that his plan was successful, so he couldn't help laughing, but the next moment, his face froze, and he was surprised to find that the ninja wearing a sleeveless shirt was staring at him silently at the ticket office far away, then opened his mouth, His mouth moved a few times.

At that moment, Ye Xuan felt an extreme crisis pouring into his mind. He turned his head and ran away without even thinking about it. Although he couldn't hear the sound, he got a shocking fact from the other person's mouth.

"Little devil, I finally got to you!"_
