The blind swordsman selling pots in Konoha

For a moment, Shaz really planned to leave.

But Kakashi's reaction made Shaz change his mind - things might be more complicated and simpler than he thought.

Kakashi's insistence on continuing this mission made Shaz realize a conjecture - does Konoha really not understand the situation in the Country of Waves?

According to the plot, most of the bridge in Wave Country has been built at this time, and Konoha is completely unaware of this?

Putting it into reality, this is basically equivalent to country R building a cross-sea bridge to country Z, but country Z has no knowledge of it or even knows it but does nothing about it. Is this possible?

The world of Naruto is not really an ancient society where information exchange is inconvenient. This world is full of household appliances. Although mobile phones are rarely used, walkie-talkies are not a rare commodity, so there is no problem in information transmission.

The bridge now under construction not only crosses the sea, but also crosses a country!

The Country of Waves is a country as big as it is, and this bridge is a major project connecting the two countries. Even if Konoha does not consider safety issues, the trade interests after the bridge is completed must be considered, right?

Don't say that Konoha is just a shinobi village, and the affairs between countries should be the responsibility of the daimyo of each country.

Didn't you see that all the wars in the ninja world were initiated by the heads of the ninja villages, and were finally ended by the heads of the ninja villages? Whether it was territory or war compensation, they were all discussed among the ninja villages. At most, they would write a written report afterwards and send it to the daimyo for him to review. , sign.

The daimyo is just a mascot, and the real people in charge are the major ninja villages themselves.

Therefore, when Shaz was sure that Kakashi must continue this mission, Shaz felt that he had reason to make two guesses.

First, Konoha knows the details of this mission. Even if they didn't know it before, there is a high probability that ANBU is looking for information now.

Second, Konoha or the Third Generation have no idea about this bridge (at least not yet). After all, the social system of this world is still quite retro, and they should not be aware of bridge tolls or anything like that.

Konoha or the Third Generation is not interested in bridge tolls, but Shaz is interested in bridge tolls!

"The bridge was built with hard work. Is it reasonable for those profiteers to pay a fee for using this bridge? It doesn't need to be much, just pay them 10% of the total purchase price of the goods as the bridge toll!"

Shaz grinned and showed his white teeth. At this moment, he could already imagine the grand occasion of money rolling in.

and many more!

A mouthful of white teeth?

One bite...Kakashi's father? !

"Collecting bridge tolls...Brother, what's the difference between this and robbery?" Naruto complained.

Perhaps it was Naruto who spoke their minds, but the others nodded in agreement.

"joke!"

Shaz glared at Naruto...oh, he was blind and couldn't stare.

"This is much faster than robbery! And it won't be condemned by conscience and the money is stable!"

Crowd: ...

We suspect that you have no conscience at all, or maybe your conscience is just stable money!

However, after being speechless, Kakashi began to think seriously about Shaz's proposal, perhaps because of his different vision.

"Is 10% of the purchase price of the goods too high? And the purchase price is not easy to determine." Kakashi said.

"The distance from Konoha Village to the Country of Waves is not very close. The price of transporting a batch of goods is at least double the purchase price. After all, the cost is not only the purchase price, but also transportation, manpower, and unexpected risks that may be encountered during the journey. Including the cost, 10% of the purchase price is actually not high," Schatz explained.

Kakashi nodded silently. Although he didn't know much about business, what Shaz said still made sense.

Even though Shaz who said this is a profiteer among profiteers, as a profiteer among profiteers, he definitely understands profiteers better!

"As for calculating the price of their goods, it is very simple. Those who come from the Country of Waves are naturally easy to calculate, and those who go from the Country of Fire to the Country of Waves or pass through the Country of Fire to the Country of Waves will all be priced according to Konoha's prices. calculate!"

"This will not only increase the income from bridge tolls, but also help the export of Konoha's products. It will serve multiple purposes!"

The other four members of the team:...

A profiteer, a real profiteer!

The four members of the team were speechless, but Dazna became immediately anxious.

Even if you discuss allocating my bridge in front of me, why do you still charge for goods from the Kingdom of Waves?

I think you, a blind man, are blinded by your own black heart, right? !

"I disagree! It's not fair! That's our bridge! You can't take what's ours!"

Dazna was so excited that he even forgot his previous lesson and yelled at Shaz.

Naruto and Sakura were obviously moved by this, with confusion written all over their faces.

Sakura: "Shaz, are you like this..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Shaz felt a little baffled.

"What I want is the operating rights of the bridge, not ownership. What have I robbed you of? And I'm talking about collecting bridge tolls from merchants. What does that have to do with you? Is it possible that you can still transport the goods all the way across the country? From the Land of Waves to Konoha?"

"What you, an island nation, can only sell is seafood. If you don't have time to transport it to Konoha, you might as well catch more fish."

Meowing, why do you feel that what Shaz said makes sense?

But what are management rights and ownership?

Sakura and Naruto suddenly became more entangled.

"This...then what do you think the things they sell to us will be more expensive?!"

What can you afford? You can’t even afford a basin!

Although he thought so in his heart, Shaz would not say it in his mouth.

"First of all, 10% of the purchase price will not cause a significant increase in the selling price, for the reasons I have stated before."

"Secondly, even if merchants are not forced to purchase goods from Konoha, they will price them with reference to Konoha's prices when they purchase goods from elsewhere and sell them to you."

"You travel so far to transport things and sell them. If you can get a higher price, do you think they will give up? Do you think they are doing charity!"

Dazna:......

Although he was speechless, Dazna was still unwilling to give in just like that.

Seeing this, Shaz took another shot.

"Besides, what if we protect you and build this bridge? Cardo can just hire any genin with two detonating charms to blow up the bridge. What will you do then? Just wait for them to blow it up again?"

Dazna moved his lips, but no more words came out.

"The money I want is not for myself. The bulk of it must go to Konoha. I don't have the spare time to stand by the bridge every day and collect tolls one by one."

"When the time comes, Konoha will send people to guard the bridge, and they will naturally protect the safety of the bridge."

"Kado will naturally retreat when the time comes, and if he doesn't know how to appreciate it...hehehehe..."

Shaz let out a dissolute laugh of unknown meaning.

"The blockade of shipping will inevitably affect your fishing. If it affects your fishing, it will affect your shipments. If it affects the shipments, it will affect the number of merchants. If it affects the number of merchants, it will affect the bridge tolls. It will affect the bridge tolls... ...Konoha will slap him!"

After the matryoshka session, Dazna's eyes were round and bright.

"but!"

As we all know, no matter how long and reasonable the first half of a paragraph is, as long as a but appears, the focus of the paragraph must be the part after the but.

"The only question is - can you be the master of this bridge?"
