Konoha's Destiny Twins

It was already noon when Qing Shui came out of the ANBU building.

The entire Konoha is now in a busy state, with large amounts of combat supplies being continuously transported to several important military castles in Konoha.

One of the most important military castles is Platycodon Castle.

Because Konoha Village is surrounded by mountains and forests on all sides, this is a natural barrier and is not conducive to the march and attack formation of large-scale ninja legions.

The only thoroughfare is the Platycodon Castle built at the foot of Platycodon Mountain.

It can be said that as long as Platycodon Castle is lost, the door of Konoha will be wide open from now on, without any defensive barriers at all.

Therefore, Konoha has stationed a large number of ninjas in this military castle all year round to ensure the absolute safety of this military castle.

Not only that, Platycodon City is also the largest strategic material storage place in Konoha Village.

Almost all strategic supplies are transported through Platycodon City to the remaining military castles in the Land of Fire.

In the Second Ninja War, Platycodon Castle played a huge strategic role.

Maybe the next moment will be war...

Shimizu thought that he should meet his only remaining old friend, the Konoha Jounin who was once his ANBU colleague codenamed Starfire, and his real name was Masakazu Kurokawa.

But now, he is far away from the fighting and has become an ordinary merchant in a wheelchair.

The Sandaime Hokage did invite him to be a teacher at the ninja school, but Masakazu rejected it.

He used the funds Konoha compensated him last time to open a shop called "Kurokawa Ninja".Mainly focusing on various ninja tools such as shurikens, kunai, short swords, kodachi, etc., as well as some supplies.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for ordinary people to have such an opportunity to master the purchase channels of these strategic materials...

Because these materials, such as ninja tools, are just like the firearms in previous lives, they are things that are strictly controlled by the ruler.

Therefore, the ninjas who master these channels must be from a big family that has the trust of the third generation Hokage.

But Masakazu's family is just an ordinary ninja family...

Needless to say, it must have been the Sandaime Hokage who opened a green channel for him.

From this point of view, the Sandaime Hokage seems to be pretty good to the two of them...

It really makes up for a lot.

"Qingshui, why are you here?" Zhenghe, who was sitting in the shop and resting, saw Qingshui's figure from a distance.

This was the first time Qingshui came to this shop in Zhenghe: the location was not that great and the area was not large.

I feel like business won't be very good.

However, because of his limited legs and feet, Zhenghe also hired a clerk to help him manage the shop.

Qing Shui really doubted the commercial purpose of opening this store.

Not making money...

After investing such a large amount of money, it turned out not to be profitable.

Isn’t capital driven by profit?

"Look how you're doing now."

I haven't seen him for several months, and he seems to have gained weight.

"How is business?" Qing Shui asked.

"It's still in its infancy, so it's not very good at the moment."

Qingshui is also not optimistic about it because it is far away from the bustling areas of Konoha Village.

Although it is not far from the Uchiha clan's family territory, how could the ninjas of the Uchiha clan come to him to buy ninja tools and supplies?

Because the Uchiha clan has their own family store.

Is it possible to expect those passing ninjas to buy it?

How many ninjas are passing by this remote and remote place?

At least Qingshui stood here for half an hour, and no one passed by...

"It feels like it will be closed...so deserted."

"Funds are limited, and the cost of this place is low... But I have already talked with the heads of several small families that I am familiar with before, and have negotiated a long-term supply to them. This way at least I won't starve to death."

"That's fine."

The two already had a close friendship, and they soon chatted about their respective current situations.

"Congratulations, Qingshui, for your promotion." Zhenghe congratulated heartily.

"It's not necessarily a good thing. This captain feels like something he picked up. Things he picks up tend to fall off."

"That's why Hokage-sama values ​​you. No matter how many people fight for it, there is no chance. You should take advantage of it."

Soon, the conversation between the two shifted to the issue of Qingshui's custom-made Wind Escape Chakra weapon.

"You said that your previous funds in the Country of Craftsmen were withheld," Zhenghe said in surprise.

"My most important weapon has not been received...but now I have replied to the other party's request and the weapon should be delivered to me in three months."

"Impossible. If your funds are detained, the officials of the Country of Craftsmen will definitely give you a notice or approval document." Zhenghe said firmly.

Regarding the trade of ninja tools, Zhenghe now also knows quite a lot about it.Therefore, he is even more aware of some of the policies of the Country of Craftsmen.

In a country like the Country of Craftsmen, which requires full payment before delivery, how can it make people feel at ease without a certain amount of credit accumulation?

"But I did not receive my weapon."

"You think, if the country of craftsmen dares to do this and detain customers' funds at will. If this matter gets out, who will dare to order weapons from them in the future?"

"indeed."

Qing Shui suddenly remembered what Dai Dao once told him, "The princess has played pranks not once or twice."So to put it simply, he was fooled.

Although Qian Liuli is a princess, she is the princess of the Kingdom of Iron.How can a mere brat interfere in the business of a sword master from a country of craftsmen?

Thinking back carefully, his brain was really short-circuited at that time. He wanted to get the weapon he had been dreaming about quickly, and he was preoccupied with other things... He didn't think about the trick at all, and he forgot about it. What Knife once said to him

So according to Zhenghe, Qian Liuli deceived him.

That handprint... most likely isn't his.

In fact, as long as he ignores it, the Wind Escape sword will be delivered to him in three months.

The dignified time traveler was actually frightened by a little girl

Who can think of

Shame

After saying goodbye to Zhenghe, Qingshui immediately wrote a letter and handed it to the inn.Ask the master far away in the land of craftsmen about the latest status of his customized weapons.

Please be patient and wait for a reply to see what's going on.

"Captain Kongryu, I am a member of the 9th team under the 8th team, codenamed Midori. We have made new discoveries about the disappearance of the genin and we need you to check it out in person."

The sudden appearance of the Anbu did not surprise Qingshui, because the other party came to him without covering his body.

And Shimizu also knew that the Sandaime Hokage had indeed assigned an ANBU team to help him investigate the matter.

I remember it was a squad of the Ninth Brigade under the First Anbu Legion. The squad leader was code-named Libra, and he was a veteran jounin with good strength.

"where"

"In the northeast of Exercise Ground No. 44, near the river near the entrance to No. 42."

The so-called Exercise Ground No. 44 is actually the Forest of Death.As for Entrance No. 42, it is a remote area close to the edge of Konoha.

There is a river there that runs through the entire Death Forest, passing through Entrance 42 and extending to the outside of Konoha Village. It is impossible for ninjas to go there normally.

Because that place is almost 40 kilometers away from the center of Konoha Village.

"What did you find?"

"A secret room...Captain Libra said he would explain it to you personally...It's a very important matter. Please follow me to Gate 42 quickly."

Could it be that they discovered Orochimaru's hidden laboratory there?

"Okay, then lead the way."

I think this kind of interaction can improve my grasp of the plot.

There are so many of you, and your combined imaginations are so terrifying...

Post more and let me know what you think.

Except for turning me into a second-guessing beast.
