Naruto Hunter

As a result, the three brats came over all wet. Xi and others have long been accustomed to it. The climate in Kusanagi Village is very warm, and the physical fitness of ninjas is better than that of ordinary people. There is no need to worry about catching colds. It is a barbecue party anyway, sitting on the charcoal fire After roasting for a while, two of the three jonins from Kirigakure Village came out. The other one needed to guard Ye Cang at all times. The ones who came out would deliver meals to the people inside.

At this time, Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi also saw the problem. There was no doubt that there was someone in the house, and it was inconvenient to show up. Perhaps this was the reason why Shio and others stayed in the Grass Ninja Village.

Kakashi wanted to ask, but was afraid that the situation would become tense again. He was thinking about how to use words, but Xi noticed it and said proactively: "It's all my personal business and has nothing to do with the village."

"Then why did you come to the Grass Ninja Village?" Kakashi still asked: "You also know that it is somewhat unreasonable for ninjas from other villages to settle in the Grass Ninja Village."

"It's just accidental." Shio pointed at Izaki Yumi and said, "She has had enough of staying in the village and wanted to find a place to live for a while. We visited the Country of Grass on a mission when we were young, so we chose this one."

"Just like that?"

"Otherwise?" Xi laughed: "Things are not that complicated to begin with. I came to the Grass Ninja Village because the first village I met was the Grass Ninja Village. It can be considered fate."

"The Grass Ninja Village will probably hate your fate."

"It doesn't matter. I don't care what they think. There's nothing in this village worth worrying about. Don't just talk about us, talk about you Konoha."

"What happened to Konoha?"

"Everyone understands your purpose of supporting the Grass Ninja Village. You can just show off on the surface. Is it worth sending you out to investigate? You should be considered a high-ranking member of Konoha ANBU now."

"It's just a squad leader, it doesn't count. As for your question, I can't answer it. It's not that I don't want to, but I don't know what the Sandaime Hokage is thinking."

"Oh, it's okay. I just want to ask. It doesn't matter. The meat is roasted. Let's eat."

"...Okay." After Kakashi finished speaking, he and Uchiha Itachi took off the masks on their faces. They both knew their identities, so it didn't matter whether they wore it or not.

In the anime, Kakashi looks very mysterious. It seems that few people have seen it, but in the real world, it can't be that mysterious. There is always time to eat. Do you really think this is an anime, and you can finish it in one second?

Kakashi is quite handsome under the mask. He doesn't deliberately maintain that sense of mystery. Wearing a mask is just a habit. This is the first time for Shi to see Kakashi. Isaki Yumi was in Konoha before. I've seen it before, but I didn't take it seriously. Judging from Uchiha Itachi's reaction, I should have seen it before, so don't judge the world by the plot in the anime. It's easy to fall into inertial thinking. , the one who suffers in the end is himself.

In the anime, the ninja villages are incompatible with each other. When you meet them in the wild, they look like they are facing a formidable enemy. In fact, this is not the case at all. Ninjas are also human beings and they cherish their own lives. No one will look for trouble. When there is no conflict Under such circumstances, ninjas from different villages rarely fight with each other. Just like a ninja is a knife. Without the hand holding the knife, the knives will not cut each other.

Therefore, it is nothing for Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi to stay at Shio's place for a meal, especially because of Izaki Yumi's relationship. After two years of smuggling, everyone is considered an acquaintance, and no one has to worry about being betrayed by the other party. Kakashi ate happily. Uchiha Itachi's eating movements were relatively gentle. For a big family like Uchiha, and he was the son of the patriarch, etiquette courses were compulsory.

The social background of this world is mixed. There are places where you need to pay attention to etiquette and etiquette, and the requirements are not so strict. There is no requirement to eat and sleep without speaking. Maybe ancient families have it, but there is no need for those present to abide by it. For this, just swallow the food in your mouth when you speak. Don't speak indistinctly with a mouth full of food. This is very rude, especially when the food residue in your mouth spurts out.

A group of people chatted while eating, and the matter about coming to Kirigakure Village was finally revealed. Xi gave the answer. Whether Konoha believed it or not was not something he could control. It didn't matter to him. Originally, Konoha believed it or not. There is no conspiracy. Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, come and investigate. Don't provoke him. You can investigate whatever you want. If you dare to trouble him, he doesn't mind teaching Konoha a lesson. He has always been nothing to Konoha. Good impression.

"By the way, Kakashi, I suddenly had an idea." Halfway through eating, Xi said with an idea: "There is a strong division of power between the ninja villages. We can try to break this barrier."

"Tell me more specifically." Kakashi also became interested.

Wuyin Village attaches great importance to business, and attracting investment is a top priority. It urgently hopes that more and more caravans will come to Wuyin Village to do business. However, there is a problem. In addition to large merchants who do transnational business, many Chinese Small caravans have no chance to come to Kirigakure Village. This involves a division of power. The territory of the Fire Country belongs to Konoha Village, and the territory of Water Country belongs to Kirigakure Village. The ninjas who protect the caravan cannot easily set foot in other villages. sphere of influence.

For example, a caravan sets out from the Country of Fire to Kirigakure Village. The caravan needs to hire ninjas from Konoha Village to go to the border of Fire Country and Water Country, and then re-hire ninjas from Kirigakure Village to go to Kirigakure Village. Why are there not enough ninjas in Kirigakure Village to carry out commercial activities? This is because this kind of border needs to station defense troops and task teams. It is similar to having an office on the border. There are many such offices.

This is easy to understand. If a caravan from the Kingdom of Fire wants to hire ninjas from Kirigakure Village to go to Kirigakure Village, they can't go to Kirigakure Village to issue a mission first, and then wait for the ninjas to take them into the village. Wouldn't that be a paradox? Well, it is impossible to release the mission at the border, wait for the ninjas in Kirigakure Village to pass the mission back to the village, and then send other escort ninjas from the village. For the caravan, time is money, and such a torment will be delayed. Too much time.

For this reason, ninja villages will have offices at the border, where there are teams waiting for tasks. The remaining ninjas have defense forces stationed at the border, patrols and defense forces to maintain the security and defense of the village, and the remaining ninjas The only ninjas who can take on tasks in Kirigakure Village are the mission teams. There have always been very few ninjas in Kirigakure Village. Especially after the war, Kirigakure Village now has so many tasks that it can never be completed.

Therefore, people in the ninja world have very weird ideas. They have to issue tasks to ninjas for big things. It seems that they are all a group of disabled people, but they have to do it. The ninjas live by the rewards of the tasks, and the village The ninjas in the village are extremely busy, and the ninjas at the border office are also busy. When many Water Kingdom residents who post tasks are closer to the office, there is no need to go to Kirigakure Village to post tasks, just go to the office directly.

This situation has led to the fact that not many ninjas in the border office can receive the task of guarding caravans from other countries. This is only one of the reasons. The other is the cost issue. Let’s take the Fire Country caravan as an example. They are quite good along the way. Yu hired ninjas twice, once in Konoha Village and once in Kirigakure Village. This increased the cost. Hiring ninjas from Konoha Village to go directly from the Land of Fire to Kirigakure Village was definitely more expensive than going to the border between the two countries, but it was farther. Far less than the cost of hiring twice.

For example, hiring a Konoha ninja to go to the border costs 1 yuan, and hiring a Kirigakure ninja to go to Kirigakure Village also costs 1 yuan. But if a Konoha ninja can go directly, it may only cost 1.2 yuan, which is more appropriate than 2 yuan anyway. The reason why this cannot be done is also because of the division of power in the Ninja Village. This division is not absolute. It does not mean that the ninjas in the Ninja Village can only operate in their own country. They will also go to other countries, but there is no Great Ninja Village. Small country.

The ninjas of Konoha can escort the caravan from the Country of Fire to the Country of Yu. As for the Yunin Village itself in the Country of Yu, the Konoha ninjas do not need to give them face at all. This is the confidence of the Great Ninja Village, but they are also When it came to the Great Ninja Village, both sides had a lot of worries. Not to mention Kirigakure Village, even a weak village like Sunagakure Village had such requirements. Konoha ninjas could just come secretly and blatantly enter the Wind. country, that would be a slap in the face.

This is the case for the ninjas hired by small and medium-sized caravans. They either try their luck to sneak into other countries and consider themselves unlucky when discovered by other ninja villages, or they re-hire ninjas from the corresponding countries at the border and bear the increased costs themselves. This has resulted in many small and medium-sized caravans being unwilling to do business in other countries. They would rather stay in their own country and wander around different cities and villages than leave the country.

This kind of business atmosphere is equivalent to a monopoly. All external commodity resources are controlled by those large multinational merchants. This is very bad. Without good business competition, the commercial lifeline of Wuyin Village will be seized by others. , Xi made this suggestion. What he wanted to break was the barrier between the ninja villages, so that the ninjas from the two villages could directly escort the caravan to its destination, saving costs for small and medium-sized caravans, and thereby attracting More merchants.

"That's what I want to say. You have heard the benefits. You don't have to worry about Kirigakure Village taking over Konoha Village's mission share. We are too busy with the tasks in the Kingdom of Water. Those who come to Kirigakure Village The Konoha ninjas can also receive the task of escorting the caravan back here, which can also save costs for those caravans. The reward for the return journey is definitely much cheaper than the special escort trip, which is beneficial to both of us."

Xi's words made Kakashi also fall into deep thought, thinking about the pros and cons in his mind. After a while, he said: "It is a dangerous thing for ninjas from other ninja villages to enter their own village. What do you think about this issue?" .”

"Simple, just mark an area and come out." Xi explained: "You have never been to Kirigakure Village. Contrary to Konoha, many residents who belong to Kirigakure Village live outside the village, but in name the entire island belongs to Kirigakure. Hidden Village, we can set aside an area specifically for ninjas from other villages to live in. This is set as a safe zone. All violent behavior is prohibited here, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to Kirigakure Village. In the same way, you Konoha can also Do this."

"I understand what you mean." Kakashi's eyes lit up and he said: "Establish an area outside Konoha Village, which is what you call a safe area. Ninjas from outside can rest and wait here. For example, if they are coming The ninjas of the Kirigakure Village can accept missions from the Water Kingdom caravan and return together, but they cannot accept missions from other countries, and they cannot easily enter the Konoha Village. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes, this is a multi-directional initiative. It is not just for the two villages of Konoha and Kirigakure. Other villages can also join in if they want to join. Everyone lives in the safe zone. Fighting is prohibited here, and those with personal grudges can You can go to the wilds and cause trouble as much as you like, but you are never allowed to disrupt commercial activities. The caravan is limited, and there are not many ninjas who can go to other ninja villages. I think that as a great ninja village, we are not afraid of the other side's ninjas."
